Chapter 456: Special Mucus

The blood rain not only caused the army to scatter but also greatly affected the adventurers.

Although adventurers had a higher Abnormal State Resistance Ability due to their higher level, they wouldn’t suffer from unbearable itching when touched by the red rain like soldiers did.

However, when the red rain touched their skin, it felt at least itchier than a mosquito bite, and unless some adventurers had a way to wash it off, others had to endure the itching caused by the red rain.

They could hold back the itch, but their fighting state would definitely be worse than before.

Moreover, because the red rain kept falling, if they continued to fight, they would inevitably get more red rain on them… Additionally, the sticky ground caused by the red rain also brought considerable trouble.

Lvzi, Army Lady, and Stealth One had a higher Abnormal State Resistance Ability than these Class A adventurers, so the itching from the red rain should be less for them, but they did not want to experience it.

At first, they used “Magic Shield” to keep the red rain away, but maintaining the Magic Shield was not a solution because it consumed a lot of Magic Value and affected their own fighting.

The solution came from Lvzi.

“Here, apply this! As long as you put this on, you won’t be afraid!”

The green-haired girl called Stealth One, Army Lady, and Jilly over and proudly took out several bottles containing a transparent liquid from her Magic Backpack.

“What is this?”

Army Lady looked at Lvzi with suspicion, her intuition told her that the thing in the bottle was certainly unusual.

Stealth One did not waste any time and directly took a bottle from Lvzi’s hand.

Then, she opened the bottle and took a sniff.

The originally calm face of the gray-haired beauty suddenly changed slightly.

The liquid inside the bottle did not smell bad; instead, it had a faint fragrance. Stealth One immediately understood this unique scent.

It was the saliva of the Worker Ant sisters… no, to be precise, it was the saliva of the Worker Ant that had been enhanced with the skill “Special Mucus.” Its effect was to make the things covered in the mucus sturdy, fireproof, and waterproof, and it provided a certain level of Physical Resistance Ability and elemental magic resistance ability.

Among them, the waterproof effect was perfect for dealing with the red rain.

However…

“Why do you have so many of… these?”

Stealth One looked at Lvzi with a strange expression.

After reaching their level, the defense effect of the Worker Ants’ “Special Mucus” became less noticeable, and Stealth One and Army Lady had never really gotten into the habit of using this Special Mucus.

“Hmph, are you going to use it? If not, just give it back to me. This is Little Liquor’s! Its effect is much better than others. I had to ask her for a long time to get it from her, and I’m a bit reluctant to share it with you.”

“…Little Liquor’s?”

“Yes, it’s better to be prepared.”

“Prepared—what do you plan to use it for… Never mind, I’m not interested in knowing…”

At least it was an ant I knew… Or rather, does knowing the ant make it feel any better to use?

Forget it…

Stealth One pressed her lips together and, in the end, did not return the bottle.

Once she made up her mind, she stopped hesitating and poured the clear, slightly sticky liquid onto her hand before applying it to her skin.

After seeing Stealth One’s reaction, Army Lady also guessed what kind of liquid was in the bottle that Lvzi took out.

With a hint of admiration for Stealth One, Army Lady hesitated and picked up one of the bottles.

However, thinking about who had taken out these bottles—Lvzi—made the blonde girl a bit uneasy, so she asked one more question.

“Are you sure it’s really Little Liquor and not yours?”

“Huh? Well, I guess that’s not impossible—just kidding, I’m joking!”

When she saw Army Lady raise her hand to hit, and sensing Stealth One’s growing anger, Lvzi quickly waved her hands.

“Come on, mine doesn’t have any effect; it might have a corrosive effect. Oh? If it does, maybe it can also work on that red rain. How about… ow! That hurts! Okay, okay, why are you being so fierce? I can’t even make a joke.”

“Now is not the time for jokes.”

After Army Lady pulled her hand away from tapping Lvzi’s head, she also started to apply the liquid from the bottle onto her skin.

“Sister Lvzi, what is really in these bottles?”

At that moment, a confused Jilly could not help but ask.

“It’s the spit of a beautiful girl.”

“Really, sister, please stop joking.”

“Ehehe…”

But Lvzi chuckled a few times, stopped talking, and began to apply the liquid from the bottle on herself.

“Sister Army Lady?”

Jilly looked at the blonde girl.

“Jilly… you shouldn’t think too much, at least this liquid can protect us from the red rain.”

But what Army Lady said made her worry even more.

Could it really be… it shouldn’t be…

“Then I will too…”

Just seeing the three girls apply the liquid, Jilly followed and spread it on herself.

“Are the rest of these bottles also Little Liquor’s?”

When Army Lady saw Lvzi took out more than four bottles of Special Mucus, she couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course not, Little Liquor is usually busy, where would she have so much time to help me? The other bottles are from Gong One and Gong Two.”

“…What about this small bottle?”

“Small bottle?”

Lvzi was taken aback and looked at the bottle she had taken out; among them, she indeed found a bottle that was about the size of a typical potion bottle.

“Oh, this is from Mom—”

She was only halfway through her sentence when the green-haired girl stopped, realizing she had let something slip. Not caring about anything else, she quickly reached for the small bottle that only had a little bit of clear liquid inside.

However, she was quick, and the other two girls reacted quickly as well.

The three of them almost acted at the same time, and in the end, the small bottle landed in the hands of Stealth One, who was the fastest.

After getting it, Stealth One, usually the most quiet and expressionless, couldn’t help but show a hint of joy on her face.

Although she wasn’t sure what kind of liquid it was, as long as it was Mom’s thing…

Before she could think any longer, Stealth One quickly put the bottle into her Magic Backpack as soon as she had it.

“Ah! The ungrateful Stealth One, give it back to me!”

“I’ll return it to you later.”

I never expected you would have a day like this!

Stealth One, who often gets teased by Lvzi like Army Lady, felt a rush of excitement for getting the “sacred object” and secretly enjoyed seeing Lvzi jumping around in a huff.

Lvzi hadn’t been back to Granville Monster Forest for a long time, and neither had Army Lady; during all this time, they both missed Lin Yu very much.

“Hmph, if you won’t give it to me, then fine! I will just…”
