Chapter 303: 147: A Different Mutator_3
These monsters can't die.
Yes, their forms vaguely resembled human shapes, but they were like stick figures, their bodies only outlined like a human's, yet they could twist at will.
They used the mucus on their bodies to dissolve the Corruption Tentacles, but Zhou Baiyu was also using the Corruption Tentacles to pierce through their bodies.
But it was pointless, for they were like mucus themselves, and could slowly flow back to their original shape even after being pierced.
It seemed as if all attacks were just hitting cotton.
Just when Zhou Baiyu was at a loss, Jiang Xianwu, the Death Cursing Master, suddenly opened his eyes.
In that instant, the circle of Corruption Tentacles was suddenly covered in a layer of red light.
This was the light emitted from the blood bars above these twisted monsters' heads.
Zhou Baiyu was surprised to find that every monster that came close to the Corruption Tentacles had a blood bar above them.
Although the Corruption Tentacles couldn't kill, or even harm, these monsters in school uniforms, the blood bars above their heads decreased bit by bit as they came close to the tentacles.
But Zhou Baiyu had no time to rejoice before realizing... Jiang Xianwu had created so many blood bars for so many monsters that he was greatly exhausted.
He even started to breathe heavily.
This was not a good thing.
And at this time, more monsters were continuously emerging from the building that looked like sharp fangs.
With a monster's blood bar hitting zero, the previously unbeatable creature instantaneously vanished.
The terror of the Death Cursing Master made Zhou Baiyu realize how frightening a visible blood bar was, essentially creating a weakness out of thin air.
As long as one continued to attack this weakness a certain number of times, they could directly kill the opponent.
But the physical toll of this ability was too great. These monsters were just minions, and already Jiang Xianwu was nearly exhausted.
He said with some difficulty,
"Sorry, I'm too weak... I can't create any more blood bars."
Zhou Baiyu gave him an encouraging look,
"The monsters keep coming incessantly. Unless you have infinite stamina, facing them head-on was never the right choice. You've already done well."
"But conserve your stamina for what's next."
That said, Zhou Baiyu himself continued to cast Corruption Tentacles to fend off the approach of these monsters.
Fortunately, at this moment, Sima Kaoyu finally completed the Ice Seal Curse.
The ground beneath them turned into solid ice, freezing the liquid-like monsters' feet!
In that instant, all the monsters stopped moving, their bodies still contorting.
But before anyone could rejoice, the next second saw the ice being dissolved by the strange mucus.
The solution seemed completely un-freezable!
"Damn it!"
After all, they were just a bunch of beginners. Casting small-scale spells was fine, but large-scale ones left them all breathless, just like Jiang Xianwu, after using them only once or twice.
Xinkui said,
"Mr. Jiang, is mutation useful?"
"The prerequisite for mutation is to have items that can be mutated. Where can we get such items now?"
Less than two minutes of the five had passed, and already monsters were within two meters of Zhou Baiyu and the others. Zhou Baiyu could even see the name of Baishi Middle School on their uniforms.
He suddenly remembered, there indeed was such a school in Songjiang City.
Baishi Middle School, famous for its strict management and internal competitive environment, boasted a high college acceptance rate. Students there were very proud to show off their uniforms.
However, such clues or information could not resolve the crisis at hand.
Xinkui said,
"Actually... I have quite a few unused equipment mods on me, which I got from drinking with Sister Lin in exchange for pioneer points!"
"Equipment mods?"
The other three were astounded; the psychological resilience of these two Mutators was remarkable. With monsters nearly upon them, they still managed to converse calmly.
Zhou Baiyu was truly calm, while Xinkui had absolute trust in Jiang Xianwu.
Xinkui had no time to explain.
Like Zhou Baiyu, Xinkui also made purchases from Sister Lin before setting out.
But while Zhou Baiyu had participated in the Trial of Redemption and could freeload a buff drink, Xinkui had paid with pioneer points.
Sometimes it's like this, the service you pay for could be met with indifference, yet someone who freeloads may receive enthusiastic service.
Of course, Xinkui didn't know what Sister Lin's attitude was towards Zhou Baiyu.
He spoke quickly,
"Weapons, armor, accessories... I have two mods for each, six in total. Mr. Jiang, what do you need?"
Zhou Baiyu understood. Xinkui had drawn initial equipment mods from Lin.
These mods were the carriers for mutation.
If you could mutate something good, then these mods would become very useful items, but if you were unlucky... these mods, in a sense, were just pure trash.
It had to be said, the Mutator profession was truly a pitfall.
"Weapons!"
Time Spirit Sima Kaoyu wasn't ready with his large-scale Time-Slowing Spell, so Zhou Baiyu had to choose to fight on his own.
The next second, Xinkui pulled out a sword-shaped mod from his "equipment bar."
This sword was so flimsy it probably couldn't hurt anyone, let alone a child on the butt compared to a feather duster.
But Zhou Baiyu had no choice. At this time, as long as the item was defined as a sword, then he was highly likely to mutate an anomalous property related to swords.
As a result, with this sword mod, Zhou Baiyu found that after becoming a third-order Demonic Mutator, his mutation process had also shortened.
