Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

The fist slammed solidly into Xu Tian's back armor.

But the next second, the attacker's ferocious expression froze, replaced by disbelief and terror.

"Crack!"

A bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted from the surface of the armor.

The [Frost Attachment] modifier was triggered instantly, and frost spread wildly from the point where the fist landed, freezing the goblin's entire right arm, along with half of its shoulder, into a crystal-clear ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

Almost simultaneously, the "Counterattack" entry was launched.

An invisible yet immense force rebounded from within the armor, its power several times stronger than the punch thrown by the attacker himself.

The goblin heard a cracking sound from its sternum as it flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of dark green blood in mid-air.

Xu Tian's health bar fluctuated slightly the instant he was attacked, and then...

[Vampirism] triggered.

Chapter 83 I'll Assemble the Head

A warm surge of life energy flowed back through the armor, instantly replenishing the health lost in the earlier shock.

Xu Tian felt a surge of energy.

"court death".

He didn't even turn around; he just retaliated with a counter-attack.

In an instant, the spear tip pierced the heart of the goblin, which was still in mid-air and whose body was still bound by frost, with unparalleled precision.

The flames surged into its body instantly, igniting it from the inside out, and seconds later it turned into charred pieces of flesh that fell to the ground.

The surrounding elite goblins retreated in horror, keeping a safe distance of more than ten meters from Xu Tian.

Their pupils flashed with surprise and uncertainty, and they dared not approach easily again.

"Not playing anymore?"

"That's not up to you."

Before he finished speaking, his boots, enchanted with [Haste] and [Knockback], suddenly exerted force.

"boom!"

A shockwave erupted from the ground, and Xu Tian's figure transformed into a crimson afterimage, instantly tearing apart the distance between himself and the goblin horde, and crashing headlong into the center of the enemy formation.

An elite goblin reacted quickly, leaping backward without hesitation to try and create distance.

"Want to run?"

In the midst of his charge, Xu Tian instantly sheathed his spear, his other hand already gripping the enchanted longbow, its entire body radiating firelight, the [Diffusion] attribute faintly visible on the bow.

Nock the arrow, draw the bow, release the string—all in one smooth motion.

"call out!"

The burning arrow flew from the bow and struck the goblin, which was still in mid-air with nowhere to grab its weight.

"Boom!"

The moment the arrow struck, a terrifying burst of fire erupted.

Not only did it completely engulf the target, but the scorching sparks scattered like a torrential rain over the entire area within a five-meter radius.

Seven or eight ordinary goblins, unable to dodge in time, were hit by sparks and immediately let out a miserable howl.

In just a few breaths, that area turned into a rolling sea of ​​fire, and the stench of burning permeated the air.

"I see……"

Xu Tian stood there, watching the goblin struggling and howling in the sea of ​​fire, and nodded thoughtfully.

"It's not that Old Cat's turtle style is ineffective, but rather that a purely defensive counter-attack style is indeed easily countered and restrained when facing elite monsters that are intelligent, know how to cooperate, and are good at probing."

"It must be combined with proactive, wide-ranging lethal methods to force them to respond."

On the other side of the battlefield.

"Die!"

Niu Niu roared and brandished his long knife.

Before him stood three ordinary goblins, who were powerless against the enchanted weapon's attacks and were quickly cut into pieces.

But soon, four elite goblins flanked him from the side and surrounded him.

Niu Niu had no choice but to switch from offense to defense, wielding his longsword to create a screen of light, barely managing to block the attacks coming from all directions.

He glanced at the area not far away that was surrounded by ten elite monsters, yet strangely no battle had broken out, and couldn't help but shout.

"Hey, Old Cat, this monster's pretty easy to beat. Why are you getting constipated? I think your turtle-like fighting style isn't up to par. Want me to come over and help you out?"

"Need not!"

Chen Xu shouted to those around him.

His current situation is extremely awkward.

Ten elite goblins surrounded him, but none of them launched an attack.

They maintained a distance of about five meters, forming a perfect encirclement, occasionally throwing out a short spear or two to harass, but never engaging in close combat.

Chen Xu tried to charge ahead, but as soon as he charged in one direction, the goblins in that direction would quickly retreat, while those in other directions would immediately close in, maintaining an encirclement.

His prized [Frostbite] and [Counterattack] stats were completely rendered useless by the opponent's cowardly tactic of surrounding him without engaging in direct combat.

"Fuck..."

Chen Xu gripped the shield.

"These bastards have gotten smarter..."

The wind and snow in the air witnessed this scene, and a clear, cold voice rang out on the channel.

"Brother Cat, should we send the wolf pack over to scatter them?"

"Need not".

Chen Xu gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused.

"I'll do it myself."

His gaze swept rapidly across the chaotic battlefield.

Burning walls of fire, howling goblins, teammates charging through the enemy ranks, and iron golems that rampage through the enemy ranks like mobile fortresses.

Chen Xu's gaze was fixed on an iron golem that was smashing a goblin into a bloody pulp with its fist.

That towering three-meter-tall steel body, that simple and brutal punch...

A crazy idea entered his mind.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Chen Xu suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter. His laughter was so wild and unrestrained that it even drowned out the sounds of battle on the battlefield, causing the ten elite goblins around him and his teammates who were fighting hard nearby to pause in surprise.

"Could Old Cat have really been driven mad by Niu Niu's words?"

Life is like a first encounter; an arrow pierces the throat of a goblin, who looks this way with concern.

"Break through defenses my ass."

Chen Xu's laughter stopped abruptly, but his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

"Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, everyone. Today, I'll let your Cat Brother teach you what a new fighting style is."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he did something that left everyone speechless.

He sheathed his shield and longsword, then turned and ran.

But he wasn't running in the direction of breaking through or reuniting with his teammates; instead, he was running straight towards the nearest iron golem.

"Stop him."

Although puzzled, the elite goblins surrounding him instinctively gave chase.

Chen Xu ignored the pursuers behind him.

Just as he was about to be caught, he suddenly threw a round stone at his feet with his right hand.

"despair!"

The moment your foot touches the stone, the second round stone appears at a higher position.

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

With three quick steps, he rose five meters into the air in just two seconds, followed by a clean and decisive leap of faith.

It landed on the iron golem's broad right shoulder.

"call……"

Chen Xu let out a long sigh, adjusted his posture, and then sat down directly on the iron golem's square head.

"Hold on tight, buddy, we're about to get some action."

The iron golem seemed to pause for a moment, its massive head turning slightly to the side, the red light in its eye sockets sweeping over the human sitting on its head.

However, since the player was classified as a friendly unit by the system, it did not react by attacking or driving away the player, but simply continued to execute the core command to clear all hostile creatures within its line of sight.

"So now..."

Chen Xu grinned.

“I will form the head.”

He reached into his backpack with both hands, and when he pulled them out, he was holding the pair of enchanted claws in his palms.

The three keywords, 【Grab】【Stable】【Range】, flowed across the claw blade.

He looked down at the ten elite goblins below, who were looking up at him with surprise and uncertainty, and his smile grew even brighter.

"Weren't you having a great time surrounding me just now?"
