Goblin Dependency-Chapter 245 - 133: Group Taunt_2

The anxiety on his face surfaced once again when faced with the dangers brought by the Gnoll in the Mist Forest.

Ignoring the teammate beside him, he hastily urged Abi with an urgent tone.

His body already rapidly retreating to the rear, away from the enemy.

"Ah? Oh... alright."

Abi reacted the slowest, but seeing the other party’s exaggerated expression as if facing a formidable enemy, he didn’t question further and hurriedly prepared to run towards the village.

But just after taking two steps, he seemed to sense something awry, his gaze involuntarily looking towards the front at the motionless leader Adeline, hesitating:

"Boss, I..."

"You guys go first."

Cold and resolute words came from the air.

"Don’t worry about me."

Adeline didn’t even turn her head, just stared at the distant Red haired Bear Goblins.

Her hands had already unknowingly gripped the two heavy iron hammers.

Her chest heaving, breathing.

Squeak—

The sound of friction and collision from the scale armor metal plates.

Adeline’s body was trembling.

Xia Nan was already prepared to retreat.

Although his soul was from modern times, having received higher education, possessing a fairly normal worldview.

But he considered himself definitely not some so-called "Saint."

Regarding the civilians in the village, he might be able to lend a hand appropriately under the premise of capacity and aligning with his moral views.

But facing such dangerous situations where even Xia Nan himself couldn’t necessarily guarantee safety.

To ask him, just a passerby adventurer, to risk his life for a group of strangers he had never seen before.

He wasn’t that kind-hearted.

Moreover, currently the Bear Goblin was still a distance away from the village, even for ordinary civilians, if not delayed by pots and pans at home, they had every chance to survive.

At most, maybe losing some livestock.

Compared to lives, what does this loss count for?

Rather, Adeline’s decision surprised Xia Nan immensely.

"What do you mean?"

"Stay for what?"

Despite having the chance to retreat, possessing enough ability to escape.

Yet uncharacteristically, decisively choosing to stay.

Combining the complex emotions on her face, with bits and pieces revealed during occasional chats since joining the team.

Xia Nan vaguely had a guess in his heart.

The tone too firm to convince, knowing persuasion wouldn’t work.

At this moment, all he could do was...

Drip—

A slightly wet and cool sensation suddenly reached the tip of his nose.

"Rain?"

His steps never halted, Xia Nan instinctively looked up to the sky.

Mere moments ago, the bright and clear sky was now covered with gray-black ominous clouds.

Chilling rain droplets, pattering down.

Coarse elongated mane gradually dampened, revealing a crimson hue akin to fresh blood.

The Bear Goblin "Chi Zong" stood beside Scar’s corpse, its murky eyes fixated on the distant village from where faint disturbances emanated.

This team, already turned into life energy to fill the blood ritual gap, had disrupted its arrangements.

According to the plan, getting closer still, those frail and cowardly humans might have a chance to notice it.

But perhaps receiving divine protection from a supreme god for unknown reasons, most villagers were currently gathered near the entrance. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Even appearing was another team of seemingly delicious adventurers—with bodies stronger than ordinary villagers, able to provide more life energy to meet the blood ritual requirements.

"One, two... hmm, three and a half."

"Added to those villagers, it should be enough."

A glimmer of fiendish light passed in Chi Zong’s eyes, his heart filled with excitement at the imminent arrival of divine grace.

A stout arm suddenly reached for the metal chain around his neck.

"Ding pong!"

Pulled off directly.

His palm tightly grasped the pendant of the necklace—a small gray-white stone, its surface engraved with the same pattern as the altar in the lair.

Crushed.

Buzz—

Scarlet blood light suddenly burst from between his palms, and through the Bear Goblin’s unfamiliar guidance, gathered at his throat.

Squeak.

The tattered linen pants abruptly tightened, suddenly swollen knotted muscles seeming to burst them.

Inhale—

Waist and abdomen tightened, faintly visible were the violently trembling muscle contours beneath the thick fats, chest cavity expanding like a bellows.

Green-black blood vessels climbing across the stout neck like branches, air coursing through throat’s blood light emitting strange sound.

Yellow-brown sharp teeth slowly parted, revealing a barbed red tongue within the sticky saliva.

Charging up...

Roaring furiously!

"Ang!!!"

The sound wave exploded instantly like a bomb, wrapped around the blood light accumulated at its throat, multiple layers of sound waves surged towards the village direction at a dazzling speed that ordinary humans couldn’t possibly react to.
