Mercenaries and Adventurers

After Zhao Ji determined the method of combat, he quickly approached the slime monsters. Before they could react, he swung his dagger fiercely and pierced a slime monster.

Regardless of the random resistance of the slime monster who was strung on the short dagger, Zhao Ji backed up with his shield again, and withdrew to the other side of the island. Zhao Ji cannot be hit here with the slime monster's attack distance, but with the slime monster's poor movement speed, it will take a while to attack Zhao Ji again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created, Zhao Ji stabbed the slime monster in his hand several times to death, and threw it to the middle of the island.

He took another half-arc route, stabbed the injured slime monster that fell before, and threw it to the middle of the island.

"This is the fourth one tonight. Counting the previous two days, it is now six. Haha, I won the bet. Get back the betting money tomorrow morning." Under the helmet, Zhao Ji showed a smile on his face. With a big smile, he breathed evenly, and walked towards the two slime monsters just now.

The shield stands upright to block the scattered spit attacks of the slime monster. If you notice the spit, you can hide it if you can, and if you can't hide it, use the cloak of branches to resist it.

Fortunately, the slime monster's attacks are not all acid attacks, and strong viscous slime is also mixed in it. It's just that the slime monsters didn't know that their slime attacks didn't hurt Zhao Ji at all.

Select the slime monster that is within reach, stab through it with one dart, drag it backwards, and throw it behind after a few stab wounds.

Pushing the shield forward again, hooking the remaining one in the water on the bank and dragging it out. Before Zhao Ji could attack, several streams of slime monster spewed from the left, right, and behind him.

Zhao Ji blocked from left to right, resisting the slime monster's spit. I glanced around, and found at least a dozen slime monsters had climbed up. It turned out that when Zhao Ji was competing with the three slime monsters in front of him, more slime monsters had surrounded the island.

Several dead slime monsters in the middle of the island attracted more slime monsters from nearby. While Zhao Ji resisted, more slime monsters crawled out of the muddy water of the swamp, and they waved their tentacles angrily.

Zhao Ji under the rattan helmet was out of breath, but laughed happily. These slime monsters are coins in his eyes. Now there are more slime monsters, he has to retreat first, because the island is already surrounded by slime monsters, he can't hunt them down with so many slime monsters' spit attacks, he has to retreat along the tree path Go to the next island and lure as few slime monsters as possible to go with him.

With the light of the torches in the distance, Zhao Ji determined the northwest direction of the swamp, resisted and dodged all the way, Zhao Ji retreated to the tree path, the slime monsters near him all crawled towards him, and the slime far away from him The monsters waved their tentacles in the middle of the island and were incapable of fury, but they couldn't find their opponents.

Zhao Ji didn't dare to turn his back to the slime monsters. He turned his shield and faced the slime monsters, walking backward carefully. Because the path of trees under his feet was only made hastily by Zhao Ji, and it could only ensure that he would not sink into the mud of the swamp, so Zhao Ji stepped on every step steadily before taking the next step backwards.

The slime monsters chasing Zhao Ji didn't seem to like to crawl on the branches, they crawled along the sides of the tree path in the muddy water. By the moonlight, Zhao Ji probably saw the ripples caused by the slime monster crawling under the muddy water. When they crawled, they would extend one of their tentacles to the surface of the water to confirm Zhao Ji's position, which was also good, so that no slime monsters would attack him.

To be honest, if Zhao Ji didn't want to lure them to the next island, he would have already run away because of the speed at which the slime monsters were crawling in the muddy water. After all, it wasn't yesterday. Yesterday when he was chased by the slime monster, it was because he was wading in the mud of the swamp. Today he was walking on the paved tree path, and his speed was incomparable.

Zhao Ji took the time to look at his shield. The surface of the pot cover and shield was scarred, but unexpectedly, it was not as serious as Zhao Ji imagined. A lot of sticky slime covered the surface of the shield. These slimes replaced the wood on the shield surface and were corroded by acid.

Ha, I didn't expect such a good thing, these slime monsters seem to spit more sticky slime than acid. The sticky goo is dangerous to furry animals or unsheltered humans, but nothing to Zhao Ji, who is wearing a cloak of branches.

He had retreated to the next swampy island at this time, and there were no slime monsters here yet. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Ji checked the condition of the equipment he was wearing.

Not to mention the shield, the situation is fine. The condition of Duan Ge's dagger blade was not very good. It was corroded by the acid in the slime monster's body, causing the surface of the dagger blade to turn yellow, but the situation was not serious. After all, it took very little time to pierce the slime monster each time.

As for the rattan helmet, Zhao Ji touched it, but there was no damage. After all, compared with the slime monster, the human head is still too high, and their attack height is Zhao Ji's chest, back and legs. The situation of the branch cloak is not very good. In some places, the outer layer of branches has been corroded. Fortunately, the inner layer of leaves has blocked further acid corrosion. As for the sticky slime, these things actually strengthened Zhao Ji's cloak of branches, which Zhao Ji did not expect. The place where the mucus was stained earlier, let the warm wind of the swamp blow, it turned out to be strong and hard, and the branches and leaves were very sticky.
