Chapter 1209 The Flail Snail (Ⅰ)

The flail snail looked around in confusion, but in the end it was still unable to determine where the guy who made the "grunt" sound was hiding, so he gave up searching, turned around, and continued to enjoy the ore feast.

Joan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and while the flail snail turned its back to him, he activated the "advanced internal vision technique" to peek into its details.

...

Reconnaissance target: Elderly flail snails (supernatural mollusks, gastropods, stalk-eyed large magical beasts; earth subspecies)

Attributes: Strength 18, Dexterity 7, Constitution 20, Intelligence 4, Wisdom 12, Charisma 14

...

Joan's spellcasting level is not high enough to see the special ability of the flail snail, only the species classification and six attributes are displayed.

After quickly checking the attributes of the flail snail, Joan found that its strength and physique were very high, and what impressed him the most was the intelligence attribute of the flail snail.

4 points of intelligence may not seem high, but the intelligence attributes of the scavengers and petrified lizards that Joan encountered not long ago were only 1 point and 2 points respectively. In comparison, the flail snail, which is also a "magic beast", is much smarter than them many.

While Joan was observing secretly, the flail snail seemed to sense that someone was casting a spell on itself, and a silver halo quickly appeared on the transparent volute, as if it was covered with a shield.

Joan was secretly surprised when he saw this, and tried to identify the silver shield on the flail snail, but before he could see the mystery, the flail snail proved his wit with practical actions.

This huge snail turned around on the spot and crawled around the suspicious area in circles. The slimy secretion left by the passage was slightly reflective, and it was obviously extremely viscous before it was completely solidified into crystals.

The flail snail is currently unable to determine where the suspicious creature that was spying on it is hiding, but it is not difficult to circle the general location where the other party is hiding, that is, within the range of the mucus trail it left behind.

The flail snail crawls circle after circle, each circle having a slightly smaller radius than the previous circle. The crawling trajectory is very similar to the threads on its volute, forming a set of flashing reverse spirals on the surface, constantly moving towards the circle. within approach.

Joan didn't understand at first, what was the big snail trying to do by circling around him?

However, when he noticed that the trail of slime dragged behind the flail snail formed a set of anti-spirals, he immediately realized that something was wrong!

The flail snail is searching in a way that keeps approaching, and if it keeps approaching, sooner or later it will find his hiding place.

Prompted by a sense of crisis, Joan stood on tiptoe, held his breath, and tiptoed away from the flail snail.

Just a few steps out, the soles of my feet suddenly slipped, I slid, and fell on the spot.

Joan grinned in pain, and tried to get up with his hands on the ground, but found that his left foot was stuck to the ground and could not be lifted.

Looking down, he realized that his left foot had stepped on the transparent secretion left by the flail snail after it crawled.

This slippery secretion, until it dries completely and solidifies into glass-like crystals, is nothing but a puddle of super-sticky glue!

Qiao An accidentally stepped on it, was stuck tightly, struggled twice, but still couldn't lift her foot.

After such a lot of tossing, his "invisibility" had failed, and his figure automatically emerged, immediately arousing the vigilance of the flail snail, swinging four tentacles that looked like meteor hammers, and smashed at him head-on and face-to-face.

Joan took off his boots in a hurry and rolled on the ground with his bare left foot, narrowly avoiding the beating of the flail snail.

Climbing up in embarrassment, when he looked up, the flail snail turned around on the spot and chased after him relentlessly.

Qiao An didn't expect that this seemingly meek snail would have such a hot temper.

I didn't provoke it very much, I just hid in the dark and took a peek, but in the end it provoked fierce revenge, what a narrow-minded guy!

Joan originally didn't want to hurt the flail snail. This is not to say that he is kind, but mainly because he thinks that keeping the flail snail can be used as a free guide.

The flail snail is naturally good at searching for magic crystal veins, and its intuition in this regard is unmatched by humans or dwarves. As long as it follows behind, it is possible to find magic crystal deposits.

In fact, Joan has found signs of ore veins along the way, which shows that the flail snail is indeed a natural prospecting expert.

However, the reality did not conform to his idea. Facing this crazy flail snail, he didn't care about prospecting, he had to save his own life first.

Seeing that the flail snail shook its head and swung the four natural flails into the wind, it was about to hit it head-on, Joan quickly threw the "Iron Maiden" into the air, chanted a mantra, and switched to tower shield mode.

Boom!

The four hammer heads hit the crystal steel plate almost simultaneously, and the roar echoed in the grotto.

The "Iron Maiden" floating in front of Joan trembled slightly, and no obvious scars could be seen on the surface of the shield. The flail snail's antenna chain hammer was bounced back and hit its own volute, making a bang sound.

This round of head-to-head attack and defense showed that the flail snail's tentacled chain hammer could not penetrate the tower shield composed of four layers of crystal steel plates.

With confidence in his heart, Joan quickly made a spell-casting gesture, poked his head out from the side of the tower shield, and raised his hand to send a magic missile at the flail snail.

"Vala!"

Four purple missiles tore through the air, dragged graceful arcs, and shot at the four tentacles on the flail snail's head respectively.

The flail snail was very vigilant, and when it heard Joan chanting a mantra, it immediately ducked back into its shell. The four missiles lost their sniper targets and bombarded the snail's shell one after another, and were immediately bounced back by the silver shield covering the snail's shell.

Joan saw this scene through the crystal steel shield, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

At the same time, four magic missiles bypassed the tower shield and all hit Joan himself.

Fortunately, he blessed the "shield technique" in advance to block the backlash of the magic missile, but he was hit by the impact and retreated four steps in a row, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Vares Monster Illustrated Book (Magic Beast Volume)" has an introduction about the flail snail. Joan knew from the book that its shell has the magical effect of rebounding magic, so when he cast the magic missile just now, he deliberately avoided the snail shell , locking the tentacles above the head of the flail snail as a sniper target.

However, when the flail snail retracted into its shell, Joan's calculations were in vain, and the magic missile was bounced back by the volute after all, almost causing him to suffer the consequences.

Since the shell of the flail snail is so perverted, Joan dare not cast magic on it.

Seeing this wretched big snail popping out of its shell again, Qiao An was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to try to get out of the predicament first.

However, on the ground around him, there were circles of dense mucus marks, and when he stepped on it, he was stuck, and there was no way to go.
