Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 58 Experiment
Lacking elite individuals, the goblins might be able to rely on their numerical advantage to boost morale and charge at the enemy.

However, whenever they discover a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, and encounter a strong and resolute counterattack, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply.

At this moment, Xia Nan’s exaggerated record of “killing four with one sword” obviously scared those despicable and cowardly green-skinned bastards.

He even saw a goblin who was lagging behind the team and arriving late, after discovering the tragic fate of the four goblins in front of him.

The body that was originally rushing over with its fangs and claws bared stopped in place as if it had suddenly braked, leaving two embarrassing footprints on the soft grass.

Turning suddenly,

He even threw the wooden stick in his hand aside and ran away wailing in fear.

At the beginning of the journey, the scene in the goblin cave is still fresh in my memory.

There was no way Xia Nan would let go of these disgusting cockroach-like scum.

He strode forward, raising the iron-grey beheading sword high up at an angle, ready to end the opponent's short life if it fell.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

He paused, raised his sword high, then put it back at his side, with the tip of the sword facing forward.

Bend your arms and move into a power-gathering posture.

Just like a machine executing a pre-set program, Xia Nan's originally smooth posture became stiff and awkward.

Step forward with your right leg.

"Thrust forward!"

A cold light flashed, and the feeling of the sharp blade entering the body came from the hilt of the sword in his hand.

Without any suspense, the goblin who was fleeing in panic had his chest and abdomen pierced by the sword.

The enemy has completely lost its combat capability.

Xia Nan was not satisfied with this and frowned slightly.

No matter how talented he is, he can only achieve this level in half a month.

Using such unskilled and rigid fighting techniques in high-intensity combat would undoubtedly lead to one's own death.

Right now it's just to prove my guess.

The expected translucent characters of "Proficiency +1" did not appear, and Xia Nan couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look on his face.

He casually stabbed the goblin to death as it was twitching and struggling on the ground.

He looked to the side.

There were two goblins crouching and wandering around the edge of the battlefield, as if they wanted to sneak from the side to the rear and attack the ordinary people in the convoy.

It's just that he seemed too focused and didn't realize that the battle on his side had already ended.

Without hesitation and without concealing his movements, Xia Nan stepped forward quickly.

Facing the two goblins who turned around in panic, the beheading sword chopped down in an instant.

The sharp blade tears through flesh easily.

The goblin's thin body was split into two halves.

The other green rat that was deliberately left behind also smashed the stick in its hand towards Xia Nan in fear.

Their morale had already hit rock bottom, and the attack was purely a reaction driven by the instinct for survival.

The falling stick was so light that it had no power at all.

But Xia Nan appeared to be extremely focused, his eyes fixed on the wooden stick whose surface was covered with dust and blood.

Press your wrist down and point the tip of the sword slant downward.

"Boom."

A dull sound was heard in the air.

The wooden stick hit the sword weakly, and the resulting reaction force made the goblin's slender arms tremble violently.

"Block the upward attack!"

Xia Nan suddenly exerted force with both hands that were tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and blocked the opponent's attack the next moment.

Step forward and chop upward.

Blood splattered, and half of the goblin's head, splattering a mixture of red and white viscous liquid, spun and rolled to the ground.

The property panel is still silent.

"take it easy."

Xia Nan sighed slightly in his heart.

First of all, through the way to obtain the last two points of proficiency of [Spin Slash], it can be clearly seen that:
In terms of combat skills, he has an improvement speed far exceeding that of his predecessor.

However, due to the lack of experiments, he could only blindly guess that it was the convenience brought by the attribute panel, or because "actual combat" could greatly improve the efficiency of acquiring proficiency compared to daily training.

The reason why I used those two "suspected" fighting skills that I was not proficient in just now was to try to speed up their training process through actual combat.

As for the results... naturally we have seen them all.

"Perhaps the amount of testing is too small to achieve a qualitative change?"

Xia Nan said secretly.

His eyes, however, were looking towards other directions of the battlefield, at the goblins who were being defeated by the adventurers' counterattack.

……

The battle came suddenly and ended quickly.

Less than ten minutes after Xia Nan swung out the sword [Spinning Slash], the grass beside the convoy returned to peace.

It is worth mentioning that, as if it is some kind of unspoken rule among adventurers, none of those goblins can escape their swords.

23 of them, all dead in an orderly manner.

One of them even fled to the edge of the nearby woods and was about to disappear in the dense bushes.

He was also caught up by a fast adventurer, who brought him back with his head in his hands.

The disgusting habits of these green rats may be one of the reasons.

But Xia Nan felt that it was more likely that the adventurers in the team were reluctant to part with the bounty of three silvers and seven bronzes.

Clean up the battlefield.

There was nothing to fight for with these goblins, who were only wearing rags and sticks.

Just like before, he cut off his left ear and kept it to exchange for a reward from the association.

"Huh...huh..."

Jeff was breathing heavily, his long-handled spear propped on the ground, and some goblin blood was stained on his simple linen clothes.

This simple and honest middle-aged man didn't even talk back when the drunk provoked him.

When faced with the goblins attacking the convoy, he was unusually brave and fearless.

It was as if he had become a different person. He gritted his teeth and stood at the front of the queue, running even faster than Xia Nan.

If it weren't for his somewhat clumsy fighting skills, people would have believed that he was a barbarian from somewhere.

Looking at the people who were about to clean up the battlefield, Jeff hesitated for a moment and suddenly cleared his throat.

"Everyone, we plan to rest in Kalanfor for two days, but there is no Adventurer's Guild there. Plus the return journey will take a long time, so it may not be convenient to carry these 'trophies' with us."

"If you don't mind, the bounties of these goblins can be counted as part of the guards' compensation. I'll settle the bill for you after we return to River Valley Town."

Now is the flowering month, which is almost one of the hottest months in the year.

A few days would be enough for the goblins' ears to go bad and stink.

However, for the sake of its bounty, adventurers often don't care.

Now that the captain of the convoy had made such a proposal, the guards present were naturally happy to save some energy and couldn't help cheering.

Shanan put the dagger in his hand back into his waist and looked at Jeff in surprise.

When he had a meal in a pub, he only had the cheapest set meal, and even his clothes were patched coarse linen clothes.

However, he was extremely generous and spent nearly double-digit gold coins to provide subsidies for the accompanying adventurers.

You really should make money.
