Chapter 10: Stone Skin Poison Frog!

“Ding!”

“Congratulations have reached Level 6.”

After staying in the forest for a period of time, Lorne's level had reached Level 6.

In ‘Cheavenly nature’, the higher the player level, the more experience points required.

For a player like Lorne, they need 900 experience points to level up.

At least 52 demonized stray dogs had to be killed to level up.

Calculating based on the continuous grinding speed, it would take half an hour.

For other players, getting one level in half an hour was very efficient.

But for Lorne, it was too slow.

After all, he needed to earn 300 gold coins within half a month. If he relied on his current efficiency, he would never be able to complete his goal.

He knew very well that he had to raise his level as soon as possible and use that advantage to gain the advantage of other players.

Otherwise, to him, the days of being in debt like that were too torturous.

With that thought, he left the forest.

He planned to go to a higher level location.

Currently, most of the players entered this territory. Even if he stayed here to kill monsters, he would not be able to snatch many of them.

It is better to go early and go deep into the resource-rich forest alone.

“Stone Valley?”

Opening the map, he focused on the dark area.

Due to the Missionary Assessment, Lorne had to kill a hundred Stone Beetles, which were collected in the Stone Valley in the northwest.

…

Half an hour later, Lorne emerged from the dense foliage.

Standing on the edge of the forest, what appeared before him was a rock-covered canyon.

Staring at the towering mountains on both sides, Lorne was convinced that this used to be a bottomless river.

But now the river was dry, revealing a rocky riverbed.

The stone beetles registered in the mission were in this huge valley.

The crack!

As he pondered…

A nearby rock suddenly let out a sound.

Lorne quickly looked up and saw that the stone was cracking. From the crack, the limbs sticking out.

————

[Stone Beetle]

Quality: Normal

Level: 5

HP: 800/800

Physical Attacks: 25-35

Defense: 50

Expertise: [Stone Body]: Withstand 50% physical damage.

Introduction: Rock type life form. Since his entire body was made of stone, he had a strong defense. Ordinary swords cannot hurt him.

————

“It's troublesome.”

Seeing the creature gave him a headache.

Although his opponent was only a Level 5 monster, what was surprising was that his health points reached 800 points!

What was even more frightening was that his [Rock Body] skill also made him immune to 50% physical damage. Coupled with 50 defense points, which player could kill such a monster alone?

Even the Two-Headed Demon Hound behind Lorne could not break through such a terrifying defense.

Therefore, there were only two options before him.

1: Go now and level up the pet before returning.

2: Create a monster that deals magic damage.

Both options are quite feasible.

But there wasn't much time for Lorne to solve that problem.

Therefore, he firmly chose the second option.

“But the only question is, what kind of monster am I making?” Lorne.

When he came to this region, he met many kinds of monsters.

Many of them were magic-type creatures.

Yet…

Lorne has to find the right choice.

The health points of the Stone Beetle are too high. If he used magic attacks to kill them one by one, it would take a lot of time.

He must find the monster that deals AOE damage.

And yet!

In the early stages of the game, monsters with AOE moves are rare.

He had to carefully choose among the monsters that he had only seen once.

And suddenly!

Eyes lit.

“Finded him!” Lorne looked delighted as she muttered.

He remembered that he had met an ugly but suitable monster on the way to the Stone Valley.

With this thought, he immediately left the valley and rushed into the forest.

Later, he began a carpet search for depressed lands.

According to his memory, the monster should have been nearby.

But it's good at disguise. If one did not look closely, one would easily miss it.

After searching for ten minutes, Lorne finally saw something.

“It's there!”

Not far away, there was a dark green frog. Since her body color was the same as that of the forest, it took Lorne twice the effort to find her trace.

[Toxic Toads]

These are monsters that do not actively attack.

But if injured, the poison sac on his back will spray poison that will harm the target.

So, even though this monster was extremely ugly, as long as it was used properly, it would definitely be very useful.

While he was thinking, the Two-Headed Demon Dog had conquered the monster with his companions.

Now it's Lorne's turn.

He had to think of a way to let these monsters gain high defense. Otherwise, it would not have been able to withstand the attacks of so many stone beetles.

How to make it?

He already has a plan.

He took out some ores from the ground and opened the synthesis template.

“Ding!”

“The prototype of monsters and materials has been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Toxic Rattles) + (Ordinary Stones x5) \= (???)”

“The price is 120 bronze coins. Do you want to join? ”

Even though it was just an ordinary stone taken from the ground, it should have been able to provide enough defense for the monster.

Lorne's sure.

He immediately chose to confirm it.

A familiar magic circle appeared, enveloping the poisonous frog.

Then, the rocks turned into a yellow light that entered his body.

Unlike before, this fusion seemed more thorough.

A yellow light completely enveloped the poisonous frog, as if it wanted to change its entire body.

Soon, the light disappeared.

The ugly poisonous frog had also changed.

The poison pouch on his back had turned into stone, as if a stone statue had cracked.

This is not what he planned.

Fortunately, there was still poison gushing out from the gap between the rocks. The poison frog's greatest weapon can still be used.

At the same time, he heard a pleasant reminder.

“Compression succeeded!”

“Happy to have earned Elite Monster—Stone Skin Poison Toad!”
