Chapter 33: Ruins Monster
Pharmacist, from the name, it seems to be a profession of saving lives and healing the wounded.
However, on the contrary, this profession, especially when their strength is relatively low, can be said to have all the five poisons.
Healing potions and magic potions are not potions that can be used casually. If used too much, it will either cause cell failure or magic addiction.
And what are inferior magic potions, poison potions, corpse potions, black blood potions, vomiting potions, blood-refining potions, sleeping potions, laxatives, aphrodisiacs, etc., are the specialties of many pharmacists.
As for the magic potion master, not to mention that the magic potion master is roughly equivalent to the necromancer, various curse potions are frequent visitors in their crucibles.
Well, it’s not that they can’t make enhancement potions, but in most cases, their skills in making poisons are always better than those in making enhancement potions.
Even this situation seems to have not improved much when it comes to the alchemist stage.
Although Mu Hua doesn’t have much concept of alchemists, I heard that they also like to make some more dangerous magic stones.
Yes, that's right, potions are no longer enough for alchemists to toss around, they mainly play with stones, and can play with very expensive stones. . .
Between the broken rocks and low mountains, because there were too many trees and grasses in the area where goblins were concentrated earlier, Mu Hua's highly concentrated spirit was a bit overwhelmed, and at this time Mu Hua's hunting direction shifted to this area marked as the Orc Basin.
It can't be said to be exploration, because he was alone, Mu Hua's activities in the courtyard were mainly hunting monsters in some open areas.
For the time being, his requirements were not high, and his goal was to brush out the "Fishing Abyss".
After all, the monsters in the abyss that couldn't cast spells were more attractive to him, and in the courtyard, even if he encountered low-level monsters such as imps and gnolls, Mu Hua had no confidence to confront them head-on.
Lurking behind the bunker, about 300 meters ahead was a monster camp.
The reason why it is called a camp instead of a nest is that these monsters only use a ruined wall as a settlement, and there is no trace of construction here at all.
Ten gnolls, they are different from the werewolves of the demon species, about 1.5 meters tall, hunched, with dog heads and human bodies, and long yellow hair.
Gnolls are second-level monsters, with strength and speed similar to first-level goblins, but their weapons are a kind of cylindrical long-range shooting weapon, which can barely be considered a firearm.
Four pig-headed people, also second-level monsters. The waist is ten times bigger, the average height is two meters and a half, and the strong ones can grow to about three meters and a half. They have human bodies and animal hooves, just like their names, and a pig-shaped head on their short necks.
Although they are the existence with the lowest potential among the beastmen, these pig-headed people are full of brute force. If they are simply fighting with strength, the big goblins that Mu Hua encountered earlier can be beaten by them.
However, their movements are relatively clumsy. If the big goblins are given a decent sword, the pig-headed people will definitely die in a fight of equal numbers.
Several slimes wandering around like scavengers are like a lump of non-Newtonian fluid, naturally immune to low-level physical attacks, which is quite troublesome, but it poses almost no threat to humans who are on guard.
Mu Hua can deal with these three monsters head-on. With the cooperation of skeleton warriors, it is not too difficult to eliminate them if the pig-headed man is sniped from a distance first.
However, there are three little ghosts and two lizard-skinned monsters in this group of monsters, which is more troublesome.
They are demon species. Even if they are small fish among the lower-level demons, their intelligence and growth potential are far beyond that of ordinary low-level monsters. If they live long enough, the lower-level demons may even feed on some intermediate monsters.
Although the little ghosts are shorter than ordinary goblins, they not only have dagger-like claws, but also have the inheritance of fireball magic.
Due to the limitation of magic power, the little ghosts may not be able to cast fireballs, but they can basically master the fire-based imprinting magic.
As they grow up, it can be said that the imps who have spent their lives to familiarize themselves with fireball magic will not be too bad in fireball magic.
Corresponding to the imps with elemental spellcasting ability, the lizard monsters tend to fight in close combat. In addition to being thick-skinned and tough, as a second-level monster, they can naturally give themselves the benefit of "low-level acceleration".
Lizard monsters are used to using one-handed swords, and their attack methods are like those of dead swordsmen. It is very troublesome to be close to them.
Among the monsters in front of us, the number of imps and lizard monsters is small, and their bodies look very weak.
But the gnolls and pig-headed people in the ruins are dominated by the two.
Observing from a distance, the group of monsters in the ruins seem to be sharing a few dwarf orcs. The imps and lizard monsters tear off pieces of meat and occasionally throw them to the gnolls as rewards, just like feeding dogs.
The imps and lizard monsters prefer to eat internal organs, and the remaining bones and meat will be chewed and swallowed by the pig-headed people.
A terrible scene like wild beasts eating.
He asked Raven to check the surroundings again. When Mu Hua waved his hand, several skeleton warriors threw out the two black dogs that they had suppressed.
Once the restraints were removed, the two scarred black dogs fled towards the ruins while barking.
"Dog, go from the side." As Mu Hua said this, Zhou Yi trotted and lurked towards the ruins.
Mu Hua left a skeleton warrior to guard him, while the other five skeleton warriors chased the fleeing black dogs with their tails like crocodile tailbones, limiting their fleeing direction and ensuring that they reached the ruins where the monsters gathered.
The expressions of the two black dogs were much more ferocious than normal, and their speed was slower than that of ordinary black dogs.
The external injuries on their bodies were secondary, mainly because Mu Hua had injected them with painkillers and inferior magic potions.
What was Mu Hua going to do?
Poison them, inferior magic potions have a certain effect of disrupting the operation of magic power, and can also cause some low-level monsters to have physical pain and discomfort.
Mu Hua's firepower was still too weak. In order to avoid accidents, he needed to reduce the opponent's combat power as much as possible, and at least ensure that the little ghost could not cast spells.
"Ah~" The sudden appearance of the black dogs and the skeleton undead first caused the pig-headed man to scream.
The monsters on the ruins were in a commotion. The slime, which had almost no intelligence, was still twisting its body aimlessly. The gnoll, the imp, and the lizard-skinned monster picked up their weapons, stood up and looked at the five skeleton warriors.
Low-level beastmen are generally stupid, but the demons have a higher IQ.
The imp and the lizard-skinned monster looked around until the two black dogs and the skeleton warriors approached them within a hundred meters. They seemed to confirm that the black dogs were just chased by several skeleton warriors and accidentally escaped here.
The strange cry of "Gua La~Gua La~" came from the mouth of the imp.
Dark red skin, pointed ears and sharp teeth, the body shape is like a "handsome" version of the goblin. The imp had no weapons in his hand. Mu Hua found that the screaming imp was trying to persuade the black dog to surrender.
It probably meant that he was willing to rescue the black dog, and the black dog would listen to it in the future.
These low-level monsters are generally crazy, but they are different from lunatics and fools.
Seeing that little ghost spread his arms to show goodwill, trying to recapture the black dogs being chased, but the two black dogs had long been tortured by Mu Hua.
The painkillers and a large amount of inferior magic potions brought indescribable discomfort to the body, and the two black dogs were full of thoughts about avoiding the skeletons chasing them.
"Bang~" The red magic circle unfolded in front of a little ghost, a spark emerged from the magic circle, and the magic power gathered. In a blink of an eye, a fireball shot out with a gas explosion sound.
At a distance of dozens of meters, the fireball technique, which is not known for its speed in elemental magic, still hit a skeleton warrior with a fire tail afterimage. The flying speed of the fireball was only faster than the rocket launcher.
"Bang~" Sparks flew everywhere. The fireball technique did not have the characteristics of explosion, but the impact force still caused the skeleton warrior's bones to fly where it was attacked.
"Bear!" The hot flames spread all over the skeleton warrior's body, and in a blink of an eye the skeleton warrior turned into a flaming skeleton.
Burning, the fireball magic without the explosive property has the property of ignition.
Without sufficient magic resistance, it is impossible to eliminate the erosion of this fire element. No matter flesh, bones or steel, it will burn immediately.
"Hua La~!" Three seconds to cast, one or two seconds to attack, in less than five seconds, the skeleton warrior fifty meters away from the little ghost turned into a pile of broken bones in an instant, which can be said to be deader than dead under normal circumstances.
A direct attack elemental magic that seems to be extremely inconspicuous in low-level magic. The deterrent power of magic has never come from the romance of casting, but from their extremely lethal attack effects.
Happy New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year and everything goes well.
