Chapter 3 Distress

The daily task of Prell and Belga is to patrol the hillside to the west of the Gale Mine.

Because Gazruin successfully discovered an iron mine and a suspected gold mine in the Stonetalon Mountains, the goblin merchants who saw his joke at first felt that they were fools.

In order to prove that they are not fools, the goblin businessmen united and stated righteously that the Stonetalon Mountains is such a dangerous place, even if the venture capital company is the largest mining and forestry group in the entire Azeroth world, working in the Gale Mine is dangerous.

A serious threat to life.

So it was difficult for Gazrouin to hire more goblins to work for him. He could only use the limited resources at his hands. In the end, he had to work with the leaders of other companies and those hateful goblin businessmen under the guidance of Capelan.

An agreement was reached.

The iron ore produced in the Gale Mine must be given priority to the northern oil fields in the Barrens. The logging department also responsible for transportation is located in the Gale Valley. The supply of all material needs in the Gale Mine is also handed over to the logging department.

Carry out transportation.

This is equivalent to Gazruin giving both ends of his mining business to other businessmen. Fortunately, although the goblins are cunning, once the contract is confirmed, they regard the contract as sacred, so Gazruin can only hold on to it.

The nose is recognized.

Of course he knew that his old friend Capelan must be involved in this, but goblins have always been like this, not only calculating against their customers, but also calculating against each other. In the goblin trade culture, this seems to be even a standard of moral condemnation.

Not on.

Therefore, Gazruin had to ask the kobolds to send enough manpower to ensure the smooth flow of transportation roads. This request was a real life-threatening thing for the kobolds.

In the four months since Prell has been on guard patrol, at least twenty kobolds have been killed by two people who have been rolled into food by the silk spun by the deep moss spiders in the forest and used as nutrition for the spiders to reproduce and lay eggs for the next generation.

There were more than thirty people under Zu Feilong's mouth.

Regarding this matter, not only Gazrouin was worried, but Capelan was also frowning. As his logging army continued to deepen, from the northwest direction of the Wind Valley to the depths of the forest, the number of woodcutter killed was no less than that of the kobolds.

It is an extremely difficult task for both commercial forces to open up and maintain a smooth road in this virgin forest.

For the timid kobolds, losing their lives to spiders and wyverns made them avoid the job of guarding. Therefore, as the eldest son of the entire family, Gaspar had to choose from among his young nephews and nephews.

Redeploy manpower.

After all, newborns are always less timid.

It was under such circumstances that Prell began his guard career. As newcomers, he and Belga were not blocked by the old people and died, so after patrolling for three months, their patrol route changed from

The outer layer of the mine still goes deep into the forest.

This day's patrol was still uneventful. Early the next morning, after breakfast, the kobold's unique food - gopher meat wrapped in oat flour and steamed in a large pot, Prell took Bell with him.

Jia followed the escort group and embarked on the patrol route again.

Their main task is to search for any traces of deep-moss spider activity on the edge of the forest outside the hillside to the west of the mine. For them, this is not entirely a dangerous job.

Belga silently followed Prell. As a kobold who awakened and became a spell caster, he was more intelligent than ordinary kobolds, and his awakening profession was shaman, which was better than that of his twin brother Snu.

The mage is more mature and stable.

Belga has always felt that his cousin is a strange person. Ever since they were very young, Prell has always acted like he has seen the whole world and has no love in his life.

But even if they are minors, all kobolds still have to undertake some work according to their personal abilities. Belga is busy every day helping to carry the ore dug out of the mine, and follows other adult kobolds to learn to use their sense of smell to identify abandoned gravel.

Which stones have the value of refining, so he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to Prell.

Likewise, Prell was out of place among the entire kobold community, and was ignored by others because the kobolds were too busy trying to survive.

For Prell, this feeling was both a bit disappointing and a bit regretful. Even his parents had no time to pay attention to his abnormal behavior.

For the entire kobold race, Prell always felt that he was an outsider. He resisted and even hated his own appearance, which in turn created great indignation and disgust for the entire kobold race.

This was a road that was carved out with great difficulty. Capellan's lumberjacks used wood saws and axes to cut out a passage, but the abundant rain soon made the road overgrown with grass, low shrubs and

Small sapling.

For kobolds, the three most dangerous animals in this forest, deep moss spiders and wyverns, are not ranked first. The first place on the list is venomous snakes.

The wyvern has a fixed hunting and activity area, and as long as it understands the rules, it can still be avoided. The deep moss spider is usually particularly active during the egg-laying period, and most of the time it moves at night.

So Prell walked in front, waving a branch and beating it in the grass in front of him.

Then he looked at the sky and felt that the surroundings were very safe, so he said to Belga: "You go ahead, I'll go take a bowel movement!"

Belga has become accustomed to his cousin defecating on time every day. He is not timid, of course, compared to other kobolds. In fact, the spellcasters among the kobolds are far superior in wisdom and courage.

It's no different than humans.

Of course Prell wasn't defecating, he wasn't even lazy, he just wanted to find a separate place to vent his emotions.

As born miners, kobolds always live a collective life, eating together and working together, and even the living areas are concentrated in a huge cave dug next to the mine.

Prell walked into the forest as usual, stayed away from the grassy road, punched and kicked a big tree, and then cursed fiercely.

When his strength was exhausted, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, so he squatted down regardless and let out a comfortable cry.

When he half-crouched carefully and kept moving in search of clean grass and leaves to wipe his buttocks, Prell stood up with hesitation, then his expression changed and he rolled on the spot.

Years of underground activities have allowed kobolds to evolve night vision and extremely sensitive hearing and smell. This ability, which is similar to the racial talent, allowed Prell to avoid disaster.

"Poof!" A slight sound broke through the air, and a white spider web fell behind him, just covering his excrement. A brown deep-mossed spider web was bigger than an ordinary kobold.

The spider showed its furry head from behind a big tree not far away.

Prell broke out in a cold sweat. This was the first time he had seen a living deep moss spider. This kind of creature is widely spread among the kobold tribe. Once, the messengers sent by Capellan, two human knights,

Drag a slain Deep Moss Spider to the Gale Mine.

At that time, Prell, who was young at that time, followed the crowd to visit. This disgusting creature left a deep impression on him. The deep moss spider full of wounds was finally cut into pieces by the kobolds, cooked and eaten.

People say it tastes quite good, with a fresh grassy aroma.

This deep moss spider carried eight huge long legs, cut the grass on the ground with a click, and circled out from behind the big tree. Two black chelicerae stretched out from the mouthparts and kept closing them, trying to

Cut the kobold in front of you into pieces.

Prell quickly touched his waist. He wanted to blow the wooden whistle to remind Belga to escape quickly. However, he missed it and glanced around eagerly, only to find that he had hung up his satchel because he needed to take off his pants to defecate.

On the pickaxe.

But the pickaxe was inserted into the ground eight or nine steps away, where the deep moss spider must pass to pursue it.

Sweat dripped from Prell's forehead. He swallowed hard and had many thoughts at that moment. He even thought it would be good to be killed by the spider like this, and maybe he could travel back to his original world.

With a "click", the deep moss spider used its chelicerae to cut off a small sapling in front of it. The sound awakened Prell. He shook his head vigorously and finally made a decision.

He roared, the sound sounded extremely weird, and then he rushed towards the Deep Moss Spider. The kobold's behavior seemed to be beyond the Deep Moss Spider's expectations. The second spray web that was originally brewing in the abdomen finally

It didn't spray out, and it rushed over directly.

Prell suddenly accelerated the pace of his sprint. Just when one man and one spider were about to collide with each other, the deep moss spider suddenly pounced forward, but Prell rolled along and got under the spider's belly.

When he looked back at the confrontation again, Prell had a pickaxe in his hand. All of this was part of his plan. At this critical moment of life and death, he suddenly remembered the human who killed a deep moss spider.

Knight once said in goblin language that when hunting and attacking, this kind of spider likes to pounce forward and then rely on its strength to knock down the prey.

Prell stared closely at the chelicerae in the mouthparts of the deep moss spider. This is the experience gained by the kobold with his life: the opening and closing of the chelicerae represents the attack of the deep moss spider.
