Chapter 72 Return
Chapter 72 Return
"Tell me slowly, what did you mean, 'came back'?"
Zi Yi looked at the goblin panting heavily and told it to slow down.
Li Mosi turned to make sure the prisoners were working well before approaching Zi Yi and waiting for the next word.
"Huh? Why isn't it singing anymore?"
Seeing that both the master and apprentice had turned their heads away, the two prisoners, who were originally regular employees, peered out.
They were somewhat curious.
Yesterday, that talking goblin was practicing like it was singing.
However, yesterday I was just practicing the same voice in different tones.
Today, the voices being spoken are completely different.
It sounds more like singing now.
It seems the carpenter taught him.
They didn't understand why they needed to teach goblins to sing.
It couldn't possibly be the magic we've heard about, could it?
Nearly half a minute later, the goblin finally caught its breath.
"Ahem. Chief, do you remember Big Eyes?"
"Remember."
Ziyi nodded.
How could he possibly forget?
That guy's eyes were noticeably bigger than other goblins'; he looked quite scary when he was a kid.
But in the previous tribe, he was the most skilled hunter.
In the nearby forest, no trace can escape its eyes!
At night, ordinary goblins can only see a short distance in front of them.
If you encounter any wild beast, there won't be enough time to run away.
But the distance that the big eye can see is much farther!
Zi Yi suddenly realized: "Big Eyes came back?"
His tone was clearly filled with excitement and anticipation.
Big Eyes previously led the hunting party for the leader. If it returns, the training team can engage in more practical combat!
Preparing food for winter is now much easier!
"Ah, yes. Not only that." The goblin nodded vigorously. "Big Eyes is back with a huge horde of goblins!"
what?
A large group?
That might not be good news.
Zi Yi grabbed the goblin's shoulder and turned it around: "Take me there."
"good!"
The goblin quickly ran to lead the way.
Li Moss asked, "What happened?"
Zi Yi glanced at the prisoners behind him and whispered, "Some of the goblins that had scattered have come back."
Finally, we have more manpower?
Li Mos casually tied the saintess to a nearby tree and strode forward: "Let's go, let's go take a look."
Zi Yi ran quickly to catch up with the goblin leading the way, while Li Mosi only needed to jog.
They soon reached the natural path at the foot of the mountain and saw once again the ground covered with pine tree trunks.
The goblin led them back to the place where they had once ambushed the slave-hunting team.
Although this place is no longer in use, the branches that were once piled up nearby were taken back to the tribe as reserve firewood.
But the goblins responsible for gathering still used it as a place to rest and eat lunch.
At this moment, the goblins here are divided into two groups.
One group sat in the middle of the road, wolfing down their food, while another group stood beside them, watching them wolf down their food.
"Slow down, these breads are hard, don't choke."
"Water—water gurgle! Thank you."
"It smells so good!"
The goblin leading the way shouted as it ran, "The leader is here! The leader is here!"
Many goblins turned around.
Many of the goblins who had been sitting on the ground wolfing down their food suddenly stood up.
"Humans?!"
"Why are there humans?!"
"Where are the humans?!"
The loud squeaking sound quickly spread, startling the goblins watching nearby.
"That's the new elder!"
"The elder told us to treat humans the same way we treated him!"
With the goblins on the sidelines offering their opinions, the matter was quickly clarified.
But Li Mosi couldn't understand; he just watched the goblins get up and sit down again.
Only one goblin came over with food.
This goblin has big eyes.
Compared to a regular goblin, it's like comparing a cat's eye to a human eye.
Below its large eyes were two very clear dark green patches.
It looks like dark circles under the eyes.
Big Eyes quickly walked up to Zi Yi and said, "Chief, we've been like this for the past few days..."
Zi Yi watched as it gripped Chen's bread tightly with both hands.
He waved his hand: "Don't rush to say anything, finish your food first."
"No, this time it's different!"
Big Eyes was so excited that the bread fell out of its mouth. It quickly bent down, picked it up, and put it in its palm.
It must report what it has seen over the past few days to the leader!
Five nights ago, or perhaps six nights ago, a group of humans suddenly appeared in the forest.
These humans are clearly different from the humans they once drove away.
They were tall and strong, and their weapons and clothes were all made of metal, which even shone in the sunlight!
There were more than fifty humans in the group, along with a dozen donkeys and two beasts even larger and stronger than donkeys, dressed in metal armor, that people could ride on!
Two humans dressed in metal suits sat atop the two towering beasts. Just a dozen breaths after they met, they were swept away like boulders rolling down a mountain in spring, completely obliterating their group!
The spears couldn't do any harm to them; they could only run!
As a result, the humans relentlessly pursued them, chasing them everywhere until nightfall.
Big Eyes initially tried to lead the goblins to a more dangerous place, just to get rid of these humans.
Instead of escaping humans, they ended up losing several companions to brown bears and wolves after entering an unfamiliar area.
Originally, there were more than a hundred goblins gathered, but now there are only sixty left.
It had no other choice but to run back to its familiar area.
This time, they ran for three days and three nights in a row, hoping to shake off those humans.
I almost took the wrong turn along the way.
Fortunately, they encountered an elder, which allowed them to get back on the right path.
But it doesn't know whether it has actually shaken off humans.
"These past few days..."
"Alright, don't be in such a hurry."
Zi Yi interrupted Da Yan again and walked up to him.
"I'll take you back to the tribe first, and you can tell me everything on the way."
Although Big Eyes still looked anxious, it remembered that Zi Yi was now the leader, so it had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Anyway, it's the same to talk about it on the way back.
Big Eyes turned around and walked back to deliver the message to the goblins who had been following it for several days.
Zi Yi then told Li Mosi about it.
Li Mosi nodded: "You did a good job."
No matter what happens, you can't let your heart break.
He used [Joyful Mountain and Water] to take a look while Zi Yi was speaking, and there were no traces of humans nearby.
The goblins were described as "extremely exhausted".
The unknown dangers are yet to come, but these goblins are already a ticking time bomb.
They must be brought back to normal first.
And now it's time to go back.
At Zi Yi's squeaking command, the goblins set off.
Li Mosi, Zi Yi, and Da Yan walked at the front of the group.
Zi Yi looked at Da Yan, who was still munching on old bread, and said, "Now you can tell me slowly."
"A group of humans are chasing us."
Big Eyes immediately dropped the most important information.
Seeing that Zi Yi didn't seem surprised at all, it asked with some doubt, "Leader, do you know anything?"
Zi Yi nodded: "I know there's another human group to the north. We've already captured a group of humans, and they're now our slaves."
