Another day, the six of them passed through the portal again. This time, Chu Shi chose springs, some heavy weapons, and other equipment.
After passing through the portal to this world of magic once more, and after some modifications, the vehicle's suspension was fitted with springs, and a machine gun was installed.
"Today, we'll cross that mountain range and check out the mountains on the other side."
And today, as they passed the horses again, the white horse followed for a distance. This time, the white horse ran further than yesterday.
The off-road vehicle drove to the foot of the mountain, and after a difficult climb, they finally reached the other side.
On the other side of the mountain was a forest.
As the off-road vehicle drove into the forest, the atmosphere inside the vehicle changed. Everyone became vigilant of their surroundings.
Ye Fan looked at the environment around him and said, "Everyone be careful. I can sense some malicious intent towards us."
Everyone in the vehicle became even more alert, scanning their surroundings.
At this moment, as the vehicle moved, the weeds on the path ahead became denser.
After driving for a while longer, a tree lay across the road ahead. The off-road vehicle couldn't drive over it, and the surrounding trees were dense, making it impossible for the vehicle to proceed.
"Stay alert and shoot immediately if you detect danger!" Chu Shi commanded.
As soon as Chu Shi finished speaking, a large group of small, humanoid creatures wielding wooden clubs rushed out from both sides of the fallen tree. These creatures had green skin.
It was clear these creatures intended to attack Su Han and the others.
"Fire!" Chu Shi shouted.
"Pew pew pew!"
Bullets constantly struck the surrounding creatures, and they fell one by one.
Soon, all the creatures around them were down.
"What kind of creatures are these?" Zi Han asked.
Upon seeing their green skin and height of about 1.2 meters, Su Han said, "These creatures are goblins."
"Goblins? These are goblins? Why are they attacking us?" Zi Han asked.
"It's simple, these goblins want to eat us," Su Han replied.
Chu Shi deployed a small drone to scout the surrounding area.
Ye Fan and Xiao Yan took out their entrenching tools and began chopping at the fallen tree.
As Ye Fan chopped the tree, he said, "This tree fell recently. The goblins pushed it down. These goblins are quite cunning."
"These goblins are just beasts."
As the small drone flew above the trees, it quickly detected dozens of goblins approaching from about a hundred meters away.
Upon seeing the small drone, they picked up stones and threw them at it.
Chu Shi maneuvered the small drone to avoid the stones thrown by the goblins and then increased its altitude.
"These goblins have some intelligence; they can attack. At this rate, perhaps in tens of thousands of years, these goblins could develop civilization!"
The drone continued to fly, and soon it captured footage of a very tall goblin. The regular goblins beside it were between 1 to 1.2 meters tall, while this goblin stood at 2.5 meters.
Moreover, other goblins were following closely behind this one.
"It seems this goblin is their leader."
The giant goblin also looked up at the small drone in the sky.
Then, the giant goblin bent down and picked up a stone.
Chu Shi had already increased the altitude of the small drone.
The giant goblin's stone missed the small drone.
Subsequently, the giant goblin threw several more stones, but none of them hit the small drone.
The giant goblin decisively gave up on attacking the drone, let out a roar, and charged forward.
The goblins behind it also followed, charging forward.
Their path led directly towards Su Han's group.
"A large group of goblins is heading this way!" Chu Shi announced.
Thirty seconds later, the figures of the goblins could be seen in the depths of the forest.
"Pew pew pew!"
Bullets rained down.
Goblins fell one after another.
"Roar..."
The giant goblin also died under the barrage of bullets.
Then, Su Han and the other five continued their advance.
The small drone flew overhead, keeping watch on the surroundings.
As the vehicle drove, they encountered numerous goblin attacks, but under the storm of bullets, all the goblins were eliminated.
"This road through the forest is almost at its end," Chu Shi said.
"This road is about fifty kilometers long. It's quite a large forest," Xiao Yan remarked.
As Xiao Yan was driving, he had also roughly estimated the distance they had covered.
At this moment, Chu Shi suddenly said, "Xiao Yan, accelerate. There's something up ahead."
Xiao Yan didn't ask what was happening and floored the accelerator. The vehicle's speed immediately increased from sixty kilometers per hour to eighty.
Those sitting in the vehicle felt the bumps more intensely because the road in the forest was rougher than the one on the grassland.
"What's going on?" Su Han looked towards the screen.
Upon seeing it, Su Han was speechless. Do protagonists always encounter such things when going to another world?
...
At this moment, on the edge of this forest.
Two elven children were collecting mushrooms from the trees.
They were communicating in the elven language.
"Sister, look, there's a mushroom here."
"There's a mushroom here too."
"If we collect these mushrooms and take them back, Mom will surely praise us."
At this moment, a small object flew by in the distant sky.
"Sister, look, what's that flying thing?"
"Perhaps it's some kind of flying magical artifact."
...
"Howl, howl..."
A few howls were heard, and then several goblins rushed out.
Some of these goblins held wooden clubs, while others were empty-handed.
"It's goblins! Run!"
The two elven children hastily fled into the distance.
The goblins behind them gave chase.
The two elven children had only run a short distance before the goblins caught up. One goblin swung its hand, sending its sister flying.
The older sister quickly pulled her sister forward a bit. This small gap prevented the goblin from hitting her sister directly, but it did hit the basket in her sister's hand.
The basket holding the mushrooms flew out, and the force of its expulsion caused her sister to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the older sister immediately returned to shield her sister.
"Hehehe..."
One of the goblins seemed to let out a laugh.
The goblins around them slowly closed in.
The elven sisters looked at the surrounding goblins, despair filling their hearts: Are we going to die here?
The foremost goblin raised its club and swung it down towards the elven sisters.
Just as the elven sisters thought they were about to die.
"Bang!"
The foremost goblin fell to the ground.
"Whoosh..."
An off-road vehicle rushed out from the side and stopped in front of the elven sisters.
"Pew pew pew!"
Bullets rained down.
The goblins fell one after another.
In just a few seconds, all the goblins in the vicinity were eliminated.
One person from the vehicle said, "Are you two injured?"
