There was also a barrel of alchemical gunpowder used in mining in the warehouse. It had been stored here for more than two months. Gao Fei opened the lid of the barrel and saw that the gunpowder had become damp and difficult to ignite again.
Gao Fei felt it was a pity to leave this bucket of damp gunpowder behind. After thinking for a while, he turned around and asked Jiang Feng: "Your 'Water Making Technique' can be reversed into a 'Dry Water Technique'. Can it be used to dehumidify gunpowder?"
"It's hard to say, you can give it a try."
Jiang Feng waved his hand, signaling Gao Fei and Martin to stay away, so as not to accidentally injure them if they exploded with gunpowder.
The three of them retreated to a safe area 30 meters away, and Jiang Feng cast the "Dry Water Technique" on the gunpowder barrel with the lid open.
The gunpowder barrel sizzled, and a cloud of turbid water vapor rose up.
Fortunately, there was no explosion.
Jiang Feng walked lightly, returned to the powder barrel, picked up some powder with a dagger, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Gao Fei also followed up and inserted a slender wooden stick vertically into the bottom of the gunpowder barrel, then pulled it out and checked the light yellow gunpowder powder adhering to the end of the stick. He twisted it with his fingers and found that it was still a little damp.
a feeling of.
"That's enough." Jiang Feng said to her boyfriend, "One more shot of the 'Dry Water Technique'. I'm worried that the gunpowder will explode."
Gao Fei covered the gunpowder barrel, sealed it carefully, put the whole barrel into the astrolabe, and said to his girlfriend with a smile: "I understand Ma Yun's happiness now. It's really fun to pick up rags."
"I felt similar joy when I successfully made a cut on Pinduoduo! It's getting late, let's go quickly!"
Jiang Feng held her boyfriend's arm and said cheerfully.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the warehouse door, followed by Martin's urgent shout and the barking of a hound.
"Roger! Miss Quinn! Come and help save people!"
Save people?
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly ran to Martin.
The shotgun slung behind Martin's back was blessed with "light magic", guiding the two of them in the dark.
He hurriedly ran to Martin and took a look. The scene in front of him was so terrifying and strange that Gao Fei couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
There is a magic crystal vein waiting to be mined nearby. The rough rock walls are inlaid with large pieces of ore, which reflect a dark blue glow under the light.
The gang member who led them had most of his body sunk into the ore, with only his right hand and right foot exposed on the outside of the stone wall.
Martin struggled to grab his right arm, his forehead covered with sweat, while the hound bit his right foot and dragged it outwards.
They tried their best, but still couldn't pull out the gang members who were inexplicably stuck in the mine.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng quickly stepped forward to help.
The three people and one dog exerted all their strength, only to hear a click, and with a light movement of their hands, under the action of inertia, they involuntarily flew backwards, and fell to the ground one after another, covered in mud, and they were very embarrassed.
.
Gao Fei stood up in a hurry, turned his head and took a look, and was immediately horrified!
One arm and one leg of the gang member who was trapped in the stone wall fell to the ground. The cross-section was as smooth as a knife, and most of the rest of the torso was swallowed up by the dark blue ore.
What's even more incredible is that not a drop of blood came out of the wound, and the cross section of the fracture showed the texture of a crystal.
"By the gods, what on earth is going on with this mother?"
Martin sat on the ground, his face bloodless, his eyes wide open, muttering to himself.
Jiang Feng stood up with Gao Fei's help and looked at the stone wall that was swallowing the living people, with fear from the bottom of his heart showing in his eyes.
As the three people watched in astonishment, the man-eating ore actually broke away from the rock wall and moved around.
It looks like an activated construct made of a lot of magic crystal ore, with long or short dark blue crystals protruding on the surface.
With a clicking sound, two crystal tentacles that resembled thick scorpion tails extended from the monster's body and grabbed the arms and legs that had fallen to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a gap opened in the activated ore, like a huge mouth, swallowing the retrieved arms and legs, and slowly closed them.
This mysterious monster swallowed their guide alive in front of Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin. The mountain-like body seemed to have grown in size again.
Gao Fei was the first to come to his senses and opened the astrolabe to investigate the monster in front of him.
The results were somewhat unexpected.
This monster named "Carnivorous Crystal Cluster" is not a construct such as activated ore, but a distant relative of the Black Pudding Monster, a mud monster with the blood of the earth element subspecies.
Carnivore crystal clusters are native to the earth elemental plane and can simulate the shape of nearby ores by changing the color and texture of the body surface.
For example, this carnivorous crystal cluster entrenched in the depths of the magic crystal mine uses the skill of mimicry to dress up as a pile of magic crystal ore. When it stands still, it can be said to be fake and real.
The gang members leading the way for Gao Fei and others failed to see through the camouflage of the carnivorous crystal cluster. When passing by it, they were unexpectedly attacked and swallowed alive.
Carnivore crystal clusters have a very terrifying ability to quickly convert organic matter swallowed into the body into mineral crystals, turning the prey's flesh and blood into a part of itself.
As its name suggests, the carnivorous crystal cluster has an insatiable greed for flesh and blood. The more living creatures it eats, the larger its body will expand. When it grows to a certain extent, it will split in half like the black pudding monster and multiply.
A new individual.
It is also a mud monster, and the Carnivorous Crystal Cluster looks smaller than the Black Pudding Monster, but it is more dangerous than the latter, with a challenge level as high as 9.
Hard mineral armor, equivalent to level 12 natural defense plus 10/bludgeoning damage reduction armor.
Two sharp crystals touch the wrist, with its own "sharp edge" special effect, which can cause slashing and puncture damage at the same time, with a critical hit rate of up to 20%!
The carnivorous crystal cluster in front of Gao Fei and others has reached a mature stage, with HP as high as 216, and its attributes are also exaggerated: strength 27, agility 5, constitution 22, intelligence 2, perception 16, and charm 12!
The only shortcoming of this monster is its agility attribute. Logically speaking, "flying a kite" is the best tactic to deal with it. However, everyone is in a small underground mine and there is no ample space to pull around. They must either fight head-on or retreat the same way.
The Carnivorous Crystal Cluster is naturally resistant to magic, immune to cold and electric shock damage, and has 20 points of fire resistance. Its only weakness is that it is vulnerable to sonic damage.
Unfortunately, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin are not good at sonic magic such as "Thunder Wave", and even if they know its weakness, they cannot target it.
The Carnivorous Crystal Cluster has mastered the specialties of "Strong", "Powerful Attack", "Cruel Strike" and "Multiple Attacks". Combined with its super high strength and armor, it is like a meat grinder.
On Goofy's side, the configuration of two thieves and a ranger does not even have an MT that can carry a tower shield. Fighting with flesh-eating crystal clusters in hand-to-hand combat... is probably not a good idea.
