Chapter 299: Giant Goblin Beast Part 1

[It seems that the goblin beasts are retreating or afraid of me for some reason. They must have received instruction to retreat somehow as they were already on their way back to the goblin city] thought Adam to himself as he launched himself off the branch he was on and landed on the ground.

Running at his full speed, Adam rushed to catch up to the goblin beast group and found that as a group they were quite slow since the Tank Goblin Beasts and the Mage Goblin Beast were holding them back.

Despite that, the speed they were moving at was still a speed that low-level Advanced Cultivators would struggle to keep up with and Adam would judge the beasts based on his own power, but could recognise how amazing they were.

Within seconds, Adam closed most of the distance between himself and the group of goblin beasts and it was clear to the goblin beast group that he would reach them soon.

It would take them quite a while to reach the goblin city, even at the incredibly fast speed that they were moving out, which went to show just how large the forest around the goblin city was and how large Floor 10 was as a whole.

Communicating with each other, the two in the goblin beast group that were the fastest and the most nimble, decided to stay back to hold off Adam for a while before catching up to them.

Seeing their intentions, it seemed that they somehow knew that he was able to take them down and this group of goblin beasts was clearly aiming to get away from Adam and not dispose of him.

[This floor will be harder than I thought and whoever the leader or strategist of the goblin beasts is, needs to be killed. It isn't particularly smart, but it is still annoying to face a coordinated army of beasts alone. But first off, let's kill this group of goblin beasts] thought Adam as he burst towards the Swordsman Goblin Beast that had turned to face him.

Supporting him from a distance was the Archer Goblin Beast, but Adam was already used to the speed and power of the arrows of that type of beast and instantly avoided its first arrow before clashing with the Swordsman Goblin Beast.

Using his daggers, Adam began parrying the Swordsman Goblin Beast's sword strikes while controlling the rhythm of the battle and moving him to a position that covered him from the Archer Goblin Beast who was afraid to get close.

Adam had memorised, understood and formed counter measures for all of the Swordsman Goblin Beast's techniques, attack patterns and swordsmanship style, so it was easy for him to do so.

With Adam's speed, perceptivity and combat prowess, within a minute, he had the Swordsman Goblin Beast covered in wounds and blood and found the chance to strike its neck.

A single slash to the neck, and their battle was over, but he still had to take down the pesky Archer Goblin Beast who had been firing arrows at him the entire time he was battling the Swordsman Goblin Beast.

Adam had used the Swordsman Beast to cover himself from the arrows, but now that he had slashed his neck and killed it, the Archer Goblin Beast was free to fire at Adam as it pleased.

Blood had splashed on Adam's and he had to close his eyes for an instant as he wiped the warm, green blood off his face.

In that instant, the Archer Goblin Beast fired three powerful and incredibly fast arrows that were coated with internal energy and aimed at Adam's head.

However, even with his eyes closed, Adam's senses were still sharp and activated the Step Skip Skill to appear beside the Archer Goblin Beast.

"All of you disgusting goblins will die to my hands" declared Adam as he dug his dagger into the neck of the Archer Goblin Beast, then kicked the dagger all the way through.

Picking up his dagger that was drenched in green blood and had fallen to the ground, Adam rushed after the Mage Goblin Beast and the two Tank Goblin Beasts that had run away with it.

However before he could catch up, the ground began to shake as Adam heard loud thuds and looked off into the distance to see a shocking creature.

The entire floor would experience a mini-earthquake each time the beast took a step and although it was miles away and was in a forest that was densely populated with trees, Adam could see its head and body standing tall above the trees.

He had previously thought that the Tank Goblin Beast that stood at 2-3 metres were large, but this goblin beast was a few dozen metres tall and had a similar large physique to the Tank Goblin Beasts.

However, it didn't have any armour and help a giant club that would have required an entire large tree from the forest to produce.

It looked like the Tank Goblin Beast and Goblin Guard Beast were fused and enlarged many times over to produce the giant beast that seemed to be heading towards him.

Adam couldn't help but feel intimidated by its size and how was he even meant to take down such a large beast, how did it suddenly appear and where was it hidden as such a large beast wouldn't be able to suddenly appear in the forest without alerting everyone of its presence.

That led Adam to believe that the goblins beasts within the city or the giant goblin beast itself was the cause of its sudden increase in size, as he would have noticed it earlier, but it also made him wonder whether the giant goblin beast could stay giant for long periods of time.

There were too many things that Adam didn't know about the Giant Goblin Beast that was approaching the area he was in at a slow pace and clearly looking for the intruder to take them down, but Adam still wasn't planning to back down.
