Chapter 97 The Frog Queen's Gift: The Racial Rare Item [Frog Croaking Drum]!
After losing the command of the Rainbow-skinned Swamp Frog, the lower-ranking members, whose intelligence was clearly not high, immediately fell into chaos.
Most timid yet astute individuals, driven by instinctive fear, turn and flee the battlefield without hesitation.
Their gray-green, mottled bodies leaped about, using the unique vegetation and puddles of the swamp as cover, quickly disappearing into the misty environment.
Meanwhile, a small group of low-level swamp frogs continued their desperate charge towards the Ark and his skeleton army, croaking loudly.
In reality, these low-level swamp frogs were nothing more than cannon fodder in the face of the bone claws of the mid-level apprentice skeletons.
In less than ten minutes, this not-so-small skirmish came to a complete end.
The battlefield is now only filled with scattered mournful cries, and the mutilated bodies of the swamp frogs are scattered everywhere.
The green blood mingled with the swamp's filth, creating a gruesome scene.
Hunting points +50.
"Soul Power +2".
Cleaning up the battlefield and collecting loot in swampy terrain is no easy task.
Fortunately, the Ark has a hardworking army of skeletons.
It took the skeletons more than ten minutes to scavenge the corpses of the swamp frogs around the muddy battlefield.
The abdominal skin of the swamp frog can be used to make waterproof equipment, and therefore it has been included in the materials list of the Sea City Military Academy.
Ark collected 20 pieces of Swamp Frog belly skin, worth approximately 5 contribution points.
Adding to that the gray, low-quality equipment in the hands of those three rainbow-skinned swamp frogs, this wave of lucky frogs brought at least 20 contribution points to the Ark.
To his surprise, the skeletons discovered another strange item on the red-skinned swamp frog shaman.
[Frog Drum] (Grayish, Inferior Quality, Rare Item): Usable only by mages. A rare item crafted using the magic of the Swamp Frog shaman. Striking the Frog Drum allows you to detect creatures in the nearby swamp and speed up your march through the swamp. Depending on the sound wave frequency, it can attract or repel insect-type monsters. The effect depends on your Spirit attribute.
nice one!
A hint of joy appeared on Fangzhou's face.
Although the Frog Drum can only be used in swampy terrain and has a very narrow range of applications, it is just the right time for the Ark, which is currently limited by the muddy swamp terrain and whose marching speed has been greatly reduced.
These swamp frogs are truly rare and wonderful monsters!
With the Frog Drum in hand, he can definitely get through the Stinking Swamp much faster.
Perhaps we'll be able to get through this terrible terrain this morning.
As for its effectiveness in detecting swamp creatures and repelling insects, it is also very useful for the Ark.
He was in a hurry to get to the Thorn Jungle and didn't want to stay in the Stinking Swamp any longer.
With the [Frog Drum], you can accurately locate swamp monsters that might block your way, and either quietly avoid them or annihilate them all.
Ark can completely take the initiative in the battle.
Also, perhaps next time I have the opportunity, I can come here specifically to hunt.
In the stinking swamp.
Fangzhou gently tapped the Frog Drum, and a deep, rhythmic croaking sound quietly spread out.
The sound of the drums seemed to inject an invisible force into the veins of the swamp.
The originally sticky mud beneath the ark seemed to have loosened slightly, reducing the resistance during the march and making the journey much smoother from there.
Meanwhile, as he ventured deeper into the swamp, he encountered an increasing variety of monsters.
In addition to the common swamp insects, some scaly, mud-covered carrion fish monsters and several-meter-long crocodiles began to appear.
Both their scales and the mud on their bodies provide some protection, and their individual combat strength is slightly stronger than that of the Swamp Frog.
Of course, in the face of the Ark's army of skeletons, all these swamp monsters could do was light up his biological encyclopedia.
Especially those flying insect-type monsters that relied on their numbers to constantly harass him, were all disoriented by the sharp sound waves of the frog croaking drum and had no choice but to scatter and flee in panic.
The demonic cries from both sides of the strait could not be stopped; the ark had already passed beyond the myriad shoals and underground caves.
Watching the first-year students on Ark Live, his expression unconsciously relaxed.
For some reason, even though he knew that Fang Zhou was in an extremely dangerous underground cave and could be attacked by monsters at any time, he moved around very easily and casually, as if he were having a picnic in a park.
One student watched the live streams of other seed candidates, which resembled wilderness survival, and couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to the Ark pros, the others' dungeon hunting is simply a mental and physical torture."
Only someone with his level of power could treat the monsters of the dungeons as if they were nothing.
A female student looked on with longing and chimed in, "The strong will always be strong. Look, Boss Fang has only been hunting in Cave 1 for less than a day and a half, and his points have already exceeded 300. That means he'll get at least 30 contribution points as a reward."
Not to mention, the materials, weapons, and other items he seized from the monsters were already worth hundreds of contribution points.
Once he emerges from the underground cave, he'll exchange these contribution points for cultivation resources, and his strength will definitely increase by leaps and bounds again!
Another student said enviously, "I think only Boss Fang has this kind of strength!"
Both the Goblin Cave and the Stinking Swamp are high-risk no-go zones for other seeded candidates.
Even Meng Hongzhuang, who ranked second in points, didn't dare to go in and explore, and could only walk around her from a distance.
Boss Fang is absolutely stunning!
In the stinking swamp.
As the ark continued its journey, the road became easier and easier to travel.
The surrounding sewage and mud are gone, replaced by gradually solidifying land.
This also improved Fangzhou's mood somewhat.
Looking at the map on the recorder, he finally succeeded in crossing the [Stinky Swamp].
The [Frog Drum] was temporarily useless, so Ark put it away and looked back at the army of skeletons covered in mud and blood, feeling somewhat puzzled.
How could there be so many endless demonic creatures in the underground cave? Where did they come from?
Why did the Haicheng Military Academy, which clearly had the capability to destroy these underground caves, deliberately preserve them and spend a huge amount of manpower and resources to build fortresses to suppress them?
Fangzhou shook his head slightly and looked ahead.
The military academy's higher-ups wouldn't make baseless accusations, and this wasn't something he, a newly appointed apprentice, should be concerned with.
Once you have the strength, all your doubts will be resolved.
It was already noon.
After a morning of marching through the swamp and several bloody battles, Ark was already starving.
He sat down on a slightly cleaner boulder and took out military rations and canned food from his bag.
After wolfing down their food, Fangzhou rested for a while before opening the map to plan their next marching route.
