Chapter 1494 God Chicken
Gently touching the diamond inlaid on the belt buckle, Joan activated the "Stone Skin Technique", a golden luster emerged from his body surface, as if coated with a texture resembling granite, making his skin harder than steel.
These spells and supernatural abilities greatly enhanced Joan's defense, coupled with the floating "iron maiden", turned him into a living human fortress.
This is just the basic operation, the next is the highlight.
Joan took out a pre-prepared blood awakening agent from the interlayer of the belt, shook it well and injected it into his own veins, and then took out a gray-blue feather that resembled a rock from the spell-casting material bag, and matched it with the cast ahead of time. Prepared 4-ring "Transfiguration".
"Ahya!"
Whispering a activating spell representing "change", Joan's body twisted and swelled dramatically, transforming from a handsome and delicate human boy into a huge and ferocious "mythical cockatrice"!
With the blessing of the "Form Stability Ring", Joan can maintain the deformed state for up to 10 hours. Although this appearance is not very flattering, Joan himself is quite satisfied.
Shaking his hard wings and twisting his long and slender neck, Joan let out a low cooing sound, using the technique of "wild spellcasting" to replace chanting spellcasting spells with cock crowing, and activated "advanced internal vision" to check himself The physical condition after becoming a mythical cockatrice.
...
Attributes (belt +6): Strength 26, Dexterity 23, Constitution 28, Intelligence 33, Wisdom 20, Charisma 22
Special abilities of this form: natural defense (equivalent to scale armor), mythical stone armor (damage reduction 3 energy levels/legendary weapon or artifact, rebound melee damage × 1 energy level), mythical evasion, petrification aura;
...
Joan nodded in satisfaction, his sharp eyes pierced through the magic darkness, looking at the enemy army climbing up the hillside.
Leto's army consists of four types of arms.
Ordinary goblins had the largest number, followed by hobgoblins and wargs, and a small number of bear goblins who served as scouts.
Joan used "Advanced Internal Vision" to check the physical attributes of these four creatures, focusing on the "Physical" and "Agility" attributes.
The reason why he turned into the form of the mythical cockatrice is to use the unique mythical ability of this monster, "Petrochemical Aura", to carry out large-scale and continuous killing of the enemy.
How effective "Petrochemical Aura" can be received mainly depends on the enemy's physique and agility attributes.
The paper jointly published by Qiao An and Medea has proved that creatures with stronger physiques are more resistant to the "petrification effect", and are less likely to be recruited.
If the constitution of the target creature is not strong enough to resist the "petrification effect", then he will receive 1 point of agility damage every second he stays in the radiation range of the "petrification aura", until the agility attribute returns to zero, and finally turns into a stone statue .
It can be seen from this that creatures with higher agility attributes will last longer under the radiation of "Petrochemical Aura", and have a greater chance of escaping the radiation range.
In the blink of an eye, Joan had scouted all the enemies on the mountainside.
Judging from the data fed back by "Advanced Internal Vision", the average agility attribute of ordinary goblins is about 13, and the average constitution attribute is about 12.
Bear goblins are stronger than ordinary goblins, with an average agility attribute of 13 and a constitution attribute of 16.
Hobgoblins have the best overall qualities among all goblin subspecies, with an average of 15 in agility, and no less physical properties than bear goblins, with an average of around 16.
The average value of the wolf's agility and constitution attributes is around 15.
Judging from the physical data of these monsters, the troop brought by the hobgoblin lord to participate in the battle is indeed a carefully selected elite division. Even if it is just a small and wretched goblin, its agility and physical attributes are obviously beyond the average human. level.
Qiao An did a quick mental calculation. From a statistical point of view, even the "Bear Goblin" and "Hobgoblin" with the highest physical attributes, the probability of successfully resisting the "Petrochemical Aura" is no more than one in ten.
Once eroded by the "Petrochemical Aura", it doesn't need to be completely petrified. As long as the agility attribute is reduced to about 6 points, it is basically equivalent to a handicapped disabled person. Weapons can overwhelm them and make them unable to walk.
While Joan was silently calculating, the first group of hobgoblin knights who escaped from the torrent had already climbed up the mountainside accompanied by the wargs, swung their swords and split the bushes blocking the way, and approached the upper pass panting.
Joan stood in the center of the "Darkness Matrix", inspired a "power of myth", and quietly activated the "Petrochemical Aura".
The "petrified aura" with a radiation radius of up to 30 feet has a faint grayish-white luster, which is very inconspicuous in the dark, and with the cover of bushes and "darkness", it is almost invisible.
The hobgoblins and worgs who were at the forefront didn't even realize that they had unknowingly stepped into the abyss leading to death, and they were still on their way.
After walking forward for a certain distance, he bumped head-on into the area covered by the "Darkness Matrix", and his eyes were suddenly pitch black, as if he had plunged headfirst into an ink tank.
"what happened?"
"Why is it so dark in here!"
"Could it be something wrong with my eyes?"
The wolf cavalry stopped one after another, their faces full of bewilderment.
At this moment, they finally realized that the situation was not good, turned around and retreated hastily, but it was too late.
Just as he was about to move his feet, he was horrified to realize that his hands and feet could not be controlled, and his skin became stiff and numb.
The gray-white rock texture quickly spread on the hobgoblin and worg's body surface. If they struggled violently, the hardened skin would crack and ooze blood, causing intense pain.
Ten seconds later, the group of wolf cavalry who broke into the trap first, before they even had time to call for help, turned into stiff stone sculptures and disappeared into the deep darkness.
Not long after, another group of goblins climbed up the mountainside along the road pioneered by the pioneers, and crashed into the "Darkness Matrix" in a daze, and then fell silent, as if several stones had sunk into a deep well.
A few minutes later, the third group of enemy troops crashed into the "Darkness Matrix". One of them was tripped by the stone statue and fell to the ground with a cry of alarm, rolling and falling down the sloping hillside. Turned over the stone statue.
A hobgoblin knight who came after him stretched out his hand to grab his companion who had rolled down. Looking at the stone statue lying frozen on the mountainside, his face suddenly became ugly.
"Hey! Guys, look, isn't that guy Matthew? How did he become a stone statue?!"
"Go over and have a look, I'm afraid there is an accident ahead!"
The hobgoblin wolf cavalry argued in one voice.
