Dark Blood Path

Chapter 4: Goblin Leader

Jin Shi and Wang Chao, who both were supposed to die in the earthquake, fortunately survived. These two guys had a solid bond with Xiao Yu. Although they majored in different subjects, they all lived together in the same dormitory and were also in the arts and design department. Xiao Yu studied art, and the two of them design.

Jinshis father was a painter, and his mother was a graphic designer. He had a good physique and had loved sports very much since he was young; his dream since then was to become an athlete. Yet, due to his familys stubbornness, he was forced to pick up a paintbrush and learn how to paint. In the end, he was successfully admitted to the Fine Arts College.

Contrary to Jin Shis status as an art student, he was not bad at all physically speaking. At the sports gathering last year, He won multiple prizes in several events by himself. And so, one or two goblins were no match for him. However, the unlucky Jin Shi stumbled into a goblins group and was pursued by more than a dozen goblin slaves all at once. So he had no choice but to escape in a sorry state.

Stone, run over there, hurry! Find a place to hide! Xiao Yu shouted, holding a goblins club and rushing towards his friend, throwing a large amount of dust and gravel at the goblins faces. They shrieked, covering their eyes, and immediately stopped their pursuit, as Jin Shi raced to a safe place hurriedly.

Ji-gu!

The goblin slaves had lost their target, so they directed their rage toward Xiao Yu, and with an ugly snarl, they chased after him. Even if Xiao Yus current physique was roughly two times stronger than that of ordinary people, facing more than a dozen dangerous goblins at the same time was impossible. He didnt give it much thought before turning around and fleeing.

More than a dozen goblins wielding wooden clubs chased after him. They had short legs with shackles, and yet although their speed was not that fast, their endurance was astonishing. Even with Xiao Yu circling the square twice, they did not give up pursuit.

Damn it, why are they chasing me so hard? This is really irritating!

Just when Xiao Yu began to get headaches as a result of the non-stop pursuit, he suddenly saw a goblin not far away chasing Jiang Xiaowen. The girl was obviously terrified and entered the remains of demolished buildings. As a result, during the chase, the iron chains under the goblins feet accidentally caught into a raised rock slab, causing it to stumble down.

Jiang Xiaowen was also highly clever, as she seized the opportunity to pick up a large rock and then smashed it hard into the goblins head.

A loud crash sound was heard.

Just then, a ball of light the size of a fingernail shot into the center of her eyebrows.

You can do that?

With a plan in mind, Xiao Yu led the dozen goblin slaves into the ruins of a teaching building. He moved very nimbly and rushed to the top of the ruins in the blink of an eye. The dozen or so goblin slaves, though, were considerably duller. They were not particularly intelligent, to begin with, and with all of their attention on Xiao Yu, ultimately, they either stepped into the gaps between the stone columns by mistake or their shackles chains got caught within concrete blocks. They roared angrily at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu rushed down from the ruins, holding a goblins club with both hands, and like in the whack-a-mole game, he smashed the goblins heads one by one. The immense force shattered their skulls before he absorbed over a dozen balls of energy in the blink of an eye. However, as more essence was absorbed, the strengthening effect decreased. With the last wisp of energy entering his forehead, his physique was about three times stronger than that of an average person.

Three times the physique of an ordinary person did not seem to be much at first glance, but it was by no means as simple as the equivalent strength of three human beings. To ordinary people, Xiao Yu now is no different from a superhuman. His speed easily outpaces that of the world sprint champion, and his strength easily surpasses that of the world weightlifting champion. Furthermore, his overall response time has improved significantly.

Seeing this, Wang Chao yelled loudly: yes, that was satisfying! Well done! These dwarf bastards deserve it, fuck them to death!

Jin Shi was also shocked, It turns out that you can deal with a large group of monsters just like this!

Wang Chao threw a wooden club at him and said casually: You idiot, there are not many monsters left; these damned creatures have killed so many of our classmates. Lets finish at least two of them as revenge!

Jin Shi held the weapon in his hand and weighed it. He stared at his friend and shouted: Okay, Lets go! The two rushed toward several goblin slaves at the same time.

In this scuffle, Han Kexin caused many people to stare at her in awe. The lovely queen displayed a picture of wisdom and ferocity. In the face of this threat, she showed amazing calmness and bravery, second only to Xiao Yu. She knows how to use the terrain to divide groups of monsters and use various obstacles to her advantage. Every attack was precise and fierce. After killing a few monsters and gaining more strength, she became able to deal with goblins easily.

Over two hundred goblins were killed. Some of the approximately two thousand instructors and students who survived the earthquake broke through the goblins siege and fled into the forest. As for the rest, more than four hundred people died, most of them in the first rows. Those who survived the first wave, Waited and reacted quickly, as even girls were much faster than goblins. After experiencing extreme fear, many daring people aroused the ferocity hiding in their blood and began fighting the creatures in close quarters. Although a considerable number of them were killed, the others who survived and killed monsters became stronger instead.

Han Kexin knocked down her fifth goblin so far, and after absorbing its energy, she felt her physical strength improving to a higher level. She was ready to kill the next monster around her when she realized that there was no goblin slave to slay anywhere nearby. In this bloody and cruel battle, the final victory actually belonged to human beings.

Everyone looked at the corpses all over the floor. All kinds of internal organs, blood, and brains were scattered all over the place. The teachers and students bodies were strewn everywhere, with many small goblin corpses among them. Everyone felt a surge of excitement blooming in their hearts.

The joy of surviving a catastrophe and the excitement of winning a bloody battle!

Everybody was just feeling relieved when a low-pitched horn sound echoed from the forests direction, Woo-!

Suddenly More than two hundred skinny goblin slaves holding wooden clubs sprang out from the southern forest direction. Following them emerged forty to fifty sturdier-looking goblin warriors holding short spears in one hand and wooden shields in the other. In the midst of it all stood a massive goblin with blue skin, extremely worn-out leather armor, a wolf fur helmet, and a long machete with holes in it. It was taller than any goblin they ever saw, with its upper half standing out from the crowd.

Xiao Yu recognized it immediately; it was the goblin leader!

Ah, theres another monster!

waah, are we going to die here?

A bunch of frail females sounded utterly desperate.

Cry! You girls only know how to cry. Can crying kill monsters?

Kill them; we have nothing to fear.

Thats right, kill them all; we can become stronger!

The same group of red-eyed, reckless males who were shouting picked up the clubs dropped by the goblin slaves. They roared and charged toward more than two hundred goblins.

argh! The goblin leader roared strangely, raised its machete, and swung it around.

At its command, more than forty goblin warriors threw the short spears in their hands at the same time, and with a dreadful wind noise, the projectiles shot violently at the crowd.

These short spears contained astonishing power; after piercing through one persons body, they still had some power left as they broke through and killed another one. The group of angry humans rushed up bravely, yet fifty or sixty of them fell down in just one exchange.

Chickoo! Chickoo!

The goblin leader slammed the back of its weapon hard, raised its head, and let out a weird cry as if it were a general issuing orders to attack. Just then, two hundred goblin slaves pressed forward at the same time. The blue goblin took the lead, its body bending forward like a fast and powerful cheetah charging ahead. It swung its big machete and slashed down in the air; a three-meter-long cyan light burst out from the damaged blade and swung down with fierce momentum.

One student only noticed a flash of blue light, but before he could see what attacked him, the energy wave cut him in half, leaving a shocking knife mark on the ground! The goblin leader kicked its feet on the ground, and its burly body turned into a blue afterimage, rushing into a group of people. Blood and broken limbs flew everywhere, and the people around started crying for their parents as they had no ability to resist. It was simply a massacre.

Damn it, there is actually a goblin leader! Xiao Yu shouted loudly: Stop fighting; run for your life!

Goblin leaders were First-order monsters that had already evolved and gained some amount of intelligence. Its strength was absolutely equivalent to a hundred ordinary goblin slaves. There were also goblin warriors who were significantly more powerful than goblin slaves. Adding the new two hundred goblin slaves to this lineup will most definitely cause them to be wiped out.

There was absolutely no need to continue this battle because the number of enemies was too large, as was their fighting power. It may be that a certain goblin tribe is moving in; in that case, there might be even more powerful entities than the goblin leaders, such as goblin soldiers, goblin knights, goblin generals, and even goblin lords. Once those appear, no one could escape.

Their defeat would be instant!

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Yu to shout at all. The terrifying fighting power displayed by the goblin leader shocked everyone, no one would be stupid enough to court death, so they quickly divided into several streams of people as they fled into the forest. Xiao Yu also rushed into the woods with Jin Shi and Wang Chao in tow, and at least two hundred people followed after him, including several classmates, such as Jiang Xiaowen and Han Kexin, who were also amongst the group.

Ji-gu! Ji-gu!

The goblin leader didnt pursue them, and walked slowly to the middle of the ruins, raised its big machete in the air, and let out a loud roar of victory, indicating that this place would be their new territory.

Under its new orders, some goblins continued to hunt down the fleeing humans.

The goblin warriors picked up short spears from the ground and threw them again, piercing and killing one human being after another. Some of the unfortunate ones even got pinned into huge trees.

There were screams of hell from behind.

Escape, escape desperately!

Otherwise, only death awaits you!

Various plants and shrubs sprouted from the ground in this dense green forest. You could also see some entangled roots of trees exposed from beneath the soil and boulders of different sizes being covered with a layer of moss. Running in this complex and rugged terrain desperately was very exhausting. Even worse, countless venomous insects and snakes were seen lurking around, and several plants were highly poisonous; every single step was full of danger.

A climate typical of tropical rainforests. The humidity was extremely high in the forest, as the dense branches blocked out most of the sunlight. Because of the high temperature, the moisture evaporated, and the air felt exceedingly hot, making people feel heavy in their lungs, with irritability and difficulty in breathing. As time went by, the weaker ones fell behind one after the other. After running for dozens of minutes, less than one-fifth of them could keep up. Fortunately, the goblins stopped chasing them.

Wang Chao was panting while running before shouting, I cant run anymore; fatty is about to collapse!

Not far away, Jiang Xiaowen was also out of breath. Nevertheless, she killed two goblin slaves and gained a certain amount of strength; otherwise, she would have been left far behind, considering her physique.

Hold on!

Xiao Yu seemed to be highly familiar with the route as he led the group on a constant shuttle through the forest. His brain gears were turning fast; he tried recalling the environmental conditions in the forest and worked out a relatively easy and safe escape route.

After all, the monsters here were not NPCs in computer games. They had a great sense of territory, but that didnt mean that their area of activity was constricted only to their territory. These monsters were shrewd and highly mobile; no one knew from where they will appear in the next moment.

At this time, a man with glasses on, a thin body, and a nerdy appearance shouted, clearly out of breath: Xiao Yu I cant do it, I really cant do it anymore. Can we have a rest! he was a classmate named Sun Qichao. He was highly shortsighted, and his glasses were as thick as a beer cap, but he was a nice guy, very cheerful, and very humorous. He often played online games together with them, and he was not bad as a friend.

Xiao Yu didnt give him a reply yet.

Suddenly!

He felt a strange movement in the dense forest!

Xiao Yu clearly saw a gray shadow flashing away from the bushes, and his expression immediately changed: Run, dont stop; whoever stops will definitely die!
