I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 134 The Fanatical Kobolds

When Gru's face was once again illuminated red by the magnificent firelight, he finally remembered when this familiar scene had last occurred.

That day, he used his family's secret combat technique, "Vertical Slash," to kill an adult burrowing worm.

then.

He witnessed the dragon's breath.

Similar distance, similar sound, similar firelight.

Absolutely not wrong.

This is dragon's breath!

Gru suddenly became excited, pointed to the distant firelight, and exclaimed, "That's ten gold coins! A genuine ten gold coins!"

"what?"

Maeve didn't understand and looked at Wilder in confusion. "What is Mr. Gru talking about?"

"Hmm—he means that's dragon's breath."

Wilder explained with a smile, "We recently discovered dragon breath in the border forest, reported the information to the association, and received a reward of ten gold coins."

"So that's how it is."

Maeve nodded. "So, that means we'll get ten gold coins this time too?"

"It's hard to say."

Wilder shook his head. "We can't be sure if it's dragon's breath yet, and we can't confirm the exact coordinates of the burning area, so we won't get the reward."

Lyle narrowed his long, narrow eyes and interjected, "At this distance, the fire should be deep in the forest."

"Then it's better not to go," Cyrion said. "We've made quite a bit of money lately; there's no need to risk our lives for ten gold coins."

The heart of the forest is inherently fraught with danger.

The appearance of what appears to be dragon's breath-like flames only adds to the danger.

"We're not going."

Gru sighed.

However, because of the impending eradication of the kobolds, he wasn't too discouraged.

"Little guy, then hurry up and send your kobold friend to help us—"

He shifted his gaze from the distant, burning forest to Wilder, then suddenly paused: "Wait a minute? Where are your two kobold friends?!"

"Um?"

Wilder was taken aback, only then realizing that they were indeed gone.

Not only was the one sent back to the cave to gather its companions gone, but the one that stayed behind to help them explore the cave for a while also disappeared.

Looking up again, I could see their backs not far away.

Under the dazzling red light, they are running wildly.

Wilder frowned.

Less than five minutes have passed since the spell was cast, so the effect of [Quick Friendship] is definitely not over yet.

How did they break free from the spell's control?

Upon closer inspection, he discovered something even stranger.

The two kobolds were not heading towards their lair, but towards the south side of the dense forest.

That is, the direction from which the dragon's breath was suspected to have erupted.

Not right.

If the two kobolds break free from the spell "Quick Friendship," they should theoretically only react in one of two ways.

First, they launched an attack on Wilder, who was casting the spell.

Second, they rushed back to their nest to call for reinforcements.

But why are they running towards the forest fire?

Could it be that...?

"Well, not only will we not get our reward, but now it's also hard to get into the kobold cave."

Gru put his long-handled battle axe on the ground and sighed, "It would have been better if this fire hadn't been lit at all!"

"Just catch another one to lead the way, won't that solve the problem?"

As Lyle spoke, he glanced at the entrance to the kobold cave, his narrow eyes squinting into slits. "It's daytime now, and these beasts are all sleeping in their dens. Who's coming out?" Gru replied.

"That's not necessarily true."

Lyle stared at the cave entrance and suddenly said to the team, "Something is coming out of the cave."

The crowd turned their gazes toward the cave entrance with puzzled expressions.

Will the kobolds appear?

The kobold that was bewitched by Wilder just now didn't go back to report!

Joffrey's ears twitched, and he said softly, "Something is definitely coming out."

The best eyesight and the best hearing in the team said the same thing, so this time we couldn't help but believe it.

The team members stared at the cave entrance, adopting a defensive posture.

Wilder had already raised his staff, preparing to unleash the [Greasy Spell].

Just then.

A reddish-brown head suddenly popped out of the cave entrance.

It's really out!

"The plan remains the same."

Wilder said softly, "I'll cast Grease in a bit, combined with Burning Hand. If anyone tries to escape, you're in charge of stopping them."

"it is good."

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, the first kobold had crawled out of the cave completely intact.

Wilder's [Greasy Technique] was ready, but he didn't release it immediately.

According to his plan, he would wait until all thirty kobolds in the cave had crawled out and gathered together before unleashing the [Greasy Spell] to control them all.

Then use [Burning Hand] to burn them all.

We have to wait a little longer —

However, the plot was not quite what he had imagined.

When the first kobold crawled out of the cave, it did not stay in place to wait for its kind, but rushed out towards the dense forest to the south without hesitation.

"?"

Wilder froze, still not casting a spell.

Immediately afterwards, a second kobold crawled out of the hole.

Just like the previous one, it didn't linger at the cave entrance and charged frantically toward the direction where the firelight appeared to the south.

The third one, the fourth one —

This is all the case.

Later, the kobolds still underground became increasingly impatient, and two or three of them began to squeeze out of the hole.

After crawling out, they staggered and tumbled along, as if they had lost their minds, rushing towards the south side of the dense forest.

"How do we do this?"

Wilder hesitated to cast a spell, but more than ten kobolds had already emerged.

We can't put any more in.

He decisively waved his staff, and a thick cloud of oil mist instantly gathered in front of the cave entrance.

【Greasy Techniques】

fall!

Less than two seconds after the grease fell to the ground, the crystals on the hazelwood staff began to glow again.

[Burning Hand]

The next second, a burst of scorching flame shot out and sprayed onto the grease on the ground at an extremely fast speed.

The entrance to the kobold's cave was instantly engulfed in flames.

However, since each kobold rushed into the dense forest as soon as it emerged from the cave, the [Greasy Spell] only managed to control three of them, swallowing them whole into the sea of ​​fire.

The remaining kobolds who had just emerged from the burrow ignored the sea of ​​fire in front of their own house, circled around the fire-free area, and charged back towards the dense forest to the south.

"What's going on?"

Wilder muttered something to himself.

Logically speaking, with the fire right at their doorstep, these beasts should either put out the fire or find the arsonist.

Why do you only know how to run that way?

"It seems that the fire over there really is dragon's breath."

Cyrion's voice turned somber. "These beasts are the most fanatical worshippers of dragons; they've probably caught a whiff of dragons."

The entire team unanimously turned their gaze towards the distant dense forest.

The flames continued to engulf the forest, turning the horizon crimson.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts were almost identical.

there----

Is there really a dragon now?
