Chapter 18: Qin Fan, You Take the Front Line
Chapter 18: Qin Fan, You Take the Front Line
Of course...
The most chilling sight was the dried human heads hanging from the high towers around the fortress.
It seemed to show off the past glorious victories of this Goblin Village.
It also indicated that the difficulty of this secret realm dungeon was exceptionally high.
All the previous adventurers who entered were annihilated.
"Let's go, charge straight in!"
"Fatty, as a Warrior, you take the front and hold the line!"
"Blue Hair, as an Assassin, you flank and protect the damage dealers."
"Everyone else, focus on output, and manage your mana. Drink mana potions when you're low."
"Little Rou, stay behind me. I'll protect you!"
"As for you, Dragon Tamer brother, stay in the back and throw some long-range items to distract the monsters!"
Zhou Xuanhan quickly issued orders in a commanding tone.
"Okay!"
The others agreed cheerfully.
Su Rou shook her head gently. "No need. I'll stay at the back with Qin Fan and buff you all from there."
Zhou Xuanhan didn't insist and nodded lightly. In his mind, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to get rid of this Dragon Tamer. Ideally, he'd like him to die here permanently.
It's normal for a few people to die while tackling a wild secret realm dungeon, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuanhan’s lips curled into a cold smile.
...
"Hiss, hiss!!"
The goblin sentries at the village gate sensed something.
They began to emit hoarse cries.
One small, ugly goblin tried to run back and alert the others in the village.
But just then...
Whoosh!!
A sharp arrow flew through the air!
Thud!!
It hit the goblin squarely, piercing it through before it could alert the others!
"Charge!!"
With Zhou Xuanhan’s command, the entire adventurer team surged forward!
The goblin sentries were furious that mere humans dared to attack their base so brazenly!
"Ah!!"
Sharp, unpleasant cries came from the goblin sentries' throats.
They grabbed spears, stone axes, and other weapons, rushing to attack the human team!
Buzz!!
At this moment, the only Priest in the team, Su Rou, began to wave her expensive purple staff.
Soft, blessing lights fell on all the team members.
'Weapon Blessing!'
'Might Spell!'
'Gift of Courage!'
'Heavenly Melody!'
Four buff spells enhanced the team's front line and damage dealers, invigorating them instantly.
'Weapon Blessing' gave them an extra 20% physical and magical attack power.
'Might Spell' provided continuous stamina regeneration.
'Gift of Courage' heightened their fighting spirit, boosting all attributes by 10%.
'Heavenly Melody' increased everyone's physical and magical resistance by 20%.
There's no doubt that...
As a Priest, Su Rou was exceptionally skilled.
She was indeed a famous prodigy from No. 1 High School.
Her smooth spellcasting and attention to every teammate were things many novice Priests couldn’t do.
Under Su Rou's buffs, the thirty-plus goblin sentries were dealt with in just ten seconds.
"Awesome! No wonder you're the strongest Priest from No. 1 High School!"
"Yeah! Way better than the Priests I've teamed up with before!"
"Not only are her buffs powerful, but she's also super quick at casting them!"
"Strong, strong, strong! Brother Zhou, your childhood friend is incredible!"
Su Rou's impressive performance earned unanimous praise.
"Hehe, Little Rou and I have grown up together, so I trust her abilities!"
Zhou Xuanhan laughed and praised.
But then, he changed the subject.
"Someone here hasn't contributed at all. After we clear this dungeon, they might not get any rewards."
At this, everyone fell silent but held back their laughter, looking at Qin Fan, who remained expressionless.
Only Su Rou shook her head gently.
These people...
Sigh!
They had no idea!
It’s just that Qin Fan doesn’t feel like acting now!
When they reach the depths of the village, they’ll see how powerful Qin Fan really is!
"Alright, let's move on!"
Zhou Xuanhan waved his hand, leading the team toward the fortress adorned with human heads.
The goblin sentries were just an appetizer. Everyone knew the truly powerful goblins were further ahead!
Soon, they broke through a gate with a loud noise, and a swarm of goblin minions of two different skin colors rushed at them!
"Damn! A hundred minions!"
The front-line Warrior, Fatty, became serious at the sight.
Facing this many monsters, even he had to be cautious.
Everyone used 'Appraisal Eye' to get a clear look at the goblin minions' stats.

...
Damn!
Silver★★ minions!
And over a hundred of them!
"Form up! Little Rou, keep healing and buffing the front line!"
"Everyone else, use area-of-effect skills!"
Zhou Xuanhan calmly issued orders.
Qin Fan still didn’t take action.
But this time, the fight wasn’t as easy. It took over ten minutes to clear the second wave of goblin minions.
Moreover...
The team members were significantly drained.
Especially Fatty, the front-line Warrior.
He was drenched in sweat since all the goblin minions' attacks targeted his shield, making it very tough for him.
"Brother Zhou, let's rest a bit. I can't go on!"
Fatty said with a bitter smile.
"Alright, take a break!"
"Someone else take over!"
Zhou Xuanhan turned, his gaze falling on Qin Fan, whose expression hadn’t changed.
"Qin Fan, you can’t keep freeloading for experience. Fatty is tired, so you take his place!"
"Fatty, you follow behind Qin Fan. If he can’t hold up, you step in!"
Everyone exchanged looks.
What the hell?
Asking a fragile Dragon Tamer to take the front line?
