"What the hell is that?" Lina limped to Vivian's side, picked up Vivian's feet, and repeatedly swept Vivian's wound with the white light shrouded on her right hand, while looking at the rocky surface not far away with fear. She still clearly remembered that what she discovered before she was kicked away, the hard rock surface became a little soft.

"I've never seen it." Elad had heard the surviving Night Owl and the Fantasy Fox tell the story, and said in shock: "I haven't heard of this kind of creature."

Although Lina was busy treating Vivian, Vivian looked indifferent. When Ellard answered, Vivian stared at Elad with a strange look for a few seconds before silently retracting her gaze.

"This is a mud monster." Panis stood on the edge of the mossy rock surface with a very serious expression, and whispered, "One of the most terrifying killers in the wild, the enemy of all professions except the demigod."

"Is this thing the legendary mud monster?" Lina screamed in surprise: "That mysterious creature whose most of the content in the Warcraft Book is unknown?"

"It's them." Panis picked up a wooden stick from the side and poked the rock surface, but the rock that had just taken away a life has returned to its original normal appearance, and there is no abnormality at all.

"What's the matter?" Catherine also came over and leaked space for the mercenaries to comfort the disabled gophers and mourn the dead shadow wolf: "What are their characteristics? Why did they suddenly become like this?"

"The mud monster is a very terrible monster. We are actually lucky. We encounter small mud monsters. If we encounter large mud monsters, we probably won't be able to escape." Panis sighed and said, "The mud monsters are like a ball of mud, without a fixed form. They often choose to live on the ground of rocks. First, they corrode the rocks, corrode the rocks into a deep pit, fill them with their amorphous body, and then quickly harden the upper body surface and change it to the same color as the environment. From the outside, it looks like a rock with some moss."

"Then they use this disguise to wait for the prey to come to the door?" Catherine relied on the metal's grey armor to resist corrosion and stepped heavily at the silt monster, and found that it felt exactly the same as when she stepped on the rock: "Then they secreted corrosion fluid after the prey came to the door? It always felt that it was not that simple."

"It's not that simple," said Panis. "First of all, they do not secrete corrosive liquids, but high-intensity corrosive gases tightly bound to the surface of the body. After they decide to attack prey, they will emit such gas on the surface. When the gas corrodes*, they will also have anesthetic effects. Many people don't know why they die until they die. This gas is only a few millimeters tall, and it will never escape easily around the surface of the sludge monster. It can quickly corrode most objects, but the time of corrosion is different. Secondly, they do not attack prey at will. Single prey cannot satisfy their nutrient replenishment, so generally, they will secrete gas and attack when a large number of creatures pass above them."

"Sincene monster." Lina patted Vivian's soles of her feet, and asked her to change her backpack to a new pair of shoes before she interrupted and said, "I just felt that their surfaces had become soft."

"Yes." Panis nodded and said, "After launching an attack, once a prey falls, the position where the prey falls will quickly become soft, swallowing the prey into the body and slowly corroding and digesting it, absorbing the corpse liquid formed after corrosion as nutrients. The mimicry ability of this monster is too strong, and it is impossible to discover it before launching an attack. Even if an attack is launched, it will be difficult for the person under attack to detect it. Fortunately, the number is relatively small, otherwise it may cause great casualties."

"Then how did you find out?" Lina asked curiously: "If you hadn't called out, I'm afraid everyone except for the elder sister and Dora who could support the past with the metal armor."

"Height." Panis said: "My feeling is a little sharper than that of ordinary people. I took a few steps and felt that my height was about a millimeter lower, so I felt something was wrong. I raised my feet and looked at the soles of my shoes, and then I realized it."

"Haha, hehe, one millimeter." Lina rolled her eyes and laughed dryly, but quickly calmed her smile and looked at the mercenaries not far away with regret: "What a pity, it's still one step late."

"It would be great if I could find out in advance." Catherine sighed and shook her head, "It's because of lack of experience. It seems that we have been a little too complacent recently and have not experienced enough. By the way, Panis, you mentioned just now that if we encounter a large mud monster, we can't escape? Why? After we leave its attack range, can it still catch up?"

"Well, I won't catch up." Panis smiled bitterly: "Let's say that, the largest silt monster that has ever appeared in the legend covers a circular range of about 200 meters in radius. They often wait until the prey passes halfway before they start hunting. Except for the mage who can use the water surface floating technique to float up to more than ten centimeters to avoid it, how many of the rest can run 200 meters without touching the ground within a few seconds?"

"I understand." Catherine stared at the monsters pretending to be rocks under her feet: "Is there a way to kill them?"

"Long-term scorching or scorching flames can weaken them," said Panis. "But if you want to kill them, you have to burn all parts of their bodies. As long as you leave a small part, they can be regenerated. Of course, regeneration will cause serious losses to their reminders and abilities. But I advise you not to do so. When scorching or burning, it will emit a very strong corrosive gas. Don't think about it unless you can control the flames at a long distance for a long time away from dozens of meters."

"Vivian, can it work?" After receiving Vivian's affirmative answer, Catherine gritted her teeth to Panis: "Never underestimate a woman's revenge, we must make it pay the price."

Panis smiled bitterly and shrugged, slowly walked to the position of the mercenaries who were bidding farewell to Shadow Wolf, and waved to the three girls: "Just come here, safe distance."

"Wait for death, damn guy." Catherine and Lina helped Vivian over, one left and one right. Vivian's voice was filled with cold winter: "Pennis, please help identify the specific range of the mud monster."

Panis popped up a few small stones and landed on the rock surface: "These are probably the scope. In the middle, it should be the center of the mud monster. But it doesn't matter if the scope is not covered. The mud monster has no mimetic function inside and cannot change the protective color at will, so it is easy to identify. Just remember that the green objects in the pit will be burned directly."

"Vivian snorted coldly, secretly clamped a crystal with his left hand, and bounced continuously with his five fingers in his right hand. A large number of orange-red crystal bottles were flying in the sky like puppets. One bottle after another was poured on the surface of the rock. Liquid with strong fire-attribute energy was directly sprinkled on the ground into a standard hexagram. The range covered by hexagrams far exceeded the range of Panis logo and also exceeded the range where "moss" appeared. The empty crystal bottle flew back automatically, which was indescribable throughout the whole process.

"Is this... magic trick?" Panis said in surprise: "You can actually do this ancient magic?"

Magic trick is a kind of magic that has been passed down for a long time, but it is not very profound. This kind of magic first originated from folk artists, and its function is to control puppet shows to perform puppet shows. After a period of time, a research mage became interested in this magic and conducted in-depth research, turning the earliest puppet control technique into magic tricks. The function also changed from manipulating puppet performances to being able to control different objects at the same time through a large number of magic silk threads. Of course, this is just a surface function. The real function of this magic is actually to directly manipulate battles and use puppets or even some corpses to fight for themselves.

Unfortunately, although the idea is beautiful, the actual situation disappoints the developer. If you want the puppet or corpse to move freely, the magic silk thread needed is much more than that of a normal mage who can handle puppets and perform puppet shows. It is not something that a normal mage can afford. At the same time, it is also a very harsh test of mental strength and magic reserves. It can even be said that if a mage can control a combat puppet normally, then he can use the same mental and magic power consumed to destroy ten such puppets at the same time. Therefore, this magic is classified as one of the most useless magic, and only some experimental mages are still using such magic to increase the speed of their experiments. When spells such as the hands of the plural mages were developed, even if the experimental mages no longer use primitive magic tricks, this primitive magic was completely swept into the depths of history and no one cares about it.

It is precisely for this reason that when Pannis saw Vivian using magic tricks, he was so surprised. Vivian was also stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Pannis could actually understand this technique, but he could only smile perfunctorily at Pannis, constantly drawing in the air with his right hand, muttering something in his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Dora only noticed the adventurers' behavior after saying goodbye to her deceased companions.

"Revenge." Vivian ended his last chanting and snapped his fingers. A large amount of magic power immediately burst out from Vivian, and rushed along the thick lines drawn with the same liquid on the ground to the magic array dozens of meters away. In an instant, even though it was dozens of meters apart, everyone felt the heat emitted by the magic array.

The heat is very high. From a distance, even the air is a little distorted, but no flame appears. Even the dead leaves falling on the rocky surface show no signs of burning. Instead, they become dry and charred and eventually turn into ashes, as if the concept of burning does not exist in that area at all.
