Chapter 3041 Clay Doll

"What's the situation around here?"

The speaker was Kael, and the person he was asking was Dox.

After Benson finished describing the situation in the cave, Dox volunteered to test Benson's words. So, he closed his eyes and used his mental power to explore the surroundings.

"Just as Benson said, the surroundings are indeed a large maze." Dox: "My mental power can't penetrate the wall, and there is no way to penetrate upwards. It should be the space trap that Benson mentioned."

"There is indeed an area of ​​collapse on the road behind. I think it is the road Benson took when he came here before."

"Turn right three times in a row in front, and then walk straight for about 100 meters, and you will enter the spore poisonous fog. The poisonous fog cannot penetrate mental power, and the specific situation inside is unknown."

Dox closed his eyes and explored, while reporting back the situation he explored.

"If you turn right twice in front, then walk straight for 30 meters, and then turn left four times in a row, it will be a quagmire..."

At this point, Dox suddenly paused, and unconsciously emitted a "huh" sound from his nasal cavity.

Not long after, amid the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Dox opened his eyes.

"Why did you stop talking about the swamp? Did something happen in the swamp?" Kael looked at Dox curiously.

Dox pondered for a moment and said, "I saw a clay doll monster in the swamp..."

What's so strange about seeing a clay doll monster? Kael didn't understand.

Aren't spore poison mist and clay doll monsters the mainstream obstacles when exploring the maze?

Dox: "Moreover, there were hundreds of clay doll monsters at once."

Kael was stunned for a moment, but still felt that it was no big deal. Didn't Benson say before that these clay doll monsters are group activities. A hundred clay doll monsters are a bit too much, but it can be tolerated.

Kael once encountered nearly a thousand social monsters near the sandworm market. They were a special kind of desert marching ants. They ate whatever they saw. They were one of the three major insect plagues in the Principality of Laxum. The strength of these marching ants was also at the level of elementary and intermediate apprentices.

So in comparison, the clay doll monsters are just so-so.

"The point is not the type of monsters, nor the number, but... they seem to have sensed my spiritual power and are now rushing towards us aggressively." Dox sighed.

Hearing the monsters rushing towards them, Kael finally lost his composure.

Although the killing power of individual social monsters is not very good, if they gather together, the power will be terrifying.

In the Principality of Laxum, even formal wizards are unwilling to face the ant plague alone.

Besides, if they encounter marching ants, they can still fly into the air to avoid them; but in this semi-enclosed maze, they encounter a rolling tide of monsters, and it is difficult for them to find a place to hide.

At this time, Angel said, "This sounds a bit wrong."

After a pause, Angel looked at Benson, who was terrified, and asked, "When you met the clay doll monsters before, did they take the initiative to chase you?"

Benson shook his head: "No...no."

Benson's answer made Kael's face change suddenly.

He had thought before that the clay doll monsters could dodge Benson, so they should be able to do so. But now Benson told them that the clay doll monsters had never chased him? !

What's going on with Dox?

Dox didn't attack the clay doll monsters, he just used his mental power to detect them, and the clay doll monsters came in droves. Did this trigger some game rules?

Although Benson's answer made Kael pale, Dox showed an expression of "as expected" when he heard his words.

Angel: "Should we avoid it? Or should we fight it?"

Angel was not too afraid of the clay doll monster. As an illusion wizard, he was least afraid of this kind of group monster whose individual strength was not very strong; an illusion could guarantee safety whether it was thrown on his own side or the enemy camp.

However, the abnormal behavior of the clay doll monster made Angel a little confused.

Benson also used mental power to detect the clay doll monster. Otherwise, if he used his naked eyes to find the clay doll monster, he might not have time to avoid it.

Benson was fine when he used mental power to detect the clay doll monster, so why did Duokes have problems?

Because Duokes is a formal wizard?

But mental strength is not the standard for judging formal wizards.

Moreover, Duokes is not a wizard who is good at mental power; many apprentices who specialize in mental power are not much weaker than Duokes in mental power.

If you encounter an apprentice who is good at mental power and a wizard who is not good at mental power, it is difficult for Angel to judge who is the apprentice and who is the formal wizard based solely on the intensity of the fluctuations emitted by their mental power.

That's why Angel felt something was wrong. The behavior of the clay doll monster was too abnormal.

However, the same abnormality was also... Dox.

Dox proposed to explore the surroundings and personally went there, which was not his style. This kind of exploration work, Dox can completely leave it to Su Ling.

Besides, is it really necessary to explore the surroundings?

Their goal is very clear, that is, Su Ling's clone.

The method of finding the clone is very simple, just let Su Ling lead the way in front. Even if Su Ling's clone is not in the clay doll maze, it doesn't matter. At most, it will pass through a few more space membranes.

This is the abnormality of Dox.

In addition, Angel also saw something fishy in Doakes' expression.

He went to explore the path. Maybe it was not just the path exploration, but also had other profound meanings?

Therefore, Angel did not raise any objection, but asked Doakes about his next plan.

Doakes: "No need to avoid it... wait until those mud puppet monsters come over and take a closer look."

After a pause, Doakes said in a meaningful tone: "I have a feeling that these clay puppet monsters will bring us surprises."

"What surprise?" Angel asked directly.

Doakes said mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will..."

However, before Doakes could finish his words, Angel interrupted directly: "The Riddler's fate is usually very miserable. Besides, haven't you been complaining about Vai's death divination? Why, now you should follow suit." Are you talking?"

Doakes' expression froze, he turned his face away unnaturally, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Actually, I cough... I don't know what will happen, it's just a vague feeling."

Angel glanced at Doakes, nodded and said, "I accept this answer."

Angel also knows the capabilities and characteristics of Doakes. After all, he is not a prophetic wizard and cannot see the real future. His abnormal behaviors are obviously dominated by inspiration.

And inspiration is something more mysterious than prophecy. He didn't know what to expect, that was normal.

If you don’t know, you don’t know, just tell me.

Since Doakes' inspiration guided them to face this group of clay puppet monsters, then face it. Angel said nothing more and just silently arranged the illusion nodes.

Kael felt that the conversation between Angel and Doakes was normal. But Benson on the other side was full of surprise.

He recognized Doakes, but he didn't recognize Angel...or rather, he didn't recognize Angel after his changed appearance.

In Benson's mind, Doakes should be the center of the group. But now it seems that this red-haired and golden-eyed wizard is the backbone? But who is he?

When Benson looked at Angel in confusion, bursts of roaring could be heard in the distance.

Along with the roar, the ground began to tremble.

Obviously, the swarm of clay puppet monsters was approaching them.

Seeing this, Benson gave up thinking about Angel's identity. Instead, he took a deep breath and shrank back: "I, I..."

Benson's idea was to leave here first, but he was also worried that his departure would offend the two official wizards, so he stuttered for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

Angel glanced at Benson and casually threw an illusion to cover him, saying: "The duration of the illusion is half an hour. Within the illusion, normal clay puppet monsters will not find you. You can choose to stay here. , or leave.”

Benson didn't know whether what Angel said was true or not. He couldn't believe everything the wizard said.

However, Benson still showed gratitude on his face, and then backed away while saying words of gratitude.

After retreating more than ten meters, Benson hadn't figured out how to leave.

Angel said calmly: "Go."

Benson was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thanked Angel, then quickly turned around and left. It is worth mentioning that the thanks this time were much more sincere than before.

There was no one to stop Benson from leaving, and no one to blame.

If they were Benson, they would also make such a choice.

Compared to Benson who is thinking about leaving, the current situation undoubtedly deserves more attention.

Angel arranged another illusion for Kael and motioned for him to step aside. Then, Angel arranged a triggering illusion node around himself and Doakes.

Can be activated at any time.

Whether or not to use illusions all depends on the specific situation at the moment.

At this time, dust and mist began to float in the passage ahead, and the ground shook crazily. They were obviously a group of apprentice-level monsters, but they managed to create a wizard-level aura.

Seeing that the clay puppet monster was about to arrive, Doakes seemed to have discovered something again, and said to Angel: "Don't do it yet, leave it to me."

Angel nodded. He didn't trust Doakes much, but he trusted his inspiration.

Angel took a few steps back and quietly looked at Doakes and the majestic group of clay puppet monsters from behind.

…

To be precise, it was no longer a group of clay puppet monsters at this time, but a torrent of monsters.

Their goal was very clear. Without any pause, they locked onto Doakes and started rolling in.

The dust was all around, and even the true appearance of the clay puppet monster was hard to see, and only the terrifying torrent impact could be felt.

But Doakes stood alone in front of the torrent, seemingly unafraid of the clay puppet monster.

His calmness seemed to anger the clay puppet monsters. They moved faster, rolling, jumping, and baring their teeth, trying to completely crush Doakes and devour them.

There are even many clay puppet monsters that are eyeing Angel.

After Doakes was dealt with, the new target was Angel.

But before they could face Angel, they encountered Waterloo at Doakes.

Doakes used his own strength and his thin body to block the seemingly majestic and infinite torrent.

Even Angel couldn't help but secretly praise this scene.

Doakes obviously did not activate his bloodline, and he could only hold the mud puppet monster with his physical strength. This is enough to prove Doakes' strength.

The bloodline side is indeed the bloodline side, with an invincible foundation at the same level, but it is different... If it were Angel, he would not dare to play like this; of course, he could not afford it. His projected bloodline, except for the attached green vein seeds, is really not good enough, and is currently too weak to be of much use.

After blocking the clay puppet monsters, Dox did not attack the group of monsters, but quickly moved through the monsters.

This behavior, in Angel's view, was full of weirdness.

But from the perspective of the clay puppet monsters, Dox's slippery behavior like a loach seemed like a provocation to them.

The clay puppet monsters became even more angry. Originally, many clay puppet monsters had already targeted Angel. Logically, Dox had rushed into their group and was already defenseless behind them, so they could come over to attack Angel; but at this time, the anger of being provoked prevailed, and they completely ignored the existence of Angel and continued to attack Dox one after another.

And Dox seemed to think that the provocation of "running into their team" was not enough, and he closed his eyes, looking completely at ease.

For a while, the narrow passage was full of roars and roars.

"What is Lord Red Sword...doing?" Kael's slightly hesitant voice came from the mind band.

Angel shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he is looking for something?"

The reason why Angel said this was because he noticed that Dox's ears were always moving. He closed his eyes not to provoke, but to use the "five senses balance" and other magic, by closing the vision to enhance the hearing.

However, Angel could not be sure what Dox was looking for.

Because he did not know Dox's target for the time being, Angel simply turned his sight to the clay doll monster.

Before, the clay doll monster came with a lot of dust and a strong momentum, and for a while, it was really hard to see the appearance of the clay doll monster.

But now, after being blocked by Dox's body, these clay doll monsters, although more powerful, also became slower, revealing their true appearance.

It must be said that clay doll monsters look very individual.

Other non-human monsters, in the eyes of most wizards, are basically the same.

Just like ordinary people looking at black panthers, even though the stripes and hair are obviously different, it is still difficult for humans to distinguish the appearance characteristics of black panthers. I just feel that all the black panthers I encounter look the same.

But clay doll monsters are different, each of them looks completely different.

As their name says, they are a kind of clay doll: dolls made of mud.

Their clay sculptures have completely different images, including humans, cats and dogs, birds and fish... and completely different sizes, big like tusked elephants, small like insects.

It looks exactly like the clay sculpture version of "Biological Encyclopedia".
