Chapter 1230: 641: Goblin Countermeasures
Ever since these goblins suffered Zong Shen’s aerial assault.
They immediately gathered multiple Goblin Shamans and carved a large Eye of the Poisonous Snake Totem Pillar.
With twelve Goblin Shamans casting together, they could summon a Tier Four Eye of the Poisonous Snake.
This Eye of the Poisonous Snake ignored everything else, focusing solely on watching the near-air zone.
The entire central area of the Goblin Tribe was still a stretch of scorched earth.
That was jointly caused by the [Goblin Bomb] and the [Lightning Storm Spell Scroll].
As soon as those Goblin Shamans issued the enemy-attack alarm.
A squad of Goblin Heroes immediately emerged from the surroundings.
They wore comparatively intact Battle Armor and quickly assembled with Battle Spears inscribed with Witchcraft Runes in their hands.
From nearby grass huts, one after another Olog Bats, each four to five meters long, were led out.
Iron chains were tied around the necks of these Olog Bats.
Their wide-open mouths were full of Sharp Teeth, with yellow, viscous saliva dripping onto the ground.
They seemed to loathe sunlight, almost dragged out by force.
All the Goblin Heroes mounted the Olog Bats.
Forming a small-squad Aerial Rider commando unit.
Bear in mind, this Goblin Tribe only had thirty-six Goblin Heroes in total.
Sending out twelve in one go showed just how seriously the goblins took their air defense.
And that wasn’t all: the King of Goblins, clad in exquisite Battle Armor, arrived with the remaining Goblin Heroes as well. A bell rang out, and everyone in the tribe was instantly mobilized.
Those Goblin Spear Throwers scrambled up to treetops or Sentry Towers, bracing for battle.
Bear Goblin Club Warriors raised their massive crude Wooden Shields, aiming them at the sky.
These Bear Goblins were mutants among goblins, each one burly and strong, much larger than ordinary goblins.
Their Wooden Shields were as big as door panels, the surfaces covered with Hard Hide from Wild Beasts or Magical Beasts.
For now no one knew how high their Shield Defense Value was, but it definitely wouldn’t be anything impressive.
However, when more than a hundred Bear Goblins raised their Wooden Shields, they formed an anti-air Shield Wall.
Leaving aside the Shield Wall’s actual defensive strength, at the very least it could serve as a barrier against falling bombs, forcing the bombs to explode on the shield surface—which was far better than them detonating only after hitting the ground!
Those Goblin Shamans also started to move.
To enhance the Power of their Witchcraft Casting, the Goblin Shamans grouped up six by six, cooperatively Casting, summoning huge Poisonous Snake Guards on the rooftops!
These Poisonous Snake Guards stood over two meters tall, their entire bodies formed from Amber-colored Witchcraft Energy, with light flowing across their surfaces.
They were flicking their tongues at the sky, Energy gathering in their serpent mouths.
The reason six Goblin Shamans had to cooperate to release them was that these Poisonous Snake Guards were all Tier Four, with two to three hundred meters of anti-air Range, and extremely impressive Damage.
They counted as a kind of aerial suppression firepower.
As the saying goes, “Once bombed from the air, fearful of bombs for ten years”—the goblins’ reaction today spoke volumes about the lingering terror from yesterday’s air raid.
Goblin Warriors brandished Dual Swords or carried Sword and Shield, covering the Goblin Shamans as they Cast.
Within barely more than ten seconds after the alarm was raised, the entire tribe had been mobilized.
The expression beneath the King of Goblins’ Battle Helmet was extremely grave.
The remaining twenty-four Goblin Heroes clustered around it.
Over these two days they had carried out Excavation, digging some trenches and tunnels as cover.
Right now, they were hiding in one half-open trench.
Behind them stood a Giant Crossbow, its whole body faintly red, its surface etched with countless black Witchcraft Runes.
The Crossbow Arms alone were about five meters long.
The Crossbow Arrow in the middle was as thick as a thigh, more than 1.5 meters in Length.
Its tip resembled sharpened bone stubs.
The shaft still had fascia and flesh upon it, constantly quivering.
The entire Crossbow Arrow looked like a living thing.
Wisps of Purple mist curled around the Crossbow Arrow.
Besides the one already loaded, another Crossbow Arrow was stuck into the ground on either side.
All three bizarre Crossbow Arrows were emitting Purple mist, making even the Space seem somewhat twisted.
Many of the Goblin Heroes around the King of Goblins had black scorch marks on their Battle Armor.
After all, just the day before yesterday they had tanked a direct hit from Zong Shen’s use of the [Lightning Storm Spell Scroll].
“Ancient Abu, how’s the Evil God’s Crossbow coming along?”
“Have all the accumulated offerings from the last two days been dedicated?”
The King of Goblins turned to look at a Goblin Hero standing behind it.
Its tone was urgent, but its voice was as deep as ever.
“My King, all offerings have been fully given in Devotion.”
“The blood-and-flesh offerings accumulated over the last two days are enough for the Evil God’s Crossbow to fire three times!”
The Goblin Hero named Ancient Abu bowed and reported truthfully.
Receiving a firm answer, the King of Goblins nodded.
“Good. Once that damned Human comes down, we’ll let him taste the Wrath of the Evil God…”
It clenched its fist, stared at the black dot in the sky drawing ever closer, and spoke word by word.
…
In the sky, Xiaoheizi was carrying Zong Shen in a high-speed dive toward the ground.
Because of Xiaoheizi’s own weight, its dive generated extremely intense wind pressure.
Dragon Scale and air rubbed violently, slightly slowing its descent Speed and rapidly heating its body surface.
After more than ten seconds, their altitude dropped to around seven to eight hundred meters.
Zong Shen didn’t even look, directly tossing out the two [Type IV Goblin Bombs] in his hand.
