Want to go back?

Zheng Zhuo glanced at the [Space Mark] on the wall, and then at the poisonous swamp in the distance.

In the depths of the swamp, occasional glints of metalwork can be seen.The adventurers who had entered here were defeated and left behind treasures.

treasure.In other words, weapons, armor, scrolls, or whatever else it might be.

There is a limit to the strength of items that can be purchased in towns.So, what about the treasure found in the poisonous swamp?
"All in all... give it a try first."

Zheng Zhuo decided to bet his hope on the treasure.Of course Zhuang Yusheng agreed: he had wanted to do this for a long time.

It's impossible to turn him back here.Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken into the blue dragon's feet all the way.

In the rest of the day, the two cleaned up a small number of surrounding monsters, and went back to the city to buy enough dry food and drinking water.

Next, they venture deeper.

……

[There are still 60 days until the world is destroyed]

the next day.

The two set off from the high platform and jumped into the middle of the swamp.

Even though some monsters were cleaned up the day before, the follow-up monsters that appeared in the swamp continued to come in a steady stream.The number even made Zheng Zhuo suspect that they did not reproduce normally, but were born directly from the poisonous swamp.

Zheng Zhuo, as the main attacker, continued to use [Fireball] and [Mage Hand] to restrain him.Regardless of the monsters that escaped or the monsters that entered the poisonous swamp to recover, move forward, move forward, and the focus is on moving forward.When you notice that you have too many monsters, ask Zhuang Yusheng to use [Sneak] to distract some of them.

Zheng Zhuo didn't know if he had killed the monsters—maybe he only killed a small amount.He wounded a large number of monsters blocking the road ahead, and was wounded by more monsters.

At this time, the effects of [Fatigue Resistance: Small] and [Healing Lv. 2] are revealed.

Zheng Zhuo cast spells for a long time.Not only did he suppress the monsters one after another, but he was also responsible for the recovery.The acid from the counterattack hit him, and he used [Healing] to recover.Zhuang Yusheng, who was attracting monsters, was prone to miss on this kind of terrain, and it was Zheng Zhuo who used [Healing] to recover.

During this day, the two moved a short distance towards the nearest shining point.However, the situation is still under control, which is the best sign.

During the night, the two did not return to town.The wet ground of the poisonous swamp can easily lose the effect of the repellent powder, so they simply apply it around themselves and sleep on the ground.

Falling asleep to the muffled humming of myconids and toads amidst the throat-numbing noxious vapors is not a pleasant experience.But compared to these, the idea of ​​not wanting to let the efforts fall short still prevailed.

Thanks to [Healing], they don't have to go back to the city to get effective sustain.

……

[There are still 59 days until the world is destroyed]

When he woke up, Zheng Zhuo had no idea where he was or what time it was.

The dark green swamp became the only thing he could see.

"Good morning."

Zhuang Yusheng said weakly from the side.His face turned green, and it seemed that the quality of sleep of both of them was affected.

"I hope that treasure is really useful. According to this progress, I'm afraid it will take a month...it will be hell."

He said while swallowing the antidote like breakfast.

Zheng Zhuo also swallowed some antidote.It tastes like cheese that has been fermented to the extreme and melted into liquid.It helped Zheng Zhuo get rid of the poison, and in another sense, it also helped him refresh himself.

The two moved on.

Surprisingly, they seem to have the rhythm of the march.For the next three days, they became more and more proficient at dealing with monsters.Zheng Zhuo's hit rate was improving, and Zhuang Yusheng's dodging skills became more proficient.

They moved slowly and carefully, with few injuries.Attack - attract strange - treatment - attack - rest, attack - attract strange - treatment - attack - rest.The cycle continued perfectly, and Zheng Zhuo learned not to kill any of the monsters.He hit them with [Fireball] first, and then used [Mage Hand] to push them further to the poisonous swamp to heal their wounds, so as to take the opportunity to pass through the muddy path between swamps.

Just like that, time passed day by day.

Can't be impatient, can't be hasty.

During the days when they repeatedly said "no problem" to themselves, Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng moved forward little by little, and finally reached the position of the shiny treasure.

……

[There are still 56 days until the world is destroyed]

"Oh...finally...finally...!"

Zhuang Yusheng looked in front of him, deeply moved.

The two finally arrived at the treasure.Here is a dagger stuck in the ground.

"Is it a weapon I can use?" Zhuang Yusheng pulled the dagger out of the ground, and Zheng Zhuo saw a dangerous cold light flashing from the complicated black and silver patterns on the dagger.

He opened [Appraisal].

……

【Edge of Fear】

Skills: [Cutting Lv.1], [Fear Lv.1]

……

Two Lv.1 skills are not good choices as weapons.Zheng Zhuo used [Appraisal] to click on [Cutting Lv.1], the text indicated that this dagger can cause small cutting damage.

However, it was the first time he had seen that [Fear] skill.

what is this?He clicked.

[Fear Lv.1]: Enemies within Lv.10 will flee after being attacked
"This……"

This dagger just matches Zheng Zhuo's current tactics!His eyes lit up.

Let Zhuang Yusheng hold it, and then sneak to approach the monster...

No.

Suddenly, Zheng Zhuo thought of a more efficient method.

……

After a few 10 minutes.

Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng ran straight forward.After entering the second basement, they ran for the first time.The forward speed is more than ten times faster than before.

The top of Zheng Zhuo's long staff radiated light.The [Mage Hand] summoned by it held the [Fear Blade] and waved it around in front of it.

[Mage Hand] Naturally, it is impossible to have weapon proficiency.It's not so much attacking the enemy as it is just rubbing the dagger on the enemy.

However, as long as it is rubbed a little, it is enough.

These Lv.6-Lv.10 fungus and toad ran away from them in a panic because they triggered the [Fear] effect.The road ahead can be said to be unimpeded.The two will occasionally encounter Lv.11-13 enemies, but the number is very small.They just have to avoid it.

"Aha! This way we can pass today!" Zhuang Yusheng followed behind and shouted, "It's just a pity that there are no materials, and the treasures can't be sold..."

Ok?
He narrowed his eyes.After a while, Zheng Zhuo was suddenly pulled back.

"Hey, hello! Look over there."

Zheng Zhuo stopped, and he looked forward.

The opening to the third floor is clearly visible.But, in a completely different direction - to the left of the two, in the corner of the second floor, there was a flash of light.

"It's a treasure! Go get it?"

With this dagger, it is not difficult to take a short detour to obtain treasures.Just when Zheng Zhuo thought "you can go too"...

The flash shook.Then, it rose slowly.

what happened?

The two were taken aback.They got closer and saw that the light was hanging from a mushroom.

Mushrooms are rising.It grows on top of a clump of larger caps, and below the caps...

...It's a huge fungus.

……

【Giant mushroom man】

【Level: Lv.20】

[Skills: Slap Lv.3, Poison Spore Lv.3, Paralysis Spore Lv.3, Command Lv.1]

……

The giant mushroom man stood up.It was over 30 meters tall, and the huge hands on both sides of its body were as thick as the trunks of towering giant trees.

"This treasure..."

Zhuang Yusheng hesitated to speak.

"Is there a way to get...?"

……
