Chapter 306: Sean's Pig Raising Strategy

Chapter 306: Sean's Pig Raising Strategy

"Maluo, can you please stop dancing? It makes me dizzy."

Leon looked helplessly at the petite figure jumping up and down in front of him, and covered his forehead helplessly.

"Hey, jump! chop! jump! chop!"

Malu jumped into the sky with a happy smile. The mercenary sword in her hand danced like a butterfly. She flew up and down and killed the Crow Man in front of her in an instant.

Before the Crow Man died, a strange phenomenon occurred. The wounds he was cut suddenly spurted out blood in large quantities, covering Malu's body.

Then, she was completely drenched in blood, and she just laughed as she jumped and chopped other Crowmen. The Crowmen let out miserably howling before they died. It was as if she had suddenly been transported to the set of Yharnam.

"I think Malu's mental state is worrying." Tel shook Drew's shoulder with concern: "How about you go and give her a sedative?"

Drew looked at his two short legs, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said:

"I can't catch up."

The moment she got the mercenary's knife, two ways of using it came to Malu's mind.

One is to quickly slash with two swords, relying on one's own agility to quickly cut a large number of wounds while dodging the enemy.

One is to jump up and then chop down. The chopping here is not a straight chop, but requires certain skills.

The two combat techniques that suddenly appeared in her mind were like the scene of the giant wolf Sif dancing with a sword that appeared in the mind of the Fran guard who had inherited the wolf blood. She could actively learn to release them herself, or she could choose to let the weapon drive her body, which was similar to the principle of using the combat skills attached to the weapon.

But she always felt unsafe to entrust her body to weapons, so she decided to learn how to use dual swords bit by bit in actual combat.

The question is, the mercenary dual swords are clearly weapons from Dark Souls III, so why is there a jumping and slashing technique?

Because, although the undead have no knees, adventurers do!

Malu once obtained the Corpse-Stripping Curved Sword, but at that time the jump-slash-related techniques did not come to her mind, so this time she was given the sword as well.

Isn’t it amazing that a dungeon can be patched anytime and anywhere?

"Maluo, calm down first!"

Leon and the others hurriedly ran to catch up with Malu who was having a lot of fun. Unknowingly, they ran down into a dilapidated building. After passing through the building, another name appeared in front of them.

【Crucifixion Forest】

"Boss, there's a new enemy!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the source of Malu's voice, and saw an open forest in front of them. In the forest were wandering zombies holding thick, sharp wooden spears. No, those were just sharpened wooden sticks, so rough that they could not even be considered spears.

The zombies walked unsteadily and were holding a heavy wooden stick. They looked like they would fall to the ground at any time and looked very weak.

Looking around, the forest was filled with these types of monsters, densely packed, and some were accompanied by hunting dogs.

However, with their harmless appearance, even with so many of them, they could not cause a sense of oppression to Leon and his men. Instead, they gave people this feeling:

It's so cool to mow the grass without any rivals!

This is what Malu thinks and is currently doing.

She rushed towards a small group of stick zombies, first taking out the most agile hound, and then practicing jumping and slashing on the zombies.

How should I put it? Although the output of normal attacks is also very violent and exciting, jumping attacks are even more exciting, and it feels like you are flying high.

This weapon seemed to be made for assassins like her who value physical agility!

Just as she was immersed in jumping and slashing, the zombies behind her raised sharp wooden sticks towards her.

"Mallu, behind me!"

"I saw it, boss, don't worry about it, I can handle it myself."

When the zombie rushed over with a wooden stick in hand, Malu leaned over to dodge the stick and cut off the zombie's knee. When it fell to the ground, she stabbed its head with the knife and then shook off the blood on the blade.

This combo is very cool.

It was at this moment that Malu discovered that the nearby zombies surrounded her and rushed towards her like the Leeroy with wooden sticks in their hands.

"Do you think I have no knees?"

She jumped high up and made the zombies' attacks miss. She spun her body and threw the dagger out, piercing the heads of two zombies. Then she hooked her hand and the dagger returned to her hand. Upon closer inspection, she found that there was magic thread wrapped around the handle, which was connected to her fingers.

Just as Malu was showing off her skills, Leon saw a zombie rushing towards him with a wooden stick. After thinking for a moment, he raised his shield towards the opponent.

I thought it was just an ordinary test of the opponent's strength, but

"Uh-huh?"

Leon suddenly couldn't stop stepping back, a look of surprise on his face.

The power of this group of zombies was unexpectedly strong. When they rushed over with wooden sticks, they were like chariots!

If it was a lower quality shield, it would have been pierced by now.

"Tell, help me."

Tel punched the zombies and sent them flying. Leon then put down his shield. If he had not raised his shield to defend himself, he would have suffered considerable damage. This group of ugly zombies could actually burst out with powerful strength in an instant.

Every monster in Sean's arsenal should not be underestimated.

After realizing the power of the stick zombies, Malu's behavior naturally became dancing on the edge of a knife in his eyes. He rushed over to get rid of the zombies, and held Malu's little head and gave her a good lecture, which finally calmed down the other party's crazy heart because of the jump and chop.

"The water in the Crucible Forest is not poisonous."

When they discovered that the water on the ground in the Cruelty Forest was actually non-toxic, everyone felt like they were in a dream.

Oh my god, Sean’s pool is not poisonous anymore. Have we accidentally entered an illusion?

Continuing forward, they encountered familiar enemies - werewolves tied to wooden stakes, that is, people who failed the wolf blood trial. Compared with the wooden stick zombies, the mad werewolves with fast and fierce attacks were more threatening. After defeating this kind of enemy, Leon and others found that the other party seemed to only drop detoxifying purple moss balls and green flowers.

Even if the [Overlord Finger Bone] added a bonus to their "luck", the rare items they finally obtained were nothing more than green flowers and plants that were larger in size and more powerful in effect.

In the Crucifixion Forest, they also encountered a fairly classic Thane design.

A werewolf tied to a wooden stake was howling wildly, with a bright spot of light in front of it, which seemed to be tempting people to kill this defenseless werewolf.

But if he did that, the three werewolves crouching and hiding behind the broken wooden stakes would laugh.

When Leon saw this design, he immediately laughed and said:

“It feels like I saw myself when I first entered the Thane dungeon.”

They seemed to see their "childhood" waving at them. In order to recall the feeling of the past, Leon even took the initiative to walk over and trigger the trap, and once again experienced the youthful years of the past.

Then there are familiar things again, a family of big and small crabs.

“Why is this thing everywhere?”

Seeing the Crab Firewood King again, people were speechless and felt aesthetically fatigued.

"I'll give it a try."

Unfortunately, a giant crab was blocking people's path and had to be dealt with. Malu volunteered to challenge it. After all, the continuous swinging of its claws by the giant crab was quite threatening, and she was fast enough to dodge it.

“Dangdang!”

There was a burst of sparks and lightning. Malu looked at the mercenary's knife and then at the crab's shell that had just been cut open, with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Her invincible jumping and slashing skills against the mercenary sword encountered obstacles!

"Damn, it's still too much for an armored enemy."

She used her high mobility to move around the edge of the crab and slashed it whenever she had the chance, and was able to kill the monster, but -

"Gululu!"

The big crab suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

"Escaped?"

Malu calmed down and sensed her surroundings. She didn't hear any sound of movement from under the ground and was about to walk towards Leon and the others.

Suddenly, a pair of huge pincers emerged from under her feet and clamped on her!

"I knew you were going to sneak attack me!"

Malu, who was already on guard, kicked the pliers and used the momentum to jump onto the rock wall next to her. She was clinging to the rock wall and was about to make faces and spit at the other party when she suddenly felt a vibrating sound coming from under her.

When I turned around, my eyes met two big round, dark eyes.

"Ah, hello."

Malu's eyelids twitched, because what she was standing on was a second big crab that camouflaged itself by blending its own color with the surroundings!

Too insidious, Sean!

"Boss, save me!"

Seeing the big crab under her struggling, and the big crab opposite summoning a group of small crabs to rush towards her, Malu couldn't help but let out a cry.

"Leon, do you need help?" Drew said with reluctance as he looked at Malu who was jumping up and down being chased.

"Let her be taught a lesson again." Leon's tone was firm.

"Maluo has been too arrogant recently. We need to get her to tone it down."

In the end, he still took action before Malu was pressed into the mud and smashed to death by the big crab.

"I'm going to eat a bunch of crabs when I go back this time!"

Her shouting attracted the crabs again.

Going deeper, Tel encountered a monster that would make him remember it for the rest of his life.

"ah!"

The big guy Tel screamed like a little girl, rushed behind Leon, pointed to the front and said: "There, there..."

When Leon saw this, he immediately became nervous, and Malu beside him couldn't help but shouted:

"Mushroom man!"

In the layers of woods, the figures of a group of mushroom people are looming.

The scene in which Tel was hit on the top of his head by a punch from the mushroom man in the tree hole is still vivid in his mind. Even now, when all the members of the strategy team have upgraded, they are still in awe of this mushroom man who looks naive but is actually a boxing champion.

Even though they vaguely saw purple spots of light among the group of mushroom people, they finally chose to take a detour and did not dare to confront the mushroom people head-on.

But in reality, they were just the corpses of a group of mushroom people.

This time, the strategy team scared themselves.

The number of werewolves gradually decreased, and stick zombies could be seen everywhere. Soon after, Leon and his friends encountered magician-type enemies wearing big hats. If magicians gathered together, they would be a troublesome force.

"Why do I feel like the moves of these magicians are a bit like déjà vu?"

The movements of the Big Hat Magicians firing the magic [Soul Arrow] are exactly the same as the movements of the Rhealucalia Magicians firing the [Pyroxene Magic Gravel]. It's like the same magic with a different special effect!

Reusing materials is amazing, isn’t it?

Of course, this statement is mostly a joke, after all, the nature of these two types of magic are different.

After a burst of bullets from the hail of guns from the magicians with big hats, they finally killed it completely. At this moment, the scene has changed from a forest to a dilapidated ancient building, as if they have entered the depths of the forest.

Since Gong Qiying had made some modifications to the map, it was no longer possible to determine their current location based on the original game map.

However, after walking a little further, they found a secluded corner with several bookshelves filled with densely packed scrolls, and there were unfinished scrolls in front of the desk, as if someone had stayed here not long ago.

Looking at the densely packed scrolls, Leon suddenly had an urge to roll around on them, which must be very stress-relieving.

“There are books here.”

Malu picked up a glowing item.

[Berheim's Oberbeck's Notebook]

[A notebook left behind by a magician from Bheim, recording some of his magical knowledge. The handwriting is completely unrecognizable, but if it is illuminated by the magic glow, it may allow the carrier to learn his magic.]

This item can only be used in Lienia of the Lake?

This seems to be the first time that adventurers have discovered items that connect two different areas.

“Leon, do you have this feeling?” Drew suddenly said, “This newly appeared area seems to be designed to take care of newcomers.”

Hearing him say this, Leon immediately felt the same way and said:

"The Path of Living Sacrifice can yield good weapons like the Mercenary Blade. Killing Crowmen and people carrying cages will give you a chance to get forging stones to upgrade your weapons. Zombies holding sticks will drop small pieces of souls, which can help people upgrade themselves or their weapons. Werewolves have detoxifying moss balls and green flowers, which are just right for the poison pool and deceleration of the Fran Fortress. I can't figure out what the big crabs are for. Maybe they are for practicing for entering Lake Lienia in the future?"

"The monsters here are quite challenging. If you are not careful, you will die. But if you are careful enough and have a little luck, you can get a good training."

"The new area is a very suitable place for newcomers to train. It is much more suitable than the current Fran Fortress."

It looks like this is a place where the strength of newcomers who are not strong enough to challenge the Fran Fortress can be quickly improved!

That’s right, this is the pig farming strategy for the Sion dungeon.

As a novice map, the entry difficulty of Faran Fortress is still too high, so you need to go to the Road of Living Sacrifice, which can quickly feed ordinary people to level 10 or even level 20. After level 20, the souls provided here are not enough, and you must explore other areas of Sen.

So, what can an adventurer of only level 20 do in other areas? The result is self-evident.

The novice map "Road of Living Sacrifice" can give the over-eager adventurers the illusion that "I can clear the dungeon if I try hard". If they die in other areas for a few days, it will be enough to earn back the mental resources invested in their training in the early stage of the dungeon, and then they can just make pure profit from mental power.

It doesn't matter even if some people run away after leveling up. I believe that most people will not forget the pleasure of quickly improving their strength at the campfire. This thing can actually improve one's own strength and is more addictive than ice.

Can people who have experienced upgrades really calm down and slowly train themselves?

Given that most people can't even resist smoking and drinking, I'm afraid not many people can refuse to stay in the Sen Dungeon.

Although the new area is good news for novices, it is a bit boring for veteran adventurers like Leon. It lacks sufficient stimulating elements. Perhaps real novices should be allowed to come and explore here to make the show more effective.

Old men like them who can think of eighteen different ways of sneak attacks just by looking at the bushes should just challenge the difficult bosses obediently and don't make themselves look bad.

As soon as Leon had this thought, he saw a dark figure standing upright not far away.

[Black Knight], a black knight with strength of C+.

Ok I take that back, there is still excitement here!

Everyone chose to quietly bypass the Black Knight, not even picking up the purple light spot behind him.

But the black knight just now seemed to be a little joke of Sean, and the monsters that followed were just ordinary monsters on the way, so people gradually relaxed.

At the end, they saw two humanoid enemies guarding a dilapidated building.

[Exile], [Holy Office Exile].

Both of these enemies are Flan guards.

The Exile was wearing cool-looking armor, and he exuded a murderous aura. The sword on his shoulder was shining coldly, and one could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.

The appearance of the Priest Exile is even more avant-garde. Compared with the original work, Gong Qiying made some modifications to him.

In fact, it was just a change of weapon and wearing heavy armor. The original Cleric Exile held a big stick, but here, it was changed to the big chicken leg from Dolan Gureg - [Molten Iron Hammer].

After noticing the adventurer, the Clergy Exile rubbed some lightning grease on the smelting hammer, and the big chicken drumstick turned into a golden chicken drumstick.

People were scared just by looking at that thick and big thing.

"The enemies ahead aren't too strong, except for the Black Knight," Malu said, "Although they look intimidating, they can't be too strong, right?"

"It's better to be careful." Leon warned, and everyone drew their weapons.

When Drew was casting buff magic on everyone, two exiles rushed over. Leon stopped the exiles alone, while Tel and Malu went to stop the priest.

"He must be a slow, stupid guy holding a heavy weapon."

Malu took the lead and used a jumping slash on the priest, shouting, "I'm not afraid of you!"

“Dangdang——”

Sparks flew, and her palm was hurt by the reaction force. Then she looked again and saw that the mercenary's sword had only left a few scars on the opponent's heavy armor. It was estimated that he had not really hurt the opponent!

Heavily armored enemies are the lifelong enemy of agile weapons.

"Tsk, it really is useless."

Malu looked at the big golden chicken leg that was thrown at her, and showed off her skills, dodging the attack by a few centimeters with a sarcastic smile on her face.

“Boom!!!”

The unprecedented loud noise froze her smile on her face, the strong wind blew her hair into a mess, and the ground beside her suddenly sank into a large cavity!

"Huh?"

Malu's expression suddenly froze, and she looked to her side tremblingly.

I saw the molten iron hammer smashed deeply into the ground, and when it was pulled out, it brought up a series of rubble, as if I could hear the wailing of Mother Earth.

At this moment, many things flashed through her mind, from the Big Bang to what to eat for dinner today, it was like a kaleidoscope of thoughts.

If she hadn't dodged and got hit.

Maybe my height will become shorter than that of the dwarf Drew?

“Well, that.”

She backed away like a scared cat, saying, "It looks like you're in good health."

The Clergy Exile completely ignored her appearance and picked up the smelting hammer to continue smashing down.

Malu ran away, shouting:

"If you have this kind of power, why are you guarding the door here?"

Hearing this, the Clergy Exile took out another iron-melting hammer from the bushes beside him as if to show off.

Wielding two big chicken legs, he is the truth today!

"You're wearing heavy armor and holding two big hammers, can you really run!"
