Chapter 35 The Rat Swarm - Devo
Chapter 35 The Rat Swarm - Devo
Faced with the barrage of flying stones, Goblin Devor had no way to avoid them.
Its cloudy eyes darted around, and it raised its oak staff, squeaking and whistling:
"The wind surges!"
The magic power within his body quickly flowed into the oak staff, and a gust of wind gathered from the tip of the staff, transforming into a solid wind barrier.
A strong wind surged, instantly scattering the flying stones across the sky.
"We will win! I, Devor, will win!"
"That earth elemental has lost both arms; my next Thunder Arrow will shatter it!"
Goblin Devor envisioned his victory in his mind.
Our people will be great again!
however!
The wind barrier formed by the surging wind was pierced straight through by two crimson objects.
It looked closely and saw that they were the tarsal segments of two spider forelegs.
"Kunamota?"
Devor looked on in astonishment and murmured in disbelief.
"Pfft!"
A spider's tarsus flipped and pierced the goblin's right shoulder, instantly tearing off his right arm, which fell to the ground.
Another spider claw tarsus followed closely behind, smashing into the giant rat's eye socket and embedding itself into its skull.
One of the two beasts is dead, and the other is crippled.
"Too bad, I was aiming for your head."
Yue Feng chewed on some fine sand and spoke calmly.
"Ah! Ah!"
Goblin Divor wailed as he clutched his hollow right shoulder, blood gushing out between his fingers.
"Run! I have to run away!"
It hurriedly pulled a bomb from its waist and threw it at the earth elemental.
"A desperate struggle! You think you can escape from this distance?"
Yue Feng was confident that he could rush up and kill his opponent with two punches, but he still suppressed his underestimation of his opponent.
"Clay modeling!"
He immediately mobilized the magic power within his elemental essence, causing a rock a meter high to rise rapidly in front of him.
Then, he immediately crouched down, preparing to face the impact of the bomb.
Hiss~
The expected explosion did not occur; instead, thick smoke billowed around them.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Goblin Divor had vanished without a trace, leaving only a patch of frost on the ground.
Wow! He's pretty ruthless with himself!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Feng looked around and spotted a cave hidden in front of him.
When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.
Yue Feng did not rush into the cave recklessly, but instead spent a minute reshaping his body.
He knew that the goblin was already severely injured and had no chance of running far.
You only need to be wary of the opponent's desperate counterattack.
One minute later, the earth elemental's body returned to its heavy form.
......
One minute ago.
Goblin Divor raised his hand and fired an ice arrow at his right shoulder, temporarily stopping the continuous flow of blood.
It staggered and hid in the cave, which was its lair.
Each time Diwo migrates its nest, it makes a point of preparing a hidden hiding place.
Then, it slowly walked to the dead end at the deepest part of the cave and weakly reached out to touch the rock wall.
"Clay modeling technique".
The next second, the rock wall sank into the ground, revealing a hidden space.
It's just the right size for a goblin to hide in.
"Damn Kunamota!"
"Useless! The teacher shouldn't have accepted a brainless idiot like you!"
Devo slumped inside the hidden rock wall, his thoughts racing like a revolving lantern.
It recalled.
How did the teacher rescue it from the adventurers back then?
As a goblin, I am the least talented of the students.
But the teacher often said...
Devor, Devor, Devor who loves to whistle, you are the smartest one in this group of students.
The teaching time is very short, only a little over one round.
That damn Kunamota even eats her own rat friends all the time.
"Pfft!"
Goblin Divo's frostbite wound on his right shoulder burst open, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.
Its vision gradually became blurry and unfocused, and a chill spread through its skin and flesh.
"Squeak squeak".
A digging rat crawled out from underground.
"Friend, have you come to see me? Don't worry, I'll get better soon."
Devor reached out his trembling left hand and grabbed the digging rat.
"Magic: Blood and Flesh Regeneration!"
With tears streaming down its face, it sobbed as it stuffed the digging rat into its mouth and tore it apart.
Damn earth elementals! Damn adventurers! Wait until I've healed...
Unfortunately, that opportunity is gone.
A series of chewing sounds and buzzing air currents drifted in from outside the rock wall.
"Do you remember? I can sense tremors."
"Clay modeling!"
The next second, the hidden rock strata slowly rose up.
The earth elemental's face, inlaid with emeralds, appeared before Devor.
"Eeya! Martial skill: Sweep!"
Goblin Divor let out a strange cry and unleashed the only martial skill he knew.
The hand slashed swiftly towards Yue Feng in the confined space.
"Snap!"
Its left hand slammed into Kunamota's forepaw joint, breaking it off and piercing out a pale white bone.
"Pfft!"
Yue Feng's right fist, which had been gathering power for a thousand turns, smashed Divo's head.
"Phew~" He spat out a long mouthful of sand. "Finally, I've taken care of this troublesome guy."
On his way here, Yue Feng had already sensed unusual activity in the cave by using his talent for perceiving tremors.
Now that I've come to my senses, I'm thinking about it carefully.
That commotion most likely comes from the children who have been kidnapped by goblins.
Go back the way you came.
Every few steps, Yue Feng would raise his hand and tap the cave wall twice to let the trapped children hear the sound and know that someone was coming to rescue them.
Soon after, the tremor sensation returned.
The children were imprisoned behind the thick rock walls.
"Damn, thank goodness I'm an earth elementalist, otherwise it would be hard to find!"
"Clay modeling!"
The magic flowed from Yue Feng's hands into the cave walls.
The heavy rocks slowly slid apart, revealing a narrow passage.
"Alright, everyone, climb out one by one."
After Yue Feng finished speaking, he stepped aside, clearing the entrance to the passage.
At first, the children were terrified, huddled together timidly, and no one dared to take the first step.
But seeing that the earth elementalist didn't care about them at all, they lowered their guard and cautiously crawled out of the passage.
"Let's go."
Yue Feng did not have the children count their numbers.
Firstly, these children don't understand the Tu language and can't say for sure how many people are missing.
Secondly, he had seen the skeleton of a small, humanoid creature in the cave.
He had already guessed some of the clues in his mind.
......
The earth elemental's departure immediately increased the pressure on the three adventurers in the Lark Squad.
Fortunately, the spellcasters among those goblins never appeared again.
They struggled alongside Sovia for a long time.
The weapons in the hands of Krankie and Dark were already nearly dulled from cutting.
Sovia and Millie's magic had long since been exhausted.
However, there were still five or six goblins surrounding them.
"Wow!"
A goblin, gripping a shovel, charged forward with a piercing roar.
Just as the shovel blade was about to strike.
"Martial Arts Technique: Throw!"
A rock cone flew in, drawing an arc in the air.
"Pfft!"
The rock spike, with a slight obstruction, tore through flesh and sternum, plunging deep into the goblin's chest.
The remaining goblins saw the earth elemental reappear.
They immediately abandoned their armor and weapons, lost all will to fight, and scattered in all directions.
To be honest, Yue Feng thought these goblins were quite bold.
With more than twenty companions killed or wounded, only a few remained before they even thought of escaping.
Of course, he knew it in his heart.
Ultimately, these adventurers were already exhausted and at their last gasp.
