Chapter 1181 Electric Whip Monster
The trip in the afternoon went smoothly for the first two hours, until Joan and the others passed through an area where mushrooms and vines grew, and an accident happened suddenly!
The messy vines floating on the water wriggled without warning, like a group of purple snakes, entwining the large mutant spiders wading through the water.
When the big spider was attacked suddenly, it was startled at first, and then immediately showed a ferocious disposition, biting the strange vine on the spot, and its eight long legs exerted force at the same time, dragging the vine backward.
In this wrestling with the water surface as the boundary, after a few seconds of stalemate, the large mutant spider firmly gained the upper hand, and with its stronger physique, it dragged up the assailant lurking in the quagmire.
At this time, the conflict in front of him had already aroused Qiao An's vigilance. Through the 3-ring "synesthesia" blessed on the large mutant spider, he could see the attacker's true face earlier than his companions.
The monster was slightly smaller than the large mutant spider, and its mud-smeared gray-green skin was wrinkled. At first glance, it looked like a mass of rotting algae floating in the mud.
However, after careful observation, Joan discovered that this ugly monster had six legs symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body, and its torso also showed obvious insect characteristics.
The monster's ugly head was like a festering tumor, surrounded by a ring of everted fangs, and other facial organs were indistinct.
A crack exuding a rancid smell extended from the back of the monster's neck to its back, and several purple tentacles protruded from the crack.
When this monster was lurking in the quagmire just now, it stuck its tentacles out of the water, disguised itself as a bunch of vines, and sneaked up on the large mutant spiders passing by.
One of the tentacles has been cut off by the giant spider's sharp jaws, crackling at the break, sparking dazzling electric sparks.
This discharge phenomenon aroused Joan's curiosity. Just as he was about to observe carefully through the big spider's eyes, the rest of the monster's tentacles also shot out electric arcs, crackling and hitting the big spider.
At the moment of the electric shock, Qiao An experienced the pain that the big spider was suffering through "synesthesia".
The giant spider entangled in the tentacles of the monster twitched violently from the electric shock, its bristles stood on end, emitting a scorched smell.
Audrey, who was walking in the front of the team, also sensed the electric sparks flickering in front of her at this time, and quickly drew her sword and rushed over, swiping her sword to cut off a tentacle that bound the big spider.
At the same time, a strong electric current was transmitted along the blade, which also made her arm numb, and she could hardly hold the hilt.
Hailar and Holden realized that the situation was not good, and hurried to Audrey's side. After walking a few steps, an electric arc flashed on the surface of the water under their feet, and pain and numbness were transmitted from the soles of their feet, scaring the two of them to stop hurriedly, their faces full of bewilderment.
"Come back!"
Joan reminded his companions through the team communication network formed by the "messaging technique".
"Sewage conducts electricity, and it will be fine if it is returned to a dry place!"
After being reminded by him, Audrey, Hyrule, and Holden retreated to dry highlands far away from the water, but their eyes were still fixed on the monster that kept discharging in front of them, with guard and curiosity intertwined in their eyes.
Qiao An quickly drew 2 "Sid Mana", converted into a 2nd-level spell slot, blessed himself with "Electric Resistance Barrier", and then crushed a small piece of black agate to create "Mage Nether Palm".
Joan remotely controlled the "Mage Nether Palm", grabbed the monster that was shocking the large mutant spider from the air, and lifted it up forcefully.
The monster screamed in horror, flicked its tentacles and struggled desperately, crackling and flickering electric snakes all over its body, as if it wanted to release electric energy to hit the big black hand that was tightly grasping itself.
However, his struggle was meaningless, the giant palm shaped by the force field was like an insulator, unaffected by the electric shock at all.
Qiao An remotely controlled the "Mage Nether Palm" and dragged the monster to the front, and cast the 2-ring "Advanced Internal Vision" to check its details.
...
Scouting target: medium-sized aberrations (electric subspecies)
Attributes: Strength 12, Dexterity 13, Constitution 13, Intelligence 6, Wisdom 12, Charisma 5
Special Abilities: Immunity to Electric Shock, Biodischarge
...
In the underground world, there are not many strange monsters of the electric subspecies. Combined with the ugly and unforgettable appearance of this monster, Joan soon remembered that in the "Vares Monster Illustrated Book (Strange Part Volume) )" I have seen similar illustrations, and the related entry is called "Electric Whip Monster".
"It turns out that this guy is the 'Electric Whip Monster'. The real appearance is uglier than the illustration." Joan complained secretly.
Holding up the short sword blessed with "Daylight", Holden took a photo into the depths of the mud, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and let out a "huh" in surprise.
"Look, everyone! There are quite a few of these electric discharge monsters in the quagmire!"
Qiao An looked at the young poet's sword finger, and using the "Daylight Technique" to illuminate it, he saw snake-like purple tentacles snaking out of the muddy water, vying to entangle the large mutant that was paralyzed by electricity. Spiders, discharge together.
Crackling electric sparks flickered, and in a blink of an eye, that poor big spider was scorched black by the electricity, and it seemed impossible to live.
Joan frowned to observe the movement in the quagmire, and visually observed that there were at least four "Electric Whip Monsters" lurking in that area.
Although this kind of low-level strange monsters did not pose any threat to the expedition team, they happened to block the only way for everyone to pass. The biological current released by them was conducted in the water, making the entire water area very dangerous, difficult to pass through, and disgusting. very.
After thinking for a while, Joan opened the storage bag, took out the "Water Control Wand" that he had seized from the swampman elder Gumoduo, activated a burst of energy, and cast the 4-level spell "Control Water".
"Celume!"
The moment the spell activation incantation was chanted, a beam of golden brilliance erupted from the sub-dragon head embedded in the top of the wand, shooting straight towards the waters where the "Electric Whip Monsters" gathered.
Affected by the magic power, a huge vortex was immediately formed in the water area, and the four "electric whip monsters" were all sucked into the vortex, spinning at high speed with the muddy water.
Joan put away the "Water Control Wand", while maintaining the "Mage's Nether Palm", and clung to the "Electric Whip" just captured alive, and at the same time used the "Dividing Mystery Technique" to split a "secondary consciousness", Cast 3 rings of "Liquid Alchemy" on the center of the vortex to convert muddy water into fuel.
When Hailar saw Joan performing "liquid alchemy", he guessed his plan, quickly made a spell-casting gesture, aimed at the vortex and shot a "scorching ray", and ignited the fuel that had just been transformed.
With a bang, a large cloud of flames erupted from the vortex, and the four "electric whip monsters" who were engulfed in the vortex and soaked in fuel were burnt to coke in a blink of an eye.
