Chapter 53: Ghost Strike

In Gao Fei's team, there is another member with anti-invisibility ability, which is Jiang Feng's monk.

Yang Yanzong's special skill "Celestial Vision" can capture the slightest air flow fluctuations in the surrounding environment, and then determine the location of invisible creatures.

However, the capture radius of "clairvoyance" is only 60 feet, and the reconnaissance range is still not as good as the real "seeing through invisibility".

Jiang Feng simply closed his eyes, eliminated the interference of light and shadow, and listened carefully to the disturbance of the surrounding airflow. He suddenly turned around and fired a "Yangyan Palm". His true energy was like golden waves, illuminating the dim corridor brightly.

Under the impact of the golden palm power, three ghost fires loomed.

The lethality of Sun Flame Palm is as high as 10d6, and it can cause double damage to undead creatures. Under normal circumstances, with the pitiful 18 HP points of the will-o'-the-wisp, even if it passes the reflex save, it will still be sent away by Jiang Feng's palm.

However, the reality was different from her expectation.

Of the three will-o'-the-wisps enveloped by the palm's power, only one was annihilated on the spot, while the other two were not harmed at all!

"The incorporeal characteristics of will-o'-the-wisps are very abnormal. Not only are they immune to attacks from non-magical weapons, but even supernatural martial arts such as magic and Sun Flame Palm have a 50% forced evasion rate when hit on them. Only those with force fields and positive energy attributes

Attacks can be immune to the interference of incorporeal characteristics."

Gao Fei reminded his companions in the Astrolabe team channel, and then he started berserk, transformed into a red dragon form, and directed a large mouthful of flaming dragon breath towards the area where the will-o'-the-wisps flickered.

His luck was slightly better than Jiang Feng's. Two will-o'-the-wisps were sprayed by the dragon's breath. One of them triggered the incorporeal avoidance and disappeared without a trace, while the other was annihilated in the flames.

Although will-o'-the-wisps have the word "fire" in their name, they actually do not have fire resistance. This is why Goofy chose to use dragon's breath to deal with them.

There were two invisible will-o’-the-wisps left in the corridor. Seconds after the disappearance spell, they suddenly appeared behind Eve and Muning, and slammed into them, bursting out with crackling electric sparks.

The "anti-electricity barrier" on Eve completely absorbed the electric shock damage of the will-o'-the-wisp, causing a false alarm.

Muning's luck was a bit worse.

The moment the will-o'-the-wisp launched its surprise attack, it triggered a critical strike, directly penetrating the "anti-electricity barrier". The electric shock caused the unlucky flash dog's hair to stand on end, like a giant hedgehog.

Seeing her animal companion being severely injured, Eve hurriedly cast the third-level natural magic spell "Melt into Stone" and rushed up to push Muning.

The druid girl and her flash dog crashed into the corridor wall together. Under the influence of magic, both master and servant merged into the stone wall to avoid the follow-up attack of the will-o'-the-wisp.

The will-o'-the-wisp's intelligence attribute is only 3 points, which is not considered smart. Unexpectedly, the prey disappeared behind the stone wall and circled in front of the stone wall. It seemed that he was hesitating whether to go through the wall and chase the prey.

Incorporeal creatures can penetrate solid materials such as rocks, but they cannot stay inside the stone wall for a long time like Eve. If they do not break away from the wall by the end of this round of action, they will be forcibly ejected and suffer heavy injuries.

Because of this, for the will-o'-the-wisp, drilling into the stone wall to chase down the enemy is a very risky behavior and requires careful decision-making.

However, some people are not going to give them time to think about it slowly.

Before the two will-o'-the-wisps could make up their minds, a bright sword light suddenly flashed from behind!

Qitian, who had been invisible all this time, quietly emerged from behind the will-o'-the-wisp, wielding a dagger and a dagger, firing his bow left and right, and striking with swords!

Whoosh!

The dagger that stabbed at the first will-o'-the-wisp triggered the incorporeal evasion and missed.

Qi Tian's expression remained unchanged, blood seemed to shine in the depths of his pupils, and he continued to stab with the dagger in his left hand. This time, he was lucky, and successfully hit the will-o'-the-wisp, automatically taking 4d6 sneak attack damage and killing it instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Tian launched "Hunting Slash", and the blood-red brilliance in his eyes became more and more intense. The dagger in his right hand was like a poisonous snake, stabbing the remaining will-o'-the-wisp like lightning, hitting it again and triggering the sneak attack special effect, killing it cleanly and instantly.

!

"call……"

The half-elf thief slowly exhaled a breath and turned to face his companions. His scarlet eyes were so murderous that no one dared to look directly into them, but there was still a cynical smile on his lips.

Gao Fei took a deep look at Qi Tian, ​​and it was not difficult to see that this kid had activated the unique skill of the thief profession, "Ghost Strike", otherwise it would be impossible to have a sneak attack effect on incorporeal undead creatures like the will-o'-the-wisp.

The pupils turned scarlet, and the murderous intent was revealed, just like Shura coming to the world - this is the sign of the "ghost attack" that distorts the laws of nature.

The spirits of the four defeated will-o'-the-wisps fled back to the brazier, and it will take some time before they can be reborn.

During this period, the flame ignited in the basin returned to its normal orange-red color, and the concentration of negative energy in the corridor also decreased.

Qi Tian looked at his status bar and found that the "Eclipse Curse" had disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to open the door.

To pry open the corridor door, you need to pass a DC 15 "Sleight of Hand" check.

This was not difficult for Qi Tian, ​​and with the cooperation of thieves' tools, he successfully pried open the door.

Opposite the corridor is a winding tomb passage, which has to pass through at least seven forks on the way, making it so complicated that it makes one's head bald.

Fortunately, Goofy had a detailed map of the tomb passages in his hand. Following the route marked by Joseph Cooper, everyone explored the depths of the tomb until late in the game time, when they finally arrived at the door of King Olaf's palace.

.

Qi Tian stepped forward to unlock the door and carefully blocked the poisonous needle trap hidden in the cracks of the door. After spending five minutes, he finally successfully opened the palace door.

Gao Fei stepped forward and pushed open the two heavy stone doors with both arms. The creaking sound of the door shafts as they rotated echoed in the dark tomb, making people jump with fear!

As usual, Qi Tian went in first to explore the way, and after confirming that there was no danger in the tomb, he used the astrolabe to send a message to his companions to follow up.

Goofy used the remote-controlled "Floating Ball" to fly into the tomb and illuminate it, discovering that it was a spacious octagonal hall.

A large mural is carved on the smooth wall. The theme is a tall and mighty man with a beard, holding a shining golden battle ax, fighting a frost giant and a white dragon.

"Brother Basaka, the man on the mural looks just like you!" Eve whispered while looking at the wall.

"Obviously, the protagonist in the mural is King Karl Olaf, the leader respected by all the Asa tribes two hundred years ago, and the ancestor of Basaka," Jiang Feng said.

Gao Fei stroked his beard. The more he looked at King Olaf on the mural, the more he felt he looked like Uncle Kutoskui. The only difference was that King Olaf had thick hair and was not bald like Kuiye.

It's hard to tell whether this is just a coincidence, or whether the mod designer is deliberately playing tricks on him to pay tribute to Kui Ye in this way.
