Soul echo

Chapter 237

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

This cave seems to be the only way for them to pass. Since he heard the movement of the goblins, they have been approaching here.

Hearing the reminder, Lilian tried to minimize the range of her movements without making too much noise, and got out of her sleeping bag.

A faint light shone into the entrance of the cave, and Lilian guessed that those goblins should be holding torches in their hands.

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

chap!chap!chap!
It was the sound of boots stepping on snowdrifts, and with the sound of footsteps, the fire was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave.

Lilian clenched the light sword tightly and crouched. With the faint light of fire reflected in the entrance of the cave, she spotted Zhong Ye from the corner of her vision. His teacher had already untied the big sword on his back at some point, and pressed his palm on it. On the handle of the straight knife.

Goblins don't squawk, which may seem odd, given their restless, chaotic nature that makes them inherently incapable of quieting down.

There were too many doubts about these goblins, no wonder Zhong Ye extinguished the fire before.

Suddenly, Zhong Ye moved.

His feet suddenly exerted force, like a cheetah, and his figure was vigorously rushing towards the entrance of the cave.

Lilian, who had been tense all the time, followed closely behind. Although she was not as fast as Zhong Ye, she reached the entrance of the cave when the goblins screamed for the first time.

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

With a twist of his wrist, he pulled out the straight knife from its sheath, and the cold light cut straight out, splitting a goblin's head into two halves.

"what!!!"

With the scream of the goblin, the upper part of the head of the corpse 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 forest at night woke up instantly.

After running out of the cave, Lilian saw the group of goblins pulling out their weapons one after another. Under the light of the fire, those weapons could reflect a cold light.

If you look again, you can see that the goblins are fully equipped, all wearing leather armor and long boots.

——Is this still a goblin? !
However, she was astonished as she was, Lilian rushed over and stabbed straight with her sword.

The few goblins who were walking at the end of the team immediately moved away from the main force. Zhong Ye frowned even more when he saw the crossbows they were holding in their hands.

Facing him, he dared to draw his sword. Not only did he not panic during the battle, but he was orderly, and he knew there was a "plan" at a glance.

These goblins don't look like ordinary villagers can repel them. Isn't this group of goblins the same group that attacked the village before?
Just when Zhong Ye's thoughts turned sharply, Lilian had already rushed in front of the goblin, stabbing out with the light sword in her hand.

The erratic path made the goblin in front of Lilian have no time to react, and could only roll backwards in embarrassment, but when it raised its head, it saw the sword suddenly thrown to the side, blocking the incoming attack and at the same time , and borrowed the strength of the attack to twist his wrist, and sent the tip of the sword into the attacker's neck, cutting that throat.

After a successful blow, Lilian tapped her toes and retreated, allowing another attacking slash to fall into the air.

At this time, Zhong Ye strode past her and took her place. With a big stride, his height was at the same level as the goblins. Then he swung his straight knife and saw a waning moon rising in the dark forest. Before the goblins had time to react, their heads flew up.

Lilian put her foot on the ground, curbed her retreat, rushed forward, rolled over Zhong Ye's back, and stabbed the light sword again.

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

Lilian took the opportunity to pull out the light sword, and slashed quickly before the flame of the torch was completely extinguished.

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

"Torches."

Lilian didn't think about it, and bent down to pick up the torch that fell in the snowdrift. The flame on it hadn't been extinguished, but it was already very weak.

At this moment, the sound of a bowstring twitching sounded 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, and the breath pours into every muscle, then pulls the corresponding fascia, twists the joints, and makes the body move.

The sharp knife light flickered in the forest, and every time it appeared, it would split a lasing arrow.

Swinging away all the arrows, he bent down on his knees, and his eyes were like lightning, jumping between several goblins holding bows and crossbows.

Bang!
The next moment, snow dust flew up suddenly.

Lilian dodged a long time ago, but she still couldn't avoid the rolling snow.

She raised her arms to cover her head, opened her eyes wide and tried hard to see Zhong Ye's movements, but unfortunately all she could see were the arcs of light jumping around Youlin.

"Clean up, we're going to act late at night."

Zhong Ye walked out of the darkness quickly, shook the blood off the knife, put the knife back into its sheath, then took the torch from Lilian's hand, entered the cave, and lit the fire again.

Hearing this, Lilian just wiped the weapon in a hurry, then ran into the cave to help Zhong Ye pack his things.

Now she can pack things proficiently. Compared with before, she could only stand aside and watch. It would be a waste of help to help, and she has improved a lot.

In just two or three minutes, they packed everything up.

After extinguishing the fire again, Zhong Ye set off with Lilian.

The equipment on those goblins is also worth a few cents. If he is not in a hurry, Zhong Ye will probably strip off their equipment, but now he wants to touch their lair while the traces of the goblins' activities have not disappeared.

There was snow on the ground, and the goblin had just passed by, so it naturally left traces.

They didn't expect that there would be enemies in this kind of place at this time, so they didn't clean up the footprints on purpose.

Holding a torch and walking into the forest, Zhong Ye and Lilian saw a bunch of messy footprints spreading deep into the forest.

"East..."

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

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

Now he is tracking the imprints left by the group of goblins, following the clues to find the past, and the doubts will be solved naturally, there is no need to think wildly and guess wildly.

Zhong Ye and Lilian quickly walked through the mountains and forests following the imprint.

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

Even if there are stones blocking the way, Lilian 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 rougher.

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 the secret whistle outside the valley.

The torch was already extinguished on the way they were walking, but Zhong Ye somehow didn't light the torch again, but walked in the dark in the forest.

As it turns out, his intuition once again helped him.

Hiding in a position quite far from the entrance of the valley, Zhong Ye closed his eyes, concentrated his attention, and sensed the breathing and heartbeat of those dark whistles.

After a few minutes, he turned around and picked up Lilian, and tiptoed away from the place.

Lilian covered her mouth in disbelief, for fear that she would cry out.

But she also knew that Zhong Ye absolutely didn't have that kind of thought, he was just afraid that she would make unnecessary noises when she was active.

Based on her understanding of Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye picked her up without saying hello to her just now, it must be because he couldn't make a sound or make any movement!
After walking on tiptoe for a few minutes, Zhong Ye put Lilian down and resumed normal walking speed.

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

——[Looking at Zhong Ye's reaction, he must have discovered something! 】

——[Yes, yes, yes!Lilian, ask quickly! 】

——【If you don't ask any more questions, you will be logged off! 】

Looking at these barrages, Lilian didn't speak.

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

"Those footprints point to that valley. I found a few dark sentries outside the valley, and according to my perception, if my guess is correct..."

Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Those secret whistles are human beings!"
