Chapter 223 Frogborn Winner
【You quietly lurk at the bottom of the water, waiting patiently. 】
【A moment later, you see a small submarine approaching quietly with rolling propellers. 】
[This is a submarine full of steampunk style. The back is a propeller and a jet barrel composed of hinges and gears. The side of the spherical hull is equipped with three fin-shaped metal wings to improve the stability of the submarine. Steering ability, in front of the spherical submarine, two metal tentacles protrude like bugs, serving as working arms. 】
【In front of the submarine, two eye-like searchlights emit anti-invisibility beams, sweeping towards the nearby area. After confirming that there were no living figures, the submarine continued to approach. 】
【After moving to the explosion site, the two working arms of the submarine stretched out, collecting pieces of unstable sulfur floating in the sea, and sending them back to the storage device on the top of the submarine. 】
[Through the transparent shell of the spherical cabin, you can vaguely see a small yellow-skinned goblin sitting in the cabin, wearing a hat equipped with a waterproof mirror, with a breathing valve in its mouth, and manipulating the directional joystick and instruments in the cab plate. 】
【Obviously, this is the culprit who framed you just now, you choose...】
Three options [launch an attack], [appear to negotiate], [continue to lurk].
After thinking for a while, Mu You held the pocket watch, and then clicked on the 'extensible chain claw' on the panel.
【You threw the chain claw towards the goblin submarine, the chain claw flew across quickly, and accurately grabbed the submarine's flank. Turning back towards you. 】
【However, just when you were about to capture the submarine, the goblin in the submarine sensed an abnormality and launched a self-destruct on the spot. 】
【In the bursting flames, the submarine shattered into wreckage, and the goblin in the cabin disappeared. It must have been teleported to the resurrection point. And the strong explosion also attracted the attention of the surrounding self-explosive fish, and a large number of self-explosive fish rushed towards you...]
"Depend on!"
Mu You's eyelids twitched, and he pressed the watch immediately.
Self-destruction again, why do these goblins like to play self-destruction so much...
But having said that, the self-explosion spell is really easy to use, no need to cast spells, anytime, anywhere, you can explode if you want, the damage is not high, and it is extremely insulting!
Mu You couldn't help but want to learn one too. Cooperating with the resurrection teleportation, it's simply a magic trick!
【Back in time, you have returned to before throwing the chain claw, this time you choose...】
【You chose to continue lurking, waiting for the goblins to approach. 】
No way, this goblin is more vigilant than he imagined, like a frightened bird, it will explode at the slightest sign of trouble, Mu You can only find another way.
While lurking and waiting for an opportunity, Mu You searched around in the ring, and finally looked at one of them.
【Jin Knocker: When hitting the enemy’s chin, there is a certain chance that the enemy will be stunned for one second, and the trigger rate is equal to the difference in strength between the two sides -20. 】
This is a black iron-level mace weapon. It was captured in the previous battle with the Tenth King and his gang. The effect is also worthy of its quality. It is weak and has no additional attributes. This kind of powerful control, but it must hit the chin, and the battle that can hit the chin head-on usually means crushing the combat power. Whether there is a second of dizziness will not affect the result.
Secondly, the trigger conditions for this thing are quite harsh, and the probability depends on the difference in strength between the two sides minus 20! In other words, the user's strength value must be at least 20 points higher than the opponent's to have a chance to trigger, and if you want to trigger it stably, you must be 120 points higher than the opponent...
To put it simply, this is a decoration that seems to be useful, but it is useless in actual combat.
But right now, this useless mace is just good enough to play a role.
Mu You's power panel is 18 points. During this time period, the vampire skin has a 70% bonus. The current total power is 31 points.
And what about the goblin on the opposite side?
【Goblin Engineer (level 7), strength: 3, agility: 2, intelligence: 47, constitution: 9...】
According to the information fed back from the Omniscient Crystal, this is a level 7 goblin, and the level is not bad. However, the goblin race is born with a weak physique and has no combat ability. It can't bring growth to strength, agility, and intelligence by leveling up. Unexpectedly high.
In short, the power gap must satisfy the mace requirement. As for the chance of stun, with a pocket watch in hand, such things as chance are meaningless to him.
Mu You made the character stand still with the mace in his hand, and continued to wait for the opportunity silently.
【The goblin submarines came all the way, and soon came to a location near you. 】
【The mechanical arm of the submarine pops out towards an unstable piece of sulfur not far in front of you, and accurately captures the sulfur. However, there was a problem when it was returned. 】
【You did some tricks secretly, causing the robotic arm to get stuck between the rocks, and the joints couldn't stretch for a while. 】
【After many unsuccessful attempts to control the submarine, the goblin hesitated for a long time, opened the hatch, swam out wearing waterproof goggles and a breathing valve, and swam to the robotic arm with the toolbox in an attempt to check the fault. 】
【Seeing that the goblin is getting closer and closer to you, and has entered your attack range, you choose...】
【You swung the mace hard at the goblin's chin, the goblin was hit so hard that he vomited blood and flew up, his teeth shattered all over his mouth. It's a pity that the stun effect was not triggered, the goblin was suddenly attacked, and without thinking about it, it launched a self-destruct...]
"Backtrack!"
Mu You didn't expect to succeed once, so he immediately pressed his pocket watch and repeated the steps just now.
After twelve consecutive attempts, finally, the stun was triggered.
【...The mace hit, the goblin only felt a buzzing in his head, and fell into a dizziness. You stepped forward with quick eyes and hands, and poured the sleeping potion into the goblin's mouth. 】
【The sleeping potion took effect quickly, and the goblin fell into a deep sleep before the stun was lifted. You bound the sleeping goblin tightly, then opened the storage bottle, and threw the goblin into the bottle...】
【You have obtained 'Goblin Submarine', 'Unstable Brimstone*124', 'Goblin Toolbox'*1, 'Fish Repelling Magnetic Field Generator'*1, 'Self-Destructive Fish Burning Rod'*10. 】
Successfully captured a goblin alive and seized a bunch of things.
Mu You Click to view in turn.
[Goblin Submarine: An alchemy product produced by the Goblin family. It can carry people to sail underwater. It needs to consume unstable sulfur as a power source. The sailing speed can be adjusted. It is equipped with mining mechanical arms and invisible searchlights, which can detect invisible units. . (The right mechanical arm is damaged and cannot be retracted)]
【Goblin toolbox: A special toolbox made by the goblins. Although it is small in size, it has all kinds of internal organs. It contains various engineering repair tools, which can be used to repair various alchemy products. For goblin use only. 】
【Fish Repelling Magnetic Field Generator: One of the additional components of the Goblin Submarine. It is installed inside the submarine. When the device is activated, it will emit a magnetic field that is disgusting to fish, thus protecting the submarine from most magical fish attacks. 】
【Self-explosive Fish Burning Rod: A special prop for self-explosive fish. It is an alchemy prop made of young self-explosive fish roe. It can be burned on the bottom of the sea. The light emitted will make the surrounding self-explosive fish lose their minds and launch crazy self-explosion towards the light. 】
"It's really shameful..."
Seeing the description of the last thing, Mu You finally understood what the firecrackers were just now.
No wonder the text described that the self-explosive fish came to blow him up "as if seeing an enemy". This incendiary stick was actually made of self-explosive fish fry, isn't it revenge for killing his son...
This thing was made, obviously, it was specially used to collect sulfur, because the fuel that the submarine needs is unstable sulfur.
And this goblin is also very shrewd. When he pitted the self-explosive fish, he didn't forget to trap other creatures passing by. While harvesting sulfur, he could also collect other monster materials.
It's a pity that it encountered a tough stubble this time, and was caught instead and became a prisoner.
If it was another creature, Mu You might have killed it directly, but the name of this goblin shows that it is still a 'Goblin Engineer', and it may have other uses, so he took some effort to capture this goblin alive .
Storing the wine bottle can prevent the goblin from exploding and escaping, but there is also a problem with the wine bottle, that is, the inner wall of the wine bottle cannot be destroyed unless the owner is in the bottle.
And it is impossible for Mu You to stay in the wine bottle for a long time... After thinking about it, it seems that right now, he can only use the sleeping potion to keep him unconscious, and bring the goblin back when he enters the door tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
As long as he comes to the earth and has no chance of resurrection, the goblin will naturally not dare to blow himself up casually.
Then Mu You entered the backpack space, found an open space, and clicked on the text of 'Goblin Submarine'.
A spherical submarine with a height of less than two meters appeared on the grass.
It's just that at the head of the 'Fat Head Fish' at this time, one of the mechanical arms stretched out three or four meters and could not be retracted.
Mu You went to check it, and found that only one of the movable joints was deformed, which made it unable to stretch normally.
"Quick Fix!"
Mu You took out his staff and cast a repair spell casually, which restored the damaged part to normal, and the mechanical arm was automatically retracted immediately, returning to the form of 'tentacles'.
The appearance of this submarine is only 1.5 meters, and the interior space is of course even smaller. Mu You opened the hatch and saw that there was only a low metal chair in the cabin, and the control panel was in front of it. The space was so narrow that a normal-sized person like Mu You couldn't get in, probably only humans like goblins. Just the right size for a child.
After thinking about it, Mu You switched to the Fortune Teller skin.
The fortune-teller looks like a petite woman with a height of just 1.5 meters. After trying it, she was able to enter. Although the cabin is still crowded and there is almost no room for movement, the submarine can be used at least.
After confirming this, Mu You sent the submarine back to the game and switched the character to a fortune teller skin.
【You drive the goblin submarine to set off, and adjust the speed to: second gear, with a sailing speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Current fuel remaining: 95%, estimated fuel exhaustion time: 9 hours and 31 minutes. 】
【The submarine entered the entrance of the culvert, and the searchlight helped you to see what was ahead. Inside the narrow ditch, countless large and small self-explosive fish were sleeping on the surrounding rock walls, almost covering the entire culvert. 】
"This place is indeed a lair of self-destructive fish..."
Mu You understands a little bit, no wonder no one has discovered this underground canal. The density of self-explosive fish in this place is too high, and ordinary people have no chance to get close to it.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Mu You, if only relying on the ghost cloak every few minutes, it is impossible to pass through such a long underground canal at one time. The only way is to pile up with life.
And the beavers were able to ascertain the terrain of this passage and even draw it on a map. It seems that they have some way to deal with the self-destructing fish.
【The magnetic field generator continuously emits a magnetic field, and the surrounding self-explosive fish automatically avoid it, and the submarine can safely travel in the narrow passage...】
Mu You compared the map and constantly adjusted the direction to avoid going astray.
After traveling for half an hour, they finally crossed the trench.
【... After walking for a long time, you seem to see a faint light coming from ahead, so you hurriedly speed up. After a few seconds, you successfully broke through the exit of the culvert and entered a brand new water area. 】
【You have arrived at ‘Stanlow Freshwater Lake’. 】
"finally reached…"
There is no need for a submarine when you get here. Mu You controls the character to leave the submarine, put the submarine in the backpack, restore the vampire skin, and then swim to the lake, ready to see what is going on on the lake first.
He was thinking that it had been so long, the group of guard knights couldn't be idling around a frog all the time, right? It might have been gone long ago.
It turned out that he still took it for granted.
【You remained invisible and floated quietly to the surface of the lake. 】
[But the moment you showed your head, the anti-hidden equipment placed around you clearly detected you. Nearly a hundred guard knights suddenly appeared by the lake, and countless attacks hit you in an instant. Was instantly emptied...]
"Good guy..."
Mu You shouted that he couldn't be offended, pressed his pocket watch decisively, turned around and returned to the lake.
He couldn’t figure it out, even if it’s the fool’s familiar, it’s just a little frog with no combat power, is it worth so many people’s efforts?
And, since they've assembled so many people, why don't they just go in and hunt them down?
Unable to figure it out, Mu You had no choice but to continue diving to the bottom of the lake, planning to find the frog first.
【You dive straight to the bottom of the lake. The average depth of the lake here is about 280 meters. After you have been sneaking for a long time, you finally touch the ground. 】
【Standing on the sand at the bottom of the lake, you are about to explore forward, when you suddenly see several strange-looking frogs swimming around. 】
【These frogs have skins of different colors. The only thing they have in common is that there is a seed the size of the frog growing on the back of these frogs, and flowers of different shapes bloom from the seeds. 】
【In the crystal of omniscience, the information of these frogs is fed back. 】
[Flower Frog: A strange magical frog with a bud seed attached to its back. The seed will grow with the growth of the Frog. It likes to eat all kinds of magic plants. It changes from seed or pollen, and if a flower with poison or strange ability grows behind it, it will also have the same toxicity and ability itself. 】
【These frogs quickly surrounded you and spit out venom at you. 】
【With a large amount of venom superimposed, you will soon be poisoned to death...】
"What the hell?"
Mu You was stunned. He came to look for Frog Boy, but a group of poisonous frogs suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake and poisoned him instantly.
And this strange shape description, why is it a bit like a frog seed?
Before he had time to think about it, Mu You immediately pressed his pocket watch, and teleported away from the spot before the poisonous frogs surrounded him.
[Swimming back into the lake, you can see dense flower-planting frogs appearing below, each frog has various types of poisonous flowers and plants growing on its back. A large number of poisonous frogs have lived at the bottom of the lake for a long time, causing the lake water at the bottom of the lake to be covered by a layer of thick The venom is deposited, and anyone who approaches the bottom of the lake at will will be entangled in the venom until he dies from the poison...]
Mu You finally understood why those knights outside dared not go into the water, the water is so poisonous...
The reason why so many knight guards gathered here is probably not for the frogs, but to prevent these poisonous frogs from escaping and harming the surrounding people. After all, this place is too close to the capital. If these poisonous frogs run into the nearby rivers and pollute other living water sources, there will be serious problems.
But having said that, the poison at the bottom of the water is so strong, wouldn't my own frogs also be poisoned to death?
Mu You opened the panel and took a look. In the column of Familiar, the name of Pocket Toad is still listed, obviously still alive and well.
【You continue to wander in the lake water at the bottom of the far away lake, looking for traces of the pocket toad. More and more flower frogs appeared and gathered at the bottom of the lake, staring at you vigilantly, as if warning you not to approach. 】
Fortunately, these frog seeds seem to only regard the bottom of the lake as their territory, as long as they are not close to the bottom of the lake, they will not actively attack.
Mu Youzheng was pleased that he had found a pattern, but before he could swim far, he was slapped in the face by the following text.
【A planting frog suddenly breaks away from the bottom of the sea and swims towards you quickly. 】
【There is an ice blue flower growing behind this flower-growing frog, which is a beautiful but poisonous flower. And this flower frog, like the flower behind it, has beautiful ice blue patterns all over its body, as beautiful as a wave in the blue sea, but this beautiful appearance also means that this flower frog has a deadly tinge. toxicity. 】
【Seeing the highly poisonous frogs rushing towards you, you plan to...】
Three options: [Preemptive attack], [Turn around and run away], [Stand still].
Shooting directly here may cause a riot among the frogs below, so Mu You chose to "stand still" and was going to see what the frog was going to do first.
Fortunately, the poisonous frog didn't come up to attack, but swam to him and stopped, and started to communicate with him.
【The ice blue frog stopped in front of you, and after circling you, it seemed to confirm something, and handed you a magic letter. 】
【You took the letter and checked it, and found that it was actually written by Pocket Toad. 】
【The letter described what happened to the pocket toad: It turned out that it was hunted down and fled to the bottom of the lake. After finding that it could not go out, it could only hibernate at the bottom of the lake. In order to save his life, the pocket toad took advantage of its specialty, stole the "magic fungus spore sac" of the frog king, and swallowed it into his stomach, so that he was immune to the toxins at the bottom of the lake, but he was also caught by the furious frog king. It was imprisoned and tortured in various ways to force it to hand over its sporangia. 】
【Pocket toad would rather die than submit. During the process of being imprisoned, it accidentally met one of the descendants of the Frog King, the most beautiful ice blue frog in the planting frog family. Because the flower-planting frog family lived at the bottom of the lake all year round, and their knowledge was limited, the pocket toad easily conquered it by relying on years of travel and knowledge, and hugged it and gave birth to it...]
Seeing this, Mu You spit out the tea that he had just taken from his mouth.
He looked at the front and thought that Frog Boy had suffered a lot of grievances, but in the end, he turned from a prisoner to a door-to-door son-in-law, won Bai Fumei, and went to the top of Frog Boy.
How long has it been since I left, I have children...
