Chapter 77: The Southern Four
The significance of the sentry post was vividly reflected in this battle.
Matthew had never thought of fighting against the three evil organizations on his own, and so after the failed ambush, his tactics immediately changed to delaying and probing.
And Ella didn’t disappoint.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves.
A total of eight cavalrymen had successfully arrived in front of Matthew.
The leader of the group was Blake, who was fully armed, and Zeller, who was dressed in casual clothes. The remaining six knights were also armed to the teeth. Matthew knew that they were not members of the garrison but the lord’s guards.
"His Lordship already knows. He ordered me to come over first, and follow-up reinforcements are already on the way.”
Zeller dismounted and stood beside Matthew.
The Knights, on the other hand, were slowly advancing with their spears in their hands.
Under the night sky.
The three-meter-long spear gave off an extremely oppressive feeling.
This was a real military weapon!
Even Anderson, who thought highly of himself, was no longer arrogant. He did not dare to continue chasing but hurriedly retreated to the entrance of the mine.
Blake and the others were about to give chase.
Matthew quickly reminded them,
“Be careful. Those wooden boxes are strange!”
Hearing this, the knights hurriedly tightened their reins.
The moonlight shone on the barren land in front of them.
There were more than ten wooden boxes scattered around the corpses of the kobolds. A few of the boxes had been knocked open by the fall, and they looked empty.
However, Matthew’s nerves were beating violently.
"Be careful!”
"It’s ‘Molting Gel’. Do you have sight powder?”
He saw the notification.
He knew that the monster in the wooden box had sneaked over under the cover of the night and in its unique form.
Without saying a word, Zeller threw a glass bottle at the empty space in front of him. With a bang, the bottle shattered, and light purple smoke spread out from it. Wherever the smoke went, some of the molting gel that was originally difficult to distinguish with the naked eye was instantly dyed with a thick layer of purple!
This was sight powder, a powerful tool for mid-and low-level adventurers to fight against invisible units. The disadvantage was that it was expensive, and even Matthew could not afford it.
The fastest molting gel was already close to its position.
The horse at the front suddenly raised its front hooves in shock and neighed.
The knight managed to maintain his balance and pulled the reins to the side.
Blake reacted quickly and stabbed his spear forward.
The iron spear easily pierced through the jelly-like body of the molting gel, but the latter was only nailed to the ground and could not move. It seemed that it was not dead.
"We can’t kill them like this. We need fire or lightning, or we can just dry the water in their bodies.”
As a mage..
Matthew’s basic skills were still passable. The molting gel was a kind of Sludge-like monster, and its form was transparent and jelly-like.
Their movement speed was not fast, but they were also extremely easy to miss.
Once a living creature accidentally touches the Molting gel, the gel will rapidly expand and engulf the living creature at the fastest speed. The person wrapped in the Molting gel will suffer great pain for 72 hours. They will not be able to escape or struggle and can only await the arrival of death.
Their flesh, blood, internal organs, and even bones would be easily digested by the Molting Gel, leaving behind only a few strands of hair and complete human skin.
The molting gel would spit out the human skin and hair after digestion. After leaving it in place, it would set off to look for the next prey.
It was precisely because of this characteristic that some evil spellcasters or organizations would store molting gel and use it to skin themselves. Of course, there were many examples in history where they were accidentally eaten alive because of the molting gel.
This thing was far from being as clumsy and harmless as it looked.
Matthew reminded everyone.
Everyone began to eliminate the molting gel.
Zeller also carefully calculated the number of wooden boxes to prevent any of the molting gel from getting away and harming the residents nearby.
Matthew took advantage of this opportunity to cast the Undead Summoning Spell on the pile of Kobold corpses!
[Hint: Undead Summoning has been successfully cast. You have obtained 30 Silver Moon Kobold Zombies (Average Level 6). ]
[You have obtained 3 Kobold Skeleton Soldiers (Average Level O.]
After a round of summoning, Matthew’s mana was mostly depleted.
The kobolds who had been fighting for the Order of Calamity instantly turned into undead and turned against them.
Other than three whose corpses were too damaged by Eli and thus could only be revived as skeletons, the rest of the kobolds were all transformed into Silvermoon Zombies.
Compared to the Silvermoon Zombies transformed from humans, these undead kobolds were smaller in size and lower in level, but they also inherited the characteristics of ” Bark Spell, ” Moonlight Power,” and ” Holy Moon Armor.”
Other than their reduced agility, they were stronger than living kobolds in all other aspects!
This was the first time Matthew had controlled so many undead creatures at the same time.
However, he did not feel flustered.
Instead, it felt like he was playing an RTS game.
He drew a frame in his mind and ordered the kobolds to attack, defend, or idle. Easy orders could usually be carried out smoothly, but it was difficult to give more detailed instructions.
If he wanted to carry out more detailed micro-control, Matthew had to learn the magic skills related to ” Group Control.”
With the help of the Kobold Zombies, he cleaned up the Molting Gel.
The pressure on the knights was instantly reduced.
They turned their attention to the entrance of the mine..
