"Come on, Toto! Bite that ugly old woman to death!" Ma Yun released her magic pet.
The mechanical dog Toto jumped out of the hatch and rushed towards the old witch.
Theodora was performing her best "Malicious Transformation Technique" when she saw a metal construct that looked like a dog but not a dog running towards her. She snorted coldly, and the magic power emerged from the silver shoes under her feet, automatically blessing her with the "Flying Technique".
Rising from the void.
Toto took the bite and looked up angrily at the old witch who had flown into the air. Two golden lights shot out of his eyes.
The old witch never expected that this mechanical dog could actually attack from a distance. She was caught off guard and was hit by a "force field ray" and lost 9 points of health.
Fortunately, her concentration on spellcasting was not interrupted, and she successfully released the "Malicious Transformation".
The mechanical corner stone follows the program set by the hostess. When it detects that the enemy is casting a spell, it immediately uses the "dispersion technique" to counterattack.
Unfortunately, "Malicious Transformation" is a 5-ring magic, and the mechanical corner stone failed to successfully dispel it.
"Stinky girl! Become a hamster for me!"
The old witch's sinister smile echoed in the night sky.
"That's weird!"
Ma Yun had been on guard against her move for a long time. She calmly snapped her fingers and the cabin door closed automatically.
She blessed the hatch with a "secondary activation technique" in advance. As long as she thought about it, the hatch would automatically open and close according to her will.
When Ma Yun and Istna release spells to the outside world, they leave the activation hatch open. When the old witch casts a spell to counterattack, the activation hatch will be closed in time, which is equivalent to providing full cover and isolating hostile spells.
.
The "malicious transformation" released by the old witch was originally targeted at Ma Yun.
When the cabin is closed and the spell loses its intended target, the mechanical corner stone wrapped around Ma Yun can only be regarded as the recipient of the spell.
The Mechanical Cornerstone is a construct without flesh and blood, and is naturally immune to all malicious deformation effects.
The old witch's spell hit the mechanical corner stone, but nothing happened, and 11 points of magic power were wasted.
Theodora was suspended in mid-air, a little overwhelmed by this unexpected turn of events.
At this time, the activation hatch opened again.
Ma Yun and Istna poked their heads out and simultaneously fired "magic missiles" at the old witch in mid-air.
"Oops!"
The old witch's expression suddenly changed.
She ran out in a hurry, without bothering to apply the "shield technique".
Watching ten purple light balls screaming towards me, I knew I couldn't dodge these self-tracking missiles no matter what, so I could only grit my teeth and hold on.
With a series of bangs and muffled sounds, the old witch swallowed ten magic missiles and suffered more damage than expected!
This is because Istna has given her a "mark of vulnerability" and used her signature skill "Sharp Mark Missile".
Although a blow of this magnitude cannot kill the old witch, it is enough to interrupt the concentration of the "Flying" spell.
The pair of transparent magic wings behind her were quietly annihilated, and the old witch screamed and fell from the air, hitting the ground solidly.
The old witch got up from the sand pit, spit out her two bloody front teeth with a sigh, and hurriedly applied the "Shield Technique" to herself, which at least blocked the second wave of missile storms that followed.
She drank a bottle of healing potion, and just as she was about to take a breath, she heard the roar of "Toto, Toto" coming from behind her.
The mechanical dog rushed forward bravely, biting the old witch's ankle, using all his strength, trying to trip her down.
"Get out of here! Stupid dog! Get out of here!"
The old witch was furious and kicked the mechanical dog, trying to shake it away. For a while, she couldn't spare the time to cast a spell.
There was a heartbreaking pain in her ankle bone. The old witch couldn't get rid of Toto's bite, so she had to resort to the trick of pressing the bottom of the box.
Bang!
The old witch's rickety body suddenly exploded on its own and turned into a large ball of flying yellow sand.
The tiny grains of sand slipped from the gap between Toto's teeth and gathered in a pile after landing, reshaping the old witch's body. She raised her hand and blasted a "thunder wave" that knocked the mechanical dog away.
Ma Yun stood at the door of the cabin and cheered when she saw Theodora switching between human form and quicksand.
"Okay! We guessed it right, this smelly old woman is indeed a sand hag!"
Once you see through Theodora's background, you can apply the previous strategy against the sand golem to this old witch.
…
The fight was in full swing outside the castle. At the same time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng had successfully sneaked into the castle, and under the protection of the "invisibility technique", they quietly climbed to the top floor.
On both sides of the stairs leading to the attic, two Tengu guards were standing guard absentmindedly, occasionally sticking their heads out the window to spy on the battle in the courtyard.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng exchanged glances, each showed his rapier and dagger, sneaked behind a Tengu guard, and suddenly stabbed him in the back!
Phew! Phew!
Goofy's refined rapier and 1-defense dagger stabbed into the back of the guard almost simultaneously, adding a total of 8d6 sneak attack damage.
Tengu, who was so skinny and small, couldn't bear it at all and died on the spot.
On the other side, Jiang Feng also launched a sneak attack with two rapiers.
Her prey was even more vulnerable. The "Twilight Sword" triggered a critical hit and killed the Tengu guard instantly, even sparing the "Magic Technique".
After getting rid of the two watchdogs, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng pushed open the ajar door and walked into the dim attic.
The two of them split up and searched the attic as quickly as possible, making sure that no traps or magic alarms were set before they were relieved.
Jiang Feng picked up the crystal ball on the table and looked at it.
This magical weapon specially used to perform "detection" is as big as an apple, round and flawless, crystal clear.
A crystal ball in such good condition is quite valuable in itself. The old witch was very coquettish enough to equip it with a solid gold base, showing off her wealthy style.
"Yes, yes, it's all mine!"
Jiang Nuxia was a stickler for "thieves never steal anything", so she packed up the crystal ball and the gold base and took them away. Then she walked to the window and looked at the wire cage placed on the table near the window.
There is a large tray made of gold, covered with a layer of fine sand, and two rows of small troughs also made of pure gold. One row is filled with water, and the other row is filled with walnuts and hazelnuts.
Kind of nuts.
In the center of the iron cage, a golden roller was installed, which looked like a small waterwheel. The axle was closely connected to the clockwork socket of a clock next to it.
Two little hamsters are running hard on the golden roller.
Driven by them, the roller rotates slowly, and then through the mechanical combination of the axle and gears, the clock is fully wound, so that the pendulum continues to obtain the power of ticking and swinging.
The hour and minute hands on the dial point to 8:25 in the evening.
