Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji cheered up when he heard it, and said, "I have a doubt. I went to the swamp to look for slime monsters in the morning. I heard people say that there should be a lot of slime monsters, but I spent a long time in the morning and didn't look at them. Go to the slime monster. What's going on here?"

The middle-aged guard smiled and said, "Haha, young man, have you ever seen a slime monster?"

"I haven't seen it, I just heard it occasionally." Zhao Ji replied.

The middle-aged guard continued: "Slime monsters are a large pool of moving snot. As long as the sun shines, they will dry into a ball of ashes. So they all appear in swamps and places with a lot of water. Yes, they only come out in large numbers at night when there is no sun, and occasionally on cloudy days."

A guard took over and said: "Every summer and autumn, the slime monsters will flood on a large scale. They will flow everywhere from the swamp along the diversion ditches between the fields. They will also sneak into the fields to steal the crops. I heard from the shepherds of Saturn that when they see slime monsters, they should cover them with soil and tell them to come and eradicate the slime monsters.”

"I don't come out during the day, I like water, and it dries up into a ball of ashes. It floods in summer and autumn, eats crops, and the god of agriculture and herdsmen will eradicate them." Zhao Ji recorded it on a piece of his strategy paper with a charcoal pen while listening. the information he heard.

So that's the reason why he didn't see the slime monster in the morning. Now he has two problems left.

"I have the last two questions, the last two. One is how about the slime monster's fighting ability? Do you think a young man like me can beat the slime monster? This is a question." Zhao Jibian While speaking, he did a fitness exercise and lit up the borrowed dagger in his arms.

The guards looked at each other left and right, and laughed, and there seemed to be a happy atmosphere in the city gate.

The middle-aged guard smiled, gestured at Zhao Ji's dagger and the two-handed sword on his back, and said, "You haven't trained, I can deal with a young man like you. , but it’s enough to deal with monsters like slime monsters, just be careful of spewing mud and gastric juice when they are about to die.”

Zhao Ji was a little discouraged when he heard it. He didn't expect to hear that it was so much worse, but ah, he is a time traveler and can use his brain to fight. Write down the ooze spit on a piece of paper. As for close combat, avoid it before training.

"There is one last question. It's still early in the afternoon. If I wait until night to find the slime monster, I won't be able to return to the city. I have to spend the night outside in the wild. Is there a place where I can find the slime monster during the day? Think about dealing with a slime monster in the afternoon." Zhao Ji asked.

The guards looked at each other this time, bewildered, and then burst out laughing.

"There is such a place, but are you really going?" said a guard.

"Is there any inconvenience?"

"It's so convenient. That place is the sewer of Kendall City. It stinks to the sky. There are a lot of slime monsters and rats in it. The smell in the swamp must be half of the credit." The middle-aged guard said.

"And if you get in, when you come back, you have to wash your whole body in the river, otherwise I won't let you enter the city." Another guard said, and the others nodded.

"The sewer, so that's the case. Is it the two big holes under the south wall?" Zhao Ji suddenly realized that the two holes he saw before under the south wall were the sewers in the city. It seems that the sewers are not small. Ah, and the source of water in the swamp south of the city has also been figured out.

"Only one is the sewer, and the other is the outlet of the water source from the Kendall River. The water source in the city is drawn from the Kendall River, and all we drink is the water from the Kendall River." A younger guard said .

"Thank you everyone, I'll go over there to have a look later. But I have to return the wooden barrel to the tavern first." Zhao Ji saw that the guards were chewing fresh mint leaves after drinking the iced mint water. Said to the guard holding the barrel.

"Thank you, thanks to you, we drank something we hadn't drunk before. We made money." The middle-aged guard said on behalf of the others.

After taking the small wooden barrel, there were still some remnants of ice cubes in it, and they swayed in the wooden barrel as Zhao Ji walked. He walked into the tavern, put the empty bucket on the edge of the bar, and nodded to the bartender to thank him. Zhao Ji planned to raise some equipment to deal with slime monsters first.

Considering the slime monster's fighting methods, the dagger is enough. In order to avoid close combat, Zhao Ji planned to find a slightly longer wooden stick and tie the dagger horizontally to one end with a rope, so that it became a weapon called Ge, which could be used to attack the slime monster. In terms of defense, a wooden shield should be enough, but the special wooden shield is not cheap. He plans to borrow a wooden pot cover from the kitchen of the Chamber of Commerce and use it as a shield. Just tie it with a rope and hold it by hand.

As for preventing poisonous snakes, he had to find a wooden stick with a fork at the front, which could be combined with his weapon, with a fork at one end and a dagger at the other end. To prevent mosquito bites, he can ignite a weed that is everywhere in the field to prevent mosquitoes, and he can barely prevent mosquito harassment by carrying it with him.

For others, we will see the situation at that time.
