Chapter 152: Defenseless Against Them
This person later sent a picture.
There was a medium-sized cut on the ankle, still bleeding, staining the edge of the trouser leg red.
Eating Rice is for the Superior, [I was wearing close-fitting long johns inside, how did I still get hit? Health Points dropped another point! Does any big brother or big sister know what’s going on?]
Lao Zi Yu Hai: [I thought it was something serious, this little injury will heal in a bit, what are you howling for.]
word duck: [No other negative status? What thing is this powerful.]
Eating Rice is for the Superior: [@Lao Zi Yu Hai, if it were you, you’d scream louder than anyone, quit pretending!]
Player 24580: [Is the road ahead that scary? Is it the primitive forest map? I said we should go slower, there’s still time to prepare and buffer.]
Shadow Master: [You’re too naive, you want to wait for others to scout, but by then you’ll be too late even eating shit hot. The trading platform trend changed yesterday afternoon, don’t believe me, check yourself, clean water, water collector, water purifier, electrolyte beverage are all gone.]
A bunch of people watching the fun, probing for intelligence, talking trash, few really giving advice, until the next message appeared.
Han Jiang Gu Ying: [The wound looks like mountain leech, you’d better find a safe place to check other parts of your body, long johns are useless, after it bites the wound blood won’t solidify.
You can press to stop bleeding, bandage it, be careful of infection, severe cases can lead to encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever, you must have gone into the forest on both sides of the road, right? When the grass is damp, they come out.]
Eating Rice is for the Superior: [Damn! Thanks big shot, I just went to pick up a box earlier, but didn’t go deep into the forest, just a little by the roadside.]
After a few minutes, this person anxiously sent another message.
[It’s really this thing! Found another one on my thigh, oh my god, boss-sized, help, normal mountain leech aren’t this big, my health value dropped 5 points.]
Luò Tuó Xiángzi: [Bro, you said health value dropped 1 point before, now 5 points, isn’t it possible there are more you haven’t found?]
Moon: [This is terrifying.]
Six Pence: [Hurry and check again, any intelligence on mutant mountain leech?]
Eating Rice is for the Superior’s hair stood on end, he got hit himself, why share intelligence for free on public screen for these armchair critics.
[!!! Buying insecticide! Bring price.]
After saying that, he private chatted Han Jiang Gu Ying, to show thanks, and to build relations with a player famous in area 002, proactively sent the light screen scan info.
Han Jiang Gu Ying copied it to the team channel.
“Mutant mountain leech, mildly toxic, adults up to 51~65mm, be careful, it can burrow into nasal cavity, throat to suck blood, health value below 60 may cause headache, weakness symptoms, below 40 may cause coma, fever.”
He added, “Normal mountain leech are smaller, about 30mm, this thing is more
Purple Butt Can Do It: “Plastic Raincoat, high-top plastic shoe covers have already been collected overnight. Unless I see a Silver Box, I don’t want anything else. This is too terrifying. The horror stories I heard as a kid were about a belly full of leeches. Here, it might actually become real.”
Strawberry Candy: “I’ll fight you rich merchants to the end.”
Purple Butt Can Do It’s Wealth Value is sufficient to support him giving up some regular supplies, but most regular players can only take risks.
“If I could fight, I wouldn’t have chosen to do it this way either『sigh』,” Purple Butt Can Do It said helplessly.
He also envied that Strawberry Candy could deal damage with high defense, while he was just a squishy merchant.
Everyone hopes to have super strong strength, but this isn’t determined by profession, and it’s impossible to reselect once.
The most important thing is to hunker down first, survive, and then we can talk about other things.
Han Jiang Gu Ying reminds: “Be careful when the ground is too damp; wearing plastic shoe covers makes it easy to slip and fall.”
Purple Butt Can Do It: “Got it, haven’t received the Hiking Rain Boots yet, so use this to make do for now. The Merchant Caravan is also keeping an eye out for Insecticide Spray supplies at the moment; I’ll let everyone know right away if there’s any news.”
Yu Jiang looks at her achievement panel: Poisonous Spider Hunter grants immunity to low-level insect and arthropod toxins.
Mountain Leech is an arthropod, its toxin can’t affect her, and Health Value won’t drop much even if bitten, but Health Points will still drop. The key is that the wound heals slowly in the Rainforest environment, and looking at that soft and squishy creature without feet makes me feel disgusted too.
Yu Jiang gathered medicinal herbs roadside on the road, and put on another plastic raincoat over her body.
When coming back, they hopped two steps at a time, nimble like Monkey, jumping out at the fastest speed.
This thing is hard to defend against. By the time you see it, you’ve often already been hit.
In just this short moment, two small ones appeared on Yu Jiang’s raincoat, and they were wriggling hard to find a spot to bite.
Luckily, her defense was in place, and she had none on her.
Yu Jiang really wanted to throw away all the raincoats, but reason made her take out the dagger and lighter to handle them.
Doomsday resources are scarce, so if it can still be used, it can’t be discarded.
The map just switched to Rainforest, but the days ahead still have to go on, and we’ll have to get used to it sooner or later.
First heat the dagger, then scald the mutated mountain leeches off one by one.
They have not only mutated in size and toxicity, but their vitality is also more tenacious. The dagger scalds them with a sizzling smoke, yet they still live, wriggling on the ground, their suckers lifting and extending toward her finger, this scene making one’s arm break out in goosebumps.
Insecticide Spray is useful, but there’s no need to waste it here.
Yu Jiang took out a dry branch, lit it, and burned all the mutated leeches on the ground with a scorched smell, ensuring they were completely dead this time.
Yu Jiang did not put the raincoat back on the vehicle, feeling a bit psychologically uncomfortable with it, and placed it in the rear storage box for easy access.
She has whole rooted mint and mugwort plants, and the temperature is just right now, so no insulation cover is needed.
Both plants have insect-repelling effects. Regardless of whether they work here or not, put them out first.
The rectangular metal cage at the rear of the vehicle is the flower stand, crafted by Sixth Brother Blacksmith, with dense and sturdy metal bars. Place two pots here, and put two smaller ones next to the sink and window in the kitchen inside the vehicle.
The planting soil obtained from the farm is better than ordinary soil and won’t breed insects.
After doing these things, Yu Jiang returned to the driver’s seat and continued on her way.
This map has quite abundant medicinal herbs for gathering; mid-to-high-level medicinal herbs that were hard to see before appeared several kinds within just three hours in the morning.
This is good news for alchemists. Seize the opportunity to stockpile medicinal herbs, craft finished products to level up; at the same time, the danger of gathering medicinal herbs has also increased.
Relying entirely on buying medicinal herbs is expensive, and continuously killing monsters to earn crystal coins may not sustain it. The team can’t possibly put all resources on the healer.
To level up faster, she still has to gather them herself.
Another reason is that the drug manufacturing level will only get higher, and the required medicinal herbs will be the same.
If not starting to gather from the junior illustrated guide, later medicinal herbs can’t be unlocked. After the advanced illustrated guide, there are special medicinal herbs, and all sorts of mutated plants can’t be gathered either, and achievements might be missed, which is very disadvantageous.
According to the information collected by Yu Jiang, not many players have the medicinal material illustrated guide, and even fewer have unlocked it to advanced.
Next chapter will be late~ Writing speed is a bit slow today.
