Volume 1: The Returning Leader XXXI. The Hunter and the Prey!
"Kiln ......"
It seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing through the grass, and a few faint green shadows flickered in the distance.
"Patriarch, patriarch! Heβthey're coming! A small goblin knelt on the ground in a panic and prayed, his face full of fear.
"My dear people, put away your fears! Now we are no longer the slaves who were weak and powerless to be bullied! Pluck up your courage and stand up! On the wooden seat, there sat a goblin dressed in animal skin with an obvious scar on his face, and the aura of a king that invisibly exuded made the goblins present feel rock-solid stability.
"Stand up, my people. Grab your weapons and join our hunting party! Remember, the transition between hunter and prey is often only in a split second! β
"I'm going to contact the Empire, although we are outcasts, all goblins are our people, I believe they will not sit idly by!" The goblin got up from his seat and walked slowly to the back.
"Terran...... This time, you will pay the price in blood!! β

Lin Zheng's team carefully groped their way forward according to the formation they had arranged before, and because the forest was so big, dozens of teams were like throwing a handful of pebbles into a lake, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Unknown is fear, not to mention Lin Cheng and the others, who had experienced a vicious battle in this forest not long ago, had to face the nightmare in their hearts again.
Unlike last time, this time the opponent is known for its cunning, with the slightest bit of goblin intelligence, and it is believed that the aboriginal monsters here will not have the slightest favor for them as foreign invaders.
So their enemies aren't just goblins...... It's the whole Enchanted Forest!
"I'm so tired...... Can't walk! The red-haired girl Anne pursed her mouth, but she was not too dirty, and sat directly on the grass.
"Where are we going? Isn't the Enchanted Forest more dangerous the further you go inside? Mary asked, confused, not that she was tired, but that she didn't think it was useful to walk around like a headless fly like this.
"The Goblin Empire is established in the rear area of the Enchanted Forest, even those goblins who have been eliminated due to their substandard strength do not dare to be stationed too far away from the Empire, after all, high-level demonic beasts are everywhere around, they are not stupid, and if necessary, they can also lead to trouble and hand over the trouble to the Empire to solve." Gina patiently explained, and Mary quietly stuck out her tongue.
Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, the rewards of this hunting tournament were very attractive, in addition to the top three prizes, an ordinary goblin had ten points, and those whose strength could reach the bronze level had one hundred points, and the silver was as high as one thousand points.
Since these goblins were expelled from the empire because their strength did not reach the gold level, they were capped at the peak of silver strength, which is not at all to fear Lin Cheng, a monster who has officially stepped into the gold level, but it is the opposite, two silver goblins can be exchanged for a soul crystal, that is, the "evolution soul stone" required by the evolution class, Lin Cheng's eyes are a little red, so that the pie that falls from the sky is missed, there will be no more!
But it is impossible to walk alone, although Lin Cheng completely has the strength to break away from the large army and go in alone to torture and kill, and then carry the loot out, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Cheng is extraordinary.
Piff is not guilty, Lin Cheng still understands the truth of his guilt, and Lin Cheng doesn't want to expose his hole cards too early before he completely tears his face.
"Hey, just those disgusting green guys, no matter how many of my Jacks come, I'll be able to cut them all to pieces! You say yes, Zhiruo? Jack gave a thumbs up and looked back confidently, flashing a mouthful of white teeth to the black-haired girl behind him.
Zhiruo gave him an angry look, and was about to fight back, but her keen sixth sense suddenly made her fall into an ice cellar.
"Whoosh!!"
When the sound of breaking wind sounded, a dark shadow was already in the blink of an eye.
"Beware!" Zhiruo's head was numb, and she didn't care about it and rushed forward and pushed Jack away.
"What's ......?!"
"Poof." The sound of sharp arrows piercing flesh was so loud to Jack's ears.
"Zhiruo!" Jack panicked and jumped up and picked up the girl. Percy also reacted instantly, dragging Zhiruo behind the team for treatment.
"Enemy attack! Be vigilant! Gina's voice instantly returned to indifference and became more serious than ever.
She is the captain and she is responsible for the lives of her teammates!
"The enemy is dark and I am clear, shrink the defensive formation!"
Among the people present, except for Lin Cheng Yutong and the twin archers, who were freshmen, the rest of the people were very familiar with these instructions.
Soon, the injured Zhiruo was surrounded by a strict "human wall", and Jack's teeth were about to be crushed.
"There!" Lin Cheng suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
Out of absolute trust in his teammates, as soon as Lin Cheng's words fell, Hill directly pulled his bow and shot arrows like a cloud, and the movements were done in one go, without even any aiming.
Lin Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, funny, the enemy is dark and I am clear? Inexistent.
Lin Cheng snickered and glanced at the boss panel: "War Perspective: Now, you can switch to the God Perspective to observe the situation at any time!" Current effective range: 2 km. β
This perspective of war is a bit like the third-person God perspective, in the original game, it is a state of looking down from the top, and everything can be seen at a glance.
Dumbfounded, didn't you expect that, right? Brother has a perspective hanging!
Sure enough, there was a sudden tremor among the dense foliage, and a green figure fell to the ground, but soon got up and began to flee.
"Damn little greenskin, I'm going to make you pay today!!" With red eyes, Jack pulled out his twin knives and chased after him directly.
"Jack!" Gina's dissuasion was completely useless for an angry Jack.
"Keep up, we can't just give up on Jack." Lin Cheng proposed, and everyone nodded.
Gina opened her mouth, but she really couldn't refute Lin Cheng's reason, so she could only grit her silver teeth and gritted her teeth: "Keep the formation and pursue!" β
Lin Cheng's heart has already blossomed, what a rest, this is a great opportunity to earn points!
Everyone cautiously observed the surroundings while trying their best to increase their speed, but Jack was worthy of being a combat person, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!" Gina gritted her teeth hard, she wanted to hang Jack up and whip him now.
This guy ...... Isn't there a little bit of team awareness?!
Along the way, it was clearly visible the traps that had been destroyed by Jack, what slings, stakes, ground thorns......
Seeing that everyone gasped, their hearts were full of fear and at the same time, they couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for Jack's courage.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
There was a muffled sound of a fight ahead, and Lin Cheng and the others couldn't help but speed up their pace.
"Hahahaha...... That's it, that's it? "You can hear the goblins' lewd laughter from far away.
"Have you eaten, little brother, use force, use some more force hahahahaha!" Lin Zheng, who rushed to the front, saw that Jack was trapped in the center by four fat and tall fat goblins in iron armor with giant shields, no matter how hard Jack tried, he could not shake them at all, and the eyes of those fat goblins were full of cat-and-mouse banter.
Sure enough, it makes sense that the soldiers can't beat the tank...... Lin Cheng covered his face, no, the focus should be on these new types of goblins, right?
It is completely different from the stereotyped goblins that are thin, short, treacherous, cunning, obscene, and only hold bone sticks, these are really fully armed and powerful goblins, you must know that Jack's strength has reached the silver level, and he can completely trap Jack to death, proving that those four fat goblins all have the strength of the silver stage!
Four silver, two Evolution Soul Stones!
"Suck!" Lin Cheng licked his lips fiercely, and made a good start!
Wait a minute! Wrong! If there are Goblin Shieldmen, does that mean there will be ...... as well?!
Lin Zheng's cold hair exploded in an instant, oh no! Get carried away!
Who will ......? Mage or archer? The mage is behind him, and the archer is behind the mage and in front of the priest, so they target ......
"Be careful!" Lin Cheng roared angrily, and the soles of his feet kicked the ground, and the speed bonus brought to Lin Cheng by the fine quality goblins made Lin Cheng's movements as fast as lightning!
"Boom!" The sound of metal clashing and rubbing against each other sounded.
"What?!" A black, masked goblin's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to accept the magical truth.
"Boom !!"
Even as the Goblin Assassin flew in the air, he was still wondering how this guy had managed to appear in front of him from the front of the line in just one raise of his hand.

Ciri finally realizes what just happened! She had just brushed shoulders tightly with death!!
Ciri's expression was very wonderful for a while, mixing a variety of emotions such as fear, nervousness, and happiness......
"Hiss......" Gina clenched the staff in her hand, if it weren't for Lin Cheng, this team would have been reduced by three people at the beginning!
Gina was suddenly extremely glad to meet such an unexpected and reliable teammate as Lin Cheng, although he was only a junior, he was really not a star and a half!
"Wow!" Anne also reacted at this time, covering her mouth with her little hand in surprise, and looking at Lin Cheng's eyes, there began to be a different color......
A man who can give a sense of security will appear surprisingly reliable wherever he is......
"Shh A few fat goblins naturally saw the movement here, and they thought about it for a few days and nights, and the nirvana that they had finally planned was broken by a human kid like this?
Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't.
"Bang!" Jack, who was somewhat exhausted, was directly fanned out by a fat goblin.
"Little rabbit cub, dare to disrupt our carefully planned arrangement, the disobedient child really just wants to teach a lesson, hehehehe......" A fat goblin grinned, his eyes full of murderous intent.
