Volume 1 Rookie Apothecary Chapter 6 Ooze Monster

The journey was very smooth, and Didi deserved to be the scout of the flying spider, and his strength was very strong. The most powerful demonic beast on the way was just a green wood wolf with no long eyes coming to attack, and it was easily dealt with by Didi in less than half a minute.

Soon the two of them came to the outskirts of the porcupine woodland, Emma stopped and looked at Didi: "Master Didi......"

Didi smiled: "Just call me Didi, we are now combat partners." Dee Dee observed the little fat man all the way, and found that Emma had always been confident, leisurely, even when the green wood wolf suddenly rushed from behind him, his face did not change. You must know that with the strength of the green timber wolf, I am afraid that one claw can scratch Emma to death. Of course, the truth is that Emma doesn't know Aotimwolf at all, and besides, with his reflexes, before he could react, the attack was completely followed by Didi. In short, Didi felt that this little fat man was a character, and it didn't take long for him to call him an adult, so he was even more polite in his words.

Emma nodded and didn't dwell on this little thing, he said, "Didi, you're familiar with the porcupine forest, right?" ”

Didi shook his head: "I'm not familiar, we happened to be passing by yesterday, and we met the Porcupine King." Thinking of the sight of the porcupine's black spikes swimming like a fish, he couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Emma's eyes lit up: "The words of the Porcupine King must be followed by a large group of people, right?" ”

Didi nodded.

Emma said, "Do you remember the location?" The safe passage we're going to should be around there. ”

Didi is a little puzzled, this guy has always acted very sure, and he doesn't even know the exact location of his feelings?

Emma saw Didi's confusion and explained, "I know how to find the passage, but I don't know the exact location, the entrance is said to change. That's why I have to come here together, otherwise I will come and die with my strength? ”

Speaking of this, Didi still had a lot of doubts, and he couldn't help asking, "Yes, I'm also curious, 5,000 gold coins shouldn't be worth the risk you take." Judging from what he observed and understood, the little fat man's family should be very rich.

Emma said, "I need that promise from the Andrews. ”

Didi nodded and turned to walk ahead, they were sticking to the edge of the forest. The porcupine forest is usually unvisited and there is no road, but fortunately there are only some low shrubs on the edge of the forest.

Didi struggled to drive the road, which is actually not Didi's forte. But there was no way, they couldn't walk the grass on the edge of the Moonlight Swamp, which was the most dangerous place to walk, the hunting area of the swamp monsters.

Emma lowered her head and carefully avoided the roots and weeds exposed under her feet, although Didi had cleaned up very carefully, but it was still extremely difficult for him as an ordinary person to walk.

Didi glanced back at him, but he could only slow down a little, and the two of them finally walked to the place where the flying spiders encountered the boar king yesterday.

"This is it". Didi said.

"It's finally here." Emma sat down on the ground from the bottom of the bush, panting from exhaustion.

The meadow on the edge of the swamp was trampled in the moonlight, strewn with footprints and porcupine's backstabs, the traces of yesterday's fierce battle. Emma couldn't help but be a little speechless: "How many porcupines are you messing with?" Look here, this backstab pierces the whole piece. ”

Didi said lightly: "It is estimated that there are several hundred." And he said, "It should be safe here." You just rest here, and I'll explore the surroundings. If there is a situation, you can call me out loud. ”

Emma agreed, threw down the package, and unhurriedly sorted out the contents.

After a while, Didi came back, and he said, "The surrounding area is very safe, and it is estimated that there will be half an hour before the fog will all disperse." At this time, the full moon in the sky was close to the center.

Emma stood up and grabbed the package that had been vacated: "Didi, you can rest too, I'll go find something." You've got a good look, and by the way, help me see which direction there are more ooze monsters. ”

Didi asked puzzled, "Ooze Monster?" ”

Emma said, "yes, it's a soft mud monster." "This kind of demonic beast is the most non-existent demonic beast in the moonlight swamp, the magic level can barely reach the first level, the attack means are extremely weak, and it can only spit out a very thin water arrow, and it usually feeds on flying insects and plants. It looks extremely ugly, soft and abrupt, like mud in a swamp, and the body is full of the smell of mud, which can be said to be harmless to humans and animals. They usually move like a rag, floating on the surface of the swamp, and even those with good eyesight need to pay attention to spot.

Of course, this was not difficult for Didi, and after a while, he found a place where ooze monsters were concentrated. Turning back, he saw Emma leaning over, holding a magic lamp that covered three sides, searching for something in the bushes.

Die Dee walked up behind Emma, "What are you looking for?" Can I help you? ”

Emma said: "I'm looking for pig fruit, there are a lot of this piece, I'll pick enough right away, so you don't have to be busy." ”

Didi was a little curious: "What is the pig fruit?" ”

Emma straightened up: "This is the fruit". He took a small fruit with some pink spots on the turquoise skin and handed it to Didi, "This shrub only bears fruit where porcupinal poops, and the spots are black when the fruit is not ripe, and the spots will turn pink when it is ripe." If you look closely, there are not many spots and they are not obvious, and they are only easy to distinguish with this special magic lamp. ”

Didi took the fruit, and curiously raised it to the magic lamp to observe: "What's the use of this?" ”

Emma said, "You'll know later, I'll have to deal with it." As he spoke, he picked up the tools from the ground and began to get busy.

Didi looked at Emma's movements curiously, thinking that he was making magic potions, and he didn't dare to disturb, only to feel that this fat man was becoming more and more unpredictable. But in fact, Emma just mashes the pig fruit, filters it, and concentrates the juice, but that's enough.

Soon, two bottles of concentrated pig juice were packed into crystal bottles, giving off a strange fragrance. Emma breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the moon, which was about to be in the middle: "The time is just right, let's start." ”

Emma showed Didi the equipment she had prepared for the two of you: "This is the clothes that cover the breath, and it will be draped from head to toe when the time comes, you compare your body and find a way to pick two holes in the position of your eyes." Didi looked at this pair, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, so ugly! However, he quickly took it, tried it, and then took out the dagger and dug two holes in it.

"Next, there's the super mosquito repellent." Emma handed a large bottle to Didi, and said proudly, "This is my improved exclusive formula, not only the terrible mosquitoes in the swamp, but also the nemesis of everything, most of the demonic beasts with a keen sense of smell have to take a detour when they meet them." ”

Didi moved too fast, and without waiting for Emma to finish, he took it and pulled out the cap directly, and was immediately smoked. He asked with an ugly face, "Isn't this going to be drunk?" ”

Emma said, "Of course ......"

Didi was shocked: "I don't drink!" ”

Emma said, "Hiccup...... Not anymore. ”

Dee Dee's face is a little distorted, and he still burps when he speaks. It's scary.

Emma looked apologetic: "Don't drink, don't drink." That was a normal hiccup. I'm sorry I ate a little too much at night, and after strenuous exercise, my stomach was a little upset. This is to be applied to the body, it is recommended to pour it from the hair and then apply it evenly. ”

Didi's face darkened, this smells a little bit and stinks, if you apply it all over your body, you can't smoke yourself to death first, right? And it looks oily and sticky, I'm afraid I can't wash it off, right?

Emma smiled: "Don't worry, this medicine is amazing, the initial question is very smelly, but after contact with the air, it will soon become fragrant." ”

Didi still looked suspicious, and Emma smiled: "I'll come first, it really doesn't stink, you watch." ”

Emma opened the lid of her bottle of Super Mosquito Repellent, put it far away, quickly stripped herself off to a pair of close-fitting pants, and then ran back to pick up the bottle and really poured it from the head. He held his breath and quickly smeared it on his body, took off his shoes and even wiped the soles of his feet, and even put his hand into the crotch of his pants to pound it......

Didi hid from a distance and looked dumbfounded for a while, and then couldn't help laughing, I don't know how to get this super mosquito repellent, after applying it, Emma's whole body turned black. In the black background of the forest, when he speaks, it seems that only his eyes and teeth are floating in the air, how funny to look at.

Emma hurriedly said: "It doesn't stink now, really, come and help me see if there is anything I haven't painted, especially the back, I can't reach it." It has to be fast, or it's gone. ”

Dee Dee couldn't help but laugh, and quickly helped to paint all the dead corners of Emma's whole body black. Sure enough, after the potion was applied, it was no longer the pungent smell it used to be, but a faint fragrance.

Emma put on her clothes back and saw that Die Di seemed to be hesitating, so she said solemnly, "If you want to be safe, you have to put it on, it's not a joke." In addition to large monsters such as giant pythons, it is estimated that there are thousands of strange insects in this swamp. In addition to insects such as the long-legged giant mosquito and the golden-legged firefly, the most terrifying thing is actually the insects in the muddy water, which are so small that they are not even visible to the naked eye. If this kind of insect enters the human body, it will be a variety of cursed powers, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of death or half death at that time. ”

Didi frowned: "Could it be that we still have to sneak into the swamp?" "He has heard of the cursed power in the swamp, so all the teams that want to pass through the swamp have at least one magic boot blessed with purification power, and those who have money are purification equipment for the lower half of their bodies and even their whole bodies.

Emma said, "No, we're lying on our stomachs in the swamp. Time is running out, so listen to me while you apply it. ”

Didi gritted his teeth, quickly took off only his underwear, and poured a bottle of super mosquito repellent from his head.

Emma helped to smear her back as she explained the way into the swamp.

This starts with the lowest-grade magical creature ooze monster in the swamp, few people care about this ugly and lazy creature, in the eyes of most people, they are just a puddle of mud, legend has it that ooze monsters can even lie motionless in one place for days, so people call lazy and ugly people "ooze monsters". However, an old herb picker once accidentally saw a group of ooze monsters moving rapidly in the swamp, and in surprise, he spent a long time tracking them, and finally discovered a surprising secret.

Ooze monsters have flat bodies that seem to have no thickness, and their species float on the surface of the swamp mud all year round, relying on a cushion of water under their bellies. When they move, the water pushes them, and as they move forward on the swamp surface, they turn and turn as if there is no resistance. In the event of an emergency, the water splashes and can even burst at an astonishing speed. And this creature has a very unique ability, they seem to have an aura, they will be ignored by other magical beasts by nature, no matter whose territory they are in, they will not be attacked, and there is no place in the entire moonlight swamp where they can't go.

Ooze monsters are oviparous creatures whose nests lie deep in the moonlit swamps. The old herb picker was surprised to find that when the eggs of the ooze monster hatched, they actually had to absorb the breath of the moonflower grass, and once the hatching was completed, the energy of the moonflower grass was exhausted, and it would degenerate into ordinary moonlight grass. Interestingly, however, the Ooze Monsters will collect the hatched eggshells together and stack them at the roots of certain moonshine plants, and after several full moons, there is a high chance that the moonflower grass will appear in the place where the eggshells are stacked.

Another interesting thing is this pig fruit, the ooze monsters are very sensitive to the breath of the pig fruit, and once they find this fruit, they will try to eat it. If the pig poop fruit grows closer to the moonlit swamp, they will knock down the ripe fruit with water arrows, and then use water wave-like magic to push the water back to bring the fruit back.

After a long period of observation by the herb pickers, it was found that the pig fruit seemed to be necessary for the reproduction of the ooze monsters. Once hatched, this peculiar creature leaves its nest location and spreads throughout the swamp, never seeming to return. But once they've eaten their fill, they'll start slowly returning to their nest deep in the swamp to lay eggs.

However, due to the fact that ooze monsters cannot get out of the wet mud, they are not always able to eat the pig fruit. Porcupines are also a very interesting group of creatures, there are many small groups in the porcupine forest, their range of movement will be irregular migration, once the range of activity is determined, they will be concentrated in a fixed place to excrete. Once the location is far from the Moonlight Swamp, the ooze monsters are doomed to not be able to eat the fruit.

Time is limited, and Emma certainly can't go into such detail. He just told Didi:

1. The so-called safe passage is to lie on the body of the soft mud monster, and they will naturally not be attacked by the swamp monster.

2. Pig poop fruits are the favorite food of ooze monsters, and once they have eaten their fill, they will migrate to the depths of the swamp and lay their eggs on the moonflower grass.

3. The ooze monsters spawn for one day, and the next day they will return to the place where they first found the pig fruit.

Didi will be skeptical, but thinking that Emma dares to take risks with the strength of an ordinary person, there should be no risk, and with his own strength, there is no problem, right?
