Dark Blood Path

They all had plain wooden spears made of large wooden sticks and fruit knives. Although these makeshift weapons were a bit crude, they were still practical, especially when fighting those small skinny goblins. The spear length of two meters was enough to suppress the monsters easily.

Followed by a rushing sound, Yunyun came out from the bushes where everyone was hiding. At this point, she was very nervous and excited at the same time. Her face was flushed, her gorgeous eyes were filled with an unfathomable frenzy, and her heart was racing as if she was going to die in the next second. Her heart skipped beats like it was about jump out of her chest, proving just how terrified she felt, yet she still strode forward recklessly. Yunyun never thought that one day she, too, would confront such monsters head-on.

The crowd met with the goblins as the battle was on the verge of breaking out. The strange screams of the goblins and the heated cries of humans intertwined together.

Yunyun didn’t find a suitable target at first, but it didn’t take long for an ugly goblin peon to approach her, screaming strangely, and rushed towards her immediately. Its speed was not fast, but its appearance was very scary.

Yunyun was terrified, and at this moment, she had a strong urge to turn around and run away, yes! Escape, escape as far as possible, escape from here, escape from this battle, escape from this group of terrifying monsters… But just then, a chilly and calm voice reappeared in her consciousness.

“You don’t need to underestimate yourself. In fact, you have great potential, no worse than Jin shi and Wang Chao. The most important thing is that you become aware enough to attempt and get stronger. It’s better to control your own destiny than to leave it in the hands of others… Don’t you think it’s a real pity to give up before trying?”

Can I really take charge of my own destiny like he said?

Such thoughts crept her mind. She understood that if she retreated here today, she would be greatly disappointed with herself.

Yunyun’s heart was suddenly agitated. She let out a loud cry and mustered up the courage to charge forward. The goblin peon’s club was a bit short and could only reach her if she got closer. Yunyun calculated the distance carefully, then swung her arms with all her effort, and the fruit knife that was connected to the end of the makeshift spear cut across the goblin peon’s chest, leaving a shallow wound.

The wound was obviously not lethal, but the severe poison already surged through the goblin’s body along its veins. Now, she only had to carefully evade its attacks while keeping a safe distance from her opponent. Then after a dozen seconds passed, the goblin peon couldn’t keep its balance anymore. Using the wooden spear in her hands, she fought from a distance making sure to avoid most of its attacks, and finally, with a lethal strike, the wooden spear penetrated its throat, severing a major artery, and green blood flowed out like a fountain, staining her garments green.

“I’ve done it; I really killed a monster!”

Yunyun absorbed the essence, and then slowly, she felt the obvious increase in her strength. Her confidence and courage soared immediately, and she could clearly feel the high tension in her chest and the violent beating of her heart. Her face flushed again, and her whole body was covered with thick sticky green blood, but she felt no discomfort; there was even a vague sense of weird pleasure she had never felt before.

She quite liked this kind of feeling, though if she was not careful, she may get addicted to it and have her life at risk. The sense of life and death was really exhilarating and exciting, and even more exciting was the joy and pride one felt after defeating his foe, as well as the increase in strength accompanied—This was the thrill of battle!

Yunyun’s breathing got heavier as her eyes gradually changed. Again, she quickly located the next goblin peon that was alone. Only this time, she no longer had that initial fear and instead rushed forward to attack!

In general, the strength of the people present was not bad, and it was easy for each person to take on one or two goblin peons by themselves. As a result, the tide of battle swiftly shifted in their favor as one goblin after another got poisoned, and one goblin after another fell down amidst ugly howls.

On the human side, as the goblins fell, their strength gradually increased, and more and more people, like Yunyun, completely got rid of their fear of monsters. Only a significant transformation will aid you after entering this environment, and the more you struggle, the braver you become, and the greater your fighting spirit will be.

Xiao Yu killed several goblin peons in a row, and only then did he confront a goblin warrior. Being in the late stage of elementary level, his speed and strength were several times higher than the opponent. After six or seven rounds of exchange, the goblin warrior was sliced by his sword. The three warriors around, probably aware of his strength, gave up on chasing the other humans and attacked him instead. In an instant, Xiao Yu’s black eyes turned blood red. He then waved his blade like a whirlwind, deflecting every blow. After a few strikes, he found his enemies’ flaws, used two blade strikes to slice the throats of two of them, and the third goblin warrior soon found itself at a disadvantage.

At that moment, Han Kexin just stabbed a peon to death with her short spear and was passing by his side.

Xiao Yu shouted, “Miss Han, right here!” he cut off the goblin warrior’s right arm after finishing his sentence, seized its neck with his left hand, and flung it over there. The goblin warrior was thrown directly toward Han Kexin.

“Thanks!”

Han Kexin gave her thanks and pierced the flying goblin with her spear. A ball of energy burst out and split into two halves, most of which was sucked into her eyebrows. A surging force erupted from her body in an instant, like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years, as golden rays of silk protruded from her body, and her figure quickly got wrapped inside a golden cocoon.

She was finally going to evolve!

Wang Chao and the others all showed some envy in this scene.

At this moment, a goblin warrior in the distance swung out an axe and threw it at Han Kexin, who was going through advancement. Xiao Yu kicked his feet on the ground and shot at the golden cocoon like a cannonball, blocking in front of her with a wave of his blade and deflecting the axe. After that, he cut down another two peons who were planning a sneak attack.

Jiang Xiaowen took this chance to sneak up on the goblin warrior who had thrown the axe. She pierced its back with a spear from behind and pushed its body forward a few steps before pinning the monster to a huge tree. The goblin warrior’s face was distorted as it let out a loud howl of pain, even though its vitals were unharmed. Jiang Xiaowen wasn’t timid anymore, yet she still became pale with fright at the sound of this roar and unintentionally released her grip from the spear, retreating a short distance.

The goblin warrior grasped the short spear with both hands and was about to pull it out.

“Kill!”

Jiang Xiaowen’s heart hardened, then she reached out behind her back and pulled out a wooden club. She clenched her teeth and rushed forward, waving her hands around and hitting the goblin on its skull with the weapon as powerful blows stormed the monster. Just then, under the full force of the club, a ‘bang’ sound was heard before the goblin’s head exploded. Jiang Xiaowen shouted again, then swung down with her arms and landed another blow, finally breaking the goblin’s head altogether.

A ball of energy the size of a ping-pong ball was sucked into her forehead. After absorbing all that power, golden threads of silk stretched out from all around her body, wrapping Jiang Xiaowen’s entirely.

She also evolved!

Another advancement in the team!

There were only two to three goblin warriors left. Wang Chao and Jin Shi each led four others to entangle them. Although those goblins were powerful, they were no match for this number of people. Jin Shi and Wang Chao’s suppression caused many injuries to surface in the monsters’ bodies, and the poisoning effect heightened bit by bit. They would have fallen over long ago if they had been ordinary goblin peons instead.

As the goblins were eliminated one by one, their essence was separated into various portions and absorbed, and everyone’s fighting spirit steadily rose, especially with the addition of two more elementary realm experts to their team, which was undoubtedly encouraging.

With their low intelligence, the remaining goblins finally realized that if they continued, there would be nothing for them but annihilation, and they started retreating. Just when everyone thought victory was in their hands, a loud and deep cry reverberated from the goblin village, and the sound spread throughout the sky above the forest. Originally running away in fear, all the goblins suddenly became active once again.

At the entrance of the Goblin village, four extraordinarily strong goblin warriors appeared, leading dozens of peons, and they were slowly coming out. On the shoulders of the four Goblin warriors, there was a wooden log, carrying one each, as they all supported something together.

It was a plain wooden board, and a different sort of goblin was seated on it. Its body was very burly, almost as big as an adult human, wearing a simple red linen robe, without any weapons on its body, as a pair of ferocious eyes gazed at everyone.

Xiao Yu was startled then he spoke, “This is the flame goblin!”

Han Kexin’s golden cocoon burst open, and she walked out amidst a layer of looming red mist. The wounds accumulated over the past few days were all healed, and her skin became much white and softer. Her black hair that reached her waist had turned into a beautiful pink color, her body looked even more enchanting and graceful, her pair of watery eyes were full of light, as if she was teasing people at every moment, and her face became more charming and seductive—she was three points more beautiful than before.

But under her seductive appearance, a ferocious aura was lurking. Everyone present could vaguely smell a bloody scent in the air, and even the goblin warriors present were slightly taken aback and stopped their movements.

Was the bloody queen who was famous throughout his previous life and stunned the world with her beauty finally about to appear?

Han Kexin’s current strength has increased several times compared to before!

Wang Chao was stunned at her transformation, “Is this really our teacher Han? Why did her appearance change so much!”

She looked like she was reborn, and she carefully started exploring every change in her body. Her coquettish pink eyes shimmered, and there was an indescribable charm in them; then, her attractive rosy lips moved slightly as she murmured: “This is the elementary level power?” She looked at Xiao Yu again, smiled, and said charmingly, “Xiao Yu, thank you for protecting me just now.”

“Roar–!”

The flame goblin seemed to be extremely angry as it let out a loud roar. The goblin warriors and the other peons seemed to have received the order to charge and rushed toward their enemies at the edge of the forest. At this time, its tall body flew down from its seat, and the moment its feet landed on the ground, it raised its right hand, and with a ‘bang’, a ball of jumping and flickering flame materialized right from its palm.
