Chapter 1587 Missile Storm

"Okay, you jump down!"

Anyway, it's less than half a mile from here to the goblin's lair, and Joan doesn't mind giving Duo'er a ride.

Duo'er jumped down from the branch and landed lightly on the snake lizard's back, touched the smooth and cool violet scales, and simply lay on his back, supporting the snake lizard's flat and broad back with her elbows, resting her chin with her hands, He bent his legs, swayed his slender feet leisurely as before, and hummed a song comfortably.

Except for the two lumps clinging to his back, Joan could barely feel Duo'er's weight, and crawled forward.

The snake lizard crawls on land. It looks slow, but its size is huge. Converted to speed per hour, it is actually faster than ordinary people running at full speed.

After a while, Joan came to the lair where the goblin was hiding, and his huge body almost completely blocked the entrance of the lair.

Joan tried to poke a head into the nest, stretching his neck to search for the hiding place of the goblins.

The light in the lair is dim. Fortunately, the snake lizard is a magical beast with "dark vision". Its vision is not affected by non-magical darkness. Goblins, all can see clearly.

After some investigation, Qiao An had a solid idea, and then stretched the remaining eleven long necks into the lair one after another, locked on the goblins within the field of vision, and cast "Frozen Ray".

In the originally silent lair, there was first the hiss of the snake lizard chanting the casting spell, and then twelve ice-blue magic rays flashed out, followed by the howls of goblins one after another.

In this round of multi-casting, Joan's hit rate has improved significantly compared to the previous round.

"Mr. Vader, you have shot nine goblins. Your grades have improved. Please continue to work hard!"

Duo'er lay on Qiao An's back, recorded the experimental data casually, and did not forget to give encouragement.

Joan himself was quite satisfied, and found that the goblin hit by the "Freezing Ray" was still moaning and struggling, so he turned his head to "make up the knife".

The vitality of goblins is not as good as that of ordinary adults among humans. After being hit by two consecutive "freezing rays", they are basically dead.

Joan got rid of the unusable experimental body, confirmed that there were no goblins near the entrance of the cave, twisted his body, got into the entrance of the cave, and slowly advanced into the depths of the lair.

The lair where the goblins were hiding was actually a narrow valley, with a tunnel sandwiched between sloping cliffs on both sides. A hundred feet above the head, a line of moon sky obscured by plant branches could be seen faintly.

When Joan came to Bailun Mountain to carry out the military mission to hunt and kill Pelidon, he used the "Eagle Eye Technique" to investigate the topography of the Nest Headquarters in detail. The topographic map of this area is still preserved in the navigation compass. The environment he is in at this moment can be said to be well known.

He knew very well that there was no second exit for this winding tunnel sandwiched between the cliffs, and the end was blocked by a cliff that was almost vertical to the ground. The goblin didn't have wings like Peridon, and the steep rock wall was inconvenient to climb. , was blocked deep in the lair, and in the end there was only one dead end.

Joan moved forward unhurriedly, and was interrupted in the canyon. The open area originally used by Peridon to house beast eggs and serve as a nursery room encountered the most tenacious resistance of the goblins.

These little green-skinned thugs seemed to realize that there was no way to escape, so they summoned up the rare courage to hide behind the rocks, and threw stones, crude javelins, hornet's nests and everything they could at Joan's twelve-headed cold snake lizard. Get all the weapons.

These ridiculous attack methods, of course, cannot hurt Joan, who has the triple protection of "extraordinary elegance", "stone skin technique" and natural scale armor. Give the goblins some flair and smash their hold.

Joan entered the state of "natural spellcasting" again, swinging twelve heads, hissing sound imitating spells in his mouth, triggering an unprecedentedly strong tremor of the magic net.

In the previous battles, including the training in the laboratory, Joan had been using "Frozen Rays" with multi-headed spellcasting.

This is not only because the 0-level trick is the least difficult, but also because multi-point casting consumes a lot of spell slots. A round of volley will use up 12 spell slots. Except for the 0-level trick with unlimited spell slots, other levels The number of higher spell slots is limited, not enough for each snake head to cast a spell once.

At this moment, Qiao An changed his previous practice and still "cast spells with multiple heads". This time, what he released was no longer "Frozen Ray", but a higher-level and more powerful "Magic Missile".

Level 1 Arcane "Magic Missile", as the level of the caster increases, the number of shaped missiles will also increase, but there are only five at most, and each missile will cause 1 energy level of force field damage on average.

With Joan's current mana, he has long been able to exert the maximum power of "Magic Missile", but he only has 7 1st-level spell slots available, and only 4 of 1st-level spell slots are prepared for "Magic Missile", which is far from enough For twelve heads to fire at the same time.

In order to realize the synchronous release of magic missiles by multiple heads, Qiao An extracted all 8 "Sid's mana" today in one go, just to make up for the lack of 1st-level spell slots, so that all heads can launch "magic missiles" at the same time.

"Hiss (Vala)!"

Joan's twelve heads completed the spellcasting process simultaneously, chanted the last activation spell amid the desperate resistance of the goblins, and blasted out "magic missiles" at the same time.

Each lizard head fired 5 missiles, and the twelve heads added up to blast out a total of 60 purple missiles in an instant, whizzing and flying in all directions like a violent storm.

Joan's mental power, that is, the "brood will" of the twelve cold snake lizards, has been raised to an unprecedented level of concentration, synchronously controlling 60 missiles fired by the twelve heads, and designating a target for each missile !

Just a few minutes ago, when Qiao An released the "Frozen Ray" with multiple spells, he couldn't even guarantee to hit 12 targets at the same time, but now he is trying to hit 60 targets at the same time. Could it be that he is too drifting and overestimated his ability ?

However, it is not.

Compared with "Frozen Ray", "Magic Missile" not only has higher lethality and longer range, but also has a huge advantage, that is, the fired missile has its own navigation and tracking function!

As long as the caster specifies the target to attack, he doesn't have to worry about hitting or not. The missile will lock on to the target and automatically track it. No matter how the opponent moves and dodges, it will still be hit in the end.

Therefore, Joan doesn't need to aim himself. It is enough to designate one goblin as a target for each of the 60 missiles. It is easier and has a higher hit rate than aiming at twelve targets at the same time to launch "Frozen Rays".

The sky was full of purple light, and the screams of goblins rang out one after another. When the lair returned to calm, Joan was surrounded by goblins who had been knocked down by magic missiles. , curled up on the ground and moaned in pain.
