V1.Chapter 50

The light is getting dimmer.

Sauron gradually entered the dense forest. The sounds of various animals were heard around, and there was even a small elk. It watched the surroundings vigilantly, and lowered its head to graze from time to time. When he noticed the shadow of Sauron's position After that, he immediately ran out of the room with alertness. Because there is no human damage, there are a lot of wild animals in the wilderness area, and the dense grass vegetation greatly increases the number of wild animals. Sometimes you can catch hares in the fields.

Sauron stopped in a puddle. He stretched out his hand and picked up a little bit of dark red soil and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

The taste of blood.

It should be very close to the gathering place of kobolds.

Kobolds are small reptilian humanoids with cowardly and brutal tendencies. They have scaly skin on their bodies, ranging in color from dark rust to dark black, which can provide them with a certain degree of protection (natural armor +1), their eyes are red, and they have good night vision. With a tail that cannot be curled. Most of the kobolds are ragged, they prefer red and orange, and they will strip off the clothes of the dead and put them on. They are about 3 feet tall and weigh about 50 pounds.

Kobolds can speak dragon language, but still sound like a puppy.

Like the lizardmen, they are oviparous and born in a litter, so they are often encountered in the wilderness.

Don't despise these little things because of their size. Ordinary kobolds are more effective than civilians. Although they are not strong, they are more agile, and their agility values ​​can reach around 13-15 points. And they also have the innate abilities of 'miners' and 'trap making', most kobolds will make some simple traps, such as stumbling lines and trap holes. Because they are naturally timid, kobolds generally do not act alone. They often appear in groups of three or five. They will attack when twice as many as the enemy. If the number is similar, kobolds will gather more companions, or directly Abandon the attack.

If things go wrong in battle, kobolds will run away quickly, much like goblins.

correct.

They can eat people.

Sauron continued to move forward along the footprints, and at the same time took out the strong crossbow, the poisoned crossbow bolts are not worth using on these small things, otherwise the loot will not be comparable to the props he used. Ordinary crossbow bolts are enough to deal with these little things. There is still half a bottle of the venom of the bipedal dragon. In order to ensure safety, Sauron still carried three such crossbow bolts on his body.

The purpose is to guard against the kobold warlock!

Kobolds are the most warlock-prone creatures, although most kobold warlocks have low class levels.

But the frequency of occurrence is a little scary.

They are staunch proponents of the draconic tradition of warlocks, as kobolds have a hint of draconic blood, they communicate in the Draconic language, and a kobold warlock or two pops up every now and then.

When dealing with powerful spellcasters, no amount of caution is excessive.

The bloodstains in front gradually increased. Sauron stopped in front of a grass that was obviously passed over. He took out his machete and fiddled with it, and immediately saw a rope. If you accidentally touch it, something may come over, or you may stumble and hang upside down. At the beginning, many people suffered from these little things. Because at first, many people, including Sauron, rushed out to farm monsters, but they were almost wiped out by mobs. (Kobolds are born with +20 points of trap skill, which is equivalent to the level of ordinary hunters setting traps.)

There was a screeching noise in front of me, and there was a faint barking of dogs.

Sauron touched the weapon and approached little by little. The kobold's sense of smell was okay, stronger than that of a human, but far less than that of a wolf dog, so he still had to be careful when sneaking.

soon.

A group of kobolds appeared in front of Sauron.

There are about thirty kobolds, half of them are ordinary kobolds, half are kobold warriors with equipment, and there is a dark red kobold with a wooden stick. I don’t know if it is a kobold warlock. next to a cauldron. If the caster in this world is disguised or not holding the iconic equipment, then it is impossible to judge at once. For example, a priest fights with a stick and fights for a long time until he releases a magic trick, and then you find out that he knows magic!

Most of the time, you have to rely on your own observation skills.

The cauldron was held on wooden sticks, and there were kobolds throwing firewood next to it. It was not clear what was being stewed in it, but Sorenchai knew that it might be goblins, beasts, mushrooms, weeds and the like. Kobolds are omnivorous and eat grass and meat. When no prey is found, the roots of mushrooms and weeds in the forest can be boiled to fill their stomachs. If there is a shortage of food, they will also fight with the nearby goblins. Generally, it is impossible to tell the winner, but after the fight, there is always something to cook in the pot.

The savings is enough for ten days and a half months.

A group of kobolds were drooling around the cauldron, barking from time to time. Sauron saw the goblin that had been cut into pieces, but when he saw the dismembered remains of a human female, his face instantly turned gloomy. a lot. Kobolds do not dare to attack the village directly, they only dare to sneak in, and sometimes adult men do not dare to attack at will, but only dare to hunt children and women.

Kobolds are timid and ferocious.

They would surreptitiously approach lone women and children outside villages, kill them within a short time, and then drag their bodies back.

Thirty kobolds are not so easy to deal with!

Sauron hid aside and counted carefully, judging the danger level of this group of kobolds. There were about ten or so kobold warriors. They held short swords, clubs and short spears. Some of them were also wearing leather armor. Humanoids also craft equipment. Next to them are five kobold archers. They are equipped with short bows and daggers. The short bows are all made by themselves, using wood and animal tendons. Although the power is not very large, it can hurt at close range.

Other ordinary kobolds have weapons, but most of them are rough wooden sticks, which are not too problematic to hit.

The only thing that can't be determined.

That is whether the dark red kobold next to the cauldron is a leader or a warlock.

But there is no doubt that it is the most threatening one!

"Kobold [large group] (first order)."

"Challenge level 3, creature level 5, boss units and kobold warlocks may appear."

"The highest attribute is 17 points, the lowest attribute is 8 points, and the total attribute value is 60-75 points."

"Special expertise: natural armor, trap making, night vision ability."

"Challenge Difficulty: C+."

"Loot Level: +1 (Mining, Gathering.)"

The loot on the kobolds will have a bonus, because they have the habit of collecting shiny items. Of course, not all of them are Kindlers. It may be the gold sand and ore they dug up. Among the many materials collected by Sauron at the beginning, many monsters will have trophy bonuses according to their own habits, that is, monsters of the same level will receive a trophy that is one level higher in the end.

Goblins also like to collect, but unfortunately they often pick up some junk.

Slight rattling.

Sauron began to move his footsteps and circled to the bonfire from the side. He had to kill the dark red kobold first, and then the battle would be much easier this time. Challenge level 3 means that five professionals of about level 3 are needed to solve them relatively easily. Now it is not easy for Sauron to act alone. The point is not to be surrounded by them.

Shout out!

A crossbow arrow flew out.

The dark red kobold next to the bonfire let out a scream, and then the entire kennel was alarmed.

A sound similar to the barking of a puppy sounded. After the initial panic, the kobolds began to pick up weapons in a swarm to find the enemy. Soon they discovered Sauron with their strong night vision ability, and a group of kobold warriors roared. With a sound, he rushed towards him. Kobolds will always become 'brave' when they find that the number of enemies is far less than they are.

Sauron was not in a hurry to meet him.

He almost rolled to dodge immediately after shooting an arrow, and instantly filled with arrows in his original position. The short bow used by the kobold was not small.

The machete pierced through the cold light in his hand!

In just one encounter, two kobolds were disemboweled by Sauron, but also because of this momentary pause, a kobold rushed directly towards his leg, and opened his mouth to bite. sharp teeth.

boom!

Sauron twisted his waist and kicked out, kicking the kobold five meters away. He forcibly twisted and flashed a short sword, and then kicked the other kobold away.

Just thirty seconds.

Sauron killed six kobolds, but the thirty or so kobolds who gathered also rushed over. His leg was scratched by a short sword, but luckily only a little skin was cut. The arrow shot from the short bow hit Sauron, but it did not penetrate the leather armor, but instead killed a kobold next to him. The kobold warriors with the level of first-level warriors surrounded them. These creatures with a height of only about three feet were very troublesome. Every time they attacked, they slashed into Sauron's legs, so that he had to bend over to attack.

Kobolds master rolling skills, and they know how to take advantage of their size to roll and dodge.

- Moon Arc Slash.

There was no room to dodge the attacks coming from all directions. Sauron gritted his teeth and relied on the leather armor to resist twice, then grabbed the machete and twisted his waist abruptly.

Three kobolds fell, all dismembered.

But at this moment, the dark-red kobold who was initially shot by Sauron with the poisoned crossbow bolt stood up staggeringly. It made a strange syllable in its mouth, and then stretched out its palm and pushed it forward. A 60-degree fan-shaped flame spewed out. The first to bear the brunt was Sauron, the clothes on his body lit up all of a sudden, and then the kobold next to him was directly burned by the fire and screamed!

- "Burning Hand!"
