Chapter 5959. Testing the Melee Model
In the wasteland beside the Venom Lake, except for the occasional sound of water splashing in the lake, it is as quiet as the world of the dead.
The ground beneath my feet was dark green and the air was filled with an unpleasant sour smell.
"This smell is too bad," the wizard covered his nose and cast a purification spell on several people. "When the Green Eyed Frog was here, although it was all green poisonous fog, at least there was no such pungent smell."
Wells rubbed his nose. He thought it was okay, only slightly worse than the sour beer in the Rotten Willow Tavern.
What he cared more about was the sound of water splashing in the lake.
The few people did not walk along the mushroom road. It was pitch black nearby and the range of the lighting technique was limited, so they could not see the situation in the lake clearly.
"What do you think is living in the lake now? Do you want to catch one and see if it has any value?"
Wells' proposal made several people excited. Things that have never happened before always represent more opportunities.
However, Captain Ralph vetoed it: "I'm afraid it's too late."
"What do you mean by too late?" Wells didn't understand what the captain meant.
"You may not have noticed, but in a few minutes we'll be barefoot."
Wells raised his foot with a puzzled look on his face...
"What the hell!?"
That pair of standard adventurer thick-soled shoes actually only had half of the sole left!
The others soon discovered the same thing on the soles of their shoes.
"Why are my feet so slippery?"
The worst was Jini, whose shoes were the thinnest.
Jinny stretched out her hands, grabbed Wells' sleeves and pleaded.
"Wells, can you carry me on your back?"
The priest's feet stepped back and forth under his robe, and it seemed that he would really hurt his feet in a while.
"But I'm still carrying this." Wells patted the two bags on his back, which were full of monster corpses.
"Please, Wells, you are the strongest among them, just let them share the two bags. Don't worry, I will also help and won't let you get tired!"
As he spoke, he shook the staff in his hand.
"Let me carry it." Just as Wells was about to agree, Ralph suddenly inserted himself between the two of them.
"Tsk." Wells frowned, said nothing, and just made way.
Jinny winked at Wells with a hint of pity, then lay on the captain's back.
"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Ralph."
As he spoke, he stretched out the small staff in his hand and waved it. A gray light flashed by, and Ralph, who was originally struggling, suddenly felt relaxed and set off first with Jinny on his back.
"Let's get out of this lake as soon as possible."
Everyone followed.
Only the mage was a little confused - it seems unnecessary to use potential stimulation here?

Lin Jun's attention was no longer on this level 42 human killer.
A human killer, what does a mushroom have to do with him?
Is it more important than his latest mass-produced warrior, Puji?
[Dodge LV7] + [Scale Armor LV5] + [Speed LV6] + [Blade Whip LV5] + [Mycelium Reorganization LV3]
In fact, five skills consume a bit too much energy, but now that my business is big, it’s okay to be a bit extravagant.
Although the turrets are powerful, they are also highly versatile.
But after each battle the ground was in a mess and it took a long time for the fungal blanket to recover.
At home, many things are better done by melee weapons with less destructive power.
This is also the reason why Lin Jun did not add self-destruction to the close combat.
The main responsibility of these melee fighters is to deal with dishonest adventurers within the fifth floor.
If we really encounter an enemy that we cannot defeat, it will not be too late to dispatch a large-scale mushroom artillery force.
If they still can't suppress it... Lin Jun and Xiao Hei...
This group of security guards are mainly focused on agility and dodging.
Blade whips were brought by dragon beasts during the Demon Tide, the main representative of which was the Blade Tail Whip Dragon.
This skill allows the Pujis to generate blades on their mycelial tentacles, which can be quite powerful when swept away.
Unfortunately, the mycelial tentacles cannot be extended from 2 meters to 10 meters like those dragon beast tails.
The tentacles' attack range is limited to 4 meters.
The first batch of four long whips are freshly baked.
The actual combat capability remains to be tested.
Because the imaginary enemy is an adventurer.
So the best person to help with the test is——
"Boss, what did you say?"
Dylan, who had just been sleeping soundly, was pulled to a small open space.
He stared blankly at the fine steel sword that Lin Jun had so thoughtfully given him, then looked at the sixteen tentacles of the four creatures opposite him, the scales and blades on which were shining coldly.
A shock hit him from top to bottom: "Boss, I can't do it..."
"Don't say such discouraging words. Aren't you also a silver adventurer? You are an elite who managed to escape death from the demon group!"
"That's because I can escape, not because I can fight..." Dylan said with a bitter face, "Boss, didn't you say you would let me take a vacation?"
"I'm doing this for your own good, Dylan," Lin Jun advised earnestly, "Exercise more to stay healthy. You've been obsessed with special nutrition every day lately, and you'll be ruined in the long run. Just think of it as stretching your muscles. Don't worry, it won't be dangerous."
"Is there really no danger?"
"I promise you won't die!"
"wait……"
Before Dylan could continue to refuse, two of the Puji received the attack order and rushed forward.
"grass!"
[Block LV4]
Just as Dylan held the sword across his chest, a tentacle blade stabbed over and collided with the sword, making a clang sound.
The next second, two more tentacle blades swung over from the side. Dylan rolled on the ground to avoid them, leaving two deep scratches on the big mushroom behind him.
It's 2 vs 1, or the long-arm vs the short-arm. Dylan, a pure melee fighter, can hardly find a way to get close and can only keep dodging.
After hiding for a while, he seemed to have thought of a solution.
When the tentacle blade flew over again, Dylan did not retreat. Instead, he seized the opportunity to take a step forward and slashed at the middle of the tentacle.
But as soon as the sword struck him, Dylan knew that something bad was going to happen. The sword failed to completely cut the tentacles covered with scales. Instead, the tentacle blades used this fulcrum to circle around and attack him from behind.
【Spin Slash LV5】
In desperation, Dylan used his fighting skills, not only cutting off the half of the tentacle that was still connected, but also slashing back to knock down the tentacle blade behind him, barely resolving the attack.
But Dylan couldn't be proud.
He had just knocked down one tentacle, but there were still seven more waiting for him to deal with...
"This...what can this do?"
Dylan simply stopped thinking about attacking and just kept circling around the big mushroom.
You know what, this method really works. When Puji swings the blade, it will sink into the big mushroom, and Dylan can take the opportunity to run far away.
There was no point in going on, so Lin Jun stopped tormenting Dylan.
"Okay, that's all. Thank you for your hard work, Dylan."
Seeing that the two Pujis behind him stopped chasing him with their short legs, Dylan leaned on the mushroom beside him and softened, panting and wiping the sweat from his face.
Even if the boss says he won't die, if he gets a few cuts on his body it would hurt his old bones to death.
"Dylan, you can't do this. There are only two of them. I'll give you an item to increase your strength later."
Lin Jun was quite satisfied with this test.
Lin Jun didn't do any micro-management. The Pujis just followed the orders and fought according to their instincts.
Although Dylan is considered weak among the silver adventurers, it was a bit beyond expectations that only two of them could suppress him. I thought it would take at least three.
Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that Dylan was not completely serious. It is normal that he could not exert his full strength without the pressure of life and death.
Moreover, the adventurers will cooperate with each other, so there won't be an embarrassing situation like Dylan who couldn't hit Puji's real body.
Next time, let’s try it on the unruly group of adventurers.
