Chapter 142 – This is my jungle!


Lin Baici turned around and rushed towards the tunnel behind him.

He took out a bundle of prepared firecrackers from his backpack and quickly lit them before throwing them in.

Xia Hongyao and Nangong Shu followed behind Lin Baici, forming a triangular formation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The firecrackers exploded, and the pungent smoke immediately filled the air.

The goblins had quietly approached, ready to ambush, but their tracks were discovered, catching them off guard.

Lin Baici swung his sword wildly!

The Dragon Tooth was so sharp that the goblins’ crude weapons couldn’t withstand it. Whether it was a dagger or a wolf’s fang club, they were as fragile as paper.

The bronze sword broke their weapons and slashed at the goblins, cutting off limbs and causing blood to flow.

“Captain, just keep moving forward and don’t stop. Disrupt their formation and create chaos, I’ll cover you!”

The bartender suggested.

Orc! Orc!

A strong goblin saw its kin being slaughtered and angrily pounced towards Lin Baici.

Its weapon was a giant beast’s thigh bone, as terrifying as a war hammer. It swung it, intending to smash Lin Baici’s head.

But it didn’t get the chance.

After a faint glimmer flashed on the Bodhi Messenger’s robe that Lin Baici was wearing, the Muscular Buddha appeared. It seemed like it could move heaven and earth as it swung its muscular arms, performing a windmill and hitting the goblin’s head.

Bang!

The goblin’s head deformed, and it flew several meters like it was hit by a speeding mud truck, crashing into the nearby wall.

Hoo!

The Muscular Buddha grabbed a goblin and used it as a human projectile, throwing it with all its strength towards another goblin stuck to the wall.

Bang!

Just as Xia Hongyao was about to strike, the bartender had already rushed over, wielding a bone-cutting knife and randomly chopping at their necks.

Crack! Crack!

Two goblins were killed.

The Muscular Buddha seemed to be in its own world, like an enemy of ten thousand on the battlefield. In just fifty seconds, it killed all the goblins gathered in the tunnel.

When the area in front of them was empty, the Muscular Buddha turned around and chanted a Buddhist mantra.

Amitabha!

Before the words had even finished, it turned another goblin into minced meat.

Lin Baici looked at the Muscular Buddha’s bravery and felt that he should prepare a weapon for it, like a Demon Subduing Staff or a Diamond Spade.

As the Muscular Buddha charged back, halfway through, the goblins panicked and scattered, screaming in fear.

“Captain, don’t stop, keep killing them!”

The bartender urged, “These monsters are too inhumane. We have to kill them all!”

Lin Baici ignored him. Seeing the goblins fleeing, he immediately rushed back.

There were still a group of unarmed women behind them. If they were ambushed by the goblins, several of them would definitely die.

Lin Baici’s prediction was correct. There were indeed goblins hiding in nearby side tunnels, waiting to ambush them. But when Lin Baici suddenly moved, they heard the screams of their companions and became frightened, giving up their attack.

[Well done. To pass this level, besides surviving, you also need to save people. If the number of people saved is not enough, a vote will be required to select one person as the cost of passing.]

The Food God commented.

Upon hearing this, Lin Baici frowned.

This level was actually testing human nature, to see if the Divine Hunter still had empathy. If they were too selfish and refused to save others, only caring about passing the level themselves, even if they were the first to escape the goblin dungeon, they would be required to vote for one person because they didn’t save anyone.

“These goblins are too weak, aren’t they?”

The old man worried.

The Crazy Maid was one of the Seven Wonders. How could it create such a simple rule?

For everyone, it was like going on an outing.

Something was not right.

“So we should continue to kill them!”

The bartender looked at the women, “If we can save people, I suggest helping out. Consider it accumulating good karma.”

“Accumulate your ass. These are not even human. What’s the point of saving them?”

The old man retorted. He was afraid of Lin Baici, but not this bartender. If he provoked him, he would give him a good beating and let him know why roses were red.

“Hehe, what you say doesn’t matter!”

The bartender sighed inwardly. If he was strong enough, why bother caring about others’ opinions?

Do whatever you want!

Speaking of which, Lin Baici’s Muscular Buddha is so powerful.

The bartender envied him to the point of withering.

I’m willing to be single for ten years in exchange for one.

“Let’s go kill the goblins and save people!”

Lin Baici looked at the girl with flaxen hair, “We’re going to kill monsters. You can wait here or leave first!”

“I’ll follow you!”

The girl with flaxen hair said firmly.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici activated his Taste of Life and followed the scent left by the goblins, tracking them.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a large cave.

Lin Baici lurked and took a glance.

This tribe had a small population. Some had died in the previous battle, leaving behind more than seventy people, mostly young goblins and some females.

“Aunt Shu, can you still use the divine grace you used earlier to hypnotize them?”

Xia Hongyao asked hopefully.

Nangong Shu shook her head, “They are currently mentally excited, so the effect won’t be significant!”

“It doesn’t matter, they’re just some small fries.”

The bartender licked his lips, his eyes bloodthirsty.

His bone-cutting knife was already eager and impatient.

“When the firecrackers explode, we’ll charge in!”

Lin Baici ignited a box of firecrackers and threw it into the nest.

His strength was great, and his aim was accurate. The box landed near a large pot.

A group of female goblins were gathered there, processing ingredients.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sudden explosion startled the goblins.

“Charge!”

Lin Baici took the lead, holding a torch in his left hand and a bronze sword in his right, causing a bloody massacre.

The bartender went straight for the young goblins.

“Don’t let a single one escape.”

The bartender went on a killing spree.

This was a one-sided massacre. Even the old man got excited and thought that occasionally doing something like this was not bad, it was very stress-relieving.

But just when everyone thought the situation was under control, more than a dozen torches were thrown in. They burned and emitted black smoke.

“Damn, reinforcements are here!”

The old man shouted, “Run!”

He ran towards another tunnel like a rabbit being chased by a hunting dog.On the side where the torch was thrown, it indicates the presence of goblins, so we can’t go that way.

The old man rushed in, not running far to hide, and then stopped.

Because in the opposite tunnel, there was a large group of adult goblins hiding, densely packed.

At this moment, their fierce eyes were fixed on the old man.

“Damn it!”

The old man turned around and ran.

The goblins shot arrows from their bows and threw spears.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

These arrows were all coated with poison and could easily bring down an elephant.

“Captain, we’ve fallen into an ambush!”

The old man panicked.

It was clear that the goblins who attacked them earlier were just bait and cannon fodder. When Lin Baici and the others had exhausted their stamina, the main force would come.

Orcs! Orcs!

The goblins shouted and rushed out. They were all fully grown monsters, with powerful physiques, wearing leather armor, and wielding battle axes and machetes. They were obviously several levels stronger than the ones they had encountered before.

There were even a few wearing iron armor and wielding meteor hammers, looking extremely fierce.

“Don’t panic!”

Lin Baici shouted, “Fight our way out from the way we came!”

He believed that there shouldn’t be many goblins inside the tunnel where the torch was thrown, because normal people wouldn’t think of breaking through from this side when ambushed. They would choose other positions, just like the old man did.

Thick smoke quickly spread, and Lin Baici quickly put on a gas mask.

[This is a poisonous smoke made from the juice extracted from the seeds of a nettle plant. After inhaling a certain dosage, it paralyzes the body and causes sudden cardiac arrest!]

Xia Hongyao and the innkeeper also put on gas masks, but the others were not so fortunate.

Cough! Cough!

“Captain!”

The woman in leather pants was injured and in a bad state, feeling the most uncomfortable at the moment.

“Fight our way out!”

Lin Baici had no other choice. He didn’t have any Divine taboos for healing.

Xia Hongyao was very fast, like a cheetah, surpassing Lin Baici and charging into the tunnel. However, the next moment, she screamed.

“There are a lot of monsters!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A large net woven from seven vines covered Xia Hongyao.

Behind the group of goblins stood an old goblin wearing a dirty black robe, holding a staff made of dried wood.

The head of the staff was a goat skull, with a pair of fist-sized gemstones embedded in the eye sockets.

It pointed the staff at Xia Hongyao, and a thumb-sized blue arc immediately flashed on it, followed by an explosion.

Boom!

A thick lightning chain, like a python, whistled out of the tunnel and struck Xia Hongyao.

With her high ponytail, she realized that she couldn’t dodge the large net of vines, so she suddenly teleported and appeared among the goblin crowd in front.

“Hongyao!”

Lin Baici’s expression became serious. He didn’t expect there to be such a magic-type monster among the goblins, and it seemed very powerful. But what surprised him even more was Xia Hongyao’s recklessness.

She clearly had the teleportation skill, but instead of using it to escape, she attacked.

But Lin Baici admitted that this was the best choice.

Otherwise, if they dragged on, the poisonous smoke would have taken everyone’s lives.

Xia Hongyao held a short knife and turned her body!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sharp blade cut through the goblins around her, severing their limbs. Then Xia Hongyao continued her assault.

The goblin shaman raised his left hand and sprinkled some magic powder.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The magic powder quickly ignited, turning into chestnut-sized fireballs, like a meteor shower, shooting towards Xia Hongyao.

Buzz!

A golden light shield appeared on Xia Hongyao’s body, blocking the fireballs. Without slowing down, she continued her assault.

The goblin shaman seemed flustered and hastily retreated.

“Be careful, Hongyao!”

Lin Baici shouted as a reminder, because there was no panic in the eyes of this goblin shaman, only a bloodthirsty crimson light.

Its retreat seemed more like a trap.

Sure enough, a depression appeared beside the tunnel, and a two-meter-tall two-headed ogre suddenly rushed out, wielding a bone-crushing hammer and smashing towards Xia Hongyao’s head.

Roar!

The two-headed ogre roared.

The old goblin pointed its goat skull staff at Xia Hongyao.

Mind Blast!

Boom!

A circle of black ripples surged out rapidly, like a tide, engulfing Xia Hongyao’s body.

With her high ponytail, she felt a sudden shock in her head, experiencing a brief moment of intense pain and dizziness, causing her to be slightly slow in her response.

The two-headed ogre’s bone-crushing hammer came crashing down.

If it hit, not only Xia Hongyao’s head, but half of her body would be smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, there was still Lin Baici. He was afraid of any unexpected situations and didn’t dare to throw out his flying sword to kill the old goblin shaman. Now it seemed that he made the right decision.

Swish!

The flying sword shot out, passing through the heads of the goblins, piercing the right hand of the two-headed ogre, and deflecting the bone-crushing hammer.

Whoosh!

Blood splattered.

Xia Hongyao snapped back to her senses, didn’t retreat, gritted her teeth, and continued to kill the goblin shaman. “Little Lin, you kill that big monster!”

They couldn’t retreat. This old monster obviously had intelligence. If they didn’t take it down now, they probably wouldn’t have a chance to get close later.

“You get out of the way!”

Behind Lin Baici, a statue of a Buddha appeared, and a fine rain of cow hair began to fall in the tunnel.

The Night Rain of Life, the Wild Buddha Blows Out the Lamp!

Kill them!

Hoo!

A gust of wind blew, and the flames on the goblins’ heads immediately extinguished. They all fell to the ground, forming a carpet of corpses in an instant.

The two-headed ogre was somewhat furious. It had flames on both of its heads, but under the Wild Buddha’s blow, only one flame was extinguished.

It didn’t die.

Xia Hongyao was very alert. She hid in the nearby tunnel, waiting for the old goblin to come to her, but this monster not only didn’t come over, it also wasn’t killed by Lin Baici’s ultimate move.

The dirty black robe on its body emitted strands of black smoke, quickly forming a skinny claw, which grabbed the flame on its head with a snap.

The flame was not extinguished, and its life was not lost.

Xia Hongyao’s mental strength was very strong. Seeing that the old goblin didn’t die, she didn’t feel discouraged. She attacked again.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The Red Earth Clayman, a barrage of flying stones.

This time, the old goblin was hit.It was a magical creature, highly resistant to divine blessings like the Floating Night Rain and the Wild Buddha’s Lamp, but it was fragile against physical attacks, relying on the enslaved two-headed ogre as a meat shield.

Three flying stones hit its eyes, blinding it.

The old goblin had plenty of combat experience. Even when blinded, it released a chain of lightning towards Xia Hongyao.

But Xia Hongyao was too fast.

Charge, close in, assassinate!

Eclipse!

Puchi!

The dagger easily pierced the old goblin’s chest. Xia Hongyao twisted the hilt, mashing its heart, quickly pulled out the dagger, and slashed at its neck.

The old goblin’s head rolled off like a ripe watermelon.

Bang!

Xia Hongyao turned around to see Lin Baici chopping off the ogre’s right hand.

A pink smoke condensed into a female demon, dancing in front of the ogre, attracting everyone’s attention.

Lin Baici planned to let the Muscle Buddha attack, but the ogre’s head suddenly exploded.

The huge headless body fell to the ground.

“What the hell?”

Lin Baici frowned.

“This ogre was enslaved by the old goblin shaman. To avoid backlash, it would explode upon the shaman’s death.”

The Food God commented.

The dwarf and the woman in leather pants were shocked.

The performance of Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao was simply amazing.

The battle was short but extremely dangerous. Any mistake from either of them would have been fatal. If they hadn’t killed the old goblin, they would all be trapped here.

“Why are you running?”

Lin Baici scolded, “Hongyao, take the head.”

The ogre’s head was gone, and Lin Baici didn’t want to drag such a large corpse to intimidate the goblins.

Xia Hongyao understood Lin Baici’s intention, grabbed the head, and ran into the cave.

“Boss, gather the spoils!”

Lin Baici followed, concerned for Xia Hongyao’s safety.

“You don’t need to come!”

Xia Hongyao saw Lin Baici following and shouted, but she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Many people would fight over the Divine taboo, but Lin Baici cared more about her safety.

He’s my little Lin!

But what Xia Hongyao enjoyed the most was the battle just now. Their cooperation was so in sync, it was like they could read each other’s minds.

It was simply enjoyable to fight like this.

“I feel like we can hunt gods together!”

Xia Hongyao was elated.

The old goblin’s head was held high by the high ponytail, and the goblins who were chasing them were stunned, then began to scatter and flee.

Even the great shaman was dead, and apart from the king, no one could kill them now.

The battle was over.

“Captain, chase them, don’t let any of them escape!”

The bartender was fierce.

“You go!”

Lin Baici didn’t want to move. The fight with the old shaman was short, but it was too dangerous. He needed to rest.

The bartender looked disappointed. He wanted to chase and kill the fleeing goblins, but he was too weak to dare.

What a pity!

The old man didn’t care about the wild monsters, his eyes were fixed on the staff and robe in Nangong Shu’s hands.

“These should be two Divine taboo!”

He was envious and wanted them.

“Captain!”

The boss lady handed the two items to Lin Baici.

“Voodoo Staff, with the divine blessings of Natural Lightning Chain and Mind Blast. As the name suggests, the former can release a chain of lightning that will bounce to the next person as soon as someone is hit, attacking up to seven targets!”

“Mind Blast causes the target’s mind to feel as if it has been blown up, causing brief intense pain and dizziness. Those with poor endurance may die on the spot!”

“You can consume them or keep them for emergencies!”

Lin Baici took the staff, satisfied.

Just by harvesting these two divine blessings, this trip was worth it.

“Is that crazy maid a god?”

Lin Baici was curious.

The Food God didn’t answer, but commented on the other robe.

“Voodoo Robe, when worn, it has a miraculous effect against magical attacks. It has the divine blessing of Voodoo Hand, which can resist a magic damage when activated.”

Lin Baici saw how the old goblin defended against the Floating Night Rain and the Wild Buddha’s Lamp. This was the first time his skill had failed, so he rated this equipment highly.

“Hongyao, you pick one!”

Except for the boss lady who helped a little, the others didn’t contribute, so Lin Baici naturally didn’t ask for their opinions: “Aunt Shu, I’ll give you some meteor coins as compensation!”

“No need!”

Nangong Shu wasn’t interested in exploring God’s Ruins. Taking the Divine taboo would be a waste.

“Then I’ll take the robe?”

Xia Hongyao asked for Lin Baici’s opinion.

She thought this thing could block Lin Baici’s big move, it was very powerful, and could be used for self-defense.

But if Lin Baici wanted it, she would give it up.

Lin Baici handed the robe to Xia Hongyao, stepped on the goblin corpses, and walked towards the old shaman. He wanted to check and avoid missing any spoils.

“A corpse blessed by the natural ancestors, burn it, and you can see the Goblin King!”
