Mercenaries and Adventurers

The swamp became more lively at night than during the day, and mosquitoes buzzed and flew around Zhao Ji, who was applying insect repellent plant juice. The jumping frogs are active at night in the swamp, croaking and jumping from time to time, opening their mouths to prey on flying mosquitoes while jumping. Fluorescent bugs fly around the top of the thatch to attract the bugs they like. Nocturnal birds on the short trees in the distance also fly out of their hidden nests, hunting and fighting over the swamp, quacking Noisy.

Zhao Ji deliberately avoided the direction of the sewage outlet, because it was full of filth, and he didn't want to be covered in feces.

He walked around the outer area of ​​the swamp, the shallow mud would not sink his feet too deep, and there was no need for a snake stick to test the depth of the swamp. Zhao Ji just carried Ge behind his back, held the snake driving stick in his hand, and guarded against possible swamp snakes. He carefully observed the water surface of the swamp along the way, paying attention to where slime monsters would appear.

Not far to the left of Zhao Ji, a jumping frog that had been making loud noises suddenly went silent, which made Zhao Ji, who had been looking for the slime monster, turn his head away.

Not far to the left, a jumping frog's legs were stretched out of the shallow water, kicking and kicking. The jumping frog's long legs were leaking out, but its body was submerged in the swamp.

There is a situation! Zhao Ji is not stupid, he immediately realized that the jumping frog must have been hunted, and the legs stretched out on the water must be struggling.

Zhao Jifu lowered his body, slowed down his breathing, quietly put the snake driving stick in his waist, and pulled out the dagger behind his back.

He waded over gently, and stopped two meters away from the jumping frog's legs. This distance can clearly see every move two meters away under the moonlight.

The jumping frog was hunted by a slime monster. He didn't see the specific hunting process, but he saw it in the end. Although jumping frogs are very alert animals, they can jump very far to catch flying insects or escape. But it is not an opponent of monsters like slime monsters at all. Most of its body is wrapped in a mass of mucus, only one long leg is stretched out to kick around, and it looks very energetic.

The slime monster, Zhao Ji took a closer look at the situation. Its size is probably not as good as the slime monster that was killed during the day, only half the size of that one. Considering that the slime monster is oval in shape, it is half the size, and the difference in volume and weight is even greater. And the color of the slime monster is also different, because the light source at night is moonlight, so under the moonlight, the slime monster looks silvery white with green patches.

Gradually, the jumping frog stopped moving. The slime monster sucked the jumping frog's legs into its body. As the jumping frog's legs were sucked into the slime monster's body, the slime monster's body became a little bigger, which Zhao Ji saw clearly.

Zhao Ji knew that the slime monster should suck its prey into its body and use its acid to digest the prey. So the biggest problem with this kind of monster is that it cannot hunt prey larger than itself, and even prey smaller than itself are difficult to eat. It’s not that I can’t beat it. In the afternoon, Zhao Ji also saw the power of the slime monster’s acid. Smaller animals are no match for it, but the slime monster can’t swallow animals that are the same size or bigger than it. .

There must be no humans in the prey list of monsters like slime monsters, because it is completely impossible for them to eat humans. Watching the slime monster eat the jumping frog completely, Zhao Ji didn't do anything. Because he wanted to see what the slime monster's behavior was like after it was fully fed.

The slime monster that had finished eating crawled and lay on the spot without moving, but stretched out a translucent tentacle dangling above its head, as if to express its pride. Not far from the slime monster, another jumping frog swam to the small piece of land out of the water from the shallow swamp water.

The slime monster seemed to sense something, and stretched out its tentacles towards Zhao Ji. This made Zhao Ji not dare to take a breath because he was afraid of this little slime monster. After all, he had already held Ge in his hand. The distance between him and the slime monster was two meters, that is, Zhao Ji took a step forward. , the distance that can be attacked by waving the hands holding Ge plus the length of Ge. At this time, the brightness of the moonlight was fine, and he would definitely be able to accurately pierce the entire slime monster with the tip of the dagger on Ge's head.

Zhao Ji mainly wanted to see the difference between the slime monster in the swamp and the slime monster in the sewer when hunting. If it doesn't make a difference, he'll kill the slime with one shot, and if one doesn't work, then two. Presumably the slime monster would have died like a deflated rubber ball by then. If the two are different, then he has to come up with targeted countermeasures.

The ignorant jumping frogs jumped onto this small piece of land in the swamp. They didn't know what these jumping frogs were doing. Why did they have to come to a place without water? It didn't know that just beside it, a slime monster had slowly stretched out a translucent tentacle in its direction, and slowly moved towards it.
