Being an otaku in the world of American comics

"But~ now that we're talking about witches... I seem to remember some information in the game saying that witches only spawn if there's a witch hut!"

Thinking of this, Liang Yue, who was chewing on sugarcane like a starving ghost, stopped. He gently stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Witch huts... If I remember correctly, these wild structures should only exist in swampy terrains, right?"

"Speaking of swamps, is there such terrain in this forest?"

As soon as this thought arose, Liang Yue couldn't contain himself. He immediately threw the sugarcane aside and climbed to the top of a tree, using both hands and feet.

"I remember the direction the witch came from last night, it should be~ over there!"

Standing on the treetop, Liang Yue gestured a couple of times before turning around and shifting his gaze to the other side.

If we consider the rift valley directly in front of us as the twelve o'clock direction, then the place Liang Yue is looking at now should be in the lower left, around seven or eight o'clock.

After observing for a long time, shielding his eyes with his hand, Liang Yue faintly noticed signs of swampy terrain at the end of his vision.

"The trees over there do seem a bit sparse. Looks like I'm probably right. But~ how did that witch come from so far away?"

"Am I really that attractive?"

Thinking this, Liang Yue couldn't help but twitch his lips, a hint of self-deprecation flashing across his face.

But then, he didn't waste any more time talking. He nimbly hugged the tree trunk and slid down the tree that had sheltered him all night.

Picking up the sugarcane from the ground, he continued to chew on it, while tightly gripping the hand crossbow in his other hand, and then slowly walked in the predetermined direction.

Compared to his rapid march through the forest yesterday, Liang Yue was now much more cautious.

He would stop to observe the situation almost every step of the way, especially in those dark corners where the sunlight couldn't reach. He seemed somewhat careful, even cautious.

However, it's no wonder that Liang Yue would act this way now. After all, this forest had just spawned hundreds of monsters last night. Although most of them were attracted by Liang Yue and eliminated under the big tree earlier.

But even now, there must still be a considerable number of stragglers remaining in the forest.

There might be zombies, creepers, skeleton archers, or even mutated species like baby zombies. Liang Yue couldn't afford to be careless.

After all, this is no joke~!

"Pa pa pa~"

"Ugh~"

"Pa pa pa~"

"Ugh ah~"

"Pa pa pa~"

"Crack~"

"Pa pa pa~"

"Puchi~"

......

The bow and crossbow in his hand might not be powerful or have a long range, but after a whole night of endless attrition warfare, he now had quite a bit of experience with it.

Those lone monsters had almost no power to resist in the face of the viper-like arrows, struggling in vain, and finally could only fall to the ground and turn into dust.

Even skeleton archers, these ranged units, after Liang Yue mastered the rhythm of the battle, also became lambs to the slaughter, turning into a cloud of ashes after firing a few arrows.

Time flew by quickly in this jungle battle.

When the sun was high in the sky and Liang Yue's stomach growled again, he finally arrived at his destination.

Pushing aside the dense branches in front of him, he was greeted by a new environment.

Compared to the forest behind him, the terrain in front of him seemed very open, with ponds of varying sizes scattered throughout.

Green water lilies floated quietly on the surface of the water, round like big pancakes, looking very leisurely.

In comparison, the trees here were still tall and straight, but they seemed a bit sparse. The air humidity was very high. As soon as he stepped into this new terrain, Liang Yue clearly felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to rise a lot invisibly.

"Pa ji~ Pa ji~ Pa ji..."

After walking forward for a while, Liang Yue heard a strange sound in his ears.

It sounded like some sticky substance was constantly churning in the mud, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet swampy land.

However, as soon as Liang Yue heard this sound, his eyes lit up.

A face that was originally slightly cautious suddenly flashed with a hint of excitement.

"I was right! There really is this thing in the swamp!"

Following the direction of the 'pa ji' sound, Liang Yue immediately tracked it, stepping deep and shallow.

Finally, after turning past a large tree, he found the source of the sound in a shallow pool in front.

He saw something green all over, semi-transparent, round, and soft, looking like an oval jelly pudding.

When Liang Yue locked onto this thing, it was constantly flapping up and down by the pool.

It's just that although this thing looks very elastic, its actual jumping ability is a bit tragic. It can't even jump out of this shallow pool.

Apart from being able to splash waves of water, it has almost no effect~

"It's you, Slime!"

Looking at this strange creature in front of him, Liang Yue couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth, a wicked smile mixed with excitement on his face.

He raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, aimed at this green thing, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Pa pa pa~"

Arrows flew one after another, easily piercing into the slime's body without much effort.

Then, with a 'puchi', this slime, which was originally more than half a meter high, instantly shattered, and then divided into four smaller slimes.

Then they continued to jump 'pa ji pa ji' in the pool, seeming to want to jump ashore to attack Liang Yue, but in the end, they couldn't even get ashore~

"Pa~" "Pa pa~" "Pa pa pa~" ......

Another burst of arrow fire, Liang Yue's fingers flew at this moment, and in just a few seconds, these four small slimes were once again eliminated without any resistance.

Then it turned into a cloud of smoke and completely disappeared before his eyes.

Looking around, confirming that there was no danger around, Liang Yue immediately moved his mind and summoned the task panel.

......

Side Quest 1

Zombie: 10 / 10

Spider: 10 / 10

Creeper: 10 / 10

Skeleton Archer: 10 / 10

Slime: 5 / 10

Baby Zombie: 3 / 10

Witch: 1 / 10

......

"Whoa, one is worth five of other monsters. Awesome~!"

Looking at the newly appearing line of data on the panel, Liang Yue immediately grinned, revealing a face full of excited smiles, his eyes filled with a different kind of brilliance.

Without a doubt, this kind of data judgment is definitely a great fortune for him!

Originally, Liang Yue only thought of the swamp terrain from the witch's spawning last night, and from the swamp terrain, he thought of another special type of monster in this area, the slime~

Obviously, whether in the game or in the real world built on MC, the slime has always been a small, useless monster at the bottom.

And holding a crossbow, as long as he keeps a certain distance away from it, the danger of this thing is not even as good as a zombie.

In order to be able to safely fill the number of the fifth type of monster in this side quest, Liang Yue naturally paid great attention to this clue.

Therefore, as soon as he thought of this species before, he almost unhesitatingly came to this area to explore.

Now it seems that all these adventures are worthwhile!
