Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 134 Group ridicule
"boom."

The body with a smashed head fell face down to the ground like a sandbag due to the inertia of the forward rush.

The air flow squeezed through the whistle, and the whistling sound of the baby's crying gradually dissipated.

The cold bone stick, with red and white liquid on its surface, smashed the head, but the remaining force was still there as it penetrated into the meadow.

The strong force transmitted from the stick caused the bone stick to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Ripples appeared in the blood, and the sound of heavy footsteps gradually became clearer.

A burly shadow covered Scar's body.

The thick palm with dense fur firmly grasped the bone stick. With just a little force, the stick was deeply inserted into the ground, and then it was easily pulled out with the splash of blood-brown mud.

This is an adult bear goblin that is obviously several sizes larger than its peers.

The thick bones support its strong muscles wrapped in thick fat. Its body is strong but not bloated. Its tough and hairy skin can even resist some damage from iron tools.

The turbid brown-red eyes revealed a fierce light, the nostrils moved with his breathing, spewing out hot breath, a pair of sharp fangs protruded from his lower lip, sticky saliva dripped slowly, and a simple necklace hung around his neck.

What is most eye-catching is the spear-like tufts of red mane on its back.

"Bugbug?"

Xia Nan stood at the entrance of the village in the distance, feeling surprised.

In his impression, the general goblin tribe would leave the misty forest to look for food, probably because they were too hungry or attracted by a passing caravan.

But if there is a leader like the bear goblins, the combat power of the entire tribe will soar under their leadership, so that they no longer have to endure hunger and can put many monsters and beasts that they could not touch before on the table.

The bugbears are lazy by nature and will not actively attack human villages unless there are special circumstances or they have accumulated a large number of goblin minions.

“It seems to be bigger than the ones we have seen before.”

Since traveling through time, Xia Nan has cleared dozens of goblin nests and seen nearly double-digit bugbears.

In this case, although there was still a distance between them, he could still clearly feel the difference between the bear goblin in front of him and its kind just by appearance.

Not only does it have a more sturdy and solid body and special bone weapons, but it also has a condensed aura that is difficult to describe in words.

Just like Abi and Berg, low-level adventurers and professionals who have completed their employment...

“Let’s go!”

Xia Nan reacted immediately.

There are no professionals in the Green Blood Squad. Even for myself, I still lack one combat skill to obtain a professional level.

Not to mention that there was a newcomer in the team who had barely killed many goblins.

Even if it is just an ordinary, common adult bear goblin, it is not something that a few people can easily deal with, and it is very likely that the team members will be seriously injured or even killed.

The strength of this creature in front of him is obviously extraordinary, and it is suspected to be an elite individual among the bear goblins.

There is no doubt that rashly engaging in a war is a foolish act that is irresponsible for one's own life safety.

He couldn't help but take two steps back and turned to look at Adeline beside him.

I'm not really worried at all.

As a veteran adventurer with far more experience than himself and who has always been responsible for the team.

Even he could tell something was wrong, so there was no reason why Adeline couldn't notice it.

As per past practice, the team will evacuate immediately.

His gaze couldn't help but pause.

Adeline's body seemed to be frozen in place by some invisible ice.

like a statue.

His eyes were fixed on the red-maned bear goblin in the distance.

There was a complex expression on his face that had never been seen since Xia Nan joined the team.

Anger, resentment, fear, timidity, sorrow... it seemed as if the sour emotions that had been brewing for countless years were instantly ignited and detonated with the appearance of the bear goblins, gushing out from the depths of the heart.

Then, it was ignited by a kind of angry flame that seemed to be visible to the naked eye, and transformed into a hard and resolute look that gleamed with metallic luster.

"There's something strange about this bugbear!"

"No, we must evacuate immediately!"

"Abby, let the old man lead the villagers to run away. Don't even think about staying. The bugbears are not something they can handle!"

Standing at the end of the team, Berg couldn't see Adeline's expression.

He also had rich adventuring experience, and he reacted instantly the next second when Scar's head was smashed and the bear goblin appeared in front of everyone.

When facing the danger posed by the gnolls in the misty forest, an uneasy and anxious expression appeared on his face again.

He didn't even care about his teammates beside him. He spoke faster and more urgently to Abby.

His body was already retreating rapidly towards the rear, away from the enemy.

"Ah? Oh oh... OK."

Abi was the slowest to react, but seeing the other party's exaggerated expression as if facing a great enemy, he did not ask any questions and ran towards the village in a panic.

But after taking only two steps, he seemed to realize something was wrong. He looked at Captain Adeline standing still in front of him and said hesitantly:
"Boss, I..."

"You go first."

A cold and resolute voice came from the air.

"Do not bother me."

Adeline didn't even turn her head, just stared at the red-maned bear goblin in the distance.

She hadn't known when her hands had clenched the two heavy hammers.

Chest rising and falling, breathing.

crunch--

It was the sound of friction and collision between the metal plates of armor.

Adeline's body was shaking.

Xia Nan had already made plans to retreat.

Although his soul comes from the modern era and he has received higher education, his worldview and values are normal.

But he believes that he is definitely not a so-called "Saint Mary".

As for the civilians in the village, I may be able to provide appropriate assistance within my ability and in accordance with my own moral values.

But faced with a dangerous situation like the current one, even Xia Nan himself may not be able to guarantee his safety.

He, who was just an adventurer passing by, was forced to risk his life for a group of strangers he had never met before.

He's not that kind.

What's more, the bear goblin is still some distance away from the village. Even if he is just an ordinary civilian, he has a chance to survive if he is not delayed by the pots and pans at home.

At most, some livestock were taken away.

Compared with life, this loss is nothing.

Instead, it was Adeline's decision that made Xia Nan feel extremely surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"What are you doing here?"

There is a clear opportunity to retreat and enough ability to escape.

But contrary to his usual behavior, he resolutely chose to stay.

Thinking about the extremely complex emotions on the other person's face, as well as the few words that he occasionally revealed during casual chats in the past few days after joining the team.

Xia Nan had a vague guess in his mind.

His tone was too firm, and I knew it was useless to persuade him.

All I can do right now is...

tick-

Suddenly, I felt a bit of coolness and moisture at the tip of my nose.

"It's raining?"

Without stopping, Xia Nan subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The sky that was clear and bright just a moment ago was now covered with dark grey clouds. Cold raindrops were falling.

The rough and long mane gradually became wet, revealing a scarlet color like blood.

The goblin bear "Redmane" stood beside Scar's body, staring with cloudy eyes at the village in the distance where there was faint noise of unrest.

This team of adventurers, who had transformed into life energy to fill the gaps in the blood sacrifice, disrupted its arrangement.

The plan is to get a little closer so that those fragile and cowardly humans will have a chance to discover themselves.

But perhaps they were blessed by the lofty God. For some unknown reason, most of the residents in the village gathered near the entrance.

There is even another team of adventurers who look quite delicious - they have stronger bodies than ordinary civilians and can provide more life energy to meet the requirements of the blood sacrifice.

"One, two... um, three and a half."

"With those villagers, it should be enough."

A fierce light flashed in Chizong's eyes, and his heart was filled with excitement about the upcoming blessing from God.

The sturdy arm suddenly stretched out to the metal chain around the neck.

“Ding bang!”

Just pull it off.

The palm of her hand tightly grasped the necklace pendant - a small gray-blue stone with the same pattern engraved on its surface as the altar in the nest.

crumb.

hum-

Scarlet blood suddenly burst out from his palms, and under the bear goblin's unfamiliar guidance, gathered at his throat.

"Crench."

The linen trousers with holes in them suddenly tightened, and the suddenly swollen and knotted muscles seemed to be about to burst them.

Inhale——

The waist and abdomen tightened, and the outline of the violently shaking muscles could be vaguely seen under the thick fat, and the chest cavity expanded like a bellows.

Dark blue blood vessels covered the thick neck like branches, and air rushed through the bloody throat, making a strange sound.

The yellow-brown sharp teeth slowly separated, revealing a red tongue with barbs inside in the sticky saliva.

Accumulate strength...

Roar!

"hold head high!!!"

A sound wave like a bomb exploded instantly, carrying with it the blood that had accumulated in his throat. Layers of sound waves whistled towards the direction of the village at an exaggerated speed that ordinary people had no time to react to.

The weeds on the ground were instantly flattened by the violent airflow, and stones and grass debris were flying around.

Xia Nan was planning to leave the place as soon as possible when he saw a flash of red light in the corner of his eye.

The next second, the bloody sound waves had crossed the space barrier and spread through his body.

At this moment, Xia Nan seemed to have suddenly returned to the strange situation a few months ago when he faced the gaze of the petrified lizard and lost his perception of the outside world for a moment, with his spirit and attention being concentrated in his body.

However, compared to that time, he only needed to control his body, using his skin, muscles and bones to resist the erosion of the petrifying force from the outside world.

At this moment, the sound waves penetrated into his mind while invading his flesh and blood.

Trying to disrupt his mind and interfere with his will.

The golden dew from the secret realm of the Snake Cave has allowed his physique to reach an "8" point that is far superior to that of ordinary people, and even stands out among the lower-level adventurers.

He didn't even need any fine control; his body blocked the erosion of the sound waves and isolated the bloody energy outside the pores of his skin.

But at the same time, Xia Nan had a very hard time resisting the blood light that invaded his mind.

The perception attribute of "5" points is not enough to help him fight against the intrusion from the outside world.

Fortunately, the recent practice of [Gravity Pressure] has slightly improved his perception ability.

Not completely lost.

I came back to my senses in an instant.

The originally quiet world was filled with shouting, cursing, and crying.

Not far in front of him, Berg, the archer who had escaped first, had stopped at some point, turned around and faced Xia Nan.

On the anxious face, in addition to the blush caused by the surging emotions in his heart and the violent movement of his legs, there was also a touch of desperate paleness.

"Why...how could..."

"No, it's impossible."

His lips moved as he murmured.

He seemed to be using his willpower to fight against his body that had been corroded by the blood and sound waves, but he was unable to move his legs.

Even the shortest inch can't be far away.

With trembling hands, like a puppet, he reached behind him and took down his wooden longbow.

Pull the string and nock an arrow.

But in just a few breaths.

He had actually changed from his original panic escape to a posture ready to fight.

"Ok?"

Xia Nan was surprised.

His brain raced, and he only had time to connect the other party's strange behavior with the sound waves of the bear goblin's roar.

More footsteps were heard in my ears.

The villagers who should have fled the village after their warning, now swarmed in from the road at the entrance of the village under the leadership of Abi.

He also held makeshift weapons such as a pitchfork and an iron pot in his hands.

It was as if they were fighting the bugbears to the death in order to protect the village.

Even Abi, who was at the front of the crowd, showed an unnatural fighting spirit on his face.

"Are they all possessed?"

Xia Nan just felt that something was very wrong.

"Weren't they evacuating? Why are they all back again?"

In the entire venue, apart from Adeline who chose to stay and fight, it seemed that I was the only one who was not affected.

and many more!

He was suddenly startled.

It was not until then that Xia Nan finally noticed.

It seems that my perspective has not moved for a long time.

His eyes couldn't help but move down.

What caught my eye were a pair of legs that stood firmly on the ground, refusing to take even a step forward no matter how hard I pushed.

I thought I was hit by some kind of control spell similar to "immobilization".

But when Shanan tried to turn around and face the direction of the bear goblin.

All restrictions seem to disappear into thin air like an illusion.

He tried to pull out the beheading sword from his back, aim it at the air in front of him, and slash it down fiercely - he was able to move.

He raised his left hand and held the dark snake-scale arm shield in front of him, simulating a defensive posture - unaffected.

Shift left and right, step forward - your body moves freely, without any restrictions.

But retreating is not an option.

His mind couldn't help but recall the bloody sound waves that had just tried to erode his will and body, as well as Berg and others' sudden change in attitude and strange movements.

Xia Nan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His eyes fixed on the burly bear goblin with red mane on its back who was still standing in the distance.

In my ears, I could hear Adeline, who had not moved from the beginning to the end, roaring with anger and fighting spirit:

"It's a group mockery!"

"Ready to fight!!!"
