Chapter 9: Weakness is not a sin
There is a reason why monsters are called monsters. No matter how weak a monster is, it is not something that ordinary people can defeat. Compared to the Terrans, monsters have a natural advantage, and the leaders born are not only talented, but also extremely friendly to magic.
These leaders led the people to stand in the world, and in every period, they always overwhelmed the human race. Soon after the Terrans showed their extraordinary strength, the monsters realized that humans were no longer weak, so they became very comfortable and grew silently.
After years of evolution, in this era, in addition to monsters with strong talents, as long as the strength reaches a certain level, monsters can automatically learn the corresponding magic.
After years of research, it has been found that this phenomenon should be derived from bloodline inheritance, and the same reason as those magic/skills inherited by the descendants of the powerful people of the human race.
Inheritance magic is strong or weak, depending on how the individual uses it. Because most of these spells work in a fixed way, they are also known as the skills that are widely used today.
Compared with the skills learned by the Terran powerhouse, it has a higher fit with monsters, and is more suitable for the current survival and development of monsters, and often can always exert incredible power.
As a monster that has only been born in the past ten years, slimes are not only tenacious, but also have a unique heritage. In the face of the high vigilance of Jarrow and the others, the two slimes wanted to step forward recklessly, but they temporarily changed their minds.
【Call for Companions】
As soon as slimes grow to the point where they can get out of the water, they will automatically acquire this skill. As the name suggests, it's not an offensive tactic, just a call for a companion within a one-kilometer radius.
In the case of an emergency call, the call will be farther away, and it will even use spatial magic to teleport reinforcements directly to the caster.
The two slimes didn't want to use the skill, but they felt a death threat from Jarrow. They are conflicted, they don't want to die, and they don't want to let these humans go. After struggling for a while, thinking of the many companions in the forest, their uneasiness suddenly subsided.
Seemingly weak fluctuations emanated from their mouths, and it didn't take long for bursts of roars to reach the ears of Jarrow and the others.
I thought I was very special, but I didn't expect that even slimes were so special, and Jarrow realized that those previous perceptions were a little ridiculous.
When he first arrived in this land yesterday, he thought that the world should not be much different from what he had known before. But when he woke up this morning, he realized that the world was not easy, especially after he entered the Magic Guild.
Seeing the true face of the slime, he was even more convinced that it was a great thing to come to this world.
Seeing the two slimes in front of him roaring desperately, his dead heart became more shiny, and he felt that the problem that had been bothering him for a long time should be solved.
He had thought about it before, but he didn't find a sense of direction. Now that he has seen the peculiarities of monsters, he decides to start exploring them when he is proficient in magic.
It's good to have ideas, but it's a pity that he can't do anything at the moment, so he can only watch the situation become more and more dangerous under the protection of his teammates.
Xiu's situation is similar to Jarrow's, he is obviously the captain, but just a slime makes him a little helpless, which is really uncomfortable.
Several arrows were fired in succession, but they did not hurt the hideous slime, and the arrows dissolved into the translucent strange body like a straw. If it goes on like this, let alone complete the mission requirements, it is difficult to say whether you will be able to leave the forest alive.
Thinking that he would soon be surrounded by many slimes, Xiu knew that something had to be done, and he had to find a way to get everyone out of danger. Fortunately, the only ones who stopped them were the two slimes for the time being, and if they escaped in time, they should be able to get out of danger.
As for the mission, there is no time limit anyway, and it is a very rational choice to hunt slimes again after everyone is in order.
But Xiu didn't want to do this, if even the slime couldn't win, then how should he face more powerful monsters in the future? If you retreat once, there will be a second and a third time, can't you show the courage you deserve?
This time out of the city, Xiu is not unprepared. Now that we have reached a critical moment, we can no longer hide it. With his hands free, he neatly took out a small bottle of medicinal powder from his backpack.
Jia Luo was worried about how to get out of trouble, and when he saw Xiu making such a strange move, he asked, "Xiu, what are you holding in your hand?" Can it help us clean up the slimes? ”
As soon as Xiu opened the medicine bottle, the slime not far in front of him reacted very much, as if the bottle of medicine powder was a great threat to it.
Not only it, but the other slime also felt bad, so they quickly calmed down and used their strongest means. Correction was busy applying powder to the arrow, unaware that two clouds of dark green venom were attacking him at the same time.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Alice saw the slime she was facing spitting out venom, and she didn't even think about using the only magic she had: "Holy Light Magic!" ”
I saw that the long sword in her hand was white, and the long sword was swung hard by her. Under the influence of the white light, the venom was purified before the sword could touch the venom, leaving only a few faint wisps of smoke in the air.
How could Alice let go of such an opportunity, before the magic disappeared, before the slime could react, her long sword swung again, and the slime's bloated body was unexpectedly cut in half by her.
Compared to Alice, Xiu is more passive, except for dodging, he can't deal with the terrifying venom.
But fortunately, there is a competent warrior by his side, and the moment the slime spits out the venom, Charles predicts that the Order will be attacked. As soon as he had the thought, his body moved, and his shield held high stopped the venom in time for the prodigious poison.
With Charles' help to buy some time, Xiu successfully launched a counterattack: "Charles, thank you!" Little one, look at the arrows! ”
The arrow had been smeared with light green powder, and Xiu had successfully completed the counterattack. As soon as he hit the target, a piercing howl of pain rang out. Seeing the slime's painful look, Xiu knew very well that the secret weapon was effective.
But it seems that this is the only way to kill the tenacious slime. Just as Xiu was about to make up for an arrow, the red lotus, who had finally eased up, made a move. The slime has lost the ability to resist, and was slashed by Red Lotus more than a dozen times, and then fell to the ground.
It's a pity that the crisis hasn't been resolved, realizing that it is difficult to defeat the monster with ordinary means, Honglian asked in a deep voice, "Xiu, what exactly are you holding in your hand?" Damn, with this good thing, why didn't you take it out sooner? ”
Xiu Ke didn't have time to gossip, so after smearing the arrows of the five arrows, he hurriedly signaled: "It's not safe here, evacuate quickly!" ”
As for the way out, Jarrow has been thinking about it for a long time. It's just a pity that they have long been completely surrounded by hundreds of slimes. In just another minute, slimes will appear.
Since there is no way out, then fight a way out. However, just as everyone was about to retreat, the slime that was not yet dead launched a shocking counterattack.
I saw that its tattered body swelled to a height of more than two meters, and its mouth continued to whisper, and its unwilling eyes stared at Charles's figure.
Seeing this, Charles in charge of the palace hurriedly raised his shield: "It's about to blow itself up, everyone quickly dodge!" ”
At such a critical moment, how could Jarrow continue to watch. But just as he was about to make a move, Alice's actions startled him.
That slime would blow itself up at any moment, and among the five, Alice was in the best condition, and in the face of such a sudden change, she resolutely turned around and swung her sword away...
