Chapter 38, Swamp-Escape

Zhao Ji didn't know what to do specifically, but he couldn't sit still and wait for death.

The ability of the slime monsters to spit out mucus acid is the most threatening. You cannot let them encircle the net. It is better to evacuate first. The thirty-sixth strategy is the best strategy. You can leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. Gentleman

Words such as "Don't build a dangerous wall" resounded in Zhao Ji's mind. He gave in and retreated.

Zhao Jixian stepped back in small steps without turning around. After all, he should have the most slime monsters in front of him. The path from behind was closest to the edge of the swamp. In that direction, the water depth weakened and there were more dwarf trees and swamps.

Plants to cover the slime monster's breath attack.

Seeing Zhao Ji retreating, the slime monsters moving forward under the water not far away accelerated their movements. The entire swamp water surface was shaking, and the slime monsters no longer cared about moving forward covertly.

Seeing that the slime monster did not launch a direct attack, Zhao Ji quickened his pace. However, although the mud in the swamp was not deep, its suction was indeed very strong. Every step he took would bring a large handful of muddy water with his feet, so he could not go faster. But

Fortunately, the slime monsters are slower. As long as they don't attack, Zhao Ji thinks he should be able to escape back to the ground before the slime monsters catch up.

But his luck was obviously bad. When Zhao Ji struggled to pull out his feet and move backwards, a slime monster's tentacles stretched out from the water behind Zhao Ji. It immediately sensed Zhao Ji's movements, and after a slight amount of energy, it sprayed out.

A ball of slime.

Zhao Ji didn't notice the slime monster's movements for a moment, and was sprayed on his back by the slime monster.

Zhao Ji was startled, but he didn't seem to feel any corrosive pain. However, the clothes on his back were stuck together with mucus, and he realized that he had been hit by the slime monster's spit attack.

The clothes stuck together, which greatly affected Zhao Ji's movements. But in a critical moment, it was still important to escape.

Regardless of the more slime monsters in front of him, Zhao Ji turned around and struggled to move his legs through the muddy water of the swamp. He separated the snake-repelling stick with a slime monster on it from Ge left and right, guarding against the slime monster.

attack again.

Sure enough, more attacks from slime monsters came. Zhao Ji noticed the spit attacks of the slime monsters in advance, and used the snake repelling stick and the sword to block the two coming at them, and then used swamp plants to cover his body and avoid them.

Another attack was launched.

It's too dangerous, you'll get hit sooner or later, and it's even worse if it's acid instead of mucus.

Fortunately, he had not gone deep into the swamp in the south of the city before. Not far from the edge of the swamp, Zhao Ji finally got rid of all the slime monsters after wading hard through the swamp mud.

After stepping onto solid ground, Zhao Ji quickly found a bush to cover his body. Turning around and looking behind him, he saw many slime monsters gathering at the edge of the swamp. They were stacked one on top of another, extending their tentacles and waving angrily.

The tips of the tentacles also emitted a little red light.

The sight in front of him made Zhao Ji take a breath of air. Fortunately, slime monsters don't like land without water, and prefer to stay in the muddy water of moist swamps. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this just by hunting a slime monster.

Surrounded by so many slime monsters, if he hadn't evacuated early, he might have died in the swamp just now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Feeling a little heavy on his feet, Zhao Ji looked down and saw that his feet were covered in mud from the swamp and were emitting a stinky smell.

Hey, let’s take a long-term view.

Zhao Ji returned to his campfire along the edge of the swamp, put down Ge He's snake-repelling stick with the slime monster on it, casually pulled two nearby leaves and wrapped them around the slime monster to prevent the slime monster's body from losing moisture.

Zhao Ji went to the drainage outlet to wash his feet again. The water of the Kendall River was extremely cool. Zhao Ji stood in the middle of the waterway at the drainage outlet, rubbing his left and right feet against each other to wash away the sticky swamp mud on his feet.

.

There was a slight tingling sensation on his feet. Zhao Ji looked down and saw that there were some small bumps on his feet. It should have been the wounds caused by the impact of plant roots or other things in the muddy water when he was hurriedly escaping from the swamp.

Fortunately, it was just a bruise without any skin breaks, which would prevent the wound from being contaminated by dirt in the swamp mud.

While Zhao Ji was rinsing his feet, he took off his clothes and looked at the part of his back that was hit by the slime monster.

The small group of linen clothes was completely covered in mucus. Afraid of tearing the clothes, Zhao Ji carefully pulled away the stuck areas of the clothes. He soaked the clothes in the river water and rubbed them gently for a while.

When Ji didn't feel so sticky, he took out his clothes and looked at them in the moonlight. Most of the slime monster's mucus had dissipated, and he could barely wear them.

He left the drainage outlet and returned to the campfire. After a while, the campfire was extinguished, but there was still warmth in the ashes. Zhao Ji pulled some hay and dry shrub branches from around, piled them on the embers of the campfire, and puffed his mouth.

Blow.

Once, twice, and by the third time, the temperature of the embers finally ignited the flammable dry grass, and then the shrub branches. Zhao Ji used a snake repellent stick to pull the campfire to make the flames burn brighter, and then put it down.

The washed clothes were left to dry. Zhao Ji picked up the bedding and shook the inside, spread the bedding again, and lay down on it.

Reflecting on everything that just happened.
