Volume 1 Never by a Sword Chapter 20 The Toad King

Tonight is the night of the full moon.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the light is gentle and clear.

Walking out of the village chief's house, Tu Shi went directly to the house of the doctor Huo Xiang to buy snake gall bladder. Huo Xiang asked, "Did you run out of last time?" He asked so, but he was not stingy, and sold a large handful of snake gall bladder at a low price, and still did not ask about the use of these medicinal materials.

"Haha, I sold it to you, and now I've bought it back."

Tu Shi carefully put the snake gall into the storage bag, and then came to Fang Feng's house.

Fang Feng was not convicted, but he also lost his freedom - there were two villagers guarding the door at all times. When Tu Shi walked into the courtyard, Fang Feng was squatting on the ground chopping firewood. The woodcutter looked up and glanced at the comer, then resumed his work: "I didn't let you in. ”

"Looks like you're doing okay?"

Fang Feng didn't seem to want to chat with Tu Shi: "Everyone else is gone, why don't you leave?" "He's talking about the other level 10 players. Players are tired of this mountain with no hidden tasks, no peerless artifacts, no anti-heavenly gods, and they can leave from level 10 to 10, and they can't wait to have two more legs, in contrast, Tu Shi is indeed an outlier.

"I still have work to do. There is no hurry. ”

Fang Feng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Tu Shi with an incredible gaze, and held the handle of the axe tightly in his hand as if he was about to chop the other party to death at any time: "Do you want to deal with Daxian?" You can't win! How can mortals fight against immortals?! ”

Tu Shi smiled lightly: "You have to try it to know." ”

————————————————————————————————————

Walking past the shed where the villagers kept vigil, Tu Shi remembered the head of the boar. That kind of small boss is really difficult to beat, and the novice sword is likely to be broken on the spot, and the skin and flesh are so thick that you need to hit three swords in a row in the same position to break the defense, not to mention the pigs that are rampage with it. At that time, it was simply a scuffle, dealing with multiple boars at the same time, resulting in the player's cooperation being disrupted, you cut yours, I escaped mine.

During that battle, Tu Shi had a deeper understanding of the timing and how to use power and weapons. When someone else attacks five times, he often only strikes once, but when someone else hits a 1, he can hit a 5, and a 5 will not always be a 5, and will likely become a 6 as the battle goes on, and it will become a 7.

Speaking of the melee with the mountain boar, I have to talk about the battle with the poisonous snake deep in the grassland outside the village. A new type of venomous snake that feeds on its own kind has appeared, and they do not strike in any conspicuous posture, and the flaws appear for a shorter time, perhaps less than a tenth of a second.

However, compared to the battle with Scarhead the Bobcat, the Viper is nothing. At least there is a trajectory to follow when the poisonous snake swims, but the bobcat can jump in any direction, and even [double jump]. If Tu Shi hadn't cut off the tail that Scarhead used to maintain his body balance before, and then focused his attribute on agility when he was upgraded from level 9 to level 10, it was likely that he wouldn't even be able to touch Scarhead's hair. Even so, he was scratched and turned into a bloody man.

Thinking all the way, Tu Shi walked to the edge of the black water pool. He vaguely remembered that he killed a bobcat on the road or something, he didn't remember it very clearly, after all, he didn't do it seriously, and he looked at the battle record and saw that it was really a bobcat, but unfortunately the novice level was capped at level 10, and he wouldn't add a trace of experience if he killed tens of thousands of monsters. The big war was imminent, and he found that he could still think crankily, but he was not overly nervous.

Maybe I want to solve puzzles instead of fighting?

The black waterhole was covered by fog and was expected to be calm and waveless. Tu Shi hid in the grass ten meters away from the edge of the pond and waited quietly. The minty aroma of Toad Crisp mixed in the thick mist, entered from the tip of his nose, filled his lungs, and then penetrated into every corner of his body, making him refreshed.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

The water in the pool began to turbulent. Several large toads jumped out first, and after a hasty look around, they chirped in unison. After a round of chirping, the Toad King's back slowly surfaced, and the water trickled down from the aquatic plants hanging on its back, like a curtain of crystal beads in the moonlight, in stark contrast to the ugly and obese body. The toad king, with his belly throbbing and a continuous thunderous roar, climbed ashore for the first time, struggled to prop up his head on two short (in fact about the size of a grown man) on his front legs, leaned back as far as he could, and then opened his mouth stupidly. It thundered, and its belly (and possibly its throat) throbbed, with the sound of mucus and air vibrating, and the amplitude of the agitation was reminiscent of taking emetics. With the sound of frogs, the mist spiritually dissipates, making the moonlight brighter until finally, the mist disappears completely.

It's kind of like those toads in the geodynamic instrument...... Damn, I'm stupid, this is a toad!

Tu Shi could see clearly that the Toad King spit out a black sphere after retching. The black ball rose slowly against the moonlight, apparently spinning, as drops of slime were tossed and landed on blades of grass. The black ball rose three feet, and slowly fell three feet, constantly circulating this process, it looks like the toad king blows again and again to keep the black ball from falling, didn't you play with this kind of toy when you were a child, a hollow long pole, and a small funnel at the other end, holding a small plastic ball. When the toad king was blowing the black ball, the big toads also relaxed their vigilance and blew with the black ball as the center, but they did not have a black ball at all, and could only repeatedly swallow turbid gas similar to car exhaust, and the gas color would be darker after every seven swallows.

Damn, if they were human, they would be sued for drug use!

Tu Shi got up, walked to the nearest big toad with his sword, took out a snake gall and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly his eyes were crooked. The big toad had his back to him, so instead, the two big toads on both sides spotted Tu Shi first with their eyes, and immediately swallowed the black gas and chirped to warn.

At this second, Tu Shi rushed forward!

He didn't think about anything, he didn't care about anything, he just ran as hard as he could, stabbing at a big toad who called the police with momentum! It's like a driver who uses the accelerator as a brake, and he doesn't slow down at all as he gets closer and closer to the target! He fit into the big toad, and rolled into a ball, but at this time he showed his flexible body control, rolling on the flat and soft soil with his head in his hands, and when he stood up again, he didn't even lose a trace of his physical strength, and the big toad's abdomen was cut open, and his internal organs flowed to the ground.

Regardless of whether the first target lived or died, Tu Shi desperately consumed a lot of stamina, and quickly stabbed a sword, hitting the throat of the big toad that had been turning his back to him before. This sword was not as powerful as just now, so he stepped forward and held the sword in both hands, and pressed it hard, slicing the monster's abdomen to pieces.

The Toad King also spotted this tiny human, who was swallowing black balls and had no time to withdraw. The rule of "don't go near a waterhole on a full moon night" is most likely not to protect humans, but to protect the toad king, whose preparedness is at its lowest. But just because it's less prepared doesn't mean it can't attack – it chirps angrily, and the sound moves through the sky! The thunder exploded in Tu Shi's ears at close range, and he felt liquid flowing out of his ears!

[Roar]!

System Prompt: You trigger the "Immobilize" state for 2 seconds.

System Prompt: You have taken Snake Gile, and the "Immobilization" status is reduced by 1 second.

Tu Shi was shocked by this sound and felt numb all over, and the Venus in front of him was chaotic, but the snake gall in his mouth was so bitter that he came to his senses, and just in time to see a big toad rushing towards him, he could only roll on the spot to dodge. Using snake gall bladder to shorten the "fixing" time was the inspiration he found from the mantra left by Zhang Tianshi, and he had also quietly verified it as early as the last time he fought the boss.

Snake gall bladder: sweet, slightly bitter, cool, and cannot detoxify snake venom. It can be used in daily life (raw materials for pharmaceuticals, spirit refining, etc.). After use (oral), the "fixation" state can be reduced by 1 second for 10 seconds.

"Bitter gall in the mouth" has an explanation, and "feet like a civet" is also easy to understand, that is, it is to jump around like a bobcat, because the [collision] of the big toad is different from the [collision] of the boar, it is not a straight line, but an arc to attack the enemy below the waist, and the best dodge is not to roll but to jump. Relying on the power of the snake gall and the appropriate dodge method, it only took Tu Shi three minutes to solve the big toad.

The Toad King also swallowed the black ball at this moment. It turned slightly awkwardly, and a long pink tongue flung at it like a guillotine! It was too late to dodge, Tu Shi subconsciously raised his sword to parry, and the whole person was knocked five meters away! He got up and took a look, and found that the "broken iron sword" had been bent! That's an exaggeration, right?

No one was able to clean up all the mobs and face the boss before, so at this time, there were no boss fighting cheats for Tu Shi to learn from. He had to grope his way in battle on his own, most likely at the cost of his life.

The next moment, the moonlight was gone, and the wind suddenly became stronger and from top to bottom. Tu Shi didn't think much about it, and ran away from the place desperately, not even taking a look at the leisure behind him. There was a loud bang mixed with the sound of trees breaking and rubble bursting, and the irresistible force came from under his feet, causing Tu Shi's whole person to float upwards by an inch, and he dared to turn back at this time, only to see the Toad King lying on the ground where he had just stood, and his four webbed feet had pressed the soil into four deep marks. If he had been a little slower to escape, or if he had looked up and observed the situation and then chosen a direction to run half a second late, he would have been crushed by this mountain-like monster - no doubt on the spot.

Damn, there is actually a boss in the novice village who has mastered the instant attack...... System Are you sure this is the beginner difficulty?

Tu Shi slandered, but no longer fled, but reflexively launched an attack on the Toad King, everyone knows that after this kind of big move, the boss will have a short period of hard stun, and when will he not make a move at this time? He just faced the side of the Toad King, and he could slash the opponent's leg without having to carry the opponent's back, which he knew was explosive at a glance. As he ran, he straightened the "broken iron sword" with all his might, an amateur technique that led to a significant reduction in the durability of the equipment, but there was no better way to do it in a hurry.
