Chapter 4 Is this fucking a goblin?
The sudden ambush, coupled with the injury to his mage teammate, made the fighter Ben instantly feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He turned around abruptly, his feet sinking into the ground as he assumed a basic fighting stance.
Upon closer inspection, he spat and cursed:
"You scared the hell out of me! I thought it was something else! A few green rats wouldn't even be enough to fill my teeth!"
He said that, but he didn't rush forward recklessly.
Goblins are creatures that even an ordinary person can handle if they are careful when they are together.
However, if the number exceeds three, even experienced adventurers may be injured, or even suffer a crushing defeat and death.
After all, two fists can't fight six hands. Under the repeated attacks, one can only defend and be worn down to death.
Yue Feng immediately took two steps back, shielding the two of them in front of him.
It's not that we're backing down, it's just that protecting Sovia is the top priority right now.
Yue Feng dared not gamble.
If Sovia dies, will I just disappear?
Although the [Blessing of Reignition] gave him the confidence to face death without fear, he did not want to fall back to the Earth Elemental Plane in such an inexplicable way.
Yue Feng never wanted to live those days again, staring at the rock strata all day and constantly on guard against his own kind forcibly merging with him.
Once his thoughts were clear, he quickly scanned the five goblins and, out of caution, brought up their character panels one by one.
pitchfork, stick, hoe, dagger...
As always, it has no abilities other than the rusty junk in its equipment inventory.
Wait a minute, where's the goblin panel with the spear?
"Don't be impulsive, Ben. Like yesterday, quickly divide the battlefield. I get three, you get two!"
Luca quickly devised a strategy, and as the team's temporary captain, he naturally took on more pressure.
"Don't try to make me laugh. Do you think the two of us can be taken down by five green-skinned beasts?"
Ben chuckled and cursed, "Damn weather! Damn goblins! Let's finish this quickly and call it a day. I'm going back to the tavern to drink ginger beer until I throw up!"
"Awoo, woowawawa."
The goblins wielding spears seemed to say a few words to their kind, after which they split into three groups of 2, 2, and 1.
Two against Ben, two against Luca, and the last one against Yue Feng.
"Who do you think you are?" Yue Feng adopted a boxing stance, taunting, "Come here, I'll twist your head off right now!"
The goblin's eyes darted around.
It showed no intention of approaching, but simply kept circling around Sovia's location.
The goblin had four or five rusty daggers tucked diagonally into its waistband. Before Yue Feng could get close, it raised its hand and hurled them at Sovia.
Forced to retreat in a sorry state, Yue Feng could only parry the flying daggers one by one with his fists.
In this back-and-forth exchange, the goblin was always able to maintain a relatively safe distance.
It's practically the best description of "big body, weak chrysanthemum; hairy body, weak fire; summoned creature, weak summoner."
"Damn! Let's see how many daggers you have!"
The feeling of being repeatedly pulled back and forth when you could easily defeat your opponent with a single punch is more unpleasant than swallowing a fly.
Fortunately, the longer it drags on, the more advantageous it will be for Yue Feng.
All he needs to do is keep an eye on the goblin in front of him and prevent it from harassing the two melee fighters, and the scales of victory will slowly tip in his favor.
On the left, Luca was single-handedly withstanding the attacks of two goblins in succession.
He hardly made any dodging movements; his longsword drew graceful arcs in the air, precisely parrying all the attacks that deflected him.
Clang, clang, clang, clang
As the goblin showed signs of fatigue, Luca seized the opportunity, held his longsword to his chest, and then suddenly exerted his strength.
[Thrust]!
The iron sword gleamed coldly in the moonlight and pierced straight into the goblin's neck!
With a 'splatter', the entire head fell to the ground, and foul-smelling blood gushed out like a fountain.
The movement didn't look like acceleration, but rather frame skipping.
Whether it's the recovery animation after blocking or the attack animation before striking, it's as if several frames have been skipped.
But it's not to the point where we need to blink to add frames.
"ah!!!"
A heart-wrenching wail rang out from the right.
Yue Feng's fake eyes remained fixed on the goblin in the distance, but the elemental spirit on his chest shifted its gaze to the direction of the sound.
The fighter was seen kneeling on one knee in the muddy ground where snow and water had mingled, his left shoulder pierced by a long spear.
Ben struggled to turn his head, his voice quickly weakening, "Help...help me."
The goblin stepped on Ben's chest and forcefully pulled the spear out from his shoulder, tearing flesh and bones with a hissing sound.
Then, it opened its mouth full of yellow teeth, its tongue dripping with saliva as it licked the little blood and bone fragments off the gun blade, a truly gruesome sight.
The other three goblins stopped fighting and immediately turned around and pounced on him.
The hoe smashed his right knee, the pitchfork pierced his left palm, and the dagger sliced open his belly, gushing out blood mixed with dark red intestines as they were brutally torn apart.
"Ah!! Let me go, you beasts..."
Before he could finish speaking, his jaw was shattered by a hoe that was raised high and then slammed down.
All that could be seen was the body's instinctive convulsions; it was already breathing more air than it could exhale, and was on the verge of death.
"Ugh~"
Lying on the ground, Sovia was so shocked by the bloody scene before her that she vomited repeatedly.
Just a few days ago, Yue Feng was still human. Seeing this scene, he felt a chill run down his spine.
However, the earth element lacks the ability to vomit; it can only mimic the behavior it remembers by spraying out two handfuls of fine sand.
Even Luca, who had considerable adventure experience, turned deathly pale instantly. This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a gruesome death of one of his kind.
Yue Feng never imagined that his side would suffer casualties.
Ben and Luca each had five goblin left ears in their backpacks; one of them should be more than enough to handle two at a time...
Ding!
Lines of semi-transparent text appeared belatedly in front of Yue Feng.

Yue Feng: ......
"Is that a goblin?"
At this moment, Sovia staggered to her feet, enduring the excruciating pain as she pulled out gauze and a splint from her medical kit and quickly immobilized her injured calf.
"Senior Luca, please be careful, their weapons are poisoned."
As soon as she spoke, Sovia seemed to remember something, her expression changed slightly, and she corrected herself, "No... it's not poison, it's feces. I only noticed it when I was cleaning the wound just now."
Luca completely ignored Sovia.
His gaze remained fixed on the goblin with the gun.
"How is this possible!"
Why do goblins know martial arts?
Luca took a step back, quickly scanning Sovia and the earth elemental beside him, then gazing at Ben, who was already dead in the distance. After a pause, he decided:
"I...I can't withstand that kind of attack. I have to...I have to report this news to...the Adventurers' Guild."
He uttered a nonsensical remark and turned to run wildly out of the Four Seasons Forest.
"I'm sorry, I...I have to survive."
The sound faded away.
"Damn it! Why are you running away! If we both attack together, we might have a chance!"
