Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Little Boss of the Sewers
As a traverser, Green knows many hidden treasure locations, as long as it is a slightly more famous treasure location in the game, Green basically knows it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in the absence of an accurate map of the sewers, Green could only determine the approximate location of the chamber, and it would take a lot of effort to find the hidden chamber.
"Huh? How can there be fluorescent moss here? On the way to find the secret room, Green accidentally found a place with silver moss.
On one of the floors in the sewers, a faint glow of cyan moss illuminates a small area. Obviously, this small area is not an ordinary moss, but a fluorescent moss that needs to absorb the magic in the air to survive, and if the concentration of magic in the air is not up to the standard, the fluorescent moss will quickly wither like water-starved moss, and then become the nourishment of ordinary moss.
Fluorescent moss is a "demonic plant" produced by moss under the influence of a high magic environment, and it does not normally appear in Port Kapoor - due to the very low concentration of mana in the Sea of Damned area, it is only during the "Magical Night" that the mana concentration in Port Kapoor barely meets the minimum requirement for the survival of fluorescent moss. But now it's a few hours until the night of magic.
Encountering fluorescent moss in a low-magic area can only mean one thing: there's a source of mana nearby!
"The Chamber of Secrets is around here? No, the chamber is well sealed, and it is impossible to affect the moss outside. So that means ......" Green glanced around, then turned his gaze to the flowing sewage, "Is the thing underwater?" ”
The water level of the sewage is high and it flows a little faster than normal, and it looks like something below is raising the water level and affecting the flow of sewage.
"Sakia, can you see what's down there?" At this time, you can only rely on Shakia's external eyes.
Shakia stared at the water: "The concentration of magic below is very high, and it seems that there are creatures lurking in the water. ”
Greene: "Can you tell what kind of creature it is?" ”
"It's a lot of volume...... The shape looks a bit like a slime, but it's much larger than the slimes we've encountered before. ”
"It looks like the magical treasure is in the slime's belly." This is the rhythm of fighting the boss. I wonder what will fall out?
Shakia: "Yes, there seems to be a lot of mana concentration in that slime's stomach that is much higher than others. ”
After asking Shakia about the boss, Green immediately began to arrange tactics.
"This slime is hiding in the water, and we must bring it ashore - at least the part of its body that has the core of the slime. Just lure it ashore and I'll be able to finish it off with a freeze attack. ”
"Senior Green, how can we bring it up?" Good baby Mitchell raised her hand and asked, "The slimes we met before only knew how to escape." ”
"If it were me, I would have run away if I encountered a monster dozens of times larger than me." Green complained, "But this slime down there is different, it's much bigger than us!" As long as it understands that our attack does not threaten it, then there is a high probability that it will be provoked to come ashore and attack us. ”
"I'll lead the monsters, but when the monsters surface, you'll need you...... Forget it, let me do it. Mitchell, give me your shield later, and stay away alone. Shakia, you stand over there. Be careful not to be spotted by slimes. You'll be responsible for finding the slime's core later, and when its core starts to float to the surface of your body, tell me immediately, and I'll attack! By the way, watch out for the acid and sludge, it's pretty disgusting when you get it......"
Seeing the boss, Green kicked Mitchell out of the squad directly, and then began to arrange tactics for Shakia. In this battle, Shakia's observation ability will be the core of all tactics, and only by successfully confirming the location of the slime's core will Green and his party have a chance to kill the slime. If the location of the slime core can't be determined, then the battle will become very tough!
Once you've arranged your tactics, take out your spell book and start preparing...... Or rather, learning magic.
Because gun magic can inflict piercing (physical), fire, explosion, freeze, and electric shock damage on the enemy according to the type of use, Green does not need to invest skill points in attack spells in the early stage, so that Green can save a lot of time and skill points. But considering the terrifying number of spells of the mage, no matter how many skill points there are, you can't use them indiscriminately! Therefore, Green did not rush to smash the skill points into it after obtaining the spell book, but kept the skill points and only used them when needed.
After completing his bloodline quest, Green plans to go to the Academy of Magic to participate in "courses" and "training", and obtain (upgrade) spells and skills by completing regular courses (training). Although it will take a lot of time, money, and energy, it is the only way for players to get a lot of spells without spending skill points to obtain spells and skills in this way - the number of spells in the game is simply bad, and no amount of skill points alone is enough!
"If you want to deal with the slime boss, the mage armor is a must, otherwise you will be GG if you are splashed with those acids...... Originally, I wanted to try to teach myself. Forget it, this spell must be mastered anyway, even if you spend skill points to learn it, it's a big deal to choose a new spell to learn by yourself. ”
"With slimes' habits, I only have one chance to attack, and if I can't get rid of it in one hit, I'm afraid it will flee back into the water when it is frightened...... No, forget it, there's no need to waste skill points learning this spell for the time being. It's a big deal that I'm going to waste a little more mana and use a covering strike to destroy its slime core. ”
Green smashed two skill points into the mage's armor and instantly gained this skill.
By this time, Mitchell had completely left the tunnel with the torches, and Sakia had already prepared according to the previous tactical arrangement. After preparing for the spell, Green walked to the water's edge and began to play monsters.
Green finds a twig from the garbage floating on the water, and pokes it into the water.
Poke!
I'm poked!
I'm poked and poked!
"Master, that slime has moved!"
With Sakia's reminder, circles of ripples began to appear on the smooth water. Green hurriedly threw away the branches, retreated, and then picked up the shield that was placed aside and blocked it in front of him, completely shrinking his body behind the shield.
No sooner had Green left the shore than the water arched, and a mud-like monster appeared on the surface.
"Poof!" The mud exploded, and the rancid mud flew all over the sky, and the shield in Green's hand was also popped by the mud. However, because Green was far away, it didn't affect Green.
The slime's physical immunity is very disgusting, but the attack method is very monotonous, coming and going in two ways: first, swallowing the enemy into his stomach, using stomach acid and suffocation to kill the enemy. 2. Spit out stomach acid and use acid corrosion to cause damage to the enemy. As a player, Green already knows how to deal with both attacks.
Green quietly observed the mud on the ground and the shield in his hand, and found that the shield was still in good condition.
"Sure enough, this slime has just advanced, and although it has become larger, the acid concentration in its body is still very low." Green released his shield, stood up, and removed his bow and arrow from his back.
Aim!
Shoot!
Green let go of the bowstring, and the arrow shot straight out, and then sank into the mud without a ripple.
Although slimes are only the lowest-level monsters, they are so large that ordinary physical attacks are completely useless, and even the tactic of "breaking the slime core" is too large for the opponent to achieve.
However, Green's attack also managed to attract the attention of the slime.
In the face of Green's attack, the slime seemed to hesitate. That is, there was no landing, and there was no dive. But when it found that the arrows were completely ineffective against it, it seemed to be finally moved.
"Master, the slime core is starting to float!"
"Hide it now, don't let it find out. Keep waiting for your time! Its body is still underwater, and even if we destroy its slime core now, we won't be able to touch the loot under the sewage, right? "Killing the boss without any loot is something Green can't accept.
Thinking that he was very stealthy, the slime floated his "eyes" from his stomach to the surface of his body, and quietly glanced at the situation on the shore. When it discovers that there is only one "small" human on the shore, and that the "small" weapon of that human does not hurt at all when it shoots at itself, the slime finally gets angry!
You're killing yourself!
The slime sank into the sewage again.
"Sakia, is it moving?" Green consulted "Radar" for intelligence.
Shakia: "It's moving downstream. ”
"Good!" Green put away his bow and arrows, took a few steps back, and then crouched down near the wall, defending! At the same time, take out a small piece of cooked skin (casting material) from the bag and start casting the spell.
After a short chant: "Mage armor!" ”
A transparent armor covered his entire body emerged from Grimm's body.
――――
Mage Armor, 1 Ring Spell Spell, Learning Cost: 2 Skill Points. Summons a Force Field armor that covers the entire body, providing a +4 armor bonus and lasting 6 seconds/level.
――――
Green's mage armor is only level 1 and lasts only a short 6 seconds, so Green must estimate the time before the opponent attacks before using this spell.
Green had just finished casting the spell and suddenly! The water rippled, and the slime pounced out of the sewage, like a tiger descending a mountain, to where Green had been standing!
"Smack!" Sewage full of disease and acid splattered everywhere, making Green's shield a little heavier. Due to the proximity of the distance, even a shield could not protect against all the mud, but fortunately, Green was prepared, and the mage armor on his body successfully blocked the rest of the mud - although the slime had a low acid concentration, Green was still reluctant to touch the mud full of disease and corrosive effects.
Green poked his head out from behind his shield and got a good view of the slime in front of him.
――――
Upcoming Large Slime (Black Iron Tier, Challenge Level 10)
――――
It was a very large slime, almost like a hill! The walkway of the sewer is simply not enough to stuff its body, and even if its body fills the space of the aisle, a large part of its body is still hidden in the sewage gutter.
The slime squirmed there a few times. Finding that it didn't seem to have pounced on anything made it wonder.
"Master, the core of it is starting to float. In the sewage! At this moment, Shakia suddenly received an important piece of information through a psychic connection.
Green cast his gaze to the surface of the sewage. Half of the slime's body is still hidden under the sewage, and its weakness, the slime core, is clearly there.
What a cunning guy, the core actually hides under the water. If things don't go right, this slime will immediately abandon most of its body and run away.
It's a pity that all this has been seen through by Green!
