Chapter 307 A Chasing Battle
Chapter 307 A Chasing Battle
Amidst the forest, the young man and the horse-riding girl were halted by several protruding rock walls on the ground.
Goblin Wolf Riders roared as they began to besiege them, wielding battle-axes or brandishing long spears with exceptional agility. They could find footholds on the narrow vertical faces of the rock walls or the rugged slopes of the mountain paths.
Seizing any opportunity, they would stealthily attack from various tricky angles, retreating immediately even if parried or dodged.
Furthermore, goblins wielding crossbows sought opportunities from the periphery, launching surprise bolts through any suitable gaps. Their prime target was the robust black warhorse.
The goblins were not concerned about friendly fire, as their arrows could not inflict fatal wounds on their thick-skinned kin. The venom on the arrows was a trivial matter, as they all carried antidotes.
After several exchanges, the goblins gradually realized they held the upper hand in strength, bolstered by the shaman's skills!
The two humans could only parry their attacks with technique and agility, unable to counterattack.
Meanwhile, the floating crimson swords in the air were easily dealt with by actively pursuing and attacking them, quickly shattering them.
"Push harder! Kill the male human first!" (Goblin language)
The rallying cry from the Goblin Shaman in the rear invigorated the Wolf Riders. However, unbeknownst to them, the shaman shouted because he noticed the male human's sword was extraordinary.
At that moment, the male human's sword ignited with blue flames. As he swung it through the air, the scattered blue flames transformed into the shape of a steed, which then charged at the goblins as if alive!
The goblins had never seen such a technique, and the blue flame steeds were incredibly fast. In an instant, numerous goblins suffered severe burns, wailing in pain. Seeing their technique effective, the two humans immediately seized the opportunity to break through, creating a dangerous crack in the goblins' advantageous situation.
"Mother Earth will not forsake her children! [Nature's Gift]!"
However, as Shaman Ape completed his incantation, the situation shifted back in favor of the goblins.
A green beam of light shot from the shaman's oak staff into the sky, followed by a "rain" of green droplets on the goblins.
As the rainwater merged with their bodies, the burned goblins no longer felt pain, and their wounds began to heal slowly.
This was the miracle brought by the great Goblin Shaman Ape!
As long as Ape was present, they were invincible!
The Goblin Wolf Riders' morale soared, and they quickly caught up with the two humans. Shaman Ape followed on his giant wolf, but his expression was somewhat gloomy. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑜𝘳𝘨
Only Ape knew that "Nature's Gift" could only heal certain levels of abnormal conditions and not restore vitality.
The spell merely alleviated the goblins' pain. If the male human continued to attack with his enchanted sword, the goblins could only withstand one or two more blows with its power.
"Brothers! No need to hold back! Let's finish this quickly and celebrate our victory!"
Thus, Shaman Ape abandoned the idea of stalling for time. His latest assessment was that the male human posed a high level of danger and must be killed as soon as possible to eliminate future threats.
.
Upon hearing the command from the Shaman, the Wolf Riders erupted in enthusiastic cheers, their morale boiling at that moment!
"Master Ape said! Unleash your fury!"
A Goblin Wolf Rider leaped onto a rock, and the giant wolf raised its head, letting out a long, resounding battle howl. This was one of their three skills, "Giant Wolf Howl," which granted strength and agility bonuses to all Wolf Riders within a ten-meter radius! (Effects cannot be stacked during this time)
Empowered, the Wolf Riders bravely pursued, each employing different chase skills!
"Crush them! 'Phantom Wolf'!"
"Die by my hand! 'Decapitating Flying Axe'!"
"Yah! It's hunting time! 'Giant Wolf Pounce'!"
In an instant, magical phantom wolves, green-glowing double-edged battle-axes, and enhanced giant wolves acting independently all assaulted the two humans!
Suddenly, the male human swiftly turned around and swung his sword, releasing another blue flame steed!
However, this time the goblins had learned their lesson. As soon as they saw the human's initial move, they knew the terrifying blue flames were coming again and immediately scattered. Only a few goblins were slightly injured by the flames as they dodged too slowly.
"Hahaha! If you can't hit us, it's useless! Brothers, charge!"
The goblins fought more fiercely, and under their relentless pursuit, the female human had almost no strength left to fight back, leaving only the male human struggling. Their victory was within reach!
"When Mother Earth is angry, she will take back her gifts..."
The Goblin Shaman's chanting reached the front lines at this moment. Hearing the incantation, the Wolf Riders slowed their pursuit. After about ten seconds, a totem adorned with numerous curse masks suddenly appeared above the two humans' heads and then plunged straight into the ground in front of them!
"Earth Curse: Magic Drain!"
With a furious shout from Shaman Ape, a green halo rapidly spread from the totem's center, inevitably hitting the two humans...
— (What?! Where's the male human?)
Under Shaman Ape's watchful gaze, the male human suddenly disappeared.
Immediately after, a scream came from the side. The male human had stealthily moved and stabbed a goblin through the chest from behind.
— (Damn it, what speed? Even faster than our Goblin Assassins?!)
Although the Wolf Riders immediately attacked en masse, Shaman Ape remained uneasy. He urged his mount to chase the male human but changed direction halfway, lunging towards the female human.
At this moment, Shaman Ape had a new idea: he believed that if he could capture the female human as a hostage, the male human would surely surrender.
"Oh, Goblin God, your offspring are calling upon the power of their ancestors..."
Shaman Ape chanted quickly while riding his wolf at full speed.
"We need unbreakable shackles to bind our enemies..."
He saw, unsurprisingly, that the male human was also rushing towards the female human.
But the one who arrived first was him!
"Bind her! 'Binding Shackles'!"
A green light shot straight from his oak staff towards the female human!
However, to Shaman Ape's surprise, the male human fearlessly threw himself in front of the female, blocking the "Binding Shackles" with his own body.
"Hahaha! What a heroic rescue!"
Shaman Ape was overjoyed, not expecting to control the male human so effortlessly!
As long as the "Binding Shackles" were not removed by him, no one could break them!
