Kela Great Forest.

Plunged into chaos.

Over a thousand adventurers, strong, weak, and inexperienced alike.

All rushed in, frantically hunting goblins.

Some of the larger goblin tribes were fixed locations, and adventurers never dared to attack them before.

After all, they numbered in the tens of thousands, and even the smaller ones had thousands.

How could any adventurer squad dare provoke them?

But now things were different.

All the adventurers acted together, flattening mountains and destroying camps at every turn!

Small goblin nests and goblin tribes.

In an instant, they turned into a sea of blood.

Goblins had their left ears cut off, and nothing else was taken.

During the goblin crusade, they naturally encountered other demonic beasts.

These beasts tried to resist but were effortlessly wiped out by the adventurers.

Like that level 12 Demon Bear.

When it saw human adventurers intruding on its territory, it roared and charged.

But it was pierced through by a dozen arrows, dying with its eyes wide open.

"This Demon Bear is a treasure from head to toe. Let's dissect it and take it back; it'll fetch a good price!"

"Alright!"

The adventurers worked together to dismember it, distributing the parts according to strength.

Then they continued forward.

Their main target was still the goblins. As long as low-level monsters didn't provoke them, they wouldn't make a move.

"Does anyone else feel something's off?"

An adventurer squad was walking along when they suddenly sensed something amiss.

"What do you mean?"

"Everything seems normal; it's the same path we've taken before, no wrong turns..." the Warrior replied, looking back.

"That's not what I mean."

"Don't you feel there are fewer beasts around?"

"In the past, Uni-Rabbits were everywhere, but today there's nothing."

"And the birds in the trees? They're gone too!"

With this reminder, everyone realized.

They all drew their weapons, standing back to back, scanning their surroundings.

This area was eerily quiet, not even the sound of insects.

There must be an ambush.

"Everyone, be careful. The goblins might be prepared, lying in wait with traps!"

"Move forward slowly..."

"Got it!"

The five-member squad, with their rich experience, chose to take smaller paths.

Avoiding complex areas, fearing they'd fall into traps.

Just then.

A whistling sound filled the air.

A volley of feather arrows approached from afar, reaching them in an instant.

"Watch out!"

The shield-bearer roared, slamming his giant shield into the ground.

Shield skill.

Golden Fortress!

Fighting Spirit surged into the shield, forming an enormous invisible barrier that blocked all incoming arrows.

"It's goblins!"

The adventurer squad wasn't afraid; instead, they were all excited.

They had been searching, and now so many had come to them.

"Shield up front to hold them off!"

"Archer, find a favorable position."

"Scout, locate them."

"Assassin, hunt from the shadows!"

The captain quickly ordered, drawing his sword and raising his shield, charging into the forest.

Sure enough, he saw a dozen goblins drawing their bows, firing another volley.

"Hahaha, you little beasts, obediently turn into our silver coins!"

The Warrior captain laughed wildly, swinging his sword fiercely.

A sword light shot out.

Instantly slicing three goblins in half.

Warrior Skill.

Single Strike!

The other goblins immediately turned their bows on the Warrior, firing continuously.

The Warrior used his shield to protect himself, drawing their attention.

Meanwhile, the Archer had climbed a tree, picking off goblins one by one.

In an instant, several goblins had their heads blown off.

"Retreat quickly..."

Seeing so many of their companions dead, the goblins dropped their weapons and fled.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The Assassin suddenly appeared.

His dagger gleamed, and in an instant, three goblins had their throats slit.

Dying on the spot.

However, a few goblins managed to escape.

"Chase them!"

Who would refuse silver coins delivered to their doorstep?

The adventurer squad quickly pursued.

Just as they rushed through the grassland, they saw a goblin wielding a short sword and shield.

"Hahaha, let's see where you run now!"

"Kill!"

The Warrior goblin laughed wildly, unleashing a Horizontal Slash.

Unexpectedly, the goblin didn't retreat but advanced.

Directly adopting the Warrior Skill, Charge stance.

Like a cannonball, it charged forward.

The Horizontal Slash struck the shield, having no effect, easily blocked by the goblin.

"How is this possible?"

The Warrior's eyes widened, nearly scared out of his wits.

As a Warrior, he recognized his own skill.

Charge?!

How could it be!

How could a goblin use skills?

Before he could react, the goblin was already upon him.

Delivering a Horizontal Slash.

A sword light shot out, shorter but no less lethal.

"Damn it!"

The Warrior hurriedly raised his shield to block, shocked beyond belief.

This was unmistakable; it was clearly a special type.

"Comrades, come quickly, it's a special type..."

He called for help while preparing to counterattack.

But suddenly, the goblin's figure vanished.

"Huh?"

"What happened?"

Before he could find the target, a small figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

The dagger in its hand emitted a chilling glow, stabbing viciously into his side.

Assassin Skill.

Piercing!

The strike was silent, swift as lightning.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

The Warrior didn't even have time to react, stabbed clean through.

"Ah..."

The intense pain made the Warrior scream, collapsing to his knees.

Then a short sword, like a snake, slashed across his throat.

"Slash!"

Blood spurted.

The Warrior's eyes widened, watching his blood gush like a fountain.

In disbelief, he fell heavily.

Chen Yao withdrew the short sword, sneering.

His figure turned ghostly again, vanishing in an instant.

The next moment.

Four figures rushed over.

Seeing the Warrior's corpse, they were stunned.

"How is this possible? He's dead?" The Archer was both shocked and furious.

None of them expected that the Warrior, who was just speaking, would be dead the next moment.

"Look at his wound, it's from an Assassin's dagger..."

"That's right!"

"It's definitely a dagger!"

"It wasn't the goblins; it was another adventurer!"

"But the goblin's ears weren't taken?"

"They probably didn't have time; they ran when they saw us coming."

"Damn it!"

"We must report this and get justice for our comrade."

"Let's go!"

They couldn't bother with hunting goblins anymore; they had to report this immediately.

Adventurers attacking adventurers was a grave crime!

If caught, it was punishable by death.

Especially in the Novice Area, this iron rule hadn't been broken in a long time.

They carried their comrade's body and left quickly.

Chen Yao reappeared, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Running away so soon, how boring!"

"Time to find someone else!"

But after this battle, Chen Yao had a rough idea of his strength.

Currently at level 14, he was higher than the humans here.

But the goblin's physical attributes were too poor, starting too low.

Barely able to fight against level 10 humans.

However, he had skills from several professions, allowing him to catch them off guard!
