41. Kobold Gathering Place

The fog is thick, although it is not so indistinguishable that there is no inch of land, but the limit is only four or five meters, and even the figure cannot be seen clearly no matter how far away, let alone others.

Sean's team had been walking in the fog for more than an hour, but no one in the team had complained even once. Their march was quiet and steady, and everyone maintained a state of mind that was fully focused, because in the fog any situation could occur, they could not relax their vigilance, of course, the mental load was actually quite large, but fortunately, everyone was a veteran, and it would not be too much trouble.

In this fog of the Starfall Forest, the sense of direction is very disturbed, and although there is no spatial distortion, it can indeed be lost if you are not careful. The general method of identifying the direction, or the way of making a mark, is useless in this fog, and can only use a special magic prop called Traction Dust, but this kind of magic prop also has a limit to use, that is, if you go too deep into the fog, it will have no effect.

The kobolds' camp was set up in a very clever location - it wasn't particularly deep, but it was well hidden.

Suddenly, the thief who was scouting his way ahead suddenly raised a hand, and the team immediately stopped.

"Did you find it?" Sean asked softly.

"Yes." The thief nodded.

Sean walked briskly forward, and as Sean got closer and closer to the thief, some black shadows began to appear in the fog in front of him. These shadows were not alone, but were arranged in a row, and Sean knew at a glance that this was the wooden wall of the kobold camp, but these walls were built in the form of a normal human defense base, so the height was at least more than four meters.

Sean nodded, then motioned for the men behind to follow, and the line began to line up along the wooden walls.

After a while, everyone saw a figure about a meter tall in the fog in front of them, seemingly holding a spear in his hand, which was obviously a kobold guard. However, Sean did not give the order to attack, and of course everyone would not rush forward, they all looked at Sean and waited for Sean's next order.

"Don't worry." Sean didn't dare to speak, just made a gesture.

This fog in the Starfall Forest can only block the sight, but the sound is not blocked, and the kobold's sense of hearing is relatively keen, and at a distance where the figure can already be seen, any sound will cause the kobold's reaction. Moreover, this gathering place has just been beaten by the people of the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce, and now this camp must be in a state of extreme alert, and Sean doesn't want to fight all the kobolds in the entire camp.

Sean waved his hand, and the thief nodded in understanding, and the team began to retreat, leaving only the thief alone.

It didn't take long for the thief to slowly begin to step back, and then at a reasonable distance, he laid a trap trap, and then crouched down and began to gently pound the iron weapon he carried with him. The sound of his tapping was very regular, and it was tapping little by little, making sure that the sound only traveled within a very small range, and then he waited a few seconds before he began to tap the iron and began to retreat.

And at this time, Sean and the others had already begun to disperse around.

The distance between them was not too far, just about six meters away from the place where the thief had just laid the trap, this distance was exactly the limit of what could be observed in the mist, and this extreme position could only be reached in about a second for the third-order powerhouses, and there would be no other effects at all. And the signal for them to attack was the moment when Sean attacked. …,

There is a slight sense of strangeness to the sound of the iron hammering, which can easily cause some annoyance to others, as long as it is effective for humanoids.

This is a lure skill unique to thieves.

As Sean had guessed, not far ahead, several figures appeared.

These figures are no more than a meter tall, and they are all holding long weapons such as spears and spears in their hands, which is still relatively easy to distinguish from the dark shadows. Judging from the movement speed of the black shadows, they are still extremely vigilant, and Sean estimates that it should be because he has just led people through here, so there are still some of their smells left, after all, in addition to hearing sensitively, kobolds are also sensitive to smell.

Suppressing his heart's desire to forcibly kill, Sean began to wait quietly like a hunter for his prey to take the bait. He glanced back at the others, and only one spearman could be seen in his position, and Cecilia was still with him, but she was not a candidate for this assault, after all, a magic apprentice was not of much use in such a place where quick combat was required.

Sean's eyes have been fixed on the place where the thief had laid the trap just now, and he has made a simple cover-up, and this simple cover-up effect will definitely not be tricked if it is outside, even in an ordinary forest. But in this fog, this cover is enough, not to mention the lure and interference created by the thieves on the side, which is enough to attract the attention of these kobolds.

"Smack!"

A kobold finally stepped on the trap, and the sound of the trap closing was a deafening illusion in the area.

This is a special beast trap, its sharp angles are sharpened to an extremely sharp point, and its bite force is equivalent to a standard third-order wolf-type demonic beast, even if a fourth-order powerhouse known for its physical strength accidentally steps on this kind of trap, it will definitely be very seriously injured. And the kobold, who has never been known for his physical strength, was bitten off on the spot by the action of this trap.

The sudden pain caused it to open its mouth and want to let out a scream, but its mouth was open, but it only made a babbling hoarse sound, and there was no screaming at all. Immediately afterward, its consciousness felt that its throat was also injured, but because the pain of the trap was so strong that its consciousness in all aspects had been infinitely stretched, it was impossible to accurately judge anything.

The next second, it felt a strong wind blowing towards it, but by this time its head was already spinning in midair.

Sprint.

This has almost become Sean's fixed way of shooting. Only this time his sprint was not interrupted, but a precise surprise attack that calculated the distance, and the long sword in his hand directly pierced the kobold's throat under the acceleration of the sprint, and then completely decapitated it with a single swing.

The attack came so suddenly.

Any living being, in the face of a sudden situation, will have a buffer period to react, which is true whether it is a Warcraft, a beast, a human, or a humanoid. The only difference is that trained humans and humanoids will have a very short reaction time, about a second, while the more timid beasts will not need to react at all, and will flee as soon as possible.

It's just obvious that none of these kobolds are specially trained existences.

And Sean couldn't give them any time to react, and after the lightning attack, Sean's second sword had already slashed at the kobold closest to him.

The sword light flashed, and the second kobold immediately followed in the footsteps of the first kobold, but compared to the one who stepped on the trap, it was much luckier. …,

At this time, the kobolds finally reacted.

But it was too late.

Aners and the others had already rushed up, and the spearman closest to Sean had pierced the kobold's body with a single shot, pinning it to the wooden wall, followed by a sword that grazed its throat. The only two remaining kobolds were also concocted by two swordsmen and another spearman in accordance with the law, and all of them directly slit their throats, so that they could not make a sound.

This point was specially explained by Sean before the battle.

A short but intense encounter, with a perfect victory with the attack of Sean and others.

When the others regrouped, Sean stopped examining the bodies of the kobolds.

Kobold Guard is a second-order class, which is considered a relatively common class in the kobold race. Generally speaking, the normal defense work of camps, tribes and the like is the responsibility of this kind of kobolds, they do not have particularly outstanding combat effectiveness, but they are still more threatening when they gather in groups, and under normal circumstances, it is a squad of three to five, and the number will be doubled in special periods or places where it is more important.

At the moment, there are only five of these kobolds guarding.

It stands to reason that the camp has just been attacked by the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce, and now it will definitely increase the number of guards, but the number of guards is so standardized, Sean understood in an instant, the kobold in the camp is afraid that there are not many kobolds left, if this is really the case, then it is also a good choice to completely destroy this camp, rather than forcing the kobolds to flee in all directions by killing the leader!

After all, Sean didn't want to slaughter the entire kobold gathering place before, first, he was afraid of wasting time, and second, the kobold in this copy had nearly two-thirds less experience than the normal second-order monsters, but if he had the ability to slaughter, gathering less into more was also a good choice.

In an instant, Sean had already made a new decision: "Let's solve the three main goals first, and then go back and solve the remaining kobolds." ”

======== dividing line ========

I was wrong! I'm guilty!

A belated update! But better late than never, right?
