The acid in the digger is very precious. After one round of spitting, it takes at least half a minute to brew again before the acid in the stomach can be regurgitated into the mouth to prepare for the next spray.
Taking advantage of this window period, everyone immediately launched a counterattack.
"vanima!"
Xiaoma stood up from the bushes, chanted a mantra and swung his robe, activating the 3-ring magic "hypnotic pattern" that came with the iridescent robe.
A disc-shaped ball of seven-colored light appeared out of thin air above the area where the burrowing insects gathered. It circled and danced in the air, emitting a dazzling and intense light.
The willpower resistance of the diggers is not high. The moment they saw the colorful patterns, they were attacked en masse and became devastated.
The mechanical dog Toto followed closely beside the hostess, followed Ma Yun's mental instructions, and sprayed a "fireball" toward the area with the densest swarm of insects.
Tin Man Nick had been observing in secret for a long time, found the best angle, raised his hand and fired out the "lightning beam".
A bright electric light traveled across the battlefield, piercing through four burrowing insects in one breath, like piercing a candied haws.
Jiang Feng stood on the tree and released the "Flame Strike Technique" from a high position, submerging the three ground diggers in golden-red flames and burning them to charcoal on the spot.
Gao Fei was not idle either, with three consecutive hits of "Scorching Ray" and the enhanced sneak attack effects of "See Through Life Gate", he instantly killed three burrowing insects on the spot.
After a round of raids, six worms were killed instantly, and three were injured by fireballs and lightning. Only one was lucky enough to avoid all attacks, and was so frightened that it turned and fled towards a nearby cave.
"Cowardly reptile! Get over here!"
The lion Dimitri activated the "Warrior's" signature skill "Taunt" at the right time, forcing the Digger to give up the idea of escape and turn around to challenge him.
As you can imagine, the result was that he could not survive more than two rounds and his skull was bitten by the lion, and his body was still twitching unconsciously.
After the battle started, the frightened diggers automatically got rid of the ecstasy state.
In this case, it is meaningless to spend concentration and continue to maintain the "hypnotic pattern".
Ma Yun decisively canceled the "Hypnosis Pattern" and instead focused on maintaining the level 4 "Fire Wall" spell, drawing a circle of blazing flames close to the ground and trapping the remaining three burrowing insects inside the fire wall.
The three diggers all rushed out against the wall of fire.
Two of them fell on the way to escape, and only one was lucky enough to break through the fire wall and burrow back into the hole.
"Now we're in trouble!" Tin Woodman Nick stamped his feet anxiously, "The burrowing worm has already got into the cave. It's going to be difficult to pull it out."
"What's so difficult about this?" Gao Fei put the pistol back on his waist and smiled lightly, "Our adventure team happens to have a member who is suitable for crawling into holes to catch insects."
Ma Yun heard his intention, turned around and made a gesture to the sand golem.
The sand demon nodded slightly, and its burly body transformed into the shape of quicksand, flowing close to the ground.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the activated quicksand was like a golden stream, pouring into the burrow where the earthworms were hiding.
Everyone stood guard at the entrance of the cave and waited patiently.
About five minutes later, a sudden tremor came from the entrance of the cave.
The groundworm that had escaped earlier got out in a hurry and reached the flat ground. Before anyone could take action, it huddled up in a ball in pain.
Gao Fei took a closer look and found that the activated quicksand had attached itself to the burrowing insect, blocking the pores it relied on to breathe.
The digger couldn't breathe, no wonder it looked so painful.
The Tin Woodman carried his tomahawk, strode up to the Digger, swung the ax with all his might, and cut off its head, ending its death struggle early.
After the battle, Ma Yun reminded her companions to collect the bodies of all ten diggers.
This is not only to pay a favor to Fabion, but also to collect a wave of loot.
There are only some leftover beast corpses and bone fragments in the digger's lair, nothing valuable.
In fact, the most valuable thing on a digger's body is its hard carapace.
This kind of chitin exoskeleton can be used to process armor and shields. Its defensive performance is better than that of steel products, it is resistant to corrosion, and its weight is only 1/4 of the same level of steel armor.
The complete shell of the burrowing insect is peeled off and used to make a set of full-body armor. The wearer's defense bonus is 9, the same as the steel plate armor, but the weight of the insect shell armor is only equivalent to a set of leather armor.
The wearer's flexibility is less restricted.
From a data point of view, the upper limit of the agility correction of steel plate armor is only 1.
In other words, no matter how high the wearer's agility attribute is, after wearing plate armor, he can only gain 1 agility correction on dodge at most, and higher agility attributes cannot be reflected, which is a waste.
On the contrary, when wearing plate armor made of burrowing insect shells, the upper limit of agility modification is 4. As long as the wearer's agility attribute does not exceed 18 points, the flexibility will not be restricted.
Most of the carapace of the burrowing insects was burned by flames and penetrated by lightning during battles, and has lost its use value.
In the end, Ma Yun only peeled off two complete sets of insect shells, planning to make a set of breastplates and a shield.
The bug-shell breastplate was given to the lion, and the shield was given to the Tin Woodman to improve their defense.
As soon as everyone finished cleaning the battlefield, "Tree Dragon" Fabion teleported back and congratulated them on passing the test.
As agreed, Fabion used the "Wood Escape Technique" and took Gao Fei and others directly to the foot of the mountain at the southern edge of the maze forest a hundred miles away.
This towering hill is the habitat of flying dragons.
Before parting, Fabion gave Ma Yun a spell scroll and also sent blessings to everyone.
Similar to Qieyun'aling, the blessing of the tree dragon also has supernatural power and can provide a "protective spell" for the blessed.
Gao Fei opened the astrolabe out of curiosity, checked the status bar, and found that there was an additional buff called "Anti-Poison Spell".
…
Anti-Poison Amulet: Those protected by this amulet have an advantage on Fortitude saving throws against poison, and poison damage is halved.
…
Obviously, this protective spell is specially used to fight against the flying dragon clan. After all, the most powerful weapon of the flying dragon is the sharp poisonous hook on its tail.
In addition, there was another detail that surprised Gao Fei.
The "anti-poison spell" that Fabion cast on him actually lasts until the entire module is completed!
This is currently the tenth chapter of the wizard module "The Wizard of Oz", and there are two more chapters to follow.
Under normal circumstances, the protective spell can only be used 3 times, or until the end of the current chapter.
The unusually long duration of the "Anti-Poison Spell" is certainly a benefit for players, but from the perspective of the creator, is this design intentional?
If the answer is yes, then it is not difficult for Gao Fei to draw an inference: in subsequent chapters, he may encounter enemies who are good at using poison, or traps full of poison!
Only under this premise can the "Anti-Poison Spell" have the value of continuing to exist.
