You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

Along with anger came some regret.

If Varone had followed the previous rules and pushed over the tombstone, he wouldn't have died here.

But it's too late now...

Claudia, sitting on the high point, witnessed this scene and looked astonished.

These adventurers actually died again because of the already exposed mechanics and rules.

"These guys are so stupid, it's a miracle they've grown up."

She complained helplessly.

Ron, on the other hand, had an expression that suggested he had everything under control, and spat out the sunflower seed shells.

It can only be said that Claudia knows a little about dungeons, but she completely lacks understanding of human nature.

With one of her companions dead, Veronica finally stopped showing off her intelligence and, with the remaining three team members, easily passed through the paralyzing mushroom area by following the strategies she had seen in the previous anti-testing mechanism.

They quickly arrived in front of the three grass ball monsters.

Veronica became wary upon seeing the Grass Ball Monster's level.

If we encounter new monsters, then the strategies we learned from the anti-testing mechanism are no longer useful. How should we deal with these grass ball monsters?

At this moment, the priest, who was one of the team members, suddenly burst into excited laughter.

"It seems that this dungeon adventurer has exhausted his luck since the anti-testing mechanism was implemented, and the grass ball monster he recruited has mutated."

He was unaware that the grass ball monster had already mutated when Ron recruited it, mistakenly believing that it mutated after Ron recruited it and placed it in the dungeon.

After all, which dungeon designer would use mutated monsters in a dungeon?

Unless the dungeon designer's goal was to lose money.

Mutant Grass Ball Monster?

Veronica has been working as Amata's assistant since level 20 and rarely enters the dungeon, so she doesn't know much about the mutated monsters.

She looked at the pastor.

The pastor then explained, "Veronica, do you see the color of these grass ball monsters? Normal grass ball monsters are a dull yellow, but once they mutate, they turn into this bright green color."

Veronica frowned.

"So, is the Grass Ball Monster easier to deal with after it mutates?"

The pastor looked disdainful.

"They're not just easy to deal with, they're practically giving away experience points."

"Once a monster mutates, its original skills will be replaced, and the replaced skills are all useless and do no damage. So now it only has physical attack capabilities, which makes it easy for us to deal with."

Is that right?

Given the previous situation, Veronica still dared not easily believe what the priest said.

"It's better for everyone to be careful and not rush in."

However, the priest and the other two scoffed at Veronica's warning.

“Miss Veronica, you were appointed captain before because you were Guild Master Amata’s assistant, and we gave you face. But you killed Varone before, which means you have very little experience in dungeons.”

"Therefore, you should now respect the opinions of us experienced adventurers and act according to our advice."

The pastor was slightly displeased.

He had clearly stated that it was a mutated grass ball monster, but Veronica was now seeing things from afar and even said not to rush in.

It must be too tiring for someone like that to be a team leader.

The other two also stated that there was no need to worry about the mutated monster, as it posed no threat whatsoever.

Veronica was somewhat helpless, not expecting that her carefully organized team would now be in turmoil.

Ultimately, it was my own misjudgment with Varone that caused a significant drop in my credibility as captain.

But since Varone has already been ruined, it's better to be cautious now; we can't afford to lose any more men.

The problem is that these people don't seem very willing to listen to me.

Seeing this, Veronica had no choice but to settle for second best.

"How about this, one of you go up and test these grass ball monsters to see if they are as you say."

The pastor finally calmed down a bit after this suggestion was made.

"Alright then, I'll testify for Miss Veronica."

After saying that, he was about to go up.

"Wait, let the mage go up instead."

If something happens to the priest, the difficulty of the subsequent exploration will increase significantly.

Upon hearing this, the priest could only look at the dwarf magician.

"Alright, go ahead."

The dwarf magician then stepped forward and walked towards the three grass ball monsters.

At that moment, one of the grass ball monsters spotted the dwarf magician and immediately rolled towards him.

Upon seeing this, the dwarf mage immediately launched an attack with ice arrows.

One of the characteristics of the LV17 Grass Ball Monster is its high HP, so it cannot be killed in a short time.

After taking a few hits from the ice arrows, it rolled right up to the dwarf mage and crashed into him.

The little wizard just grimaced, lost a little blood, and wasn't knocked down.

Suddenly, the dwarf magician said something.

"What is this?"

The grass ball monster continued to ram into the dwarf mage, who kept losing a drop of health while repeatedly muttering "What is this?", and continued to attack the high-health grass ball monster with ice arrows.

It's really quite ridiculous.

The people standing behind, watching this scene, couldn't help but chuckle.

“Miss Veronica, do you see this? This is what the mutated grass ball monster looks like. It only loses one drop of blood with each impact, and it also produces some strange effects, such as the little dwarf magician constantly repeating this thing.”

"I told you long ago, this guy is useless except for having high HP after the mutation."

The pastor looked smug.

Veronica watched for a while, then gave a wry smile.

Mutant monsters are hilarious.

"Alright, let's attack together and kill the grass ball monster as soon as possible."

Chapter 98 The Secret of Mutation

"Those adventurers ganged up on your grass ball monster."

Claudia watched as the four adventurers attacked the mutated grass ball monster and offered a warning.

"Well, I see it."

Ron stopped eating his snacks and focused intently on the grass ball monster that was being attacked and which was not equipped with any special attributes.

After recruiting these mutated monsters into the dungeon, it was discovered that these monsters had some hidden secrets.

It simply cannot be observed.

Ron thought that the only opportunity to observe the subtle, hidden effects of the mutation would be during combat.

Now that the Grassball Monster is under attack, it's a good time to take a look.

After watching for a while, the grass ball monster didn't seem to have anything special about it, except for being passively attacked.

"Then how can we observe the unique features of the other party? Isn't it when the mutated monster is attacked that its unique features will be exposed?"

At this moment, the grass ball monster finally fell down with the combined efforts of the four adventurers.

“Miss Veronica, do you see? These mutated grass ball monsters aren’t scary at all, they just have a lot of health. It took us four people working together for so long to kill them.”

The pastor deliberately puffed out his chest, clearly showing off.

Veronica stared at the fallen grass ball monster, speechless for a long time.

Judging from the current situation, I am indeed not very suitable to be the team leader, as I still know too little about the dungeon.

The dwarf magician, on the other hand, looked resentful.

"This time, whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going. It's tiring to keep shouting like this."

Faced with this situation, the priest looked at the elven hunter.

"It's your turn this time."

Upon hearing this, the elf hunter immediately picked up his bow and arrow and shot at a grass ball monster in the distance.

The attacked grass ball monster rolled towards the elf hunter.

The elf hunter tried to dodge, but the grass ball monster seemed to be drawn to him by a magnet, relentlessly pursuing him.

After running for half a day and being exhausted, the elven hunter, seeing that he could not shake off his opponent, had no choice but to stop and let the opponent ram him.

He would utter a strange "What is this?" after each impact, and then shoot arrows at the grass ball monster.

Ron, sitting in a spot with a good view, observed the situation with a frown.

"Could it be scrolling tracking?"

Based on what we just observed, once this grass ball monster locks onto a target, it will relentlessly pursue it no matter how fast or how complicated the target's path is. Moreover, the faster the target moves, the faster the grass ball monster will move.

Therefore, the hidden characteristic of the mutated Grass Ball Monster is its endless rolling tracking.

"Claudia, do you know anything about the Grass Ball Monster?"

Claudia smiled and took out a small booklet, about the size of a palm, from her pocket.

"Understanding monsters isn't difficult; here, take this."
