Chapter 1831 Mimicry

The Crabman Monk Katuo strode forward, arousing a burst of vigor, and unleashed the monk's unique skill "Blowing Wind Combo", with fists and pincers that were as firm as steel, blasting out four consecutive strikes in an instant.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The sound of flesh and bones being broken echoed in the underground palace, and before the four ferocious bats had a chance to land, they were knocked into the air by Cato and hit the opposite stone wall, leaving their bodies bloody and bloody.

Two fierce bats with scorched fur flew out of the bat cave, but they had no intention of attacking outsiders, screaming and trying to escape.

Joan confirmed that there was no danger from the Huayuan Township team, so she said to Cosette, "I won't bother you, I'll go to the Temple of Silence to have a look."

"Okay, Dr. Vader, send my regards to Sister Medea and Sister Gray Bird."

Feeling that Joan's will was separated from her body, Cosette stopped "paddling" and plucked the magic harp, singing "Ecstasy".

The melodious sound of the piano reverberates in the dark underground palace, and the magic net randomly distributed in the surrounding space is also plucked by the girl's moving voice like strings, arousing the magical fluctuations that charm the soul.

The fragile will defense of the two ferocious bats was breached by "Ecstasy" in a blink of an eye. They gave up running and flew towards the moth poet, obsessed with admiring her performance until they were pinched one by one by Cato's huge pincers. Smashed skulls.

...

For the Huayuan Township team, Medea also uses the 5-ring "Peeping Eye" to explore the way like Joan did, but she does not have a "myth link". Only when the glass magic eye returns to her hand can she read the detected information.

"Medea, are you all right?"

Joan switched the viewing angle to the Gorgon, and looked around. All he could see were smooth stone walls and deep tunnels. The sound of ticking water in the distance made people feel uneasy.

"We just came out of safe house No. 9 an hour ago, and we haven't encountered any traps or monster attacks yet." Medea replied with a smile, looking very relaxed.

Joan heard the rustling sound coming from the front of the tunnel, overpowering the sound of dripping water, and asked curiously, "What's going on in front?"

"Oh, our dwarf mage, very gentlemanly invited me, Gray Bird, and Bell to get into the belly of his crystal python servant, and said it would be safer."

Medea shrugged disapprovingly.

"The crystal python's ore armor can indeed provide a barrier, but it's inconvenient to observe the outside world when it gets into the crystal python's belly. If the crystal python falls into a trap, we won't be able to get out in time, and we may even be taken away!"

"Considering the risk of destroying the group, I declined Bellin's kindness. He got into the belly of the crystal python by himself and helped us find the way in front. The movement you heard just now was the belly of the crystal python rubbing against the uneven rocks on the ground. making noise."

"Won't this noise attract monsters lurking in the dark?"

Joan asked worriedly.

"It is indeed possible." Medea put away her smile, "It's a pity that Bellin and I don't know the 'Silence Technique', so we can't help the crystal python eliminate the movement it makes when it crawls."

"It's a small matter, I'll help you get it done."

Joan immediately used Medea as the starting point, blessed the glass bead she was playing with with 2 rings of "Silence", and then sent out telepathy.

"Medea, remember the incantation I said next. After silent recitation, you can suppress the 'Silence Barrier' blessed on the glass bead. You put the enchanted glass bead on the tail of the crystal python, and then recite the incantation again to restart. 'Boundary of Silence'."

"One thing you need to pay special attention to is that the place where the glass beads are inlaid should be kept at least 20 feet away from the head of the crystal python where Belling is, otherwise he will also be affected by the 'Silence Barrier' and it will be embarrassing if he cannot cast spells .”

"No problem." Ms. Snake Hair recited the mantra silently, and the light of the small glass bead in her palm shrank, "Joan, are your team and Huayuan Township all doing well?"

"Cosette and the others just encountered a group of ferocious bats, and they solved them without much effort. Our team is lucky. So far, we haven't even encountered a mouse. To be honest, it's a bit boring..."

Medea laughed: "Come and chat with me if you're bored, our side is also boring..."

Just as Joan was about to reply, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart. It seemed that a certain glass magic eye sent out to investigate had discovered signs of danger.

"Medea! I have to go back quickly, I'm afraid I'm in danger!"

"Ha! Look at your 'crow's mouth', what do you say!" Medea habitually wanted to pinch Joan's cheek, but when she raised her hand, she realized that he was not in front of her, so she touched her face Squeezed, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, go back quickly!"

"Okay, you guys should be more careful."

Joan hurriedly withdrew from Medea's body, his consciousness first returned to his own body, and then shifted his observation perspective to No. 18 glass magic eye that had just sounded the alarm.

Through the magic eye, Joan found a strangely empty cave two hundred yards ahead of the tunnel, and the crisis lurks in the dark cave.

Joan manipulated the glass magic eye to move forward slowly, and his vision gradually became clearer.

This natural cave, cleverly incorporated into the competition maze by Chief Gouno, is cold and damp, with stalagmites raised up and down on the ground, and stalactites like ice edges hanging down from the dome.

The glass magic eye just noticed a strange movement in the dense stalactite bushes, but it was a pity that it was fleeting, and now there is no trace to follow.

Joan remotely controlled the glass magic eye to move towards the dome of the cave, carefully observing every stalactite that came into view.

His patience was not in vain. With the help of the "Secondary True Sight" blessed in advance, he discovered that some "stalactites" were actually living creatures in disguise.

These mysterious creatures are almost indistinguishable from real stalactites in terms of shape, color, and texture. The fake camouflage reminds Joan of the "mimicry" phenomenon that some insects evolved to adapt to the environment.

In the underdark region where the competition for survival is extremely cruel, the phenomenon of creatures using "mimicry" ability to hunt or avoid natural enemies is even more common than in the surface world.

Joan took out the "remote viewing mirror", projected the doubts he found onto the mirror and saved them, and then reminded his teammates to stop advancing through the "messaging technique".

Klein, Scholz, and Gumoduo stopped after hearing the news, while Robin Hood ran two quick steps, dragging Joan, who was sitting on the floating disk, to join his teammates.

"Brother Joan, what happened?" Klein asked.

Joan pointed to the end of the tunnel, and said in a deep voice, "Just less than a hundred yards ahead, the tunnel is connected to the underground cave. I just passed through the peeping magic eye and found suspicious creatures in the cave."

"Dr. Vader, what kind of monster did you find?" Scholz held the shotgun tightly and asked vigilantly.
