"Since the advanced monsters are afraid of the worm powder then why don't we carry some with us? Wouldn't we be able to avoid encountering advanced monsters?" Eugene asked curiously.
"I'll tell you after we leave this place." Ian said in a dignified tone: "Everyone get ready to move at full speed into the wasteland." Then he winked at Martin and the two of them took the lead. They quickly crossed the border and entered the wasteland, moving forward in a straight line.
Dean's eyes lit up as he followed them.
He noticed that in the vicinity of the divine worm powder, there were quite a few red heat spots, especially in the soil, in the wreckage of the ruins, and in the dense grasses.
"Luna, Dean, report immediately if there is any situation." Ian said in a low voice.
Luna and Dean nodded and followed behind them. They were in the middle of the team. Ruby, Rosemary and Eugene were at the back of the team to protect Dean and Luna. In the wilderness, the team would focus on protecting the teammates who had good perception.
"There are monsters at two and a half o 'clock."
"There are monsters at ten o 'clock."
On the way, Dean constantly reported the location of the monsters he would encounter along the way. As for the monsters that were farther away, there was no need to report them.
In the blink of an eye, they had been in the wasteland for seven or eight minutes. Although they would occasionally encounter monsters they would choose to take a detour but they were still more than thirty kilometers away from the border.
Ian and Martin led the team to reduce their speed. Their physical consumption was relatively large so they needed to recover in time to maintain the best state.
After slowing down, Ian took the time to answer Eugene's question, "Although the Divine Worm Powder can repel high-level monsters, it is a fatal temptation to ordinary monsters. Usually, a large number of ordinary monsters gather near the border. Of course, the ordinary monsters aren't the level 7 or 8 monsters that inhabit the green wasteland but the ordinary monsters in our area. "
Eugene was startled for a moment before he understood. He rolled his eyes and said, "If that's the case, can't we use the divine worm powder as bait to make a trap to catch all these demonic creatures in one fell swoop? This way, the speed at which we clear out the monsters should be many times faster. "
Ian nodded and said: "The idea is good. Some people have thought about it but it is very difficult to make a trap that can kill monsters above level 30. The materials needed are too many. The risk of transporting these materials from the giant wall is too great. Little Du should be clear about this. You are a hunter so you should have learned how to make traps, right?"
Dean replied: "Yes, if it's just to make traps to kill level 10 monsters, then using the resources in the wilderness, I can barely do it."
The so-called trap was nothing more than using the destructive power of the surrounding environment to deal with the enemy. In this wilderness, if you want to make a trap, you can only dig a pit or throw a boulder. But such a trap will have a great impact on monsters above level 30. This is also the reason why the hunter profession is not popular among senior hunters. At the limitless level the role of the hunter profession is reduced because of the environment and the monsters they encounter. They can only cooperate with teammates and sneak arrows from the back. They can't fight alone and they don't have the ability to be the core of the team.
Glenn was an archer at the beginning but she successfully transformed into an assassin when she reached senior hunter level.
Combined with her Black Weaver magic mark ability, she could ambush and assassinate. In the wilderness, she could often lead a team to survive. She could hunt monsters that were much stronger than her own physique.
But Dean was still a traditional hunter. He used bow and arrow to fight. He was at a disadvantage in terms of weapons. The higher the physique of an archer was, the higher the requirements for the bow. After all, it wasn't about the accuracy but the penetrating power of the arrow!
Accuracy was the basic requirement for a limitless hunter.
As for the penetrating power, it all depended on the bow.
However, this was only the value of the traditional hunter in this world. Dean had already taken these factors into account when he chose the bow and arrow. For him, there were many ways to trap and kill level 30 monsters or even higher. However, these methods were not suitable to be used in front of Ian and the others as it was easy to expose his details.
"Moreover." Ian continued: "The worm powder has always been managed by the top management. Even deacon level characters can't touch the worm powder. Let alone ordinary dragon guards like us."
Eugene was speechless: "Since this thing is so precious, how much did they directly sprinkle it at the border? Isn't it too wasteful?"
Ian shrugged: "Do you think that it is a waste to use resources to cast the giant wall?"
Hearing that, Eugene immediately understood. The boundary formed by the divine insect powder was like an invisible wall that blocked all high-level magical beasts. Therefore, no matter how much divine insect powder was spent, it wouldn't hurt. However, if it was given to people like them, it would be too extravagant.
"Captain, why don't we go back and secretly get some worm powder?" Eugene's eyes turned: "As long as we seal it up then the smell won't leak. In case we encounter a high-level monster we can use it. Wouldn't it be a free trump card?"
"It's useless." Ian shook his head: "Although the high-level monsters hate the smell of worm powder but it doesn't mean that it can stop them. Otherwise there wouldn't be monsters sneaking out of the wasteland. When we encountered a high-level magical creature and attracted its attention, even the smell of the Divine Worm Powder wouldn't be able to dispel its desire to hunt us. It was just like how we hated dirty places filled with feces. But if there was gold and treasures in those places, would we still hate them? We will endure the disgust and pick out the things inside. "
Eugene was startled. He smiled bitterly and said, "Looks like I was happy for nothing."
"If you can think of it, others can too. No one is a fool," Martin, who was walking beside Ian, said coldly.
Eugene smiled but didn't speak.
"I left a mark in front of us. It disappeared." Luna suddenly said.
Ian and Martin stopped in their tracks and turned to look at her. Ian asked, "How far is it?"
"About twenty miles in the direction of eleven o 'clock." Luna frowned and shook her head: "It may have been washed away by the rain. After all, I left the mark during the last mission. It was almost half a year ago."
Ian's eyes were dignified: "Don't be careless. Your mark won't be washed away by the rain."
Luna asked: "Why don't we take a detour?"
Ian pondered for a moment as he looked around. They were surrounded by ruins of the city. They could see the outline of dark green mountains in the distance. The sky was foggy and the humidity was high.
"The wind listener is a rare monster in the monster illustrated book." Ian frowned: "It has a keen hearing and is a rock attribute monster. It can drill into the earth and hide underground. According to the monster illustrated book, it likes to live in soft and humid areas. It likes to eat rotten things, including rotten plant leaves. But it likes rotten flesh and corpses the most. "
"This area is the western part of the third orange wasteland. It's also a rather humid area. It should be lurking somewhere around this ruined city."
Martin nodded: "It will be difficult for us to find it. We can only follow the old rules and let it come out to find us. But it is easy to attract other monsters with similar taste. Everyone get ready for battle."
Ian nodded slightly and glanced at a tall building nearby. He immediately climbed up from the outside of the tall building. The tall building was covered with vines and looked as if it was supported by vines. He climbed to the top of the building and looked at it for a while. Then, he returned downstairs and said to everyone, "Go to the west. The fog is thicker there."
He took the lead and walked forward.
Dean and Luna followed him and were responsible for guiding the way.
Along the way, they avoided some scorching hot monsters. Occasionally, they encountered some Undead or Level 10 monsters. Ian led the team to kill them or shake them off. He didn't deliberately hunt them.
Dean followed the team and experienced the work of the Dragon Guards. He suddenly understood why there were still so many monsters in the Wasteland outside the Giant Wall. Now the reason was clear. The Pioneers were only responsible for killing high-level monsters, and the Limiteer was only responsible for hunting monsters. As for the rest of the monsters, they were too lazy to pay attention to them. It would waste unnecessary physical energy.
In the end, these demonic creatures survived and multiplied more and more.
"Hey!" When they passed the corner of the ruined street, they saw a monster pointed out by Dean. Ian was surprised when he saw its appearance. He turned and smiled: "It is a rare monster in the growth period named Cytoplasmic Worm. Our luck is good."
When they saw the monster, there was a trace of smile on their faces. A rare monster named Parasitic Soul Worm could be exchanged for 200 medals. If it was a rare monster, it could be exchanged for 1000 medals.
"Eugene, Dean, which one of you is going to kill it?" Ian laughed: "Hurry up. Don't let it run away."
Eugene said excitedly: "I'll go." Then he lifted his sword and rushed forward.
This Cytoplasmic Being in its growth stage had a hunting level between eighteen and twenty-five. Its body was humanoid, but it had a few head-like sarcomas. Each sarcoma was covered with stinky mucus that oozed a pale yellow liquid like bile. Its sharp claws were uneven like tree branches, but they were very sharp. It stood crookedly, looking extremely terrifying.
If it was a complete Cytoplasmic Worm, its hunting level would reach 57. It could easily kill a senior limiteer. But this one needed to go through two more transformations.
"Hiss!" Seeing Eugene pounce, the Cytoplasmic Worm opened its mouth and roared. The center of its abdomen cracked open with sharp teeth. Its body suddenly shot out to meet Eugene.
Eugene was agile and easily dodged the Cytoplasm Being's frontal attack. As he brushed past the Cytoplasm Being, he swung his sword backhandedly and cut the Cytoplasm Being's body. Yellow blood spurted out and splashed on the back of his armor.
He lowered his body and quickly stopped. He turned around and stabbed the Cytoplasmic Worm's body. Then he shook his arm and widened the wound. He quickly pulled out his sword and kicked the Cytoplasmic Worm. The Cytoplasmic Worm lost balance and leaned forward.
At the same time, he quickly caught up and cut the sarcomas on its body.
Before coming to the barren area, he had done a lot of homework. He memorized the monster atlas. He knew that the Cytoplasmic Worm's fatal weakness was these sarcomas. They could give birth to small Cytoplasmic Worms. This was a monster that reproduced monogamously.
The battle ended quickly. Eugene was a junior limiteer after all. He could fight a monster that was level 40. Although this named monster was stronger than ordinary monsters of the same level, its overall combat ability was only around level 30. A difference of ten levels meant a crushing defeat.
After killing the Cytoplasmic Worm, Eugene took out a Parasitic Soul Worm from its blood and put it in a bottle in his backpack.
Everyone would wear this special bottle to store Parasitic Soul Worms before coming out. This was in case they were lucky enough to have something to store them in the future.
Returning to the crowd, Eugene smiled. "This little thing is quite agile."
Ian smiled. "Let's go. The smell of blood here is too heavy. We don't want to attract other monsters." Then he quickly led the team along the street.
A long time after everyone left the street, the body of the Cytoplasmic One lying in the middle of the street trembled slightly. Then, it seemed to be dragged by something into the darkness of the alley next to it, and then there was the sound of bones being chewed.
After killing the Cytoplasmic Worm, Dean and the others met a lot of monsters. Most of them were undead. Occasionally they met flying monsters. These flying monsters hovered in the sky. Occasionally they would swoop down and pick up undead or unknown monsters from the ground. Then they would fly into the sky and disappear into the distance.
The sky was getting dark.
Ian stopped and led Dean and the others to a basement in the ruins. The area was covered with dust and cobwebs. There was also some dry and viscous slurry. It seemed to be the saliva and feces left by some monsters. Obviously, there used to be monsters living here.
But from the traces of the dry mucus, it seemed that the monsters that lived here had left a long time ago.
"Deal with the blood on your body." Ian used a grass brush that was rolled up by the roadside vines to wipe the blood on his armor.
Eugene, Rosemary, Martin and others silently wiped the bloodstains on their armors. They knew that the danger outside the giant wall would gradually come. The longer they stayed in the giant wall, the more bloodstains they would get. The higher the chance of attracting high-level monsters.
