Goblin Dependency-Chapter 261 - 140 Gravity Core_2

He naturally knew that achieving victory wasn’t as simple as it seemed right now.

The most dangerous moment in this battle would be when the Red Mane realized its stamina was being reduced by the two, even to the point of risking defeat.

Just as he was contemplating, the Bear Goblin that had just forced Xia Nan and the other back suddenly made a move.

It wasn’t an attack, nor was it a pursuit towards either side.

The previously ear-piercing, angry roar abruptly stopped.

Stunned, surprised, terrified, worried...

Suddenly, a complex, human-like expression appeared on the fur-covered face filled with anger and resentment.

Then the Red Mane, ignoring the two currently confronting it, abruptly turned its head and looked into the depths of the forest, the direction from which it had come.

Xia Nan didn’t know what was happening.

But seeing the Bear Goblin’s demeanor, as if it had been raiding and its home was stolen away, if the opponent didn’t want to continue fighting but decided to retreat directly to support its home,

he would gladly accept it.

Such intense combat, against an enemy of this strength, was not what someone who had yet to even achieve Professional Level should face.

It’s just that the "Group Taunt" previously cast by the opponent seemed to have some side effect, making the Red Mane, no matter how anxious it appeared, still not choose to leave the two fighting it and retreat alone.

Instead, with a stance of "finishing the battle quickly," it charged straight towards Adeline ahead.

It must be admitted, Red Mane hastily chose the correct target.

Not as agile, far less muscular strength; Adeline’s physique, stronger than an ordinary adult male, was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in front of Red Mane.

Nearing total annihilation.

If she faced the fully-engaged Bear Goblin without teammates’ help, she might barely withstand a few rounds with her rich experience before being defeated.

If one wanted to end the battle shortly, she would be the breakthrough for the Red Mane to shatter the current balance.

Xia Nan certainly couldn’t just watch his teammate suffer severe injuries again.

Almost the instant the Bear Goblin turned around and exposed its back to him, he activated [Teeth Hunting] and dashed out amidst the Winter Wolf’s howl.

Accompanied by the suddenly stagnant compressed air, the distance between them quickly closed. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The burly figure covered in long hair rapidly enlarged within his pupils, as the Beheading Longsword was poised for a strike amid the bend of his arm.

Just waiting for the moment the opponent launched an attack on Adeline and had no time to mind its back, to slash out a sharp and fierce blade.

At also that moment, the Bear Goblin, caught between Xia Nan and the other, suddenly stopped its robust body.

Boom—

The dark red flare, capable of smashing through defenses and demolishing buildings, suddenly burst forth from Red Mane’s body surface.

And in a manner previously unseen, exploded like a bomb.

The airwaves roiled, and Xia Nan felt a dangerous flash of dark red light before his eyes, his Arm Shield instinctively raised to guard his chest.

The next second, a powerful force emanated from the Arm Shield.

The wolf’s head phantom covering his entire body dispersed in an instant, as he was sent flying back, tumbling in the air a few times before regaining control and landing on his feet, quite embarrassed.

Knees bent, left hand gripping the ground to stabilize his body, a severe pain from his chest and abdomen made his gaze instinctively lower.

What met his eyes was the Chain Armor Iron Rings on the surface, wrapped in a red glow, twisted and deformed.

From the damage and bodily sensation, it could be anticipated that not only the Chain Armor but even the leather armor inside had suffered some damage.

The high price of nearly a hundred Gold for the two pieces of armor flashed in his mind.

No time to feel distressed.

Xia Nan looked ahead, and his expression involuntarily darkened.

The good news was that Adeline was already in a dodging state, with defenses in place, thus not significantly harmed by the energy burst and was in good shape.

But the bad news was...

In the brief moment of being forced back by the energy burst, the Bear Goblin had rushed to the other side of the battlefield and retrieved its weapon.

——That pale bone stick with hollow engravings on the surface.

"Buzz..."

It was the noise emitted when the dark red flare surged and boiled.

Xia Nan’s heart instantly sensed something amiss.

"Watch out!"

Loudly reminded, his body once again activated amidst the wolf’s howl.

In response to him, the Bear Goblin’s speed abruptly increased under the flare’s effect, accompanied by the eerie sound of the airflow squeezing through the void as the bone stick whizzed past, like a baby’s mournful cry.

Strangely peculiar, the sound, previously just slightly discomforting, now fused with Red Mane’s low growl and the distant hum of the flare’s ascent.

Penetrating the ear canal, it continuously reverberated within the cranial cavity.

Consciousness instantly blurred.

"Something’s wrong!"

Realizing the bone stick’s eerie sound seemed to possess some mind-confounding effect, Xia Nan, taking advantage of his yet unfallen consciousness, immediately reached for his waist pouch with his left hand.

With a pinch of five fingers, the three Kerosene Bombs he had long prepared on him were thrown towards Red Mane.

Bang—

Muddled dust and jet-black grease abruptly exploded with sparks, engulfing the Bear Goblin in a surge of firelight.

Clouded and twisted consciousness suddenly cleared, and Adeline’s eyes regained clarity.

Facing the pale bone stick crashing down on her chest, she crossed her iron hammers in front of her.

"Clang!!!"

The crisp sound of metal collision resounded at the scene.

Dazzling blood gushed uncontrollably from Adeline’s mouth, her chest caved in, and her entire body flew backward like a rag bag, rolling onto the ground amidst the scattered mud.
