Goblin Dependency-Chapter 253 - 136 Battle Rules_3

It’s Adeline.

At this moment, compared to just now, although her body was covered with more blood and dust, she hadn’t suffered many injuries.

In her hand, she held two kerosene bombs.

Seeing this, Xia Nan immediately felt a sense of relief in his heart.

On the battlefield now, the only ones capable of engaging with the Bear Goblins head-on were just himself and her.

If Adeline were to rush in and attack alone out of impatience, and got severely injured by the enemy, losing combat ability,

it would undoubtedly double the pressure if he was left alone.

After all, ever since Red Mane appeared, Adeline’s whole state had suddenly gone off, as if seeing some enemy.

Just now, she even contemplated staying behind alone, letting the others escape.

Fortunately, she remained relatively calm, knowing not to act rashly, first probing with long-range means before...

"Boom!"

Murky dust accompanied by splattering oil suddenly exploded with a spark, turning into a rush of flames that engulfed the entire wooden house.

Roar——

A roar erupted from the depths of the ruins, with burning wooden debris being fiercely thrown out.

One could vaguely see a burly figure rising amidst the swirling flames.

Then came an ear-splitting sound wave that pressed the flames down, and a ferocious figure shrouded in flames surged out with a bang.

Even though holding double hammers, fully prepared, the appearance of her long-sought enemy still made Adeline’s emotions surge and boil.

To the extent that she lost the caution she should have had as the leader.

She clearly remembered the Bear Goblin that attacked the village and killed her relatives many years ago, with a more robust body than its kind and special crimson mane.

She was also amazed at its extraordinary ability to break through the defenses and enter the battlefield instantly.

It was precisely for this reason that she hadn’t moved further forward, opting instead to use kerosene bombs to attempt to exhaust it.

However, she hadn’t anticipated that Red Mane, enduring the scorching fire, could have such astonishing explosive power.

The scorching wind swept across her cheeks, her instinctively lifted iron hammer, and her eyes lightly closed due to the heatwave’s stimulus.

Upon reopening her eyes,

the ruin of the wooden house, which had been engulfed in flames, had vanished.

In its place were Red Mane’s eyes, filled with brutality and a murderous intent.

Intense pain spread throughout her body, her consciousness blurred.

Her legs left the ground as the scenery on both sides quickly retreated.

"Bang!"

Adeline’s body, like a sack, was knocked away by the Bear Goblin.

She rolled to the ground amidst the scattered smoke and dust.

Her chest still heaved, but her eyes could no longer open.

"Damn it!"

Xia Nan halted, glancing at Adeline, who had lost combat ability just as the battle commenced.

He gritted his teeth silently.

The black eyes reflected the burly figure surrounded by flames before him.

His brain raced, countless combat plans flashing through his mind, only to be dismissed one by one.

How to win?

How to survive?

"Boss!!!"

Abi’s shout came from nearby, but was quickly drowned out by the shrieking goblins.

The collapsed defense line had allowed hordes of goblins to swarm into the village.

Death, roars,

at that moment, a brutal melee unfolded between the villagers and the fierce demons.

Discarding all extraneous thoughts, Xia Nan tightly gripped the iron-gray Beheading Longsword.

He stared intently at the Bear Goblin ahead.

Even as raindrops fell from his lashes, he dared not blink.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

It was Berg.

His face was pale, his gaze uncertain, showing clear anxiety and panic.

As if attracted by the noise, but upon seeing the situation on the field, he instinctively halted.

In his hand, he held a wooden longbow, with the shimmering arrow already nocked.

The memory of once defeating a Bear Goblin crossed through his mind.

"Then let’s try it!"

Whoosh——

Xia Nan suddenly whistled.

Alerting Berg in the rear of the Bear Goblin to his presence.

Their eyes met.

Xia Nan felt he had clearly conveyed his message through his gaze.

——First, he looked at the longbow in Berg’s hand, then pointed at Red Mane, lastly gesturing to himself with the sword.

The meaning was for Xia Nan to keep the Bear Goblin occupied, allowing Berg to find an opportunity to shoot.

Berg was an experienced adventurer; after so many missions, Xia Nan was confident he understood his intent.

But unexpectedly, Berg hesitated at his proposal.

"What do you mean!?"

Xia Nan did not receive a response.

Because the next second, the Bear Goblin that had just escaped the ruins and heavily injured Adeline was already charging towards Berg.

Unlike its stupid peers, Red Mane, who grew under the blessing of its chief god "Magrubie," possessed intelligence not inferior to humans.

Many adventurers had met their demise at its hands.

Thus, it naturally knew some basic yet effective combat principles.

——Kill the backline first.
