Chapter 35 The First-Try Edge
“Why did they come down?”
On the roof of the truck, Lin Xiaokui, who was constantly assisting with her shooting, could not help but frown when she saw Lu Jin and the others get off the truck.
Currently, there were close to 300 Goblins. Although that number was still within the tolerance range of the convoy, they had no time to care about anything else. In order to prevent the Goblins from approaching the truck, she had given up on shooting accurately at the Goblins’ weak spot on their heads. She switched to rapid-fire-shooting to deal damage.
The monsters in Fantasy World were very similar to real creatures. If their bodies were heavily injured, it would affect their mobility and would greatly reduce their combat power.
The ancient bow she used was an extremely rare top-grade Rare weapon. Its attack rating had reached Rank ‘B’, and it also had the ability to damage and worsen the damage of the injured target.
As long as it hit the target, even if it was just an arm, it could easily cripple that monster’s arm. With a Rank ‘B’ attack power, it only needed two arrows to kill a Level 12 Goblin.
Now that Lu Jin had come down, he was definitely causing trouble for them.
The monsters of Fantasy World instinctively liked to attack players. As long as the players appeared, they would definitely attack.
Su Tongwei and the Guardians had attracted many Goblins, but there would still be other Goblins who would attack other players.
The appearance of Lu Jin and his bodyguards would definitely attract the attention of many Goblins, which would force Su Tongwei and the rest to divert their attention to protect them. That would definitely cause the speed of clearing the Goblins to decrease further.
“Brother Wang, Lu Jin is coming down.” The lean youth was excited as he fought against two Goblins.
After Wang Zhonghu killed a Goblin with one slash, he glanced at Lu Jin and the rest who got out of the truck from the corner of his eyes. He sneered. “Finally, they couldn’t sit still anymore. But even if they came down to fight together, nothing will change. This time, we will let Xia Qingyao know that without the support of the four families, she can’t achieve anything!”
Wang Zhonghu was well aware of Lu Jin’s strength. In terms of his combat skills and physical potential, he was indeed strong.
However, it was a pity that when facing monsters, the player’s level was most important. Moreover, Level 10 was also a huge barrier to the monsters of Fantasy World. It was just like how the players increased their levels. After a monster broke through Level 10, its basic stats would also undergo a qualitative change. If a Level 10 player wanted to fight a Level 12 monster, it was no different from fighting a Boss.
The only useful ones were the two bodyguards, but they only increased their combat power by two. They were not worth mentioning given that there were less than 20 people fighting desperately.
Su Tongwei, who was among the mass of Goblins, noticed Lu Jin and the rest. She was anxious.
That was simply causing trouble!
After Lu Jin and the two bodyguards got off the truck, more than 10 Goblins, who were originally surrounding Su Tongwei and the rest, charged at Lu Jin and the bodyguards with swords.
Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan rushed forward at that sight.
Xu Xiaotian held the superior Magical Shield of Wind Scales and charged at the dozen Goblins. He knocked six Goblins away. Then, he swept the Shield of Wind Scales and the three Goblins that were slashing at him flew three meters away, like giant bears.
Tang Yan appeared behind two Goblins with her rifle in hand. The two Goblins had no idea that she was behind them. They were about to ambush Xu Xiaotian, but Tang Yan swept her rifle across their necks and defeated them.
“The stats of those two people are so strong!”
Lin Xiaokui, who was on the roof of the truck, was shocked when she saw more than 10 Goblins being scattered.
In Regional Dungeons, not only were the players’ AR and Adventurer levels suppressed, but the players’ basic stats were also suppressed to Rank ‘E’.
Of course, that kind of suppression was only reflected in the damage dealt to the electronic monsters. The strength of the body itself would not decrease at all, so the sensitivity and the Neural Reaction of the body would still be preserved. It could also be considered a hidden benefit for high-level players.
However, the fact that Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan were able to defeat the Goblins so easily meant that they had great physical potential. The power of the Rank ‘E’ Soldier Class was especially strong because they had not broken through the Soldier Class.
However, there were too many Goblins. The dozens of Goblins might not be able to overthrow Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan, but soon, another twenty-odd Goblins surrounded them and held them back. Then, seven Goblins bypassed them and sneered as they charged at Lu Jin, who was standing at the back.
“This is not good! Seven of them attacking together!”
When Lin Xiaokui saw that, she immediately shot three arrows.
It had to be said that Lin Xiaokui’s Triple-Star Moon Chasing Archery Skill was very powerful. She accurately hit three Goblins, causing them to stop in their tracks.
However, there were still four Goblins who were aiming their daggers and swords at Lu Jin.
“Run back to the truck!” Lin Xiaokui shouted anxiously.
With four Level 12 Goblins ganging up on him, Lu Jin, a Level 10 player, would definitely be taken down in one go. That was regardless of the fact that he had previously defeated Wang Zhonghu at the banquet.
With the stats-suppression brought by his level, even though Lu Jin had the basic stats of a Junior Adventurer, he still could not fight head-on with a Level 12 Goblin, let alone four.
However, Lu Jin seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Lin Xiaokui’s loud reminder. He drew out the Sword of Lake Light from his waist and slowly walked toward the four Goblins that were charging at him.
When the four Goblins were less than a meter away from Lu Jin, he suddenly swung the Sword of Lake Light.
Basic Sword Aurora!
In the blink of an eye, four sword gleams spread out from the front of Lu Jin’s body and slowly dissipated in mid-air. The four Goblins seemed to have been rooted to the ground. “This…” Lin Xiaokui looked at the four motionless Goblins and was puzzled.
Two seconds later, the four Goblins’ bodies split in the middle, and their memory fragments were completely depleted. Two memory crystals appeared.
That scene made Su Tongwei, who was being pestered by the Goblins, widen her eyes in disbelief. She could not believe that it was real.
“Impossible!”
“How could he have such power!”
Naturally, Wang Zhonghu had been watching all of that. He was dumbfounded as he watched Lu Jin defeat the four Goblins.
Goblins were very weak and had a very low reserve of memory fragments. As long as a player of the same level had a superior Rare weapon, they could kill the Goblin in one move.
However, the prerequisite was that the player had to be Level 12.
It was impossible for a Level 10 player to do that, and not to mention, Lu Jin had not even hit the Goblins’ vital spot…
After defeating the four Goblins, a system notification appeared in the corner of Lu Jin’s eyes.
System: Player’s EXP bar +2.
System: Player’s EXP bar +2.
System: Player’s EXP bar +2.
System: Player’s EXP bar +2.
“Goblins are indeed weak. Defeating those above your level only gives you two EXP.” Lu Jin looked at the total amount of EXP he needed to level up, which was 10,000 EXP. He was still 9,992 points short. He could not help but sigh and shifted his gaze to the distant army of Goblins. Soon, he saw a Goblin who was dressed in tattered clothes and was shouting from time to time. “Is that it?”
The Goblins’ Regional Dungeons were famous for their numbers. The endless armies of Goblins was enough to tire any team to death before they saw the final Regional Boss. In order to break through the Goblin army, they had to find the Goblin army commander.
Only by defeating the commander would the Goblin army be in chaos. The efficiency of besieging the players would also decrease greatly. It would even be difficult for them to form a siege formation, which would make it easier for the players to defeat the Goblins.
However, that commander was extremely difficult to find. Without a lot of experience in clearing Goblins’ Regional Dungeons, it was impossible to judge.
After Lu Jin used his Data Scanning feature, he confirmed the Goblin commander who was mixed in the army. He got into his stance and attacked with the Sword of Lake Light.
Lu Jin seemed to have turned into a gust of wind that blew all the Goblins in his path to the side, forcing the army of hundreds of Goblins into two groups.
By the time everyone realized what was going on, Lu Jin had already pierced through a Goblin that was in tattered clothes with the Sword of Lake Light. The Goblin slowly dissipated as it struggled, and the entire Goblin army’s movements stopped at that moment as they all looked at Lu Jin.
“Who exactly is he?”
Su Tongwei looked at Lu Jin, who was standing in the middle of the Goblin army. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
It was just a slash. How much strength and agility did it require to create such a shocking scene?
