Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Level 5! Clover Mantis!

In the first carriage, the shrine had transformed into a prayer room.

The dazzling golden light streamed through the gaps of the prayer room, where the Prayer Fragments floating above the Prayer Tablet burst into a blinding glow.

The golden light, seemingly meandering through the river of stars, was like a bolt of gold lightning, passing through the window, sweeping over the giant trees and rushing into the forest.

A sudden surge of anticipation welled up within Char:

Would it be the house insect, house bird, or house mouse this time?

Hopefully not the house mouse.

In games and cartoons, mice were quite adorable.

But in reality?

Char didn’t think the house mouse would be adorable; he preferred the house bird or the house insect instead.

Hopefully, it would not be the house snake either, as he was afraid of snakes.

In the bushes, an astonishing burst of light erupted.

But at this moment, the battle had reached a crucial point.

From behind, the previously injured Bear Goblin, led by several Big Goblins and numerous goblins, charged toward the carriage.

As the saying goes, enemies turn red with rage upon encountering each other. As soon as the Bear Goblin boarded the carriage, it roared and charged at the Lantern Firefly.

At this time, having undergone “aromatic healing,” the Lantern Firefly had regained some of its magic power and vigor. Being fearless in the face of danger, it struggled to its feet, the lantern flared brighter, and it exerted all its strength to launch another “Red Glow.”

Char couldn’t help it, as he had more enemies to face than the Lantern Firefly.

Streaks of emerald light cut through the air, shooting down one goblin after another. At the same time, the Wind Winged Horse unleashed its skill— “Wind Blade Burst.”

Countless aqua-colored wind blades swept forward like a flurry of knives.

But whether it was Char’s arrow feathers or the Wind Winged Horse’s wind blades, they were only highly effective against the goblins and Big Goblins, and not so much against the Bear Goblin.

Although a Level 3 archer was stronger than a Bear Goblin, it was not enough to completely dominate; the three Bear Goblins, aiding each other, could still block Char’s arrows, only slightly slowing down their pace.

On the roof of the carriage, the Bear Goblin and the Lantern Firefly had begun their deadly clash.

Both had a Challenge Level of 2, evenly matched.

Though the Bear Goblin was at a disadvantage against such a small and agile opponent as the Lantern Firefly and could hardly manage it,

conversely, the Lantern Firefly found it very troublesome to deal with an opponent as large and tough as the Bear Goblin.

Hence, their battle was deadlocked, both feeling very uncomfortable, yet neither could overpower the other.

But with both sides’ strongest combatants tied up, the situation looked dire for the Lotus Leaf Frog, Star Worm, and Betty, as they were outnumbered.

The goblins let out increasingly excited shrieks, attacking wildly, causing perilous moments for the Star Worm and Lotus Leaf Frog.

In an unlucky moment, a Big Goblin struck the Lotus Leaf Frog, sending it flying straight into the bushes nearby.

Seeing this, a more bloodthirsty smile appeared on the face of the Bear Goblin, and it swung its nail head hammer even more fiercely.

The nail head hammer grazed the Lantern Firefly and struck the roof of the carriage, actually chiseling a slight dent into the tough ironwood.

It’s dreadful to imagine what the scene would have been like if the carriage had still not been upgraded and was still made from thin oak.

Probably, the Bear Goblin would have already smashed through the roof and killed its way into the carriage, right?

Just as the Star Worm and Betty were about to be hit, suddenly, countless emerald light leaves flew out from the bushes alongside the road.

Countless green leaves converged like a swarm of green butterflies, fluttering toward them.

Blood!

Copious amounts of blood spurted out.

Wherever the emerald light leaves passed, goblins bore wounds all over their bodies, with blood gushing out desperately from these wounds, quickly staining the carriage crimson, giving the iron-black carriage a dark red hue.

It was like a green leaf storm had swept through, and when the storm had abated, there were hardly any left standing on the carriage.

Aside from Char’s allies like the Lantern Firefly and Star Worm, the only enemies still standing were that Bear Goblin and its two accompanying Big Goblins.

The rest had already fallen.

The small-framed, weak-skinned goblins were dismembered outright.

The larger, tougher-skinned Big Goblins also bore terrifying wounds; even the wooden sticks in their hands had snapped into pieces, leaving nothing of the goblins but their whole corpses.

This scene not only scared the remaining Bear Goblin and Big Goblins on the carriage half to death, but also caused those still in pursuit and those who were encircling to come to an abrupt halt in terror.

In the bushes, suddenly two streaks of emerald light soared into the sky like two curved willow leaves, heading straight for the Bear Goblin.

The sudden noise gave the goblins at the front and back such a fright that they retreated a few steps instinctively, like startled birds.

The Bear Goblin hastily raised its hammer to block, but to no avail!

The two willow-leaf streaks of emerald light suddenly elongated and then intertwined, snapping fiercely.

With two soft sounds, the nail head hammer was already broken, and the Bear Goblin’s motion to block with the hammer abruptly stopped, coming to a sudden halt.

One second later, the Bear Goblin’s massive head fell.

A great spurt of blood shot up like a crimson fountain, reaching two to three meters high.

The cut was smooth and even, as neither the tough skin nor the hard spine obstructed the two light sabers, as effortless as cutting through tofu.

After losing its head, the Bear Goblin’s body stood erect for two or three seconds before falling heavily.

In that instant, all eyes at the scene focused on the figure intersecting the two willow leaf light sabers suspended in front of the Bear Goblin.

It was a green figure, varying in shades from deep to light; the darkest a moody moss green, and the lighter areas a mix of grass green, light green, and fresh green.

The New Magic Pet was also small in stature, but a bit bigger than the Lantern Firefly, standing about thirty centimeters tall.

The pale green wings vibrated in the air like a light green shade.

It resembled a mantis, with a triangular head and blade-like forelimbs similar to those of a mantis, but the membrane wings on its back were much longer and wider than those of a mantis and appeared almost transparent, tinged with a hint of light green.

Beyond that, this Demon Beast also bore clover-shaped patterns on its body; the deep green color predominantly came from these clover patterns.

This was a Demon Beast that resembled both a mantis and a grasshopper.

[Introduction]:Clover Mantises are the doctors and guardians of the forest, naturally kind-hearted, and fond of helping and healing injured animals in the forest, known as the “Forest Doctor.” However, if anyone underestimates them because of this, they are sorely mistaken. Apart from their kind nature, Clover Mantises also have a fierce side. Insect-type Demon Beasts are often weak, but Clover Mantises are not among them; their combat power is astonishing, and many notorious Demon Beasts appear on their diet.
