Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 13 Encountering Goblins Again

In the jungle, a team of eight people walks.

At the front of the group, a man with a dog led the way.

It was Chen Hao's team.

Beside him was Li Laoshi, wielding a machete-like "Tiger Saber," diligently hacking away at the thorns and vines blocking his path.

When Li Laoshi got tired of chopping, Zhao Long took over.

The two men were responsible for clearing the way, while Chen Hao was responsible for scouting the situation ahead.

He was the strongest in the team, so naturally he couldn't do such a thing; he had to save his energy for dealing with all sorts of dangerous beasts.

The others were responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Report any movement to Chen Hao immediately.

Suddenly, before anyone else noticed anything amiss, Xiaotian, who was next to Chen Hao, suddenly called out twice in one direction.

"Woof woof woof," the dog's barking immediately startled the creatures in the bushes.

A rustling sound came, and a green snake slithered away.

Judging by its emerald green body and triangular head, it's clearly a venomous snake.

"Well done."

Chen Hao patted Xiaotian's head with satisfaction.

Xiaotian rubbed his hand against Chen Hao's a few times.

"Brother Chen, it's done."

As Zhao Long spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A passage appeared before him, with thorns and vine fragments scattered around.

"Okay, let's continue."

After speaking, Chen Hao took the lead and walked through the passage, with the others following closely behind.

Beyond the passage, the trees were still lush, but there were far fewer thorns and vines, making the path much easier to walk on.

Along the way, small animals would occasionally pass by, and when they encountered Chen Hao and his group, they would run away in fright.

Xiaotian wanted to give chase, but Chen Hao stopped him.

"Don't waste your energy on such small prey."

The group walked through the jungle in silence, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings with tension.

After walking about fifty meters, Luo Hai, who was in charge of observing the situation on the right, suddenly whispered, "Brother Chen, something's up."

"What's going on?"

Chen Hao walked over, and Li Laoshi automatically took his place, keeping watch in front of him.

"Look, there are bushes moving over there. Judging by their size, they shouldn't be very big, but there should be quite a few of them."

Following the direction Luo Hai pointed, Chen Hao indeed saw a patch of trembling bushes not far away.

Just then, Xiaotian seemed to smell something and bared his teeth at it.

It tried to bark, but Chen Hao held its hand firmly. "Quiet."

"Waaah," Xiaotian whimpered pitifully before obediently shutting his mouth.

Then, Chen Hao tossed the Fang Blade in his hand to Luo Hai beside him, took the Green Python Bow from behind his back, and nocked an arrow.

Then just wait quietly.

Waiting for the animal in the bushes to appear.

After waiting for eight seconds, the other party finally showed up.

The appearance of the creatures made Chen Hao realize, "So it was them."

Luo Hai, standing beside him, couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"It's not some kind of monster, it's a goblin."

Chen Hao explained it to him.

After saying that, he released his grip on the bowstring, and the arrow on the bowstring flew out like a streak of light, hitting the green goblin directly.

Then it passes through the opponent's body and continues forward, successively passing through several goblins behind it.

A "waaaaaa" sound suddenly appeared.

It was the goblins making that noise.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a 1-star common creature—the Forest Goblin—and obtained a 1-star card.]

This notification sound appeared several times in a row.

Chen Hao ignored him, picked up the Green Python Bow again, and took the Fang Blade back from Luo Hai.

"Li Laoshi, Zhao Long, Liu Zhan, come with me and charge in."

"Everyone else, stay where you are and keep watch on your surroundings."

Chen Hao quickly gave the orders, and then charged forward with his knife.

Without saying a word, Li Laoshi also picked up his knife and followed.

Zhao Long and Liu Zhan exchanged a glance, both seeing tension and excitement in each other's eyes.

Then, gritting their teeth, the two of them chased after it as well.

The three men Chen Hao selected were all armed.

Moreover, the goblins they were facing were not very strong. If they didn't dare to make a move, Chen Hao would have eliminated them immediately.

Chen Hao, who was at the forefront, had already appeared next to the goblin's corpse that he had shot dead.

At this moment, three or four goblins emerged from the dense bushes.

When they saw Chen Hao, they were initially startled, but then, seeing that Chen Hao was alone while they had several companions with them, their courage immediately grew.

He raised the wooden stick in his hand and thrust it at Chen Hao.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Hao's eyes. With a swing of the [Fang Blade], the immense force and sharp blade severed the goblin's wooden stick as easily as cutting a reed, severing it along with the goblin's body.

The goblin's two severed bodies fell to the ground, green blood mixed with its internal organs, flowing everywhere.

With a "swish," two more slashes felled, and two more goblins lay dead on the spot.

The remaining goblin was completely terrified and stood frozen in place. Chen Hao kicked it, sending it flying to the back.

"These are for you."

Chen Hao turned his head and said this, then swung his long sword again, cutting through the bushes in front of him and revealing the goblins inside.

Some goblins, upon seeing Chen Hao, raised their wooden clubs and attacked.

Others turned and ran away.

Chen Hao ignored the fleeing goblins and focused on killing them.

One cut at a time, it was like mowing grass.

Until Chen Hao encountered a goblin who was a head taller than the others and was carrying a long, slightly rusty knife.

All the other goblins were naked, but this one was covered in a layer of dirty cloth.

Furthermore, they are quite strong.

It is comparable to Chen Hao's previous strength.

Keep in mind that Chen Hao is a head taller than it.

But compared to Chen Hao now, he's not good enough.

[Fang Blade] First, cut through its rusty longsword, then cut off its neck.

That's how the goblin died.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a one-star elite creature—the Forest Goblin Elite—and obtained two one-star cards.]

"Is this considered an elite creature?"

Chen Hao was speechless; compared to the wild boar and tiger he had killed, this was far inferior.

After that, no more elite goblins appeared.

When Chen Hao stopped swinging his sword, green blood flowed down the blood groove of his long sword and onto the withered leaves on the ground.

Around him lay the corpses of a group of goblins.

A rough count revealed twelve or thirteen bodies.

Not only Chen Hao killed the goblin, but Li Laoshi, Zhao Long, and Liu Zhan each killed one.

They ran there after being scattered by Chen Hao.

"I killed one, and I also killed a monster."

Liu Zhan looked excited and chattered away in Zhao Long's ear like a chatterbox.

"I know, I know. I killed one too, and Brother Chen killed more than a dozen. What's there to be excited about?"

Zhao Long was initially excited, but seeing Liu Zhan's expression, he could only pretend not to care.

Only Li Laoshi remained calm and composed, with little emotional fluctuation.

He even came up to Chen Hao, took out a white card and handed it to him: "Brother Chen, here you go."

Chen Hao glanced at it and shook his head, saying, "Keep your own spoils; there's no need to give them to me."

"This is a meat card. I don't lack meat to eat, so I don't need it. You might as well give it to Brother Chen."

Li Laoshi said.

He noticed Chen Hao was collecting cards and guessed that Chen Hao might have other uses for them.

However, he didn't say it aloud, knowing that everyone has secrets and that digging into them would offend people.

"All right."

In the end, Chen Hao accepted it.

The other two, Zhao Long and Liu Zhan, also each received a white card.

One water card, one salt card.

It was of little use to them, so they followed Li Laoshi's example and handed it over to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao also told them that they could give him the useless cards, just like they could keep the useful cards for themselves.

The three nodded quickly.

Then Chen Hao checked the cards that had dropped from killing so many goblins.

Almost all of them are white cards, and the vast majority are ordinary resource cards.

There is only one white equipment card and one blue equipment card.
