Chapter 425: Chapter 424: Goblin Spear Thrower

"I remember during the ’Time Pause’, I scanned some goblins almost as tall as or even taller than normal people. It’s truly fitting for Dragon Vein Goblins, their size enhanced as if they were on steroids. Luckily, I have also learned Giant Transformation, so I don’t have to be outdone by the goblins in height."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that he had probably already gathered enough treasure boxes to meet the requirements for upgrading the Scroll Dragon Bloodline. However, upon further thought, he decided it was better to wait until after completing the first tier cleanup plan to open them, as opening them together would also save time.

Several seconds later, Zhang Yanhang rushed forward full speed, enveloped in a massive air current, to the group of goblins. However, he didn’t rush to attack but first checked the attribute list of the three Advanced Goblins surrounded in the middle.

[Goblin Spear Thrower (Elite)]

[Level: First Tier 2 Star]

[Talent: 1. Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed). 2. Dragon Vein Goblin (Goblin Spear Thrower).]

[Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed): When launching a physical attack, there’s an option to consume energy to add an extra 10% lightning damage, with a 1% chance of paralyzing the enemy for 0.5 seconds. Energy value limit +7.5%.]

[Dragon Vein Goblin (Goblin Spear Thrower): Originating from the large Goblin tribe ’Nu Mountain Tribe’ below the Dragon Vein Goblin Kingdom ’Akbar Shaler’, amid the medium-sized Goblin tribe ’Nusha Tribe’. The interior contains thin and mixed Giant Dragon bloodline, with the most prominent part originating from an adult Blue Dragon controlling lightning power.

As a Dragon Vein Goblin, although the Giant Dragon bloodline in Goblin Spear Throwers is thin and mixed, their development of the Giant Dragon bloodline is far more powerful than Big Saber Goblins, which only manipulate lightning power through instinct, already able to actively control a part of the lightning power for their use.

As middle-level Dragon Vein Goblin Spear Throwers, they are assigned by the Goblin Chief of the Nu Mountain Tribe to guard the outer and middle layers of Goblin Plain. In contrast to the multitasking Big Saber Goblins, they mostly act as commanders and are not burdened with other duties besides combat.

Due to the power obtained from the bloodline, Goblin Spear Throwers are much stronger than ordinary goblins physically.

Compared to ordinary goblins who stand merely one meter tall and can’t even defeat a normal adult, the 1.4 meters tall Goblin Spear Throwers are undoubtedly muscle-bound giants among goblins, easily killing well-trained soldiers and holding their own even when faced against several soldiers.

On the bodies of these middle-level Dragon Vein Goblin Spear Throwers, the Giant Dragon bloodline has further shown distinct characteristics.

Besides their basic vertical pupils, their knees, elbows, and chest are covered with tough scales inherited from the Giant Dragon, and their feet have further mutated into a form similar to dragon claws, giving them enhanced grip, which allows them to exert extra force when throwing spears. ]

[Life Value: 180/180]

[Energy Value: 151/151]

[Strength: 17]

[Agility: 16]

[Constitution: 12]

[Intelligence: 14]

[Charm: 1]

[Skills: 1. Escape. 2. Quick Jab. 3. Lightning Triple Attack.]

[Escape: When Goblin Spear Throwers encounter strong enemies or other unstoppable circumstances, they often disperse and turn to flee. Upon entering the ’Escape’ status, Movement Speed +15% (+5%). No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]

[Quick Jab: Although Goblin Spear Throwers carry a large basket full of spears on their backs, spears will eventually run out. When only the last spear remains, they will use it to engage in melee combat with the enemy. However, because they spend most of their time practicing throwing techniques, they are not proficient in melee combat.

When engaging in melee combat, Goblin Spear Throwers tend to rush at enemies and make quick, random jabs, Attack Speed +15% (+5%). No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]

[Lightning Triple Attack: Goblin Spear Throwers charge their spears with Lightning Power and swiftly throw three spears in succession at the enemy. The first spear inflicts 110% (+5%) Physical Damage, the second spear inflicts 120% (+5%) Physical Damage, and the third spear inflicts 130% Physical Damage.

If they successfully hit the target, each throw will additionally inflict 20% (+5%) Lightning Damage. Cooldown one minute, consumes 30 Energy Points.]

"Goblin Spear Thrower, a First Tier 2 Star Elite Monster, indeed possesses the strength of a First Tier Three Stars. Moreover, although their skills are similar to those of the one-star Big Saber Goblin, they are stronger in every aspect..."

Although the skills had indeed been enhanced, this was not the focus of Zhang Yanhang’s attention. Instead, he focused on the feet of the Goblin Spear Throwers, where, as described in the Talent, an unusual transformation had occurred, almost resembling miniature Dragon Claws.

"I wonder if these things could be used as materials for refining medicine if I chop them off?"

As the most obvious external feature of the Giant Dragon Bloodline, Zhang Yanhang felt that these claws of the Goblin Spear Thrower must have some value.

"Also, the introduction states that this Goblin Spear Thrower is from the Nusha Tribe. I remember the first Big Saber Goblin I encountered was from the Nu Feng Tribe. Nu Mountain, Nu Feng, Nusha, are all the tribe names here starting with ’Nu’? It sounds very reckless, and it indeed is reckless."

As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he casually grabbed a spear thrown by a Goblin Spear Thrower. The material was nothing special, and the spear was rather short. Instead of a spear, it felt more like a javelin to him; with a slight squeeze of his hand, the seemingly metal spear was easily snapped in two.

Looking at the Big Saber Goblin that had taken the opportunity to come over and attack him while he was checking the Goblin Spear Thrower’s Attribute list, Zhang Yanhang showed no reaction, merely continuing to check the Attribute list.

"It seems, the Lightning Double Strike from the previous Big Saber Goblin has evolved into a Lightning Triple Attack in this Goblin Spear Thrower, which is quite impressive. Besides becoming a three-stage attack, even the base damage has increased by 5%.

Now, the combined damage from the triple attack can cause 360% damage, which seems much stronger. Although it still can’t penetrate my defense, just being a creature ranked second to last in Goblin Plain having such skills implies that other Goblins must have even stronger abilities."

Zhang Yanhang thought that he might have underestimated the Dragon Vein Goblins before, thinking they were much weaker than the Crimson Iron Ants. But now, it seems, the Dragon Vein Goblins are not weak at all; on the contrary, they are quite strong.
