While the monster was crawling slowly, it was still twisting its tentacles and scratching its body, trying to dig out the bullets deeply embedded in its body.
The intention is obvious.
The monster has discovered that the bullet that hit it was enchanted with a "silence spell", which prevented it from making a sound to call the police.
Of course, Gao Fei can't let him dig out the silent bullet, yell, and attract more gangsters.
Taking advantage of his invisible state, Gao Fei raised his hand and fired out the "Scorching Ray".
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Three lines of fire were shot out one after another.
A huge monster with a shell as hard as granite, it must have very high natural armor.
Judging from its clumsy crawling movements, its agility attribute is definitely not that high.
Using magic rays to deal with this type of monster is the easiest to break through.
Sure enough, three rays hit the monster one after another, causing a total of 70 points of damage including the sneak attack effect!
Including the shot just now, Gao Fei has caused nearly 100 points of damage to it in total, but the strong monster has not fallen down, and the visual inspection still has about 1/10 of its health bar.
Wo Ri! Are you so ready to take a beating?!
Gao Fei quickly opened the astrolabe to check the details of this monster.
It turns out that this is a large abnormal monster called "Tree Rope Demon" with a challenge level of 6.
The Tree Rope Demon is indeed as rough and fleshy as it looks. It has 104 health points and a natural armor of 14. Its attributes are: Strength 23, Agility 8, Constitution 19, Intelligence 9, Perception 16, and Charisma 12.
The Tree Rope Demon is naturally good at mimicry, and when it is still, it looks exactly like a thick stalactite pillar.
When it makes a Disguise (Deception) check, double the proficiency modifier is applied, and the roll takes precedence.
Prey deceived by the Tree Rope Demon's disguise will be attacked and entangled in its tentacles if it comes within 60 feet of the monster.
The tentacles of the tree rope demon are very tough. Even if they are cut off by a sharp blade, they will automatically regenerate after one round.
The surface of the tentacles secretes mucus like strong glue, which makes it difficult to break free once entangled.
Prey entangled by the tree rope demon's tentacles must make a Fortitude save each round. Each time the save fails, it will accumulate 1 level of "exhaustion" status.
If you accumulate 6 levels of exhaustion, you will die directly from cardiopulmonary failure.
In fact, most of the prey captured by the Tree Rope Demon did not even deserve this more humane death. Instead, they were stuffed into the large mouth full of sharp teeth by the tentacles and bitten to pieces.
In addition, the Tree Rope Demon also masters talents such as "Alertness", "Proficient Initiative", "Proficient Grappling", "Weapon Specialization" and "Multiple Attacks".
Fortunately, Gao Fei accidentally hit him and broke the camouflage of the tree rope demon with one shot. Otherwise, as long as he took two steps forward and entered the attack range of the tentacles, he would probably be entangled and sent directly.
At this time, the Tree Rope Demon had already discovered that the infiltrator was good at invisibility, so he twisted one of his tentacles and probed into the cave where the lantern was placed.
It took out the lantern and shined it towards the area where Goofy was hiding.
The light containing magical power swept past Gao Fei's body, immediately dispelling the "invisibility technique" he had just blessed, and also lit up a circle of violet fluorescence on his body, making him particularly conspicuous.
Gao Fei's heart trembled, and he made a spell-casting gesture without thinking.
"!"
Before the tree rope demon's tentacles could swing over, Gao Fei fired five magic missiles.
hp-21!
The remaining life of the tree rope demon could not withstand the missile attacks, and its body collapsed, and its six tentacles decomposed into a rotten clay-like substance after death.
Gao Fei's heart hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he opened the astrolabe, checked his status, and found that he was marked with a "demon fire" mark and could not become invisible for 10 minutes.
The tree rope demon does not have the ability to cast spells. Gao Fei guessed that the "demon fire" probably came from the mysterious magic lantern.
Guman
He used the "Mage's Hand" to retrieve the lantern from near the tree-rope demon's body and used an astrolabe to identify it.
It turns out that this is an "extraordinary" level magic weapon called a "visualizing lamp", which is specially used to deal with invisible creatures.
…
·Visual light (blue, extraordinary)
Overview: It looks like an ordinary lantern, but when you take off the lampshade, it emits a magical light with anti-invisibility function.
Synchronization requirements: Hunting creatures that are good at invisibility, or creatures that are spiritual, incorporeal, gaseous, etc.
Level 1 synchronization: eliminates invisibility within 60 feet; marks the enemy target with "demon fire", making it invisible, and attacks against it automatically gain advantage.
Level 2 synchronization: eliminates invisibility within 120 feet; marks hostile targets with "demon fire"; and forces gaseous, incorporeal, and spiritual creatures to return to physical form.
…
Gao Fei held up the "visualizing light" and looked around to make sure there were no invisible enemies, then opened the door to the cell.
Just like what Father Gallup saw with the help of the crystal ball, there was a large iron cage placed against the wall of the cell, and a haggard-looking boy was locked in the cage.
Gao Fei walked over, opened the cage, and called in a low voice.
"William, come out quickly! Your father sent me to save you!"
The young man slowly raised his head, as if he had just woken up from sleep, with confusion in his eyes.
Gao Fei was worried that the night would be long and he would have many dreams, so he reached over and grabbed him, trying to help him up.
However, at this moment, William Gordon jumped up as if he had been electrocuted.
A strange red light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly pulled out his rapier and stabbed Gao Fei in the heart.
Gao Fei was startled and hurriedly dodged.
The sharp sword passed through his armpit and scratched the inside of his left arm, causing a burning pain.
William Gordon seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and continued to attack fiercely with his sword without saying a word.
Gao Fei exited the cage and saw the crazy young man rushing to chase him, so he slammed the iron cage door shut.
Bang!
William accidentally bumped into the iron gate, and his eyes were filled with stars, and the world was spinning for a while.
Gao Fei took the opportunity to pull out his pistol, turned the handle of the gun upside down, and hit him hard on the head.
With a well-timed sap, William was knocked to the ground and passed out.
Gao Fei slowly exhaled and calmed down. He opened the astrolabe to check his status and found that he was poisoned.
Similar to the poisonous needle trap on "Black Hand" Cody's bedroom door, William's rapier was also coated with the wyvern's poison.
Fortunately, Gao Fei brought the antidote potion given by Father Gallup with him. He quickly took the medicine to detoxify and used "first aid" to stop the bleeding.
Then, Gao Fei checked William's health status.
No wonder this kid suddenly had a seizure and couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe.
It turns out he was cursed!
To be precise, William's sword was cursed.
As long as anyone holds the hilt of the sword, if he fails to pass the Will save, he will be cursed, become disowned, and stab everyone on sight, like a mad dog!
When Gao Fei recalled the time he used the crystal ball to detect William, he felt strange at the time. Why didn't the kidnappers disarm him?
