Chapter 1833: Dormant Pseudo-Monster (Ⅰ)

"Scholz, come with me!"

Elder Gu raised his cane blessed with the "Daylight Art", held his head high, and rushed into the cave with strides. Wherever he passed, the darkness receded within sixty feet around him.

Joan stepped on the dark mantle monster that was still struggling in the "spiritual net", freed his hand to take out the needle tube and reagent bottle, pierced the belly of the dark mantle monster with one needle, drew a tube full of blood, introduced the reagent bottle, and sealed it store it up.

The dark mantle monster that had just had its blood pumped looked weak and unable to struggle anymore. Joan injected it with a sleeping pill, chanted a spell to summon the "green ice secret storage box", and stuffed the unconscious dark mantle monster into it. Save it for dissection at your leisure.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the front, and immediately after, Robin Hood ran back with a look of hell on his face.

Joan tried to stop him and ask what happened, but in a hurry, he forgot that this little man was very strong. Instead of stopping Robin Hood, he was knocked down to the ground, his butt hurting.

Joan stood up while leaning against the wall, rubbing his buttocks with his left hand, his face full of bewilderment. At this time, there were chaotic footsteps ahead, and Gumoduo, Scholz, and Klein also retreated in a panic.

Joan quickly went up to ask, "What happened?"

The old boggard man rubbed his chin, and replied with some embarrassment: "It's all my fault. I saw a black cloak hanging on a stalagmite, and thought it was left by other participating teams passing by, so I moved over curiously and wanted to take it off. Check out the cloak..."

Hearing what he said, Joan had a premonition that something was going to go wrong, and hurriedly asked: "It turned out to be a trap?"

Elder Gu nodded, and said guiltily: "Thanks to Robin Hood for pushing me in time, I escaped the attack of the monster disguised as a cloak, but he himself was attacked, and he was so frightened by the strange cry of the monster that he lost his mind and hugged his head." flee."

"Scholz and I realized that Elder Gu's situation was not good, so we rushed to attack that monster." Klein continued Gumoduo's words, "However, the other party was hit with a hammer and shot, but there was no serious problem. , spread its bat-like wings and swooped towards us, while making a terrifying low cry."

"Fortunately, both Scholz and I wear the 'Topaz Amulet' made by Joan's brother next to our bodies, so as to resist the mental attack accompanied by the whispering, so that we won't be panicked like Robin Hood."

"However, considering that there may be more such mysterious monsters lurking in the stalagmite bushes, for the sake of safety, we did not dare to go deep alone. After avoiding the monster's pounce, we hurriedly withdrew back."

Joan listened silently to his companions about the thrilling encounter just now, and found that they were a little scared. Robin Hood was so frightened that he hugged his head and curled up in the corner. He still hadn't calmed down until now, guessing that the cry of the monster contained some kind of "fear" Supernatural effect, he cast the 2nd level spell "Tranquillity", and a golden halo spread around his body, enveloping all his companions.

Under the appeasement of the calming halo, everyone's emotions quickly calmed down.

"What kind of monster did we meet just now, a large dark mantle monster?" Gumoduo guessed with lingering fear.

Robin Hood shook his head out of fear, and said to Gumodo with a serious face: "Uncle Toad, the monster we just saw in the depths of the cave is not a 'big dark mantle monster', but more dangerous than the dark mantle monster." Ten times as many 'dormant pseudo-monsters'!"

The name "Dormitory Pseudo-monster" had some impression on Joan. According to the "Wares Monster Illustrated Handbook", the dormant pseudomonster is a strange monster that originated in the underground world. When stretching its body, it can fly like a bat, and when its body is rolled up into a bundle, it looks like a hanging on the wall. A gray cloak.

Both the dormant pseudo-monster and the dark mantle monster have the characteristics of "mimicry", especially in the labyrinth where the light is dim and the rocks are crowded. The "mimicry" of the two does have similarities. It turned out that Robin Hood, an aborigine familiar with the ecology of the Underdark, would not be mistaken. If he hadn't pushed the croaking away in time, the old swamp man would have been in danger.

The records about the dormant pseudo-monster in the literature are not comprehensive. They only briefly mention that this strange monster has high intelligence, cruel nature, and two supernatural abilities.

Joan has always had a strong curiosity about strange things, and when he learned that there are "hibernating false monsters" hidden in the stalagmite forest deep in the cave, he couldn't help but feel a little moved and wanted to catch them. One is used as a research sample, and it is really inconvenient to catch it alive. After killing it, it is not bad to draw blood for dissection and make a specimen.

Thinking of this, Joan projected his perspective on a glass magic eye that was staying in the area where Gumoduo and the others had just been attacked, and he saw five huge triangular shadows hovering low above the forest of stalagmites.

Joan remote-controlled the glass magic eye to observe the nearest dormant pseudo-monster. This guy spread out a pair of fin-shaped fleshy wings up to eight feet wide and glides in the dark cave, like a manta ray diving in the sea. Zhang has a funny and terrifying face like a clown, and the long tail with poisonous thorns swings with the airflow behind him, making a sharp sound of breaking the wind.

...

Investigation target: dormant false monster (large strange monster)

Attributes: Strength 21, Dexterity 16, Constitution 17, Intelligence 14, Wisdom 15, Charisma 15

Special Ability: Undiscovered

...

The dormant pseudo-monster was very vigilant, aware that someone was secretly peeping at him with the "advanced internal vision", suddenly turned around and floated towards the location of the glass magic eye, flicked its tail, smashed the glass magic eye to pieces!

The sound of glass shattering echoed in his ears, and Joan felt his eyes go dark, and he instinctively closed his eyes and backed away, staggering and almost falling.

Gumoduo helped him in time, and asked with concern: "Little mage, are you alright?"

Joan rubbed his eyes, shook his head and said: "I'm fine, there are at least five dormant pseudo-monsters lurking in the depths of the cave, and they will soon surround them. Let's quickly retreat to the entrance of the cave. The space there is narrow, which is not conducive to the dormant pseudo-monsters gliding. It is convenient for us to guard."

Hearing what he said, everyone became nervous and hurried back the same way.

As soon as he retreated to the entrance of the cave, there was a sharp whistling sound behind him. Looking back, five flat shadows were flying towards him at a very high speed.

"Súré!"

Joan waved his hand and summoned a vertically surging atmospheric barrier, blocking the hole behind him.

The dormant pseudo-monster that was following it was blocked by the high-speed airflow, and its flying speed dropped sharply. It circled with difficulty under the gust of wind, and let out an angry moan.

While performing the "Advanced Wind Wall Technique", Qiao An still uses the "Dividing Mystery Technique" to maintain a calming aura to ensure that he and his companions are not affected by the fearful sound waves emitted by the dormant pseudo-monster, and are ready to face the battle.
