Chapter 194 Void Brood Worm
The new wild monsters are three ugly purple bugs that occupy the position of the dragon pit.
Rhodes originally thought that the one who should appear in that position was the Canyon Pioneer, but today he finally confirmed that it was a wild monster he didn't recognize.
He suspected that the game might have been secretly updated while he was away.
But looking at their colors, you can tell that these guys may have something to do with "void".
Rhodes just hoped that they, like other wild monsters, would not involve too many mysterious settings in the background.
So far, all the wild monsters have obeyed Rhodes' advice and have never caused any trouble. Logically speaking, there should be no problems this time.
However, out of caution, Rhodes still planned to go to the suburbs for his first summons.
In the woods on the outskirts of Magnolia, Makarov took Rhodes to find a fairly spacious place.
"It's been so long, thank you for being so careful." Makarov looked at the cage in Rhode's hand, "What does that mean?"
Rhodes said: "I originally wanted a white mouse, but that's right. I'll use a white rabbit instead. I'll ask them to help me test whether it's dangerous or not."
"You really...forget it, let's get started."
"Okay... How about you prepare a defensive magic first?" Rhodes still hopes to prepare on the premise that the wild monster will lose control.
Makarov raised his hand, and a fist-sized golden ball of light appeared on his index finger, and then two golden magic arrays were erected in front of the two of them like shields: "Is this so?"
"Let's get something stronger, like a fairy ball or something."
Makarov asked in surprise: "How do you know about the Fairy Ball?"
"I saw it accidentally in the library. I feel that books with very old covers are treasures." Rhodes said, "But it's really okay to just leave a book like this in the library and read it casually when it involves super magic.
?”
"Knowledge is passed down in the form of books, and it is intended to be learned by others. If it is hidden, the hard work of the predecessors will be in vain."
Makarov smiled and said, "As long as you can do it, you can learn all the magic in the library. So...have you learned the Fairy Ball?"
"No, it's too complicated. Just reading a few pages makes me dizzy." Rhodes was a little unhappy. That thing looked more difficult than high math.
It’s the most powerful defensive super magic, and it’s so painful to see that you can’t learn it.
"That's right. Six months ago, your magic foundation was zero, so it was impossible to learn the Fairy Ball." Makarov felt that it was normal for him not to be able to learn it.
Unless Rhodes is 'indoctrinated' again using ancient documents, no matter how diligent he is, it will still take him a year or two to reach the level of knowledge he deserves.
Rhodes said helplessly: "So it's better for you to do it. Just use a fairy ball to ensure the safety of the two of us."
Makarov said angrily: "You also know that it is super magic, even I can't use it casually!"
However, unable to withstand Rhode's persuasion, Makarov still showed him a trick: "The greatest defensive magic array - Three Pillars of God!"
The golden magic circle unfolded from the feet of the president, and three towering stone pillars rose from the ground, standing at the edge of the magic circle.
"Wow, wow! This is domineering enough!" Rhodes was finally satisfied, walked to the edge of the magic circle, held the pendant, and recited the original version of the chant he used when he didn't know the name of the summoned beast.
Three strange purple insects appeared outside the defensive magic circle. Each insect was as tall as a person, with a single horn on its head, a mouth full of fangs, eyes half-open and half-closed, and purple-red eggs on its back.
If you look carefully, there seem to be small shadows in those eggs.
Let Rod give a fair evaluation. This bug is a bit ugly and looks a bit scary.
The ugliest among the previous wild monsters was the Demon Swamp Frog, but it was obviously not the same route as them.
Makarov rarely understood Rhodes's mood.
No wonder they had to go to great lengths to persuade him to prepare a defensive magic circle. The summoned beast this time always seemed to have an evil aura. "Back off, stop, shake your head, open your mouth, shut up..."
Rhodes tested some simple commands, and there was no difference from before.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the cage and released a little white rabbit: "Catch it, but don't bite it to death."
The little white rabbit had never seen such a terrifying monster before, and it fell to the ground and ran away.
The three insects chased after them for a few steps, and the purple-red eggs on their backs suddenly exploded.
Twelve blue larvae the size of basketballs jumped out of the eggs. When they stood upright, they were taller than a human knee.
They caught up with the rabbits in groups, swarming up, biting their ears, biting their legs, and those who couldn't squeeze in were spinning around in circles.
When I looked at the three female worms again, the broken eggs on the back slowly recovered, and it took about ten seconds to recover exactly as before.
The mother worms roared softly, and the larvae pushed the rabbit back. The larvae that had not bitten the rabbit were still wandering around, as if they wanted to squeeze away their compatriots.
It seems that the mother worm has a certain ability to act independently like other wild monsters and can command normally, but the larvae have limited IQ.
Rhodes squatted at the edge of the magic circle and watched for a while, making sure that the poor little rabbit had no signs of infection or mutation, and then got close to the female insect.
"They are called Void Brood Insects. Their attack power is average, their defense power is mediocre, their speed is average, and their magic power consumption... feels similar to that of Red and Blue."
Rhodes introduced the basic information he had just obtained about the Void Brood to the president.
Makarov asked: "Just ordinary summoned beasts? Where are those little bugs?"
"The little bugs are called void worms. The void brood worms seem to be able to produce these void worms continuously. Each void brood worm can produce four void worms every 12 seconds."
"Each one has 4 lines every 12 seconds. Three of them means 12 lines every 12 seconds, 60 per minute. If it goes on 24 hours a day, it can produce... more than 80,000 pieces per day?"
Makarov was shocked by this number. Wouldn't it be possible for more than 80,000 worms taller than a Harpy to cover this forest?
This, ideally, one person is an army?
Although the combat effectiveness of these insects does not seem to be strong individually, the number is scary enough. Even if it is 80,000 rabbits, it will take some effort to fight, not to mention they can still bite people.
"They seem to have some special abilities..." Rhode pointed at the stone pillars built by the president, "Get them done."
The eggs behind the void brood worms exploded again, and 12 more void worms were produced. 24 worms jumped towards the stone pillars, randomly finding a place to bite.
For a moment, all I could hear was the rustling sound of gnawing.
The three Void Brood Insects did not attack directly, but stood two meters away and spit out dark purple magic bullets the size of fists.
Every magic bullet hitting the stone pillar can corrode a hole.
After 12 seconds passed, the eggs on the backs of the nest worms exploded again, and 12 more worms climbed up the stone pillars and began to gnaw away.
Makarov watched helplessly as his three pillars of magic were chewed up and riddled with holes, and finally collapsed and shattered with a rumble... This was wrong!
It’s not that defensive magic cannot be broken, but it shouldn’t be broken like this!
Makarov asked: "The specialty you mentioned is... they are good at breaking defensive magic, and can even eat magic arrays?"
Rhodes said sarcastically: "He is good at demolishing buildings, especially some special buildings."
"..." Makarov pondered for a moment and said decisively, "They are absolutely not allowed to be summoned in the guild!"
Lucy is really awesome, she can master super magic like Fairy Ball at a glance
Maybe this is the difference between a person who has received orthodox magic education and is a top student, and a magician like Rhodes who has become a monk halfway.
