(The about the attack part has been modified - the students who read it before 6pm yesterday can refresh it)
Duo Lai's level is the same as Dead Bone's, level 6 of the Zero-order, and it's not far from the Level 7 'Late Stage of Apprentice'. It is far superior to the others which are only at levels 3 or 4, like the Big Slime.
Moreover, it has swallowed some cultivation sequence treasures, making its foundations far exceed those of its companions.
With the idea of gaining more power, Mu Yuan gave Duo Lai the evo-power.
The evolution process was brief.
A sudden burst of white light stunned the goblins for a moment. After the moment, the new Duo Lai stood before Mu Yuan.
Its appearance was still that of a jelly, only a bit larger. The hue of its body has become somewhat darker, and the surface was adorned with faint purple specks, like grains of stardust.
'Prompt: Your trooper 'Large Slime · Duo Lai' is bathing in the power of miracles, begins to transform, and has evolved into…'
'Prompt: Large Slime · Duo Lai has recessive talent, changes have occurred during the evolution and it has evolved into a special mutation form 'Devouring Slime (Rare One Star)'.'
'Prompt: Your unit, Duo Lai, completes during the process of evolution, learns the skill 'Leap', and gains a new skill 'Condensing Liquid Shaping'.'
'Prompt: Your unit Duo Lai awakens talent 'Devouring (Primary Level)'.'
'Devouring (Primary level): It can improve its own absorption efficiency of soul sand, medicinal materials, treasures, etc., and it can improve a particular characteristic by devouring all kinds of items. When the devouring amount reaches a certain extent, it may acquire additional abilities.'
Two skills and one talent!
Just one evolution, and Duo Lai has made an epic-level upgrade.
Not only that, Mu Yuan had previously fed Duo Lai a few filling fruits. Duo Lai, possessing the recessive devouring talent, absorbed them rapidly and learned a little bit of energy utilization.
Mu Yuan was not worried that the newly evolved Duo Lai could not use the skills effectively, it was just not as proficient.
Compared with the 1-level Skeleton Soldier Dead Bone initially, how many times better was Duo Lai's primary?
It was born in a good era.
Mu Yuan gathered his scattered thoughts, had not the time to think too much, and continued to command Bone Two and Bone Three to attack the enemy line, to find the Old Silver Coin Goblin.
At this time, Duo Lai, who was still stunned, saw three goblins rush up, yelling and stabbing their sharp spears fiercely into its body.
The jelly-like body sank inwards, the spear looked as if it had stabbed into a viscous liquid, and was quickly blocked.
In pain, Duo Lai let out a fierce roar, its condensed body on both sides slowly bulged outwards. During the process, their shape kept changing, forming a pair of giant arms more than two meters long with a dark blue color.
Duo Lai picked up the two goblins on both sides like chicks, brought them together, and clapped them hard into the goblin in the middle, turning them into a Goblin sandwich.
At this moment, Bone Two and Bone Three exploded once again.
Bone Two swung its sword, as per usual trading injury for injury with the Big Goblin across.
Its armor sank in, cracks spread, and several ribs were broken inside. However...
The large two-handed sword with faint black radiance slashed diagonally, cutting open the plate armor on the Big Goblin's body and cutting its robust body almost in half.
Bone Two was pushed back by the dying Big Goblin, but it stood up while the opponent fell down.
Almost at the same time, Bone Three also held a Bone Spear in hand. It didn't throw it, but instead stabbed it hard into a Big Goblin's back, charging with a deadly blow.
The advantage began to tilt towards Mu Yuan's side.
Another thick wooden spear tore through the air and flew over. The angle was extremely tricky, and the timing was when Bone Four and Duo Lai were held back.
This goblin doesn't have any martial morality!
He always aimed for his vital weakness, which didn't seem fair at all.
However, since the attack just now, he had been hiding in the protection circle of the three guards, and even ordered the guards to slowly retreat with him to a huge rock, relying on the three overlapping shields in front of the rock for defense.
A long wooden spear was still embedded in the outermost shield.
Not only that, Mu Yuan, hidden behind the guards, had already squatted halfway down. The command needed to observe the battlefield was also done using the Battle Falcon's vision. He hadn't shown his head the whole time.
He still had two uses left of his amulet.
If things really don't work out, he would take out the God Monster Crystal Lamp he held in his arms.
But it's not that bad yet.
The power of this wooden spear was even greater, breaking most of the outer shield and causing the guard's body to involuntarily fall backwards. However, the other two shields were overlapping, and the three guards worked together to resist this burst of impact.
The young man did well.
Mu Yuan quickly commanded the Battle Falcon, continuously scanning the area from which the wooden spear had come. He finally spotted a green figure, almost one with the tree leaves, half-crouched on a branch of a large tree.
The Old Silver Coin is here!
Under the nurturing of Dead Bone, Duo Lai has deeply understood the principle of attacking the back row in a team fight. She couldn't find the back row's position before, but now that she has a hint, her body starts to stretch upward and compress down like a spring.
Just like before, but this time Duo Lai is like a rocket shooting into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
A heavyweight crushed the branches and toppled the tree, but at the last moment, this Old Silver Coin Spearman managed to dodge.
Broken branches and falling leaves fluttered around the chaotic bushes, while this spearman fiercely stared at Duo Lai's figure.
It threw wooden spears one after another at a blistering speed. One by one, they were stuck in Duo Lai's body, causing her to constantly shake and reel.
Hurt! It's too painful!
Duo Lai finally understands why Brother Dead Bone always said that goblins know how to die. She totally agrees!
"Goblin Spearman (two stars): Level 9 of Zero Order."
It had dark green skin and a small form but doesn't appear hunch-backed. Its arm muscles seemed extremely explosive, and the sharp-tooth necklace hanging on its neck seemed to accentuate its remarkable identity. The wooden spears on its back were thicker and more sophisticated than the commonly thrown ones.
It seemed to be the leader of these goblins, almost an elite mini boss.
However, this goblin spearman was also a bit baffled. The spears it kept throwing at Duo Lai didn't seem to be very effective.
It seemed to understand something and pulled out a wrinkled, light red scroll from its body. It tore it open with all its might, aimed at Duo Lai.
A burst of fire erupted violently and rolled towards Duo Lai.
Duo Lai, who was inexperienced in battle, was stunned. She instinctively opened her mouth wide and gulped down this burst of fire.
She burped, exhaling a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.
The Goblin Chief: "???"
Duo Lai: The taste is not bad.
The goblins left unhappily. After their small leader was killed, the other goblins finally returned to their cowardly nature and started to scatter and run.
Of course, Mu Yuan didn't let any of them go. He let Bone Two, Duo Lai and other soldiers chased a few hundred meters, smashing each goblin who knew how to die.
Only at this moment, Mu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and had time to review everything that happened.
There's no doubt that he was ambushed. Those goblins were deliberately lurking here to launch a sneak attack on him.
Even the recon of the Battle Falcon didn't notice anything wrong earlier.
Of course, he was also somewhat careless because it was very close to his territory here and there were few monsters. If he had sent out the skeleton soldiers, investigating every two hundred meters like sweeping a carpet, he naturally would have found the goblins in the grass.
"It's not uncommon for monsters to attack players' territories, but it's a bit too much for well-equipped goblins to ambush me, a newbie lord."
Mu Yuan suspected that he was also discovered by the other party while investigating the goblin camp to the north.
However, could a camp-level group of goblins be so elite?
He wasn't sure, but either way, he would remember this grudge against them first.
