Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 29 Lantern Fish Hat
Underwater breathing potion is a practical functional potion that players need to use when they are in water.

After drinking it, you can breathe freely in the water for 10 minutes, and it can offset some of the water resistance, allowing players to move more freely in the water.

The NPCs in the camp will kindly remind players who come to Babu Lake for the first time to accept quests.

Underwater breathing potions are sold at the merchant in the camp.

Su Ming walked to the merchant. This merchant not only sold potions, but also food and decorative equipment. He could also help players repair equipment. He had many functions and many players surrounded him.

If you just want to buy potions, you don't need to be very close, you can choose the transaction from three or four meters away and select the potion from the system panel.

A bottle of underwater breathing potion costs 1 silver coin. Su Ming first spent 10 gold coins to buy a full slot (100 bottles), which is enough for a day. He should be able to get the "Guardian" skill book.

When we arrived at the shore of Babu Lake, there were players calling out to form a team, players setting up stalls, and even players fishing.

But there are more players like Su Ming who come here to fight monsters, and they will jump into the water with a splash.

In the clear lake water, you can see monsters and players. With the help of underwater breathing potions, players can easily stand upright in the water, with little difference from being on the ground.

Su Ming called out Xiao Hei and asked:
"Xiao Hei, do you need a potion of underwater breathing? We are going to spawn monsters in the water."

"No need, slimes can survive in all kinds of places." Xiao Hei suddenly boasted: "It is said that the most powerful slime can make friends with dragons."

"Maybe Xiao Hei, you can also become a slime like that." Su Ming rubbed Xiao Hei. Although Xiao Hei became stronger, his size did not change much, and the feel was as good as before.

Su Ming chatted with Xiao Hei, drank the potion, jumped into the lake, and Xiao Hei followed closely behind.

Gululu~
Fine bubbles appeared on Su Ming's clothes, and the sounds around him became dull and slow.

System: You have entered Babu Lake, movement speed -10%.

Su Ming opened his eyes and looked at the slightly distorted world in the water.

Xiao Hei seemed to be swimming more freely in the water. It had no slowing buff and was circling around Su Ming, chasing the small fish that were not considered monsters.

These small fish are colorful and are ornamental creatures.

Su Ming adjusted to the buoyancy of the lake water for a while, found a bubble porpoise that no one was attacking, and ordered Xiao Hei to attack it.

The bubble porpoise is round and plump, and except for the tail, its body is covered with short and thick spines, like a hedgehog in the water. It does not look like an edible creature at all.

Xiao Hei and the bubble porpoise collided with each other and started fighting.

Xiao Hei now has more than 4000 health points, which is more than half of the Bubble Porcupine. It doesn't need to dodge at all. It can directly hit the Bubble Porcupine's normal attacks to death.

The dead porpoise dropped the mission materials. Su Ming swam over and took the materials away. At the same time, he said to Xiao Hei:

"Xiao Hei, go find a free porcupine first. I'll go get some more porcupines."

"Ok."

Xiao Hei is very intelligent and can fight monsters automatically.

In fact, many pets can fight monsters automatically. However, if the trainer lets the pet fight alone for a long time, the pet's loyalty will decrease, so it is not possible to leave it alone.

In the lake, the distribution of monsters is generally uniform, but in a small area, there is also a mixed situation. The bubble porpoise only explodes the "guardian" skill of the tamer, and there are relatively few tamer players, so the stock of monsters is also large.

However, even if there are many players, it is unlikely that there will be no monsters to fight. Because in "Fate", the number of monsters in an area will be dynamically refreshed according to the number of players. Of course, if there are few players, it will still be more enjoyable.

Su Ming easily attracted four bubble porcupines. The bubble porcupines were faster than him. Sometimes he failed to grasp the distance well and would be bitten twice, causing one or two hundred points of damage to Su Ming, but it was not a big threat.

Lead them to the vicinity of Xiao Hei, who will burst out a mucus, and reduce 1/3 of the health of the surrounding thorny porcupines. Su Ming will make up for the damage in the surrounding areas. He can harvest 2 to 3 pieces of tail meat by killing five each time.

At this rate, Su Ming will soon be able to collect all 100 pieces of tail meat and complete the task.

"Greedy Guard" is a common progressive cycle task. The first time you need 100 pieces of tail meat, the second time you need 200 pieces... each time it increases by 100 pieces, and you can do ten rounds a day.

As long as you have the mission, you can keep killing Bubble Porpoises to get their tail meat, so you don't have to go ashore and into the water frequently, and you can keep doing it until you don't want to do it anymore.

Some players take on quests not necessarily to complete them, but just to get the quest materials to sell.

As time passed, while Su Ming was killing monsters, he would also look at other trainers' pets. There were all kinds of pets. Some pets that couldn't go into the water could also move in the water after drinking underwater breathing potions.

When others saw how fierce Su Ming's slime was, they asked where he caught it. Su Ming said that it was a mutated slime he found in the wild. As for their requests to see the panel, Su Ming rejected them.

A few players were itching to get started, so after a while they went ashore to look for slimes. Just like Xiao Hei said, slimes were everywhere... However, the slimes outside the Novice Village were more timid, and would not wander around in the woods like the ones in the Novice Village.

The requirement for task items in a cyclic task is very high. Su Ming has been doing it until the evening, and the "tail meat" on his body can only be completed by the seventh round at most. There is no loss if this kind of cyclic task is not completed, so it is not a big problem.

The drop rate of the skill book is very low. Su Ming has farmed at least 5000 bubble porcupines, but still hasn't gotten any.

Just when Su Ming wanted to continue fighting, he suddenly found that he could not light the torch underwater.

This makes sense.

"It seems we can only come back tomorrow. Xiao Hei, let's go."

Su Ming swam to the shore and surfaced. All the players on the shore had retreated, so there were not many people there. However, the camp in the distance was noisy and the fire was burning brightly.

Suddenly, a light appeared in the woods.

"Elite monster?" Su Ming drew out his weapon and approached the light source.

The light was radiating in all directions. Su Ming looked carefully and found that the light source came from a player. The player had an ancient book hanging around his waist. It was the professional token of the summoner. The creatures summoned by the summoner all signed a contract with this book.

The summoner wears a luminous hat. The hat is shaped like a fish's mouth, biting the wearer's forehead, with a light extending from the top to the back of the head.

He reached the shore, drank a potion of breathing, and prepared to jump into the lake.

Su Ming called him.

"Please wait a moment."

"Is something wrong?"

"Excuse me, where did you get this hat on your head? How much did it cost?"

If it is cheap, Su Ming would like to buy one. This hat can not only be used in water, but can also replace a torch in daily life.

"Oh, you mean this?" The summoner moved the light on his hat, and the light flickered. "10 gold coins each, but you need to have 100 points of contribution to the camp at Babu Lake to buy it."

"Oh, thank you."

Seeing that Su Ming was fine, the summoner jumped into the water, and Su Ming also walked towards the camp.
