Chapter 34: The Treasure Chest
Yao Te looked at the splinter of the sludge monster vigilantly, and turned on the dog's eye skill.
Silt Split, 40 health.
Four clumps of silt swirls on the ground, trying to regroup.
"If we get together, it looks like there's a chance of resurrection." Yao Te guessed.
Even if the Sludge Monster is resurrected, it will not pose much of a threat to Yao Te, but in order to prevent accidents, the best option is to strangle the danger in the cradle.
I tried to attack the Sludge Splitter, and single-digit damage came out.
It seems that in order to kill this sludge monster completely, these four sludge splinters must also be dealt with.
However, after being attacked by Yaote's snakeskin whip, the squirming speed of the sludge splitting increased significantly.
Yao Te is firing on his fire, trying to get rid of the Sludge Splitter as soon as possible, but the Sludge Splitter seems to maintain the same characteristics as the Sludge Monster, and is immune to bleeding damage.
In order to slow down the speed of the sludge splitter, Yao Te activated the wrestling skill, which was originally a huge reuse for the necromancer, but at this time, it turned out to be the same as the beating skill, and it also failed.
The silt fragments flipped over, still wriggling unabated.
"There is no head and foot distinction between this thing, and it makes sense that it can't stumble." Yao Te wasn't too confused, and after such a long time into the new game, his understanding of the new game became clear.
The new game maintains the logical thinking of the old game, and the systematic judgment of skills is closely related to the world view of the old game.
Yao Te decisively gave up using the Sweep skill, and although the area damage could increase more rage, if the four Sludge Splits started to accelerate, the Sludge Monster would soon be able to revive.
Although it is not clear what will become of the resurrected sludge monster, the current state of the other party's inability to resist is undoubtedly the most beneficial to himself.
The snakeskin whip quickly attacks on top of the same mass of sludge splits, and although the damage of a normal attack is not high, it is enough to kill it.
When the mass of Sludge Splitter reaches zero health, the Slag Splinter stops wriggling completely, apparently dead.
It's just the remaining three regiments, and Yao Te is a little powerless, and can only watch as the three clusters of silt splits merge together.
Rumble.
The moment the three silt divisions fused together, it was like a barrel of high explosives detonating without warning, and the huge shock wave made Yao Te a little unexpected.
The violent explosion was deafening, revealing a shocking pit in the ground, and Yao Te fell to the ground, thinking nothing but leaning on it.
In the end, I was careless.
Unexpectedly, this sludge split was not resurrected but self-detonated, and the explosion was so terrifying that the people who didn't know the situation thought it was the Yuanying master who blew himself up.
Fortunately, the cooldown time of the Rebirth Technique has already been good, otherwise it would have been a big loss this time.
If you resurrect from the land of trapped beasts and rush here, the dropped crystal skull staff will probably be refreshed by the system a long time ago.
Yao Te, who stood up again, could only secretly sigh and rejoice.
Retracting the Crystal Skull Staff into his backpack, Yao Te glanced at the system prompt, but the system still didn't have any prompt.
"Looks like you'll need to kill the Sludge before it explodes before it gets XP." Yao Te could only accept this result depressedly.
Glancing at the mud on the ground with the dog's eye skill, there was no sign of life at all, and it was indeed hung up.
Although he had no experience points, what surprised Yao Te was that in the face of the powerful self-explosion of the sludge monster, the skill book was still unharmed, and it seemed that it should have been specially protected by the system.
Picking up the skill book on the ground, a piece of information flowed through Yao Te's eyes.
Devour (Beginner): Devours a target you can swallow, dealing 10 damage per second for 20 seconds, if the target dies, gain a positive effect, and if the target is still alive, the target will vomit out.
Cooldown is 5 minutes, and there are no restrictions.
"Five minutes?" Yao Te thought back to the Sludge Monster's devouring cooldown, which seemed to be much shorter.
However, this is also normal, the items dropped from the monsters may not necessarily retain their original attributes, and the things that fall into the player's hands will be more or less weakened by the system.
There are no restrictions, which means that you can learn on your own.
Anyway, Yao Te didn't have any other ideas, so he directly chose to cultivate.
The skill book turned into a white light, as if a burst of electricity flowed through Yao Te's whole body, and on the skill grid, an extra skill icon appeared, which was the devouring skill.
"Although the Sludge Monster is only a level 2 creep, it is too difficult for solo players to gain experience from it due to mechanical problems." With Yao Te's current attack damage, he can't suppress the Sludge Monster's self-detonation skill at all.
Through the clear blue water, you can see that there are still scattered black spots in the lake, basically all of them are silt monsters, and there are quite a few silt monsters that have been upgraded to level 2, Yao Te has no intention of continuing to disturb them.
Not to mention that the sludge monsters in the water are difficult to fly kites, and because of the drowning in the old game, Yao Te has a strong discomfort with getting into the water.
Suddenly, a faint light flickered from within the lake, attracting Yao Te's attention.
Is it an illusion or is there something glowing in the lake?
Yao Te was not sure, after all, the light was fleeting, and if he hadn't happened to be staring at the inside of the lake, he might have thought that the flash just now was the sparkle of the lake.
This light was like a spell, lingering in Yao Te's mind.
The more unclear things are, the easier it is to be fascinated, and it is clear that Yao Te has fallen under this spell now.
He wanted to find out what that flash of light was at the bottom of the lake.
After making sure that there were no silt monsters in the nearby waters, Yao Te took a deep breath, endured the repulsion of his body, and slowly walked into the lake.
The lake was very deep, and the water was slightly cool, and a bar of energy appeared above Yao Te's head that indicated the breathing time, which looked like it was about five minutes.
It seems that this is the length of time Yao Te can enter the water and hold his breath.
Five minutes was enough time for Yao Te to dive to the bottom of the lake.
Yao took off his equipment and tried to swim naked in the water, but the flexibility of putting on the equipment in the water was almost not much different from taking it off, which was a bit different from the old game.
Since this is the case, Yao Te naturally chooses to wear the equipment on his body, without the protection of the equipment, the human body will appear very fragile, and if he is attacked by wild monsters, he is likely to die instantly.
After testing the conditions of the game, Yao Te chose to emerge from the water.
The breath energy bar on the top of his head disappeared immediately, and when he dived in again, the breath energy bar reappeared, and the tens of seconds that had been consumed returned to its full value.
In the water, tens of seconds can be the difference between life and death.
Yao Te drowned and became more aware of the importance of it.
Without the blue sparkle of the lake, the water looks very clear, and occasionally a group of small scale fish swim in the lake, although it is a level 1 creature, but it is rare that this scale fish does not have any aggressiveness.
"Could it be that the light you saw just now is the light reflected by these scaly fish?" Yao Te was a little unsure.
After all, if it is the light produced by these scale fish, it is normal for people to missee.
Yao Te didn't give up immediately, and planned to sneak deeper into the bottom of the lake for a longer distance, after all, the energy bar of holding his breath was still sufficient, and there was no need to give up the action in such a hurry.
The further he dived to the bottom of the lake, the water became a little darker, the visible distance decreased a lot, and Yao Te became vigilant.
The nearby sludge monsters became more numerous, and Yao had to act more carefully.
Whining.
A level 1 sludge monster makes a strange noise, which seems to be a warning.
"It seems that the distance of seven meters is the perception range of the sludge monster." Yao Te reversed course and avoided the sludge monster.
Probably due to the difference in rank, this level 1 sludge monster did not take the initiative to attack Yao Te.
"I wonder if a level 2 sludge monster will improve its perception?" With the reference value, Yao Te also has a bottom in his heart.
Suddenly, the strange light flickered again in the depths of the bottom of the lake, and Yao Te could be sure that it was the light he had seen earlier.
Yao Teh stepped up and swam towards the spot where the light was shining.
In the dark silt at the bottom of the lake, a small corner of the box is revealed, and the corner of the box wrapped in gold faintly glows, which looks extraordinary, and it is obviously a treasure chest.
