Chapter 33: Ruins Monster
Pharmacist, just from the name, it seems to be a profession that saves lives and heals the wounded.

But on the contrary, this profession, especially when their strength is relatively low, can be said to have all five poisons.

Healing potions and magic potions are not something that can be used indiscriminately. Using too much of them will either lead to cell failure or magic addiction.

Things like inferior demon potions, poison potions, corpse potions, black blood potions, vomiting potions, blood-dissolving potions, sleeping potions, laxatives, aphrodisiacs, etc. are the specialties of many pharmacists.

As for the potion master, not to mention that the potion master is roughly equivalent to the necromancer, all kinds of cursed potions are common in their crucibles.

Well, it’s not that they can’t make buff potions, but in most cases, their skills in making poisons are always better than those in making buff potions.

Even when it comes to the alchemist level, the situation seems to have not improved much.

Although Mu Hua didn't know much about alchemists, he heard that they also liked to make some more dangerous magic stones.

Yes, that's right. Alchemists are no longer busy with potions. They mainly deal with stones, and can produce very expensive stones. . .

Between the broken rocks and low hills, because there were too many trees and grass in the area where the goblins had concentrated earlier, Mu Hua's high concentration made it a little difficult for him to cope. At this time, Mu Hua's hunting direction shifted to the area marked as the Orc Basin.

It can't be called exploration, because he was alone, and Mu Hua's activities in the courtyard were mainly hunting monsters in some open areas.

For now, his requirements are not high, and his goal is to create the 'Fishing Abyss'.

After all, the monsters in the abyss that couldn't cast spells were more attractive to him, and in the courtyard, even if he encountered low-level monsters like imps and gnolls, Mu Hua didn't have the confidence to confront them head-on.

Lurking behind the bunker, there is a monster camp about 300 meters ahead.

The reason why it is called a camp rather than a nest is that these monsters simply use a ruined area with dilapidated walls as their settlement, and there are no signs of construction at all.

There are ten gnolls. They are different from the werewolves of the demon species. They are about 1.5 meters tall, with hunched bodies, dog heads and human bodies, and long yellow hair.

Jackals are level 2 monsters, with similar strength and speed to level 1 goblins, but their weapons are cylindrical long-range shooting weapons that can barely be considered firearms.

The four pig-headed men were also level 2 monsters. They were about 100cm in waist and 2.5cm in height on average, with the stronger ones growing to around 3.5cm in height. They had human bodies and animal hooves, and just like their names, they had pig-like heads on their short and thick necks.

Although they have lower potential among the beastmen, these pig-headed men are full of brute strength. If they simply fight with strength, the big goblin that Mu Hua encountered earlier could be pinned down and beaten by them.

However, their movements are rather clumsy. If a big goblin is given a decent sword, in a fight of equal numbers, the pig-headed man will definitely be the one to die.

There are several slimes wandering around like scavengers. This thing is like a lump of non-Newtonian fluid, naturally immune to low-level physical attacks. It is quite troublesome, but it poses almost no threat to defensive humans.

Mu Hua can deal with these three types of monsters head-on. With the cooperation of the skeleton warriors, it will not be difficult to eliminate them if he snips the pig-headed men from a distance first.

However, there are three imps and two lizard-skinned monsters among this group of monsters, which is more troublesome.

They are demons, and even if they are small fry among the lower-level demons, their intelligence and growth potential are far beyond that of ordinary low-level demons. If they live long enough, the lower-level demons may even feed on some mid-level demons.

Although the imps are smaller than ordinary goblins, they not only have dagger-like claws, but are also born with the inheritance of fireball magic.

Due to the limitation of magic power, not all imps can cast fireball, but they can basically master fire imprint magic.

As they grow, it can be said that the little imps who have spent their entire lives familiarizing themselves with the magic of fireball will not be too bad in their attainments in fireball magic.

Corresponding to the imp with elemental spellcasting ability, the lizard monster's fighting style tends to be close combat. In addition to its thick skin and flesh, as a second-level monster, it can naturally give itself the benefit of "low-level acceleration".

Lizard-skinned monsters are accustomed to using one-handed swords and attacking in the same way as dead swordsmen. It is very troublesome to be approached by them.

Among the group of monsters in front of him, there are fewer imps and lizard-skinned monsters, and their bodies look very weak.

But the gnolls and pig-headed people in the ruins are controlled by both.

Observing from a distance, the group of monsters in the ruins seemed to be sharing a few dwarf orcs. The imps and lizards tore off pieces of meat and occasionally threw them to the gnolls as rewards, just like feeding dogs. The imps and lizards preferred to eat the internal organs, while the remaining bones and meat were chewed and swallowed by the pig-headed people.

A terrible scene like a wild beast eating.

He asked Raven to check the surrounding situation again, and saw that Mu Hua waved his hand and several skeleton warriors threw out the two black dogs that they had suppressed.

As soon as the restraints were removed, the two scarred black dogs fled towards the ruins, barking.

"Gouzi, go from the side." As Mu Hua said this, Zhou Yi trotted and lurked towards the ruins.

Mu Hua left a skeleton warrior to guard him, while the other five skeleton warriors swung their crocodile-like tails to chase the fleeing black dogs, restricting their escape direction and ensuring that they reached the ruins where the monsters gathered.

The expressions of the two black dogs were much more ferocious than normal, and their speed was slower than that of ordinary black dogs.

The external injuries on their bodies were secondary. The main problem was that Mu Hua had injected them with painkillers and inferior demon potions.

What is Mu Hua going to do?
Poison them. The inferior magic potion has a certain effect of disrupting the flow of magic power, and can also cause some low-level monsters to feel body cramps and discomfort.

Mu Hua's firepower is still too weak. In order to avoid accidents, he needs to reduce the opponent's combat power as much as possible. At the very least, he must ensure that the little ghost cannot cast spells.

"Ah~" The sudden appearance of the black evil dog and the skeleton undead were the first to cause the pig-headed man to scream strangely.

The monsters on the ruins were in chaos. The slime, which had almost no intelligence, was still twisting its body aimlessly, while the gnolls, imps, and lizards picked up their weapons, stood up and looked at the five skeleton warriors.

Low-level beastmen are generally stupid, but demons have higher IQs.

The imp and the lizard-skinned monster looked around until the two black dogs and the skeleton warriors approached within a hundred meters of them. They seemed to confirm that the black dogs had just been chased by several skeleton warriors and accidentally escaped here.

A strange cry of "Quack~Quack~" came from the little ghost's mouth.

The little ghost had dark red skin, pointed ears and fangs, and its body shape was like a 'handsome' version of a goblin. The little ghost had no weapons in his hands. Mu Hua discovered that the screaming little ghost was trying to persuade the black dog to surrender.

The general meaning is that it is willing to rescue the black vicious dog, and the black vicious dog will listen to it in the future.

These low-level monsters are generally insane, but they are different from lunatics and fools.

Seeing the little ghost spread his arms to express goodwill, trying to recapture the two black dogs that were being chased, but the two black dogs had already been tortured to death by Mu Hua.

The painkillers and a large amount of inferior demon potions brought indescribable discomfort to the body, and the two black dogs' minds were full of avoiding the skeletons that were chasing them.

"Bang~" A red magic circle unfolded in front of a little ghost, a spark emerged from the magic circle, magic power gathered, and in a blink of an eye, a fireball shot out with a gas explosion sound.

At a distance of dozens of meters, the fireball spell, which is not known for its speed in elemental magic, still hit a skeleton warrior with a tail of fire. The speed of the fireball was only faster than that of a rocket launcher.

"Bang~" Sparks flew everywhere. The fireball did not have explosive properties, but the impact force still caused the skeleton warrior's bones to fly everywhere where he was attacked.

"Bear!" The scorching flames spread all over the skeleton warrior's body, and in a blink of an eye the skeleton warrior turned into a flaming skeleton.

Burning, a fireball magic that does not have the characteristics of explosion but has the characteristics of ignition.

Without sufficient magic resistance, it is impossible to eliminate the erosion of the fire element. No matter flesh, bones or steel, everything will burn if it touches them.

"Crash~!" It took three seconds to cast the spell and one or two seconds to attack. In less than five seconds, the skeleton warrior fifty meters away from the little ghost turned into broken bones in an instant. Under normal circumstances, he could be said to be deader than dead.

A direct attack elemental magic that seems extremely inconspicuous among low-level magic. The deterrent power of magic has never come from the romance of casting, but from their extremely lethal attack effects.

　Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in the new year and everything goes well.
