Chapter 70: Eliminate And Destroy All Foreigners!
It was undeniable.
Back during the age of civilization, Huaxia’s Gaokao was tortuous.
However, if you attended the Gaokao again after knowing all the answers, that happy feeling of knowing everything was within your control would definitely make someone faint from happiness.
“Are they here?”
“Woff!”
Su Mo sprawled on the elevated portion of a gentle slope and patted Oreo, who was still panting after having run over.
Su Mo could not stop his heart from racing when he saw Oreo nod obediently.
In Su Mo’s line of sight, messy gra.s.s spread across a patch of scorched yellow soil some 60 meters in front of him. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
However, as he watched the kobolds come closer and closer without changing their route, a smile tugged on the corner of Su Mo’s lips.
“Dogs… even if they’ve evolved into humans, they still adhere to their old habits in some ways…”
The path the kobolds had taken when they arrived and now when they were returning.
If you took a closer look at the footprints, you would notice that these messy footprints were actually traveling across a predetermined pathway.
Even more, after multiple times of travel, the gra.s.s here had slowly been trampled to death, and it was slowly evolving to become a “road”.
Su Mo had a sudden whim when he hurried over from the saltpeter mine and observed that these animals had not changed their route after so many times!
He hurriedly dug out a trap in the middle of the path where he wanted to ambush them.
The kobolds weighed so little it was almost pitiful, which meant the trap would not collapse if they stepped on it. However, if they walked over it with the cartload of saltpeter, he was a hundred percent sure they would fall.
Then, the kobolds would have to think of a way to pull the car back up.
Of course, as they thought, they would find themselves brainstorming in the underworld.
“Don’t change, don’t change. Yes, yes, yes. Walk over it just like that. Well done!”
Boom!
As Su Mo muttered quietly, four kobolds were pulling at the front while two other kobolds pushed from the back. They had just walked over the trap when the cart fell into it with a boom.
One of the kobolds who had been pus.h.i.+ng from the back used too much strength and ended up falling in as well. It barked out in pain.
“Woof woof hiss hiss!!”
“Woof woof awoo!”
As the Kobold Mage barked loudly, all the Kobold Warriors immediately formed a protective circle around their three most precious Kobold Mages.
All the kobolds looked around them warily.
The Kobold Mage even raised its staff so that it could summon magic at a moment’s notice.
However…
A minute pa.s.sed by…
Three minutes pa.s.sed by…
FIve minutes pa.s.sed by!
A gust of wind howled and blew a leaf onto the face of the kobold on the outermost circle.
It seemed that even the wind was mocking them for trying to outsmart the wind.
Half a second later, as if realizing they had been scaring themselves, the kobold team immediately stepped out of their formation and began laughing as they barked.
“Woof~ Woof woof woof!”
While the Kobold Warriors began thinking of ways to pull the mine cart out, the Kobold Mages sat down beneath the shade of some trees.
The kobolds all took turns to work on the large hole, and it became ever so lively as they worked hard.
As gusts of refres.h.i.+ng breezes blew, one Kobold Mage could no longer stand it, walking over to stand there and order everyone around.
Two remaining Kobold mages sat beneath the shrubbery.
The atmosphere was so safe and peaceful that all the kobolds had let down their guard.
The Kobold Mage sitting on the left put down its staff and began chatting listlessly to the other Kobold Mage sitting beside it.
Sadly, after about four or five minutes, it realized that it had been a long time since its companion gave it any reaction. The kobold sitting on the left turned its head around curiously.
Just one minute ago, the kobold in his line of sight had been fine. Now, a black arrow was sticking out from its neck.
Now, a look of terror appeared in the kobold’s eyes, and it hurriedly stood up to yell loudly.
However, the next second…
An identical-looking black arrow found its way to the center of its neck. Jet-black colored blood flowed from the hole it made.
“No wonder it’s called a premium grade noiseless crossbow. I think not even a sniper would have been able to achieve this effect.”
The two Kobold Mages had died without understanding what had happened, and that did not affect his later kills.
After firing the last crossbow arrow, Su Mo switched to using a normal crossbow arrow as he aimed at the last Kobold Mage and gently pulled the trigger…
A flash of blood splattered onto the narrow pa.s.sage!
The last danger!
Dead!
When all three Kobold Mages had been taken care of, not only did the kobold team lose its commanding masterminds, but it also lost the ability to battle from a distance.
The pitiful Kobold Warriors could do nothing except form a circle and howl nonstop as one by one, they were taken down by Su Mo’s arrows.
A twelve-person team.
By the time all the crossbow arrows had been fired, only four kobolds were left.
Now, the kobold team was on the brink of collapse.
Without making a sound, Su Mo made a gesture in the air and five crossbow arrows appeared in his hands. He had loaded them into the magazine the next second.
Three…
Two…
One…
When there was only one left, the Kobold Warrior suddenly imitated the Kobold Mage that had surrendered before as it lay on the ground in submission.
“Surrendered again? Looks like the kobold’s urge to battle will disappear when there are too many injuries and deaths?”
As Su Mo sprawled on the ground and confirmed again that there was only one kobold left, he got an idea as he cut off the power to the electric crossbow and put it back into the storage s.p.a.ce.
The next second, a fine iron electric spear appeared from thin air. Su Mo held it in his hands.
“Oreo, help me hold down the fort!”
Su Mo growled out as he stood out from the ground.
Now, the kobold lying on the floor spotted Su Mo immediately. At the same time, much of the fear in the kobold’s eyes disappeared.
Furthermore, in Su Mo’s line of sight.
The Kobold Warrior stood up again and stared unblinkingly at him as it held its spear.
“What’s up? Want to continue battling with me? Come, come. Come over and try me!”
Clad in light armor, electric spear in hand, and dressed in combat uniform.
When the two were compared, the Kobold Warrior looked like a primitive man. They were miles apart just in terms of gear.
One step after the other, walking as the demon did.
Su Mo did not stop moving forth. As the distance between them shortened, he could see clearly…
The Kobold Warrior had clutched its spear so tightly that it had become slightly twisted.
Its eyes showed a look of viewing death as a return home!
“Alright! Come over and battle with me!”
When there were less than twenty meters between them, Su Mo yelled loudly and clutched his electric spear in his hands as he charged forth.
The Kobold Warrior immediately followed suit and charged forth when it saw what was happening.
The kobold that looked immeasurably weak turned its thorns into smashes when the two were just about to collide with each other.
Thump!
In the next instant, a low, rumbly noise echoed throughout the air and caused the very air to vibrate.
He took the opportunity to kick his leg out and kick the still confused kobold more than three meters away.
“Amazing. Amazing. You are far from enough if you think you could hit me with this strength!”
An eager look flashed in Su Mo’s eyes as he kicked the kobold’s spear at his feet over to the kobold, signaling that he wanted another battle.
The Kobold Warrior’s dignity was greatly injured when it saw how provoking Su Mo was being. It howled as it climbed back up onto its feet and charged while holding the spear.
The sounds of metal and gold clanging rang through the air.
Su Mo merely defended and did not attack, thinking he could use this opportunity to practice his melee sparring and hacking.
“Top shelf bullet cut!”
“Horse stance side strike!”
“Cross kick whip!”
The Kobold Warrior seemed to have the upper hand as it attacked again and again, but Su Mo managed to defend himself and return the attack every time.
The battle went on for another three to five minutes.
As Su Mo managed to side-dodge the Kobold Warriors, again and again, he changed his spear into a whip and hit the kobold so that it would stumble. As the Kobold Warrior’s weapon dropped behind him, it decided to give up and lie down on the ground.
Not battling anymore!
“Huh?”
“That’s all? That’s all?”
As he felt streams of energy pump through his arms, and then looked at the panting kobold lying on the ground.
Su Mo glanced at Oreo, who was beside him, in surprise.
“Ah? Have I already become this strong?”
A smile appeared on Su Mo’s face when he saw the gloomy look on the Kobold Warrior’s face.
And he took advantage of the situation to sit beside it.
“Oreo, translate this for him. Tell him I said… We can continue fighting once he’s rested. No rush, there’s still a lot of time left in today.”
When Oreo heard what Su Mo said, she trotted over lazily.
And began barking in a dialect she was fluent in to communicate.
The Kobold Warrior had not expected Su Mo to not hold any martial virtues at all, bringing a translator along with him even when he went out to fight.
When it heard Su Mo’s “friendly” request, its entire being froze.
Fear was evident in its eyes as it looked toward Su Mo.
The next second, the kobold which had previously been sprawled on the ground utilized both its arms and feet as it tried to leave the battlefield swiftly.
However…
Thump thump!
The buzzing sound of electricity could be heard intertwined amidst the two thumps.
A black figure flitted by behind the kobold.
The buzzing electric spear seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning. When it came back into focus, it had already traveled through the kobold’s chest.
“I said I would wait for you to come to battle. Since you wanted to run, I had no choice but to send you down…”
After he pulled out the electric spear, cut off its power supply, and wiped the kobold’s blood off the tip of the spear.
Su Mo sighed as he walked back toward the large hole to check the ma.s.sive loot he had obtained from this battle.
Black-colored blood gushed from the kobolds’ chests and spilled onto the gra.s.s.
As they died, he seemed to cross the barrier set by their race and understand the sentence echoing through the air;
“Military-style boxing…”
“It’s so scary!”
