Although everyone gained nothing along the way, they could find from the goblins' research that Beric's research should have reached the final stage of in vivo experiments.
The tumor-covered dire rats and the abnormally huge potatoes were all the results of the goblins' experiments.
After passing through a large tree garden and cleaning up a few bugbears along the way, a few people came to a hall.
The entire hall was filled with a blood-like red glow. A huge dragon statue stood on the west side of the hall. On the ground in front of the dragon statue, dark red tiles drew a circle with a diameter of 5 feet. The inside of the circle
Full of mysterious runes.
"E. Serpeta Ravu Kalua Naiafosti." Similar to the previous Magic Gate, Sherlock's Level 5 Dragon Language has no difficulty in reading.
"'The power of arcane magic bathes my body', let me take a look at it with the eyes of arcane magic."
Different restrictions naturally have very different ways of opening them, but this time, as soon as Hagoromo's spell was released, a group of humanoid shadows came out from behind the statue.
Shadow (Elite): Level 25, health 22451, skill power curse, shadow derivation, incorporeal body, shadow claw.
When he saw the name of a creature like Shadow, Sherlock felt dizzy. They were both elite creatures, but the skeleton monster he just encountered was like a dire rat and a giant dragon compared to it.
Shadows are an aggregation of shadows. They hate light and life, and regard all living creatures as their mortal enemies.
Creatures touched by them will be affected by the Curse of Strength, randomly reducing their strength by 2 to 5 points. When the target's strength is reduced to 0, it will die directly and a shadow derivative controlled by him will be generated.
The most troublesome thing about them is that they are incorporeal. Their bodies and attacks can penetrate any natural defenses, armors and shields, and they are immune to all physical damage. Even if they are attacked by magic weapons or spells, they have a high chance of being immune to damage.
Fortunately, they encountered an elite monster this time. If it were a leader, they would all have to answer here today.
Shadow's first target was Hagoromo, who had the lowest strength attribute, and his figure floated to his side as soon as he moved.
This kind of creature cannot be stopped at all, because as long as it is released from them, the curse of power will be triggered, so the others can only pray that Hagoromo can hold on longer.
Ignoring physical damage, the thieves and warriors in the team can only help Hagoromo move around, and the main output falls on the paladins and druids.
Taragon's points are biased toward punishment, and he has only learned one or two sacred spells, and his output is very limited, so only Sherlock and Ember can really cause damage to the shadows.
In the blue frog form, Sherlock drew out his three-color, four-edged sword and rushed forward. With one swing of the sword, he dealt nearly 300 damage, attracting the opponent's attention in just a few strokes.
This has nothing to do with hatred. This shadow simply feels the threat of life. A single spell of the warlock in front of him can only destroy less than 100 of its health, but every basic attack of this druid can kill it.
Reaching 300. It is clear at a glance which of the two is more dangerous.
However, the situation did not improve after changing the attack target. The Druid didn't know what was going on. His reaction ability was so fast that he couldn't touch the opponent's body at all. The fastest Shadow Claw was also in vain.
At this moment, Sherlock was not as relaxed as he appeared. Shadow's incorporeal ability denied the possibility of using the terrain to move.
The opponent's speed is also much faster than his, and any large displacement or fast running will expose his own weaknesses.
Therefore, he can only rely on the dynamic vision brought by the frog eyes to predict the opponent's movements in advance to dodge, and the time must be just in the middle of the opponent's shot.
This operation is very difficult, but since he has done it, Sherlock will not make mistakes under normal circumstances. Except for the need for others to contain the thunder shuriken when it is cooling down, he alone carries the shadow's attack the rest of the time.
In the end, the shadow didn't even touch him, and its blood volume continued to drop under the tearing of the three-color four-edged sword. It let out a shrill scream and then turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated.
After picking up the Black Soul Stone on the ground, everyone's eyes focused on the giant dragon statue again. With a creature of Shadow's level guarding it, it must have ulterior secrets, and a Black Soul Stone couldn't send them away.
"Let's try to see if the buff spell has any effect on it." Hagoromo's Secret Eye told her some relevant information. The key word this time was buff spell.
Suddenly, all the status skills such as brute force, cat's grace, and nature's gift were thrown onto the statue.
In the end, I don't know which spell took effect. The statue emitted a spiritual light, and the wall behind it slowly opened, revealing a secret room.
Stone bookshelves were strewn across the secret room, and the scattered books had either been burned or torn to pieces and were piled up in the corners of the wall like garbage.
It seemed to be something like a study or a library. Sherlock flipped through it casually. Most of the written texts were in Elvish language, and a few were in Dragon language, but without exception, all of them recorded knowledge related to the dragon clan.
After rummaging through everything, a total of four things were sorted out.
A scroll of Fire Cloud Technique, a skill book of Malv's Acid Arrow, a notebook, and a well-preserved "Dragonology".
The last two things were written in dragon language, so others did not compete with Sherlock. After all, without him, there would be no harvest from this secret room.
"Dragonology": Players who are proficient in dragon language use post-dragon language level 1.
The skill level of Dragon Language will not only affect your ability to read and understand related text and images, but will also comprehensively improve the spell effect of Dragon Language magic.
Sherlock was not very willing to invest his skill points in linguistics, so of course the more the better, so he used it on the spot.
Ashadron's Notebook: It records Ashadron's crazy experiments.
This notebook contains dozens of pages of dragon language. After a brief glance, it seems to be related to demons. The specific crazy experiments can only be studied in detail after the adventure is over.
After packing up, everyone returned to the hall. Apart from this secret room, there was only one staircase leading to the lower level.
This is already the first floor of the castle, and further down is the basement.
When they passed through the damp and dilapidated stairs, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge square with a purple shimmer.
