Chapter 452: Chapter 451: Splash Attack

With a strange popping sound, the Big Saber Goblin that was pierced by the Goblin Spear burst open, just like a pricked soap bubble.

All sorts of muscle, organ, brain tissues, and green blood, along with white bone fragments, sprayed outwards in all directions, covering a radius of tens of meters on this vibrant prairie.

Even a fragment of the Goblin greatsword—a piece that happened to be in the spear’s flight path and was struck and instantly shattered—splattered a hundred meters away.

As the first Big Saber Goblin burst, the Goblin Spear continued unabated through its body, grazing another nearby Big Saber Goblin on its right side.

Although it was merely a graze, the body part of the second Big Saber Goblin emitted the same eerie sound as the first.

The right side of its body was torn apart from the left side, instantly exploding into a miniature blood rain of flesh and tissue fragments that sprayed onto the heads of the other surrounding Big Saber Goblins.

But the spear’s slaughter didn’t stop there.

Due to the angle of its flight, the Goblin Spear only came to a stop after piercing through a Big Saber Goblin that was lying on the ground slacking off and yawned to a halt, creating a large pit in the ground where it landed.

"Successfully killed a First Tier One Star Monster ’Big Saber Goblin (Elite)’×1, Soul points+6."

"Successfully killed a First Tier One Star Monster ’Big Saber Goblin (Elite)’×1, Soul points+6."

"Successfully killed a First Tier One Star Monster ’Big Saber Goblin (Elite)’×1, Soul points+6."

Only then did the Big Saber Goblins, who weren’t directly hit by the Goblin Spear, react to the delayed sonic boom, but it was already too late.

The closest Big Saber Goblin to the two that were directly burst by the Goblin Spear, witnessing an incomprehensible scene of horror before its eyes, only thought of escaping as quickly as possible.

But it had barely turned around when it felt a sharp pain in its abdomen, accompanied by a strangely cool sensation, and it couldn’t help but spew out a large mouthful of green blood.

Looking down, this Big Saber Goblin saw that its abdomen seemed to have been pierced by some sharp object long ago.

A noticeable large hole had formed on the left side of its abdomen, where its various intestinal and kidney organs had been ground into mince. The Big Saber Goblin felt a sudden blackout and then thudded to the ground.

But perhaps it was considered lucky, as just after this Big Saber Goblin fell, a succession of sounds of bodies hitting the ground followed, accompanying it on the way to the afterlife so it wouldn’t be lonely on its journey.

Even more fortunate was that this Big Saber Goblin’s body was relatively more intact, its abdomen simply penetrated by a fragment of a spine.

The most miserable goblin in the vicinity had its entire body riddled with countless small bone fragments from the splash attack, and, unluckily, its head took a direct hit from a relatively intact skull fragment, instantly turning it into a headless corpse.

Listening to the continual kill notification sounds buzzing in his ears, Zhang Yanhang nodded with satisfaction, "This Guided Shooting unexpectedly turned out to be quite useful, even if it is not used on bullets but applied elsewhere, it can still deal a fatal blow to the enemy with its splash damage."

Indeed, the reason why Zhang Yanhang was able to target the Goblin Spear Throwers and the Big Saber Goblins so precisely with wooden spikes and bone fragments was mainly due to the First Tier Spell, Guided Shooting. Of course, his Gun Master LV.MAX’s bonus to ranged attack techniques also played a significant role.

Originally, although Zhang Yanhang’s use of splash techniques was considered decent, he couldn’t aim with precision, hitting targets only by chance. Sometimes, with good luck, he could wipe out all nearby monsters, but other times, with bad luck, he might not kill even one.

But now the situation had completely changed, as Guided Shooting turned the otherwise unstable splash attack into a consistently damaging and practical technique.

Having waited for a few seconds on the spot, the Big Saber Goblins that Zhang Yanhang had recently impaled with a Goblin Spear didn’t drop a treasure box; only the Goblin Spear Throwers that he had killed at the beginning did drop a treasure box.

After briefly sensing for its location, Zhang Yanhang kicked aside the shattered treetop on the ground and picked up a Green quality drop treasure box from beneath it, which had been covering the mangled corpse of a Goblin Spear Thrower.

As for the presence of trees on the plains, Zhang Yanhang was initially quite surprised, since he’d always believed the stereotype that grasslands were places with nothing but grass.

However, during his exploration of the Goblin Plain, he did find quite a few trees. The first Big Saber Goblin he had killed, lying on the ground feigning sleep, was actually beneath a large tree, likely seeking shade from the sun’s scorching heat.

Afterwards, Zhang Yanhang continued to find a significant number of trees, and sometimes even saw Big Saber Goblins chopping down trees with their greatswords and transporting them back to their tribal settlements to build houses, as, indeed, wooden houses are more comfortable than those made of grass.

Besides that, Zhang Yanhang also discovered that the Goblin Plain was not completely flat; it actually interspersed with minor undulations and small hills.

These slight elevations, along with the trees, served to obscure the view slightly, causing the Dragon Vein Goblins in the distance to be unable to discern things clearly, which led them to investigate in the direction of any sounds they heard.

For them, this behavior was essentially a death sentence, but for Zhang Yanhang, it was their noble sacrifice that greatly sped up his monster hunting efficiency, a commendable act indeed, just like what had happened with those Big Saber Goblins just now.
