Green Monster Epic

Chapter 105: A Pity He Got Away

“Am I going to die here?”

In that moment between life and death, the thought flashed through Ye's mind, but an even stronger desire to survive filled his entire being. His body reacted swiftly. He raised his twin daggers above his head, bent slightly at the waist, and positioned his legs in a bow stance, ready to face Alan's powerfully charged strike.

At the same time, Ye mobilized all the shadow energy within his body, his figure gradually becoming dim. He prepared to use this to confuse Alan's vision, although he knew it would likely be useless.

“Bang!!”

Ye's twin daggers met Alan's greatsword. The immense, unparalleled force traveled through the daggers and into Ye's body. His arms felt as if they were completely broken, sending a heart-wrenching pain through him. His legs involuntarily sank into the ground.

“I can't block it!! I can't block it!!”

Ye screamed frantically in his heart, but it was no use. The only thing he could do was mobilize the little shadow energy he had left throughout his body, even knowing it was likely futile. However, the intense desire to survive compelled him to do something.

Suddenly, Ye felt enveloped by gentle, warm shadow energy. After a flash, the greatsword pressing down on him was gone. However, the powerful force from the impact with Alan's greatsword had not only severely injured Ye's arms but also damaged his internal organs. A wave of nausea washed over him, and foreign matter spilled from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away, and the scent of blood filled the air. Ye spat out blood.

When Ye looked up again, he was already more than ten zhang away from Alan. All the shadow energy in his body was naturally gone. Although he didn't know what had just happened, having escaped a life-or-death crisis, Ye knew what was important. He quickly swung his two useless arms and fled without looking back towards the escape route he had chosen when he was hiding.

Alan was also bewildered. He had been about to kill his hated enemy on the spot, but who would have thought that the other party would disappear in a black light? His sure-hit sword missed its target and slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit and dissipating all of Alan's force.

When Alan looked up and around, he finally saw a ghostly figure disappearing into the distance more than twenty zhang away. He knew that trying to pursue and kill him would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, the Earth Goblin chieftain behind him was leading two of his people to untie the bound goblins. If Alan didn't return to fight, all the bound Earth Goblins would escape, and his plan for this campaign would fail.

Alan raised his greatsword and charged back. At this moment, the Earth Goblin chieftain and his men had just untied two goblins and were preparing to untie the third. After giving a few instructions, the Earth Goblin chieftain raised the nail-studded club in his hand and met Alan head-on, while the other two continued their rescue operation.

Alan was already seething with anger. Seeing the other party acting like this, how could he hold back? Fueled by rage, he swung his greatsword in a heavy chop, not intending to hold back. The Earth Goblin's face turned pale. Although he knew he might not be able to block it, he had to stand up for his people behind him.

“Clang!”

After the crisp sound of weapons colliding, the chieftain's face turned even paler, and he took two steps back. Before he could recover, Alan's greatsword struck again, one blow after another, forcing the Earth Goblin to retreat while blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

“Stop, if you don't want your chieftain to die!!”

When the Earth Goblin chieftain could no longer hold on, his nail-studded club flew away in another collision, and the skin between his thumb and forefinger split open, his face ashen-green. Alan seized the opportunity to place his greatsword on the other's neck and shouted at the two goblins who were still busy untying their people.

“Don't… worry about me! You… leave quickly!”

The captured Earth Goblin chieftain was not obedient and shouted loudly, causing the hesitant goblins to stop hesitating. One took a companion and fled as if flying.

“You want to leave? No way!!”

Seeing this, Alan slammed the hilt of his sword hard on the back of the Earth Goblin chieftain's head. The other party saw a flash of darkness and collapsed weakly. Without the burden, Alan's figure was as swift as a falcon, quickly catching up with the running Earth Goblins. After spending some effort to knock them unconscious again and restrict their movements, Dajiang and the other seven tribe members slowly walked in from outside the valley, each carrying two goblin figures in their hands, indicating a complete victory.

“Chieftain, what's going on?”

Everyone was a little surprised. They had tied them up very securely before. Why would someone break free from the ropes?

“Did you see a dog-head person?”

Alan asked instead of answering.

“No, where's the shadow of a dog-head person? Chieftain, you must be mistaken!”

A Xiao shook his head.

“Forget it, find someone to look in the crowd. It seems like two Earth Goblins were injured just now. If they can be saved, save them.”

Alan sighed softly. The originally perfect sneak attack had resulted in casualties because of a dog-head person, which made Alan a little unhappy. Fortunately, they had brought several bottles of spare healing potions with them this time to deal with such injuries.

“Be alert when guarding the night. There might be a dog-head person hiding near us. The one who popped out before was very slippery. The three goblins who were chopped were his handiwork.”

At this time, Alan finally explained to Dajiang and the others the reason for the casualties.

“Another guy from the Shattered Bone Tribe?”

A Xiao's face was grim, and he couldn't help but be furious.

“Who else could it be!”

Alan replied with a gloomy face, "But the dog-head who popped out didn't get away with it either. Although I didn't completely hit him, he won't feel good either."
