119 They Have Gone (1/2)
After that, he shook the sword to clear the blade from the blood before he sheathed the sword back to the sheath. He then scanned the surroundings, checking on his team members.
They were doing well, the goblins were no threat even to the slave groups. After making sure everyone was okay, he looked toward a direction, toward the big steel door ahead of him.
The two goblins he killed just now were the last goblin in this big hall. They were in the deepest part of the cave, in the big area where most of the goblins gathered.
”Do you guys need a rest?” Wei Xi asked his team members while walking toward the door. Nine of the slave group in his team immediately nodded their heads. The goblins might be low-level but their numbers were not a joke.
”Good, you have ten minutes to breath!” Wei Xi shouted to them while inspecting the steel door in front of him.
His team members were relieved as they got down to the ground. If it was Tang Shaoyang, there would be no rest until they finished all goblins, including the one behind the door.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Everyone immediately looked toward Wei Xi. Their Captain was hitting the steel door with the handle of his sword, and they did not know what he tried to achieve with that.
”This is not just a random metal, it's quite hard,” He muttered in a low voice, ”Should I try to cut the door with the sword?” The man was wondering how the goblin could build a proper door made of metal while he encountered no door on the way to here.
Just as he was about to test how hard the metal door was, the gap opened in the middle. Wei Xi took three steps back as the door slowly pushed open toward him.
When the door was opened fully, he got to see the creature that pushed the door from the inside. It was the same goblin but there was something different with this goblin, they were tall, almost twice taller than the goblin they encountered just now.
What made these goblins taller was not their frame got bigger but because their feet were longer. Stick, the right word to describe their feet, skinny and long just like a stick.
[Basic Detection]

[Monster - Goblin]
Affiliation: -

Level: 34
Skill: [Strengthened Bone (Passive)]
—————————
This was what he got from casting [Basic Detection] on one of the goblins. Stronger, stage-2 evolution with a higher level.
The six goblins looked at each other upon seeing the human in their nests. They appeared to be confused.
”Grrrhhhh!” It growled at the foreign invasion and showed its big canine to him.
”Boys! We have an angry green monster here, no rest for you guys!” Wei Xi ran back while yelling to his team members to get ready for the battle. As he retreated, Wei Xi did not forget to cast [Basic Detection] on the big guy.
—————————
[Monster - Hobgoblin]
Affiliation: -
Evolution: Stage 3
Level: 45
Skill: [Strengthened Bone (Passive)] [Strengthened Flesh (Passive)]
—————————
At his yell, his team members that just rested down immediately stood up. They looked toward the same direction at where their Captain was.
The steel door was now fully opened, and a new wave of stronger goblins was lining up behind the door. The number was lesser but the size was bigger.
Wei Xi counted the number of the opponent, three Hobgoblins and twelve stage-2 Goblins in total.
Two Tarriors with bows immediately nocked the arrow into the bow and aimed at the big guy.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The arrows whistle through the air and shoot toward the Hobgoblin in the middle. The Hobgoblin raised its arm and blocked the arrow. Two arrows pierced the Hobgoblin's flesh, dangling on its arm. The Hobgoblin's other hand then easily pulled the arrow and threw it away.
”Archer targets the small one, the others protect the archer! I will take care of the big ones!” Wei Xi instructed his team to get in a defense position. He did not know how strong this stage-2 Goblin and the Hobgoblin were, so he did not take the risk to get his team to face the monster head-on.
Wei Xi took a deep breath as his hand moved to the handle of his sword. Since Tang Shaoyang appointed him as Zhang Mengyao's assistance, he was given an advanced class, Swordsman.
Groarrh!
The Hobgoblin in the middle roared as it pointed its giant cub toward Wei Xi and his group. At this roar, the twelve goblins fearlessly rushed toward the group of fourteen people.
At the same time, Wei Xi also rushed forward the goblins.
[Quick Movement]
He activated one of Swordsman's skills. Reddish aura enveloped his feet and his movement was getting faster. In the blink of an eye, he passed the pack of goblins and arrived in front of the three Hobgoblins.
He looked up, locking his eyes at the Hobgoblin's neck. Wei Xi abruptly stopped at a meter from the Hobgoblin, he leaped out.
[Quick Slash]
In the air, his sword flashed toward the Hobgoblin's neck as his figure bypassed the Hobgoblin. The three Hobgoblins seemed to catch the glimpse of his movement so they turned their head to the back.
Unfortunate for the Hobgoblin in the middle, the moment it tried to turn the head, its head fell. After the head, the body followed up.
Wei Xi landed on the ground and immediately turned his body around to face the remaining two Hobgoblins. The two Hobgoblins were shocked for a moment before it let out a furious road.
Ignoring the roar, he muttered in a low voice, ”44 seconds until [Quick Movement] is over, should be enough to finish both of them,”
The two Hoblins charged toward Wei Xi. The one on the left raised its cub while the one on the right raised the rusty ax to the air. The two slammed their weapon to Wei Xi at the same time.
Boom! Boom!
