42 Venus Four - Part 2 (2/2)
The sword goblin eventually raised its sword at Shi Hui and spoke angrily in goblin language as if it wanted to pick a fight with her. Yue Wen nodded her head when Shi Hui looked to her for guidance and she went forward to face the sword goblin.
Meanwhile, Jing Ru had her sights pointed at the dagger goblin at all times. However as she was focusing on it, the goblin seemed to realise her presence and actually smiled back at her.
Jing Ru was totally confounded. ”Did the goblin really know my position or does it just happen to smile at me?” The thoughts started to give her cold sweat. While it was true that she was a marksmen, all she had been doing was hitting items that did not retaliate back. Still, she gritted her teeth and maintained her calm using one of Gunning Giraffe's skills, the Stoic Giraffe.
By initiating the skill, Stoic Giraffe, she maintained her emotions with her pulse and breathing stabilised. Fortunately, Jing Ru was able to keep her calm in time as a dagger came flying towards her. With a skillful shot, her pellet came in direct contact with the flying dagger. The dagger recoiled from the mid-air collision with the chi-powered pellet and it dropped onto the ground.
”So he does know where I am located.” Jing Ru exhaled a heavy breath and reloaded another pellet into her Winterwolf rifle. She knew that what the goblin did was to warn her not to have any 'smart' ideas against the two duels as it was watching her closely.
”For goblins, they seem quite honourable for this fight.” Jin casually commented which made almost every customer in the store puke blood.
”Boss, if you know what they did to me, you will reconsider your words...” one of the customers replied.
”I once had a nightmare about goblins and Boss, the goblins were from your store. I think I will not see goblins the same way ever again.” Another customer added.
”Boss, do you have a fever when you said that? If so, please take your medicine.” Almost every other customer tried to reply sarcastically to Boss Jin but their eyes never left the screen as the duels between the Venus Four members and the goblins began.
Jia Ying gave a straight strike towards the goblin to test its abilities. Sometimes, a play of strength was all that's needed to conclude the fight but the goblins are only that honourable in their word to fight solo.
The spear goblin slides its spear along Jia Ying's strike the moment her hand was extended and decided to attack her rear. ”Hmph! You indeed have skills to foresee my play of strength was actually a feint! Yue Wen might be right after all! I could be able to find a more worthy opponent with monsters than men.”
The straight strike was indeed a feint as a blast of energy from the spear was released at the tip of the spear. If the goblin had head on against Jia Ying, the energy blast would have gotten him and knocked him back.
Even if he could have resisted it, it was enough to give Jia Ying an attack of opportunity to deal additional damage to the enemy.
Jia Ying responded to the goblin's counterattack by going with the flow of the straight strike. Her spear pulled her forward to evade the attack from the goblin.
Unfortunately, the goblin was not fast enough to respond and she got away to the other side of the clearing. The battle got even more intense from here on.
