Chapter 62: Mud Swamp!

"Tread, tread, stride!"

"Captain, are we really going to help the mushroom man kill the female beetle?"

Through the territory of the mushroom people, the feet of the mushroom people turned into artificial rocks again, but compared to the dampness and dirt in the sewers, the subsequent roads were significantly drier, and there was only a small amount of dust on the ground, not even cobwebs and moss.

"Of course!"

"We are an adventure team, and since we have received the payment, we naturally have to complete the mission!"

Without looking up, Green answered Ike Flaude's question as he looked at the mushroom umbrella cover given by the mushroom king in his hand and compared it with the road map drawn by the guide Gullock.

In the confrontation with the insect swarm, the mushroom tribe also thought of sending a team to hunt the mother worm, although it died halfway, but left half of the map to the mother worm's nest, which is the mushroom umbrella cover in Grimm's hand now.

And now after comparison, Green immediately found that there was a lot of overlap between the mushroom people's route to hunt the mother worm and the route to the lich's lair found on the scales on the dragonborn's chest.

This relieved Grimm that it was easier to complete a mission than to revisit an unknown location, after all, no one knew what kind of monsters existed in the gloomy sewers.

............

"There's a mud swamp ahead. ”

"Try to get to the side and move lightly!"

The dwarven hammer warrior Gullock Brute Hammer dutifully did his job, except for the resurrected skeleton that appeared alone just now, the rest of the roads and monsters were under his control.

So when the smooth and clean road came to an end, and a black-gray, bubbling swamp appeared in front of him, Gullock immediately issued a warning.

"Everyone, be careful, this swamp is full of mud monsters, try not to alarm them!"

Mud monsters are one of the most annoying and annoying monsters in the adventure, they have no mind, so many spells and magic cannot work on them, their bodies are soft and contain strong acid, their sharp magic weapons are useless or even damaged, and they are so strong that even if they are cut in two, they will redevelop into two new individuals without dying.

On top of that, other monsters will carry some useful materials such as furs, scales, coins or equipment from their previous years, but what do mud monsters have?

I'm afraid it's only needed for certain mages who conduct special experiments.

The width of the mud swamp is not large, and the opposite bank can be seen at a glance in Eliza's dark vision, but the horizontal area is still relatively wide, and you need to go around an arc along the wall to reach the opposite bank.

"Watch your step!"

"Kelya, [Increase Resistance], Olina [Endure the Environment], Eliza [Resist Energy Damage]!"

"Understood!"

The Divine Adventure Squad is an adventure squad hired by the Iron Fist Adventure Squad, and after this time of getting to know and get along, Green has learned about the professions and gods of the three beautiful ladies.

Kylia is a priest of Tyr, the god of justice, at level 11, who has just entered the path of the canon, and the path is the Lightbringer.

Olena is the priest of the Lord of the Dawn, level 12, and the path is the oracle messenger.

Eliza, the final of the Dark Elves, is the most powerful of the three priests, exemplifying the Celestial Punishment and worshipping the Dark Maiden Elisetsu, and trained as a warrior to take on the same role as Gondok in the Divine Force.

Because they thought of Glock, the priests discussed the magic of memory in advance, and at this moment, under Green's order, several magic spells that could help everyone fight better in the swamp environment were immediately released and shrouded in everyone.

Then the guide, Gullock, took the lead and tiptoed to the edge of the mud swamp.

............

The black and gray water of the mud monster swamp has a weak acid, even with [Increasing Resistance] and [Resistance Energy Damage] that converts to acid damage, there is still a slight stinging pain under everyone's feet, but it will not cause damage.

As far as the eye can see, small wriggling clumps of gum can be seen protruding from the swamp surface from time to time under the black gray water, and then slowly sinking.

"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum!"

"Those are little mud monsters, just don't step on them. ”

Looking at the little mud monster that was bulging and denting like a blister, Green whispered to the others as he walked forward.

Then, the dwarven warrior who was marching at the forefront suddenly stopped, and the old face with three pigtails was full of nervousness, and even sweat was oozing from it.

"Captain Green, what would it look like if you stepped on a little mud monster?"

"It screams, and it attracts more mud monsters!"

"I! I feel like I've stepped on ......."

With Glock's small voice, a sound like boiling water sounded from under his feet, and immediately the entire mud monster swamp stopped wriggling, and then straight water waves rushed towards the adventure team, apparently there was a mud monster hidden under each water wave!

"Prepare for battle!"

"Ike put away your weapon, Gondok backs, be careful, sharp weapons don't work against mud monsters, and don't attack in close quarters!

The disgusting nature of the mud monsters meant that they were the nemesis of both melee and physics, so Gondork, Ike, and Fiona immediately took a step back and stood in front of the four spellcasters, using their bodies as the last barrier.

Next, it's time for the caster's show!

"Snow Storm!"

As Green casually removed a pinch of dust and a few drops of water from the walls and feet, a cold rain of ice pierced through the unknown space and spilled onto half of the black swamp close to the adventure party, instantly freezing the surface of the water, forcing the mud monsters operating underwater to rush to the surface.

However, as soon as they jumped onto the frozen water, the rain of ice and rain immediately froze their gelatinous bodies, hardening into round rocks.

"Wood Thorn!"

"Smash the soundwave!"

"Stone magic!"

Three female voices with different tones but full of their own charm sounded, a piercing sound wave mixed with several magic rocks thrown by Kylia, which would be shattered by the frozen mud monsters, and Eliza, armed with a war hammer with hard wood thorns, strode out of the queue and smashed the mud monsters that were still in full shape!

Then, as the ice melts, the party reconfronts the black-and-gray swamp, except that there are no more mud monsters wriggling underwater in this half of the swamp.

"Ahh

The sound of boiling water still ringing beneath his feet, but it couldn't attract a single mud monster anymore, and in disbelief, Glock's wide eyes swept across the surface of the mud monster swamp and shifted to Grimm's face.

It's just a mud monster with a melee professional nemesis, and it's just killed by a group?

"And what do you want?"

Green shrugged his shoulders in the face of Gucklock's question, followed by a chuckle from the three priests.

"Certain spells are meant to be the nemesis of mud monsters. ”

"Moreover, the small pieces that have been hammered into after being frozen are no longer enough to form the body of a mud monster. ”
