Chapter 1799 Rock Essence Camp

Fortunately, the bats had completed their investigation mission before they disappeared, helping Joan find the lair where the theft suspect was hiding.

The location of the lair was beyond the detection range of the "Eagle Eye", so Joan opened the storage bag, took out the "remote viewing mirror", activated the fifth-level psychic power "remote viewing", and displayed the scene in the cave through the mirror .

The stone room where the coarse crystals were stored appeared again in Joan's field of vision. The creature that threw stones at the bat just now was only over three feet tall. Its thin body and gray complexion could easily be mistaken for a gnome.

Compared with the figure, the arms of this creature are extremely thick and strong, and the palms are also disproportionately wide. The strength is obviously much greater than that of the dwarf!

In addition, Joan also noticed that the eyebrows and eyes of this creature are very characteristic: the two thick eyebrows are like pitch-black brushes, and the eyeballs are off-white. There are no black eyeballs, and almost no pupils can be seen.

Emmm~ This "thick eyebrows" and "white eyes" look is so distinctive that it is unforgettable at first sight.

Based on these characteristics, Joan immediately thought of a creature called "Rock Spirit" recorded in "Vares Monster Illustrated Book".

Rock spirits are often mistaken for gnomes by people who don't know them. In fact, they belong to the "fairy" tribe and have earth blood at the same time.

The rock spirits are natural stonemasons and miners, and their attainments in stone carving and mining are even higher than those of deep gnomes and dwarves.

Looking back on the description and illustrations in the book, Joan was basically sure that the two monsters in front of him were "rock spirits".

If this guess is true, the two mysteries in the theft will be solved.

Rock spirits are an "earth subspecies" of goblins.

When it comes to "earth subspecies", it will naturally remind people of the special ability of "dwelling".

In fact, most rock spirits do not have the ability to escape, but there are always a few "geniuses" in any ethnic group, and the rock spirits are no exception.

A few rock spirits with particularly outstanding bloodlines will awaken the ability to "escape from the ground" when they become adults, and can freely shuttle through the depths of soil and rock formations, like fish swimming in water.

There were three thefts in the warehouse of the mining area. The last time he was caught, the thief escaped surrounded by security guards.

Joan had previously suspected that among the thieves was a spellcaster proficient in "teleportation", but now it seems that this may be a prediction.

The thief probably used the ability of "burrowing" to pass through layers of guard posts and sneak into the warehouse without anyone noticing. A crime pattern makes sense.

The rock spirits are born with the ability to cast spells, and most of the spells they are good at are related to rocks, such as "Stone Shaping" and "Stone Words".

The rock spirit also has a unique ability, which can unite multiple clansmen to cast spells together, releasing spells that a single rock spirit cannot cast.

For example, when four rock spirits are united, they can release a 4-ring "stone wall spell" once a day to create a solid stone wall that will last forever.

The eight rock spirits work together to cast spells, and they can use the 6-ring "petrification spell", or turn petrified creatures back into flesh and blood.

Garu's testimony revealed that there were nine thieves who sneaked into the No. 5 warehouse the night before yesterday. Assuming they were all rock spirits, then as long as eight of them work together, they can easily turn Garu into a stone statue!

There are only two rock spirits in the stone room where the coarse crystals are stored, but Joan feels that there should be more rock spirit residents in other stone rooms, and they are all suspected of participating in the theft of coarse crystals.

Thinking of this, Joan changed the viewing angle of the "remote viewing technique" and used mirror reflection to check the other stone chambers in the cave one by one. Sure enough, he found a lot of rock spirits. After counting them, there were forty in total.

What made Qiao An even more unexpected was that in this camp where rock spirits lived, there was actually a creature with a different style of painting mixed in!

The figure of this guy is similar to that of the rock spirit, and he is also a dwarf who is only more than three feet tall. He also wears a simple coat made of animal skin. The hair and beard are like tangled grass, almost covering the entire face.

Joan adjusted the angle of view and zoomed in to observe the dwarf's broad face. In the center of the face was a huge flat nose. His dark eyes were piercing, in sharp contrast to the white eyes of the rock spirits.

Joan also noticed that the skin texture of this dwarf resembles rough rocks, and the lower limbs have the characteristics of artiodactyls, as if they have a pair of donkey hooves!

What kind of monster is this guy?

Why live in the camp of the rock spirits?

What is the relationship between him and the rock essence?

Joan looked at the hairy dwarf in the mirror, and a series of questions popped up in his mind.

He was sure that this strange underground creature was not recorded in the "Wares Monster Illustrated Book". The unknown aroused his curiosity more and more, so he decided to ignore the group of rock spirits and continue to observe this mysterious dwarf.

The dwarf in the stone room didn't notice that someone was peeping at him, and happily ran around the room, moving the stone tables, chairs and benches back and forth until he adjusted them to a satisfactory position, and then stroking his beard. , dancing happily, like a naughty child.

Joan couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the dwarf enjoying himself.

Although this guy lived with the rock spirits and was suspected of being involved in the theft of coarse crystals, Joan didn't think he was an evil creature by nature.

In fact, the nature of rock spirits is not bad, but it is a pity that they are goblins after all, and they don't have much concept of right and wrong, and doing good and evil depends entirely on their mood.

Over the years, Qiao An has frequently dealt with all kinds of goblins, and has a deep understanding of the willful and reckless personality of the goblins.

At this time, the dwarf in the mirror jumped onto a stone bench, sat cross-legged, took out a comb carved out of rock from his coat pocket, and hummed leisurely while combing his hair.

The dwarf swung his long hair from behind to his shoulders, touched his arms with his right hand, took out a pair of iron scissors, and cut the long hair with a click.

It's just a haircut, what's the point of this?

Joan was looking at the mirror casually, impatiently hoping that the dwarf would finish cutting his hair quickly and go to other rock spirits to talk about coarse crystals, so as to provide himself with some more valuable testimony. I couldn't help being startled by the strange scene reflected, I quickly rubbed my eyes, and looked carefully again!

That's right, the dwarf's hair, which had just been cut off, unexpectedly glowed with a hint of magical aura, and quickly transformed from soft hair strands into strands of steel wires that shone with metallic luster!

Seeing this scene, Qiao An couldn't help but have a question in his mind: What kind of show operation is this? !
