Soul Echo

"...come here." Zhong Ye said coldly.

This cave seems to be their only path, and since he heard the movement of the goblins, they are approaching this way.

Hearing the reminder, Lillian tried to reduce the range of her movements as much as possible, without making too much noise, she got out of the sleeping bag.

The faint rays of light reflected in the hole, and Lillian guessed that the goblins should have torches in their hands.

——These creatures from the foreign world are much smarter than trolls, at least they know how to make stone tools and torches.

Chuck! chap! chap!

It was the sound of boots stepping on the snowdrift, and with the sound of footsteps, the fire came closer and closer to the hole.

Lilian clenched her rapier and crouched down. With the faint light from the fire, she swept to Zhong Ye from the corner of her eye, and his teacher had already put the big sword on her back at some point in time. Unfastened, the palm pressed on the handle of the straight knife.

Goblins don't babble, which may seem odd, since their hyperactive and chaotic nature makes them inherently incapable of being quiet.

There are too many doubts about these goblins, no wonder Zhong Ye put out the fire directly before.

Suddenly, Zhong Ye moved.

His feet suddenly exerted force, like a cheetah, and swooped towards the hole with a vigorous body.

Lilian, who has been nervous all the time, followed closely from behind. Although the speed was not as fast as Zhong Ye, she also came to the hole when the goblins let out their first screams.

Facing Zhong Ye who suddenly jumped out of the cave, the group of colorful goblins looked panicked.

With a twist of the wrist, the straight knife was pulled out of the sheath, the cold light was cut straight, and the head of a goblin was split into two halves.

"Ah!!!"

With the goblin's scream, the upper part of the corpse's head was pushed up by the gushing blood, separated from the lower part, and slid to the ground.

The snow fell and the ice broke, and the mountains and forests at night woke up instantly.

Running out of the cave, Lillian saw the group of goblins draw their weapons one after another. Under the light of the fire, those weapons could reflect cold light.

Looking again, you can see that the goblins are fully equipped, wearing leather armor and boots.

——Is this still a goblin? !

However, astonished, Lillian rushed over and stabbed with her sword.

The goblins who were walking at the end of the team immediately moved away from the main force. Zhong Ye frowned when he saw the bow and crossbow in their hands.

In the face of him, he dared to draw his sword. Not only did he not panic during the battle, but he was orderly. At a glance, he knew that there was a 'plan'.

These goblins are not like ordinary villagers that can be repelled. Isn't this group of goblins the same group of goblins that attacked the village before?

Just as Zhong Ye's thoughts turned sharply, Lilian had already rushed to the front of the goblin, and the light sword was already thrust out in her hand.

The erratic path made the goblin in front of Lilian too late to react, and could only roll backwards in embarrassment, but when it lifted the head, it saw the sword suddenly threw away to the side. , while blocking the incoming attack, he also used the force of the attack to twist his wrist, sending the tip of the sword into the attacker's neck, cutting the throat.

Successful with one blow, Lilian tapped her toes and retreated, letting another attacking slash shoot down Sora.

At this moment, Zhong Ye strode past her and took her place, making a big stride to make his height equal to that of the goblins, and then he swung a straight knife and saw a waning moon. Rising up in the dark forest, several goblins didn't have time to react, and their heads flew together.

Lilian hit the ground with one foot, restraining her retreat, dashed forward suddenly, flipped over Zhong Ye's back, and stabbed the light sword again.

This sword directly pierced a goblin's head. The remaining goblins took advantage of Lilian's inability to draw their swords and wanted to counterattack, but Zhong Ye, who followed closely, knocked their weapons to the ground. .

Lillian took the opportunity to draw out her rapier and slashed quickly before the flame of the torch was completely extinguished.

Skin and muscles couldn't stop the steel at all, and in the end, the necks of the two goblins were also cut off. So far, all the melee goblins armed with swords died.

"Torches."

Lilian didn't think about it, and bent over to pick up the torches that had fallen in the snowdrift.

At this moment, there was a sound of bowstrings flicking in the forest in the distance. Several sounds overlapped and sounded almost simultaneously.

But before that, Zhong Ye took a deep breath and raised his eyes.

The heart beats, the blood rushes, the breath is injected into each muscle, and then the corresponding fascia is pulled, the joints are twisted, and the body moves.

Clear blade lights flicker in the woods, splitting a blazing arrow with each appearance.

Swinging away all the arrows, he bent his knees and leaned over, his eyes were like lightning, and he jumped between several goblins with bows and crossbows.

bang!

next moment, the snow dust suddenly flew up.

Lilian had dodged long ago, but she still couldn't avoid the snow.

She raised her arms to cover her head, widened her eyes and tried to see Zhong Ye's movements, but unfortunately all she could see were the arcs jumping in the secluded forest.

"Pack up, we're going to take action at night."

Zhong Ye walked out of the darkness, shook the blood from the knife, put the knife in its sheath, and took the fire from Lilian's hand Put, go into the cave, and light the fire again.

hearing this, Lilian just wiped her weapon hastily, and ran into the cave to help Zhong Ye pack up.

Now she can clean up items very skillfully. Compared to before, she can only stand by and watch. As long as she helps, it must be a waste, and she has improved a lot.

In just two 3 minutes, they packed everything.

The fire was extinguished again, and Zhong Ye set off with Lillian.

The equipment on those goblins is also worth a few cents. If there is no hurry, Zhong Ye will probably peel off their equipment, but now he wants to take advantage of the traces of the goblins' activities before they disappear, Touch their lair.

There is snow on the ground, and the goblin has just passed by, leaving traces naturally.

They totally didn't expect At this time, there will be enemies in this kind of place, so they haven't swept the footprints.

Walking into the forest with torches, Zhong Ye and Lilian saw a bunch of messy footprints spreading deep into the woods.

"East..."

The villagers were right, the goblins really came from the east, but what happened to these fully armed goblins?

This question only stayed in Zhong Ye's mind for a moment, then he left it behind.

Now he is tracking the traces left by the goblins, and he will follow the vine to find it, and his doubts will be solved naturally, without the need for random thinking and random guessing.

Zhong Ye and Lillian chased the footprints and quickly walked through the mountains and forests.

Although the [Breath Adjustment] skill cannot strengthen Lillian's physical ability, it can make her calm down and better control her body and distribute her physical strength.

Even if there are stones in the road ahead, Lillian can easily climb over with the help of Zhong Ye.

Therefore, the two climbed over two mountains in just one hour, and with Zhong Ye's care, Lilian's breathing only became a little heavier.

At this time, they also reached their destination.

What appeared in front of them was a valley, Zhong Ye didn't know what was inside the valley, but he found a dark whistle outside the valley.

The torches were extinguished long ago on the way they were walking, but Zhong Ye somehow did not light the torches again, but walked in the forest in the dark.

It turns out that his intuition is helping him again.

Hiding in a position quite far from the entrance of the valley, Zhong Ye closed his eyes, focused his attention, and sensed the breaths and heartbeats of those few whistles.

A few minutes later, he turned to pick up Lillian and tiptoed away from the place.

Lilian covered her mouth in disbelief, for fear of screaming.

But she also knew that Zhong Ye had absolutely no idea in that regard, she was just afraid of making unnecessary noises when she was moving.

Based on what she knew about Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye picked her up without saying hello just now. It must be because she couldn't make a sound and couldn't make any movement!

After walking on tiptoe for a few minutes, Zhong Ye put Lillian down and resumed her normal walking speed.

But at this time, Zhong Ye was still silent, and Lillian didn't dare to make too much noise or speak.

——[Looking at Zhong Ye's reaction, he must have found something! ]

——【Yes, yes! Lillian, please ask! ]

——【If you don’t ask again, you will be offline! ]

Lying at these barrages, Lilian did not speak.

She tried her best to calm down her excitement, and after a few minutes, when the audience was about to die, she asked in a low voice, "teacher, did you find something?"

"Those footprints point to the valley, I found a few dark whistles outside the valley, and based on perception, if I guess correctly..."

Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, said solemnly: "Those few A whistle, it's human!"
