Chapter 101: D35. Serpent Queen of the Woodlands_3

At the same time, the Gleaming Scale Serpent burst out with a brilliant light once more, leading several Goblins attempting to capture the Hero into confusion.

Not letting this opportunity slip, the Hero with a graceful and powerful posture, leaped out from the gaps in the Goblin encirclement.

Transformed into a Snake Maiden, the Hero, with a light and supple posture, used the force of the Fiendish Goblin’s strike to leap out like a fish over the dragon gate, escaping the Goblin Group’s encirclement.

Yet the impact on her legs still caused a turmoil of Magic Power inside her, and even with a body forged like steel, the feeling in her calves was numb.

Although the Gleaming Scale Serpent timely bloomed an illusion of light, causing the Goblins to fall into confusion, and allowed the Hero to land steadily, she limped into a fork in the road.

But this did not mean she was safe yet.

[Goblin distribution: Concentration (the lower the roll, the wider the spread, harder to escape, but easier to break through)]

D70+30=d70(10)+30=40

The Hero’s snake tongue flickered in and out, her ability to perceive heat sources quickly allowed her to grasp the distribution of the Goblin Group.

About half of the Goblin Group centered around the Fiendish Goblin, while the remaining half scattered nearly throughout all the sewers, all eagerly searching for her silhouette.

Concentration could mean an assault, dispersion could mean encirclement, one could say in some sense, the Goblin Group now formed an excellent military formation.

However, this special way of marching wasn’t because the Goblins understood strategy or command particularly well.

It was purely because the Goblins on the outskirts wanted to be the first to touch the girl’s smooth skin, thus, they spread out undirected.

While the central Goblins hoped to first suppress the girl with their leader’s power, then attempt to seize the opportunity.

Yet despite different approaches, leading to the same result, regardless of the Goblin Group’s rationale behind this formation, it didn’t change the fact that the Hero was surrounded.

Simply escaping from the center part of the Goblins wasn’t enough, she still had to break through the outer encirclement without being caught by the Fiendish Goblin!

[Hero’s next action—]

[Special map: Goblin Lake Town Underground Sewers LV25]

The underground sewers of the lakeside town, which were occupied by 300 brave Goblins who fled from the forest, and turned into a den for Goblins.

Being the sewers of the lakeside town, several factors were considered during their design.

In order to discharge domestic sewage to the bottom of the lake and mix with mud to form sediment, without polluting the upper water bodies, they deepened it significantly.

Also, to cope with high tides and potential torrential rains, its width and breadth were designed amply enough to allow several grown men to walk side by side.

Even without the threat of the Arcane Surge, a town established on the vast lakeshore would be easily destroyed by nature’s force without excellent underground sewer facilities.

However, the comparative design of the pipes was not so complex, being quite usual with branches merging into the main trunk.

Mage Association: "Ah, Magic Creatures? Isn’t this lake famously safe from dangerous Magic Creatures? It’s okay if the channels are a bit wider, right?"

This was the case.

[Terrain Depth (Town -50, Sewer +10)]

D40+10=d40(34)+10=44

[Breadth (Number of Goblins the main channel can accommodate (/4), Fiendish Goblin +20)]

D30+20=d30(27)+20=47/4=11

[Complexity (The more complex, the more forks)]

D80+20=d80(20)+20=40
