Chapter 152: Rat Hole Monsters, Level Up
Relying on the joint skill "Thunder Egg Explosion", Mark and his assistants only need six eggs and one naughty bomb to violently suppress an entire area filled with a large number of monsters... It should be like this.
However, the group of ratmen below are different.
Each wave of six powerful bombs did cause considerable casualties to the ratmen group, but it did not have a strong dispersal effect on more ratmen.
Obviously, many ratmen who were not directly hit by the bombs were crying crazily because they looked directly at the strong light, and blood began to ooze out of their ears as if their eardrums were ruptured, but they still did not choose to flee.
Instead, they tried their best to tear off the limbs of the dead or barely alive ratmen around them, and stuffed them into their mouths desperately.
It was as if the strong hunger was what they feared most compared to death. They would rather be blown to death in the next second, and they would find ways to fill their mouths and stomachs.
This kind of group characteristic that has an appetite stronger than death is also something Mark has never seen before, which gave him a feeling of uneasiness like the first time he faced a monster.
What's more terrifying is that after smelling the smell of blood and cooked meat here, more ratmen came out from all directions, almost all of them joined the strange ranks of snatching food and being blown up. Only a very small number of individuals that are different from ordinary ratmen in terms of size and equipment wandered in a farther position, watching from afar.
Then, after being sniped by Lucia, the figure disappeared.
But the number of ordinary ratmen is too large. They are obviously wild monsters in nature, but it seems that there is no limit to the number. They are endless and can't be blown up at all.
After a while of continuous bombing, the ground was left with ratmen corpses that exuded a disgusting smell. However, the number of ratmen still did not decrease. Instead, the eggs that had been laying eggs crazily for a while began to lose their physical strength. If there were no physical supplements exclusive to Pokémon, that is, PP supplements, these eggs might not be able to lay eggs today.
Mark had prepared the supplements, of course. He and his assistants had them, but the problem was that he had not expected that there would be a group of monsters that could withstand a whole round of thunder bombs from his side.
And judging from the situation, they might be able to easily withstand another round.
This situation also made Mark hesitate whether to use the pp supplements here.
"Huh? Why are there still explosions?"
Mark, who had seen his assistants shaking their heads after checking the status of the eggs, still heard a strange explosion coming from below.
Looking down, Mark found that it was the corpses of rats that were exploding, and the explosions were mainly flame-based, not the explosions of his own eggs with lightning attributes.
Soon Mark found the source.
It was Comrade Luke, who was like a conductor of an orchestra, pointing the tip of the stick in his hand at the bottom and constantly drawing elegant arcs.
Starting from the second wave of chain explosions from Mark's side, Luke had already mixed in, selecting the appropriate complete corpses to release the corpse explosion of the necromancer.
If one word is used to describe Luke's state at this time, it would be - it's awesome.
For Luke, the endless swarm of rats below is even more exciting than the cattle farm in Diablo 2. Every time a corpse explodes, his experience bar soars a little.
Even Impmon and Viper's Thundergolia were released to gain experience under Luke's intervention.
The three-in-one Magnetron's lifeboat is always stable.
By the way, the appearance of Impmon did not cause any reaction, but the appearance of the Thundergolia juvenile really scared many people present. However, when they saw the Thundergolia completely calm down after Viper pressed his head, Mark's assistants, who are more or less experts in animal training, immediately showed admiration to Viper.
Compared to the cattle farm where he still needs to run around, Luke doesn't need to bother gathering monsters in the miasma canyon. These ratmen, who have no idea how many there are, will gather by themselves because of the blood and flesh on the ground. They will desperately pick up the corpses of their own kind and stuff them into their mouths, and then be directly blown into pieces by the rat corpses in their hands, becoming new corpse explosion materials.
Compared to the tired eggs, the only thing that can restrain Luke's corpse explosion behavior is the number of mana potions and his own perseverance.
And Luke's mana potion reserves, including micro and light, still have about 100 bottles.
If you don't count the warm air mana recovery bonus provided by the Eagle Mana Orb in Luke's other hand, Luke can at least throw about 240 corpse explosions, and according to the density of these ratmen, it shouldn't be a problem to blow up about 2,000 more.
The experience points provided by these ratmen, most of whom are the lowest-level miscellaneous soldiers, are not much different from those of the fallen demon group. The experience points that each one can provide are between more than 40 and more than 80.
Under the strange gaze of Mark and others, Luke, who threw the 25th corpse explosion today without any signs of exhaustion, came to [lv11, 72166/90180].
Considering the uncontrollable dangers that might be faced when going down to roar corpses and pick up potions, Luke tried to invest 1 free skill point in the "Steel Stomach" branch of finding potions.
[Steel Stomach lv1: When you use regular consumables, the final recovery effect is increased by 50%. ]
The simple and unpretentious effect of drinking medicine is improved, but it is also the effect that Luke needs most now.
Originally, 3 bottles of micro mana potion can support Luke to throw 4 corpse explosions, but now Luke can throw 6.
It seems that the number of ratmen killed in the forecast will increase again.
However, due to Luke's low mana bar limit, if he points to Iron Stomach, the extra mana recovery may be wasted due to the low mana bar limit, so Luke did not add more points to Iron Stomach.
Now Luke still has 1 free skill point that can be used to save the fire at any time, and the main skill level of "Finding Potion" has reached lv8.
Perhaps because he was stuck in the previous level from lv9 to lv10, Luke thought that if his main skill reached lv10, there might be some special strengthening branches.
It can be said that it was very natural and smooth. The focus of the entire Miasma Canyon Expedition Team shifted from Mark to Luke. Mark, who did not see any reluctance or unwillingness, began to actively adjust the movement direction of the electromagnetic lifeboat, while avoiding possible long-range attacks, and trying to create a suitable casting environment for Luke.
Lucia also gave up her inefficient bow and arrow method of killing rats early on, and instead focused on dealing with enemies that might threaten Luke.
In addition, Viper Red Shadow and the others were originally guards, so it can be said that this group of people was just about to surround Luke as a human wall.
Luke was also very powerful. The corpses never stopped exploding. When he was short of mana, he ate blue bottles fiercely, and when he was physically exhausted, he ate white test tubes directly.
Corpse explosion! Corpse explosion! Corpse explosion again!
There was no smoke, only pure corpses exploding. Originally, because the rat people had a very strong metabolism and were always hungry, they ate all the organic matter they could see, so that the upper layer of the miasma canyon, which had become too "clean", was once again filled with corpses.
But this time, the rat people's own corpses were used.
Miasma canyon is not a monster's nest after all, or even if it is a real monster's nest, it can't withstand the tossing of Luke, a real beast.
When the number of corpse explosions rose to 150, the number of "refreshed" ratmen failed to catch up with the number of casualties from the explosions for the first time, and Luke and his team had to deliberately leave gaps for the ratmen to gather in groups before detonating.
When the number of corpse explosions rose to 220, there were no more ratmen in the crowd.
According to preliminary estimates, combined with Mark's previous militarized hunting behavior, the expedition team killed nearly two thousand ratmen.
Seeing that there were no more ratmen in the field of vision, Luke finally sat down in the electromagnetic lifeboat, as if he had been pressed on the bed for three days and three nights. He was exhausted, even drinking physical potions was useless, and his eyelids were bulging frighteningly.
But his expression was happy.
Because his experience value had been fixed at nearly 180,000, and his level had officially reached level 15!
