Mages, Adventurers, and Women

The study of the fireball spell gave Li Wei some inspiration, and he further improved his mastery of the Mage's Hand, being able to control it to appear freely anywhere within a certain range, just like the fireball spell.

In the instant the goblin's head was pulled back, the other mage's hand, holding Julia's dagger, flew from where Livy and his companions were hiding to the goblin's throat.

puff-

The dagger slit the goblin's throat, and the venom it applied quickly seeped into the goblin's body.

Julia's arrows also came at that moment.

puff-

The mage's hand, which was originally gripping the goblin's hair, was blasted apart by an arrow.

The arrow struck the wooden post behind it with tremendous force, making a loud "bang"!

"Yulia! Aim and fire!"

Li Wei said angrily.

Yulia remained calm and composed, her emotions unaffected by the disturbance.

He drew his bow and shot again.

The arrow flew out with a "whoosh," and Li Wei clearly caught its trajectory—it had gone astray again.

He quickly manipulated the remaining mage hand, and after the goblin emitted a warning bang, he grabbed its head and stopped it in front of the trajectory of Yulia's arrow.

puff--

An arrow pierced the right cheek of the sword-wielding goblin.

It was a far cry from what Yulia had boasted about, which was "two fingers' width from the left eyebrow."

"It's too dark, visibility is poor."

“That’s what a wandering knight is like, Li Wei. Don’t look at me like that. You don’t understand wandering knights.”

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said:

"Put the ranger aside for now. The most important thing to do when we get back to Rolling Stone is to give you a combat coaching session on 'How to Avoid Killing Your Teammate with One Arrow in Battle'!"

The plan failed.

The dying explosion of the sword-wielding goblin startled the goblins inside the house.

Duro stared at the surging goblins, his legs trembling, and he swallowed hard.

"Li Wei...am I really going to my death?"

"Stop feeding! Defense! Defense!"

More than ten goblins rushed out of the wooden house carrying tattered weapons.

They screamed and charged at the four invading Li Wei.

Duron stood at the forefront, holding the wooden shield he had seized from the barbarians.

Unfortunately.

Li Wei did not spot the cunning goblin priest.

Goblin priests are highly intelligent.

He suspected that the other party had sensed something was wrong and had hidden away.

Julia kept drawing her bow and shooting arrows, but her accuracy was less than half that of Li Wei in bed.

Yulia was almost out of arrows when she finally managed to kill three goblins that were charging at the front.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, controlling the mage's hand, grasped Julia's poisoned dagger, seeking an opportunity to slit the throat of the charging goblin.

The first wave of attack was blocked.

Two more goblins carrying wooden baskets ran out of the wooden house.

They pulled out fist-sized dark blue stones from the wooden baskets behind them and hurled them at Li Wei and his companions with a "whoosh".

"Watch out, it's a sling goblin!"

The black stone was specially treated by the goblins.

The surface is covered with a layer of some kind of monster's venom.

After being blocked by the bones and Duron's wooden shield, the wooden shield was burned with two corroded holes.

Bone drew his broadsword and cleaved the charging goblin in two. Seeing five or six more goblins closing in, he shouted:

"Li Wei, let's fight these beasts!"

"Don't be impulsive, I'll deal with the sling goblins!"

Li Wei nimbly leaped to the right, dodging an ambush from a lurking goblin, and casually pushed Duron in front of him, calculating the distance between himself and the two slingering goblins.

Two fireballs suddenly appeared!

boom--

boom--

A fireball spell materialized on the chest of the stone-throwing goblin.

They blasted a charred brown hole in their chests.

After dealing with the slinger goblins, the remaining goblins still advanced and retreated in an orderly manner.

Duron's arm was slashed, revealing a deep cut. His ferocity was ignited. He threw aside his wooden shield, grabbed his machete, and charged forward to fight to the death.

Li Wei reacted quickly and grabbed Du Long.

He cursed:

"Your brain is as big as your height. There are at least a dozen goblins still alive, and several more are hiding in the shadows. If you rush out now, do you want to become goblin excrement?!"

Li Wei looked at the wooden house from which the two slingering goblins had run.

He then stopped Yulia, who was preparing to engage the goblin in close combat with a dagger, and instructed her:

"Yulia, I will use my mage's hand to retrieve the arrows for you. You then shoot all the arrows into that wooden house as quickly as possible!"

Julia obeyed, "Yes!"

Li Wei ordered Bones and Duron to fight to the death to protect him and Julia.

He manipulated the mage's hand to pick up the arrow that Julia had shot.

As arrows shot into the very large wooden house.

The goblins are visibly changing their attack methods.

They no longer attack.

Instead, they fought with Li Wei's sorcerer's hand for the arrows scattered on the ground.

"The goblin priest is indeed inside!"

Take advantage of this break.

Li Wei and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Yulia continued shooting arrows tirelessly.

Finally, there's a result.

A large goblin carrying a small, old goblin rushed out of the wooden house!

"Goblin Priest!"

"Goblin leader!"

Li Wei's eyes lit up: "That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"

The long-awaited fireball spell suddenly appeared.

They covered the goblin priest's head directly.

The raging flames fell.

The goblin priest's head was burned to a charred brown.

The goblin leader's back was charred from the explosion, and he lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.

Meanwhile, the remaining goblin statues in the goblin camp were put on hold.

then.

More than ten surviving goblins emitted uneasy popping sounds.

They attacked Li Wei and his companions in a chaotic and disorderly manner.

Bones grinned maliciously, grabbed his broadsword, and charged into the chaotic goblin horde, working with Li Wei to use his Mage Hand to finish off the remaining goblins.

"You green-skinned dwarves, feel the fear of the Bilal orc!"

Bone laughed wildly with complete ease.

……

The battle is over.

Li Wei and his three companions collapsed in exhaustion at the goblin camp.

The ground was littered with goblin corpses.

Li Wei felt extremely tired, as he had to observe the battlefield situation and prevent his teammates, whose bodies were driven by adrenaline, from running out to their deaths.

They are both father and mother to each other.

It felt like Samantha had been tormenting him for three days and three nights.

"They survived..."

Dulong touched the deep, bone-revealing wound and sighed with lingering fear.

The bone also had more than a dozen wounds, but not as severe as Duron's.

Li Wei and Julia were not injured, but they were both exhausted.

After a long rest.

Li Wei and the bones were collecting goblin fangs.

Then came the goblin priest's heart; cut open his chest, and a dark green heart was found nestled between grayish-brown bones.

Amazingly, the surface of the heart is covered with countless tiny tentacles, each of which branches out a thin thread that reaches into the goblin's brain.

The book "16,800 Ways to Kill a Goblin" mentions that the tentacles on the surface of the heart are the "weapons" used by the goblin priest to command the other goblins in battle.

The goblin leader can only use its fangs.

Its eight ribs are also good alchemical items and can fetch a good price.

All collected.

The team obtained 22 goblin fangs, 8 goblin chieftain ribs, and 1 goblin priest heart.

Exceeded the Adventurers' Guild's mission requirements.

They then proceeded to clean up the battlefield and collect supplies from the goblin camp.

They broke into the five wooden houses one by one.

The other four yielded little result.

The stench was unbearable.

A pile of leftover food scraps.

There was an unexpected find in the wooden hut where the goblin priest was hiding.

A dark, magical stone tablet was placed in the middle of the wooden house.

The surrounding area was covered by goblin priests with stones that shimmered with magical light and thumb-sized gems that contained magic.

"He wants to use these magical objects to awaken the magic stone tablet, and then use the magic power emanating from the magic stone tablet to heal his wounds?"

The magic stone tablet cannot be "forced to mature".

The goblin priest suffered from his lack of education.
