Chapter 175 The "Hero" Hobbit Who Sold His Soul
Notis skillfully performed witchcraft, causing the vines to tightly bind the people under the pit.
She then used vines to seal the entrance to the cave, leaving only a small amount of light to shine through the vines into the pit.
The noise from goblins and pig-headed men occasionally reached the bottom of the pit, making people feel uneasy.
Although he had not been buried alive, Patrick was already terrified and was sobbing softly, like a pitiful goblin whose toes had been stepped on.
The team leader and several soldiers did not give up hope. They struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraints.
However, their efforts had little effect and they soon fell into despair.
So they began to make a loud noise. Some people cursed the goblins angrily, some complained that the captain failed to notice the trap, and more people expressed dissatisfaction with the escaped Hobbit scout, blaming him for abandoning everyone and only caring about his own life.
Only a few drivers still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that the scout would bring back help.
But the mercenaries knew that even if they rode fast horses back to the town and led reinforcements, the round trip would take at least six or seven days, which would be too late to save them.
Time passed slowly until the moonlight came, and everyone finally stopped exhausted.
However, the brief silence did not last long, as sounds of digging and filling suddenly came from overhead.
Then, the gap in the vines that was originally translucent was quickly filled with mud, and the cave fell into darkness.
Everyone understood that this meant the monsters were trying to bury them deep underground.
Fear enveloped everyone, but except Patrick, no one dared to make too much noise, for fear of angering the pig-headed men and causing them to change their tactics and adopt more cruel means, such as arson or archery, which would make their lives even more vulnerable.
A feeling of despair gradually spread among the crowd, and everyone's heart was filled with helplessness and fear.
At this moment, the team leader suddenly shouted: "Quiet, listen!"
Patrick also stopped crying, and everyone pricked up their ears nervously.
From above came the sounds of pig-headed men and goblins screaming, running, and fighting.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on up there.
However, for them, no matter what happened, it couldn't be worse than the current situation.
Following a shrill scream from the pig-headed man, the surroundings instantly returned to calm.
Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone was anxious, not knowing whether they could wait for rescue.
At this moment, a sound of digging in the soil came from overhead, like the sound of nature.
Everyone looked up and saw a small skylight that had been dug open. Sunlight poured in through the gap, bringing a glimmer of hope and warmth.
Along with the ray of hope came the face of the brave Hobbit scout.
His face was all smiles, his eyes sparkling with the joy of victory.
Everyone cheered, their hearts filled with gratitude.
Around the campfire, the Hobbit proudly recounted his experiences:
“After I went out, I quietly hid in the woods and waited for the enemy to leave.
When they all retreated, I rushed out without hesitation and shot to death the remaining pig-headed man and goblin who were responsible for burying the bodies one by one.
Then, I successfully drove away the other goblins, and then I carefully dug up the road and finally rescued you."
The captain looked at the brave Hobbit in front of him with admiration in his heart.
Her arm was bandaged, and she thanked the hobbit solemnly and earnestly:
“Thanks to you this time, if it weren’t for your wit and courage, we might have lost our lives. Thank you!”
At this time, another adventurer came over and said to the Hobbit with deep apology:
"I'm sorry. It was my fault before. When I was buried, I scolded you for running away. It was really wrong. Please forgive me."
His words were sincere and heartfelt, expressing the depth of his remorse.
However, despite the adventurers' sincere apologies, the hobbits looked somewhat embarrassed.
He seemed uncomfortable with the praise and lowered his head slightly, fiddling with the bow and arrow in his hand somewhat embarrassedly.
Patrick was having his servant carefully clean the dirt off his clothes, and he was full of gratitude to the hobbit:
"You did a great job! You saved my life, and I will give you double, no, triple the reward in return."
These words made the Hobbits extremely happy, and their joy was beyond words.
After a short break, they began to clean up the scene.
After a careful count, three goblins and the body of a pig-headed man were found.
Surprisingly, only one goblin was hacked to death, while the remaining two goblins and the pig-headed man were killed by the hobbit's bow and arrow.
This fact made everyone look at him with admiration, and they all expressed high praise for his courage and martial arts.
The hobbit, however, felt somewhat flattered.
This was the first time he had received such high praise and thanks since he joined the adventure, but he knew in his heart that all this was thanks to that strange goblin.
Looking back, before dark, on the carriage.
Alan sat in the car, his eyes fixed on the hobbit opposite him, who seemed a little reserved.
Alan smiled and said calmly:
"I only have one request of you. We robbed the nobles' convoy this time, and they will definitely come to retaliate. I need you to pass on the specific information to me, and do something small for me when the time is right."
His smile turned sinister:
"Of course, it's not beyond your ability."
Then, Allen continued:
"We will take all the carriages away, and then wait until night. You can come here to rescue the people. I will only leave the weakest pig-headed man and a goblin cub to guard them. You can definitely launch a sneak attack."
At this point, Allen let out a classic villain laugh:
"Then, you are a hero, hehe~"
Finally, Alan showed a smug smile on his face:
"Haha, of course I'm not afraid of your betrayal. Look, they heard everything we said clearly."
As he spoke, he pointed to the other people in the car.
Alan looked at the people sitting in the carriage with a sharp gaze, with a sly smile on his face:
"If a goblin exposes you, of course no one will believe it, but what if all those who were captured come forward and identify you?
I am right, this lady, and this artist, Mr.
After saying this, his eyes became sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
