Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 3 Goblin

Goblin,
They are as notorious as cockroaches, and can be found in almost every plane that has something to do with the element of "Western fantasy".

This short creature is greedy and despicable by nature. If the average IQ of its race was not at the bottom of intelligent creatures, it might be described as "cunning" and "deceptive".

The overall serious inclination towards the "evil" species camp, as well as the low productivity caused by backward intelligence, often make their survival behaviors linked to "plundering" and "stealing".

In addition, there are no females in their species, which means they have to rely on plundering the opposite sex of other intelligent creatures to reproduce.

As a result, to some extent, they have a worse reputation in the multiverse than the demons of the abyss and the devils of hell.

The individual combat power of goblins is extremely weak. An ordinary peasant woman holding a pitchfork can easily deal with a blank goblin without any weapons or equipment.

But just as hunter Maggie described.

These little creatures are like the stray dogs that can be found everywhere in the town.

A single one can't do much, but once they gather together, the group's number can reach double or even triple digits.

The goblins' courage and the destructive power they can cause will increase exponentially.

Loot caravans, raid villages...

Especially when the number of their colony grows to a certain extent, some elite individuals with leadership roles will naturally emerge.

In the long run, if allowed to develop, they may even grow into a kingdom-level disaster.

Right now, the goblin tribe that the Rotten Fish Squad is tracking down may not have developed to the scale of looting towns.

But obviously, it already has the ability to actively attack humans.

The humorous dwarf who once liked to tell inappropriate jokes, now has a body gradually turning cold on the ground, which can prove this.

"Roar!!!"

An inhuman roar suddenly sounded in the forest.

The orc Gagu jumped up like a frightened jungle beast, his hands tightly grasping his bloodstained two-handed axe.

The sudden attack and the death of his teammates seemed to make this mixed-race bastard with thin orc blood recall some of the glory of his ancestors.

The canine teeth that were becoming increasingly pointed, as well as his muscles that were obviously swelling and turning red, showed that the orc was entering a certain combat state.

Hunter Maggie is the fastest one in the entire team.

He reacted almost the moment the dark wooden stick emerged from behind Elki's head.

While shouting a warning, he carried a longbow on his back and used his hands and feet to climb up the towering hard oak tree behind him very nimbly.

The thin figure disappeared into the dense tree canopy in an instant.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xia Nan was undoubtedly the slowest to respond in the entire team.

For more than 30 years before the time travel, I had been working in the classroom and office, and I had never killed a chicken.
In this life, he is just an honest farmer who works hard in the fields.

In the previous second, he was still thinking about how to get more information about this world from Elki, and in the next second, his opponent was shot in the head with a wooden stick in front of him, and even his brains were flowing out.

Xia Nan felt his brain go blank. Although he instinctively picked up the one-handed sword on his knee, his body stood there motionless, as if he was in some kind of rigid state.

until……

"call out!"

The hair strands swayed, and the violent airflow brushed across the cheek, leaving a stinging sensation.

A wooden arrow flew through the shadows of the forest and out from the treetops above.

"what!"

A sharp cry of pain came from behind.

Xia Nan suddenly shuddered and came back to his senses in an instant.

The world, which seemed to have been muted, suddenly came alive again. He turned around quickly without having time to thank Maggie who had helped him.

As his eyes swept over, his pupils shrank slightly!
They were two short figures leaning over.

The surface of the rough dark green skin was covered with scars, and his scarlet eyes were filled with cunning and viciousness. He only had a piece of dirty brown rag wrapped around his lower body, and his limbs were slender, but the outline of the bulging muscles underneath could be faintly seen.

Without knowing when, the two goblins had quietly appeared behind him!

If it weren't for Maggie's reminder, I would have fallen into the trap like the dwarf Elki.

Xia Nan felt a surge of fear in his heart and subconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword wrapped with a thick rope in his hand.

"Wow!"

The stealth was exposed, and one of the goblins' feet was even pierced by a wooden arrow shot from above, nailing him firmly to the ground.

This monster, which was timid by nature, seemed to have lost the courage to continue attacking at that moment.

He just raised the wooden stick in his hand as a deterrent to the young human in front of him.

The dark body of the stick appeared a dangerous orange-red under the reflection of the campfire.

Xia Nan looked at the rusty nails embedded in the surface of the wooden stick, and suddenly recalled the tragic scene of Elki's head bursting apart.

As if it was some kind of stress response, with a strong sense of fear in his heart, he stepped forward with his right foot, and at the same time bent his right arm holding the sword to accumulate strength.

"despair!"

The soles of my feet sank into the soft ground almost instantly.

It is like the roots of a tree growing downwards to absorb nutrients from the soil.

An inexplicable force burst out from the soles of the feet, along the bones and muscles, gathering strength from the whole body.

Finally, it poured out with the sword blade.

【Spin Slash】

scoff-

The lingering fog rolled violently along with the shrill sound of tearing the air.

A sharp silver light with a beautiful arc flashed in front of Xia Nan.

Time and space seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.

The carefully maintained blade, combined with techniques that have been practiced hundreds of thousands of times, makes the goblin's skin, muscles, and bones as fragile as sandpaper, vulnerable to a single blow.

"Proficiency +1"

A string of translucent words flashed before my eyes.

Xia Nan only felt two brief delays in his hands, and then he swung the one-handed sword diagonally upwards from left to right, just like he had done in countless days and nights before.

Blood splattered.

Falling to the mud were the goblins' broken hands, half of their skulls, stinking internal organs, and their dirty, hot blood.

The two sinister monsters that attempted a sneak attack were easily split in half by just one sword, just like the countless straws on the ridge of the field.

The forest seemed to have fallen into a kind of dead silence at this moment.

High above the treetops, Maggie subconsciously released the longbow that had been fully drawn.

Looking at the two broken bodies on the meadow, his eyes rolled and he glanced at Xia Nan who was slowly exhaling and putting away his sword.

His Adam's apple rolled twice, and his face was filled with uncontrollable surprise.

"Is this a newbie?!"
