Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Ma Yun, Qi Tian and Wang Daqing hurriedly boarded the deck to meet Pep.
On the water covered with rushes, tangled vines were squirming. From a distance, they looked like swarms of water snakes, blocking the channel of the catamaran.
These activated vines seem to be the products of swamp plants infected and mutated by magic.
Gao Fei turned on the astrolabe to investigate the water ahead, and was surprised to find that the things lurking in the mud were creeping monsters.
Among all types of activated plants, the creeping monster is second only to the tree man. Especially in swamp areas, it is definitely one of the monsters that travelers least want to encounter!
Judging from the reference materials provided by the astrolabe, the challenge level of an adult creeper is usually level 5, the average health value is about 120 points, it has 11 points of natural armor, and the average attributes are: strength 23, agility 10, and constitution 20
, Intelligence 5, Perception 15, Charisma 9.
Shrub monsters generally have talents such as "Blindsight", "Weapon Focus (Bludgeoning)", "Iron Will", "Power Attack", "Multiple Attacks", "Constriction" and "Mastery Grappling".
It has 10 points of resistance each to cold attacks. Not only will it not be injured by electric shock, but it can also recover blood - it is said that the creeping monster reproduces by absorbing the electric energy generated by natural lightning strikes or magic.
If the creeping monster is not uprooted and completely destroyed, the roots hidden deep in the soil will be able to absorb the lightning energy and grow back after a thunderstorm.
The southern part of Irian Island, where Ash Swamp is located, happens to have a humid and rainy tropical climate. Especially in this season, affected by the southeast trade wind, there are thunder and rain every three days.
For the creeping monsters, this large swamp with frequent thunderstorms is the most suitable geomantic treasure land for their breeding population.
A swamp is not like a wide lake, and the catamarans used by the SWAT officers can only sail along rivers with deeper water levels.
The river in this section is still very narrow, with dense mangroves growing on both sides of the river. If the propeller gets stuck by tree roots, there is a risk of the boat capsizing.
Within Gao Fei's field of vision, there were no less than a dozen creeping monsters blocking the river, making it impossible to navigate.
Further away, there were more creeping monsters that were disturbed by the noise of the outboard engine and were swimming towards this side.
The crawling speed of the creeping monster on land is very slow, but in the water, its huge body is lifted up by the buoyancy force, and it swims quite quickly.
Watching the sinking and floating creeping monsters surrounding them, the young special police officers were ready for battle and did not panic in their hearts.
After all, they still have a way out.
So what if there are too many creeping monsters?
They can't fly anyway.
For each shambling monster with challenge level 5, 1800 experience points will be credited to the account for each one destroyed.
No one would complain that there are too many experience points. Of course, you should kill if you can. If you really can't kill them all, let Pep shrink the boat and put it away. Everyone will collectively transform into a dragon or wind element form and fly away from this dangerous road.
That's it for the river.
Among the team, the most anxious one is Crocodile Angel.
This giant crocodile floated next to the catamaran, ready to rush out and tear apart the group of creeping monsters blocking the way.
"The Big Mouth cannot fly." Qi Tian scratched his head, "Speaking of which, it is the only unit in our team that cannot fly, so I feel very nervous, for fear that I will leave it alone."
Spider Angel turned around, stared at Qi Tian, and whispered.
The phase spider has a unique racial language that others cannot understand, but her master can understand.
"Beauty! Don't worry blindly, I'm not that kind of heartless and unjust person!" Qi Tian sternly assured, "No matter what danger we encounter, I will never leave you and Big Mouth alone!"
"Brother Xiaotian, take this."
Ma Yun handed Qi Tian two Malisin pills, and then gave one to each of the other teammates.
"I poured the 'flying skill' into the chocolate beans. When it's time to move in, you feed one to Big Mouth and it can fly."
Gao Fei took the magic-infused chocolate beans from Ma Yun and said to Qi Tian: "Actually, you can make the crocodile angel fly by yourself without the help of the richest man."
"Ah? Brother Fei, I don't know how to fly..." Qi Tian spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
"Upgrade your 'Animal Tamer' profession to level 7 and automatically acquire the Level 2 'Transformation Technique'. This spell is enough."
Qitian is not stupid either. After Gao Fei reminded him, he suddenly realized.
Tamers and natural companions can share spell effects.
By blessing himself with the "Transformation Technique", he can simultaneously transform the crocodile angel into an animal or magical beast with a size difference of not more than one level, such as a roc.
After figuring this out, Qi Tian no longer had any worries and waved his hand to signal Crocodile Angel to clear the way!
The crocodile angel had been impatient for a long time, swung its tail and rushed forward.
The creeping monster blocking the road ahead stretched its vines close to the water, trying to entangle the giant crocodile that came to the door.
The Crocodile Angel is two levels stronger than the creeping monster in terms of size and strength, and can easily tear off the vines wrapped around its body.
The creeping monster in the front row seemed to realize that this prey was difficult to deal with and quickly dived underwater.
The crocodile angel opened his mouth proudly and continued to advance forward, breaking through layers of defenses, and his physical strength was also consumed rapidly.
After breaking through five lines of defense in a row, Crocodile Angel's momentum was almost exhausted.
At this time, behind it, the creeping monsters that had previously given way emerged one after another in a very obscene manner, stretching out their vines and wrapping around its tail.
Only then did Crocodile Angel realize in horror that he had fallen into a circle formed by more than a dozen creeping monsters and was being attacked from both sides.
No matter how powerful it is, it cannot resist the siege of so many creeping monsters at the same time. If it is trapped here, it will only die!
Qi Tian, who was on the bow of the boat, also noticed that the crocodile angel had fallen into the trap and quickly whistled to urge it to come back quickly.
The crocodile angel hurriedly turned around and ran back with all its strength.
You can't break away from the encirclement with brute force alone, but fortunately there are hydraulic cannons.
The crocodile angel raised its tail and fired three cannons, finally blasting through the encirclement net formed by countless vines, and escaped back in a thrilling manner.
After going in and out, Big Mouth Brother was very tired. He lay beside the side of the boat, breathing heavily, with his eyes full of shock.
The creeping monsters gathered in the river on the opposite side were not willing to let their prey go, and swarmed after them.
The Crane Angel stood next to Pep who was at the helm, stretched his neck, and sprayed a ball of fire toward the water.
Bang!
The fireball explodes in the area where the creeping monsters gather. The visual effect is spectacular, but it is of little use.
The fireball exploded on the water, and the flames were immediately extinguished by the waves, and even half of its destructive power could not be exerted.
What's more, the creeping monster has 10 points of fire resistance. If one or two vines are blown off and a few leaves are scorched, it will have little effect on the main body of the rhizome hidden under the water.
