Mario scratched his head and asked Claire in a low voice: "It turns out that Musk is a warlock, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Claire smiled bitterly and said nothing.
In fact, it was only today that she learned that Musk could cast spells and also use the "whip of thorns" that she was best at. This was quite a coincidence.
Gao Fei saw the confusion in Claire and Mario's eyes, smiled, and continued searching deeper into the culvert without explaining.
About 20 minutes after walking out, a familiar squeaking sound came from the front again, and two giant rats appeared in Gao Fei's field of vision one after another.
If you only look at the data on paper, it would be difficult for a level 2 imitator to deal with the siege of two giant rats.
But Gao Fei was not nervous.
He is confident that he can fight one against two because "soft power" such as experience and skills cannot be expressed through paper data.
He was not in a hurry, but Claire behind him was anxious. For fear that he would be attacked by two giant rats, he couldn't help but wave his hand and release a "flash spell", which temporarily blinded the giant rats at the front, causing them to run around in fear.
, not caring about attacking Gao Fei.
Mario put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned his face to the side, pretending not to see Claire helping Goofy out.
Gao Fei turned around and cast a grateful glance at Sister Claire, then hugged the grass and shot the rabbit, using the "Flash Technique" for nothing.
He is now a level 2 imitator, equipped with the "Warlock Mask". In addition to the "Whip of Thorns", he can also imitate a level 0 magic, copying Claire's "Flash" into his spell list.
Next, Gao Fei alternately used "Flash Technique" and "Whip of Thorns" to control one giant rat and whip the other giant rat at the same time.
The whipped giant rat screamed in pain and repeatedly tried to rush to Gao Fei to exact revenge.
However, Gao Fei never let it get what it wanted. While whipping it, he also dragged it back 10 feet so that it could not get close to him.
This set of "continuous control and attack" tactics is easy for Gao Fei to use at his fingertips.
Claire and Mario, who were watching the battle on the sidelines, couldn't help but nod their heads, secretly cheering for this little brother.
However, the situation on the battlefield soon changed.
The giant rat whose eyes were repeatedly ravaged by Gao Fei's "Flash Technique" finally experienced a moment of luck. It passed the "Will Saving Throw" and resisted the third wave of "Flash Technique" that hit itself, staring at the red and swollen eyes.
His eyes, full of anger, rushed straight towards Gao Fei!
When Claire and Mario saw this scene, their expressions changed and they hesitated to help Goofy out.
At this moment, Gao Fei turned around and waved to them, indicating that there was no need to worry, and his face remained as calm as ever.
Seeing that the giant rat was approaching, Gao Fei calmly dodged the bite, then activated the bonus feat "Dexterous Actions" he had learned not long ago, executed the "Retreat" command, and avoided the giant rat's opportunity to attack, drifting far away from it.
escape.
The giant rat screamed and became furious, and in the next round of action, he used all his strength to chase Gao Fei.
Gao Fei continued to activate the "dexterous action" and executed the "sprint" command. His movement speed doubled in this round, and he walked like wind, leaving the giant rat far behind in the blink of an eye.
When the two sides were at a safe distance, Gao Fei stopped to cast a spell, swung the "Whip of Thorns" to whip the chasing giant rat, pulled it back 10 feet, and added a "Flash Technique".
This time, the giant rat's good luck came to an end. His vision went dark and he was temporarily blind.
Gao Fei remained expressionless as he continued to whip and beat the giant rat to death.
There was also a giant rat that had been whipped twice before and was already dying.
Gao Fei chased after him, and finally added a whip, harvesting the giant rat's remaining 1 HP.
Having hunted three giant rats in total, Gao Fei has completed the test set by Umberto, but has not yet received the prompt to reach the plot milestone. He knows in his heart that there are still "surprises" waiting for him on this trip to the underground ditch.
.
Goofy cuts off the tails of two giant rats and returns the dagger to Mario Ricardo.
"Brother Musk, now I finally believe that you are indeed capable of defeating Mike and Billy!" Mario hugged Goofy's shoulders forcefully, "Welcome to join our big family!"
Claire was also deeply pleased with Gao Fei's outstanding performance, and said to him with a smile: "Let's go back and report to Brother Umberto. We have to have a good drink tonight to celebrate the addition of a young talent to 'Street Angel'!"
"
"Sister Claire, you have to perform on stage tonight. If you come back to the troupe drunk, the boss will be so angry that your head is smoking!" Gao Fei reminded.
"Damn it, I forgot all about this!" Claire said angrily.
"Claire, given your ability, you can't make a living anywhere, so why do you have to stay in the circus?" Mario asked.
Gao Fei also had the same question, so he looked at Claire, expecting her to give a reasonable explanation.
"I am an orphan like Musk. I grew up in a circus. If it weren't for the care of my boss, I would have either starved to death on the streets or become a street girl selling my body. Where would I be today?"
Claire sighed, her words revealing true feelings.
"In this world, the two people I am most grateful for are Brother Umberto and Mr. Puzo. I regard them as my relatives. If necessary, I am willing to sacrifice everything for them, including my own life."
Goofy and Mario looked at each other and changed the topic to a lighter topic in a tacit understanding.
Goofy planned to return the same way, but Mario said there was a shortcut nearby and led the way.
After turning a fork in the road, Gao Fei discovered that there were green algae floating in the sewage channels on both sides of the culvert, and the smell became more and more unpleasant!
Continuing to walk forward for a while, there was the sound of mud slapping in the darkness, and there were vaguely long and thick shadows shaking.
Mario, who was leading the way, stopped and signaled Goofy and Claire to be on guard.
Claire touched the bag on her waist and took out a white sphere as big as a fist. It seemed to be some kind of alchemy tool, with a wax shell covering the surface.
She crushed the wax shell into pieces and threw it away.
The spherical object fell to the ground, splitting in half and scattering brown powder.
When the alchemical substance comes into contact with the air, it immediately burns and forms a bonfire.
Illuminated by the flames, Gao Fei saw two huge green worms, one of which was crawling in the mud of the ditch, while the other was clinging to the smooth side wall of the culvert.
These two strange insects are 3 meters long from head to tail, with a pair of slightly trembling tentacles on their heads and a pair of strong jaws like vices.
Around the lower jaw of the strange insect, eight slender and slimy tentacles extend, each of which is two or three feet long. The ends of the enlarged tentacles are pod-shaped, and the inward curling side is covered with dense barbs, which looks like a huge green
A weird piece of worms and cephalopods, exuding a disgusting stench!
