Chapter: 259

As opposed to last time he was here, he no longer looked like a homeless man hunting rats for dinner, rauther he had an air of respect around him. He seemed more like a military commander now – or at the very least, an officer.

Jay pointed into the swamp.

“Go.”

Instantly, the skeletons jumped off the log, plunging waist-deep into the swamp water before they found some solid ground to walk on and could sprint at full speed.

With zero hesitation, they then shot off into the murky land, creating trails in the tall swamp grass as they snapped the reeds from their sheer speed. The mud didn’t slow them down one bit.

“Now, let’s see…”

Jay began to look for a place to jump down – somewhere where he could land that wasn’t water or mud. Cautiously, he began walking along the giant log.

It wasn’t long before the experience notifications started, causing Jay to smile.

The soap rats were level one, so the skeletons were all hunting individually. This allowed them to kill a greater number of them at once.

Jay finally found a way down, he jumped down, and thankfully the ground was solid.

“Awesome. This is going much more smoothly than last time..”

Jay looked around for a moment, wondering what he would do while waiting.

“I guess I’ll read my book over a few times, maybe I can unlock the next page if I understand it.”

After he began reading, it wasn’t long before Blue returned – dropping a soap rat tooth before Jay then promptly went off to hunt again.

“Nice work Blue” thought Jay, pocketing the tooth and going back to his book – though he soon got tired.

Jay began to rummage through his inventory, finding something that might occupy his time.

“Hmm, I completely forgot about this… I guess saving Anya distracted me.”

Jay brought out a small green crystal with a glowing core from his inventory.

[Minor Crystal – Green] (Charged)

[Alchemy ingredient Tier 1]

[Spell channel Tier 1]

[Discharge] (1 charge) – 5 Electrical damage. 5% chance to stun for 2 seconds.

“I completely forgot about this… I was going to use it in an emergency, but now, 5 damage seems like it won’t really help in a dangerous situation. The enemies I’m up against have too much health.”

Jay checked its other uses.
