This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 207 The Broken World

Slaadi, a terrifying alien creature that makes Amber Xiudu feel dangerous.

 Because of some crazy mages, some crazy alchemists, or because of some uncomfortable gods who do not cause trouble, the space in this world is very unstable.

 Many adventurers have had the experience of encountering a portal leading to a different world while exploring a secret realm.

Amber Xiudu once doubted whether it was because of this that he traveled to this world.

  Getting back to the subject, Slaad is not a creature of this plane, but comes from a world called the "Sea of ​​Chaos".

 Legends, a **** tried to use an artifact to calm the chaos in the Sea of ​​Chaos and prevent the chaos from spreading to other worlds. However, the artifact was eroded by the power of chaos and turned into a huge egg.

 Then, the world's first slaadi was born.

This kind of monster seems to be a born rebel, born from an artifact that prevents the spread of chaos, but is bent on spreading chaos to other worlds.

These monsters that look like giant toads have terrible parasitic abilities. As long as they are scratched by their claws, the eggs of the slaadi will have been planted into the body of the unlucky guy. As the eggs hatch into slaad tadpoles, the unlucky host will be eaten by the tadpoles, and new slaadi will hatch.

And this kind of parasitism is almost incurable. Most of the known drugs and spells are ineffective against slaadi eggs. This thing is as terrifying as the mind flayer's parasitism. But the mind flayer's parasitism ritual is very troublesome, and the host needs to be controlled first without any resistance. The Slaad is much simpler, it only needs to leave you a wound.

Amberxiu tried the fireball technique again, but it only blew up these monsters. Although there were injuries, it was not fatal.

As soon as Amberxiu finished speaking, the slaadi rushed toward Catherine.

Amberxiu raised a whirlwind with his hand to roll up the poisonous gas, and then used an earth wall spell to isolate Catherine from these slaadi.

Catherine raised her hand and shot an arrow, piercing the bodies of the two slaadi. The powerful magic power on the arrows exploded the two slaadi, but the smelly liquid splashed and the strong poisonous gas filled the air, making Catherine feel her breath Not smooth.

Two slaads that rushed towards them were knocked away by Amber Xiu's thunder wave, but they rolled over and got up again as if nothing happened.

Amberxiu quickly threw out several freezing rays, creating large ice flowers on the bodies of these giant toads. However, the effect is very average, and the slaad can still move freely even if it is covered in ice.

 Confirming that these monsters were slaadi, Amberxiu quickly reminded Catherine: "Stay back, these things are very dangerous, don't be hurt by them."

Their ejected tongues were as fast as cannonballs, and Amberxiu had to open the mage shield to resist.

The slaadi pounced on him again and again, but were bounced away by Amber Xiu every time. These monsters learned to be smart and stuck out their tongues at Amber Xiu from a long distance away.

 The sharp claws scratched out large sparks on Amberxiu's body, leaving a pile of viscous liquid behind.

 “Let me do it, this kind of monster is difficult to deal with alive.”

By the time Amberxiu appeared again, he had turned into a golem made of mithril!

Having found the target again, the slaad rushed towards Amberxiu. These fat monsters were so powerful that they would stun Amberxiu even if they bumped into his mechanical body.

 For slaadi, living people like Catherine are prey, and lichs like Amberxiu are completely worthless.

This kind of monster is nearly two meters tall when crouching, with fiery red skin all over its body exuding highly toxic pus, and it is staring closely at Catherine.

What’s even more outrageous is that these newly hatched slaadi can inherit the host’s appearance and some abilities.

The slaadi's hunting was blocked, and they immediately turned their target to Amber Xiu.

“This thing is a mage nemesis, but luckily I’m not just a mage.”

 Amber Xiu opened the private space at lightning speed and got in.

These monsters are covered in mucus, which is highly resistant to spells. No wonder the book records that this monster is extremely dangerous.

 But there were too many slaadi, and his body was almost shattered by the tongue flick.

Amberxiu knew that these were the eggs of the slaadi. If he were a real body, he would have been wounded and parasitized by the eggs of the slaad.

It has magic resistance, and can carry out unsolvable parasitism in close combat. No wonder the book says that this kind of monster is extremely dangerous.

 But the metal body is fearless!

Amberxiu's arms shot out magic-breaking blades, and his body passed through these monsters like a whirlwind. The sharp blades sliced ​​open the slaadi's bodies, cutting them into a pile of rotten flesh.

The mucus on the slaadi's body has no defense against the sharp blade, and it is quickly cut into pieces.

 But the poisonous gas kept coming out of the corpses, making the air even more polluted.

Amberxiu killed all the slaadi and spent a long time freezing the corpses to dispel the poisonous gas, and then lifted the earth wall spell.

Catherine pinched her nose and saw the frozen slaadi corpses on the ground, and said strangely: "We didn't see these monsters when we entered this ruins. What is going on? Wait, what are you doing? What's going on, how did you change from a lich to a machine?"

The first time Catherine saw Amber Xiu's mithril body, she was so shocked that she couldn't even care about the disgusting corpses. Amberxiu then remembered that Catherine had never seen her body of steel. Not knowing how to explain this material conversion ability to her, Amber Xiu simply said to her: "It's just alchemy, don't make a fuss."

 “Am I making such a fuss?!” Catherine didn’t know what to say, and she had the urge to twist off Amberxiu’s head.

If it is so easy for a lich to change into a mechanical body, can it also be changed into a living person? If it could be replaced by a living human body, could a lich still be called a lich?

Amberxiu quickly changed the topic: "When we excavated this ruins, we didn't see the corpses of the slaad. That means someone disposed of these corpses. It is very likely that there are other passages leading to the outside."

Amberxiu's words made Catherine temporarily forget about the mechanical body. The Elf Queen summoned a few birds and began to explore the ruins, and the results were soon obtained.

 Catherine pointed to the darkness in the distance and said, "There seems to be a strange place over there."

Amberxiu tried to extend his perception, but he only felt boundless and profound, as if there was endless space over there.

 “It’s strange, why didn’t we find it before.”

Amberxiu strode towards the darkness, not forgetting to summon a few small skeletons from the slaad's corpse to let the skeletons clear the way ahead.

 As a result, after the skeletons walked a certain distance, they lost contact with Amber Xiu.

 “The space here is a little strange.”

Amberxiu walked to the position where the skeleton lost contact, and then lit up a fluorescent light.

 The light illuminated everything in front of her, causing Catherine to make a surprised voice: "This...is this another world?"

The originally abandoned underground city was full of yellow sand and gravel, with only traces of drought wear and tear, but not far ahead, a swamp with lush vegetation appeared in front of us.

Two completely different worlds are strangely spliced ​​together, and the junction is still rippling like water waves. Amberxiu's skeleton entered this world, so the connection with Amberxiu was cut off.

Amberxiu said doubtfully: "It's like two worlds being forcibly merged together. I've never seen this kind of spatial anomaly. And how could we not notice it when we entered this underground ruins?"

 “Look, the swamp is shrinking!”

Catherine keenly discovered something was wrong. Ever since the two appeared near the space connection, the swamp had been shrinking. It seemed that under the influence of the two, the two worlds began to cut off the connection.

 “There’s no time to study, let’s go in, this may be the only way out.”

Amberxiu directly jumped over the boundary between the two worlds and entered the swamp. Although he didn't know what this swamp was about, it was better than being trapped in the underground ruins forever. At least he could see the sky there. Flying skills escape.

Catherine could only follow. The moment the two entered the swamp, the underground ruins behind them completely disappeared, and the two worlds seemed to be completely disconnected.

To Amberxiu's surprise, the slaads he had just killed reappeared in the swamp. Their corpses remained frozen, and the distance from Amberxiu was exactly the same as before. They just changed the ground.

No wonder Amberxiu didn’t see the corpse in the dungeon.

Catherine said strangely: "The disconnection of space will bring back everything from the original world? Then why can we stay in the swamp?"

Amberxiu thought for a moment and explained: "Because we don't belong to any world. Have you forgotten? We are going back to the past. Under normal circumstances, we do not belong here."

"That makes sense. How are we going to find our way back now? We don't even know where this place is? And I feel like this swamp is staring at me fiercely."

 Just as Catherine finished speaking, a lot of fluorescent lights lit up in the swamp.

It's a slaad again, but this time it's a blue-skinned slaad and a dozen red-skinned slaads, and the green-skinned slaad stands on two legs like a human, holding a hand. A strange-looking staff.

Slaadi are divided into four levels: red, blue, green and gray. The gray ones are legendary, while the green ones already have the ability to cast spells.

Amber was ready to take action in advance, but found that another large shadow was approaching them. The swamp was actually filled with slaadi.

Without thinking, Amberxiu took Catherine and flew into the sky.

 As soon as it flew into the sky, Amberxiu saw a scene that surprised him.

The swamp under my feet turned out to be only a very small area, perhaps only a few square kilometers in area. Moreover, this swamp was actually suspended in mid-air.

 In addition to this swamp, there are fragments of various terrains floating everywhere.

 It's like a **** has crushed a complete world into pieces and thrown the pieces randomly into the chaos.

 The trouble is big, this is not the original world at all.
