Chapter 108: A vicious fight with the brain-eating monster
Richard took out a few bottles of Fire Dance Star, and then took out a few steel arrows, and then tied the Fire Dance Star tightly to the arrows, so that when the arrows hit When hitting an object, the Fire Dance Star will naturally break apart, causing a violent explosion.
The various stilt houses of the fishman tribe here are all made of wood and a kind of thatch, and are very flammable.
Richard chose the current location of the hall as the center and the nine o'clock direction as his breakthrough point.
Because according to his observation, firstly, the number of patrol teams here was small, and secondly, Richard vaguely saw a trail leading outside the fish-man tribe.
In an unfamiliar environment, it is obviously very unwise to run around blindly. If there is a trail, it can at least prove that it is a passage. Compared with the unknown wilderness, it is definitely safer.
Therefore, if you want to find a place to hide temporarily, it would be a better choice to find a shelter near the trail.
When everything was ready, Richard began to tiptoe out of the back door of the hall.
With a flicker of his body, he ducked into the shadow of a stilt house ahead.
At this time, a dozen meters ahead, a five-man fishman patrol team was passing by the shadows.
A few seconds later, two arrows with red bindings suddenly shot from the shadows into the sky in the directions of six o'clock and twelve o'clock.
Many murloc warriors on patrol were still surprised as to why there was a sharp sound breaking through the air.
Immediately afterwards, there were two violent explosions!
In an instant, two stilt houses burst into flames at the twelve o'clock direction and the six o'clock direction.
Accompanied by the screams and shouts of the fishmen, the entire fishman village suddenly boiled as if hot water was poured into boiling oil!
The fastest responders are of course the fish-men patrols!
For a time, almost all the fishman patrols ran quickly towards the place where the fire broke out, and kept shouting the fishman language "Guji Guji".
No need to guess, Richard also knew that it must be shouting about enemy attack or putting out a fire.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the fish-man tribe, Richard immediately drank the elegance of wind potion. Two light cyan air currents suddenly surrounded his legs, and his whole body was like an arrow from a string, shooting straight towards nine o'clock. direction.
At nine o'clock, many murlocs in the stilt buildings were awakened by the noise. When they opened the door, they saw a gust of wind blowing by, and the dust raised by them confused their eyes. After wiping it, they looked again. He saw nothing but two flames rising into the sky not far from the tribe. He quickly called his family members to put out the fire.
At this time, Richard had already crossed the short distance of more than 100 meters and reached the heavily guarded gate.
Even though the fire that just broke out caused many murloc warriors to go to put out the fire, and the number was reduced a lot, a quick look showed that there were still four or five murloc warriors, plus two double-sword warriors still guarding here.
Obviously, fighting head-on is not a good idea, and Richard would not choose to run out from the gate. This would instead cause the fishman tribe to send people to chase or search along the trail, which would be detrimental to his subsequent concealment.
I saw Richard hiding in the shadows, using Summon Skeleton, summoning a sword and shield skeleton, and immediately used a secret technique to possess the skeleton.
Immediately, the Sword and Shield Skeleton strode directly towards the door, attracting the attention of all the fishmen here. When Richard wanted to climb the fence
, he saw that all the guards had been transferred away. At the gate, Richard calmly climbed over the wall and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to send the besieged Sword and Shield skeleton directly back to the world of the dead.
The few murloc guards were left behind, looking at the position of the sword and shield skeleton that suddenly disappeared, in a daze.
After walking along the path for a while, Richard summoned the sword and shield skeleton again and arranged to open the way ahead.
Looking at the chaotic fishman tribe camp, Richard smiled softly and continued walking along the path without looking back.
As he walked, Richard observed his surroundings. The path was surrounded by rolling hills and dense ferns, making it very easy to avoid.
After a while, Richard vaguely saw several caves. Due to the continuous fighting and the unfamiliar area, he still really wanted to find a place to rest and sort out his thoughts for the next step.
Suddenly, he felt the Soul-Eating Demon Spider egg in his arms beat. This was a sign that the Soul-Eating Demon Spider was about to hatch.
This made Richard a little anxious. It seemed that he had to find a place quickly, because as soon as the Soul-Eating Spider emerged from its shell, Richard would have to hurry up and sign the blood contract, so he had to find a relatively safe place to do it.
I quickly compared several caves I had just discovered and found one that was just the right size for one person.
Richard quickly possessed the skeleton and broke in. After killing an unknown beast, he occupied the magpie's nest.
At the same time, Richard did not forget to order the Sword and Shield Skeleton to throw the beast's body far away. After the skeleton came back, he arranged for it to guard the entrance of the cave while he took a quick rest.
At this time, I heard the sound of shell breaking in my arms, and an eight-legged spider the size of a white jade fist crawled out of the broken egg. Richard was immediately overjoyed. After waiting for so long, he finally hatched the soul-eating spider.
The soul-eating spider that just came out seemed a little dazed, and then it started from Richard's palm and crawled towards his body along the forearm according to the familiar smell.
Richard carefully took it off and placed it in the middle of his palm. At the same time, he bit open his index finger, squeezed out three drops of blood, and began to recite the incantation of the blood oath contract.
Following the low spell, three drops of blood were suspended in the air, forming an equilateral triangle shape. Suddenly, a bloody vertical pupil suddenly appeared in the middle of the triangle.
The moment his vertical pupils opened, a strange coercion descended, and like a living creature, he looked back and forth between Richard and the young Soul-eating Demonic Spider. For a moment, Richard felt that he and the Soul-Eating Demon Spider There is an extra blood connection between the Soul Demon Spiders.
The next second, the bloody vertical pupils disappeared instantly!
At this point, the blood oath contract is basically completed. In the future, as long as Richard feeds a drop of his blood essence to the Soul-Eating Demon Spider every ten days and a half, he can always control this monster, even if the Soul-Eating Spider Even if the demon spider dies, there will be no backlash.
But before Richard could carefully observe the soul-eating spider in its infancy, enjoying the joy of being its first contracted creature, suddenly, the sword-and-shield skeleton guarding the entrance of the cave issued a rapid warning, as if something was heading towards the cave. Move over at high speed.
The next second, the sounds of fighting between sword and shield skeletons and unknown creatures were heard.
What a speed! Richard knew that the warning range of the Sword and Shield Skeleton was at least tens of meters, but only about two seconds passed between hearing the warning and the sound of the fight, which showed how fast the opponent was!
correct! It should be because of the blood essence when he signed the blood contract with the Soul-eating Demonic Spider just now!
This unknown creature is most likely attracted by its own essence and blood.
Richard quickly grabbed the infant Soul-Eating Demon Spider, stuffed it into his arms, and walked towards the entrance of the cave to explore the enemy.
What caught the eye was an extremely ugly monster, resembling a dog, with no head, no neck, no skin, exposed blood-red muscle tissue, intricately intertwined, and the part that should have been the neck was now replaced by a naked brain with grooves and ravines. The folds of the brain are clearly visible.
"Oops! Brain-eating monster! It's such a monster!" Richard was shocked.
Since the last time he met the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Richard has learned a lot. He consciously checked some books related to the Underdark in the library, such as "Introduction to Species of the Underdark" and so on. So he recognized at a glance that the monster in front of him was a brain-eating monster.
The brain-eating monster likes to eat the brains of intelligent creatures. The smarter the intelligent creatures, the more it likes them. Therefore, the brains of human wizard apprentices are a rare delicacy for them.
The most terrible thing is that the brain-eating monster's witchcraft resistance is abnormally high, higher than that of the iron-jawed lizard, and it moves very quickly, so it is extremely difficult for wizard apprentices to deal with. Generally, witchcraft attacks on the brain-eating monster. It can be said to be ineffective.
If he were an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice now, and if he chose to chant a spell directly and carry out a witchcraft attack when encountering a brain-eating monster, he would definitely be defeated!
But Richard immediately formulated a strategy. He used the master-level zero-level witchcraft to summon skeletons, and combined it with the high-level witchcraft prop Bone Summoning Staff. Within a second, he completed the spell.
In an instant, a skeleton warrior and two skeleton soldiers quickly climbed out of the summoning circle!
At this time, the soul fire of the sword and shield skeleton at the entrance of the cave suddenly went out.
It turned out that a brain-eating monster attracted the attention of the sword and shield skeleton from the front, and another brain-eating monster suddenly attacked from the side and rear, causing the sword and shield skeleton guarding the door to die suddenly!
Two brain-eating monsters! This set off alarm bells in Richard's heart.
Fortunately, the death of the summoned object will not cause mental backlash like some contracted creatures.
The two brain-eating monsters thought that after killing the skeleton at the entrance of the cave, they could go in and enjoy their "delicious food". However, when they were about to rush into the cave, they were attacked and repelled by three fully armed skeletons. out.
Considering that the number of brain-eating monsters is unknown, staying in the cave all the time is a dead end for catching turtles in a jar, which is quite unfavorable.
After Richard quickly equipped himself with the dark element shield and bone armor technique, he placed the skeleton warrior in front and the two sword and shield skeletons at the back. Such a triangular formation firmly protected him in the middle, slowly Out of the cave.
Richard also thought very clearly that in the face of monsters with extremely high witchcraft resistance such as brain-eating monsters, general witchcraft is basically ineffective. Performing witchcraft is a waste of mental energy. It is better to use physical attacks to be more effective. , so at this moment, the giant bow is already in hand.
Multi-shooting is on!
Richard shot three more arrows in a row, hoping that even if he couldn't kill the opponent, he could at least severely damage him. But surprisingly, they were all quickly dodged by the two brain-eating monsters.
It seems that this is the first time that my master-level bow skills have failed!
Richard finally understood the true meaning of the words "very fast" when describing the brain-eating monster in the book.
This is just like in a previous life, one person asked how fast Bolt could run, and the other person replied, very fast!
Vague descriptions are harmful!
