Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 4: Spin
Maggie clearly remembers that afternoon a few days ago.

When he and Elki and others came to the Adventurer's Association and looked for suitable tasks on the bulletin board in the hall.

The shy farm boy who was led here by the guide.

Although the other party said that he had mastered a professional "combat skill", Maggie didn't really take it seriously.

He has seen too many young men like Xia Nan, whether in the mountains on the border of the kingdom or in the current River Valley Town.

He put himself into the heroic epics sung by the bards, learned a few tricks from the village militia, and then thought he was qualified to go out on adventures.

Then, with unrealistic fantasies in mind, they plunged into the major forests and underground cities on the continent.

Finally it becomes nutrients in the soil that nourish the plants.

"Combat skills" are one of the necessary conditions to become a professional!

Even an "old guy" like me who has been out there for many years has only learned a few tricks. How could this young man who doesn't even know how to till the land learn the same skills by spending some time facing a few pieces of waste paper?

You know, even those noble and famous children in the city.

Their families also spend a lot of money to hire professionals who have mastered combat skills, train them since childhood, and even provide them with expensive medicinal materials and equipment.

Only then did he barely achieve professional level.

Although Maggie thought so in his heart at the time, he did not show it on his face due to his rich experience.

On the contrary, he warmly welcomed Xia Nan, who joined the team as a temporary member, and even spent a "huge amount of money" to treat him to a bowl of gray squirrel meat fried rice at the White Tit Tavern next door.

After all, given the intensity of the missions their team usually undertakes, the combat power of the three of them is more than enough, but they still need a member who can do the dirty and tiring work.

And if they encounter some unexpected situation, a novice who is not familiar with the forest terrain can also buy some time for their escape to some extent.

I just didn’t expect that…

"call out!"

Maggie suddenly let go, and the wooden arrow instantly disappeared from the bowstring.

Along with a brief numbness in the fingertips, a shrill scream was heard from the ground under the tree canopy.

He recalled the fleeting silver light in the woods just now.

That level is definitely a combat skill!

Could it be... that this kid was really lucky enough to have mastered this skill?
No matter what, Xia Nan did master a "combat skill".

Then perhaps the opponent's position in his own team should also be changed?

Draw the bow and release the arrow.

Maggie's hands kept moving, but he had already started thinking in his mind.

"Elki is dead, and the team is just missing a combatant."

"After this mission is over, I will bring this guy into the team."

……

……

Chest heaving.

Xia Nan let out a long breath slowly.

His arms trembled slightly from the excessive force, and the palm of his hand felt the solid touch of the sword handle.

He recalled the feeling of subconsciously using [Spin Slash] just now.

It's hard to describe.

After practicing countless times over the past few years, this move seemed to have become his instinct.

Charge, aim, and swing the sword.

It was not until the goblin's sharp wail reached his ears that he realized that this time what was under the sword was not straw, but real flesh and blood.

A pool of blood gradually spread across the meadow, and bits of body parts were scattered on the ground.

Xia Nan felt a little nauseous, but after all, the tragic scene before him came from the goblins. Even though they were both intelligent creatures, the difference in height and size was too great.

The sense of déjà vu wasn't that strong, so the discomfort in my stomach was barely bearable.

Roar—the sound of fighting came from behind him, bringing him back to reality from his aftertaste.

The battle is not over yet.

Although Xia Nan is a newcomer, he has no intention of backing down.

Perhaps it was the sword just now that dispelled the fear caused by Elki's death in his heart.

Without thinking too much, he tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand and quickly went in the direction of Ga Gu to provide support.

Roaring, howling, arrows flying through the air, sharp blades piercing the body...

The battle came suddenly and ended quickly.

It took less than ten minutes in total before the forest returned to silence.

Only an extremely strong smell of blood was left in the air.

The goblin raid was very effective.

Immediately after the battle began, the "Rotten Fish" team was successfully reduced in number and lost a main combat force.

But then, they revealed their true colors as low-level monsters.

Faced with resistance from other members of the team, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Especially after Xia Nan split the two goblins in half with one sword, the situation collapsed instantly and tilted towards the team.

Without the courage to commit crimes in a group, even though the goblins still had weapons in their hands, their combat effectiveness plummeted.

Gaguding was at the front, swinging a two-handed axe with great vigor; Xia Nan was wandering around the side of the battlefield, finishing off his teammates; from time to time, wooden arrows flew out from the dense treetops above their heads. Although they were not always successful, every arrow was effective.

There are sixteen goblins in total.

Shanan dealt with five of them, and Maji shot six with just a bow and arrow.

Ga Gu was covered in blood and looked extremely miserable, like a fierce warrior on the battlefield.

In the end, they only killed five goblins, just like Xia Nan who had just joined the team.

Clean up the battlefield.

Following the movements of hunter Maji, Shanan stepped on the goblin's head and cut off its left ear with a one-handed sword.

This is his trophy.

Although the process made him feel a little uncomfortable, he thought that the bounty for just one goblin was nearly four silver coins, which was almost the salary for two days of hard labor in the city.

Xia Nan's hand movements unconsciously became lighter and more powerful.

"Here, take it!"

A bloodstained goblin ear was handed over.

Xia Nan looked at Gagu in front of him and felt a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, although he was the one who stabbed the goblin in the end, the goblin had actually been hit on the forehead by Gagu's two-handed axe before he made the move, and was almost half dead.

He originally thought that this should be the opponent's head, so he ignored it. Unexpectedly, the orc actually took the initiative to cut off his ear and sent it to him.

"If you have some skills, I'll treat you to a drink later!"

Ga Gu patted Xia Nan's shoulder with his bloody hand and spoke in a hoarse voice.

In fact, before this battle, the two had little communication.

On the one hand, Xia Nan acted in a daze because he was trying to digest the memories in his brain.

On the other hand, it was also because Gagu actually looked down on this newcomer.

With orc blood, the concept of "the strong are respected" runs through almost all of his cognition.

Without giving it as much thought as Maggie did, he just felt that Xia Nan joined the team just to hold them back and had no value at all.

It was not until just now, when Gagu saw the opponent's performance in the battle with his own eyes, that he was truly convinced.

Treat it as part of the team.
