NOVEL NEXT Chapter 54 - Kill! Chased By Kobolds!
“It really is the Kobolds!”
Dorothy looked at the kobolds below and pondered.
These kobolds all looked quite fierce.
Although their names contain the word “dog,” they are much more detestable than dogs.
(T/N: “狗头人” (gǒutóurén)- Kobolds. “狗” (gǒu) means “dog.”)
In the Beast Kingdom, kobolds and goblins are probably the two most detested races.
Kobolds like to live in caves. They usually hollow out a mountain and make it their home. They never cultivate their own food, and their diet is quite varied. If they get hungry, anything can become their meal.
This time, when the locust plague struck, this kobold tribe set their sights on Dorothy’s tribe.
However, Dorothy did not expect that these kobolds not only plundered all the food in the tribe, but now they were actually following the Fox Tribe convoy. It seemed that they likely had some sinister plot.
“Goro, something’s not right with these fox people. Where are they going?” Under the trees, a kobold spoke.
Although their noses were keen, they did not detect Dorothy lurking above.
Dorothy was most skilled at hiding. When she hid well, even Mia might not be able to find her.
“I don’t know. The locusts are coming soon. If the food is not enough, these fox people are good food. We can’t let them escape. Pate, you keep an eye on here. I’ll go inform the chief. Fortunately, we have a team nearby. They don’t have enough food and won’t be able to escape far!” Another kobold said.
After speaking, this kobold prepared to lead his men and go back.
“Won’t let you retreat!”
Above the trees, Dorothy moved.
She descended from the tree like a nimble swallow, swiftly pouncing on the kobold named Goro.
Her movements were light and fast. Before Goro could react, he was pierced through the head by Dorothy’s sword.
After killing the kobold named Goro with one sword strike, Dorothy pulled her sword and killed another kobold nearby.
As a trained assassin since childhood, her skills were not much inferior to Mia’s.
“It’s a fox woman!”
At this moment, the kobolds finally noticed her.
One of them swung his weapon at Dorothy, but with a single sword strike from the fox girl, the weapon in the kobold’s hand was directly chopped off. Dorothy’s sword didn’t stop, piercing the kobold’s head.
Then she pulled her sword and killed another kobold rushing over.
“She’s too strong, run!”
Seeing Dorothy kill four kobolds in a few seconds, the other kobolds were terrified and scattered.
“Don’t even think about running!”
Dorothy chased after them with her sword. One kobold after another fell under her sword in a short time in this forest.
She stood among the kobold corpses, panting lightly.
At this moment, her expression changed.
Because she saw, several hundred meters away, another small group of kobolds was quickly leaving. With such a distance, even with her current stamina, she couldn’t catch up.
“I must make the tribe hurry up!”
Dorothy didn’t try to chase anymore. After wiping her sword clean, she quickly left the area.
Soon, she returned to the Fox Tribe convoy and brought back the news of the kobolds’ pursuit.
As a result, all the fox people, regardless of their tired bodies, desperately rushed towards Richard’s territory.
…
On the other side, on a densely forested mountain, a large number of kobolds were digging.
They were adopting the method of draining a pond to catch fish, digging up all the forest’s resources in one go.
“What? The fox tribe escaped? Goro was killed?” A tall kobold on a nearby mountain heard the news and became furious.
Because Goro was his son.
“All of you, forget about this forest, let’s go, we’ll catch those fox people!” The tall kobold said.
Suddenly, a large number of kobolds rushed out of the forest, howling and screaming like mad dogs.
Their speed was much faster than the fox people’s, and they quickly chased after them.
“We need to go faster.”
In the Fox Tribe convoy, Dorothy urged the tribe members incessantly.
Fortunately, these fox people had just eaten the last bit of food not long ago, which was the compressed biscuits Dorothy had carried. Otherwise, under the fatigue and hunger, they wouldn’t be able to endure.
