The age of great voyages

Chapter 204 The Mutated Aberration

The area outside the wheat field was deserted, and there were not as many weeds as before. The view was wide, but it was not suitable for riding horses. A group of people emerged from the wheat field and followed the blood trails left by the kobolds and goblins, chasing them up to a slope and into a gravel forest. At first glance, there were piles of rubble two or three people high, and the blood stains disappeared into the pile of rubble.

"Everyone be careful!"

Hupo reminded his teammates in a low voice, and walked in first, holding the big sword tightly, and the other team members left and right, with Lin Chen following at the end.

Entering the gravel forest, as if entering a forest, the vision is blocked by the piles of rubble that are two or three people high, and you can't see the outside. Going around the piles of rubble and entering inside, you soon find a kobold dead on the ground. Enter some, kobolds or goblin corpses began to appear one after another, and at the same time some strange smells began to appear in the void.

Lin Chen sniffed it. This smell was somewhat familiar, similar to the smell of decay and decay, mixed with a strong smell of blood, like the feeling of an old corpse suddenly reappearing in the sky, which made people feel faint heart palpitations.

Others don't have such a strong sense of spirituality as him, but they can vaguely feel something is wrong, Tiger Soul frowned, reminding everyone to be careful again, and run away immediately if the situation is wrong.

At this moment, there was a scream of kobolds and goblins in front of them. The sound was miserable. A group of people rushed up and walked around a pile of two pieces of rubble. The open space seems to be a settlement of kobolds and goblins, but at this time the settlement has turned into a place of blood, and a [-]-meter-high kobold covered in muscle tumors is frantically killing ordinary kobolds and goblins.

This thing seems to be an aberrant species, mutated from a kobold. The muscles all over the body swelled and turned into black sarcoids. The teeth and the yellow water like yellow pus dripped from the tip of the teeth to the ground, and a drop of yellow smoke floated up. This saliva is extremely corrosive.

"Kill him."

Tiger Soul rushed forward without saying a word, and with a stride of three meters, it slashed head-on with a sword. The aberrant body reacted quickly, crossed its arms covered with tumors to block the sword, and the price paid was only It was the sarcoma that was broken open, and yellow blood oozes out of it, flowing out like latex and solidifying quickly. Sarcoma, so it turns out that this is how so many sarcoids on its body come from.

The others didn't dare to be careless, they spread out to surround and attack fiercely, Lin Chen also followed and slashed his thick calf with a sword, the sword only cut a finger-thick hole like cutting on tough rubber, The oozing pus coagulates and turns into melanosarcoma again.

"This guy"

Lin Chen was speechless. None of them could break through this defense. It was too difficult to defeat.

Among the three, Tiger Soul, the strongest of the three, hit the target with three swords in a row, but it only broke through the muscles but could not cut into the body, as if the muscles were tough rubber, and the bones inside were steel, and every time he was injured, This guy's size will increase a little bit, and he doesn't know where the proliferating sarcoma comes from.

Fortunately, this guy's own fighting skills and experience are too poor, he can only swing his fist vigorously and smash it loudly, and the swing of his fist is like a mace or hammer, the momentum is astonishing.

A warrior climbed onto a two-person pile of rubble, and when the deformed body came over, he slashed down from the sky. A sword stuck to the deformed body's head and deeply cut into the shoulder, and the entire ten-centimeter-wide blade was embedded in the in.

But this guy raised his head as if he was okay, his muscles quickly bulged to clamp the big sword, and he punched the soldier. Lin Chen was beside him, and he heard a crisp 'crack' sound of bones breaking, and saw it with his own eyes. His chest collapsed, and he bounced and hit the rubble pile at super fast speed, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

The monster rushed forward with the sword tips of the two warriors, bit the warrior's neck and pulled it. The large piece of skin, muscles and bones were all bitten and swallowed. With a big bite, the faint blood lighted up, and the blood on the warrior's body poured out. It surged up and poured directly into the monster's mouth.

"Fuck, extraordinary power!"

Tiger Soul and everyone were stunned for a moment, their faces were even more ugly and with a trace of fear, someone said:

"Captain, the extraordinary power of this thing is no longer something we can fight against. Do you want to withdraw and let the guild masters kill it?"

Hu Po gritted his teeth, shouted "Retreat", and quickly backed away while holding his sword.

He is considered a qualified captain. He did not act impulsively just because his teammates died. He shouted for revenge even though he knew he was losing. As a result, all the team members died. Such a captain is an unqualified captain.

Of course Lin Chen had to run. Although he had the hole cards, but this time he wanted to rely on his own efforts to practice. The best situation is of course to be solved by himself.

The monster devoured the blood very fast. It took less than 30 seconds to suck all the blood from a person's body. The turbidity in his eyes disappeared a lot, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the big sword on his shoulder and pulled it out. He fiddled with it a few times like holding a toy, and suddenly held the hilt of the sword with one hand and slashed downwards, a blow of air pressure blowing on the ground. When there is sand and dust, it can make a sword.

Turning his head to look in the direction they were fleeing, the muscles on the aberration monster's face twisted, revealing a ferocious face, and strode after it.

Hupo and the others quickly ran to the edge of the gravel forest, he suddenly stopped and said:

"We can't just leave, otherwise the village will be slaughtered by this monster."

A teammate said:
"But we can't kill the monster."

"It can be killed."

Amber took off the backpack on his back, took out a small jar from it and said:

"Bring all your oil."

Each of them has a small can of kerosene, which can be used to burn something besides lighting a fire in the wild. It’s not much for one person, but it’s quite a lot if five people get together, maybe.
Tiger Soul collected all the fire oil from everyone and said:
"Wait, if the monster chases after it, put kerosene on it and burn it with fire. This guy has a lot of fat on his body, so he might burn to death."

Then he gave a few quick instructions on how to use the terrain on the side, and when he heard the sound of heavy footsteps in the pile of rubble, he immediately raised his sword and stood ready.

Soon the deformed body rushed out, and everyone was stunned when they saw the sword in his hand. Lin Chen was also a little surprised that this guy had such a strong learning ability. According to the speed of this distortion and this learning ability, he will definitely be able to learn in the future. It was a big hidden danger, and he was already thinking that if no one could handle it, would he call his subordinates to come out and hammer it to pieces?

"Go!"

Amber rushed forward without hesitation and slashed down with a sword to attract the monster's attention, and the others immediately rushed up and poured the oil from the fire oil tank on the monster.

Many film and television dramas have the same operation, smashing the oil tank directly to break the oil and pour it out, but in fact, it is more likely that the oil tank will pop out and smash on the ground, so it must be risky to pour it out.

Under the frontal temptation of Tiger Soul, the others were only responsible for pouring oil and did not attack. The monster didn't care and just slashed wildly with its sword. Strength, this guy's strength is estimated to exceed ten points.

That is to say, this monster's IQ is too low, and he has never learned any swordsmanship. If it is a professional of level five or above with a physical fitness of more than ten points, it will condense its energy into a sharp sword energy with one sword, and it will be able to cut it from a distance. They cut in half.

After all the fire oil fell down, Hu Po finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his subconscious sigh of relief made him move a little slower. The aberrant body's swift sword did not have time to avoid it, and was directly in front of him. The big sword was cut into two pieces, and the remaining force was slashed from Hu Po's shoulder. There was a crisp 'click' sound, an arm flew out, and blood flowed to the ground. Hu Po screamed, covered his shoulder and retreated.

At this moment, Lin Chen, who moved the fastest, ignited the torch and threw it on the deformed body from behind. The kerosene burned and spread immediately. In less than three seconds, the deformed body turned into a huge torch and rushed back and forth. Roaring is palpitating.

Everyone dragged Amber to the side, watching from a distance that the flames on the deformed body were getting stronger and stronger. After the tough sarcoma was boiled, the yellow pus quickly gushed out and turned into gelatinous flesh, but the newborn gelatinous flesh It seems to be a good fuel, and it burns directly to make the fire more vigorous.

The body of the aberrant swelled wildly, giving birth to new sarcoma and growing up, but the new sarcoid instead fueled the flames, making the flames more and more intense, and quickly swallowed it completely and turned it into a huge fireball that bumped back and forth.

The monster persisted for almost 5 minutes before the fireball slowly shrunk until it finally burned to nothing, leaving only ashes on the ground.

The moment the monster died, Lin Chen also received the news that up to [-] potential points had been earned. Although the kerosene belonged to everyone, he was the one who ignited the fire in the end, so there was a gain of potential points.

I don't know what this thing is, but it can provide him with up to [-] potential points in one breath. Just by improving the basic swordsmanship, he can rise up to [-] levels in a row. .

Just got up, Tiger Soul suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, help me to take a look at the monster's corpse."

Everyone thought that he wanted to look at the monster's corpse again for peace of mind, helped him over, stood in front of a small pile of ashes for a while, Hu Po's face suddenly flashed an unnatural blush, pushed everyone away and came to the pile of ashes, He kicked the black ash away with his feet, and a stone rolled out.

But Lin Chen soon discovered that it was not a stone, but a crystal like a blood-red crystal. Tiger Soul picked up the crystal and said:
"Take this thing back to the guild to see what it is."

Everyone didn't care, they helped Hu Po to leave.

When they returned to the village, they did not leave, and asked one of them to report to the guild, while the others stayed temporarily in the village with amber, and brought some medicine to bandage the wound.

Amber's arm is useless, and it is impossible to connect it with the medical methods of this world. This is an unacceptable sad news for a powerful warrior. See him sitting at the door with a depressed attitude and staring at the sky blankly. Without moving, Lin Chen also sighed.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb him, let him be quiet for a while, and it would be best if he could figure it out by himself, and they couldn't help it.

When it got dark, Lin Chen sat cross-legged on the bed in the room arranged by the villagers. In front of him was the attribute panel that popped up. He now has [-] potential points, and he can strengthen the two basic sword skills to a total of [-] layers in one go. According to the rules of this world, The division of power levels, if he specializes in one kind of swordsmanship, it is estimated that his strength can reach the third level or even the fourth level.

Thinking of what happened to Tiger Soul today, Lin Chen felt that it is better to practice both. Tiger Soul is specialized in barbaric swordsmanship. It has strong physique and strength but not high agility. If it encounters a powerful enemy that cannot match its own strength, it will be slaughtered by others. Damn, a strong fighter cannot have obvious weaknesses.

A little potential point was invested in the bull sword, and it was digested in less than a minute, and the physical strength increased a little.

After waiting for 1 minute, I invested a little more potential in the Bull Sword Technique, and strengthened it a little bit again.

Now the strengthening range is not large, and it can be strengthened continuously. Even if it strengthens ten layers in one breath, it can continue after only a few hours of rest.

According to his estimation, the speed of strengthening may slow down after reaching [-] layers, but the speed was still very fast before that.

It took more than two hours to strengthen the barbarian swordsmanship to a full [-] layers, and it took another two hours to strengthen the blue wolf swordsmanship to [-] layers. By midnight, all potential points were exhausted, and his physical fitness was once again. Soaring, has surpassed Amber.

Lin Chen, the projection of the descendant.

Lineage: Purebred human.

Attributes: Constitution 6.25, Strength 8.25, Agility 4.75, Perception 1, Charisma 1, Intelligence 3, Spirit 2
According to the division of power in this world, if an attribute exceeds seven points, it can be regarded as a fourth-level fighter. Lin Chen's strength exceeds eight points, which is less than two points away from the ten points of a fifth-level fighter.

A fourth-level warrior is already the most powerful warrior near Xiwei Town. Even the president of the Azure Guild is only at this level. If he can reach a fifth-level warrior, he will have a general strong title - knight, or sword division.

After exhausting all the potential points and greatly increasing his strength, Lin Chen patted his chest and felt relieved. With his current strength, if he encounters that deformed body again, it will be difficult to kill him. The main reason is that he does not have good weapons. With a high-quality sword, he is sure to kill this aberration.

Lin Chen decided to wait until the end of this patrol and set off for Tavi Port, where the Adventurer's Guild will accept some tasks to earn some money and get a piece of good equipment, at least a high-quality two-handed sword, otherwise he will encounter such a potential but rich The hard-to-kill monsters can only look forward to it and feel depressed.

I slept very comfortably for one night, but when I woke up the next day, I heard a 'bang bang' knocking on the door. I opened it and saw another team member named Hu Chang. He said solemnly:

"Someone died in the village at night."

Lin Chen said strangely:

"What happened to the dead in the village?"

Hu Chang turned around and left:

"You can come and see with me."
