Zhou Qingfeng took some dragon's saliva with him and handed it to the dwarf witch doctor. Afterwards, Old Borg took a day to prepare a small bottle of "paralysis poison" according to the correct formula and technology.
'Shadow' evaluates the dwarf witch doctor with inferior techniques, impure medicinal materials, and lack of spirituality. It is impossible to be called a true alchemist. As for the refined potion, the quality is extremely poor, the efficacy is close to zero, and it can only be drunk as a mouthwash for the ogre.
But when the potion was formulated, the old dwarf himself screamed with excitement. He said that he played extremely perfectly this time, with an unprecedented'paralysis poison'. The effect of this medicine is beyond imagination, and the dragon will fall down and become unable to move after drinking it.
In order to express his gratitude, the old dwarf provided Zhou Qingfeng and Todd with shelter and living supplies, including food, drink, and sleep. Just...
This voodoo swamp is too poor. Even as a guest of honor, Zhou Qingfeng's dinner turned out to be a piece of stinky salted fish—just such a hard-to-swallow thing, the servant who brought it up was still drooling.
"Where am I taking refuge? I am obviously self-abusing."
Zhou Qingfeng can carry a tenth of his body weight from reality to another world every day. But Mawang Village is also a poor place, where money can't buy anything.
In just over half a month, almost half of the chickens and ducks in Mawang Village were eaten by Zhou Qingfeng, and even the crowing rooster was about to be brutally killed. The sister-in-law must go to the neighboring village to buy meat and eggs and other ingredients, otherwise there will be not enough for him.
The smelly salted fish was pushed to Todd, but the orc was not taboo, so he caught it and stuffed it into his mouth. Zhou Qingfeng came out of the house, intending to walk around the settlement, and stroll around casually
The area of the voodoo swamp is large, but the settlements next to the swamp are not. Except for the old Borg’s witch doctor’s shack, there is only one warehouse that provides commercial services.
The warehouse has a small facade, and there are two strong men guarding the door. Due to the spread of rumors, they saw Zhou Qingfeng with the least respect and invited him to visit the warehouse.
Most of the production of voodoo swamp is related to the swamp, and more than half of the supply of settlements depends on this warehouse. The owner of the warehouse is a middle-aged man with a skewered deer eye and a thin body, as if it would be blown away by a gust of wind.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng coming in, this wretched fellow trot forward and greeted flatteringly: "Your Excellency Hugo, it's an honor to see you. My name is Rubio, what do I need to do for you?"
Zhou Qingfeng wanted a portable crossbow, also known as a crossbow. Compared to light bows and arrows, crossbows are much bulkier. But the monsters in the Black Forest are thick-skinned, and they can't be shot at all if their power is small.
People in the Black Forest bring crossbows to deal with unexpected events. Facing the archer when the goblin was in ambush, Zhou Qingfeng also felt that he needed long-range shooting ability. Otherwise suppressed by a few bows, he can only run around.
The crossbow arrow has no tail feathers, and the effective range is only about 30 to 40 meters. The light crossbow is wound with a lever. Its characteristic is that the power is guaranteed when the weight and rate of fire are not too bad, the rate of fire is five rounds per minute, and it can shoot through ordinary leather armor.
Although the light crossbow is not as powerful as the heavier and more powerful crossbow, if it is matched with a poison, it is enough to hit the exposed part and break the skin slightly. The key is how effective the selected poison is
Zhou Qingfeng provided genuine ambergris to the dwarf witch doctor, and'Shadow' also improved the other party's formula and technology. The paralysis potion produced was tested on two wild wolves-muscles were paralyzed within one minute, and they died in five minutes.
This poisonous effect is very terrible.
Even Todd, who was highly resistant to poison, was taken aback. He bluntly said that with his size, he would not be able to hold up for a few hours without the antidote to encounter such a harsh poison.
After buying a light crossbow and two pots of crossbow arrows, Zhou Qingfeng continued to look at the goods in the warehouse. He found a lot of jerky, probably little guys like rabbits and pheasants, and there were quite a lot of them.
Considering that foreign objects can freely travel through the gate of time and space, Zhou Qingfeng can use the real world to store some food. He decided to buy all the jerky so that he could bring it back for consumption every day, so he didn't need to eat stinky salted fish.
But when he was about to pay, Zhou Qingfeng found that his continuous consumption would sooner or later lead to a financial crisis. Light crossbow and jerky were not cheap, and he bought more, the money bag was instantly reduced by one-third.
"Do you have any profitable jobs?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Make money?" The black-hearted profiteer in the warehouse immediately smiled. He monopolized the commerce of the settlement, and sold goods at twice the price of other places, and the profits were naturally huge. And now when Zhou Qingfeng asked about'work', he seemed to see free thugs.
"Recently, a few terrible silt monsters came from the swamp near the settlement. They often lurked in the mud on the edge of the swamp to launch sneak attacks. My slaves went to the swamp to catch specialties. They were attacked by monsters one after another. Several people have already died.
I have always wanted to get rid of these monsters, but they are concealed and difficult to spot; secondly, the skin is very slippery, and ordinary attacks are basically ineffective. If Your Excellency Hugo can eradicate them, I am willing to pay a fee. "
"how much is it?"
"For every sludge monster killed, I pay five gold coins."
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know that the compensation was unreasonable, so he just nodded and left the warehouse. When he found Todd and asked, the orc almost had to hack Rubio with an axe, "We need to kill the silt monster for only five gold coins? Let the profiteer go by himself."
The old dwarf also came to Zhou Qingfeng, and frowned upon hearing that, "Five gold coins per head must be too low. But if the paralytic poison can be effective on the silt monster, maybe we can try.
The silt monster is terrible. Especially in the swamp, it can suddenly jump a few meters away after finding the target, and rush back into the swamp within a few breaths after biting the prey. They not only affected Rubio's business, but also my business. "
Old Borg was willing to add hardware coins to each head, which made Todd feel more reasonable and could give it a try. But is the newly configured paralysis potion effective against the silt monsters
Zhou Qingfeng can only ask'Shadow', "Can the silt monster be restrained by the paralytic poison we deploy?"
"Sludge monster?"'Shadow' snorted, "I haven't heard the name of this reptile for a long time. Although your mouthwash is not effective, it is still okay to deal with reptiles.
But you'd better not get too close to that kind of crawler. Mud monsters are ferocious, agile, and fast. Your current strength is not very good. "
After hearing these words, Zhou Qingfeng felt confident. He said to the old dwarf: "We have done this job. But the silt is in the swamp? Should I get some bait?"
"Bait?" The old dwarf laughed, "We have decoys in our settlements." After speaking, he shouted and asked the servants to get a "bait". Soon a man with a withered face walked outside the shack, crouched and knelt on the ground.
Use people as bait
Zhou Qingfeng was surprised and hard to speak, but Todd looked as usual. The old dwarf said happily: "The people who come to the Voodoo Swamp don't live long. You can buy their lives by just giving money. I usually do this when refining medicines."
Sure enough, he is a believer of the "Goddess of Poison and Disease", and doesn't care about human life.
Zhou Qingfeng sighed slightly in his heart, there was a weird guy in his mind, and there weren't any good people around him, and even his opponents were a group of goblins—what kind of black forest was there, it was clearly the Valley of the Evil.
The withered man seemed to have some serious illness, and he didn't have the energy to speak. Zhou Qingfeng bought the other's life with a gold coin and paid it to the'bait' family after the incident.
Being able to exchange his life for a gold coin, the'bait' thanked Dade's repeated thanks, and expressed his willingness to draw out the silt monsters that endanger the voodoo swamp, so that the'Master Hugo' can hunt them.
Outside the old dwarf’s shack, the people in the settlement soon knew that the'Dragon Veil Warlock' who came today was going to hunt the silt monster. They watched the withered man slowly walk towards the swamp, and behind him was Zhou Qingfeng carrying a light crossbow.
The settlement was built near the voodoo swamp. Less than a hundred meters away from the settlement is a dangerous place with white mist. People built more than a dozen trestle bridges on the edge of the swamp, and they would take special floating boats to the depths of the swamp to obtain local products.
The pontoon is connected to the shore trestle with ropes, and when necessary, you can pull yourself back manually. Because of the dangers in the swamp, there is no way to rescue them in danger. So every trip is tantamount to gambling, and many people will never come back once they go out.
Todd followed Zhou Qingfeng with his big axe. He refused to use poison in order to show his bravery. At this moment, listening to the irritability behind him, he turned his head and stared, preventing the crowd watching from following.
But the people in the settlement refused to disperse, following a distance of more than ten meters, chattering non-stop. The residents here suffer from the marshes and depend on the marshes for their livelihoods. They couldn't survive in other places, so they all went to this horrible place to die.
The people in the settlement are not afraid of goblins, anyway they are enslaved wherever they go. But the recent silt monsters have seriously affected their livelihoods. If they can't enter the swamp to work, they can only starve to death.
The old dwarf followed Todd with a staff, and someone knew and asked from a distance, "Mr. Borg, what are you going to do?"
"Stay away, we are going to hunt the silt monster." The old dwarf waved his staff, but didn't force it to drive it away. He did this to stimulate people's interest even more. Almost half of the settlements came out to see how Zhou Qingfeng killed monsters
When the withered man of the bait slowly walked to the trestle by the marsh, he jumped on a wooden boat with a round bottom. He turned his head and smiled bitterly at Zhou Qingfeng, grabbing the towing rope of the boat and gradually leaving the shore.
According to the description of the old dwarf, the silt monster only attacked people deep into the swamp in the past. But now they have become more and more courageous, and they have begun to approach the settlements on the shore of the swamp, and the people who bully the settlements have nothing to do with them.
Zhou Qingfeng put the string on the Qing crossbow, and the crossbow arrow stuck into the receiver. He has tested more than a dozen shots before. The material of this weapon is very good, and the accuracy is quite high within 20 meters. Now let's see how effective the paralytic poison on the arrow is.
Todd stood beside Zhou Qingfeng holding the axe to protect the latter's safety. Standing on the trestle bridge, Zhou Qingfeng stared at the mud-like swamp, catching any movement in front of him.
But after waiting for half an hour, nothing happened except one or two bubbles occasionally in the mud. The onlookers gradually became impatient and yelled and criticized.
When Zhou Qingfeng also felt that waiting for the rabbit is not the way, the "shadow" in his mind sent a warning message, "Boy, pay attention! About thirty feet away from your left, something has penetrated five meters under the mud. Its target is good. Not the bait you let out."
Is there a monster coming
The target is not bait
So who is the goal
Could it be me
