Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 137 Battle Rules
As for the lower-level adventurers near River Valley Town, they may possess strength far beyond that of ordinary goblins and be able to deal with multiple goblins on their own.

If the environment and timing are right, this number could even double.

But when the number of goblins reaches thirty, fifty, or even three digits.

Even a team of four experienced adventurers could only escape in a panic in many cases.

Before gaining a professional level and raising one's combat power to a certain level, few people can deal with so many enemies at the same time - even if they are just green-skinned goblins that are slightly larger than wild dogs.

To put it more extremely, even if hundreds of goblins stand still and allow you to chop them all down at once, most people would be exhausted and close to collapse.

But Shanan is different.

The outstanding endurance enhanced by the attribute points allows him to use combat skills at a high frequency without considering the consumption; and the skill combination of [Tooth Hunting] and [Spin Slash] gives him the ability to attack a large area while maintaining high-speed displacement.

It is not a cramped cave with dim light, nor are there the troublesome trees that are everywhere in the forest.

The place where he was now was a vast plain that stretched as far as the eye could see in the countryside.

Almost all the conditions are met for it to fully exert its strength.

In this situation, if you want to push Xia Nan to the limit, if the enemy only has these green-skinned rats, the number required will be very large.

At least the hundred or so in front of us...are not enough.

As flesh and broken limbs continued to splash out in the green tide like a meat grinder, it was visible to the naked eye that the density of the goblins that had originally gathered together due to gaps in the battle line had dropped significantly.

As a result, the defensive pressure on the surrounding villagers was also reduced a lot, and they were quickly restored under the command of Adeline and the village chief.

A few cheers could be faintly heard from the crowd. It was obviously because of Xia Nan's brave performance in facing the goblins that these villagers, who had always been able to only passively defend themselves when facing dangerous monsters, felt encouraged and inspired.

But Xia Nan did not feel relieved or proud because of this.

Because he could clearly feel that in the face of his wanton killing, those cowardly goblins who should have been suppressed by his strength were gradually losing their will to fight.

Still maintaining the extremely excited and crazy state at the beginning, people rushed towards him from all directions without any intention of retreating.

The reason for this is most likely not that they are some enhanced variant of the goblins.

It was because of the leader of the green goblins who was at the edge of the battlefield and had not moved since the battle began.

"Boom!"

A sharp whistle that tore through the air, mixed with an eerie shrill sound like a baby crying, suddenly came from behind him.

The timing was exceptionally tricky.

It happened that Xia Nan used [Spin Slash] after moving, and the moment the long sword was swung out, his body was in a position that had not yet recovered after exerting force.

Alarm bells rang in my heart.

His extremely high fighting talent made him almost instinctively continue the chopping action, even with more force.

The thick leather boots on his feet left deep footprints on the grass.

The heavy metal sword, driven by inertia, caused the body to rotate 270 degrees in an instant.

While pulling the beheading sword back in front of him, he faced the direction where the whistling sound came from.

Extremely fast!

Only a cold white shadow swirling at high speed flashed in the sight.

next second.

"boom!"

Dazzling sparks bloomed from the surface of the iron-gray sword.

Xia Nan only felt a very strong force suddenly coming from the hilt of the sword in his hand, extending from his wrist and forearm all the way up to his shoulder. The highly penetrating force disappeared in the obstruction of flesh and bones.

Then, there were waves of unstoppable numbness and soreness.

Whoosh——

The hair around his ears swung violently, and the strong wind stung his cheeks.

The white shadow that was originally aimed at the back of his head was blocked by his long sword due to Xia Nanling's quick action.

The remaining force remains unchanged, it just changes the trajectory of the flight.

Amid the whistling sound of a baby crying, it brushed past Xia Nan.

It smashed two unlucky goblins to death and then plunged diagonally into the meadow.

It was only then that he saw clearly the true form of the white shadow that contained such exaggerated power—

It was the pale hollow bone stick that the red-maned bear goblin was carrying on his shoulder.

Look back suddenly!

As expected, he always lingered like a shadow in everyone's heart during the battle, an object of deep fear.

The bear goblin, who was extremely strong and had a red mane on his back, finally moved!

He didn't care about the weapon he had thrown out and fell into the goblins.

It just stared in the direction where Shanan was.

Inhale,

Breath...

Long, powerful white smoke gushed out from between the teeth, almost condensing into a long snake in the rain and fog.

Take a step.

A dark green thick liquid mixed with mud and water from plant stems oozed out from between the toes, and the grass was lifted up like a green carpet.

The thick fur trembled as the body moved, and the muscles squirming and swelling underneath could be vaguely seen.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Although far away, the footsteps like the sound of drums can be clearly heard through the ear canal into the cranial cavity, resonating with the rushing blood like a heartbeat.

From slow to fast.

One step, two steps...

The span of his legs, which were as thick as young trees, became larger and larger, and his arms, which were filled with muscles, swung back and forth more frequently.

Then, a dark red flame rose from the center of his chest.

Wrapping its entire body, the flames swayed and merged into the airflow caused by its high-speed movement.

"will die!"

This was the first thought that came to Xia Nan’s mind.

The burly figure in front, wrapped in energy, is like a burning tank. Anything that dares to block its path will be crushed by the tracks formed by its muscles and turned into nutrients to nourish the land.

He suddenly exerted force with his legs, and an illusory wolf shadow appeared around his body.

[Tooth hunter], [Tooth hunter], [Tooth hunter].

Driven by his survival instinct, he used [Tooth Hunting] three times in a row in a very short period of time.

The figure that was originally among the goblins instantly retreated to the outside of the village, close to the edge of the battlefield.

And because of the residual influence of the "taunt" skill, he had to stop.

At the same time, driven by the dark red flames, the bear goblin, whose speed was getting faster and faster, finally rushed into the center of the battlefield.

It was a bit unexpected that the other party's target didn't seem to be him, and he didn't follow him.

This also allowed Xia Nan to catch his breath, quickly recover his strength, and witness the entire process of the opponent crashing into the battlefield.

In the eyes of the bugbear, there seemed to be no difference between humans and goblins.

It didn't care about the goblin minions on the road ahead that it had led out of the forest.

Just ruthlessly crush them into a pool of minced meat.

And Redmane's already sturdy body makes its killing range far beyond the ordinary.

However, in just a few seconds, the number of green-skinned goblins crushed by him like wild dogs on the roadside was close to the total number killed by the villagers before.

Without stopping at all, it crashed straight into the defense line that the villagers had just repaired, carrying the corpses and debris along the way behind it.

The trench with traps was crossed in one step. The hardwood that had become tougher after being baked by the flames was as fragile as a piece of wet paper in the face of the attack of the bugbears.

With just the slightest contact, it was easily torn apart, turning into shattered and scattered fibers and wood chips.

The villagers who were holding up the fence with all their strength couldn't hold out for even a second.

There was a loud "bang" and then he was blown away by the huge force like an explosion and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

The front line, which had been holding out for a long time against hundreds of goblins, collapsed in an instant. The goblins rushed in with screams, pounced on the fresh flesh and blood that was jumping around.

For a moment, wailing, roaring, and screaming filled the air along with flames and thick smoke.

Unable to restrain his strength, Chizong slowed down after destroying the fence and finally crashed into a wooden house near the village entrance, with his body buried in the rubble.

His eyes swept over the tragic traces left behind by the other party as he rushed forward.

"Made."

Xia Nan cursed inwardly and became even more alert.

But his body had already rushed towards the direction of the bear goblin.

Being controlled by "taunt" and unable to escape, the only way to end the battle in a short period of time is to defeat the opponent.

There is no need to fight, just from the force felt when blocking the bone stick just now, it can be judged:

The red-maned bear goblin is far more powerful than himself and others.

If you want to repel or even kill the enemy, you must gather your strength.

Using their team's numerical advantage, they attacked...

"Hmm? Don't!"

Approaching rapidly, Xia Nan was searching for Adeline, Berg and the others at the same time. Before he could arrive, he saw a muscular figure who had already taken the lead and arrived in front of the ruins of the wooden house where the bear goblins were buried.

It's Adeline.

At this moment, although she was covered with a lot more blood and dust than before, she was not seriously injured.

In his hand, he held two kerosene bombs.

Seeing this, Xia Nan felt relieved.

Right now on the battlefield, the only two people capable of dealing with the bear goblins head-on are himself and the other party.

If Adeline gets impatient and attacks alone, she will be severely injured by the enemy and lose her ability to fight.

If I were the only one left, the pressure would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

After all, ever since Redmane appeared, Adeline's whole condition suddenly became abnormal, as if she had seen some enemy.

Just now, he even thought about staying alone and letting the others escape.

Fortunately, he remained calm at the moment and knew not to act rashly. He first used remote means to test the situation, and then...

"boom!"

The turbid dust, mixed with splattered grease, suddenly exploded in a flash of fire, turning into a raging flame that set the entire wooden house on fire.

hold head high--

Roars erupted from the depths of the ruins, and flaming pieces of wood were thrown out violently.

A burly figure could be vaguely seen rising up and roaring in the flames.

Then there was a layer of deafening sound waves that suppressed the flames, and a ferocious figure covered in flames rushed out amid the explosion with a reaction ability far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Even though she was holding two hammers and had made all the preparations, the appearance of the enemy she had been looking for for many years still made Adeline's heart boil with emotions.

To the point that he lost the caution that he should have as a captain.

She clearly remembered that the bear goblin that attacked the village and killed her relatives many years ago had a more robust body than its peers and a special red mane.

He was also surprised at the opponent's extraordinary ability to break through the defense line and enter the battlefield in an instant.

It was for this reason that he did not move forward, but instead used kerosene bombs to try to reduce the opponent's physical strength.

But what she didn't expect was that Chimane, who was being burned by the flames, actually possessed such amazing explosive power.

The scorching wind rushed across his cheeks, and he instinctively raised the hammer in his hand upwards, his eyes gently closed due to the stimulation of the burning flames.

Open your eyes again.

The ruins of the wooden house that had been engulfed by the flames had disappeared.

Instead, there were Chizong's turbid eyes filled with violence and bloodlust.

Severe pain came from all over the body and my consciousness became dizzy.

His legs left the ground and the scenery on both sides quickly receded.

"boom!"

Adeline's body flew backwards like a sack under the charge of the bugbear.

It rolled to the ground in the smoke and dust.

His chest was still rising and falling, but his eyes could no longer be opened.

"grass!"

Xia Nan stopped and glanced at Adeline, who was not far away and had lost her ability to fight just as the battle began.

Gritting his teeth secretly.

The dark eyes reflected the burly figure surrounded by fire in front of him.

His brain was working rapidly, and as his thoughts raced, countless battle plans flashed through his mind, but were then eliminated one by one.

How to win?
How can I survive?
"Boss!!!"

Abi's shouts came from not far away, but were soon drowned out by the goblin's screams.

The collapsed defense line allowed hordes of goblins to rush into the village.

Death, roar,

What is happening at this moment between the villagers and these ferocious monsters is the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Xia Nan tightly grasped the iron-gray beheading sword with both hands.

Staring at the bear goblin in front.

Even if raindrops drip from my eyelashes, I dare not blink.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in sight.

It's Berg.

His face was pale and his eyes were wandering, showing obvious anxiety and panic.

He seemed to be attracted by the sound, but after seeing the situation on the field, he subconsciously stayed where he was.

Holding a wooden longbow in his hand, the arrow flashing with cold light was already on the bowstring.

At the beginning of the journey, the memory of defeating the bear goblins emerged in my mind.

"Then give it a try!"

beep—

Xia Nan suddenly whistled.

Berg, who was far behind the bear goblin, noticed that he had just arrived.

The two looked at each other.

Xia Nan felt that he had made his meaning clear through his eyes.

——He first looked at the longbow in the opponent's hand, then nodded towards Chizong, and finally pointed the sword at himself.

What this means is that Xia Nan will hold back the bear goblin, giving the other side a chance to shoot arrows.

Berg is an experienced veteran adventurer. After so many missions, he is extremely confident that the other party can understand what he means.

But surprisingly, Berg was very hesitant in the face of his proposal.

"What's the meaning!?"

Xia Nan did not wait for the other party's response.

Because the next second, the bear goblin that had just escaped from the ruins and severely injured Adeline was already rushing towards Berg.

Unlike its stupid counterparts, Redmane, who grew up under the grace of its main god "Magrubiye", possesses an IQ no less than that of humans.

There are quite a few adventurers who died at its hands.

Therefore, it certainly also knows some of the most basic but effective combat rules.

——Kill the back row first.
