Chapter 184: Goblins and Ogre
Whoosh!
The dense bushes shook suddenly, and a dozen bone arrows shot towards Leon like a storm, the body of the arrows piercing the air and letting out a shuddering low roar, passing a distance of dozens of paces in an instant.
The rain of arrows came very suddenly, but Leon's keen instincts sensed the danger ahead of time, and he staggered before the arrows hit him, avoiding most of the attacks.
Syllable!
Lei Yan's war knife blocked the last bone arrow, and the gray-white arrow smashed into pieces and burst into a small pink mist.
Leon took a deep breath, his dark eyes flashed, and the electric snake suddenly swam outside the tiger's body, and the thunder soul armor condensed and formed, blessing him with a layer of strong defense in an instant.
Before entering the Sacred Domain, he cultivated for several months, and his strength was promoted from the second high rank to the top rank, which was only one step away from the third level, although the essential strength did not gain the growth of the breakthrough surname, but the ability to use the soul technique had been significantly improved.
With the same blessing of the soul armor, Leon's current molding speed is at least one-third faster than before.
Interestingly, the elements of heaven and earth in the sacred realm were extremely thick, and the elemental power stimulated by soul power was more majestic and quintessential than that of the Radiant Continent, and the solidity of the Thunder Soul Armor was greatly increased.
Leon, who had the soul armor protector, was full of courage, and did not hesitate to pounce on the trees in front of him, and it was a wise choice to deal with the archers who rushed over in close combat.
At this time, the sneak attackers rushed out of the bushes one after another, and there were as many as twenty or thirty!
He was about four feet tall, with dark green skin covered with pimples, and his long pointed head, red eyes, and sunken nose looked extremely ugly.
They squeak and scream with weapons such as hunting bows or bone clubs.
Leon could tell at a glance where they came from - goblins!
Goblins are a common low-level monster in the Uncharted Forest, they resemble the greenskinned goblins of the Radiant Continent in many ways, but are definitely stronger, murderous, and warlike than the greenskinned goblins.
There are detailed records about them in the sacred texts, goblins usually exist in the form of tribes, never appear alone, they are very fertile and survivable, have a certain intelligence and language, and are very fond of sneaking up on ambushes and lone adventurers.
There is no doubt that Leon was unlucky enough to run into a group of goblins, which would sneak away with amusement if he had his own team.
But now, they want to kill Leon, skin and bone, and put it in a cauldron to boil and eat!
Whew!
A dozen goblins brandished thick bone clubs at Leon, while their companions behind them drew bows and arrows, and they cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.
Leon snorted coldly, bent down and approached the two goblins rushing in front, and the thunder flame sword swung out like lightning, instantly slashing across their chests, and the speed of the shot was so fast that the opponent didn't have time to resist or dodge.
The blue blade flashed, and the two goblins' bodies stopped suddenly, their bodies shattered into four pieces in unison, and blood gushed out from the sections.
Killing two opponents with a single sword, Leon kept walking around the corpse and shouted loudly in the face of more enemies behind him.
"Kill!"
The roar of thunder shocked the goblins, and the war knife that Leon put away swung out again, and the sword qi pointed straight ahead, and suddenly turned into a thousand blades halfway through, enveloping all the goblin warriors!
Shadow Storm!
This is a samurai's group attack range soul skill, with the help of metal weapons, the soul power is triggered in the form of a sword, its power is far more than a pure sword skill, and it can attack targets dozens of steps away at most.
Originally, such a soul technique required at least an intermediate beast soul warrior to be able to perform it, but the genius Gustav modified it so that it could be used by a low-level warrior.
It took Leon nearly half a month to master this brilliant soul technique, and it was the first time he had used it in actual combat.
Although the modified version of Blade Shadow Storm is not as powerful as the original, it is more than enough to deal with a dozen goblins!
The blade, several feet long and a palm wide, as thin as a cicada's wings, slashed at the goblins' bodies and heads, easily piercing through their skins and slicing through flesh and bones.
The goblins didn't even have time to scream, and in an instant, they were cut into countless corpses by the blades, and the blood mixed with the flesh foam splattered everywhere, and the strong smell of blood diffused in the forest!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A dozen bone arrows slashed at Leon, and the goblin archers at the back launched a counterattack.
Although their interception was a step too late, at least seven or eight bone arrows hit Leon at the same time, and all of them exploded on the soul armor!
The hunting bow used by the goblin archers looks very rough and rudimentary, but it is full of power, and the bone arrows used are not made of what materials, and they can cause a certain amount of damage to the soul armor while hitting and exploding.
Leon felt the trembling of the soul armor, and although it was not enough to destroy his defenses immediately, if it was allowed to attack, it would definitely be shattered by damage.
So after taking the second wave of arrows from the goblin archers, Leon did not hesitate to speed up and charge forward, narrowing the distance between the two sides to no more than a dozen steps in the blink of an eye.
Those goblin archers were not stupid, and when they saw Leon rushing in front of them, they immediately dropped their hunting bows and turned to run, and their reflexes and speed were not slow at all.
In comparison, the green-skinned goblins on the Radiant Continent were simply weak compared to them!
Let's leave it all to Lao Tzu!
How could Leon, who was on the rise, be willing to let them slip away under his nose, his left hand pressed the animal skin pocket around his waist, and his five fingers caught four cold metal spikes.
"Yikes!"
The two goblins screamed and fell to the ground, their backs pierced by prismatic thorns, and they immediately lost the ability to flee for their lives.
Leon shot like lightning, sending out more than a dozen prismatic spikes in one go, and more than half of the goblin archers were brought down.
These spines were made by the craftsmen of Saar, and were made from the finest fine iron mixed with a portion of black iron, which Leon used to replace the long-consumed black thorns of the porcupine.
Compared with the black thorn, the metal prismatic thorn is more powerful and sharper, and after infusing soul power, it can penetrate the metal armor at close range, and has the power close to that of a heavy crossbow, which has naturally become one of Leon's killer features.
The remaining goblins fled into the woods, and Leon chased after them with his sword.
It's not that he has to hold on to these low-level monsters, but he hopes to track down the goblins' tribal lair, and maybe there will be an unexpected gain.
According to the records of the Sanctuary Classics, each goblin tribe has a leader wizard, who often collects materials such as magic cores, gems, ores, etc., and if you are lucky, you can even get treasures from the ruins if you kill the leader wizard.
Although Leon came to the Sanctuary to make a fortune, since he came across it, he couldn't miss it, and it was good to try his luck.
He followed the two goblin archers who were running wildly.
Goblin archers are fast in the forest, and their familiarity with the environment makes it difficult for the average samurai to keep up.
But Leon is an expert in jungle warfare, and even without the Silver Tanuk, it would be easy to track down two goblins.
He quietly followed behind the other party, keeping a distance of ten or twenty paces.
Running for their lives, the goblin archers always found themselves targeted by Leon, and they probably felt safe, so they slowed down, after all, goblins are not their strong point in terms of stamina.
In this way, Leon's tracking became easier, but the unexpected occurred.
Boom!
When the goblin archer passed by a dense bush, a furry arm suddenly reached out and fanned over, and the huge slap directly slapped a goblin out more than ten feet away, and the power was extremely terrifying.
The other goblin was directly frightened, it trembled and took a few steps back, and collapsed to the ground, not daring to move, as if it had encountered something terrifying.
The branches shook violently, and a ten-foot-tall monster emerged from it, spreading its palms and lifting the goblin from the ground.
Leon, who witnessed this scene, gasped.
The monster looked a lot like the gorillas of his original world, but it was much stronger and more terrifying, with a dark red skin wrapped in bulging muscles, thick limbs and sharp claws, a head full of sarcomas, and scarlet eyes full of bloodthirsty and violent colors.
It held a large black wooden stick in its left hand, picked up the goblin with its right hand, sniffed it under its nose, and slammed it into the goblin's head.
The goblin's skull suddenly cracked, and the orangutan's right hand squeezed out, squeezing out the goblin's brain, stuffing it into its own blood basin and devouring it with relish.
Ogre!
Only ogres have a penchant for eating brains, and this level 3 monster is the nemesis of goblins, and of course they don't mind changing their tastes if they encounter adventurers who break into the forest.
For many adventurers, the ogre is quite a difficult opponent, its infinite strength and defense are amazing, especially it has a high immunity to elemental attacks, and low-level mages can't beat it at all.
The ogre has a low IQ but is extremely vicious and brutal, and can still fight even if he has broken his hands and feet, and usually the adventurer team that is not strong is not willing to easily provoke an angry ogre.
Leon didn't want to provoke either, it was written very clearly in the sacred domain classics that an ogre was enough to rival a third-level mad soul warrior, and with his current strength, if he wanted to take down the other party, his surname might be very low.
But Leon also noticed something strange about the ogre, it was visibly wounded, with wounds on its face, chest, and arms that had not yet healed, and it was limping when it walked, as if it had recently experienced a terrible battle.
A wounded ogre, maybe even more terrifying!!
