An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 54 Moon Shelter
Not long after leaving the location of Naoduo, a tall wall made of rocks came into view, built on a higher hill.
Through the lush branches and leaves of the big trees, you can vaguely see the houses behind the fence.

Seeing this, they walked along the mountain and soon found the entrance gate.

Then, there was a spacious road. After comparison, everyone agreed that this road could lead to the green woodland.

Everyone had passed by before, but unfortunately they were forced to jump off the cliff by a large group of jackals...

Otherwise, they would be here before noon. But now, they can only lament that things are unpredictable and have taken a long detour.

"Look! There are so many corpses!"

Suddenly Gale pointed to the road dozens of meters away and exclaimed loudly.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Hearing this, Ma Long strode forward and approached quickly with his new weapon, while his companions followed closely behind, silently following the captain.

Beside a stone bridge, more than a dozen corpses were lying quietly on the ground. The blood had long dried up, and there were many flies and unknown insects.

Large numbers gather here.

The dead are divided into two groups, one is the goblins, and the other is judged by their clothing.

Look like an adventurer, not a traveler.

"Let's search it."

Ma Long still had no intention of letting go of these corpses. After all, the people were already dead, and the things they carried would be a waste if they didn't pick them up.

After two minutes, everyone gained a lot.

Gale found a magic scroll on the body of a robed spellcaster. It is not yet known what was written in it.
Shadow Heart and Weir found a lot of dry food supplies. They already have a lot now.

The total weight was beyond imagination, but the strong Karak said it was a piece of cake and he could just leave it all to him~

In addition to dry food, there are also several small bottles of red potion, which is specially used to treat trauma.

It is a must-have item when going out.

After all, not every adventurer group can recruit special people like priests. To some extent, they are even rarer than paladins!
As for Malone and Asteron, they were on the corpse of a goblin.

Found an animal hide with a scrawled design on it.

It shows three stick figures with crowns on their heads, who, judging from their height and depicted form, are goblins, some sort of tall humanoid creature, and an elf.

"Everyone! Come here, I've discovered something."

Seeing this, Ma Long immediately called everyone to come and take a look. Based on the animal skin with the picture on it, he "boldly speculated" that the three people painted on it were,
It must be related to Sefro's mention of the "mysterious" leader of the goblin lair.

I told my friends about this idea. Everyone's reaction was different. After all, the authenticity needs to be verified, but everyone had the same idea and goal.
That's the goblin lair, you have to go!
Not only for the tiefling refugees in the woodland, but also for themselves.

After searching for the corpse, Ma Long and others followed the road to the gate of the wall. Next to it stood a sign introducing where this place was.

"Moon Sanctuary, it seems we are not far from the temple of Selune, the goddess of the moon."

After reading the words written on the sign, Gale touched his chin and made his guess.

Usually, near the temples dedicated to gods, there will be villages or settlements established by their followers, which are convenient for worship and daily prayers.
It just so happens that this place is also called: Moon Sanctuary, and the answer is obvious.

"...the old witch of the moon."

Ying Xin frowned and muttered something in a small voice that only she could hear.

"Watch your surroundings and stay alert."

As a solemn reminder, Ma Long took the lead and stepped through the door into the Moon Sanctuary. As soon as he entered, he found that the place was much larger than he had imagined. Houses stood neatly on both sides of the bluestone road.
However, this place has been looted! There is a mess everywhere!
Not only was there no human figure, every house was damaged to varying degrees.
The entire settlement was eerily silent.

Because the environment was too unsettling, everyone was at full alert, holding weapons tightly in their hands, ready to fight at any time...

At the next moment, a sharp cry came:
"Surround them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless short goblins rushed out from the houses on both sides and appeared! There were even archers taking aim on the rooftops.

In just one deep breath, Ma Long and others were surrounded by goblins.
Seeing this situation, Shadow Heart, Weir and Karak subconsciously protected the weak Gale and Asteron back to back.
Coupled with Ma Long at the front, the four of them formed a square formation to face the enemy!

Although there are archers taking aim overhead, at least this formation can ensure that the people standing in the middle are absolutely safe around them.

"Damn it! It's over now..."

Looking around, he saw all the figures of goblins. Asteron looked horrified.
Unable to control one's own emotional ups and downs.

When you encountered gnolls before, you could at least run away. Now you are surrounded by a large number of goblins and want to break out? It's not simple.

At the same time, Gale was also a little scared,
But it was not as exaggerated as the former, but he quickly thought of a solution in his mind.

The four people standing outside looked solemn. The amount was too much. Looking at it, it could be at least seventy, eighty or even hundreds!

A single or a small number of goblins is nothing to fear, but once it exceeds the normal range,
With just a few of them, there is no way they can withstand it...

"Ugh!"

Karak suddenly let out a deafening roar, frightening the goblins who wanted to get closer and took a few steps back.

The tall and burly body is extremely intimidating!
But after all, there are so many goblins that being scared away does not mean that they really dare not fight.
After all, too many ants can kill an elephant.

"Brothers and sisters, look! Another lost little piglet has come to our door."

At this time, a male goblin squeezed out from the dense crowd of similar people, carrying a big ax higher than himself, and said in a joking tone.

He walked straight to Ma Long and stopped, raised his head with an arrogant look on his face, and pointed at the ground:

"Kneel down, I'm only going to say this once, or I'll chop off both of your legs."

As soon as this statement came out, all the goblins immediately cheered and cheered loudly.

"Okay! Chop him up quickly!"

"Oh yeah! I want to see them bleed!"

But at this moment, Ma Long and his companions saw something unusual in their eyes. Most of the goblins had, around their eye sockets,
It was as if some kind of mark was flickering, and at the same time the bugs in their brains,
He also became very excited and started to move around again.

"what!"

In an instant, Astelon held her forehead and let out a painful cry, followed closely by Gale, and then everyone got a splitting headache one after another!

I want to smash my head open.

Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly. Everyone relaxed and clenched their teeth, opened their eyes again, and then saw a puzzling scene...

The goblins who were clamoring just now all hunched over and put away their weapons.
He showed a flattering smile and kept backing away nervously.

The same is true for the one in front of Ma Long.

"...True, true soul master!"

　Thanks for the 10,000 reward from the must-see orange cat brothers every day!
