Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 60: Something is wrong

 That [mutated acid worm] is also a mutated monster that has never appeared before. If the omniscient eye had not seen the habits of this insect, Su Lun would not have doubts in his heart.

 But now that he knew it, he became suspicious.

 Obviously it is a non-aggressive insect, so why did it fall out of the nest?

 "Unless there is a fatal threat, they generally will not leave the nest." This detailed explanation is very eye-catching. What exactly threatens their lives?

 Is it the instructor of the academy who wants to increase the difficulty of the trial?

 Something was wrong in Su Lun's mind, but before he had time to think about it, the group of students had already ran out of the acid pool and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel where he was hiding.

  .....

 “Oh, it’s so disgusting, this snot-like mucus made me almost spit out my breakfast.”

 “Damn it! What kind of bug is this? Why have I never heard of it...”

 "Can someone help me wash the mucus off my clothes? I feel like I can't breathe..."

 “…”

 The students abandoned their mechanical shields and some heavy equipment and ran over in disgust. They were all covered in green slime and looked very embarrassed.

 Obviously, though, these bugs are just an appetizer.

 Su Lun's eyes were staring solemnly into the depths of the corridor, as if he was looking for something. He didn't forget that there was a note behind the worm's note: "The mature form is extremely aggressive."

 Since this is the lair of larvae, the mature monster must be nearby!

 The female assistant teacher Rosa obviously realized the point. She stopped the students who wanted to take off their combat uniforms on the spot and said: "Everyone, be careful, the next wave of monsters may be coming! Everyone, unlock the alchemy Plant equipment and prepare to fight!"

 With this order, the students who had not yet taken off their implants before had their alchemy formations lit up at their feet. Then all kinds of gorgeous alchemy implants were displayed like a high-end exhibition, blinding Su Lun. The titanium alloy eyes of local goods.

 [Diamond Dragon Skin], [Lava Demon's Flame Core], [Thunder Serpent Eyes], [Velociraptor's Rage Demon Muscle]... There is also a familiar plant type, the Cross Cadre's [ Thousand Killing Wings]!

 The level of alchemy equipment can be seen from the complexity of the alchemy formations on the ground, including legal, physical, and functional... there is not a single black iron equipment!

 Sulun has only seen silver plant equipment with pictures and introductions in the "Alchemy Plant Equipment Encyclopedia", and there are even several students who have suspected gold plant equipment.

 As soon as the alchemy plant equipment was released, the momentum of the entire team changed drastically.

 (Note: Planting equipment consumes dark spiritual power, and low-level professionals cannot maintain the unlocked state for a long time;)

 “…”

Su Lun looked at these students, his eyes slightly stagnant.

 I spent a lot of money to get a golden plant equipment blueprint, but now the main materials have not yet been obtained. These students in front of me have not even left school, and they have easily equipped themselves with the best equipment.

 However, after seeing the luxurious equipment of these young rich people along the way, he was not too surprised when he saw this.

 Of course, there are always some exceptions in this group of proud little lions.

 The words of assistant coach Rosa made everyone aware of the crisis of the situation, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

At this moment, Su Lun once again felt a gaze from the crowd aimed at him.

  Turning his head to look, little fat Charlie cast a weak look for help at him again, meaning: Look, I told him there was danger. Brother, you should understand~

 Nearly all the students in the class have unlocked the alchemy plant equipment, but the ones at the tail end of Fatty's team...have not.

 It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t have it.

 The only one that Su Lun missed was the black iron plant equipment [Iron-headed Dragon's Mushroom Skull], a plant equipment that can improve the ability to save life, but looks extremely ugly.

 Perhaps my talent is too low and I really can’t integrate high-quality plant equipment, so I can only install this thing reluctantly.

 The other fat guys are not even professionals!

 After all, having money can assist cultivation, but it cannot completely replace it.

 Advanced professionals need dark spiritual power to reach the standard, which requires countless days and nights of hard meditation. For many people, this is a very difficult process. The more you want to find a job as soon as possible, the more self-discipline you need.

 Obviously, little fat Charlie is not the kind of person who can discipline himself in spiritual practice.

Su Lun once again showed a dumbfounded expression, but nodded towards the fat man, and the guy turned his head in relief.

  .....

 Obviously, Su Lun's worries are not unnecessary.

Teacher Assistant Rosa’s reminder also prevented the students from being caught off guard again.

 Just after those white worms fell to the ground and broke into pieces, it didn't take long for a chain reaction to occur.

  Honestly, I haven’t seen any deformed monsters, but dense and weird “squeaking” sounds came from the deep holes above my head like microphones...

 In this dark cave, people’s hair stood on end when they heard it.

 “Here it comes!”

 Suellen's eyesight allowed him to see the monster before others.

I saw some flying monsters that looked like bats and moths suddenly sprang out of the caves where worms had fallen out before.

 【Distorted flesh-winged moth】

 Detailed explanation: 'Blue-eyed poisonous moths' have mutated due to environmental influences; although they are very fragile, their mouthparts have super armor-breaking capabilities and can inject neuro-paralyzing toxins that can cause death; they are abnormally sensitive to luminous objects. Sensitive and extremely aggressive!

 “Is this the mature body of the worm?”

Su Lun looked at the strange moth with the fleshy wings of the elder bat and the long mouthparts about half a meter away, with a slightly solemn expression.

 Without any hesitation, he immediately covered all the shiny and reflective things on his body behind his windbreaker.

 There was no time to warn, and in an instant, strange moths flew down like a blanket.

 At this time, teaching assistant Rosa also quickly approached Su Lun and reminded her kindly: "Mr. Guide, don't stay too far away from me."

 This is a trial for the students, not for the guide to die. She looked at Su Lun who was "poorly equipped" and naturally thought of helping if she could. Don't let the guide die here not long after the trial started.

 “Hmm.”

 Su Lun nodded, did not refuse the kindness, and responded: "Thank you."

 Although those monsters are very fast, in his left eye, he can clearly distinguish and catch almost every approaching moth.

 He was not about to draw his gun, but touched the two Nepali scimitars he had made himself at his waist.

Since we know that this moth likes light, it is best not to use a gun, otherwise the fire will definitely attract more moths. Although he has not shown much close combat ability on weekdays, Su Lun, who is [Proficient in Intermediate Sword Skills], is not weak in close combat ability!

  .....

Su Lun instantly knew the monster's "light-seeking" habit through the Eye of Omniscient, but the students did not know it.

 What's more, the energy symbols on their combat uniforms (to prevent accidental injuries in the dark), as well as the light of plant equipment and spells, are everywhere, and they cannot be concealed no matter what.

 In the dark, it looks particularly dazzling.

 As soon as the overwhelming strange moths flew down, they immediately swarmed towards the students.

 For a time, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and all kinds of gorgeous spells were thrown at the group of monsters for free.

 But this time, the "money ability" does not seem to be so obviously useful.

 Too much heavy equipment was used in the previous battle, some needed to be cooled down, and some were left in the acid...

 Although the concentrated fire killed a large number of moths. But the sudden burst of light made the tide of strange moths become more "excited".

 They were like a sandstorm, instantly covering the entire team.

Su Lun did not dare to get close to the group of students. He found a dark corner to hide. This is the students' trial, not his. But even so, the knife still killed several strange moths flying around.

 "Those students will have to suffer now..."

Su Lun looked at the students who were still using fire to kill monsters, and knew that this time they would definitely have to struggle with their "money power".

 Experienced hunters all know that dealing with deformed monsters is not a static push-and-play method, and one must also observe the monster's habits. If you find the right skills, you may be able to achieve great things with small skills; if you don't find the right skills, even high-level professionals may be killed by low-level monsters when encountering those with restrained abilities.

 Just like before our eyes, the students used fire spells on these strange moths that are sensitive to light sources. Not to mention the effect of killing enemies, it is indeed good to lure enemies.

 When these strange moths see a light source, they will not be afraid of life and death and rush towards them crazily!

 Furthermore, flying monsters are much more agile than the previous land monsters.

 The all-round three-dimensional attack also made the students' defense lines useless.

 Furthermore, because monsters have the dexterity of bats to dodge obstacles, the damage that guns can cause is very limited. Without superb marksmanship, you wouldn't even want to hit.

  ......

 “Captain Jack, what should we do?!”

 “Damn it, these moths interfered with my vision, and I didn’t even aim. Beating the wings was useless. If I couldn’t hit their heads, I couldn’t kill them!”

 "What kind of monster is this? The flamethrower burns more and more! It will be bad if we don't think of a solution."

 “…”

 The strange moths attacked, and the students instantly felt that the effectiveness of the muskets in their hands was getting worse and worse. Even Jack, known as the "college's best sharpshooter", also misfired and made frequent mistakes.

 Before, he was so confident that he could kill aberrant monsters with one shot, but now he couldn't even do the most basic self-protection.

Su Lun looked on from a distance and smacked his lips.

 This is the difference between target practice and actual combat.

The reason why Jack performed so well before was because his teammates created a stable shooting environment for him. But now that he was harassed by a strange moth at close range, his shortcomings in actual combat adaptability were immediately exposed.

  .....

 After a while, the situation became worse and worse.

 “These guys should have learned ‘combat observation’. After suffering such a big loss, they haven’t discovered that these strange moths have the habit of being attracted to light sources?”

Su Lun frowned slightly from time to time.

 Equipment, equipment, skills, and knowledge reserves are all considered elite, but their adaptability is too poor and they have no real actual combat experience at all. When you encounter a monster you have never seen before, you are immediately confused.

 Su Lun originally knew that there was a second-level instructor secretly following the academy. Seeing the students being beaten and running away in panic, Su Lun followed him from a distance without warning.

 But gradually, as the situation became worse and worse, he found that something was wrong.
