While chatting, they killed monsters wandering in the wild. Following Sam's guidance, Levi and his group arrived at a swamp not long after, which was exactly where Sam and his team had lost their goose eggs.
As far as the eye can see, there are almost no trees, instead there are endless, smelly mud ponds.
There were a large number of moss and duckweed plants, as well as some rotten branches and trunks, and even the corpses of some small animals floating on it. Levi could not see any ready-made roads for a while.
At the same time, a hazy mist floated over from time to time, making the whole scene look extremely weird.
Levi couldn't help but frown. This disgusting environment would definitely slow down their movement speed. Not only was it difficult to walk in the mud, but also because of the mist, they had to be careful not to fall.
And no one knew whether there would be any monsters jumping out from under the swamp, so Sam really posed a problem for everyone.
No wonder, except for the God-chosen heroes of the ocean system, most of the other God-chosen heroes are insensitive to water-type areas and monsters. Even swamps look like this. So how should we fight in real lakes and ocean environments?
The only consolation is that my familiar little frog has recently reached level 2 and has learned a power-sharing technique, which allows me to temporarily lend one of its skills to myself as the owner.
The little frog is born with the Swamp Stride skill, which allows him to move freely without being affected by the swamp. This makes it much more convenient for him, but others don't have any good solutions.
Even Donna couldn't help but frown. Most of their Amazon paradise island is a jungle area. Even if there are some swamps, they usually don't go to the mud. Instead, they simply move by jumping on tree trunks.
Naturally, there is no danger of falling into the swamp.
Even they look like this, especially Zhou Miyin and others.
Seeming to see everyone's dissatisfaction, Sam quickly explained: "Sir, don't worry, we passed by this swamp before, and I still remember the map. This swamp only looks dangerous, but in fact it is very shallow underneath. I can lead everyone
Take a safe path!"
Sam was not completely bragging, and he quickly led everyone to find a relatively safe path. Although it still looked disgusting on the surface, with mud and other things everywhere, no one really fell into it.
It's just that everyone's movement speed inevitably slowed down. Sam and Donna were the least affected, but Zhou Mi's movement speed dropped by 20%-35% respectively, probably based on their physical fitness, agility and other attributes.
And Li Wei felt that if humanoid creatures such as dwarves or orcs came over, the impact might be even higher.
The only exception is Levi himself. Because of the swamp stride skill shared by the little frog, his movement speed is still normal, but it is still inevitable that his shoes will be filled with mud.
However, this only strengthened a certain idea in his mind. When he had the opportunity, he must change to a stronger magic pet.
The few skills of the little frog, except for increasing the health value, are slightly useful, but the other skills are too limited.
Now that he knows that the magic pet can share skills when the level is high, then he can find a giant dragon, phoenix or the like. Isn't it more fragrant than a small frog?
As they moved forward, some swamp-specific monsters came to attack from time to time, including swamp mosquitoes, swamp flies, some sludge monsters that looked like mud, and some slugs that looked like slugs.
monster.
Their strength is as worthless as the mud under their feet. They are basically level 0 cannon fodder, and you can't even see a level 1 one for a long time. Moreover, they have no intelligence at all, and they almost die when they show up.
But through fighting with them, Levi became more and more aware of the shortcomings of his team.
Because these giant bugs are only the size of a palm and are extremely fast, it is difficult for ordinary shooter-type troops other than Donna to make effective hits against small, highly mobile enemies like them.
In contrast, Zhou Miyin and other melee troops performed very well today. No matter how fast the insects are, they cannot remain so agile when they launch an attack, and this is often when they die.
.
But overall, today's battle went smoothly, because the attack power and vitality of those swamp flying insects were very low, so they only posed a slight threat to Levi and the half-elf hunters. For Zhou Mi, who was wearing leather armor,
Because waiting for someone, it is almost impossible to break the defense.
While walking, Sam suddenly stopped, turned around and said with some surprise: "Sir, I think the swamp here seems to have changed. The last time we came here, the mud was over my knees, but
Now"
He stretched out his hand and pointed down, and everyone saw that the mud only reached his calf. You must know that he is a halfling, and he is only about one meter tall, so in fact, this seemingly disgusting swamp is only so
Just a shallow layer.
Levi looked back and forth and found nothing unusual, so he could only shrug: "Everyone should be careful until we figure out the cause."
He has suffered accidents and even attacks more than once due to information asymmetry, so before he can fully grasp the information, all he can do is be more cautious.
Sam nodded and turned around to lead the way again, but then Donna suddenly raised her bow and arrow: "Be careful, an enemy appears!"
In fact, she didn't need to remind her too much. Everyone else had already noticed it. With a "buzzing" sound, a dense swarm of swamp mosquitoes, swamp flies, swamp dragonflies and other flying insects came over.
The number of them is unprecedented, even forming a sparse sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters. It seems that there are at least hundreds of them.
And Li Wei knew that something abnormal must have happened this time, because although they had come to attack more than once before, they had never fought side by side like this. Even the swamp dragonflies would feed on two other types of flying insects.
.
In this situation, they were either frightened by some big monster, or they were driven by some kind of enemy, such as the Geron frogmen who had ambushed them as Sam mentioned before!
He immediately ordered: "Form up where you are and prepare to meet the enemy!"
As he spoke, he also took out the rusty flame iron badge. Although the number of these bugs was large, they were still within the range of what he could deal with, because their health points were extremely fragile.
Many subordinates obeyed the order, and then the long-range troops took the lead in showing off their power. A shower of arrows flew over, and almost without exception, all the flying insects that were shot were killed instantly.
When the half-elf hunters attacked small groups of flying insects before, their hit rate seemed a bit worrying, but now their arrows are showing great power, because when many flying insects gather together, they can't even shoot with their eyes closed.
Often one arrow can kill several of them directly.
Levi even directly used the Burning Arrow Technique on Donna. These special arrows with magical effects looked normal in the quiver, but they only emitted a faint red light.
But it showed its power as soon as it was released from her hand. The blazing flames burned directly on the arrow. In addition, Donna's archery skills were amazing, so her killing efficiency far exceeded that of other half-elves.
Li Wei was still in the mood to count at first, but he soon gave up because she killed too many!
But despite this, these unintelligent bugs still came one after another, and soon they arrived. Zhou Miyin and others raised their weapons and stood ready, while Li Wei stretched out his hand to grab it: "Burning Hand!"
The blazing line of fire spurted out from his fingertips, vaguely shaped like a giant hand, and instantly enveloped several meters in radius. There was only a burst of explosions, dense red damage numbers flashed frequently, and there was a burning smell in the air.
I don't know how many dozens of mosquitoes were killed by this blow.
But it's not over yet. The badge can be used twice a day. If Levi wants to continue using it later, he can get additional uses by consuming 15 magic points.
"Burning Hands!" "Burning Hands!"
After three consecutive magic shots, the originally dense insect swarm became much sparser in an instant. At least hundreds of them were killed by him in a few seconds. This was the power of magic.
It's a pity that his strength is still far from strong. If nothing else, if the kobold wizard Doug Bone Eater fires a fireball, he can clear the battlefield directly.
At this moment, Sam suddenly shouted: "Sir, it's the Gron frogmen, they're coming!"
