Chapter 1123 The Road to Bombs

Pork Chop had an excited and even somewhat fanatical smile on his face.

Combat cats in the general sense are divided into two branches: melee cats and bomb cats.

Although he is equally good at melee combat, Pork Chop, who loves to study all kinds of big bangs, is emotionally inclined to be a bomb cat.

Putting aside the technical factors such as the timing of throwing bombs, the role that a bomb cat can play in battle naturally depends on the type and power of the bomb.

In the early hunting, bomb cats were very advantageous. Even ordinary small barrel bombs could blow monsters like the big boar king and the speed dragon king dizzy if the timing of throwing was good.

But when hunters enter the four-star and five-star levels and need to face large flying dragons, beast dragons, or other large monsters with thick skin and flesh, the small barrel bombs most commonly used by bomb cats appear to be relatively weak, and the large barrel bombs with sufficient power are too large and inconvenient to carry.

So the bomb cats of this period will appear to be relatively weak.

Melee cats are the opposite. Melee cats that grow up with hunters gradually begin to master the power of fighting spirit during this period. With high-quality weapons and flexible skills, their combat effectiveness is not even much inferior to hunters.

Pork Chop has of course also faced this dilemma, and it has two solutions.

One is to study various new bombs, such as more powerful rocket bombs, gyro bombs to distract monsters, incendiary bombs that can continue to burn on monsters, etc., which were all studied during that time.

The second is "join if you can't beat them", and it has grown in martial arts, trap layout, first aid, and even cooking during that time.

When it came to its senses, it had become a true all-rounder, and could proudly say "a bomb cat that can't use a cat sword to open the monster's head is not a good cat chef".

At this time, it also promoted to the upper realm with Gordon and began to face various ancient dragon-level creatures with amazing strength.

Melee? Bombs? Support? Or healing? It doesn't matter anymore. Facing the ancient dragon, it is impossible to win without trying its best and using all means.

At that time, Zhu Chop was about to succumb to reality and give up his love for explosive bombs. In order to make up for the lack of frontal combat capabilities, it also learned the advanced skills of ghost transformation, which is generally only learned by powerful melee cats.

During that period, it did not use explosive bombs very often, but mostly used steel claws to scratch and cat swords to chop.

But the finalization and mass production of high-density dragon-killing carbon in the later period, as well as the successful development of supernovas, made it see the future of explosive bomb cats.

The explosive bomb cat is weak in the later period? That's purely because of insufficient equivalent meow!

As long as the explosive power is strong enough, the ancient dragon will be blown up for you to see meow!

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea. If Zhu Chop can really replace all the conventional explosive bombs he carries with high-density dragon-killing carbon, the combat effectiveness will indeed be quite scary.

But that is not very realistic. The blending cost of high-density dragon-killing carbon is too high, and the small amount of it is snatched by Ansir to make supernovas.

It has to be said that the power of this thing is only suitable for making artillery shells and crossbows.

Use it to throw. I'm afraid that the explosion radius will be greater than the throwing distance.

Therefore, Zhu Chop has always wanted to find a high-quality explosive that can achieve a perfect balance in power, cost, stability and other aspects.

Originally, Zhu Chop aimed at the degraded mass-produced version of Dragon Killer Carbon developed by the alchemists led by the Alchemist Granny in the battle to stop the Molten Dragon.

The power is good, and the material cost is acceptable. The only flaw is the catastrophic instability. After the blending is completed, it can basically not move, and a slightly violent vibration may detonate it.

There is a solution, which is nothing more than passivation, but the result is a sharp drop in power, which is not worth the loss.

Just when it was trying to solve this problem, Babaka and the drunkards sent a sample of ancient slime mold.

Intuition told Zhu Chop that the upper limit of this slime mold is higher, so it changed its research direction.

After this period of unremitting efforts, the slime mold bomb that can be used in actual combat has finally taken shape.

Gordon, Feng Ying, and Hayata squatted around Pig Chop, looking at the strange bomb in the latter's hand, which was about the size of an adult man's fist.

This thing doesn't look like a bomb. Generally, the shell of a bomb is made of wood, which is light, strong, safe, and inexpensive.

But the shell of the bomb in Pig Chop's hand is made of thick glass, and the hunters are very familiar with that shape.

"Isn't this a standard medicine bottle?" Feng Ying muttered.

"That's right!" Pig Chop put his hands on his hips, "The ancient slime mold is very powerful, so a little amount of medicine is enough. If it doesn't need to be made bigger, the advantages of the wooden shell are also available in glass, and the medicine bottle is ready-made!"

"That makes sense." Hayata nodded, "Glass jars are easy to break if they are large, but small glass bottles are very strong and can withstand bumps."

To be a widely used medicine bottle, the reliability of this type of glass bottle is absolutely guaranteed.

Gordon picked up the glass bottle and looked at it. He found that it was half filled with moss with soil and a small amount of amorphous fluorescent yellow slime mold that looked like snot.

"Is this a bottle-shaped culture dish?" he couldn't help asking.

"That's right, it's very safe at this time!" Pig Chop shook the glass bottle vigorously.

The soil, moss and amoeba in the bottle were poured over and over, but nothing happened.

"Then how do you detonate this thing?" Feng Ying asked.

"You need to put in a 'fuse'!" Pig Chop took out a small sealed glass tube that was as thick as a little finger and two or three centimeters long.

The glass tube is filled with a light blue liquid.

Feng Ying understood somewhat, "Is this filled with nutrient solution?"

“It’s almost the same, it’s a special nutrient solution that has been adjusted according to the ‘taste’ of ancient slime molds, and the enzymes used to activate the slime molds are also in it!

As long as these cats are touched, the slime mold will grow rapidly, and then activate and detonate the cats in just a few seconds! "

Feng Ying thought of something, pinched her chin and said, "What you said reminds me of a special kind of monster?"

"Meow?"

"There is a unique monster called 'Galan Orangu' (rigid beast) living in Elgad. It secretes a kind of body fluid that has the effect of quickly promoting the growth of various plants and moss. What is it called? It's special. Thick body fat liquid?

If you use that thing as a nutrient for slime mold, will the effect be amazing? "

"The effect should be very good, meow." Pig Chop looked at her sideways, "But is it possible to get something like that now, meow?"

"Well, it does seem impossible." Feng Ying smiled dryly, "Next time a liaison ship comes, maybe you can write a letter back and ask Lie Yan to help send some?"

"We'll talk about those things later." Gordon waved his hands, "Let us see how this thing works first and how powerful it is?"

"Watch it, meow, that's how it's used, meow."

As Pork Chop said, he took off the lid of the glass medicine bottle and stuffed the glass tube containing the nutrient into it.

"In this way, even if the fuse is installed, you can do this step before the battle, so you don't have to worry about accidents such as accidental explosions."

As he said that, Pork Chop shook the glass bottle vigorously again.

The glass tube hit the thick wall of the glass medicine bottle and broke immediately. Nutrients mixed with enzymes for activation were sprinkled on the slime mold in advance. The slime mold multiplied rapidly, filling the entire glass bottle in the blink of an eye, and then radiated danger. of red light.

"Meow!" Pig Chop threw the glass medicine bottle that had turned into a powerful explosive bomb.

The medicine bottle, no, the slime mold explosive bomb drew a parabola and fell to the ground dozens of meters away.

The moment it touched the ground and was impacted, there was a flash of explosive flames.

"Boom--!"

The ear-splitting roar swept all around along with the blast wind, and the hunters couldn't help but raise their arms to block the incoming wind and sand.

When the sand and dust dispersed, a large crater nearly one meter in diameter appeared at the impact point of the slime mold bomb.

"Tsk, tsk." Gordon clicked his tongue, "Such a small one is almost as powerful as a barrel of explosive bombs, isn't it?"

"Meow hahaha! Almost meow!"

"It is indeed a bomb named after a mushroom." Feng Ying grinned, looking proud.

"But as expected, I still want to call it slime mold bomb meow."
