Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 25: The smell of weakness

Views:

The goblins have an absolute advantage in numbers. All they can smell from Yang Yu is the scent of weakness. To deal with such an overconfident person, they don't need any skills at all. They just need to attack him, and with one hammer and one stick, he will fall in a pool of blood, unable to get up again.

"It's time! [Ice Cone]."

When the goblins got close enough, Yang Yu issued an order, and Bai Jin, who was hiding in the dark, cast [Ice Cone Technique]. White snowflakes fluttered in the air, causing damage while greatly slowing down the goblins' advance.

Yang Yu did not retreat but advanced, picked up his short sword and attacked forward, slashing towards the place where there were many goblins.

The goblins took this opportunity to rush forward. The attack did not slow down Yang Yu's movements. Everything was smoother than it looked. He waved his arm and blocked a goblin with his shield, opening up a path in the encirclement, allowing the goblins surrounding him to come into close face contact.

More goblins with guns came over, but Yang Yu was not in a hurry. This battle had completely entered his rhythm. He took in every tiny movement of the goblins in his field of vision. He did not dodge as much as possible, but tried to leave room for maneuver as much as possible to increase his tolerance rate.

When Sekamens saw this scene, he didn't know what to say. If he had previously held the hope that Yang Yu had defeated him by trickery, now he was completely impressed by Yang Yu's operation.

It was just like the first time they fought, as if everything had already been calculated by this seemingly ordinary boy.

"If it were him, he might really be able to defeat this group of goblins by himself." Secamens said his true feelings unwillingly. His companions beside him all agreed and enjoyed watching Yang Yu dancing among the group of goblins.

"What are you dreaming about!" Yang Yu smiled, but in his heart, "Don't just stand there waiting, come over and help me finish off the enemy once you've recovered enough! I can hold off the enemy by myself, but I can't win!"

This is all the truth.

In order to stick to the defensive route, Yang Yu basically added all his free attribute points to durability, and only increased his speed a little to facilitate positioning. As for the attacking side, he basically adopted a strategy of letting it grow freely. Although he had some investment, it was not much, which resulted in his low output.

With a forward slash, some goblins with good endurance stood up as if nothing had happened. Sometimes it was not that Yang Yu did not want to make the final blow, but that his attack power was too low.

If this goes on, even if Yang Yu can hold back the goblins, he will not be able to cause too much damage to the goblins, and the goblins will exhaust his strength and make him fall down, leaving him at the mercy of the goblins.

Fortunately, after Yang Yu's reminder, the Sekamens team who were watching the show on the side suddenly realized this problem. Regardless of their fatigue, they joined the battle and worked tirelessly to finish off the enemy and take revenge.

Then, Yang Yu was robbed again and again.

Whenever Yang Yu saw a goblin that could be killed with his own attacks, there would always be someone who would kill it quietly.

At first, Yang Yu was able to gain some shared experience through Bai Jin's last hits, but later, with Bai Jin's cough, her aim became unstable and she almost hit Yang Yu a few times. Turning around, Yang Yu saw Bai Jin's pale face and asked her to rest aside.

The uncontrollable factor of the sickness and weakness attribute is really troublesome. Yang Yu secretly decided that after this big task is completed, he will immediately start an investigation to remove the sickness and weakness attribute for Bai Jin, so that she can grow quickly and become the backbone of the team. Then he can also paddle well and shout 666 like He Meng who is paddling on the side, and reward himself for a while.

The battle was gradually coming to an end. After killing the last goblin, the sweaty Sekames combed his golden hair and became handsome again. His partners Tiebi and Qi sat on the ground powerlessly, gasping for breath, while Rococo supported her body with the priest's staff. She would not abandon her image as a lady unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" Although there had been some conflicts before, Yang Yu's selfless act of saving them from danger was enough for Sekamens to put aside their past grudges and shake hands with him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yu ignored the hand extended by Sekamens, walked up to Rococo, and said in a very gentle tone: "My lovely lady, are you okay? You are already fine. If you want to ask why, it's because we are here."

Rococo blinked, not knowing what was going on.

But soon Yang Yu adjusted his target and pointed it at Sekamens.

"How can you be a captain? Don't you know that the best way to deal with a pair of goblins is to run away? As long as you run out of this forest, there will be a lot of adventurers to help you. Why do you still force yourself to fight? It was because you forced her to fight that you almost got wiped out."

When everyone heard Yang Yu say some familiar words in a pretentious tone, they were immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This guy is still holding a grudge against Secamens for forcibly accusing him.

"Now you can understand the feeling of being ignored and forcibly accused, right?" Yang Yu smiled at Sekamens.

Scratching his cheek, Secamens said a little embarrassedly: "I do understand a little bit."

"Well, my goal has been achieved. Please remember this lesson." After laughing with everyone for a while, Yang Yu restrained his smile and suddenly became serious, "Let's not talk nonsense anymore. I'll get straight to the point. You escaped from the Goblin base, right?"

"Right, right, right!" Before Secamens could answer, Qi, who looked exhausted, answered the question first. "Fortunately, I was more careful and stole their key before they locked me in. That way, I was able to escape from there in the middle of the night."

"That's right. We just didn't communicate with each other and make a good plan beforehand, so we were discovered by the goblins, who have been chasing us since evening until now," added Secamens.

"After all, the other side is watching closely. If you talk nonsense, they will hit you on the head with a stick. And if you make too much noise, the goblins will take you to an unknown place." Perhaps because he felt relaxed, Qi yawned loudly.

"Where will you be taken?" Yang Yu asked.

Qi shook his head. "I don't know about that. What I know is that no one came back after being taken away. God knows what those goblins did to them."

Unlike Qi who looked relaxed, Secamens looked serious and said, "It's probably not a good thing. The cages that hold me and Tiebi are somewhat different from the cages that hold Rococo and Qi. There is a small red flag hanging on the upper left corner of our cages. Also, just yesterday at noon, I smelled a bloody smell in the air, and it was not the smell of any animal's blood."

Having said that, perhaps out of consideration for Rococo’s gradually pale face, Secamens stopped talking.

But basically everyone knows what happened.
