Gods: Start with Goblins

Elder Tianji listened to the advice of his companions.

I felt a little relieved.
Tightly stretched.
As if ready to deal with any sudden crisis at any time.

The night is like ink,

It was so quiet that the only sounds they could hear were their own breathing and the occasional howling of wild animals in the distance.

This made the atmosphere even more tense.

They formed a circle.

Back to back,
In this way, no matter which direction there is movement,
Can be noticed at the first time.

Facing two beasts that were his natural enemies, Xiao Bai was actually full of vigilance and anxiety. The two monsters were huge, like two moving hills, with muscles tense, as if they contained infinite power. Their eyes flashed with fierce light, like the coldest stars in the night sky, revealing a heart-pounding chill, as if they would pounce on Xiao Bai at any time and tear him into pieces with their sharp claws.

Xiaobai clung to Luodan's side, its tail trembling unconsciously, revealing its inner fear. However, its eyes were extremely firm, revealing an unyielding determination. It certainly didn't want the two monsters to get any advantage, and it didn't want to see them hurt its master Luodan, the human who always had a warm smile and gave it infinite care.

"Why, it seems like you, little fox, don't want to help me at all?" Luo Dan suddenly asked back, with a bit of teasing and joking in his tone. He gently patted Xiao Bai's head, and his fingers conveyed warmth and comfort. In fact, Luo Dan didn't really blame Xiao Bai, he just wanted to tease this clever little fox and ease the tense atmosphere.

Xiaobai looked up at Luodan, with a hint of helplessness and grievance in his eyes. He used his front paws to pull at Luodan's trouser legs, as if to say, "Master, you know that's not what I meant. I'm just... just a little scared."

Luo Dan smiled, bent down, picked up Xiao Bai, and held him tightly in his arms. He said softly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Bai. I'm here, they can't hurt you. We are the best partners, aren't we?"

Xiaobai rubbed against Luodan's arms, feeling the strong chest and warm breath of his master, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually subsided. However, he still did not forget the two beasts that were staring at him. Their existence was like a sword hanging over his head, which could fall at any time.

At this moment, one of the monsters suddenly let out a deep roar, the sound was as deafening as thunder, shaking the surrounding trees. Its body suddenly rushed forward, as if it was going to pounce on Xiaobai and Luodan immediately.

Xiaobai froze in fear and grabbed Luodan's clothes tightly. Luodan, however, remained calm. He gently patted Xiaobai on the back and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's just bluffing. We just need to stay calm and we can find a way to deal with it."

As he spoke, Luo Dan drew a long sword from his waist. The sword blade flashed with cold light, revealing a chilling murderous aura. He held the hilt tightly, staring at the two monsters firmly, as if swearing to them: If you want to hurt us, you have to step over my body first!

Xiaobai looked at Luodan's determined eyes, and an inexplicable courage surged in his heart. It also jumped down from Luodan's arms and stood beside him. Although its body was still trembling slightly, its eyes became unusually firm.

At this moment, another monster also roared, its voice was even louder than the previous one, as if it was going to shatter the entire forest. Its body also leaped forward suddenly, forming a pincer attack with the first monster.

Xiaobai and Luodan looked at each other and saw the determination and courage in each other's eyes. They knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and only by uniting as one could they defeat the enemy in front of them.

Luo Dan swung the sword in his hand, the sword light was like lightning, cutting through the air, making a whizzing sound. He moved nimbly between the two monsters, sometimes swinging his sword to chop, sometimes dodging sideways. His movements were agile and fast, like a flash of lightning passing through the forest.

Xiaobai was not idle either. He used his speed and agility to shuttle back and forth at the feet of the monsters, occasionally using his sharp claws to scratch bloody marks on their legs. Although his strength was far inferior to that of the two monsters, his speed and agility caused them a lot of trouble.

The battle continued, Luo Dan and Xiao Bai tried their best. They knew that only by defeating the enemy in front of them could they protect themselves and each other. The two monsters did not show weakness either, they roared and roared, and continuously launched fierce attacks on Luo Dan and Xiao Bai...

When his master suddenly asked him a question, Xiaobai lowered his head a little embarrassedly, his ears drooped slightly, and a faint blush appeared on his face, like a ripe wild fruit in the forest. He scratched the ground with his claws, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and avoid Luodan's teasing eyes.

"Hmph, you little guy, have you learned to be shy?" Seeing this, Luo Dan curled up the corners of his mouth with a playful smile. He gently patted Xiaobai's back with just the right amount of force, which neither caused Xiaobai to feel pain nor made it feel the closeness of its owner.

Xiaobai felt Luodan's kindness, and the embarrassment in his heart also dissipated a little. He secretly raised his eyes to glance at Luodan, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he was afraid that Luodan would catch his peeping eyes. But soon, he seemed to think of something, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and that light was like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with smart brilliance.

Xiaobai suddenly raised his head, his eyes became confident, and he straightened his chest, as if to prove something to Luodan. "Do I not want to help you? I obviously do not have the ability to help you!" Xiaobai's voice was a little aggrieved, but more determined, "Look at my small body, how can I be a match for those two monsters? They are like mountains, and I was covered by their shadows when I approached." As he said that, Xiaobai also gestured, using his little claws to draw a large arc in the air, trying to depict the huge bodies of the two monsters. His movements were exaggerated and funny, making Luodan laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay, I know it's not easy for you." Luo Dan smiled and shook his head. He reached out and rubbed Xiao Bai's head. The feeling was like touching the softest cloud. "But if you rush forward without the ability, you will hinder me and may even distract me. You still have this self-awareness."

After hearing what Luo Dan said, Xiao Bai felt even more confident. He raised his head proudly, waving his little paws in the air, like a general commanding a large army: "Master, don't worry! I know what I am capable of. Come on, I will be there to encourage you and cheer you up! When you beat those two monsters to a pulp, I will rush up and kick you again to let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"

As he said that, Xiaobai actually jumped up, and his little paws drew a beautiful arc in the air, as if he was really cheering Luodan up. His movements were playful and cute, and Luodan couldn't help but bend over with laughter.

"You little guy, you really know how to make people happy." Luo Dan smiled and shook his head. He reached out and picked up Xiao Bai, holding him tightly in his arms. "But, to be honest, I always feel more at ease with you by my side. No matter how many difficulties there are ahead, as long as you are with me, I think I can make it through it."

Xiaobai felt warm in his heart after hearing Luodan's words. He snuggled in Luodan's arms, feeling the warmth and love of his master, and secretly vowed in his heart: no matter what difficulties he encountered in the future, he would always be by Luodan's side, giving him encouragement, strength, and everything he could give.

At this moment, the roars of the two monsters were heard in the distance. The sound was as deafening as thunder, and the whole forest trembled. Xiaobai and Luodan looked at each other and saw the determination and courage in each other's eyes. They knew that this was a life-and-death battle, but as long as they had each other by their side, they were fearless.

"Xiaobai, are you ready? We are going to fight together." Luodan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination. He gently patted Xiaobai on the back, as if to cheer it up.

Xiaobai nodded, his eyes also full of determination. He knew that this battle was not only for survival, but also to prove the friendship and trust between him and Luodan. He snuggled up to Luodan, as if to tell him: No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side and fight alongside you.

Luo Dan couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Bai's expression. This little fox always brought him joy and relief when he needed it most, just like a breeze that blew away the haze in his heart. Xiao Bai was waving his little paws proudly, imitating Luo Dan's encouragement just now, with a playful and proud face, as if to say: "Look, I can also be your little cheering expert!"

Luo Dan shook his head and sighed in his heart: Such a cunning little fox, I don't know whose temper he resembles. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Bai carefully. The smart eyes and cunning smile seemed to have a sense of familiarity and strangeness. "Anyway, it's definitely not like a serious master like me." He said to himself, with a helpless and doting smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiaobai seemed to understand what Luodan said. It tilted its head, blinked its eyes, and looked at Luodan innocently, as if saying, "Master, I am your little fox, of course I look like you!" As it said that, it jumped onto Luodan's shoulder and rubbed his cheek with its little head. The soft fur made Luodan feel itchy.

"You little guy, you really know how to act like a spoiled child." Luo Dan smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Bai's ears. The feeling was like touching the most delicate silk. The atmosphere between them was warm and harmonious, as if the whole world had stopped.

However, this tranquility did not last long. Before the man and the pet could continue teasing, the two monsters could no longer wait. They roared and moved, ready to pounce on Luo Dan and Xiao Bai. The roar was as deafening as thunder, making the entire forest tremble.

Luo Dan's eyes instantly became solemn. He tightly grasped the weapon in his hand. It was a long sword that flashed with cold light. There were mysterious runes engraved on the sword, revealing a chilling murderous aura. He stood in place, his figure as straight as a pine tree, like an unshakable mountain, ready to face the upcoming battle.

"Xiaobai, be careful." Luo Dan whispered, his voice was low but full of determination and strength. He knew that this battle would be a test of their friendship and trust.

Xiaobai also felt Luodan's nervousness. It stuck close to Luodan, holding his clothes tightly with its little paws, as if telling him: "Master, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

The two monsters were getting closer and closer, their eyes flashing with ferocity, as if they were going to tear Luodan and Xiaobai into pieces. Luodan took a deep breath, and he gripped the sword even harder, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Come on, let me show you how powerful we are!" Luo Dan shouted, waving the sword in his hand. The sword light was like lightning, cutting through the air, making a whizzing sound. He rushed forward with a nimble figure and started a fierce battle with the two monsters.

Xiaobai was not idle either. He used his speed and agility to shuttle back and forth at the feet of the monsters, occasionally using his sharp claws to scratch bloody marks on their legs. Although his strength was far inferior to that of the two monsters, his speed and agility caused them a lot of trouble.

During the battle, Luo Dan and Xiao Bai cooperated well, as if they were one person. Sometimes they swung their swords to chop, sometimes they dodged sideways, their movements were agile and fast. Their figures shuttled through the forest, leaving a trail of afterimages, making the two monsters difficult to grasp.

As time went by, the attacks of the two monsters became more and more fierce. They seemed to have sensed the strength of Luodan and Xiaobai and began to attack more frantically. Beads of sweat oozed from Luodan's forehead and his breathing became rapid. But he did not give up. He held the sword tightly with a determined look in his eyes.

"Xiaobai, hold on! We will definitely win!" Luo Dan shouted loudly, his voice full of strength and courage. He knew that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

Xiaobai also felt the killing intent of the monsters. The cold and cruel breath penetrated the forest like a cold wind and pierced his heart. The hair on his body stood up, and each hair was stiff as if it had been electrocuted. He clung to Luodan, as if this would bring him some sense of security. Xiaobai's heartbeat was as rapid as a drumbeat. His little claws unconsciously grasped the corner of Luodan's clothes. His eyes were fixed on the two monsters that were slowly approaching, and his eyes were full of vigilance and anxiety. (End of this chapter)
