Chapter 1836 Matryoshka Investigation Method
The moment the plankton mushroom explodes, it can cause an average of 3 energy levels of splash damage to creatures within ten feet, which is enough to pose a fatal threat to creatures that lack effective protection, but it is really only a mere threat to crystal pythons with rough skin and thick flesh. Just a "fart".
The armor made of raw magic crystals perfectly blocked the spore invasion, and the crystal python waded through the "minefields" laid by plankton mushrooms unscathed.
Leaving the planktonic mushroom habitat, Belling told his companions not to go out in a hurry, let the crystal python crawl to a deep water area in the cave to wash off the spores attached to its body.
Undercurrents surged in the pool, and two ferocious blind crocodiles lurked at the bottom of the water, and even brought them to the door as prey. They pinched the crystal python from both sides, but the two brothers were blown apart by a "mind blast" from the crystal python in the next instant. Eyes rolled, twitched and sank to the bottom of the pool...
After taking a cold shower, the crystal python crawled out of the pool carrying Belling, Medea, Gray Bird and the Dark Sound Deaf Monster, and released them only when they reached a safe area.
The team continued to explore the depths of the underground palace, and within half an hour after walking out, a peeping eye of Medea came back to report, and in front of them was an area full of stalagmites and stalactites.
"Stop for a moment, the terrain ahead is very complicated, I need to spend more time on reconnaissance." Medea said to Gray Bird and Belling.
Just at this time, Joan sent a greeting to Ms. Snake Hair through the "Myth Link": "Medea, is your side going well?"
"It's been going well so far, but the stalagmite jungle in front of me seems a little weird. I'm still not sure if it's an illusion..."
"Tell me specifically, what doubts have you found?" Joan asked with concern.
"I haven't found any doubts yet, but think about it differently. If I were Chief Gouno and I saw such an area full of stalagmites when I was building a maze, I must make full use of the local complex terrain to create obstacles for the contestants. If you are uneasy Isn't it a waste of such a good terrain to set traps and ambush monsters?"
Medea's rhetorical question left Joan speechless.
Ms. Gorgon's suspicion has no real basis, but Joan must admit that although Medea's way of thinking of "putting oneself in front of others" is too subjective, subjective is not necessarily wrong.
"Medea, let's start from the worst possibility, assuming that there is a monster in the stalagmite forest, and the peeping magic eye you sent out to investigate did not find anything unusual, which means that the monster is well hidden, such as being good at 'invisibility' , or like the dark mantle monsters and dormant pseudo-monsters that we encountered not long ago, they have the specialty of 'mimesis' and blend with the surrounding environment, how can you find out these monsters lurking in the dark?"
"After I was promoted to a 12th-level warlock, I learned the 6th level 'true seeing'. With this spell, I can see through all disguises within 120 feet. If there are traps or monsters ahead, I will never escape my eyes." Medea Say it with confidence.
"The problem is that the field of vision of 'True Seeing' is only 120 feet, and in the worst case, the lurker can have a long-range attack ability and attack you from 120 feet away. Considering this possibility, you dare to approach ?"
"Wow! You little brat..." Medea's twitching little white snake showed her "tangled" mentality in the most intuitive way, "Don't just argue with me, Joan, use your A smart head can help me think of a way!"
"There is a way. You can recall a glass magic eye now, and then I will use you as the starting point of the spell through the 'myth link' to strengthen the detection function of the magic eye."
Not many people know that Joan has mythical powers, and Medea is one of them.
"What spell do you plan to bless our magic eye?" Medea asked curiously.
"Mythological link." Joan replied indifferently.
"What?" Medea was a little confused, "You want to use me as a springboard through the 'Myth Link' to bless the 'Myth Link' on the glass magic eye in front of me?"
"That's right, the 'Myth Link' can also be used to cast the 'Myth Link' remotely, you didn't expect that?" Qiao An was proud, "So it's time for my favorite 'Matryoshka' link."
"My God! Whenever you mention 'matryoshka', I get a headache and feel like my brain is about to boil... What should I do next?" Medea asked vigorously.
"Through the above operations, Medea, you will establish a 'mythical link' with the glass magic eye in front of you, and you can share vision remotely without recalling it. In addition, the glass magic eye will also share your' True Seeing'."
"In this way, as long as you send the glass magic eye close to the stalagmite to investigate, you can see the environment within 120 feet of it clearly, and you don't have to go into danger yourself to know whether there are traps or lurking in the dark monster."
"Finally, because the 'myth link' is transitive, I can also share your light through the glass magic eye and share the 'true seeing' to see clearly the wind and grass in the stalagmites. This is called the 'matryoshka detection method', you how do you feel?"
"Okay! The young man has done a good job, so I will do as you say!"
In less than two minutes, Qiao An completed the "matryoshka" operation.
Medea remotely controlled the glass magic eye blessed with "myth link" to fly in the stalagmite forest, and at the same time used "true seeing" to observe the movement within 120 feet around the glass magic eye, and soon let out a "huh" in surprise!
"It turns out that my intuition is correct, and there is something weird!"
Joan immediately switched his viewing angle to the glass magic eye, and found that there were many stalagmites standing around. The stalagmite that aroused Medea's alertness was tapered at the bottom, about 10 feet high, and stood there quietly. It doesn't look special, but using "true seeing" to compare this stalagmite with the stalagmites around it, it is not difficult to find that the former is shrouded in a faint halo, which is the manifestation of the external radiation of life energy, and the real cold Rocks don't show signs of life.
Within the field of view of the peeping magic eye, there are at least three cone-shaped stalagmites that also radiate life energy. It is conceivable that they are all predators waiting for their prey to come to their door.

Joan used "advanced internal vision" to detect the monsters disguised as stalagmites. At the same time, Medea issued a warning to the gray bird, Bellin and the dark tone monster beside him.
"Be careful, everyone, there is a 'Rope Demon' hidden in the stalagmite forest, and there is more than one!"
"Rope monster?" Gray Bird frowned, "I've only heard of this name, but I've never seen a real rope monster, and I don't know how powerful this monster is. How do I deal with them next?"
