Chapter 1197 Lizard Blood (Ⅰ)
Joan blessed Klein with the "Secondary Mind Connection". After the preparations were complete, the dwarf elder brother took the young poet and disappeared into a distorted silver halo, and instantly teleported to the middle of the navel, in a straight line with the petrified lizard's lair. In an open field about 60 feet away.
Joan quickly switched the viewing angle to the eagle eye observation point near the teleportation point, closely monitoring the five petrified lizards that were still dozing off in the nest.
After waiting for about a minute, Joan heard the melodious and familiar flute sound through the observation point.
The petrified lizards in the lair were also startled by the sound of the flute, and got up one after another, looking blankly at the place where the sound came from.
One of the most slender petrified lizards has no horns, but a crown of bony horns protrudes from the top of its head, as if wearing a crown of queens. It has the most keen sense of music. He squinted his eyes enjoying it, completely intoxicated by the melodious and moving music.
When Holden incorporated "suggestion" in "Ecstasy", the first-born crowned basilisk was the first to respond to the hint and left the nest, just like a fan following an idol, quickly looking for the flute player.
Beside it, two petrified lizards were also confused by the sound of the flute, and they crawled out of the nest.
The last two petrified lizards were not controlled by the magic power of "Ecstasy", but they seemed to care about the slender, horned lizard of the same kind, and hurriedly followed, like bodyguards.
Seeing that all five petrified lizards were attracted, Joan quickly reminded Klein to be careful through the "secondary telepathic connection", and then switched the perspective to the observation point near the exit of the umbilical cord, waiting nervously.
The sound of the flute drifted from far to near, indicating that Holden was playing the flute while walking towards the exit.
Not long after, Joan saw the figure of the poet and the dwarf walking fast, not far behind them, followed by the petrified lizard with horned crown, and the other four petrified lizards landed a little farther away .
The tactic of luring the enemy was half successful. Feeling relieved, Qiao An switched back to the main body and reminded his companions to prepare for battle. He also opened the spell-casting material package and took out a glass vial encapsulating phosphorous fire.
After the battle just now, Joan realized that although the petrified lizard is strong and has rough skin and thick flesh, its willpower is relatively weak, and it is easy to be controlled by spells or supernatural abilities of the enchantment system, such as Holden's "Ecstasy" And "suggestion", always work on this group of simple-minded lizards.
Inspired by this, Qiao An was ready to perform the arcane "hypnotic pattern" of the 3-ring enchantment school.
The magic power at the exit of the navel surged, and a silver light door opened out of nowhere, and Klein walked out holding Holden's hand.
Seeing that the two returned safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, closed their eyes one after another, and instead used "tremor perception" to observe the outside world, waiting for the petrified lizard to arrive.
Holden was still concentrating on playing the flute, and the sound of the flute lingered in the dark valley.
Attracted by the sound of the flute, the three petrified lizards got out of the navel one after another, and surrounded the young poet, listening with their heads up, fascinated.
The two petrified lizards that climbed out of the navel later appeared to be more alert because they were not affected by the "Ecstasy". Their green eyes widened and they cast hostile gazes at the young poet who was playing the flute.
"Vanima!"
Joan didn't give the two petrified lizards a chance to disrupt the situation, and decisively threw the magic phosphorous fire vial in his hand.
The glass bottle exploded in the air, and the weak phosphorous fire exploded violently, transforming into a ball of colorful light, firmly attracting the sight of the two petrified lizards.
Under the joint control of "Ecstasy" and "Hypnotic Pattern", all basilisks are in a state of fascination, either obsessed with listening to music, or staring at the dazzling light ball hovering in the sky, completely forgetting where they are .
"Hácala!"
The moment after Joan cast the spell, Medea threw rose petals mixed with fine sand with her hand, locked on the petrified lizard with horned crown, and cast the 3-ring enchantment arcane "deep sleep", causing the monster to wake up. He let out a big yawn, then closed his eyes, and fell asleep soundly.
The corners of Medea's lips rose, showing joy. The female petrified lizard hypnotized by her happens to be a pair with the male that Joan just caught, which can be used to breed petrified lizard eggs.
Audrey, Hyrule, Klein, and Scholz were not idle either. While the other four petrified lizards were bewildered by the sound of Holden's flute and Joan's spell, they just went around in a daze and quietly walked behind them. , holding the sharp blade and warhammer tightly with both hands, exerting all his strength, and suddenly launched an attack!
After several screams, the four defenseless petrified lizards fell down in a pool of blood one after another, and they all died within a short time.
Now, except for the one petrified lizard captured by Joan and Medea, all the other eight petrified lizards have been killed, and the obstacles that have troubled the dwarf prospecting team for days are finally eliminated.
After the battle, Klein led a group of prospectors back to the umbilicus, searched for two lizard lairs, and carried out the petrified dwarf miners.
A total of eight miners were petrified, and the stone statues of three of them had been eaten by petrified lizards, so there was no possibility of resurrection.
Fortunately, dwarves are not that sentimental race. Klein led his men to bury the three mutilated stone statues in the valley, and held a simple but solemn funeral. Afterwards, he found Joan and asked him if there was any way for the five statues to be buried. The intact stone statues turned back into flesh and blood.
"The fifth-level arcane 'Break Barrier' can undo petrification. I carry the scroll of 'Break Barrier' with me, but..." Qiao An hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, how much is the scroll plus the casting cost? Brother will definitely not lose you a copper coin!" Klein patted Joan's shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother, I know you are thin-skinned. Sorry to talk about money, but friendship is friendship, business is business, only by distinguishing between the two can our friendship last forever!"
"You are right, but the key issue is not money, but the fact that I only have three 'Barrier Breaking' scrolls in my hand, but there are five people waiting to be rescued here, Mr. Klein, who do you think I should save first? ?" Joan asked.
"This..."
Klein's eyes wandered back and forth on the five stone statues placed side by side in front of him, hesitating.
"If not, I'll use the 'Teleportation' scroll to go back to school, then buy two 'Barrier Breaking' scrolls, and then teleport back."
"It's possible, but it's just too much trouble, brother, when will you be back?" Klein asked.
Joan took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and replied: "It's already past nine o'clock at night on the surface of the earth, and the department that sells spell scrolls in the school library has closed. I have to wait until tomorrow morning to buy the scrolls."
