Long Yu asked a few questions in one go, and Yuan Kou answered all of them.
"Ahem, it's fine. Don't we still have two Goblins?"
Long Yu was a quick-witted fellow. Even though he was embarrassed for a moment, it didn't affect his performance.
"These two Goblins were originally going to Old Tree Root Forest. Let them lead the way for us."
"…" Long Yu was dumbfounded. This was very awkward. He didn't know where he was right now … Just now, when he told them to follow the directions on the map, it was like a slap to his face.
… …
"I don't need you to control them. I will!"
Long Yu laughed coldly. Next, he just had to repeat what he had done to the Goblins. He didn't need to think of a way to tame the Giant Wolves. He directly used the Demon Soul Sword to control the souls of the Giant Wolves and sped in the direction Long Yu wanted them to go.
"Not bad, this is the clue!"
Dragon Feather was quite excited – everything was going very smoothly. "This is an order for these two Goblins to go to Old Tree Root Forest to investigate. There's a Meteor grade Essence Soul Demon nearby, and it suspects that our Human Stronghold is in that forest."
"Everyone, let's follow the directions on the map and head to Old Tree Root Forest as fast as possible …" Long Yu was about to leave when Monian pulled his sleeve.
He asked with a bitter expression, "Captain, where are we going?
Where are we now? "
"System Notification: Mission 9: Find a new safe spot: There may be clues to a safe spot nearby. Please find the clues and head to the safe spot.
Please note that the second Universe Level, Yuan Kou, has already detected your position and is chasing after you. Please escape to a safe spot nearby as fast as possible. "
"Understood!"
The team members nodded and dispersed. Long Yu carried the unconscious Artoria and searched in a certain direction … Ever since they had dealt with Godzilla, Long Yu had been responsible for carrying Artoria, whether it was hiding in a safe spot or breaking through the small teleportation array of Yuan Kou. Just like Guhan, Long Yu had developed some special feelings for Artoria.
"Is your mission to investigate the Old Tree Root Forest?"
Fortunately, according to the Goblins, there was a Great Wolf Tribe nearby that had tamed a type of Great Wolf that could be used as mounts. They had planned to go to the Great Wolf Tribe and ask the Great Wolf Tribe's Chief to send them to Old Tree Root Forest.
Even though the two Goblins resisted with all their might, under Long Yu's overwhelming strength, they only lasted a few seconds before their eyes rolled back and they were completely controlled by Long Yu.
"Yes!"
Upright Gentleman nodded, took out a scroll of sheepskin and handed it to Long Yu, explaining, "I found this on the bodies of these two Goblins, but I can't understand the Magical Beast language, so I don't know what's written on it."
"Do you know where the Old Tree Root Forest is, how far it is from here, and how long it takes to walk?"
However, Long Yu was different. He was extremely talented and was a language genius to begin with. After studying with Young Master Ba Yun for more than ten years, he knew all the common languages between humans and Yuan Kou like the back of his hand. It was naturally no problem for him to read the demon beast language.
He only took one look and understood the contents of the sheepskin.
These two Goblins' mission was to shake up the Old Tree Root Forest, and they knew the way there.
However, the Old Tree Root Forest was more than 50 kilometers away from here. If the team ran at a constant speed, it would take at least three hours. By that time, the second Yu Level, Yuan Kou, would have caught up with them.
It wasn't that Long Yu and the others didn't have these skills, but there was no need to use them on these weaklings.
"Is the clue nearby?"
Long Yu looked around and found that he was in a vast expanse of white snow. This was Bing City, but it wasn't Bing City. It seemed to be a forest near Bing City.
After hundreds of years, there might still be traces of the city, but the village had completely disappeared. The entire forest seemed to have returned to an uninhabited ancient era.
It was a pity that Yao Ming was only a Goblin. Against the powerful Famed Swordmistress, he was easily captured by the Swordmistress, one in each hand.
"That's right. The next safe spot is at the Old Tree Root Forest!"
Long Yu projected the map on his personal terminal and searched for a while on the map. He quickly found the location of the Old Tree Root Forest and marked it heavily in red.
"Do you know where we can use transportation nearby?"
"But Captain, what if these two Goblins lie to us and lead us to a dangerous place?" Gentleman Upright asked worriedly.
"Gentleman, did you discover anything?" Long Yu asked quickly as he glanced at Gentleman Upright.
"Don't worry, it's just two Ghost Level Yuan Kou. My Demon Soul Sword can control them!"
Long Yu released his Demon Soul Sword and reduced the two pitiful Goblins' HP to half. Then, he used the Demon Soul Sword's two tentacles to stab into the Goblins' brains.
The Giant Wolf Tribe was a medium-sized tribe near Bing City. The strongest was naturally their Chief, a Nether Level Yuan Kou.
He had dozens of Dragon Level Giant Wolf Riders and a few hundred Ghost Level Giant Wolf Rider Servants!
All in all, this was a strong force.
"Everyone, choose a direction and split up to search. If you find anything strange, report to me. The clues are nearby."
The heavy snow had sealed off the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, the area around Long Yu was completely covered in snow. Any clues would have been covered by the snow.
Long Yu immediately ordered everyone to move towards Gentleman Upright's position. At the same time, Gentleman Upright entered the small building to scout the situation.
When Long Yu and the others arrived, Gentleman Upright had just finished scouting the small building. Behind him was his Sword Maiden, who was holding two large Goblins in each hand.
These two Goblins weren't very large. They weren't even as large as an adult.
Compared to normal Goblins, these two Goblins were like Yao Ming among Goblins.
"Good. We'll go to the Giant Wolf Tribe and borrow their Giant Wolves!" Long Yu sneered.
"That's right. What I'm worried about the most is transportation. The teleportation formation is on a small island in the middle of a lake. The Marauders can't reach there. If we use the formation, we'll lose our only means of transportation. If the safe zone is too far from here, then the quest will be difficult.
However, as I said earlier, the system will not give us a dead end. Who knows, there might be a means of transportation hidden in this instance dungeon. When you are looking for clues, you must also pay close attention to see if there are any suitable means of transportation nearby.
Do you understand? "
"System Prompt: Quest 8: Pass through the small teleportation formation.
You have passed through the small teleportation formation and arrived at Bing City, which is a thousand miles away.
Dungeon Completion Rate: 70%. "
"Leader, this is going to be troublesome. Where are we going to find clues?"
Monien's brain wasn't working very well. In his eyes, everything was white. Everything was covered in snow. There was no way he could find a safe place to hide.
If an ordinary Famed Sword-level party had come here, they would have needed to lure out the Flood Dragon Giant Wolf Knights and kill them one by one. Then, after eliminating the leader's wings, they would begin to surround and attack the Nether Giant Wolf Chieftain … This was a normal strategy for ordinary players, but for the Storm Waves party, it was meaningless. They could just charge in and kill their way in. They didn't need to use delicate techniques like luring the monsters or positioning themselves.
However, in the face of the ferocious Storm Strategy Team, the Giant Wolf Tribe was simply not enough. It was simply a massacre. Countless Giant Wolves and Orc Knights were beheaded, even the young wolves and Orcs were no exception.
This was the rule of interaction between humans and Yuanzhen. They would never show any kindness or tolerance to the other party. This was a battle of life and death.
However, Feather Dragon had left seven Giant Wolves alive. Each of the six Famed Swordsmen rode one Giant Wolf. Artoria lay alone on the Giant Wolf's back. Feather Dragon was responsible for looking after her.
Feather Dragon's judgment was correct. The clues were easy to find. After a few minutes, Righteous Gentleman reported back. He had found a small concrete building that hadn't been completely covered in snow. It seemed to have been left behind by a villager.
"Leader, we've never ridden a Giant Wolf before!
What if we can't control them? "
Mo Yu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw these wolves howling and attacking him after having their companions killed.
These Giant Wolves already viewed him as their enemy. How could they willingly accept Moyu's control?
"We'll have clues soon enough!"
Feather Dragon was calm when he heard Monien's worry. "I've said it before. This dungeon is prepared for ordinary players. The clues won't be hidden in some secret place.
Although there's nothing here apart from snow, if we find something else, the clues will be there! "
"Let me see!" Long Yu took the parchment and read out the Magical Beast language without any difficulty.
Magical Beast Language was a common language used by Western Magical Beasts in Yuan Kou's Faction. Since Magical Beasts had a very different mindset from humans, it was difficult for humans to learn and recognize Magical Beast Language.
Most of the Famed Swordsmen couldn't recognize this strange language.
"You're worthless!"
Long Yu used the Imperial Soul Demon Sword to cut off the heads of the two Goblins. Long Yu already knew the way to Old Tree Root Forest, so these two Goblins were useless.
