Chapter 1000 Tentacle Monster (Ⅰ)

"Get out of the way!"

Audrey came rushing like a whirlwind, and pushed away Hailar who was still in a daze, and held up the kite shield with her left hand to block the tentacles falling from the sky.

Several tentacles slammed heavily on the knight's large shield, making a series of dense crackling sounds, and simultaneously shot out flickering electric sparks.

The "lightning beam" that Hailar just blasted out, not only failed to kill the tentacle monster, but was absorbed into his body by the monster, and the tentacles were also filled with electric energy, turning into ten "electric whips"!

The current was transmitted through the large steel shield, and Audrey suddenly felt numbness in his left arm, and he could hardly hold the shield.

She gritted her teeth, resisted the numbness caused by the electric shock, pulled back the shield, held the sword tightly in her right hand, and swung a "Thunder Slash" with all her might!

The monster in the air was trying to snatch Audrey's shield with its tentacles, but when she pulled it hard, its balloon-shaped body involuntarily slid down, facing a bright sword light!

The thunder roared on the edge of the sword, and the echoes reverberated in the vault, causing everyone's eardrums to sting.

The sword tore the monster's tough skin, splashing a large amount of purple blood, and the trembling and roaring sword edge burst out with a strong shock wave, blasting the tentacle monster out.

Another tentacle monster in the air quickly floated over, trying to prevent Audrey from chasing and killing his injured companion.

Before it got close to Audrey, Holden raised his hand and fired a shot. The bullet with chaotic magic power hit the tentacle monster, and a strange light burst out.

The tentacle monster shrouded in this magical brilliance let out a scream, its body shrank sharply, and turned into a small chick in a blink of an eye. It fell from the mid-air, and fell headfirst on the rocky ground, chirping and screaming.

At the same time that Holden shot, Joan also pulled out his revolver from his waist, aimed at the tentacle monster that Holden had turned into a chicken cub with the "funny gun", and pulled the trigger continuously.

After two gunshots, the chicken's blood splashed on the spot, kicked its legs and died, the corpse swelled rapidly, and turned back into the appearance of the tentacle monster again.

The tentacle monster that was wounded by Audrey's sword, witnessed the tragic shooting of its companions, and realized that this group of human explorers was definitely not to be offended by itself. Dragging its bloody tentacles, it turned its head and floated towards the dome of the cave. , made it clear that he wanted to escape.

Joan put away the revolver, pulled out the "spiritual net" from the storage bag, threw it into the air with all his strength, and at the same time chanted the activation command to catch the prey.

"Ungwé!"

The "spiritual net" responded to the master's order, and the light disappeared out of thin air in a flash, and appeared on the top of the tentacle monster in the next moment, turning into a big net intertwined with gold and silver!

The tentacle monster, who was in a panic, slammed into the net, and it was too late to get out. He was tightly wrapped by the "spiritual net" that was shrinking sharply, and fell down whining.

"Eala!"

Joan chanted another mantra, and the "spiritual net" changed into the form of "activated rope" in response, like a python, dragging the tentacle monster tightly bound by it to crawl, and returned to Joan after a while.

Qiao An observed the "tentacle monster" closely, and was very interested in this kind of strange monster that can absorb electric energy. He decided to communicate with it in depth, and then cast a spell to establish a "secondary spiritual connection" with the tentacle monster.

Through telepathy, Joan noticed that the monster's mind was full of fear and despair, so he took out a bottle of healing potion soaked in "God's Tears" from the storage bag, pulled out the cork, and sprinkled the potion On the bleeding sword wound on the head of the tentacle monster.

The moment the potion touched the wound, the tentacle monster trembled in horror.

This monster has no eyes. Joan guessed that it has some kind of blindsight ability, just like "tremor perception", it can only perceive the movement of pouring water on it, but it can't tell what liquid is poured on it. That's why I feel scared.

"Don't worry, this potion can help you stop the bleeding."

Joan comforted the tentacle monster through a telepathic connection.

The tentacle monster lacked trust in him at first, but soon found that the wound soaked in the potion was rapidly stopping bleeding and healing, the pain was greatly relieved, and the trembling body gradually calmed down.

Sensing the change in the tentacle monster's mentality, Joan made a series of hand gestures and chanted the casting spell in a low voice.

"Vanima!"

A faint blue magic radiance emanated from Joan's eyes and shone on the tentacle monster.

The spell and effects of this spell are very similar to "charm person", but with a slightly different configuration, specifically for aberrations.

During his recuperation at the Baden Hot Springs, Joan discovered this rather rare 1st-level spell—"Charm the Strange" by analyzing his own strange blood.

In the surface world, there are very few chances to deal with strange monsters. However, in the underground world where strange monsters emerge in endlessly, this side-by-side spell finds its place, so Qiao An specially prepared one, just to practice with the tentacle monster.

Charm spells are usually difficult to work on hostile creatures.

Fortunately, Joan had already used a bottle of healing potion to greatly reduce the tentacle monster's hostility. After casting the spell, he successfully won the opponent's favor.

Most of the spells of the "Charm Control School" can be classified into two subcategories, one is "Charm" and the other is "Coercion". ” and “Dominates the Insects.”

The "Coercion" type of spell is like an overlord forcing his bow. No matter how reluctant the subject is, once captured by the spell, he can only be forced to obey the order of the caster.

The "charm" type of spell is not so strong, it just wins the favor and trust of the subject unconsciously, making the other party feel that the caster is sincerely for his own good, and listens to the caster's advice from the heart, rather than being forced At the mercy of the caster.

These two types of enchantment spells have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of "coercion" spells is that they are simple and rude, and it doesn't matter whether the subject is resentful or not, forcing the other party to carry out the order.

The shortcoming is that if the other party is unwilling, they will not go all out in the process of executing the order, and they will be lazy if they can. Not only is the efficiency low, but also they cannot perform creative work that requires subjective initiative.

The weakness of "charm" spells is that the subject retains a part of free will. If the caster's request clearly violates the subject's own interests, it may be rejected.

The advantage is that when the interests of the caster and the subject are the same, or when the subject can be persuaded that the interests of both parties are the same, the subject will be aroused with great enthusiasm and actively serve the caster, instead of being negative Sabotage, and even take the initiative to make suggestions.

At this moment, the tentacle monster captured by Joan with "Charming Stranger" has realized that his fate is completely in the hands of this human mage. Only by pleasing the other party can he save his life.

So when Joan asked it to act as a guide for his adventure team, leading everyone through the navel to the blood tundra, even though the tentacle monster had never left this area since its birth, it readily agreed.
