A tentacle as thick as a forearm emerged from the magic circle, its dark purple, adult-sized torso covered in pustules, making it look quite appetizing.
It nimbly twisted its body and lashed out at the surrounding skeleton warriors, each time it successfully hit a target and caused the skeleton to be briefly stunned.
Coupled with the harsh environment of the swampy terrain, they could only passively take hits.
Moreover, the tentacle cannot be selected as an attack target, and can only be attacked by it, which is frustrating.
Seeing this, Liu Nian knew that the mage-type slime monster in the mist had made its move!
Obstructed by the mist, its direction was invisible to the naked eye, so the vampire was ordered to go and harass the mage unit.
The flying vampire units are unaffected by terrain and can easily handle such situations.
She hovered in mid-air for a moment, then flew off in one direction and quickly disappeared into the mist.
A moment later, the distinctive screams of the slime monster echoed from the mist.
Knowing that the vampires had become entangled with the rotting slimes, Liu Nian began to tighten his formation, replacing the skeleton warriors with ghouls in the attack.
Due to terrain interference, the zombies and the Black Knight were not released this time, and they could only sit on the sidelines in the space.
Due to the dense fog, ranged units, whose vision was obstructed, could only line up in a crescent shape to shoot the slimes trapped in the ghoul legion.
With the support of ranged units, the slime's armor value drops significantly faster.
Their only attack skill, Mud Spray, reduces the hit rate and attack power of units hit by it.
However, for Liu Nian, who commands a large number of troops, the impact of a single unit being hit by a skill is negligible.
He only needs to order that unit to withdraw from the battlefield, and a new unit will soon fill its position.
The entangled mage-type slime was unable to release its tentacles to attack again. With the balance of power shifting, the four elite melee units were quickly sent back to the altar.
It's not time to relax yet; there's still a mage-type elite slime monster over there that we haven't dealt with.
The vampire leisurely circled around the slime, and the slime had no way to deal with the highly mobile vampire.
Liu Nian walked to a place where he could see its appearance clearly. The mage-type slime was more dilapidated than the previous slime. It looked like a puddle of mud, with pits and bumps all over its body, which was quite an eyesore.
Don't be fooled by its struggling movements as it tries to attack the vampire; its strength is the opposite of its appearance.
It possesses a highly toxic slime that poisons nearby targets, and it also has the ability to devour individual targets in the vicinity. If it cannot be defeated within a certain time, it will completely devour the unit and then fully restore its own health.
After the ghoul was attacked, it was hit by the splashing venomous slime. Seeing the ghoul's wound corroded, Liu Nian fully experienced its terror and had no choice but to switch to the skeleton warrior, which had low attack power but was not afraid of poison.
Under the barrage of arrows, various energy blasts, and Liu Nian's bone spear, it couldn't hold out for long and quickly turned into mud, becoming Liu Nian's experience points.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully defeating the Rotten Slime and gaining 500 experience points]
This slime has 1,000 experience points, which is 200 more than the previous slime.
However, considering its terrifying power, it is worth the price.
This group of five slimes dropped three cards and a certain amount of crowns for Liu Nian.
[A leather bag of French bread] (Tier 3 Supply Card)
Note: You may not know French bread, but have you ever heard of my other name, the long and thick baguette? Back in the day, I was used as a weapon.
There's no way to complain about this; the long, thin bread that often appears in movies and TV dramas set in the XX concession area is what this refers to.
A piece of green-quality equipment is not as good as what you already have, so we'll skip it.
The last card caught Liu Nian's eye; it was yet another functional treasure.
[Magic Bottle] (Tier 2 Treasure)
Effect: Restores 100 health and 100 mana to the target after use. The restoration lasts for 10 seconds and can be interrupted.
Number of uses today (3/3)
Effect: Charge
Note: Legend has it that this item was carried by the great mage Abbas.
As for who Abbas is, Liu Nian doesn't know, but that doesn't affect his ability to use the magic bottle.
"Representation."
As Liu Nian finished speaking, a transparent glass bottle containing blue liquid appeared in his palm.
The glass bottle is about the size of a palm; one hand can only hold half of the bottle. The mouth of the bottle is blocked by a rustic wooden stopper.
Charging?
So, it refreshes every day?
Wouldn't that mean we have an inexhaustible supply of water?
I wonder if this water will quench my thirst?
Liu Nian's imagination started to wander again.
He carefully hung the magic bottle on his waist; the inability to use his spatial ring made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Will it break if I roll over by myself?
Since the Mud Monsters give so much experience, why not wander around a bit? Dungeons are great for leveling up, so we shouldn't waste them.
After the success, Liu Nian's morale soared.
The ravens began to venture deeper into the thick fog, taking on the heavy responsibility of searching.
Following the tracks left by the skeleton warrior, Liu Nian walked deeper and deeper into the cave.
The mud monsters along the way could no longer stop Liu Nian's progress. After getting used to their skills, they could only serve as experience points for Liu Nian.
Just like the slimes we killed before, there are five in each group, and one of them is guaranteed to be a mage-type slime.
The deeper Liu Nian went, the deeper the mud pit became. As he ventured deeper, the monster in front of him transformed from a mud monster into a zombie.
【Rotting Zombie】(Level 24 Elite Undead Unit)
[Rotting Mud Archer] (Level 25 Elite Undead Unit)
One was slow, the other was medium speed, but the fact that the rotting zombie could walk freely in the swamp puzzled Liu Nian.
The zombies he had released to guard him were swallowed up by the swamp on their way, and Liu Nian could only watch helplessly as they were submerged in the mud.
Now, what's it like to see a living zombie jumping around in front of you?
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting, isn't it?
Grandma could tolerate it, but Grandpa couldn't. The ranged classes in the back row all turned their arrows and shot at the mud archers in front.
Don't doubt it, I didn't make a typo.
I was just angry, but I didn't lose my temper.
Why not attack this melee punching bag instead of the ranged attackers?
It has all the characteristics of a zombie: high attack power, high defense, high health, and slow speed.
Therefore, the ghoul legion was its only opponent. As for their ranged archers in the back row, they could only exchange fire, and Liu Nian was helpless.
Separated by this disgusting swamp, anyone who tries to cross it in close combat will be a sitting duck.
vampire?
Are you sure you want to send your only air force unit to take this risk?
There are a whopping twelve archers on the other side!
Moreover, the surroundings are shrouded in mist; what if there's an ambush?
Liu Nian hid behind two skeleton warriors holding shields, observing the situation on the battlefield.
He figured out the boundaries of the swamp, which also allowed him to gain a lot of experience points.
The air wall is surrounded by swamps, and a little further ahead is a large pool of water that extends all the way to here; this is the only entrance.
However, there were quite a few guards, including twenty rotting zombies and twelve rotting archers standing on the high ground shooting in their direction.
The pools on both sides restricted Liu Nian's troops from deploying. He had considered letting the zombies on the other side come over, but it seemed as if they were doing it on purpose. No matter what kind of unit was in front of them, they still held their ground on the only passage and remained unmoved.
The ravens had very low visibility, and several had just been shot dead by the archers on the other side, so Liu Nian didn't dare to send out more ravens to check.
For a time, they were deadlocked and could only wage a war of attrition.
Can you really make him feel this relaxed?
There were obvious ripples in the small puddle in front of Liu Nian, and then the ground trembled slightly.
It was obvious that a gigantic monster was approaching, and this realization gave Liu Nian a bad feeling.
