Chapter 20: The Earth Spirit Aristocracy?

  (Today's first update~)

  There's no point in reasoning with this bumpkin.

  Xia Ya didn't care about the grievances in Ke Liang's heart, and since negotiations were unsuccessful, he directly chose the most straightforward solution: violence!

  A certain philosopher of mankind once said a sentence: Violence cannot solve all problems.

  Fortunately, the old man also mentioned this sentence when educating Xia Ya, but the old man's evaluation was quite another story:

  "The guy who said this must be the kind of idiot who doesn't know what it's like to be hungry because he's always full! Violence can't solve all problems, but it can solve most of them! If someone is giving you a hard time, then trying to reason with them and persuade them with kindness is just a bunch of nonsense. If it were me, I'd just go up and give him a few good smacks in the mouth so he's left searching for his teeth on the ground, and next time he sees you, his legs will be shaking and he'll be pissing his pants - this kind of stupid talk is just like those idiots who say 'money isn't everything'!"

  "Listen up, kiddo. If someone tells you 'money isn't everything', that person is definitely a poor and arrogant fool. If someone tells you 'violence can't solve problems', that guy is definitely someone who's often bullied by others and has a belly full of resentment."

  It's clear that the old man was successful in educating Shaya on this point. So after Shaya finished negotiating, he promptly picked up his axe and charged forward.

  The goblins were still arguing fiercely, their opinions were not unanimous, and they were still debating a key issue: who would go up first to fight.

  In the tradition of the vanguard, being a pioneer means being cannon fodder. Their motto is: Run last in battle, rush to the front for war spoils.

  This is also the case with the earth elementals, although they are numerous, but on the Wildfire Plains, whether facing dwarves or humans, they repeatedly fail in regular battles.

  So when Xia Ya suddenly took the initiative to rush up with an axe, the first reaction of these earth spirits was actually to be stunned.

  Until Xia Ya rushed up and kicked a goblin leader's head with one foot, kicking the thick carrot-like big nose into the brain, the other goblins scattered with a "Woo-hoo" scream.

  Xia Ya let out a loud roar, his battle axe transformed into countless cold lights, chopping horizontally and vertically in all directions... After completing the four moves of "Chopping Firewood Style", several earth elementals that were originally beside him could no longer stand. The remaining earth elementals counterattacked after being frightened, these guys shouted and retaliated with short spears and broken knives in their hands, but Xia Ya held up his large shield with one hand, hiding half of his body behind the shield.

  That shield was taken from the giant Nigul in the four showy Wangcheng, and the shield is more than one meter high. Faced with this shield, the goblins are very helpless: they are too short, and this shield stands in front of them like a wall. The goblins want to attack Xia Ya, they must jump up and down, then hold their weapons over the shield to attack Xia Ya. Otherwise, they can only run around - but unfortunately, the goblin's short stature is not good at running.

  Then, in the chaos, a ridiculous scene appeared: Xia Ya was tall and majestic, like a crane standing among chickens, with one hand holding an axe and the other holding a shield, while a group of short and shrill creatures surrounded him, jumping up and down.

  At the beginning, Xia Ya had the absolute upper hand. He took down a dozen or so earth elementals in one breath, and then these guys started to get cunning. A few of the earth elementals at the bottom discovered Xia Ya's weakness: when he raised his shield, his feet were exposed.

  So, the goblins started rolling on the ground, rolling back and forth while trying to stab Xia's feet with their weapons.

  The scene suddenly changed, and Xia Ya was the only one standing there, jumping up and down non-stop, while a group of fairies were rolling around on the ground.

  The poor insect was completely stunned from a distance...

  This turtle is really a treasure: it's clearly a life-and-death battle, but he's actually managed to make it look like something that could make people laugh so hard their stomachs hurt.

  However, the poor worm couldn't laugh for long. Among the goblins, there were also some with relatively smart brains, and they saw their companions surrounding this powerful human warrior, but then they noticed another poor worm next to him - although the poor worm was also quite intimidating in height, at least it didn't look as sturdy as the guy with the axe, and... the poor worm didn't have that giant shield that had given the goblins endless headaches.

  Several goblins brandished their knives and surrounded the poor insect.

  Xia Ya was performing a vigorous tap dance, and he had already kicked several goblins unconscious, but his own calf had also been slashed several times. A goblin's rolling knife move almost cut off half of his foot. He was dancing with joy when he heard the pitiful worm's terrified scream. Turning around, he saw that the pitiful worm was surrounded by several goblins.

  What a joke! That's the bait I've been preparing for the dragon!

  Xia Ya glared with his eyes, the cow let out a loud bellow - uh, to put it more elegantly: Xia Ya's gaze was like lightning, a long whistle. Then he threw the axe in his hand over there.

  The battle-axe drew a cold light in mid-air, and with a "pu" sound, it split the leading earth spirit, along with its weapon and armor, into two halves right before the poor insect's eyes!

  Vermilion blood splattered on the poor worm's body, and this guy actually fainted with a sharp cry.

  Xia Ya had no more weapons, holding a large shield and relying on his own brute force to knock several goblins flying. His strength was really not small, and all the goblins that were knocked flying by him had their bones broken one after another. Then he rushed back in one breath, pulled out the fire fork inserted at his waist, and stabbed it into a goblin's buttocks, lifting the entire goblin off the ground. He then blocked a knife chopping from the side, and with a mighty crash of his shield, knocked the goblin flying again, causing blood to spurt from its mouth.

  When Xia Ya ran back to the side of the poor worm, and once again pulled his axe out of the guy who had been split in two, the goblins finally exhausted their courage, shouting "Ook Ook", they turned around and started fleeing.

  Xia Ya didn't chase after those who escaped, but instead took out a bundle of ropes from her bag and threw it to the first vagrant she had captured, pointing at the fallen goblin warriors on the ground and gesturing a few times.

  The vagrant was completely scared silly, until Xia Ya kicked it in the head, at which point it came to its senses and quickly jumped up to work with the rope. This vagrant obviously inherited the fine tradition of the earth spirit: liking to bully its own kind.

  Although its own experience was already very miserable, seeing these more miserable goblin warriors made it apparently happy, tying those guys up tightly and ruthlessly. Many of the goblin warriors who were lying on the ground with broken heads and fractured bones also received a lot of kicks from it.

  Xia Ya pulled up the poor worm, slapped her face with force, and woke up the poor worm. Then she angrily said: "I know you're useless! But I thought that as a human being, at least you could defeat an earth spirit. Can't you do anything else besides screaming?"

  The poor worm's face turned red... and didn't know whether it was shame or because of Xia Ya's slap, covering his face and crying.

  Xia Ya ignored her and turned back to look at the vagabond earth spirit, only to find that it was continuously punching and bullying the injured earth spirit warriors. All those who were still breathing were tied up like New Year's gifts. Xia Ya didn't show any courtesy, pointing at the vagabond earth spirit and then at the ropes on the ground beside it.

  That guy was stunned, hesitated for a moment, but seeing Xia Ya's anger on her face, he quickly shrank his head, picked up the rope and tied himself up.

  After exerting some effort to line up the captives together, Shaya kicked the first captive: "Can you speak human language?"

  That earth spirit let out a few cries, and Xia Ya directly picked it up, kicking it in the butt. Then he walked to the second earth spirit: "Can you speak human language?"

  That earth spirit looked at Xia Ya with a pitiful expression, then shook its head in confusion.

  Xia Ya also didn't show any courtesy and lifted it up, kicking it in its butt.

  The third earth spirit saw Xia Ya come before him, and without waiting for Xia Ya to ask a question, he let out a shrill cry and turned his body around to face Xia Ya with his buttocks raised.

  Xia Ya was so angry that he laughed and slapped the earth spirit who understood people's intentions, shouting: "Isn't there one who can speak human language?!"

  He asked twice and finally got an answer.

  That earliest of vagrants, the earth spirit, timidly stretched out its head: "Ouch, I, human language, speak. The strongest person, doesn't kick."

  Xia Ya stood in front of the vagabond with some surprise, curiously sizing him up for a moment: "I, Xia Ya, human, powerful! And you?"

  The vagabond opened those green bean-like eyes and looked at Xia Ya with trepidation: "I, Oxus, earth spirit, free."

  Xia Ya took a glance at it and shook his head: "You, Oakes, earth spirit, spoils of war, my!" (Spoils of war: war trophies, captives.)

  "This guy named Oxus had a complex gaze, struggled for a moment, and then plucked up the courage: 'No, I, Oxus, earth spirit, am free.'"

  Xia Ya raised her hand as if to hit: "You, Suo Suo, mine!"

  "I, the earth spirit, am free." Ox was clearly terrified, but still argued. Seeing Xia Ya about to get angry, this guy quickly withdrew his head and looked at Xia Ya in fear: "I, Ox, earth spirit, noble! Soso, no!"

  Earth Spirit Aristocracy?

  Xia Ya was somewhat surprised, this guy was obviously a dwarf vagabond.

  "You, noble, earth spirit?"

  Oakes' eyes flashed with a hint of resentment as he muttered: "I, Oakes, noble, lord of the dwarves..."

  Earth Spirit Leader?

  Xia Ya was also somewhat unexpected, but this Oakes had not finished speaking yet.

  Its second half is: "...the Earl of the Dwarves...the Queen."

  Xia Ya was stunned, and even the poor worm covering its face next to her was also stunned.

  The Earth Spirit King's... Queen?!

  Is this Oakes a mother's child?!!

  "Are you... a land spirit? A princess?" Xia Ya's eyes widened: "You're a female land spirit?"

  Oakes immediately showed an angry expression: "I, earth spirit, male!!"

  Xia Ya suddenly understood: "Earth Spirit, Lord, female? So, Princess, male?"

  Oakes' face was filled with shame and anger, gritting his teeth: "The lord is a man! The princess is also a man! So... run away!"

  “…………”

  Xia Ya collapsed... Poor bug also collapsed...

  Dividing line

  Hehe, I'm quite pleased with what I've written~ Hehe~

  Is there still anyone willing to apply for a guest role as that land spirit leader? (Evil laughter~)

  Bring out the tickets! Smash them, smash them, smash me to death!

  Ouch... Ouch... Ouch...
