The Risk Goblin's shameless rocket boots left everyone stunned.
They had never seen a monster this good at escaping. Its human-like expressions and movements made it feel less like an NPC and more like some kid pretending to be one.
Two jets of crimson flame erupted from the boots, and the Risk Goblin began slowly ascending into the air.
Everyone's hearts were filled with frustration, but there was nothing they could do to stop it. All they could do was watch the Risk Goblin get away. The magic users were over 40 yards from the Risk Goblin, and Jimo Ruxue was more than 30 yards away — too far for a Charge. On top of that, once the target was airborne, Charge's stun effect became useless. It would only boost movement speed.
At that moment, Shi Feng was the closest, only 15 yards away, but he had no ranged attacks. Even if he ran over, the goblin would already be 20-plus yards in the air. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Risk Goblin flew off.
Nine-Headed Dragon Slash!
Shi Feng knew he couldn't catch up, but he swung the Abyssal, wreathed in black mist, unleashing nine streaks of dark energy that shot forward. He was not about to just stand there and let this clever little goblin get away.
He had assumed the Risk Goblin was just an ordinary special elite, but he never expected it to be this human-like.
In ten years of battling through the Divine Realm, goblins this cunning were rare indeed. The Main God System wouldn't casually give a low-level monster high intelligence. When it did, there was always some deeper meaning behind it. Creatures like human heroes and legendary beings were all colossal existences that struck terror into people's hearts.
While this Risk Goblin's intelligence didn't quite reach the level of those heroes and legendary creatures, it was far smarter than most bosses. Killing it might yield unexpected rewards.
At that moment, the Risk Goblin's display changed. Its name suddenly shifted to A Ke Xie Ma Duo Er.
A Ke Xie Ma Duo Er. Leader rank. Level 5. HP: 600/600.
Shi Feng read the name and felt it was oddly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
Still, for a goblin with only 600 HP, he was confident that Nine-Headed Dragon Slash could finish it off.
But just as the nine sword shadows were about to pierce through A Ke Xie Ma Duo Er, the goblin pulled a few iron balls from a pouch on its back and hurled them straight at the phantom blades of the Abyssal.
The instant they made contact, a blinding flash of fire erupted.
Boom boom boom…
A chain of explosions knocked the phantom blades away. By the time the Abyssal's phantoms prepared to strike again, A Ke Xie Ma Duo Er had already flown 30 yards out — and the nine phantom blades could only reach 30 yards.
Shi Feng could do nothing but watch A Ke Xie Ma Duo Er escape.
"Are you kidding me? What kind of monster is this? Its escape ability is completely broken!" Hei Zi stared daggers at the retreating A Ke Xie Ma Duo Er and cursed loudly.
Ke Le was so frustrated she was gritting her teeth, punching the tree trunk hard several times.
The rest of the group felt equally annoyed. They had all worked so hard to take down this elite monster. They were on the verge of claiming their reward, and the thing sprouted wings and flew away. Could anything be more infuriating?
"Brother Feng, let's keep chasing!" Hei Zi pointed out that the goblin wasn't actually moving that fast, and those rocket boots couldn't have unlimited fuel. Maybe it would touch down soon.
"Forget it. Let's keep farming the Wandering Goblins," Shi Feng said with a shake of his head. If he could chase it down, he would have done so already. But the goblin's rocket boots were too powerful — hailed as the ultimate escape tool in the Divine Realm. They had just activated; soon the speed would spike, and in the blink of an eye, it would vanish completely. Finding it again would be impossible.
