The demon monk in the second dimension

The four nodded: their mission was actually to rescue these villagers.

"Ah."

As the four adventurers comforted the villagers who had been violated by goblins and led them away, Xia Zhi built a fence to trap the goblin cubs in the cave.

Then he dragged over the corpses of the goblins that had been killed.

There are 4 goblin cubs, 1 adult goblin, 1 goblin shaman, and 16 regular goblins.

There are 22 in total.

At this time, apart from the summer solstice, there was no one around.

Ignoring the goblin cubs' cries and pleas for mercy, he severed their limbs, placed the four goblin cubs among the goblin corpses, and began to circulate his Soul Devouring Technique.

"Hiss, hiss... hiss, hiss..."

With rhythmic breathing, the soul of the dead goblin was sucked into Xia Zhi's mouth.

Meanwhile, the torches placed around the summer solstice flickered with bright red flames.

The shadow of the summer solstice flickered incessantly under the light of the dancing flames, both terrifying and eerie.

He continued to operate the Soul Devouring Technique.

"Hiss, hiss..."

A few minutes later, the wailing of the goblin cubs inside the cave gradually subsided and disappeared.

Four slightly dim, but much brighter than the souls of ordinary goblins, small souls were absorbed by Xia Zhi.

The souls of these goblin cubs possess a light as bright as that of a goblin shaman!

This is an evil technique that absorbs the souls of newly born beings, who are still "pure" souls.

Ordinary demonic cultivators use evil techniques to cultivate life-giving souls, employing human infants—the most evil of all evil paths.

But goblin cubs don't matter!

Just as humans don't feel a strong sense of guilt for eating lamb or roast suckling pig.

The same applies to goblins.

Xia Zhi sometimes felt that practicing demonic techniques was like playing a game.

You gain experience and level up simply by killing, much like many RPGs and action games.

It's still the kind of extremely hardcore game that would never pass censorship in China due to its excessive gore and violence.

Just like this time, after he consumed the souls of this wave of goblins, the Soul Devouring Technique within his body suddenly began to accelerate.

As one soul after another was transformed into true energy, the true energy in Xia Zhi's dantian became thicker and more solid, like a thin rope woven from strands of hair.

True Qi is as strong as a rope; Qi Refining reaches the ninth level!

Next, he gathered the goblin corpses together and painstakingly pulled out their spines to strengthen the six bone throwing knives in his hand.

As weapons, his short sword and shield had already been upgraded to their maximum potential, and further upgrades would be pointless.

Even though he was the reincarnation of a powerful figure in the demonic path, a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice!

The Qi used during the Qi Refining stage is called True Qi, while the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators use Magic Power.

Many magical arrays and artifacts require magical power as a foundation for their creation, which cannot be replaced by true qi.

Basic methods like strengthening bone weapons and drawing "Jia Ma Talismans" are not considered proper weapon crafting or talisman making at all.

Xia Zhi also sighed: How many centuries has it been since I last did such a low-level operation?

……

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xia Zhi also ate a meal with wheat cakes and water before rushing back to the Adventurers' Guild.

The four new adventurers also had to send the villagers back to the village where the emergency mission was issued, and they were not as fast as he was when he used the Armored Horse Talisman.

"Goblin Slayer San!"

Seeing Xia Zhi walk into the Adventurers' Guild, the receptionist, who was still a little worried about the new adventurer, immediately smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"how's it going?"

Xia Zhi, wearing a metal helmet, nodded to her.

"Yes, we made it. We encountered a goblin shaman and a big goblin, but the team suffered no casualties."

"Goblin Shaman and Big Goblin?"

Upon hearing this, the counter staff member covered her mouth in surprise, feeling extremely fortunate.

"Thank goodness for Goblin Slayer San!"

Otherwise, this rookie adventurer team would definitely have been wiped out.

After chatting with the counter staff for a while, Xia Zhi asked another question.

"Any quests related to goblins?"

"some."

The saleswoman pulled a task sheet out of the counter.

"This is the mission order we just received. Merchants in the south have discovered a tunnel on the grasslands that serve as a trade route, and there are many goblin footprints next to it."

"The tunnels on the grassland, I understand."

After quickly glancing through the task list in her hand, Xia Zhi accepted the task.

Then, he approached the witch and explained his needs.

This witch, like Goblin Slayer, is a silver-rank adventurer.

She possessed a stunningly beautiful face befitting a "witch," along with a pair of breasts that seemed to burst out of her robes with immense confidence. Wearing a wizard's hat and holding a magnificent pipe, she spoke slowly and deliberately, making her quite distinctive.

"Huh? Is that so... No, it's not that, I can't do it."

After hearing Xia Zhi's request, the witch nodded and accepted the deposit he gave her.

For humankind, the most important flexible thinking is bold innovation and the rational use of tools.

If there are no conditions, then create them; if there's no way, then find a way!

For example, Xia Zhi has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and has mastered attack techniques such as "Sword Qi" and "True Qi Leaving the Body".

But sometimes, props are more effective than brute force.

For an old (cunning) devil like him, preparation is never too much.

Two days later, Xia Zhi received three scrolls from the witch after placing his urgent order.

"That completes the preparation."

He paid the remaining balance, then used the talisman to head straight for the mission location.

……

Set in a medieval magical world, this world is vast and sparsely populated.

However, there are quite a few "non-human" monsters, almost everywhere.

Furthermore, there is a demon king who commands demons and has always wanted to rule the world.

Therefore, humans rely on towns for their lives, and there are many ranches like the Cow Girl's, but no nomadic peoples exist.

Yes, they existed before. But as these nomadic peoples wandered, they would encounter disasters such as "trolls" and "large monsters" under the "dice of the gods," and slowly they would disappear into history.

Upon arriving at the grassland, the location of the mission, Xia Zhi searched for a while and soon discovered goblin footprints.

Following the footprints, Xia Zhi discovered two goblins.

The land on the grassland is moist.

Because of the abundant water absorption by the roots of grasses, the soil here contains rich moisture.

If there is any more water, these lands will turn into mud.

If you add a little soil, it will become a swamp.

The summer solstice doesn't intend to turn the grasslands into swamps, but this moisture demonstrates that if a large amount of water rushes in within a short period, the damp soil cannot absorb it quickly.

Goblins are terrestrial creatures.

Goblins who have never even been in contact with a river certainly can't swim.

After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, Xia Zhi's biggest change was not mastering the advanced Qi Refining technique of leaving the body with true Qi.

Although it might seem a bit less sophisticated, attacking with a throwing knife is essentially the same as using true energy within the range of the body's energy leaving its body.

It even saves your internal energy!

The method of separating true qi from the body, which consumes a great deal of true qi, is to be used as a trump card, not for everyday basic attacks.

Having reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, where true qi is as solid as a rope, Xia Zhi's true qi within her body was already sufficiently condensed.

In an emergency, he can condense his true energy at the location about to be attacked, providing considerable defensive power.

Therefore, Xia Zhi took off the armor that made her feel safe, but was also quite heavy.

The defensive benefits of this iron armor are no longer comparable to the speed and agility gains gained after removing the armor.

Moreover, Xia Zhi advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, greatly enhancing her five senses and gaining the ability to see in the dark, so she doesn't need to worry about being ambushed by goblins.

However, the helmet passed down from Goblin Slayer's master is still preserved.

In addition to protecting vulnerable areas, wearing a helmet is also a habit.

Perhaps for Goblin Slayer, the helmet is the real thing?

On the grassland, the lush green grass stretches as far as the eye can see.

The wind blew like waves, engulfing Xia Zhi's body.

Xia Zhi, covered in grass juice, lay on the ground like a predatory beast, crawling forward on all fours.

The grass on the grassland is indeed very lush and can support many herbivores, but it only reaches the thighs of animals at the summer solstice.

For goblins, as long as they crouch down, their bodies will be hidden by the grass.

But the summer solstice is obviously not an option.

Therefore, he used this method to approach stealthily.

His nose was filled with the scent of grass and earth.

Sometimes, even when there was goblin excrement in front of Xia Zhi, he would still calmly press it down with his body.

When Xia Zhi was less than ten meters away from the two goblins, she stopped.

He took the short bow from his back and placed two arrows on the bowstring, aiming at the two goblins that looked like guards.

A few seconds later, Xia Zhi released the taut bowstring in her hand.

Whizzing!

Chapter 11 Flooding

Two arrows fell like meteors, striking the throats of the two goblins with pinpoint accuracy.

Xia Zhi was already used to this kind of goblin death.

First, after the arrow pierces the throat, the goblin's vocal cords will be damaged, making it unable to produce a loud sound and disturb the goblins inside the cave.

Secondly, the throat is connected to the trachea.

When the throat is injured, a large amount of blood and outside air rush into the goblin's trachea, causing an embolism.

Goblins do not usually die immediately.

They would fall to the ground, clutching their throats and struggling in agony, dying of suffocation and lack of oxygen within ten seconds.

After the two goblins fell to the ground, Xia Zhi moved with lightning speed!

With a stomp of his legs on the soft ground, he unleashed a sprinting speed even faster than a cheetah, covering ten meters in a second and arriving at the goblin's cave.
