Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: The Dancing Partner
After the huge shuriken hit the opponent accurately, Sherlock smashed a bottle of blood at his feet and ran to the crane room without looking back.
When the Dreadphage was attacked, it stretched out two protoplasmic tentacles and jumped forward, but the smell of blood coming from the door gave it a further stimulus.
Driven by desire, the pile of meat squirmed towards the source of the bloody smell, and the countless mouths on it began to mumble meaninglessly.
System prompt: You are affected by incoherence, and the perception judgment is successful.
The incoherence of the Horror is a supernatural ability. The whispers coming from his mouth have a psychic coercion effect, which is very close to the confusion spell of necromancy. Players will lose their physical coordination after the judgment fails.
Sherlock also relied on his relatively high perception attribute to dare to pull monsters like this.
While the other person was licking the blood, he ran back to the crane room, smashed the second glass bottle on the crane, and then pulled the crank switch to go up.
Even though the Dread Phage looks disgusting, its squirming speed is not much slower than that of ordinary people, especially in such a complex corridor.
Almost as soon as Sherlock reached the first floor, the opponent also climbed up along the rock wall, and a mouthful of spit burned rapidly in the air, emitting a strong flash of light.
System prompt: You are affected by strong light, your constitution fails to be judged, and you become blind.
This attack also caught Sherlock off guard. He only knew that the saliva of the Horror would burn when it came into contact with the air, forming a spell similar to fireball, but the illustration did not mention that there was a strong light judgment.
The basic movement in the half-cat form is okay, but it is a bit difficult to run in this unfamiliar terrain, especially since the Dreadphage has the ability to control the ground, so he can only change into the blue frog form.
He used the sound and the touch of his skin to avoid the quicksand and mud that appeared at his feet from time to time, as well as the tentacles that continued to extend.
ah!
It's a fear phagocytosis, run quickly!
Groove, who led it out!
He was fine, but the guard on the road suffered a disaster. He was wrapped in the six tentacles of the Horrible Phagocytosis Body, and the mouth on it could suck a person's blood in 2 seconds.
The chaos became more serious as the guards ran away and shouted, spreading from the crane room on the first floor to the warehouse.
Taiwen, the actual commander of this operation, is not here, and the drow priest has been tricked to death. At present, there is not even a single person in charge of the entire ruins. The only person with the highest status in name may be the mage Winks.
It's a pity that Winks's prestige doesn't seem to be very high, and his popularity isn't that great. Otherwise, if Sherlock transforms out now, he might be able to temporarily control the remaining guards to help him deal with the Dread Eater.
Now that he can't defeat him, he can only become an accomplice. With such a big weapon attracting attention in front of him, he assassinated four people in a row without being noticed. Don't be too happy to put away this experience gift pack.
When he finally saw that the remaining eight people had gathered together, he threw a bottle of Orc blood over and started chanting the Ice Mist spell.
The cold wind came suddenly, and faced with the extremely high judgment value of dragon language magic, the eight NPCs entered the freezing state before they could shout.
As for the terrifying Horrible Devourer, of course it was not affected by this. It just wrapped its body around the large lump of ice and began to feast on it.
"Eat, eat, I hope you go back to sleep when you are full." At this time, Sherlock suddenly thought of a problem. If the other party sucked blood HIGH and went to the third floor for extra food, it would be self-defeating.
But perhaps his good luck worked again. After sucking the eight people in front of him, the Dread Eater moved its reddish flesh back to its lair.
The remaining two NPCs at the entrance were successfully eliminated by Sherlock in a sneak attack. Then he only had to escort the captured traveling merchants back to the city, and his mission would be completed.
"Sherlock, I'm going to Locke Town, so I won't go with you." They brought everyone up, but the elf warrior didn't plan to go to Noisy Water City.
"Well, goodbye." That's what he said, but it is very likely that the two of them will never meet again in this life. After all, the game is so big and there are so many players. How many people have the opportunity to form a second team?
.
In the end, Sherlock drove the carriage and left alone. But after he was far away, Chicken Wings, who said he was going back to Locke Town, looked at the entrance of the cave, but turned around and went in again.
…
Having a carriage to escort him saved a lot of time, and Sherlock encountered no other accidents along the way and drove into the bustling city smoothly.
It's just that in the end, he still couldn't identify who was a member of the Crow Society. Anyway, he got the invitation and he didn't bother to pursue it.
"Sherlock, I have received the news. You did a great job this time. Are you interested in doing us a favor again?" Thacker handed over the invitation and said.
"I've been busy lately, so I probably won't have time." He didn't want to get too close to the Crow Society, let alone join it, so taking on their mission had no long-term benefit value. If he had the skills, he might as well go
What about the organization task of brushing Harper.
"It seems that you and I have no fate, but there is one more thing I want to remind you. You must bring a dance partner to Helena's banquet." The mission was rejected, and Thacker was not angry, but a little disappointed.
They have also been actively recruiting adventurers recently, but the performance of those newcomers was really poor, so when they saw this druid, they couldn't help but send out a test.
"Thank you." Sherlock thanked him and left.
He really didn't expect the dance partner thing, but it shouldn't be a problem with Riki being here. It's not a matter of brothers to attend a banquet with their relationship. He sent her a message requesting to meet and walked to the carriage alone.
go.
There were still a few days until Helena's banquet, and he planned to take advantage of this time to go to Yuanxing Lake for a stroll.
This famous lake in Faerûn is located on the northern border of the High Wasteland. It is known as the Pearl of the Desert. Its beauty has attracted countless pilgrims including humans, dwarves, and elves, and after their arrival, they will be fascinated by this legendary lake.
The crystal perfect lake is completely captivating.
Many bards could not believe that such beauty did not require special magical powers, so they made up stories about flooded temples, sunken Netherese ships, or lost civilizations beneath the lake.
These legends are naturally anecdotes in the eyes of NPCs, but they are different to adventurers. Who knows if these are clues to system settings.
Therefore, in less than a month after the game was launched, the players who drowned in Yuanxing Lake were able to circle the High Desert hand in hand.
