Chapter 125 Is this also knowledge from another world?
…
Sizzle!
The sharp friction sound came before the scene. At that moment, it seemed as if there were thousands of brushes brushing the smooth floor in unison.
Matthew immediately reminded:
"Be careful, it's a swarm of insects!"
Samantha and Craig's reactions were also not slow. Almost at the same time, Samantha's body began to surge. Two seconds later, a strong owl beast with shiny feathers was stuck at the door.
She took the initiative to greet him and withstood the first wave of the Kuangse larvae!
And Clegg's body lit up with two strange lights, red and blue.
The red light is the apparent characteristic of the orc's unique "madness technique". Madness can make an orc become more powerful.
Only the blue light was something Matthew had never seen before.
…
"Insight: You noticed that Clegg (Juggernaut Candidate) used "Level One Madness" and "Juggernaut Meditation".
Level 1 Madness: Clegg's strength +2/agility +1, related judgments increased by 20%, and gained "vulnerable" and "reckless".
——Vulnerable: Clegg will lose an additional 15% of his health when he is damaged;
——Reckless: Clegg may gradually lose his mind during the battle.
Juggernaut Meditation: Practitioners of the Way of the Juggernaut have stronger self-control than ordinary orcs. Even during the period of madness, they can maintain a calm mind and a clear state during meditation.
The 'recklessness' in Clegg has been removed."
…
This is equivalent to enjoying the high attribute bonus brought by madness and being immune to the biggest side effect of madness.
As for "vulnerable".
The Juggernaut is not a tank originally. It is a serious profession with high damage, high resistance, high immunity, good at melee combat but squishy.
Despite the fact that Clegg is an orc and looks burly, her health points are actually not much higher than Matthew after quantification.
The real strength of Juggernaut is that he is a triangular warrior with full dodge, resistance and output.
So among the group of people.
The only one who is qualified for the front-line position is Samantha's transformed moonkin.
The two women have obviously been working together for a long time.
The moonkin was stuck near the gate and resisted the first wave of impact. Clegg waved her two long and thin knives and shuttled back and forth among the insects.
She kills insects extremely efficiently, just like a meat grinder chopping meat.
Soon.
The first wave of bugs was wiped clean by her.
But no one relaxed, because the movement in the gate was still continuing. Not only were the Crazy Se larvae approaching, but there were also probably many infected bodies and even the Crazy Se guards were gathering in this direction.
In order to relieve the pressure on the female orc Clegg.
Laila and A Bing stepped forward, each blocking one direction. While plundering the formation for Samantha and Craig, they were also responsible for killing some fish that slipped through the net.
Of course Matthew was not idle either.
As early as the first time Samantha transformed, he started tearing up the scroll——
The tenacity of the bear; the power of the bull; the elegance of the cat; the wisdom of the owl...anything that can improve the attributes will be given to the orc female sword master.
Sword protection; negative energy shield; thorn shield... In terms of tankiness, Matthew also filled Samantha.
Plus Samantha’s own “hardened feathers”.
The "natural armor" of this owl beast is almost 13 points, almost approaching that of a shield guardian with a small shield.
Just tearing off this scroll will cost you a little over 200 gold coins.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel sad.
But once the battle breaks out, Matthew will never save money, not to mention that his pockets are still full because of the A1 project.
A few days ago, he went to the Alliance Mall to purchase goods and found that the prices there were indeed cheaper than those at the Crucible House, and the quality was good.
In addition to adding a bunch of scrolls for combat.
Matthew also took down the "Dragon Fire Talisman" that he had longed for.
With this thing, Matthew's winning rate against mage units will be greatly improved.
Just after tearing up the scroll.
Matthew suddenly found that he had nothing to do——
The gate was too stuck by the owl beast, and his vision was limited. Apart from adding buffs to his teammates and symbolically throwing a "Frost Path" on the ground to slow down the bugs, he really couldn't do much.
Of course, Matthew had no compunction about this.
He knew that the scrolls he tore off would significantly improve the combat power of the front row.
"The fighting style of a real spellcaster should be so boring but elegant."
Matthew paddled the water with peace of mind.
However, this scene was quickly captured by Ella.
"Matthew, you seem to be as laid-back as me."
She stopped on Matthew's shoulder and beeped softly.
Matthew immediately retorted:
"No way!"
Just then, a man with several rusty door panels wrapped around his body rushed out of the door and was guarding wildly!
Although those door panels were stained with rust, they were unexpectedly strong. Coupled with the terrain, the orc female swordsman was unable to kill it for a while!
The owl beast that Samantha transformed into fought with it a few times, and she staggered a little.
Druid is not a pure frontline player after all.
Even with the protection of "hardened feathers", Samantha couldn't resist it.
When Matthew saw this, he immediately raised his hand and pointed the tip of the dead wood staff at the enemy.
The next second.
He tried to recall Rhaegar's face in his mind.
Whoosh.
A gray light shot out smoothly.
"Dissociation Technique"!
The gray light hit a door panel, which melted silently, and a large piece of red and white rotten flesh was immediately exposed on the Kuangse guard's chest.
Clegg took advantage of the opportunity and pounced forward, inserting both knives into the Kuangse guard's chest, and then smoothly cut them out in two directions.
Whoosh whoosh!
In the flash of white light, the Crazy Se guard was dismembered into pieces by her. Judging from the technique, she was indeed very skilled.
But in the end, it was Matthew's addition of "Esdra's Claw" that ended the life of the Crazy Se guard.
"Look, critical damage!"
Matthew made a joke to Ella.
Ella curled her lips disdainfully.
Instead, Clegg took the time to turn around and praise:
"Nice job."
This flattered Matthew.
However, he also felt in his heart that these two spells were released just right.
The dissociation spell breaks through the armor, and Esdrael's Claw ends.
In Ella's opinion, this process is an understatement, but only teammates in the front row know how timely and thirst-quenching this kind of spell support can be.
Another thing Matthew is satisfied with his performance is——
He gradually mastered the rhythm of releasing the spells he learned in battle.
For Matthew.
The spells given by the system are just like pressing skills when playing games. They can be mastered in one click, such as those low-level Druid spells obtained by completing tasks.
But when you cast the spells you have learned, you must follow the actual rules of spell casting.
Just like he and Rhaegar described.
He must remain highly focused during the battle and overcome various discomforts in order to successfully cast the spell.
This process is not simple.
That's why he was more willing to use the wilderness form to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.
But it's not Matthew's character to stand still. He hopes to master something of his own. He doesn't want to be a guy who is useless without the system.
As of now.
He is already on the right path.
The rest is the accumulation of time and experience.
"I hope that the next time I release the dissociation technique, I won't need to recall Rhaegar's face."
Matthew thought from the bottom of his heart.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the battle near the gate is gradually coming to an end.
Crazy Se guards and infected bodies fell one after another.
Only a large number of larvae were left crawling out of the passage, trying to infect the living organisms in front of them.
Although the Kuangse larvae were unable to cause harm to everyone, they did slow down their progress.
As more and more insects gathered near the gate, some insects even crowded towards Matthew.
Matthew waited and watched for a while and decided to take action to clean up the mess:
"I'll count to three and you guys will hide behind me."
As he spoke, he took out a black umbrella as long as his little finger from his bag and flicked it.
The little umbrella was suspended in the air, turning over a dozen times, and its size was getting bigger and bigger.
Not long after.
The black umbrella turned into a translucent, bullet-shaped single-sided defensive shield that was enough to cover five to ten people!
…
"Tip: You used "Rodrick's Magic Umbrella" and you gained a 180-degree magic shield (the strength is approximately equal to a level 4 spell)"
…
Roderick's Magic Umbrella.
This is the second magic prop that Matthew recently purchased. Together with the Dragon Fire Talisman, it cost Matthew tens of thousands of gold coins in total.
This magical item originated from the hand of Roderick, the Guardian of the North.
Roderick is a master of both prophecy and protection.
The magic umbrella he originally made was able to withstand legendary spells.
And what Matthew bought was the one made by Rodrick who was responsible for screwing in the factory - no, it was a high imitation made by the apprentices of enchantment.
But this thing also costs more than 5,000 gold.
The magic umbrella has constant reduction and magnification spells, so it is easy to carry;
After unfolding, it can resist 5 level 4 pure attack spells, and the effect is very solid;
The magic umbrella also has the function of camping in the wild.
After opening it, a tent with space folding technology can be transformed into a tent in situ. The space in the tent is not small, and it is convenient for everything;
In addition, Matthew also encountered a discount promotion when purchasing——
Buy a magic umbrella and get three free trial coupons for Roderick's Castle of Prophecy.
Matthew had heard about this for a long time.
If he can get three prophecy spells for free, he will naturally not miss it.
After the reminder is completed.
Others in the team agreed.
Only the orc female sword master said proudly:
"I know you want to use magic to clear the place, but I'm not afraid of magic, just use it!"
Matthew didn't persuade her either.
After shouting 321, Laila and A Bing fled directly into the shadows. Samantha, who had the previous experience, also turned into a leopard and jumped back in time. Ella even hid behind Matthew.
The next second.
…
"Hint: You cast a tempered spell—
Corpse Explosion Technique (Moon Fire Reconciliation Technique): During each corpse explosion, the corpse will splash a ball of moon fire around and cause burning damage to all attached objects!"
…
boom!
The white light symbolizing the moonfire and the gray light representing the corpse explosion blend together.
Immediately a pleasant music was composed near the gate.
Crackling.
A large amount of plasma and body fluids happily sprayed in the air.
Ten minutes later.
The magic umbrella in front of Matthew has been covered with abstract paintings of red and green.
And on the ground.
There is not a single living insect left.
…
"Tip: You released a perfect corpse explosion, and you obtained the following elements——
Corpse Explosion*6 (Death Realm)
Blasphemy*2 (Holy Domain)"
…
“Profanity actually belongs to the sacred realm?”
Matthew was very puzzled.
But what confused him even more was that he used magic to reconcile the corpse explosion and moon fire, but it turned out that he had committed blasphemy——
After all, it was the corpse explosion that desecrated the moon fire.
Or did Yue Huoxu desecrate the corpse explosion?
Matthew never liked to think about such philosophical issues, so he just glanced at it and brought his attention back to reality.
At that moment, he put away Roderick's magic umbrella.
Go towards the door.
When passing by the orc female sword master, Matthew did not forget to throw a "spotless" on her body.
The slightly embarrassed look on the latter's face was immediately relieved.
Samantha chuckled and went over to whisper to her.
Matthew stood at the gate and looked inside.
Directly in front is a hall. The bugs have been killed in the hall, and a passage extends from the left and right sides of the hall.
The passage on the right is deeply stuck into the underground rock formation, and is probably impassable.
All they can take is the passage on the left.
That passage is more like a corridor.
Rooms are arranged very symmetrically on both sides. Some room doors are open, while others are closed.
The corridor smelled of decay.
However, there are not many corpses here, probably because all the flesh and blood that can be parasitized has become part of the Kuangser Zerg.
Everyone discussed for a while and decided to proceed step by step. First, clean the rooms on both sides of the corridor to ensure that no fish slipped through the net.
Craig and Samantha are on the left.
Matthew and Leila take care of the right side.
A Bing and Ella were on guard duty.
The four people quickly took action.
Matthew pushed open the first door next to the corridor. The furnishings in the room were quite neat, but the furniture everywhere was covered with a layer of dust.
This is probably the laboratory staff dormitory.
There is a separate shower room upon entering, and a small cooking station on the left. A few steps further, there is a single bed, a small bookcase, and a 1.5-meter desk, which complete the room.
Most of the furnishings.
Laila did a quick search.
Apart from some personal belongings, nothing was gained.
Matthew found a stack of green banknotes in the drawer. This was obviously the currency of the Antu Empire. It was temporarily useless in Irondor, but Matthew still put it in his pocket. Maybe it would be useful in the future.
when.
The two left quickly and went to the second room.
Then the third and fourth...
Walk through the rooms one by one.
Not a single insect was encountered.
Apart from a few stacks of green banknotes, the harvest was very little.
But Matthew is very patient. He knows that this is part of the battle and he must ensure that his defense is secure in order to advance better.
Finally, things took a turn for the better when he arrived in the ninth room.
As soon as he entered the door, Matthew noticed that this room was much larger, almost two to three times the size of the previous rooms.
There is a bathtub in the shower room, and there is a living room a few steps forward. There are several flower pots in the center of the living room. The flowers in the flower pots are naturally withered, but the two oil paintings hanging on the wall highlight the status of the owner of the room.
.
The bed in the master bedroom is also a double bed. He looks like he is at least a senior researcher.
Matthew searched with great expectation, and found something for him!
In the open safe.
He found a large bundle of green banknotes, gold bars as thick as two thumbs, and many pieces of jewelry stained with dust.
Matthew pocketed them, knowing that the two hundred gold coins he had just torn off were back again. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Laila to take away the safe as well.
besides.
He also found a very mini flashlight, a pen without ink, a diary, and a very mini undead construct on his desk.
After a brief sense, Matthew knew that these things were extraordinary.
…
"Tip: You have obtained a psychic flashlight (unidentified/powerful knowledge);
You get a fully automatic fountain pen (commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Antu Empire);
You obtain the diary of the deputy director of the laboratory;
You have obtained "Constructing the Undead" (the shrinking spell is constant)"
…
This thing is not a figure!
This is a true undead construct!
Matthew looked carefully and found that his base was a skeleton soldier with a thin layer of exoskeleton armor on the outside. There were construction runes on the armor as shown in the picture. It was unclear whether it was magic or technology, giving it the aesthetic feeling of a stitched monster.
.
"If the reduction technique is constant, I will have the opportunity to enlarge it and study its specific structure."
Matthew was extremely excited.
Immediately, he studied the flashlight and pen again. Unfortunately, like the psychic staff, the former probably requires a high-level appraisal scroll to see its use, while the latter requires more knowledge of the Antu Empire to judge its value.
finally.
Matthew opened the diary.
Unlike the previous researcher, the deputy director of the laboratory named Standron obviously took a concise and to the point approach.
He keeps a diary but is often lazy.
His handwriting is even more horrifyingly sloppy, with lots of typos. Matthew often needs to read carefully and combine it with the context to understand what he is talking about.
…
"Corrupt Science Agency!
As soon as I made progress in my research on the Necronomicon Technique, the results were taken away by those bastards from the Emperor Planet.
They parachuted in a new project leader, and they transferred me directly due to overt and covert fights. I was obviously an expert in constructing undead, but now I was sent to study some bullshit psychic energy!
Psychic?
I know shit about psychic powers!
I must write a letter to report those bastards who are seeking public benefit for personal gain, otherwise it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!
Forget it, let's stay anonymous. After all, I am a family man and I cannot be as careless and reckless as a young person.
Forget it, just don't write it. If they find out it's me, I might lose this job.
My children may not be able to go to a good school because of this, my wife will stay away from me, I will become a space vagabond, and eventually I may be captured by the Necron force I founded myself.
I will be a part of them after I die.
How ironic.
Fuck the empire!
Destroy it!"
…
"A new batch of monkeys came to the laboratory today.
Come on.
They are said to be monkeys, but they are actually a group of space refugees with no identity. Because they have been wandering around the emperor's circle, they were captured and used as experimental subjects.
At first the empire would be secretive.
Or say they are volunteers.
Or say they are death row prisoners.
Now, they no longer pretend, they directly say that these people are a special species of monkeys, so that we can conduct experiments without any psychological burden.
Have you ever seen a monkey that speaks as fluently as a human?
I have not seen.
Fuck the empire!
Destroy it!"
…
"It is said that a big monkey will come tomorrow, I don't know what the slang is.
in a bad mood today.
Just fuck the empire!"
…
"Oh My God!
That's not some monkey, that's something created by God!
I feel like I've caught inspiration.
We seem to have found a shortcut to the spiritual path of the Giza people!
God bless you.
I'm in a good mood today and don't want to worry about the empire anymore.
It’s just one day, it won’t happen next time.”
…
When the diary reaches this point, the second half is completely empty.
Matthew didn't know what happened to the deputy director later.
But things seemed to have turned around during that time.
"What divine creation allowed them to find a shortcut to study psychic energy?"
Matthew was curious.
He knew that the Antu Empire must have made some progress, otherwise he would not be able to find these psychic items.
I just don’t know why they were destroyed by the insect swarm.
While thinking, Matthew closed the diary and just stepped out of the room.
Suddenly, a long burst of singing came from the end of the corridor.
There was darkness there, as if a gentle and pitiful woman was calling to herself.
Matthew stirred up his energy and successfully exempted himself from the effects of charm and mind control attached to the singing.
But the next second.
He heard movement from the room opposite. Samantha suddenly opened the door and came out. She said to Matthew with bright eyes:
"Did you hear that? The goddess is calling us!"
Said.
She walked steadily towards the darkness.
Matthew looked at each other as Craig came out of the door behind her.
The female orc swordmaster made a quick decision, rushed behind Samantha and slapped her down.
Samantha was knocked unconscious.
"Well, this is also a way."
Although Matthew felt that the attack was a bit harsh, he also secretly praised Clegg for his decisiveness.
"Must be the Zerg Queen!"
Clegg said emphatically:
"That's a kind of monster that's very good at mind control. It doesn't have enough immunity and can easily be controlled by the mind."
"We have to find a room and tie up Samantha. I'm afraid she will lose control after she wakes up."
Matthew nodded:
"give it to me."
As he said that, he and Craig took Samantha to the deputy director's room. Matthew took out a piece of magic rope and threw it to A Bing.
When A Bing got the rope, his soul was burning brightly. He took a step forward, bent down and started to bind Samantha tightly in just a few dozen seconds!
…
"Tip: Your summoned soldier used the ability "Master of Rope Art""
…
Craig looked at the tied Samantha silently, always feeling that something was strange.
Ella asked directly:
"Why do your skeleton soldiers have this binding technique?"
"Could it be that this is also knowledge from another world?"
Matthew wanted to answer.
Just at this time.
The singing sounded again.
Matthew and Craig's expressions both changed.
Because that voice seems to be getting closer and closer to everyone!
"I'm going to kill her!"
Craig took out his two knives and rushed outside.
Matthew immediately asked Ella and Laila to stay here to guard Samantha, and he followed with A Bing.
