Chapter 96 Swamp Attack, the Passionate Swamp Frog Queen
Seeing this, the instructors around Su Xinyan dared not stay near her any longer and consciously shrank into a corner.
It took her a long time to calm down the emotions that had been so intensely agitated by the Ark.
She reached out and poked Fang Zhou's calm face on the live stream screen, and couldn't help but grind her teeth fiercely again.
After leaving the cemetery, which seemed to have become quieter and more peaceful, Ark reconfirmed the direction of the Thorn Jungle.
After that, he led his skeleton army on a rapid march while killing monsters roaming the wilderness.
Before long, the Ark arrived at a swamp.
As far as the eye could see, there were almost no trees, but instead an endless expanse of smelly mud.
A large number of mosses and duckweed, as well as some rotten branches and trunks, and even the bodies of some small animals floated on it, and the Ark could not see any ready-made roads for a while.
At the same time, a hazy mist would occasionally drift over, making the whole scene look extremely eerie.
Fangzhou couldn't help but frown.
This disgusting environment will inevitably greatly reduce his and his army of skeletons' movement speed.
Not only was the muddy ground difficult to walk on, but the fog also made them careful not to fall.
He turned on the hunting recorder and looked at the map again.
This stinking swamp is the fastest route to the thorny thicket.
If he takes a longer route, the distance will double, and he might not be able to reach the thorn bush before the hunt ends.
Fortunately, the [Stinky Swamp] only looks dangerous; it's actually quite shallow underneath.
The map also marks a relatively safe path.
Although it still looks disgusting on the surface, with mud and other things everywhere, you definitely won't get stuck.
However, the movement speed of both the Ark and the Skeleton Army was inevitably reduced.
As he moved forward, he was occasionally attacked by monsters unique to the swamp.
These include swamp mosquitoes, swamp flies, and some mud monsters that look like they are made of sludge, as well as some monsters that look like slugs.
To Ark, the strength of these apprentice-level lower-rank swamp monsters was as insignificant as the mud beneath its feet.
Moreover, they have little intelligence and almost always die as soon as they appear.
However, through fighting them, Ark became increasingly aware of the shortcomings of his squad.
arms!
arms!
The skeleton army needs weapons!
As they walked, the previously silent thermal imaging radar suddenly became active again.
Ark has discovered that the radar function of the Hunting Recorder is not very reliable, and it cannot identify many monsters.
The radar not detecting anything doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any monsters.
But if the radar detects a reaction, it means a large number of monsters are about to attack.
The ark immediately stopped and looked around.
With a buzzing sound, a dense swarm of swamp mosquitoes, swamp flies, swamp dragonflies, and other flying insects swarmed over.
Their numbers are unprecedented.
They even formed a sparse sphere with a diameter of several tens of meters, which looked like there were at least several hundred of them.
Fangzhou quickly realized that something unusual must have happened this time.
Although they had attacked before, they had never fought side by side like this before, and the swamp dragonflies even fed on two other types of flying insects.
In this situation, they are either trying to escape some kind of natural enemy, or they are being driven by some kind of monster.
Fangzhou frowned, retreated behind the skeleton, and immediately organized the skeleton army to form a battle formation on the spot, ready to meet the enemy.
Fortunately, although there were many of these insects, they were much weaker than the ferocious mosquitoes from last night, and they were unable to cause any effective damage to the skeletons' skeletal bodies.
However, due to the lack of large-scale killing skills against these miniature monsters, the Ark's killing efficiency is not very high, relying solely on [Bone Arrow Rain] and the skeletons' bone claws.
To conserve mental energy for the upcoming enemies, Ark simply stopped casting spells and instead hid under the heavy protection of the skeleton army.
In the swamp, the skeleton army stood like an unchanging reef, towering against the onslaught of the insect swarm.
Despite being completely harmless, these mindless insects still swarmed in one after another.
The cracking sound of the skull swinging its claws and the whistling sound of flying insects falling echoed in the air.
Soon, the once dense swarm of insects gradually became much sparser.
Just then, a croaking sound came from behind the ark.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw about thirty humanoid frogs, each about a meter tall, running towards them.
"Demon Swamp Frog?"
Fangzhou became interested and carefully examined these unique monster species found only in the swamp.
Most of these swamp frogs have gray skin and wield bone swords and wooden spears.
However, there are occasionally a few of different colors mixed in, including blue and purple skin, and one red skin.
Their weapons and equipment are also slightly different, appearing more refined, clearly indicating that their respective identities and strengths are also different.
Especially the one with red skin, who was holding a small staff that looked like a withered twig in his hand.
The swamp, which was somewhat unpleasant for the Ark, was like flat ground to them.
Fangzhou roughly counted: one red-skinned shaman at the mid-level apprentice rank, two rainbow-skinned warriors at the mid-level apprentice rank, and about thirty ordinary gray-skinned lower-level apprentices.
The strength of this group of swamp frogs is about the same as that of the goblin tribe in the goblin cave.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong enemy this time.
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!
Having confirmed the strength of the group of swamp frogs, Ark no longer concealed its presence.
He swiftly brandished his staff, and with the added boost from his fully upgraded apprentice set and the newly acquired [Bloom of Sighs],
His spellcasting speed was incredibly smooth.
Skeletal Garg!
Bone Spears!
With a sharp whooshing sound, Ark unleashed a double skeletal attack, pinning the red Swamp Frog Shaman to a rotten tree trunk before any of the Swamp Frogs could react.
Its death had no immediate consequence; the various flying insects that had gathered together, united in their hatred of the enemy and besieging the skull, suddenly panicked.
Instead of launching a unified attack on Ark and his companions, they immediately began fighting amongst themselves.
Dragonflies naturally feed on mosquitoes and flies.
Even after mutations occurred and its size increased many times over, this aspect remained unchanged.
Swamp dragonflies are busy hunting, while swamp flies and swamp mosquitoes are either busy escaping or fighting back.
Few chose to continue attacking Ark and his crew.
The swamp frogs soon fell into a similar state of confusion.
Because after taking down the red swamp frog, Ark didn't stop at all.
He kept casting spells and easily killed all the other blue and purple "leader frogs".
Fangzhou understood perfectly well that these swamp frogs, as natives of the swamp, might have some hidden tricks up their sleeves.
Fighting these indigenous people in the swamp is not the time to conserve energy; we must act quickly and finish the battle as soon as possible.
