Chapter 4 - 2: Equipment Comes from Fighting

Hang Yu scanned the four individuals in order with a glance.A middle-aged man, a young man with dyed yellow hair, a pretty young woman, and finally a rotund Fatty who was so large that it was difficult for him to move through the dense forest, causing him to trail behind the others at a certain distance.

The men were all shirtless and wearing big shorts.

The woman was wearing a vest-style slip dress.

One couldn’t help but say, those fair, long legs and ample bosom were a bit eye-catching, making one’s eyes hurt — it was quite a sight!

But in this situation, who had the mood to care about that?!

In the blink of an eye, unexpectedly quick!

An arrow shot out from the bushes.

Fatty screamed as he was hit in the back and fell to the ground.

His expression was utterly contorted with pain and fear, yet driven by a strong desire to survive, he struggled to get up and continue fleeing.

The monsters appeared!

Two green-skinned figures chased out of the dense forest.

Humanoid, about 1.4 meters tall, with pointed ears, green skin, their expressions ferocious, filled with wildness!

One was relatively thin, holding a short crossbow, the other slightly bulkier, wielding a black wooden stick.

The two monsters were small in stature but quite agile, emitting frog-like cries, their faces full of bloodthirstiness and ferocity, instilling a chill down one’s spine.

People living in an era of advanced science and peace.

Had they ever seen such creatures?

How could they not be terrified?

Fatty screamed like a slaughtered pig: "Help me! Help me! Don’t leave me!"

Hang Yu quickly reacted, immediately shouting: "Dodge quickly!"

As he spoke.

He dashed out.

He actually rushed over, attempting to save a life.

As for the others, they were already scared out of their wits, their companion’s sharp cries and pleas for help like the sound of a death knell, the middle-aged man and the young guy with yellow hair didn’t even look back, instead running even faster. Only the young girl, who looked like a university student, hesitated, stopped, and turned to look back.

But this glance almost scared her to death.

For at the very moment Hang Yu shouted and moved, and the girl turned and paused.

The second arrow from the green-skinned monster was already released, piercing through Fatty’s neck, blood gushing wildly, silencing his cries for help.

Fatty fell to the ground once more.

An arrow through the chest!

An arrow through the throat!

Even with a team of doctors, it was no use.

Fatty’s life was exceptionally tenacious, clutching his throat with both hands, writhing in pain, struggling to crawl forward, still trying to escape...

The next second.

The wooden stick came hurtling through the air, striking his head heavily.

A hair-raising sound of skull-cracking rang out!

His skull burst like a watermelon being smashed, the farthest shard landing five meters away. Who would’ve thought the short green monster wielding a black wooden stick could have such terrifying brute strength!

The young girl was scared pale.

In that brief pause of two or three seconds, the other three had already run twenty meters away.

Thus, the next attack target of the two green-skinned monsters fell on her, the nearest one.

Whoosh!

She hadn’t taken two steps when.

Her smooth, fair long leg was shot!

The intense pain was almost no different from reality!

The young girl screamed as she fell to the ground, and the green-skinned monster quickly rushed over, raising the wooden stick dripping with sticky blood.

She was about to follow in Fatty’s footsteps and have her head smashed on the spot.

It’s over!

Completely over!

The fear at this moment was beyond words.

It was a sensation like falling into an abyss, suffocating and hopeless.

Jiang Nan was just a well-behaved student, always the apple of her family’s eye, cherished and adored as a top student or beautiful goddess.

She’d never fallen into such terrifying crisis?

She had never been so close to death!

It turned out that no matter who you were, in the face of death, you were fragile and insignificant.

As Jiang Nan was nearly completely despairing, a figure rushed over as fast as a sprinter, crashing into the green-skinned monster and knocking it aside, fiercely stabbing the wooden stick into the monster’s left eye.

What’s going on?

Jiang Nan could hardly believe it!

Someone actually came to her rescue?

Wasn’t he afraid of the terrifying green-skinned monster?

He was a young man around twenty-three or four years old.

Of medium build, neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, not particularly handsome, but clean-looking and kind-faced, otherwise unremarkable.

Hang Yu couldn’t save Fatty, couldn’t help bursting out a curse: "Damn, just two weak-ass goblins, and there are so many of you, what are you all so scared of?!"

Indeed.

Hang Yu knew what the green-skinned monsters were.

They were a kind of low-level monster called goblins.

The burly goblin with the wooden stick was known as the [Goblin Gatherer].

The thinner goblin with the short crossbow was the [Goblin Patrol Soldier].

These two were just level 1 ordinary Spirit Realm monsters, not particularly difficult to deal with. But things happened too suddenly.

He hadn’t even moved when Fatty was shot, and by the time he rushed over, it was too late to save Fatty, so he could only barely save the girl.

The Goblin Patrol Soldier raised its crossbow and fired an arrow.

Low-level ordinary monsters weren’t very intelligent, so their attacks were pretty straightforward, as long as you timed it right to dodge early, such attacks weren’t hard to avoid.

What Jiang Nan saw next was an unforgettable sight.

After bravely knocking down and injuring a green-skinned monster, the young man, almost instinctively, performed a quick side-step, just narrowly dodging the arrow that brushed past his shoulder, embedding in the tree trunk behind him, a perfect evasion!

I’ve never seen such a brave person!

I’ve never seen such a sharp person!

It made her almost forget the pain and fear for a moment.

Hang Yu couldn’t give the goblin gatherer a chance to stand up, otherwise, with the combination of long-range and close combat, the situation would be very unfavorable. He must quickly deal with the one on the ground.

He rushed over and stomped on the gatherer’s chest.

The power of a combat profession talent is far superior to ordinary people!

With one stomp, several ribs broke directly, and green blood spurted from the goblin’s mouth, but this guy was also ferocious, screeching and waving a wooden stick to counterattack.

Hang Yu quickly dodged the swinging stick, pulled out the stick stuck in the left eye, and accurately stabbed it into the right eye. Due to excessive force, this temporary weapon broke directly, with half of the stick deeply embedded in the goblin’s brain.

The goblin gatherer died!

At the moment of death, a faint spiritual mist floated out and was absorbed into Hang Yu’s body, giving his spirit a jolt.

Another whistling sound attacked!

Hang Yu quickly crouched low, an arrow with gusts of wind brushed past his hair, his legs suddenly pushed, like a leopard pouncing, rushing quickly, rolling forward, avoiding the third arrow, and sliding next to the goblin.

A sweeping leg knocked the goblin down.

When Hang Yu picked up a large moss-covered stone.

The goblin patrol soldier put down the crossbow and pulled out a short knife from behind its waist.

Hang Yu raised the big stone.

But the goblin’s knife speed was faster, stabbing into Hang Yu’s abdomen.

Ouch!

Burning pain!

That green dwarf really went for it!

One stab might have pierced my kidney!

Endure it, must endure it, absolutely can’t be affected.

Right now, I’m like an undying Xiaoqiang, one stab can’t possibly kill me!

Thinking this, Hang Yu, gritting his teeth against the pain, swung the big stone in his hand, smashing it onto the goblin’s face, "Dare to stab my kidney, see how I smash your face!"

Once, twice, three times.

Green blood splattered, violent scene, not suitable for children!

The goblin patrol soldier finally died, releasing a wisp of spiritual mist, absorbed by Hang Yu’s body, making him feel fuller, as if this spiritual qi could enhance him.

Done!

Hang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

On the bodies of the two goblins, each hovered a light orb.

Huh, luck is not bad, getting something from both, the drop rate for ordinary monsters is not usually high.

Hang Yu picked up the slightly larger light orb dropped by the goblin patrol soldier, a short knife appeared in his hand, less than two feet, very simple and crude, but given the current situation, it was considered a decent weapon.

[Inferior Goblin Short Knife], gray lower-grade quality, physical attack +1, durability 10, level 1, (bringing it back to reality requires consuming a gray crystal stone)

Not bad, not bad!

Starting off with nothing but underwear, all equipment relies on the fight.

Getting a weapon so quickly, Hang Yu was quite satisfied!

In the small light orb dropped by the goblin gatherer, there was a small gray spirit realm crystal stone.

Though not getting equipment was a bit disappointing, the spirit realm crystal stone was also very useful.

This is a thing formed from the spiritual essence concentrated in the spirit realm creature’s body, with very broad uses, and is the hard currency of the spirit realm, which can be used as currency in the future, Hang Yu casually tossed it into his backpack.

Hang Yu didn’t feel much during the battle.

Every move seemed to come from some instinct.

Now completely relaxed, suddenly realizing, feeling a bit unwell.

Oh my, how did I get so fierce? It’s like Li Yuanba has possessed me!

The goblin is indeed not strong, but strength is relative, isn’t it?

In modern city life, not to mention encountering monsters that can shoot through the heart with an arrow, or explode the skull with a club, if you met a rabid dog biting people on the roadside, the first reaction would be to run for your life, right?

Who has ever seen someone go up and wrestle with a mad dog?

This might be someone who escaped from Cyan Mountain Mental Hospital!

Even if goblins are weak, they are several times more dangerous than mad dogs, but Hang Yu didn’t even think, just rolled up his sleeves and fought, definitely not a normal person’s reaction!

Could it be the vast experience in his mind led to this?

Due to these memories, Hang Yu had no fear of monsters, among which included basic combat skills and experience, thus he could easily deal with these two monsters... this seems to be the only reasonable explanation!

It seems the innate skills, which seemed useless, are the biggest trump card.

The experience and memory it provides Hang Yu is invaluable!

At least it allows Hang Yu to stay ahead of others everywhere.

Hang Yu packed up the spoils and walked to the girl, checking on her injuries.

Have to say, this little sister is a great beauty who can make people shine no matter the environment.

About twenty years old, with standard long straight black hair, about one meter sixty-five, black hair draped over her shoulders, with snow tender skin, delicate features, possessing a unique graceful gentleness of Jiangnan beauties.

A simple vest-style slip dress almost couldn’t hold her firm and full outline, a pair of straight long legs, with nearly perfect lines, very well-proportioned and slender like chopsticks.

Whether in figure or looks, she’s undoubtedly a 9-point goddess!

Alas, the world always has people who can make a living on looks alone, making you only sigh at the unfairness of fate.

The girl was obviously scared out of her wits, also due to the leg injury, suffering both fear and pain, looking pitiful with tears streaming down her face.

"Shut up, stop crying, do you want to attract other monsters?" Hang Yu rolled his eyes with annoyance, "This little injury is nothing, get up quickly!"

Is this really a small injury?

The thigh has a hole shot through!

Jiang Nan felt very aggrieved in her heart, but Hang Yu’s words scared her, immediately closing her mouth.

Finished.

This forest is so dangerous.

With injuries like this, how will I survive next?

The other two survivors returned, and upon seeing the two green monster corpses, and Hang Yu covered in green blood, all showed deep shock and admiration.

Wow, is this still a human?

How did he do it?

He nearly killed two monsters with bare hands!
