Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Slaying the Goblin Shaman

If it were someone else facing this kind of attack, normally, their lower leg would definitely sink into the soft mud beneath their feet, but Zhang Yanhang was different. Because all the kinetic energy had been absorbed by his energy shield, his position hadn’t changed at all; he was still standing firm in his original place.

Watching the faint ripples on the surface of the energy shield and the tiny sparks of electricity, Zhang Yanhang had to admit that the goblin shaman was really strong. It had successfully breached the defense of the energy shield, and the inflicted damage was even greater than that of a second-tier three-star Crimson Iron Ant King’s acid liquid fireball.

Zhang Yanhang had been keeping an eye on his shield value, and as a result, he noticed that the goblin shaman’s initial attack had knocked off three points of his shield value. The subsequent trio of attacks took away four, five, and six points, respectively—a total of eighteen points.

"It’s too powerful. The ’Activated Muscles’ skill is indeed too strong; the damage it deals is equivalent to taking six acid liquid fireballs."

Just as Zhang Yanhang was thinking this, two more goblin shamans launched their lightning four-strikes against him, causing his shield value to drop by another thirty-six points.

"It’s no good. After just three attacks, forty-eight points of my shield value have been taken off. There are fifty goblin shamans around. If they all use lightning four-strikes on me, wouldn’t that knock off nine hundred points of my shield value? That’s equivalent to one-sixth of my shield value!

In this situation, if these goblin shamans keep attacking me, they could break through my energy shield in at most six rounds. Even though their energy value is only four hundred points, and their skill that consumes ninety points of energy can be used at most four times—as well as using ’Activated Muscles’ will consume one hundred and eighty points of energy value...

But, these guys have magic recovery potions in their pockets. What they’re not short of is energy value. They could potentially grind me down to death."

Zhang Yanhang had never forgotten that all the small magic recovery potions and medium magic recovery potions he had obtained were prepared by the goblin chief shaman Maka Baga for the ordinary goblin shamans under his command.

"It’s terrifying. As expected of a Dragon Vein Goblin, is this their true strength? Indeed, monsters with ’dragon’ in their names are stronger than ordinary monsters. No, I absolutely cannot get trapped in such a cycle of continuous assault."

Zhang Yanhang immediately switched his energy shield back to its normal state and, in a flash, punched and exploded the head of the goblin shaman from the Nu Dao Tribe in front of him.

Green blood mixed with white skull fragments and murky brain tissue flew towards the sky. Most of it, strangely enough, directly smeared all over the face of another goblin shaman standing close behind the one from the Nu Dao Tribe, who had been ready to unleash another round of lightning four-strikes.

Fragments of the skull carrying a tremendous force pierced through its delicate eyelids and eyeballs, traveling along the eye socket into the brain, responsible for connecting the optic nerve, and shredded the fragile brain tissue into a pulp.

Only then did the tall, headless corpse of the goblin shaman from the Nu Dao Tribe, which was nearly two meters tall even with its head burst open, begin to slowly fall backward.

And Zhang Yanhang took advantage of the momentum to grab the shaman totem pole slipping from the powerless grasp of the shaman. He held it tight at the waist and swung it deftly like Sun Wukong, performing a ’stick flower’ maneuver before sweeping it horizontally to bisect one of the two goblin shamans that had just attacked him with lightning four-strikes.

The moment the shaman totem pole, thicker than the waist of an adult, came into contact with the goblin shaman, the muscles and skin at its waist could be seen tearing open, revealing the inside’s grayish-white pelvis, along with the lumbar vertebrae being smashed into tiny bone fragments by the totem pole in an instant.

Then, with a burst of blood fog rising, the connection between the upper and lower halves of the goblin shaman’s body was completely severed. Its upper body was flung dozens of meters away, while its lower half carried some of the force to impact the bodies of surrounding goblin shamans.

Due to the high density of Goblin Shaman positioning nearby, three Goblin Shamans immediately had their legs broken and twisted into a strange Z-shape, completely losing their ability to move.

"It seems that I’m still not proficient with Guided Shooting, only practice can fix that," Zhang Yanhang muttered. "And more importantly, it turns out I’m really not cut out for using weapons. It feels so bothersome."

Since he was in battle, Zhang Yanhang didn’t distract himself with analyzing the Soul points yield from the Goblin Shamans. Instead, he planted the Shaman Totem Pole into the ground with disdain, ensuring the base was deeply embedded and wouldn’t topple over, and then threw a punch at the last brave Goblin Shaman that dared to cast Lightning Four-Strikes on him.

Feeling the possibility of a Shield break crisis (although it was so unlikely it was almost negligible), Zhang Yanhang threw a full-force punch that blasted the upper body of the Goblin Shaman to pieces.

The broken fragments of spine and sternum, guided by the Guided Shooting skill, entered the bodies of the surrounding circle of Goblin Shamans like armor-piercing bullets fired from a sniper rifle, bringing with them tremendous kinetic energy.

Only the Goblin Shamans located behind Zhang Yanhang survived, whereas the others, the relatively luckier ones, had their skulls pierced and blasted apart by the sharp spinal fragments.

The less fortunate ones met smaller sternum fragments, which turned their bodies into sieves, with a dozen transparent holes the thickness of a finger visible from their front, through which green blood gushed out, accelerating the speed of their life’s demise.

...

Zhang Yanhang didn’t bother to count exactly how many Goblin Shamans he had just killed; anyway, it was less than ten.

Looking at the nearly forty Goblin Shamans surrounding him, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but reveal a ’kind’ smile, then directly kicked the Shaman Totem Pole that was standing next to him at one of the Goblin Shamans attempting to continue casting Lightning Four-Strikes on him.
