Chapter 359 A new provocation has appeared
When Mo Cheng found Lilia in the wetland jungle, she was undergoing difficult training.
Well, it's difficult.
Originally, Mo Cheng just wanted her to train her dodging ability when facing poison dart frogs, but after he saw Lilia attract two wetland monitors from somewhere, he hid aside and watched.
The wetland monitor lizard mainly feeds on poison dart frogs. Its body is covered with mud all year round. The mud and tree sap mixed together and hardened become extremely tough, and can easily block the impact of poison dart frogs.
The gaps between the claws and teeth of wetland monitor lizards are huge, and after eating, there is often food left to rot in the gaps, which over time become a carnival site for bacteria and viruses.
If a wetland monitor scratches you, you will suffer at least three or five negative disease states, ranging from high fever, cough, and even tetanus.
From a certain perspective, the Wetland Monitor Lizard is a powerful assistant specifically for mages in the eyes of some hunter players who can capture pet war beasts.
[High Fever] can increase the cost of releasing skills, [Sneeze] has a chance to interrupt continuous casting, and Tetanus causes fixed damage at regular intervals.
Although the Wetland Monitor Lizard does not move very fast, its physique and strength allow it to act as a tank and withstand direct damage in the arena.
At the same time, the viruses attached to its claws and teeth are so severe that not only mages, but even ordinary melee professions and even tanks will grit their teeth at the wetland monitor.
Unless you have full armor that doesn't give the wetland monitor any chance, if the wetland monitor scratches your skin, you will get at least several diseases.
Mo Cheng vaguely remembered that there were players who tried to cultivate viruses on wetland monitor lizards, but there was no news afterwards.
I don’t know whether the wetland monitor lizard can’t keep up with the player’s level or it has failed to be trained.
When the wetland monitors were lured by Lilia into the group of poison dart frogs, a melee began.
The wetland monitor lizard stuck out its tongue and rolled a few brightly colored poison dart frogs into its mouth to chew. Immediately, liquid splashed out of its mouth, and a pungent smell came out, causing the surrounding group of poison dart frogs to go into a frenzy.
When there are enough poison dart frogs and they smell the blood of their own kind, they will go into a frenzy and attack any creature of their own kind they see.
The powerful leg muscles of poison dart frogs enable them to burst out at initial velocities close to the speed of sound.
In the midst of this dense explosion of arrows, Lilia's eyes were empty, her whole body relaxed and then suddenly tensed up, her leg muscles releasing powerful explosive force. At the same time, she found the imperceptible gaps between the poison dart frogs' sprints and dodged the attacks one by one.
Over the past few days, Lilia has been able to use [Mind Martial Arts·Mirror] to imitate the explosion of the poison dart frog's leg muscles while simulating Mo Cheng's perception of danger.
Lilia followed Mo Cheng's warnings carefully and controlled the simulated power with herself as the center. Although she could not reach the level of the simulated person, she was able to achieve unexpected results through complementarity.
While dodging, Lilia also tried to apply [Projectile Items] to the flying poison dart frogs to change their flying direction and strength so as to better hit the weaknesses of the wetland monitors.
Fifteen minutes later, 60% of the poison dart frogs died, and the wetland monitor lizard had a hole the size of a human head on its body, with all its internal organs pouring out and it died.
With the defensive power of the wetland monitor lizard, there is no way that the poison dart frog can break it, but Lilia has been adjusting the angle of the poison dart frog so that their hit points are all close to one point. When they hit the same place multiple times, even if the wetland monitor lizard has a tough mud armor, it cannot avoid death.
“Snap, snap, snap.”
Mo Cheng walked out of his hiding place with applause, praising, "This is a very good idea. Provoking two enemies that cannot unite to fight each other, while giving help to the weaker party. In the end, not only did you kill the stronger party, but you also depleted the weaker party's strength to an acceptable level."
"Strategic thinking, 60 points."
The Mage's Strategic Thinking Course. Although Lilia has not yet been exposed to this high-end course in her current academic year, she already has the talent for it.
Lilia, who has an innate understanding of combat, already has the qualities to become a strong person in Mo Cheng's opinion.
Lilia, who was imitating the explosive sprint of the poison dart frog and Mo Cheng's keen senses , had consumed a lot of physical and mental energy. Even when she heard Mo Cheng's praise, she just raised her hand and waved it as a greeting.
"Brother, have you finished your work?"
"It's done." Thinking of what he gained from [The Weird Things in the Fishing Port], Mo Cheng added, "The gains are beyond my imagination."
Lilia didn't care about what Mo Cheng had gained. Unless she wanted to tell the mysterious guardian, there was no point in asking.
Moreover, Lilia was very tired at this time. Her physical strength, mental strength and even magic power were almost exhausted to the limit. It was even difficult for her to stand.
Just when she was about to fall to the ground, Mo Cheng came to her side and supported her, "Have you been training like this these days?"
He exhausted his physical and mental strength time and time again, and it naturally improved after recovery. When he saw that Lilia could use [Mind Martial Arts·Mirror] to simultaneously reflect the poison dart frog's leg explosion and his own perception, he made some guesses.
Calculated by time, Lilia's improvement should not be that great, but if she exhausts herself and recovers like this over the past few days, she can indeed improve to this level.
"Hey, Lilia isn't holding us back, is she?"
After saying this, perhaps because she was completely exhausted, Lilia closed her eyes and fainted.
“…”
Mo Cheng didn't say anything, just sighed, then carried Lilia on his shoulders and took her back to the camp.
He seemed a little impatient these days, and although he didn't say what happened, Lilia seemed to have noticed it.
In order to help Mo Cheng, he trained himself in such a desperate way.
The feeling of being physically exhausted is definitely not pleasant, not to mention that your mental and magical powers are close to their lowest point. If Mo Cheng had come a few days later, he would probably have had health problems by pushing himself to the limit like this.
"Really? I'm such a failure that I need a child to care about me."
A soft holy light lit up, enveloping Lillia. Although the strength of the holy light lies in recovery, maintaining the holy light continuously can also help people recover their strength faster.
Just as he was walking, a series of "beeping" sounds interrupted Mo Cheng's thoughts. It was the communication device given to him by Principal Muzel.
"This is Mo Cheng."
"Mo Cheng, have you finished your work?"
As soon as the call was connected, Principal Muzel's words sounded like a boss notifying an employee who had just asked for leave that he had to work overtime.
"Not yet. It will take about a week. Is there something wrong with the research?"
There was silence on the other end of the communicator, and then the principal's voice came over hesitantly, "I want to ask you something. Um, before, the way you handled things was a little, um, not quite in line with..."
"But... for some conflicts, we still have to..."
The other party's words were a little hesitant, but Mo Cheng subconsciously realized what the other party wanted to express, "Someone is looking for trouble? Tell me, where are we going? How many people should we kill? And what is the reward?"
