Chapter 388: Chapter 208: People of Two Worlds

"Graah?"

A confused sound escaped the Goblin’s mouth.

Even among Goblins, it was a bottom-feeder. That was why it hadn’t kept up with the main horde, choosing instead to stay behind to see if it could pick up some "scraps."

It found the scraps, just as expected. But where did these human Adventurers suddenly come from?

Watching the humans approach, their expressions unkind, the Goblin tightened its grip on its wooden club and thought for about a second.

Then, it immediately dropped its club, picked up the "delicacy" it had just found, and began stuffing it into its mouth.

The next second, its head went flying.

"Trying to die with a full stomach, are you..."

Huck’s mouth twitched as he lowered his Sword.

"Can’t let you have your wish!"

He said, stomping on the Goblin’s corpse.

Though Huck usually seemed carefree and loved to goof around, he was all business when it mattered.

"The Goblins can’t have gone far. Let’s hurry after them!"

Landon quickly deduced a few things from the presence of this Goblin. He continued along the village road, and as far as he could see, traces of the Goblins’ destruction were everywhere. They soon encountered a few more stragglers, all rummaging through the ruins just like the first one.

The tracks left by the large band of Goblins were quite distinct, and they were still easy to follow even after leaving the village.

"They went into the mountains over here."

Alton observed where the tracks were headed. "If I’m not mistaken, the villagers must have evacuated into these mountains ahead of time. We need to hurry."

Everyone nodded in agreement and sped up, heading for the mountains.

The faster Agility System Professionals among them, like Sid and Sheela, along with Lin Mo, immediately raced ahead in pursuit.

For these experienced Adventurers, finding the Goblins’ trail wasn’t difficult, even in the mountains. They followed the tracks all the way.

Finally, just before the last rays of sunlight faded, they spotted the Goblin Army.

At the same time, they also saw the villagers who had fled into the mountains.

The villagers were hiding inside a large cave. After being discovered by the Goblins, the able-bodied youths of the village had taken up arms and were now blocking the entrance, struggling to fend off the attack.

Thanks to the relatively narrow cave entrance, and the fact that none of the Goblins possessed high Combat Power, they were actually managing to hold their ground for the moment.

But it was clear that if the fight dragged on, it wouldn’t be long before the small group of youths would be injured and killed one by one. The villagers hiding in the cave would all be captured by the Goblins, to be used as food and tools for breeding.

"Thank goodness we made it in time..."

Lin Mo let out a sigh of relief. He quickly raised his hand and immediately cast [Blizzard].

’Even though it’s an Excellence Level Skill, the Skill Level I get from killing Ordinary Goblins with it is greatly reduced. But now’s not the time to be concerned with that. Saving people is the priority.’

[Blizzard] was still Lin Mo’s Skill with the largest area of effect, perfect for clearing out mobs quickly.

As expected, the [Blizzard] instantly annihilated every Goblin within its range. Moreover, Lin Mo’s placement of the Skill was extremely clever.

He hadn’t aimed for the front of the Goblin Army, where he might accidentally hit the villagers, nor had he aimed for the rear. He had cast it right in the middle.

This allowed him to envelop the maximum number of Goblins. Those at the rear, outside the initial range, might not react in time and would walk right into the spell’s area of effect. Even if they were only grazed by the waves of Elements at the edge, [Blizzard]’s power was more than enough to kill these Ordinary Goblins.

The Goblin Army before them numbered around a thousand, and Lin Mo’s single spell had directly wiped out over 200 of them.

Even with the penalty for an Excellence Level Skill killing Ordinary Goblins, those two hundred-odd Goblins still provided him with nearly 40 Points of Skill Level.

Just as the [Blizzard] Skill ended, Lin Mo had already passed through the Goblin Army and arrived before the villagers.

"It’s an Adventurer!"

"An Adventurer has come to save us!"

Seeing Lin Mo’s sudden appearance and witnessing that terrifying Magic, the villagers grew excited. The young men who had been sinking into despair found their spirits renewed.

The Goblins at the front line had no idea what had just happened behind them. Their minds were filled with thoughts of their impending feast and breeding. They showed no fear at the sight of Lin Mo and continued their assault.

The young men holding them back were already at their limit, many of them wounded.

’This is where the Skills of a Knight Profession come in handy.’

Lin Mo immediately used a Skill he had never once used since learning it—[Taunt].

As his Qi and Blood began to circulate, a faint light glowed around Lin Mo’s body. The next moment, it was as if the Goblins’ gazes were forcibly redirected, and every one of them locked onto him.
