Goblin Dependency-Chapter 251 - 136: Rules of Combat

For the low-level adventurers near River Valley Town, they might possess strength far surpassing ordinary goblins, able to handle multiple goblins alone.

If the environment and timing are right, this number might even double.

But when the number of goblins reaches thirty, fifty, or even three figures.

Even a four-person team of seasoned adventurers often can only flee in panic.

Before obtaining professional levels to elevate their combat strength to a certain height, few can handle so many enemies simultaneously—even if they are just slightly bigger than stray dogs, the green-skinned goblins.

To be extreme, even hundreds of goblins, standing still and letting themselves be slaughtered, would leave an average person exhausted and close to collapse.

But Xia Nan is different.

The outstanding endurance strengthened by attribute points allows him to use battle skills frequently without worrying about consumption; while the skill combination of [Teeth Hunting] and [Vortex Slash], grants him the ability to launch large-scale attacks while maintaining high-speed displacement.

No dim and narrow caves, and no obstructive trees common in the forest.

Currently, he is located on an open plain stretching beyond the horizon in the countryside.

Almost meeting all conditions for him to exert his full strength.

Under such circumstances, if you want to push Xia Nan to the limit, a very large number of these green-skinned rats is needed.

At least the over one hundred in front of him... are not enough.

Amidst the mincing machine-like flying splatters of blood and fragmented limbs within the green tide, the density of the goblins, initially gathered due to loopholes in the battle lines, visibly decreased.

Along with it, the defensive pressure on the surrounding villagers lightened significantly, and under the direction of Adeline and the village chief, they quickly returned to their positions.

Faintly, a few cheers could be heard from the crowd, obviously due to Xia Nan’s brave performance against the goblins, inspiring and uplifting these villagers who had always resorted to passive defense against dangerous demons.

But Xia Nan did not feel relaxed or arrogant because of this.

Because he can clearly sense that facing his slaughter-like wanton massacre, those cowardly goblins, who should lose combat will under strength suppression.

Still maintain that initial crazed state, rushing at him from all sides without any sign of retreat.

And the reason for this, most likely, is not because they are some enhanced variant of goblins.

But because of the green-skinned goblin leader at the edge of the battlefield, who’s been motionless since the fight began.

"Whoa!"

A piercing whistle tore through the air, mingled with an eerie shriek akin to a baby’s cry, suddenly sounded from behind.

The timing was exceptionally tricky.

It happened as Xia Nan, after displacement, used [Vortex Slash], the moment the longsword was swung, his body was not yet recovered from the exertion.

An alarm rang loudly in his mind.

His high combat talent allowed him to instinctively continue the slashing motion forcefully.

Thick leather boots stomped deep into the meadow.

The heavy metal longsword, driven by inertia, spun him around two hundred seventy degrees instantly.

While pulling back the Beheading Longsword in front of him, he faced the direction of the roaring sound.

Extremely fast!

In his sight, a whirling cold white shadow flashed.

The next moment.

"Bang!"

Dazzling sparks burst from the surface of the iron-gray sword.

Xia Nan felt an extremely strong force abruptly transmitted through the sword hilt in his hand, extending from the wrist, forearm, all the way to the shoulder, and only then did the penetrating force dissipate in the obstruction of flesh and bone.

Then came unstoppable bouts of soreness and numbness.

Hiss—

Loose hair around his ears swung fiercely, and the rolling strong wind stung his cheeks.

The white shadow originally aimed at the back of his head was blocked by Xia Nan’s perceptive move using the longsword.

The remaining force did not diminish, merely altering its spinning trajectory.

Amidst the baby’s crying whistle, it brushed past Xia Nan.

Crushed two unfortunate goblins, and skewed into the meadow.

Only at this point did he see clearly the body of the exaggeratedly powerful white shadow—

It was the pale hollow bone stick hefted by the Red Mane Bear Goblin on its shoulder.

Suddenly turning his head!

Sure enough, in the battle, the object that lingered as a shadow in everyone’s heart, deeply feared.
