After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 127

Chapter 127: 116. Kill the Goblin Chieftain, Hidden Equipment_2

During the moment when this huge green-skinned brute was dazed, Lin Da greeted it with a purple magic sphere.

-565.

Kafni's Poison Explosion Dagger also shot into the Goblin Chieftain's back.

Double damage: -1052!

“Augh, augh, augh!” The Goblin Chieftain flew into a rage out of humiliation, jumping around on the spot, with patterns emerging on its skin and a red glow emanating from its body.

Lin Da shouted, “Be careful, it's entering the second phase!”

In the second phase, the Goblin Chieftain would release 'Hunting Dance', increasing agility and strength by 20%, while reducing defense by 30%.

Lin Da quickly calculated the hit points in his mind—so long as he could withstand all the attacks from the Wolf Fang Club, Kafni and Monica would be in no real danger.

Entering the second phase, the Goblin Chieftain, with weakened defense, was most susceptible to fierce output damage.

“Hey…!”

A yellow-brown beam of light hit the Goblin Chieftain's head, causing the magical creature to stagger on the spot and barely avoid falling by propping itself up with the Wolf Fang Club.

Bright red blood flowed from the wound on the Goblin Chieftain's forehead.

Monica's Earth Bombardment dealt a terrifying 7150 damage!

The members of the Phoenix Tail Flower positioned themselves in a perfect triangle, kiting the furiously impotent chieftain back and forth within it.

With Lin Da's high recovery amount and the protection of the Verdant Shield, although the Goblin Chieftain frequently brought Monica and Kafni to near-death, it couldn't land the final killing blow.

This reminded the Goblin Chieftain of the frustration and helplessness it felt when summoned by the Goblin King to the cave, forced to watch the King toy with the Wild Boar Princess, unable to do anything but stare.

Three frail adventurers were right before its eyes, yet it couldn't kill any of them!

Even with the Goblin Chieftain's 30000 hit points, it couldn't withstand the insane output from the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.

In less than five minutes, the Goblin Chieftain was at death's door.

“Curse you adventurers—prepare to face the chieftain's fury!”

The Goblin Chieftain's eyes bulged like copper bells, its teeth clenched tightly, veins near its neck bulging suddenly.

Lin Da was fully focused.

This was the Goblin Chieftain's final stage.

Once the Goblin Chieftain's hit points dropped below 3000, it would initiate 'Blood Locking'.

Unless it received a single hit of over 10000 damage, one couldn't bypass this stage and directly kill the Goblin Chieftain.

The duration of Blood Locking was 30 seconds, a span of time that was a death sentence for the adventure team, as the Goblin Chieftain would target the person with the highest total damage output and launch an all-out suicidal attack!

This was the biggest difficulty in conquering the Goblin Chieftain: to make the most durable adventurer in the team deliver the highest output, to cope with this 30-second death sentence.

Lin Da dared to trigger this hidden phase, relying on the Healing Hero's job traits.

He didn't need to worry about how to make the front line deliver the highest total damage; he could easily accomplish this as the 'front line'.

“Adventurer, die!”

The Goblin Chieftain, with blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Da, swung the Wolf Fang Club like a whirlwind, rotating it in a deadly attack!

Facing the Goblin Chieftain's deathly whirlwind of attacks, Lin Da took a deep breath, applied Continuous Healing to himself, and took out three Life Recovery Potions from the pouch on his belt.

He focused all his attention on defense, using the Walnut Wood Magic Sword as a shield. His body radiated a pale white glow from the Life Barrier sourced from his core, reinforced by an additional layer of the Verdant Shield…

-500, -571, -620!

In a few breaths, the Verdant Shield shattered, and Lin Da's Life Barrier vibrated intensely!

Anxious suggestions fluttered across the belly of the sensor ladybug.

On the outside, Aiko and others watched the screen with anxious eyes:

The Goblin Chieftain's deadly spin kicked up a cloud of dust, obscuring Lin Da's figure in the imagery, completely covered by the Wolf Fang Club.

-670.

-599.

+600, +455.

Red damage numbers and green recovery numbers, like warriors of opposing elements, battled above Lin Da's head.

While desperately defending, Lin Da also chanted spells, applying Primary Healing Art and Continuous Healing to himself.

Taking on this hidden trial with just three people was indeed quite the challenge.

As he struggled to defend against the Goblin Chieftain's onslaught, Lin Da sighed inwardly.

To reduce the difficulty, one would need to enter the instance according to its maximum party limit.

The third level allows up to six people.

With just one more front-line fighter and two more damage dealers, conquering the Goblin Chieftain would be a breeze.

At that moment, he muttered the spell in his heart, “Pure Life Magic Power, transform into a shield of protection, ward off all harm… Verdant Shield!”

An emerald light shield enveloped the surroundings, but after a few thuds, it lasted only two seconds before the Verdant Shield was shattered by the Goblin Chieftain's deathly windmill attack.

But at the same time, the 30-second death timer had ended!

The Goblin Chieftain's breath quickly withered, exhausted after the windmill attack, it came to a halt, panting with its tongue lolling out.

“Venom Magic Sphere!”

“Dagger Scatter!”

“Earth Spear Spell!”

The three had long plotted their move, unleashing their skills simultaneously, bombarding the Goblin Chieftain!

“Ughhhhh!”

The Goblin Chieftain's eyes were punctured by daggers, its chest pierced by a spear formed of earth magic,

while the Venom Magic Sphere, cunningly fired into the Goblin Chieftain's wide-open mouth, caused the large green-skinned monster to fall to the ground with a thud, rolling and clutching its head in agony!

Lin Da kept his eyes on the numbers popping up above the Goblin Chieftain's head, quickly doing the mental math: 30,000 hit points should be down to about 190 or so.

“Now's the time!”

Seizing the moment, he swung his walnut wood magic sword at the Goblin Chieftain's neck!

-211.

Fearing the approach of death, the Goblin Chieftain let out a terrified scream, but the severe pain in its body prevented it from putting up any effective defense.

The next moment, all sounds ceased abruptly.

A massive head was chopped off by Lin Da.

The hidden magical creature, a level 15 Goblin Chieftain, was dead!

On the belly of the sensor ladybug, pressed by the tense battle to the point of suffocation, people finally had the chance to send their suggestions,

and for a moment, the text scrolled furiously:

[Congratulations to the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team for conquering the third floor's hidden trial!]

[That was too hard, to defeat this Goblin Chieftain, the entire team has to hold off until level 15, even level 20, before entering the third floor, it's not meant for normal people at all…]

[Didn't you realize, except for the one named Kafni, all the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team are abnormal?]

[Lin Da's recovery amount, and that white-stockinged Big Lolita's output, are both quite high.]

Outside the screen, the adventurers watched eagerly as the Goblin Chieftain's corpse lay there.

A second later, the corpse turned into a burst of light, which shot towards the three members of the Phoenix Tail Flower.

By completing the hidden trial, they received the Divine Gift from the World Tree Goddess.

Monica bathed in the Divine Light, her face flushing red, her legs twisting in comfort.

After killing the Metal Slime, Monica leveled up again, this time becoming an 18th-level Earth Mage.

As for Lin Da, it was a case of over-leveled killing, and his higher evaluation was reflected in the three streaks of golden light that fell upon his head.

In front of Lin Da, system notifications popped up one after another:

[Your team has killed a level 15 hidden magical creature, the Goblin Chieftain, and you have received the Divine Gift of the World Tree Goddess, gaining 50,000 experience points!]

[You have advanced to level 14]

[You have advanced to level 15]

[You have advanced to level 16]

[Attributes increase: Strength +85, Magic Power +85, Defense +15, Magic Defense +25, Agility +14, Hit Points +900!]

[You have earned 3 Skill Points]

[For delivering the final blow to the Goblin Chieftain, you have obtained 40,000 diamonds!]

Lin Da's eyes blur with the barrage of messages, murmuring softly, “It's too much, it really is… too much!”

Not only did he gain 50,000 experience points, but he also leapt from level 13 to 16.

The system also awarded him 40,000 diamonds, which he could use to—ahem—thoroughly guide Lulu and Monica.

The cottage in the Back House system could also be upgraded, potentially unlocking new functions.

These gains alone left Lin Da feeling brimful and exceedingly content.

Yet, the major event was still to come—the loot dropped by the Goblin Chieftain.

Lin Da glanced at the walnut wood magic sword in his hand; this level 10 purple weapon, which he had used as a shield, was now riddled with cracks after being bashed by the Goblin Chieftain's Wolf Fang Club.

Now that he was level 16, it was time to change to a new main weapon.

Lin Da called over the sensor ladybug from the sky and invited those outside the screen to share in the joy of slaying the hidden magical creature with the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

The Goblin Chieftain's body dissipated into light and vanished, but one item remained where it was.

It was none other than the massive Wolf Fang Club it held, as thick as a tree.
