Xia Nan couldn’t just stand by and watch his teammate fall into crisis.
Especially when the team captain, Adeline, was seriously injured and had lost combat ability. Only Berg could coordinate with him now.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Xia Nan suddenly pushed off with force.
Accompanied by the high-pitched roar and the wolf head phantom enveloping his body, he instantly charged forward.
Using the Charge Battle Skill derived from the Northern Territory Winter Wolf hunting posture, Xia Nan demonstrated an explosive speed surpassing even that of the Red haired Bear Goblins in just a few moments.
In a breath, dozens of meters of distance were effortlessly closed, catching up with the Bear Goblin charging at Berg.
As he moved at high speed, Xia Nan even managed to see the red mane on the opponent’s back swaying violently with the air flow, wet with rainwater and blood, and the outline of muscles writhing beneath the thick fur on its arms.
It hadn’t anticipated this little bug to possess such speed, and a humanoid surprise flashed in the fierce, clouded beast eyes of the Red Mane.
Then, as it moved, it casually slapped its stout arm toward its side.
Xia Nan felt a piercing gust of wind explode in front of him, his vision catching a fleeting brownish-yellow shadow.
Not having time to think, his left hand instinctively raised the Arm Shield to his chest.
The wolf howl abruptly ceased, the phantom wolf shadow disintegrated into falling raindrops and flying grass fragments, disappearing into the air.
Xia Nan’s body, initially sprinting forward, was jolted to a stop and then sent flying backward.
It was thanks to the single agility attribute point granted by the upgrade of Teeth Hunting that his balance and reaction capabilities were greatly enhanced.
Only then did he barely respond, enduring the pain to adjust his body’s center of gravity in mid-air.
Landing in a not-too-awkward manner.
The boots, stained with dirt and blood, retreated deeply into the mud, dragging two long trails on the ground.
Xia Nan gasped heavily, his black tousled hair already soaking with sweat and rain.
The Arm Shield remained in a defensive posture in front of him, yet his left hand couldn’t stop trembling slightly.
Recalling the exaggerated strength displayed when the Bear Goblin casually slapped a moment ago.
He couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear in his heart.
If he hadn’t reacted in time to defend, he might already be wounded on the ground like Adeline.
And even though his defense was successful, the force that could have twisted steel was weakened by at least seventy percent by the Snake Scale Arm Shield.
The residual force transmitted from his arm still left half his body tingling with numbness.
It further highlighted the disparity in strength between them.
...And made him feel he couldn’t let the Green Blood Team lose any more members.
If even the remaining battle strength, "Berg," was to be severely injured and exit the field.
Leaving only himself.
Xia Nan didn’t even know how to win.
Clenching his teeth, he drove the slightly sore muscles in his thighs.
Simultaneously, his gaze swept ahead.
He let out a slight sigh of relief.
Though it appeared that he was repelled by the Red Mane with a single strike, successfully drawing its attention and power while it was moving at high speed had already slowed it down.
Providing Berg with ample time to react.
At present, Berg was once again utilizing his acceleration battle skill, trailing shadows and rapidly retreating.
His speed was far inferior to Xia Nan releasing Teeth Hunting or the exaggerated muscle power of the Bear Goblin.
Yet, despite the initially short distance being rapidly closed, the Red Mane hadn’t caught up yet.
His mind rapidly analyzed the battlefield situation.
Within a few seconds, Xia Nan caught up once more.
Learning from previous lessons, he didn’t get too close to the Bear Goblin.
Instead, he maintained his displacement after catching up.
Only after surpassing the opponent by two bodies did he suddenly stop and turn.
The iron-gray sharp cold light burst forth.
The Beheading Longsword was already drawn.
Smashing raindrops, slicing through cold air.
A perfect arc of sword light, wrapped in ominous cold, swept toward the Bear Goblin with the wolf’s howl.
Xia Nan intended to use the strong impact inertia provided by Teeth Hunting to unleash his current strongest killing battle skill, forcing the Red Mane to halt.
After all, it’s a flesh and blood creature, no matter how thick its fur, no matter how tough its muscles, it still fits within the understanding scope of ordinary people.
Red Mane might be able to withstand some blunt damage from low level adventurers unharmed or endure the sharp old rusty iron tools, sustaining only minor injuries.
