Chapter 61: Salt Lake Monster
After dinner, Gu Mi naturally couldn't go to bed so early.
She thought that there was still some time before she went to bed, so she simply rode on Niya and went to patrol the expanded new territory.
The areas she inspected before were mainly buildings with buildings, and she hadn't taken a close look at the new areas that had not yet started construction.
Not surprisingly, what you can see is a large tract of virgin forest.
There are still a lot of monsters hidden in this forest, and follow-up organizers are needed to drive them away.
No, it seems that there is no need for a special organization to do this work.
Thinking about the group of gryphons in the territory who have nothing to do at the moment, who have eaten and played all day, slept after playing, and slept enough to eat, Gu Mi felt that it was time to arrange them for employment.
They can't be allowed to eat and drink for free in the territory, right?
Because of the follower contract, Niya, who was in the same mind with Gu Mi, vaguely sensed the master's thoughts, but she just flicked her tail and didn't respond at all.
Expelling demon beasts is a big and troublesome project for humans, but for the griffins, which already regard other demon beasts as hunting objects, it is just a temporary change of hunting grounds.
It's just that this venue does not allow direct hunting, but to drive the prey first, and only those who cannot be driven away can be caught and eaten.
Flying in the sky, no matter how much you control your speed, is much faster than walking on the ground.
Soon, Niya took Gu Mi to the place she most wanted to see.
-salt lake.
The expanded territory, as Gu Mi calculated, can cover the entire salt lake that is not far from their territory. Now this salt lake belongs to Gu Mi's territory, but the big guys in the habitat may not want to agree.
When Niya passed over the salt lake, a translucent tentacle suddenly stretched out from the lake and stabbed at Niya fiercely.
Niya was startled and immediately flapped her wings to raise the distance.
She was fast, and the length of her tentacles was limited. The two brushed past each other. No one touched the other.
"Roar!" The
griffin leader felt that she was being provoked, she roared, her wings slammed, and the sharp feathers were wrapped in a fierce wind, and they plunged into the water more fiercely than the attack of the tentacles just now. The unknown creature hiding inside.
Being attacked, the opponent twisted frantically under the pain, and countless translucent tentacles slammed into the water, stretched out from the bottom of the lake, and attacked Niya frantically.
However, to no avail.
Because Niya can fly, as long as she flies high enough, the opponent will not be able to hit her, and as an aquatic creature, the opponent cannot do without the restraint of water.
The thing hiding in the water obviously has some wisdom. After realizing that it can't attack Nia with its tentacles alone, it left to change its strategy, stirred the lake water under the water, and used its skills to condense sharp water arrows. , shot straight at Niya.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (2
) The sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to sound.
With her super-high flying skills, Niya dodged left and right in the air, accurately dodging the attack of every water arrow.
Gu Mi, who was sitting on her back, was still steady, as if it had grown on Niya's body, and was not affected by her violent movements at all, but her face at this time was not good-looking.
Because of the water arrows shot by that thing under the water.
It was a water arrow condensed from salt lake water!
Perhaps for it, the water arrows condensed from the high-salinity lake water will be more lethal. After all, what it feels like to wash the wound with salt water, everyone who has experienced it knows that once it is injured, even if it is only a little bit of skin. , can cause severe pain.
But for Gu Mi, who already regarded the salt lake as his own, the water arrows shot by the thing at the bottom of the lake were completely wasting her salt.
That's salt!
One of the resources that the territory is currently in short supply, how can it be so wasted?
Because of the other party's move, Gu Mi, who still wanted to watch the play, couldn't sit still.
She raised her hand and waved, and the pure white fiery arrows condensed in the air, aimed at the thing under the water, and attacked fiercely!
call out-!
The white flame arrow broke through the air, and wherever it passed, even the air was slightly distorted by the high temperature.
Seemingly aware of the power of the White Flame Arrow, the things at the bottom of the lake quickly stirred up countless tentacles, driving the lake full of water to form a thick layer of water shield, protecting itself behind the water shield.
"Boom!" The
white flame arrow collided with the water shield, and there was a violent cracking sound. The water splashed in all directions, and fell back into the lake. The steaming water mist rose. A little bit of crystal white salt crystals.
That's salt distilled at high temperature.
The steaming water mist clouded his vision.
He didn't notice what was hidden at the bottom of the lake, a huge swirling figure volleyed down into the sky, unfolded four sharp claws with sharp undercuts, swooped into the bottom of the water fiercely, grabbed it fiercely, and then violently flapped its wings and rose into the air. .
"Crash—"
A giant mass was forced to burst out of the water.
Leaving the protection of the lake, it wiggled hundreds of tentacles in a panic, constantly wanting to slap the griffin that was holding it tightly, but it slammed on the hard turtle shells one after another, in addition to hurting its own tentacles Besides, the culprit who caught it out of the water couldn't be hurt at all!
—Gu Mi, who silently cast "tortoise shell", hid his merit and fame deeply.
"Roar—!" Niya let out a long roar, flapping her wings one after another, flying toward the higher sky.
She thought of throwing prey to death in the sky.
This is the best way to hunt griffins.
The high-speed air flow hit the face head-on, like a knife, it was painful, and the air at high altitude was thin, which also made Gu Mi feel a little difficult to breathe.
But still enduring the range.
However, realizing that the owner was threatened from outside, the "Guardian Medal" immediately popped off a transparent protective cover, covering Gu Mi, which made her feel a lot better.
Without the unpleasant feeling of skyrocketing, Gu Mi only had the time to look down.
"..." She wanted to change her eyes that had never seen this thing.
I saw that the big guy Niya grabbed from the water looked like an octopus, but it lost more SAN than an octopus. The hundreds of smooth and translucent tentacles alone were disgusting, not to mention other A messy look.
It seems that this thing feels that it is hiding in the salt lake every day, and no one looks at it, so it grows up casually.
Just when Gu Mi was polluted by the octopus monster under the lake, Niya had already flown several kilometers above the sky.
She randomly selected a place that was not within Gu Mi's territory, released her claws, and threw the octopus monster down.
From a distance, Gu Mi could only see the figure of the octopus monster gradually shrinking and disappearing in the dense forest. The distance was too far, and there were obstructions, so she could not see whether the octopus monster was killed by the fall.
But soon she will know the answer.
Because Niya took her, swooped and chased after her.
The falling speed is always faster than the sky. In the blink of an eye, Niya and Gu Mi appeared at the place where the octopus monster landed. In the center...
a mess of mud.
After leaving the water, and being smashed down from such a high altitude, even as a level 35 water-type beast, the octopus monster couldn't stand the toss and whistles directly.
After killing the prey, Niya happily landed on the ground, stepped on the ground with her limbs and claws, jumped in place twice, then flicked her tail, rushed up, buried her head in the mud, and twisted it a few times, except for a similar one. Yu turned round beads made of tourmaline and handed them to Gu Mi.
"For me?"
Gu Mi was a little surprised that he would receive a gift.
Niya moved her head forward again and motioned for Gu Mi to catch it.
At Niya's urging, Gu Mi still stretched out her hand to take the gift she gave, and threw an identification technique on her head.
"Avoiding water droplets: A limited number of items dropped by water-type monsters, you can walk freely underwater with this item.
"
In her previous life, she had heard about the reputation of this item, but she had never really seen it. As a result, she now relies on Niya to easily get one.
"Thank you Niya, I like this gift very much."
In return, Gu Mi pulled out ten pieces of the animal meat of the blue flame rhino leader from the card book for Niya to eat.
Leader-level monster meat is a great supplement for leader-level monsters.
Niya obviously liked Gu Mi's return gift.
She barked happily twice, and was not ready to eat the octopus monster she wanted to eat, so she turned her head and buried herself in the pile of animal meat to feast on it.
While Niya was eating, Gu Mi decomposed the body of the octopus monster.
"Congratulations on getting Octopus Whiskers*100, Octopus Rice*1, Equipment·Octopus Skin Wetsuit (Yellow)*1, Equipment·Tentacle Whip (Yellow)*1, Skill·Water Vortex (Yellow)*1, Skill·Water Shield (Yellow*1), Skill·Water Arrow Rain (Yellow)*1, Copper Coins*5000."
It may be because the Octopus Monster was not killed by Gu Mi, and there is no double reward for skip-level kills, so the things dropped on it Not many, the quality is also very average, Gu Mi didn't even bother to study by himself, so he just put it away temporarily.
Niya quickly finished eating the animal meat, and rubbed her big head back to look for Gu Mi to act like a spoiled child. With her big golden eyes, she knew she was begging for food.
He just took away the spoils of Niya's prey, so Gu Mi would not treat her badly at this time.
She took out another ten pieces of leader-level rhino meat and fed it to her.
After eating this time, Niya may be full, and she didn't ask for food anymore, but consciously lowered her upper body so that Gu Mi could climb onto her back, and then spread her wings and took her back to the territory.
They didn't leave the territory very far, so it took less than a few minutes to return to the territory.
Gu Mi was sent back to the door of the village affairs center. She turned around and went in, holding Niya's big head with both hands, and tiptoed to explain something in her ear. Niya nodded her head as if she understood, and then spread her wings and left .
After a while, the griffin herds inhabited in the arena poured out of their nests, ferociously heading straight for the beasts who had been trapped by the unfortunate after the expansion of the territory.
According to the instructions of taking care of rice.
Their attitude towards the beasts is to expel them first, but if they cannot expel them, they will hunt them down and eat them as food.
And some harmless animals were spared.
It's okay to keep these small animals, and it's too troublesome to drive out or kill them, so she just doesn't care.
The "God-level perception" covering the entire territory gave feedback on the progress of the gryphon herd's work, and the results were very gratifying. Perhaps by the early morning of tomorrow, the clean-up of monsters in the territory could come to an end.
Nodding with satisfaction, Gu Mi turned around and stepped into the upgraded village affairs center.
This was the first time she stepped into the village affairs center after it was upgraded.
The hall on the first floor, which has become much wider, has changed a lot, and the wall panels that were originally hung on three sides have expanded a lot, and different areas have been distinguished in detail.
For example the taskbar.
On the left is the release mission area dedicated to Gu Mi as a lord, which can also be regarded as the official mission area of the territory.
On the right is the private task area, where citizens in need can freely issue tasks on it.
In front of the fence that occupies an entire wall, there is a long counter, and behind it is the office area for the staff of the village affairs center.
As a lord, Gu Mi can release tasks at will through the authority of the lord, but the lords are not allowed to touch the task bar at will, and need to go to the corresponding counter to handle the business, and then the counter staff will assist in releasing the task, and pay a certain fee and follow-up. Pay half of the task reward in advance as a deposit, so as to avoid the task issuer breaking the contract halfway, causing losses to both the recipient and the territory.
The transaction column is also similar, distinguishing between the official section and the private section, and a staff counter is also set up at the front.
Only the front of the bulletin board is empty, without any obstructions, for official use only, and private announcements are not allowed.
After all, publishing announcements on the bulletin board is the exclusive authority of the lord, and it has certain restrictions and orders on the lords, so it cannot be arbitrarily handed over to outsiders.
