Archer's Adventure Manual

"Don't rush, tell me slowly. Do you know the exact location of those goblins?" Lin Wen said slowly, slowing down his speech.

The woman, somewhat dazed, pondered for a long time before finally shaking her head. "I...I don't remember."

Noah sighed, "Let's continue to Fallingwood Village and settle this lady in. The harm goblins inflict on ordinary people is still too heavy."

Brian watched this scene, his ears gradually drooping.

The carriage continued on its way. The woman inside was very unstable, and when asked questions, she often gave irrelevant answers. The situation looked very bad.

"Goblins are extremely bullying and cowardly creatures, and they are also incredibly greedy. Driven by their biological instincts, they dare not attack the village guards, but instead abduct unarmed villagers from the shadows."

"And this situation becomes even more serious when a goblin shaman is born from the goblin community."

Noah gritted his teeth as he recounted the disgusting nature of goblins.

"Damn it, we have to teach these guys a lesson!" Lin Wen said indignantly.

"Calm down. We can't deal with the goblin shamans hiding in the shadows with just a few of us. We're here to carry out the mission based on the information we have," Loran said at the right moment.

Noah agreed, saying, "That's right. We must not act on emotion before we have concrete information. We just need to complete the mission we've been assigned. If we rashly venture into high-risk areas, our own safety may be threatened."

"Our own safety must be the top priority in any mission."

"Woof! Safety first!" Brian chimed in.

The carriage traveled very quickly, and even with a minor hiccup along the way, it arrived at Luolin Village in the second hour.

Loran and his companions could clearly see several guards patrolling around the village of Fallenwood. With these guards present, the goblins wouldn't be so arrogant.

However, this is not a temporary solution. There will always be gaps in the guards' duties, and the villagers also need to farm, which will also create gaps in their duties.

Goblins, in small groups, would swarm in at this moment, and the villagers, who had little ability to resist, would be kidnapped.

Loran and his companions entered the village and, after making some inquiries, met the village chief.

"Adventurers, thank goodness you've finally arrived!" The village chief, a middle-aged woman with dark skin, was overjoyed to see Loran and his companions.

"Hello, village chief, we are adventurers who have come on a mission. This is our mission request!" Lin Wen handed the mission request to the village chief so that he would know the purpose of their visit.

A village usually issues more than one task, so the village chief needs to confirm the content of the task assignment.

"Sigh, I'm afraid every village is facing some kind of trouble lately. The number of adventurers is limited, and the arrival of any adventurer team would be a great help to us," the village chief said with a sigh, as he checked the quest assignments.

"This quest was assigned to a location discovered by a ranger from our village. The number of goblins is estimated to be at least 30, and it has already formed a small camp."

"We are currently unable to allocate any extra manpower, so we have no choice but to ask you for help!" the village chief said with a slight bow.

"Hmm, leave it to us! By the way, village chief, this is someone we met on the way. Is she from your village?"

After saying that, Lin Wen took the woman out of the car.

The woman remained silent, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

The village chief was taken aback when she saw the woman. She carefully compared her appearance to her memory and finally confirmed, "She's from our village. Where did you find her?"

"She was being chased by several goblins when she happened to run into us, so we rescued her," Loran replied.

"Thank you. Her condition is a bit unstable right now, but we will take good care of her. We have a very good village doctor in our village who is confident that he can cure her completely."

After exchanging intelligence, Loran and his group began to formulate a plan and draw up a rough map.

While drawing a map, Lin Wen said, "According to the ranger's description, the goblins are stationed in a place surrounded by forests. The vegetation is dense and the visibility is obstructed. If we act rashly, we may be caught off guard by the goblins."

"So, before that, I need to scout out the situation and complete the sketch."

Loran continued, "After that, we'll choose a suitable location, lure the goblins out, and defeat them one by one."

"That's right. Facing about 40 goblins this way shouldn't be too much of a problem," Noah agreed.

After making some quick preparations, Loran and his companions headed towards the forest near the village.

As they traveled, Loran discovered that the rabbits around the village of Fallenwood were not overpopulated because many wild animals fed on them, keeping their numbers stable.

There are many flat and open areas around Luoxi Village. Wild animals might not even have a chance to catch a rabbit before the villagers report it and ask the adventurers to go and wipe them out.

The relatively dense forest served as a natural barrier for wild animals, so Loran and his companions were particularly cautious.

The most nervous of them all was Finita, as it was her first time on an adventure and she was completely unfamiliar with the wilderness environment, which made her very anxious.

After traveling for several tens of minutes, Loran and the others estimated that they should have reached a similar location, and Lin Wen began to move.

"Everyone wait for me where I am. I'm going to check where those goblins are," Lin Wen said before starting to move through the woods.

With Shadow Ambush, Lin Wen can stay in the Shadow Realm for a short time, even if it's only for 0.5 seconds, it's still a considerable means of survival.

Disappearing from the enemy's sight for 0.5 seconds is enough to create an opportunity for survival, and reconnaissance is naturally a given.

Lin Wen heard a noise as she crept through the woods, and the noise grew louder as she got closer to a few clumps of grass.

She gently parted a clump of grass and suddenly a relatively flat area appeared, where a campfire was set up, simple straw mats were laid out, and a simple watchtower was erected.

A few goblins on the watchtower were pretending to scout, while below, a dozen goblins were fast asleep with their rear ends sticking up. Besides these, there were many other places that could not be seen.

For example, they built dozens of thatched huts of various sizes, and the camp also had a cave behind it, the details of which Lin Wen didn't know...

Suddenly, Lin Wen's eyes widened as she noticed several goblins wielding sticks and forcing a few human men to work.

The men were covered in dried blood, their eyes lifeless, mechanically following the goblins' instructions.

Lin Wen gritted his teeth, but still calmed himself down, looked around to get a general idea of ​​the situation, and then quietly left.
