The most difficult part of killing manticores is how to control them.
There are nine adult and young manticores, 2 of which have elite level wizard strength, 3 have the same strength as veteran wizards, and the remaining 4 are basically new wizards.
With such strength, they can definitely crush Greem's team. After all, they only have Greem, an explosive elite wizard, and Gargamel and Lin Yao, two veteran wizards!
As for the other adventurers and pharmacy apprentices, they can hardly be used as shields. If you want to rely on them to hold up a solid line of defense, it will be no less than a mantis blocking a car, and the end will be miserable.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the weak with the strong, the only way is to set a trap to introduce these manticores into a narrow area and reduce their numerical advantage. The reason why Greem dared to do this was because of his ability to control the manticores.
learn.
Although manticores can be considered a ferocious monster, they do not have long-range attack skills after all, which is the main reason why they have never been on the stage! If it were not for the special environmental advantages of the underground passage, their combat power would even be inferior to that of the bipedal flying dragons.
Not as good as.
As dawn approaches, the manticore groups that have gone out to hunt once again begin to return to their nests in large numbers.
As soon as they entered the underground passage, the two elite manticores led by them became restless.
In the past, when Grim and Gargamel broke in, they would try to cover up their scent and erase the traces left behind. But this time, in addition to them, even the adventurous mercenaries also broke in with torches in their hands.
The strong human scent left in the passage and the burnt smell left by burning torches are like a beacon in the dark night, and it couldn't be more obvious!
His lair was actually broken into by a group of humans?
Even though the manticore leader was furious, he couldn't help but worry about the two young manticores who were staying in the lair!
Under its urging, all the manticores abandoned their prey one after another, flapped their bat wings, and followed the scent left by humans all the way towards the depths of the ground. The more they flew, the more worried they became, because the path forward of humans was aimed directly at them.
Hidden lair!
This can't help but make the manticores anxious!
Finally, at a key intersection outside the nest, they smelled the scent of the young manticore.
Mixed with the little manticore's aura is the burnt aura after the burst of elemental flames and...a faint smell of blood!
The former indicates the involvement of human wizards, while the latter... especially makes the manticores furious.
In almost half a quarter of an hour, they searched the nest and found no trace of the enemy. And relying on their keen sense of smell, they realized that the enemy did not escape, but instead wrapped the little manticore and headed straight deeper.
The underground has advanced.
The group of manticores, blinded by rage, led by two elite manticores, a male and a female, followed the scent and finally found two tightly bound manticores in an underground desert.
A small manticore and a lot of clothes left by human mercenaries.
While they were frantically tearing at the ropes around the little manticore, Grim, Gargamel and others came from behind and firmly occupied the entrance and exit of this underground Jedi.
The so-called underground Jedi actually refers to a small area with only one entrance and exit and no other passages inside. Such caves and caves are almost everywhere in the underground world, and they are also a type of area that underground expedition teams both love and hate.
If you are a member of an expedition team, it is undoubtedly the best place to camp if you can find such an area while the team is resting. As long as the only entrance and exit are blocked and someone is sent to guard it, there is no risk that the team will be attacked by someone.
But if you encounter a large number of underground creatures, this kind of underground Jedi with no way to escape can easily make an expedition team wiped out in one fell swoop. That’s why their existence makes people love and hate them, making it difficult to choose!
The underground Jedi place that Greem chose for the manticore group is a funnel-shaped cave that has been trampled many times. Apart from this only entrance and exit, there is no other passage for passage. And the only entrance and exit is wide.
4 meters high and 3 meters high, it can only allow an adult manticore to spread its wings and pass through, or two manticores to squeeze through.
When Greem discovered that the manticores had entered the urn, he immediately cut off their escape route from behind. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Greem released the growlers and rotten ones, leaving the growlers covered with rock lumps to be responsible for blocking the road.
He and the Rot are responsible for flanking attacks.
As for other team members, they spread out around to prevent other underground creatures from coming to cause trouble.
Gargamel, on the other hand, cast spells and spells for a while, detonating many traps hidden in the cave.
A large amount of wormwood and a small amount of ghost mushrooms were ignited by the flames, and began to create pungent and choking smoke and horrific stench in every corner of the cave, as well as fungal spores flying all over the sky.
They quickly consume the air in the cave.
Since all the secret passages and cracks had been blocked in advance, the smoke and poisonous gas could not escape, and the cave and the manticores inside were completely submerged almost instantly.
A huge coughing sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami and the sound of bat wings flapping by the manticores were immediately heard from the choking smoke, which was also mixed with the violent and thunderous roar of the manticore leader.
The Growler is a huge stone man with a height of 4 meters and a weight of 35 tons. Its body is also covered with a thick layer of rock armor. As the only human shield today, it gave up all attack opportunities and only condensed energy between the big hands of the rock.
He used a huge rock as a shield to defend himself with all his strength.
As soon as it took a defensive posture, the smoke in the cave cleared, and an extremely violent manticore hit the 'shield' in its hand with a swift hurricane force.
There was a loud bang.
The rock more than one meter thick was shattered into pieces in an instant!
The growler's heavy body suddenly stumbled backwards, and the rocky feet and the hard floor even caused dazzling sparks to rub against. The adult manticore also suffered a bloody head injury, shook its body and fell into a dizzy state at the entrance of the cave.
.
At the moment when neither party could react, Greem stood behind the growler and threw an enhanced version of the lava fireball at the feet of the injured manticore. At the same time, the rottener's strong putrid acid ball also responded.
It fell on the manticore.
It was as if a large pot of strong sulfuric acid was poured on the body. The injured manticore was still dizzy and was corroded by the strong acid, hissing loudly. The majestic and majestic sideburns quickly disappeared, and the hard leather-like brown skin emitted
A sizzling corrosion sound.
And in the next second, the lava fireball exploded, and the manticore flew into the air with a violent shock wave. The entire chest and abdomen were a bloody mess. As for the subsequent sputtering of lava fragments and magma, the inside of the cave entrance turned into a
A terrifying sea of lava and fire that is difficult for ordinary people to stand on.
As soon as this manticore gave way, the strong wind roared, and a new manticore rushed forward with the force of wind and thunder.
This time, the growler did not have a rock 'shield' to protect himself, and could only use a pair of thick rock hands to withstand the manticore's attack.
Boom...
There was another loud noise like the earth was shattering.
The growler's two stone hands, which were half a meter thick, were smashed into dust. If it hadn't sunk the two stone legs into the rock floor, they would have been knocked away just now.
What a terrifying power!
According to the monitoring of the chip, the impact intensity of the two manticores just now reached an astonishing 135 degrees. This... this is an attack intensity that is beyond the reach of ordinary wizards!
The physique and strength of this manticore were far better than the first one. After the violent impact, apart from a bloody head and broken fangs, it did not fall into dizziness. Not only was it not dizzy, it disappeared from the growler's hands.
At the moment when the empty door leaked, the scorpion tail behind it stabbed out like lightning and fiercely pierced the growler's rock armor.
The four-finger-thick rock armor was actually pierced through, and the terrifying poison needle as sharp as a hook quickly injected paralyzing venom into the growler's body. At the same time, the growler raised his right foot and stamped it down hard.
The terrifying invisible shock wave immediately began to spread around it with it as the center!
All individuals exposed to the shock wave couldn't help but jump up on the spot. The muscles and bones of the entire body were shaking uncontrollably, and they lost further ability to adapt.
This attacking manticore was obviously an elite guy, not weaker than the growler in terms of physique and strength. But unfortunately, when the paralyzing venom was ineffective, it had to eat the opponent's 'earthquake'!
If it were another manticore, it might take three to five fingers to get rid of this out-of-control effect, but for an elite manticore, it would only lose control in a short span of one finger.
It's a pity that this few fingers is enough for Greem to launch an attack!
Never daring to take advantage of himself, Greem did not hesitate to use his strongest single-body fire-based witchcraft in the Voodoo Secret Scroll - Fire Core Melting Explosion!
With the blessing of the Destroying Flame Witch Staff, the fire core melting explosion cast by Greem at this time has been able to reach an ultra-high attack intensity of 125 degrees, which is a full 10 degrees higher than before.
Don’t underestimate this 10-degree difference. This is a 10-degree difference based on deep defense penetration!
In ordinary wizard battles, each guy will try his best to add various elemental shields and witchcraft protection to himself. Under layers of reduction, ordinary witchcraft attacks cannot break through this defense, so they can only use consumption methods to slow down the attack.
Spend it slowly.
The higher the intensity of a single attack, the more likely it is to break through the opponent's defensive magic with one blow. Then the opponent can only fully absorb the excess elemental damage!
As for the elite manticore in front of us, the maximum witchcraft damage it can withstand is only 90 degrees.
Although witchcraft attacks below 90 degrees can cause some damage to the surface of its body, it will never be able to break through the protective force field formed by the powerful life energy, so it will not be able to damage the important organs and key parts of its body.
And this is the foundation that ensures it can continue to fight!
But Greem's fire core reached 125 degrees and exploded. Even if it was cut by half, the remaining 35 degrees of fire damage would actually be applied to its flesh and blood torso.
