Chapter 36 Exterminate All
Chapter 36 Exterminate All
Watching the goblins scatter and flee.
Everyone was exhausted, and even raising their hands was difficult. They had no strength to get up and chase after them.
"Hehehe!!"
Krankie and Dark dropped their weapons and slumped to the ground, breathing heavily like bellows.
"This is...this is really tough! I've never fought such a powerful goblin in my entire life!"
"Krankie said, panting heavily."
Darke crawled on the ground, slowly inching back the dagger he had thrown, and replied:
"Yes, Captain, we have to report this to the Adventurers' Guild."
This rescue mission can be described as resulting in heavy casualties.
Of the thirteen villagers who had come with them, only two or three were still able to stand.
Of course, the villagers also personally killed several green-skinned animals.
after all.
Even a goblin that has mastered apprentice-level martial arts is still just a goblin.
The three members of the Lark Squad all knew this.
Facing more than twenty goblins at the same time, they probably wouldn't even last two rounds.
They survived entirely thanks to this group of "human shields".
Given the goblins' despicable nature, they would naturally prioritize attacking these easy targets.
In addition, the rock wall built by the earth elemental before it left ensured that adventurers did not have to worry about their safety behind them.
"ε=(´ο`*) Sigh, Millie, Dark, don't lie there anymore, let's clean up the battlefield."
"I can't stand up," Krankie said, staggering to his feet.
The members of Lark's squad were not yet completely off guard.
Many goblins on the battlefield were not killed by them personally, and it is possible that some were still alive.
Those who had broken legs or suffered abdominal injuries but hadn't died, all of them had to be given the final blows one by one.
Of course, we also need to sort out the spoils.
Rusty ironware can be taken back and sold at a low price.
Millie stabbed a goblin that was feigning death to death with her knife, then turned and ordered in a deep voice:
"Send someone back to the village to report the news, and bring over a few more oxcarts; there are too many wounded here."
"Captain, we're at a huge loss! So many goblins, and they even have spellcasters! This commission must be at least Iron-level!"
Dak's complaints followed immediately.
Krankie, holding a pile of scrap metal, laughed and cursed:
"You should be grateful you survived! Without the earth elemental's help, we'd all be goblin excrement by now!"
A few hours later.
Several oxcarts and donkey carts slowly approached from a distance.
Yue Feng looked up.
When they saw Sovia's father, Aaron, also arriving with an oxcart, he came specifically to help transport the wounded.
After all, we are all from the same village, and it is only right to help each other when neighbors are in trouble.
This enthusiasm is exactly the same as Sovia's.
However, the three members of Lark's team did not return to the village with the oxcart. Instead, they asked the villagers to help transport the rusty scrap iron back to the village.
The group of people stayed away from the battlefield and chose a place free from blood, severed limbs, and excrement.
They lit a fire on the spot to cook and replenish their energy.
"Hey? Why aren't you all going back to the village to rest?"
Sovia asked, puzzled.
"It's our practice. Whenever we undertake an adventure mission targeting goblins, we always search for their young as soon as the battle is over."
Captain Cranch took a sip of minced meat broth and explained.
Following the captain's lead, Darke raised his hand and lightly traced a line across his neck, saying:
"We didn't have the strength to chase after those goblins who escaped, but we must leave no one alive among their offspring!"
Among the lower-level adventurers, the Lark Squad is known for its conscientiousness and dedication.
Ordinary adventurers wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.
It's even highly likely that they deliberately release the cubs, intentionally leaving them as a threat so they can make a quick buck later.
Millie, the spellcaster in the squad, didn't eat a single bite after finishing cooking.
Yue Feng thought she was disgusted by the goblin's mangled limbs and filth and had no appetite.
To everyone's surprise, Millie pulled out a small whetstone from her backpack.
He walked alone to a nearby puddle and began to carefully sharpen his dagger.
"Uh, how much does she hate goblins...?"
Yue Feng wasn't a native, so he naturally didn't understand the brutal nature of goblins.
In his eyes, goblins were just a bunch of cunning green rats.
He has some brains, but not many.
One punch, one kill; it feels pretty good.
Yue Feng couldn't even understand how such inferior creatures could survive in the forest.
After a while.
After Krankie and Darke had eaten and drunk their fill, Millie had also sharpened her dagger.
The group searched the forest for a short time before finding the cave nest where the goblins had once lived.
This is where Yue Feng entered while chasing Di Wo.
But in this dilapidated cave, he found neither treasure nor anything of note.
During the search for the missing child, they discovered many cavities behind the rock strata.
If there were any living creatures hiding inside, his tremors should have given him a warning.
As Yue Feng had guessed, the facts proved correct.
There was nothing inside the cave.
"Impossible! How could a goblin's lair be so clean? There must be clues in the cave that we haven't found!"
"Krankie frowned and said."
Goblins are never clean and have no means of taking care of themselves.
A normal goblin nest is bound to be covered in feces; it's normal to step on and kill an entire family of maggots.
But Divor was an educated goblin, and naturally he wouldn't allow his people to defecate or urinate indiscriminately in their lair.
Yue Feng saw that the Skylark Squad was still unwilling to leave.
He could only turn around and vomit everything from his large stomach into Sovia's.
Wow~
Two spider tarsi, a spell scroll, three mana storage ores, and two gold coins were tossed into Sovia's arms.
"I'll crawl behind the rock strata and take a look."
After Yue Feng uttered a sentence in Tu language that no one could understand, his entire rocky body collapsed with a roar.
The elemental essence within the earth element penetrated directly into the rock strata.
For earth elements, moving underground is almost like swimming in the sea.
The only difference is.
Yue Feng does not need to breathe and is not affected by the pressure of the rock strata.
He swam into several larger cavities to search carefully.
"Holy shit!"
When drilling into the second rock cavity.
He saw seven or eight goblin cubs huddled together in a corner.
What surprised Yue Feng even more was that the cubs didn't make a sound at all, and even their trembling was extremely slight.
Like a newborn gazelle, it must hide in the grass and remain absolutely quiet.
"No wonder the tremor perception didn't give any clues; these goblins are really good at hiding!"
"But if Devor dies, won't all these goblin cubs starve to death inside?"
Yue Feng did not kill the goblin cubs.
He used his clay-shaping technique to create an opening, giving the opportunity to others.
I heard the sound of the soil and rocks loosening.
Among the goblin cubs, one little guy who couldn't even open his eyes yet immediately crawled slowly toward the gap.
It had just climbed to the exit.
"Pfft!"
Millie raised her hand, grabbed the polished dagger, and plunged it viciously into the back of the cub's head.
Spin, pull out, and then step into the goblin nursery.
Krankie and Dark simply stood outside, leisurely calculating their gains.
"I love this team!"
Yue Feng praised in his heart.
