Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 91 Classification
Misty forest.

"Sasha."

It is the subtle sound of breeze blowing through the treetops.

The petioles trembled, and the yellowed leaves with curled and damaged edges fell off the branches.

Spinning down.

Just like the millions of its kind on the ground, in three seconds it will become part of the forest's carpet of yellow-brown leaves.

Then, within four to five months, it gradually withers and rots, eventually becoming weak nutrients that nourish the growth of a clump of weeds.

Whoosh——

An unnatural but more violent and fierce gust of wind interrupted the process.

The wilted leaves, which had already been abandoned by the trees due to the loss of life, were almost shattered by the fierce wind in an instant.

It turns into tiny and fragile leaf fragments, floating in the air like dust.

It fell on the rough bark of the oak tree with various textures, and on the surface of the tender and crisp stems and leaves on the ground.

It also followed the turbulent airflow and was stuck to the dark and messy thin hair ends.

"Wow!"

He shook his body vigorously to shake off the leaf and grass debris that were stuck to his clothes and hair.

Xia Nan turned his head and looked behind him.

As if being run over by some wild beast,

In the forest filled with dense grass and tough shrubs, there was a ten-foot-long crushing mark that was splattered with juice.

It seems to be working well.

Xia Nan couldn't help but frown, not satisfied.

What he was practicing at the moment was, of course, the fighting skills that the barbarian Fugan had taught him two days ago.

【Tooth hunt】.

The effect displayed by the other party that day was so outrageous that it almost collapsed the entire cave. Dozens of goblins and their bear goblin leader were smashed into pieces like bowling balls.

But in fact, the positioning of [Yashu] itself is more like a certain "charge" and "displacement" technique.

Whether to add attack attributes during the use of combat skills depends entirely on the caster.

As for what he saw at that time, it was an attack effect that spread across the corridor like an ice snake, and even had a bit of a mental shock effect.

Xia Nan is more inclined to believe that it is the power and effectiveness that comes with the barbarian's profession itself.

The ability to smash the monster into pieces may be due to the speed and kinetic energy added by [Tooth Hunter], but ultimately, it is due to the barbarian's exaggerated physical strength that is comparable to that of metal and stone.

Although it is far from the point of being "cheated", Xia Nan always has the illusion of "seller's show" and "buyer's show" after practicing these days.

I don’t know when I will be able to reach the other party’s “lawn mower” level.

Fortunately, it is a practical and real combat skill after all.

This was different from the many suspected combat skill books he had bought from the town's grocery stores before, which provided a terrible training experience of "taking money from one pocket to fill another" and filling endless holes.

The practice of [Tooth Hunting], just like the practice of [Spinning Slash] before, gave him a solid feeling of making steady progress step by step and making a little progress every day.

Even if any problems arise during the process, after spending time and energy to solve them, they will become muscle memory and will not happen again.

Actually learning it even made him feel vaguely at ease.

The specific training methods and some of the surface principles of combat skills also became clear as he gradually became familiar with them.

Through high-intensity training, the muscles in the legs, waist, abdomen and back are coordinated and controlled, and the stored power is released in a very short time.

Adjust the cadence, control the speed...

Combined with special breathing techniques, the force technique and timing are improved to control the center of gravity of the entire body's bones within a range suitable for the launch of combat skills.

To put it a little more simply, for example:

It was like a winter wolf lying in ambush deep in the snow, staring at its prey and ready to pounce.

He burst out all his strength and pounced forward like a spring.

The sword blade is its claws.

Originally a barbarian tribe from the northern highlands.

[Tooth Hunting] was originally developed by imitating the hunting movements of powerful predators, combined with the physical advantages of humans, and was gradually developed by a gifted combat master.

According to Fergan, the best results are achieved when practicing in snow that is knee-deep in the calf.

But now we are in the heart of the mainland and there is no suitable environment, so we can only make do with it.

Of course, in addition to the above, if you want to master the combat skill of [Tooth Hunting], there is another key point:
Before each training session, Xia Nan had to rely on the help of the barbarians to allow a special kind of cold air emitted by the other party to penetrate deep into his body along his muscles and tendons.

——It is no longer necessary after you get started.

Although I have seen on the Internet in my previous life that many professional athletes also have similar "ice baths", they are usually used after strenuous exercise to relieve muscle fatigue and speed up body recovery.

It's completely different from mine.

He was not clear about the specific principles involved. After all, he did not have any sophisticated testing equipment, nor was he an expert or professor in the relevant field. It was already very good for him to have a vague understanding of his current training direction.

As for the rest...

can only say,
Don’t meddle in the affairs of the fantasy world.

"call……"

His chest heaved and he let out a long breath.

A long white mist gushed out from between the lips and teeth, and some crystal ice points could be vaguely seen in it.

I reached out and touched my waist, abdomen and thighs, and found that the skin temperature had returned to normal.

Knowing that the cold energy has been exhausted, continuing to practice will have little effect.

Xia Nan turned around and walked towards the camp.

I need to find another barbarian to recharge myself.

……

……

The cold wind was biting, and the whistling snow and gravel were like millions of blades, cutting and scraping the man's rough and tough skin.

In the gaps between the ice and rocks, the remaining fire of charred firewood glowed faintly, and the burned-out pine resin turned into ashes and melted into the snow powder.

Pale broken bones pierced through the thick animal skin coat, and the mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood like rust.

“They are still here.”

The totem collapsed under the thorns, and in the dim white light, it condensed into an illusory figure of an old man.

"Bite the frost, and death will not come."

"Chief..." The burly man sitting in a pool of blood murmured in a hoarse voice, his wolfskin cloak already stained with scarlet.

"Let the ashes be reborn as snow. The spirits of our ancestors will protect you on the monuments, my child."

The skinny fingertips of the nourishing mycelium, like the halo of light under the winter clouds, penetrated the leather jacket and gently touched his chest.

"Live and bear the name of the Frostmaw clan."

"Furgan."

……

"Crack!"

The branch fibers suddenly burst under the burning flames, making a sudden sound.

There was an imperceptible ripple in Fugang's cold, icy blue eyes.

He raised his head and looked towards the edge of the camp.

Amid the swaying trees, I saw a figure carrying two swords, pulling at the surrounding thorny bushes, trying to break free from them with some difficulty.

Tightening the cloth bag hanging around his waist, Xia Nan greeted the other party and walked into the camp.

The barbarians before him were the same as always.

The firelight was reflected in his eyes, and there was no unnecessary movement and no sound.

Just sitting by the campfire like an ice cube.

He has gotten used to it. After two days of contact, Xia Nan has formed a preliminary impression of this powerful high-level professional beside him.

To be honest, if it weren't for the highly specific animal skin attire and the surname with a strong tribal flavor.

He didn't think the other party would be a barbarian at all.

After all, in the eyes of the world, this kind of profession, which symbolizes primitive and rough races and releases power from anger and nature, has always been entangled with words such as "reckless", "straightforward" and "rude". At this moment, Fugang beside Xia Nan was like a piece of ice rock wrapped in anger, suppressing all the fiery and restlessness under the cold.

And if one day, when the flames burn fiercely and melt the thick ice layer, the terrifying rage underneath that is powerful enough to melt gold and stone will reappear in the world.

"it's over?"

A deep and heavy voice came from the front.

Surprised by the other party's initiative to talk, Xia Nan quickly drank the hot water in his mouth.

He took a deep breath, exhaled the cold air, and pointed at the increasingly tiny ice crystals in the air.

"Well, it's all used up."

Then, there was classic silence.

She was the one who started the conversation, but after he responded, she stopped talking.

It made Xia Nan feel uncomfortable.

But I've also gotten used to it.

He knew that the other party was not unconscious or pretending not to want to answer, it was purely due to his personality.

At least when I asked him questions about combat skills these past two days, Fugan taught me very carefully.

I don’t say that I can answer every question, but in the end I can often help Xia Nan find the difficulty through actions and solve it easily.

From beginning to end, he remained calm and taciturn, as if all his anger was concealed by the frosty coldness emanating from his body.

After a hard day of training around the camp, I thought I'd take a short break.

Xia Nan was not in a hurry to ask the other party to replenish his cold energy.

He just drew out his beheading sword and patiently maintained it; at the same time, with some hesitation and doubt, he tentatively asked:

"You've seen it before. My [Spin Slash]... which class does it belong to?"

In the Ephra continent, in order to obtain a professional level, the following conditions must be met:
Master three combat skills corresponding to your profession, and practice one of them to the "proficient" level.

With the foundation of its predecessor and the bonus that the system panel may bring, Xia Nan has upgraded [Spin Slash] to the maximum level.

This also means that he only needs to learn two more combat skills to complete the promotion.

But what bothered him was that, until today, he still had not figured out the specific category of [Spinning Slash].

He could only hope that Fugang, whose strength and experience were obviously far superior to those of ordinary professionals, could help him solve this problem.

But what I didn't expect was.

In response, Fugang just shook his head slightly.

"It's hard."

There are more fighting skills in this world than snowflakes drifting in an ice storm.

Even those "legends" who stand at the top of the pyramid cannot identify the ownership of each fighting skill.

Especially for popular professions like "Warrior" and "Wanderer", there are countless combat skills under them.

——Even the Adventurer’s Association itself continues to collect and update a large number of combat skills every year.

Even among the various association branches, due to their different geographical locations, the common combat skills on the list also have obvious changes, for example:
The Adventurer's Guild of Barracuda Bay collects combat skills that are mostly related to underwater combat and long-range attacks.

The association's branch in Rock Shadow City, because it is located in the Underdark, possesses a large number of combat skills suitable for use in narrow terrain.

In this case, Fugan can only judge that it is a basic melee profession based on the characteristics of [Spin Slash].

It seemed that he noticed the disappointment in Xia Nan's eyes.

The barbarian looked up at the sky and suddenly stood up.

Turn around and leave the camp.

"Follow."

A dull voice came.

Xia Nan hurried to follow.

……

【Tooth hunt】

Although it originated from the highland tribes, the fighting skills themselves do not rely on "rage" which is the core strength of the barbarians.

It is just the purest physical skill under the catalysis of harsh natural environment.

So it's like the gap where two circles overlap.

It belongs to two basic professions at the same time:

[Warrior] and [Barbarian].

This is also one of the reasons why Fugan decided to teach [Tooth Hunting] to Xia Nan even though he was unable to confirm the ownership of [Spinning Slash].

On the other hand, the most critical thing.

It made him feel that Xia Nan didn't need to worry about having to start over again because of choosing the wrong type of combat skills.

Then...

"Crench."

The branches of the trees lying on the meadow were crushed by the fallen leather boots, making crisp sounds.

Xia Nan looked at the goblin cave in front of him, which had a foul smell and a familiar shape and appearance.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Again?"

In fact, I don't really resist it.

[Ya Shou] has been practicing facing the air for two days and has learned the basic force-generating techniques.

According to his impression of the barbarians' ways, it is indeed time to speed up the proficiency of their combat skills through actual combat.

After all, the other party also has limited time, so it is normal to be a little radical.

But what I didn't expect is,

This time, Fugang's actions were completely different from before.

Not only did he not restrain his breath in advance, he allowed the tremendous pressure from the high-level professionals to spread wildly in the air.

He also took the initiative to walk in front and led Xia Nan all the way into the cave.

While still in the corridor at the entrance, Xia Nan had already heard the panicked and terrified screams of the goblins deep in the cave who had sensed the uninvited guests.

immediately,

Ow—

The long and sharp howl of the wolf, accompanied by the cold wind, echoed among the stone walls.

Xia Nan felt goose bumps all over his body.

At the same time, those noisy and shrill cries seemed to be swallowed up by the wolf's howl and disappeared completely.

When the two men walked into the open space deep in the cave, nearly thirty goblins were lying on the ground, lying unconscious with their eyes rolled back.

In the entire venue, there was only a bear goblin who looked like he had just reached adulthood. He was clutching the hammer in his hand and trembling as he curled up in the corner of the cave.

Xia Nan looked strange.

He actually saw deep fear on the face of this brutal monster that ate raw meat and drank blood, killed countless low-level adventurers, and had a bad nature.

Fugan stopped and picked up a wooden stick from a goblin from the ground.

The surface is covered with frost.

Throw it gently in the direction of the bear goblin.

boom--

Ice crystals mixed with gravel exploded instantly in the dim cave.

The wooden stick was firmly embedded in the rock wall.

The bear goblin's right hand holding the weapon was also broken off and fell to the ground.

The force was controlled just right, and other than that, no harm was done to him.

He even considerately helped Xia Nan by sealing his wound with ice to prevent him from bleeding too much and losing his fighting power during training.

"Go."

He said so.
