"No way... Istna just left like that?" Ma Yun's face was full of astonishment, "Is the old witch's daughter actually so reasonable? I thought she would turn against her and take action!"
"If Istna is really so easy to talk to, could it be that Meng Tapir deceived us?" Jiang Feng raised another possibility.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Istna in the forest suddenly stopped and turned her back to them and muttered to herself.
"It's really strange. Why should I make a deal with you ungrateful guys in such a nice manner?"
"If I want to get back my mother's relics, wouldn't it be easier to just kill you and get what I want from your bodies?"
The cold words echoed in the forest, and Istna slowly turned around, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
The smile affected her facial muscles, making her high cheekbones and aquiline nose more eye-catching, adding a bit of sinister temperament, and her still pretty face became distorted and hideous.
What made people even more chilling was that Istna held an unusually shining fireball in her hand.
Inside the small fireball, extremely dangerous blazing magic power is compressed.
"Get out of the way!"
Gao Fei pushed Ma Yun and Jiang Feng away without thinking, and lay down himself.
Almost at the same time, Istna waved her hand and fired the "Fireball Technique".
The sound of explosions echoed over the woods, flames surged on the grass, and sand flew.
Fortunately, Gao Fei reacted quickly enough and pushed Ma Yun and Jiang Feng away, saving them from the fireball bombardment.
Goofy himself fell down in time. With a reflex save and the damage reduction effect of "Intuitive Dodge", the damage he received was finally reduced to 1/4, and only 8 HP points were deducted.
Dimitri the Lion also passed the Reflex save, but the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow were not as lucky.
Tin Man Nick was blown away by the fireball, and his heavy steel body fell into the mud pit, unable to get up for the time being.
Scarecrow Vita suffered the worst. Not only was the wooden frame supporting his body blown off, but it was also set on fire. He lay on the ground and emitted black smoke, like a bundle of dry wood stuffed into the furnace.
When Dimitri saw the scarecrow was on fire, his worry for his friend overwhelmed his fear. He jumped up to Vita and, ignoring the smoke from the fire, slapped the scarecrow desperately to help him extinguish the flames.
"ungwé!"
Istna chanted another spell and cast a spell, creating a large sticky web that covered the lion and the scarecrow, making them unable to move for a while.
"There are only three of you left now." Istna turned around and looked at Ma Yun, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng with a murderous look in her eyes, "We are also three here, just one to one."
Gao Fei took a step forward, intending to hold off Istna, the strongest enemy, so that Jiang Feng and Ma Yun could take the opportunity to kill the nightmare colt and night neighing hound, which were relatively easier to deal with. After that, the three of them teamed up to besiege Istna.
Tena.
The cunning half-blood hag seemed to have seen through his plan, and whistled, and the night-neighing hound behind him suddenly sprang out, stopped Gao Fei, and bit him viciously.
At the same time, Istna's nightmare pony also pounced on Jiang Feng's berserker, preventing her from getting close to her mistress.
In the end, only Ma Yun was left, and she had to bite the bullet and challenge Istna.
…
Goofy activated "Dexterity Action" and executed "Sprint", his movement speed suddenly doubled, he easily dodged the bite of the night-neighing hound, and went around to hide behind a tree.
While the night neighing hound is still searching for him, Gao Fei draws 3 points of magic power to add a "shield" to himself, and at the same time checks the attribute data of the night neighing hound.
This monster has 69 HP, defense 17, and its attributes are: strength 18, agility 17, constitution 16, intelligence 5, perception 14, and charm 10.
Like other canines, the night hound is also good at "tripping" skills, has a natural sense of smell, and has mastered the feats of "Strong", "Alertness", "Proficient Initiative" and "Survival Expert".
Nightshouts are immune to fear and charm, and are similar to nightmare foals, able to sneak into the spirit world and hide at will.
As a fey creature, nightshouts also have 10 points of damage-reducing armor that can only be penetrated by cold iron or magic weapons.
Nightshouts can fly and emit a magical roar once per day. Creatures who hear the roar will fall into fear unless they succeed on a Will save.
When the night barking hound attacks a frightened creature, it can also cause an additional 4d6 psychic damage!
As its name suggests, the Night Hound hates the sun and only moves at night or in dim environments. If it is exposed to strong light, it will be forcibly exiled to the spirit world.
The "Mage Mask" worn by Goofy happened to be the "Dancing Lights" among the four spells prepared today. He immediately cast the spell to create four flying balls of light.
He controlled the light balls to gather around the night neighing hound, intending to exploit the monster's weakness and drive it back to the spirit world.
However, the neighing hound was more alert than he expected. The moment the light came on, it suddenly took off into the air.
Night neighing hounds are naturally good at flying. Their dark bodies blend into the night sky and are almost invisible under the cover of branches.
Gao Fei looked up at the sky, searching for any traces of the night barking hound.
At this moment, there was a sudden wave of magic power behind him!
He knew something was going to be bad, so he didn't bother to look back and flew forward, rolled on the spot, and hid in the bushes.
At the same time, the night barking hound sneaked back from the spirit world, appeared behind Gao Fei's original body, stretched its neck, and took a bite!
If it weren't for Gao Fei's 18-point agility attribute and quick enough reaction, he might have been bloodied on the spot.
"This bitch turns out to be an old cunt!"
Gao Fei wiped off the cold sweat and decisively switched the "Mage Mask" to the "Monk Mask". At the same time, he activated the "Wild Transformation" provided by the "Druid Mask". His body shrank and twisted, turning into a bird with colorful fur and sharp claws.
ocelot.
Ocelots are small cats. After Goofy's transformation, his walking speed is 40 feet, his natural defense is 1, the first three physical attributes become Strength 7, Agility 22, and Constitution 14. The last three mental attributes remain the same and will not
Because when you become a big cat, you become as silly as a cat.
In addition, after the transformation, he also gained two ocelot innate abilities - "sensitive smell" and "pounce".
Although his body size has become smaller, Gao Fei's defense has greatly increased!
Since he did not wear cumbersome physical armor, Gao Fei also obtained "Body Protection Qi" through the "Monk Mask", and the perception correction of 4 was counted as defense.
Finally, with the addition of 1 point of defense bonus for small creatures, the overall defense level is as high as 30!
The night neighing hound's attack roll was only 6. It rushed at him and bit him, but in vain. All the attacks were easily dodged by Goofy's ocelot.
