Chapter 5 Battle against Elite Slime
For more than an hour after that, the Maple Leaf team cleaned up all the ordinary slimes that could be seen near the cracks, and obtained a total of 11 light yellow gels.
I also gradually figured out the rules.
There can be up to three wasps at the same time. When approaching, the wasps will attack the frontmost enemy first.
If someone attacks the slime from a distance, the wasp will attack that person first.
Although everyone is very careful, they can still get stung by wasps if they are not careful.
The only one who survived was Xu Lulu.
As a junior priest, he doesn't have any attack methods yet, and all he has to do is release healing spells or small self-healing spells.
Of course, she knows more than just magic, there are also lighting spells, flares, cleaning spells, small purification spells, primary blessings and so on.
As for the larger slime, a few people did not choose to attack rashly for the time being.
I'm already a little tired from walking this morning.
It can be said that killing ordinary slimes is effortless, but it requires a high level of mental tension.
Looking at the sun in the sky, it's almost noon. Although the sunshine here is not harsh, you still have to rest when you need it.
Several people returned to the entrance of the fissure, sat cross-legged on the flat grass, took out various dried meats and bread from the backpacks behind them, and made do with a meal.
Since there is not even a tree in this space, it is naturally impossible to make a fire for cooking.
There is no need to leave the rift. It takes more than half an hour to walk out, and it takes an hour to go back and forth.
"Speaking of which, do you feel that you have become a little stronger?"
Li Qiang asked while chewing the meat.
Zhou Tianyou closed his eyes and felt it carefully:
"Indeed, I have become a little bit stronger..."
Fatty and Xu Lulu quickly closed their eyes and felt it. For a moment, Fatty nodded, while Xu Lulu was a little disappointed.
Everyone saw Xu Lulu's disappointed expression and immediately understood.
Zhou Tianyou said with a smile:
"Lulu, don't worry, rest for a while, and I'll kill you in a while."
As he spoke, he took out a hammer weighing more than ten kilograms from the backpack behind him and handed it to Xu Lulu.
Facing the hammer that was suddenly handed to her, Xu Lulu took it almost subconsciously.
Then I felt my hand heavy, and the hammer almost hit the ground.
Xu Lulu's blank expression seemed to say: "Why did you give me this?"
"Well, don't you have no attack methods? Use this, it will be absolutely powerful!"
While explaining, Zhou Tianyou did not forget to give Xu Lulu a thumbs up.
"No, I want to ask you, a swordsman, why is there a mace in his backpack?"
Xu Lulu waved the hammer in her hand with some difficulty and asked curiously.
Zhou Tianyou was also confused, yes, I am a swordsman, why do I have a mace in my backpack?
Zhou Tianyou frowned and thought, this hammer seemed to be the second one that the merchant said he bought at half price when he bought the dagger a month ago.
Because the weapons merchant girl was so cute, she was temporarily distracted. When she came back to her senses, she had a short sword and a hammer in her hand...
"I'm a swordsman, so why should I carry a hammer with me?" Zhou Tianyou explained forcefully.
"Isn't it strange?" Xu Lulu asked.
"It's not surprising." Zhou Tianyou replied decisively.
Xu Lulu suddenly understood: "That's it! Real adventurers are indeed different from those in the story!"
The fat man beside him blushed so hard that Xu Lulu looked over curiously.
"I remembered something happy..." Fatty explained quickly.
"What happy thing?" Xu Lulu became excited!
The fat man racked his brains: "My cat is going to give birth."
"Congratulations then." Xu Lulu said sincerely.
"..." Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xu Lulu looked puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?..."
"..."
Seeing that the topic was changed, Zhou Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief.
The four of them rested on the spot for more than half an hour and got ready to go again.
Looking around, I don't know when a lot of strange slimes that can release wasps appeared again.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. The four of them discussed it and decided to explore further afield in the afternoon.
Try the bigger slime by the way.
As usual, we should clear out the small slimes first.
After the morning battle, the team has formulated a very practical combat plan.
Li Qiang attacked from a distance, Zhou Tianyou dealt with the flying wasps, Li Zhuang used a shield to hit the slime that was hit by the attack, and Xu Lulu released her self-healing technique at any time.
Normally, after a combo of punches, there is no chance of a slime surviving.
The plan for the afternoon battle still needs to be modified.
After all, Xu Lulu, who had turned into a melee priest with a mace, needed to be taken care of.
"Skinny man, after a while you attack four times and put the slime over. Fatty blocks it and Lulu hits it from the side."
Zhou Tianyou rearranged the battle plan for the three of them.
"no problem."
Several people nodded.
"Then let's start with that."
Zhou Tianyou pointed at a small slime jumping around fifty meters away.
Without saying a word, Li Qiang raised his hand and fired an arrow, accurately hitting its forehead.
At this time, three small black dots also quickly enlarged in everyone's sight, and they were naturally wasps.
Zhou Tianyou rushed forward two steps quickly, taking care of two of them first, then turned around and stabbed the last one past him, flying towards Li Qiang.
The slime was not slow either. It jumped within ten meters of a few people in a few seconds. At this time, it had four arrows inserted into its body. After a short period of energy accumulation, it crashed into Li Qiang.
Lizhuang, who was always adjusting his position, immediately stood in front of the slime, and at the same time attracted the hatred of the slime.
Zhou Tianyou and Li Qiang focused on solving the reappearance of the wasps.
"Lulu, smash it!"
I didn’t forget to remind Xu Lulu who was a little overwhelmed.
Xu Lulu hurriedly walked around Li Zhuang, raised the hammer above her head with some difficulty, and smashed it down with her eyes closed.
"Push!"
The hammer struck deeply into the grass, less than two centimeters away from the fat man's toes...
It didn't touch the edge at all, and the newly generated wasp still bypassed Xu Lulu and attacked Li Zhuang...
"..."
The fat man silently retracted his feet exposed outside the shield, and even felt a dull pain:
"What about that, Lulu, just aim and hit."
Xu Lulu opened her eyes awkwardly:
"Sorry, it's my first time and I have no experience...haha..."
As he spoke, he raised the hammer in his hand again and let out a scream. This time he finally hit the slime's round body accurately.
The slime was also killed on the spot by this shout, and even splashed mucus on Xu Lulu's face.
Smelling the unknown fragrance coming from her face, Xu Lulu accidentally stuck out her little tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes lit up:
"So sweet!"
Then he licked the mucus on his hand under the astonished eyes of several people.
“On par with Xicheng’s high-end desserts!”
Xu Lulu said excitedly.
Several people were a little puzzled.
But knowing that Xu Lulu had no need to lie to herself, they all stretched out their fingers, dipped a little on the shield and put it in their mouths.
Suddenly I felt like I missed out on [-] million.
I quickly looked around and found that the slimes I killed in the morning had slowly melted into the ground. Most of them were only fist-sized pieces, and some had completely disappeared...
"Blood loss!"
Zhou Tianyou wailed.
But he still said to Xu Lulu very excitedly:
“I’ll treat you to a big dinner this time!”
After a short rest, several people focused their attention on the large slime that had appeared thirty meters away.
But this time everyone adjusted back to the previous battle plan, and Xu Lulu once again took out the exquisite staff inserted on the side of the backpack.
It was Li Qiang who still took the lead. After a moment of accumulating strength, he hit the slime in the head with an arrow.
The entire slime suddenly trembled like jelly, and the arrow pierced deeply into its body...
The large slime that was attacked changed from jumping aimlessly to rushing towards everyone, much faster than ordinary people running at full speed!
Looking at the slime charging at them with great force, they felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Xu Lulu was even scared to the point of screaming.
Li Qiang immediately shot another arrow. When he wanted to aim for the third arrow, it was already too late. The slime started to accumulate power at a position of fifteen meters, and rushed towards Li Qiang faster than he was charging!
Immediately, the fat man lowered his horse stance and took a defensive posture.
"Oh!"
Li Zhuang felt a huge force coming from the shield, and he moved half a step back. His vision went dark and he couldn't see anything.
Before he could exclaim, the sound of mucus breaking through the air again reached his ears, causing him to use shield attack almost subconsciously.
But the strange thing is that under the sure blow, the slime that was still in the air twisted into a weird shape and escaped intact!
Then, the slime's attack accurately bypassed the shield and hit Li Zhuang hard.
The fat man, whose eyes had just regained vision, entered the blinding state again, and took several steps back before he stabilized his body.
Several people were immediately in a panic, and this slime's weird attack method caught people off guard.
Fortunately, their rich combat experience brought them back to their senses immediately.
"Lulu, step back and pay attention to treatment!"
The only thing the priest can do now is to stay away from the battlefield and pay attention to healing his teammates.
Zhou Tianyou knew very well that letting Xu Lulu stand in the team was not a good choice.
The attacks caused by the slime before were obviously at the level of a junior adventurer, and even average among junior adventurers. With Lulu's small body, she might be seriously injured in one go!
Xu Lulu retreated while releasing the primary blessing technique on several people, which could provide a small amount of defense and physical recovery.
Li Qiang and Zhou Tianyou attacked from a distance and seized the opportunity to move around.
Li Zhuang said quickly:
"Try not to be attacked by it. If it touches you, you will be blinded!"
With that said, he activated his charge skill and rushed towards the giant slime five meters away again.
then.
Slime strangely dodged Fatty's attack again, and while passing by, he hit Li Zhuang's backpack hard on his back.
Although the fat man who had just regained his sight was not injured, he fell into blindness again and gnawed on the grass.
Li Qiang, who was retreating and fighting at the same time, hit an arrow and successfully attracted the hatred. Zhou Tianyou took advantage of the gap when the slime jumped towards Li Qiang and stabbed him hard.
Standing up from the ground in embarrassment, Li Zhuang made two noises and picked up his shield again. He still didn't believe that he couldn't fight anymore, so he yelled:
"charge!"
He quickly approached with the shield on his shoulder, and when he was about to hit the slime, it miraculously dodged Li Zhuang's attack again and again!
He also did not forget to use a backhand to attack the fat man's back for the second time.
...
After several rounds of attacks, the three members of the team gradually figured out the rules of its attack.
Although it is very difficult to deal with, it is not difficult for intermediate adventurers to deal with, but for junior adventurers like Xu Lulu, it is a disaster.
Zhou Tianyou was also hit by a slime once in the middle, but he was well prepared and it only caused a little bruise. He recovered quickly under Xu Lulu's treatment.
Li Zhuang still couldn't hit this large slime. Several people tried hard but couldn't figure out what the principle was...
But Li Zhuang also has his own way of fighting, just standing and getting beaten.
Also, this slime is incredibly resistant to beatings, and can dodge a few attacks from time to time.
It has been attacking continuously for two minutes, and it looks the same as before. Well, assuming you ignore the dozen or so arrows on its body.
After being besieged by several people, it took more than six minutes to finally defeat it completely. Everyone felt very tired when they saw the slime exploding all over the place.
I was complaining like crazy in my heart, what the hell is this?
However, due to the previous situation where the slime dropped strange gel, several people once again gathered in front of this pool of strange mucus.
Zhou Tianyou was still tasked with rummaging, stirring the mucus with his dagger, and then picked out a strange gold coin.
"Did you find a treasure?"
Zhou Tianyou said in surprise: "Look at it quickly!"
As he spoke, he placed the gold coin on his palm and showed it to everyone.
Everyone watching was amazed. After all, this was the first time they had seen such a beautifully crafted gold coin.
Carved on the front is a giant dragon sitting on a huge throne, surrounded by complex and beautiful mysterious patterns.
On the back was a strange character that they had never seen before - "一". It was somewhat similar to the characters of the Yanling Empire, but they didn't recognize it.
The overall look is like the gold coin of the goblins in Kakalongqi, but the workmanship and style are several times better than that gold coin. It is simply a work of art.
If the guild recycles it, it will definitely give a very high price.
As for the delicious slime that I thought of before, it was thrown into the sky by everyone. What is more valuable than gold coins?
Although gold coins are not part of the mainstream currency now, they are still extremely valuable.
As for why they are not curious about the source of the gold coins in the slime.
Everyone can only say that they are definitely curious. Anyone who sees a beautiful gold coin falling from a living creature will be curious.
But what’s the use of curiosity? Can curiosity make money?
As a mature adventurer, you must learn to control your curiosity...
Zhou Tianyou waved his hand and held a few sword flowers and said excitedly:
"Then we will focus on collecting gold coins."
As for the delicious slime condensation, it has long been thrown thousands of miles away.
