Chapter 13: Tough Goblin Beast

The two were leaning against each other intimately, talking and laughing.

That ambiguous posture made one think of a loving couple.

‘How?’

Xiao Xiyue, who he had long regarded as his prey, was so close to another strange man!

A ball of unknown anger instantly rose in Xiao Yun’s chest. Within his anger, there was a hint of jealousy. The trace of goodwill he had for Lin Feng earlier instantly vanished as he roared madly in his heart.

How? Xiao Xiyue, whom he had been pursuing with all his might, was a cold and aloof girl who treated everyone with a cold attitude. How could she show such a dainty attitude to a stranger whom he had just met? Just how?

He was a noble Level 28 Mage, but in Xiao Xiyue’s heart, he could not even compare to a Level 3 ordinary person. Xiao Yun’s prideful self-esteem seemed to have cracked, and he began to doubt his own charisma.

‘No… It’s not me.’

Xiao Yun forced himself to turn his head, trying not to look at the scene that made him burn with jealousy. He thought fiercely in his heart.

‘It’s all Xiao Xiyue’s fault. Yes, she’s the one in the wrong. I thought too highly of her previously. She’s really a good-for-nothing!’

When he exited this instance dungeon, he would definitely use the information he had previously obtained to threaten Xiao Xiyue so she would become his exclusive property. Then, he would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered!

Beside him, Xu Hui, who had noticed the change in Xiao Yun, also turned around. When she saw the intimate interaction between the two, she was delighted as it meant her position in Xiao Yun’s heart had become even more stable.

Meat shield Shi Shan and Archer Zhuo Xiu did not notice the subtle changes in the team. They were faithfully performing their duties, keeping a close eye on the surrounding environment to guard against beasts that might appear at any second.

At that moment, Zhuo Xiu, who was an archer with sharp eyes, seemed to have noticed something. His eyes turned sharp as he shouted, “Be careful! There’s an elite beast ahead!”

Hearing his warning, everyone on the team immediately focused their attention and tensed up. Even the frustrated Xiao Yun calmed down immediately. His eyes quickly locked onto a small dot in the distance and threw out an appraisal skill.

[Tough Goblin Beast – Level 25 (Elite)]

[Health Points: 2000/2000]

[Magical Power: 100/100]

[Attack Power: 160-200]

[Weapon: Mace – Attack +40 (Quality Green)]

[Skill: Rage (50 MP) – ??? (Effect unknown)]

[Description: An elite beast among goblins. Although its race is still weak, it has strength that cannot be underestimated. It also has a tough appearance that is different from the little ghosts.]

Level 25, with such high attributes… What did that skill, Fury, mean? He had never seen it before.

Xiao Yun frowned, realizing that something was wrong. Before he could think, the Elite beast let out a roar, interrupting his thoughts.

“Roar!”

When the team discovered it, the Tough Goblin had also discovered them. It roared and ran towards the team at an extremely fast speed.

Its two-meter tall body, coupled with strong muscles, gave off an intense sense of oppression.

This was the last battle of this dungeon. According to intelligence, after killing the elite beast, they would be considered to have cleared the dungeon. A few minutes after clearing the dungeon, the teleportation array would be unlocked, and they could return to the surface world.

“Be alert! Get into formation!”

Faced with the Level 25 Goblin, Xiao Yun did not dare to be negligent. He gripped his staff tightly and shouted, reminding his team members to form a formation.

“Got it.”

Shi Shan roared. His muscles tensed up as he raised his shield half the height of a human before rushing to the front and blocking the goblin’s spiked club.

[HP-31!]

The Elite Goblin’s attack power was as high as 200. Under the shield’s weakening effect, he only lost 31 HP. Shi Shan felt his hands shake, and the HP bar above his head decreased by about 1/20.

Shi Shan’s job was as a Shield Guard with thick skin and thick flesh. He had a tall physique and a certain degree of defense reduction. His exclusive weapon, the shield, could also greatly reduce the damage he received. It could be said to be very resistant to attacks.

Although a Shield Guard had the advantage of endurance, they lacked damage output and only had Shield Attack as an attack method. Fortunately, the mode of the adventure team was conducive to complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses, so everyone’s responsibilities were clear. He was the core of the team, responsible for attracting aggro and taking damage. There was no need to worry about dealing damage.

“Xu Hui, don’t forget to treat him!”

Xiao Yun reminded as he closed his eyes and chanted some awkward incantations of magic.

“Roger that!” Xu Hui shouted. A green light emitted from the priest staff she was holding rushed towards Shi Shan in front of her. A green number appeared above him.

[HP+20!]

Xu Hui’s class was Priest, and her only function was to heal HP. Although a Priest did not have much combat power, her precious healing ability was essential to an adventure team.

After all, in the process of raiding dungeons, casualties were inevitable. If they relied on the weak HP recovery of their physiques, they would not be able to recover completely. If they were not careful, there would be casualties. Therefore, an excellent Priest was the key to ensuring the party could continue to fight.

“Roar!”

Seeing that his attack had been blocked, the Tough Goblin was furious. He roared and swung his club at the shield.

[HP-39!]

“Ah!”

Under such a heavy blow, Shi Shan’s wrist seemed to have been numbed. He gritted his teeth and endured, but his feet sank into the soil.

“Xu Hui, quickly treat me!” Shi Shan shouted anxiously and added.

“There’s something wrong with the Elite monsters this time. They’re much stronger than the ones I’ve encountered before! ”

“I’ve tried my best. Healing has a cooldown time. You’ll need to wait for a while! ” Xu Hui kept waving her Priest Staff, emitting green lights every few seconds to restore Shi Shan’s HP.

At the same time, the Tough Goblin was also attacking Shi Shan, trying to bypass the shield and hit its body directly. However, the latter always reacted and raised the shield to defend.

[HP-32!]

[HP+20!]

On top of Shi Shan’s head, his HP was fluctuating up and down. Red and green numbers kept floating out, but it was overall decreasing. In just a few dozen seconds, he had already lost nearly one-third of his HP.

Though, the Tough Goblin was not having a good time either. Red numbers kept appearing above its head.

[HP-51!]

[HP-30!]

…

During this time, Zhuo Xiu’s arrows and Xiao Xiyue’s longsword kept hitting the Tough Goblin’s body, but the damage they caused was relatively limited. Only about a quarter of the Goblin’s HP was reduced, and it still had about 1500 HP left.

“Captain! Is the magic done? This beast’s attack is too fierce. I can’t hold on much longer!” Shi Shan’s face was somewhat pale as he asked anxiously.

“It’s done.” After a few dozen seconds of chanting, Xiao Yun finally finished his incantation, and a fireball had gathered on his staff. He waved his staff and released the attack he had been preparing for a long time.

“Tier 2 spell, Fireball!”

Bang!

A fireball shot out from the staff and hit the Tough Goblin’s green skin, leaving charred scars and causing it to be in great pain.

[HP-480!]

“Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The goblin howled at the sky and scratched the scar on its chest in pain. Wisps of gray smoke rose from its chest, emitting a faint burnt fragrance.

The fireball had directly reduced its HP bar by nearly a quarter. It was obvious that it was seriously injured.

Taking advantage of the Goblin’s distraction, Xiao Xiyue’s eyes turned cold. She seized this good opportunity to slash its chest.

[HP-569!]

The Tough Goblin Beast’s health bar shook and fell below half. However, this seemed to trigger some mechanism. It stomped on the ground and roared louder and louder, revealing a deep anger.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from its body. Xiao Xiyue, who had originally wanted to pursue victory, was forced to take a few steps back under the impact of this aura, unable to continue approaching.

The Tough Goblin Beast’s originally green skin turned red in an instant, and his muscles swelled up again. He was even stronger than before.

Faced with this sudden change, other than Lin Feng, everyone present was dumbstruck and at a loss for what to do!
