As the clouds dissipated, a chaotic camp was revealed.
In the camp, several shabby tents were set up, with piles of wood, iron pots, and weapon racks scattered haphazardly on the ground. At the center of the camp, a group of green-skinned creatures was gathered around a bonfire, stirring a large pot of bubbling liquid with unknown contents.
Upon seeing humans intruding, the green-skinned creatures immediately turned to face them. Han Xing locked eyes with them, taking in their sunken pupils, sharp fangs, and pointed ears. Their distinct features made him shout their name instinctively,
"Goblins!"
Han Xing hadn't expected to see creatures so common in video games in this world. Before him, their attributes appeared:
Goblin Warrior (One-Star Creature)
Level: 6
Strength: 31, Agility: 25, Spirit: 13, Constitution: 27
Skills: Savage Hammer Strike, Upward Slash
Goblin Shaman (One-Star Creature)
Level: 6
Strength: 14, Agility: 18, Spirit: 35, Constitution: 18
Skills: Fireball, Dark Mind Arts
Goblin Assassin
Goblin Taskmaster
Goblin Servants
There were eight goblins in total, including four level 6 goblins with specialized roles, a level 7 goblin taskmaster, and three level 5 goblin servants. This setup was strong, and the number of enemies was significant.
Once survivors reach level 6, their power skyrockets, and the monsters' attributes also gain a massive boost. Even with Han Xing's current stats, he couldn't afford to be careless.
As soon as the goblins spotted Han Xing, their eyes turned blood-red, and they raised their weapons, charging at him. At the same time, the Goblin Assassin twirled its dagger and vanished from sight.
"Roar!"
The Goblin Warrior led the charge, barreling forward like a runaway bull. In an instant, it was upon Han Xing.
"So fast!" Han Xing was taken aback. He quickly rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding the goblin's charge, and used his nearly 50 agility points to swiftly create distance between them.
Just then, a cold gleam flashed behind him. The Goblin Assassin had somehow appeared at Han Xing's back, and he felt a chill across his neck.
"Damn, we've got a sneaky one!"
Han Xing's scalp tingled with fear. As a hunter, having an assassin this close was extremely dangerous, especially when he was already outnumbered. He had even reached into his bag for a health potion, ready to down it after taking a hit.
But just then, a black flash darted toward the Goblin Assassin.
"Roar!" Coal let out an angry growl, clearly furious that the assassin had tried to sneak attack Han Xing.
Swipe! Swipe!
Coal's claws slashed across the goblin's face, instantly tearing off a chunk of flesh.
"Roar!"
The goblin assassin howled in pain and whirled around to find its attacker. Han Xing's eyes lit up, and he pulled back his longbow.
Skill: Windchasing Arrow Activated!
Just as he was about to release the arrow, Han Xing shifted his aim downward slightly, targeting the goblin assassin's... rear.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew at incredible speed, and at such close range, there was no chance for the goblin assassin to dodge. Han Xing heard the sound of flesh tearing as the arrow pierced through.
The goblin assassin's murky eyes widened in shock, and it glanced back at its rear, where the arrow had already sunk halfway in.
The next moment, a blood-curdling scream erupted.
"Ahhh!!!"
The scream stunned the other goblins, causing them to momentarily forget to continue attacking.
Han Xing gleefully clapped his hands and laughed. "Haha, serves you right, sneaky bastard!"
Before the goblin assassin could react, Han Xing fired a second arrow. It pierced straight through the back of its skull and out the other side.
With a cold gaze, Han Xing finished off the assassin, then drew his bow again, aiming at the remaining goblins.
At this point, the rest of the goblins snapped out of their daze. A massive fireball shot toward Han Xing, while two goblin warriors charged at him from different angles.
However, Han Xing's agility far exceeded that of the goblins. He sidestepped, easily dodging the fireball.
Coal prepared to intercept, but Han Xing gave him new orders: "Coal, go deal with the goblin at the back. Leave these two to me."
Coal, glowing with a dark light, darted toward the goblin shaman. The goblin taskmaster raised its massive bone hammer, swinging it furiously at Coal, and the three goblin servants were also drawn toward him.
With Coal taking on five goblins by himself, Han Xing's pressure was greatly reduced. Now, he only had two level 6 goblin warriors to deal with.
After the initial chaos, Han Xing found his rhythm. He quickly downed a Savage Bear Strength Potion, boosting his strength.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Skill: Double Arrow Activated.
Two arrows flew out. One struck a goblin warrior's leg, and the other hit the second warrior's shoulder, forcing them to halt their charge.
Han Xing took half a step back, preparing his next attack.
Skill: Multi-Shot Activated.
Unlike before, as Han Xing released his arrows, he felt a surge of power from within.
"It's the special effect of the Mooncrest Longbow! The Moonlight Flow has triggered!" Han Xing realized, feeling overjoyed. This multi-shot would be more powerful than ever!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The arrows pierced through the goblins, each hit sounding like it tore through leather.
In the next instant, two goblin warriors fell, each with several iron arrows embedded in their hearts and chests. Their hearts pierced, they died instantly!
The Mooncrest Longbow's power had finally been unleashed!
With the two goblin warriors down, only five goblins remained in the camp.
Coal continued his battle with the goblin taskmaster and shaman, moving with incredible speed. The three goblin servants flailed their wooden sticks around, but with their low stats, they couldn't even touch Coal.
Watching Coal dart between the goblins and clawing at them with his sharp claws, Han Xing decided to finish off the three goblin servants first, letting Coal handle the others a bit longer. With Coal's stats, it wasn't difficult for him to hold out for a while longer.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows flew out, each hitting a goblin servant. Drawn to Han Xing, they turned to face him.
However, Han Xing's attack power far exceeded what these level 5 creatures could withstand. Even without hitting a vital point, each arrow caused massive damage.

Within seconds, the three goblin servants collapsed.
Han Xing grinned. "Haha, weaklings are always easier to deal with."
Just then, the sky darkened. Han Xing instinctively looked up and saw a black moon appear in the sky above him!
