Chapter 3 The Kobolds Attack
Chapter 3 The Kobolds Attack
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
A tall, stout young man stepped out of the caravan and approached Zhang Changsheng, asking with some confusion.
"Here's the thing, I'm a hunter in town, and I want to become an adventurer."
"I heard you're going to Ironforge, so I'd like to go with you."
Zhang Changsheng spoke up.
"Oh, I see. There are still some empty spaces in our car."
"Give me five silver coins, and I'll take you to Ironforge City."
After thinking for a moment, the tall young man spoke.
"make a deal!"
Zhang Changsheng nodded, took out five silver coins from his pocket, and handed them to the tall young man.
"There are empty seats in the back, please find a seat."
The tall young man waved his hand slightly and led the caravan onward.
Zhang Changsheng looked at the convoy in front of him, pondering which car to get into.
These oxcarts are very similar to the horse-drawn carriages of my previous life, only larger and able to carry more people.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Changsheng casually picked an oxcart, lifted the curtain, and climbed on.
After Zhang Changsheng got onto the oxcart, he looked around and saw that there were three other people besides him.
A middle-aged woman, with a child next to her who is probably her child, and the last one is an old man with a white beard.
The three of them glanced at Zhang Changsheng and then went back to their own business, paying no attention to his arrival.
Zhang Changsheng sat by the car door, looking out at the scenery through the small window in the curtain.
After watching for a while, Zhang Changsheng, feeling a bit bored, closed his eyes and rested.
……
"Enemy attack!"
A roar made Zhang Changsheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, open them.
Along with the roar, there were also the sounds of weapons being drawn and various dogs barking.
Zhang Changsheng lifted the curtain and jumped off the oxcart.
After jumping off the oxcart, Zhang Changsheng leaned against it and quickly surveyed his surroundings.
Around the convoy appeared kobolds wielding various weapons; these kobolds were all about 1 meter tall.
Apart from a few elite kobolds who carried iron weapons, most kobolds carried wooden sticks and bones.
"Woof!"
A kobold threw a stone at Zhang Changsheng, its face fierce.
At the same time, three dog-headed men charged at Zhang Changsheng, running no slower than an adult.
"Wind Blade Technique!"
Zhang Changsheng raised his left hand and waved it, unleashing a wind blade that instantly cleaved the three charging kobolds in two at the waist.
At the same time, Zhang Changsheng raised his right hand to block the dog-headed man's stone.
You killed the kobold!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the Tier 1 spell "Fireball" from the bloodline of the kobolds.
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +1! Your Constitution +1! Your Agility +1!]
[Note! Killing kobolds again will not grant you spells!]
"Fireball?"
Zhang Changsheng narrowed his eyes, sensing the spell model in his mind, and looking up how to use the Fireball spell.
Fireball = When running at high speed, flames will rise from the body, turning into a human-shaped fireball.
"Is that a fireball spell?"
Zhang Changsheng's lips twitched slightly. This fireball technique was too abstract; it was practically a self-propelled humanoid suicide truck.
"boom!"
An explosion rang out in the distance. Zhang Changsheng turned his head and saw that the oxcart at the front had been blown to pieces, with flames burning on the fragments.
Among the wreckage were several broken corpses.
"This must be the effect of magic, is it from a kobold wizard?"
As Zhang Changsheng made his judgment, he quickly scanned the area and soon found a dog-headed man who stood out from the crowd.
On a distant earthen slope stood a dog-headed man with two heads, standing two meters tall.
"View Attributes!"
Zhang Changsheng silently checked the attributes of the tall, dog-headed man.
Two-headed kobold
Class: Tier 1 Wizard
Power: 3
Agility: 2
Physical condition: 2
Intelligence: 5
Perception: 4
Charisma: 1
Skill: Fireball (Tier 1)
"A first-tier kobold?"
"I wonder if killing it will allow me to plunder any new spells?"
"This kobold only has the Fireball spell; I should be able to handle it."
"Let's do it!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Changsheng moved swiftly, like a cheetah, rushing towards the two-headed dog-man.
"It's a kobold wizard!!!"
"It's an extraordinary monster!"
……
The rest of the caravan were in a panic; this was a supernatural monster, and any number of ordinary people who came would die.
Moreover, this kobold is the most troublesome magic monster among the extraordinary monsters.
Supernatural monsters that possess magic are far more dangerous than those that do not.
Some of the more cunning guards had already begun to retreat, intending to escape.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!"
"Even extraordinary monsters have limited magical power and can't use fireballs many times."
"On the contrary, if you try to run away, you'll only be dead. These kobolds are much faster than you."
"Spread out! Fire! Fire!"
The caravan leader, a tall, fat young man, shouted loudly as he swung his heavy sword, cleaving the kobold in two.
"That's right! If you want to live, don't run!"
The loyal guards in the caravan shouted loudly.
Upon hearing these sounds, some of the guards who wanted to escape hesitated.
"Woof! Woof!"
The two-headed dog-man raised his wooden staff and began chanting a spell.
boom!
A fireball the size of a human head shot towards the head of the caravan like a cannonball.
"spread!"
The caravan leader shouted loudly, his obese body surprisingly agile, leaping several meters.
The moment it landed, it tumbled and rolled several meters away.
boom!
The fireball landed and, like a cannonball, blasted everything within a two-meter radius into fragments.
If the caravan leader had reacted any slower, he would have been blown to pieces by the fireball.
boom!boom!
Zhang Changsheng crashed into the group of dog-headed figures, charging recklessly through the crowd. His immense strength and physique allowed him to ignore the damage from the collisions, though his armor was slightly deformed.
With his 4 points of agility, Zhang Changsheng could run at a speed eight times faster than an average person, reaching the two-headed dog-headed man in just two seconds.
"Superhumans! We have superhumans too!"
Someone spotted Zhang Changsheng and immediately shouted.
"Fight back! Fight back! Don't run! We have superhumans too!"
After a surge of wild joy in his eyes, the caravan leader roared out.
After hearing the shout, everyone looked at Zhang Changsheng.
When they saw Zhang Changsheng rush towards the two-headed kobold at an incredibly terrifying speed, everyone was filled with ecstatic joy.
There really are superhumans; if that's the case, then perhaps they can survive.
"Kill all these sons of bitches!"
"kill!"
The guards who had wanted to escape immediately stopped and charged into the kobolds with high morale.
They are no match for two-headed kobolds, but against ordinary kobolds, they can easily crush them with their iron armor.
