Chapter 63: Making an Antidote (Addition 1)

  The second task is still not difficult, but the number of weak zombies is relatively rare, and it's hard to find one even after searching for half a day!

  Fortunately, in team mode, killing one is counted on each person's head, as long as everyone is not too far apart, no matter who kills it, the task completion degree of others will also advance one grid. After another hour of grinding, the five finally killed 20 weak zombies.

  "I'm so furious!" Water Smoke was a hot-tempered person and couldn't take it, "No matter how pitiful that little girl is, if she makes me run around again, I'll make her regret it!"

  Ten minutes later.

  "Waaahhh... Why is my willpower so weak? I see the little girl's appearance and my heart softens!" Water Smoke was full of despair.

  "Haha, forget it, hurry up and do your task!"

  【Power Test (3)】（Task Difficulty: C-level）

  Task Description: Amy asks you to prove your strength by killing 50 clumsy ghouls. You can find these monsters in the Withered Bone Plain north of the village.

  Completion: Kill 0/50 Corpse Eater

  It's okay, the third task requires a surge in the number of monsters to be killed, but the completion speed is actually much faster! Because the clumsy ghouls are all over the map, unlike the weak zombies that are so rare, and not like the pale skulls that don't even drop a finger bone for half a day!

  "I swear, if this little girl makes me run around again, I'll never let her off the hook! Humph, I mean it!" Water Smoke said resolutely on their way back to report their mission.

  Zhang Yang burst out laughing and said: "Little girl says little girl, but doesn't blush!"

  "Anaemic warrior sinister man, I curse you with a circle that you like men!" Water Smoke was furious again.

  "Wow, you're so poisonous!" Zhang Yang exclaimed.

  "You're so poisonous! You're so poisonous! You're extremely poisonous——" Han Chubuzi started singing a famous song from many years ago by a legendary singer.

  Another suicide, five people find Amy for task.

  "Big brothers and sisters, Amy believes you have the power to help us!" The little girl said with red eyes, "Seven days ago, a ghost sorcerer came to our village. He just waved his hand, and a green poisonous fog enveloped the entire village, killing all of us!"

  "He's an evil sorcerer, not only did he take away our bodies, but also our souls! Daddy, mommy, grandpa, grandma and other villagers, all had their souls taken by him. Big brother, big sister, please help me, save back their souls!"

  "Will you help Amy?"

  The little girl looked pitifully at everyone.

  "Waaaah——" The water smoke suddenly burst into tears, with tear glands that made people sigh in amazement, "So pitiful! So pitiful!"

  "But that undead warlock is too powerful! You must prepare yourselves, gather materials to make an antidote, otherwise you won't be able to handle that warlock!"

  "Ding! Amy has assigned you a task: produce an antidote, will you accept?"

  Manufacturing Antidote (Mission Difficulty: A-Class)

  Task Description: To counter the evil wizard's poison, you must first create an antidote to dispel the poisonous fog he has cast! Moon Orchid can be found in Emerald Forest, Corpse Moss can be found in Withered Bone Plain, and Frog King can be found in Misty Swamp.

  Completion: Collecting Moonpetal 0/10, Deadnettle 0/10, Frog Prince's Blood 0/1

  Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yatou and Guai Xue'er go to the Qing Tai Forest to find Moon Orchid Grass. I'll go with Pangzi and Bai Fa to the Wandering Bone Plain to dig up Dead Corpse Moss. After we've found enough, let's meet back at the village and then head to the Foggy Marsh together to catch the Frog King!"

  "Hmm!"

  Everyone went their separate ways, but Han Baozi immediately betrayed the people and strongly demanded to be in a group with Qiao Xueer and others, but was kicked back by the two women.

  Zhang Yang and the other two returned to Wugou Plain once again.

  This desolate bone plain is a leveling area for levels 20 and above, with many monsters at level 25 or higher, having a wide range of hatred, Zhang Yang and his party can't walk a few steps without engaging in a fierce battle.

  Corpse moss grows on the half-buried bones, black in color. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to miss! The three of them fought and picked their way along, collecting at a very slow pace. On the other side, Shui Yan'er was also constantly complaining about how hard it was to find Moon Orchid on the team channel.

  Kill and collect, everyone must complete the task, 50 moon orchids and corpse moss were collected, it took five people two hours to finish!

  Five people gathered at the village entrance and then headed to the Foggy Marsh according to the task prompt.

  The Foggy Swamp is just next to the Emerald Forest and is also a leveling area for players around level 20-30. Since most players are currently stuck at around level 15, this place feels extremely deserted. In the muddy bogs, black water bubbles keep churning up, filling the air with a foul stench!

  "Ugh, it stinks!" Water Smoke and Snowy simultaneously covered their noses.

  "Turn down the olfactory sense in the pseudo-true degree, or simply turn it off, and you won't smell it!" Zhang Yang turned his head to say to the two women, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. The swamp is so big, where can he find the Frog King? He's a reborn person, but not an all-knowing one!

  "Take your time!" Zhang Yang sighed and walked into the swamp first. Generally, the big monsters are usually at the highest point, center or bottom of a certain area. There are quest monster hints in the game, but they only appear on the mini-map when you're close enough.

  There is a path in the swamp, but it's very narrow and hidden. If you're not careful, you'll fall into the mud pit on the side and lose some health. The monsters in this area are all hiding at the bottom of the mud pits and will only pop out when the player enters their attack range, biting them with a "hiss".

  There are iron-skinned frogs, grey-backed alligators and man-eating black fish, each one uglier than the last, causing Water Smoke and Snowflake to constantly criticize the game designer's aesthetic sense.

  They fought all the way, and the five of them gradually penetrated deeper into the center of the swamp. A huge muddy area suddenly appeared before them, and amidst the swirling mist, a massive object, as large as a small mountain, was vaguely visible squatting in the distance.

  The five people's spirits lifted at the same time, and they looked towards the mini map, where a yellow dot appeared clearly!

  "Found it!"

  Slowly moving forward, the huge object in front also revealed its true face!

  A giant toad, over ten meters high, was squatting there, its entire body a deep crimson color. Its two large eyeballs were like two big light bulbs, emitting a dark glow with an eerie and evil aura. "Ribbit", the giant toad croaked from time to time, producing a thunderous sound that shook the sky.

  Toxic Blood Frog King (Bronze Boss)

  Level: 25

  Life: 1.5 million

  "It's still just BOSS!" Han Paozi laughed, "And there are more preparations taken!"

  Zhang Yang was not daring to be careless!

  Although this poisonous blood frog king may not be as difficult as the copy BOSS, the characteristics of the wild BOSS are that it is killed fewer times by players, and there is limited information! Unlike the copy BOSS, what skills to use, how many stages to divide, and how to fight have all been summarized into experience and formed a complete strategy.

  Zhang Yang had never fought this Frog King in his previous life, so he didn't have the slightest idea what kind of skills this giant creature would possess!

  "Let's give it a try first!" Zhang Yang drew out his Silver Scaled Sword, "Comrades, prepare for battle!"

  He took two steps forward, and before he could even launch a charge, he had already entered the Frog King's hate range. The small mountain-like BOSS let out a loud croak and sprang its massive body towards Zhang Yang.

  BOSS pounced out, and Zhang Yang also launched a charge at the same time. The two figures collided in mid-air and both fell to the ground. The Frog King was now completely immune to the stunning effect of the charge and immediately opened its huge frog mouth, biting towards Zhang Yang.

  Dodge!

  Zhang Yang swung his hand and struck a sword, slashing it onto the BOSS's body.

  “－334！”

  The Toad King was injured and let out a loud, strange cry. His mouth opened wide and he spat out a bloody, foul-smelling ** at Zhang Yang.

  "Ding! You are affected by Corrosive Poison (Layer 1), taking 200 points of nature damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds!"

  "Wipe, so ruthless!" Zhang Yang was startled, this toxin is not bad at all, one layer of effect and every three seconds lose 200 blood, if there are many layers, how can it be sustained!

  Han Paozi and others will not idle, immediately launched an attack. Qiao Xue'er also gave Zhang Yang a recovery spell, then read a healing spell.

  The Frog King didn't hit a few times, and "wow" came out with another poisonous liquid, adding another layer of DOT to Zhang Yang. In less than half a minute, Zhang Yang had stacked up five layers of corrosive poison, each DOT jumping was 800 damage, which was quite ruthless.

  Fortunately, it was only five layers high, if it could be stacked infinitely, Zhang Yang would have been poisoned to death.

  "Good dish BOSS, obediently wash your neck clean and wait for death!" Han Baozi grinned eerily.

  "Ding! The Poison Blood Frog King has released a poisonous blood splash!"

  A dark red splash erupted, hitting all squad members, who now have a dark red hue on their bodies. A patch of dark red fog also appeared under their feet, about one meter in diameter. The character's portrait displays an additional "Toxic Blood Corruption" debuff effect.

  [Toxic Blood Corruption]: You have been infected with toxic blood, taking 100 points of nature damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds! The toxin is contagious and each time it spreads, the damage taken increases by 300%.

  Zhang Yang immediately shouted upon seeing the negative effect's description: "Everyone scatter, don't stand together! Little girl, go behind BOSS and fight, keep at least two meters distance from me!"

  But it's too late.

  As a remote profession, Han Paozi, Bai Fa Yizhong and Guai Xue'er stood together. After the damage from the poisonous blood contamination jumped up, they also started to infect each other, instantly reaching an infection rate of 3, increasing the received damage by 900%! This poisonous blood jump alone was 1000 points of natural damage!

  Zhang Yang and Shui Yan Er also infected each other once, turning into Infectious 2.

  Qiao Xue'er hastily chanted the Holy Prayer, then used Recovery Spell and Holy Shield, frantically reading healing spells, but one person couldn't withstand such crazy blood loss!

  "Ding! Player Slender Beauty Boy has died!"

  "Ding! Player Qiao Xue'er has died!"

  "Ding! Player died with 100% accuracy!"

  Therapy for one death, Zhang Yang and Shui Yan'er also can't escape the bad luck, barely holding on for a few more seconds, and went to see the goddess sister together.

  "Ribbit!" The Frog King returned to his original position and squatted down, croaking a few times out of boredom.
