Chapter 112: Attack in the Mist
After Richard finished understanding the memory of this fish-man hunter, he fell into deep thought.
From this point of view, my location is actually on the border of the night elves, close to the control area of the gray dwarves.
However, it may be because this fish-man hunter's level in the fish-man tribe is too low.
The key information that Richard wanted to know, such as how many high-level murloc warriors were in the murloc tribe?
For example, are there any existences like the Murloc Prophet, which is similar to the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice?
In addition, the most important point is, if there is a high-level magic stone, where is it stored?
Obviously, Richard could not find the answers to these questions in the memory of this fish man.
Therefore, at the moment, Richard has to find another murloc, one with a higher status in the entire murloc village, to answer the above questions.
So, Richard let the soul-eating spider crawl out of the fish-man hunter's body and return to the brain-eating monster's body.
After observing for three consecutive days, Richard did not find any high-value fish-men coming out of the village.
The person with the highest position is usually the captain of the murloc hunter. It is of little significance to take action, but it is easy to alert the enemy.
However, Richard was not in a hurry.
These past few days, Richard had been living an extremely fulfilling life. He practiced the Rodrigo Meditation Method once a day, and continued to practice the Meditation Method, allowing his mental power to continue to grow at a stable rate.
When the meditation method is practiced to a high level, some strange abilities will often be born. The more advanced the meditation method, the more common this situation is.
Of course, generally speaking, in order to practice advanced meditation methods to a proficient level, the practitioner must already be an experienced third-level wizard apprentice.
When it comes to the master level, there is no doubt that 99% of them are at the official wizard level.
Where could there be a freak like Richard!
His mental power has only just entered the second-level wizard apprenticeship, but he has already practiced advanced meditation methods to the master level. Therefore, this has caused Richard's mental power to improve rapidly in recent days.
In particular, Richard's Rodrigo meditation method is still the best among advanced meditation methods. At the master level, auxiliary witchcraft, energy-saving spellcasting and secondary spiritual charging were born, these two auxiliary effects are similar to the first-level witchcraft. witchcraft.
If Richard's total mental power reaches the threshold of a formal wizard, then these two subsidiary witchcrafts will undoubtedly become one of the options for innate witchcraft.
What is innate witchcraft? It is a third-level wizard apprentice. When you are promoted to a first-level wizard, a spiritual power core will be born in the spiritual sea. If there are one or two witchcraft models at the same time as the spiritual power core is born, it will also be born at the same time. After the construction is completed, in this case, the talent witchcraft will be generated.
Its effect is equivalent to that of a monster that has mastered innate abilities, so it is called innate witchcraft.
Innate witchcraft has two major characteristics, instant casting and energy-saving spell casting. Therefore, at the third-level wizard apprenticeship stage, everyone is working hard to improve the meditation method and the control of important witchcraft, hoping to become a natural witchcraft master when they are promoted. One of the options.
Among them, the witchcraft attached to the intermediate and advanced meditation methods will naturally become one of the options. This is why so many third-level wizard apprentices are eager to have an advanced meditation method.
Of course, in addition to practicing meditation, Richard spent the rest of his time looking through the recording crystal, the one Ophelia gave him.
It records Jenna's experimental manuscripts, ancient parchment scrolls - the zombie transformation ritual, and the rare zero-level witchcraft undead vision.
Today, Richard has just started using Vision of the Undead. In his opinion, this zero-level witchcraft is quite effective in certain scenarios.
[Undead Vision: The caster can observe the world through the vision of the undead or undead summons he controls. 】
This is equivalent to the otherworldly version of the "monitoring probe". As long as Richard casts this zero-level witchcraft, Richard is equivalent to turning on the "monitoring probe" and can immediately pass through the sight of the skeleton guardian guarding the entrance of the cave. Come and observe the situation around you.
Moreover, as the level of control increases, Richard can also observe the surrounding environment through the vision of multiple undead summons at the same time, which is equivalent to an otherworldly version of "multi-screen monitoring."
This allows Richard to apply it to different scenarios such as reconnaissance, defense, and combat, and keep abreast of the first-hand situation at any time, which is very practical.
The only thing that made Richard regretful was that for several days in a row, no brain-eating monsters came at night.
"According to the memory of that fish-man hunter, the Gray Fern Wilderness should be a paradise for monsters every night! How come
no monsters came to trouble me for three consecutive nights? Could it be that the cave where I am now, the location It's too remote, do we need to move to the center of the Gray Fern Wilderness?" Richard couldn't help but thought to himself.
Richard decided to check it out tonight. If it didn't work, he would get a bait tomorrow, such as a large piece of bloody wild boar meat, to try to lure the monster.
The steel-bristle wild boar was discovered by Richard in the Gray Fern Wilderness and named it by himself. It is a dolphin-like animal with bristles like steel brushes and an appearance similar to a wild boar on the ground. It has a violent and ferocious temperament, but its ribs are quite delicious.
Richard's plan was to eat the ribs of the steel-bristle boar himself and use the remaining portion to lure monsters.
After arranging skeleton guards to guard the entrance of the cave, Richard fell asleep peacefully.
Late at night, thick fog filled the air.
Gray Fern Wilderness, the entrance to the cave where Richard is.
Suddenly, a tentacle as thick as the mouth of a bowl was directly wrapped around it, and the skeleton guardian guarding the entrance of the cave instantly pulled it into the depths of the thick fog.
When Richard received a warning message from the skeleton guardian in his mind, he woke up instantly. An inverse pentagram formation instantly lit up on the ground. Two skeleton archers and a skeleton berserker were immediately summoned by Richard to guard them tightly.
He himself looked outside the cave, but the thick fog at the door made it impossible for him to see anything clearly.
Suddenly, Richard recalled the zero-level witchcraft of Undead Vision and immediately started using it.
Suddenly, a small "screen" opened in Richard's field of vision, as if a "surveillance" was turned on, and the screen kept shaking.
It was obvious that Richard's skeleton guardian was fighting to the death with the enemy. Although Richard could not see the enemy clearly due to the thick fog and shaking, the several python-like tentacles wrapped around the skeleton guardian's body were very clear.
Especially the bowl-sized suction cups on the long tentacles are clearly visible.
At this time, the brain-eating monster controlled by the Soul-Eating Demon Spider also reacted and rushed directly into the fog to help the skeleton guardians, fighting the enemy together.
"Hiss! Could this giant tentacle be a shell-backed tentacle monster?" Richard was suddenly shocked.
He had already recalled a monster introduced in "Common Monsters in the Underdark" that looked like an octopus, but carried a thick snail shell on its back. It was extremely powerful, had rough skin and thick flesh, and had very good defense against physical attacks.
Although it looks like an octopus, it is a terrestrial monster and is afraid of fire and elemental damage.
The shell-backed tentacle monster probably didn't expect that a small skeleton would be so difficult to deal with.
Richard's skeleton guardian is slightly stronger than the skeleton warrior. In terms of attack power, it is not that good, but it is not easy to kill him at once!
Especially when there is a brain-eating monster harassing him.
The effect of the zero-level witchcraft of Undead Vision was immediately reflected, allowing Richard to instantly judge the reality of the enemy. Otherwise, Richard would face unknown enemies, which would greatly increase the difficulty of the battle.
Now that he knew his opponent's weakness, Richard immediately took out several bottles of Fire Dance Star from his arms and tied them to the arrows of himself and the undead archers.
Positioned as a skeleton guardian, Richard and two skeleton archers aimed at the enemy in the mist.
"Crack!" The shell-backed tentacle monster, after using five of its eight tentacles, seized the opportunity and twisted off the skull guardian's head.
Just when it was about to deal with the brain-eating monster, it suddenly heard "Swish, swish, swish!" Three sharp sounds broke through the air.
Only three quick red rays of light were seen falling on it quickly.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Following three violent explosions, the tentacle-backed monster let out a piercing scream!
Beat up the drowned dog!
Richard continued to attack without hesitation, throwing out Fire Dance Star and Silver Moon Dust as if they were free of charge.
The skeleton berserker also rushed forward to attack immediately.
After the shell-backed tentacle monster was injured all over its body, its physical defense capabilities also dropped significantly.
The skeleton berserker's giant ax slashed and chopped off three tentacles, immediately making the shell-backed tentacle monster feel timid.
But it was too late. After Richard's Slowness and Weakness spells were used together, the shell-backed tentacle monster could only be killed obediently!
[Energy found to be absorbed, yes/no? ]
"Yes!"
[Acquire 5543 points of energy. 】
At this time, the soul-eating demon spider slowly crawled out of the brain-eating monster's body. When it was sucking souls in its infancy, it needed to be released from the state of possession.
When it climbed onto the back-shell tentacle monster to suck the soul, a thumb-sized amount of pure spiritual power was immediately fed back into Richard's spiritual sea.
Although it is still not as good as the brain-eating monster, it is still nearly half the amount.
This already made Richard very satisfied.
At this time, the Soul-Eating Demon Spider conveyed a consciousness to Richard, to the effect that he was possessed by the brain-eating monster, or the big guy in front of him.
After some thought, Richard decided to let the soul-eating spider possess the shell-backed tentacle monster.
After all, this thing is huge, comparable to a rhinoceros, and the heavy shell on its back did not shatter under the violent explosion of the Fire Dance Star. It was just charred black, which shows its strong physical defense.
If it hadn't been suddenly hit by three fire-dancers, directly injuring its body, and instead hiding in its heavy shell, this battle would have lasted for a long time.
After the soul-eating spider crawled into the shell-backed tentacle monster, Richard ordered it to guard the entrance of the cave. With such a big thing blocking the entrance, nothing could get in unnoticed.
