Chapter 1715 Crabman Monk
"In Lord Shanruyar's court, besides the guard captain Cato before defecting, there are also two favored close ministers, one named Abbas and the other named Masudi." The fish monster replied.
"Tell me about Abbas and Masudi." Joan asked blankly.
"Abbas is a ferocious giant octopus. Originally, it had great strength but no brains. Later, Lord Shanruyar cast some kind of magic on it, making this huge sea beast as smart as our fish monsters... Even more cunning!" the fish monster replied timidly.
Joan frowned slightly, lost in thought.
The intelligence level of fish monsters is similar to that of humans, while the ferocious giant octopus is just a mutated wild animal. Its intelligence level is not much different from that of ordinary octopuses, only 1 point.
The intelligence attribute was increased from 1 point to 10 points. Joan guessed that Shanruyal probably applied the "Enlightenment" or similar psychic powers to the vicious giant octopus named Abbas.
"There is also Masudi, it is an armored monster, different from other armored monsters that can only fight by instinct, Masudi also has an 8th-level fighter profession, and his strength is comparable to that of Kato." The fish monster replied.
"Ambush monster" is also a kind of aquatic strange monster, its size and danger are much larger than that of fish monster.
Joan has seen illustrations of this creature in the "Vares Monster Illustrated Book" (strange volume), the adult mesomorph is like a huge crayfish with four long legs, and it also has the characteristics of cephalopods , the wriggling tentacles look particularly ghostly.
"Dr. Vader!" Cosette suddenly shouted in surprise from behind, "I got in touch with Patty just now!"
"Did she send you a 'short message technique'?" Joan turned and asked the moth girl.
"It's not texting, it's telepathy! Patty has a magic pearl, and when the magic power contained in the pearl is activated, Patty can establish a spiritual connection with someone within 10 miles and perform telepathy."
After hearing her description, Joan understood that the pearl in Patty's hand was probably a magical device with 5 rings of "spiritual connection".
"Patty saw the teleportation brilliance before, and guessed that we rushed to find her, so she tried to contact me with the 'telepathic communication pearl', and it really succeeded. Now Patty and I can communicate telepathically at any time!" Ke Sai Said very excitedly.
"Ask Patty, which direction is the cave where she and Cato are hiding, and how far is it from us?" Joan added, "Since Patty saw the magical radiance when we teleported over, it shouldn't be difficult. Visually measure the relative distance."
"Patty asked us to go north along the river bed, about three miles away from here, and she hid in the cave on the left side of the river bank." Cosette said.
Joan snapped his fingers, and then a ball of magic light rose in the air, like a lantern hanging in the darkness, drifting northward along the river bank.
"Let's follow the 'dancing lights technique', but don't get too close, lest we attract monsters lurking in the dark to attack. If Patty sees this ball of light, let her send a signal and point us to the hiding place."
"Understood!"
Cosette got into the crystal steel tower built by the "Iron Maiden", kept a hundred feet away from the ball of light, and spread her wings over the river bed.
Joan also fluttered his wings into the air and flew forward for a certain distance. Suddenly, he remembered something and landed. He first cast the third-level necromancy spell "Control Corpse" to transform the corpses of the four fish monsters into zombies, and then extracted 4 "mythical powers" poured negative energy into the fish monster zombies one by one, blessed with "corpse explosion", controlled the four "undead bombs" to go north along the river bed, and spread their wings and glide over the heads of the zombies .
Within ten minutes of flying out, Joan saw the rock wall on the left side of the river bank full of holes, and there was a violet cold light floating above one of the holes, which seemed to be a ball of "demon fire".
"Dr. Vader, have you seen that ball of 'demon fire'?" Cosette pointed to the cave half a mile away, and said excitedly: "It's the signal from Patty!"
"I see, let's go quickly."
Qiao An flew another distance, and suddenly heard the sound of splashing water coming from the front, illuminated by the group of "demon fire", a few black shadows could be vaguely seen rushing out of the river, it seemed like a group of fish monsters, they quickly landed on the shore Surround the cave where Patty is hiding.
The two fish monsters in the lead rushed straight into the entrance of the cave, and then there were two muffled bangs, and the fish monsters that had just entered the cave flew out one after another, lying on the ground and moaning in pain, as if they were seriously injured.
Joan waved off the "Dancing Lights", and whispered to Cosette to be more careful, and activated the "Eagle Eye" attached to the prosthetic eye by herself, and established an invisible observation point above the cave where the conflict occurred.
Joan controlled the four zombies to move forward, and at the same time switched the perspective to the top of the cave to observe the conflict scene nearby.
A tall and strong humanoid creature blocked the entrance of the cave tightly to prevent the fish monsters from entering. The outline of the figure is a bit like an ogre, but it has distinctive features of a crustacean creature. It seems that it was influenced by Patty and betrayed Shanluar Crabman Monk Kato.
In the depths of the cave, soft light emanates from Patty the Underworld, illuminating the broad back of the Crabman monk. The thick cyan carapace is like a natural plate armor covering the whole body, giving people an intuitive impression of being indestructible.
What made Joan even more memorable was the pair of forelegs of the Crab Monk.
Cato's left arm is similar to a human's arm, only thicker, with only three fingers on his left palm; his right limb resembles a huge crab claw, with sharp serrated teeth on the inside of the claw, just like a natural weapon!
...
Reconnaissance target: large humanoid monster (aquatic subspecies)
Attributes: Strength 26, Dexterity 14, Constitution 20, Intelligence 8, Wisdom 20, Charisma 10
Special ability: unknown
...
Just when Joan was using "advanced internal vision" to secretly detect the physical attributes of the crab monk Cato, no less than thirty fish monsters had gathered in front of the cave, yelling and cursing at Cato, but the other party remained silent. Just quietly blocking the entrance of the cave, like a human-shaped barrier, silent and firm, unbreakable.
Of course, the fish monsters knew how powerful the former chief guard of the palace was, especially the huge and hard pincers on Cato's right arm, which crushed their heads as easily as a nutcracker crushed a nut.
Kato blocked the entrance of the cave by himself, and the fish monster was limited by the terrain, so he couldn't take advantage of the large number of people. If he went up to confront this mighty monk, he might kneel before he could resist a punch.
The two daredevils who broke into the cave just now are a lesson from the past—each of them was thrown out of the cave after only being punched by Cato. I don’t know how many bones were broken, and they are still lying on the ground and unable to get up.
