Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 48 Reverse Hunting
Driver took out some small bone parts from his body, fiddled with them on the ground for a while, and soon he opened a trap.

This is a pit, covered with a layer of leaves. After adding some mud as a cover, its load-bearing capacity will be limited to an expected range. In addition to very small creatures, even small humanoid creatures such as goblins will step on it and fall into the pit below.

"This is used to catch people alive," Driver pointed to the empty hole below. "If they were going to die, they would bury some sharp objects."

"You are old hands at this, right?" Ivy glanced at the goblin, who just chuckled and didn't respond.

"Where are the bullywugs who set the traps? Can we find them?" Ron asked.

"Yes, this kind of thing is usually not too far away."

Driver said as he released the white rat that had been following him. After searching the ground for a while, the increasingly strong white rat pointed its head in one direction and stretched out its claws to dig at the ground.

"Not far to the northeast," Driver understood the meaning of this special action and immediately explained to Ron and the others, "Boss, what are we going to do with them?"

"Kill them," Ron thought for a moment, "They claim to be the masters of this place. If we don't drive them away, they will always come back."

"I like this!" Sera cheered up. "Carrot head, do you have any suggestions? Should we sneak over there?"

"No," Driver shook his head, "It would be easy to be discovered that way. They will definitely be able to see what's going on here directly from where they are hiding."

"So I used the cloud technique!"

From Ron and Lavinia, Driver learned the name of the spell he was going to use, and immediately cast it with the help of several people's cover. A thick cloud suddenly enveloped the trap.

Not far away, there was a faint sound of frogs croaking.

What’s going on? Is it foggy?

I don’t know, this is the time...

Just as the two wild frog hunters in ambush were talking in low voices, a scream suddenly came from the clouds.

They fell into a trap!

That's not right. Haven't they discovered the trap?
How can you see in such a thick fog? Come on, or someone else will get there first!
Then I want to present the most valuable things they have to the king!
The intelligence of the Madwugs is far inferior to that of the goblins, and is only slightly higher than that of the Lizardmen. In such a hurry, there is no way to judge the truth. Two Madwugs immediately jumped out from their hiding place and hopped towards the fog.

However, when they finally reached the trap, they found that there was nothing in the trap.

And behind their heads, a strong wind pressed down on their heads.

"Crack!"

The mist dissipated, and Sera stepped on the back of a bullywug, and used her strength to pull the axe from the bullywug hunter. She had used too much force just now, and the axe blade chopped into the opponent's spine, and was stuck in the bone. The other bullywug was ambushed by Ivy and Victoria, and his stomach was cut open by the long sword, and his internal organs flowed all over the ground.

"It's a pity that this method can't be used repeatedly," Ron looked at the two bully frogmen who didn't even have time to scream. "Driverdo's fog spell has a limit on the number of uses. If we keep clearing it like this, it will take forever."

God knows how many Bullywugs there are.

"There is another way," the goblin thought for a moment, "I can let Dabai explore the way, and after determining the opponent's exact location, we can sneak over!"

Soon, more than ten mice including Dabai were scattered out. After a while, the mice that came back from exploring the way gathered at Driver's feet, vying to report the surrounding situation.

"There are about ten more nearby, all in groups of two," Driver looked up at Ron, "It's easy to defeat those scattered like this one, but there are two groups crowded together near our base. Their vision should be able to take care of each other, which will be more troublesome."

"We'll deal with the troublesome ones later," Ron nodded. "We'll clean up from the outside inwards and deal with them last."

In the swamp, a counter-hunt against the bullshitter hunters began quietly.

The forest was by no means a quiet place, and even the friction of armor was hard to hear immediately. Moreover, for safety reasons, Driver and Sera were the main force in the vanguard, while Ivy often acted as bait and wandered around the trap.

The attention of those wild frog hunters was all on the "prey" that was about to step into the trap, completely unaware that they were the hunted.

By noon, almost all the bullshitter hunters had been eliminated, leaving only two groups still waiting to be hunted.

"I'll be responsible for attracting attention, and you guys will flank them from behind. It's best to deal with both sides at the same time." Ron signaled to the others.

"It's too dangerous!" Ivy objected. "Let me do it. Even if they rush over, I can still deal with them for a while."

"I have to cast a spell," Ron smiled. "A sneak attack is not suitable for me. It's better to just stand in the open. Okay, go and get ready."

Ron stood next to a group of Madwug traps, and seemed to be hesitating to jump into another group of traps. This indecisive behavior immediately attracted the attention of four Madwugs. After Ron saw his companions' gestures of readiness, he suddenly stood still, and a little fire lit up from his fingertips.

A flaming arrow flew out of his hand and hit the mud not far in front of a group of crazy frogmen.

It wasn't that Ron shot off target, but he wanted to let the other side know that he had discovered them, so that they would definitely rush out to hunt him by force, and his teammates could...

"Shield!" A shield magic floated around Ron, blocking the flying spear. When several crazy frogmen jumped out from their hiding place and prepared for close combat, the leaves on the trees behind one group suddenly shook violently.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The barbarian from the Ochre Tribe jumped down from the tree behind the two Madwugs. As Ron expected, she lured them from here. The Madwugs jumped two steps away, which was just the best place for her to attack. The huge axe in her hand fell from the sky with her muscular weight, pressing the two Madwugs under her. The head of one of them was close to the axe blade, and it was hit by the guillotine on the spot.
