The books Pei Renli borrowed from the library were not all magic materials, there were also many other miscellaneous books.

For example, the Monster Manual.

He would take a look at it when he was dizzy from practicing spells, so he knew the information about goblins very well. Since he couldn't play games at night, he just used it as a pastime.

Goblins usually form settlements in units of 6 to 20. Too few or too many are not conducive to survival. The combat effectiveness is basically that strong farmers can do 1v2. Occasionally, goblins can be seen using crude weapons, but that's about it.

The goblin that poked its head out of the bushes saw Pei Renli and the four of them, and was slightly startled. However, it did not run away. Instead, it raised its head and grabbed a small stone dagger ground out of a knife, and made a strange squawk at them.

Rush over.

But it is true that the Monster Manual says that the goblin's IQ is deceiving. When the goblin charged, he did not look at his feet. As a result, he was tripped by the vines on the ground. His body, which was probably as high as a human calf, rolled forward, and

There was a face stop on the ground full of fallen leaves...

"The scream is really unpleasant."

Lydia buttoned the cat ears on top of her head together, muttering in her mouth, and hit the goblin's head lying on the ground with an ax. The latter twitched and stopped moving at that time.

Therefore, goblins are one of the weakest monsters. Compared to being able to fight, their screams are already extremely lethal.

"Keep walking, the humid environment in this forest has made my hair tangled."

Everyone expressed their agreement, but Pei Renli immediately stopped them:

"Goblins are not creatures that act alone. There may be more nearby."

What's more, goblins are very timid. Due to their poor IQ, their criterion for measuring strength is quantity.

In this case, when a goblin sees the four of them, its first reaction should be to run quickly instead of rushing over.

"It doesn't matter, even an entire goblin tribe is not a threat."

Lydia still said it didn't matter, after all, the goblins were too weak.

"No, Pei Renli is right."

Half-elf Anna's ears moved. Her elven blood gave her excellent hearing.

"Something is approaching us, and there are a lot of it."

"Could it be a wild beast?"

But at the same time as they were talking, others also heard rustling sounds around them. This movement did not look like wild beasts.

Although I don't think much of the goblin's combat effectiveness, the dense sounds still give people a sense of urgency, and the sound sources come from all directions, front, rear, left, and right.

In other words, they were surrounded.

The four people immediately formed a back-to-back formation, each responsible for one side, and carefully looked behind every tree and bush around them.

The rustling sound lasted for about two or three seconds, and everyone saw another goblin emerge from the hiding place, one after another, and soon the field of vision was filled with the figures of these little green-skinned monsters.

"That's not right. The teacher specifically said that there are very few monsters around here. At most, there are wild beasts."

Pei Renli took up Moen's words and said:

"Considering the size of the goblin community, it's also very abnormal."

The number of a goblin tribe will neither be too many nor too few. This is a balance limited by the amount of food.

And the number of these goblins in front of me is not around 20 at most as written in the monster manual.

"Watch out! They're coming!"

As mentioned before, the standard for goblins to measure their strength is their numbers. If they are large in number, they will simply swarm them.

Facing these little monsters charging up with crude weapons, Pei Renli calmly stretched out his fingers and quickly left a series of runes in the air.

Immediately, the runes were activated and turned into an almost translucent spherical shield to wrap him up.

This is the mage armor, which is a very practical defensive spell. After all, this is the first real actual battle. Even if you are facing the weakest player like the goblin, it is safer to give priority to ensuring that you will not be injured.

Almost as soon as the spell was completed, several stones fell on the mage's armor, making a dull thumping sound, and then the goblin was already approaching.

There was no way, the forest environment was complicated, and by the time they found the goblin, there wasn't much distance left.

The goblin who rushed at the front stabbed him hard with a spear made from a sharpened branch.

Pei Renli turned his head to avoid it. After all, even with the protection of the mage armor, the number of goblins was a bit too much. It was best not to resist forcefully if you could.

Recalling his experience in confrontation training, Pei Renli took off the dagger from his waist and raised his hand.

His dagger was not very good, but it was still better than the goblin's weapon. This sword cut off the goblin's spearhead, and the impact also made the goblin's body tilt.

He took the opportunity to lower his body, quickly weaved runes with his left hand, and pressed it directly on the chest of the other goblin.

"Magic Missile!"

The arcane power exploded on the goblin's sternum, knocking the thin green-skinned monster upside down and flying four to five meters away, and also knocked down several other goblins.

But the goblin holding the spear didn't seem to be planning to give up, and rushed straight under Pei Renli.

The disadvantage of rune magic is that the casting speed is not fast enough, so Pei Renli had to turn his sword and stab it from top to bottom with the tip of the sword.

With a popping sound, the not-so-sharp dagger pierced the goblin's shoulder. The blade cut off the bones and penetrated the internal organs. A large amount of blood surged up like a small fountain.

The smelly liquid and the pale pink outward wound fell in Pei Renli's eyes, attracting his attention like some kind of magic power, and also made his stomach feel quite uncomfortable.

Even though he had seen death with his own eyes before in the Demon King Arena, and even almost had his eyes opened in a physical sense, this was the first time that Perrenli had truly faced it up close.

He was in a daze for a moment until he heard Moen behind him shouting:

"Pei Renli, please cheer up!"

This sentence brought him back to his senses, and he hurriedly pulled out his dagger and swung it sideways to push back the other goblins who were trying to get closer. Due to the miserable condition of the first two goblins, he really didn't dare to step forward for a while.

For now, Pei Renli has done a good job. Under the pressure of his life safety being threatened, Pei Renli has put in his best efforts in all the courses this week. Now is the time to show his results. If he had just traveled through

At that time, when I saw so many green-skinned little monsters, I was afraid that I would run away on the spot.

After all, this is the weakest monster and is not difficult to deal with.

But the number is simply too much.

Moen reminded Perenli and quickly turned around to deal with the goblins in front of him. He put down the lute he had always held in his hand and drew out his dagger to block. Since there were too many goblins coming up, he could only block now.

block.

Compared to him, Anna and Lydia are much better.

The former uses two scimitars placed on his waist to form a dense knife network, and any rash goblin who dares to approach will be killed on the spot, while the latter has the thickest armor and the strongest strength in the team.

Lydia's hand-axe posture is more like using a hammer. Any goblin that touches her is either missing arms or legs, or is hammered to pieces. Among the four, she is the one who has killed the most goblins so far.

It stands to reason that goblins are not moral creatures, and they should run away as soon as they see such a thorny idea, but they have no intention of retreating.

This question flashed through his mind, and Pei Renli thought that it also planned to distract its attention, otherwise it might vomit it out.

Of course, when I think about it, I can’t stop moving my hands.

A sword temporarily forced the goblin back. Pei Renli's left hand took the opportunity to quickly write runes again. This time it took much longer than the magic missiles and magic armors. Fortunately, he had practiced well during this period and tried his best to write runes as fast as he could.

He quickly completed the spell before the goblins surrounded him again.

The flashing runes created a ball of bright red light that gathered in Pei Renli's hands, and he simply spread out his five fingers:

"Burning Hands!"

A large oil-like flame erupted in the next moment and spread to a distance of nearly 10 meters. The flame radiated from the palm of his hand in a cone shape, looking like a hand-held flamethrower.

As the weakest monster, goblins are obviously unable to resist the burning of magical flames. Those who run fast can scream and crawl into the forest, while those who are directly hit only struggle a few times and can no longer move.

The flames ignited the thick leaf litter beneath their feet and quickly spread around, threatening to ignite the entire forest.

However, when encountering certain trees, the trees with spindle-shaped leaves immediately secrete a large amount of foam and water mist. The flames are extinguished before they spread too far, and the already high humidity around them is instantly

It increased so much that everyone felt sticky.

Trying not to look at the burnt goblins on the ground, Pei Renli's eyes were completely empty.

Burning Hands is not a very powerful spell, but it is also the most powerful spell he has learned so far. It is suitable for quickly clearing out a large number of goblins.

"here you go!"

Others have also noticed the results of the Burning Hand, which has also reduced everyone's pressure a lot.

However, Pei Renli, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, saw a familiar face in the shadow of the trees not far away.

——Ravna.

She stood under the shadow. Due to the perspective problem, only Pei Renli could see her. Everyone else was dealing with the goblins around them.

This made Pei Renli feel like his blood was bleeding, and there was no way to explain it to others. He hurriedly took two steps and whispered in a voice squeezed from his throat:

"Why did you come out?"

This time the school assigned a commission, no matter how Perrenli insisted that it was not dangerous, Ravna still insisted on coming.

She had been hiding in Pei Renli's shadow before, and she didn't know when she went out.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, you want to be trained, so I called some goblins over."

Although Perrenli had always simply believed that the Demon King = the villain's boss, when Ravna introduced the Demon King, she specifically used the adjective 'King of Monsters'.

The Demon King of Violence has the ability to control monsters. Ravna was created by him. Of course, she also has this ability. Although she can only control those weaker than her, there is definitely no pressure to control goblins.

In other words, Perenli and the others encountered so many goblins purely because Perenli wanted to train himself. As a subordinate, Ravna naturally had to share your worries...

"Pei Renli, what are you doing! Come here quickly!"

The other three people chose to fight and retreat, not intending to face off against the large number of goblins. In other words, they planned to run away.

He turned around and answered casually. When Perenli turned around again, he found that Ravna had disappeared, probably she had slipped into the shadow again.
