So that's why the goblins captured so many people not only to lure us up the mountain, but also to use us as sacrifices.
According to Sekamens, the mastermind seemed to offer sacrifices at regular intervals, and they were divided into different levels, so the noisier sacrifices would be sacrificed in advance.
Based on this, as long as we are quiet, most of the prisoners are still safe, and there is no need to worry about not being able to complete the requirement of rescuing ten trapped people.
A large number of similar plots instantly emerged in Yang Yu's mind.
If the plot proceeds as normal, and the mastermind is not stopped in time, it will either summon an irresistible existence or become an irresistible existence.
Crushing for the source is a race against time. If things go wrong, failure will probably be GAME OVER.
"However you escaped, it doesn't matter. We followed the rescue team up here. Because they encountered traps and attacks from goblins, the rescue team is now resting here and waiting for reinforcements, and they sent me to conduct reconnaissance. Do you have any valuable intelligence? For example, who is the mastermind behind this, and where is their specific base?"
"Sent you for reconnaissance?" A hint of surprise flashed in Secamens' eyes, but he quickly accepted the fact. "They sent you instead of scouts responsible for reconnaissance. It seems that they really trust you."
"Now is not the time to discuss this kind of thing. Answer my question."
Don't think I'll be happy if you flatter me. You're just an NPC, but you're really unambiguous when it comes to snatching monsters.
After finally seeing the goblin reaching his kill line, Yang Yu was just about to free his hands to finish him off, but Secamens would always come over and stab it to death with one shot, finishing him off accurately.
Among all the NPCs, he was the one who stole the most monsters and was the most diligent. Yang Yu almost suspected that this guy, Sekamens, was sent by the game specifically to target him and steal the last hits.
"I can understand your anxiety. My intuition also tells me that something bad is about to happen."
Trying to build a good relationship but being rejected, Secamens smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Unfortunately, we don't have any substantial intelligence. We haven't even seen the mastermind behind the goblins. We only know that many elite goblins often go in and out of a large wooden house. When they leave, they are always very respectful. I guess the mastermind is hiding there. As for their camp, we just escaped from there. Do you have a map?"
Yang Yu took out the map and Sekamens drew a circle on it.
"They set up camp here. In addition to a lot of goblins defending it, their camp is also full of traps. We suffered a lot when we escaped. You must be careful."
The mastermind behind the scenes was more cautious than expected. Yang Yu wiped his chin and looked at the task of attacking the source again.
He alone probably couldn't do anything to the mastermind. As expected, he still had to rely on the collective strength, but if he relied too much on the team's strength, he probably couldn't complete the task of destroying the source without the final blow.
Yang Yu asked, "Any other information?"
Secamens shook his head. "That's all I know. If possible, can you take me to see the rescue team? Although I don't know the location of all their traps, I still remember the way to escape. It will definitely come in handy."
Yang Yu waved his hand, "You and your teammates are very tired, and you are of no use. You should take your teammates back to rest as soon as possible!"
Yang Yu's decisive refusal caught Sekamens off guard.
Yang Yu had no choice. Except for Secamens, everyone in Secamens' Silver Wind team had low health, insufficient stamina and mana, and had the fatigue DEBUFF. It would be a waste if he took them into the battle.
Although it can be treated with herbs and priests, the cost of treatment is too high and not cost-effective.
The pastors of the rescue team were probably busy treating the wounded who had just been wounded in the battle and didn't have the time to spend more effort on treating them.
Yang Yu's herbs can restore a lot of HP, but very few can restore physical strength. Yesterday, he used too many herbs to upgrade the battle, and he basically emptied out all the herbs in the store that can restore physical strength.
Yang Yu had already decided to use the remaining herbs for restoring strength on the boss, so it was inconvenient to share them.
"But." Secamens was unwilling to give up. This was the first time he was in such a mess after so many years of debut. If he couldn't see those goblins suffer with his own eyes, he would never give up easily. "Let me go with you! With me here, I can reduce your losses. I still have the strength. Even if I'm alone, let me go with you."
Yang Yu sighed, "Indeed, you are in better condition than them, but you will inevitably encounter danger in the forest. You should save your energy to protect your teammates."
Secamens looked at the team. His team was much more tired than he had imagined. As the captain, he really couldn't abandon the lives of his team members.
"I know."
Before Secamens could finish his words, Qi took over the conversation.
"Brother Yang Yu, thank you very much for saving me. But I think it's better to let the captain follow you. The goblin camp is far more dangerous than you think. There are many hidden traps. I have discovered them all and informed the captain. He will definitely be able to use them."
"Although the captain is indeed a little arrogant sometimes, his strength is unrivaled. With him, you will have more fighting power." Tiebi said.
"[Healing]" Rococo raised his hand and used up the last bit of mana and stamina to perform the healing spell, which brought back a little bit of Secamens' stamina and HP. He then used the Great Decisive Spell, "Captain, you must rescue them. Don't let those adventurers suffer any more."
"You all..." Sekamens' eyes were moist. He had wanted to give up, but he didn't expect that all the members of the team gave him the greatest support.
Seeing all these scenes playing out before his eyes, Yang Yu felt too embarrassed to refuse Secamens' suggestion and shared some of the herbs he had with the Silver Wind team.
“Most of the goblins should be gathering on the road our rescue team is heading. As long as we are careful, there shouldn’t be too much danger outside the forest.
I will accept your proposal this time, but I must warn you that you must curb your arrogance. The strength of our opponent is unknown. Remember not to lose the big picture because of a momentary impulse."
"yes!"
Secamens was smiling happily, and Yang Yu just prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he would not come to steal his monsters again, especially the last boss.
After accepting Secamens's joining, Yang Yu found Bai Jin, who had been unable to speak, and whispered something in her ear, asking her to be responsible for leading the Silver Wind team to bypass the field of vision and safely reach the outskirts of the forest.
In addition, Yang Yu specially handed He Meng, who had been paddling, to Bai Jin, and threatened He Meng with a smile, asking it to absolutely protect Bai Jin.
"You are the one who signed the contract with me. I want to protect you. Why do you want me to protect others?"
He Meng wanted to refuse, but Yang Yu offered too much. She could only eat the four-leaf clover sweetly and accept Yang Yu's proposal with disgust.
