Chapter 1929 It's Our Turn

The mercenary fell into the tree hole, and the screams echoed in the cavity of the octopus tree, doubly shrill and piercing, then gradually became weaker, and finally stopped abruptly.

Johnson didn't dare to guess what kind of torture that hapless mercenary suffered in the tree hole. Witnessing the death or injury of his subordinates, his self-confidence has been crushed by the cruel reality. Run away from that terrifying octopus tree as soon as possible, the farther the better!

Johnson frantically made spellcasting gestures, chanted incantations, and tried to open the "Any Door". Before the process of casting the spell was completed, his concentration was interrupted by a thunderbolt falling from the sky, and he fell to the ground covered in scorched black.

Supported by the desire to escape, Johnson endured the severe pain caused by the lightning strike and struggled to crawl deep into the grass.

The octopus shook its branches cruelly, and once again activated the "Summon Lightning Technique", a bolt of lightning crashed down, hitting Johnson's back.

The mage's body trembled violently, and a large area of ​​scorched black burn marks was exposed on his bare back. He moaned in despair, unable to struggle anymore.

The octopus crawled over unhurriedly, stretched out its branches, rolled him up, and threw him whole into the tree hole. Then, a large amount of acid was secreted in its abdomen, which corroded Johnson into pus and blood within two minutes and was completely absorbed.

After filling the "stomach", the octopus supplemented the much-needed nutrients. The damaged branches in the battle sprouted new greens, and the broken branches continued, even growing stronger and stronger than before the battle broke out.

Joan switched the viewing angle from the glass magic eye back to his own body, looked up at Hailar, Audrey, and Holden who were still watching the "remote viewing mirror", and truthfully told the current situation.

"The group of real people Fei has been killed by the octopus tree, now it's our turn."

"Joan, of course I understand your intentions, but what you said sounds really unlucky, as if we are going to follow in the footsteps of Johnson's party." Holden complained bitterly.

"Terrible! Terrible!"

Dolly saw in the mirror the scene where the octopus swallowed mage Johnson alive, and was so frightened that she raised her wings to cover her eyes.

"Judging from what happened to Johnson and the others, I have to admit that the octopus is more difficult to deal with than I expected, and it will be a hard battle waiting for us."

Audrey looked serious.

Hailaer twisted the ends of her shoulder-hanging hair around her fingertips, and looked at Joan hesitantly: "What do you think our chances of winning are, and will there be any casualties?"

Joan thought for a while, and answered frankly: "I can't guarantee whether the octopus has hidden tricks, but as long as we are fully prepared, the chances of winning are still very high. Even if we can't win, at least it won't be a problem to retreat completely , generally speaking, the probability that you will not die is quite high."

"You... are you talking about wolf and tiger!"

Hailar didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It can't be helped. Our master mage is very straightforward, and he will say what he has to say." Audrey laughed and joked.

Joan turned to look at Her Royal Highness: "The probability of your not dying is greater than that of Hailar."

"Oh, why?" Audrey guessed with great interest, "Because my defense is more complete, and I can cast spells to heal myself?"

Joan nodded first, and then added: "Another factor is that you are taller and fatter than Hailar, in case both of you are swallowed by the octopus tree and Hailar is digested, you can last a minute longer , and the chances of being rescued are greater.”

Audrey took a deep breath, tried her best to restrain her mental explosion, and raised her paw with a smile like a beckoning cat.

"Obey, be conscious, stick your head out!"

Qiao An didn't realize it, and tried to shrink his head, but it didn't help. Her Royal Highness jumped up and slapped him firmly on the forehead, and suddenly felt staring.

After the murder, Her Royal Highness returned to her dignified posture: "Speaking seriously, before we challenge the Octopus Tree, what preparations do we need to make besides the conventional protective spells?"

Qiao An rubbed his forehead, recalled the intelligence he had collected while watching the battle, and began to formulate a battle plan.

"Octopus only used one lethal spell in the battle just now, which is the 'Summon Thunder'. If I didn't miss it, it can even instantly cast this 3-ring natural magic at will, so we must bless the 'defense spell' in advance." Electric Barrier'."

"The Octopus Tree can also cast the 'Hidden Mist', creating a large area of ​​dense fog centered on itself to block the enemy's sight, and because it has the blindsight ability, it will not be disturbed by the dense fog, which means We need to bless the 'Fog Vision' in advance to avoid restricted vision during battle."

"In addition, everyone has to check their own equipment. Put all wooden products into the storage bag, otherwise it will be a big loss if it is destroyed by the octopus." Joan recalled that the Feizhen mercenary bent Spears and shotguns are all bloody lessons learned from the past.

Audrey's sword, shield, and breastplate are all made of metal, so there's nothing to worry about, and Hyrule doesn't have any wooden equipment that must be used, but Holden's face is ugly.

His weapons are "humorous sword" and "funny gun". Attacking an octopus in close quarters is tantamount to suicide. The short sword is obviously useless, and the pistol has a wooden handle. If it can't be used, he has nothing to do Weapons up.

"Joan, my pistol is a magic weapon, could it be affected by the spell of the octopus?"

"Yes!" Joan told the truth, dispelling Mr. Poet's luck in time, "The 2nd level 'bending wood' has a certain chance of distorting wooden magic items, and the 6th level nature magic 'repelling wood' is even more powerful. Repels all wooden objects within the spell's range, magic or not."

Holden had no choice but to stuff the pistol into the storage bag, and sighed depressedly: "Then what else can I do on the battlefield besides singing poems and singing to cheer everyone up, and occasionally casting a less powerful spell?"

"This is for you." Joan took out the "Fireball Wand" from the storage bag and handed it to Holden. "Octopus has a weakness of fearing fire. You can use this wand to throw fireballs at it."

Holden knew that Joann's spells were too many to use up, and he didn't need to use the wand to output firepower, so he stopped being polite to him, and took the "fireball wand" with a smile.

"Hylar, Audrey, you should also make full use of the Octopus' weakness and try to deal with it with fire-type skills."

Hyrule nodded first, and then looked at Audrey: "My professional ability can enchant the 'blazing' special effect on the wave blade giant sword. Do you have a spare fire attribute weapon?"

"No, and I don't need it." Audrey patted the scabbard, with a confident smile on her lips, "When I was promoted to a level 9 paladin, I awakened a 3rd ring called 'Elemental Weapon' Divine spell, with this spell, I can temporarily add special effects of 'acid', 'freezing', 'electric shock', 'thunder' or 'flame' to the weapon, which is suitable for dealing with octopus trees!"
