“As the Goblin King, greed is your nature, conquest is your desire!”
“Rule over everything, enjoy everything!”
A voice filled with Western fantasy translation style echoed in Lin Baici’s ears.
“This is your lair, your territory. Kill all the invaders, let the name of the Goblin King resound throughout the land, and make the world tremble.”
“Hidden quests are released. Kill all male humans and impregnate at least five female humans. Once achieved, you will immediately clear the ‘Escape from the Underground Dungeon’ and receive generous additional rewards!”
“What the hell?”
Lin Baici was stunned, mainly because this quest was too evil. Killing people was one thing, but making five women pregnant?
But thinking that ‘Goblins’ were fantasy monsters and belonged to the chaotic evil camp, it was not unreasonable to give such a task.
“Do you accept the quest? Please note that if you do not accept within three minutes, it will be considered as giving up!”
A countdown sounded in Lin Baici’s ears.
“No!”
Lin Baici directly refused. He couldn’t do such a thing as killing men and making women pregnant.
“Are you sure you want to give up the hidden quest?”
The voice asked.
“Sure!”
Although the voice of the crazy maid had no special features, it was still recognizable. This voice was the voice of the maid NPC.
“What a pity!”
The voice disappeared.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Some spears and arrows were shot, but they were knocked away by Lin Baici’s muscular body.
“It seems that only I can accept this quest because it corresponds to the card I drew. So, other people should have received corresponding quests too!”
“The Supreme Sword”
Lin Baici was worried that someone would accept such an evil quest, posing a threat to him and Xia Hongyao.
Orc! Orc!
The sound of goblins rang out. Taking advantage of the cover of smoke, they launched a charge.
“To the left, charge out!”
Lin Baici shouted.
The smoke was too obstructive, and suddenly, a dagger stabbed from Lin Baici’s right side, just piercing the flesh. At the same time, a flying stone hit.
Bang!
The goblin’s head shattered.
Lin Baici saw the true form of this thing.
Over one meter tall, it looked like a deformed dwarf. Its limbs were short and its body was weak, but its belly was large, like the unnatural bloating after eating Guanyin soil.
Their heads were small and shriveled, with sharp teeth. They kept making “orc” sounds, and saliva would flow out at this time.
Another one appeared beside Lin Baici, but this time, the muscular man took action and slapped it.
Bang!
The goblin’s head was smashed into minced meat, some of which splattered on Lin Baici’s body.
These monsters had dark green skin and only wore a piece of cloth around their waists. They had pointed ears and big eyes, and their weapons were clubs and daggers. They were not strong, but agile like rats.
“Where are you guys? I can’t see anyone!”
The woman in leather pants shouted anxiously.
She had lost track of them, but fortunately, there were many goblins, but their individual combat power was weak. Unless they hit a human’s vital point, they couldn’t achieve an instant kill.
The woman in leather pants swung her knife, but the goblin attacking her dodged and pounced forward, directly clinging to her, holding her arm, making it difficult for her to swing her knife easily.
Other goblins also rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, four or five of them hung on her, making her movements sluggish.
“Captain, cough!”
The woman in leather pants shouted and then started coughing violently.
The smoke was too choking, and it seemed to have a narcotic effect. The woman in leather pants felt dizzy, in pain, and dazed.
“Hold on!”
Lin Baici shouted.
The flying stones from the red clay mud man followed closely.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The walnut-sized stones hit the goblins on the woman in leather pants, causing them to scream in pain. Three of them even had their heads directly exploded, splattering brain matter all over the woman in leather pants.
The smoke blocked the red clay mud man’s vision, so it could only rely on sound to locate and attack. In order not to harm the woman in leather pants, it didn’t hit the heads of the two goblins close to her vital points, but chose to hit their bodies.
Fortunately, the woman in leather pants was not useless. After losing three goblins, she immediately exerted all her strength and fiercely attacked the two that were still alive.
Bang! Bang!
The goblins were knocked to the ground.
Although the old man was old and not agile enough, his strength was strong. The goblins that approached him were all killed. Xia Hongyao and the innkeeper were also stable.
The dwarf was a bit panicked and embarrassed. After all, he had explored the God’s Ruins only a few times, and his combat experience was too little.
What surprised Lin Baici was the performance of the bartender this time, which was surprisingly good.
It might be because the goblins were too weak for him.
The goblins were familiar with the terrain and knew where to go to intercept Lin Baici’s group from the front.
They frequently threw torches to create smoke, trying to trap Lin Baici and his group inside.
But their individual combat power was really weak.The muscular Buddha faced them, like a giant spirit beating up children in a kindergarten.
“If we can’t run away, then we’ll defend!”
Lin Baici chose the route for the breakout that he had just walked through, and he roughly remembered some of the terrain.
He saw that the goblins were constantly interfering, so he ran into a dead-end cave and had the muscular Buddha guard the only tunnel entrance.
This way, at least he could ensure that they wouldn’t be surrounded and killed by monsters.
“Cough! Cough!”
The dwarves kept coughing, their faces turning blue, their eyes reddened by the smoke, and their throats burning uncomfortably.
But they also knew that Lin Baici’s choice was correct. At least they didn’t have to be besieged now, only the discomfort of the smoke remained.
“Just hold on a little longer!”
Lin Baici took out a box of firecrackers and lit them with a pine torch, throwing them outside.
Bang! Bang!
Crackling!
Because the echo was loud in the cave tunnel, Lin Baici felt like his eardrums were about to burst, and the goblins were also uncomfortable, immediately reducing their attacks.
After the muscular Buddha killed three more, the monsters became quiet.
“Let’s go!”
Lin Baici immediately let the muscular Buddha take the lead and charge forward.
This time it was safe.
Lin Baici and the others ran around for more than ten minutes without encountering any more goblins.
“I… can’t go on!”
The dwarf stopped and gasped for breath.
When he stopped, the others also relaxed.
“Drink some water and rinse your mouth!”
Lin Baici took out bottled water and distributed it to everyone.
Xia Hongyao and Nangong Shu took off their gas masks because they didn’t get hurt by the goblins’ poisonous smoke.
“Captain, thanks to you this time!”
The woman in leather pants sincerely thanked him. If it weren’t for Lin Baici, she would probably be done for.
“If only we had grenades!”
Lin Baici sighed. He couldn’t get his hands on those things, so he could only make do with firecrackers.
To put it bluntly, he relied on the large grain storage of the black altar bowl. He had prepared ten gas canisters, let alone firecrackers.
But in the smoky situation just now, he didn’t dare to use them randomly. What if he blew himself up?
“Grenades are only useful for bullying small monsters!”
Nangong Shu, with more experience, shared with Lin Baici, “It’s better to get more Divine Taboos for defense. I noticed that you don’t have any defensive Divine Taboos.”
Lin Baici shrugged and took out a first aid kit to clean and bandage everyone’s wounds.
“What should we do next?”
The woman in leather pants rubbed her temples. This dim cave made her feel very depressed, and she wasn’t feeling well.
“Of course, we should deal with those goblins. We’ve suffered such a big loss, we should get it back, right?”
The bartender was angry, “If it were a boss, it would be fine, but what’s the point of showing off against some trash mobs?”
“Hehe, you’re so brave!”
The woman in leather pants sneered. When we were fighting the pig-headed people just now, I didn’t see you being so arrogant. Now you’re bullying the goblins, and you’re jumping for joy.
Chicken!
If you have the ability, be like Lin Baici and dare to draw your sword against anyone.
“Just like when we found the map fragments from the pig-headed people’s intestines just now, I think those goblins might have clues on them too!”
The bartender analyzed.
“He’s right. We have no clues now. Instead of wandering around, it’s better to go kill the goblins!”
Lin Baici also planned this way.
Xia Hongyao and Nangong Shu were better at dealing with wounds than Lin Baici. It took them fifteen minutes to bandage everyone.
“The smoke has dispersed, let’s go!”
Lin Baici took the lead and rushed towards the place where they were ambushed just now.
Along the way, they could see many goblin corpses. Those that didn’t even leave a complete body were killed by the muscular Buddha.
At the fork in the road, there were even more dead bodies.
The goblins obviously didn’t have the habit of collecting corpses.
“Spread out and look for the goblins’ traces, see where they came from?”
The bartender carried a bone-cutting knife and opened up a goblin’s body, squatting beside it, rummaging through its innards.
“No need to look, let’s go this way!”
Lin Baici walked towards the second tunnel on the right.
The old man looked at Lin Baici’s confident appearance and estimated that he must have some means that he didn’t know about.
“Damn, this is too strong!”
The old man envied him.
Lin Baici activated his Divine Sense of Taste and sniffed the scent left by the goblins, tracking them all the way.
This Divine Blessing was quite useful, making Lin Baici’s nose even more sensitive than a hunting dog, but the problem was that if it was a foul smell, it would be more disgusting.
Because he had to track, Lin Baici had an N95 mask on him, but he couldn’t use it.
After following Lin Baici for more than twenty minutes, everyone saw him stop.
“Hush!”
Lin Baici turned around and put his index finger in front of his lips, making a gesture for silence.
Everyone understood instantly, they probably reached the goblins’ lair.
As Lin Baici slowed down and walked forward for more than fifty meters, everyone heard the noise of the goblins.
“You guys wait here!”After Lin Baici told everyone not to move, he walked forward alone to investigate the enemy situation.
Soon, he crawled to the entrance of a tunnel.
Outside was a huge cave, inhabited by a large group of goblins, big and small. Lin Baici roughly counted and there were over a hundred of them.
Moreover, there were small caves within this cave, locked with wooden doors, probably used as bedrooms, prison cells, and storage rooms.
On the ground, there were some animal skins, scattered food remnants, and dark red scabs. In addition to the goblins’ smelly feet trampling around, the carpet emitted a strong stench.
In the middle of the cave, there were three piles of firewood, each with a large pot on top, cooking meat porridge.
A female goblin stood on a stool next to one of the pots, holding a long wooden stick and stirring the pot. It frequently reached into the pot, sticking to the meat porridge, and then licked it with its rough tongue.
Several young goblins were playing and running around with daggers. One of them didn’t pay attention and bumped into the stool.
Bang!
The female goblin’s body tilted and fell into the pot.
Ouch! Ouch!
The female goblin screamed in pain, and over a dozen male goblins nearby heard the commotion and immediately ran over to pull it out.
The goblin was scalded by the boiling meat porridge, its whole body turning red with blisters.
An old goblin took out a clay jar and took out some black ointment from it to apply on the female goblin’s body. Then, he had the tribe members carry it to the side and ignored it.
It’s time to eat.
The goblins knelt down and chanted prayers haphazardly. After praying to a certain deity, they swarmed towards the pot and started fighting for food.
The old goblin swung his cane and knocked around to maintain order.
“How is it?”
Xia Hongyao couldn’t wait and approached.
“Wait until they finish eating!”
Lin Baici was not in a hurry.
These goblins were often in a state of hunger, so they ate quickly. In less than three minutes, they finished the porridge.
Several greedy young goblins even jumped into the pot and licked the remnants on the pot walls.
Some goblins finished eating and lay down on the ground to sleep, but a few strong goblins entered a small cave.
Soon, cries and screams of women came from inside the cave.
“…”
Lin Baici felt that he couldn’t wait any longer. He had heard this kind of sound when watching adult movies.
Actually, it would be better to attack when those goblins were tired from playing, but there were some things that couldn’t be calculated so meticulously.
“Get ready!”
Lin Baici waved his hand, signaling everyone to come over!
“Let me go first!”
Nangong Shu activated Divine Grace and released a pink mist.
The mist floated over and was inhaled by the goblins. Their faces showed strange smiles as if they were having beautiful dreams.
Hypnosis initiated, Crimson Dreamland.
The goblins who hadn’t fallen asleep also began to feel drowsy. After about ten seconds, one by one, they fell to the ground and entered a deep sleep.
Nangong Shu’s Divine Grace took effect slower when the enemy was on guard, so it could only serve as a distraction.
“It’s time!”
Nangong Shu finished speaking, and the bartender rushed out first, holding a bone-cutting knife and slashing wildly at the goblins on the ground.
Splat! Splat!
The blade cut into flesh, and blood splattered.
“Awesome!”
The bartender was ecstatic and didn’t spare even the young goblins. One by one, he beheaded them all.
“Move faster!”
The old man urged.
Nangong Shu walked towards the cave where the strong goblins were, preparing to use his abilities, but the wooden door suddenly opened.
A goblin carried a naked woman out from inside and, upon seeing the situation outside, threw the woman towards Nangong Shu.
Ouch! Ouch!
The goblin screamed and pounced on Nangong Shu.
Bang!
The woman fell to the ground, motionless. It turned out that she was already a corpse.
Huh!
A bronze sword shot out, piercing through the left chest of the goblin.
Muscle Buddha appeared, standing at the entrance of the cave, continuously throwing punches like playing Whac-A-Mole.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The goblins that rushed out were all sent flying, with broken bones.
The bartender no longer killed the young goblins but instead rushed towards the heavily injured ones.
“Die, all of you!”
The bartender had a ferocious expression and hacked away, causing blood and flesh to fly.
These goblins were not strong; they relied on sneak attacks and various dirty tricks. Now, they were directly abused by Lin Baici and the other six people.
In just ten minutes, the battle was over.
The goblin nest was filled with corpses.
“Go search!”
Lin Baici ordered and walked towards one of the small caves, using the bronze sword to break the lock.
It was very dark inside, so Lin Baici used a torch to illuminate it.
The faces of a dozen human women appeared in his field of vision.
Fear, unease, and terror.
The women huddled together.
[These women are all livestock, used to give birth to young goblins and also serve as backup food!]
“Can you understand what I’m saying?”Lin Baici frowned deeply, “I’m here to rescue you!”
“Are you the hero sent by the Adventurer’s Guild?”
A young woman asked timidly.
“Yes!”
When Lin Baici played games or read comics, he would feel uncomfortable seeing some tragic plots. Now, this situation was too real, making him very upset.
However, he thought to himself that he was just a toy of a crazy maid.
At this moment, for the first time in his life, Lin Baici had the impulse to ‘devour’ that maid.
“Little Lin, come here!”
Xia Hongyao shouted.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Baici rushed over.
Inside a small cave, thick animal fur was spread out, and on it lay a dozen goblin babies, the largest of which could only crawl.
Everyone gathered around.
“What? You can’t do it? Then let me!”
The bartender walked in, even considerately closing the wooden door to spare everyone the discomfort of witnessing the slaughter.
“There’s no need to sympathize with these monsters!”
Nangong Shu pointed to a cave, “There are dried human corpses inside, obviously their food.”
“There are also women who have been captured!”
Lin Baici shook his head, this game was too dark, “Aunt Shu, you take care of it!”
“Take care of what? We are in the midst of rule pollution, you’re not treating them as humans, are you?”
The old man was speechless, even if they were real people, there was no need to care.
Lin Baici ignored the old man.
The women were all naked, and he didn’t go in to avoid suspicion.
Soon, Nangong Shu came out with a girl with flaxen hair, “Captain, she knows the way out!”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
The old man was impatient, “Leave the other burdens, just take this one!”
The flaxen-haired girl looked at the old man, then turned to Lin Baici with a sincere and somewhat pleading look, “I will only guide you if you take them with you!”
“Okay!”
Lin Baici had no intention of abandoning those women in the first place.
The group set off, the women couldn’t walk fast, greatly slowing down the team’s progress.
Lin Baici rubbed his nose, suddenly a faint stench drifted over.
“Be careful, the goblins are coming. When you see me charge, you charge too. Bartender, leather pants girl, you two stay behind to protect these women!”
Lin Baici arranged.
“Thank you, Captain, for your consideration!”
The girl in leather pants was grateful, she was injured and naturally wanted to rest a bit more.
“Captain, I can beat those goblins!”
The bartender was anxious, “Take me with you!”
“Okay, then magician, you stay!”
Lin Baici switched people.
The old man was upset when he heard this, “Why am I not the one staying behind?”
“I think you alone could slaughter all those goblins!”
Lin Baici chuckled, then walked another hundred meters or so before he suddenly roared.
“Attack!”
