7. Encounters
Swamp Leech (Rare Elite), level 4, 600 health.
Seeing that the leech was about to retract into the mud, Lin Wen pulled the trigger again and again, and three arcane shots with a glimmer of light directly broke the leech in two.
Gain 150 experience points. With the death of the leech, a purple piece of data appeared in front of Lin Wen's eyes, and the experience slot at the bottom of the field of vision also increased slightly.
It stands to reason that leeches are very tenacious creatures, and they can be twisted for a long time even if they are cut in two, but they have to die if their health is emptied.
Not only did the swamp leech contribute a small amount of experience, but it also dropped a white crystal from the fracture.
Level 4 Pale Crystal, a magic crystallization in the body of a living being, has a very wide range of uses. Use: Gain 80 experience points.
Lin Wen knew this thing, in the Acala Continent, not only the cultivation of the warriors needed to consume this crystal, but also the manufacture of many things, for example, the bullet in the Raptor rifle in Lin Wen's hand had to be mixed with the powder of this crystal when it was made. A thumb-sized piece is enough to make 1000 light projectiles.
For this kind of thing that can only be calculated in silver coins, Lin Wen did not keep it. Directly crushed the crystal, and the magic power of the crystal memory suddenly turned into experience points and merged into Lin Wen's experience slot, and the experience slot rose a little again.
The current experience value is 46%, and it feels like you can level up with a few more.
However, the creatures that Lin Wen encountered in the future were not as generous as the giant leeches, whether it was a swamp leech with a long arm or a swamp frog with a large human head, all of them only gave 5 points and 6 experience points, and the magic crystallization was even more of a poor ghost.
"Alas, rare elites are just different from ordinary monsters." Lin Wen sighed, and then gave the Raptor rifle a new magazine. Before leaving the Tower of Souls, Lin Wen didn't have much else in the 16-compartment backpack given by Mekatos, but he had a lot of ammunition, and he brought 100 fully loaded magazines and a full 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
Just as he was loading his ammunition, Lin Wen suddenly noticed a glimmer of fire in front of him. Although it was raining heavily and the rain fog blocked most of the light, the hazy orange-red spots were still very noticeable in the dark swamp.
Anyone here? Lin Wen suddenly became interested, and ran towards the place where the light was shining with all his might. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a fire to burn in the rain, so it proves that the place where the light shines is a place where you can shelter from the rain. Thankfully, Lin Wen felt like he was freezing.
Just when he was still about fifty meters away from the firelight, Lin Wen suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something, and he was suddenly shocked, but before he could react, he only heard a "bang", and his vision suddenly turned white.
The flash trap is a non-lethal early warning trap and is a favorite of adventurers.
"Who's there?" Just when Lin Wen was covering his eyes that were about to be blinded, he heard someone shouting to his side.
……
The trap was set up by a three-person adventure team, namely trainee paladin Harvey, trainee thief Bruce, and trainee magician Suna. The three of them looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, all of them students of the academy, and they still had childish looks on their faces.
At this time, everyone was staying in the wreckage of an airship, yes, an airship from another world, a creation of a goblin, and the crashed airship was a genuine product of a goblin. The airship is disconnected, and the front section is diagonally inserted into the ground, and the fracture is downward, so the rain cannot be drenched in at all, and it is a good place to shelter from the rain.
"My name is Carré, and I'm a hunter." Lin Wen squinted his eyes and unfastened his cloak, trying to get as close to the bonfire as possible to warm himself up. "Well, trainee hunter."
The power system of the Akara continent is divided into ten levels, which are apprenticeship, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, dark gold, epic, legendary, immortal, and mythical. The first-order apprenticeship corresponds to Lin Wen's own level 1-10.
Of course, there are also strengths and weaknesses in each stage, and from Lin Wen's point of view, the character interface of these three people shows that except for the paladin Harvey who has reached level 4, the other two are all level 3.
"We're going to kill the swamp crocodiles in the depths of the muddy swamp, are you coming?" After learning that Lin Wen was alone and relatively idle, Harvey sent an invitation to Lin Wen.
"Swamp crocodile? Okay, let's do it together. Lin Wen nodded in agreement.
And Bruce and Suna looked at the weapon behind Lin Wen curiously, they had seen the musket, but it was the first time they had seen such a unique musket.
"Carré, are you really carrying a musket?" Suna curiously touched the musket on Lin Wen's back, especially the magazine under the bolt, she had never seen a gun with this thing.
"Of course......" Before Lin Wen finished speaking, he heard a loud cry, and the gun went off.
Lin Wen was so startled that he jumped up directly, and then saw a small smoking hole in the ground and Bruce's sneering expression, and estimated that he accidentally pulled the trigger.
Fortunately, Lin Wen was diagonally backed, and the muzzle of the gun was not facing the person, otherwise this shot would have killed at least one person.
"Don't mess around, okay?" Lin Wen held the gun in one hand and pointed at Bruce with the other, squinting his eyes and saying.
Bruce, who knew that he was in trouble, didn't refute it, just nodded with a wry smile.
After a night of torrential rain, the silt swamp had turned into a small lake, the water was half a man deep, and the four people on the wreckage of the airship could even see many fish swimming in the water.
Walking in such deep water would have met with greater resistance, let alone fighting. And for amphibians, water at this depth is simply heaven, just enough to exert its full combat effectiveness.
"Is there anything you'd like to say?" Lin Wen looked at the water, and then at the face of the paladin Harvey, in this three-person team, this paladin is the leader.
At this time, Harvey's face is simply like a bitter melon, and the swamp crocodile is also a first-order, but it is the pinnacle of the first order, so the task that Harvey took was a squad task, and it was recommended that 3-5 people complete it together, of course, that means that in the swamp environment before the rainstorm, the water level is so high now, unless you come to the second-order combat officer, otherwise you will send as much as you want.
"Forget it, don't kill it, go back." Ha Weiquan weighed the gains and losses, then shook his head and chose to give up.
Just when Harvey was about to jump into the water from the wreckage of the airship, and then wade back to the city, Lin Wen suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled it hard, and Harvey was caught off guard and was directly thrown to the ground by Lin Wen.
"Wow! What are you doing? Harvey exclaimed, then quickly got up and shouted at Lin Wen.
"Look over there." Lin Wen pointed to the water not far away, "We're friends." ”
A broad, scaly spine swam across the water, which was Harvey's target, the swamp crocodile, and now someone came to the door.
