Chapter 49 Signs of Doom
After running for a long time, the distance to the place where the goblin made the cry was only slightly closer, as if the goblin was also moving towards somewhere.

"Sister Nilu, let's hurry up!" Chris said as he ran faster.

Nilu followed Chris silently, but her pretty face was frowned.

The two of them ran at their fastest speed for nearly fifteen minutes, and finally saw four goblins walking in unison.

Although Chris's face was covered with sweat, he was smiling.

He drew his sword and leaped forward, blocking the goblin's path.

When the goblins saw the sudden appearance of humans, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all became furious.

He waved the stone hammer and stone stick in his hands and smashed towards Chris with a scream.

"Bang! Bang!"

The stone hammer hit Chris's shield, knocking him back several steps.

If Chris hadn't consumed too much energy from running before, he wouldn't have been defeated by the goblin in one blow.

But after such a huge amount of exercise, both my strength and endurance have decreased a lot.

But even so, after careful training, Chris did not think he would lose to the goblin.

He held up his shield and resisted the goblins' attacks, forcing two of them back.

"Sister Nilu, I'll leave those two to you."

Chris shouted and began to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

The mission drawn by the Adventurer's Guild is 'Kill two goblins alone', so Chris cannot get magical support from Nelue, and Nelue must face the two goblins alone.

Chris trusted Nilu very much, and the two goblins were not a big challenge for her.

Because Nel is a magician.

Although they can only release the lowest level of apprentice magic, the destructive power that a magician can cause is far greater than that of a warrior.

"Low-level gravity barrier!"

Nilu held the staff in her hand, muttered something, and released gravity magic directly.

The two goblins' movements suddenly slowed down, and in Nilu's eyes, they were swinging their weapons as if in slow motion.

Even though her physical fitness is slightly inferior to Chris's, she can still dodge the goblin's attacks relatively easily.

While dodging, Nilu secretly prepared her trump card.

Apprentice Magic - Flame Fireball

This is the only offensive magic that Nilu has learned, and it is also a very cost-effective magic.

"Flame spirit, burn the enemies in front of you!"

The magic power gathered little by little, forming two red fireballs. This kind of apprentice magic should be very easy to release, and only one section of chanting is enough. Even so, Nilu grabbed the staff with both hands, and her wrists trembled a little.

Continuously releasing magic is still a big burden for her.

However, Nilu calculated the timing just right. At the moment the gravity magic disappeared, the goblins had not yet adapted to the sudden restoration of gravity, and they had no time to dodge the two fist-sized fireballs.

"Wa ...

A burnt smell emanated from the two fallen goblins. Nilu panted softly, trying to calm her inner excitement. Although she had practiced with her mentor and Chris many times, this kind of actual combat was her first time. It must be said that Nilu's magical talent was not low, as she could perform so well in her first actual combat.

Chris on the other side was not as relaxed as Nilu. He was a warrior, just a warrior.

He doesn't know magic and has no fighting spirit. The only things he can rely on are the sword and shield in his hands.

Chris couldn't kill the goblins easily with magic like Nelue did. All he could do was fight the goblins frantically with his sword.

Although goblins look like skinny sub-human monsters, they are no weaker than adult human men in strength. Some elite ones among them are even much stronger than adult humans.

Although Chris was able to use his shield to block the goblin's stone hammer time and time again, he found it difficult to find an opportunity to counterattack.

The two goblins were like crazy, and tiny bumps kept appearing on Chris's iron shield, which showed that each of their attacks was quite powerful.

At times like this, even the swordsmanship you have learned would be of little use.

Chris raised his almost stiff arms with difficulty and blocked the attack again.

But he finally smiled. At the moment when the stone hammer and the shield touched, Chris's body tilted slightly, and the shield also tilted. The goblin's center of gravity shifted immediately, and his feet staggered.

The one following closely behind did not expect its companion to fall suddenly, and was tripped.

"go to hell."

When the two goblins fell in a strange posture, Chris seized the opportunity and stabbed the two goblins in the heart with a sword.

In this way, the two goblins were killed on the spot by Chris.

"call!"

Chris smiled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved to Nilu and said, "Sister Nilu, come and see our spoils!"

Although goblins are low-level sub-humans, their teeth, nails, etc. can still be sold for some money. If you are lucky enough to encounter a goblin carrying silver coins, magic stones, etc., you can even make a small fortune.

However, Nelue and Chris were obviously not so lucky. The four goblins had empty pockets and no treasures. But even so, the materials harvested from the goblins were enough to make the two happy.

Chris carefully packed the extracted teeth and nails into a package. After packing, he weighed the package and said to Nilu with a smile: "Hey, these can be sold for at least four silver coins. It's a profit."

Nilu nodded and said anxiously: "Chris, let's go quickly, it's dark, it's too dangerous here."

"Okay, let's leave quickly." Chris' heart sank. He also noticed that the surroundings had fallen into darkness without him noticing. He had to leave the Sloda Forest as soon as possible.

The two of them quickly packed up everything and were about to leave when the ground suddenly shook slightly.

"Boom!"

The dull sound seemed to knock on the two people's hearts, causing the two people who were about to evacuate to stop involuntarily.

"This is..." Chris felt his throat go dry.

This is a monster nearly three meters tall. The muscles of its limbs are shriveled, the sharp tips of its five claws are extremely prominent, and it has a terrifying face like a skull. A long tongue extends from its mouth, and disgusting saliva is constantly dripping from it.

"Eat...Ghoul!"

Chris felt his lips were extremely dry, his hands and legs were trembling, and he couldn't even move a little.

This kind of monster is not invincible. Generally speaking, it can be defeated by two or three experienced Iron-level adventurers working together. However, Chris and Nel are not Iron-level adventurers, and they do not have much experience fighting monsters. The ghoul is simply an invincible enemy for them.

What's even more terrifying is that the ghouls have always fed on corpses and have an almost crazy obsession with humans. In their perception, human flesh is far more delicious than those of sub-human monsters.

Just as Chris' legs were trembling, the zombie's claws had already attacked his body, and the gradually enlarging claws in his pupils continued to stimulate Chris's nerves.

He developed a disease that most new adventurers will have, 'monster phobia'...
