Chapter 1853 Dreadclaw Lair

Klein stroked his beard and expressed regret: "It's a pity that the giant fire beetle kept in a cage can only last for a week at most, and it can't be used to illuminate the luminous substance close to the body in the future! "

"It's understandable. Whether it's a giant fire beetle or a fire beetle, it must eat food rich in phosphorus—such as fluorescent moss—to synthesize luminous substances in its body. If it is locked in a cage and eats bread every day Scum, although you can live well, you can't continue to shine."

Out of consistent rigor, Joan finally added: "I have never raised a giant fire beetle. I just put forward a conjecture, which may not be true."

"Even if it's just a guess, at least it sounds reasonable!" The dwarf brother smiled and patted the shoulder of the young mage, "The behavior of fire beetles is similar to that of giant fire beetles. If you are interested in this kind of insect, you might as well catch more now." Keep a few of them in a bottle to see if they really need to eat fluorescent moss to keep glowing."

"That's what I thought!"

Joan caught two fire beetles and put them into empty bottles respectively. Many small holes were poked in the caps of the bottles so that the beetles could breathe normally.

The two beetles in the bottle are glowing, reflecting the small glass bottle extraordinarily beautifully.

Joan intends to label the two glass bottles, one is the experimental group and the other is the control group.

One beetle was fed bread crumbs and the other fluorescent moss, and over time, the fluorescence emitted by both groups of beetles changed.

If after a while the breadcrumb-eating beetles stopped glowing and the moss-eating beetles continued to glow, it would show that his guess was true.

After completing this set of control experiments, Joan also plans to do a set of "replenishment experiments". Simply put, it is to change the diet of the fire beetle. The food that was originally fed with bread crumbs is replaced with fluorescent moss to see if it will glow again.

As the double winner of the "Rising Star Award" and "Ebdon Award", with Joan's current position in the arcane academic circle, it stands to reason that there is no need to waste time researching the insignificant fire beetle, but he doesn't care whether the subject is important or not , whether it is hot or not, only care about whether it is interesting, interesting things are worth studying, even if it is just a small beetle.

After collecting a large pile of fluorescent moss, Joan followed his companions through the cave where the fire beetles lived, and there was a safe house near the intersection ahead.

Joan sent the peeping eyes closer to the safe house. After the investigation, after confirming that there was no one in the house, he beckoned his companions to open the door and enter the house.

"Huh? This number is very cute!" Elder Gumoduo pointed to the bronze notice on the wall and grinned.

Joan looked up, and the number of the safe house was engraved on the bronze plaque, which was "No. 1".

"This is almost the central area of ​​the maze. If there is no accident, it is not far from the exit of the maze. Why is safe house No. 1 located here?" Scholz shook his head inexplicably. Dr. Da's guess at the beginning is very reasonable, the serial number of the safe house is meaningless at all, it is completely randomly arranged!"

"Anyway, finding the safe house means that we haven't deviated from the track. After walking for a whole morning, everyone is exhausted. Why don't we take a rest in the safe house and eat something before setting off."

Klein's proposal was unanimously supported. Just as Joan put down her backpack, she was about to take off the "Endless Water Bag" and boil a pot of water to make tea. Suddenly, her heart moved, and she received a telepathy from Cosette through the "Myth Link".

"Dr. Vader, is it convenient for me to interrupt you?"

Joan could hear that Miss Moling was anxious, and asked quickly, "What happened to you?"

"We are now inside a large dome. The surrounding rock walls are full of potholes. There are strange noises coming from the holes, like rocks rubbing against each other."

"There are indications that this is the lair where the claw monsters gather. If we want to move forward, we must pass through this very dangerous area."

"There are at least thirty or forty Dreadclaws living in the lair. Lord Jules is worried about being surrounded by a large group of Dreadclaws, so he hasn't made up his mind whether to take the risk and move on."

"Dr. Vader, do you think it would be safer for us to go the other way?"

Joan thought for a while in silence before answering Cosette's question.

"I think you should try to pass through the claw monster's lair and retreat in fear of difficulties. At first glance, it seems a sensible choice, but from the perspective of the maze designer, it is impossible to design a challenge that can be easily avoided by the participating teams , otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”

"If you exit the cave where a large group of direclaws are entrenched and take another path, you will likely encounter challenges that are as dangerous—or even more dangerous—as the lair of direclaws. .”

"Okay, Dr. Vader, I will pass on your opinion to my companions, and I believe everyone will accept your suggestion." Cosette replied solemnly.

"It doesn't matter whether you accept my suggestion or not. The problem is that the Dreadclaws are not easy to mess with, not to mention the large number. How are you going to deal with these ferocious monsters?"

"This...Dr. Vader, can you come up with a safe countermeasure for us?" Miss Moling asked a little embarrassedly, "For example, like yesterday, bless me, Patty, and Sister Evelyn 'Sanctuary technique', in this way, Master Jules and Mr. Cato can deal with the Dreadclaw without any worries."

"Yes, you can, but the defensive effect of the 'Sanctuary Technique' is closely related to the enemy's willpower, there is a certain degree of randomness, and it will limit your own attacks. The error tolerance rate is too low, and it is okay to deal with a short battle. , the longer the battle is dragged on, the higher the probability of accidents will be.”

"If there are as many Dreadclaws as you said, the threat to you is not comparable to that of the gargoyles yesterday. This tactic may not be suitable for your current situation."

"Uh... that's right."

A trace of confusion appeared in Cosette's thoughts, and she didn't fully understand Joan's intentions.

Joan sighed. It can't be blamed for Cosette's confusion. After all, she has never learned the "sanctuary spell". Cosette and the others will be in danger if they resist the mental suppression of the "Sanctuary Technique".

"Cosette, let's not talk about that for now. In short, I will switch the perspective to you first, observe the lair of the Dreadclaw, and then consider what tactics to adopt."

"Okay, Dr. Vader, please!" Cosette breathed a sigh of relief.

The experience of contacting Qiao An in the past made her unconsciously establish a belief that as long as this young genius mage is willing to help, there will be no problem in the world that he cannot solve!
