Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

Just as the ghouls stepped into the range of the warning arrows, arrows inserted into the cracks in the rocks rose from the ground and flew towards the undead creatures, making a sharp explosion at the same time.

This sudden noise and attack not only caught the ghouls off guard, but also frightened the hill giant who was mining, causing the half-raised pickaxe in his hand to fall to the ground with a "bang".

I don't know if it hit his feet, but the roar of the giant was enough to make the deaf hear again. But this was a good thing, because his shouting just covered up the noise made by Ron's sudden alarm.

The five ghouls who came together were caught off guard. Before the giant could reach out to grab them, several undead creatures turned their heads tacitly and disappeared into the darkness in less than a few seconds.

"They went downstairs!" Driver closed his eyes tightly. His senses were connected to Dabai at this moment. He followed the ghouls who failed to steal the ore all the way down. "It seems that we were right not to show up directly. These guys were caught off guard and ran back to their nests!"

The environment of the mine was complicated. If these ghouls were running around like headless flies, Ron and his team would easily lose the target and might also alert the enemy. However, spells like the warning arrow would not give them time to react. In addition, Dabai was not easy to detect when tracking from the dark. Ron and his team were able to successfully find the nests of these "resurrected and reborn" ghouls.

No matter who it was, it was obvious that it would be impossible for the ghouls to steal ore alone. There must be other beings behind them.

"What I'm most worried about is that it will be related to the Abyss," Ron frowned, "Whether it's the ghouls or the Abyss Silver Ore, they all have the background of the Abyss, not to mention that there is an Abyss energy leak in the deepest fifth layer here."

"We have been destroying the demons a lot recently."

"There are many more demon lords in the Endless Abyss than the Grand Dukes in the Nine Hells. We may not provoke the same one," Sylvia "comforted", "and even if it is the same one, it may not live long. The power changes in the Abyss are much more frequent than those of the demons."

"It is said that a demon a long time ago slaughtered thirteen demon lords in order to obtain the power of the true gods. Their corpses floated in the Abyss and even formed a chain of islands," Victoria rolled her eyes, "Don't measure this group of chaotic beings with common sense. As long as they don't come to kill us now, it means that things are going in a good direction."

Victoria, who belongs to the lawful camp, certainly has some prejudice in her evaluation of the demons, but the chaotic camp itself has considerable uncertainty, so prejudice can be almost equal to no prejudice.

"But what if I say that there are demons involved?"

Driveddo, who was still maintaining his senses with Dabai, suddenly said this.

"What did you say?" The goblin hunter's words were very serious, and everyone was shocked, "How is this possible? Can ghouls mix with demons?!"

"Not really... no," Dreverddo hesitated, "Although the smell of sulfur is very similar to that of the Grand Duke, I don't understand, is it a special custom to wrap iron chains around your body and let the ghouls torture you with claws and whips?"

Occasionally, there will be a few such rebellious weirdos among the goblins, and during the days in the delusion land, Dreverddo also learned that some believers would please their gods by self-mutilation, so when he saw this scene through Dabai's eyes, his first reaction was to associate it with this.

But... do the creatures in Purgatory also believe in the gods in the usual sense?

"Oh, by the way, there are a few demons nearby - the kind we saw near the village, skinny and bony, with skin sticking to the surface like a layer of mucus. They all hold a wooden stick in their hands, with a stone tied to the end with a torn rope."

"Look at the luster... Damn, everything is gray in the mouse's vision, I can't see anything."

"You should stop going to the tavern to brag and drink with them in the future," Ivy slapped Driver on the back of his head in frustration, "Why do you think this is a custom? This is obviously a demon captured by a group of Babu demons, okay?!"

"Maybe this is why they steal the deep silver from here," Ron reached out and touched the exposed deep silver ore nearby, "Rurick said However, this thing is very effective against demons. But how did they get here? "

"There is no point in guessing here!" Sera couldn't wait any longer, and the barbarian picked up the Grasp of the Blue Wave and prepared to set off, "Driverdo, which floor are they on, the fourth or fifth floor?"

"The unfinished floor," Driverdo released the beast's perception and stood up from his hiding place, "Don't go down the road we went the first time, don't forget that it was pierced by the big guy. Those ghouls took another road."

The hill giant wanted to go with them, but his body size was really not suitable for a surprise attack. Ron could only calm him down for the time being, and promised that he would definitely deal with those thieves before going into the depths of the mine with his companions.

Compared to the unbearable stench of decay the last time I came here, the underground smell this time was slightly better. After all, after them, Seymour and others had cleaned up here before, and the dwarf blacksmith hired people to re-explore the area, and most of the rotten corpses had been cleaned up.

According to Driver, the newly appeared ghouls were only a few, not enough to form the scale of the previous ones.

"It's here," after turning around the corridor at the end of the fourth floor, Driver pointed to a gap in front of him that was big enough for two people to pass through at the same time. Below the hole, there were steps made of rubble. "These should have been dug out by the demons and ghouls. There are traces of nails on them."

"Don't jump down directly, it will definitely make a noise. Like me, lean half of your body down first..."

The goblin hunter hadn't finished speaking when he saw Ivy step down in one step, followed by Sera, Victoria, and Ron...

"That's you," Sera carried Driver down like a chicken, "We don't need to be so troublesome."

"Put me down! I can obviously get down by myself!" The goblin hunter kept struggling in Sera's hand.
