The number of elite assassination goblins was extremely small, but they caused great trouble to the rescue team.
These little guys are extremely agile and if you are not careful they can easily take advantage of you and stab you in the kidney.
Everyone was trying to be careful to avoid repeating the same mistake, but things soon took a turn for the better.
It all started with the fall of the first elite assassination goblin.
With a scream, the elite assassination goblin who was facing Yang Yu fell to the ground and stopped moving.
In the rescue team, the elite assassination goblin was moving around freely and killing people in all directions. They were surprised to see that the elite assassination goblin they sent out was killed instantly.
How... How is this possible? Why, he was not the one who fell. It had only been three minutes since the battle began. Even if he really was going to win, it wouldn't be so fast.
Our elite assassination goblin is extremely agile, and should not have been killed by such an insignificant character. We should not have been killed by such a small character who exudes the aura of weakness. It should be that small character who screams miserably and falls in a pool of blood. Why are we the ones who fall
Everything that happened in reality was exactly the opposite of what the goblin thought.
How did he do it? Was he hiding his strength? No, our elite assassination goblins have very sharp intuition, much better than ordinary goblins. Even if the opponent hides his strength, we can see it. Now we can sense only one strong person in this team, and that is the only one.
In the goblin's opinion, Yang Yu's strength can only be considered below average in this team, and his attack power is extremely weak. He is like a walking sandbag and is not worth mentioning at all.
No matter what, they had no way of accepting this fact and tried their best to convince themselves in their minds.
By the way, this guy was extremely lucky. He just relied on luck to attack randomly and accidentally defeated it.
The elite assassination goblin came to this conclusion at almost the same time.
Only this kind of conclusion could convince themself. At the moment when the goblins succeeded in convincing themselves and felt relieved, they revealed their flaws.
Androno seized the opportunity, clamped the heads of two goblins with his left and right hands, and broke their necks. Other adventurers also waved their weapons and severely injured the elite assassination goblins.
The situation reversed in an instant, and in a short while, the elite assassination goblins fell one by one, unable to get up again.
After this battle, Anderno looked at Yang Yu with a new respect and secretly sighed: "This young man is not simple. He has been walking at the back of the team. Is he always on guard against such things?"
Secamens was even more surprised and was also filled with admiration in his heart.
"Who on earth is he? Has he actually calculated this far? Has he already secretly predicted that the other party would send assassins to assassinate us? The way he fought just now was very skillful. He used his body to block the attack and then immediately counterattacked. This kind of awareness is not something that ordinary people can do. If it were me, I would definitely be exhausted from parrying and would not find a chance to counterattack, but he did not hesitate at all."
Looking at the corpses of elite assassinated goblins all over the ground, Yang Yu was filled with melancholy.
Aren't you NPCs too reliable? How come in the blink of an eye, not a single elite goblin is left
After killing an elite assassination goblin, Yang Yu's experience bar increased significantly. He thought that as long as he killed one or two more, he could reach level 20. However, in the blink of an eye, all the experience points he had gained were gone. He even activated [Sudden Killing Intent], intending to use his speed to kill everyone, but now he could only stare blankly and wait for the skill effect to wear off.
The riot passed quickly and the rescue team returned to calm. Thanks to Yang Yu's timely response, the number of injured was less than expected, but there were still deaths. However, time did not allow them to be overly sad or retreat. When they stepped into the forest, all the retreat routes had been cut off.
Even if there was help, no one knew when it would arrive. The other side was so fast that perhaps by the time the rescue team arrived, they would have already become fertilizer for the forest.
Instead of regretting, it is better to think about how to defeat the boss behind the scenes hidden deep in the forest and find a way to survive.
After Androno gave them a long speech, the whole team regrouped and set out again.
The closer they got to the Goblin base, the more nervous everyone on the scene became, but no one backed down. Occasionally, there would be a group of Goblins attacking on the road, but they alone were no longer able to stop this team full of fighting spirit.
"Report, there are places with magic wards ahead. We have circled around but haven't found any place to bypass them." Several magicians carefully explored the dense forest and came to this conclusion.
These eyes created by magic are very tiny and can only be discovered by careful exploration.
If before they had only detected a small boat floating in the sea, what they detected now were schools of sardines in the sea. After detecting it, several magicians with trypophobia immediately rolled their eyes and fainted.
This place is under strict surveillance, and anyone passing by here will be discovered instantly.
Androno was planning to go straight through, but Yang Yu grabbed Androno and whispered something in his ear, asking him to destroy the eyes before moving forward.
"Destroy them and tell them. We are coming! Take your positions and be ready to fight at any time." Showing his strong muscles, Androno made the decision.
His high-spirited look greatly encouraged the rescue team. For the first time, the fate of the world was closely linked to them, and they must not relax at this moment.
Yang Yu also took a deep breath following the crowd. After walking for such a long time, the group was finally about to start.
His experience bar at level 19 was just a little bit away from being full. If it weren't for the NPCs' ability to steal monsters along the way, he would have probably reached level 25 long ago. At this point, there was no way to increase his level any further.
Although he had communicated with Andernuo and asked him to fight with him and then quickly admit defeat, Andernuo thought that Yang Yu wanted to test his strength, so he asked Yang Yu to go home and stand still.
There is no way around it, so the upgrade was left unresolved.
Now, the BOSS fight is about to begin. To be honest, there is not much difference between level 19 and level 20. He has decided to make the final move depending on the situation and not participate in the clash between ordinary adventurers and the goblin army.
On the one hand, it was because ordinary adventurers were too good at stealing monsters, and fighting small monsters was completely a thankless task. On the other hand, according to the nature of the system, if it wasn't for his team killing the BOSS, he probably wouldn't even get a drink of soup.
Therefore, he naturally had to reserve a lot of energy to deal with the boss and complete the legendary mission of defeating the source.
Even if he couldn't accomplish it, he was ready to retreat. Having the rescue team spend some effort to destroy the eye on the tree was also a preparation for this.
