Chapter 178: Encounter
The group of green creatures that appeared in front of them in Loulan, with green skin, pointed ears, big eyes, sparse hair, and only about one meter tall, was one of the races unique to the Tianfeng Continent---- the Goblin Clan.
The goblin race, in the Tianfeng Continent, has always been known for its timidity and thrift, it is said that in order to save money, even those wealthy manor owners goblins can't eat a full meal all year round, and the reputation of being stingy is because they almost never spend money, and all the daily necessities needed for daily life, furniture, clothes, shoes, and food are all picked up.
Therefore, even the richest goblins are frequent visitors to the garbage heap, and it is impossible to tell whether a goblin is rich or not by their appearance, because almost all goblins are ragged and malnourished.
What appeared in front of Loulan and them was such a group of goblins named Hanako, but Loulan thought that these guys should not be pretending to be poor, but really poor, because these guys were holding all kinds of simple wooden sticks and stones and other weapons in their hands, and they also put on a fierce look, obviously taking their own people as the targets of robbery.
A goblin known for his cowardice would actually do a robbery? It can only show one thing, that is, the living conditions in this place of exile are really bad to the limit, and even the goblins who have low requirements for life can hardly survive, and have to rely on robbery to make a living.
The sudden appearance of this group of goblins immediately aroused everyone's vigilance, but soon they were surprised to find that a group of goblins also appeared behind them, these guys, I don't know where they came from, have surrounded the seven of them at this time.
Enemy on the belly and back!
There was no nonsense, and with the sound of "whew", a fist-sized stone spun at high speed and flew towards Guan Jingyun, who seemed to be the weakest among the people, obviously, because Loulan they obviously did not carry any property, these goblins no longer had any hope of robbing the property, but planned to kill them directly and eat meat.
The speed of the stone flying is extremely fast, and obviously the strength of the thrower is also very amazing, but Guan Jingyun also reacted quickly, and as soon as he turned his hand, a longbow with an extremely strong shape suddenly appeared in his hand, followed by bending the bow, aiming, and firing, after a set of actions like flowing water, a wind blade shot out like a substance, and accurately hit the stone.
With a "snap", the stone changed direction in response, and it was already hit by this wind blade and lost its accuracy, and flew diagonally towards the sky, but this also illustrated one thing in disguise, that is, at least in terms of strength, the thrower of this stone is far superior to Guan Jingyun.
With a "whew", a small fireball the size of a baseball flew out from behind Guan Jingyun and roared towards the goblin that threw the stones, and it was Wang Yifei who had already counterattacked at the first time.
"Haixuan, you are responsible for resisting these guys in front, and leave the back to me." Almost at the same time, Lou Lan also pulled out the Yitian Sword and shouted loudly: "Li Xiang is responsible for giving me healing techniques, and the others are hiding behind Haixuan to attack, but they are just a group of thin people called Huazi, there is nothing to be afraid of!" ”
Before Loulan finished speaking, he had already rushed towards the group of goblins behind him, and at this time, the group of guys behind him was still at least thirty or forty meters away from them, and if Loulan didn't stop them, everyone would immediately fall into a bad situation of being attacked on their backs.
With a "Peng", Wang Yifei's fireball technique successfully hit the right arm of the catapult goblin, and there was an explosion when it landed, instantly blowing up the guy's right arm into a bloody blur, and it was impossible to throw stones again.
At this time, at least five or six spinning flying stones flew out from the goblin groups on both sides and shot at the people in Loulan, but at this time, Luo Haixuan had already taken out his big shield that was almost as tall as himself, blocked the front of the team, and directly blocked all the three stones that flew in, and although there was no shield on Loulan's side, but after he obtained the martial arts inheritance, his swordsmanship was already very exquisite, and he waved it up and down twice, and knocked all the two stones that flew in, and by the way, he also flashed the third stone.
"It's so powerful!" After knocking off two stones, Lou Lan also felt a tingle in the tiger's mouth, you must know that his strength at this time is the most powerful among all people, if even he is like this, then it means that these goblins are at least better than their own group in terms of strength, thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Haixuan, be careful, these guys have a lot of strength!" ”
Loulan was extremely fast, and before the words fell, she had already rushed in front of the group of goblins, and raised her Heavenly Sword with both hands and slashed at a goblin holding a wooden club.
Loulan usually uses the sword with one hand, because he is very confident in his strength, but now he knows that his strength is likely to be weaker than these goblins, so he changed to holding the sword with both hands, so that with the use of waist strength, he can concentrate the strength of his whole body at one point and exert his greatest strength.
For goblins, because their legs are too short, the speed of ordinary humans is already fast in their eyes, and Loulan's speed at this time is at least twice that of ordinary people, so this unlucky goblin only felt that in the blink of an eye, Loulan rushed in front of him, so he didn't have time to react at all, but instinctively took the simple wooden stick in his hand as a head.
"Wow", I don't know if this wooden stick is too strong, or the sharpness of the Yitian Sword has also been weakened, Loulan's sword has not even been able to cut off this simple wooden stick, but his forward momentum + the power of the sword in both hands still has the absolute upper hand, and he directly took the guy with the stick and flew out more than three meters away.
A burst of pain came from his hands, and Lou Lan found that the tiger mouths on his hands had all been cracked and bleeding, which made him feel a burst of shock, he originally thought that with his martial arts and the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword, it should not be a big problem for one person to block these goblins in front of him, but now it seems that it is impossible at all.
However, to Loulan's surprise, his amazing blow not only slashed the goblin away, but also unexpectedly had a deterrent effect, causing the other goblins around to scream and retreat back at least three or four meters before surrounding it again.
This is why goblins have always been known for their timidity, and even when they are fighting too much, they will have the effect of retreating due to the injuries and bleeding of their teammates, although only temporarily, but they often give their opponents valuable breathing time, making the chances of losing the battle greatly increased.
Taking advantage of this, Loulan glanced at Luo Haixuan and them, and found that although Luo Haixuan was able to block the attacks of those goblins under the cover of the shield, so that the four people behind him could calmly cast attack skills, but because of the lack of strength, he was very difficult to resist, and Xie Meina and Xu Cheng's current attacks were basically not lethal, just relying on Wang Yifei and Guan Jingyun to output damage, the situation was very unfavorable.
"Damn! It's really going to be bad now! Seeing this situation, Lou Lan's heart also sank, but she was caught off guard by three spinning flying stones in front of her, and the goblin in front of her had already launched another attack.
This time Loulan did not directly attack with his sword, but chose to roll on the spot and dodge, he can no longer waste any strength now, he must make full use of his rich and skillful skills to fight, otherwise today will be unimaginable.
Who knew that Loulan was dodging, and there was a scream of "ah" behind him, which was sent by Li Xiang behind the building, hearing this scream, Loulan also sank in his heart, just now he flashed the three rotating flying stones, but forgot that Li Xiang was still behind him, and it was estimated that he was hit by the flying stones.
"Li Xiang!" In a hurry, Lou Lan turned around suddenly, but found that Li Xiang was standing in place with his eyes closed, ready to be taken hard, but the flying stone that hit him stopped in the air five centimeters in front of him, although it was still rotating, it was completely unable to move an inch, and as soon as the rotation stopped, it fell to the ground.
"This... A vindictive protective necklace? Loulan reacted immediately when he saw this, and couldn't help but scold himself for being confused, after entering this world, because his strength was greatly weakened, he almost forgot that he still had such a thing as a fighting spirit protection necklace, and at this time Li Xiang was suddenly attacked, and he reacted.
"I... I'm fine" Li Xiang also seemed to have received a hint of the success of the defense, and immediately reacted, and shouted loudly with joy: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we still have a fighting spirit protection necklace, this flying stone only knocked off one-tenth of my shield." ”
Hearing Li Xiang say this, Lou Lan immediately made up his mind, the group of goblins in front of him was about ten people, if the ten attacks were ineffective, he was confident that he could drag all these guys down, and then Li Xiang put healing skills on himself in the back, victory was only a matter of time.
With the protection of the Douqi Protection Necklace, Loulan also became a little unscrupulous, and soon in order to chase and kill a goblin, he was hit in the waist by a guy next to him, and he was hit for the first time in this battle, but this time he was hit, but it made him show an ecstatic expression.
"The equipment you are wearing, the Badge of the Captain of the Flame Dragon Knights senses that you are in a combat state, may I ask if you activate the badge ability to increase the offensive and defensive abilities of all members by 20%?" A line of eye-catching prompts suddenly appeared in Loulan's mind, and Loulan immediately chose yes without hesitation.
In an instant, a red light emanated from everyone's badges, covering everyone's bodies, making them feel instantly refreshed, and their offensive and defensive abilities were greatly improved.
The 20% increase in attack and defense, although it doesn't sound like much, is just enough to break the balance of strength between the two sides, and the most direct manifestation is that Guan Jingyun's wind blade arrows can already directly shatter the spinning flying stones, and the remaining momentum continues to cause damage to the enemy, while Loulan's hands are heavily split, which can cut off the goblin's wooden stick at once, making these guys fall into the embarrassing situation of losing their weapons.
The crowd, whose pressure had dropped sharply, felt a lot more relaxed, and the balance of victory began to tilt in their favor.
After rushing forward with a brisk step again, after eating two flying stones and a wooden stick, Loulan was already a two-handed sword slash again, and the target was still the unlucky guy just now, this guy was also unlucky today, he was beaten hard just now, and now he was locked by Loulan again.
Lou Lan's sword just now, of course, shook his tiger's mouth to blood, and the guy who was beaten was not very comfortable, not only did a huge crack appear on the wooden stick, almost broken, but also the movement speed was obviously much slower, which was also the reason why Loulan was able to easily lock him again.
Loulan's attack this time, after increasing the attack and defense by 20%, the speed of the forward rush became extremely fast, making this unlucky goblin unavoidable at all, and the only option was to hard-connect, but the wooden stick in his hand that was almost broken was also unusable at this time, and he was about to be hit by Loulan's sword.
At the moment of life and death, this goblin also burst out with the potential of life, and actually sat on a horse with a heavy waist, took a steady horse step on the spot, and then held the wooden stick that was about to break with both hands and swept it, actually to dissolve Loulan's blow from the side.
It is not impossible to dissolve a sword that is slashed at high speed from the side, but almost no one dares to do it, because there is only one opportunity, and there is only one consequence of failure, which is to be split in half by a sword.
Moreover, this way of resolving is actually as unreliable as using one bullet to intercept another bullet!
This goblin actually did it, his sweep actually hit Loulan's Heavenly Sword accurately, and he also hit this sword out of the way, out of a lot of way, almost out of his hand.
The goblin who escaped death sank in his heart, and secretly screamed badly, because he clearly felt that Loulan's sword was completely light and fluttering, and there was almost no trace of strength, and this could only show one thing---- Loulan's sword was actually a false move.
Almost at the same time that the Heavenly Sword was missed, Loulan had already flown up with a kick, from the bottom up, and kicked the goblin in the middle of the legs, and at this time, the goblin was sitting on the horse with a heavy waist, and the middle of the legs was in the best posture of opening the empty door.
At this moment, all the witnesses, even Loulan herself, couldn't help but feel the chrysanthemum tighten, and her legs couldn't help but instinctively shrink towards the middle.
With an earth-shattering scream, the goblin's entire body rose into the air and flew up nearly two meters in the air, and the whole person instantly became as clumped as a shrimp out of the water, while Loulan swung the long sword violently, and a sword light flashed, and this guy was directly beheaded in mid-air.
First blood!
The death of this goblin instantly caused the other goblins to scatter in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, they all ran away without a trace, leaving only the somewhat dumbfounded Loulan standing on the spot.
"These guys are really known for their timidity!" When Loulan confirmed that these guys would not come again, she hurriedly rushed to Luo Haixuan and their side to support.
Although the escape of the group of goblins in the back did not affect the morale of the group of goblins in front of Luo Haixuan and them, Loulan's strong addition with the power of killing made the balance of victory tilt instantly, and soon, another goblin was pierced by Guan Jingyun's arrow and blade, and died on the spot.
Not surprisingly, the death of this goblin caused the entire group of goblins to flee on the spot, making the battle end in a very abrupt way, which made everyone in Loulan feel a little incredible.
Although this battle ended with the victory of Loulan and the others, it also made them no longer dare to underestimate the danger here in the exiled land, because just these thirty or so goblins knocked out almost half of their defense value of their fighting spirit protection necklaces, and almost consumed the magic power of Wang Yifei and Xie Meina, and they had to meditate before they could recover their combat effectiveness, and this was still when the vast majority of goblins fled, if these guys were not so timid, Loulan and they were likely to have casualties here.
To the surprise of everyone in Loulan, there was a gray light flickering on the corpses of the two goblins that were killed, and when Loulan got closer, she found that the gray light was actually a token-like thing, only the size of a palm, and the pattern on it was a goblin's head on the front and a simple wooden stick on the back.
There were no other items on the two goblins other than tokens, and for some reason, the corpses of these two guys began to decompose quickly, and after a while, they began to emit a foul disgusting odor.
"This... It's loot, right? Loulan played with these two tokens and said with some doubts: "Why did these guys disappear so quickly, is there any secret passage here?" ”
