Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 63: The Gron Frogman
Following the direction of Sam's finger, Levi saw about fifty or sixty human-shaped frogs about one meter tall running towards them.
The swamp was a bit uncomfortable for Donna and others, but they walked on it as if it were flat ground. It was obvious that they also had a special skill similar to the magical pet frog's swamp stride.
Some of them can even jump seven or eight meters in one leap. Considering their height of less than one meter, this jumping ability is quite amazing.
Most of them have green skin, holding short swords and small bows, but there are occasionally a few with different colors, including blue skin, purple skin, and one red skin.
Their weapons and equipment were also slightly different and looked more refined, which obviously represented their different identities and strengths, especially the red-skinned one, who was holding a small staff that looked like a dead branch in his hand.
Donna laughed immediately: "I didn't expect that there are high-caste spellcasters among these Gron frogmen."
Although she had never been here before and had never encountered a Gron frogman, there were other types of frogmen on Paradise Island.
According to her past experience, frogmen mostly have a strict internal system divided according to skin color.
And often the brighter the color, the higher the status, and the more ordinary the color, the lower the status.
Those in gray and green are basically at the lowest level among the frogmen. Those in blue are basically in the middle level, while the rare ones in red and orange are usually the leaders, priests, shamans and the like of various frogman tribes.
This is not because bright colors look good, but because in this dangerous world, having a bright and conspicuous skin color and still being able to survive has already proved their strength. The weaker they are, the more they need protective coloration.
Over time, after countless generations of reproduction, the colorful frogmen who are still alive today were formed. They are all stronger than their ordinary counterparts, and naturally enjoy better treatment in the tribe.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong enemy this time.
With a light shout, Donna shot three arrows in succession, and before all the Grung Frogmen could react, she nailed the red one to a rotten tree trunk.
Its death did not matter. The several flying insects that had originally gathered together and shared a common hatred of the enemy suddenly panicked. They no longer attacked Levi and his team with a unified goal, but started fighting among themselves as soon as possible.
Dragonflies originally feed on mosquitoes and flies, and even after they mutated and expanded many times in size, this has not changed at all.
The swamp dragonflies were busy hunting, while the swamp flies and swamp mosquitoes were either busy escaping or resisting, and almost no one chose to continue attacking Levi and the others.
Those Grizzled Frogs soon fell into a similar state of confusion, because apart from killing the red Grizzled Frog, Donna did not stop at all and easily killed the other blue and purple-skinned ones.
After losing their commander, some of these subordinate members, who obviously had low intelligence, chose to flee, while others decided to continue attacking Levi and his men.
But in fact, this was nothing more than a desperate charge. In less than ten minutes, this large-scale encounter had come to an end.
Levi also received a slightly superior evaluation. Although the number of enemies had an overwhelming advantage, their average strength was too low after all.
At the same time, this was also the first time that he made the greatest contribution in the battle with his own strength, because with those three burning hands, he killed a total of 135 swamp flies!
In addition to the subordinates gaining a large amount of experience points, the red frogman named Gron Frogman Externalizer actually dropped a skill book that can be learned.
Scroll - Divine Berry: Use it to learn the 2nd level divine spell of the same name.
Limited professions: Ranger, Druid
Requirements for use: Level 4 or Level 3 (inclusive).
Magic Berry: Level 2, consumes 20 magic points, you can randomly turn 2-8 fresh strawberries into magic berries with special powers (the number is based on the caster's level and intelligence and other related attributes).
The magic berry can be stored for 3 days. Each magic berry can serve as a day's supply for a medium-sized creature. At the same time, when a magic berry is eaten, 1 point of damage can be cured. However, within 24 hours, the maximum healing a creature can obtain by eating magic berries cannot exceed 8 points.
A spellcaster or any 4th-level or 3rd-level (inclusive) ranger or druid can directly distinguish which are magic berries and which are ordinary strawberries.
Levi took a look at it and thought it was interesting. The healing effect of the magic berry was a joke, but the special effect of one strawberry being a day's supply might save a lot of money on buying supplies.
As long as you have enough magic points, you don't need to bring ordinary supplies and just bring strawberries.
At the same time, he roughly understood why so many insects were driven by the Grond Frogmen, because the red-skinned one killed by Donna was obviously a druid who was better at communicating with animals than the ranger.
He simply threw it to Donna. Rangers can also learn and cast divine spells like druids, but Donna had always specialized in bows and arrows, so she had not learned any divine spells. This time it was a good opportunity for her to learn one for fun.
Donna was really interested in this: "Haha, it's the famous God Berry Technique. It's a pity that I don't have the props to store fresh strawberries."
If you want to perform the magic berry technique, one very important thing is that the strawberries must be fresh and cannot be seriously damaged. Does she have to put them in her pocket?
Levi raised his eyebrows immediately, and threw his ten-grid initial space backpack over. "That's right, I have filled it with all the arrows you need, and I'll give it to you to keep from now on, how about that?"
While keeping them safe, they are also responsible for distributing and replenishing arrows to the half-elves, and may even have to take on some command tasks. Both of them are well aware of this.
But Donna still took it immediately. She didn't dislike it at all and even had some anticipation for it.
Levi's fighting style is very different from the command of the priests on Paradise Island, and it has been a long time since she had to concentrate so much on every battle. It is actually quite good to continue following Levi.
As for other swamp flying insects, and even ordinary Grond Frogmen, there were no spoils.
It's not just because ordinary Gron frogmen are too weak, they are all level 0, but also because they are in a swamp at the moment. Even if they really have some gains, they will fall into the quagmire if they are not careful.
Levi also increasingly understood why many people did not like to fight in special terrains such as swamps and rivers, because even if you won, your spoils might be greatly discounted due to the terrain.
