BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 First Job-2
\'Wait what I am doing? If I were to shoot one of them down, still six would be left. Two of them even have a bow and arrow, they could be laced with poison. I need to think this very carefully before acting.\' He thought.
The two archers were his main concern, the rest of them would be easy targets, if their poison arrows touch his skin, he would die for sure. He started hesitating, about what to do and what not to do, while he was panicking goblins were getting away, he needed to make a decision now, but it is then suddenly he yelled inwardly yell \'fuck it!\'
He would not get this opportunity again, he knocked an arrow and aimed it at one of the archers, he took a very deep breath, and let it go. The arrow swam through the air and struck that little guy at its back.
That monster went down, seeing this all the goblins started panicking, the four goblins who were carrying carcasses, let it go. They instantly took out their weapons and started looking here and there, trying the spot the enemy.
Seeing them disoriented, he figured that this was the perfect opportunity for him, he immediately knocked another arrow, and let it slip toward another goblin archer, the arrow struck that one straight in his eye, killing it, indefinitely.
With his last arrow, his position was revealed, the rest of the goblins rushed toward him, with knives, he send back his quiver and bow in inventory and brought out his sword, and rushed toward them.
He was faster than before and had more resolve, thus with one swing of his sword, the freshly minted blade, courtesy of Jurgen and Hillary, he was able to cut one of them in half.
One of them tried to stab him, with only the weight of the sword in his hands, his body moved more freely and he avoided the stab by stepping sideways. Then quickly he swung his sword chopping off the head of the second goblin.
The third one jumped on him, but from the corner of his eye, he saw it coming towards him, he immediately brought out his shield and blocked the incoming attack with ease. He parried the little guy\'s body and threw him to the side.
As the fourth one did jump on him, it was met with his sword in mid-air, which swiftly and effortlessly slice through its flesh, cutting him in half. After that, he put his sword and shield back, and took out his spear, aimed it at the third goblin, who had stood up by then and was running toward him.
The poor little guy didn\'t notice the spear until it was too late, it tried to stop and turn around, but his spear was faster.
SPLICH
The spear tore through its torso, impaling him. He sighed with relief, and couldn\'t help but smile at his accomplishment. He had grown stronger than before.
SPLICH
Something struck his back, he turned around his head to see a small arrow had pierced his back, the second archer was still alive, it was on his knees and had shot him. Immediately he took out the arrow and threw it away.
Now enraged that he had let his guard down, he took out another spear and threw it at the goblin, killing it…

BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP
His heartbeat was getting louder and louder, he didn\'t know how much time he has. He remembers clearly what Grump told him about the goblins…
"They are very nasty fuckers. When they spawn, they dont show much intelligence but leave them be, and they get smart fast. Make all kinds of weapons like axes, swords, bows, and arrows, etc. Then they get smart enough that they start setting up traps, they get nasty very fast. And the worst thing is their archers, they dip their arrows in poison that could kill a person in the most brutal way possible within 15 mins or so."
He didn\'t know whether this arrow was covered in poison or not, but he couldn\'t help but feel afraid, he constantly look at his body for signs that he had been poisoned, but found none.
He sat down under a nearby tree, knowing that this was his last movement, he could feel the poison working up, after all, he was hyperventilating, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster as time passes by.
With his last breath, he started thinking about all the regrets that he had, he wanted to find love, marry, build a house, and live a good life surrounded by loved ones. It was very wierd dream to have, but it was his. But it seems, all of his dreams were for nothing.
Tears started falling down his eyes, he didn\'t want to die, not yet at least, but there was no way out for him now.
\'MOTHER FUCKER WHY DIDN\'T YOU CHECK THE BODY OF THAT LITTLE TWERP! I should have never let my guard down. And now…\' he yelled at himself…
After 20 min of struggling, he started to realize that maybe he was fine, because now he had calm down, he felt fine…
He checked his body over and over again, and found no anomaly. \'Maybe the symptoms were because of my panicking, not the symptoms of poisoning.\'
He pushed himself up, brought a blanket from his inventory, tore it into strips of clothes, and wrapped his wound with one of those strips. He then stored the body of deer in his inventory, brought a blanket out, chopped and wrapped the five bodies of the goblins, and started heading back…
By the time he got the Vecrus, he realized that he was panicking for no particular reason at all. He was fine. There was no venom in his bloodstream and he would probably turn out fine.
With all the bodies, he first went to Adventurer Guild, where he submitted the bodies, earning himself 1 silver and 20 bronze coins. After that, he made his way toward a healer\'s tent and got himself fixed up with some stitches.
He could have used the healing potion, but he decided to save that for emergencies...
