Chapter 403: Swamp Hydra (2-in-1)
The sinkhole of the dead is hundreds of meters deep, and if you go down the circular ramp mountain road, you have to go around in a large circle, dozens of kilometers to reach the pale mire at the bottom of the sinkhole.
However, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi passed the gliding skills attached to the equipment, but they were easy, circled and descended, and in less than a minute, they could reach the bottom of the sinkhole.
In the process of descending, Li Shuyi talked about Bao Yiming.
"What does that fat man mean? I don't think he has any ill will. ”
"Whether there is malice or not, I can't see it for the time being. But it's a little underwhelming. Bai Xiaowen said.
"Why does he have to follow us? His strength should be very strong, the hero profession is level 6, not much worse than Qi Ruifeng, it stands to reason that there is no need to force a team with us. Li Shuyi said.
As for deliberately making light bulbs to make people suspicious, Li Shuyi doesn't think that people who can change to a hero profession will be so superficial. Don't look at the big fat man Bao Yiming is not very handsome, but on the earth, the beautiful girls who chase him must have a big vote, and the hero profession is a golden signboard, which is equivalent to the fifth diamond king in the era of AD......
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I can guess some reasons...... Just now, I took a look with insight, Bao Yiming's profession is a street fighter wrestler, with high strength and good at wrestling and throwing skills. According to the information, at the bottom of the sinkhole of the undead, the main monster in the pale mire, the mire hydra, are all large-sized monsters, and Bao Yiming's throwing skills are quite disadvantaged. ”
"In other words, the pale quagmire is not suitable for him to play, and if he goes alone, the benefits will be very limited, so he started to team up with us. Li Shuyi quickly made up the follow-up answer.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and smiled: "So, he also said that you can take less loot when you team up, in fact, even if you take less loot, the harvest after he teams up with us will be much richer than his solo adventure, but it will squeeze out our income." That's why I flatly refused......"
As they spoke, the two had glided to the bottom of the sinkhole.
At the bottom of the sinkhole, there are some huge glowing plants, which look like mushrooms, and they are all long rhizomes that support the ring-shaped canopy. It's just that their size is hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary mushrooms, and they are as tall as trees.
The pale light emitted by these giant mushrooms, though faint, managed to illuminate the underworld of the Sinkhole of the Dead. The pale mire got its name, and in addition to the white ghost mist, these mushrooms should also be one of the reasons.
"Fortunately, the ground here is a little stronger than I expected," Li Shuyi said with a smile as she walked with a shallow foot, "so that the battle will not be affected too much." ”
The pale mud on which the two of them are currently walking, the mud is deep in some places, but it only sinks to the ankles, and in most places, the mud is very shallow, but it only sinks into the soles of the feet.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No, the place where we landed is close to the mountain wall, and the terrain should be considered high...... This is the bottom of the sinkhole, the climate is humid, and the silt in some of the depressions should be very deep. The name of the monster that lives here, the mire hydra, can also guess a thing or two. ”
Sure enough, as Bai Xiaowen said, after walking a few hundred meters forward, the two of them encountered a depression, which was a quagmire with a rancid smell, which looked not much different from the ordinary ground, but the color was slightly darker. Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen had a sense of mental power and discovered the problem in advance, so he didn't fall into the quagmire.
Although both of them have superhuman physiques and can get out of the quagmire even if they fall into the quagmire, they will be very embarrassed in the end.
If you are covered in mud and you can't take a bath in this sinkhole, you can only clean it automatically when you leave the space of the Necromantic Lake Treasure Land.
Every time the Awakened person shuttles through space, whether it is entering or leaving the spirit plane or entering and exiting the treasure space, the psionic particles will automatically gather to repair the injuries suffered by the awakened person, making them "look new" - this word is a bit inappropriate here, but it means that it is okay.
Psionic particles repair injuries while also cleansing the Awakened of the filth.
Based on this mechanism, every time Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi came back from the spirit world, they were actually clean and clean, and there was no dust on their bodies. They often choose to take a shower as soon as they return, mainly after fighting for their lives in the spirit world, to achieve mental relaxation and want to have a good rest.
The two of them bypassed the quagmire and were just about to continue walking, when suddenly Bai Xiaowen's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Wait, there is movement ahead, it seems that a living body is coming." ”
The surface of the mire trembled slightly, and a huge piece of silt moved sideways through the mist.
When they came closer, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi saw that there was some kind of silt, but a crab the size of a pot lid.
【Swamp Cancer (Level 5)】
[Race: Beast Species/Terrestrial Beasts]*
[Attributes: Strength 22, Agility 11, Constitution 18, Spirit 6]
[Skill 1: Mud Shell: The body of the swamp crab is covered with a thick mud shell, and the damage of the first attack taken by the same part is reduced by 90%, the damage of the second attack is reduced by 50%, and the damage of the third attack is reduced by 20%. After taking three hits on the same part, the mud shell falls off, and the damage reduction effect of that part disappears. If you take critical damage, it will also cause the mud shell to fall off in that part (no need to do it three times). 】
[Skill 2: Rampage: The Swamp Crab moves sideways to launch a charge, dealing moderate physical damage to the first enemy hit by the impact, and inflicting knockback.] 】
"What a big crab," Bai Xiaowen drooled a little, "This crab doesn't seem to be corroded by the yin qi ghost mist here, it should be edible." ”
"You know how to eat. ”
Li Shuyi drew her twin swords and rushed towards the swamp crab with small steps. Before the crab's rampage skill collided, Li Shuyi gently and skillfully made a wrong step, and then dodged the collision, crossed her two swords horizontally and vertically, and slashed out in two sections.
This kind of dodging skill is based on the suppression of agility attributes and combat specialties, and it is normal to dodge in the past, and it is abnormal if you can't dodge.
With a sneer, the twin swords slashed the swamp crab in the back.
One of the swords dealt 7 damage, and the second dealt more than 20 damage.
Obviously, this is the effect of the Swamp Crab's [Mud Shell] skill. Otherwise, with Li Shuyi's attack power, if you hit a level 5 ordinary monster, the damage value will not be lower than 50 points anyway.
"Try to attack the same point. Bai Xiaowen sent the detected information to Li Shuyi.
Li Shuyi nodded.
However, knowing is one thing, and it can be difficult to do. Fortunately, Li Shuyi's combat expertise and agility attributes were suppressed, and she gently slid a step to let the swamp giant crab's big ao attack, and went around to its side, and the longsword of her main hand flashed red light, stabbing the part of the previous attack again.
This time the damage is as high as 41 points, and obviously, the third attack on the same part will only be reduced by 20% of the damage.
The third attack caused the mud shell on the back of the swamp crab to shatter and peel off. Li Shuyi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and after a few swords, she chopped this mighty and domineering crab general into the sky.
"Speaking of which, I haven't tasted the taste of crabs with big pot lids......
Bai Xiaowen's foodie attribute attack - a good figure in another time and space is eaten. He rubbed his hands and circled the crab, but he still had a bit of a headache about how to deal with this big guy.
"Forget it, put it in the storage space first, and when you get back, find a professional to deal with it. The professional in Li Shuyi's mouth is naturally He Zhiqing, a life assistant who has learned psionic cooking.
Bai Xiaowen could only suppress his strong appetite and put away the corpse of the swamp crab.
The swamp crab didn't drop the treasure chest, but just gave Li Shuyi a few dozen psionic points.
The two of them walked around the quagmire and were attacked by two swamp crabs.
Bai Xiaowen summoned two skeleton sword shields to meet the attack, and he deliberately observed the effective mechanism of the [Absolon's Blood Essence Stone].
Obviously, the attack of the minted creature will not trigger the first skill of Bloodstone, "Blood Thirst", nor will it trigger the third skill "Killing Thirst".
Bai Xiaowen shot himself, and then found that half of the blood essence stone had a slight red halo lit up, and if he looked closely, there was also a number of stored health points, which was currently displayed as 9/97.
"Only my own attacks will trigger the skill of the Blood Essence Stone. After Bai Xiaowen confirmed this mechanism, he was a little regretful. If the minions can also trigger the Bloodstone skill, then they are truly invincible.
The two newly appeared swamp crabs, Bai Xiaowen did not let the summoned creatures attack, but just let the skeleton sword and shield hand carry it, and the output was all handed over to Bai Xiaowen to complete, mainly to store the first skill of the blood essence stone as soon as possible - the upper limit of 97 points of health of blood thirst.
After killing the two swamp crabs, the upper limit of the health stored by Bai Xiaowen's blood essence stone was 37/97.
Thundered.
There was a jolt, and a circle of cobweb-like cracks appeared in the quagmire, followed by a large amount of silt spraying out. Then, a snake's head emerged from the mud, followed by a second, a third.
A heavy sound of stepping on the ground sounded, and a mire multi-headed snake with three heads emerged from the quagmire, and walked towards Bai Xiaowen and the others with heavy steps.
This hydra monster, with its wide flippers, its seemingly bulky body stepped on the mud, but it only sank slightly. The three snake heads, all with slender snake necks, swing from side to side.
Bai Xiaowen hurriedly used insight.
【Swamp Hydra (Elite Level 6)】
[Race: Beast Species/Terrestrial Beasts]
[Attributes: Strength 31, Agility 23, Constitution 29, Spirit 14]
[Skill 1: Mud Shell: Omitted.] 】
[Skill 2: Tenacity: Passive, the swamp hydra will not trigger the instant kill effect when it is subjected to a vital attack.] 】
[Skill 3: Multi-headed Regeneration: Race passive, swamp hydra has multiple heads, each head has independent health. When a head's health is reset to zero, the head will regenerate quickly if other snakeheads are still present. Due to the presence of multiple heads, the maximum attack speed of the Swamp Hydra has been increased, but it needs to withstand the additional effects of the Disruptive effect. 】
After the third skill "Multi-head Regeneration", Bai Xiaowen also detected a specific description of the "Disruption" effect.
[Disturbance: The multiple heads of the swamp hydra have independent consciousness and compete for control of the subject, which will disturb each other, and the hit rate and evasion rate will be reduced. 】
"This disruption effect...... Well, I saw three passive monsters again......"
Bai Xiaowen thought of the voodoo giant corpse he had encountered in Yinfeng Gang before, which could be called a brain-dead monster.
Now it seems that the swamp hydra probably belongs to the type of brain-dead monster as well......
As usual, it is topped by the skeletal sword and shield hand. The skeleton sword shield hand that has been strengthened twice, at least the overall attributes now, are not worse than ordinary monsters at level 5, and the strength value has reached a high of 19 points, and it is still no problem to withstand the attack of the single head of the swamp hydra.
Only three of the six skeleton shieldmen were summoned, which was considered a sign of respect for the three heads of the swamp hydra.
Bai Xiaowen shot and shot, also in order to stack the upper limit of the health of the blood essence stone, he deliberately chose one head to attack, and did not care about the remaining two heads.
One of the swamp hydra's heads only has around 90 health and is quickly shattered. Then, not surprisingly, the tattered and bleeding head quickly swelled and formed a mass of sarcoma.
In about ten seconds, from the sarcoma, a hideous snake head was drilled out again, but compared to other snake heads, the color was lighter, more pink, and there was no protection from the mud shell skill.
Bai Xiaowen observed the changes in the health of the swamp hydra and found that the newly appeared snake head had 74 health points, a decrease of more than a dozen points compared to before.
"It takes 10 seconds for the skull to regenerate, and the maximum health of the skull is reduced after regeneration. Bai Xiaowen wrote down these two points of information, and then shot again, smashing the newborn snake's head.
The smashed head of the snake retracted into a sarcoma again, and ten seconds later, a new head appeared. This time, only 55 HP is left.
Bai Xiaowen tried more than a dozen times, and the attacks were all concentrated on a snake head, and each time it would regenerate, but the upper limit of health was getting lower and lower. In the end, the upper limit of the health of the new snake head is only 1 point, and if it is broken again, it will still be reborn, but the upper limit of health is fixed at 1 point and will not be reduced.
"An elite hydra, after a maximum of five rebirths, a head only has 1 health point left," Bai Xiaowen said to Li Shuyi, "Of course, there is not much pressure on the battle now, I am just doing experiments." In a real battle, you have to press the blood lines of all the heads at the same time, try to press all the blood to the residual blood, and then blow them all up within ten seconds. This is the correct way to play a swamp hydra. ”
Bai Xiaowen's attack turned to other snake heads, but the swamp hydra actually twisted its butt and chose to flee without any spine.
“666。 ”
Bai Xiaowen didn't expect it to escape, it seems that his intelligence is a little higher than that of the Voodoo Giant Corpse. However, it was impossible for Bai Xiaowen to let it escape, and with a move of his hand, a tall skeleton holding a two-handed sword appeared, and a sword slashed, blocking the path of the hydra.
This is Bai Xiaowen's new elite summoned creature, the Skeleton Warrior, whose strength value is not lower than that of the hydra, and it is unequivocally blocked it.
