Chapter 2199 Styx Ancient Dragon (Ⅲ)

"The first type of breath of the Styx Poisonous Dragon is called 'Cold Flame Breath'. Half of the damage it causes is of the cold type, and half is of the negative energy necrotic effect."

"The poisonous dragon can also spit out a terrible spiritual poison, which can reduce the intelligence attributes of those who come into contact with it. The specific intelligence damage caused is proportional to the age of the poisonous dragon."

"Taking the six ancient dragons as an example, the 'Cold Flame Dragon's Breath' they spit has an average damage of up to 26 energy levels, and the freezing attribute and necrotic attribute each account for half; as for the 'Zhijiang Dragon's Breath' they spit, it can poison Those who suffer from this trick will reduce their intelligence by 10 points, and if ordinary people fall into this trick, their intelligence will return to zero, and they will immediately become unconscious living dead."

"Mages and witches are spellcasters with intelligence, and a decrease in intelligence means that the ability to cast spells has declined in an all-round way. Be especially careful of the 'Dragon's Breath of Lowering Intelligence'."

Having said that, Ms. Helin frowned.

"Dragon Breath of Jiangzhi is a kind of supernatural toxin. Common anti-toxin drugs and spells cannot completely prevent this toxin. It is best not to be sprayed. Otherwise, we can only ask the green lady to perform the 'advanced restoration technique' to treat intellectual damage. "

Joan nodded slightly. I calculated in my heart that after taking the "Snake Dragon Female Egg", I gained a special constitution that resists natural toxins. Judging from Ms. Herring's warning, this is not enough to be immune to the "Wisdom-Reducing Dragon's Breath".

However, Joan also has a potion soaked in "Tears of God", which can resist most supernatural toxins in the world.

The food created by "Mythical Heroes Feast" or "Holy Pot" Arianel also has the effect of preventing supernatural toxins.

The combination of these methods should be able to play a perfect role in resisting the "Dragon's Breath of Lowering Wisdom".

"Dr. Vader, as I said just now, the Styx ancient dragon has sixth-level mythical power. These 'mythical powers' can not only replace spell slots, but also endow the six ancient dragons with a special mythical skill called 'mythical breath'."

"Mythical breath?" Joan became interested, and quickly asked Ms. Helin, "Is this mythical ability specially used to enhance dragon's breath?"

"That's right, according to our long-term observation, we found that the 'Mythical Breath' has two main functions."

"First of all, this mythical skill can make the Styx ancient dragon adjust the attack range of the dragon's breath according to the battlefield environment."

"For example, under normal circumstances, the two dragon breaths of the Styx ancient dragon spread out in a 60-foot cone shape, but with the 'mythical breath', the dragon breath can be concentrated into a 120-foot linear spray, or a 20-foot radius spherical burst , similar shaping function, and countless changes, it is hard to guard against!"

"Secondly, the dragon's breath enhanced by the 'Mythical Breath', no matter the 'Cold Flame Dragon' or the 'Jiangzhi Dragon', will not dissipate immediately after the breath, and will stay in place for a period of time, like a turbulent ball Steam, if someone touches the lingering dragon's breath, they will also receive corresponding damage."

"The residence time of the mythical dragon's breath is proportional to the mythical rank of the poisonous dragons. As far as the six ancient dragons are concerned, they are all sixth-order mythical creatures, so the dragon's breath they spit out can stay for up to 6 rounds, which is 36 seconds. , This will add a lot of obstacles to the battlefield, especially not conducive to the knights' charge tactics."

Hilde nodded repeatedly, deeply touched by what Ms. Herring pointed out.

The breath of the mythical poisonous dragon was like puddles of sticky phlegm on the ground. Not only was it disgusting, but it also created a circle of traps around itself, preventing the knights from finding a safe way to charge.

In the past few years, the "Ice Knights" have suffered a lot in the struggle against the poisonous dragons.

The "detention" special effect of "Mythical Spit" made Joan feel familiar.

Not long ago, the cold forest linnosaurus that was slaughtered in the yew forest near Xichong Town could also linger in mid-air for a period of time with the "electric dragon's breath" that it spewed out, and it caused electric shock damage to those who touched it, which was quite Yu comes with half a "myth breath", but it doesn't have the latter's "shaping" function.

"That's all I know about the Styx ancient dragon, Dr. Vader, if you have any questions, you can ask them, and I will try my best to answer them for you," Ms. Herring said gently.

Joan thought for a while and asked: "Aunt Helene, after hearing your description just now, and referring to the habitat of the Styx dragon, I think this kind of dragon is likely to belong to the 'aquatic subspecies' creature. From the general rule Generally speaking, the attack method with the special effect of 'dehydration' should be able to cause double damage to the Styx Dragon."

"Dr. Vader, the poisonous dragon is indeed an aquatic subspecies as you said, and it does hate dry environments, and has the weakness of being afraid of dehydration attacks. The problem is that we can't find a suitable method to target this weakness."

Ms. Herring spread her arms and smiled wryly.

"Joan, in our Styx Witch's spell list, there is only one spell that has the dehydration property, and that is the 4th-level 'withering spell', which can restrain the poisonous dragon in theory, but the poisonous dragon lives in the arctic sea all the year round and coexists with the 'cold flame'. It has the property of being immune to damage from negative energy, and 'Wither' is a necromancy spell that invokes negative energy, which is very embarrassing."

Gaina explained in more detail for her mother.

Joan agrees with Gaina's analysis, calling the negative energy "withering technique" is indeed unable to kill the Styx.

So besides the "withering spell", are there any other spells that have the property of dehydration and don't need to use negative energy, which don't belong to the Necromancy School?

In the spell list of the Styx Witch, there is no magic that meets the above conditions, but as a mage, Joan can learn far more spells than the Styx Witch, and there is indeed a spell that meets the conditions.

That's right, it was the 6-ring transformation magic that Joan discovered from the "Sea Hag Gathering" - "Extraction of Water Elements"!

The regular power of this 6th-level spell is 20 energy levels, which is doubled against creatures of the aquatic subtype, which is suitable for dealing with the Styx dragon.

Of course, with the vitality of the mythical ancient dragon, it is unrealistic to easily kill it with one or two shots of "extracting water elements". Qiao An needs to prepare more and more comprehensive dragon slaying plans, especially to guard against the dragon's madness after being injured. counterattack.

According to Joan's plan, first spend a few days to investigate the sea area where the poisonous dragons live, and after getting back the strengthened "Branch of Irminsur" from the green granny, try to find a lonely Styx ancient dragon to kill Not too late.

It's a pity that things backfired. On the morning of the second day when he came to Shuanglin Town, he had only eaten half of his breakfast, and the guard tower on the north side of the town rang the alarm bell, urging all the armed personnel in the town - including the Styx Witch and the Glacier Knight - Gather at the beach near the Ash Forest as soon as possible to resist the Styx Dragon and defend the "Ancient Tree of Life"!
