Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 99 Membrane Wing
Outside of Caranfor, in the wilderness.

"Huh...huh..."

Sparse weeds mixed with fine gravel quickly retreated on both sides of the road.

Shanann gasped for air, swinging his arms back and forth.

The light plate armor rubbed against the chain mail underneath, making a crisp sound of metal collision; the backpack behind him rose and fell violently with the high-speed movement of the body, and the chaotic sound of sporadic bumps could be faintly heard.

No extra thoughts.

The strange mushrooms of the same style as those in the goblin's lair, Fugan's sudden change of attitude, the fleeting majestic momentum, and the inexplicable move towards the town...

As a result, Xia Nan, who had already guessed the target of the barbarians along the way, just heard the other party asking him to run in the opposite direction.

Without any hesitation, he ran away.

There is a high probability that the powerful barbarian of the extraordinary level has crossed half the continent and chased the mysterious enemy from the far north to River Valley Town.

At this time, he was hiding in Kalanfor, a place he had visited once.

"who is it!?"

Sweat slid down his cheeks, splashing tiny, crystal clear water droplets on the ground.

"The priest dressed as a judge in the Church of the Sun, or the gravedigger living alone in the suburbs?"

Or maybe someone in the town, a stranger that he or she has never met before?
The chaotic thoughts, with the sudden change of situation, became tangled in my mind like a ball of wool.

The pace of my feet became faster and faster.

With his current strength, he would die if he got involved in a fight of this level.

Fergan gave himself twenty minutes.

He just hoped to use this short time to run as far as possible.

Don't let the aftermath of the battle...

"boom!!!"

A blinding white light suddenly burst out from behind him.

The countryside, which had been completely shrouded in darkness, was instantly illuminated as bright as day.

Xia Nan could even see a gopher running away in panic in the grass not far ahead.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and glanced behind him.

"Fuck!"

On the distant and blurred horizon, the subtle outlines of the town buildings of Caranfort are reflected.

It turned out to be a huge ball of light, as bright and blazing as a miniature sun!

The brilliant golden light that exuded a violent aura of order illuminated almost half of the night sky.

Even the extremely eye-catching stars in the sky were reduced to scattered points of light.

And below the ball of light, the originally orderly and densely packed buildings gradually disappeared and melted under the illumination of the sacred light.

"No, how come they even created a mushroom cloud!?"

Xia Nan was shocked. He lowered his head and walked faster.

And it was not until this time that the fiery air waves accompanied by burning winds and deep wolf howls finally arrived and hit his back.

"Hoohoo!"

The hair swung violently and the skin on the back of the neck felt slightly burning.

The air, which was originally fresh, suddenly became turbid.

A dark purple mist filled with the smell of decay permeated every corner of sight.

Those were bacterial spores blown in from afar.

Xia Nan instinctively wanted to hold his breath to prevent these tiny particles, which looked like bad things, from entering his abdominal cavity with his breath. But at this moment, he was in the middle of intense exercise, so how could he hold his breath for a long time?

He only lasted two seconds before he unconsciously opened his mouth and gasped.

At this point, I can't care about so much anymore.

Just try to run as far away as possible.

Instead of worrying about what will happen in the future, surviving the aftermath of the battle is the most important thing.

Fortunately, perhaps the long distance had greatly weakened the erosive ability of the spores.

With Xia Nan's current physical condition, even if he inhaled a lot, he would be able to recover after sneezing for two days at most.

"Clap!"

The stones that rolled to the ground were suddenly stepped into the mud by the thick leather boots falling from overhead.

Xia Nan moved his legs with all his strength.

The gradually dimming glow behind him, the increasingly loud and fierce wolf howls, and the increasingly thick purple mist in the air were like some kind of death warrant, driving his survival instinct.

Faced with the dangerous energy fluctuations coming from the town of Kalanfor, the animals and beasts that usually hide in the night also revealed their traces while fleeing.

Lop rabbits, guinea pigs, coyotes...

It seemed to have briefly forgotten the relationship between prey and predator, and it screamed as it ran through the mud and grass.

Overhead, there was the sound of weak flapping wings, mixed with painful howls.

It was like a glider making an emergency landing.

The blurry figure shrouded in darkness was swaying, and it swayed in an awkward arc and fell to a place more than ten meters in front of Xia Nan.

"Oh!"

Smoke and dust filled the air.

The sharp, high-frequency howling made the eardrums hurt, and a pungent smell of sulfur suddenly filled the air.

It was a ferocious monster with wings on its back.

On the long and narrow face that resembles a goat's skull, there is a pair of violent vertical pupils that emit scarlet blood in the night; it roars, and spews brown-green sulfur smoke from its mouth full of jagged teeth.

It is about four feet tall, with a hunched and lean body, protected by a pair of huge wings covered with thick bast membranes;

A sharp bone spur with a barb grew from the top of the head to the end of the long tail. At this moment, it was shaking violently because of the owner's excitement, as if it would leave the body and fly out in the next second.

Thorn Devil,

The low-level demons from hell are one of the most common demons in the eyes of the world.

It is not like the "Dukes" and "Grand Dukes" in the Nine Hells Lords, whose IQ far exceeds that of ordinary intelligent creatures;

Its strength is also far inferior to that of high-level demons such as the "Devil of Lust" and the "Devil of the Abyss".

Their combat power level is only one level higher than the inferior demons at the lowest end of the hell's food chain.

Therefore, in the huge and extremely dangerous Purgatory Legion, they usually appear as "messengers" and "scouts".

But if you underestimate it, the dozens of sharp bone spurs on its back that are strong enough to pierce through steel will teach you a painful lesson.

Although both are "low-level" monsters, the degree of danger of the Thorn Demon and the Goblin is almost completely different.

After all, the environment in which the former lives is one where even the air seems to be filled with evil, the legendary "Nine Levels of Hell".

In most of these places, ordinary people would not even survive for two minutes before dying due to the extremely harsh environment and all kinds of monsters that filled the wasteland.

The fact that the "Thorny Demon" can multiply in this evil land and become one of the most numerous monsters in hell is enough to show its strength.

Just looking at the "Challenge Level" which reflects the average danger level of each race:
The challenge rating of an ordinary goblin is 0.25 (1/4).
Its subspecies, the "hobgoblin" who has not yet obtained a professional level and has not learned any special skills such as combat skills, has a score of 0.5 (1/2).
Among the goblin races, the most powerful one, the bugbear who tore apart countless low-level adventurers, is exactly "1".
The challenge level of the Thorn Demon is——

2.
