Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 135 Try
The roar from Captain Adeline made Xia Nan, who had already made some guesses based on the changes in the expressions and actions of the people around him, react completely.

"ridicule?"

First of all, the first feeling in my heart...

It's ridiculous.

In my previous life, although I devoted myself to work after graduation, I played quite a few games during my student days, so I naturally knew about special skills such as "taunt" that attracted the hatred of the enemy.

But in his impression, those who use this skill are generally warrior players with excellent defensive capabilities and strong physique. The purpose is to create output space for other teammates in the team, or to pull away the enemy to reduce the pressure on teammates.

After traveling to this world and learning about the existence of "combat skills" and "magic", he had also envisioned similar abilities while training.

I even thought about how to use them to the greatest effect in battle if I or my teammates had relevant skills.

He just didn't expect that his first contact with the other party would be in this way.

"Am I a monster?"

After the absurdity, there was a chill rising from the bottom of my heart.

Thoughts are tampered with silently, indirectly controlling the body to perform strange actions that go against the original will.

It made his scalp tingle and his heart shudder.

Fortunately, Xia Nan's physical fitness, which was enhanced by the panel attribute points, and his perception ability, which was improved by extra training in recent days, helped him resist most of the erosion of external energy.

Although still affected by the "ridicule", unable to escape.

But at least he was able to realize that he was being controlled on the battlefield by some special skills from the bear goblins.

Instead of being like Abi and the ordinary villagers next to him, with faces full of passion and fighting spirit, as if they knew nothing and bravely rushed forward just to protect the village.

“Resisted, but not completely.”

On the other hand, it is also worth being thankful for.

The group taunt of the Red Maned Bear Goblins, at least for now, has no additional effects other than "taunt".

The villagers, who should have fled in panic, picked up pitchforks and hoes. Even Abi, who had never seen such a powerful enemy, ignited a fighting spirit far greater than before.

To a certain extent, it even improved their overall combat effectiveness.

Xia Nan is very clear about her body.

Full of energy and clear mind.

But when I think about retreating, I feel a strange resistance in my heart.

No other aspects were affected.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind.

As if by the body's instinct, the right leg, which had been standing firmly in place and unable to move no matter what, suddenly took a step back in the direction away from the bear goblin.

"You...you succeeded in resisting!?"

I heard Berg's surprised exclamation.

With a pale face and holding a longbow, he looked at Xia Nan in front of him in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.

In response, Xia Nan just shook his head without explaining.

And since then, he has never been able to take the second step back.

It's certainly not a coincidence.

The reason why he was able to move backwards was not because he had escaped the control of the taunt skill.

At that time, he just thought that with his own fighting style, facing physically strong enemies like the bear goblins, he might be able to achieve better results by going around the back of the village and attacking from the side.

He unconsciously took a step back.

There is no idea of avoiding the war and evacuating.

But after that, I thought I had found a loophole.

Just when he was thinking on this basis and wanted to use this mechanism to leave the battlefield with the idea of "returning to River Valley Town to recuperate and come back to fight after getting enough energy", "I am not strong enough now, I will fight the opponent after becoming a professional".

But he couldn't move his body at all. Suddenly he understood.

The bear goblin's "taunt" skill had become an invisible shackle on his consciousness after his resistance failed.

Even if you force yourself to convince yourself, retreating temporarily is for the purpose of fighting better with the enemy later.

If you have any thought of giving up, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

After all, you can't fool yourself.

And if there really is a ruthless person who can suppress the body's survival instinct with the purest will and forcibly break free from the shackles of ridicule in such an exaggerated way...

With the other party's level of mental resilience, it is impossible for him to fall into the trap.

His thoughts were running wild, and countless ideas flashed through his mind. In the real world, only a few seconds had passed since Xia Nan stopped.

"Tick, tick..."

The raindrops kept falling.

There was no sign of the rain getting heavier, but the dark, leaden clouds overhead lingered.

This cold drizzle will obviously continue for a long time.

Knowing that there is no possibility of escape, fighting is inevitable.

Xia Nan also stepped forward and came to Adeline's side.

Compared to the few people who had planned to evacuate before, the other side who had already stayed on the battlefield in the face of their enemies were not affected too much by the bear goblins' taunt spells.

The sound of footsteps behind her made her turn her head and glance.

Burning with anger, his tense face moved slightly, as if he was surprised that Xia Nan could adjust so quickly.

Faced with a powerful enemy, there was no need to say any nonsense.

He stared at the bear goblin in the distance and explained his battle strategy to his teammate, who was as powerful as him and even much stronger than him.

"I'll try my best to hold off the bugbear in a while, but I can't guarantee how long I can hold out."

"It's much stronger than most of its kind!"

"You're fast and have strong explosive power. If I can't hold on any longer, I might need your help to hold on so I can catch my breath."

The current team of four.

Abi was a newcomer to begin with, and if he rashly joined a battle of this level, he would only die. Instead, he could play a better role by staying with the villagers.
Berg... was at the back of the battlefield. He had also resisted some of the "taunting" effects and was in a very embarrassing situation.

They were neither inspired to fight like Abi and the villagers, nor could they continue their previous evacuation and were trapped where they were.

Although he was holding a longbow in his hand, he looked uneasy, his face was pale, his eyes were wandering, and he was secretly exerting force, as if he was trying hard to break free from control and escape from here.

You definitely can’t rely on it for the time being.

In the entire field, the only ones who could fight the bear goblins head-on were Adeline and Shanan.

Xia Nan had no objection to Adeline's arrangement.

He nodded in agreement, but frowned slightly, sensing the hidden meaning in the other person's words:

"We two will take care of the bugbears, but Abi and the villagers, affected by the ridicule, can't just stand by and watch. If..."

He didn't have time to finish his words.

Hiss——

A familiar sharp whistle suddenly came from the air.

He raised his head and gazed far into the distance at the dense forest behind the bugbears.

The branches and leaves were shaking violently, and the thin and hunched figures were like a pus-green fungal carpet spreading from the bushes, rushing towards the village like a tide at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Filled with stench and blood.

It has exceeded three digits, completing a qualitative change.

That was a large group of green-skinned goblins from the depths of the misty forest!
