Earth elemental begins to elbow strike wildly.

Chapter 3: Left punch deals high damage, right punch deals high damage

Two small creatures appeared before Yue Feng.

They have pointed ears, thin limbs, short stature, round bellies, and dark green skin, looking just like two green rats standing upright.

The sneak attack failed, and the two green mice's confidence plummeted.

None of them dared to take a step forward; they only dared to wave their weapons and squeak and squeak.

Yue Feng seized the opportunity and immediately focused his attention on a monster, silently thinking: Check the panel.

The gray light under his eyes flashed for a fleeting moment in the blink of an eye, then went out.

【Name: ? ? ? (lv3)】

Race: Goblin lv3 (Inferior Species)

Occupation: None

[Talent]: None

[Protection]: None

[Martial Arts Skills]: None

[Magic]: None

[Equipment]: Rusty Harvesting Scythe

"So this is the monster those three humans were hunting? Aside from its rusty farm sickle, it has absolutely no abilities, does it?"

After venting his frustrations, Yue Feng placed his arms in front of his head and focused his attention on his fists.

[Changes in body posture]

A surge of magical power erupted from the elemental essence, flowing into the arm through the rocks and sand.

Click! Click!

First, three sharp rock spikes suddenly pierced out from the knuckles, followed by the protrusion of various-sized stone fragments along the entire forearm.

In no time, her arms looked as if they were covered with barnacles, and just looking at them was enough to make people with trypophobia tingle.

The two goblins in front of me were still squeaking and squeaking.

But the sound gradually became clearer and more accurate.

"The stone golem is slow, the goblin is faster!"

"We...we'll go together, we can definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, Yue Feng had already charged towards the goblin.

With his left foot firmly planted on the ground, he simultaneously used his left arm to protect his head, sidestepped, turned, and threw a punch in one fluid motion.

A muffled thud.

With only a slight obstruction, the rock spike in his right fist slammed into the goblin's skull, splattering a cloud of bone fragments and red and white matter.

The goblin was punched and sent flying into a snowdrift. A few wisps of warm mist rose from the crack in its skull and slowly dissipated in the cold air.

"That was a fairly standard hook punch; looks like you haven't completely forgotten it."

Yue Feng offered a brief evaluation.

Yue Feng felt no guilt about killing goblins, these humanoid monsters, as if it were no different from killing a chicken.

He couldn't smell the blood, nor could he feel the stickiness of the brain matter, and the stimulation from the scene was far less intense than he had expected.

Perhaps this is the price of becoming an earth element, seemingly drifting further and further away from humans.

"Oh, right!" Yue Feng suddenly turned around and glared at the other goblin, asking, "Did you just speak?"

Seeing its companion instantly killed, the green rat completely lost its will to fight, threw away its scythe, and turned to run away.

Overwhelmed by fear, his legs went weak and his muscles went numb. He hadn't run two steps before he fell into a snowdrift, still squealing and yelling incessantly.

Yue Feng patiently tried to communicate with the goblin, but to no avail, so he went over and cracked open its head as well.

Before I could even clean the blood and flesh residue stuck to my body, the tremors alerted me again.

This time, they came with three targets, and they walked with heavier steps and faster speed.

Unfortunately, the range of his tremor perception was too small. He turned around and had only raised his fist halfway when he saw that it was the three human adventurers from before.

Ding!

[Status]: Magic depleted (ineffective), mild fatigue

Yue Feng saw a line of semi-transparent text flash before his eyes before he lowered his arm and slowly walked to Sovia's side.

Anyway, we can't go far.

Goblins are not very strong in combat, and I can use the tremors to sense and be on guard against danger.

"Were those two goblins killed by the earth elemental?"

The fighter, Ben, asked in bewilderment, "With the earth elemental's snail-paced reaction speed, how could it possibly touch a goblin? Goblins these days are getting dumber and dumber."

When asked about his reaction speed, he proudly threw two straight punches in the air and dodged a few times by turning to the left and right.

"Alright, save me the trouble."

After handing the two goblin left ears he had cut off to Sovia, Luca continued:

"Those are earth elementals summoned by Sovia. She's educated; do you think they're the same as the ones you've seen before?"

"I remember it was the Seventh Affiliated Academy of the Balefro Empire, right?"

Sovia nodded shyly and muttered to herself, "I just finished my studies in the Earth Realm and haven't accumulated enough points for further studies yet."

For some reason, Yue Feng was able to clearly sense the emotions surging in Sovia's heart, and their souls seemed to be quietly connected.

He could sense that Sovia was afraid and panicked.

In the midst of freezing cold and snow, facing the danger of hunting monsters, it's perfectly normal to feel fear.

Moreover, the three were just a group of adventurers put together temporarily, and there was not much trust between them to begin with.

Call ~

Sovia exhaled a heavy breath of white air, drew her oak staff from her back, and said:

"The magical buffs on us are about to dissipate, so please come closer, seniors."

As she finished speaking, she softly recited:

"A false sense of power! Delaying fatigue!"

Two magical marks, one red and one white, simultaneously lit up on the foreheads of the four people. After hovering in the air for a few seconds, they transformed into streams of light and merged into their bodies.

Hey~

Status: Mild fatigue (ineffective), Courage boost (weak)

Yue Feng was unaware of fatigue, but the increased courage did have some effect.

At least I'm not so nervous anymore; I feel like I can take on ten goblins.

"There are only three goblins left. We'll be able to complete the quest soon."

After Luca finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and fell into a long silence.

They were unlucky; they caught the last snowfall of the flood season.

Fine snowflakes began to fall softly, and night quietly enveloped the forest. Not only did visibility plummet, but some nocturnal monsters were also about to awaken.

"There are very few monsters in the late water phase. If we only stay on the outskirts of the Four Seasons Forest, we shouldn't encounter any danger."

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Luca gritted his teeth and continued:

"I'll give you two more hours to finish this job, and then I'll treat everyone to a nice meal."

The three men and the earth spirit looked at each other for a moment, then nodded in tacit agreement, thus forming a united front.

Just for these three goblins, I had to brave the cold wind and suffer the next day.

Is the bed not warm enough? Or is the hot soup not fragrant enough?

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yue Feng; no one would pay attention to the opinion of a lump of dirt and rocks.

Sudden.

A cold glint flashed from the snowdrift six or seven meters away.

call out--!

A dagger shot through the air, aiming straight for Sovia!

The incident happened so suddenly that Yue Feng only had time to raise his hand to block, but his speed was far slower than that of the flying dagger.

The blade grazed the rock with a "swoosh," its sharpness diminished, and then with a "plop," it plunged deep into Sovia's calf.

"ah!!!"

Bright red blood gushed from the wound along the blade, instantly soaking the trouser leg.

Sovia lacked practical experience; as a mage apprentice, she didn't even know where the dagger came from.

Her legs buckled, and she fell heavily to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

Seeing that the sneak attack had succeeded.

Five goblins suddenly ripped off their tattered woolen clothes and sprang up from the snowdrift.

Under the cover of darkness and snow, they stealthily crept up to us.

The goblins were hiding in a spot that was almost exactly outside the range of the tremor.

It was clearly done on purpose.

Yue Feng's heart sank suddenly as he remembered the goblin that had ambushed him earlier.

What a coincidence!

He hadn't run long before he ran into two?

"It's obvious that we are the prey."
