Chapter 18: Double Advancement
They all had plain wooden spears made of large wooden sticks and fruit knives. Although these makeshift weapons were a bit crude, they were still practical, especially when fighting those small skinny goblins. The spear length of two meters was enough to suppress the monsters easily.
Followed by a rushing sound, Yunyun came out from the bushes where everyone was hiding. At this point, she was very nervous and excited at the same time. Her face was flushed, her gorgeous eyes were filled with an unfathomable frenzy, and her heart was racing as if she was going to die in the next second. Her heart skipped beats like it was about jump out of her chest, proving just how terrified she felt, yet she still strode forward recklessly. Yunyun never thought that one day she, too, would confront such monsters head-on.
The crowd met with the goblins as the battle was on the verge of breaking out. The strange screams of the goblins and the heated cries of humans intertwined together.
Yunyun didn’t find a suitable target at first, but it didn’t take long for an ugly goblin peon to approach her, screaming strangely, and rushed towards her immediately. Its speed was not fast, but its appearance was very scary.
Yunyun was terrified, and at this moment, she had a strong urge to turn around and run away, yes! Escape, escape as far as possible, escape from here, escape from this battle, escape from this group of terrifying monsters… But just then, a chilly and calm voice reappeared in her consciousness.
“You don’t need to underestimate yourself. In fact, you have great potential, no worse than Jin shi and Wang Chao. The most important thing is that you become aware enough to attempt and get stronger. It’s better to control your own destiny than to leave it in the hands of others… Don’t you think it’s a real pity to give up before trying?”
Can I really take charge of my own destiny like he said?
Such thoughts crept her mind. She understood that if she retreated here today, she would be greatly disappointed with herself.
Yunyun’s heart was suddenly agitated. She let out a loud cry and mustered up the courage to charge forward. The goblin peon’s club was a bit short and could only reach her if she got closer. Yunyun calculated the distance carefully, then swung her arms with all her effort, and the fruit knife that was connected to the end of the makeshift spear cut across the goblin peon’s chest, leaving a shallow wound.
