Chapter 41 - Hope is Brewing, Swamp Poison Frog

The chubby little cutie was shy, but still flew back to the starry vines in the north, turning into a stream of light and merging into them.

Then Li Erneng felt clusters of life energy gathering within the vines.

There are a total of 34 regiments.

It's really amazing.

After giving birth to her baby, the vine fairy quickly flew out again.

He looked much more relaxed.

Their faces were flushed, and they were all a little embarrassed to look at Lear.

Li Erwan'er.

I wanted them to get some rest, but these little ones dashed off to continue cultivating the Starry Sky Vines.

Moreover, it was noticeable that the speed at which the vine fairy could mobilize magic had increased considerably.

These lives are truly amazing.

In this way, a new vine fairy will be born after only six months.

On the other hand, the Bubble Beast only needs two months.

The addition of these two important strategic forces would be a major boon for Wei Lu City.

The following day, August 12, Lear led his team on another hunting trip.

At the same time, Bain was instructed to send a group of swamp people to search for Black Dragon Broadleaf Grass.

As swamp creatures, the swamp people are just as familiar with the swamp as the wetland lizardmen; they are simply not as powerful as these ferocious creatures.

They also have their own way of surviving, avoiding risks and finding food, which are skills they learn from childhood and have long since become instincts.

Without the protection of the wetland lizardmen, the risks are increased, but the mission can still be carried out.

Continue searching northwards today.

The ruins occupied by the stinking giant monster will not show any signs until the 15th. He went to explore the surrounding area to eliminate any hidden threats, which would make things easier when the time came.

More importantly, the potential of the Wetland Lizardman only needs one final step to be enhanced!

Lear sent out five squads of Wetland Lizardmen after leaving the city of Weilu.

We must find enough hunting targets today.

After traveling about 5 kilometers, a commotion broke out among the lizardmen ahead, and a message was immediately sent back—an unexpected discovery had been made.

When Lear arrived, he immediately saw a row of three-toed footprints on the muddy ground ahead, several times larger than a millstone.

It was deeply embedded in the mud.

More than one meter deep!

It extends over the grass before disappearing.

His expression immediately turned serious.

He had seen the same three-toed footprints before, but not in this direction.

Is that unknown, mysterious monster active in this area?

My mind was on high alert.

This footprint is enormous; what kind of life form was it originally?!

"Be on high alert!"

The direction in which the other party disappeared was precisely where the stinking giant monster to the north was located, which they were supposed to investigate.

Let's go together.

The marching speed remained unchanged, but the eyes of the wetland lizardmen were now filled with vigilance.

They became increasingly cautious.

After walking for about ten minutes, a warning came from ahead!

Lear immediately arrived with his army, but was slightly disappointed to find that it was not a three-toed monster.

Ahead lay a vast expanse of mud, where a group of ugly monsters were rolling around.

The grayish-brown toad has a very rough body, a white belly, walks upright, has large yellow eyes, a huge mouth, and croaks loudly.

His back was covered with fist-sized abscesses, which looked extremely disgusting.

The number, roughly speaking, exceeds two hundred!

Swamp Poison Frog

[Level]: 8

[Potential]: 2 stars

[Racial Trait]: Venomous Pustule. The pustule contains venom, and when it breaks, it causes area-of-effect poison damage.

[Skill]: Venomous Long Tongue (1 star) Possesses an extremely long tongue that can extend three meters to attack enemies.

Spit Venom (2-star): Spits venom to attack enemies, causing corrosive damage.

[Evaluation]: A disgusting monster containing potent poison.

2-star potential, level 8 jungle monster?!

Lear frowned slightly.

This is a tough nut to crack!

He turned to look at Hagus beside him.

"We can't charge in head-on. We should retreat 300 meters and lure these monsters out in batches to hunt them down."

Swamp poison frogs are covered in venom, and the bursting of the pustules on their backs can cause splash damage.

Like a poisonous hedgehog, if you try to fight it head-on, even if he has powerful healing skills, there will likely be huge casualties.

Every single wetland lizardman warrior is a valuable fighting force at this moment, and must not be lost here.

But if you can hunt down all these monsters, the advancement of the wetland lizardman warrior is just around the corner.

Haggs immediately agreed.

They rallied their troops and retreated silently.

Lear only stopped the wetland lizardmen when they reached a drier area.

Looking around, all I could see were reeds taller than a person.

It was so airtight that you couldn't see a person within half a meter of it.

The center is an oval-shaped open space with a diameter of thirty meters.

It's perfect for an ambush.

"Hide away on all sides, hide downwind, and don't reveal your presence. Hagus, go lure some of the swamp poison frogs over, no more than two squads."

"If there are too many swamp poison frogs chasing you, take a detour to escape."

The level 7 wetland lizardman hero had a solemn gaze.

"As you wish!"

Without hesitation, he gripped the steel knife tightly and turned to leave.

Lear also concealed himself in the rear, parting the bushes to observe silently under the protection of two squads of wetland lizardmen warriors.

Seven or eight minutes later, a low growl came from the bushes ahead.

Hagus is issuing a warning!

Lear's gaze sharpened, and he waved his hand, signaling the wetland lizardman warriors in front to give the order—prepare to attack.

The wetland lizard emitted a peculiar sound, then fell silent.

Everyone was quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.

A moment later, there was a rustling sound, and the reeds in front swayed.

Sizzle~

A burly, imposing figure burst through the reeds and appeared in Lear's sight.

Haggs!

Without any hesitation, the level 7 hero quickly rushed into another clump of grass, seemingly just another place he was passing through on his escape route.

rustling~

The reeds shook violently, and the vegetation in front was overturned.

Seven or eight swamp poison frogs with white bellies, grayish-brown wrinkled toad bodies, large mouths, and backs covered with venomous pustules excitedly rushed into the clearing.

A similar number of figures followed behind.

The prey has fallen into the trap!

Lear's eyes instantly sharpened like a hawk's!

The swamp poison frog at the front, caught up in its excitement, didn't notice anything amiss and crossed the clearing directly to the reeds where Lear was hiding.

At the very front, the swamp poison frog opened its mouth wide, its tongue shooting out like a sharp sword, extending three meters away!

They wanted to hunt down Hagus.

If hit, it will definitely be severely damaged!

But at that very moment, Lear let out a furious shout!

"kill!"

Haggs, who was fleeing in a sorry state, suddenly turned around, and his blood and qi burst into flames.

The steel blade reflected a chilling glint!

Before the swamp poisonous frog at the front could react, it only saw a flash of light and felt a terrifying pain in its tongue.

A pale red tongue danced in mid-air.

His long tongue was severed!

Just as the swamp poison frog was about to make a move, the lizardman who had been fleeing suddenly closed in.

The steel blade flashed like lightning, slicing through the sky.

The swamp poison frog felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around it, and with a thud, its head slammed heavily to the ground. In its vision, it vaguely saw a headless corpse standing there.

Pfft~

A huge frog head shot into the sky.

Blood gushed from his neck like a fountain.

Death fireworks!

The swamp poison frogs behind them were suddenly stunned. Before they could react, the wetland lizardmen warriors who were lying in ambush all around them were already surging forward with a sinister grin!

The Swamp Poison Frog is two levels higher than the Wetland Lizardman.

Its potential is also 1 star higher!

However, given the sheer number of enemies, their heavy weaponry, and the ambush they were subjected to, the overwhelming force of the attack was overwhelming.

The swamp poison frogs watched in horror as steel blades came slashing down.

He only had time to swing his claws before the sharp blade pierced his flesh and bone.

The moment your tongue sticks out of your mouth, you'll face the sharp edge of a steel knife!

Pfft~ Pfft~

The unique sound of cutting flesh and chopping bones echoed all around.

The piercing screams were chilling.

Swamp poison frogs plopped down, one after another, their corpses falling to the ground.

Several swamp poison frogs that hadn't been killed immediately opened their huge mouths and spat out a mouthful of green venom.

Sizzle~

The venom felt like concentrated sulfuric acid poured on the body, directly corroding the skin through the gaps in the armor.

The wetland lizardman didn't utter a single sound of pain; instead, he attacked even more frantically with his knife!

Brutal (1 star): When damaged or attacking, enters a brutal state, becoming extremely brutal, fearless of pain, and relentlessly pursuing enemies to the death.

These warriors are immune to pain!

After the extreme outburst, calm suddenly returned.

The ground was covered in blood and corpses.

Lear glanced at the wounded soldier, his gaze shifting slightly.

Magical power surged within them, and a surge of magical energy instantly enveloped the warriors covered in the deadly poison.

The wounds burned by the venom healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the remaining poison was extremely potent, and it would re-enter the body after recovery. It took five rounds of the powerful healing skill, Swamp's Grace, to completely cure the poison.

This is even with only a small amount of splashing.

If you were to fight the swamp poison frog head-on, there would definitely be considerable casualties.

After the wetland lizardman recovered, Lear looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and felt a sense of pleasure.

The swamp deity in his mind slowly began to operate.

A divine power enveloped the twenty or so corpses, silently extracting abundant crimson life energy from them.

The energy floated into the air and then poured directly into the bodies of the wetland lizardmen around it.

The wetland lizardman immediately felt his power surge, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

On the panel, its evolution level has increased from 95% to 96%.

The level 8 swamp poison frog contains more than ten times the life energy of the Keld ratmen it hunted when it first entered the swamp!

Lear's lips curled up slightly.

By repeating this process a few more times, you can cultivate a warrior with the potential to become a 2-star warrior!

Look in the direction of the swamp poison frog.

"Continue the hunt!"
