Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 97 Run

The mushrooms found in the goblin's lair should be related to something that the barbarian Fugan is pursuing.

Maybe it was too dangerous, or maybe it was because the situation was really urgent.

Even though Xia Nan has already pushed the progress to the final step, he only needs to move forward a little bit more to completely master [Tooth Hunting].

Still had to follow the other party back to the nearest human gathering place.

There was nothing to complain about, it was just a few days and he had enough patience.

What's more, after making the discovery, Fugan did not leave directly to search deep in the forest, but decided to send himself back to the town first.

It's just that considering Xia Nan's current strength, it is too risky to return to the city alone from the Misty Forest.

Xia Nan had no intention of getting involved in such events involving extraordinary levels.

A high-level professional could teach him for just two days and he would be able to learn a precious combat skill that he had practiced for many days with countless skill books but had never made any progress;

Similarly, in a fight between strong men of this level, if he were to just slightly touch upon it, the aftermath alone would be enough to kill him numerous times.

Now what Xia Nan needs to do is clear:
Follow the barbarians' arrangements and stay safely in the town.

Just like when they came, they swept through with overwhelming force.

The return trip for both of them was also smooth.

The frosty wind from the northern ice fields is enough to deter 99.99% of the creatures outside the misty forest from approaching.

It took a total of one and a half days to get back to the city, and the only monster Xia Nan saw was a thorn demon that came from nowhere.

I don't know whether it's reckless or smart.

Although he clearly sensed the barbarians' extraordinary aura, he still moved towards them driven by hunger and desire.

But it did not initiate an attack. It just flapped its wings in panic and fled wailing when it was glanced at by Fugan from a distance through the fog and woods.

It is worth mentioning that after learning from the barbarians that the nearest town to this place was Caranfor, where he had just visited a few days ago.

To be on the safe side, Xia Nan also carefully chose his words and told the other party what happened in the town.

Naturally, he omitted and blurred the part about how he killed Ingram.

The point was just to explain to the other party that the town was still peaceful without the sheriff, a strange phenomenon as if nothing had happened.

And the presence of two suspected high-level professionals in the town—the church pastor, and the old gravedigger who lives alone in the suburbs.

There was still no reaction on Fugan's frosty face.

In a land where the holy emblem of the sun god "Amaunator" shines, nothing is more important than adhering to social constancy and maintaining order.

Not to mention a small sheriff, even if a pastor in a church suddenly dies, it will not have any impact on the daily life of the entire town.

The residents of the town even had to wait until the weekend to discover that the pastor presiding over the services in the church had been replaced by a new pastor.

As for high-level professionals...

As one of the most prosperous large human gathering places outside of River Valley Town near the Misty Forest, Kalanfor is very important to both the Church of the Sun and adventurers in the surrounding areas.

There is nothing strange about having extraordinary professionals stationed and settled in the town.

The mist in the air slowly dissipated, and the dense bushes and oak trees around gradually became sparse.

When Xia Nan stood on the muddy and rutted country road and saw the outline of a house with smoke rising in the distance.

The sky had grown dark, and the dim twilight was pressing down on the setting sun.

Fugang, who was beside him, stopped.

He had no intention of entering the town to rest, and sending Xia Nan here was already his limit.

The loud wolf howl that kept echoing in his heart and the icy chill that penetrated into his bones urged him to go back and pursue the target of revenge hidden in the depths of the misty forest.

Fugang looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with two swords on his back.

Coincidentally, the tracking ability granted by [Frostbinder] can help him lock the general direction of the enemy, but it does not have the ability to accurately locate the enemy. If he had not temporarily accepted the commission of his former teammate Zisi, he would have taken this new adventurer named "Xianan" to the forest to train his combat skills.

He was afraid that he might really miss the important clues in the goblin's nest.

Huhum——

The flashing icy light and the biting cold wind, under the control of Fugang's mind, penetrated into Xia Nan's skin through the pores and soaked his muscles and bones.

Based on my observations over the past few days, Xia Nan's training intensity is combined with his extraordinary speed of improvement.

Before the cold energy runs out, it should be enough for the opponent to learn the basic fighting skills.

I noticed that the barbarian was standing still and no longer moving forward.

Feel the coldness of the surrounding air entering your body.

Xia Nan also understood that it was time to say goodbye.

It's a pity that I haven't had time to learn the basics of [Tooth Hunting].

He tightened the heavy backpack behind him - it contained the spoils and supplies he had collected over the past few days.

They had only known each other for a few days and there was a huge gap in their abilities, so naturally there was no question of friendship between them.

The barbarian's taciturn character, like ice and rock, makes it even more difficult to approach him.

After so many days, Xia Nan still hasn't figured out the other party's specific attitude, so he is being cautious in everything he does.

There was nothing more to say at the moment.

After a brief goodbye, he turned around and walked towards the city of Kalanfor.

Thinking in my heart:

The town's previous sheriff, Ingram, was killed by himself. Although his motives were evil, the matter seemed to have been suppressed by the church.

But he still couldn't let his guard down. It would be best not to stop and take the time to see if there was a convoy heading to River Valley Town. Tomorrow morning...

"and many more."

Behind him, a barbarian's deep and heavy voice suddenly came.

I subconsciously stopped and turned to look.

I saw that Fugang was still standing there, but his cold ice-blue eyes were staring at the roadside.

In the shadows cast by the dense grass,
There was a dark purple mushroom falling.

"You should know the direction of River Valley Town?"

Not knowing what was going on, Xia Nan had a surprised expression on his face and just nodded subconsciously.

"You have twenty minutes."

Fugan slowly raised his head. The sudden cold wind around him caused the wolfskin cloak he was wearing to shake violently.

The gaze, wrapped in an invisible pressure, seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier of space, passing by Xia Nan and looking far away at Kalanfor behind him.

A high-pitched and excited wolf howl sounded slightly, but was soon suppressed and dissipated along with the cold wind and icy mist.

In the blink of an eye, all the abnormal noises subsided.

The only sound in the air was the quiet chirping of insects echoing in the woods.

It's like an adventurer who has just finished a mission and is planning to return to the city to rest.

Fugang walked slowly towards the city of Kalanfor.

"Do not look back."

"run."
