The mud monsters kept emerging from the swamp, and their number had increased to three to five hundred, gathered from all directions to chase the five people who had landed on the shore. Their movement speed was extremely slow and they could only attack from a distance through acid bombs. However, the mud monsters were not very energetic, and the target distance was slightly far, and the accuracy became messy, and most of them were miserable.

"Don't stop, hide in the jungle!"

When Zhang Mu rushed into the jungle, acid bombs kept flying through his ears, some hitting trees, some hitting the ground, and some fell into the bushes, corroding holes and releasing pungent smoke and smells. The mud monster moved too slowly to keep up with the opponent's pace. When the five people drilled into the dense jungle, the mud monster completely lost its target, stood in front of the jungle and wandered for a while, and finally had to disperse.

Although he was temporarily escaped from danger, the five people still did not dare to be careless, so they ran for twenty minutes before stopping.

Zhang Mu gasped slightly and said, "This place is far enough. The mud monster should not be able to move in the jungle, and they cannot catch up."

The fat man was shot by two acid ejected one after another, and a large piece of flesh was corroded on his thighs and chest, and blood kept flowing out. Zhang Mu and Sun Bing each shot, causing significant damage. As for Chen Ling and Leng Yun, there was some impact, but the injury was not serious.

Leng Yun has some magic left, which cannot restore health points, but can heal the wound, thereby alleviating the pain caused by the acid.

The fat man's injury had just healed a little, and he immediately smiled proudly: "Hahaha, I'm envious of Fat Brother's luck this time. I got a skill book!"

"Average monsters also explode skill books?" Zhang Mu was stunned. The probability of ordinary monsters losing skill books is in a thousand, almost the same as buying a lottery ticket. He was actually encountered by a fat man, "Look at what book it is."

The fat man took out his skill book and checked it out: "Acid bomb technique? Damn, isn't this the skill of the mud monster?"

Zhang Mu nodded: "What a coincidence, what you got was the master's skill book."

The acid bomb technique does not belong to elemental magic. Basically, any magic system: elemental mage, necromancer, priest, or even summoner can learn it. This is a highly versatile spell. The fat man can only hand over the book honestly and let Leng Yun learn it.

[Acid bomb LV1], F-level skill, highest level LV3, attack distance 30 meters, causing 50% mental damage, and sustained damage within 5 seconds, which can cause corrosion or armor-breaking effects, consume 3 magic points, and cooldown time of 10 seconds.

The damage assessment of spells is generally affected by the fixed damage value of the spell itself, the spell attack power superimposed by the equipment, and one of the four major attributes of the player [spirit].

The acid bomb technique is an alternative. It is a fixed damage skill that is only affected by the spirit, regardless of the strength of the equipment. A mage with a spirit of 50 points fires an acid bomb with 25 points of attack. At first glance, it seems to be quite a lot, but it is actually very weak. A 25-point spell attack does not necessarily cause 25 points of damage unless the target's spell defense is zero. In fact, monsters with zero spell defense almost do not exist.

Leng Yun's spirit is less than 30 points. At the same level, using acid bullets to attack ordinary monsters will cause at most a dozen points of damage. It is good to have five or eight points against elite monsters, and its attack power is less than one-third of the ice archery technique. Although acid bullets have low damage, they are practical. This technique has a short cooling time and consumes less magic. Therefore, it can be used frequently to corrode equipment and weaken target defense. It is the most suitable and can provide strong assistance to the team.

The fat man was a little unbalanced and said a little depressedly: "Unfortunate, I thought I could beat it to my own use!"

Zhang Mu said: "There are nearly twenty types of professions. Although some skills can be used, most of them have high limits, so it is impossible to drop this professional skill book and equipment specifically. It is precisely because of this that there is a need to build a team. Let's go and find a place to spend the night."

It’s less than an hour dark and before it gets dark, be sure to find a place to stay overnight.

Five people traveled through the forest for an hour and accidentally discovered a cave. The entrance to the cave was about three meters high, but it was relatively narrow, allowing only one person to enter. The outside was covered with a large number of vines, and if you didn't look carefully, you would definitely not be able to find it.

Zhang Mu used his sword to jump open the tightly-hole plant, observed and said, "It seems that this place has been a few years, so let's live in the cave tonight."

Chen Ling looked at the dark cave and felt a little nervous: "Captain, are you sure there is nothing inside?"

"From the situation at the entrance of the cave, there are no signs of damage, and the vines are growing very densely. There are no monsters entering and leaving at least one or two years." Zhang Mu took out a flashlight from his waist, turned it on and took a photo and said, "If there is anything, we will know if we go in and tent. You can keep up!"

Zhang Mu entered the narrow cave. Although there was a flashlight, the cave was too dark and the flashlight did not shine too far. According to Zhang Mu's idea, the cave only had a few square meters for five people to accommodate. However, as he continued to penetrate the cave, the rock walls on both sides did not shrink, but became larger and larger. Finally, it was more than enough for the two to walk side by side.

"Be careful." Zhang Mu frowned slightly and whispered: "This hole seems a bit not very simple."

Everyone walked slowly forward for more than twenty meters. Suddenly, there was something pale under the stone in front, which made the few people feel cold on their backs.

Chen Ling took a breath and her voice trembled: "Captain..., why are there skeletons?"

A skeleton was half lying in the cave. It was basically the same as humans, but it was wider. Perhaps it was alarmed by someone. A faint blue ghost fire ignited in the skull's eye sockets. With the sound of skeleton rubbing, it stood up from the ground.

[Skeleton Soldier] (Black Iron Elite), Level 5, Life 200, Magic 100, Introduction: Originally an elite soldier, but because he was infected by the aura of the underworld, he became a warrior of the undead clan.

Chen Ling screamed in shock.

Leng Yunshabai stood behind Zhang Mu, and Sun Bing also felt his scalp numb.

Only the fat man was not afraid and said with a smile: "Haha, is he a level 5 black iron elite monster? Why do he look so weak!"

The skeleton soldier raised the rusty sword and rushed towards the five without saying a word. Although it was a skeleton, it was not slow at all. The fat man launched a savage collision and hit the skeleton soldier. One attack reduced the skeleton soldier's health by 18%. However, as an undead, the skeleton was immune to the dizzy state, so he immediately reacted and swung his sword to slash it away.

The fat man swung his big sword with both hands and slashed at the waist of the skeleton. The skeleton soldier's bones were extremely strong, and he only broke a few ribs and staggered back a few steps. Seeing that the elite monster was just like this, the fat man couldn't help but feel confident, so he raised his big sword to attack again.

"Gee!"

The skeleton suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the fat man in the chest. The sword blade penetrated the leather armor and caused 23% of the blood damage. The fat man was injured and immediately retreated. A faint white light suddenly appeared on the skeleton soldier's long sword, and a sword light swept over. Sun Bing suddenly stood up, the sword light was blocked by the shield, and a hammered on the skeleton's head. The skeleton was beaten back.

Zhang Mu quickly skated to catch up with the skeleton, and a series of fluttering blows. The skeleton's health was bottomed out, and the joints of the whole body were broken, turning into piles of broken bones and scattered on the ground.

Everyone's experience column skyrocketed, but what was depressing was that the skeleton soldier did not even have a hair that had dropped two gold coins.

"It turned out to be a monster. I thought I had hit a ghost." Leng Yun gently stroked her tall breasts, then frowned and said, "What a pity, it didn't fall, our luck seemed not very good."

"No." Zhang Mu picked up the gold coins and said, "This elite monster is different from the elite monster I killed before."

“What’s the difference?”

Zhang Mu replied: "The strength is relatively weak, not very much like a lone elite monster, but more like a group elite monster."

Leng Yun's bright eyes lit up and said, "Group elites? Could it be that there are similar monsters in the cave?"

"Well, you'll know if you go on. We might accidentally enter an elite monster zone."

Sun Bing scratched his head and said in surprise: "Elite monster area? It means that it is an area full of elite monsters?"

"Yes, the experience of elite monsters is several times higher than that of ordinary monsters. If it is an elite monster area, then the value is very high, and at least it can allow us to upgrade quickly. Even elite monsters of group nature have a explosion rate many times higher than that of ordinary monsters, and there is hope to hit more good things."

The eyes of several people were getting hot.

If so, that would be great.

Although the skeleton soldier is a level 5 black iron elite, his strength is far inferior to that of the black bear, but the experience provided is not much worse than that of the black bear. If he can win more than ten or twenty, the few people will have the hope of upgrading to level 6!

"Fuck, it's so good, so what are you waiting for?"

The fat man's wound had just stopped bleeding and immediately started to yell.

Zhang Mu said: "This cave must be very deep, and there is not enough flashlights. Go out first and prepare some torches."

The five people left the cave, chose some flammable and burn-resistant pine wood, made more than a dozen torches, and entered the cave again.

The cave was very dark, and the torch could illuminate things within a few meters at most. After about five or six minutes, I suddenly heard a sound of bone friction, and three skeletons stood up in front... Three skeleton soldiers and three 5th-level black iron elites.

This undoubtedly confirms the conjecture!

An inconspicuous cave, it's really an elite monster area!

From the perspective of elite monsters, skeleton soldiers are weak, but compared to ordinary monsters, they are much stronger. So they should not be careless at all when dealing with them. Of course, two or three skeleton soldiers cannot pose too much threat to Zhang Mu. Five people rushed forward and ended the battle in four or five minutes, turning the skeletons into three piles of broken bones.

On average, only one of the ten ordinary monsters dropped gold coins. Elite monsters basically had to drop gold coins, and although not many, they were better than nothing. What was surprising was that the three skeleton soldiers not only dropped gold coins, but also dropped one piece of equipment.

[Bone Necklace] (Ordinary Black Iron), Level 5, Physical Attack +4, Physical Defense +4, Durability 20, 1/3 of the Bone Jewelry Set, No set effect yet.

Set!

The price of a general suit is several times that of ordinary equipment, because the suit has set effect and has additional attribute bonuses.

Jewelry is more rare and precious than equipment.

What is placed in front of you now is an accessories set!

Zhang Mu couldn't calm down anymore.

Although it is just a level 5 black iron-level jewelry set, if you can save a whole set, its value will inevitably double. It is absolutely no problem to replace this FF-level popular skill book!

Of course, the most important thing is practical value. If you can own a complete set of accessories, Zhang Mu's ability can be improved to a higher level.
