The demon monk in the second dimension

Chapter 14 Elves, Dwarves, and Lizardmen

"Ho ho!"

"Lulu!"

The two goblins loosened their grip, and the large rock they were holding fell to the side.

They clutched their throats, spitting out blood and foam as they collapsed to the ground.

"Ka!"

A goblin wielding a wooden club charged towards Xia Zhi.

And then there was the goblin who had been running away all along, now unarmed, leaping high into the air.

He opened his foul-smelling mouth and lunged at Xia Zhi, trying to tear his throat open with his teeth.

But the speed of ordinary goblins is too slow.

To Xia Zhi, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, this was simply a matter of moving his left and right hands in slow motion!

He kicked the goblin with the wooden stick away, deliberately holding back his strength so as not to kill him.

The goblin was kicked several meters away, and with a crack, two of its ribs broke.

He rolled on the ground, sustaining multiple abrasions.

“Gigi!”

The goblin cried out in pain twice, clutched its chest, and staggered away.

At the same time, Xia Zhi grabbed the foot of the goblin that had jumped up.

Once separated from the earth, goblins have no room to hide.

Grabbing one of its feet, Xia Zhi slammed the goblin hard onto the ground.

boom!

It was only because of the heavy rain yesterday that the forest ground was soft and didn't kill the goblin on the spot.

His body stiffened, his mind went blank from the excruciating pain, and he could only instinctively let out a scream.

With lightning speed, Xia Zhi drew a wooden arrow from his quiver and pierced the goblin's heart, pinning him to the ground.

Foul-smelling blood gushed from his heart, staining Xia Zhi's leather armor crimson.

His fierce demeanor frightened the other goblins.

Two more goblins had just run out of the forest when they saw Xia Zhi, who looked like a god or a demon, and they turned and ran away screaming.

Summer Solstice has no intention of letting them off the hook.

He grabbed the bone bow with his left hand and then shot down two goblins that hadn't even run a few meters away with two swift arrows.

Then, Xia Zhi chased after the goblin whose ribs he had broken.

When an animal is injured, its first instinct is to return to its den.

Because in their minds, their own nest is the safest place.

Goblins are no exception.

Following the terrified goblin, Xia Zhi found a wooden house.

This must be a makeshift hut built by a hunter. It looks very simple, just made of planks and thatch, a place that can shelter you from the wind and rain for a short time.

But now, this hut has become a goblin's lair.

Hearing their companion's screams, two more goblins emerged from the cabin.

Through the open door, Xia Zhi saw the two goblins making a fire inside.

Now that they had found the goblin's lair, Xia Zhi had no intention of letting the goblin go.

He drew his bow again and fired three arrows in quick succession, killing all three goblins.

Afterwards, Xia Zhi looked around again but did not find any other goblins.

He dragged all the goblin corpses over and counted them; there were exactly 10 goblins here.

"Barely suitable."

Xia Zhi nodded, threw the goblin's corpse into the hut, and then poured her true energy into the bone short sword.

Click!Click!

He held aloft a short sword so sharp it could easily cut through steel, and with a few swings, he chopped down the load-bearing pillars of the wooden hut, destroying it.

Then, he chopped down several trees as thick as a thigh and used them to weigh down the damaged hut, preventing the goblin's carcass from being carried away by wild animals.

Finally, Xia Zhi took out her portable map, recorded the location, and then wrote the character "木" (wood).

……

After handling the aftermath, Xia Zhi returned to the Adventurers' Guild to turn in the quest.

He had just pushed open the door when he found three unexpected yet perfectly logical figures in front of the counter.

That was an extremely eye-catching combination.

A beautiful high elf girl with green hair, green clothes, and an exquisite elven longbow on her back, with long ears and a thin chest.

A robust dwarf with white hair and beard, wearing a white robe, a gourd of wine and a hand axe hanging at his waist.

A lizardman monk who is two meters tall, has a strange appearance, and a long, blue tail.

So, shall we begin?

"Goblin Slayer, you're back!"

Bathed in the smile of the receptionist, he walked to the counter and nodded slightly.

"Mission accomplished."

“Okay! Although according to the rules someone should go and check, Goblin Slayer-san will definitely be fine!”

The saleswoman smiled and drew a checkmark to indicate that the task was completed, and then handed over the reward for completing the task to Xia Zhi.

Then, she gestured to Xia Zhi.

"Goblin Slayer, these three silver-ranked adventurers are here to see you."

Xia Zhi turned her head and looked at the three people who had also formed a temporary team.

"Is it a request about goblins?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi asked so directly, and the elven archer nodded subconsciously.

"Yes."

Xia Zhi then asked.

"How many are there? Where are they located? Are there any shaman or goblin heroes?"

"Ugh?"

The elven archer looked completely bewildered.

What do you mean?

Are there really so many different kinds of goblins?

Seeing that the group seemed to have a lot to say, the saleswoman suggested...

"Goblin Slayer San and a few other adventurers, let's talk in the reception room on the second floor!"

……

In the Adventurers' Guild's reception room, Xia Zhi learned why the three had come to her.

Because the Demon King recently launched a great war with his demon army, leaders of various races, including the human king, the dwarf king, the elf queen, and the lizardman leader, have gathered in the human capital to discuss the war.

Otherwise, adventurers from three different races wouldn't have coincidentally gathered together.

At this time, a sizable goblin tribe appeared on the border between the elven forest and the human kingdom.

The human kingdoms refused to send troops to quell the rebellion, and the elves, due to territorial reasons, were also reluctant to let their legions take action.

Therefore, they decided to send an adventurer team to clear out these goblins.

This adventurer party is composed entirely of silver-rank adventurers, including elves, dwarves, and lizardmen.

Considering that the goblin lair is located in the human kingdom, it is best to have at least one human in the adventurer's party.

They had heard of the "Goblin Slayer" and came to him specifically to seek him out.

After listening to the three people's stories, Xia Zhi also introduced the goblin hierarchy.

"Among goblins, there is a higher hierarchy in addition to ordinary goblins."

"There are big goblins as henchmen, goblin shamans as leaders, goblin heroes who can lead large goblin tribes and whose strength is equivalent to that of trolls, and goblin kings whose status is equivalent to that of platinum-level adventurers among goblins and whose leadership abilities have been enhanced."

"Under the leadership of a goblin hero or goblin king, goblins may even build houses, raise wild beasts, and train wolf riders."

"The Goblin Hero and the Goblin King also possess a certain level of legion command ability. If attacked unexpectedly, even a small town could fall."

Chapter 15 Goblins in the Ruins

"So there are so many types of goblins? And some goblins are even comparable to trolls?"

"Do goblins also have kings?"

The fairy archer and the dwarf sorcerer were completely bewildered.

The lizardman monks, on the other hand, looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

"With shamans as spellcasters, cavalry, and goblin heroes who resemble trolls, this is practically an army in my eyes!"

“But you say the Demon King is preparing to conquer the world, so it’s impossible to use an army to deal with goblins.”

Summer Solstice recalled the large goblin tribe that would attack the ranch later, and that tribe had a goblin king.

"It's probably because of the Demon King that goblins have been appearing more and more frequently lately. Before the Demon King conquers the kingdom, the goblins will destroy the villages first."

"There are many adventurers who hunt large monsters, so I'm not an exception, but there are very few adventurers who hunt goblins."

He squeezed his right hand, which was covered by a leather glove: Goblins always appear in groups. Although their soul quality is not high, their numbers are large!

Why go far away to kill monsters with only one or a few goblins instead of killing so many goblins around the town?

Why bother.

"I will nip this possibility in the bud before the Goblin King is born, or kill the Goblin King that has already appeared!"

Hearing Xia Zhi's words so forceful and resolute, the lizard monk seemed to realize something and asked nervously.

"Goblin Slayer, have you discovered the Goblin King's presence?"

Xia Zhi nodded.

"Ah. It's right around this town."

"One Goblin King, six Goblin Heroes, a Shaman as a magic-based class, Goblin Wolf Riders, and over a hundred ordinary goblins."

"hiss?!"

The three silver-ranked adventurers gasped in shock.

"The elven archer couldn't help but say."

"This configuration is enough to breach an ordinary small town; it must be reported!"

Xia Zhi quickly stopped them.

If you report this, doesn't that mean I've lost a lot of material?

"No. There are many adventurers in the town, including several silver-level adventurers. Goblins of this size are not enough to take over the town."

"Once I've completed your mission, I will take action to eliminate this goblin tribe."

"Are you alone? That's too much to handle!"

After hearing Xia Zhi's story, the elven archer's impression of him changed significantly.
