Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Viviana, I can run as fast as a warhorse. I can break through with you."

As Banning spoke, he took out two smoke bombs from the soft armor of his warhorse. Viviana understood what he meant. This was the magical prop that Banning used in the Sand Dou Canyon that could produce a large amount of smoke.

With this item as cover, the success rate of breaking out will be greatly improved.

Considering that war horses were not good at running on downhill roads, Viviana stretched out her hand and pointed out a road around the mountainside to Banning. Before she opened her mouth to explain, Banning nodded in agreement. It seemed that he had understood Viviana's concerns.

This tacit understanding that could be reached without words quietly left something special in Viviana's heart.

Then, before the enemy launched an attack, Viviana asked Jiang Ran to throw a smoke bomb, and then the two of them rushed towards a place together!

·

A large amount of white smoke quickly emerged from the smoke bomb, and the figures of the girl and boy on horseback were quickly hidden in it. It was impossible to judge their next move from the outside.

But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew over, blowing the white smoke away in an instant, making the two people and one horse hiding inside very embarrassed.

At the same time, more than 20 goblin wolf riders emerged from the surroundings one after another and surrounded the boy and girl. The leading wolf rider shaman held up a glowing oak staff with a very proud expression.

In the mountains and forests where goblins live, fog is a common phenomenon. In order to dispel the fog, the goblin shaman has mastered the magic of instant wind. He did not expect that it would come in handy in his "hunt" today.

"I thought there was only one person, but I didn't expect there to be another person and a horse. This is really an unexpected gain!" (Goblin)

The Goblin Shaman spoke with enthusiasm, but acted cautiously.

It raised its hand to signal the surrounding goblin cavalry not to act rashly - the first principle of goblin hunting is to torture the prey, because only prey that is tortured to exhaustion is the safest.

"Follow the old rules. Do not use your full strength without my order. Also, the female humans must be kept as seedbeds. Don't kill them!"

At the Goblin Shaman's command, the Goblin Cavalrymen who had already formed an encirclement actually dispersed a little. It was not because the subordinates did not obey the order, but because this was their army's hunting strategy.

After a gap was created in the encirclement formation, the two humans who were the prey showed puzzled expressions, which was exactly what the Goblin Shaman wanted to see.

Regardless of whether these two humans are going to break out or fight to the death, the Goblin Shamans have a clear idea. Their hunting tactics have been used many times in actual combat and they can deal with any situation calmly.

·

The Goblin Shaman's name is Apu. Beneath his smug expression, he actually has a cautious and serious heart.

Thanks to his naturally cautious character, Apu has grown from a weak "Goblin Cub" to today's "Goblin Shaman Elder". Moreover, he will continue to evolve, hoping to become the right-hand man of the Goblin King one day.

As a fourth-tier "Goblin Shaman Elder", Apu can not only chant and use human magic, but is also proficient in spells and has his own methods on both offense and defense.

Having been through many battles, it was experienced and could tell at a glance that these two humans were not easy to deal with, and even the warhorse should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Apu was more cautious than usual and did not order a charge even when there was such a good opportunity for a surprise attack just now.

In Apu's opinion, the key to the current situation lies in the word "delay".

It clearly saw that the female human had many wounds on her body and seemed to be running out of strength. In contrast, it and its subordinates were all in high spirits and in excellent condition.

So, why should it be in a hurry?

This is their territory, their home ground.

In this forest, the Goblins are the only king!

·

After the strong wind, leaves fell in the mountains and forests.

In the encirclement of the Goblin Wolf Riders, two humans attempted to launch a breakout charge, but the goblins immediately "coordinated" with the humans' movements and moved the entire encirclement, leaving the two humans with nothing to break out of.

In addition, during the operation, the Goblin Wolf Riders also seized the opportunity to sneak attack the humans with crossbows equipped with poison arrows. Unfortunately, the two humans reacted very quickly and none of the arrows hit them successfully.

The crossbow was not invented by the goblins themselves, but was copied from spoils captured from human invaders.

Since being equipped with this crossbow that can be fired with one hand, the combat capability of the Goblin Wolf Riders has been greatly improved. It is common for them to chase poisoned prey until they die of exhaustion.

Goblin Shaman Apu was very satisfied with the result of this round of fighting. He had seen that the female human was indeed dying. The next thing to do was to focus on the male human, and then he could harvest a new seedbed.

But at this moment, the two humans launched a second round of breakout charge, and the direction they chose made Apu frown.

—(Damn it, there's a cliff over there... This way, the encirclement will be forced to open a gap...)

Apu thought about it and realized that if things continued like this, the two humans and the horse might end up falling off the cliff together.

Although there is nothing wrong with this ending, and it can be considered as completing the mission, but wasting this silver-haired and red-eyed seedling bed... it is really a waste of resources!

"Tsk...!"

In desperation, Apu was forced to make a decision.

It raised its oak staff, quickly chanted a spell, and then pointed the staff at the goblin wolf riders.

"My compatriots, thirst for blood! ... 'Thirst for blood'!"

A scarlet halo fell on every goblin wolf rider, and then their eyes all turned blood red.

Of course, the so-called "thirst for blood" is definitely not as simple as changing eye color.

Under the effect of this spell, the strength and reaction speed of all Goblin Wolf Riders will be greatly enhanced, and they will also be able to ignore pain below a certain level and fight more bravely!

Immediately afterwards, the Goblin Shaman Apu used the "First-Level Earth Magic: Multiple Rock Wall" on the two humans. The purpose of using this magic was not to cause damage, but to stop their charge.

In addition, the additional height differences in the terrain are beneficial for the wolf cavalry to jump and attack, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

——(If we hold on a little longer… until the [Magic Drain] cools down, these two humans will be powerless…!)

7.47 - Chase and Chaos

In the mountains and forests, the young man and the girl on horseback were stopped by several rock walls protruding from the ground.

The goblin wolf riders roared and began to besiege them. These wolf riders, some holding battle axes and some wielding spears, were extremely agile and could use any narrow facade of the rock wall or the rugged slope of the mountain road as their foothold.

As long as they have the chance, they will sneak attack humans from behind from all kinds of tricky angles, and even if they are blocked or dodged, they will never fight to the end, but will always retreat after a single strike.

In addition, there were goblins holding crossbows looking for opportunities on the periphery, and they would suddenly shoot arrows when there was a suitable gap. The sturdy black warhorse was their perfect target.

The goblins were not worried about accidentally hurting their own side. These arrows could not cause fatal injuries to their thick skin and flesh. As for the venom on them, it was even less of a problem because they all carried antidotes with them.

After several rounds of fighting, the goblins gradually realized that they had the upper hand in strength, and they were simply unstoppable after being enhanced by the shaman's skills!

In the head-on confrontation, the two humans relied on their skills and physical agility to fend off their attacks and were completely unable to fight back.

Those annoying scarlet silver rapiers floating in the air are actually very easy to deal with. As long as you actively chase these swords and attack them, you can smash them to pieces quickly!

"Try harder! Kill that male human first!" (Goblin)

The goblin shaman's shouts from behind boosted the morale of the wolf riders, but what they didn't know was that Shaman Apu shouted this because he noticed that the long sword in the male human's hand was unusual.

At this moment, the long sword in the male human's hand ignited with blue flames. As he swung it through the air, the scattered blue flames turned into the shape of a horse in the air, and then rushed towards the goblins as if it came alive!

The goblins had never seen this kind of move before, and the blue flame horses were extremely fast, so in a short time many goblins were severely burned and wailed continuously.

When the two humans saw that their moves worked, they immediately took the opportunity to break out, which created a dangerous rift in the goblins' ever-present advantage.

"Mother Earth will never forget her people! 'Nature's Gift'!"

However, as Shaman Apu finished chanting his spell, the situation returned to the goblins' side.

A green beam of light shot out from the shaman's oak staff into the sky, and then green "rain" began to fall on the goblins.

As the rain water absorbed into their bodies, the burned goblins immediately stopped feeling pain and their wounds began to heal slowly.

This is the miracle that Goblin Shaman Lord Apu brought to them!

As long as Master Apu is here, they are invincible!

The morale of the goblin wolf riders was boosted, and they immediately caught up with the two humans again. Shaman Apu also followed behind on a giant wolf, but his face was a little gloomy.

Only Apu himself knows that "Nature's Gift" can only cure abnormal conditions below a certain level and cannot restore vitality.

All this spell could do was to relieve the goblins' pain. If the male human continued to attack with the magic sword, with that kind of power, the goblins would probably only be able to withstand one or two more hits.

"Brothers! No need to hold back! Let's finish this quickly and go back to celebrate!"

Therefore, Shaman Apu gave up the idea of ​​delaying time. His latest judgment was that this male human was extremely dangerous and must be killed as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!

When the wolf riders heard the Shaman's order, they immediately burst into warm cheers, and their morale was boiling at this moment!

·

"Master Apu said! Kill without restraint--!!!"

A Goblin Wolf Rider leaped onto the rock, raising its head high and letting out a long, resounding war howl. This was one of its three abilities, "Giant Wolf Howl," which grants all Wolf Riders within a ten-meter radius a bonus to their Strength and Agility attributes! (Same effect cannot be stacked during its duration.)

The strengthened wolf riders chased bravely, each using different pursuit skills!

"Bite them! Ghost Wolf!"

"Die in my hands! 'Head-Guillotining Axe'!"

"Ah-hoo! It's hunting time! 'Giant Wolf Bite'!"

At once, the ghost wolf made of magic power, the double-edged battle axe swirling with green light, and the strengthened giant wolf acting alone, all attacked the two humans!

Suddenly, the male human spun around and swung his sword again, unleashing the Blue Flame Horse! But this time, the goblins had learned their lesson. As soon as they saw the human's initial move, they knew the terrifying blue flames were coming again, and they immediately scattered. Only three or five goblins were slow to dodge and were scratched by the flames.

"Hahahaha! It's useless if you can't hit! Brothers, go ahead--!!!"

The goblins fought more and more bravely. Under their pursuit and siege, the female human had almost no strength to fight back. Only the male human was still struggling to hold on.

Their victory is just around the corner!

"When Mother Earth is angry, she will take back her gifts..."

The goblin shaman's chanting reached the front line at this time. When the wolf riders heard the chanting, they immediately slowed down their pursuit. More than ten seconds later, a totem inlaid with a large number of cursed masks suddenly appeared above the heads of the two humans, and then stuck straight into the ground in front of them!

"[Curse of the Earth: Magical Power Drain]!"

Shaman Apu roared, and a green halo quickly spread out from the totem, hitting two people without any suspense...

——(What?! Where’s that male human?)

Under the gaze of Shaman Apu, the male human suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a scream came from the side. A male human had sneaked over at some point and stabbed a goblin in the chest with a sword from behind.

——(Damn, what kind of speed is this? It’s faster than our Goblin Assassins?!)

Although the wolf riders immediately attacked in groups, Shaman Apu was still worried. He instigated the wolves to chase the male human. Halfway through the chase, he changed his mind and changed direction to pounce on the female human.

At this moment, Shaman Apu had a new idea. He thought that as long as he could capture female humans as hostages, male humans would definitely surrender.

"Goblin God, your descendants are calling upon the power of their ancestors..."

Shaman Apu chanted quickly while charging on his wolf.

"We need unbreakable shackles to bind our enemies..."

And it was not surprising to see that the male humans were also rushing towards the female humans.

But it is the one that is one step faster.

"Tied her up! Binding shackles!"

A green light shot out from the oak staff and shot straight towards the female human!

But what Shaman Apu did not expect was that the male human actually rushed forward without hesitation and blocked the "binding shackles" with his own body.

"Hahahaha! What a hero saving the damsel in distress!"

Shaman Apu was overjoyed. He never expected that he could control the male human so effortlessly!

Without the ability to remove the "Binding Shackles" skill, no one can break it!

7.48 - Stopping the War with a Plan (Part )

The green beam of light in the oak staff split into dozens of thinner green lights when it touched the male human, tightly binding the human's hands, feet and body together.

Shaman Apu held an oak staff in his hand and shouted loudly for the wolf riders to come and deal a fatal blow to the human!

"Binding Shackles" is a skill with extremely strong control effect, but when using this skill, Shaman Ap himself cannot take any other actions.

Shaman Apu saw the female human dismount and try to cut off the green light that formed the shackles with the scarlet silver sword.

As a result, the girl swung the sword, but not only did she fail to cut it off, but a corner of the blade broke off, making it unusable.

"Hahahaha! Keep trying! If you don't have a sword, you can always bite with your teeth, hahahahahaha!!!" (Goblin)

Shaman Apu smiled proudly, but as mentioned before, he always remained cautious in his heart.
