Chapter 103 - 100: Slime in the Labyrinth

Er Gou’s skills are indeed useful.He can forcibly control canine creatures!

However, the premise for control is that the opponent must be weaker than himself.

As for why success didn’t come at first? Because there was an elite monster wandering nearby, and the elite monster was stronger than Er Gou, which led to the failure of control!

After Hang Yu killed this standout and took care of a few level 2 dogs.

The other Spirit Realm wild dogs were immediately controlled by Erha.

Hang Yu believes the skill will improve with level, evolving as Erha continues to evolve.

In the future, the number and strength of canine monsters that can be controlled will grow, and perhaps after evolving to a certain extent, it will no longer be limited to canine monsters.

"Er Gou, how are you feeling now?"

"I have already controlled this group of bumpkins, but they don’t listen as well as the little brothers in the alley," Er Gou barked: "Aw, their brains aren’t good, boss, stay close to me, otherwise you might get attacked."

Erha can only control wild dogs.

He cannot tame them.

The two are completely different concepts.

The former is temporary control, requiring continuous skill output to maintain it, while the latter is complete control, obeying commands without needing to trigger skills.

One person and Erha targeted several packs of wild dogs again.

They repeated their tactics to subdue the packs, ultimately gathering up to eighteen Spirit Realm wild dogs.

They could not gather more.

This was Dog’s current limit.

If the number exceeded this, the extra wild dogs would drop out and escape; in any case, the number always remained around eighteen or nineteen.

"Aw, boss, do I look like a Wolf King now?" The Husky lifted its head proudly, "With so many bumpkin henchmen, whatever I tell them to do, they have to do it."

While speaking.

It barked twice.

The eighteen hench-dogs moved, forming an S-shape, then a B-shape.

Although it was more of a hassle compared to using stray dogs in the alley, the effect was just the same.

Er Gou was very satisfied.

"With these eighteen dog legs and my masterful knowledge of The Art of War, even a level 3 elite monster is something I can take down for you!"

"Stop pretending to be a big bad wolf here, you’re just a henchman leader, and a very timid one at that." Hang Yu reprimanded the Husky: "In the end, you’re still too weak; if your strength were a bit better, I think you could control more than just these few!"

Although he said so.

Hang Yu was still satisfied.

The eighteen agile wild dogs under Er Gou’s control.

Even Hang Yu would take considerable risks if he fought them.

With such abilities.

There will be much more to do in the future.

"Aw, boss, are we taking this group of bumpkins back with us?" The Erha Spirit suddenly thought of a problem: "This might attract a lot of attention, and I still can’t fully control them."

Of course, they can’t be taken back.

What if they hurt someone?

The exaggerated scene of a group of dogs marching might not have been seen by many, as the area is quite secluded, and there are not many people wandering nearby. At this moment, Hang Yu is leading the Husky into the nearby Jinyin Port Subway Station.

The subway in Jiang City has become the entrance to the underground labyrinth.

The scale of the underground labyrinth is quite astonishing, filled with all sorts of monsters, and it has more and richer resources than the surface. At this stage, due to the lack of strength, few citizens dare to enter the subway station.

Jinyin Port Subway Station is also so remote.

The possibility of encountering others here is very small.

"Aw, boss, be careful, there’s a strange monster on the stairs!" The Erha Spirit suddenly barked.

Hang Yu looked over.

The subway steps clearly had nothing.

If it weren’t for Dog’s warning, he might have just walked over.

But Er Gou has a passive skill of "Divine Dog Instinct," so the dog’s nose must be right. Upon closer inspection, he indeed noticed something odd.

The stairs were covered with vines.

Hang Yu’s vision was obstructed by these things.

Only after Dog’s reminder did he discover that some strange liquid was flowing.

They appeared gelatinous, gathering and merging into a "lump" of a monster.

"What is this thing? Is it a monster?" Er Gou shouted: "Aw, I learned something new today — the unit of measurement for monsters isn’t just one or a head, but also a pool or a lump."

Hang Yu replied: "It’s a Slime."

Slimes are very common and widespread low-level monsters.

Almost every large city can be found with such creatures.

Their attributes are relatively weak, but they are quite troublesome to deal with.

Liquid monsters have the characteristic of reducing or even being immune to physical damage.

Resolving a level 2 Slime with direct attacks is more strenuous and taxing than dealing with a level 4 normal monster.

The Slime had transformed from a pool into a lump, akin to glowing green jelly. It wasn’t very strong, moved slowly, and was relatively sluggish in reaction, with the ability to spray corrosive acid. Although the damage was decent, it was easy to dodge.

As long as he wasn’t surrounded by a large number of Slimes, there wouldn’t be any danger with his current skills.

"This kind of monster is exactly what I’m looking for this time."

"Let my ferocious canine special team handle it!"

"No need, Slimes have low health and weak defense, but they can greatly reduce physical attacks. Using physical attacks makes it difficult to kill them."

The Husky was a bit frustrated.

Finally, asuming the role of Commander, willing to lead the Eighteen Arhats into a massive battle, he hadn’t expected to encounter this kind of monster!

"Don’t worry, your hench-dogs have their uses." Hang Yu drew out the Frost Skeleton Crossbow, spending a hefty nine White Crystals for it, "Let me handle this one right now!"

The Spirit Realm Tax for a level 4 Bright White Crossbow is so damn expensive!

How rare are White Crystal Stones? As they say, rarity is precious, and the nine White Crystals are worth at least over twenty million at present market value!

It’s all an investment!

Slime materials are extremely useful.

This investment will be tenfold or twentyfold in the future.

Hang Yu knew that dealing with Slimes must be done with attribute attacks, but preferably not fire attribute attacks.

Although fire attributes can cause significant damage to Slimes, when a Slime is killed with a fire attribute attack, its internal materials will automatically dissolve, making them uncollectable.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three Crossbow Arrows shot out.

The arrowheads gleamed with frost-white light.

The three arrows swiftly and cleanly dispatched the Slime.

The Skeleton Crossbow can fire three arrows in succession, both its attack frequency and output capability are far superior to the Goblin Crossbow, Blackwood Crossbow, and such inferior equipment.

The shattered body of the Slime was filled with small ice shards, still exuding cold air... full testimony to the power of the Frost Skeleton Crossbow!

"Aw, boss, this equipment is incredible!"

The Erha Spirit expressed extreme shock.

Hang Yu used the Collection Skill on the Slime’s body.

The Slime’s corpse was enveloped in a glow, then gradually evaporated into a mist of light, condensing into a green liquid wrapped in a membrane.

With this material in hand.

Hang Yu showed a look of excitement.

Good, very good, with this thing, dealing with the Wild Boarman will be much easier.
