The curved sword, which was like the distorted reflection of a crescent moon in the sea, suddenly struck the slightly hunched back of the deformed spider. It contained the brain that all deformed spiders relied on most, and their activities and body control all depended on it.
However, the next second, the back of the blade turned into a huge, bull-like black beetle. Its upper jaw almost touched the stalactites on the ceiling. When it shook its head, the sharp cone-like stones fell like rain.
.
——"Lightning Transformation!"
It was in pain, as the vibrations from its wings and belly proved.
But it can be seen that although the hard carapace on its back has been cut off, the damage is minimal compared to the attack's weak points.
Damn it! It still escaped disaster.
While Woody was chopping, data about this type of advanced war shapeshifter's shape-shifting spider came to mind.
"Deformed Spider [Magical Beast] (Level 3)."
"Challenge level 9, creature level 13, with natural deformation ability."
"The highest attribute is 22 points, the lowest attribute is 12 points, and the total attribute value is 90-100 points."
"Special expertise: spider web, thought erosion, multiple transformation, lightning transformation."
"Challenge Difficulty: A-."
…
He knows clearly.
This career advancement of the war shapeshifter is enough to make the shape-shifting spider, a shape-shifting creature with only challenge level 4 in the Monster Manual, become a terrifying aberration that rivals the terrifying aberration incarnated by the profane priest that Woody encountered earlier.
Challenge level 9, close to level 10.
The reason why the shape-shifting spider in the previous life ranked among the top ten monsters suffered by novices in the Underdark is not only because this creature is elusive, likes to hide in the dark and make sneak attacks, but also uses intelligence and spells, and also has extremely changeable combat skills.
.
The combat experience brought by each shape-shifting spider may be completely different. It is very likely that you have just adapted to the fighting method of this shape-shifting spider, and you are thinking of following the same pattern to deal with the next one, and then suddenly stretch your neck, and the change is exactly like
The head of the kuo-toa allows you to say goodbye to your thoughts.
Woody now knows very well that this shape-shifting spider should be the strongest underground monster he has ever encountered.
none of them.
It was just a sneak attack that gave me a slight upper hand. If I really wanted to let him use it, his combat skills were really not enough to defeat him.
Otherwise, why would he attack its weakness so quickly? Otherwise, he knew how powerful it was, so he took advantage of it and wanted to defeat it quickly.
A slight second of hesitation may bring huge changes to the current battle situation.
After all, there is a consensus in the multiverse to deal with shapeshifters. You never know what kind of creature's characteristics it will use to fight against it.
Facing the raging fire, he turned into a fire giant that was unharmed in the flames. Facing the freezing ice, he turned into a polar ice worm with nearly full resistance to various elements. Just like just now, this shape-shifting spider was still fighting.
The idea of transforming into an incorporeal creature was to avoid the knife swung by Woody.
To a certain extent, most classes with shapeshifting are more rogue than demon hunters.
The latter can be said to be a gift, while the former is directly plundering and imitating its origins.
For example, Tansen's transformation technique, the most famous among mages, is based on the method of transformation, transforming various resistant monsters to enhance the magical spells of melee combat mages.
Moreover, various transformation specialties allow them to completely transform the structure of their bodies in just one movement.
In game terms, there is no delay at all and the transformation is completed in the blink of an eye.
It is worth mentioning that when he transforms into an animal, even if you dissect him into one hundred and eight pieces, the bones and blood in his body still come from a real animal. This is why some people who are proficient in transformation
There are reasons why mages have children of various races. When transforming, blood and genes can be inherited.
The most powerful person Woody has ever seen is a legendary druid. He can even transform into a Quetzalcoatlus with a strength and agility of over 30 points and a size comparable to an ancient dragon.
It is said that it was obtained in a lost land, which is a magical plane in the New World similar to Ashenrant, and it is said that only by completing the trial under the auspices of the demigod spirit can one obtain the ancient transformation.
Generally speaking, the peak forms of most druids or shape-shifting races in the material world are nothing more than a few monsters at the top of the biological chain, dragons or giants, and even more abnormal ones are golems...
The attack failed, and the Morphing Spider counterattacked at the same time. The Morphing Spider transformed into a giant underground beetle, and directly used the most terrifying savage charge in a narrow environment.
The giant stag beetle, which was sharp and hard and had a shiny black chitinous shell, pounced directly in Woody's direction.
But what Luzani didn't expect was that its pair of large fang-like horns and powerful jointed limbs didn't come into contact with the soft human body at all. Instead, they threw themselves at the gravel, and the only sensations in her arms were hard stones and
It's not a grinding stone.
Apparently, that damn human had escaped into the earth.
Lu Zani's first reaction was to burrow into the soil as well, but the chill that came from her back made her hesitate for a moment.
just in case……
After all, the intimidation brought by the edge of the sword overwhelmed the New Year who killed him. She retreated and did not choose to escape into the land. Instead, she carefully observed the surrounding soil and judged its condition based on the tremor feedback from the joints.
Approximate direction.
However, the beetle's sensing ability is far inferior to the blessing given by the spell, and the improvement of strength and physique has greatly reduced Luzani's agility and other attributes, which are far worse than before.
Feeling that she was in a dilemma, Luzani was quite angry and used her horns to clip off a support rock pillar that was as big as a human body to show its strength.
At the same time, the black eyeballs, which were not much bigger than fists, were observing the surroundings steadily, as if guarding against the next sneak attack.
The pain that felt like his soul was being cut, and the burning pain in his back were still fresh in his memory. If it hadn't mastered the skill of lightning transformation, which allowed him to transform his body in his mind, he might not have really fallen here today.
Under the hateful human sword.
However, what it didn't notice was that while it was alertly paying attention to its surroundings, a pale hand stretched out from the soil, using the gap formed by the accumulation of stones to cover up the pain that the hand was groping for on the two human corpses.
act.
Yes, this is Woody's second plan.
If the attack on the weak point fails, then he will definitely not be fond of fighting. He has experienced the power of the war shapeshifter in his previous life. When playing with continuous output and terrain that is not conducive to his performance, there is nothing he can do in a narrow cave.
Fight it to the death.
This is also the reason why he did not cancel Thor's stone technique, his purpose was to "miss a single hit and get out of the battle".
Moreover, he looked at the deformed spider that had been severely injured and psychologically affected by his sharp blade.
Woody naturally responded accordingly. Since it was not in a hurry to find him, he still had a certain amount of time to plunder the rare objects carried by Marco and Logan before it reacted.
His speed is very fast, but the reaction speed of the shape-shifting spider is not slow either.
After noticing the movement on the other side of the corpse, her IQ seemed to have regained the high ground, and she immediately understood the intention of that damn human being.
It roared and rushed forward again, waving its jointed limbs and giant horns together, as if it wanted to tear apart everything in front of it, but its speed was always three points slower, or the timing of the damn human's grasp was very critical.
The giant black beetle that got stuck lifted up the stalactite rubble that had fallen on the corpse and then disappeared.
Next, naturally, the giant catalpa beetle protected the two corpses under its body like hens hatching eggs while guarding against sneak attacks from around them.
However, due to the sudden appearance of the blade, she has never dared to change back to its original form. She only dared to maintain the appearance of a giant stag beetle. Its hard shell and body gave her a small sense of security, and it could only wait nearby.
, it was not until the next recovery of her lightning expertise that she dared to transform into a humanoid creature again, but this time, her fierce and ferocious face was even more gloomy.
The movement around her was quiet, and the body beneath her was already cold. Luzani began to check the results of this battle.
The purpose of her coming here was to recover the "bait" given to the Rutov family, and then take the opportunity to collect the two good magical items they were carrying.
She groped for the body of the middle-aged but graceful Marco. Even though the blood gushing from his neck had dried up and his angry look was even more shuddering in this dark environment, it did not hinder her at all.
Actions.
Quickly and concisely, she touched what she wanted. Having once pretended to be the housekeeper of the Rutov family for a period of time, she naturally knew the placement of various accessories as a master, and this magic ring that can be used for underwater breathing is
I've been seen by him many times.
It seems that the human being didn't know the goods and didn't even take this thing.
Lu Zani felt relieved when she found the ring. However, when she fumbled for the body of another person, Logan, within a short while, an extremely vicious roar came from inside the closed cave.
"Damn surface people! I'm going to feed you to the spiders!"
…
We have returned to an alley somewhere on the surface, where the sun is shining.
Regardless of the dirt covering his body, Woody found the waiting carriage directly, got into the carriage, and began to sort out his underground harvest.
Looking at the mess of things collected from the ring of the most valuable spellcaster, Logan, Woody fell into deep thought.
too messy!
There were all kinds of aristocratic supplies, clothing, and Woody even saw a lot of women's personal belongings... After sorting through it for a while, Woody found some valuable things.
There are palm-sized gold ornaments, exquisitely carved, and as thick as a finger, as well as some scattered exquisite silver ornaments. If melted, it should be worth three to four hundred gold coins. If not melted, it would be worth a lot.
But Woody is not interested in these, he is more interested in spell scrolls and magical objects.
He found the staff that the shape-shifting spider wanted, but Woody did not put it in his arms. He had a better place to go for this thing that seemed to leave coordinates. What was left was a somewhat familiar bend.
Curved conch, Woody was slightly startled when he saw this thing.
this is not……
How could things belonging to those sea elves be in human hands?
Woody recognized at a glance that the curved conch in front of him was a strange marine object unique to sea elves.
——"Sea Breeze Conch"
——"Item effect: You put the conch into the water to create a room the size of a bedroom. The entrance is located on the plane directly above the conch shell. This entrance is 3 meters wide and 5 meters high. Only the people you designate can enter it.
You can enter it, and when you enter it, the entrance will be closed and disappear. You can open and close the entrance at will. What others see when entering the entrance is a fist-sized snail shell. The lighting inside the room changes between darkness and day.
The temperature changes between 10°C and 30°C, which can be adjusted freely when you use the strange object."
——"The creatures of the sea will choose their own habitat."
It can be used to have an effect similar to the "Duncan's Mansion Technique". When released in the water, it can create a space the size of a bedroom, which cannot store things, but can accommodate 2-4 people to rest, making it an excellent place to avoid danger.
However, the only weakness is that it will be detected by detection magic. Unlike the mansion spell that directly creates a demiplane, if the shell is discovered, the people living inside are also detected.
Of course, in the wilderness, it is not easy to encounter a spell caster. What's more, there is no spell caster who releases detection magic all the time, unless you deliberately target him.
And if you deliberately target him, this kind of shell that can only be used as a tent in the wild and a safe environment is naturally useless.
It can only be said that the flaws are not concealed. Woody was still in a good mood after obtaining this familiar rare object. He then sorted it out and found that in addition to the conch shell, the income from the light scroll this time was already very good, including six scrolls of one-ring spells.
, although they are all magic missiles, they are enough for him to have a good effect when needed.
As for the monster summoning scrolls of the second and third rings, Woody could only say that the more, the better. However, it seems that due to the rush of preparation, there are not many scrolls in Logan's ring. There are only two of the second and third rings.
There is only one picture just now.
not bad.
After sorting it out carefully, he transferred some things that should be taken to his own dimensional ring, and put those that should not be taken back into Logan's ring.
He now plans to go to the secret shop to buy some things and get rid of these things that should not be kept here.
Thinking of this, Woody's lips couldn't help but form a smile.
…
Half an hour later, Woody walked out of the secret shop in the trade area under the welcome of the activation door. This time, except for the working capital of nearly one thousand gold coins, he had nothing left, except to buy some
He spent most of his money preparing for the next underground operation.
The four highest and most destructive spell scrolls he could use almost wiped out his savings, and even used the goods he had just received underground.
——"Scroll of Fireball"
Woody carefully placed the last one-foot-long maroon parchment scroll on a stand in the dimensional ring specially designed to hold scrolls, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the last life, many unlucky people had their scrolls blown up before they could even tear them open. The magic power sealed inside was enough to blow up half the street.
After placing it, Woody stopped worrying and went straight to the winery.
