Chapter 154 The principle of fighting is to maximize the use of the things in your hands
Sewers are not something that are associated with words like "fresh smelling", "clean", or "pleasing to the eye", and this is especially true for sewers in a megacity with millions of people.
The sewers of Fairhaven are filled with silt, domestic garbage, rats, sewage, and even potions that some unscrupulous wizards poured into the sewers without disinfecting them, as well as mutated life forms that were contaminated by the unknown potions.
"I say, wasn't this sewer really intended to be used as a long-term copy for novice adventurers when it was first built?"
Walking in the spacious sewer that was three or four meters high, Mo Cheng couldn't help but wonder whether Fairhaven had thought of how to solve the situation when the sewer was first built, so they deliberately widened and raised the sewer to allow adventurers to fight in it.
"Come to think of it, it seems that the sewers in every country's capital are mostly of this type. They really have thought of this in advance, right?"
Almost every capital city of a country has similar super-large sewers, and the Adventurer's Guild there has a permanent mission of "Sewer Cleaning". This makes Mo Cheng suspect that those official personnel outsource the task directly to the Adventurer's Guild in order to save the huge amount of manpower and resources needed to clean the sewers every once in a while.
However, among the four-member team, the sisters Isabella and Theresa are not so interested in human cities, and the sewer environment also makes them extremely uncomfortable. If it were not for other reasons, the sisters who have some elven blood would have turned around and left long ago.
Let the elves who prefer neatness by nature go exploring the sewers?
Even for a half-elf, this was torture worthy of being called torture.
The keen five senses provided by their archers and elven bloodline have now become accomplices in their torture. If the Adventurer's Guild had not provided air filtering masks so that adventurers who accept missions do not have to endure the smell of biological and chemical weapons, perhaps the two of them would have already started to feel dizzy.
Because unscrupulous wizards often dump some unsafe magical experiment residues into the sewers, so that the air in the sewers contains trace amounts of toxins.
If an ordinary person stayed there for too long, he would probably be poisoned to death. Even an adventurer with considerable strength would have to return to the ground in a negative state if he stayed there for too long.
Most adventurers who accept the [Sewer Cleaning] mission will wear masks provided by the Adventurer's Guild, but this time the cleanup team only has two half-elves wearing odor-isolating masks.
"Why do you want to come to this place?"
Isabella asked in confusion. Mo Cheng pointed at Lilia who was walking in front and replied, "In order to give this little brat some necessary experience."
Lilia walked in front, constantly enduring the foul and pungent smell. At Mo Cheng's request, she did not wear a mask, and did not even have the necessary protective gear.
The toxic smell was stimulating Lilia's senses and at the same time constantly reducing her concentration. She was already regretting why she agreed to study with Mo Cheng yesterday.
Although I had a premonition, it turned out that the guardian in the actual sense would not teach me normal things.
"call out!"
A strong wind passed by, and there was a "pop" sound, and a black shadow fell to the ground. It was a huge rat as long as the forearm.
The rats were contaminated by the waste from magic experiments. Their scarlet eyes were full of ferocious animality. They were ferocious and would attack any living creature in front of them, whether moving or not, and then take the broken pieces back as food reserves.
"I'll only help you once." The small stone just now was undoubtedly thrown by Mo Cheng. He followed behind and explained the situation in front of him, "Don't let the smell interfere with your normal perception. Always pay attention to your surroundings. The dim vision in the sewer is a natural training ground for the entry level of [Blind Fighting]. Pay attention to the movements around you and stay alert."
Mo Cheng was not bothered by the stench of the sewer at all. He once had the experience of being dragged into a rotten nest by a stinking crow in the [Foreign Land] and had not yet lowered his senses, which made him extremely tolerant to stench.
Along with Mo Cheng's instructions, another ferocious rat fell from above Lilia's head, trying to achieve victory by sneak attack.
But what greeted it were several slender spiritual spikes that suddenly appeared from the body of the fierce rat and directly pierced its soft flesh. Its body was pierced and suspended in the air, but the fierce rat was still struggling, but soon a spike was inserted into the fierce rat's brain, ending all its resistance.
The sneak attack was like a signal. Countless huge and ferocious rats fell silently from the top of the head, trying to eat this rare white-haired biped by force of numbers.
Lilia extended her mental perception to two meters away, and at the same time condensed a large number of mental spikes around her body, piercing the ferocious rats and intercepting them.
Number of ferocious rats: 18. Number of mental spikes: 25.
After calculating the position, the mental spikes were used to intercept all the ferocious rats.
“Huh…Huh…”
Lilia couldn't help but hold on to the wall, not caring what the sticky feeling on her hand was, and kept gasping for breath. She had never experienced such an instant overload output. Just now, a ferocious rat almost broke through her defense, and its claws were less than three centimeters away from her face.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
There was a sound of applause from behind. "Well done. Consider this class a preview for the Mage Strategy Class. When you need to fight, no matter what you have, use it to its full potential. You did a good job just now by changing the structure of the mental shield taught in the introductory class into a simpler spike, which gives you enough killing power."
"Surrounding your body with spiritual power will also give you enough [vision]. With [vision] and [sword] in hand, then the next step is just a matter of hitting and killing."
"Don't have a stereotype about a certain spell. Spells are all [free]. Use your [free] thinking to maximize the effectiveness of the spell."
Mo Cheng's words seemed very absurd, but after actually experiencing it, Lilia was able to accurately grasp their meaning and imprint them particularly clearly in her memory.
But the class was not over yet, Lilia could feel the ground shaking slightly, and something huge was coming.
At this time, the de facto guardian behind him began to explain, "Pay attention, the next one is our mission target, the stinking slime. The stinking slime has a constantly moving core in its body, which is the fastest and best way to kill it. At the same time, the larger the stinking slime, the smaller its core is. In addition, its skin has a certain degree of resistance because it is contaminated with various experimental wastes."
"If your spikes aren't focused enough, they won't penetrate its skin. If they hit the wrong spot, it's a useless attack. Come on, this is classwork."
