Earth elemental begins to elbow strike wildly.

As the sun sets, its afterglow gradually disappears into the mountains and forests.

"Stop playing, little ones! Go home now. Goblins love to come out and snatch children after dark!"

Sovia's urging voice came from the edge of the field.

"Phew~"

Upon hearing this...

Yue Feng exhaled a handful of sand.

He then lifted the little boy, who was hanging in his arms, and carried him steadily on his head.

His name was Sini, and he seemed to be the leader of the group of children.

By the way, the little girl who gave him water earlier is named Rosie.

"Let's go home. We can catch the remaining ground squirrels later."

Although Yue Feng only spent the whole day catching rats, it had a remarkable effect on improving his clay modeling skills.

To prevent the digger rats from returning and ruining the wheat fields.

After killing a few rats, he would use his clay-shaping technique to fill and seal up all the underground tunnels.

I don't know why.

The act of sealing off the underground space made Yue Feng feel refreshed and incredibly relieved.

It's more stress-relieving than watching a hundred videos of tidying up cow hooves, Odbula bananas, or washing carpets.

*Gurgle, gurgle!*

A series of tremors from digging into the soil traveled from Yue Feng's feet into his elemental essence.

"Huh? How dare you dig in the ground right in front of me?"

"Wait a minute, something's not right!"

Yue Feng felt the vibrations being transmitted to him.

The digging speed was extremely fast, clearly beyond the capabilities of small animals like digging rats.

He immediately and slowly put the little boy off his shoulder, pointed towards Oak Leaf Village, and said:

"You guys go home quickly! I need to go check the back."

Although the children couldn't understand what the earth elemental was saying, they were all very obedient and lined up to leave the wheat field together.

Watching the children walk away, Yue Feng immediately moved and ran towards the direction from which the rustling sound came from behind.

"Thump thump thump thump!"

Parting the chest-high green wheat, two goblins were seen crouching in the wheat field.

Beside it were two giant rats, each the size of a medium to large hunting dog, diligently digging in the soil.

The giant rats dragged two old linen bags out of the soil.

The bag was stuffed full, and grains of wheat fell into the muddy ground through the seams of the cloth.

A goblin cautiously looked up and around, just in time to bump into an earth elemental charging towards it from afar.

"Eeya!"

The goblin roared.

As if they had been prepared, the two green goblins mounted the giant rat and sped away.

"Holy crap, goblins riding rats, are they rat riders?"

While he was still in a daze, the two rat riders had already darted several meters away.

At this speed, in the past, Yue Feng would have run his legs off and still not been able to touch the exhaust fumes.

but!

"Martial Arts: Charge!"

"Buzz!"

The shield-shaped rock slab sculpted by Yue Feng's right arm emitted a strange buzzing sound.

The earth elemental leaped forward, rushing off like an arrow released from a bow.

"Thump thump thump thump!"

In the blink of an eye, the distance between Yue Feng and the rat cavalry was reduced by more than half.

But after the force of his feet exploded, his body slowed down immediately.

Charge is a short-range burst martial skill and cannot be used consecutively.

Even Yue Feng's body of earth and stone could hardly withstand the forced use of this technique.

If speed isn't enough, then make up for it with range!

"Martial Arts Technique: Throw!"

A prismatic rock cone shot out from Yue Feng's right fist, heading straight for the goblin's head.

The goblin noticed the commotion behind it, grabbed the giant rat's left ear and spun around, barely avoiding the incoming rock spikes.

However, its speed decreased sharply after the sudden turn, and it was blocked by the earth element.

"Phew~ You almost got away, you green rat."

Yue Feng protected his head with his fists, watching the other rat rider run further and further away, thinking to himself.

I need to level up my Charge skill as soon as possible.

Its burst speed is indeed rapid, but its decline is even faster.

His gaze was fixed on the rat cavalry in front of him. Facing this combination he had never seen before, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"View panel!"

The next second, the gray light in the corner of his eye went out.

Ding.

"A waste of time, they're just easy targets, one punch each."

Yue Feng closed the character panel, circulated the rock sand within his body, and pushed the forepaw joint of Kunamota in the giant stomach to his right fist.

A section of crimson tarsal bone replaced the rock and sand, becoming his fist.

The goblin found its escape route blocked.

It could only squeak twice before charging straight toward the earth elemental, beast and rat alike.

"Ha! Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Yue Feng didn't even bother with the Thousand Spinning Technique; he simply threw a hook punch at the opponent's face.

The goblin immediately countered with a thrusting attack.

"Squeak!"

The rusty dagger snapped in two the instant it touched the spider's forepaw.

Subsequently, the right arm bone holding the sword could not withstand the enormous force and broke open.

The goblin was slammed down by the earth elemental's punch and sent flying off the giant rat's back.

"Ah! Ah!"

It clutched its broken arm tightly, wailing incessantly.

Before he could even let out two shouts, Yue Feng punched him so hard that his temple caved in.

"Now the rat cavalry are left with only soldiers abandoning rats."

Yue Feng didn't give the giant rat time to escape.

"Martial Arts: Charge!"

With a 'whoosh', Yue Feng crashed into the giant rat and ended its life with two powerful punches.

The entire battle, from its start to its end, lasted less than a minute.

He walked forward, carrying the goblin in one hand and pulling the giant rat's tail with the other, back to the spot where he had encountered the monster.

He activated the rock sand within his body, shaping a brand new arm beside him. He picked up the wheat sack and walked step by step toward Oak Leaf Village.

Ding.

......

"Sovya! Sovya! Sovya!"

Yue Feng, carrying the two dead demons, wandered around the village shouting at the top of his lungs.

He didn't know where Sovia lived, so he could only resort to the simplest and most brutal method.

"Knock knock knock".

"Hello, could you tell me where Sovia lives?"

The earth element knocked politely on the door and asked.

"ah!!"

The woman inside the house screamed in terror when she saw the earth elemental covered in foul-smelling blood.

"Mom, Mr. Tu is a helper that Sister Sovia found. Don't scare him."

Rosie, the little girl who had brought water to Yue Feng, spoke up to offer some words of comfort.

"Mr. Tu, your sister Sovia is looking for you everywhere."

Not long after.

Guided by Rossi, Yue Feng successfully found Sovia's residence.

At this moment, Sovia's house is quite lively.

Many young and middle-aged men from the village gather here.

"Village chief, it seems that the neighboring Moxiang Village was attacked by goblins a few days ago."

"Shouldn't we send someone over to find out the details, so we can take precautions in advance?"

Without concrete information, the villagers would never be willing to pay for adventurers.

This is why commissions to exterminate goblins only appear after a disaster has occurred.

Normally, only hunters who go into the mountains to hunt have the chance to encounter goblins in advance.

"Clang!"

The wooden door was pushed open.

Yue Feng strode in, carrying the corpses of two demons on his shoulders.
