We're Going to Flip Over!

<Lin Yun> and the others were ambushing near that back door. Of course, they couldn't be invisible, so <Lin Yun> and his group could only describe their position as hiding around the gap.

Because it was a back door, and it was mostly naturally formed, the gap wasn't very large. It was already tight for one person to get through, especially for someone like <Lin Yun> wearing armor. Theoretically, it wouldn't be strange to get stuck in the middle and unable to move if they weren't careful. Therefore, <Lin Yun> and his group could only ambush from the outside.

However, while it was troublesome for <Lin Yun> and his group, for small creatures like <Goblins>, it was actually quite spacious for one <Goblin> to pass. If they squeezed a bit, two <Goblins> could even pass without much issue.

Then, with a rustling sound and some panting, three <Goblins> emerged from the gap.

The <Goblin> in the lead immediately spotted the villagers, their faces covered in sweat from nervousness, still filling in the pit. It let out a series of goblin-like noises and charged forward, intending to attack the villagers.

And then... they were attacked by <Lin Yun> and the others who were hiding behind.

This was <Lin Yun>'s tactic. After emerging from the gap, if one looked closely, they could actually spot <Lin Yun> and his group. However, <Lin Yun> had anticipated this and directly used the villagers as bait. Of course, this had been discussed beforehand.

The villagers on the other side were also understanding and brave. Or rather, the villagers who came here were not afraid of death. In fact, two of them were already prepared to charge forward with a fearless assault...

"D20+2+2=16, Hit." Since it was a surprise attack, the <Goblins> had no chance to react.

<Lin Yun> gripped his heavy mace with both hands, not even bothering with a shield. He brought the heavy mace down directly onto the back of the last <Goblin> that emerged. At that moment, <Lin Yun> seemed to hear the sound of bone breaking, a clear crack.

"D8+3=8" Using a weapon with both hands allows the Strength modifier to be multiplied by 1.5 and added to the damage. Since <Lin Yun>'s Strength was 14, this blow added +3 damage.

The heavy blow from behind caused the <Goblin> to stumble. Before it could react, it fell to the ground. Seeing <Lin Yun> attack, <Goddess Priestess> and the female <Magician> also began firing their light crossbows as planned.

The two girls pulled the triggers. Perhaps because <Goddess Priestess> had just gotten a little more familiar with it, her shot was surprisingly accurate, hitting the foremost <Goblin>. Although it was a light crossbow, it was still a bolt. The immense inertia was released from the bolt, causing the <Goblin> to stumble. However, this shot clearly didn't kill it.

As for the female <Magician>, it seemed due to her weak strength, her hand trembled as she fired. She shot the light crossbow near the feet of the <Goblin> in the middle, missing it entirely... It felt like this female <Magician> couldn't hit anything with ranged attacks unless it was a 100% hit spell like Magic Missile.

The <Female Fighter>, who had already begun charging, seeing the last <Goblin> fall, quickly moved to the middle <Goblin>. She swung her club, striking the <Goblin>'s neck and sending it flying, lying on its side with its eyes closed.

"Hu...man." The <Goblin> that noticed <Lin Yun> and the others' attack quickly turned around, somewhat startled. It charged towards <Lin Yun> holding a stone <Battle Axe>. However... just as it turned, the villagers behind it charged forward with their weapons.

Four villagers, holding what should have been pitchforks stuck in the ground, charged directly at the <Goblin>. The first and second prongs hit the <Goblin>, which hadn't reacted. Because the <Goblin> fell, the third prong missed. Seeing the fallen <Goblin>, the user of the third prong felt a sense of "Hmm, should I have acted?" It could only be said that this <Goblin> didn't die unjustly. Well, at least this was something only a demon hunter would usually enjoy.

After dealing with this small group, <Lin Yun> began to direct them to drag the <Goblin> bodies aside, finish them off, ah, no, finish hammering them, and then conceal them. The villagers continued filling the pit.

After about a minute, the <Goblins> below seemed to sense that something was wrong, and another group of <Goblins> ran over. <Female Fighter> cautiously peered from the edge of the gap and held up eight fingers to <Lin Yun>.

Eight <Goblins> at once! This surprised <Lin Yun>. Furthermore, <Lin Yun> could see <Female Fighter> gesturing like a beast and holding up two fingers.

Alright, 8 <Goblins>, 2 wolves. As expected, <Goblins>, while stupid, aren't entirely foolish.

"Awooo." As if sensing something, a wolf's howl came from the other side of the gap. Although the air circulation was poor due to the gap, a wolf's sense of smell was no joke. Although faint, the two wolves had clearly caught a whiff of blood and human scent.

After letting out a howl, a <Goblin> holding a spear, walking beside the wolves and initially appearing indifferent, began to react. Then, with a few goblin-like noises, the group of <Goblins> and the two wolves entered a combat-ready state.

Two <Goblins> directly mounted the wolves, brandishing their spears, and charged into the gap first. The remaining 5 <Goblins> began to cautiously enter the gap. However, one <Goblin> secretly moved backward as the others charged forward.

Although <Goblins> are stupid, they aren't fools. This <Goblin> clearly sensed that something was wrong and wanted to run back to report.

However, this was spotted by <Female Fighter>, who gestured to <Lin Yun>. These were pre-arranged signals. <Lin Yun> nodded slightly and then held out a hand to the female <Magician>.

The female <Magician> nodded. Then, <Lin Yun> said to the <Goblin> that was about to run back into the mine, "Come." The <Goblin>, which was about to run back into the cave, froze.

And then... it ran even faster...

"..." What the heck, it succeeded on the saving throw. <Lin Yun> stared blankly at the <Goblin> that had already disappeared from sight, dumbfounded.

On the other side, upon seeing <Lin Yun>'s appearance, these <Goblins>, who were already prepared, became even more agitated.

They charged towards <Lin Yun>. However, at this moment, <Lin Yun> shifted his body slightly, raising his shield. Behind him, the female <Magician> extended her delicate hand, "Burning Hand of Flame, transform, lightning."

A burst of electricity flickered in the female <Magician>'s hand, and then a fan-shaped lightning bolt spread out from her hand, covering a radius of 15 feet, or 3.3 meters. In simple terms, it enveloped all the <Goblins>.

Seven <Goblins> and two wolves. In that instant, 3 <Goblins> instinctively dropped to the ground. The two wolves also did the same simultaneously. However, this pushed the two <Goblins> on their backs directly in front of the Burning Hand, which had transformed into lightning damage. One of them should have been able to dodge, but unfortunately...

Only 2 <Goblins> and 2 wolves managed to narrowly avoid the center of the lightning strike. However, even so, they still took some damage.

The damage of a 1st-level spell, Burning Hands, was as high as 3 <D6>. With this blast, the <Goblins> that couldn't dodge the center damage in time were instantly covered in sparks, foaming at the mouth and rolling their eyes as they fell to the ground.

The two wolves and the two <Goblins> that had barely dodged the damage also suffered some harm. Even the normally grayish fur on the two wolves had become somewhat scorched.

Feeling the paralytic pain, the two wolves bared their teeth and lunged towards the female <Magician>. Whether it was due to the pain or the fact that the riders they had been "sold out" by were clearly blocked by <Lin Yun>, who was prepared, the two wolves could only attack <Lin Yun>.

Seemingly without casting Shield, and fueled by hatred and anger, the two wolves exploded like Super Saiyans. Being intelligent, they attacked <Lin Yun> with a speed he couldn't react to, biting his thighs from left and right, and began to tear and drag him.

"D20+2=17, Save successful."

"D20+2=6, Save failed." Caught off guard, <Lin Yun> was pulled to the ground by the wolf on his right. <Lin Yun>, who landed on his backside, felt a triple dose of pain.
