Chapter 14: The Sludge Monster and the Tar Monster

Walking on the road to the swamp camp in Wild Claw Village, Tao Snow was not as arrogant as before, but hid behind Yuan Mu.

The day before yesterday, Yuan Mu finally persuaded Amelia, who was angered by Tao Snow, to make Amelia angry with Yuan Mu, and ignored him all day.

Ursa was also in Yuan Mu's ranks, and for the first time he followed the troops, he looked left and right with some novelty.

Now in addition to Amelia, Yuan Mu's subordinates also include the minotaur stormtrooper Tao Snow, the bearman Usa warrior Ursa, the rapid shooter Delia, the zombie general, Amelia's exclusive guard, the flower demon sword dancer Estri, and the crypt kobolds who stayed in the camp of Wild Claw Village and had little combat effectiveness, a total of six elite units.

The intelligence of elite units will be greatly improved compared to ordinary and elite units, and if you advance to the elite, you can start to learn to command and fight.

Although the bonus to subordinates is not as high as that of heroes, to a certain extent, heroes can hand over the extra classes that they can't directly command to their elite units to command, and increase the number of heroes who can command subordinates in disguise, but the subordinates of elite units don't have attribute bonuses.

Yuan Mu's battle level is only level 2, and he doesn't have his own city, and there are six elite units, which is definitely a lot, and there is also the purple hero of Amelia. Yuan Mu believes that he is definitely not lagging behind compared to other players.

"There seems to be a battle there." Delia pointed to the swamp beside her.

The bearman trackers weren't a standard scout class, but Yuan Mu still sent them to find out what was going on. Delia's eyes sharpened, and she saw what was happening in the swamp.

"Check it out." The team advanced a little further and discovered that it was several sludge monsters being pursued by a few black creatures behind them. These black creatures are not much different in appearance from the Sludge Monsters, but they are more viscous and look disgusting in the swamp.

"These black creatures must be the Tar Monsters in the swamp that the Warden mentioned." Yuan Mu guessed.

Sludge Warrior, Liberty Level 1 class, Skill None.

Sliding Sludge, a level 1 free class, has the skill Swamp Gliding (speed increases in swamps).

Mud Nester (Green), Race Sludge, Free Rare Class Level 0 (Initial Level), Elite Unit, Level 1 (Current Level). Talents: Swamp Affinity (Swamp-based creatures have increased favorability), Spotting Sludge Monsters (easier to encounter Sludge Monsters), Skills Mud Crafting, and Architecture.

Tar Warrior, Purgatory Level 2 Troops, Skill Counterattack.

Tar Creeper, a level 2 class in Purgatory, has a skill defense form.

The Sludge Warrior and the Sliding Sludge Monster are protecting the Mudnester Elite from escaping, followed by the Tar Warrior and the Tar Creeper, but both are too slow.

Seeing another elite, still a rare class elite, made Yuan Mu think of the undead grave keeper in the cemetery. Yuan Mu planned to help him, and by the way, check the combat power of the tar monster. He's taken on several missions in Wildtalon to clean up the Tar Monsters.

"Rapid shooter shoots the black tar monster in the back, be careful not to accidentally damage the sludge monster in front."

The first few tar warriors were shot and wounded, but they did not die. The tar creeper in the back shifted to a defensive stance, and the Rapid Shooter's arrows didn't do much damage.

"The Tar Monster's defense is too high." Amelia doesn't have to mess with Yuan Mu when she encounters serious things.

"It's not that exaggerated, the attack power of the rapid shooter is not high, but the attack speed is fast."

Seeing that someone was shooting at the tar monster behind them, the sludge monsters crawled over to this side, but they didn't dare to get too close.

The tar monster didn't dare to chase after him, and slowly dived into the swamp and retreated.

Before Yuan Mu could figure out how to communicate with the sludge monster, the mud nester swung at him and swaggered away under the escort of the sludge monster next to him.

Yuan Mu was a little depressed, and saw that his subordinates were looking at him, so he had to relieve the embarrassment by himself.

"Keep going, get to the bearman's camp early."

The bearman's camp is not large, but it is just a outpost used by Wildpaw Village to observe the situation in the south and a staging point for gathering resources. In charge of the camp is a level 4 Bearman Warrior Elite, and there is also a Level 3 Bearman Watcher Elite who comes to check on the Tar Monster.

Handing over Elder Wululu's letter of introduction to the bear warrior elite, Yuan Mu arranged his generals in a camp. The bears here are accustomed to seeing creatures such as sludge monsters and tar monsters, and they have no resistance to the generals.

"I heard that there are some swamp creatures imprisoned here, and I wanted to see if I could recruit some, so we took on the task of clearing out the tar monsters."

The Bearman Warrior Administrator pointed at the Bearman Observer: "Let him take you, you'd better not recruit the Tar Monsters, each of them will defect, these Tar Monsters are really difficult to deal with." ”

The bearman watcher took Yuan Mu and them to the cell. Yuan Mu asked him, "Why did so many purgatory-type tar monsters suddenly appear?" When I arrived, I saw the Tar Monster chasing the Sludge Monster. ”

"Did you find out too? The Tar Monster has been destroying other swamp creatures, causing many of them to flee to the forest and cause trouble. As for where they came from, I'm also looking for why. ”

There are a lot of swamp creatures in the cell, with the most sludge monsters and only a few tar monsters. Yuan Mu saw another Sludge Monster Elite in the Sludge Monster.

Sludge Ejector (white), a free level 2 class, elite unit, has no talent, and has the skill of sludge spray and summons ooze monsters.

"When did there be so many elites, and the Sludge Monster Elite saw two in one day, could it be that the information I saw was wrong?"

Of course, the information that Yuan Mu saw would not be wrong, because this was the information he saw in the system before entering the Hero Continent.

"Looks like there's a reason, well......"

Yuan Mu thought for a moment and said to the bearman observer, "I want to recruit this sludge blaster. ”

"Yes, that's the camp's income, but I'll warn you that he's likely to run away."

Yuan Mu picked a few more high-level sludge monsters, and after recruiting troops, the bearman observer took them to test the tar monster's combat power.

"These tar monsters have high defense, but the disadvantage is that their attacks are average and their speed is very slow. The classes we've found now are Tar Warriors, Tar Creepers, Tar Lurkers, and Tar Beasts. ”

"There are so many types of troops, is there a lair of theirs nearby?"

"We also suspected, but we didn't find it, and the swamp is really not suitable for bear-man activities."

After resting in the camp for the night, asking the bearman observers a lot about the tar monsters, the next day Yuan Mu led his troops to the swamp - only to the edge and periphery of the swamp, of course.

As soon as he arrived in the swamp, before Yuan Mu could start looking for the tar monster, the Sludge Jet Elite jumped into the swamp with the other sludge monsters and headed towards the depths of the swamp.

"Huh?" Yuan Mu didn't react for a while, "They all ran away like this?" ”

"Your Excellency?" Rapid shooter elite Di Liya raised the bow and arrow in her hand and asked Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu thought about it for a long time, and felt more and more that there was a situation inside. Still shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them go." ”

Finding a specific creature in the swamp was not an easy task, but I was able to consult the neighborhood of the Bearman Watcher and kill some Tar Monsters. Yuan Mu found that these tar monsters were in danger, and other tar monsters would come to the rescue, and when they couldn't be defeated, they would soon run away, and the same was true for the sludge monsters, which were not at all like ordinary wild creatures.

"That's right!" Yuan Mu thought of a possibility, and asked someone to find a tar monster, don't attack, and take out a primary diplomatic order.

Amelia was surprised, "You can't be trying to recruit a normal sludge monster with a junior diplomatic order, are you?" ”

"Of course not." The system also quickly gave Yuan Mu an answer.

'This creature is not a wild creature and cannot be recruited using a Junior Diplomatic Order. ’

"I see." Yuan Mu also found a sludge monster and tried it, but it was also not a wild creature and could not be recruited. It's not a wild creature, or it has a faction or a special mission.

"You're saying there's a tribe of sludge and a tribe of tar monsters fighting right now?" Amelia asked.

"It seems so, it should be that this Tar Monster tribe has just arrived in this swamp to destroy the Sludge Monster tribe."

"That doesn't sound impossible, the Sludge Monsters have very low intelligence, and I haven't heard of a tribe of Sludge Monsters before. But what does that mean for us? ”

"Establishing a tribe must have very intelligent units, we can find a slightly intelligent sludge monster to spread the word that we are willing to help them destroy the tar monster and let them lead the way, so that the task will be easily completed? If we need to, we can even get the location of the Tar Monster tribe and inform the Bearman village to destroy them. ”

"That's a good idea." Amelia praised.

Just do it, Yuan Mu first went back to the camp and picked up the only sludge monster with wisdom and talent, and after confirming that it was not a wild creature with a diplomatic order, he told it to go back and spread the word, and let it go. For the sake of insurance, it took some time to find one in the same wild.

"Does this really work?" Tausno yawned against the tree, they had been waiting for the place they had agreed on for a long time. Amelia and her men are still looking for the Tar Monster.

"It should work." Yuan Mu is also not sure.

As soon as he finished speaking, the swamp mud in front of him suddenly tumbled, and a huge boat-like creature emerged from the bottom of the swamp. Ursa was alertly ready for battle, and Tausno also picked up an axe to protect Yuan Mu.

The giant creature opened its mouth, revealing several sludge monsters, including the mud nester that Yuan Mu had rescued when he came, and the sludge ejector he had recruited later.

"Hello, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Yuan Mu greeted several sludge monsters.

"Friendly heroes, although they have advanced to the elite, they have a deep racial influence, and their intelligence is not high, and they can't understand your thoughts." A deep voice rang out, made by the giant creature.
