I want to ask what creature does the Shifter Beast hate the most in this world?
The answer is undoubtedly the flash dog.
vice versa.
Shifter beasts and flash dogs, these two magical beast groups have deep-rooted hatred. Once the two sides meet on a narrow road, they will fight to the death.
This old enemy relationship, which is engraved deep in the blood and passed down from generation to generation, is vividly described in the illustrations of Shifter Beast and Flash Dog, which left a deep impression on Gao Fei.
Just now, he had an idea and thought of a clever plan to use the relationship between these old enemies to divert the hatred of the shifter beasts.
The next question is, how does Goofy transform into a flash dog?
In fact, it's easier than a magician pulling a dove out of a top hat.
Goofy switched the "thief mask" to the "paladin mask", summoned the paladin mount "Celestial Bull", and then used the imitator's professional ability "Master of Disguise" to cast a free level 2 "Transformation".
Under normal circumstances, the "transformation spell" only takes effect on the caster himself, and can only transform into a creature of the same type with a size difference of not more than one level.
According to this rule, as a human being, Gao Fei can never turn himself into a dog.
However, nothing is absolute.
If the caster has a familiar, a natural companion, or a paladin mount, he can share the spells that are originally only effective for himself with the above-mentioned contract partners through a magic link.
At this moment, Gao Fei used this method to bless the "transformation technique" on the celestial bull.
The Celestial Bull looks like an ordinary bull, but it is actually a magical beast.
Flash dogs are also magical beasts.
Celestial bulls are large creatures.
Flash dogs are medium sized.
The two belong to the same biological type, and the size difference is not more than one level, which is exactly in line with the law of transformation.
The strong bull was surrounded by a golden magical aura. After just three seconds, it turned into a big yellow dog with pointed ears, roaring provocatively at the shifter beast.
In fact, the "Transformation Technique" cannot turn the Celestial Bull into a real flash dog.
What has changed is only the body shape and appearance, the attributes are still those of a bull, and it does not have the iconic flashing ability of the flash dog.
However, this level of disguise is enough to deceive a shifter beast who is not particularly smart.
If something looks like a flash dog, walks like a flash dog, and barks like a flash dog, then in the eyes of the shifter, the other person is a hateful flash dog!
The ancestral hatred caused the shifter beast to become furious, abandoning other opponents, and desperately pounced on the "Flash Dog", biting crazily.
Mario seized this good opportunity and decisively closed his eyes.
The halo surrounding the Shifter Beast is a visual illusion. If the opponent closes his eyes and is not disturbed by the illusion, he will not suffer the 50% miss rate penalty.
Of course, the prerequisite for this is to be able to accurately determine the position of the Shifting Beast without the aid of vision.
Mario Ricardo, as a veteran thief, happens to have the ability to "discern locations by listening to the wind"!
With his keen hearing, Mario quickly walked around behind the shifter beast, and while the monster was attracted by the flash dog, he launched a backstab with two daggers!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A combo of two hands followed by a "slash" was added, and Mario hit all three swords.
hp-21!
hp-13!
hp-17!
This set of combos knocked out three-quarters of the Shifter Beast's health.
The Shifter Beast was severely injured, with blood flowing out. It screamed and screamed under the stimulation of the pain, and suddenly threw out two stinging tentacles backwards, entangling Mario before he could retreat.
At the same time, the iron plate hanging on the collar resonated with the roar of the shifter beast, buzzing and trembling, and flashing with magical light.
This strange scene gave Gao Fei a bad premonition.
The iron plate on the shifter's collar seemed to be some kind of magical device, sounding a silent alarm.
Mario also realized that the situation was not good, and struggled to pull the thorny tentacles wrapped around his body. At the same time, he urged his companions to take action quickly and kill the shifter beast.
Lisa fired a "Holy Fire" shot.
Claire also threw out the "Whip of Thorns" and forced the Shifter Beast away to prevent it from turning back to bite Mario.
Simba the lion and the fake Flash Dog also pounced on the Shifter Beast.
However, due to the constant "displacement spell" on this monster, most of the people's siege failed.
Upon seeing this, Gao Fei decisively switched the "Warlock Mask" to the "Warlock Mask" and raised his hand to blast out a violet shock wave.
The "Magic Explosion" strengthened by "Tracking Magic Explosion" is not disturbed by illusions and is automatically locked on the Shifter Beast.
Bang!
hp-22!
This "Magic Explosion" is superimposed with the special effects of the three evil spells of "Magic Spear", "Repulsion Magic Explosion" and "Tracking Magic Explosion". The basic damage die is as high as 3d10. In addition, Goofy's charm correction is also taken into account.
He directly blasted the Shifter Beast out of the door and hit the meat cutting board, causing his brain to explode on the spot.
Goofy quickly returned to the kitchen, pulled off the iron plate from the body of the Shifter Beast, and was about to use the astrolabe to identify it, when suddenly there was movement from the stairs above.
Crunch——
The door at the top of the stairs was open, and a woman appeared at the top of the stairs holding a candlestick, looking down, and calling:
"Katie? Katie? What are you yelling at in the middle of the night? Is that little troublemaker named Oliver misbehaving again and trying to escape from the solitary room?"
Goofy guessed that the so-called Kitty was the nickname of the Shifter Beast, even though the monster looked nothing like Kitty Cat.
As for the "troublemaker Oliver" the woman mentioned, Goofy hasn't seen him yet, and seems to be referring to the crying child he heard before.
Looking up at the stairs, Gao Fei saw a young woman in a nightgown with a tall, plump figure and a pretty face, illuminated by a candlestick. She must be Mrs. Freddy, the manager of the almshouse.
The moment the two sides looked at each other, Mrs. Freddy was stunned for a moment, then bared her teeth and roared at Goofy, her beautiful face twisted like a furious female beast.
This is obviously not how an ordinary woman should behave when she encounters a stranger breaking into her home in the middle of the night.
Goofy also noticed that Mrs. Freddy had an iron pendant of the same style as the Shifter Beast hanging around her neck, and a jet black belt that exuded magical aura around her waist - which was in harmony with her gorgeous lace and satin dress.
The nightgown is very mismatched.
"Oh! God! A group of thieves broke into my house. It's terrible! Carl! Carl, come and catch the thieves!"
At this time, Mrs. Freddie seemed to have finally remembered her status as a rich lady, pretending to be frightened, and stood at the top of the stairs, shouting.
She begged for help and pretended to be pitiful, but her eyes were still glaring fiercely at Gao Fei and the others, and she licked her red lips greedily with her tongue. It seemed that she could no longer suppress the bloodthirsty desire in her heart, and she might swoop down at any time and choose someone to eat.
