"There is something big under the swamp, be careful."
As soon as Sherlock summoned the Clay Eagle, he immediately warned his companions: "When I summoned the Clay Eagle, I felt a lot of pressure coming from the swamp."
The "feel" when summoning the clay eagle was supposed to be like pulling out a few lumps of dough from the half-kneaded dough. But Sherlock felt that when he was pulling, the dough was squeezing his hand from all directions.
…
That usually means that there is something huge swimming in the swamp, which is exerting pressure in the swamp. Or there is some kind of barrier underneath the swamp.
Just in case, Sherlock first reminds you of the most dangerous possibility.
And soon, his reminder came into use——
The ground suddenly began to shake violently, causing Sherlock to stumble and almost fall.
At this moment, a gray thread came out from behind him and hung him on the tree.
Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could thank him, the ground began to shake more violently for the second time——
It was a strange and huge creature that was fifteen or six meters long and carried an oval carapace.
It looked like a giant tortoise, a turtle, or a cockroach. The widest carapace was about six or seven meters long, and its volume was six times larger than Haina's bedroom. And the trees were directly hit by it.
come out.
Its head was made of ferocious white bones, but the gaps between the bones were completely blocked by moist and soft mud, making its head look like a giant taro.
Its limbs are not as flat as a turtle, but thick and powerful - also made of white bones and clay. The carapace on its body is made of thick black rock.
As soon as it appeared, it swallowed a headless undead that was close to it. It made a crunching sound like it was chewing some kind of crunchy snack.
Aiwass suddenly became serious.
“This is a Mud Turtle,” Aiwass warned, “at least level four—and this thing lives in groups!”
This thing is a classic social mob in version 3.0.
The intensity is not high, but it is disgusting... because they are mine-triggered monsters. After stepping on one of them, a large area will stand up from all directions, surrounding people in an instant. And it is so large that it is easy to
It will separate the team... and if the fragile profession is left alone, it will still be very dangerous even if it can be crushed.
Generally speaking, the bigger this thing is, the more powerful it is, but without comparison with other mud turtles, Aiwass is not sure whether this thing is large or medium-sized.
It also has a sixth-level version of the elite monster called the Dragon Skeleton Turtle - after devouring a large number of bones, it turns into a dragon-headed undead wearing a tortoise shell. Although it is not a dragon, it can also spit out dragon breath.
.
...but this thing was considered a miscellaneous soldier in 3.0, but now it is no longer!
Facing a giant tortoise who is two meters tall when lying down, three or four meters tall when standing up, and fifteen or six meters long... It's really hard for them to deal with it.
The mud turtle is obviously very aggressive.
As soon as it appeared, it let out an extremely unpleasant roar.
The sound was like mud being stuck in the throat, but it triggered a very terrifying change.
Earthy yellow ripples spread from its body in circles around it, softening the originally soft mud and making it more viscous and soft. It can no longer exert its strength normally, and it is so slippery and disgusting. But it can get out of the mud.
During free swimming, the speed actually became faster.
Fortunately, Lily was there - she reacted immediately and hung her teammates on the tree one by one. She stepped on the branch and let the gray spider webs fix her body.
When the mud turtle crashed into the tree under someone, Lily immediately swung her fingers and swung the companion on the tree to another place.
At least they should be safe until the surrounding trees are knocked down...probably.
"What's its weakness?"
Sherlock asked Aiwass urgently.
For some reason, he subconsciously felt that Aiwass should understand.
It should be said that as expected...
Aiwass replied without hesitation: "There is a large piece in the middle of the back! But the thickness of the carapace on the back is close to one meter..."
If the level of this thing's melee profession is high, it can be killed directly by climbing up and stabbing one by one.
But now, at least Lily holding a dagger, Haina with bare hands...or the young griffon are obviously not easy to deal with it. It's not that it can't be defeated, but the attack distance is too short, and it's really difficult to defeat it.
Don't wear that sticky, slippery, mud-covered rock armor.
Even among monsters, this thing would be considered a dung monster... Its hard shell is covered with a thick layer of mud, and it can continuously create dirt, and it can slide around and run very fast. If given
It can regain blood if it eats undead.
The most important thing is that the mud armor behind it is not an undead organization, but a pure rock. Even Aiwass' purification cannot purify it.
Aiwass hesitated for a moment, whether he should directly summon the Flame-Contrary Butterfly.
... But the problem is not just as simple as hitting a monster and then opening it up.
It's because this is a swamp or a dense forest. There is marsh gas everywhere, and this forest is connected to the surrounding mountains and forests.
If the turret-type summoning object Paraflame Butterfly is used here... it may directly trigger a large-scale wildfire.
But Aiwass made up his mind.
If they are really in danger, they will never hold back even if they pay this price...
"Let me try it first!"
Sherlock shouted decisively.
——In this complicated situation, it is time for the mage to take action.
He casually grabbed a clay eagle from the side and turned it into pure elements.
Aiwass reminded: "Don't hit it with earth attribute attacks!"
"You didn't tell me earlier!"
Sherlock cursed: "Lily, throw the wine in my backpack over here!"
He is too small now, so his luggage is always placed on Lily's side.
And Lily responded very quickly.
Sherlock had already put those things in categories, and she easily found the glass wine bottle that was about one finger high and looked like lipstick.
She quickly threw the thing towards Sherlock. Sherlock directly raised the earth element in his hand and rolled it over.
The brittle glass was shattered in an instant. When the glass and the alcohol in it were mixed into the vortex in Sherlock's hand, a violent change immediately occurred. A thick flame rolled out from it, crackling and burning.
Aiwass recognized Sherlock's spell.
This is "Sharp Rock Spear", an earth attribute spell.
But Sherlock has obviously learned the secret of attribute transformation. He now uses alcohol to mix part of the fire attribute mana to cast this spell.
——But can this thing penetrate tortoise shell?
But Aiwass quickly realized that Sherlock was not trying to penetrate the tortoise shell, but to penetrate through the flesh part!
Rocks can't be walked through, but skeletons can still walk through mud!
In this case...
Aiwass had an idea.
He took out two tubes of chamomile essential oil and helichrysum essential oil from his pocket, crushed their stoppers, and then poured the two tubes of essential oil directly into the palm of his left hand.
"I pay homage to Si Zhu, the god whose holy number is three, the god who binds the body with sin thorns, the god who burns the body to chase away the darkness——"
Aiwass chanted loudly: "Give me the purifying fire!"
The essential oil in his hand burned immediately, emitting a golden flame.
And Aiwass quickly covered Sherlock's right hand with the burning flame in his left hand, startling him.
"you--"
Sherlock was about to curse, but found that his spell was not disturbed.
Instead, the golden flame was sucked in, accelerating the formation of his spell.
Finally, the flame in Shylock's hand was restrained into an arrow without a tail.
But its tip burned with golden fire.
Sherlock glanced at Aiwass in disbelief, then gritted his teeth and released this spell he had never seen before.
I saw a golden light flying by - Sherlock used his own will to guide the hit of the spell.
It drilled through the head of the Mud Skeleton Turtle. The purifying fire melted the bones instantly, and the remaining mud could not stop Sherlock's spell at all.
It easily penetrated into the body of the mud turtle.
After a while, it swayed and fell down. Dots of fire could be seen bursting out from its body, and the bones were quietly burning with golden flames, gradually turning into nothingness. The mud lost its support and gradually melted.
It quickly lost its shape, leaving only the huge turtle shell and the mud blocking the five gaps.
"It's really dangerous..."
Aiwass sighed: "It seems that we..."
Just as he was about to say something, he saw a prompt appear in front of him:
[Kill the fourth level monster and gain 26 free experience points]
Um?
Aiwass suddenly raised his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
--has experience?
"...It seems we have to help the villagers clean up. Otherwise they will be in danger."
