Of course, even if the mutated water monster was caught ashore and lay helpless in the woods, Jia Zhengjin would not be so reckless as to rush forward and engage in a close fight.
Because the tentacles of these mutant water monsters are still very scary, it is very necessary to stay vigilant.
Although Jia Zhengjin will not die, Cohen's soul state is currently weak in combat. He doesn't want to die several times in the hands of these guys for no reason. Especially there is Meili nearby!
Anyway, there was no need to worry about the mutated water monsters escaping. Although they tried to return to the water with their tentacles, they were blocked by the surrounding trees and completely unable to do so.
Jia Zhengjin directly switched his bow and arrow, leisurely aimed at the head of one of the mutated water monsters, and shot continuously.
The mutated water monster obviously had low HP and low defense. In addition, the damage from a shot to the head was doubled. When it turned into a hedgehog, it finally died.
[System] You killed the mutated water monster and gained 1,000 experience points!
Quickly recover the arrows on the corpse, touch the corpse to get a level 1 water attribute magic core and several junk props, and immediately go to the location of the second mutated water monster.
Meili was so frightened just now that after escaping for a distance, she looked back and saw Jia Zhengjin killing the monster with a bow and arrow, and was stunned.
She really couldn't imagine that these terrifying monsters could be killed so easily.
Moreover, the person who killed them turned out to be Cohen, the ten thousand-year-old low-level adventurer.
What the hell is going on?
Seeing Jia Zhengjin kill the second mutant water monster like this, he suddenly remembered the hatred of his companions, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran over quickly, bent down to pick up the bow and arrow dropped by his previous companion, and came to Jia Zhengjin: "I'll do it
Help you!"
Jia Zhengjin turned to look at her, said nothing, and continued shooting.
Although Meili was not very familiar with bows and arrows, she thought about avenging her companions, as if possessed by the soul of her fellow archers, she kept shooting at monsters.
Her arrow technique was not accurate, but it still caused some damage, allowing Jia Zhengjin to kill the mutated water monster faster.
Then recover the arrows, touch the corpse, and then lock on to the next one.
Together, the two of them finally killed all eight mutant water monsters caught ashore!
Jia Zhengjin has been promoted several levels, although it doesn't mean anything.
Among the trophies obtained, in addition to 8 level 1 water magic cores, there was only one water demon wand of excellent quality that was pretty good.
[Water Demon Wand] (Excellent) The power of water magic increases by 30%, intelligence +15, and the casting speed of water magic increases by 10%. Equipment requirements: Magician profession.
It increases the damage of water magic, adds 15 points of intelligence, and speeds up the casting speed of water magic by 10%. It can be said to be quite excellent. If you sell it to water magicians, you can definitely make a lot of money!
After the eight mutated water monsters were killed, Meili knelt down on the ground and burst into tears: "I avenged you..."
These water monsters killed her companions and were now shot to death. They indeed avenged their bloody vengeance.
Jia Zhengjin glanced at her, turned around and walked towards Shuangyue Lake.
"Danger!" Meili reacted and shouted to him loudly, "Be careful there are other monsters!"
Jia Zhengjin walked straight to the lake without looking back: "No more! There are a total of 8 mutated water monsters in the lake, and they have all been eradicated."
"How do you know?" Mei Li was stunned.
"Observe!" Jia Zhengjin continued to walk forward, and the lake water had already covered his knees.
"What are you going to do?" Meili asked anxiously when she saw him walking deeper and deeper.
"I want to investigate the situation in the lake and understand the number of victims and general information." Jia Zhengjin said calmly, "This seems to have nothing to do with you?"
"You...could it be that your mission is also to explore Shuangyue Lake?" Meili exclaimed.
Jia Zhengjin did not answer, but directly jumped into the lake and disappeared from Meili's sight.
The mutated water monster eats its victims, and the bones and equipment will of course remain.
Dive into the water, drag up the corpses one by one, and place them on the shore. Some of them are still intact, including Meili's companions who just died. Others have been eaten up by the mutated water monster and the fish and shrimps in the lake.
, leaving only skeleton victims.
Meili was actually very worried. She was not sure that there were only eight mutated water monsters in the lake.
But when Jia Zhengjin dragged the corpses out of the lake again and again, while admiring his courage, he also quickly ran over because the corpses of his companions appeared.
If it were her, she would not dare to search for corpses in such a dangerous lake.
I really don’t know where this low-level adventurer named Cohen got his courage? Why is he so different from the timid and weak guy in my impression?
Or is it that everyone’s previous impressions of him were all false?
Mei Li's mind was in chaos. She was very scared when faced with those unknown skeletons and did not dare to approach them. However, she kept trying to wake up the corpses of her companions, hoping that they were still alive.
But in the end, it ended in disappointment, and they were all too dead to die.
Jia Zhengjin dived and surfaced again and again, and more and more bodies were pulled out and laid side by side on the shore.
The number of victims was finally determined to be 35, including several very small bodies, which should be young children.
Of course, there are also some animal remains. As expected, the information held by the Adventurer's Guild is not accurate enough. In fact, dozens of people and countless animals were buried here before this time, but they have never been discovered.
Those victims were probably not locals, so others would not know about them after they disappeared.
"What are you going to do?" When Jia Zhengjin finished placing all the corpses and began to collect fairly good weapons and equipment from the corpses, and even took off the money bags, Meili exclaimed and wanted to stop him.
"These are my trophies!" Jia Zhengjin said with a frown.
"But... at least these are my companion's relics..." Meili wanted to stop him from taking away his companion's belongings.
"Hey!" A look of displeasure appeared on Jia Zhengjin's face, "I risked my life to kill the monsters and brought their bodies up from the bottom of the lake. According to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, I have the right to distribute these trophies, because they can be buried
For An, it’s all thanks to me!”
"This..." Meili actually knew this rule. It was legal for adventurers to obtain trophies when completing tasks. She just couldn't accept the situation where the property was taken away after the death of her companions.
"Let go, or I will treat you as a hostile target!" Jia Zhengjin warned, "Don't force me to take action!"
Meili was stunned for a moment, looked down at her companion's money bag, and finally slowly let go until Jia Zhengjin took them away.
Because it was inconvenient for Jia Zhengjin to put the trophies into his virtual backpack in front of Meili, he pulled the horse over and hung all the weapons and equipment that he liked, including gold and silver jewelry, on the horse's back. Then he got on the horse and
To leave.
"Wait!" Meili turned around and shouted, "Why are you going?"
"Nonsense! Hand in the task." Jia Zhengjin said calmly.
"Wait for me!"
"What are you waiting for?" Jia Zhengjin rode away directly on horseback.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Meili looked back at the corpse of her companion, "You guys wait, I will ask the union people to come over and restrain them immediately."
After saying that, he opened his legs and ran wildly in the direction where Jia Zhengjin left.
