Chapter 20: Sludge monster

Views:

These 21 [Pop Bird Eggs] are a major harvest.

It’s simply more fun than getting equipment!

Food can fill your stomach, is easy to carry, and protects your life. Although it is a non-combat item, the effect is quite good and exciting!

Zhang Mu kept 10 eggs and threw the remaining 11 into the fire to roast them. All of them turned into baked eggs that increased their health. Several wounded people ate them and their injuries recovered quickly. In the end, 4 baked eggs were left.

The fat man didn't understand this, so he asked: "Boss, why did you leave 10 raw eggs? They have no effect. I think they can be roasted!"

Zhang Mu shook his head and explained: "Pop bird eggs are FF grade ingredients, but baked eggs are two grades lower, just F grade food. I think if we have better cooking conditions, we will definitely be able to produce better quality food." High-quality food. Save some of the ingredients first and use them later when you have a chance."

Sun Bing said: "The captain is right, baked eggs are too low-grade. I used to be a chef. If I have a pot or other ingredients to assist me, I guarantee that I can cook several delicious dishes!"

The fat man suddenly said: "Oh, I understand."

Zhang Mu continued: "There is another important reason. I tried to put the ingredients into the player's backpack, and found that the ingredients can be stacked and stored, with a maximum of 10 overlaps. After being processed into food, each portion occupies one backpack slot."

Bird eggs are about the size of a fist and are very convenient to carry around. They are also fragile and fragile. If left for a long time, they will deteriorate and lose their effectiveness. Only by storing it in the player's backpack can it be guaranteed not to be damaged or deteriorate.

The player's initial backpack only has five spaces.

Zhang Mu's backpack contains a summoning skill book, a post, and a map. The extra two spaces need to be reserved for storing and storing weapons, and there is no room for anything. If all the eggs are roasted, the backpacks of the five people will be filled up. Where will the trophies obtained from fighting monsters be placed

"Put these ten raw eggs into Fatty's backpack." Zhang Mu gave four baked eggs to Zhou Ling and Leng Yun respectively, "Put two of them away each of you."

The fat man was very puzzled: "Why are you giving me raw eggs?"

Zhang Mu glanced at him and said bluntly: "I wouldn't trust you if I put the baked egg on you."

"Damn it, you don't need to be so direct, right? You still don't trust me as a person?" The fat man said solemnly: "The fat man has a nickname called Honest and Reliable Little Man. You can save it with confidence. I swear I will Protect it with your life!"

Several people ignored the fat man.

Zhang Mu stood up and observed. The five of them were not far from the shore. There were several smaller reed areas nearby that they could search when leaving. After all, bird eggs are very useful, so it is always beneficial to find more and carry some with you.

The five people gathered a large pile of reeds. Although all the crocodile skin ropes sank into the mud, they had the spare ropes they prepared when entering the forest, which was more than enough to make a large raft. Zhang Mu fished out the bamboo poles and used them as oars. The team set out again.

The five members of the team rode a large reed raft together, carefully holding on to the bamboo poles, and moved forward slowly on the water. I entered three reed bushes one after another, spent a lot of time searching, and got 16 [Pop Bird Eggs].

It's too early to get up late, and the forest at night is too dangerous. You must find a safe enough place to spend the night before dark, otherwise you won't be able to guarantee a perfect night, and there will be no time to stay in the wetland.

Zhang Mu held the raft and floated to the shore. The terrain here became higher and higher, and the water gradually dried up. There was a distance of more than two to three hundred meters in front of him, which was all dark swamp mud, with almost no water.

"There is no water." Leng Yun inserted a bamboo pole into the mud, and most of it was submerged. She frowned and said, "It's about two meters. It's too deep. How are we going to get over?"

Zhang Mu thought for a moment, then tested the hardness of the mud, nodded and said, "There is still a way. The mud has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the surface is relatively hard. Although it cannot withstand the pressure of walking directly on it. But it is made of reeds. Put a flat plate on the shoe to increase the bearing area so that it will not sink easily when walking in the mud."

Several people gathered reeds and tied them with ropes to make a board as long as a sled and as wide as a washboard. They cut bamboo poles and connected the reeds to make fans. One in each hand, like a paddle inserted into the mud to create propulsion, which can be used to move forward. With timely assistance, "It's okay." Zhang Mu tried: "Let's go."

It's not a problem for the others, except for the fat man. He weighs 250 pounds, which is too heavy. Although a pair of extremely huge tools were made for him, it was still difficult to move. Zhang Mu and Sun Bing supported him on the left and right to share the pressure, step by step, carefully.

This method really works. As long as you walk slower and don't use too much force, it's still quite stable.

The shore is already in sight.

Halfway through, something unexpected happened.

The swamp in front and around was suddenly opened up, and a large amount of bubbles and mud poured out from it. Then more than ten humanoid monsters were seen slowly standing up from the swamp. The monster is similar in size to humans, with a head and a body, and complete limbs, but it has no facial features, no fingers and toes. His whole body was covered with pulpy mud and rotten roots of aquatic plants. He looked like a man who had climbed out of a manure pit after being soaked in it for three days and nights.

"Holy shit!" The fat man yelled, "Why do we always see bad luck happening!"

[Sludge Monster] (common monster), level 8, life 70, magic 50, attributes? ? ? ,Skill? ?

Although it is an ordinary monster, its level is not low. It is unknown how strong or weak it is. If fighting on land is okay, in this difficult swamp environment, the difficulty of fighting is increased countless times.

Chen Ling said nervously: "Captain, they seem to be coming, what should I do?"

Zhang Mu pulled him: "What can we do? Let's go!"

The sludge monster seemed to be very slow to react. After coming out of the swamp, it wandered around in place for several times. It took more than ten seconds to finally lock on to the positions of several people, and then slowly gathered around. Although the movement speed was very slow, it was enough to surround the five people before they landed.

Leng Yun raised the fish bone staff and gathered the magic she had finally recovered. She shot an ice arrow at a mud monster in front of her, causing an astonishing 80 points of damage and killing it on the spot. But it was of little help to get out of the predicament. Leng Yun had no magic power, not to mention the elementalist's skill cooldown was too long.

"Quick, go faster!"

Zhang Mu and Sun Bing helped the fat man move forward, and they were less than a hundred meters away from the other shore.

A sludge monster not far away suddenly stopped and slowly raised its two arms. The green liquid condensed in the arms and threw it at the five people. Facing the flying green ball, Zhang Mu immediately stepped aside. The green ball passed by and fell into the swamp. Zhang Mu didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief. When he picked up the bamboo paddle and took a look, he couldn't help but frown. The green ball wiped off the bamboo, leaving some liquid on it. As a result, the bamboo suddenly broke in the middle due to the strong corrosive force. .

Zhang Mu threw away the scrapped bamboo paddle: "Everyone, be careful. This is the 'acid bomb' magic. It can corrode equipment and its damage capability is not weak. Don't get hit."

Encountering a sludge monster in a swamp is unlucky enough. What's even more difficult is that the sludge monster is a monster with magical attack capabilities. Although it only has one spell, the damage ability of [Acid Bullet] is also very average. It can have an amazing corrosive effect, which can weaken the target's defense, damage and corrode equipment, and reduce its durability and attributes.

There are more and more sludge monsters, and acid bullets are coming one after another. Fortunately, the sludge monsters are not in high spirits, so their aim is very inaccurate. When the acid bullets are fired, less than half of them miss, and most of the rest can be avoided.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly an acid bomb came towards me.

Sun Bing raised his shield, and there was a soft popping sound. The acid bullets stuck to it like glue. He saw a corroding sound of "chichi" on the shield. The durability suddenly dropped by 4 points, and the defense also weakened by a few points. He couldn't help but feel I felt distressed. This is a guy who eats. A knight can be without weapons, but he cannot be without a shield.

Leng Yun said anxiously: "The number is increasing."

Zhang Mu urged: "Speed up, speed up!"

Several people saw more and more sludge monsters standing up in the distance, and they would be surrounded by the sludge monsters in a short time. At that time, the overwhelming acid bombs were attacking, and it was estimated that even the bones were corroded.

There is only less than forty or fifty meters away!

At this time, an acid bomb hit the fat man's thigh, and his pants were corroded, and large pieces of flesh rotted away instantly. White smoke came out. The fat man covered his thigh and screamed: "Fuck, legs! I legs!"

Zhang Mu took the bamboo pole and stuck it in the mud: "It's not that deep here, don't worry about it, just rush ashore!"

Everyone jumped into the swamp, as if swimming in mud, and moved towards the shore in the smelly mud. The mud here is not too deep, only about one meter. It is not that difficult for a few people to walk through it with their current physiques.

The number of sludge monsters is increasing, the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the acid bomb attacks are becoming more and more intensive.

Zhang Mu was also hit by an acid bomb in his back. The feeling of burning heat and corroded flesh was pulling on every nerve, and the pain caused was simply beyond imagination. Zhang Mu didn't know what was going on with his back, he was afraid that the skin was rotten.

"Oh, I can't stand it anymore!"

The fat man was faced with an acid bomb in front of his chest. He couldn't help but roar. He suddenly concentrated his strength and sprayed out red energy. His huge body rushed forward like a bulldozer, carving a deep ravine in the mud, and finally hit the person who had just attacked. The powerful impact of his mud monster smashed most of the mud monster into pieces, and he raised his sword to cut off the mud monster at the waist.

Zhang Mu approached the shore, stepped on the solid ground with his feet, immediately took out his two swords, started speed skating and rushed over. The sword light flashed and several mud monsters were chopped into pieces.

"Hurry up!"

The two of them opened the way and cleared away the mud monsters in front of them. The other three people landed one after another and finally got out of the predicament.

Hundreds of sludge monsters landed one after another, but their speed was too slow to keep up with the five people.

Fatty Zhang Mu continued to clear the way. Apart from throwing acid bombs, the sludge monsters didn't have much ability, and their melee combat capabilities were even worse. Although they had high blood volume, the two of them easily defeated more than ten of them without fighting.

The fat man wielded his big sword and split a mud monster in half from head to toe. It turned into a puddle of mud and fell to the ground. Suddenly something exploded. He looked carefully and was surprised. It was a skill book!

These mobs are so stingy that they can't even drop gold coins, but they can actually explode skill books

The fat man was overjoyed, temporarily forgetting the pain, and quickly put away the skill book.
