Chapter 413: Chapter 412 Slaying the Big Saber Goblin

"Although there are only six soul points, six soul points are already quite good, especially since the Big Saber Goblins in Goblin Plain are far more numerous than the Lickers in Raccoon City."

According to Zhang Yanhang’s scanning results under Time Pause, there were at least about twenty thousand Goblins in Goblin Plain, and among these twenty thousand Goblins, the Big Saber Goblins, which were the lowest in rank and weakest in strength, occupied an absolute dominant position.

So, just from this point of view, Zhang Yanhang felt that as long as he cleared the entire Goblin Plain, then when the time came, not to mention upgrading Technique Immunity·Original to LV.6, even upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Original LV.6 might not pose too much of a problem.

"In that case, then let’s officially start hunting monsters."

As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he picked up a green quality drop treasure box from the corpse of a Big Saber Goblin. In the few seconds he had been waiting, the Big Saber Goblin, which had liked to be lazy and sleep, contributing a drop treasure box as expected in its death.

"Big Saber Goblins and Crimson Iron Flying Ants are both First Tier One-star Elite Monsters, sure enough, they all drop green quality treasure boxes."

But even though he had obtained a drop treasure box, Zhang Yanhang wasn’t planning on opening it right now. He intended to collect a few more and then open them all at once, after all, opening just one treasure box wasn’t very meaningful. He needed at least three more to have enough to upgrade Talent to D-rank.

Based on Zhang Yanhang’s experience, the "Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)" of the Big Saber Goblin was mostly just a common E-grade Talent, and only when it was upgraded to D-rank would the real transformation occur.

Zhang Yanhang was quite looking forward to the transformation that would occur when this new Talent upgraded to D-rank, which is why he wanted to achieve it in one step.

After picking up the drop treasure box, Zhang Yanhang quickly scanned the locations of the nearby Big Saber Goblins with Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, and immediately ran towards the nearest group of Big Saber Goblins. He didn’t count carefully, but there were about seventy or eighty.

Because he couldn’t bother to conceal his tracks, Zhang Yanhang charged directly at full speed, with grass flying and deep footprints being stomped into the soil along the way. As for this issue, Zhang Yanhang could only say that the ground of Goblin Plain really wasn’t very hard.

Not only was it far inferior to the crimson iron ore ground of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu but even far less than the concrete ground of the neighboring Raccoon City. The soft soil impacted Zhang Yanhang’s performance to a certain extent.

However, because Zhang Yanhang’s physical condition was extraordinarily strong, the impact was very limited, only slightly reducing his speed—a reduction from the original eighty-two meters per second to about eighty meters per second—which only slightly lowered his monster hunting efficiency, staying within an acceptable range.

...

A leading Big Saber Goblin saw a burly shadow charging towards them from afar. It was about to instruct its subordinate Big Saber Goblins to rush over and hack the shadow to death with chaotic slashes, but suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the shadow had already charged to its side.

In another blink of an eye, it was shocked to find its body unnaturally suspended in mid-air, and involuntarily, it spat out a large mouthful of green blood mixed with organ fragments. After spitting out this green blood, the Big Saber Goblin’s consciousness could no longer hold on and fell into darkness.

Watching the Big Saber Goblin in mid-air, which had been killed directly due to his own failure to brake in time, Zhang Yanhang had no additional thoughts. He just silently took out the Six Roots Pure Soul Passage Spear from his waist bag.

Da-da-da—

While the bewildered Big Saber Goblins around him still hadn’t figured out what was happening, Zhang Yanhang had already pulled the trigger. Cannon bullets, thick as a child’s arm, burst forth from the dark muzzle of the gun, producing a brilliant flash of gunfire.

Since Goblins, unlike Zombies, didn’t have the characteristic that required beheading to be killed and were more similar to normal biological creatures, Zhang Yanhang aimed mostly at random, without deliberately targeting their heads, and instead aimed mostly at their torsos.

However, unlike before when he aimed at the Zombies’ chests, this time he aimed at the midsection of the Goblins’ bodies, specifically the area between the chest and abdomen.

Simultaneous with the sound of gunfire was a dense cacophony of flesh ripping apart. As the dark bullet heads penetrated the torsos of the Big Saber Goblins, these creatures, no taller than an elementary school student, had their upper bodies disintegrated by the terrifying impact of the cannon bullets, instantly turning into a mess of flesh.

But due to their size, the cannon bullets, which previously could only blow up the Zombies’ bellies and chest cavities, now completely shattered the entire upper bodies and waists of the Big Saber Goblins.

Only two green lower limbs, barely intact, remained standing in place, looking both ridiculous and eerie.

[Successfully killed a First Tier One-star ’Elite Big Saber Goblin’ ×1, Soul points +6.]

[Successfully killed a First Tier One-star ’Elite Big Saber Goblin’ ×1, Soul points +6.]

[Successfully killed a First Tier One-star ’Elite Big Saber Goblin’ ×1, Soul points +6.]

......

Watching the Big Saber Goblins before him be blasted into chunks of meat by cannon bullets, Zhang Yanhang thought that indeed the Crimson Iron Ants were a bit stronger.

Although the Crimson Iron Ants, when faced with cannon bullets, also ended up being blown into pieces, thanks to their exoskeleton armor, even as chunks, they were more complete, larger, and somehow more appetizing than the Big Saber Goblins.

Incidentally, according to Zhang Yanhang’s experience, Goblins like the Big Saber Goblins, which carried a Thin Dragon Vein, should likely obtain some benefits similar to those from eating Crimson Iron Ant Meat after consumption.

But Zhang Yanhang really couldn’t tolerate the repulsive appearance and terrible taste of the Big Saber Goblins; he felt that if he actually ate such things, it was uncertain whether he’d gain any benefits, but he was sure to lose something important.

After shooting expressionlessly with the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun for a while, the last Big Saber Goblin in Zhang Yanhang’s view also fell silent, and the killing prompt that had been continuously ringing in his ears finally stopped.
