Chapter 37: Divide and Conquer
Walking in the dense forest, Nia began to sincerely regret why she didn't take the initiative to pull Caroline to form a team just now. In this case, the task will not be as boring as it is now.
But looking at the goblin Hedr who was overcoming the obstacles in front of her, Nia felt a little comforted in her heart. Fortunately, I signed a contract with Herder, otherwise I would really feel a little lonely in this deep forest.
It is said that there is a smooth road in the game until the fierce cat demon comes to him, but now he is walking in a lush forest overgrown with weeds. But think about it, too.,It's a reality here.,That kind of thing that looks at the small map and walks the big road to the boss doesn't have to think about it to know that it won't exist.。
Looking at the rough map handed over to her by the mercenary guild and eliminating the ordinary cat demons that popped out of the grass from time to time, Nia gradually went deeper into the forest.
It was just afternoon, but the sunlight became more and more sparse as Nia went deeper.
Stepping into a not-so-deep quagmire, Nia struggled to pull her foot out. It seems that he is not traveling in the wrong direction. Further on, there will be more and more such swamps, and eventually, the purple poisonous swamp will be the destination of Nia's trip, the lair of the Vicious Cat Demon.
Walking cautiously, the trees were becoming scarce due to the unsuitable terrain, and Nia began to find clusters of large, showy flowers on the ground. Nia still remembers the setting of this dungeon in the game very well, so she is vigilant enough to face the strange plants on the ground in front of her.
After that, she also conducted a test, throwing a cat demon that she had captured alive with her [Round Dancing Stick] skill into the weird flowers. As a result, before the cat demon could land, the rattan with the thickness of a small arm shot out of the flowers pierced the poor cat demon into a sieve. In the next moment, the rattan contracted, and the corpse of the cat demon fell into the flowers and disappeared.
After seeing this situation, Nia, who was already wary of the flowers, decisively decided that it was better to stay farther away.
After walking into the jungle for a while, there were few trees growing in front of Nia, and the ground was covered with large purple swamps. A large number of cat demons roam there in the swamp, and this should be the poisonous swamp mentioned in the mission.
Fortunately, Nia didn't rush out of the forest. Because although the level of the cat demon in front of him is not high, the number is dense.
"This is going to be like that.,The simple map in the game that is divided into small copies.,How many cat demons are in each small copy? If they're all crowded together, that's still a lot for you. ”
Yes, Nia found no less than 50 cat demons of various colors in the open forest ahead. Even if Nia is strong, there are still some problems in trying to kill so many cat demons intact, but she clearly knows that many ants can gnaw at elephants.
Adhering to the principle of caution, Nia looked out cautiously from a relatively lush forest, and found that the monsters inside knew everything from the game. Combined with the descriptions given in the quest, Nia sorted the cat demons one by one. So that you can come up with a foolproof countermeasure.
The strength of [ordinary cat demons] is mostly below the first order, and the coat color is beige, and after discovering strange humans, they will gather together to pounce and scratch. Although the strength is not strong, there are many of them. At a cursory glance in the swamp ahead, Nia saw at least 20 ordinary cat demons, and these cat demons would not hinder Nia's movements.
The strength of the [Raging Cat Demon] is mostly located in the first order of the primary level, and the coat color is darker than that of ordinary cat demons, and this kind of cat demon will desperately bite the people it meets. If you are bitten by this kind of cat demon, unless the bite is torn off. Otherwise, even if such a demonic beast was killed, its mouth would not be released in the slightest. I don't know how many mercenaries have lost their hands and feet because of this cat demon, resulting in lifelong disabilities.
The strength of the [Cursed Cat Demon] is similar to that of the Berserk Cat Demon, and the eyes are black and purple different from the red eyeballs of the Berserk Cat Demon, and if you are scratched, you will slowly become sluggish due to the virus it brings. Don't think that mere sluggishness won't have much effect, in a large group of fast-moving cat demons, a hint of sluggishness can mean being bitten off the head by a cat demon.
[Fluorescent Cat Demon] is a first-order strength, and its coat color is white. The attack power is similar to that of a normal cat demon, but Nia makes this cat demon the first target she must kill, just because this cat demon can gather the moonlight ability of the night to quickly heal her companions or herself. In the same face of 10 cat demons, 3 berserk cat demons plus 7 ordinary cat demons will only make an ordinary adventure team injured, and if you change to 2 berserk cat demons and 1 fluorescent cat demon plus 6 ordinary cat demons, this adventure team will have a high chance of being wiped out, which is the terrible thing about fluorescent cat demons.
However, the price of obtaining superb recovery ability is that although this cat demon is high-level, its body is about the same strength as the body of an ordinary cat demon. Nia is confident that if she is given the right opportunity, she will be able to take out the four fluorescent cat demons in front of her in 10 seconds.
The last is Nia's target this time - [Fierce Poisonous Cat Demon] The strength is a first-order high-level mutant cat demon, with dark fur, dark green head, and highly poisonous, if bitten, Nia estimates that she can consider taking the antidote.
Thinking about the composition of the cat demons in the swamp ahead, Nia came up with a good idea.
————
A fragrant and fluffy cake rolled out of the dense forest, which alarmed the cat demons who were foraging, and they turned around one after another, looking warily in the direction of what had just been transmitted.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing came out of it.
The lush scent of verdant scent surrounds the swamp, attracting the coveted cats and demons. Eventually, a cat demon finally couldn't resist the deliciousness of the cake and slowly approached there.
Through the cracks in the treetops, Nia saw the cat demon sniffing the cake carefully, and touching it with her paws. Immediately raising his head, the beast's pupils glanced around the forest, but he didn't find anything suspicious
The search was fruitless, and the cat demon didn't think about it, so he rolled his tongue and swallowed the cake into his stomach. Just as it was about to turn around, it noticed that one of these cakes had appeared again on the ground in front of it.
After eating a few pieces in a row, he found that there was no threat, and the cat demon ate it all the way down this cake road. Eventually, the cat demon suddenly fell over after walking into the forest.
"It's done," Nya couldn't help but smile, proud that she had come up with such a perfect idea.
The solution that Nia came up with was to pull out some cat demons first. However, the nose of this creature is extremely sensitive, and if it is killed in the forest, the dense smell of blood will definitely be detected by the cat demons in the swamp.
Eventually, Nia came up with this idea for a "Golden Sacrament" (a delicacy from the Celestial Veiled Behemoth) that even she had been reluctant to eat
And in the end, the cat demon fell asleep was another prop - "Sleeping Shell Meat", in the introduction of the system, one of these shells is enough to make a second-order professional sleep all day unconsciously.
Tear the cake and scallops and divide them into portions. In this way, the cat demons in the swamp were lured out by Nia with delicious food one by one and fell into the forest where Nia was.
