Chapter 255: Chapter 137 Swarm_2

But at this moment, facing that iron-gray arc of chilling light, even it felt a hint of danger.

"Bang!"

The body, which had been charging forward, suddenly decelerated with the force of its legs, stirring up countless specks of mud, while its robust arms crossed in front of its chest in protection.

Screech——

The bristles on its arms were shredded into fragments by the sword light, the tough skin was cut open, splattering a few strings of blood beads, revealing the scarlet flesh underneath.

Ignoring the pain from the skin’s surface, in the next second, Red Mane was already blasting out a colossal fist in the direction from which the sword light had come, enough to break a tree trunk.

"Boom!"

The air currents swept up countless fragments of grass roots, yet all that remained on the knuckles was emptiness, without any sensation of hitting something.

Beside its ears, the familiar wolf howl quickly faded away once again.

"Damn little bug, I’m going to crush every single bone in your body!"

Red Mane roared, making the rain curtain enveloping it distort faintly.

Xia Nan retreated rapidly, his heart pounding relentlessly.

Undoubtedly, his dangerously knife-edge maneuver had achieved the anticipated effect.

While causing minor damage to the Bear Goblin, he also forcibly halted its charge towards Berg.

Allowing the team’s formation on the field to revert to the familiar setup of the Green Blood Team.

The enemy, the Red haired Bear Goblin, was surrounded and trapped in the center, while Xia Nan edged slightly closer, maintaining a certain distance to ensure enough room to either retreat or harass.

Berg, whose primary output was through bow and arrow, positioned himself further behind the Bear Goblin, allowing him to calmly aim and shoot as long as Xia Nan could draw the enemy’s attention.

Waiting,

Xia Nan kept a close watch on the Bear Goblin ahead, constantly paying attention to every subtle movement of its body.

The Bear Goblin, already maddened due to his obstruction, was at the ideal moment for them to attack.

Yet, whenever Red Mane intended to deal with Berg first, it would have to expose its back entirely to Xia Nan.

However, the expected arrow that should have hit the target dead-on had yet to arrive.

Puzzled, he couldn’t help but divert some attention and glanced at Berg’s position behind the Bear Goblin through the corner of his eye.

His expression froze.

"What are you doing!?"

He saw Berg, who was supposed to use the invaluable time Xia Nan had risked his life to secure, who ought to be bending his bow and nocking an arrow to attack the Bear Goblin.

Yet at this moment, he was still in the midst of retreating, stepping on shadows, his face pale as he rapidly withdrew.

If it weren’t for the Bear Goblin’s "Taunt" effect, he might have already turned around and bolted without looking back.

Having left the dangerous Mist Forest and on the brink of returning to River Valley Town,

The sudden assault by a powerful enemy plunged this middle-aged adventurer—seasoned in combat but who had remained in the Green Blood Team out of fear of death, fighting goblins for a living—

back into that familiar, restless state of anxiety.

The severe injury and withdrawal of team captain Adeline became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

It seemed to shatter his psychological defenses entirely.

He lost the acute combat instincts he used to possess and no longer maintained his relentless fighting spirit when facing goblins.

It was just a survival instinct that drove him to evade and retreat.

"Berg, attack!"

At this moment, Xia Nan couldn’t care less if the Bear Goblin in front could understand his words in the Universal Language.

He yelled loudly towards Berg in the distance.

However, when facing such powerful enemies, the perfect opportunity to attack often presents itself only fleetingly in a few brief moments.

Fail to seize it...

And the positions of offense and defense would be reversed.

As Xia Nan’s voice traveled through the air into Berg’s ears and forced him to suppress his instinct to flee, as he raised his Longbow, drew the string to aim, and released the arrow,

The Bear Goblin had already reacted.

An aura of dark red energy flames surfaced once more over its body; with a slight shift, it easily dodged the already off-target wooden arrow.

Then came the piercing wail of the air splitting apart.

Buzz—

This was the "Deflection Field" passively triggered by the [Dead Line] ring.

The semi-transparent energy shield blocked a potentially lethal attack for Xia Nan.

But its 24-hour cooldown also meant he had lost a trump card in this battle.

His body was flung high into the air by the overpowering force, tumbling before falling down.

The Protective Shield shrouding his entire body flickered twice as if short-circuiting, then dissipated into chaotic energy flows scattered in the air.
