Chapter 104 Cunning

Crown turned around and saw Hans holding up his full medicine basket. He smiled knowingly: "So much harvest?! It seems that the gold shield in my hand is not enough for you to earn."

"It's just to make a living, but now I have no place to spend the gold shields I earn."

"There will be a chance for you to spend money and enjoy it," Crown turned around and said to Del and the others, "Go and do your work."

"My lord, I'll take my leave."

Baru patted Hans on the shoulder and said, "Old buddy, when you become rich, please invite me to the Nightingale Tavern in Peru to have some fun."

"No problem," Old Hans agreed readily.

Del and the other turned to leave. Clown reached into the medicine basket and rummaged around. He said, "These things are worth at least seven or eight gold shields. I've only been spending money lately and don't have any extra money. Come with me to the priest and I'll lend you some."

"Your Excellency is short of money, you can wait a little longer, I will give you credit."

"No need. We agreed to pay cash on delivery. I still have some credibility."

Crown brought the old man who collected herbs to Nick's room.

"Boom, boom!"

He knocked on the door and shouted, "Father, I need to borrow some money from you to make ends meet."

"Come in."

Crown opened the door and led Hans into the house.

"Bang", the door was slammed shut.

Hans turned around and saw the priest wearing armor and holding a flail standing behind the door. His eyes narrowed instantly.

Klauen turned around and took the medicine basket and said, "Wait a moment, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Sir, no need. Do you want to discuss something? I'll leave first." Hans stretched out his hand to open the door, but the priest held the handle.

Crown put the medicine basket far away, then he walked back, took out a golden talisman, and stuck it on Hans' face. The golden talisman soon emitted a faint golden light.

"Sir, what do you want to do? If you don't have money, I can give it to you on credit."

After a while, Nick looked at Hans, who looked normal, and said, "Your talisman looks useless. I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man like a wax figure placed in a flame, his flesh and blood melted, leaving only a snow-white skeleton.

The melted flesh and blood turned into a ball of translucent mud with a hint of green. The golden talisman was also sucked into it. Its body was like boiling water, with bloody bubbles constantly emitting from it.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling" a crisp bell sounded from outside.

"It looks like the acidic slime monster found in heavily polluted areas, but the slime monster can only swallow its prey and melt it into its body. It can change into a non-human form and can copy human soul fluctuations. What the hell is this thing?" Nick dodged to the side with a look of surprise on his face.

At this moment, the skeleton fell over and the skull rolled under the table next to it.

Clown was also confused. He thought that this time it would be like hunting the sheep-headed monster at the ranch, and that he would need to fight a big battle. But he just sighed, and his eyes became even colder.

Seeing the old man turning into a puddle of mud in front of him, he felt quite angry.

The death of a stranger would hardly move him, but the two had been dealing with each other for more than two months and were familiar with each other. The other party might have been tricked while picking herbs, which made him even more angry.

At this time, the skeleton was also swallowed by the monster. Its body expanded violently like a blown-up balloon, from the size of a basket to half the size of a car, completely blocking the door.

It suddenly stood up, became the size of a bed sheet and lunged forward.

Klauen drew his weapon, and a ball of orange-red flame shone in the glass lamp holder in the room. The sharp sword drew a series of "crosses" in the air, cutting the monster into pieces.

The monster made a sizzling sound, a fishy smell spread in the well-sealed space, and gray smoke rose.

Its broken body fell to the ground and then quickly closed up, gathering into a ball and retreating to the door, but its size had shrunk.

The sharp special effect doesn't seem to be working, Crown thought.

"Solve it quickly." Nick's flail also flashed red light, "Attack with elemental skills."

The flail struck the monster's body and sank completely into it, and by the time the priest had pulled the weapon out, the monster had shrunk in size again.

Crown held his breath and released the Heart Cleansing Spell.

Then he chopped the weapon in his hand quickly, and the gray smoke in the room became more and more.

Under the fierce blows of the two people, the volume of the slime shrank rapidly and stopped moving.

Nick took out a bottle of holy water and poured it on the monster's body. The monster was quickly corroded as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid.

At the same time, a hole the size of a fist appeared under the door.

"Fuck, I've been fooled." Nick cursed, immediately opened the door and rushed out.

Crown did not follow. He pulled the monster out of the room and continued pouring holy water upwards.

The monster was intelligent to a certain extent, and knew how to pretend to be strong while sneaking through the city in secret. He felt that he would only feel at ease if he could completely melt the monster with holy water.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He was generous with the holy water, pouring it up one drop after another.

Not long after, when the monster was reduced to the size of a fist, it suddenly bounced up and rushed towards Crown's face.

There really was a backup plan. As the thought flashed through Clown's mind, he dodged to the side to avoid the monster's flight path.

He had been concentrating all the time, how could he be attacked by surprise! He brandished the sword in his hand, but he had not released the source of life. He wanted to see what the monster's resistance to physical damage was.

This ball of mud was like the dough in the hands of a noodle chef. It was cut into twelve pieces in the air and fell to the ground with a "plop, plop" sound.

When attacking, Crown controlled his strength, and the slices fell not far apart.

I don't know how these slices found each other, but they quickly came back together.

Crown narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.

The slime monsters began to merge, but the speed was slow. It took seven or eight seconds for them to merge together again, and their volume did not seem to have decreased.

The reassembled monster moved instantly like fluid, at a speed comparable to that of an adult walking quickly.

Physical damage has some effect, but it's not a big one, and this kind of monster can only be quickly eliminated with elemental damage.

After Crown came to the conclusion, he raised the sword and injected the boiling source of life into it.

At this time, Nick came back, and when he saw the moving mud on the ground, his face suddenly became even gloomier.

He raised the flail and smashed the slime monster into the ground before Crown's attack could arrive.

When the priest raised the flail again, a gray charred mass was left in the pit.

The ringing sound disappeared and the air became quiet.

Clown put down his raised hand and laughed, "It almost escaped. Could it have missed something?"

Nick shook his head in certainty: "When I came out, the monster hadn't run out of the training ground yet, and there was no one nearby, so it couldn't have found someone to possess. Now that the sound of the Demonic Bell has disappeared, it should have been completely destroyed."

"To be on the safe side, let's give everyone some holy water."

The priest nodded: "I will inform them."
