The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Typically, when older single women get together, they're more likely to be thinking about where to go, what's going on with whom, and gossiping.

But it's different when these older single men gather together.

Typically, when several older single men get together, a "brainstorming king" will be randomly generated.

Clearly, the player with the ID "Amateur Welder" is the one who randomly generated the "Idea King".

"So what have you guys been working on?" The aggressive Salty Fish went straight to the point.

"It's nothing, isn't it? A few of us have some professional knowledge, right? At that time, we were thinking, why don't we make some small toys?"

"And then? What little toys did you guys make?" the aggressive salty fish continued to ask.

"A self-propelled howitzer," the amateur welder replied.

Holy crap...

The attacking salted fish was greatly shocked.

"But don't overthink it, we only made a 1:1 replica of the model, it can't fire any shells."

Upon hearing this, the attacking salted fish gave them a speechless look.

You guys can't fire shells? I can't even be bothered to call you out on it!

You don't have any shells, but if you did, one of you would go in and fail to fire, and I'd twist my head off and let you kick it around like a ball.

If you guys keep tinkering with these little toys, you might end up opening an arms factory.

But then, the attacking salted fish's eyes lit up.

"What a talent!"

"Brothers, let me tell you, you've got this game perfectly suited to your major."

"This game is exactly like reality. You can make grenade launchers by hand in real life, and you can do the same in this game."

"Putting everything else aside, with your skills, this would be real torture in real life, but it would actually work in this game."

"You guys can make a lot of these things and sell them to other players. I guarantee you'll make a good profit."

After hearing what Salty Fish said, the amateur welders also began to consider the feasibility of this matter.

"Welder, I feel like I can do this job."

"Yes, and the in-game currency is quite valuable, so we can earn some pocket money."

The salted fish that was attacking from the side nodded repeatedly.

"Take my advice, what we lack right now is weapons."

"The monsters in this game are too strong. You really can't fight them without some decent weapons."

"If a few of you teamed up to set up an arms factory, let me tell you, you'd be booked full of orders."

An amateur welder felt that this might actually be a viable option.

"Let's finish this task first, then we'll go back and discuss it further."

Upon hearing this, the salted fish nodded.

And so the group continued on their way to their destination.

Along the way, the charging saltwater fish led them through forests filled with all sorts of strange plants.

I've seen those strange little monsters floating in the air.

Along the way, the amateur welders were also amazed by the bizarre animals and plants in the game.

As we continued on our journey, the scenery in the distance suddenly took a dramatic turn.

This is a purple river, and on this side of the river grows all sorts of strange plants. Some unknown monsters roam through the forest, creating a vibrant scene.

But on the other side of the river, it seemed to be a death zone.

The gray-black sand stretched into the distance, and the only thing that could be seen were some black trees that looked like they had long since died.

The protruding boulder was also covered with a layer of unknown black powder.

Occasionally, one or two moving skeletons can be seen in the distance.

"This is the territory of the Skeleton Clan!"

With that, the charging salted fish led the group across the river and headed into the river.

As they ventured deeper into the territory, Salty Fish explained.

"Most skeletons have no intelligence."

"At the same time, they aren't particularly interested in our race, but it's best not to be discovered."

"Because some skeletons will mistake us for intruders and carry us away."

"However, these skeletons usually have their own fixed territories. These skeletons that wander around are the kind that have just been born and are still unaware of their surroundings."

"As long as you don't cause too much of a commotion, most of the time you'll be fine."

And so, the group continued to venture deeper into the center.

Not long after...

The advancing salted fish led several people to the core area of ​​the Skeleton Clan's territory.

This place is very different from other places.

The ground beneath my feet was soft, sticky black mud, emitting a strange odor that was a mixture of heavy humus and a faint, almost imperceptible, stench of decay.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a jungle built of death and decay.

The twisted branches are either ashen white or charred black, and many trees show faint signs of bark being peeled off.

The ground was covered with dark purple leaves that looked like they were soaked in blood. Stepping on them made a dull, sinking sound, and then a thick, black sap seeped out.

"We've arrived. The Fountain of Rebirth is just ahead."

"This is also where we peel bark from trees."

"But be careful, these trees will attack you when you're peeling their bark, but they won't attack you normally."

The truth is that they do attack regularly, but because the players come so frequently, and every time these trees dare to attack, the players will only strip them even more fiercely.

Over time, the trees realized that if they didn't attack, the swarm of patters would only take a little and leave, but if they dared to attack, the whole area would be stripped bare.

Thus, a subtle relationship was formed between the two.

Led by the salted fish, the group quickly arrived at the location of the Spring of Rebirth. They had initially thought it was a place similar to a well.

In reality, this place is a huge lake that emits a foul stench.

You can vaguely see the newborn skeletons crawling out from inside.

Once there, the salted fish skillfully found a large tree nearby and began to peel its skin.

"Since we're already here, let's take some of the Fountain of Rebirth with us."

As he spoke, Salty Fish called over a few people to come and collect the fish together.

After making a simple container, Xianyu led the group to the Spring of Reincarnation. They first threw the necklace Jiang Chen had given them into the spring, then filled it with more spring water before leaving.

However, the group that left at that moment did not notice that deep within the Spring of Rebirth, a skeleton engulfed in green flames was watching them.

After the salted fish and the others left, the skeleton crawled out of the Spring of Rebirth and followed them closely at a distance.

As they followed Salty Fish and the others to a place not far from Jiang Chen's territory, the skeleton tilted its head and watched them enter the cave, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, the skeleton turned and left.
