Chapter 4: Well done Goblin!
Gu An sat on a stone chair, always keeping an eye on the movements of Tia and others.
Seeing the goblin succeed, the three-person adventure group dispersed. He smiled with satisfaction. Everything was going according to plan.
Continuing to observe, Tia and the other two had already run into the third passage, where were the gifts he had prepared in advance.
In the third channel——
"Mana, don't be impulsive. The dark cave is very dangerous. Come back quickly!" Tia called out loudly. As a magician, her physical fitness was very poor and she could not catch up with Mana's pace at all.
Although Ibe was full of energy, he did not dare to wander in the deep and dark tunnel. He could only follow Tia at all times to ensure his own safety.
As for that stupid brother, it doesn’t matter at all. In her heart, her own safety is the most important thing.
Mana also heard Tia's call, but did not slow down: "Don't worry, Sister Tia, it's just a goblin, I can handle it alone!"
Just a goblin, no threat at all.
He was determined to take the lead and kill a few monsters first, so that Ibe and Tia could see that he was already a qualified adventurer!
Mana has a high agility value and his speed is far beyond the reach of primary goblins. Although he left Tia and Ibe behind with his strenuous pursuit, he soon caught up with the group of ugly goblins in front of him.
"Monster, how dare you throw dirty water on me!"
The cave was extremely dark, and without the light of torches, human vision was greatly hindered. Although Mana had caught up with the goblin, he failed to hit it after swinging his sword several times.
Gu An, who was far away in the depths of the cave, saw such operations and formed an idea of this swordsman in his mind.
"Although his basic stats are good, he is an impulsive brat."
Temperamental, impulsive, angry, a complete new person.
However, these inconspicuous factors are fatal to adventurers, but at the same time they are the best tools for Gu An.
He is the only male among the three-person adventure team, so he must be dealt with first.
This will allow the Goblin to trigger a huge increase in combat against the opposite sex.
"Hahaha!" the goblin laughed.
This made Mana a little angry and embarrassed. How could a mere goblin dare to be so arrogant!
He took a deep breath, and suddenly released all his strength. He held the sword with both hands and launched a swift charge. Although his unstoppable movements were a little immature, if it hit a junior goblin, it should kill it instantly.
"Jie Jie, Jie Jie!"
Faced with Mana's fierce charge, the goblins not only did not dodge, but instead stood not far away and made provocative gestures.
Mana charged forward bravely, and when he heard the goblin stop, he was secretly happy.
What a stupid creature indeed, standing still is simply seeking death!
However, just as Mana was celebrating, he suddenly felt that he was stepping on empty air, his body instantly lost balance and tilted, and then fell rapidly.
The sharp bamboos deep in the pit were extremely sharp. Fortunately, he reacted in time and inserted his sword into the wall in advance as a buffer, so that the bamboo thorns only pierced his legs and feet instead of piercing his chest.
Although his life was temporarily safe, the situation was not optimistic.
Mana's legs had been pierced by the bamboo thorns, and blood spurted out like an out-of-control sluice gate. The intense pain ran through his body, piercing his heart and bones, causing him to scream miserably.
Gu An witnessed everything and exclaimed in admiration.
"Well done Goblin!"
The situation was exactly as he expected. The seduction of the junior goblin was very successful and the trap worked perfectly.
Without the vanguard, the performance of archers and magicians will be greatly restricted, and the subsequent battle will be much easier.
Ibe also heard his brother's screams.
She stopped suddenly, listening to the miserable screams, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes filled with fear.
What's going on? Mana, what happened to him?
It was obviously just a goblin, the lowest level monster. It should have been easy to kill. How could something happen to Mana?
Ibe, who had never participated in a formal adventure, was very frightened when faced with the sudden situation and had no idea how to deal with it.
Compared to Ibe, Tia is much more mature. After receiving the news that Mana was in trouble, she immediately became alert and raised the wand in her hand.
"Ibe, ready your bow and arrow. At the same time, be on guard against the goblins getting close to you, and be ready to switch to the dagger at any time." Tia gave the orders without stopping the movements of her hands. She quickly recited the spell to guide the magic.
"Merciful goddess, please drive away the darkness for us!"
Powerful magic power gathered at the top of the wand. When the spell was finished, a strong beam of light suddenly appeared, immediately lighting up the surroundings.
Tia has limited magic power and can only cast six spells a day, and each spell is extremely precious. If Mana hadn't acted impulsively, she would definitely not have cast magic so hastily.
The situation is critical now. Without the vanguard, the goblins may launch a close attack at any time. We must open up the field of vision for the archers!
Once Tia enters the battle, she becomes mature and steady, which is very different from her shy and introverted personality in daily life.
Ibe finally came to his senses after hearing Tia's voice. He hurriedly pulled the bowstring and nocked the arrow with trembling hands.
"Sister Tia, if this doesn't work, let's retreat first!"
Mana's sudden accident made Ibe very scared. He wanted to give up and even abandon his own brother.
The real adventure far exceeded Ibe's expectations.
The gentle Tia couldn't help but scold: "How can you abandon Mana? He's just a goblin. Even two people can handle it if they are careful!"
She came to help the two of them on their adventure as a senior. Once she accepted the commission, she had to take responsibility and definitely could not abandon anyone easily.
Tia refused to leave, and Ibe didn't dare to leave the team alone, so he could only follow behind.
They moved forward along the road vigilantly, and under the light emitted by the magic wand, they found that a large pit had appeared in the tunnel.
In the big pit, Mana tried his best to climb out. Tia and Ibe immediately stepped forward, helped him up and leaned him against the rock wall.
"Poison... I'm poisoned..." Mana pointed at the sharp bamboo in the pit with his dying breath.
This was a gift specially prepared by Gu An. When making the trap, he added goblin excrement.
That thing becomes an extremely dangerous toxin once it comes into contact with human wounds.
"how so?!"
Seeing the big pit, Tia realized that Mana was not injured by the goblins, but fell into a trap.
But goblins are obviously low-level and stupid monsters. When did they learn how to set traps?
Even Tina, who had been on many adventures, was caught off guard by this situation.
"It's all your fault, you idiot. Why did you suddenly run away alone!" When Ibe saw the seriously injured Mana, not only did he not comfort or care about him, but he also accused and complained about him.
This loser! He always claims to be the most powerful swordsman, but he even fell for such a simple trap!
Ibe was very annoyed.
"Now is not the time to complain. My healing magic cannot remove the poison. I must bring Mana back to town as soon as possible."
Tia knew that now was not the time for internal strife, and that she had to treat Mana's injuries as soon as possible and then return to the town to detoxify.
It was clearly just a campaign to subjugate the goblin nest, but such a mistake actually happened. Tia felt a little regretful and self-blame in her heart.
She once again cast her precious magic, and a radiant green light emerged from her wand, healing the severely injured Mana.
However, how could Gu An allow such a thing to happen?
When he saw this scene from deep in the cave, he couldn't help but smile with a look of success.
"This is the time we've been waiting for."
Gu An had already notified all the goblins to gather at Channel No. 3, just to wait for Tia to cast her healing magic, the most unprepared moment.
Seeing the green light emanating from the magic wand, Gu An immediately gave a remote command: "Goblins, take action and capture the Saint!"
As the order was issued, all the hidden goblins appeared and immediately surrounded Tia and the others.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
