Suddenly, Aoki felt that this method of luring monsters seemed to be much more efficient. Disregarding everything else, they might not encounter any more Supersonic Bats and Mouthmouth Bats after they reached the end of the tunnel. Even if they did, they would have to travel a long distance to meet them.
Just as Aoki was about to let Kira and the rest return, a stench suddenly appeared in the tunnel.
It wasn't the stench of the gas that Ghostie had absorbed, but a typical stench. It was the smell of something rotten or moldy.
It gradually filled the entire tunnel, and Aoki couldn't help but frown.
It couldn't be helped. It was too smelly, and in such a small space, the smell was even more obvious.
It wasn't just Aoki. Dark Crow, Dazed Beast, and Kira also felt that it was a little smelly, and couldn't help but cover their noses with their hands.
Milk Can even used its two front hooves to cover its nostrils.
Apart from Pincer Scorpion and Ghostie who could ignore the smell, all the other elves were more or less affected.
Two blobs of purple sludge appeared in front of Aoki and the rest. They could clearly feel that the stench was coming from them.
As they got closer, the stench became more and more obvious.
"This is … Stinky Mud?" Aoki looked at the two blobs of shapeless sludge and thought of the name of a small elf.
He didn't expect that there would be an elf called Stinky Mud in this underground tunnel.
Stinky Mud elves were garbage eaters. Most of the time, they would appear in the garbage dumps of various big cities. While they got food, they could also help humans get rid of the garbage in their daily lives.
As the two Stinky Mud elves got closer, Aoki's chip scanned their data.
The two Stinky Mud elves' levels weren't low.
Small Elf: Stinky Mud (Dark Yellow)
Gender: Female
Level: 24
Attribute: Poison
Characteristics: Gluttonous Ghost
Portable Items: None
Inherited Skills: Swallow, Tongue Lick
Basic Skills: Smack, Poison Gas, Harden, Mud Throw, Immobilize, Mud Attack, Mud Bomb, Shrink
Imparted Skill: Snoring
Skill Learning Device: None
These were the stats of the Stinky Mud with the higher level and aptitude. The other Stinky Mud had a yellow aptitude and was level 22.
Obviously, the two poison-type Stinky Slime had also been attracted by the poisonous gas from before. Their movement speed was relatively slow, so they arrived much later than the Supersonic Bat and the others.
While he crawled over, he did not forget to absorb the Supersonic Bat corpses on the ground into his body.
As poison-type and flying-type sprites, the Supersonic Bat and the Big Mouth Bat were also sprites that could provide them with great nourishment.
Although they were all dead, Stinky Mud, which could even absorb energy from trash, obviously didn't care whether the Supersonic Bats were dead or not.
Aoki frowned as he looked at the two Stinky Mud. He gradually understood why there was no trash in the tunnel and why there were Stinky Mud elves that fed on trash.
It was because the two of them fed on the corpses of the sprites in the tunnel. They were crazily absorbing the corpses of the Supersonic Bats into their own mud. Almost a hundred Supersonic Bats were too much for them to handle, and their bodies began to swell.
They even forgot about the poisonous gas that had attracted them. The large number of Supersonic Bats and the Big Mouth Bats on the ground were much more attractive to them.
Aoki did not stop them. After all, although Stinky Mud elves looked and smelled unacceptable, it had to be said that their existence was still very helpful to humans. Without them, piles of trash would probably be produced every year.
Ghost had completely absorbed the poisonous gas and had begun to gradually become familiar with it. It had integrated it into its body and developed a resistance to it.
In the future, as long as there was not too much of the poisonous gas, Ghost would be able to absorb it quickly and strengthen its own poison attribute.
Therefore, the smell that could attract poison-type sprites gradually dissipated. The Pincer Scorpion, which had been lying there quietly and needed Aoki's comfort, also gradually returned to normal.
Thus, after the two stinky mud elves absorbed all the Supersonic Bats and Big Mouth Bats, they prepared to turn and leave.
Aoki chose to ignore the two stinky mud elves that had eaten too much. Part of the reason was that they had given up on attacking, but another important reason was that they were too smelly!
That's right, they were too smelly! Even though they had been here for so long, the smell in the tunnel was getting worse and worse. Their noses showed no signs of getting used to it.
Didn't they see that the dazed beast and the others didn't even have the slightest desire to fight?
However, just as the stinky mud elves were about to turn and leave, Aoki subconsciously used the A.I. Chip to scan their data.
He suddenly discovered that the originally yellow stinky mud's aptitude had darkened after devouring so many Supersonic Bats and Big Mouth Bats.
Aoki thought that he had seen wrongly, and only after the A.I. Chip, which was slightly lagging, did he realize that it was true.
He then scanned the originally dark yellow stinky mud. Although it was not as obvious as the yellow stinky mud, its aptitude had also darkened slightly.
Could the stinky mud increase its aptitude by absorbing the corpses of other sprites? Or could it only be done by poisonous sprites?
Could these two stinky mud elves use this method to increase their aptitude, or could all stinky mud elves use this method to increase their aptitude?
It was not impossible to increase the aptitude of a sprite in the elven world, but the price to pay for it was too great. It could be even more difficult than nurturing a sprite to the point where it could fight.
For example, the unicorn sprite egg that Aoki had sold to Shadow on the trial island had originally been a light green one. In the end, it had turned into a large green Stinger Bee.
Hence, the aptitude of a sprite could be changed, but the price was greater.
These two stinky mud elves piqued Aoki's interest. If these two stinky mud elves could complete their evolution after digesting the corpses of the Supersonic Bats and Big Mouth Bats, then the light green stinky mud would have some value.
After all, the stinky mud elves and the evolved stinky mud elves were still not bad.
However, what if the aptitude of these two stinky mud elves wasn't just light green? Who knew if they could increase their aptitude even further after increasing it by one rank?
Immediately, Aoki's breathing became rough. If the stinky mud elves had enough corpses and resources, could they increase their aptitude without limit?
It didn't matter if they couldn't increase their aptitude without limit. As long as they could increase their aptitude by a few small ranks, wouldn't that mean that their value would soar crazily?
After all, every time Aoki killed a sprite that took the initiative to attack him in the wild, he would just throw the corpses away. In the end, it would still benefit the sprites in the wild.
