Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
#7 - Entrusted each other's lives
In the dark, damp, and narrow sewer, the Hobgoblin's roar, filled with rage and dilated pupils, echoed continuously. The bone club in its hand whistled as it smashed forward, the iron round shield already visibly deformed under the relentless attacks.
Bang!
The next second, the Hobgoblin's skin turned blood red, veins bulging on its arms. The bone club, carrying a series of afterimages, slammed directly onto the round shield. The sudden powerful attack sent Tuka's round shield flying, and his body involuntarily fell backward.
"Despicable human, die!"
Seeing that the human's tortoise shell was finally shattered by him, the Hobgoblin grinned hideously, gripping the bone club with both hands and raising it high. A bloodthirsty, violent red light flashed in its eyes. It couldn't wait to see this human who ambushed him smashed into a pile of minced meat, a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Captain!"
Faced with the Hobgoblin's sudden outburst, Keith and Nina were also taken aback. Seeing their captain falling and the Hobgoblin grinning hideously as it raised its bone club, the two hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to save Tuka.
"Die, human!"
With a hideous grin, the Hobgoblin looked at the two rushing to rescue and swung down with all its might. The white bone club cut through the air, carrying a howling sound like a vengeful ghost, smashing towards Tuka's head.
"Heh!"
In mid-air, Tuka looked at the bone club coming straight at him and chuckled softly. There was no trace of fear or panic on his face, and his gaze towards the Hobgoblin was like looking at a corpse.
Thwack!
Just as Tuka's body fell into the sticky, black, foul-smelling mud, a figure rushed out of the shadows. The short sword in his left hand gently flicked, directly changing the trajectory of the bone club. Then, his right hand slightly raised, directly piercing the Hobgoblin's heart.
Boom!
The next second, a huge roar rang out. The white bone club slammed beside Tuka, and the splashing mud directly covered the bodies of everyone present. The pungent stench filled the air, making people unable to resist vomiting.
However, the few people present couldn't care less about such trivial matters at this time. Keith and Nina, who had originally rushed towards Tuka, stood there dumbfounded, looking at their captain lying in the mud and Gordon, who was shrouded in a black robe and reaching out his arm towards Tuka. Behind them, the Hobgoblin's body crashed heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough! I almost lost my life. I owe you another one this time."
Tuka grabbed the arm that Gordon extended towards him, using the leverage to stand up, covering his chest and coughing a few times. Then, he looked at the deformed shield that had fallen to the side and the Hobgoblin lying on the ground, shaking his head and giving Gordon a wry smile.
Originally, according to his plan, the trap had been smeared with poison long ago. Although the goblins had a certain degree of poison resistance due to living in the sewer for many years, it would only make the poison take effect a little slower.
Moreover, the poisoning process could effectively weaken the Hobgoblin's physical condition. In this way, relying on his iron round shield, he could completely delay until all the poison in the Hobgoblin's body took effect, easily killing it.
But the problem was that the plan was perfect, but he didn't expect that this Hobgoblin actually had a berserk-type skill. Most likely, this Hobgoblin, after realizing that it had been poisoned, knew that it would die and directly activated berserk, wanting to kill him before it died.
And once it successfully killed him, then without his command as captain and front-line protection, the remaining goblins might really cause a lot of trouble to the remaining people.
It was a pity that the Hobgoblin's dying blow was noticed by Gordon, who had been hiding in the dark preparing to ambush. He directly rushed out to save Tuka, and taking advantage of the Hobgoblin's exposed weakness due to its full-force attack at that time, he pierced its heart with one strike.
"You guys are at it again. Don't forget that we have long entrusted our lives to each other as partners!"
Gordon patted Tuka's shoulder, who had a wry smile on his face. As teammates, they had long entrusted their lives to each other. Just like Tuka, as the captain, trusted them, these teammates, and could completely entrust his back and life to them, then they would not fail his trust.
Whoosh!
"Ah!"
"Hey, hey! Captain and Brother Gordon, this is not the place for you two to deepen your relationship."
Just then, an arrow flew over Tuka and Gordon's heads. A goblin who was planning to sneak attack the two from behind screamed miserably and fell directly into the sewer mud. On the opposite side, Nina pouted her small mouth, put down the bow and arrow in her hand, and glared at the two opposite, scolding them.
However, even though she said so, the smile on Nina's lips couldn't be concealed.
"Hahaha! We made our Nina angry, but indeed, this is not a good place!"
Tuka looked at Nina, who was glaring at him from the opposite side, turned his head and smiled at Gordon. They all picked up their respective weapons and looked at the remaining seven or eight goblins behind them. On the opposite side, the seven or eight goblins, who had been frightened by the death of the Hobgoblin, saw the murderous gazes of the four humans opposite them.
Without hesitation, they dropped the weapons in their hands, turned around and ran towards the back. Even the two goblins closest to Tuka and the others directly started attacking their comrades in front to run faster.
"Kill! After this mission is over, I'll pay for everyone to have a big meal!"
Tuka laughed loudly as he watched the goblins fleeing in panic, raised the long sword in his hand and chased after them, not even wanting the shield that had fallen to his feet.
"The captain is treating, yay!"
"But, Captain, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will find out and not let you in the house?"
Behind them, Nina cheered when she heard that her captain was treating, raised the bow and arrow in her hand, and shot an arrow at the goblin in front. On the side, Keith, carrying his sword, caught up with Tuka and, after beheading a goblin, asked Tuka a question that was courting death.
"You brat, how could I be afraid of my wife? Besides, you're not included in tonight's treat!"
Tuka, who was originally laughing, twitched his mouth after hearing Keith's words, turned his head and glared fiercely at Keith, saying that he was not afraid of his wife while saying that Keith was not included in tonight's treat.
"How could this be!"
In Keith's pitiful complaints and the laughter of the others, they followed the tunnel into the goblin camp and chased after the fleeing goblins. A few minutes after they left, a round slime silently appeared in the shadows of the corner.
"So these are the adventurers of this world?"
Lu Minghao hid in the shadows and looked at the front. As early as when these adventurers were still fighting the Hobgoblin, Lu Minghao had quietly sneaked here using his new skills. However, after discovering the Hobgoblin and the adventurers who were fighting, Lu Minghao chose to observe in secret until they left and confirmed that it was temporarily safe before daring to appear.
