Early the next morning, the girls, who had finally recovered from Fangzheng's "Fast and Furious", lifted their spirits and continued their journey to the depths of the Forest of Life.
Fangzheng was a little unhappy about this. Although the Forest of Life was uninhabited and there were no roads for vehicles to travel on, Fangzheng believed that with the Wanderer's ability, it would not be a problem for them to carve out a path. As the saying goes, there are no roads in the world, but there are roads when there are more people walking on them ….
But Fangzheng's idea was strongly opposed by the others.
"This forest is the home of the Elves. If we destroy it wantonly, we'll anger the Elves!"
This was what Hayrien said.
"Mr. Fangzheng, please give up this dangerous idea of yours, or you'll lose the blessings of the Goddess!"
This was what Fina desperately tried to dissuade him.
"I, I think …. Hiking in nature is also very fun …."
This was the request of Katie, who had finally regained consciousness after being unconscious for a whole night.
"Sigh …. What a pity …."
Only the female Astrologer had a look of sorrow and disappointment on her face, which made Fangzheng feel that he was not alone anymore.
Unfortunately, the minority had to obey the majority. This time, even Nimf and Charmander did not stand on Fangzheng's side. When Fangzheng was about to approach the Wanderer, Charmander desperately bit Fangzheng's clothes and pulled him back ….
At this point, it was impossible for Fangzheng to persist, so he could only let them be.
As the core area of the Land of Order, the Forest of Life naturally would not have a scene of monsters crawling all over the ground and a boss leading the party to attack a city. But this did not mean that it was a peaceful place. Chaos and Order were mortal enemies, but Order was not a monolithic entity. Not all the evil monsters were the minions of Chaos, and there were even many people of Order. For example …. Katie, who was in charge of exploring the forest as the vanguard, brought them a piece of news.
"There are 20 goblins 200 meters ahead!"
Speak of the devil, and he will appear.
"Twenty Goblins?"
After hearing Katie's report, Fina and the others' expressions changed slightly. Then, they looked at Fangzheng and Nimf nervously.
"Mr. Fangzheng …"
"Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll hold the fort for you."
If Fangzheng were to make a move, not to mention 20 goblins, even 200 goblins would be killed in an instant. However, he was very clear that he was only here as an assistant, and the real "examinees" were Fina and the others. Therefore, Fangzheng would not steal their scenes. This was also the rule of the assessment. After all, according to the Lawful Alliance's assessment, those who were able to participate in this assessment were members who were about to be promoted to an official profession. On the other hand, "foreign candidates" like Fangzheng were much stronger than them. If there were no restrictions, it would be like a max-level veteran leading a newbie to a dungeon.
"Ahhhh!!"
At that moment, Charmander, who was lying on Fangzheng's shoulder, raised its head and squeaked at the controls in front of it. At the same time, the girls held their breaths and stared ahead vigilantly, then slowly moved forward. Fangzheng naturally brought Nimf to the rear to hold the fort, while carefully observing the girls in front of him.
It was obvious that before Fangzheng joined, the girls had already discussed what to do if they encountered a battle, so they quickly entered a battle state.
But … in Fangzheng's opinion, this team was a little strange.
First, there was Hayleen. In Fangzheng's opinion, this girl in heavy armour with a greatsword on her back should be the main MT of the team. He did not expect her to carry the greatsword and run to the rear of the team. Instead, Fina put away her scepter and searched around in her portal bag. She took out a shield and a meteor hammer and walked in front ….
As for the Astrologer girl …. Fangzheng saw her looking down at her astrolabe and chanting an incantation in a low voice.
"Archer who shines above the starry sky, please lend me your power, so that my arrows can destroy all evil!"
Following the chanting of the incantation, spots of starlight appeared in the Astrologer girl's hand and surrounded her. Then, Fangzheng saw a phantom figure wearing a cloak and holding a bow and arrow appear out of thin air. It fused with the Astrologer girl as if it had possessed her. The Astrologer girl raised her right hand, and a longbow condensed from starlight appeared in her hand.
… …..
Fangzheng could not understand what was going on at all. The main damage dealer in heavy armour with a greatsword had moved to the rear, while the cleric who assisted in healing had taken up the role of MT with a shield and a meteor hammer. The Astrologer girl, who was obviously a caster, had taken up the role of an archer ….
It seemed that only Miss Katie was more suitable for his class setting.
Could these people be any more unreliable?
"Waaaaaaa!!"
At this moment, the bushes in front of them shook. Then, several green-colored monsters that were only half the height of an adult jumped out of the forest. They had not evolved and looked like shaved monkeys. They were holding spears and wooden shields in their hands.
These were the monsters that adventurers loved to see for leveling up, the goblins.
"Holy Armour! Gift of Courage!! "
Fina's reaction wasn't slow either. As soon as the goblins jumped out, she shouted. Beams of holy light descended from the sky and fell on the girls, forming translucent radiant armours. The female Astrologer, who was standing not far behind Funa, raised her Longbow and nocked an arrow. She was like a seasoned archer who had been through hundreds of battles. She shot out an arrow, and the Goblin who jumped out to seek his death was shot in the head.
"Waaaah!!"
However, the death of their companion didn't stop the other goblins. On the contrary, the smell of blood stimulated their ferocity. Before the goblin's corpse fell to the ground, the other monsters had pounced on the target in front of them.
And at that moment, Hayleen made her move. Fangzheng watched as she pulled out the greatsword on her back and stabbed it into the ground. Then, Hayleen closed her eyes and gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.
"Heh … Ahhhhh!!!"
Along with Hayleen's low roar, an incomparably pure, bright red flame suddenly erupted from the greatsword. Fangzheng saw the spiralling flames instantly entwined, condensed, and transformed into a huge flaming tiger, which roared and charged at its enemies.
Facing the sudden appearance of the flaming tiger, the goblins were obviously a little dumbfounded. As a creature composed entirely of elements, the flaming tiger naturally wasn't afraid of the spears, swords, and other weapons in the hands of the goblins. The weapons that the goblins wielded passed through the flaming tiger's body as if they were slashing the air. On the other hand, the flaming tiger only needed to slap them with its paw to immediately turn them into ashes as they were engulfed in flames.
Unlike the flaming tiger's tyrannical battle, Fina's battle was rather methodical and methodical. Previously, when she acted with Fangzheng, perhaps because Fangzheng was in the frontline, she had been doing her own job. And now, she finally displayed her melee combat ability. With the buff of 'Brute Strength', she swung the meteor hammer in her hand vigorously, smashing the brains of the unlucky goblins who couldn't dodge in time. Even if the goblins were lucky enough to block Fina's attack, they would be smashed away and turned into ashes by the flaming tiger's paw.
As for the rarely seen Miss Katie, her fighting style was also beyond Fangzheng's expectations.
Generally speaking, a profession similar to a rogue would either backstab, set traps, or shoot from a distance. But this young lady's fighting style was extraordinarily different — she was actually casting magic from the side!
That's right, a rogue, relying on her heaven-defying Sneak, was casting all kinds of magical equipment from the side as if they were free!
Looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him and the goblins who were already screaming in pain, Fangzheng sighed helplessly.
