Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 88 Shock
The next day, it was still dark.

Xia Nan stood at the door of the White Sparrow Tavern fully armed and in high spirits.

——His improved physical condition allowed him to recover his body and mind to a perfect state even if he only slept for a few hours.

The only thing that made him feel a little unsure was that there were no deficiencies in weapons and equipment.

But after all, the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to prepare extra supplies.

It was still midsummer night, and the shops on the street closed early, so there was nowhere to go if one wanted to buy anything.

In the end, they used the leftovers from previous missions as supplies, and spent money to buy some food that was easy to carry and could be stored for a long time from the tavern owner "Chapton", and only then did they complete their preparations before the trip.

"Tap, tap."

The sound of slow and decisive footsteps came from behind him.

Xia Nan suddenly felt a cold breeze blowing in the air.

look away.

At the end of the street, I saw the rising sun in the sky, interweaving with brilliant morning glow and soft morning light.

A burly figure wrapped in the cold wind slowly walked towards him from the gradually melting night.

The high brows cast shadows, and the eyes were like two swaying blue flames.

Glancing at Xia Nan who was already prepared on the roadside.

He nodded slightly, barely perceptible.

Without saying anything, he just walked silently towards the exit of the town.

Xia Nan tightened the heavy backpack behind him and hurried to catch up.

The expression on his face showed a little strange.

Normally, as a thoughtful adventurer, before going out on a mission, he would prepare supplies two to three times the length of the journey.

Although the barbarian "Fugan" did not reveal the specific number of days, considering that he was only passing through River Valley Town to rest, he would not stay too long even if he wanted to take me to learn combat skills.

Xia Nan still tried his best to prepare enough supplies for him to survive in the wild for seven days without affecting his actions.

If you use it sparingly, it can even last for more than ten days.

In comparison, Fugang looks particularly light.

Not to mention the heavy linen bag on his back, the barbarian in front of him had only a few small animal skin waist bags on his body, which could barely be considered storage items.

I don't know if it's some kind of magical storage item or if it's just a habit.

Considering the racial identity of the other barbarian and the impression he left on him last night.

He prefers the latter.

……

The two walked one after the other in silence on the streets of River Valley Town.

The sky became brighter and the buildings on both sides of the road became increasingly sparse.

The familiar street scene made Xia Nan make a judgment in his mind.

Their destination should be the Misty Forest.

While we are still in human settlement, we don't need to be as focused and alert to the dangers around us as we would in the forest.

His thoughts wandered slightly.

Come to think of it, there were still many omissions in my choice of combat skills last night.

Many days ago, during the mission, Wood had mentioned this to himself.

To obtain a professional level, it is not enough to simply master three combat skills and raise the proficiency of one of them to "mastery" (lv5).

The three combat skills must belong to the same profession in order to complete the promotion.

Otherwise, it is a failure.

Or with an almost impossible small probability, you may end up working in some unpopular niche profession.

He is not clear now what class his level 5 [Spin Slash] belongs to.

If you rashly choose other combat skills that lead to advancement, you will completely waste this precious opportunity.

Maybe... I should find a chance to ask?
I was thinking this in my mind.

The barbarian "Fugon" in front of him seemed to have sensed what he was thinking.

It was still the same vague voice with a heavy accent:

"I heard from Hai'an that you have already mastered a combat technique."

His heart was moved, and Xia Nan quickly took over the topic.

"Yes, but I don't know its specific category. I just heard them say that it might come from a [Warrior] or a [Paladin]."

Then, there was silence.

The Savage made no move to reply, but simply kept walking.

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.

He opened his mouth silently.

Xia Nan looked at the muscular figure in front of him wearing a wolfskin cloak, feeling a little depressed.

……

……

Misty Forest,

For Xia Nan, who had already completed two missions in it, it was not unfamiliar.

But this time, following the barbarians, was an unforgettable and even a bit shocking experience.

It was as if the final destination had already been determined before entering the forest.

The barbarian Fugang adhered to the principle that "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line" and moved very fast with Shanan, almost rushing forward.

In the past, I had to expend a lot of energy to chop through the annoying thorns on the road.
He doesn't even need the obsidian axe hanging on the other person's waist.

Just the collision of the body was like the waves hitting the rocks on the shore, and was ruthlessly crushed by the barbarians.

Nor do they care about the dangers that may be lurking in the forest.

Fugan did not hide the noise he made while moving, and his speed was even faster than before in the town.

Although it looked like just an ordinary brisk walk, Xia Nan had to jog to keep up.

And in this situation, let alone monsters for the whole morning.

Even those disgusting and troublesome poisonous snakes and scorpions hiding in the bushes were nowhere to be seen.

The dangerous aura of the savages, comparable to that of predators at the top of the food chain, is a natural "insect repellent" for animals living in the wild with extremely keen perception.

It was like a bright lamp shining in the darkness. Just the part of the wolf's body revealed by the light was enough to drive away those tiny creatures that were so weak that they could not even be called prey.

The outskirts of the Misty Forest, for high-level professionals like Efugon, may be even less dangerous than River Valley Town to a certain extent.

After all, if you just sit down in a tavern where adventurers gather, you might even run into a few drunk and crazy professionals.

Xia Nan followed closely in the other party's footsteps, looking at this forbidden land that buried countless low-level adventurers from a completely new perspective he had never had before.

Suddenly, I don't know why.

The momentum of the barbarian in front of him suddenly dropped.

As a result, the originally extremely strong sense of presence also decreased a lot.

He was confused, but since the other party didn't explain the reason, he didn't ask and just continued to follow.

We walked for about another twenty minutes.

As Fugang's pace gradually slowed down, a cave located on a small hill in the forest appeared in front of Xia Nan.

The faint stench in the air and the simple yet familiar appearance of the mudstone cave.

He only took one glance to recognize the ownership of this nest.

"Goblin?"
