The demon monk in the second dimension

A beam of blue light shot from his fingertips, striking the ground beneath the goblins' feet and spreading rapidly.

As the blue light spread, a thick layer of ice solidified on the snow.

The ice surface was incredibly smooth with a very low coefficient of friction, which greatly hampered the goblins' ability to move.

Moreover, in snowy environments, coupled with the amplification from the White Bone Banner, the range of the Frostbite spell is more than 30% greater than under normal circumstances.

"Ka!"

"what!"

Half of the twenty-odd goblins were caught off guard and stepped onto the slippery ice.

They slipped, stumbled, and fell to the ground one after another, getting bruised and battered.

The goblin charging forward behind it couldn't dodge in time and also tripped and fell.

A group of goblins fell onto the ice, trying to get up, but the ice's coefficient of friction was too low, causing them to fall again and again.

Even when the goblin managed to stand up, it could hardly maintain its balance and fell to the ground again after taking only two steps.

Some goblins even tried to stand up by pressing down on their companions, but the companions naturally refused, making the situation even more chaotic.

Xia Zhi calmly took off the bone bow from his back, nocked an arrow, and began firing at the group of goblins one by one.

Whoosh whoosh!

His movements were swift and steady; his beautiful rapid-fire arrows were like firearms, with arrows being fired every second, announcing the death of a goblin.

The goblins were terrified by the rapid deaths of their companions and the deadly threat of arrows.

They frantically flailed their limbs, trying to climb off the ice and escape the call of death.

But with a group of goblins huddled together, pushing and shoving each other, it became even harder for everyone to get off the ice.

Some goblins on the edge of the ice quickly left the ice and stood up.

But these goblins became Xia Zhi's primary target.

Twenty seconds later, Xia Zhi lowered her hands, which were a little sore from overexertion of her muscles.

Twenty meters away from him, more than twenty goblins lay dead in a pile.

The stench of blood stained the ground, leaving a glaring red stain on the pristine white snow.

……

By the time the knight had gathered the villagers and sent strong men with pitchforks and hoes to help, Xia Zhi had already finished practicing the Soul Devouring Technique.

After becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xia Zhi's speed in circulating the Soul Devouring Technique increased significantly.

However, the effect of goblin souls on improving cultivation has been greatly weakened.

If it takes 100 goblin souls to upgrade from the tenth level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage, then it takes 500 to upgrade from the early to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, 1000 to upgrade from the middle to the late stage, and 2000 to upgrade from the late stage to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Even at a rate of ten goblins per day, it would take at least a year to reach this target.

"A year isn't a very long time."

As Xia Zhi pulled his arrows from the goblin and cleaned them on the snow, he reminisced about events from eight hundred years ago.

Even in the White Bone Sect, a place full of "friendly competition," it took him three years to go from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

A year has passed very quickly.

"Goblin Slayer San".

When the knight arrived at Xia Zhi's side, the look in his eyes was one of respect and admiration.

Although the opponent was a goblin, he defeated more than twenty opponents in one battle without sustaining any damage.

Is this what a silver-ranked adventurer is like?

At the same time, he also noticed the ice surface that suddenly appeared in the snow.

"Could Goblin Slayer San be a magician?"

Upon entering the village, Xia Zhi received heartfelt thanks from the village chief and the villagers.

If these goblins were to raid the village, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Their village had lost livestock, and goblin footprints had been found in the surrounding area, which is why they asked adventurers to come and hunt them down.

Unexpectedly, the previous group of adventurers were all wiped out.

If the summer solstice hadn't arrived in time, their entire village probably wouldn't have fared well!

After having a meal hosted by the villagers, Xia Zhi inquired about the previous group of adventurers, namely the Thousand Gold Swordsmen, before setting off.

He left the knight behind to protect the village and prevent goblins from attacking it while he was away.

After attaching two talismans to his legs, Xia Zhi arrived at a cave at sunset.

He looked around, took off his fur coat and buried it in the snow, then walked into the cave.

The cave in the snowfield was pitch black.

Not long after entering the cave on the summer solstice, a puddle suddenly appeared at the boundary between light and shadow.

Chapter 33 The Goblin God

The puddle didn't look deep at first glance, and it seemed to have been formed simply by melting snow. The water in the puddle was also very clear.

In fact, if someone falls in, the puddle can reach up to their chest.

At the bottom of the puddle, there were also sharp wooden stakes driven in, making it a very standard trap.

The icy water, around zero degrees Celsius, combined with massive blood loss, would take a life in no time.

In Xia Zhi's opinion, this trap is not only aimed at adventurers and villagers who accidentally wander in.

In the snow, food is a very precious resource.

If possible, no one would give up.

For goblins living in caves, encountering snow leopards, brown bears, or other monsters living in the snow is quite normal.

Humans don't eat goblins, and snow leopards and brown bears don't care.

Xia Zhi looked down at the puddle, then suddenly walked to the rock wall and firmly gripped the rock walls on both sides of the cave.

He pushed off the ground with his legs, used his waist strength, and climbed up the rock wall to the top of the cave.

Although there was no snow on the top of the cave, the rocks on the cave ceiling were as slippery as ice due to the combined effects of cold and moisture.

Xia Zhi channeled her magic power into her hands and legs, using a "sticky" force to wrap around the top of the cave, crawling forward like a spider.

Not far ahead, he found an alarm device on the ground.

In the dark cave, the alarm device was pressed close to the ground, making it difficult to spot even when holding a torch.

A little further ahead from the alarm, sixteen goblins had just woken up.

It's evening now, which is exactly the time when goblins start to become active.

Xia Zhi pondered for a while.

What is the most effective Foundation Establishment spell at this time, while also consuming the least amount of resources?

Soon, Xia Zhi first used her magic to plug her ears.

He then opened his mouth wide, facing downwards, silently recited an incantation, and roared out.

"Ouch!!!!"

The Vajra Lion's Roar of Buddhism!

This is the ultimate martial art of the Great Thunder Temple, one of the ten major sects in the Heavenly Realm!

The entire set of Vajra Lion Roar chants was broken down, analyzed, and thoroughly understood by the Great Thunder Temple.

Starting from the Qi Refining stage, there are different techniques for each of the stages, from Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul, to Spirit Division, Body Integration, and even Tribulation Transcending. These techniques are very practical.

Xia Zhi obtained a fragment of a scroll from a monk in the Nascent Soul stage of the Great Thunder Temple. It contained only the cultivation method of the Vajra Lion's Roar from the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

At the time, he was already a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and thought it was useless, but he never expected it would come in handy now.

The roar that came from Xia Zhi's mouth even formed a gale!

When the roar, like that of a lion, came from Xia Zhi's mouth, it was as if a continuous thunderclap was exploding in the cave!

It's like having two 160-decibel super loudspeakers, one on the left and one on the right, blasting their sound into your ears!

In this enclosed cave, the power of the Vajra Lion's Roar is more than doubled!

"Gah!!"

"what!!"

In just a moment, a whole bunch of goblins below fell down.

Enveloped by the roar of the lion, and accompanied by excruciating pain, blood flowed from their ear canals.

These are the goblins' eardrums, and even their ear bones were ruptured by the summer solstice.

These goblins have all become permanently deaf.

Some goblins that lived closer to the summer solstice were knocked unconscious by the loud roar of the lion, which damaged their brains.

Even goblins that were relatively far away could not withstand the repeated roars of the lions.

Their eyes were bloodshot and they had temporarily lost their sight.

Simultaneously impacted by the loud noise, the goblins who hadn't fainted were also disoriented and nauseous, vomiting profusely.

Faced with a bunch of goblins that were either lying on the ground at his mercy or vomiting everywhere, Xia Zhi jumped down from the top of the cave.

He drew the gleaming white bone dagger from his waist, his face beneath the iron helmet expressionless, like the Grim Reaper descending.

puff!puff!puff!

Soon, just over ten seconds later, the corpses of sixteen goblins lay scattered on the ground.

Xia Zhi sat cross-legged and used the Soul Devouring Technique to devour the souls of all sixteen goblins.

After completing the entire process, Xia Zhi arrived at the end of the cave.

He kicked open the wooden door inside, and a somewhat rough and simple altar of an evil god appeared before him.

Upon closer inspection of the altar, the most striking feature is a naked girl who has fallen into a coma.

She lay on the table in front of the altar, with long, golden hair that was not uncommon in this world.

His naked body bore bruises from beatings and cuts from sharp weapons.

Between her legs, there were traces of dried fluid.

This is the rescue target for the mission Xia Zhi accepted this time: the Thousand Gold Swordsman.

However, Xia Zhi did not take her away immediately.

He looked at the altar's arrangement, spat out a white bone banner from his mouth, silently recited an incantation, and planted it to the side.

"The altar and offerings are all ready; it's truly a blessing from heaven."

On the summer solstice, he sat cross-legged, with his back against the white bone banner, and closed his eyes.

Soon, a baby the size of a fist flew out of the Niwan Palace of Xia Zhi.

Astral projection!

He doesn't have much time and needs to speed things up.

"Heaven and earth are in order, and cause and effect must be traced back!"

After casting the spell, the causal lines on the Thousand Gold Swordsman's body were clearly visible in Xia Zhi's primordial spirit's eyes.

He followed a green causal line extending from the swordsman's neck and, from the perspective of causality, saw a figure within the green moon in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, this evil god looked exactly like a goblin.

It was about the same height as the Goblin King, with a pale green skin covered by a plain robe and a crown on its head.

Even the phrase "a monkey wearing a crown" cannot fully express this disharmony and depravity!

But on the Green Moon, besides the goblin god, Xia Zhi also discovered many humans, as well as women from other humanoid races such as elves, dwarves, and halflings.
