Earth Player chapter 27

 Irish Town (9) 

Killing All Around

     The next day, the mercenary group got up very early.

     As soon as the sun rose, everyone was ready to go.

     Unlike yesterday, there was more time today. Captain Hook’s target was no longer a single free-range monster, but a group of monsters with relatively low combat power - minks.

     Minks, as the name suggests, are water monsters, a type of mink monster that likes to live in places with water.

     Master Ian once said that the magic power of primary water monsters is limited.

     They can only gather water molecules in the air nearby, and will not control the entire water area like mid-level monsters, nor will they have abnormally terrifying threats and attacks on human blood like high-level monsters.

     They are the easiest to deal with among low-level monsters.

     But it does not mean that they are not dangerous, especially in groups of monsters. Even ants can bite elephants to death.

     Another mission of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group is to get the fur and claws of minks, as well as more than 5 first-level water crystal cores. Under the leadership of Captain Hook, the mercenaries quickly found a place with water in the forest. They walked along the water source at a distance from the stream in the forest.

     Gradually, the messy bushes decreased, the green moss on the ground increased, and the rare insects began to appear. The common insects that survived were very poisonous.

     Ye Mo was covered from head to toe with the irritating insect repellent powder given by Alice, otherwise she would have been bitten by countless poisonous insects.

     Ding ding dong dong, the sound of running water became louder and louder.

     Captain Hook made a gesture, and the members slowed down their steps, walked more than ten meters, stopped, avoided the horizontal branches and leaves, and looked into the distance. A small waterfall in the forest appeared in front of everyone.

     Ye Mo also saw minks.

     There were about twenty of them, which were a circle larger than the average mink on Earth. Their fur was white with a little blue. They were drinking water or playing in the waterfall in the forest.

     This time was a test of the tacit understanding of the mercenaries.

     Jack climbed up the leafy green tree. Captain Hook was in the front. The five swordsmen stood in an orderly manner. Deputy Captain Thomson stayed in the back row beside Alice and Ye Mo.

     Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

     Three iron arrows were fired at the same time.

     The minks were not slow. The sneak attack still injured the hind legs of a stupid mink, and the other two successfully avoided it.

     "Squeak!"

     After discovering that there was a sneak attack by humans, except for the one that fell into the water with a hind leg injury, the remaining more than 20 minks ran in the direction of the sneak attack.

     It was exactly what the mercenary group planned.

     The closer the water monsters are to the water source, the stronger their abilities are. That's why they didn't sneak attack at the waterfall.

     Swoosh——

     The leading mink was getting closer and closer.

     Suddenly, a black figure jumped out of the woods next to it and swept a sword at all the minks. Bang, the soil on the ground was swept up into the air by the orange sword energy.

     As mid-level swordsmen, Captain Hook's orange sword energy was darker than Deputy Captain Thomson's yellow sword energy, and its power was also huge, affecting all twenty minks.

     One of the front row was headshot on the spot, and the others were more or less injured.

     Facing a group of monsters is different from facing a single monster. The swordsmen must use all their strength, so they may not be able to leave any alive to be slaughtered. This was also agreed with Ye Mo before.

     Captain Hook's battlefield has begun.

     Although his current swordsmanship is not as powerful as the first strike, it is several times stronger than that of a junior swordsman.

     Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

     The archers disrupted the minks and prevented them from surrounding Captain Hook and his men.

     At the same time, four junior swordsmen appeared at the same time and joined the melee with the minks. The attack ability of the first-level minks is mainly water arrows, which is not as good as the sharp weapons in the hands of the swordsmen.

     The whole situation was controlled by the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.

     I have to praise that, whether it is an archer or a swordsman, their trust in each other and their tacit understanding of cooperation are amazingly high.

     A beautiful team battle!

     It was also the first time that Ye Mo saw the unscientific sword energy that could be released to hurt people. Magicians and swordsmen are the most famous professions in this world, and swordsmen are the most numerous among mercenaries.

     The important reason may be that everyone can learn swordsmanship.

     As long as the talent is not too low, you can become a junior swordsman, but the intermediate swordsman, advanced swordsman, and legendary swordsman levels require high talent.

     Only from the intermediate swordsman can you use the sword to release sword energy.

     Ye Mo speculated that this kind of sword energy is still related to the magic environment of the Celtic continent, because the different colors of sword energy and the external colors of different elemental magic are similar.

…

     Just when the situation was completely under control, five cream-colored figures with different speeds appeared in Thompson's sight in an instant.

     "Watch out for wind foxes!"

     He shouted, picked up the sword and joined the battlefield without hesitation.

     Ye Mo watched for a minute before she was sure that these palm-sized cream-yellow animals might be mini foxes. It turned out that not all the magical beasts in the Celtic continent were enlarged versions, but they might be reduced.

     But compared to minks, mini foxes are small and extremely flexible, making them more difficult to deal with.

     Jack and Alice were also trying their best to support.

     Compared with Jack's arrows, Alice's magic fireballs obviously lacked attack power, and her fireballs could not do anything to the foxes at all.

     Whoosh——

     The cream-yellow little figure was approaching!

     Ye Mo was on guard from the beginning, even though the battlefield might not have much to do with her.

     Therefore, when a new mini fox appeared, she took the initiative to run forward a few steps, picked up the fire axe and chopped it decisively without hesitation.

     Hit the target!

     Chi, the mini fox spurted blood, and Ye Mo immediately made two more cuts to end its life.

   【Main Quest 2: Hunting 1st-level Magical Beasts (8/100)】

     "Maria!"

     Alice's cry made Ye Mo tighten her waist and abdomen and quickly move aside.

     Despite this, she was scratched by the sharp claws of the mini fox that jumped down from the tree.

     The black cloak and clothes were cut open, and a cut was made on the arm, and red blood flowed out from the green skin.

     It turned out that there were two mini foxes attacking!

     It was really the first time that Ye Mo was injured. Her mind was blank for two seconds, and her reaction was slow. She didn't react until she was scratched for the second time.

     She dodged and chopped at the same time.

     The second fire fox that attacked was faster than Ye Mo and was scratched twice. Fortunately, there was a special armor on her chest, otherwise the injury would be more serious.

     Compared with low-level magic beasts, Ye Mo's wisdom is still higher than theirs.

     While being injured, she accumulated combat experience and soon found that the speed of these two was not at the same level, and one was much faster than the other.

  【Survivor Ye Mo suddenly exceeded the critical value of agility, agility attribute +1. 】

     Now!

     Ye Mo deliberately exposed a flaw to attract the fastest mini fox. At the cost of being injured, she pulled out a dagger from her arms with her left hand, aimed at the fox, and stabbed it fiercely.

     "Squeak!"

     The fox screamed.

     Success!

     Take advantage of its injury to kill it, five consecutive slashes!

   【Open side quest 2: Hunting 3rd-level monsters (1/10)】

     No wonder!

     The mini foxes are not all 1st-level monsters, and there are actually 3rd-level monsters hidden inside.

     The remaining third low-level fox is relatively simple, 

  【Main quest 2: Hunting 1st-level monsters (9/100)】

     Bingo!

...

     "Hu——"

     After Ye Mo solved all three foxes, she looked around and found that others were busy fighting other mini foxes and minks. There were more mini foxes than minks, about thirty-five of them. The swordsmen had no time to save people, so they tried their best to lure the monsters to their side.

     The remaining back row was naturally the most unlucky.

     Especially the archer Jack, who had already fallen from the tree.

     Ye Mo ran directly towards the archer and hacked at the three mini foxes, angering them and attracting them to her side.

     Chila!

   【Survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical value of agility, agility attribute +1】. 

   【Survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical value of spirit, spirit attribute +1.】

One, two, three! 

   【Main Quest 2: Hunting 1st-level Magic Beast (10/100)】

   【Side Quest 1: Hunting 2nd-level Magic Beast (2/10)】

   【Main Quest 2: Hunting 1st-level Magic Beast (11/100)】

     Ye Mo had no time to care about her own wounds, nor to save the archers on the ground, and even less time to care about the Magic Beast Crystal Core and the system's ding-ding-ding prompts, and rushed quickly towards Alice.

     Perhaps because of fear of fire, Alice only had one Magic Beast Fox by her side, but this also almost exhausted her magic power, and she also had wounds from burning herself, and her melee weakness was too obvious.

     Ye Mo: Kill!

   【Side Quest 1: Hunting 2nd-level Magic Beast (3/10)】

     Bang!

     The dagger and the fire axe accidentally touched each other, and the axe blade seemed to have changed shape a little?

……

     "Thanks, here, the hemostatic potion."

     Alice's face was pale. She threw two bottles of potion to Ye Mo. She looked at a place in front of her and drank a bottle of hemostatic potion with difficulty. She closed her eyes and seemed to be enduring something.

     Ye Mo understood her meaning instantly.

     She handed a bottle of potion to Jack, who was limping towards this side, and drank the other bottle with her head tilted back.

     Then she took a breath.

     Drinking the potion did not stop the bleeding immediately. The hemostatic potion acted on the blood circulation of the body. The wound was like being sprinkled with medicine, and it was painful and itchy.

     Ye Mo, who had never been injured so badly, blinked her eyes a little uncomfortably, trying to blink back the physiological tears.

     Half a minute passed,

     The bleeding speed of more than 20 cuts on his body was greatly relieved.

   【Detected that the survivor Ye Mo broke through the critical value of physical fitness, physical attribute +1. 】

     "???"

     It was another surprise to have such a benefit when drinking the hemostatic potion for the first time.

……

     Alice sorted out the back row.

     Jack stopped bleeding and started to provide long-range support. He climbed up the tree and shot even with his limping legs.

    Ye Mo also suppressed the question mark in her heart.

     The battle continued. Captain Hook and his men had no problem with minks, but for the first, second and third level spirit foxes, the speed is not enough.

     After all, their speed was not as high as that of the archers!

     If they had no conscience, Hook and Thompson, especially Captain Hook, could have left secretly, but they resolutely chose to continue fighting with the members, which was touching.

     Ye Mo joined them without hesitation!

     Her speed was only a little slower than that of the archers, and her strength was a little stronger than that of the junior swordsman. Her combat experience might not be enough, but it was enough to kill the cunning first and second level spirit foxes.

     When facing the wind-type mini foxes, speed was still the most important. As long as they were hit, they would be injured.

     Kill, kill, kill!

     Captain Hook and other swordsmen also noticed Ye Mo's advantage.

     The height of the goblin was only up to their waist, but the fighting power she showed was no weaker than that of the mercenaries. She was definitely the MVP of the whole battle.

     Small in stature, huge in energy!

     What they didn't know was that Ye Mo also felt that her mental strength was insufficient, so she added a free attribute point to her mental strength, and that her physical strength was insufficient, so she added a free attribute point to her physical fitness.

     This can instantly clear the negative value, which is considered a bug given by the system for clearing the level. 

     This indirectly proves the importance of free attribute points.

     Unfortunately, she have too few free attribute points and they have all been used up.

     With the addition of Ye Mo, the situation was successfully reversed, and the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was finally able to regain control of the overall situation. After another half an hour, the battlefield was finally coming to an end.

     Whoosh!

     Ye Mo did not forget to borrow Jack's bow and used her mental power to kill the mink with a broken leg in the small waterfall in the forest.

   【Main Quest 2: Hunting 1st-level Magic Beast (31/100)】

   【Side Quest 1: Hunting 2nd-level Magic Beast (7/10)】

   【Side Quest 2: Hunting 3rd-level Magic Beast (4/10)】

     The number of Magic Beasts killed was amazing.

     Most of the ones killed by Ye Mo were mini foxes.

     Because the mini fox was a Magic Beast that could pretend to be dead and sneak attack, but Ye Mo's mental power and the system's prompts prevented it from pretending to be dead, and she made many finishing blows.

     Accurate and efficient!
