Chapter 4: Five Kills in One Second
The Thief of Space has been roaming the Burning God Realm for several years and has plundered countless top-level equipment and props, but there is a legendary "artifact" that he has only heard of and never seen with his own eyes. Unexpectedly, after arriving in another world, Luo Qiu finally got to see this legendary object that was only circulated among people.

The best sword in the village!
The plain black scabbard, the shiny sword body, and the blade that has been carefully polished with a whetstone all show the extraordinary beauty of this weapon in its ordinariness.

It is worthy of being the best sword in the village, and it really lives up to its reputation.

Luo Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the old village chief would give him such a thing.

Although he knew that this was just an ordinary sword, Luo Qiu couldn't help but reach out to take it just because of its name.

After taking the sword from the villager, he swung it twice casually, and the sharp sword wind was quite strong.

Seeing that Luo Qiu could use the long sword with ease, Codeya had more confidence in him. You know, it was very difficult for him to hold this sword normally. The fact that the young man who called himself an adventurer could wield it so easily showed that his wrist strength was extraordinary!

One of Luo Qiu's professions, 'Abyss Knight', is a very powerful knight profession, and the bonus to strength attribute is also quite high. In "Burning God Domain", the naked strength value of this account is a full 5,000 points, which is nearly 2,000 higher than the strength value of an ordinary level 100 player. The weight of a mere iron sword is almost like a feather to him.

"Mr. Adventurer, this is the only help our Fenwen Village can provide you. Please drive away the monsters!" Codya said sincerely.

"Adventurer, please drive away the monsters!" All the villagers made the request from the bottom of their hearts.

Well, let’s not talk about whether this ‘best sword in the village’ has the legendary effect. It is not difficult for Luo Qiu to deal with such a small matter as a few goblins. Moreover, this is also the fastest way to gain the favor of the villagers, which is very helpful for collecting intelligence about this world.

"Leave it to me." Luo Qiu nodded slightly.

After saying that, Luo Qiu took a step forward, opened the gate of Fenwen Village under the expectant eyes of the villagers of Fenwen Village, and walked out.

Five goblins have been blocking the entrance to Fenwen Village for many days. Based on their instincts, they are extremely eager to enter the village and steal women and food.

But every time they had this thought and wanted to put it into action, a voice would always appear deep in their souls, ordering them not to enter. Even their bodies would involuntarily obey the voice deep in their souls and would not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, they have been extremely irritated and want to vent.

Just now, the door that had been closed suddenly opened, and a human holding a sword walked out.

The five goblins were very happy.

They finally found something fun to do, killing humans. This is one of the goblins' instincts and their favorite thing to do.

As the leader of the five goblins, the 'Flame Goblin' immediately ordered four ordinary goblins to attack, while it itself condensed the magic 'Flame Arrow' in its palm.

The four ordinary goblins seemed to be laughing at Luo Qiu's arrogance for daring to fight alone. They slowly surrounded Luo Qiu's four corners. Then, they looked at each other, let out a series of strange, mocking laughs, and smashed down with the stone sticks in their hands almost at the same time.

I hope this human won't be killed by one blow. At least he will die after being hit by my magic. The 'Fire Goblin' doesn't want a toy that he has worked so hard to get to die so easily.

The magic in the hands of the 'Fire Goblin' had been successfully condensed, and just as it was about to release the magic, it was stunned.

A silvery light flashed across the sky.

puff! puff! puff! puff!
Four huge heads flew out, and the splattered blood splashed onto the face of the "Fire Goblin".

A very familiar smell, that is the blood of the same kind...

Almost at the same moment when he was splashed with blood of his own kind, the magic 'fire arrow' that was originally condensed in his hand actually dissipated uncontrollably, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not condense it again.

What happened? There was a piercing pain in my chest, and I felt weak and cold all over...

The 'Flame Goblin' lowered his head and saw a bloodstained sword stuck in his heart.

In the last second of its life, the Fire Goblin saw an expressionless human pulling out a sword from its body...

******
In a forest cave not far from Fenwen Village, there is a mysterious man covered in a black robe.

He sat cross-legged on a huge rock. When the five goblins died, he seemed to sense something and raised his head, revealing a thin and stiff face.

"It's interesting that someone in a small place like Fenwen Village actually killed those goblins. Did a powerful adventurer pass by? Or did the village fight a desperate battle? Never mind. The magic has been chanted anyway. Let those goblins die. The time of death is just right. Let's have fun tonight. Despair will come tomorrow. I really look forward to seeing the expressions of those fools..."

"If I hadn't been injured by that damn Earth Bear, the plan would have ended long ago. It's really abominable. I was delayed for a few days. I'm afraid I'll be laughed at by those guys when I go back..."

The mysterious man shook his head and sighed, with a puzzled look on his face: "How could there be such a powerful Earth Bear in the Sloda Forest? I have never heard of such information before. It's really strange..."

******
In Luo Qiu's opinion, killing five goblins in seconds was a matter of course.

In order to hide his strength, Luo Qiu used two moves in total.

The first move was to cut off the heads of four ordinary goblins with one sword.
The second move was to throw the "best sword in the village" to interrupt the magic release of the "Flame Goblin"
The entire process took no more than two seconds, and no magic or skills were used.

Even Luo Qiu would despise himself in his heart if he had to use magic or skills to deal with such a monster.

"I wonder what level the strength I just demonstrated is in this world." Thinking so, Luo Qiu retracted his sword and walked back to Fenwen Village.

"This sword doesn't match the effect in the legend." Luo Qiu muttered to himself as he looked at the intact sword.

Shouldn't this sword be broken into two pieces at this time, and then someone should come and cry out in grief for this broken "best sword in the village"?
In Finwen Village, he was greeted by dozens of huge pairs of eyes, including the village chief Kodeya.

"Adventurer...you..."

Codya was extremely excited. He originally thought that even if Luo Qiu could defeat these goblins, it would take a long time to fight, and he might even need the help of the young people in the village.

He never expected that in just the blink of an eye, those hateful goblins turned into corpses. He didn't even see how Luo Qiu swung the sword.

"This is an absolutely powerful adventurer!" Codya gave Luo Qiu such a definition in his heart.

Killing goblins is nothing, it is a basic quality that every adventurer should possess. But killing five goblins in an instant, including a mutant 'Fire Goblin', is different. This level of power is beyond the reach of Codya and belongs to the combat power of the upper echelons of humanity.

"Oh!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Cheers and laughter came from the villagers' mouths. They felt happy and excited from the bottom of their hearts.

"Mr. Village Chief, thank you for your sword."

Luo Qiu handed the 'best sword in the village' back to Kodya.

However, Codya did not accept the "best sword in the village". Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you, adventurer, for saving our village. This sword should be our thank you gift. Our village is poor, and this is the only thing we can offer."

"Only you are worthy of this weapon."

Luo Qiu smacked his lips. The old village chief sounded as if he was giving away a magical weapon.

However, regardless of anything else about this sword, its name alone is enough to make it part of Luo Qiu's collection, so Luo Qiu did not refuse.

That night, smoke rose from the roofs of every house in Fenwen Village. Villagers in every household slaughtered chickens and sheep to celebrate for escaping this wave of disaster. Every corner of the village was filled with laughter.

Luo Qiu naturally became the guest of honor at the village chief's house.

The dinner was unusually sumptuous, and even included many vegetables and plants that Luo Qiu had never heard of.

"Is this wine?"

When Codya gave Luo Qiu a cup of clear yellow liquid, Luo Qiu asked curiously.

"Haha, this is our village's specialty fruit wine. You can't buy it in big cities." There was a hint of pride on Codya's face when introducing the wine.

"Oh? Then let me try it first." Luo Qiu picked up the cup and drank it all.

The mellow fruity aroma flows slowly into the throat, leaving a long aftertaste.

"Good wine!" Luo Qiu praised.

Although it is not a strong liquor, it has a unique flavor. I didn’t expect that such a good wine could be found in such a small village.

"Grandpa, I want to drink too!"

A white and tender little hand blocked Codya's way, trying to snatch the wine jug from Codya's hand.

"Go away, little Irene, this is not something for children to drink."

Codya held his granddaughter's hands and said, "This is for adults to drink."

"I'm an adult already!" the little girl said angrily.

Just that cute look made Codya and Luo Qiu smile.

Sure enough, this is a real world. It was not until this moment that Luo Qiu was truly convinced.

Because no matter how advanced human technology is, there are always many things that virtual data cannot provide.

If the proactive attack of the 'Earth Bear' can be explained as Luo Qiu stepping into its hatred range, then the villagers of Fenwen Village definitely could not be the NPCs in the game. They are all human beings with their own thoughts.

It seems that it is really interesting. Luo Qiu drank another glass of warm fruit wine, looked into the distance outside the window, smiled but said nothing.
