After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Fear permeated through the suggestions — goblins were weak magical creatures, but the goblin chieftain was not.

With tough skin and powerful attacks, capable of imparting a "frenzy" state on regular goblins, it was a particularly troublesome high-level magical beast.

As the horn sounded, the goblin knights, as if injected with adrenaline, their eyes bursting with bloodthirsty red light, roared and charged forward.

"Kill the damned dwarves, kill the adventurers! Spare no one!"

"The desire to breed, is burning fiercely!"

"Eat my goblin charge!"

Fifteen goblin knights charged together, their hooves thundering across the plain, and behind them, ten goblin soldiers wielding swords and shields rushed toward the dwarves like hungry beasts.

A total of 25 magical creatures of average level 15, this force was enough to terrify any ordinary adventurer squad!

Lin Da's eyes narrowed as he commanded the dwarf warriors, "Everyone, move forward, protect the elderly, women, and children. We must not let the goblin knights get close!"

The leader, Kanto, pulled out a pair of hammers from behind and roared, "Warriors, charge with me!"

With their leader taking the lead, the dwarf warriors finally mustered the courage to charge toward the towering goblin knights.

Lin Da was not idle either; together with Monica, they provided magic support, bombarding the numerous goblins like mobile artillery.

Kafni's Dagger Scatter was a long-range skill, and with the Crescent Dagger enhancement, this scrap deity's output was greatly supplemented,

Each dagger could deal about 400 damage, and three daggers hitting the same target amounted to 1200 damage.

"Venom Magic Sphere, Venom Magic Sphere, Venom Magic Sphere!"

Lin Da pulled out his walnut wood magic sword from his waist, silently reciting the spell.

Three ominous purple magic spheres flew toward the goblin knights.

This spell, weak as it seemed, was not taken seriously by the goblin knights, who focused on avoiding Monica's Earth Spear Spell—the earth mana-formed spears were the real threat, each capable of inflicting substantial damage on them!

However, when the goblin knights were hit by the venom magic spheres, they immediately regretted it.

Their life barriers on their bodies hissed as they were corroded by the venom magic spheres; goblins didn't have a source core but had a demon core instead, these transparent life barriers connected to the demon cores, and as the barriers corroded, it also inflicted damage on their demon cores.

In Lin Da's field of view, three numbers popped out above the goblin knights' heads:

-705, -702, -707!

The venom magic spheres dealt damage six times in total.

The goblin knights had 4000 health points, meaning Lin Da's mere venom magic sphere could completely kill a goblin knight.

When initially hit, those goblin knights could still hop around energetically, swinging their broadswords and causing the dwarf warriors to retreat steadily.

But from the third second, the toxins began to seep into their life barriers, turning these green-skinned creatures' lips purple.

By the fifth second, their health was nearly drained, their eyes darkened, and their broadswords flailed aimlessly.

By the sixth second, the last -700 popped up.

Three arrogant goblins fell off their grassland wolves and died completely from the venom magic spheres.

"Captain, such high damage!"

Monica looked at Lin Da in astonishment; she had to use Earth Bombardment, which took significant effort, to kill a single goblin knight.

Yet the captain easily killed three goblins.

"Monica is also performing very well. In terms of burst ability, the captain is far behind you," Lin Da said as he launched three more venom magic spheres.

His damage was indeed high, but it took six seconds for the goblin knights to die.

Unlike Monica, whose Earth Bombardment instantly vaporized a goblin knight.

After killing another three, Lin Da's system messages popped up continuously:

[Kill Goblin Knight x6, Gain Diamonds 6000!]

Monica also reaped substantial gains.

Alternating between Earth Spear Spell and Earth Bombardment, she eliminated four goblin knights.

Kafni was less impressive, managing to kill only one. However, she successfully used the Stealing Skill to snatch the broadsword from a goblin knight's hand!

The two unfortunate goblin knights suddenly found themselves weaponless, slightly bewildered.

What met them were the dwarves' swords.

With the aid of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, within a short half-minute, the goblin knights were reduced by thirteen, leaving only two.

At that moment, the goblin soldiers arrived, roaring as they clashed blades with the dwarves.

Being of a higher average level than the dwarves, it wasn't long before two dwarves were decapitated, and several others were wounded!

Dwarf Foka was also among the warriors.

At only twenty-eight years old, he was an ordinary level 12 warrior. When he felt the chilling wind behind him and caught a glimpse of the fierce broadsword of the goblin in his peripheral vision, it was already too late.

Foka closed his eyes in despair, gave up resisting, and silently murmured his mother's name...

"Emerald Light Shield!"

Suddenly, a green light sphere fell on Foka.

Outside his fragile life barrier, an emerald-colored light shield appeared.

The goblin soldier's broadsword struck it but not only failed to break through, the hardness of the light shield also caused a tingling pain in his hand, causing him to step back in fear.

What was this shield?

Foka was also stunned for a moment.

He had a hunch that this shield was perhaps even thicker than his life barrier.

Thoughts flashed through his mind in a split second, and Foka gritted his teeth, bravely charging toward the Goblin Soldiers.

Each of his swords steadily struck the Life Barrier of the Goblin Soldiers, shaking their Demon Cores, while the Goblin Soldiers could only helplessly hack at that emerald Light Shield,

Just as the Light Shield was about to shatter, Foka's sword had already pierced through the Goblin Soldier's Life Barrier, stabbing into the latter's chest.

The Level 12 Foka, with the aid of a Light Shield, successfully killed a Level 15 Goblin Soldier!

On the chaotic battlefield, streaks of emerald light fell upon the Dwarf Warriors.

With the enhancement of the Light Shield, the Dwarf Warriors were as if granted an extra life, becoming fearless, and although lower in level than the Goblin Soldiers, they gained the upper hand in the battle!

[Is the Light Shield one of Lin Da's protective skills? It took several hits from a Level 15 Goblin Soldier and didn't break?]

[How thick is this shield exactly?]

[I heard that the Healing Mage is a crappy half-baked profession, but why does it seem so powerful?]

A wave of suggestions flew across the belly of the sensor ladybug.

However, Lin Da didn't have time to look; he needed to ensure the survival of the Dwarf Warriors as much as possible.

Scanning the battlefield, various damage numbers sprung up, dense and disorderly.

Lin Da took out one Skill Point and on the Recovery Series Skill Tree, he chose [Group Healing].

The Walnut Wood Magic Sword, like the conductor of an orchestra, pointed forward, and immediately, white droplets rained down on the Dwarf Warriors.

Group Healing lv1, maximum healing diameter five meters, maximum number of people healed five.

Green numbers sprang from the tops of the Dwarf Warriors' heads:

+400, +401, +405, +398, +402.

Despite the low Recovery Amount of the Group Healing, Lin Da's Magic Points were high.

Together with his Primary Healing Spell, which could recover 600 in one go, this number was almost half the total health points of a Dwarf Warrior.

600 + 400, which equals an instant recovery of 1000.

This resulted in Lin Da being able to keep any focused Dwarf Warrior from dying.

Goblin Soldiers are a type of Magical Creature with relatively high sustained damage, but lacking in burst damage.

As long as the Goblins couldn't instantly break the Verdant Shield and shatter the Dwarf's Life Barrier, Lin Da could always bring the Dwarf back from the brink.

It could be said that under Lin Da's watch, it was hard for the Dwarf Warriors to die!

"Adventurer, the chieftain acknowledges your strength,"

Suddenly, a rough and hoarse voice came from a distance.

Even separated by a hundred meters, it still caused all present, including Lin Da, to feel pain in their eardrums.

The remaining Goblin Soldiers all retreated, kneeling on the ground in reverence.

Thump thump.

Heavy footsteps approached.

The Goblin Chieftain had a necklace of human skulls around his neck, neatly arranged eight-pack abs at his waist, and his thighs were thick and muscular.

With each step, like a giant beast shaking the ground, a terrifying aura along with a nauseating body odor rushed forward.

Under this frightening pressure, many Dwarf Warriors turned pale and trembled, unable to even hold their swords.

Lin Da shouted sternly, "All Dwarves, fall back!"

Even with the support of the Verdant Shield, the Dwarves would be killed by a swing of the Goblin Chieftain's Wolf Fang Club.

The Goblin Chieftain was only Level 15, the same level as the common Goblin Soldiers, but...Magical Creatures have a hierarchy within their race.

The attributes of the Goblin Chieftain completely crushed the latter's.

Goblin Soldiers and Goblin Knights generally fall into the category of mid-level Magical Beasts, corresponding to Blue Rare equipment quality.

They can also be referred to as Rare Magical Beasts.

As for the Goblin Chieftain, he belongs to the Purple Rare Level, coupled with the bonus of being a hidden and boss Magical Creature...

In Lin Da's mind, he recalled the disgusting health points of the Autumn Goblin Chieftain: 30,000 points.

The combined health points of ten Goblin Soldiers were not even as much as that of the Goblin Chieftain!

The pressure exerted by this Magical Creature made even adventurers outside the screen shudder, and Aiko, along with others close to Lin Da, all showed nervous expressions.

The three members of the Phoenix Tail Flower took the forefront.

In front of the three-meter-tall Goblin Chieftain, they appeared tiny like ants, having to look up at the Magical Creature.

The Goblin Chieftain's arms were even bigger than Monica's entire person!

A fishy stench hit their faces, and within the large green mouth, sharp teeth held remnants of some meaty bits.

Monica, frightened, hid behind Lin Da.

But this time, Lin Da's gaze was stern as he scolded, "Don't be afraid, remember what you trained for, a mere Goblin Chieftain is no match for Phoenix Tail Flower!"

"Yes, Captain Lord...!" Even though Monica was extremely frightened, she still timidly came out from behind Lin Da.

The girl took a deep breath, clenched her Magic Wand tightly, and aimed it at the Goblin Chieftain.

"Adventurers, the chieftain has a proposal,"

"If you leave now, the chieftain will gift you a rare item."

With a sinister smile, the Goblin Chieftain pulled out the massive Wolf Fang Club from behind and swung it, the air pressure stunning, "This deal should be quite worthwhile, right?"
