The "Brood Will" of the Death Holy Beetle colony has 6 points of intelligence attribute and is quite smart. Realizing that the situation was not good, he quickly issued a mental command to urge all the beetles to stay away from the war figurines with electric discharges all over their bodies.
Joseph Cooper controlled the warforged's mechanical arm, took off the flamethrower on his back, pointed the nozzle at the area where the beetles gathered, thought for a moment, shook his head, and put the flamethrower back.
Gao Fei was not surprised by what he did.
Judging from the monster illustration provided by Astrolabe, the Death Holy Beetle Cluster has 30 points of fire resistance.
The warforged's flamethrower is only as powerful as the 1st-level spell "Burning Hands". Each time it erupts, it causes 5d6 points of fire damage to targets within a 15-foot cone area. It is almost impossible to penetrate the fire resistance of the death holy beetle swarm.
.
In addition to the flamethrower, the war forged also has an external weapon, which is the electric shock hammer slung on the shoulder.
Joseph Cooper controlled the war figurine, holding a hammer with both hands, and smashed it to the ground with all his strength.
Bang!
The large war hammer hit the floor hard, and shining sparks flew in all directions. All the beetles within ten feet were affected and were either shattered on the spot or scorched by the high-voltage arc.
The frightened insects fled in all directions.
The dwarf drove the war figurine to catch up and stamped his feet so hard that the stone floor shattered into pieces.
Wherever the giant steel feet of the war forged trampled, a powerful shock wave spread in all directions, knocking the tiny beetles flying.
Swarm creatures are not afraid of single attacks, but they will also suffer double damage when faced with group attacks.
The electric hammer and trample of the war forged are large-scale group attacks for the beetle swarm, and one hit will kill a large area.
Joseph Cooper drove the Warforged to chase the insect swarm. While killing the insect, he also broke the six clay pots where the insect swarm lived.
When the last clay pot was smashed by a giant hammer, the remaining beetles in the hall stopped crawling and decomposed into wisps of black smoke, which dissipated in the blink of an eye.
"Haha! Easy to do!"
The dwarf opened the cabin and jumped out first. He fell over with a clang and then quickly got up and straightened his horned helmet.
Hearing laughter coming from behind, Joseph Cooper's old face turned red with shame. He turned around and punched the young man in the cabin and yelled: "You're laughing! Get out of here! We have to get there before the frost giant catches up."
Get the holy ax and escape from this damn tomb!"
Goofy jumped out of the cabin and said to the dwarf: "Uncle Joseph, after this adventure is over, we plan to take a boat back to the New World. Anyway, there is no point in you staying on the island, so why not come with us."
The dwarf hesitated for a moment, then faced the barbarian prince's sincere gaze, finally made up his mind and nodded heavily.
"Okay! We have raised the ashes of that old ghost Karl Olaf, and the Holy Ax is no longer here, so why should I waste my time on this little broken island!"
"After leaving Parthian Island, I will board the ship with you! Speaking of which, I have several cousins living in a place called Nidaville in the New World, and I just happened to drop by to visit relatives!"
Stroking his beard, Joseph Cooper was thinking about the future, his eyes full of longing, and he seemed to be a hundred years younger.
Although he had already obtained the consent of the dwarf uncle, Gao Fei did not receive the system prompt that he officially joined the adventure team. He shook his head in confusion, put aside this question for the time being, and hurried to the altar.
As soon as he approached the glowing spherical protective shield, Gao Fei was blocked by an invisible force.
"Boy! To open the altar barrier, you need your blood and the spell on the jade." The dwarf reminded loudly.
Gao Fei took the dagger handed over by Qi Tian, pricked his finger, poured the blood on the altar, and then loudly recited the incantation inscribed on the jade.
The barrier surrounding the altar resonated with the incantation echoing in the air. It trembled twice and then quietly lifted, opening the way to the altar.
Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, climbed onto the altar, and held the artifact giant ax in both hands.
After walking in, he looked at the holy ax and found that the ax handle and blade were both made of fine gold. They were heavy on his hand. If his berserker hadn't been strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to lift them.
Fine gold is the hardest natural metal in the game world. At first glance, it looks as black as carbon. If you look closely at the light source, you will find that the black has a beautiful dark blue luster.
As for the dark golden magical aura seen before, it has nothing to do with the material of the holy axe. It only shows that it is an artifact-level magic weapon.
According to the legend passed down by the Olaf tribe from generation to generation, this artifact should have an enchantment level of 10 and a host of powerful special abilities.
Gao Fei used an astrolabe to identify it, but found that it was just a "4-Adamantine Beheading Axe".
If the holder belongs to the "non-evil camp", he can also get the following additional benefits from the holy ax:
·Strength attribute 4
·Damage reduction armor 5/adamantine
·Advantage on attack rolls against evil creatures
·Have advantage on saving throws against cold magic and supernatural forces.
Judging from the performance of the weapon alone, it is definitely powerful, but considering the quality of the artifact, and comparing it with the various legends about Olaf's Holy Ax in history... it seems a bit unworthy of its name.
However, Gao Fei quickly adjusted his mentality and realized that the currently identified attributes did not represent the true power of the Holy Axe.
Because he just got the holy ax and hasn't had time to synchronize it yet!
When the synchronization is completed in the future, the true power of this artifact will be fully revealed.
So what are the synchronization requirements for Holy Ax?
How many orders of homology can be performed at most?
Out of curiosity, Gao Fei was about to continue identifying the holy axe, when he suddenly sensed an unusually strong wave of magic power!
Looking up subconsciously, I saw a dark cave opening in the air above the altar!
Behind the cave, it seems to lead to a mysterious demiplane.
"That's...'Magic Rope Technique'?!"
Among the people present, only the mage Joseph Cooper recognized the nature of the black cave. His expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly warned the young people beside him.
"Silly boy, run quickly!"
But it was too late.
Several figures appeared at the entrance to the demiplane hole created by the "Magic Rope Technique". The first ones to jump out were two fully armed frost giant warriors, followed by General Schroeder, and finally the "Ice Tower" flew down.
Warlock "Gelmir.
"Basaka Olaf, why are you here? I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
There was a joking smile on Gelmir's lips.
"Thank you for helping me unlock the altar barrier. Thank you for your hard work. Please return the holy ax to me now."
"Give it back mmp!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but swear.
He admitted that he had underestimated the cunningness of the ice tower warlock and had ambushed him here in advance, playing a trick on him, but he could not stand the other party's naked shamelessness and arrogance.
