Lord Survival: My Shelter in Crocodile Territory

Chapter 22 Cleaning up the mud monster

After getting the new equipment, Wang Shuo felt that he could beat ten.

It was time to explore the territory again. Wang Shuo was always worried about the unknown dangers in the swamp, so he quickly checked the [Task].

There was no new task prompt. After the elite crocodile was killed, it seemed that he had a period of rest.

He checked the [Diary] again.

The boring prophecy that had been refreshing the channel for several days had disappeared.

Instead, it was: "System Task: Sacrifice a soul to the 'Diary' to get a prompt."

"Haha, I laughed to death."

Wang Shuo suddenly laughed out loud.

He just checked the task bar and there was no new task. He now concluded that there must be something strange about this [Diary]. Although he didn't know what the situation was, he didn't believe it.

He no longer paid attention to the [Diary] and went to the north of the swamp.

In the past few days, he only explored the edge of the swamp. This time he decided to go deeper.

Seeing a large area of water in front of him, these were all ponds formed after he collected flax and clay.

The area is already more than 200 square meters.

Now in the pond, you can see a lot of fish swimming around at the bottom of the water.

The water birds in the east also flew here to hunt.

He chose a place with mud on the edge of the pond and laid a bamboo raft along the way.

He walked towards the depths of the swamp for about 200 meters.

He found that bubbles kept coming out of the swamp.

Seeing this strange scene, he released a "mud-smoothing".

The system prompt sounded:

"You caused 10 points of damage to the mud monster (no level, equivalent to ordinary beasts)."

"Ah, sigh", there are still monsters, which made Wang Shuo a little cautious.

He kept using skills, and after ten or so times, the system prompted him:

[You killed the mud monster, ID: mud 53279, energy crystal +1]

Wang Shuo was not calm.

This mud monster is too weak!

It's too easy for Wang Shuo to kill it.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the mud monster.

First of all, they can only live in the mud. It is difficult to survive without the mud, unless they reach a very high level and can create mud everywhere.

And they themselves have a low risk factor and only attack small animals in the mud.

Secondly, the damage caused by swords is very low to them, and they have almost natural defense.

If it weren't for Wang Shuo's skill restraint, they would still be very difficult to die.

And Wang Shuo got an important information. Killing ordinary monsters can also get energy crystals, but there are no soul crystals.

It seems that as long as there is a system ID, there should be energy crystals. Are all monsters composed of energy crystals?

And only monsters with wisdom can have soul crystals?

Wang Shuo couldn't help but guess.

I should have a soul myself!

If I die, can my soul also be captured by others? As soon as this idea came into being, Wang Shuo was a little creepy.

Don't die, otherwise, the soul will not be at peace.

In fact, energy crystals are possessed by all creatures, but even creatures with soul crystals will not necessarily explode soul crystals after death.

In this world where it's either you or me, sympathy is ridiculous.

He was no longer merciful, and he just "smoothed things over" with the nearby mud monsters.

[Energy Crystal +1]

...

[You have obtained the "Summon Mud Monster" skill book. ]

"Damn, a rubbish skill book."

"The mud monster is so weak, it's useless to summon it."

Wang Shuo couldn't help but complain.

[The system detects that the player has the "Summon Mud Monster" skill book, do you want to learn it? ]

But after thinking about it, he still clicked "Learn".

It's better than nothing!

[Summon Mud Monster: Consume 10 points of mental power, summon a mud monster from a mud pit or swamp to fight for you, lasting 30 minutes, skill CD, 1 minute. After summoning 100, it can be upgraded. ]

That's about right. At the same time, Wang Shuo was surprised to find that his "smoothed things over" skill had been upgraded to level 2 without him noticing.

[Smooth the mud: Level 2, consumes 1 point of mental power, used on a 2 cubic meter mud pit or muddy land, separates the mud and water, and obtains clay and water, no skill CD. ]

The range is larger.

"Summon the mud monster." Wang Shuo roared, with full momentum.

On the surface of the swamp in front of him, a black "sea urchin" the size of a baby's head appeared, so cute!

"Oh my god, I expect you to fight for me, am I crazy?"

Looking at the harmless little cutie in front of him, Wang Shuo sighed and said, "You are only worthy of being a mascot!"

He ordered the mud monster to come closer.

The soft and cute little cutie rolled over and touched it. It felt very soft. The spikes on the outside looked intimidating, but they were all fake.

And Wang Shuo's hands were black, feeling like ink that could not be washed off, and there was a smell of mud.

Almost made Wang Shuo vomit!

Wang Shuo had originally planned to adopt a godson, but he immediately gave up the idea and kicked it far away.

In this swamp, there were countless mud monsters. Because he kept summoning mud monsters and wanted to upgrade earlier, his mental power was consumed quickly.

Moreover, he also figured out that the way the sludge monster attacks is to spray a ball of corrosive sludge at the enemy, which is equivalent to using part of his body to hurt others.

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own!

This is simply self-mutilation.

In the sludge land, the sludge can be replenished in time. If it is on land, it is estimated that it will spray itself out after a few mouthfuls.

So far, he has only seen two sludge monsters that have fought back against him, but he has crocodile leather armor and has not suffered any damage, but it is a bit smelly.

[Because you slaughtered a large number of sludge monsters, the sludge monster leader has become hostile to you. ]

"What's the situation? I killed his little brother and the boss is angry?"

It was about an hour before dusk, and his mental strength was running low, so he planned to return to the shelter.

There were 2,500 units of clay in the backpack.

As soon as he got home, he heard the system prompt:

[The residential upgrade is complete. 】

[Residential buildings: Durability 2000/2000, standard for a well-off life, unlock the warehouse, toilet, front yard and backyard, tool bench and forging table can be upgraded. 】

Seeing the five rooms in front of him, Wang Shuo couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of pride.

In his mind, he imagined what he would say to his future son: "Look, this is the foundation that Dad has earned for you."

The towering roof, the flying eaves, and the four corners have a ridge beast.

Wang Shuo couldn't wait to go in and take a look.

Pushing open the heavy double wooden door, there is a hall in front of him, and a picture of a tiger descending the mountain is hung in front of it. The majestic tiger seems to walk out of the painting and choose someone to eat.

In the middle is a square flat table, with two armchairs on both sides.

"Well, now I don't have to cross my legs to eat!" Wang Shuo looked at the square table in the middle and couldn't help but admire.

The room on the left is Wang Shuo's bedroom, which is much larger than before, and the earthen kang looks more magnificent.

To the left of the bedroom is the kitchen, which is also nearly 20 square meters.

Wang Shuo walked to the right side of the hall again. The first room is the warehouse. There are wall cabinets on three walls, but they cannot be opened.

[Warehouse can be upgraded. Do you want to upgrade? ]

[Warehouse upgrade: wood 304/200, stone 345/10]

"Yes."

[Wood -200, stone -10]

Three wall cabinets show that they are under construction.

He came to the last room - the workshop.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the system prompted again that the tool bench and forging table can be upgraded.

[Upgrade tool bench: wood 104/50, stone 335/10]

[Upgrade forging table: stone 335/100, iron ore 800/100]

[Upgrade? 】

"Yes."

[Wood -50, Stone -110, Iron Ore -100]
