The knight in the abyss

Chapter 46

"But they're thirsty and hungry, and they probably won't be able to go back to Twin Bridges." Barende didn't have a good impression of these gray dwarves, but Lancelot knew that the old dwarves wouldn't really ignore them and still hated his kin. "In addition to strong alkali, is there any other way to deal with it?"

"You don't find a way to deal with it, you just find a way to circumvent it." Karalin explained, "The body fluid of the mud monster is extremely corrosive, and the body fluid sprayed from the wound can cause damage to the attacker, and Weapons used to attack will also quickly corrode and become a pile of rubble."

"These guys have almost no intelligence. Generally speaking, as long as they leave it alone, they will walk away on their own after a while. I have never seen a mud monster block an entrance so persistently, and it seems to have been going on for several days. ."

"Anyway, it's in our way," Lancelot announced. "Scholar, are we strong enough to deal with this guy?"

"I'm afraid not enough." Karalin shook his head. "The strong base will react with the strong acid in its body fluids and emit a lot of heat, but on the one hand, the acid concentration on its body surface is not high, and on the other hand, the damage to this surface is hardly fatal."

"What if we poured a bottle of strong alkali directly into its body?" Lancelot touched his chin and looked at the corpse hanging in the air.Baldness is a hallmark of the grey dwarves, and even if the flesh has been corroded, the corpse's skull still gleams in the dim light.

"In theory, this will cause great damage to it." Karalin looked at him strangely. "But the mud monster has no mouth, so you can't pour strong alkali into its stomach."

"We can put it in." Lancelot turned to look at Barende, "I heard that dwarves have very hard skulls, is that so?"

"Few dwarves die in battle because their skulls are broken," Barende replied, with pride in his tone.

"Why are you asking this?" Pluto subconsciously covered his head and turned around to confirm his father's location.

"What are you thinking, I'm not interested in your head." Lancelot looked at Pluto amusingly, "but I do plan to smash a dwarf's skull. Karalin, do you still have the ammo for sling practice? "

Karalin took out a small pocket filled with pebbles the size of pigeon eggs.

Lancelot grabbed one from the inside, flipped it in his hand, and threw it at the mud monster with all his strength.

The force of this throw was very strong. When the stone flew in the air, it even made the sound of wind. However, when it hit the gum of the mud monster, it suddenly slowed down as if it had been thrown into the water. After a distance of three feet, it stopped completely.

"If you're going to throw a bottle of strong alkali like this, I'm afraid the bottle will be intact, and you'll have to wait at least three days for the mud monster to corrode the stopper."

Lancelot was not struck by Caralin's words.Again he took a stone from the scholar's ammo bag.

"Alright!"

This time, he used the 'Gathering Slash' technique, and Shizi even brought out a streamer of flame when flying, advancing nearly six feet in the body of the mud monster, and was already away from the body of the black dwarf inside. It was very close, but due to the refraction of the light, it finally stopped about a foot above the corpse.

The body of the mud monster trembled, as if it felt pain.But because Lancelot and the others were careful to stand at a relatively far distance, they were not attacked by the mud monster.

Lancelot turned around to take another stone, only to find that his companions were looking at him in disbelief.

Although they have seen it from a distance before, this is the first time the three have watched Lancelot perform this amazing feat up close.

"Uh." Lancelot scratched his head, "I have something special in my head that gives me special abilities."

"Warlock bloodline." Karalin nodded knowingly, and Lancelot was glad that someone could take the initiative to help him explain.

"You mean the kind of people who have ancestors like dragons, angels, etc., who suddenly awakened the power in their blood after waking up one morning?"

"That's right." Pluto affirmed, "Lancelot must be like this. The trajectory of the stone just now caught fire. I guess most of its ancestors have the blood of the red dragon."

"What do you know, you idiot! A dragon can breathe fire, and that power feels familiar to me, and I guarantee it's a flame from the abyss. Perhaps Ser Lancelot's ancestors escaped from their brutal nature and ran To the devil who lives in seclusion in the mortal world."

"Impossible! Demon descendants are not that rare, and their characteristics are still obvious. Ser Lancelot has no other characteristics except that he is taller." Karalin disagreed with the two dwarves. "You remember what he described at the time. Has he passed through the portal? A normal portal is almost as long as you cross it, there is absolutely no such long passage. I think he was probably exposed to the original magic of the multiverse during that process. …”

Lancelot coughed heavily and interrupted their argument about the source of his abilities. He felt guilty for having to hide his true situation, but he thought it was really not appropriate to reveal the secret of cultivation right now.

"Don't argue, I'm pretty sure I'm human."

"You will awaken more of this blood-derived power in the future, don't worry." Karalin said firmly, and Pluto and Barende also nodded.

Lancelot shook his head and decided to let the topic come to an end.He threw the stone again, this time aiming a little lower, and the stone finally brushed past the head of the grey dwarf's corpse.

The ooze trembled violently again, seemingly confused, but still refused to move its nest.

Lancelot no longer hesitated. He took out the strong alkali bottle he had taken from Kalarin. This time, he mobilized the power of innate qi and threw the strong alkali bottle out.

Unlike the previous two times, this time, the strong alkali bottle did not have that gorgeous flame tail in the air at all, and it didn't even make much noise when flying, but it was as fast as lightning, and after entering the gelatinous body of the slime monster, it was almost as fast as lightning. No slowdown.

The other three have their eyes wide open. They can all see the power of this blow, but the real horror is that this blow looks very ordinary on the outside. If the opponent takes it lightly in the battle, he will definitely eat a Big loss.

The strong alkali bottle accurately hit the head of the gray dwarf corpse, and the vial was directly smashed into pieces. The dwarf's skull was really hard, just as Barende claimed.

The mud monster's body began to tremble, and the strong alkali reacted violently with the acid in its body fluid, releasing a lot of heat.Its transparent gelatinous body began to turn cloudy, and before it could be completely lost, Lancelot once again threw out another bottle of strong alkali.

Like adding fuel to the fire, the ooze turned completely black, and the surface began to continuously emit bubbles like boiling water.This process lasted for about 5 minutes, and finally the large group of jelly finally softened like a snowman under the scorching sun.

With the death of the ooze, many things fell to the ground.All but the most terrifying of the oozes have been left behind by their victims over the years, most of which devour flesh and blood, leaving bones, metals, and magical objects in their bodies.

There is no doubt that the mud monsters eat most of all kinds of miners, so several good gems fell on the ground and were quickly picked up by the sharp-eyed Pluto.

Lancelot's psychic awareness alerted him to an inconspicuous little bag.He picked up the bag and immediately noticed the difference.

Although it was different from the one recorded in the small bamboo slips' cultivation anecdotes, Lancelo knew clearly that this was a storage bag.
