Chapter 1186 Peeping at the Magic Eye

Thinking of Rebecca, Joan couldn't help feeling lost, and her heart ached slightly.

After being dazed for a few seconds, he came back to his senses, looked up, and found that Medea had walked alone to the entrance of the grotto opposite, stopped, opened the storage bag, took out a handful of bean-sized glass beads, held Chants a spellcasting spell in hand.

"Apacenya!"

Under the curious gaze of Joan and the others, the Gorgon Medea chanted a mantra symbolizing "vision" and spread out her palms at the same time.

The handful of glass beads in her hand, under the blessing of magic power, automatically floated up into the air, shining with strange light.

"Go!"

With a wave of Medea's hand, more than a dozen enchanted glass beads seemed to have gained life, and flew into the cave one after another, sometimes stopping and turning around, like eyeballs looking around.

"What spell is Medea casting?" Audrey asked Joan privately through the "messaging technique".

"It looks a lot like the 5-ring prophecy-type arcane 'Peeping Eye'," Qiao An replied through a voice transmission. "This spell can temporarily transform multiple glass beads into observation devices for pathfinding."

Compared with the 3rd-level "Eagle Eye" which can only create a fixed observation point, the biggest advantage of the 5th-level "Peeping Magic Eye" is that these created "glass eyeballs" are all movable. Under the remote control of the caster, they can go deep into the Scout out dangerous areas and record everything you see.

When a "peeping magic eye" returns to the caster, it will convey what it has seen and heard to the master through telepathy, so that the caster is prepared for the risks that may be encountered on the way forward.

The number of "peeping eyes" and the maximum detection radius are positively related to the level of the caster.

Generally speaking, a warlock who can cast 5-ring arcane spells has at least 10 spellcasting levels. Considering that Medea released 15 "peeping magic eyes" in one breath, Joan guessed that she was probably an 11th-level warlock.

Among all the sorcerers that Joan has come into contact with, except for the "Red Queen" Lady Josephine and the "White Prince" Vignier, this Gorgon has the highest level of sorcerer, which makes him respectful.

Medea drove all fifteen "peeping eyes" into the cave, and ordered them to take charge of a route, conduct investigations in all directions without dead ends, and then turned around and told Joan, Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden: " Wait here for a while, after the 'Peeping Eye' comes back and confirms that there is no danger, it will not be too late for us to go in again."

Everyone felt that her approach was safe and nodded in agreement.

Everyone waited at the entrance of the cave for more than ten minutes, and the first "peeping magic eye" flew back.

Medea held the magic eye, read the reconnaissance information, shook her head and said: "This route is a dead end, we will wait for reports from other routes."

Not long after, the other "Peeping Eyes" also flew back one after another. Medea checked them one by one, frowning and lost in thought.

"How's the situation inside the cave?" Holden couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked first.

"Most forks in the road lead to dead ends in the end. There are only three routes that can pass through the cave, but there are monsters lurking in the dark. The risk is great!"

Medea's beautiful face looked very serious.

"We have to go through the cave as soon as possible to join the dwarven prospecting team, and we can only take a little risk." Audrey looked at the Gorgon, "Which one of the three passages is relatively the safest?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the three roads are not safe, but the second passage is the shortest." Medea played with a glass bead and said thoughtfully, "'The Peeping Eye' found three scavengers lurking in the tunnel dome ahead. , As for how many scavengers are hidden in places that cannot be detected by eyeballs, it is hard to say."

"That is to say, if we choose this path, we must guard against the attack of scavengers."

"That's right, but fighting scavengers in narrow and deep tunnels is not a pleasant experience. It's better to lure these disgusting monsters out, and it's easier to deal with them in open areas."

Medea made a serious suggestion.

"Joan, how much do you know about scavengers?" Hailar looked at the young mage naturally, as if he was a walking "encyclopedia".

"I haven't dealt with scavengers before, I just saw the introduction of this strange insect in the book."

Joan recalled the description of the carrion worm in "Vares Monster Illustrated Book (Strange Volume)", and then said:

"Scavengers are a type of aggressive underground scavengers. They are about the same size as blood mosses and look like huge worms."

"The digestive system of scavengers is relatively primitive. They cannot digest fresh flesh and can only absorb rotten food. Compared with blood moss, scavengers have no advantages in size, strength or the sharpness of their teeth, but they have A unique weapon is the thick tentacles that grow around the lower jaw."

"These barbed whip-like tentacles are a bit like the tentacle's tentacles, and they also contain toxins that can paralyze creatures, but the size is not as long as the tentacle's."

"In addition, the abdomen of scavengers can secrete a viscous liquid, which can crawl upside down on the ceiling like a snail, always taking advantage of the unsuspecting prey, and suddenly jumping down from the top of the head to launch a fatal attack."

Finally, Joan concluded:

"My understanding of scavengers is just from the records in books, which may not be true. Everyone should listen to Medea and try to lure those strange insects out of the tunnel first."

"Wrestling with a group of bearded worms in a narrow tunnel, just thinking about it gives people goosebumps. The question is how can we lure the scavengers out?" Hailar asked with a frown.

"The intelligence of scavengers is very low, but their sense of smell is very sensitive. If we can manage to get some carrion and pile them outside the cave door, we should be able to lure these gluttonous bugs out." Medea said after thinking.

"Fresh flesh and blood is easy to obtain, but waiting for flesh and blood to rot is too troublesome." Audrey looked sad.

Joan's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered the necromantic third-level spell "Sands of Time" that he had just learned not long ago, which can accelerate the aging of living things or objects.

If you cast "Sands of Time" on a fresh monster corpse, it can theoretically make it quickly decompose, exuding a strong rancid smell, as if it has been left for a long time.

However, if it is only used to accelerate the decay of flesh and blood, the magic power of the "Sands of Time" is too strong. It can age the corpse for 40 years in an instant. I am afraid that the bones are moldy, so how can there be any rotten flesh?

If you reduce the magic power output, you can achieve the purpose of reducing the degree of aging, but this is a bit troublesome. Joan needs to spend some time to adjust the spell configuration of "Sands of Time".
