Chapter 14 Let's Go
Charon curled up in the swamp, using the filth on his body to cover himself.
“Pah, pah.”
Several murloc-like monsters were roaming nearby, their webbed feet making sticky sounds, their wide-open eyes searching for prey, the harpoons in their hands flashing a cold light.
Charon didn't even dare to breathe. In the past, he could kill these fishmen alone, but now he had lost his weapon. Not only that, his right leg was sprayed by a curse frog, and tiny thorns had grown out of it, depriving him of his ability to move.
Before, a magician named Ellie ran out with him in the chaos, but now no one knew where she had gone. If she were still there, perhaps she could use magic to attract the attention of the murloc.
He is not afraid of death, he just doesn't want to die in vain.
It would be too embarrassing to tell others that I went home in despair after finding nothing in the dungeon.
What's more, it will affect his father's evaluation of him.
His father had always favored his third brother. If Charon wanted to become the head of the family, he had to show his ability and defeat his third brother who was very talented in business.
To this end, he can use any means necessary!
Want to use that?
He clenched his fists, then unclenched them.
He continued to lie dormant in the swamp, closely watching the monster's movements, like a crocodile waiting for its prey.
At this moment, a beacon suddenly rose in the distance, the second beacon!
Who lit it? Stellan and the others, who would have the energy to light a fire under such circumstances?
The fishmen also saw the beacon fire and immediately ran towards that side agitatedly. It seems that the beacon fire also has the function of attracting monsters.
So insidious!
But this is a rare opportunity!
When all the fishmen left, there was still a lone one that did not move. It just stood there stupidly and was naturally spotted by Charon.
"Let me lend you my weapon!"
Charon pounced forward suddenly, pinned the fishman to the ground in an instant, and slammed down with his pair of iron fists like a torrential rain!
The poor fishman was hammered into a puddle of mud before he could even scream.
Charon picked up the harpoon dropped by the other party and left, not wanting to delay for a moment.
"What a crude weapon, totally worthless. Hey, what is this!?"
His expression was puzzled at first, then his eyes slowly widened, revealing a look of surprise.
At the same time as getting the harpoon, a combat skill knowledge called [Patience] flooded into my mind, and I could use it anytime I wanted!
The harpoon, covered in slime and filth, suddenly began to sparkle in his eyes.
Charon has a hunch that this magical thing might be a great help in his bid to become the head of the family!
"Bang——"
Suddenly, an explosion sounded from behind, followed by a faint white smoke. Charon immediately turned around to be alert, but found that it was the body of the murloc that exploded. The diffuse white smoke made it difficult to see the situation at the center of the explosion.
"Corpse explosion? But the power is too weak. How can it kill people?"
This is certainly not corpse explosion.
"Ah ...
The beast's roar instantly dispersed the fog, and Charon felt as if all his internal organs were impacted!
A ferocious aura surged forth, and a giant bear as big as a hill suddenly appeared at the location of the fishman's corpse, baring its teeth at him.
Charon was dumbfounded.
What is the principle behind this???
Why did the fishman turn into a giant bear after the explosion? Magic? I've never heard of this kind of magic!
Of course he didn't know the reason, because this was not magic at all, but
【Replica Teardrop (Normal)】
[Required mental power per unit: 100]
[Life: F-~D+, Strength: F-~D+, Intelligence: F-~D+, Endurance: F-~D+, Speed: F-~D+, Overall Combat Strength: F-~D+]
An ordinary replicant teardrop can transform into a D+ level monster at most.
The tears used by players in the game are of the highest level and can even transform into SSS. Unfortunately, they are too expensive and Gong Qiying cannot afford them, nor has he unlocked them.
But even for regular teardrops, the price/performance ratio is very high, so there are limitations.
Only five can exist at a time.
【Giant Bear】
[Required mental power per unit: 300]
[Life: D+, Strength: C, Intelligence: F, Endurance: D+, Speed: D+, Overall Combat Power: D+]
It's a very ferocious beast that will definitely bring unexpected surprises to adventurers!
Charon looked at the opponent's huge claw that could kill him with one slap, and then looked at the broken harpoon in his hand.
"hehe,"
“Ahhhhh——”
The huge swamp shook, and ripples appeared on the water surface, but soon returned to calm.
"What a terrifying atmosphere,"
Stellan looked into the distance and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"I hope no one encounters a powerful monster," Xiuen said haggardly.
He looked quite miserable now. The muscles on the left half of his body continued to atrophy. Black flies were circling around him, as if announcing that he would soon die.
The negative effects of the cursed frog's bite are still ongoing and cannot be alleviated simply by cutting off his arm. He has already entered the countdown to death.
"Let's worry about ourselves first,"
Stellan sighed and looked away.
A fortress built of black stones is just a hundred meters away, exuding a mysterious and solemn aura that makes people want to stay away from it.
But Stellan and the others really wanted to go in because the door of the fortress was open.
Looking back at the sky, three beacons were floating slowly. The mystery had been solved and the gate of the fortress was opened.
Not knowing who could light the beacon in this situation, Stellan guessed it was Charon and Ellie.
"Do you want to go in?" Stellan asked.
Xiu En nodded and said, "Now that we are here, I will not be satisfied if I don't go in."
"Can you still fight? Don't hold me back," the elf "girl" joked, and the two of them took out their weapons and rushed into the fortress.
"quack!"
The gargoyle hanging upside down from the ceiling opened its blood-red eyes.
Although he was at the end of his strength, Xiuen exerted more ferocious strength than ever before. He was able to fight the gargoyle on equal terms with just one arm. If his body was intact, he would probably have to pin the opponent down.
As for Stellan, ordinary bows and arrows had no effect on the stone gargoyles, so she took out a hammer.
This hammer is a trophy captured from the skeleton monster. It has no combat skills. After all, there are only a few weapons with built-in combat skills.
Every archer has a melee dream!
After abandoning the red tape of bows and arrows, Stellan's bravery in fighting with a hammer is no less than that of Xiuen!
Ping Pong
After a fierce battle, the duo of adventurers emerged victorious.
"Great!" Stellan raised her arms and shouted, her face filled with joy.
"Something exploded,"
The two gargoyles turned into dust and disappeared, leaving behind a piece of silvery-white stone?
"What is this?"
Xiuen was very confused. Ever since he entered the Senn Dungeon, he had encountered things he had never seen before, whether they were monsters or props and materials.
"Take it back to the appraiser," said Stellan, putting the silvery-white stone in her pocket.
“Boom boom boom.”
The back door of the fortress slowly opened, leading directly to the sick village. A cold and smelly wind blew, mixed with the wailing of monsters.
Stellan and Xiu En looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Let's go!"
