Chapter 72 - Sludge Monster
Boom! Boom!
These were called soft mud… Mhm, it was how the alien known as “Sludge Monsters” made their attack.
Needless to say, it was very peculiar, but it was also highly effective.
The rocks and chunks of trees they discharged with their bodies could make such a great impact that as soon as they crashed into the Bloodsoul Vine Tree that the Soul race used as a stronghold, they made big dents in it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As for the Bloodsoul Vine Tree, it seemed to be trembling as if it was alive. Red blood flowed out from its injured area.
Compared to the Souls who were good at close combat, if the ones attacking Twin Dragon Mount were these Sludge Monsters, then the battle would definitely be somewhat troublesome.
After all, each of these aliens was equivalent to a trebuchet. Even though the efficiency of their launches were slightly poor, the damage they dealt was very obvious!
However, the Bloodsoul Vine in the middle was also an Extraordinary creature. In fact, in terms of level, it was equivalent to the trump card in Ji Ye’s hands—Soul Alpha Wolf.
After all, Ji Ye also had a Blood Identification skill that allowed the Alpha Wolf to have substantial physical offensive strength!
Pew!
Furthermore, although the wolf soul had failed, the other weapon in Ji Ye’s hand unexpectedly produced an extremely outstanding effect.
The Black Serpent Sword slashed at the Sludge Monster. When it was unsheathed, the body of the sword was still the color of white teeth, but the mud monster’s body shrank by nearly 50%.
Sludge, sludge…
Despite its name, there was naturally no need to describe the moisture content of such a structured creature!
Pew!
When Ji Ye stabbed a second time, the suspected Ordinary Rank-7 alien creature based on Li Qing’s scouter stopped moving.
The Black Serpent Sword’s extraordinary performance once again made Ji Ye feel that it was simply “top-grade” at the present stage.
“Attack!”
Thud!
However, it was not easy for the rest to fight.
The bodies of these Sludge Monsters were strange. They could deflect a large amount of force when a weapon hit them. Even if they were successfully injured, they could quickly shrink their wounds and stop the “bleeding.”
In fact, because their injuries were too serious, they could choose to abandon a piece of their body and exchange their injuries for a chance to counterattack. And their attacks, other than long-range “catapults”, would directly bounce onto a person’s face at close range, wrapping and spreading their bodies around the enemy’s body.
“Oh…”
An elite soldier from Twin Dragon Mount was directly engulfed by one. Instantly, he felt as if he was trapped in mud. Without any means of exerting his strength, even if he held a saber in hand, he could not save himself. His bones emitted sounds of breaking as he rapidly suffocated.
Pew!
Ji Ye rushed over and instantly broke the Sludge Monster’s skin with his Black Serpent Sword.
Furthermore, before the sword could strike again, the Sludge Monster collapsed to the ground.
“Eh…”
“Attack the heart-sized black area in their bodies. This should be their vital point!”
With his eyesight that far exceeded others, Ji Ye discovered the weakness of the Sludge creatures.
Pew!
As an athlete, Qin Yueyu had good eyesight. Despite the poor lighting, she could clearly see the silhouette of the Sludge Monster. The talisman bow shot out an ordinary arrow and killed a Sludge Monster.
Pew!
As for Ninth Uncle, he was indeed a Commander-level existence. Apart from being good at magic, his movements were also extremely agile. After dodging, he killed the Sludge that pounced on him.
Thud, thud…
In the blink of an eye, four Sludges died.
The remaining Sludges were immediately thrown into chaos. Following that, the black area on one of the Sludges suddenly jumped twice and produced a drum-like sound.
Following that, all the remaining Sludges quickly spread their bodies and moved to the side of the canyon as though they were flowing.
However, he realized that the situation was not right. It gave up on seeking revenge for its fellow race and chose to retreat!
Clearly, their intelligence was much higher than that of the single-minded Souls.
“Do you think you can leave?”
Ji Ye naturally could not let them escape.
Although it was possible that there were already personnel who had returned to report the news, it was impossible to be sure. Furthermore, once these Sludges returned, they would definitely muster a large army.
When the time came, if Twin Dragon Mount had yet to capture the Souls’ settlement core, then no matter how powerful he was as an individual, it was unlikely that he could fight a hundred alone at the current stage!
After all, the initial level of these Sludge Monsters was about two levels higher than humans.
Thankfully, the speed of these Sludge Monsters was clearly their weakness. With Li Qing guiding them,
even though the Sludge Monsters tried to escape in different directions, he managed to catch up to them and culled them one by one.
