62: One-sided massacre
There were Goblins holding longbows, carrying quivers full of arrows on their backs.
They stood in position, their movements identical, quickly nocking arrows onto their bowstrings, pulling back with full force, ready to shoot.
At the same time, a neat, uniform rumbling of footsteps sounded.
A group of Goblin elite warriors, wearing exquisite silver armor and clearly identifiable as Goblins by their outlines and shapes, emerged from a formation, holding greatswords.
They were full of oppressive presence!
Unlike the initial cannon fodder, it was clear at a glance that they had undergone extensive training.
In addition, there were Goblin Assassins dressed like thieves, their hoods covering most of their faces, revealing only their noses and ears, tightly gripping daggers, and known for their speed.
From this, Chen Ming easily concluded that the place this teleportation gate led to was highly likely a large Goblin nest.
It might even be a Goblin Kingdom!
"Everyone, fall back!"
He pressed the intercom on his shoulder and ordered, "Helicopters are responsible for cover."
They retreated while firing.
Right after assigning the task to the armed helicopter pilots, the Captain quickly took out a satellite phone and called the higher-ups in Jiang City, requesting support.
He told them that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before they were completely wiped out and lost control due to the disparity in numbers!
"The arrow rain is coming! Everyone quickly hide under the shields!" The Vice Captain observed the situation, constantly changing tactics to minimize casualties as much as possible.
The Special Ops Soldiers responsible for shield defense just now, after receiving the order, raised their shields one after another, combining them to form a giant protective umbrella above their heads.
The arrows were quite powerful, leaving a white pit easily on the riot shields and causing a strong vibration.
It was thanks to everyone working together that they managed to dissipate that force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky.
After confirming that the team had retreated to a safe area unaffected by the explosions.
Several armed helicopters coordinated with each other, aiming at the areas with the highest concentration of Goblins, firing missile after missile.
The missiles were powerful, causing destructive effects on the Goblins' armor and equipment, tearing them open and blowing them away.
Their physical resilience far exceeded the pilots' estimations.
They quickly climbed back up from the ground, wearing tattered, deformed silver armor, and merged back into the torrent-like army.
They charged towards the Special Ops Soldiers, attempting to kill them one by one!
Unlike Zombies, humans, in the eyes of Goblins, are not preferred for filling their stomachs; they prefer to use them to satisfy their killing desires.
The desire to kill humans was ingrained in their bones.
After firing over a dozen missiles, who would have thought that the number of Goblins not only didn't decrease but actually increased?
Goblins wearing armor and holding shields charged at the forefront, acting as meat shields to block bullets.
The rest of the Goblins seized the opportunity to throw the stone axes in their hands or shoot long arrows.
Or, they used their incredibly high movement speed to close the distance with the Special Ops Soldiers in the blink of an eye.
Taking advantage of the opponent being stunned and unable to react, they skillfully swung their dual daggers, cutting a deep, bone-revealing X-shaped wound on him.
Chen Ming was very certain that facing the Goblin army, the Special Ops Soldiers were completely at a disadvantage, and being completely slaughtered was only a matter of time.
Bang! Boom!
The Mecha landed heavily, appearing out of thin air, the shockwave it generated causing dust to spread over a dozen meters and stirring up pebbles.
Chen Ming had originally planned to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada, but since they couldn't achieve that.
Chen Ming no longer wasted time. He took action himself!
He gripped and drew the Shotgun worn at his waist, pulling the trigger.
A Shotgun blast went out, like a meat grinder, causing heavy casualties to the Goblin legion.
【Successfully killed Goblin! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +5!】
【Successfully killed Knight Goblin! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +10!】
【Successfully killed Goblin Archer! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +7!】
【Successfully killed Assassin Goblin! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +8!】
...
Rewards refreshed quickly.
How fast? So fast it was blurry!
"Mecha?!"
"Where did that huge guy come from? Did any of you see clearly?"
"No, it just appeared suddenly in the blink of an eye."
"Wait! Isn't this the Mecha Celestial that's been causing a stir on the internet recently!"
"Yes! That's right! It's him, those two swords, and the Shotgun, they're exactly the same."
"Great, we're saved!"
Ignoring the presence of the Special Ops Soldiers.
Facing the Goblins who raised their greatswords, released their bowstrings, shooting a large number of arrows, and those who concealed their presence, attempting to Go around behind, launch assassination attempts on him.
Chen Ming decisively pulled the trigger for the second shot.
Bang!
The sound of the gun shocked everyone, including Chen Ming.
The Goblin hit by the Shotgun blast actually turned into pieces of bright red rose petals, fluttering in the wind.
There was no blood, no corpses, only a sea of flowers, and a refreshing, fragrant scent that assailed them.
'How could this be?' Chen Ming wondered.
He didn't remember the danger wanderer's exclusive weapon having such a function.
His hands didn't stop moving, slapping those Assassin Goblins apart at the bones!
'Right! Could it be that S-Class Skill called Lucky Bullet that I fished up last night!'
Chen Ming suddenly recalled.
"So, the surprise is that after hitting a target, it makes the opponent disappear like flower petals? It's quite beautiful and artistic," he joked.
But more than that, what Chen Ming cared about was whether Undead could be extracted after the corpses turned into petals?
【Extracting...】
【Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Goblin +189!】
【Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Knight Goblin +77!】
【Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Goblin Archer +30!】
...
It turned out his worry was completely unnecessary.
Unlike before, after extraction, the Undead did not immediately descend into this world; after all, so many pairs of eyes were watching.
They were directly stored in the shadow space, and when needed, he would summon them as thugs to fight for him.
Bang bang bang bang...
Neat, earth-shattering footsteps sounded once again.
The teleportation gate was still continuously sending various Goblins over.
There was a momentum like a Zombie tide breaking out!
Chen Ming wasn't polite at all, pulling the trigger.
Bang!
The muzzle flashed with fire.
This time, within the attack area covered by the weapon, the Goblins did not turn into a sky full of petals as before; instead, they turned into dust, dissipating with the wind.
'So, the effect triggered by Lucky Bullet is not just roses!'
Thinking about it, as an S-Class Skill, if it only had one kill effect of roses, it truly wouldn't be worthy of the S-Rank.
"What's going on? Why do the enemies hit by him either turn into petals or become yellow sand?"
"Don't look at me, I don't know."
"Why do you care, as long as it can eliminate those monsters! Haven't you heard the saying? The enemy of your enemy is your friend."
"Speaking of which, don't you think it's strange?"
"Strange? What's strange?"
The person who asked the question continued, "These guys are so small, yet the teleportation gate is so big. Is there a possibility that behind the door, a Goblin King with a much larger body and strength that crushes all the cannon fodder is hidden?"
"Bah bah bah, why are you saying such inauspicious things."
Bang! Bang! Bang...
While they were talking, the ground-shaking caused by the footsteps transmitted through their feet, reaching their entire bodies and rushing to their heads!
