Chapter 50: Dragonflies in the Swamp
Levi also immediately noticed the giant dragonfly that Wallamis was talking about, dozens of meters away, a group of colorful dragonflies with a length of nearly a meter, which didn't look easy to mess with, were flapping their translucent, weirdly patterned wings, and rushed towards the place where his group was.
"All prepare for battle, pay attention to dodge the opponent's attack!"
As he spoke, Levi drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the first large dragonfly.
At the same time, he felt a little bad in his heart, now except for Xiaobai, each of his subordinates was given three bottles of antidote, but before they officially entered the Sweet Water Swamp, they encountered these obviously poisonous dragonflies on the periphery, which was really disadvantageous.
Sure enough, although Levi killed a big dragonfly with two arrows, and the hunter John's harvest was similar, but when those big dragonflies flew in front of them, they immediately sprinkled a bunch of colorful dust on Levi and the others, instantly dyeing them into the same colorful color.
Levi immediately saw that almost all of them had an extra negative status of poisoning in their status bars.
It's just that unlike the snake venom that Levi and others have been hit, the poison this time is not much, but it reduces everyone's attack power by 2, which is an additional weak state poison!
Although he was a little jealous, but seeing that those big dragonflies sprinkled poisonous dust, they pounced on them again and launched an attack, of course, Levi couldn't sit still, and immediately commanded his subordinates to launch a fierce counterattack, anyway, they were already poisoned, so they didn't care if they would be poisoned again.
It turned out that in addition to being poisonous, these big dragonflies themselves were very fragile, and with the efforts of Levi and others, they were quickly killed.
After the battle, Levi did not immediately order his subordinates to drink the antidote, but let them rest in place, because the poison did not last long.
Except, of course, John the Hunter, who was busy dissecting the carcasses of these large dragonflies, who had only dissected beasts and beastmen before, and now expanded the scope to include such giant insects, which was a very novel experience for him.
Because the number of kills exceeded 10, Levi also managed to obtain the opponent's Bestiary.
Name: Giant swamp dragonfly
Gender: Male/Female
Faction: Chaos-Neutral
Species: Swamp Dragonfly
Rank: Tier 1 (Normal)
Attack power 5, defense 0, health 13.
Skill:
Weak Dust: The Giant Swamp Dragonfly flails its wings vigorously, turning its scales into dust and scattering them at enemies, reducing their health and attack damage.
(Giant swamp dragonflies were once glorious, but they are now fewer and fewer because of enemy killings, but they still fight back, even if it's just to cause the enemy a little trouble.) )
Aside from that skill, the rest of this monster's attributes are simply scum. But you can't be too harsh on them, because they're just insects.
Levi closed the system panel and found that Huamez was beside him.
Levi looked at it again, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless, because he found that the other party had actually used the colored dust stained on her face as a toy, and was now facing the water surface of the swamp in front of him, constantly making all kinds of grimaces, and looking very happy.
But before Levi could speak, Wallace sighed in disappointment, for the color on her body was fading rapidly, and the duration of the weak dust had arrived.
Levi turned his head away, not seeing the other man's childish movements.
However, this is not to blame, after all, Oak Village is just a backward village located on the border between the Empire and the Knight Kingdom.
Although Huamesi is the apprentice of the mysterious saint, but she is also a shepherdess, it is estimated that she has never seen anything on the market when she is so old, let alone any cosmetics and other things, the saint should not teach her these things...
Although there was a small accident, the health of Levi's subordinates was still in a basically perfect state, and the giant swamp dragonflies themselves were still very fragile, so Levi ordered to move on, these giant swamp dragonflies were not the target of his mission this time.
But after entering the swamp, Levi realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.
Walking in the swamp was completely different from walking on flat ground, and Levi felt like his movement speed had dropped by at least a quarter to a third, as did his men, and that was only on the periphery of the swamp.
The only one whose movement speed has been reduced less is probably Xiaobai, thanks to its wide and thick fleshy palm, but Xiaobai is also in a bad mood at the moment, because nearly half of its body has been covered with dirty muddy water, after all, its height is far less than Levi and other humans.
The only thing that surprised Levi a little was Hua Meisi, despite the very bad environment, this little girl did not complain, but stared at her big eyes, searching around for possible enemies, and she has now really, fully and fully engaged in this great adventure to follow Levi.
"Ahh
The halberdier who was walking at the back suddenly screamed, and Levi quickly turned around to find that a wooden black javelin had been stuck in his body.
If it were in the real world, a person with a javelin would be seriously injured if he didn't die, but now the halberdier just has a white number on his head.
However, Levi soon realized that he was overly optimistic, and just as he turned his head, another black, unclean-looking javelin flew over, this time targeting the hunter John.
"Be careful!"
Levi let out a loud shout as he fired an arrow straight in the direction the javelin was flying from, though it looked like nothing more than vines and driftwood.
But the next moment, a white figure floated up from the seemingly calm water, proving that there was indeed an enemy down there.
Then, with a strong frog roar, seven or eight guys who looked like enlarged humanoid toads, covered with bumps of flesh the size of a baby's fist, stood up directly from the swamp, stared at their eyes bigger than human fists, and looked at Levi and the others, that must be Levi's target this time - swamp toad people!
Two of the Swamp Men still held a few black wooden javelins, while the others carried rough maces made of things like vines and stones.
Obviously, they were the ones who had been attacked by the halberders before, and they were a well-defined combat squad consisting of melee fighters and ranged javelinmen.
Although they may not have developed a well-developed social structure and social culture, they are undoubtedly humanoid creatures, and they are fundamentally different from beasts.
Levi did not immediately order his men to take the initiative to attack, but first ordered them to take defensive measures and wait for the enemy's next move.
Because this is a swamp, it is an advantageous terrain for the enemy, and if they rush to rush over, they are likely to fall into the enemy's trap, after all, they are not sure how deep the swamp there is, and whether they will fall into it directly. This is especially important for Xiaobai, after all, he is the shortest in height.
"Defend the formation, pay attention to dodge the opponent's long-range attacks, John and I will aim for the swamp toddler javelinmen on the far left of the opponent first!"
