Chapter 12 Arrow Through the Heart
Chapter 12 Arrow Through the Heart
Realizing that the traces of wild boars under the surrounding trees were becoming fresher and denser, the strong goblin sensed something was wrong, and his posture gradually became unnatural.
Its spear can travel half the distance of most goblins.
In this respect alone, they are definitely the strongest in the tribe.
Even during the tribe's heyday, this was true.
But it also can't hunt wild boars!
In his youthful vigor, the strong goblin had certainly tried it.
As a result, it was chased all over the place, and several of the goblins that went hunting with it died.
Is this time the old man trying to kill me?
But if the old man really wanted to take action, he wouldn't need to find an excuse.
The strong goblin was puzzled and kept looking back as he walked.
At the very back of the procession, the elder's and the leader's children were watching the procession closely, while the human was pointing to the road.
The elder turned to look at it and slightly raised the wooden staff in his hand.
"Boss, there seems to be a wild boar around here?"
The younger brother spoke up to remind him, and the strong goblin turned his head back.
"Follow me."
The strong goblin gave the order without saying anything more.
But as more and more traces appeared around them, every goblin realized that the surroundings were becoming dangerous.
"You can prepare your weapons now. They're just a short distance ahead."
Li Mosi pointed to a spot not far ahead of the group.
At this moment, they had already walked from the mountainside where the tribe was located to the forest below.
The soil here is clearly more fertile than on the mountain, but judging from the fallen trees and boulders everywhere, the natural environment here is more dangerous than on the mountain.
In Li Mosi's eyes, the guidance changed from highlighting the road to providing road signs plus a general assessment.
[Target Status: Alone, Adult, Injured]
[Target distance: Approximately 300 meters]
[Target Behavior: Infiltration]
Originally, there was only a path, but as more environmental information came into his view, the intelligence gradually became more detailed.
This gave Li Mosi more confidence, but also made her more vigilant.
Wild boars, being adults, solitary, and injured, practically have their combat buffs maxed out.
And they're still lurking in broad daylight; they're definitely planning something big.
The old goblin nodded and shouted to the group ahead, "Good prey is ahead! Prepare your weapons! Split up and fight!"
Zi Yi also took out hunting arrows and nocked them on his bow.
Li Moss said to him, "This is a solitary adult. It's injured. You'll be following my instructions."
Zi Yi's eyes immediately turned serious: "Yes, Master."
Ahead, the goblin henchman also approached the strong goblin and spoke.
"Boss, what is that human talking about? A lone adult guy, and he's injured."
The burly goblin's expression instantly tightened, and he ordered all his minions, "Watch your surroundings! Don't get attacked by wild beasts!"
"OK!"
"Yes, boss!"
The goblins chirped in agreement, and another ball of light appeared in Li Mosi's eyes.
The ball of light was in the bushes on the left ahead.
Suddenly, one side of the ball of light rose up and then began to wriggle and contract.
Li Mosi's eyes widened.
through!
He bowed his head and said to his disciple, "Ziyi, you come with me."
The wild boar is definitely in this area.
The strong goblin was very certain of his judgment.
Judging from the human who was leading the way, it seemed to be an injured wild boar.
These creatures are extremely cunning; they will hide all around and ambush you when you're not looking!
But there were broken trees, boulders that had rolled down, and bushes all around.
The environment is extremely complex!
The strong goblin's hands were sweating; it was wondering whether it should just run away.
But just then, it saw the human leading the way and the leader's child rush out from the right side of the group.
Only the old man remained at the back of the line.
Upon noticing the change, the goblins split into nearby formations, remaining alert to their surroundings.
"Shoot here!"
Li Mosi had looked at the map provided by [Leshanshui] and found a boulder in the front right of the team. He led Ziyi up to take up a favorable position, and then a wild boar peeked out from the bushes.
At this moment, he crouched down to the same height as Zi Yi, extending his short spear to guide him to the target.
[Target distance: Approximately 15 meters]
"Yes, Master."
Zi Yi stood on top of the boulder and barely managed to assume an archery stance.
call out--
Under the watchful eyes of all the goblins, an arrow shot out from the upper right of the group and embedded itself in the bushes to the left front of the group.
"snort!"
A piercing squeal rang out, startling most of the goblins.
Some have already begun to turn around.
But the old goblin at the very back of the group raised his staff and shouted, "Don't back down! Hunt!"
None of the goblins have the right to quit.
In particular, wild boars have already emerged.
Judging from its appearance, this is an adult male wild boar!
Its body was thick and strong, weighing at least three or four hundred pounds, and its two giant teeth were even larger than the dagger at Li Mosi's waist.
A goblin that gets hit by the top is doomed!
"Hmph—Hmph!"
It charged toward the goblin group while howling, with an arrow stuck in its back.
The arrow was embedded quite deep, but Li Mosi felt the position was not good.
But the goblins had never seen anything inserted so deeply!
"spread!"
Zi Yi stood on the boulder and gave orders to the dumbfounded goblins, and the small teams finally dispersed.
The strong goblin at the front of the group threw its stone spear with all its might, then ran to the right, with its two squads of minions quickly following.
The stone spear swept through the air, half of its tip embedding itself in the wild boar's back.
It's not very powerful, but it does go quite far.
According to Li Mosi's visual estimation, there are at least fifteen steps.
This is half again as far as a normal goblin spear throw!
He's truly a genius when placed among goblins.
Even so, they are still far weaker than humans.
Strength alone won't do.
What followed was a brief period of chaotic fighting.
The timid goblins threw down their spears and ran away, using their sheer numbers to transform the wild boars into porcupines.
All of them were superficial injuries.
The wild boars didn't stop.
The bolder goblins, after realizing what was happening, took the initiative to chase after the wild boar and throw spears.
"Hmph! Hmph—!"
These spears pierced the wild boar's hindquarters and rump, finally causing some effective damage.
The strong goblin glanced at Zi Yi and Li Mosi on the boulder and shouted to his underlings, "Lure it over here!"
Zi Yi turned to look at the strong goblin behind him and said to Li Mosi, "That guy is going to lure the wild boar over here."
Li Mosi remained calm: "That's perfect."
After the wild boar ran away, he really couldn't find the right angle to shoot.
Soon, the wild boar was attracted by the strong goblin's henchmen.
"Hmph—hmph—!"
The wild boar's entire back and rump were covered in thorns, making it look like a hedgehog.
There's nowhere left to shoot arrows!
Zi Yi hesitated, afraid to move. "Master, what should we do?"
Li Mosi pointed at the wild boar and said, "Look."
In the blink of an eye, the wild boar's target changed to a strong goblin.
Meanwhile, the strong goblin is leading the wild boar toward the location of the boulder!
"Draw your bow, and follow my spear."
Li Mosi's calm voice reached Zi Yi's ears, and Zi Yi did as she was told.
The strong goblin used a serpentine movement to weave itself around the tree trunk, preventing the wild boar from catching it.
As it turned, the wild boar's body shifted to the side.
[Target distance: Approximately seven meters]
"shoot!"
call out--
Zi Yi released the bowstring, and the arrow shot out.
It disappeared into the wild boar's side, with only a section of the arrow protruding from the ground.
[Target Status: Alone, Adult, Heart Injury]
Arrow through the heart!
