Chapter 50 The Underground Ruins of the Magic Horn Tree Forest
Chapter 50 The underground ruins of the Devil’s Horn Tree Forest
Because there were too many uncertainties, Owen just wrote down this matter, then turned on the Demon King's halo, and took Ciel further into the Demon Horn Forest. Their destination today was not here.
Many people think that the Devil's Horn Forest is not scary, because it looks no different from an ordinary forest from the outside. Even bandits and the original coalition of nobles dared to enter the forest. In fact, this is completely wrong. This illusion is entirely due to
The Devil's Horn Forest is divided into two layers: inner and outer.
The outer edge of the Devil's Horn Forest is no different from an ordinary forest, otherwise Owen would not have built a lumber camp here, but the inside is different, because the real Devil's Horn Forest only has one plant, the Devil's Horn Tree.
The magic horn tree is said to be a tree, but in fact it looks more like an oversized thorn in appearance. It has no flowers or leaves, is as black as iron, and is very hard. The thorns of the magic horn tree can easily pierce skin and flesh, and are also terrifyingly poisonous.
, no creature wants to get close at all.
Moreover, the Devil's Horn Tree is very predatory. Only plants of the same species can grow within its growth range. There is no room for other flowers, plants and trees to survive. Therefore, although the Devil's Horn Goblin lives within the range of the Devil's Horn Tree,
But they won't really go deep, because they need to go to the outside of the forest to find food, and the magic horn tree is just a barrier for them to resist foreign enemies.
The heavily armored magic sheep moved nimbly and powerfully, jumping in the forest like an antelope, and soon carried them through the outer forest and arrived at the real magic horn forest.
This place is simply like a forest cursed by a witch in a fairy tale. Giant black thorns as thick as a few people can be hugged can be seen everywhere, growing like prehistoric monster pythons, and countless fine vines extend from the whole body, intertwining and weaving into a net in the air.
There is almost no gap left, coupled with the dense jagged tree thorns, it is like a needle jungle. No normal creature will enter here.
If the goblins were not too weak, coupled with their super reproductive ability and adaptability, they would not have entered the growth range of the magic horn tree and mutated.
For the sake of gathering, the Goblin General did not choose to stay inside the Devil's Horn Tree Forest, but found an open space outside. At present, dozens of tattered tents were spread out in a mess, with garbage and feces everywhere, and...
There was an iron pot with half a goblin stewed in it, which attracted a group of little goblins to drool around. However, no little goblin dared to come close. It is estimated that some unlucky guy fell in and became a side dish.
The goblins who have just gone through the winter are in a state of hunger. They throw the same kind that did not survive the winter alive or are weak into the pot and eat them. However, the number is limited after all, so they are busy looking for food. There is only the Goblin General in the camp.
With a bunch of little goblins.
Owen was also a little nervous. Although he mobilized a lot of soldiers, there would definitely be casualties in a real fight.
"It's my subordinate's fault. I don't trust the Demon King!" The Goblin General immediately broke into a cold sweat and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.
"Are you saying that there are suspected dungeon ruins in the Devil's Horn Tree Forest?" It's not that Owen doesn't believe what the Goblin General said. As a monster in the dungeon game, he can't recognize anything else. The dungeon can only be heard with his eyes closed.
He could recognize the smell. He was surprised that there was an underground city in the North.
Was it built by barbarians from the North?
In the middle of the night, the Goblin General personally led a group of Goblins to the territory. The smell of humans and animals and the buildings here made the Goblins restless. Their cunning eyes kept flashing, and they obviously wanted to do something to burn, kill, and rob.
Although there is magic in this world, building a dungeon is by no means a small project. It may not be a national-level project, but it is definitely not something that ordinary nobles can build.
"Lord Demon King, these were found in the Devil's Horn Tree Forest." Perhaps in order to improve his impression in front of Lord Demon King, the Goblin General carried out several boxes from his tent, containing broken gold and silver coins.
What they have in common with some strange items is that they are all man-made, not natural products.
Why build in the Devil's Horn Forest?
What is the purpose of construction?
Countless questions made Owen confused, but after he came back to his senses, he had already made up his mind to explore the dungeon, because he could not just sit back and watch this unstable factor around him, and he urgently wanted to know what was hidden in the ruins.
secret.
The situation is as it is before the eyes, nothing special.
In addition, goblins are difficult to control, and the battle is okay. They are basically like herding ducks at ordinary times. Don't expect them to obey orders obediently. This gives the Goblin General a headache.
He worked hard to farm and develop his subordinates, not just so that he could stay safely in the territory without taking any risks. How could he exploit danger wherever it happened?
"Lord Demon King!" Goblin General, who was about to train the little goblin, hurried over to salute after seeing Owen arriving.
What did Owen think of at this time? If serfs and surrendered soldiers can be converted into system arms through system buildings, can goblins also do it?
Fortunately, the ruins have existed for so many years, so I am not afraid that it will have problems in a short time. Owen decided to try the transformation of goblins first.
Seeing that the beating was effective, Owen stopped when he saw good results and asked him to get up and report on the work. After all, with the limited resources he gave and the special situation of Goblin, it would be good to maintain the status quo.
The large number of goblins gathering makes it very difficult to find food. After all, goblins don't know how to plant or breed. Even hunting depends on luck. What's more, it's just the beginning of spring, and even the beasts are skinny.
I was so hungry that I really didn’t know who would eat whom when I met them.
"It looks pretty bad here, even if it's a goblin, at least he can do something for me!" Owen said very dissatisfied.
In fact, Owen wished it was just an ordinary ruins, because it meant there was no danger. If it was used to seal the Demon King, he would have to think about when to run away.
As for taking Charles to explore the underground ruins in person, Owen said he was not that unreasonable.
Fortunately, Owen was well prepared and cooked a large pot of food in the barracks, and the Goblin General killed them all as a warning. These Goblins still obediently entered the completely independent and heavily guarded barracks.
Spending such a large price cannot be prepared for future archaeology. There must be important reasons.
Fortunately, the risk is worth it. After trying it, Owen found that it actually works, and the progress value consumed is much lower than that of ordinary people. A little progress value can transform ten goblins into goblin farmers.
Although the transformed goblin peasants still have cunning in their eyes and still look wretched, their obedience is much better.
In addition, just like system farmers, as long as they are willing to spend time, goblin farmers can also become basic soldiers through training in the barracks.
If the Goblins were not too weak in strength and appearance, it would obviously be more cost-effective to convert the Goblins as the main population, but this would be fine, at least it would be enough as cannon fodder.
