Chapter 20: The Sludge Monster
These 21 [Bobo Bird Eggs] are a major harvest.
It's even more fun than hitting the equipment!
The food is filling and easy to carry, and it is more life-threatening, and although it is a non-combat item, the effect is quite good and exciting!
Zhang Mu left 10 bird eggs, and the remaining 11 were thrown into the fire to be baked, all of which were turned into baked eggs that increased health, and several wounded people ate them, and the injuries recovered quickly, and Zuihou had 4 baked eggs left.
The fat man didn't understand this, so he asked, "Boss, do you leave 10 raw eggs?" They didn't work, I see, they were all cooked! ”
Zhang Mu shook his head and explained: "The Bobo Bird Egg is an FF-grade ingredient, but the baked egg is two grades lower, and it is just F-grade food. I think that if there are more haode cooking conditions, then I will be able to make higher quality food. Save some of the ingredients first, and then use them when you have the chance. ”
Sun Bing said: "The captain is right, the baked eggs are too classless. I used to be a chef and if I had a pot or other ingredients to help, I was guaranteed to cook a few delicious dishes! ”
The fat man suddenly said: "Oh, I see. ”
Zhang Mu continued: "Another important reason is that I tried to put the ingredients into the player's backpack, and found that the ingredients can be stacked and stored, up to 10 overlaps. After it can be processed into food, each serving occupies one compartment of the backpack. ”
Bird eggs are the size of a fist, which will be very convenient to carry around, but also fragile and fragile, and will deteriorate and lose their effect after being placed for a long time. Only when stored in the player's backpack can it be guaranteed to be undamaged or deteriorated.
The player's initial backpack is only five slots.
Zhang Mu's backpack contained a summoning skill book, a post, a map, and the extra two squares of space, which needed to be kept for storing weapons, and could no longer hold anything. If all the eggs are baked, I'm afraid that the backpack of five people will be stuffed, where will I put the loot from fighting monsters in the future?
"These ten raw eggs fit into the fat man's backpack." Zhang Mu gave the four baked eggs to Zhou Ling and Leng Yun respectively, "You two put two each." ”
The fat man was very puzzled: "Why are all the eggs that are given to me?" ”
Zhang Mu glanced at him and said bluntly: "I don't worry about the baked egg on your body." ”
"Damn, you don't have to say it so directly, right? You still don't trust me as a person? The fat man swore and said: "The fat man has a nickname called Honest and Reliable Xiao Langjun, you can rest assured that you can save it, I swear that I will protect it with my life!" ”
Several people ignored the fat man.
Zhang Mu stood up and observed, the five of them were not too far from the shore, and there were a few smaller reed areas nearby, so they could search by the way when they left. After all, bird eggs are not small, and it is always beneficial to find more to carry some with you.
The five of them collected a large pile of reeds, although the rope made of crocodile skin all sank into the mire, but there was a spare rope prepared when entering the forest, which was more than enough to make a large raft, Zhang Mu scooped up the bamboo pole to make oars, and the team set off again.
The team of five people shared a large reed raft, carefully supporting bamboo poles, and slowly advanced on the water. He entered three reeds one after another, spent a lot of time searching, and obtained 16 [Bobo Bird Eggs].
At this time, it is too early, the forest at night is too dangerous, and it is necessary to find a safe enough place to spend the night before dark, otherwise the night cannot be guaranteed, and there is no time to stay in the wetland.
Zhang Mu floated to the shore with the raft, the terrain of this place is getting higher, the water is gradually drying up, there is a distance of more than two or three hundred meters in front, it is all pitch black swamp silt, and there is basically no water.
"There was no water." Leng Yun inserted a bamboo pole into the mud, most of which was not in it, Dai frowned and said, "It's about two meters, it's too deep, how can we get there?" ”
Zhang Mu pondered for a moment, first tried the hardness of the silt, nodded and said: "There is still a way, these muds have been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the surface layer is relatively hard, although it can't withstand the pressure of going up directly." But make a flat plate out of reeds and put it on your shoes. Enlarge the bearing area, so that it is not easy to sink when walking on the mire. ”
Several people collected reeds and tied them with ropes to make boards as long as a sleigh and as wide as a washboard, and split bamboo poles and connected them to the reeds to make a fan, one on each of their left hands, like a boat oar inserted into the silt to create propulsion, which can be used to assist in advancing.
"Okay." Zhang Mu tried: "Let's go." ”
The others are not a problem, but the fat man is choked enough, he has two hundred and fifty pounds, which is too heavy. Although a pair of particularly huge tools were made for them, it was still enough to move, Zhang Mu and Sun Bing were supporting and sharing the pressure on the left and right, step by step, carefully.
This method really works, as long as you walk slowly, don't use too much force, and it's still quite stable.
shore, already in sight.
Halfway through, something unexpected happened.
The swamp mud in front of and around was suddenly turned over, and a large number of bubbles and thin mud gushed out of it, and then more than a dozen humanoid monsters were seen, slowly standing up from the swamp. The monster is similar in size to a human, with a head and a body, and complete limbs, except that it has no facial features, no fingers or toes. The whole body was dripping with rotten mud, full of rotten aquatic grass roots, and it was like a person who had soaked in a dung pit for three days and three nights and crawled out.
"Fuck me!" The fat man scolded: "Weishenme's unlucky things will always be bumped into by us!" ”
[Sludge Monster] (Normal Monster), Level 8, Health 70, Magic 50, Attribute ??? Skill???
Although it's an ordinary monster, the level is not low, I don't know the strength or weakness, if it's good to fight on land, in this difficult swamp environment, the difficulty of the battle is increased countless times.
Chen Ling said nervously: "Captain, they seem to be coming, what should I do?" ”
Zhang Mu pulled him: "What can I do, let's go!" ”
The sludge monster seemed to be very slow to react, and after coming out of the swamp, it first wandered in place several times, and it took more than ten seconds to finally lock on the position of a few people, and then slowly concentrated. Although the movement speed was slow, it was enough to surround the five before they could go ashore.
Leng Yun raised the fishbone staff, condensed the magic that had been recovered with great difficulty, and the ice arrow hit a sludge monster in front of him, causing a staggering 80 points of damage, killing it instantly. But it doesn't help to get out of the predicament, Leng Yun has no magic power, not to mention that the cooldown of the elementalist skill is too long.
"Hurry, hurry up!"
Zhang Mu and Sun Bing supported the fat man forward, and there was less than a hundred meters left from the other side.
A sludge monster was not far away, suddenly stopped, its two arms slowly raised, the green liquid condensed between its arms, and threw it at the five people with all its might. Zhang Mu faced the flying green ball, and immediately dodged sideways, and the green ball passed by and fell into the swamp. Zhang Mu didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and when he picked up the bamboo paddle and looked at it, he couldn't help frowning,
The green ball rubbed over the bamboo, so some liquid was left on it, and as a result, the bamboo broke off from the middle under the strong corrosive force.
Zhang Mu threw away the scrapped bamboo paddle: "Everyone be careful, this is 'acid bomb' magic, which can corrode equipment, and the damage ability is not weak, don't be hit." ”
It's bad luck to encounter a sludge monster in a swamp, and what's even more difficult is that a sludge monster is a monster with magical attack abilities. Although it can only be a spell, the damage ability of [Acid Bomb] is also very average, and it can have an amazing corrosive effect, which can weaken the target's defense, wear and corrode equipment, and reduce its durability and attributes.
There are more and more sludge monsters, and acid bombs are coming one after another, but fortunately, the mud monsters are not in high spirits, so they are very inaccurate, and the acid catapults come over, and a small half of them miss, and most of the rest can be dodged.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, an acid bomb came at you.
Sun Bing raised his shield, with a soft snap, the acid bullet stuck to it like glue, only to see a corrosive sound of "snort" on the shield, the durability suddenly dropped by 4 points, and the defense was weakened by a few points, which couldn't help but make him feel distressed. This is a guy who eats, and a knight can be without a weapon, but definitely not without a shield.
Leng Yun said hurriedly: "There are more and more of them." ”
Zhang Mu urged: "Speed up, speed up!" ”
Several people saw more and more sludge monsters standing up in the distance, and it didn't take long for them to be surrounded by silt monsters, and at that time, the overwhelming acid bombs attacked, and it was estimated that there were no bones left in the corroded bones.
It's less than forty or fifty meters away!
At this time, an acid bullet hit the fat man's thigh, his pants were corroded, and a large piece of skin and flesh was rotted in an instant, bursts of white smoke came out, and the fat man covered his thighs and screamed: "Fuck, legs!" My leg! ”
Zhang Mu took the bamboo pole and inserted it into the mud: "It's not so deep here, don't care so much, just rush ashore!" ”
The crowd jumped into the mud and swam like a mud swim, heading towards the shore in the stinking mud. The mud here is not too deep, only about one meter, and it is not very difficult to walk through it with the current constitution of a few people.
The number of sludge monsters is increasing, while the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the acid bomb attacks are getting denser and denser.
Zhang Mu was also hit by an acid bomb in his back, and the feeling of burning and corroding his skin and flesh was pulling every nerve, and the pain caused was beyond imagination. Zhang Mu didn't know what was going on in his back, but he was afraid that his skin would rot.
"Ah, I can't stand it!"
The fat man was confronted by an acid bomb in front of his chest, and he couldn't help roaring, suddenly concentrated liliang, spewed out red energy, and his huge body slammed forward, like a bulldozer, opening a deep gully in the silt, zuihou crashed into the mud monster that attacked him just now, and the powerful impact force smashed most of the silt monster in half, and picked up the big sword to cut off the silt monster's waist.
Zhang Mu approached the shore, stepped on the solid ground with his feet, and immediately took out his twin swords, turned on the speed skate and rushed over, the sword light flashed, and several silt monsters were chopped up.
"Hurry up!"
The two of them cleared the way and cleared the mud monster in front of them, and the other three landed one after another, finally getting out of the predicament.
Hundreds of sludge monsters landed one after another, but they were too slow to keep up with the five.
Zhang Mu Fat Man continued to open the way, in addition to throwing acid bombs, the mud monster does not have much ability, and the melee ability is even more a mess, although the blood volume is high, but it is not beaten, and the two of them can easily solve more than ten of them.
The fat man wielded his great sword and split a sludge monster in half from head to toe, turning it into a puddle of mud and falling to the ground, suddenly bursting out of something. He went carefully and was immediately surprised, it was a skill book!
These little monsters are so stingy that they can't even drop gold coins, and they can actually explode the skill book?
The fat man was overjoyed, forgot about the pain for a while, and quickly put away the skill book.
