In half a day, the old dwarf Borg prepared the 'paralysis poison' according to Cyric's formula and process.
Cyric commented that the old dwarf's skills were poor, his medicinal materials were impure, and his spirituality was lacking. There was no way he could be called a true alchemist. As for the potions he made, they were of extremely poor quality, with close to zero efficacy, and could only be used by ogres.
Drink mouthwash.
However, after the potion was prepared, the old dwarf himself shouted excitedly. He said that he performed extremely well this time and prepared an unprecedented 'paralysis poison'. The effect of this medicine was beyond imagination, and the dragon drank it.
He will fall down and be unable to move.
Zhou Qingfeng bought another light crossbow from the old dwarf, plus a hundred crossbow bolts, which cost all the gold coins captured from the goblin warlock.
Crossbows are also called crossbows. Compared with lightweight bows and arrows, crossbows are much bulkier. However, the monsters in the black forest are all thick-skinned and rough, and they cannot be shot to death due to their low power.
The villagers of Black Marsh Village built this kind of small crossbow entirely to adapt to the environment of the Black Forest. The range and power of the crossbow are greater than that of the bow. Ordinary people can resist with a crossbow, but they can only scratch monsters with a bow and arrow.
.
The effective range of the light crossbow is only about thirty or forty meters, and it is lever-loaded. Its characteristic is that its power is guaranteed while its weight and rate of fire are not too bad. It can shoot five rounds per minute and can shoot through ordinary leather armor.
Although the power of the light crossbow is not as powerful as the bulkier and more powerful heavy crossbow, if it is paired with a 'paralysis poison', it only needs to hit the luǒ lù area and slightly scratch the skin.
The key is how effective is that green bottle of paralyzing poison?
"Are there any more powerful monsters here?" Zhou Qingfeng coated the crossbow arrows with 'paralysis poison' one by one and installed them on the crossbow's receiver slot.
The old dwarf also wanted to try his new masterpiece, and immediately recommended Zhou Qingfeng to hunt the 'mud monster' in the swamp. "Recently, there have been some very scary monsters in the swamp near the village. They often lurk on the edge of the swamp.
In the mud.
People in the village went to the swamp to catch various specialties, and were attacked by sludge monsters one after another, and several people died. We have always wanted to get rid of these monsters, but firstly, they are hidden and difficult to find; secondly, their skin is very slippery, and ordinary attacks are basically ineffective.
"
Facing the old dwarf's instigation, Zhou Qingfeng looked back at Todd.
The barbarian frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "If the paralysis poison can be effective on the sludge monster, then most monsters in the black forest will be afraid of it.
But the sludge monster is quite scary. Especially in swamps, it can suddenly jump several meters away after finding the target, bite the prey and then rush back into the swamp within a few breaths."
The meaning behind Todd's words is very clear. The sludge monster is really a terrifying monster. If the paralysis poison fails, the hunter will become the prey.
Zhou Qingfeng could only ask Cyric, "Can the sludge monster be restrained by the paralysis poison we prepared?"
"Sludge monster?" Cyric sneered, "I haven't heard the name of this kind of reptile for a long time. Although the 'mouthwash' you prepared is a little less effective, it can still be used to deal with reptiles.
But you'd better not get too close to the reptiles, because you are worse than a reptile now. I don't want to be the first god in the world to be bitten to death by a reptile."
After hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng felt confident. He asked the old dwarf: "Should we get some bait?"
"Bait?" the old dwarf laughed loudly, "There are plenty of baits in the village." After saying that, he shouted and asked the servants to get a 'bait'. Soon, a man with a withered face walked out of the shack, with his back hunched over.
Kneel on the ground.
Using people as bait?
Zhou Qingfeng was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but Todd's expression was as usual. The old dwarf said cheerfully: "The people who come to Black Marsh Village will not live long. As long as you give them money, you can buy their lives. I usually make potions.
Do this."
As expected, he is a believer in the "goddess of poison and disease" and doesn't care about human life at all.
Zhou Qingfeng sighed slightly in his heart, there was an evil god possessing him in his mind, and everyone he met around him was not a good person, and even his opponents were followers of the evil god - I was simply staying in the Valley of the Evil Ones.
The withered man seemed to be seriously ill, and he had no strength to speak.
Zhou Qingfeng bought the other party's life with a gold coin. But he had no cash, so the old dwarf acted as a guarantee and paid the debt to the 'bait''s family on credit first.
Being able to trade his own life for a gold coin, 'Bait' was grateful for Dade's thanks and expressed his willingness to lure out the mud monsters that harmed Black Marsh Village so that 'Master Hugo' could hunt them down.
Outside the old dwarf's shack, the villagers soon learned that the 'Dragon Vein Warlock' who came today was going to hunt the sludge monster. They watched the withered man slowly walk towards the swamp, followed by Zhou Qingfeng carrying a light crossbow.
Black Marsh Village is built near the swamp. Less than a hundred meters away from the village is a dangerous place with a layer of white mist. The villagers have built more than a dozen trestles beside the swamp, and they usually take special pontoon boats to go to the depths of the swamp.
, obtain local products.
These pontoon boats are connected to the shore with ropes, and can be pulled back by manpower when necessary. Due to the many dangers in the swamp, it is impossible to rescue them in danger. Therefore, every time they go out, they are gambling with their lives. Many people go out once and never come back.
Come.
Todd grabbed his big ax and followed Zhou Qingfeng. He was unwilling to apply poison on his weapon because he believed in the good god, but he did not interfere with Zhou Qingfeng's use of poison.
Hearing the commotion behind them, the barbarians turned around and glared, preventing the villagers who were watching the fun from following. But the villagers refused to disperse. They were still following from a distance, with a distance of more than ten meters, chattering non-stop.
The people in Black Marsh Village suffer because of the swamp, but they also rely on the swamp for a living. Many people can't survive in other places, so they come to this ghost place to work for their lives.
The villagers are not afraid of the Benn Church. They are enslaved wherever they go. However, the recent appearance of the sludge monster has seriously affected their livelihood. If they cannot enter the swamp to work, they will have no choice but to starve to death.
The old dwarf followed Todd with a staff, and some villagers shouted from a distance, knowingly asking: "Mr. Berg, what are you going to do?"
"Stay away, we are going to hunt the sludge monster." The old dwarf waved his staff, but did not forcefully drive it away. His doing so aroused the interest of the villagers, and almost half of the village came out to see it.
See how Zhou Qingfeng kills monsters?
The withered man who was the bait slowly walked to the trestle and jumped onto a round-bottomed wooden boat. He turned back and gave Zhou Qingfeng a wry smile, grabbed the towing rope on the boat and gradually left the shore.
According to the old dwarf's description, the sludge monsters used to only attack villagers who went deep into the swamp. But now they are becoming more and more courageous and have begun to approach the villages on the shore of the swamp. They bully the villagers and there is nothing they can do to them.
Zhou Qingfeng loaded the string of the light crossbow and inserted the crossbow arrow into the receiver. He had test-fired more than a dozen rounds before. The material used in this weapon was quite good and the accuracy within twenty meters was quite high. Now let’s see if there is any paralysis poison on the arrow.
How effective.
Todd grabbed the ax and stood beside Zhou Qingfeng to protect the latter's safety. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the trestle, staring at the muddy swamp, catching any movement in front of him.
But after waiting for half an hour, nothing happened except for one or two bubbles occasionally popping up in the swamp. The villagers watching gradually became impatient and kept yelling and criticizing.
When Zhou Qingfeng himself felt that sitting back and waiting was not an option, Cyric sent a warning: "Boy, pay attention! About thirty feet away to your left, something is coming five meters under the mud. Its target is
This is not the bait you put out."
Is there a monster coming?
The target is not the bait?
So who is the target?
