Chapter 68: The Tactical Slime



When the first jumping black shadow appeared, Annuo's entire vision was gradually filled with slimes.

“Chirp!”

Normally, slimes don't like river water, but at this moment they jumped into the river one after another and swam hard towards the adventurers on the other side.

Soon, the entire river surface was covered with a dense layer of slimes, at least hundreds of slimes.

There are more slimes coming from the grassland opposite!

Fortunately, the adventurers encountered more slimes on their way here, so the fear in their hearts did not increase.

"Pay attention to the slime's acid attack. When they come up, clear out some of them first, and then light the straw on fire when their numbers increase!"

During the preparation just now, Annuo asked the adventurers to lay a layer of dry straw along the river bank.

When ignited, it can form a flame barrier.

It was originally used to fight against goblins.

But now the first wave of attack is led by slimes, and there are so many of them, we can only use them to deal with the slimes later.

That's right, when the slimes started attacking, Anno and the others no longer had any hope of survival.

The slime riot indicates that the probability of the goblin army attacking tonight is too high!

After many slimes were drowned, the first batch of slimes finally came ashore.

"Be careful to avoid the acid and clean up some of it quickly!"

An Nuo roared, and Lu Zhishang immediately led a group of people to kill the slime.

After the slimes came ashore, some of them were killed before they started spraying acid, and slime flowed all over the ground.

“Ouch~!”

The level 6 summoned wind wolf roared to the sky and suddenly rushed out.

Where the wind wolf passed, the slime's broken body flew in the air, leaving a cleared path.

However, among the more than thirty adventurers, excluding those with ranged professions, only about twenty were able to launch an attack.

The area that these twenty-odd people can protect is too short.

Even though Annuo and the Wind Wolf were constantly hunting slimes, more and more slimes were coming ashore.

When everyone was surrounded by hundreds of slimes, Annuo immediately ordered the straw to be set on fire.

"boom!"

As the torch was thrown onto the straw, a flame as high as a person suddenly rose up, blocking the subsequent slimes from landing.

Taking advantage of this gap, the adventurers quickly cleared out the slimes around them.

There were so many slimes, and the acid they shot out was intertwined like a rain curtain.

Fortunately, slimes have no intelligence and don’t know how to cooperate in batches.

Otherwise, they could easily overwhelm the adventurers before their magic power ran out.

Even so, more than a dozen people were hit by acid.

Annuo immediately asked these people to go to the rear, where there were water bags prepared in advance.

Rinse the area hit by the acid with water to prevent further injury.

“Boom!”

Just when Anno had just cleared out the last few slimes, a dozen large slimes suddenly fell from the sky and landed neatly in Anno's camp.

These slimes are all over one meter in size. After they landed, they immediately chased after the nearby adventurers.

"What a huge slime!"

It was the first time for some people to see such a big slime. They screamed and dodged the impact of the slime behind them.

Race: Slime

Level: 7

Health: 700/700

Mana: 1000/1000

Skills: [Devouring] [Perception] [High-pressure Acid Spray] [Impact] [Low-level Healing]

Race: Slime

Level: 6

Health: 600/600

Mana: 800/800

Skills: [Devouring] [Perception] [Acid Gun] [Impact] [Low Level Healing]

These big slimes were exactly the large slimes that Annuo had hunted on the grassland before.

Anno now has a summoned large slime of his own.

The [Devouring] skill should be an advanced skill of [Devouring].

Anno encountered this skill when he was fighting a large slime.

A big mouth opened directly from the middle of the body. If Anno hadn't summoned a slime to block in front of him, he would have been swallowed!

[Low-level healing] is exactly the method for large slimes to recover.

Although the effect is not strong, when Anno summoned a large slime and learned about this skill, he always wanted to learn it.

It’s just that large slimes are not common and their souls are not easy to collect.

But now, there are thirteen large slimes in front of us!

Anno looked at the adventurer being chased and couldn't help but draw his dagger and rush over.

"Get out of the way first, I'll deal with it!"

Anno called for a level 6 summoned wind wolf and found a large slime.

"Thank you, President!"

Rajil, who was being chased, got up from the ground, feeling a little scared.

The large slime looked at the man and the beast standing in front of it, shrank its body, and was about to launch acid.

"Although you are all level 6, you are too weak compared to other monsters!"

Anno jumped a few times and easily avoided the acid from the large slime.

The next moment, he and Wind Wolf rushed forward together.

“Puff!”

The large slime had several wounds on both sides of its body from the dagger and wolf claws, and its health points dropped by 200 points.

At the same time, the mucus flowing out of the wound caused the large slime's blood volume to continue to decrease.

However, under the effect of [Low-level Healing], the wound is healing continuously.

“Chirp!”

The injured large slime turned towards Anno and charged forward with all its might.

“Boom!”

The large slime hit nothing and knocked down a section of the earth wall.

"At the same level, fighting against slimes is a lot easier!"

After reaching level 6, Annuo's strength and speed have greatly improved compared to before.

In terms of melee ability alone, he can beat three or four level 5 versions of himself.

Therefore, facing the large slime, Annuo felt very relaxed.

"rub!"

Anno rushed to the side of the large slime again and stabbed continuously with the dagger in his hand.

When the large slime saw Anno approaching, it split its body in the middle and tried to swallow Anno.

Upon seeing this, An Nuo calmly shot a [High-Pressure Acid Explosion] into it!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five consecutive shots of acid not only forced the large slime to close its "mouth" again, but also penetrated its body!

Soon, the large slime's health was reduced to zero under the double attack of Anno and Wind Wolf.

[Get Large Slime Soul (Green) x 1]

The whole process takes less than ten seconds!

Anno has now used nine of his ten summoning slots - 1 level 6 Wind Wolf, 3 level 5 Wind Wolves (one of which went to assist Lu Yan, and the other two were hunting slimes around Anno), 1 large slime (in the summoning space), and 4 level 5 goblins (searching for monster troops on the grassland on the other side of the river).

The battle is rather chaotic right now, and Annuo doesn't plan to summon large slimes to fight in order to avoid accidental injuries.

"It's a good opportunity to collect some souls and learn [Low-level Healing]."

Learning [Low-level Healing] requires Large Slime Souls (Green) x 50. Anno's eyes changed when he looked at the large slimes around him!

Next, Annuo set his sights on the large slime.

With the killing of Anno and Wind Wolf, a lot of slimes were cleared out.

Half an hour later, the slime's attack slowed down.

One third of the adventurers were also injured. Some of the more seriously injured were sent to the town to be treated by the old priest, Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen, and then returned to the battlefield.

Before everyone had time to rest, the second wave of slime attacks began!

"Do these brainless guys understand tactics?"

An Nuo was shocked, but he could only lead everyone to hunt slimes again.

After more than three hours, the adventurers were somewhat exhausted.

The riverbank is littered with broken slime skins.

Some people used to collect them and exchange them for money later.

But now, everyone feels disgusted when they see slime.

In the past few hours, Annuo's team alone has hunted nearly five thousand slimes.

Many people's levels have been upgraded.

However, the consumption of physical strength and magic power cannot be replenished.

Many mage professions have long been empty.

And as more and more people were injured and could not get treatment - the priest had no magic power left, and the defense line could only keep retreating.

There is nothing we can do about this.

There were too many slimes, and they were attacking a concentrated area.

Teams from other places did not dare to move until the monster troops came out.

Even if we asked the guards and mercenaries who were resting in the town to guard the area, they would not be able to kill them all in a short time.

The consequence of the retreat of the defense line was that Annuo completely lost the vision on both sides of the moat.

Among the advancing slime army, there were several gnolls carrying a log that was more than ten meters long.

They carried logs across the river and then stacked the logs on both sides to form a passage.

Although the gnolls are intelligent, they are by no means good at tactics.

Everything they are doing now is directed by the cloaked demon.

In other words, the monsters’ plan to attack the village tonight, including the slime riot, was all planned by that unknown demon.

After the logs were piled up, dozens of goblins wearing helmets and light armor stood up from the grass with a sly grin and stepped on the logs to cross the river.

Anno, who was searching for a large slime, suddenly saw something strange on the river.

He immediately rode over on the Wind Wolf, ready to attack the black shadow on the log.

However, the goblin used his claws to hold on to the wood to stabilize his body, and easily ran to the other side of the river.

Except for the two goblins that were hit by [High-Pressure Acid Blast] and fell into the river howling, the other goblins crossed the river safely.

Anno was very surprised when he saw that these monsters were goblins.

"The summoned goblins I deployed around the area clearly didn't find any traces, how did they sneak in?"

After a rough count, Annuo found that there were about thirty goblins in this group, all of which were below level 5, but they were well-equipped!

Far better than adventurers!

"So they really used the slime as a cover and took advantage of the opportunity to come over!"

Now that they have seen the goblins, Annuo and others’ mission has been completed!

Take the flare out of the package and light the fuse.

“Snap!” “Snap!” “Snap!”

Three red flares exploded in the air almost at the same time.

Judging from their directions, the other two shots belonged to Xue Feibai and Meng Xin’s teams respectively.

In front of the town meeting hall.

Rodney looked at the flares in the sky and immediately woke up the resting guards and mercenaries and got ready to go!
