Chapter 4: Goblin Leader
Black and Cassius, who should have died in the earthquake, were lucky to survive. The two guys had a close relationship with Drax. Although they were not in the same major, they lived in the same dormitory and were both born in the art world. Drax studied art education, while the two of them studied design.
Black's father was a painter and his mother was a graphic designer. He had a good physique since he was a child and loved sports. His dream was to be an athlete. He was forced to pick up a brush and learn to paint because of family reasons. Although he was not very talented, he was successfully admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts with the supervision and guidance of famous teachers and years of hard training.
Although Black was an art student, he was not bad in all aspects of sports. During the sports meeting last year, he won the championship of multiple sports events. His physique was no problem for dealing with one or two goblins, but the unlucky Black plunged into the goblin's nest and was chased by more than a dozen goblin slaves at the same time. He could only choose to escape in a panic.
"Shitou, run over there, quick! Find a place to hide!" Drax said, holding a wooden stick and rushing towards Blake, throwing a handful of gravel and dust at the goblins. The goblins screamed and covered their eyes, and immediately stopped chasing. Blake ran to a safe place smoothly.
"Jigu!"
The goblins lost their target and poured their anger on Drax. After a burst of strange chirping, they chased after him. Drax's current physique is about twice that of an ordinary person, but even so, it is impossible to face more than a dozen aggressive goblins at the same time. He turned around and started running without even thinking about it.
More than a dozen goblins waving wooden sticks chased after him. They had short legs and were shackled. Although they were not fast, their endurance was amazing. They let Drax go around the square twice without giving up the pursuit.
"D*mn, why are they chasing me? This is really troublesome!"
When Drax was having a headache, he suddenly saw a goblin chasing Seraphina not far away. Seraphina was obviously frightened and stumbled into the ruins of a pile of buildings. As a result, during the pursuit, the iron chain under the goblin's feet accidentally tripped over a raised cement slab and fell.
Seraphina was also quite clever. She took the opportunity to pick up a big stone and smashed it hard on the goblin's head.
With a crash.
A ball of light as big as a fingernail shot into her forehead.
"Is this okay?"
Drax suddenly had an idea and led a dozen goblin slaves to the ruins of a teaching building. He was very agile and rushed to the top of the ruins in a blink of an eye. In contrast, the dozen goblin slaves were much slower. Their intelligence was not high, and their attention was all on Drax. As a result, they accidentally stepped into the gap of the stone pile, or the iron chain of the shackles was stuck by the steel and concrete, making it almost impossible to move. They could only roar at Drax angrily.
Drax rushed down from the ruins, holding a wooden stick in both hands like playing whack-a-mole, smashing the goblins' heads one by one under the huge force, and absorbed more than a dozen balls of essence in a blink of an eye. However, as more and more essence was absorbed, the strengthening effect was declining sharply. When he absorbed the last ball of essence, his physique was about three times stronger than that of a normal person.
Three times the physique of an ordinary person may not seem much at first glance, and it is definitely not as simple as one plus one plus one. For ordinary people, Drax is now no different from Superman. His speed can easily surpass the world sprint champion, and his strength can effortlessly surpass the world weightlifting champion. In addition, his reaction ability has also been greatly improved in all aspects.
Seeing this, Cassius shouted loudly: "Great, so refreshing! Well done! These d*mn dwarfs deserve it, kill them!"
Blake was also shocked, "So you can deal with a large group of monsters like this!"
Cassius threw a stick to him and said carelessly: "Silly big guy, there are not many monsters left. These d*mn ghosts killed so many classmates. D*mn it, let's kill two to relieve our hatred!"
Blake weighed the stick in his hand, glared at it, and shouted: "Okay, let's go!" The two rushed towards several goblin slaves at the same time.
In this melee, Ophelia attracted many people's attention. This s*xy goddess showed a scene of wisdom and ferocity. She showed amazing calmness and courage in the face of the threat of monsters, almost second only to Drax. She knew how to use the terrain to divide the monsters into groups and use various obstacles to their actions. Each attack was precise and fierce. After killing several monsters and gaining stronger strength, she seemed to be more comfortable dealing with the goblins.
More than 200 goblins were almost killed. Some of the more than 2,000 teachers and students who survived the earthquake broke through the encirclement of the goblins and fled into the forest. Among the rest, more than 400 people fell forever. Most of them died in the first wave of the goblins' attack. When they reacted, even a girl would not run slower than the goblins. Many bold people, after extreme fear, stimulated their ferocity and started hand-to-hand combat with the goblins. Although a considerable number of them were killed, some of them were strengthened by this.
After Ophelia knocked down the fifth goblin and absorbed its essence, she felt that her physical strength and power had reached a higher level. When she was about to look for the next monster, she found that there was no goblin slave around to kill. This bloody and cruel battle, the final victory really belonged to humans.
Everyone looked at the corpses on the ground, all kinds of internal organs, blood, and brains were everywhere. The bodies of teachers and students were lying in all directions, and there were also many short goblin corpses. Everyone was excited.
This feeling was the joy of surviving a disaster, and even more the excitement of winning a bloody battle!
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a low horn sounded from the direction of the forest, "Woo--!"
More than two hundred skinny goblin slaves holding wooden sticks emerged from the forest in the south again. After more than two hundred goblin slaves, there were a full forty or fifty goblin warriors with relatively strong physiques, short spears in one hand and wooden shields in the other. In the middle was a tall, green-skinned goblin wearing a severely worn leather armor, a wolfskin helmet, and a big knife full of gaps. It was half a body taller than any other goblin, and it felt like a crane standing out from the crowd when it stood in the middle.
Drax recognized it, it was a goblin leader!
"Ah, monsters appear again!"
"Woo, are we really going to die here?"
A group of weak female voices were completely desperate.
"Cry! You girls only know how to cry. Can crying kill monsters?"
"Kill, there is nothing to be afraid of these monsters."
"That's right, by killing them, we can gain strength and become stronger!"
A group of bloody boys who were red-eyed with killing picked up the wooden sticks dropped by the goblin slaves and rushed towards the more than 200 goblins with a roar.
"Ji Gu!" The goblin leader screamed and raised his knife and swung it hard.
More than 40 goblin warriors threw the short spears in their hands at the same time, with terrible gusts of wind, and shot at the crowd.
These short spears contain amazing power. After piercing through a person's body, they still have the remaining power to shoot the second person. This group of people who rushed forward with red eyes fell down at the first encounter.
"Jigugu! Jigugu!"
The goblin leader hit the back of the knife hard and let out a strange cry towards the sky, as if the general had issued an order to attack. Two hundred goblin slaves pressed forward at the same time. It also led the way, bending its body forward, like a swift cheetah rushing out, swinging the big knife in the air and slashing it down. A three-meter-long green blade light bloomed on the broken blade, and it swung down with a tragic momentum.
A student only saw a flash of green light, and before he could see the goblin leader's appearance clearly, the blade light cut him in half alive, and left a shocking knife mark on the ground! The goblin leader kicked the ground with his feet, and his burly body turned into a green afterimage, rushing into a group of people, and the broken limbs and arms flew everywhere. The people who were killed cried for their parents, and had no power to resist. It was not a battle at all, but a massacre.
"D*mn, there's actually a goblin leader!" Drax shouted loudly: "Stop fighting, let's all run for our lives!"
The goblin leader is a first-level monster that has evolved some intelligence. Its strength is definitely enough to deal with a hundred ordinary goblin slaves. There is also a group of goblin warriors whose combat power is far superior to that of the goblin slaves. Add two hundred goblin slaves lined up in neat rows, and it will definitely cause huge casualties.
There is no need to fight this battle at all, because the number of enemies is too large and the combat power is also very strong. It may be that a certain goblin tribe has come out in full force, and there may be more powerful goblin monsters, such as goblin warriors, goblin knights, goblin generals, and even goblin lords. If they appear, no one will be able to escape.
The rout only takes a moment!
In fact, there is no need for Drax to shout. The terrifying combat power of the goblin leader shocked everyone. No one would be stupid enough to die, so they quickly split into many groups and began to flee into the forest. Drax rushed into the woods with Blake and Cassius, followed by at least two hundred people, including several classmates, such as Seraphina, and Ophelia.
"Jigu! Jigu!"
The goblin leader did not chase, but slowly walked to the middle of the ruins, raised the big knife in his hand, and roared in protest, indicating that this place would be their new territory.
Some goblins continued to chase and kill the fleeing humans under its command.
The goblin warrior picked up the short spear and threw it again, piercing and killing one after another, and some were nailed to the tree alive.
Screams came one after another.
Run, run desperately!
Otherwise, there is only death!
In the dense primitive jungle, there are all kinds of herbs and shrubs, entangled tree roots exposed from the soil, and various boulders of different sizes, all covered with a layer of moss. Running desperately on such a complex and rugged road is very physically demanding. Moreover, there are countless poisonous insects and snakes lurking around, and even many plants are highly poisonous, so every step is full of danger.
This is a typical tropical rainforest climate. The jungle is extremely humid, and the dense branches block most of the sunlight. The water vapor evaporates under high temperature, and the air is extremely hot and stuffy, making people feel chest tightness, irritability and difficulty breathing. As time goes by, many weaker people fall behind. After running for dozens of minutes, less than one-fifth of the people can keep up. Fortunately, the goblins are no longer chasing.
Cassius ran and panted, shouting: "I can't run anymore, Fatty, I can't run anymore!"
Seraphina, who was not far away, was also panting. She had also killed two goblin slaves and gained a certain degree of strength. Otherwise, she would have fallen behind with her physique.
"Hold on a little longer!"
Drax seemed to be very familiar with the forest. He led everyone to shuttle through the jungle. Although his brain was running fast, he kept recalling the environmental conditions in the forest and planned a relatively easy and safe escape route.
After all, the monsters here are not NPCs in computer games. They have territorial awareness, but it does not mean that their activity area is limited to the territory. These monsters are real and have extremely high mobility. No one can tell where they will appear. .
At this time, a man with glasses, a thin body and a nerd-like appearance, panted and shouted: "Drax... I can't do it anymore, really can't do it, can I take a break!" Drax knew this person. He was a classmate in the class named Lake. He is highly myopic, and his glasses are as thick as a beer cap, but he is a nice guy, very cheerful and humorous. We often play games online together, and we have a pretty good relationship.
Drax hasn't spoken yet.
Suddenly!
There was a strange noise in the dense woods!
Drax clearly saw a gray shadow flashing in the bushes, and his expression suddenly changed. He said, "Run, don't stop, whoever stops will die!"
