The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Because the hunting party killed the goblins that were used to guide them, the army's advance slowed down suddenly.

No one in the army knew how this team dared to spend the night in the forest.

They just thought that they were a group of desperate criminals who were willing to sacrifice their lives for a little reward money.

However, this team's luck is pretty good. If they had encountered the same goblin army they encountered last night, I'm afraid not even a trace would be left.

McLaren rode up and asked, "Do these people... or one of them, have a grudge against you?"

Leon looked at him expressionlessly.

McLaren chuckled, turned his head to look at the hunting team following the team, then turned his head and whispered: "I saw it, to be honest, it's rare to see this expression on your face.

You were stunned when you saw these people, right? It was as if you remembered something, but there must be a grudge, otherwise your eyes wouldn't be so cold, remember? This is the feeling of hatred, demon hunters should also have this feeling, right? "

Leon didn't expect the other party to observe so carefully that he even noticed his micro-expressions.

"Indeed." Leon said, and a vague face appeared in his mind.

If he were an ordinary person, this face should have completely faded from his memory. After all, more than ten years have passed.

Unfortunately he is not, he has a good memory and it has gotten even better after the mutation.

The face that should have faded away reappeared when seeing this hunting team today, and gradually became clearer.

"Do you need me to help you get rid of them? I can see that you are not someone who likes to cause trouble." McLaren said with a smile.

Leon shook his head. He really didn't like to cause trouble, but if trouble came he would find a way to solve it.

And then it’s time to solve the problem.

"I understand. If you need any help, just let me know and I'll be happy to help." McLaren said with a smile.

Leon suddenly asked: "Who did you say you were last night?"

McLaren smiled and said, "You'll know soon enough."

Leon stopped asking.

He led the team to walk for a few more hours, ate something to fill their stomachs at noon, and in the afternoon, they finally found the location of the goblins' nest.

Although the goblin leading the way was killed by the hunting team, there were still a large number of goblins in last night's sneak attack, and nearly a hundred of them escaped.

After a night of rain, the traces they left behind became faint, but in the eyes of the witcher they were still as obvious as torches in the dark.

Lyon waved his hand and told Madison that they were approaching and that everyone had to dismount and move forward.

And he had to walk alone in front to determine the exact location of the goblin's nest.

He just saw a lot of traces of goblin activities nearby, and these traces were no longer in a certain direction, but in all directions.

This means that a large number of goblins set out from here to attack human villages, rather than just heading to Crete Village, or escaping back from Crete Village last night.

This place is like an important intersection, connecting several or even dozens of roads.

However, the goblins would definitely not set up any crossroads. Their crossroads would be near their nests or even in front of them.

Leon walked forward cautiously, not wanting to alert the enemy.

However, he didn't know enough about goblins after all.

"what!!!!!"

A sharp scream sounded from above his head. Leon raised his head and instantly saw the source of the scream.

It was a goblin with a body like a monkey, except it had no tail.

It squatted on the branch of the oak tree, staring at Leon, and also saw the army not far behind Leon.

He remembered that Zival had said that goblins were not picky about species...

"Why do I feel that even the alliance of dwarves and elves could not exterminate this thing? It can even reproduce with monkeys!" Leon complained in his heart.

“Ah—Ah—!!!”

"what!!!"

A tree goblin shouted, and the other tree goblins followed suit.

"Be careful, it's a tree goblin! The product of a goblin and a monkey!" Leon shouted behind him.

It has been discovered, and being more cautious is a waste of time.

"Prepare!"

Madison and the others also heard it at this distance, but after hearing Lyon's voice, they immediately took action without hiding anything.

Fortunately, they were all ready. All the soldiers immediately drew their swords, formed groups of five with shields, and quickly came towards Leon.

"What tree goblins?" Madison asked loudly.

Leon pointed to a goblin jumping like a monkey on a tree not far away and said, "On the tree!"

"What a fucking image!" Madison couldn't help but complain, and then shouted, "Archers! Aim at the trees! Shoot those ugly monkeys down for me!"

The archer immediately put away his steel sword, took out his bow and arrow and began to aim.

Leon also took out his crossbow and shot down the nearest tree goblin.

This thing is smaller than an ordinary goblin, but can move flexibly on trees. However, it cannot compare to a monkey. Apart from that, it has no other advantages, and even its defense is very low.

Leon recalled the hobgoblins last night. They should be the hybrid of goblins and forest trolls.

But not only is it smaller than a real forest troll, it is also not as powerful.

He had seen trolls lift several tons of stone with almost no effort, while hobgoblins had to stop and take a rest before smashing a wooden door.

In addition to this, its bite force is also not good. At least trolls chew the bones before eating, so there is no waste at all.

“When goblins crossbreed with anything, the offspring will acquire some of the characteristics of that species, but it seems that none of them are as good as the hybrid species.

Why does it feel like when goblins hybridize with any creature, it's like genetic improvement, but for the hybridized species, it feels like genetic pollution?" Leon thought to himself.

No wonder other races look down on goblins, and even highly intelligent races like dwarves and elves want to completely destroy each other.

This may also be one of the important reasons - genetic pollution!

But now is not the time to think about this. Just as they took out bows and arrows to shoot the tree goblins, a large number of goblins emerged from the forest ahead.

Leon stepped back and retreated into the team.

Madison sneered and said, “Haha, it looks like the nest is just ahead, so many of them appeared at once!

"Shooter! Bomb ready! Bomb!"

As Madison's order was given, the shooter in the team took the backpack off his back, took out the bomb, lit the fuse and threw it forward with all his strength.
