……

During the pursuit, Isaac opened the golden vertical line between his eyebrows, revealing an eye with a sun-shaped pattern, and stared intently at the fleeing goblin leader.

The two were more than ten meters apart, and the enemy was fleeing at a fast pace, making it difficult for Isaac to catch up.

[A surge of action]

Activating a combat skill that consumes a lot of energy, his running speed increased significantly, and he quickly caught up with the earth spirit.

The earth shaman heard the approaching footsteps and turned around abruptly, his face contorted with rage.

[Burning Hand]

The chieftain's scepter replaced hand gestures for casting spells, and magical flames surged from the scepter's head, forming a massive cone-shaped curtain of fire that surrounded the pursuers.

Enveloped in magical flames, Isaac endured the burning sensation on his skin, raised his shield to shield his face, and charged forward, arriving in front of the goblin.

"You wretched humans, take this!"

This is the goblin's smooth little combo: first, attack the enemy with magic, then switch to melee attack when you get close, swinging the heavy scepter to smash the enemy's knee.

As long as you hit the target successfully, even if you don't kill them, you can escape without any problem.

A dull thud rang out, and the scepter struck successfully, but unfortunately, it was dodged; it hit the thigh, not the knee.

"Ouch, that really hurts!"

The orange-red magical flames dissipated, revealing a face twisted with extreme rage beneath the shield.

"You filthy goblin, why don't you just die already!"

His leather armor was still relatively intact, but his linen clothes were burned to shreds. His heart was pounding, and the rapid running had raised Isaac's body temperature to an unbelievable level.

In the state of bloodline rampage, the strength attribute also temporarily jumped from 17 points to 18 points, reaching the physical limit of an ordinary human, comparable to a raging brown bear.

Chop it down hard!

There were no fancy skills, only a violent slash with 18 points of strength, the blade tearing through the air and creating a gust of wind.

The goblin tried to defend himself with his scepter, but the scepter broke in the middle, and his chest, beneath his leather armor, was cleaved open by a heavy scimitar.

"Ah~"

The goblin, who was not yet dead, let out a painful howl. After all, he was not a proper warrior, and his melee ability was far inferior to that of the divine warriors.

Despite the pain in his leg, Isaac kicked the goblin to the ground and then pressed his knee down on him. Even though the goblin struggled desperately, his head was still severed.

"call!"

Isaacson breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead covered in sweat. His thigh, which had been hit hard, really hurt. Fortunately, the bones and muscles strengthened by the Sun Disc were tough and strong enough that there were no fractures or serious injuries.

As for the magical flames, they didn't have a good killing effect on him either. Isaac's solar bloodline fire resistance was maxed out, and it was difficult to cause substantial damage without prolonged burning.

After searching the goblin's body, they found nothing of value except two gold coins. They could only pick up the goblin's head and limp away.

------

When Isaac returned to the original battle area, the Sandblade Adventurer Team's battle had already ended, and the desert giant lizard was devouring the hyena's carcass.

The female druid tied another hyena carcass to her animal companion. Monitor lizards are scavengers, so the hyena carcass could serve as a source of sustenance, and there was no need to worry about it rotting in the heat.

When Antontans and the others saw him return unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief, even though he looked a little disheveled.

"Your leg is injured?"

"It's alright."

Isaac threw the goblin's head on the ground, then took out two gold coins and handed them over.

"These are the spoils of war. What about the rest of the goblins?"

"Five goblins escaped, but we didn't chase after them."

Antontans accepted the gold coins. According to the rules of adventure, one does not have to share the loot after killing an opponent alone. However, the goblin cannot be considered to have been killed by Isaac alone, so the loot can be divided together when they return.

The Sandwalkers cut off the goblin's ears, which they could exchange for a bounty at the Adventurers' Guild when they returned to Shahramon.

To prevent the goblin population near the city-state from becoming too large, the city hall issued a commission to the adventurers' guild. As long as the goblin ear is presented as proof, a reward of 3 silver coins can be obtained for each goblin killed.

The high goblin is more expensive, and you can get a reward of 9 silver coins, which is equivalent to three ordinary goblins.

There are quite a few goblins in the desert, so many goblin slayers buy the locations of goblin tribes from information brokers and make a living by hunting goblins.

Of course, there are also many who have had their mishaps. Don't underestimate goblins. Behave yourself when you encounter big goblins and bear goblins.

Antontans stuffed all the goblin ears into a burlap sack and then into the pack on the camel's back.

Although the Sandwalkers suffered no casualties in the battle, they were all wounded.

After treating their wounds on the spot, the group continued on their way.

……

Traveling for long periods in the desert and Gobi is an activity that severely tests one's willpower.

Because when you look up, all you see is endless yellow sand in every direction, which can easily lead to mental fatigue.

Add to that the extreme temperature fluctuations, and it could drive any adventurer visiting the desert for the first time crazy. Even seasoned veterans like Isaac, after traveling for two or three days, would become silent and their emotions would become somewhat irritable and restless.

In the Sandblade Adventurer Group, a female member and Antontans sought a secluded corner to vent their emotional stress, and the others had already gotten used to it.

The female druid hinted at the tall and mighty Isaac several times, but was ignored, and finally approached the young wanderer.

This behavior was nothing unusual for the open-minded Shahramun; even the nobles in the upper city had the custom of exchanging "maids," continuing the "fine" tradition of the nomadic period.

The adventure did not go smoothly. On the second night, a sandstorm trapped the adventure team in the Gobi Desert.

The sandstorm lasted for more than an hour before it finally dissipated, leaving everyone covered in sand and looking quite helpless.

Fortunately, the bad luck finally passed. On the morning of the third day, after surveying the surroundings, the group discovered that they had finally arrived near their destination.

From a distance, I could see the dilapidated temple of the goddess of the wilderness. Most of the buildings were ruins, while a small portion retained their basic structure.

This made Isaac very suspicious that there might be some treasure left behind inside, and he didn't want to have made a wasted trip.
