Chapter 4 Dragon
The kobold Doug was running away in a panic, with several companions beside him.
Originally, they thought that these incoming humans would be as easy to deal with as before, but they didn't expect that they would now be hit by a piece of iron.
There are actually professionals among those humans!
When he smashed the first human's egg, Doug was still complacent. This was a skill he had worked hard to practice. He also imagined that he would be the first to succeed in this battle.
However, the slaughter of the human professionals like chopping melons and vegetables allowed them to quickly understand the situation. Especially after the kobold team leader who led the team had his head shaved with a sword, Doug was the first to react and ran away.
Doug was complaining secretly in his heart. As soon as he ran away, the other kobolds followed him, and the humans naturally chose to chase after him. On the contrary, the kobolds who fled sporadically were left unattended.
Doug turned, and they followed suit, but he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but the humans following behind him made him shut up and keep running.
Doug must have never heard of the herd effect. He is now equivalent to the leader. No matter where he runs, the frightened kobolds will follow closely.
Facing the crisis of life and death, Doug used the kobold's small brain to the extreme. He was desperately thinking about how to escape with his life.
Go to the lair? No no! The only ones left in the lair are some young kobolds. Even if they go back, they will only lead the tribe to complete destruction!
What's more, these human professionals could obviously catch up with them, but they seemed to have deliberately slowed down their pace. Their purpose was unabashedly exposed.
Suddenly, he remembered a place where he might be able to escape with his life!
As far as he knew, there was a group of alligators living in that pool. They had a strong sense of territory and were not very bright-minded, so most kobolds would never go there to get water.
If these humans can be led there, maybe those crocodiles who are not very bright can keep them busy for a while! This may be his chance to escape.
Although these crocodiles are definitely not the opponents of professionals, they are still much thicker and thicker than kobolds! They can still do the job if they are blocked!
Thinking of this, Doug couldn't help but feel a little happy, and immediately changed his direction and ran towards the water pool.
The Blade Mercenaries who were in hot pursuit also showed joy when they saw this. The kobolds in front of them were not escaping in any random direction, but were heading in one direction. This undoubtedly meant that they were scared out of their wits and wanted to return to their nest.
Got it!
As for whether there are dragon-veined kobolds or kobold warlocks in the kobold tribe, they are not worried. The larger the kobold tribe is, the easier it is for dragon-veined kobolds to appear. If it is such a big tribe, there will be no one.
The kobold who has not reached the first level becomes the captain!
Almost, almost, the water pool occupied by the crocodiles was already in front of him, but for some reason, Doug felt something was wrong.
Obviously this pool of water is still the same as before, but Doug always feels that there is a special vague smell that stirs his mind.
But he couldn't care so much now. He just screamed and threw his blood-stained bone stick into the pool.
The kobold who followed Doug here also saw this pool, and was so frightened that he stopped on the spot. Not one or two of the same kind had been dragged into the water while fetching water here!
They didn't even care about scolding Doug, and wanted to flee in all directions as if they were waking up from a dream, but the humans were already killing them, and the kobolds were slowly forced back.
What's happening here?
Doug stared closely at the pool. The smell of blood was obviously coming out. Why haven't these brainless crocodiles appeared yet?
He had made all preparations, but the rightful owner never showed up. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Captain, this doesn't look like a kobold's lair. What are they doing here?"
One of the only two archers expressed his doubts to the leader of the Blade Mercenary Group.
"I don't know, everyone, please be careful. Maybe these kobolds think there is something here that can make them come back!"
The leader of the Blade Mercenary Group frowned. According to his experience, these kobolds did not seem to have real dragon backing, and the leading kobold did not bring them to the tribe. This was something he did not expect.
of.
"How can a group of kobolds make a comeback? Could it be that a giant dragon could pop out of the water?"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this, and they subconsciously looked at the pool. There were tiny ripples on the water, but there was nothing special about it. Then they breathed a sigh of relief.
The archer also knew that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he set up his bow and arrow with a smile and aimed at the kobolds.
The kobolds had been forced to the waterhole. Although the crocodile did not appear, the kobolds did not dare to enter the water.
Dragon! Such a familiar word, Doug's heart suddenly shook, lingering in his mouth and nose, and the vague smell seemed to have an answer.
Dragon!...Dragon!...Dragon!...
Doug's mind is already boiling, and the instinct coming from the depths of his genes is screaming crazily!
The smell that was originally indistinguishable is now incomparably clear under the amplification of Doug's brain.
Although Doug's heart seemed to be in turmoil, he did not show any flaws.
He thought he understood where those alligators had gone, but judging from the fact that the giant dragon had not shown up yet, it seemed that the one hiding in this pool was just a young dragon.
The humans in front of him were getting closer and closer, and he could clearly see that the sharp arrows on the human archers' bows were trembling slightly, as if they were about to fly out at the next moment.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew out, and Doug's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew he could no longer hesitate, lowered his head and jumped back, and the whole dog dived into the pool.
He did not pray for the giant dragon to show up and save his life, because he knew that was impossible. It would be better to dive into the water without saying a word. When humans came to check, he did not believe that this unknown giant dragon was still alive.
Can bear it!
However, taking the initiative to jump into the water pool where the giant dragon existed also brought the young dragon into danger. He didn't know whether what was waiting for him was the dragon's fangs and claws.
Yes, he was betting! He was betting that the dragon would not kill him in the first place! Fortunately, he seemed to be right!
The kobolds who were still on the shore were quickly killed. The leader of the Blade Mercenary Group wiped off the blood on his sword and looked at the calm pool with some hesitation.
Except for the leading kobold, the other kobolds were unwilling to jump into the water until they died. This abnormal phenomenon made him feel a little surprised.
"Captain, there is another one in the water, do you want me to go..."
The archer who said the wrong thing took out his dagger and wanted to go into the water and kill Doug.
"Forget it, let me go!"
The leader of the Blade Mercenary Group was silent for a while. He did not choose to let the archers go into the water, but chose to go himself.
Although I don't know what is in this pool, I think it's not too outrageous. If something happens, the most powerful one will definitely be able to get the support of the archers on the shore.
He...has confidence in his own strength!
For safety reasons, he did not take off the leather armor he carried with him. He drew out two daggers with his backhand and plunged into the water with a sudden movement.
The pool was not too big, and the water inside was quite clear. The leader of the Blade Mercenary Group soon discovered the panicked kobold trembling in the water.
This discovery made him feel very relieved. It seemed that he had thought too much! However, he did not notice that two eyes were quietly exposed in the mud at the bottom of the pool.
For this unique kobold, he decided to capture him alive. Anyway, this kobold couldn't hurt him anyway.
Just when he came up to report that his teammates were safe, he saw the eyes of his teammates who stayed on the shore quickly dilated and their mouths also opened wide.
At the same time, a palpitating chill came from behind.
Oops!
After realizing that he had been sneak attacked, the leader of the Blade Mercenary Group relied on his rich experience to quickly turn around in the water. At the same time, he lowered his head and the foot-long dagger was stabbed behind him by the swinging arm, and his legs
Kick back at the same time.
With this defensive counterattack, no matter what is attacking him from behind, this set is enough for him to drink!
"Ding!"
A crisp sound sounded, and the dagger of relatively good quality seemed to be pierced into the copper wall, and then broke into two pieces.
His heart suddenly lurched, and at this moment, he turned his head behind him, but he only saw a huge mouth that was closing!
"Crack!"
The tough leather armor had no effect, and the body was bitten into two pieces.
"dragon!……!"
Chapter completed!
