Chapter 987:

Gorda had deployed his Shield Wall, blocking the Pyroblast with a solid thud. The fierce heat wave had filled the narrow passage of the cave, and the hot wind caused by the magical explosion had made everyones hair blow backward.

Gorda had exclaimed, Xuelu, this goblin magicians proficiency in fire magic is higher than yours! You cant even cast Pyroblast, yet it can. Could it be youre not as smart as a goblin?

Xuelu had shouted back, Dont put it so bluntly; we can still be friends.

Fight back!

Jike, usually a man of few words, had drawn his bow and released an arrow. It had struck the goblin magician squarely, causing it to let out a painful cry before collapsing. But suddenly, another goblin holding a wooden staff had emerged from behind, chanting a spell. With a wave of his hand, a golden light had enveloped the injured mage, who then had jumped up as if rejuvenated, his arrow wound having healed.

The trio of adventurers had looked on in disbelief. Are you kidding? This goblin knows healing magic?

This cave is suspicious.

Dont get surrounded by these goblins; theyre not ordinary.

Quickly, start moving, engage in hit-and-run tactics. Outsmart them, disrupt their formation in high-speed movement, then take them down.

To the wall!

Gorda, Jike, and Xuelu had begun to run, planning to employ various tactics to deal with the goblins. After all, goblins werent known for their intelligence, and their team combat abilities were inferior to humans; adventurers often toyed with them.

The three had dashed into a pitch-black corridor, intending to engage the goblins in mobile combat. However, they soon realized something was amiss. The goblins werent hastily pursuing them and breaking their formation. The front-line goblin warriors, with shields in hand, were advancing cautiously, while the rear mages and priests maintained their distance. Their coordinated movements resembled less of a mere goblin troop and more of a disciplined human knight squadron.Alll latest novels at novelhall.comn it! Gorda had exclaimed, I thought I was battling knights of the Kingdom of Norma.

Xuelu had also voiced her surprise, How could such a regimented goblin troop exist?

Before further discussion, Xuelu had said, Enough talk, what do we do now? Look over there, theres a passage. Perhaps we can jump directly to the next level. Lets not get hung up with these damn goblins.

The adventurers, feeling elated, had decided to avoid a difficult fight and head straight to the next level. They entered the passage, winding through various twists and turns, and had indeed reached the second level.

Upon their arrival, they spotted a beautiful treasure chest. Jike had utilized his lock-picking skills, and upon opening the chest, Xuelu, after just one glance, had exclaimed with joy, Wow! A box full of high-quality gemstones! The monsters in this cave may be strong, but the treasures are amazing!

Gorda had said, It seems, no matter how dangerous, it had been worth delving deeper; we might have discovered a treasure that would shake the heavens.

Jike had remarked, Theres a room here, and I have a feeling theres a very powerful monster inside.

A strong monster signifies a substantial loot, Xuelu had noted. Dont be afraid; open the door, and lets engage.

The three had exchanged glances, nodded in agreement, and then, working together, they had pushed open the large room door.

Upon entering, they had seen a Minotaur seated on a stone chair, staring at them with a stern gaze: How dare you come here? Such audacity! You wont be leaving alive.

Gorda had exclaimed, What the hell?

Xuelu had speculated, Perhaps its a Minotaur as formidable as those goblins we encountered earlier.

Gorda had responded, Right, we should be cautious.

Gorda, holding his sword and shield, had advanced forward, while Xuelu and Jike had taken positions on his left and right, forming a strategic triangle.

A fireball had instantly shot out, targeting the figures face. However, with a mere wave, the cloaked figure had diverted the fireball elsewhere.

Xuelu had cast another spell, Fire Wall!

A towering wall of flames had risen between her and the cloaked figure.

She had hoped that this would buy her some time, believing that it would at least take the figure some effort to cross the blazing barrier. In that brief moment, she had quickly pulled out her phone from her pocket and dialed Robbs number.

Come on, pick up the phone! Xuelu had thought, As long as this call connects, Ill be saved.

Just then, a distinct ringtone had chimed.

Sonic Hedgehogs QQ group, a flock of pigeons flying by, come on, lets count, two, four, six, eight

The source of this ringtone had, surprisingly, been the cloaked figure.

The atmosphere had instantly turned awkward.

In this world, there was only one person who had used that particular ringtone: Robb. No one else would have understood the meaning behind that tune.

For the love of! Xuelu had thrown her crystal orb at the cloaked figure, exclaiming, Are you kidding me?

The cloaked figure had reluctantly lifted the cloak to reveal his identity. It had been Robb.

With mixed feelings of amusement and annoyance, Xuelu had glanced at the large bed she had been on and said irritably, So you had set up this entire underground dungeon and summoned a horde of ferocious goblins and minotaurs just to capture me?

Robb had chuckled mischievously, Life needs some spice, dont you think this is quite thrilling?

Xuelu had shot him a sidelong glance, to which Robb had said, Dont like it? Alright, alright, Ill just release you.

Hehe Xuelu had suddenly begun to chuckle wickedly, On second thought, it does seem quite thrilling. Quickly, shackle my right hand again and lets continue our game.

Wha- really?

The scene had faded to black, and soon, dawn had broken.

Early the next morning, Xuelu had gently lifted the covers and jumped out of bed. She had quietly put on her magician robe, grabbed her staff, left a bright red lipstick mark on the slumbering Robbs face, and then exited the underground dungeon.

Outside, the sunlight had been perfect. She had greeted Gorda and Jike, who had been waiting for her, and laughed, Lets go! On to our next adventure.

Gorda had joked, Arent you staying a few more days with Godfather?

Xuelu had shaken her head with a smile, He has his life, and I have mine. The occasional overlap is enough.

The trio of adventurers had once again embarked on their journey. With never-ending adventures and ceaseless vitality, a soul that cherished freedom would pause briefly for love but would never be constrained by it.
