Chapter 43: Gnomes

Name: Gnome

Information: Distant relatives to Goblins, likes living underground. Does not know what is lethargy as it constantly digs one hole after another for itself before swiftly migrating. Loves eating the stems of several different plants. Frequently forms groups to attack humans and other animals, using their corpses as fertiliser for the various plants they harvest. Also, Gnome’s have a shallow level of craftsmanship and can make leather armour and shields for themselves. During battle they will don their leather armour and shields and use the metal shovels that they usually use for digging to attack people who pass by their holes. Usually in large packs and rather frightening to face.

The ‘Eye of Perception’ on Su Yu’s left hand had activated and swiftly transmitted the information regarding these old and ugly monsters into his head. Qin Jia Gui, Zhao Shi Chang, Lin Shi and the others reacted quickly as they dropped their backpacks and got into a fighting formation.

Zhou Bi Rong lifted her pistol as she took off the safety.

Releasing Ding Shan from his back and looking at these small monsters that wore leather armour while wielded metal shovels and wooden shields, he had a weird feeling.

“Haaaa!”

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Jia Gui and Zhao Shi Chang rushed forward first. Even Zhang Zhong Mou had become a tier one dark iron warrior and this had a big impact on them. They urgently wanted to kill more monsters to promote and these short monsters did not seem very impressive and seemed suitable candidates for their slaughter.

Zhang Zhong Mou dropped the two backpacks he was carrying as he boisterously said: “Damn, I’ll let you test the abilities of this master Zhang.”

Promoting from tier zero to tier one dark iron warrior, a person would randomly comprehend one or two abilities, like Su Yu who comprehended the ‘Eye of Perception’ and ‘Rending Claw’ or Ma Zi Ye who comprehended the ‘Web of Steel’. Now that Zhang Zhong Mou had risen to tier one dark iron warrior, he naturally also comprehended some abilities.

Half his face turned to stone as he lowered his head while exclaiming: “Rock Head Cannon Pulveriser!” A crisp sound could be heard from the top of his head as he suddenly rushed forward.

“Bang!”

An Gnome wielded a wooden shield to block while its other hand swung the metal shovel forward.

“Ahhhh!”

Zhang Zhong Mou screamed as his left arm was hit by the metal shovel, fresh blood splattered while the Gnome also screamed, the wooden shield within its hand had actually been shattered by Zhang Zhong Mou’s head and its small body was sent flying through the air.

“Eh? Haha!” The pain in his left arm caused his face to be contorted but Zhang Zhong Mou suddenly felt that his ‘Rock Head Cannon Pulveriser’ was impressive as he began to laugh loudly. In the intense battle with the Golden Goblin previously, he panicked and had only used his head to smash and totally forgot about activating his ability. He was rather ashamed of this and thought that if he had used the ‘Rock Head Cannon Pulveriser’ then, the Golden Goblin would have suffered quite a bit more.

Zhou Bi Rong began to fire with her pistol, “Bang! Bang! Bang!” three shots could be heard as an Gnome began to sway before a final bullet entered its skull causing it to fall to the ground.

Su Yu stood at his original position as his left arm became covered in scales. He did not act but rather watched as Qin Jia Gui, Zhao Shi Chang, Lin Shi and the others kill the Gnomes. They were at the precipice of promoting and once they did, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds. A tier zero dark iron warrior was simply too weak.

Ma Zi Ye activated the ‘Web of Steel’ and immediately sealed the movements of two Gnomes before kicking forth with her ‘Flying Spade’.

“Chiii”
