Goblin Dependency Chapter 260 - 140 Gravity Core

Voom——

The air current roared into his ears, the eardrums trembling with a buzzing sound.

In high-speed motion, the air felt thick and sluggish like a quagmire, with the rain-soaked black hair clinging to his forehead, the skin surface was lightly pricked by the falling raindrops.

The forest, adow, and the sky shrouded with distant dark clouds, rapidly receded to the rear on both sides, stretching into blurred bands of green, gray, and black in sight.

This was [Teeth Hunting], an exaggerated speed that seed to teleport to ordinary people, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Sothing he was long accustod to.

Countless practices, raising the Skill Level to lv3.

Allowed Xia Nan to gradually adapt to this state, as if the whole world was frozen still.

A highly focused attention, and agility at "7", enabled him to unconsciously ignore irrelevant surroundings and focus all his mind on the enemy.

Even though the rest of the view, due to his high-speed movent, turned into chaotic and aningless color blocks, and his ears were filled with the rushing sound of air.

The burly and robust figure of the Bear Goblin, even the swelling and twitching of muscles under the skin, and the swaying red mane at its back, were seen clearly by Xia Nan.

In fact, clearer due to the exclusion of other influences.

Approaching.

The stagnant stench of long dwelling in underground lairs poured into his nostrils with each breath.

In an instant grasping the distance, slightly decelerating, twisting his wrist, the Beheading Longsword that had been trailing backward with his body, drew a steel-gray arc in the air.

"Shhhh!"

Blood spattered.

A gashing wound appeared on the furry back of the Bear Goblin, blood and flesh exposed.

Unlike previous probing attacks and retreats, this wound was deep enough to make Red Mane roar in pain.

The body turned, ready to smash its rock-splitting fist down on Xia Nan.

But it just twisted its waist without lifting its arm yet.

The black-haired figure swiftly retreated with a wolfish howl, escaping the attack range.

If it were earlier, Red Mane might not have cared and chased straight after.

Its robust physical constitution allowed it much room for error beyond Xia Nan’s.

It could be slashed countless tis, but if the opponent slipped once and got punched, they wouldn’t be dodging so annoyingly anymore.

But now, the air-breaking sound coming from its side as it half turned forced it to stay put, raising its left arm to block.

"Bang."

The single-handed hamr, glinting tal, lightly struck the Bear Goblin’s hand with a dull thud as harassnt.

Blood still stained Adeline’s armor from her earlier spitting, but she had regained mobility and joined the fight.

Compared to Xia Nan, with [Teeth Hunting] for multiple short-term displacents, she had no charging Battle Skills.

But her good Constitution allowed her to close in, engaging the Bear Goblin and drawing aggro for a few rounds for her team.

Yet, if as now, retreating from the Bear Goblin’s storm-like fierce attacks, seemingly about to collapse.

The familiar and prolonged howl would sound again from Red Mane’s blind spot.

"Roar!!!"

The tacit tag-team between Xia Nan and Adeline seems to infuriate the Bear Goblin greatly.

A roar sent waves in the rain, its sturdy arms swung like whips, forcing them back.

Adeline had already retreated a few steps under Xia Nan’s cover, easily avoiding the attack;

And Xia Nan himself also made a sudden stop, and once again used [Teeth Hunting] to retreat.

In a breath, a round had ended.

Eyes fixed on the Bear Goblin not far ahead, Xia Nan panted to recover his strength.

Frequent use of Battle Skills in high-intensity combat had already started straining his legs and waist, the feeling of soreness and numbness spreading deep in the muscles.

Still within bearable limits.

In so sense, he was now much more relaxed than before.

The help of Adeline was more than just "1 1=2".

In their level of combat, the pressure between "one-on-one" and "one-on-two" was worlds apart.

Sharing aggro with a teammate allowed Xia Nan to not put all his focus on dodging, letting him attack slightly more boldly for greater harm.

They looked out for each other, and even if one was in distress, the other could tily support.

A quick glance towards Adeline showed she was in good condition, which relieved him a bit.

Unexpectedly, with Abi’s help, a whole bottle of Healing Potion was poured into Adeline, not only healing her body, restoring most of her combat strength.

Even her ntal state seed healed, from being anxious to calm, becoming again the most reliable leader facing the goblins.

Not rushing, mainly supporting and harassing, helping Xia Nan leave scars on the Bear Goblin.

The scales of victory seed to slightly tip in their favor.

But Xia Nan remained vigilant.

Having seen this Bear Goblin smash defenses single-handedly, seriously injuring Adeline, whose strength was close to Professional Level, and easily slaughtering Berg.
