Magic "Camouflage" and the Trolls Blocking the Way

Information surfaced on the Attribute Panel.

It let Tang Zheng know that his sudden shout had just scared the other party out of hiding.

Crash—

Crash—

A large flock of birds flew out of the jungle and away into the distance.

Tang Zheng stared fixedly ahead. The jungle looked utterly peaceful, yet he still couldn't find any sign of a living creature.

After exploring for such a long time,

Tang Zheng had long since figured out some of the basic conditions for activating the "Player" ability.

That Goblin who had been following him had to be within his line of sight!

Otherwise, information wouldn't have appeared on the Attribute Panel.

The other party could hide from his vision and senses, but it couldn't fool the innate Talent "Player."

A 1st Tier spell, "Camouflage"?

A glint flashed through Tang Zheng's eyes. He knew that this spell could lower one's presence and disguise the caster by blending them into the surrounding jungle environment.

It was similar to a chameleon.

Moreover, this spell could only be used by Faith-based System Spellcasters.

Based on the Classes he had previously deduced,

there were only two possibilities: Forest Priest or Druid, both Basic Classes.

Of course, Forest Mage and some mid- and high-tier Classes could also use it. However, he didn't think that Goblin could possess any of those Classes.

A Druid?

Someone skilled at tracking who could also use Faith-based Magic.

Although Classes were divided into only three levels—basic, mid-tier, and high-tier—Classes of the same level still differed in strength.

For example, although a Paladin was a Warrior Class, it possessed all kinds of blessing skills and the ability to cast Faith-based Magic.

In terms of Class assessment, a Paladin was still categorized as a Warrior Class and wouldn't be added to the Spellcaster level.

The Druid was similar.

Of course, another possibility couldn't be ruled out!

The other party might possess the auxiliary-oriented Spellcaster Class "Forest Priest." If so, then they should also have a second Class skilled in tracking.

In other words, they were a dual-Class user!

These thoughts flashed rapidly through Tang Zheng's mind, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes.

Now that he had determined the general location, all that remained was to force the other party out.

Although the "Camouflage" spell was extremely well-suited for concealment in a jungle environment, the Spellcaster couldn't make any violent movements.

Rustle—

Rustle—

Just as Tang Zheng was about to charge out of the jungle passage, a violent noise suddenly came from the towering trees on both sides of the passage entrance.

The next moment!

Two enormous Trolls charged out of the forest, blocking the entrance to the narrow passage.

Seeing this,

Tang Zheng was stunned at first, then let out a cold laugh.

They were certainly well prepared!

These two Trolls were clearly meant to block the entrance. There had to be quite a few more Trolls in that Goblin group. If he rashly entered and the two Trolls blocked the passage in this terrain,

then even if he could execute them, it would waste his best chance to retreat. Once the other Trolls surrounded him, he would truly be in danger.

Bang!

Tang Zheng forcefully pushed off the ground with both feet. His already-running body accelerated once more, charging toward the entrance as swiftly as a cheetah.

"Quick Slash!"

A low shout rang out.

Before the two Trolls had even steadied themselves in the gap, Tang Zheng charged toward the Troll on the left and swiftly swung the Iron Sword horizontally!

Splurt!

Blood gushed out.

Powerful force poured from the blade. The Troll on the left was cut in half at the waist, and at such close range, its green blood splattered all over Tang Zheng.

He turned his head!

Tang Zheng paid it no mind and charged toward the Troll on the right.

Another swift slash!

Without the skill's enhancement, the sword's power and speed had clearly fallen by a notch.

Panic showed in the right-side Troll's eyes. However, unlike the Troll on the left, it had time to react and hurriedly raised the enormous wooden club in its hands to block in front of itself.

Crack—

The Iron Sword hacked into the wooden club. Splinters flew everywhere, and the thick club was forcibly cut through roughly two-thirds of the way before stopping.

The enormous force generated by Tang Zheng's swing even forced the Troll back a step.

A pity!

As Tang Zheng looked at the Troll that had blocked his attack, a look of regret appeared in his eyes.

His weapon was simply too poor.

If only he had a Magic weapon... No, even a weapon forged from excellent metal would have been enough. The other party wouldn't have been able to block that sword.

Seeing that it had blocked the terrifying attack from the human before it—an attack that had killed its companion with a single slash—

confusion appeared in the right-side Troll's eyes. It seemed unable to understand how its companion had been killed by one sword.

However, this sort of confusion

was clearly not worth pondering over to a Troll. It only knew that the human before it couldn't kill it. The panic faded from its face, replaced by a ferocious and Evil expression.

Its arm wielding the wooden club was being suppressed by the Iron Sword!

The Troll raised its other arm, clenched its hand into a fist, and fiercely smashed it toward Tang Zheng.

A fierce wind swept over!

Tang Zheng merely shifted sideways and easily dodged the punch.

Seeing its companion get killed so easily—if it were a human, it would have turned and run long ago. Yet it still launched a counterattack?

Tang Zheng kept his body half-turned and looked at the enormous fist that had roared past his eyes as he spoke mockingly.

The punch carried tremendous force. Being struck would certainly injure him, but if it didn't hit, it was meaningless.

Tang Zheng raised his idle left hand and aimed it at the Troll's heart. In an instant, an Iron Sword appeared in his left palm.

He thrust forward with all his strength!

The Iron Sword easily pierced through the Troll's rough, tough skin and plunged into its heart.

Aahhroar!!

He twisted the sword forcefully, and the Troll immediately let out an unbearably miserable howl.

Pfft!

The Iron Sword was pulled free.

Tang Zheng ignored the Troll as it collapsed in agony, stepped over the two Trolls, and walked toward the jungle ahead.

He had taken only a few steps when the information on the Attribute Panel refreshed.

"Experience gained: 310"

"Experience gained: 285"

"Experience: 3215/5000"

No matter how Toughness its vitality was, one having its body severed and the other having its heart pierced, neither lasted more than a few seconds before dying completely.

At the same time!

"Roar!!"

"Waa-roar!!"

"Aah-roar!"

"..."

Almost the instant he finished killing the two Trolls, beast-like roars suddenly erupted from the Goblin group behind him.

Tang Zheng turned his head and glanced backward. Just from what he could see, there were already five Trolls charging out of the jungle.

Obviously!

These Trolls had originally intended to wait until he entered the Goblin group before emerging. But now that they saw Tang Zheng not only fail to enter but instead leave, they could no longer hold back and charged out.

However!

The long, narrow jungle passage was completely unsuitable for multiple enormous Trolls to charge through at once. The group of Trolls became jammed in the passage, roaring incessantly.

"Tch, too slow."

Tang Zheng held an Iron Sword in each hand. A cold expression spread across his face as he turned back toward the jungle ahead.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng continuously swung the twin Iron Swords in his hands at the surrounding bushes, grass, and branches, destroying a wide area.

Broken green leaves and branches flew everywhere.

Although he didn't know where that Goblin was hiding, it was enough to destroy everything within this section of his line of sight!

At the same time!

Hidden only about ten meters from Tang Zheng, behind some grass beside a lush tree, that Goblin was trembling violently.

At that moment, the Goblin's entire body was the same color as the surrounding grass and trees. Not the slightest trace of its presence could be detected.

I'm going to die!

I'm definitely going to die!

The whites of the Goblin's eyes were filled with terror and panic, and its entire body kept trembling.
