Chapter 004: Goblin Chief

Jinshi and Wang Chao, who should have perished in the earthquake, were fortunate enough to survive. These two individuals share a close relationship with Xiao Yu. Although they are not in the same field, they lived in the same dormitory and have a background in fine arts. Xiao Yu is studying art education, while the other two are studying design.

The crowd gazed at the bodies strewn across the ground, with various entrails, blood, and brain matter everywhere. The corpses of teachers and students lay in disarray, alongside many short goblin bodies. A wave of turmoil surged within each person's heart.

Jinshi weighed the wooden stick in his hand, his tiger-like eyes widened as he shouted, "Alright, let's go!" The two of them charged simultaneously towards several goblin slaves.

Goo goo! Goo goo!

Despite being an art student, Jinshi excels in various sports. During last year's sports meet, he single-handedly claimed the overall championship in multiple events. His physical condition easily allows him to handle one or two goblins, but unfortunately, Jinshi found himself in a goblin den, being pursued by over a dozen goblin slaves, leaving him no choice but to flee in a disheveled manner

Xiao Yu recognized it; it was a goblin chief

Defeat occurs in an instant

The goblin lost its target and unleashed its fury upon Xiao Yu. After a series of strange, chattering cries, it began to pursue him. Xiao Yu's current physical condition was about twice that of an ordinary person, but even so, it was impossible to confront more than a dozen aggressive goblins at once. Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and started to run.

Not far away, Jiang Xiaowen was also panting heavily. She had also killed two goblin slaves, gaining a certain level of enhancement; otherwise, with her physical condition, she would have fallen behind long ago

Gurgling! The goblin chief let out a shriek, raising his knife and swinging it forcefully.

This feeling is the joy of surviving a catastrophe, and even more so, the exhilaration of achieving victory in a bloody battle

The goblin chief did not pursue; instead, he slowly walked to the center of the ruins, raised his large blade, and let out a series of defiant roars, indicating that this place would be their new territory

In the southern forest, over two hundred gaunt goblin slaves emerged once again, armed with wooden clubs. Alongside these two hundred goblin slaves were an additional forty to fifty relatively sturdy goblin warriors, each wielding a short spear in one hand and a wooden shield in the other. At the center stood a particularly large goblin, towering above the rest with blue skin, clad in severely worn leather armor, wearing a wolfskin helmet, and gripping a large knife full of nicks. It was half a body taller than any other goblin, creating an immediate impression of standing out like a crane among chickens.

Wang Chao gasped for breath while running, shouting: "I can't run anymore, I'm about to collapse, the fat master can't keep going!"

A dozen or so goblins brandished wooden clubs and pursued relentlessly. Their legs were short and shackled, and while their speed was certainly not fast, their endurance was astonishing. Even after Xiao Yu circled the large square twice, they did not give up the chase

Wang Chao tossed a stick to him and said nonchalantly, "You big fool, there aren't many monsters left. Those damned creatures have killed so many classmates. Damn it, let's go kill a couple to vent our anger!"

At that moment, a thin, bespectacled person, looking like a bookworm, gasped and exclaimed: "Xiao Yu... I can't go on, really can't, can we take a break?" This person was known to Xiao Yu; he was a classmate named Sun Qichao. He had severe myopia, and his glasses were nearly as thick as a beer cap. However, he was a nice person, very cheerful and humorous. They often played games online together, and their relationship was quite good.

The goblin chief is a first-tier monster that has evolved some intelligence. Its strength is absolutely sufficient to deal with one hundred ordinary goblin slaves. Additionally, there is a group of goblin warriors whose combat power far exceeds that of the goblin slaves. Coupled with two hundred goblin slaves lined up in an orderly fashion, it can undoubtedly cause significant casualties

Three times the physical condition of an ordinary person may not seem like much at first glance, but it is certainly not as simple as one plus one plus one. Now, for Xiao Yu, there is hardly any difference from a superhuman in the eyes of ordinary people. His speed can effortlessly surpass that of the world sprint champion, and his strength can easily exceed that of the world weightlifting champion. Additionally, his reflexes and cognitive abilities have also significantly improved.

An unusual sound emerged from the dense forest

Everyone did not let out a sigh of relief, and from the direction of the forest came a low, mournful sound of a horn, "Wooooo!"

This is a typical tropical rainforest climate, where the humidity between the jungle is extremely high, and the dense branches block most of the sunlight. Water vapor evaporates under high temperatures, making the air unbearably stuffy, causing feelings of chest tightness, irritability, and difficulty in breathing. As time passes, many individuals with weaker physical strength gradually fall behind; after running for several minutes, less than one-fifth of the original group can keep up. Fortunately, the earth spirits have ceased their pursuit.

Jinshi's father is a painter, and his mother is a graphic designer. From a young age, he had a strong physique and a particular passion for sports, with the dream of becoming an athlete. However, due to family circumstances, he was compelled to take up the brush and learn to paint. Despite lacking innate talent, through the supervision and guidance of esteemed teachers, along with years of diligent practice, he ultimately succeeded in gaining admission to an art academy

Xiao Yu rushed down from the ruins, gripping a wooden stick as if he were playing whack-a-mole, smashing one goblin's head after another. Under the immense force, the goblins' heads were crushed, and in the blink of an eye, he absorbed over a dozen clusters of essence. However, as the absorption of essence increased, the enhancement effect declined sharply. By the time he absorbed the last cluster of essence, his physical strength was approximately three times that of an average person

Is this acceptable as well

The monsters here are not merely NPCs from a computer game; they possess a sense of territory, yet this does not mean that their activity is confined solely within their territory. These monsters exist in reality and exhibit a high degree of mobility, making it impossible to predict where they might appear.

Within the dense, pristine jungle, the ground is covered with various herbaceous plants and shrubs, with intertwining tree roots protruding from the soil, alongside numerous boulders of varying sizes, all coated with a layer of moss. Navigating this complex and rugged terrain at breakneck speed is an extremely exhausting endeavor. Moreover, countless venomous insects and snakes lurk in the surroundings, and many plants possess lethal toxins, making each step fraught with danger

A portion of the goblins, under its command, continues to pursue the fleeing humans

"Stone, run over there, quickly! Find a place to hide!" Xiao Yu said, brandishing a wooden stick as he charged towards the goblins, forcefully throwing a large handful of crushed stone and dust. The goblins screamed and covered their eyes, immediately halting their pursuit, allowing Jin Shi to safely reach a secure location.

Damn it, why are they relentlessly pursuing me? This is truly troublesome

Xiao Yuling had a sudden inspiration and led a dozen or so goblin slaves towards the ruins of a teaching building. His movements were extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye, he dashed to the top of the ruins. In contrast, the dozen or so goblin slaves were much slower. Their intelligence was low, and their attention was entirely focused on Xiao Yu, resulting in them accidentally stepping into the gaps between the stones, or getting their shackles' chains stuck in the reinforced concrete, making it nearly impossible for them to move. They could only let out angry roars directed at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu clearly saw a gray shadow flash by in the bushes, and his expression suddenly changed as he said: "Run quickly, do not stop for any reason; whoever stops will die"

More than forty goblin warriors simultaneously hurled their short spears, sending them flying towards the crowd with a terrifying gust of wind

During this chaotic battle, Han Kexin caught the attention of many. This seductive goddess displayed a scene of wisdom and ferocity; in the face of monstrous threats, she exhibited remarkable calmness and bravery, almost second only to Xiao Yu. She understood how to utilize the terrain to divide the groups of monsters and employed various obstacles to hinder their movements. Each of her attacks was precise and ruthless. As she killed several monsters and gained greater strength, she became increasingly adept at dealing with the goblins.

Crying! You women only know how to cry. Can crying kill the monster?

This battle is entirely unnecessary, as the enemy is too numerous and possesses great combat strength. It is possible that an entire goblin tribe has mobilized, and there may even be more formidable goblin creatures, such as goblin warriors, goblin knights, goblin generals, and even goblin lords. If they were to appear, it would be certain that no one could escape.

Kill, these monsters are nothing to be afraid of

Suddenly

Persevere a little longer

"Damn it, there's actually a goblin chief!" Xiao Yu shouted loudly, "Stop fighting, everyone run for your lives!"

Jiang Xiaowen was quite clever; seizing the opportunity, she picked up a large stone and, with great effort, brought it down forcefully onto the goblin's head

Ah, the monster has appeared again

Xiao Yu had not yet spoken

You are right, kill them, we can gain strength and become more powerful

A small, nail-sized sphere of light shot into her forehead

A student only saw a flash of green light, and before he could clearly see the appearance of the goblin leader, the blade's radiance had brutally sliced him in half, leaving a shocking scar on the ground. The goblin leader pushed off the ground, his robust body transforming into a green shadow, charging into a crowd. Where he passed, severed limbs and broken arms flew chaotically, and the people were killed, crying out for their parents, utterly powerless to resist. This was not a battle; it was simply a massacre. The goblin leader pushed off the ground, his robust body transforming into a green shadow, charging into a crowd.

This was not a battle; it was simply a massacre.

The sounds of screams rose and fell in succession

The same group of bloodthirsty young men picked up the wooden sticks dropped by the goblin slaves and charged towards the more than 200 goblins with a loud roar

These short spears contain astonishing power; after piercing one person's body, they still retain enough force to shoot down a second individual. In this frenzied group of attackers, five or six people fell at the very first encounter.

Jinshi was also taken aback, "So this is how one can deal with a large group of monsters!"

At the moment when Xiao Yu was suffering from a headache, he suddenly saw a goblin not far away chasing Jiang Xiaowen. Jiang Xiaowen was clearly terrified, stumbling into a pile of building ruins. As a result, during the pursuit, the goblin accidentally tripped over a raised concrete slab and fell.

With a loud crash

The goblin warrior picked up the spear once more and hurled it, piercing and killing one body after another, with some being impaled onto the large trees.

Xiao Yu seemed very familiar with the forest, leading the group through the thickets. Although his mind was racing, constantly recalling the environmental conditions of the forest and devising a relatively safe and accessible escape route.

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Yu to shout; the terrifying combat power of the goblin leader shocked everyone. No one would be foolish enough to seek death, so they quickly split into numerous streams of people and began to flee into the forest. Xiao Yu, along with Jin Shi and Wang Chao, rushed into the woods, with at least two hundred people following behind him, including a few classmates, such as Jiang Xiaowen, and Han Kexin was also among them.

The goblin leader struck the back of the blade forcefully, letting out a strange cry towards the sky, as if issuing a command for attack. Two hundred goblin slaves surged forward simultaneously. Leading the charge, it bent its body forward like a swift leopard pouncing, swinging the large knife downwards, a three-meter-long azure blade light bursting forth from the damaged edge, descending with a fierce momentum.

A group of delicate female voices fell into complete despair

Wuwu, are we really going to die here

More than 200 goblins were nearly killed, while over 2,000 surviving students and teachers from the earthquake managed to break through the goblin encirclement and escape into the forest. Among the remaining individuals, over 400 fell permanently, most of whom perished during the first wave of the goblin assault. By the time they reacted, even a girl would often not run faster than a goblin. Many bold individuals, after experiencing extreme fear, instead awakened their inherent ferocity and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the goblins. Although a significant number were killed as a result, some were able to enhance their strength through this experience.

Otherwise, there is only death

Wang Chao exclaimed loudly: "Alright, that feels great! Well done! These damn little bastards deserve this, let's finish them off!"

Run away, run for your life!

Han Kexin defeated the fifth goblin and, after absorbing its essence, felt her stamina and strength reach new heights. When she prepared to search for the next monster, she found that there were no goblin slaves left to kill in the vicinity. This brutally bloody battle ultimately ended in victory for humanity.

Giggling

Gurgle! Gurgle!
