"Your opponent is me."

Lin Feng stepped forward with his spear, the Wildfire Spear pointing diagonally at the ground. His pace was neither fast nor slow, yet it carried an unshakable certainty.

The Goblin Boss's crimson eyes narrowed slightly as it slowly raised the massive club in its hands, pointing the head of the club at Lin Feng.

Then, it took a deep breath, and its chest suddenly swelled!

"Roar—!!!"

This roar was even more violent and ear-piercing than before!

The sound waves were almost tangible, making the surrounding mist churn frantically!

【Mad Blood War Cry】!

The sound waves swept over the six wounded Goblin Warriors. Their wounds were still bleeding, but the look in their eyes had changed.

Their faces, originally contorted with pain, now held only a numb ferocity.

They slowly stood up straight, letting the blood flow from their wounds as if they could no longer feel any pain.

Loss of pain sensation.

Restoration of combat power.

"Roar!!!"

The six Goblin Warriors let out a simultaneous roar, grabbed their short swords, and charged at Zhao Hu and the others!

Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly but then relaxed.

He believed in Zhao Hu, he believed in Shadow Snake, and he believed in this team that had fought their way here.

What he had to do now was take care of this big fellow in front of him.

"Come on."

With a movement of his feet, the 【windchaser boots】 were instantly activated. With five stacks of Windchaser, his figure turned into an afterimage as he lunged straight at the Goblin Boss!

The Wildfire Spear thrust out! Fast as lightning!

A hint of surprise flashed in the Goblin Boss's eyes, but its reaction was incredibly fast.

The massive wooden club swept horizontally, accurately blocking the path of the spear tip!

Clang!!!

Sparks flew!

Lin Feng felt a massive force travel through the spear shaft, causing his movement to stall slightly.

But he didn't retreat; instead, using the counterforce, he spun around and thrust the spear tip out again!

The second strike! Aiming straight for the boss's throat!

The Goblin Boss sidestepped, swinging its club downward toward Lin Feng's head!

Without even looking up, Lin Feng ducked low and slid across the ground. The club whistled past his scalp and slammed into the earth!

Boom!

A shallow pit was smashed into the ground, sending stone fragments flying!

Lin Feng had already slid to the boss's side, sweeping the Wildfire Spear upward from below, aiming right under its ribs!

The Goblin Boss reacted quickly, slapping at the spear shaft with its hand, but it missed.

The spear tip was faster than it was and had already struck!

Pfft!

-170!

The Goblin Boss looked down at the wound, a flash of fury appearing in its crimson eyes.

It gripped the club with both hands and swept it horizontally!

This blow was heavy and powerful, with a horizontal range so wide it was impossible to dodge!

Lin Feng pushed off the ground hard, his body soaring into the air. With a backflip, the club whistled past the soles of his feet!

While in mid-air, Lin Feng raised his right hand—【Blazing Spear Light】!

A streak of crimson light shot straight for the boss's face!

The boss couldn't dodge in time and could only turn its head!

Pfft!

The spear light grazed its cheek, leaving a charred bloodstain!

-120!

The Goblin Boss was completely enraged.

It roared, swinging its club with such force that it created a whistling wind, each strike capable of shattering stone!

Lin Feng's figure dodged and wove frantically through the shadows of the club. He pushed the five stacks of Windchaser from his 【windchaser boots】 to the limit, avoiding fatal blows by mere millimeters every time!

But the boss's defense was equally formidable. That club not only had a massive attack range but was also extremely effective at parrying. Lin Feng tried to thrust several times, but he was accurately parried away.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, while on the other side of the battlefield, the fight had reached a fever pitch.

The six Goblin Warriors, having lost their sense of pain, charged frantically, completely ignoring defense and only caring about hacking away with their blades!

Zhao Hu's guardian round shield already had seven or eight sword marks on it. Every strike made his arm go numb, but he didn't retreat a single step!

"Tie Dun! Left flank!"

"Understood!"

Tie Dun's ironwall greatshield suddenly shifted to the left, blocking a Goblin that was trying to flank them!

The shield ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) surface and short sword collided, sending sparks flying!

"Wang Wu! Arrow Eye! Fire!"

The bowstrings thrummed! Two arrows left their strings almost simultaneously, accurately piercing the back of that Goblin!

-95! -100!

The Goblin's figure swayed, but having lost its sense of pain, it didn't care at all, turning around to charge at Wang Wu!

But it had only taken two steps when a deep blue light silently streaked out from its side and rear—Pfft!

-170! (Backstab! Stealth Strike!)

The deep blue fang pierced in from under the ribs, sinking all the way to the hilt!

The Goblin's movements froze. It looked down at the blade tip protruding from its chest and then—collapsed to the ground.

Shadow Snake withdrew her dagger, her figure blurring as she disappeared into the mist once more.

"Beautiful!" Zhao Hu roared, his bone-crushing greatsword hacking down with great force, forcing back a Goblin in front of him!

Tie Dun's greatshield slammed hard into another Goblin, sending it staggering backward!

Wang Wu and Arrow Eye's arrows fell like a torrential rain, each arrow accurately striking the vitals of those Goblins!

Shadow Snake's figure flickered in the mist. Every time she appeared, a Goblin was sure to fall!

Five.

Four.

Three.

...

The main battlefield.

Lin Feng and the Goblin Boss had already exchanged five or six rounds of blows.

Lin Feng's breathing was slightly hurried, but his gaze remained sharp.

He had an extra graze on his body, a result of being swept by the wind from the club. Fortunately, the defense of his rock-solid chestplate was high enough that the health loss wasn't too significant.

The boss also had two more spear marks on its body, the deepest one on its right shoulder, where blood continued to seep out.

But its ferocity only burned brighter, each strike more frantic than the last.

Lin Feng dodged another horizontal sweep of the club, flashing to the boss's side, and thrust the Wildfire Spear!

The boss suddenly turned, parrying horizontally with its club.

But this time, the moment Lin Feng's spear tip touched the club, it suddenly dropped!

The spear tip slid along the club and pierced into the boss's lower abdomen!

Pfft!

-170! (Critical Hit!)

The boss's wretched howl came to an abrupt end. Its massive body froze in place and then—crashed to the ground!

【Killed Level 18 Elite · Goblin Boss, obtained Experience +1600!】

Lin Feng stood with his spear retracted.

He looked down at the Goblin Boss's corpse. Beside the slowly dissipating body, a few items were left behind.

Three white energy crystals and a red headband.

Lin Feng bent down and picked up the headband. It felt warm to the touch, and the material was cloth-like but not quite cloth, with simple runic patterns embroidered on it.

【crimson blood headband (Blue)】

Type: Head Equipment

Defense: +30

Special Effect · Blood Pact: Resistance to negative status effects (poison, curse, fear, stun, etc.) increased by 10%.

Equipment Requirement: Level ≥ 15

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

A headpiece? This was the first time he'd seen one. And it increased negative status resistance; although it was only 10%, at a critical moment, that could be the difference between life and death.

He tied the headband directly around his forehead. A warm sensation flowed from between his brows, as if something was protecting his spirit.

He turned to look at the other battlefield. There, the last Goblin Warrior was being pierced through the throat from behind by Shadow Snake's blade, slowly falling.

Six Goblin Warriors, wiped out.

Zhao Hu leaned on his bone-crushing greatsword, panting heavily. Tie Dun's greatshield was covered in sword marks, but he was still standing.

Wang Wu and Arrow Eye's gazes remained sharp.

Su Yurou stood at the very back, her short staff glowing slightly. Her face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that her mana consumption was not small.
