Chapter 794: Gong Baoding's Dilemma
Thick dark clouds covered the moon and starry sky.
It was pitch black in the deserted swamp beside the lake, and you couldn't see your fingers.
In the center of a smelly mud pit, there is a semicircular reef more than five meters high that is covered in mucus. There are several large and small holes on the reef, like a nest of something.
Dozens of blurry shadows circled the reef quickly, and their bodies seemed to be wrapped in a large ball of mucus. The combination of mucus and shadow looked very strange.
This nest has actually only appeared here for a few days, but there are no living creatures nearby. All creatures that are large enough have become nourishment for the growth of these shadows.
But at this moment, these stinky mud pit bullies are facing a formidable enemy.
A red light appeared from the horizon, and a burning murderous intention was locked on the lair behind them.
After the red light flew closer, there was finally some light in the surroundings, a bird song spread all around, and the shadows finally saw clearly what the red light was.
That red light turned out to be a flaming bird with a wingspan of nearly ten meters and long flaming tail feathers behind its tail!
The body of the flame bird carries astonishing high temperatures, causing the surrounding air to distort due to the high temperature.
The black shadows all blocked the front of the nest with their bodies and spit out mucus at the flame bird.
This mucus is highly toxic and difficult to remove once it gets on the body. It is several times more disgusting than the mucus that sticks to mice.
But the flame bird refused to dodge, and all the mucus was evaporated by the high temperature before it came into contact with it, turning into pungent smoke.
Then the flame bird paid no attention to the shadows that were facing formidable enemies, and quickly flew past them. The shadows passed by by the flame bird were all ignited with flames, and turned into ashes in the wail.
The flame bird directly hit the reef nest, and then the mucus on the reef was like gasoline and burned instantly.
In the midst of the raging fire, the flame bird soared into the sky and flew around the reef several times, occasionally flapping its wings to make the fire bigger. The astonishing high temperature quickly dried up the smelly mud pit.
Only ten seconds later, a ferocious monster with flames burning on its body broke through the reef nest and rushed towards the Flame Bird with a wisp of flame.
This is its desperate fight, but it means nothing to the flame bird.
The Flame Bird directly stretched out a claw, grabbed the monster and pushed it to the ground. The claws were as hot as a soldering iron, and soon the monster became dying.
After a moment, the body of the Flame Bird disappeared into the air, and what appeared in place was a somewhat slovenly middle-aged man.
This man is Gong Baoding.
He is the leader of the hunting team in a nearby city, and this swamp is also under his jurisdiction.
Gong Baoding sighed: "When I heard that a catastrophic-level slime monster mother appeared, I still had some expectations, but... you are simply too weak."
The slime monster looked at Kung Baoding angrily, it was just hiding here to give birth to children.
This guy didn't even say hello, he came over and killed all of them, and he still blamed it for being too weak?
However, the slime monster had no chance to refute Kung Baoding. A black chain protruded from Kung Baoding's hand like a living thing and bound the slime monster's mother body. Then the slime monster disappeared together with the chain.
It has been imprisoned in a shelter.
The chains surrounded Gong Baoding himself, and then he also entered the shelter and came to the disaster area of the shelter.
Usually when he passes by here, those stubborn monsters will keep yelling at him or say some dirty words.
But today these monsters were very quiet, staring at a mirror, as if expecting something.
Without the harassment of those monsters, Gong Baoding was happy to be at peace. He quickly came to the cell of the slime monster and began to enter the monster's information on the information card at the door of the cell.
Listing the monster's basic information at the door is not a mandatory requirement of the shelter, but except for Wen Wen, most shelter staff will abide by this rule.
Name:Mother of the slime monster
Level: disaster sequence
Abilities: Reproductive larval slime monster, spray slime, shadow hiding...
Note: The larval slime monster born from this monster is as strong as half a domestic goose, but it can parasitize in the shadow of humans and other large enough creatures through mucus, and absorb the nutrients of the host through the shadow.
After sucking the host dry, the juvenile slime monster will turn into an adult slime monster with a weak disaster level strength. However, the adult slime monster will not act alone and will only guard the mother's side...
Many monsters or sheltered objects have derivatives, and the strength of the derivatives is sometimes not as good as that of ordinary humans, so the shelter also has a set of strength classifications for such monsters.
The combat effectiveness of one person is equal to two dogs, and the combat effectiveness of one dog is equal to two geese. Although it is not very rigorous, it has certain reference value, but it looks a bit weird.
After entering all the information, Gong Baoding felt a surge of power pouring into his body. This was the shelter's feedback on his behavior of capturing monsters.
Unfortunately, this level of feedback is no longer useful to him.
The feedback brought by catching monsters can only allow Kung Baoding to approach the bottleneck faster and save some time for accumulation, but it cannot allow him to reach a higher level.
As the first intern to join the shelter, Gong Baoding has already become a mid-order superpower, and has already reached the bottleneck of the upper order.
But if he wants to make progress, just relying on the little improvement brought by catching monsters is completely insufficient.
He needs an opportunity to break through the bottleneck. This opportunity may be some kind of special encounter, or it may be an opponent of comparable strength, but this opportunity does not appear so easily.
As the person in charge of a city, Gong Baoding is now powerful enough to crush monsters of all sizes that usually appear. Monsters that he finds troublesome rarely appear in his jurisdiction.
Moreover, he has to fulfill his duties as captain and cannot leave casually to find other powerful monsters to fight.
For this reason, he applied for the hunter assessment and wanted to become a hunter.
However, the time for the Ranger assessment is fixed, and it will also take some time to find the next team leader.
In other words, Gong Baoding will be in this position for at least a few more months.
However, Kung Baoding had been stuck in one realm for many years before becoming a shelter, so he could still wait for a few months.
"Sloppy guy, you just caught a monster, what a coincidence."
"Eh...this monster is so ugly."
A petite figure wearing a black robe stood next to Gong Baoding, looking at the mother body of the slime monster and saying with disgust.
She held a large bucket of popcorn provided by the shelter for free in her hand, and while stuffing it into her mouth, she bumped Kung Baoding with her elbow and gave him a bag of pickled mustard.
The slime monster covered his face, trying to find a gap to get in.
