Chapter 522: Cytoplasm [Two in One]
"Since high-level monsters are afraid of these divine insect powder, why don't we carry some on our bodies, so that we can avoid encountering high-level monsters?" Eugene couldn't help but ask curiously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'll tell you when we're out of here." Ian said with a solemn expression, "The whole team is ready to move forward at full speed and enter the wasteland." With that, giving Martin a look, the two of them took the lead, quickly crossed the border, entered the deserted area, and advanced at full speed in a straight line.
Dudian's eyes flickered slightly, and he followed.
He noticed that there were many red heat spots in the vicinity of the smell of the god insect powder, especially in some soils, in the remains of the ruins, and in the dense deep grass.
"Luna, Dudian, if there's any situation, report it immediately." As he walked forward, Ian said in a low voice.
Luna and Dudian nodded slightly, following behind the two of them, in the middle of the group, while Ruby, Rosemary, and Eugene were at the back of the group, protecting Dudian and Luna.
"There's a monster in the direction of half past two in the front."
"There's a monster at ten o'clock."
On the way, Dudian will constantly report to Ian the location of some of the monsters he will encounter in the path, and as for other monsters in distant directions, there is no need to report.
In the blink of an eye, it had been seven or eight minutes since everyone entered the deserted area, and although they would choose to take a detour after occasionally encountering monsters, they still left the boundary line carved by the divine insect powder more than thirty kilometers away.
The speed of Ian and Martin gradually decreased, and in the full speed of the team, the physical consumption of everyone was also relatively large, and they needed to recover in time to maintain their best condition at all times.
After the speed decreased, Ian took the time to respond to Eugene's previous question, and said, "Although the Divine Worm Powder can dispel high-level monsters, it has a fatal allure for ordinary monsters, and usually near the boundary line, a large number of ordinary monsters will be gathered. Of course, the ordinary monsters referred to here are not those small monsters that inhabit the green wasteland area and hunt level seven or eight, but the ordinary monsters in our area. ”
Eugene was stunned, understood, rolled his eyes, and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't we use the divine insect powder as bait, make traps, and wipe out these monsters?" In this way, the speed of cleaning monsters should be increased many times. ”
Ian nodded and said: "The idea is good, some people have thought about it before, but it is very difficult to make a trap that can trap and kill these monsters above the level of thirty, and it takes too many materials, and these materials are transported here from the giant wall, and the risk is too great, Xiao Du should know this, you are a hunter, you should have learned how to make traps, right?" ”
Seeing him talking about himself, Du Dian said, "Yes, if you just make a trap to kill and hunt monsters of more than ten levels, and use the resources in the wilderness, you can barely do it." ”
The so-called trap is nothing more than using the destructive power of the surrounding environment to deal with the enemy. And in this wilderness environment, if you want to make a trap, you can only dig a pit, or throw it with the help of boulders, and such a trap will have a great effect on hunting monsters above level 30, which is also the reason why the hunter profession is not popular among high-level hunters. At the level of the Boundary Bearer, the environment faced and the monsters encountered led to the role of the hunter profession being even lowered, and he could only cooperate with his teammates and secretly release cold arrows in the back, neither alone nor the ability to become the core of the team.
Like Greile, whom Dudian knew, she was also an archer at first, but by the time she reached the High Hunters, she successfully transformed into an Assassin.
Combined with her Black Weaver Stigma ability, she can sneak assassination, and can often lead a team to survive alone in the wilderness, and can hunt monsters much higher than her own physique alone.
However, Dudian is still a traditional hunter, fighting with bows and arrows, and he suffers a lot in weapons alone. The higher the physique, the higher the requirements for the bow, after all, whether they can exert their own strength is no longer to see the accuracy, but to see the penetrating power of the arrow!
And accuracy has long been a basic requirement among the boundaries.
As for the power of penetration, it all depends on a bow.
However, this is only the value of the traditional hunter in the later period of this world. When Du Dian still chose the bow and arrow, he had already taken these into account, for him, there were ways to make a monster with a pit killing and hunting level of thirty or even higher, but these methods were not suitable for use in front of Ian, and it was easy to expose his own details.
"And." Ian continued: "Divine Worm Powder has always been managed by the top, even the deacon-level bigwigs can't touch Divine Worm Powder, let alone us ordinary Dragon Guards. ”
Eugene was speechless and said, "Since this thing is so precious, they still spill it directly to this border, how much do you have to sprinkle it, it's too wasteful, right?" ”
Ian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think it's a waste to spend resources on the Forge Giant Wall?" ”
Hearing this, Eugene immediately understood that the boundaries outlined by this divine insect powder were like an invisible giant wall, blocking high-level monsters, so it would not hurt to spend any amount of divine insect powder, but if this resource was handed over to these people, it would be too extravagant.
"Captain, why don't we go back and secretly get some divine insect powder?" Eugene rolled his eyes and said, "As long as it is sealed, then the smell will not leak, in case you encounter a high-level monster, you can take it out and use it, wouldn't it be a free life-saving trump card?" ”
"It's useless." Ian shook his head, "Although high-level monsters are disgusted with the taste of divine insect powder, it doesn't mean that divine insect powder can really stop high-level monsters, otherwise there will be no monsters in the wasteland occasionally sneaking out." When we meet a high-level monster and attract its attention, even the smell of divine insect powder is difficult to discourage its desire to hunt, just like we hate a dirty place full of feces, but if there is gold and treasure in it, then will we still hate it? will only endure the nausea and pick out the contents of it. ”
Eugene was stunned, smiled bitterly, and said, "It seems that it is a joy for nothing." ”
"You can think of it, everyone else can think of it, and no one is stupid." Martin, who was parallel to Ian, said coldly.
Eugene smiled slightly wryly and stopped talking.
"A mark I used to leave in front of me is gone." Luna said suddenly.
Hearing this, Ian and Martin paused slightly, turned their heads to look at her, and Ian said, "How far is it?" ”
"Eleven o'clock ahead, about twenty miles." Luna frowned slightly, shook her head slightly, and said, "It may also be washed away by the disaster, after all, when I left that mark, it was the last time I carried out the mission, and it was almost half a year in between." ”
Ian looked at him solemnly and said, "Don't be careless, your mark is not so easy to be washed away by the rain." ”
Luna asked, "Why don't we take a detour?" ”
Ian muttered for a moment, looking around, surrounded by a ruined city, and in the distance the outline of dark green mountains could be seen, surrounding the perimeter of the ruined city, the sky was hazy and humid.
"The Wind Listener is a rare name-giving monster on the Monster Illustrated Book." Ian frowned and said, "Hearing is sensitive, and it is a rock-based monster that can drill into the soil and hide underground." According to the Bestiary, it likes to inhabit moist areas with soft soil, and likes to eat rotting things, including rotting plant leaves, but its favorite is rotting flesh corpses. ”
"This generation is the western part of Orange Badland Three, and it's also a humid area, so it should be lurking somewhere around this ruined city."
Martin nodded and said, "It's hard for us to find it, so we can only follow the old rules and let it come out to find us, but in this way, it is easy to attract other monsters with similar tastes, so everyone is ready to fight." ”
Ian nodded slightly, glanced at a nearby tall building, and immediately quickly climbed up from the outside of the tall building, this tall building was covered with vines, it looked like it was supported by vines, he climbed to the top of the building and looked at it for a while, then returned downstairs, and said to everyone: "Go to the west, the fog is heavier there." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead.
Dudian and Luna followed, in charge of guiding the way.
Avoiding some hot monsters along the way, occasionally encountering some walking corpses, or hunting monsters of more than ten levels, Ian led the team to kill them directly, or get rid of them, without deliberately hunting.
Du Dian followed the team, experiencing the work of the Dragon Wilderness, and suddenly understood in his heart why there were still so many monsters in the wasteland that had been opened up outside the giant wall, and now the reason was clear, the pioneers were only responsible for killing high-level monsters, while the boundary ones only hunted mission monsters, and for the rest of the monsters, they didn't bother to pay attention to them, and they would waste unnecessary physical energy.
And these monsters, in the end, survived and multiplied more and more.
"Huh!" Everyone passed by the corner of the ruined street, and suddenly saw a monster pointed out by Dudian, Ian saw its appearance, exclaimed, and then smiled: "It's actually a rare name-giving monster "Cytoplasm Person" in the growth period, good luck." ”
When everyone who was in a hurry saw this monster, they all showed a smile on their faces, and the parasitic soul worm that gave the name of the monster could be exchanged for two hundred medals in the clan, and if it was a rare monster, it could be exchanged for a thousand medals.
"Eugene, Dudian, which of you two is going to kill?" Ian laughed, "Hurry up, let it run." ”
Eugene said excitedly: "I'll go." With that, he picked up his sword and rushed forward.
This growing cytoplasm, the hunting level is between eighteen and twenty-five, the body is humanoid, there are several head-like sarcomas, each sarcoma is covered with fishy mucus, permeated with a yellowish liquid, like bile, full of stench, claws are uneven like branches, but very sharp, the body stands crookedly, looking extremely terrifying.
If it is a complete body, the hunting level will reach fifty-seven, and it can easily kill a high-level boundary, but this one in front of him needs to transform twice more than one more time.
"Shhh Seeing Eugene pounce, the cytoplasm opened his mouth and roared, the center of his body was full of sharp teeth, and his body suddenly ejected out to meet Eugene.
Eugene's dexterity easily dodged the Cytoplasm's frontal blow, and with a flick of his backhand as he brushed by, the knife cut through the Cytoplasm's body, cutting a wound that spurted out yellow blood and splattered on the back of his armor.
He was short, his footsteps quickly stopped, he turned around and stabbed out, instantly piercing the body of the cytoplasm, and then his arm shook, expanding the wound and at the same time rapidly drawing the knife, raising his foot and kicking it out, kicking it unbalanced and leaning forward.
At the same time, he quickly caught up, his sword slashing at several sarcomas on its body.
Before coming to the deserted area, he also did a lot of homework, memorized the monster atlas, and knew that the fatal part of this cytoplasm is these sarcomas, which can give birth to small cytoplasms, which are parthenogenetic monsters.
The battle ended quickly, after all, Eugene is a junior boundary, and he can fight against monsters with a hunting level of forty, and although this name-giving monster is stronger than ordinary monsters of the same level, its comprehensive combat power is only about thirty at the hunting level, and the difference is ten hunting levels, which means crushing.
After killing the Cytoplasm, Eugene retrieved a Parasitic Soul Worm from its blood and put it in a bottle in its backpack.
Everyone wears this special bottle for storing parasitic soul worms before they come out, in case something can be put on them when they are lucky.
Back in front of everyone, Eugene smiled: "This little thing is quite flexible. ”
Ian smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, the smell of blood here is too strong, don't attract other monsters." After saying that, he led the team to walk quickly down the street.
After everyone left the street for a long time, the cytoplasm lying in the middle of the street trembled slightly, and then seemed to be dragged by something into the darkness of the nearby alley, and then there was a sound of bones chewing.
After killing the cytoplasm, Du Dian and the others successively encountered a lot of monsters, among which the number of walking corpses was the largest, and occasionally they would encounter flying monsters, these flying monsters hovered high in the air, occasionally swooped down, picked up walking corpses or unknown monsters from the ground, flew into the sky, and disappeared into the distance.
It's getting dark.
Ian stopped his journey and led Dudian and the others to a ruined basement to live in, covered with dust and cobwebs, as well as some hard, sticky slurry that seemed to be the saliva and feces left behind by some monsters, apparently inhabited by monsters at one time.
However, judging from the traces of dry and hard slime left behind, the monsters that inhabit here have been gone for a long time.
"Dispose of the blood on your body." Ian brushed the grass rolled up by the roadside vines, wiped the blood from his armor, and said to the others.
Eugene, Rosemary, Martin and the others silently wiped the blood from their armor, they knew that the danger outside the wall would gradually come, and the longer they stayed, the more blood stains they would stain during the battle, and the greater the chance of attracting high-level monsters.
"We're at the edge of the city, and there's a mountain in front of us." Ian wiped his armor and said, "Judging from the humidity in the air, the mountain we are going to tomorrow should be the wettest place in the vicinity, and the wind-listeners are likely to lurk there, take a rest tonight, and tomorrow will be the real start of the battle." ”
