He ignored the two goblins still struggling in pain and stood facing the rabbit-like cave.

Xia Zhi pulled out the magic scroll she had obtained from the witch from her waist and immediately activated it.

This scroll is called the Teleportation Scroll. It is a superb magical item that is said to allow adventurers to escape immediately, no matter where they are or how dangerous their situation is.

Because it is not easy to make, the price is quite impressive.

However, if the opposite spell is inscribed on the scroll, items from other locations can be teleported back to Xia Zhi.

As requested by Xia Zhi, the witch set the other side of the teleportation scroll deep in the sea!

Inscribing a magic circle on the seabed is no easy task, and it costs more than a regular teleportation scroll.

This teleportation scroll, along with two other scrolls, almost completely depleted Goblin Slayer's savings, including what Summer Solstice earned later.

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste to use something like this to kill goblins.

But since it concerns the first magical artifact that Xia Zhi is preparing for himself, a little waste is acceptable.

Wow!

When the scroll was activated, a large amount of seawater rushed into the goblin cave!

Xia Zhi had complete faith in the goblin's reproductive ability, which was comparable to that of a cockroach.

However, in this rabbit hole, which is less than 200 square meters in size, there are more than 30 goblins!

This is a very rare occurrence!

Is it because there are no other goblin strongholds on the grassland that all the goblins have gathered together?

However, it was precisely because there were so many goblins here that Xia Zhi was even more satisfied.

The water at the bottom of the ocean has enormous pressure.

The waves bursting from the scroll transformed into a torrent, like high-pressure water blades, covering the goblins!

In this cramped cave, the goblins had no way to hide!

Moreover, it's almost noon, which is equivalent to midnight for humans.

Most of the goblins are still fast asleep!

Several goblins near the cave entrance were cut into pieces in their sleep by the powerful, irregular water jets, and the seawater mixed with blood quickly filled the cave.

Within seconds of the scroll taking effect, a massive amount of seawater crashed down, flooding the cave.

Submerged and bewildered, the goblins awoke from their suffocation.

Their little minds couldn't possibly understand why, after waking up, they found themselves in the water instead of in an underground cave.

However, the will to survive drove these goblins to struggle desperately.

Several goblins, without any instruction, mastered the dog-paddle swimming technique and swam towards the cave entrance.

At the cave entrance, Xia Zhi put away the magic scroll she had used, then kicked two nearly dead goblins into the cave, blocking the entrance.

Whenever a goblin peeks out of the cave and tries to climb out, Xia Zhi will ruthlessly grab a wooden stick that a goblin has dropped, knock it unconscious, and then stab it back in.

One, two, three...

After the five goblins had their skulls violently opened, no other living goblins surfaced.

Xia Zhi waited for another ten minutes or so to confirm that all the goblins had drowned in the cave.

Then, he took out the shovel he had brought and filled in the entrance to the cave, shovel by shovel.

More than an hour later, the hole quickly turned into a swampy muddy area due to the mixture of mud and water.

Xia Zhi thoughtfully made a wooden sign with the words "Beware of Swamp" written in large characters on both sides, and stuck it here.

Next, Xia Zhi took out the map she carried with her, marked the location of the grassland, and wrote the character "water" in Chinese.

"This is the first one."

……

Inside the town, Xia Zhi replenished some supplies and submitted a report on mission completion to the counter staff.

The Adventurers' Guild will send someone to the grasslands to verify the situation.

Has this nest of goblins truly been wiped out?

However, given Goblin Slayer's reputation for diligently slaying goblins over the past five years, this is just a formality.

Since rescuing the rookie adventurer team last month, Xia Zhi has encountered them several times.

It's clear that the priestess has integrated into the team, chatting and laughing with her fellow members.

These novices stopped aiming too high and started with the most basic task: cleaning sewers.

Although the large rats and spiders in the sewers look disgusting and killing one doesn't cost much, they are a good way to gain combat experience and are not very dangerous.

Besides this mission, Xia Zhi received two other missions related to goblins.

"A small goblin nest was discovered in the southern forest."

"Deep in the mountains to the north, there is a mountain town that looks like an ancient castle. Not only did they kidnap the client's sister, but even the adventurers who volunteered to rescue her never returned."

A small goblin nest in the southern forest had already been visited by an adventurer party when he accepted the quest.

Like the four newcomers last time, this team is full of novice adventurers at the Porcelain level.

The squad consists of a mage, a warrior, and a priest.

All three were male, and there was virtually no chance of them surviving.

Xia Zhi learned from Goblin Slayer's memories that in the five years he had been in the town, he had seen many such novice adventurer teams.

They enthusiastically formed a team, accepted the mission to exterminate goblins, and then never returned.

Some adventurers died at the hands of goblins, while others became goblins' sex toys and breeding machines.

Some adventurers, witnessing the tragic deaths of their companions, abandoned the dangerous profession of adventurer and returned to their hometowns.

Only a very small number of newcomers can escape unscathed, and even fewer can complete the mission.

After all, in the Adventurers' Guild, the task of exterminating goblins is just like cleaning the sewers; it's a Porcelain-level task that any newcomer who has just registered as an adventurer can take on.

Just like how high-level adventurers would rob quests that pay well but are easy, there aren't many goblin-hunting quests for newbies who can only clean sewers.

This is one of the reasons why Goblin Slayer is not well-liked.

As a third-tier silver-rank adventurer, what's with always stealing quests from newbies?!

Chapter 12 The goblins on the mountaintop need to be burned.

Compared to the small goblin nests found in the forest, the goblin castles deep in the northern mountains are more worthy of attention during the summer solstice.

Goblins will attack villages once their numbers exceed 50.

The more numerous they are, the faster they reproduce.

Let alone demonic cultivators.

Even Buddha would be furious if he saw goblins abducting women to use as breeding machines!

……

Following the clues on the mission assignment, Xia Zhi quickly found the location of the goblins.

This ancient castle was built on the highest peak of the mountains to the north, and it was originally a fortress used by the kingdom to guard the border.

Later, the kingdom's borders changed, and the fortress was abandoned, remaining so for over a century.

Because it was used as a fortress, the castle had an excellent field of vision and was located on a mountaintop, giving it a commanding position that made it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Nestled among ancient trees and mountains, this man-made castle stands out prominently.

It was nighttime, and many goblins stood on the castle walls with torches, guarding the castle like soldiers.

At the foot of the ancient castle, Xia Zhi could still hear the goblins' cheerful calls from inside.

Xia Zhi carefully examined the ancient castle, a smile appearing on her face.

"Is this a banquet? Then let me add fuel to the fire!"

Although the castle is made of stone, it has been abandoned for a long time, and huge ancient trees and vines grow inside.

Some of the ancient trees and vines have dried up and turned into a playground for goblins.

But today, this place will become a goblin crematorium.

Grabbing the bow and arrows slung over her back, Xia Zhi, who was hiding in the bushes, knelt down, took out a magic scroll that she had commissioned the witch to make, and tied it to the bow and arrows.

He set up a small mechanism so that when an arrow hits a goblin or something else and is subjected to a certain impact, the magic scroll will be activated.

The next moment, Xia Zhi drew his bow and aimed at a broken window in the castle.

He infused the arrow with his inner energy, narrowed his eyes, and released his right hand.

Whoosh!

The bow is taut like a full moon, the arrow swift as a flash of light.

The arrow carrying the magic scroll flew into the castle's main hall, which was also where the goblins were most concentrated.

"Gah?"

"ah!"

The arrow didn't hit the goblin; instead, it stuck diagonally into the ground, the arrowhead completely embedded.

Some goblins came up to investigate out of curiosity.

In that instant, the radiance of magic was released from the scroll!

The seed of flame unfolded from the scroll.

The next second, it expanded rapidly, just like a blooming flower!

Bear!

"Yiiii!!!"

Several nearby goblins, after letting out a sharp and short scream, first turned into balls of fire, and then quickly turned into black charcoal.

This incomparably crimson and dazzling flower of fire continued to expand under the terrified gazes of the other goblins, eventually engulfing the entire hall!

Bloom! Bloom!

Under the scorching heat, the goblins who had been singing and dancing in the hall were now crying and screaming.

The lucky goblins were engulfed in flames and died quickly.

The unlucky goblin was set ablaze, screaming and running away like a headless fly, before being burned alive.

Some goblins, who were relieved that they hadn't been ignited by the flames, suddenly grabbed their own throats.

They opened their mouths wide and tried to breathe deeply, but it was no use.

The burning flames consumed a lot of oxygen, making them feel suffocated in the relatively enclosed space!

In the slow, oxygen-deprived death, snot and tears fall from the ugly faces of these goblins.

They collapsed to the ground in agony, their limbs thrashing about, leaving trails on the ground.

Ten seconds later, one goblin after another stopped struggling, collapsed in the corner of the castle, their eyes wide open in death.

boom!

The raging flames ignited the withered ancient trees and vines surrounding the castle, and then continued to spread.

These ancient trees are like firewood. The ancient castle, coexisting with these trees, transforms into a furnace, and the entire castle bursts into flames!

boom!

The castle's wooden structure was damaged by the intense heat of the flames.

The old castle, long neglected, has begun to collapse.

One by one, the ceiling panels crumbled into boulders and fell with a dull thud.

At the foot of the ancient castle, Xia Zhi looked surprised.

The spell inscribed in the magic scroll is called Flame Storm!
