MTL - Mercenaries and Adventurers-Chapter 37 , the swamp - both sides of the hunter and the hunted
The slime monster moved slowly towards the jumping frog, and its tentacles made Zhao Ji's unexpected movements.
The slime monster's tentacles slowly swayed, and the top part of the tentacles slowly emitted green spots that flickered regularly. Zhao Ji didn't expect the slime monster to be able to emit light. Although it was only a little bit, it was beyond Zhao Ji's imagination.
What is the light-emitting principle of this slime monster? Is it similar to the principle of glowing fireflies, just when Zhao Ji was thinking about it. The slime monster's tentacles gradually increased its swing speed, and with the glowing spots on the top, it looked like a hovering glowing flying insect.
A smile leaked from the corner of his mouth. Zhao Ji saw the slime monster's hunting strategy. He didn't expect it to be so clever, using the prey's habits and biological abilities to set up traps, and hunting on the sidelines.
Sure enough, what happened next was as Zhao Ji expected. The jumping frog stopped its cry and stared at the top of the slime monster's tentacles. Suddenly, the jumping frog stuck out its long tongue. Zhao Ji didn't see clearly the moment the jumping frog hit the tongue.
The jumping frog's tongue accurately stuck to the slime monster's waving tentacles, but it didn't know that this was its dead end. It was not flying insects that stuck to the frog's tongue, but sinister monsters.
It's not just the tongue of the jumping frog that is sticky, the tentacles of the slime monster also release strong sticky mucus, and use its own weight advantage to retract the tentacles into the body and pull the jumping frog over.
At this time, the jumping frog has realized that something is wrong, and tries to jump up and escape. But it forgot that its tongue was still stuck. As the distance between the two drew closer, the slime monster extended multiple tentacles from the side facing the jumping frog. These tentacles attach to the jumping frog and pull it towards itself, before sucking the frog whole into the slime monster's body.
"Successful hunting. Excellent strategy." Zhao Ji thought silently. Then he carefully raised his dagger, and suddenly took a step forward, swiping it down forcefully.
The dagger on the tip of Ge reflected the silvery moonlight, and under Zhao Ji's careful aiming, he pierced the slime monster completely.
The slime froze for a moment, then stretched out multiple tentacles and swayed around.
Seeing such a struggling movement of the slime monster, Zhao Ji was afraid that it would spray acid everywhere, so he swung the Ge vigorously, and threw the slime monster hard into the middle of the rare land in this swamp.
The slime monster that was thrown to the ground got rid of the piercing attack, opened its pierced place to the maximum at once, and spit out the two jumping frogs it had preyed on earlier.
One jumping frog has been corroded to expose a lot of skeletons, and the other jumping frog that has just swallowed a large area of skin has been corroded, but it is still very energetic. Panicked, it jumped far away go.
Zhao Ji ignored the leaping frog that was jumping and fleeing, spotted the slime monster's position, and waved the dagger in his hand again without making a sound.
The slime monster, which was rushing to escape, was stabbed in half again. This time, the slime monster swelled a bit, and then retracted, and a large amount of translucent liquid flowed out from the two previous wounds.
"Huh?" Zhao Ji felt strange. With just these two strokes, did the slime monster die? Or is this the slime monster's play-death strategy.
In line with the principle of caution, Zhao Ji withdrew his spear and swung it again to pierce the slime monster. This time the slime monster didn't move at all, and it seemed that it was really dead. Zhao Ji washed Ge with swamp water for a while, and briefly wiped the dagger blade on Ge with the leaves of plants in the swamp.
He knelt down to examine the slime monster's body carefully.
Since this slime monster is not big, it is incomparable with the one that was hunted in the afternoon, so Zhao Ji fiddled with the slime monster's body with a snake stick to see if it hurt some weak point of the slime monster just now~www.novelbuddy .com~ But before Zhao Ji took a closer look under the moonlight, the surrounding swamp gradually quieted down from a distance.
The frogs stopped chirping, the flying insects landed on the swamp plants, and the nocturnal birds flying around in the sky also landed on the low trees in the distance. Looking at this side, even the noisy swamp water is calm down.
Zhao Ji paused for a moment, and gradually felt that his hair exploded as the swamp slowly calmed down, and goosebumps stood up on his hands and arms.
Something is wrong! Zhao Ji thought about it, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, I feel like I'm being watched by something! What it was he didn't know.
Zhao Ji slowly changed his body from a squatting position to a half squatting position, and the snake driving stick in his hand passed through the wound of the slime monster he had just hunted, and strung it up. He holds a stick with a slime monster in his left hand, and a dagger in his right hand. His back is slightly arched, and his head is swinging as his eyes look left and right.
Zhao Ji noticed that there were things swimming slowly in the swamp not far away, on the right, on the left, and in front. Turning around and looking at the water behind, there are also, but not many.
I don't know how many there are, but what it is, Zhao Ji almost guessed it after thinking about it.
It's a slime monster.
But there were so many of them that he was surrounded.
He should have guessed it a long time ago, how did the slime monsters communicate with each other without a mouth to scream?
It should be something like a scent pheromone that humans can't feel. The slime monster that was hunted by Zhao Ji just now should have released this kind of thing.
It's hard to talk about the slime monsters in the swamp south of the city now, at least the slime monsters in the field of vision should be surrounded.
what to do?
