Chapter 1196 Blind Battle (Ⅱ)
The closed eyes quietly opened a slit, and Medea quickly glanced towards the opposite side, confirming that the three petrified lizards were blind and unable to perform "Petrified Gaze".
Audrey did not waste the excellent situation created by the joint spellcasting of Hyrule and Medea, and cast the paladin level 1 divine spell "Forced Duel" at the right time to grab a petrified lizard.
The simple-minded lizard, restrained by the divine spell, gave up attacking Joan, who was obviously closer to him, resisted the pain in his eyes, turned around and rushed towards Miss Paladin in silver armor, holding a large shield and a long sword .
As a result, he bumped into the "iron plate" head-on, and was slapped on the face by Audrey's fierce "shield blow".
Klein and Scholz blocked the other two petrified lizards, and while they were injured by the "fireball technique", their eyes were hard to open, and they took the turn of the war hammer to hit them head-on.
Qiao An quickly observed the situation on the battlefield, and found that his side had an absolute advantage, and he could easily deal with the three petrified lizards without taking action himself, so he switched his perspective to the Eagle Eye observation point to monitor the movement inside the navel.
The three observation points were switched in turn. The good news is that the five petrified lizards entrenched in the nest in the middle of the navel were not disturbed by the fighting outside, and they still dozed off as usual.
There is another piece of bad news, that is, the remaining petrified lizard in the nearby nest, although not affected by Holden's "Ecstasy", after a long period of hesitation, especially when he heard the sound of fighting outside. , finally made up his mind, stepped forward with eight thick short legs, and crawled towards the entrance of the cave.
Qiao An thought for a while, then turned to look at the mature scavenger he had subdued, and issued a mental command.
This giant worm has been "soy sauce" for a long time, and under the command of its master, it crawled to the vicinity of the exit of the navel, lay down in the gutter, and quietly lurked.
Within two minutes, heavy footsteps came from the entrance of the cave.
The fourth petrified lizard poked its head out, looked around vigilantly, and found that its own kind was fighting fiercely with a group of humans, and no one was paying attention to it, so it crawled out of the navel lightly, and rushed towards Scholz's back, intending to pounce first. Down this little guy.
However, the petrified lizard never dreamed that its every move had already fallen into the schemes of others. Just when it was planning to attack the dwarves, a giant worm quietly appeared from the gutter behind it, and suddenly jumped on its back, and its eight tentacles were tightly entangled. Its neck frantically releases paralyzing toxins.
The petrified lizard screamed in horror, desperately turned its body around, and glared at the giant worm that was attacking it. Its wide eyes sparked two beams of green light containing petrified magic power!
However, the scavengers, whose vision has already been seriously degraded, didn't look at it at all. They clamped the petrified lizard's neck with a pair of strong jaws, preventing it from opening its mouth to fight back. Inject paralytic toxin.
The adult scavengers outnumbered the petrified lizards in size and strength, firmly controlling the initiative in hand-to-hand combat.
The sight of the petrified lizard is useless to the "quasi-blind" scavengers living in the gutter, but it cannot withstand the surge of toxins in its body, and its body gradually becomes limp, unable to resist.
Joan remembered that Medea had said that he wanted to catch alive, so he issued a mental command to stop the scavenger from continuing to bite the already limp petrified lizard, and ordered it to drag the captive aside, keep it under strict supervision, and hand it over to Medea later. Dia disposal.
On the other side of the battlefield, the remaining three petrified lizards had been jointly killed by Audrey, Hyrule, Medea, Klein, and Scholz. No one was injured, and it was a complete victory.
The battle came to an end temporarily, and everyone returned to the shelter to rest.
Medea wanted to take the opportunity to study the captured petrified lizard, but unfortunately, that guy was injected with too much paralytic toxin by the scavengers, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, even his breathing and heartbeat became very weak.
Medea circled twice around the paralyzed lizard, sometimes squatting down to take a sneak peek, and then returned to Joan, whispering secretively in his ear.
"It's just a male, catch a female later, it's just a pair!"
"On the battlefield, it's hard to tell which basilisk is the male and which is the female." Joan replied in embarrassment.
"Don't worry about that. Through careful observation, I have mastered the trick of distinguishing the sex of basilisks. It is male and female, and you can recognize them at a glance!"
Medea put her hands on her hips, proudly raised her head, and her pair of majestic peaks bounced and trembled, as if she was also showing her confidence.
The magic power of the "Tremor Perception" potion prepared by Joan can only last for 80 minutes.
The battle just now took half an hour, and everyone didn't want to waste the remaining medicinal power. They only rested in the shelter for about ten minutes, and then regrouped to eliminate the remaining five petrified lizards in the navel.
The lair where these petrified lizards gather is relatively far from the entrance to the navel. If Holden still stands outside the door and plays the flute, the sound of the flute cannot reach the ears of those big lizards.
In order to lure them out, Holden thought it necessary to take some risks, go deep into the navel, and play "Ecstasy" near the lair. After attracting the basilisks, he walked back while blowing until the audience behind him was drawn out. navel.
In this way, the shelter cannot be kept.
It doesn't matter, after the battle just now, everyone's confidence and experience in dealing with the petrified lizards have been greatly improved. In fact, there is no need to keep the shelter.
Even so, everyone was still worried that Holden would enter the navel alone as a bait, especially Audrey, who insisted on going with him in case her brother might make a mistake.
If it is necessary to bring a "nanny", Holden thinks that anyone can do it, but he refuses his sister to follow him, and plausibly claims that Audrey will keep nagging beside him, making him unable to concentrate on playing " Ecstasy".
Of course, Audrey couldn't accept this reason and was so angry that she wanted to beat her younger brother, but Joan also felt that she was not the best person to protect Holden personally. In contrast, Brother Klein was more qualified for this role.
"Mr. Klein is a high-level 'earth walker', and he understands the geographical environment of the Underdark better than all of us, and he can cast the 'any door' at will, and there is no obstacle that can stop him."
"After Holden enters the navel, in case something happens to happen, such as the escape route is blocked by a monster that we haven't found yet, as long as Mr. Klein is by his side, there is nothing to worry about. Just turn on the 'Any door', and Holden can be teleported out anytime and anywhere."
Joan's suggestion was highly praised by Klein, and other companions also unanimously supported it. Audrey couldn't stand her own opinion anymore, so she took a 2-ring "caring technique" on her younger brother, telling him to be more careful and not to die.
