Forgemaster: My Legendary Weapons Turn Max Level Automatically

Chapter 25 Sludge Monster Boss, Gigantic Form

However, before they could react, they heard the sound of water splashing around them.

Lin Xiu only saw a green shadow suddenly jump out of the water, and immediately pounced towards the nearest Wan Zhuoyun!

[Hint: You have been regarded as prey by the Underground River Sludge Monster. You have automatically entered combat mode!]

[Underground River Sludge Monster]

[Race: Inspineless Creature]

[Level: Level 5]

[HP: 320]

[Attributes: Attack 12, Physical Defense 12, Magic Defense 0, Agility 5, Spirit 1]

[Active Skills: Level 1 Slime Spray (Spits corrosive slime, reduces durability by 2 points to any armor or weapon that comes into contact with it. Cooldown: 10 seconds), Level 1 Pounce (deals double physical attack damage to the enemy, reduces speed by 30%. Lasts for 4 seconds. Cooldown: 5 seconds]

[Passive skill: Level 1 Split (When HP is less than half, two Sludge Monsters with attributes halved will be split. Level 1 Sludge (Physical damage received will be reduced by 20%, 15% chance of embedding the opponent’s weapon)]

[Strength evaluation: This is a group of monsters who mainly deal physical damage. They are extremely troublesome creatures. If they are accidentally embedded in their weapons, they can only be retrieved after killing them.]

The sudden change left the three of them unable to react.

Wan Zhuoyun did not even notice the Sludge Monster’s approach. He lost his balance and almost fell into the water.

Even though he struggled to break free at the critical moment, he still received 2 points of basic damage and was slowed down by 30 percent!

It was as if he was stuck in a swamp, unable to move his legs.

“Quickly go ashore. There are many Sludge Monsters approaching from the water!”

Sensing that the riverbed was constantly bubbling, Lin Xiu knew that it was not good, so he immediately reminded.

Ever since he entered the water, he had been the last one. At this time, he was only a few meters away from the original river bank.

As the leader, Wan Zhuoyun was naturally the one who went the deepest.

The current was turbulent and it was inconvenient for him to walk. Now that he had been slowed down by 30 percent, he walked like a turtle.

“Oh no!”

Ding Shiyu quickly realized the seriousness of the problem. She immediately used her Wind Blade to force back another Sludge Monster that was about to attack. Then, she immediately rushed towards Wan Zhuoyun, planning to pull him away quickly.

As a Warrior, Wan Zhuoyun’s movement speed was his weakness. Now that he had two speed reduction buffs on him, he definitely would not be able to walk out by himself.

Fizzzzz!

Just as Ding Shiyu walked to Wan Zhuoyun’s side, the Sludge Monster hiding at the side immediately launched an attack, spraying a dark green corrosive liquid at her.

Ding Shiyu subconsciously raised her staff to block. The dark green liquid immediately emitted white smoke when it came into contact with the staff, corroding it into a shallow pit.

“Get lost!”

She looked at her Apprentice Staff, which had lost two points of durability, and her heart ached.

In her anger, she directly condensed several wind blades and instantly sent the Sludge Monster flying.

However, after one Sludge Monster was repelled, a few other monsters rushed over to fill the gap, and it seemed like they were going to surround the two of them to death.

At this critical moment, Ding Shiyu could not care less about anything else. She immediately took out two bottles of Windrun Potion from the System inventory!

“Hurry up and use it. Don’t waste any more time,” she handed one of the bottles of green medicine to Wan Zhuoyun and said with an ugly expression.

The two of them crushed the potion and their bodies immediately became light.

Immediately, they broke free from the Sludge Monster’s attack and rushed to the riverbank seven to eight meters away as if they were flying on water.

A Windrun Potion could increase the user’s movement speed by 60 percent for two minutes and was immune to most of the speed reduction buffs. Most Classes with good conditions would carry one with them for emergency use.

This kind of buff potion was not only light and easy to carry, but its effect could also take effect immediately. It was a treasure favored by many Class-holders.

However, these things also had a flaw, which was that they were relatively expensive. Just the potions that Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun had used just now cost about 10,000R each, making people love and hate them at the same time.

After all, a piece of Gold-grade equipment, which was considered early-stage equipment before level 10, was only a few tens of thousands. In comparison, it was enough to prove how expensive it was.

The two of them returned to the riverbank with nervous expressions.

No one knew if the Sludge Monsters would come ashore. If they were chased into the cave by the Sludge Monsters, they would have to disband and leave the Frost Cave.

On the damp and cold riverbank, Lin Xiu looked at the Sludge Monster floating on the surface of the river, his expression somewhat nervous.

After the previous battle, he had already used up more than half of his mana. Moreover, the Sludge Monsters had a high resistance to physical damage. If he really started fighting, it would probably not take long for his axe to get stuck.

At that time, he might very well quit this adventure regretfully because he did not have enough mana.

Under the gazes of the three of them, the Sludge Monsters had already swam to the river and were staring at them restlessly.

However, rather than staring, it was more like perception.

The Sludge Monsters had lived in the cold and dark river for a long time, and their eyes had long since degenerated, turning into a single eye that could only sense weak light.

Sensing smell was their only way of locking onto their prey.

Seeing that those Sludge Monsters did not have any intention of going ashore, Lin Xiu and the other two heaved a sigh of relief. However, before they could completely relax, a ferocious roar suddenly came from the cave that was sealed by the underground river!

The roar was like thunder, shaking the entire cave.

The Jade Guardians on the other side seemed to have seen something terrible and retreated like a receding tide.

Lin Xiu immediately had a bad feeling. He subconsciously looked behind those Sludge Monsters.

A large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the rapid underground river, as if something huge had woken up from the riverbed.

“I can’t be that unlucky, right? Could it be that I’ve met a Boss?!”

Wan Zhuoyun’s face was a little pale. He stared at the churning river not far away and calculated in his heart. If a huge monster really appeared in the river, he would immediately disband the team.

As for the plan to target Lin Xiu, he had long thrown it to the back of his mind.

After all, the premise of carrying out the plan was to survive. He had already experienced many dangers, and his heart was like a taut string that could break at any time. On the side, Ding Shiyu and Lin Xiu both subconsciously took a few steps back, their gazes fixed on the restless water surface.

The water continued to churn, and the Sludge Monsters near the shore seemed to have been summoned by something and moved aside. At this moment, the three of them saw a huge monster covered in mud suddenly rush out of the water and let out a deafening roar! The monster looked similar to the Sludge Monsters, but it was much larger. At this moment, the monster was staring at the three people standing on the shore with a pair of black eyes. The monster opened its mouth and revealed terrifying fangs. A lot of viscous liquid flowed out from its teeth and dripped into the water!
