"Mario! You are really a little genius who leads the way. You are trying to trick us, right?" Claire said angrily.
"Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't expect that this shortcut would be occupied by scavengers." Mario scratched his head in embarrassment, "How about we change the situation before those two disgusting scavengers are disturbed?
How about taking one way? Anyway, there are other shortcuts to go back to the tavern..."
"Come on! I don't want to hear the word 'shortcut' from your mouth again!" Claire angrily whipped out her long whip, "As for these two big bugs, since we have encountered them, let's get rid of them easily.
Bar!"
"Claire, don't be impulsive!" Mario put away his smile, "Scavengers are not as easy to deal with as giant rats, especially those nasty tentacles on their bodies. If they get entangled, they may be poisoned and paralyzed. Let's not
…”
"What, are you scared?" Claire's eyes were provocative.
"You're kidding! Of course I'm not afraid of mere scavengers, but brother Musk is here too, and we have to prioritize his safety."
"Brother Mario, don't worry about me." Gao Fei took over the words, "You and Sister Claire work together to deal with one scavenger. I will try to hold off the remaining one. After you take care of the first one, come and help me.
It’s not too late either.”
"Musk, what nonsense are you talking about!" Claire was also anxious now, "The scavenger is not a giant rat. As long as you are touched by that monster, you will be dead. Mario and I can't save you.
you!"
"I'm not arrogant enough to think that I have the ability to single out a scavenger." Gao Fei smiled and stroked Simba's thick mane, "Simba will help me deal with the scavenger, no problem."
Claire hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Gao Fei's frank and confident eyes, and reluctantly nodded.
"Brother Musk, be more careful!"
After Mario repeatedly warned Gao Fei, he showed two sharp daggers and joined forces with Claire to attack the carrion insect lying on the roadside.
Gao Fei turned around and looked at the scavenger clinging to the wall, calculated the distance, then waved his "Whip of Thorns" and pulled the fat, evil-looking worm off the wall, and dropped it to the ground with a plop.
, juice splashed everywhere.
The biggest advantage of "Whip of Thorns" is that as long as it hits the target, it can be dragged without any need to make a strength test. It can definitely be dragged at least 10 feet in the specified direction!
Gao Fei has just used the astrolabe to detect scavengers.
The challenge level of this monster is as high as level 3, so it’s no wonder that Claire and Mario are facing a formidable enemy.
Scavengers look like gigantic worms, but they are actually "abnormal" creatures. They are born with strong abilities and have 63 HP points, which is equivalent to 7 giant rats. Their attributes are: Strength 14, Agility
If you only look at attributes, scavengers don't seem difficult to deal with. However, this giant insect also has level 6 natural armor and a variety of special abilities, such as "spider walking", "alertness", "robustness", and "sensitive smell".
"Multiple Attacks" and the most terrifying "Paralyzing Tentacles".
The beard-like tentacles on the chin of scavengers can secrete potent venom.
If a creature entangled in the tentacles fails a DC 15 Fortitude save, it will be paralyzed and can only watch as the scavengers rush to bite it.
With Goofy's current level and physical attributes, if he is entangled by a carrion insect, the probability of resisting paralysis is less than 50%, which means that he must avoid being approached by this strange insect.
After tearing the scavenger off the wall, Gao Fei fired a "Flash Technique", successfully breaking through the scavenger's will resistance and temporarily blinding it.
However, this strange insect lives in the sewer all year round, and its eyesight has been severely degraded. It mainly relies on its keen sense of smell to hunt its prey. Being blind has little effect on it, and it still sniffs and crawls towards high altitudes.
Goofy activates "Dexterous Actions", retreats behind Simba, and throws out the "Whip of Thorns" with his hand.
Unfortunately, the carrion's skin was too thick and the whip could not penetrate its defense.
Gao Fei frowned, and before the scavengers approached, he used "Whip of Thorns" again.
This time I was lucky and successfully hit the scavenger.
A mere 3 points of whipping damage is just like an itch for a scavenger with rough skin and thick flesh.
Gao Fei didn't expect to use his whip to grind the strange insect to death. It didn't matter how much damage it caused. The essence of this move was to pull and drag the carrion insect to the lion Simba.
Goofy has established a friendly relationship with Simba. If Claire does not object, he can ask Simba to help him fight monsters.
The lion roared angrily, raised its claws and slapped the carrion insect. Its sharp claws scratched the monster insect's bloated skin, and light green blood immediately poured out.
With Simba holding the carrion bugs in front, it will be much easier for Gao Fei.
Choosing a suitable angle, he swung the "Whip of Thorns", wrapped the carrion's butt, and pulled it away from Simba.
The carrion insect was within Simba's attack range and was forcibly dragged and moved, inevitably exposing its flaws. Simba immediately launched an attack of opportunity, biting the monster's neck and tearing off a large piece of bloody flesh.
The scavengers twisted and rolled in pain, and the body fluids sprayed out made the ground slippery.
The lion pounced on it, clawing and biting it, and the scavenger's health was only half.
Gao Fei continued to use the "pull tactic", whipping the scavenger away from Simba, forcing an "attack of opportunity", which not only allowed Simba to fight more, but also helped the lion open up space for a run-up.
Charge and activate the feline's racial special ability "Pounce".
If the fight continues like this, if nothing happens, in at most two rounds, Goofy and Simba will be able to join forces to kill the scavengers.
However, in this game world, there are no foolproof tactics. Luck on the battlefield is like dice, always changing and unpredictable.
Just when Goofy thought everything was under control, Simba was unexpectedly entangled in the tentacles of a carrion-eating insect.
With the physique of a male lion, it stands to reason that it would not be difficult to pass a Fortitude save to overcome the poison secreted by the tentacles.
However, luck played a joke on Gao Fei. Simba failed to pass the exemption and was poisoned and paralyzed on the spot, unable to move!
Worri!
Seeing this, Gao Fei quickly threw out his "Whip of Thorns" to pull the scavenger away from Simba.
However, the eight tentacles of the carrion worm tightly wrapped around Simba, like conjoined twins. The "Whip of Thorns" could not separate them, and could only drag the carrion worm and Simba to slide together.
It's not okay to keep fighting like this!
Gao Fei frowned.
The lethality of the "Whip of Thorns" was still too low. Before he could use the whip to polish off the carrion's remaining HP, Simba, who was paralyzed, would inevitably be seriously injured even if he was not bitten to death by the carrion.
