Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Dog Eat Dog
Zong Shen patted Pigsy.
As the saying goes, raise a pig for a thousand days, use it for a moment.
Pigsy is after all a formidable Blue Captain Level character, with tough skin and thick flesh, best used as a meat shield.
"Oink oink..."
Pigsy oinked and moved to the front of the team, gradually starting to run.
Everyone followed behind Pigsy.
The speed increased, like a mini-truck starting a coordinated charge.
The entire mine tunnel trembled slightly under Pigsy’s running, though it couldn’t shake the tunnel, there was a rumbling sound of running echoing.
With this, the two Goblin Spear Throwers couldn’t sit still.
They leaned out and started throwing their javelins at the charging Pigsy.
"Puff! Puff!"
Two Black Iron Spears pierced into Pigsy’s arched back.
Pigsy has an Armor Value of 40, with tough skin and thick flesh, the two javelins only dealt moderate damage.
[-50]
[-50]
For its Life Value of 1400, it was just a scratch.
The two Goblin Spear Throwers decisively chose to flee.
As they ran, they babbled loudly towards the mine hall at the end of the tunnel.
They seemed to be alerting others.
"Capture net! Don’t let them escape."
Zong Shen decisively gave the command.
Two capture nets were thrown out, covering them fully.
The Wolf Cavalry pounced like wolves, while a few mages began their chanting.
The two Skeleton Archers and Mapple also drew their bows to shoot arrows.
Zong Shen focused and saw detailed attributes immediately floating in front of his eyes.
[Level 20 Goblin Spearman (Green)]
[Race: Humanoid Demon]
[Throwing Damage: 45]
[Life Value: 580]
[Armor Value: 18]
[Skills: Destructive Throwing lv10 (Throws a Black Iron Spear, causing 1.1 times throwing damage, inflicting destructive effects on equipment, cooling time 30 minutes)
Cruel Throwing lv5 (Throws a Black Iron Spear, causing 1.3 times throwing damage, inflicts a tearing wound effect lasting 5 seconds, causing continuous damage of 1% of the target’s Life Value Limit per second)
Passive Skills: Strong lv1 (Goblin Throwers have a strong physique, increasing strength by an additional 5 points) ]
(Ugly and evil green-skinned creatures, hostile to all other wise life forms, failures in the chaos, more evil and cruel than their distant relatives the goblins, possessing certain wisdom and civilization)
In the capture net, the two Goblin Spear Throwers struggled vigorously.
They were about 1.6 meters tall, with extremely strong arms, looking very disproportionate.
A spear bag was slung on their back, and the Black Iron Long Spears inside clanged against each other.
The Wolf Cavalry surrounded them in small groups, constantly bombarding them with magic.
In just two or three seconds, their blood volume was reduced to below half.
By the time they broke free from the net’s constraints, they were already surrounded by the Wolf Cavalry.
The two ranged warriors were caught in close combat, miserable beyond words.
They cried out chaotically under various attacks.
Zong Shen also stepped forward with a sword, slashing fiercely at the Goblin Spearman with the lower blood volume.
[-64]
For these light armor units, Zong Shen’s attack power was still very formidable.
Even without using skills, he could deal 64 points of damage.
The two Goblin Spear Throwers began to scream, but unfortunately never waited for reinforcements.
Instead, the commotion in the mine hall not far off grew bigger.
The clanging of weapons clashing, the scurrying of Spider Web Monsters, the screams of goblins, the whistling of arrows and spears, and the booming of magic were incessant.
It occasionally made the mine tremble slightly, shaking down large swathes of dust.
"Fight, fight, the fiercer the better."
Zong Shen finished off the two Goblin Spear Throwers with a final blow.
He gently shook his sword, flicking off the green blood that stained its blade.
[Killed Level 20 Goblin Spearman ×2]
[Acquired Experience Value 1100 points ×2]
[Acquired Complete Soul ×2]
[Acquired Soldier Enhancement Pearl (Green) ×2]
[Black Iron Spear ×36]
[Healing Guard ×3]
[Basic Agility Book ×1]
The harvest was relatively average, with only one item Zong Shen hadn’t seen before.
[Healing Guard]
[Life Value: 50]
[Duration: 15 seconds]
[Restores life value within a 10-meter radius of all allies at a rate of 2% of life value limit per second]
[Healing Guard can be destroyed, please place it in a safe position]
(A good group recovery item, using it wisely can make your battle easier)
Zong Shen collected all the rewards, the bodies of the two Goblin Spear Throwers fell to the ground, with no option for dismantling.
Their green bodies made Zong Shen abandon further research.
He directly used the Basic Agility Book to increase his Agility to 16 points.
Ahead was the mine hall, which Zong Shen had previously set on fire to the right hall.
Now the fire was out, but two more goblin squads had arrived, enough for the Web Weavers to have their fill.
Zong Shen hoped they would tear each other apart, the more fiercely they fought, the better.
He would then be the fisherman who caught them all in one net!
"Let’s go, keep moving forward."
After eliminating the two Goblin Spear Throwers, it was time to check out the situation in the mine hall.
However, Zong Shen looked back at the way he came, seemingly recalling something.
He took out the Trap Treasure Chest he found in Fierce Bandit Calier’s tent.
He walked back over a hundred meters and placed the chest in the middle of the road.
It was a backhanded move, although the bait and hook were obvious, it was destined to be effective.
No lord could resist the temptation of a treasure chest. If Zong Shen went in and someone came to steal behind him, this Trap Treasure Chest would be enough to give the intruder some trouble.
If no one came, he could retrieve it on his return.
After doing these, Zong Shen walked on, following the Wolf Cavalry to the hall entrance.
The scene was a mess, with the battle between the two sides drawing to a close.
The ground was littered with corpses of Spider Web Monsters and goblins, it looked extremely tragic.
However, in terms of numbers, the Spider Web Monsters hadn’t used their full strength yet.
The two Goblin squads consisted of only twenty-four goblins, including those Zong Shen had taken down.
The scene was clear, with only seven or eight goblins left on their side.
One Goblin Archer, two Goblin Spear Throwers, two Goblin Dual Blade Warriors, one Goblin Shield Warrior, and two Goblin Shaman remained.
They were besieged by twice the number of Spider Web Monsters, with several Spider Web Monster Warriors continuously supplementing from the right passage.
The scene was supported entirely by the two Goblin Shamans, releasing Poisonous Snake Guards occasionally, and using Healing Wave to restore the other goblins’ life values.
However, despite this, defeat was a matter of time.
The Spider Web Monsters hadn’t deployed high-level soldiers, only Little Spider Web Monsters and Spider Web Monster Warriors.
This indicated that the Spider Web Monsters hadn’t used their full strength.
