The demon monk in the second dimension

The sun was slowly setting, and the goblins, who had slept all day, were about to wake up.

Using the bushes as cover, Xia Zhi drew her short sword from her waist and crept to a spot less than ten meters from the goblin.

He shook his arm, rotated his wrist, gathered his inner energy, and threw the short sword in his hand out like a hidden weapon!

"middle!"

puff!

With a soft thud, Xia Zhi's dagger pierced the goblin's ugly head with perfect accuracy.

The sword tip, dripping with red and white liquid, pierced through the back of the goblin's head, causing him to fall backward with a soft "plop."

Emerging from the bushes, Xia Zhi stepped on the goblin's corpse and pulled the short sword from its forehead.

Standing in front of the cave, Xia Zhi took a sniff and smelled a strong stench.

This means the cave isn't very deep, which is why the goblin's scent could be coming from inside.

He looked up at the sky again and decided to smoke the goblins out of the cave.

Xia Zhi first dragged the goblin corpse at the door into the bushes, then used a short sword to cut down many branches that still had large green leaves, and also picked up many dry branches.

He took out a flint from his bag, piled the branches a little further inside the cave, and lit them to ignite.

Soon, thick plumes of smoke rose from the fire.

Summer Solstice took a branch covered with leaves and fanned the fire, blowing more smoke into the cave.

Ten seconds later, he retreated ten meters away, holding a short bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, his eyes fixed on the cave entrance.

Although the bow left by the hunter was crudely made, it was still usable.

It's not the kind of children's bow that can only shoot rabbits and pheasants; it can even be used to shoot goblins.

Xia Zhi tested the bowstring and shot an arrow at a tree trunk ten meters away.

He wasn't very confident in the bow and didn't dare to draw it fully; he only drew it for half a month.

Xia Zhi's fingers held the arrow with ease, and the bowstring hummed like the flapping of wings.

The crudely made arrow thudded into the tree trunk, its iron tip almost completely embedded, proving to be quite lethal.

Then, Xia Zhi shot another arrow, which also pierced the bark.

Having roughly grasped the trajectory of the arrow, he had a better understanding of the situation.

As thick smoke billowed into the cave, Xia Zhi heard a lot of chaotic footsteps and panicked shouts from inside.

"Gooji!"

"quack!"

In the firelight, several small shadows appeared in the thick smoke.

Previously, Xia Zhi had deliberately placed the fire on the right side of the cave, so in the thick smoke, unable to see clearly, the fleeing goblins would instinctively run out from the left side.

When the first goblin ran out of the cave, Xia Zhi closed her eyes slightly, drew her bow and shot the arrow without hesitation!

puff!

The arrow struck the goblin squarely in the heart, penetrating more than a foot deep and splattering a considerable amount of blood.

The goblin didn't even utter a sound before falling backward to the ground.

The closer you are to the cave entrance, the thicker the smoke becomes.

The thick smoke blinded the goblin, making it impossible for him to see why his companion had collapsed.

So, on the summer solstice, he bent his bow and shot again.

puff!

The arrow pierced through the throat of a goblin.

"Ho! Ho!"

The goblin struggled frantically, clutching the arrow stuck in its throat.

His face was contorted in rage as he gasped for breath, his body instinctively taking a few steps forward.

But soon, the goblin, unable to breathe due to the blood filling its throat, collapsed to the ground and died shortly afterward.

As goblins emerged from the cave one after another, like rabbits being smoked out of the cave, Xia Zhi's hands continued to draw their bows.

When the sixth goblin fell at the cave entrance, the goblins inside the cave also discovered the corpse of their fallen companion through the gaps in the thick smoke.

Because of fear, they hesitated to move forward.

"Cough cough!"

"Haw!"

But in the thick smoke, they had no choice but to endure the suffocation.

Several goblins gathered together, heads bowed, and rushed out of the cave one after another!

Summer Solstice drew his bow again and shot down another goblin.

But the next moment, there was a cracking sound.

The bowstring of this crudely made hunting bow could still withstand the strain, but the bow itself had already broken.

It was never intended to be used for continuous, high-intensity work when it was made!

Dropping his broken longbow, Xia Zhi, shield in his left hand and sword in his right, his face expressionless beneath his helmet, strode toward the last three goblins.

"Cough! Cough!"

The three goblins were still coughing hard, trying to get rid of the aftereffects of inhaling too much smoke.

Their eyes were bloodshot from the thick smoke, and their throats felt like they were on fire.

At this point, they had no power to resist at all!

Xia Zhi went up and slashed a goblin's neck with her sword, severing most of its neck and revealing the pink bone.

Fresh blood burst forth like waves, spraying onto Xia Zhi's body.

The next instant, Xia Zhi stretched out her leg, which was clad in iron boots, and kicked between the legs of a goblin!

Goblins are a race with only males, but they are not reproductively isolated from humans, elves, halflings, and other humanoid races.

Therefore, if goblins want to reproduce, they can only steal, rob, and abduct women from other races.

At the same time, goblins also give birth to goblins.

Snapped!

Faced with such an unbearable weight for a man, the goblin let out a miserable scream, clutching its body as it collapsed to the ground.

Its body trembled violently, and its eyes rolled back in pain.

Xia Zhi was certain that with this kick, the goblin would be utterly destroyed.

As the last goblin approached, Xia Zhi strode forward, his right hand moving like a spear, piercing the goblin's chest with a short sword.

Blood flowed down the short sword, signaling the end of its life.

Finally, Xia Zhi turned around and used a soccer ball kick, which is strictly prohibited in modern combat, to kick the goblin's head, which had been blown apart.

boom!

With a muffled thud, blood gushed from the goblin's head, and it promptly passed out.

After taking down this wave of goblins, Xia Zhi waited in front of the cave for a while longer.

After ten minutes, seeing that no goblins had come out of the cave, he extinguished the flames at the cave entrance, took only a burning branch as a torch, and with the torch in one hand and the sword in the other, bent down and walked into the cave.

Just as Xia Zhi had guessed, the cave wasn't deep; it was only about ten meters deep, and the bottom was completely visible.

There was nothing inside except goblin droppings and leftover bones.

After leaving the cave, Xia Zhi piled up the goblin corpses.

"1, 2, 3..."

He counted them; there were eleven goblins in the cave.

They're all lying here now, dying a very unsettling death.

By this time, it had already gotten dark.

The last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the horizon.

In the dark forest, a man clad in iron armor, covered in blood, rummaged through the goblin's corpse.

On the summer solstice, the eleven goblin corpses were arranged in a circle, and the goblin blood was used to connect the corpses. The eleven corpses were then seated in the center of the circle.

He activated the Soul Devouring Technique, and eleven faint strands of soul power were drawn in by the unseen force, being sucked into Xia Zhi's mouth amidst screams.

Xia Zhi acted as if she hadn't heard the goblin's dying screams.

He has long been used to it.

Eleven strands of soul power entered the body, and under the operation and processing of the demonic and evil technique of Soul Devouring Art, they gradually transformed into eleven strands of true energy.

Having ten strands of true qi is considered to be at the second level of Qi Refining.

Having successfully broken through, Xia Zhi picked up the short sword beside her and, as if slaughtering a pig, dissected the eleven goblin corpses from behind.

He wielded his short sword with a series of sharp, chopping motions, constantly slicing away bone fragments as he removed the spines of eleven goblins from their bodies.

Next, Xia Zhi used a lot of goblin blood and other bones to carve another magic circle on the messy, blood-smeared ground.

He placed eleven goblin spines, white with a hint of pink and less than half a meter long, around the magic circle, then picked up a short sword and stuck it into the center of the magic circle.

"This sword has killed quite a few goblins. It's fine as the base material for the White Bone Sword. It can be used as a transitional material during the Qi Refining stage."

A proper bone magic sword requires the bones of powerful creatures, along with various other materials, to be crafted.

It is the standard magical artifact for disciples of the White Bone Sect during the Foundation Establishment stage.

With the knowledge of an old demon at the Tribulation Transcending stage, Xia Zhi modified some of the magic array used to forge the White Bone Sword.

What he's doing now is less about using the White Bone Sword and more about strengthening the short sword with bones.

Chapter 6 Inside the Guild (Please add to your favorites and vote for this book)

Xia Zhi channeled ten strands of true energy into the magic array constructed from blood and bones, thus activating it.

The next moment, impacted by the force field in the magic circle, the goblin's spine next to the short sword exploded!

Instead of scattering according to the laws of physics, the bone powder was enveloped by a strange wind formed within the magic circle.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the bone powder fell to the ground, and the effectiveness of the magic array was completely exhausted.

Xia Zhi took the enhanced short sword out of the magic circle.

Compared to before, the material of this short sword has become whiter, and its hardness and sharpness have also improved.

However, this enhancement is only to this extent.

After all, it's just eleven goblin spines, nothing special.

After putting away the broken hunting bow and weapons, Xia Zhi cut off the two ears of these goblins as evidence of completing the mission and put them in a cloth bag.

These goblin carcasses are left here, and the wild animals in the forest will help dispose of them.

……

When Xia Zhi returned to the village where the mission was issued, covered in blood, it was almost time for the villagers to go to sleep.

He knew that his blood-covered appearance was somewhat frightening, so he avoided the other villagers and quietly went to the village chief's house, gently knocking on the door.

knock knock.

Soon, the village chief's somewhat dissatisfied voice rang out from the courtyard.

"Who is it! Coming here at this hour, aren't you going to sleep?"

Summer Solstice spoke.
