"Instant Reflex! You can die for me, crack! Crack—!" As the stalemate dragged on, the blade of the Iron Sword gradually cut into the thick wooden club.
In the end, the wooden weapon in the Ogre's hand was at a greater disadvantage, and it was cut off by Tang Zheng's Iron Sword.
The broken end flew out, smashing into the ground in the distance, splashing dust.
The Ogre's ferocious face looked at the broken weapon in its hand, its face showing not only confusion and astonishment, and it couldn't help but take a step back.
With its intelligence only slightly stronger than a Goblin, it couldn't understand why the strength of this weak human food in front of it would be greater than its own.
While the Ogre was in a daze, Tang Zheng looked at the wide-open chest of the Ogre.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he didn't care about his numb arm at the moment. While gripping the hilt of the sword tightly, he pointed the tip of the sword upwards and quickly charged forward, crashing into the Ogre's chest.
Puchi!
The sharp tip of the Iron Sword pierced into the Ogre's rotten chest, and under the force of the impact and the upward-pointing tip, it pierced fiercely into the left heart!
"Pain, pain, awoo!"
The great pain made the Ogre almost go crazy, "Food, human food!"
Even after suffering such a heavy blow, the Ogre still had the strength to raise its two huge palms and grab towards Tang Zheng in front of its chest.
The two were so close at this moment that Tang Zheng had almost no chance to dodge.
But.
"Instant Reflex!" A layer of light blue light appeared all over Tang Zheng's body.
The next moment! Tang Zheng's body seemed to rewind time. Under the flashing of the blue light, he quickly retreated, back to the position he was in when he attacked.
Bang! The Ogre's hands fell, colliding together, making a muffled sound, and the thick arms grabbed empty.
As Tang Zheng used the skill "Instant Reflex" to retreat, the Iron Sword was also pulled out along with him, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the Ogre's wound!
Under this circumstance.
The severe pain made the Ogre let out a beast-like roar and pant.
Even with its heart pierced, its strong vitality still did not kill the Ogre immediately. Instead, it staggered and kept raising its hand to grab towards Tang Zheng's direction, but eventually fell to the ground.
Thump! Dust flew up.
But even so.
The Ogre lying on the ground was still twitching and struggling slightly.
Seeing this scene.
Tang Zheng did not step forward to finish off the Ogre. He would not make the same mistake as Dosari, the captain of the 'Rock' team.
"Food will also fight back, so you can die for me." Tang Zheng indifferently watched the Ogre struggling on the ground.
As the battle ended, his heart relaxed.
Hiss~ Tang Zheng took a slight breath of cold air, and the pain and numbness in his tiger's mouth and arm surged, and at the same time, even his whole body began to feel distended and painful.
This was obviously the after-effect of using "Instant Reflex".
The Martial Arts "Instant Reflex" is a Martial Arts that allows the unbalanced body or movement to forcibly return to the posture before the attack after the attack.
It is very effective in dodging the opponent's attacks.
However, this kind of unnatural behavior of forcibly restoring posture will cause a certain burden on the whole body.
He glanced at the HP on the attribute panel.
The health value has not decreased.
A trace of thought flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes.
It seems that the physical damage caused by "Instant Reflex" does not reduce health points... No, perhaps it has not yet reached the level of reducing health points.
Buzz—
『Gained 320 Experience Points』!
The information on the attribute panel appeared.
"Is it dead?"
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the Ogre's corpse, noticing the information that had reappeared on his stats panel.
Experience Points: 1271/1500
Dealing with a small Goblin tribe, plus an Ogre, had significantly increased his Experience Points.
Tang Zheng rested briefly, swinging his arm to alleviate the fading numbness, and approached the corpses of the Ogre and the other Goblins to cut off their ears.
At the same time, he began searching the small tribe.
As a Player, how could he forget to search for loot?
Unfortunately.
After searching extensively, Tang Zheng found nothing of value in the entire small Goblin tribe, except for a large number of bones and leftover rotting flesh.
Tang Zheng wasn't too disappointed; he hadn't expected to find anything valuable in the first place.
He walked to the two remaining human corpses, paused in silence, then sighed and turned away.
He didn't bother digging a pit to bury the bodies, as it would be pointless.
It would not only waste his energy, but in a forest environment like this, even if the bodies were buried, wild animals would smell them out and dig them up.
Unless he burned the corpses to ashes.
But starting a fire in the dim forest would attract too much attention and pose a significant risk to Tang Zheng himself.
He knew that the real danger in this area wasn't Goblins and Ogres, but the Ogre Tribe, the true rulers of this region.
...
Night gradually fell.
Even during the day, the dense foliage of the trees blocked most of the sunlight, allowing only glimpses of moonlight to filter through the gaps.
The entire forest became pitch black, and the roars of wild animals became much clearer.
In this environment where human vision was severely limited,
Without mastering the Night Vision skill or other means of moving at night, Tang Zheng naturally wouldn't make any rash moves.
He chose a relatively sturdy tree.
Tang Zheng climbed onto a solid branch, took out the sturdy Black Robe he had purchased from his Item Box, put it on, and leaned against the tree to rest.
To be honest, it was a bit uncomfortable.
The branches were hard and digging into him, and the constant chirping of insects and howling of wild animals in the forest kept him in a state of tension.
"Well, might as well enjoy this little bit of comfort."
Tang Zheng wrapped himself in the Black Robe, looked up, and gazed at the stars and bright moonlight through the leaves.
In the eastern outskirts of the Tove Great Forest, the only real troubles were Goblins and Ogres. After fighting the Ogre, Tang Zheng had a basic understanding of its fighting style and strength.
It was indeed troublesome for him, but definitely not a threat.
So, although he was a little tense, he wasn't particularly nervous.
Instead, he peacefully admired the moon of this other world.
"Compared to being a workhorse in my previous life, this life of wielding power, although dangerous, gives me a sense of security."
"At least I know what to do every day, and what I'll be facing in the future."
Tang Zheng had this thought.
However, as soon as he thought about the upcoming Great Tomb of Nazarick, the good mood that had just risen in Tang Zheng's heart immediately dissipated.
