Chapter 105 - 102: Frost Slime

Black-striped Crocodile, Level 4 ordinary monster, with quite high physical defense, magic defense, and health, it’s somewhat tough to fight, but there are obvious weaknesses.You can’t expect a crocodile’s short legs to run as fast as a rabbit.

Once these guys get on land, their speed is relatively slow.

The only troublesome thing is, there’s quite a number of crocodile monsters.

"We didn’t come to this godforsaken place just to show love to crocodile old brother," Hang Yu said to Husky, "Go, finish them quickly."

Er Gou immediately commanded the dog pack to attack.

Fifteen wild dogs crazily pounced on the crocodiles that had come ashore. Although the individual strength of the wild dogs is significantly lower than that of the black-striped crocodiles, how could the crocodiles on land compare to the mobility of the wild dogs?

Five or six crocodiles that had come ashore were immediately trapped by the dog pack.

No matter how thick-skinned the crocodile is, they are, after all, just ordinary monsters. How could they withstand a Level 4 Bright White Weapon Skeleton Crossbow?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Da da da!

The crocodiles fell one by one.

The whole process was easy and smooth.

However, two wild dogs were unable to evade the crocodile’s tail swipe during the entanglement, one was severely injured on the spot, and the other was directly knocked into the river and torn to pieces.

The dog pack suffered casualties again!

But it didn’t really matter.

This group of wild dogs were originally cannon fodder.

Hang Yu wasn’t a bit regretful about the loss of the wild dogs, his only regret was that there was no Spiritual Qi to earn from killing monsters in the real world. Otherwise, with the current method of killing, he would have accumulated dozens of Spiritual Qi by now!

The dog pack forged the path.

Hang Yu harvested.

Moving downstream along the underground river.

Occasionally, Hang Yu would do some collecting and acquire some high-quality crocodile materials, including food ingredients like crocodile legs and tails, as well as crafting materials like crocodile skin.

Crocodile food ingredients could be sent directly to restaurants.

Crocodile skin could be used to make equipment.

However, Hang Yu’s storage space was nearly full, and although these crocodile materials were of good quality, he didn’t plan to collect them in large quantities. He and Husky quickly forged ahead.

"Here!"

"This is the place!"

Husky ran to a narrow tunnel and called out.

"I hate playing maze games the most in my life," Hang Yu felt completely disoriented and had no idea where he was, "Are you sure it’s in here?"

"Awooo, I, the mighty dog, am willing to stake my head on this. We are less than 800 meters away from the treasure, but I also caught the scent of many monsters... It looks like it won’t be easy to get the treasure."

"Monsters gathering near Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is quite common."

Hang Yu was mentally prepared for this in advance.

Fortunately, the monster levels were not too high so far.

This natural tunnel led to an open area, covered with a large number of fluorescent mushrooms and glowing Spirit Realm vines, accumulating a pool from the underground river, making the muddy ground along the shore somewhat swamp-like.

Dozens of Slimes of varying sizes were scattered about the area.

The pool was full of black-striped crocodiles disguised as deadwood.

"Never thought Slimes and black-striped crocodiles actually live together like one big happy family under the same roof."

"Awoo, Boss, there’s an Elite Monster!"

One exceptionally noticeable Slime stood out.

Slimes typically appeared as green jelly-like creatures, but this unique Slime was blue, its size comparable to a mature bull, enveloped in cold air, giving off a very dangerous vibe.

This blue Slime is a variant among Slimes.

The Frost Slime is a difficult Elite Monster.

Hang Yu frowned slightly, his gaze swept across the field, indeed spotting some decent herbs and minerals, but nothing reaching treasure level. Could Er Gou’s radar be malfunctioning?

"Awoo, Boss, you may doubt my dog character, but not my dog nose," Er Gou put on a serious face, "Our dog’s most proud and important organ is our nose, just like certain organs on men, and its performance is beyond question."

"But I don’t see any treasure?"

"I think the treasure has its dignity; if we found it easily, it’d be embarrassing, wouldn’t it? But rest assured, Boss, no matter how well-hidden it is, it’s useless against me, the Divine Dog."

Er Gou pointed towards a cave half-submerged in water.

So concealed, if not pointed out by the dog, no ordinary person would find it. Hang Yu locked his gaze and noticed the faint light emitted from within the cave, different from the fluorescent mushrooms.

"That said."

"Boss, are you sure you want to take it?"

"This place looks so dangerous!"

Hang Yu nodded, "The blue Slime is a Level 3 Bronze Elite Monster, and there are quite a few Slimes and crocodiles nearby, it is indeed a bit tricky."

"Awoo, in that case, how about we come back for it next time!"

"Now that we’re here, there’s no reason to leave empty-handed. Though tricky, it’s not unmanageable," Hang Yu told the Husky Spirit, "Frost Slimes have very high ice resistance, my crossbow can’t harm it. This time, we’ll change tactics."

Hang Yu gave a few instructions to Er Gou.

Husky nodded its dog head, howled a long call, and instantly a dozen wild dogs darted out. Once down there, they split into two teams, one to distract the crocodile monsters from behind and the other to distract the ordinary Slimes.

Creating an opportunity for Hang Yu to deal with the Frost Slime!

Hang Yu approached the Frost Slime directly, testing with the Skeleton Crossbow, and as expected, it didn’t inflict any damage.

The blue Slime retaliated immediately.

Its gelatinous body began to glow.

Cold air started to diffuse in all directions.

The blue Slime was enveloped in ice-cold air wherever it went, the ground began to freeze, covering a large area.

Monsters like wild dogs, if they got too close, would immediately become ice sticks.

So, combating the Frost Slime, one couldn’t use the Group Dog Entanglement Skill.

Once it was drawn in, Hang Yu continually retreated, not giving it a chance to close in. After all, Slimes counter Combat Professionals, and he’d be no match in melee.

With his left hand, he threw a ball of Energy Mucus at the Slime.

His right hand drew a Flying Knife, not an ordinary knife, but a Low-level Secret Fire Flying Knife bought from the Corpse Witch Alchemy Stele, carrying 1 point of fire attribute damage!

Hang Yu flung the Flying Knife almost instantly.

The blade ignited spontaneously.

The Flying Knife shot into the Energy Mucus, instantly igniting into a blazing Fireball, slamming into the Frost Slime, producing a sound of ice and fire fusion.

Dude can cast Fireball Technique too!

Hang Yu seemed to transform into a Magic Professional.

One after another, counterfeit Fireball Techniques were continually thrown out.

The Frost Slime’s mobility was not strong, and it was unlikely to catch up with Level 4 Hang Yu, so it could only take hits passively as one burning Fireball after another bombarded its body.

The Frost Slime began to melt and shrink!

The other Slimes attempted to merge with the Frost Slime but were all held back by the wild dog mini squads sent by Er Gou, leaving the Frost Slime increasingly weak.

In the end.

It stopped struggling.

Its entire body glowed as it violently collapsed inward.

Seeing this, Hang Yu immediately shouted to Er Gou, "Dog, find cover. It’s about to use ’Ice Self-Destruction’!"

The human and the Husky took shelter behind a rock.

The blue Frost Slime exploded, instantly releasing dozens of ice cones and arrows, along with a massive cold wave, encompassing almost all other Slimes, black-striped crocodiles, and even wild dogs within its range.

Its power was truly astonishing!
