Chapter 476: The Stucco Monster

"It turned out to be a mud monster."

The young mage secretly thanked himself for being vigilant enough.

If you accidentally stepped on the mud monster disguised as a puddle just now, you will definitely be captured by this monster and wrap itself from head to toe like a big ball of glue.

If a little mage with ordinary physical fitness like him was attacked by this mud monster with a strength attribute as high as 16 points, it would be difficult to break free from the opponent's shackles, and the consequences would be even more disastrous.

Slime monsters are commonly known as "slimes". There are many types, and there are no less than ten types recorded in the "Wares Monster Illustrated Book".

All kinds of oozes actually look similar, they look like a big lump of translucent jelly, and if laid flat on the ground, they look like a puddle of glue, but their shapes and colors are slightly different.

The vast majority of slime monsters do not have "brain" or other special organs for thinking. Their mental level stays at a very low level, their IQ is close to zero, and they only rely on their innate hunting instinct to survive.

For example, this mud monster lurking in the abandoned lighthouse, disguised as a lifelike puddle, waited for the prey to come to the door by itself, mistakenly regarded it as a source of drinking water, and then took the opportunity to attack.

This hunting method is not smart, but it is very effective. Especially with the sticky jelly-like body of the slime monster, once it sticks to the prey, it is difficult to get rid of it, and most of the body fluids of the slime monster are corrosive strong acids, which wrap the prey and penetrate into the skin. The flesh and bones of the prey are eroded away and transformed into nutrients for their own survival.

The slime monster has neither a well-developed brain nor flexible limbs, let alone superb fighting skills, but this kind of monster is not as easy to deal with as it looks on the surface.

It is difficult for sharp weapons such as swords and arrows to cause fatal damage to its elastic jelly-like body. Instead, it will be corroded and rusted by its acidic body fluids. In addition, mud monsters generally have abnormally high physical attributes, which is really difficult. Kill it completely. What's more, even if you kill it, you won't get any valuable loot. Therefore, when adventurers encounter mud monsters during the journey, they often choose to take a detour to avoid it, and there is no need to fight it.

However, there are always exceptions to everything, and occasionally there will be the kind of weird people who are not afraid of danger and trouble in order to satisfy their curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

For example, the young mage who walked into the lighthouse to shelter from the rain at this moment became very interested in the mud monster disguised as a puddle in front of him. Anyway, traveling outside is to gain knowledge, and he can’t continue on the road before the rain stops, so he decides to spend some time. Time to study this rare and interesting monster.

Judging from its silver-gray color, the young mage preliminarily judged that it was probably a "Plaster Monster".

He had seen related records of the plaster monster in the "Wares Monster Illustrated Handbook". Some scholars believed that this monster was the product of a failed alchemy experiment, but some scholars held different opinions and believed that the plaster monster was a product of magic potion and The accidental product born after the fusion of sewage, grows to a certain extent and will undergo fission and reproduction.

The statements in the book can only be used as a reference. If you want to learn more about this strange creature, you still have to observe it yourself and conduct experimental analysis. The young mage opened the storage bag and excitedly took out a suitcase.

The box is divided into many small compartments, and all kinds of alchemy experiment equipment, reagent bottles, and strange medicines are neatly placed.

The young mage put the portable experiment box under his feet, and then cast the 0-ring arcane "Mage Hand", remotely controlled this invisible magic palm, took out a thumb-thick, half-foot-long glass syringe from the suitcase, fitted it with a needle, After sending it twenty feet away, with a "poof" it plunged into the body of the mud monster disguised as sewage, pulled out a tube full of body fluids, and then pulled back the "Mage Hand".

Looking down at the syringe, the young mage found that the steel needle had been corroded and rusted, but the glass syringe showed no signs of corrosion.

It can be seen that the body fluid of the plaster monster can indeed corrode metals as recorded in the book, but it has no effect on glass products.

The young mage's thirst for knowledge and curiosity were still not satisfied, and then he took out the acid-base test paper from the suitcase to measure the acidity of the plaster monster's body fluid and recorded it in the experiment manual.

Then the acid was dropped on objects of different materials to further test its corrosion. It was found that organic matter such as limestone, bones, and hair can also be eroded by the acid of the plaster monster, while ceramics are completely uncorroded.

The young mage was obsessed with his own research work, but the plaster monster opposite was a little panicked!

With its poor intelligence, it has no idea what that human boy is doing.

First, I pricked it with a thick tube, drew its blood, and smeared its blood on various materials to observe, but I still refused to approach it. All contact was done by remote control, so that it had no chance to launch a counterattack , into a very embarrassing situation.

The plaster monster finally couldn't bear it anymore, and simply gave up its disguise, gathered its body, and turned from a puddle on the ground into a huge hemispherical gray jelly, wriggling like a snail, and stretched out from both sides of its body. pseudopod, trying to actively capture that nasty guy on the opposite side.

The young mage heard the slight sound of the plaster monster wriggling, looked up vigilantly, and observed its original form with rapt attention. There was no trace of panic in his quiet eyes, and he seemingly casually grabbed a glass from the suitcase. Bead, held in palm.

The plaster monster moved very slowly, and the young mage calmly chanted and cast a spell before it approached, while crushing the glass bead in his hand.

"Rúma!"

The glass dust was magically transformed into a translucent magical giant palm, like a large shield blocking the young mage's front, preventing the plaster monster from approaching.

The plaster monster stretched out two pseudo-legs to touch the giant magical palm, trying to corrode the barrier, but the big hand made of force field was not affected by the strong acid. Under the remote control of the young mage, it spread its five fingers and grabbed the plaster monster stand up.

The plaster monster instinctively realized that it was in danger, and hurriedly twisted its body, like a pool of stretched clay, trying to get out of the gap between the fingers of its giant palm and escape from the danger.

The young sorcerer twitched the corners of his mouth, and the big hand with remote control magic power threw up the puddle of gelatin that was about to overflow between his fingers.

The plaster monster flew into the air involuntarily, and its body instinctively shrank into a ball, entering a state of preventing impact.

The young sorcerer took the opportunity to free his hands, remote-controlled "Mage's Strike Palm", grabbed a large clay pot stacked in the corner, and faced the plaster monster that fell from the sky.

puff!

The stucco fell into the clay pot, and a splash of wine splashed from the mouth of the pot.

The young mage walked up to the pot and bent down to peek into it.

Half of the mud monster was soaked in the wine, trying to stretch its sticky pseudopods to climb the tank wall, trying to climb out of the tank mouth.
