Chapter 2264 Scorpion-Tailed Demon Dog

"Ah... so much more than agree? I really love your wonderful way of advocating 'peace'!" Queen Alpha said through gritted teeth, "But for the sake of fairness, Brother Joan, I hope you can respect us too. Gnolls' traditional way of seeking peace."

"What kind of traditional practice, let's talk about it."

"You represent all the residents of Delin Town, and I represent the gnolls of Brass Mountain, and hold a contest. If you can defeat me in this fair duel, I will do what you say, it's that simple!"

Joan thought about it for a while, then raised her head to meet Queen Alpha's provocative eyes.

"No problem, just do as you say."

"Okay! I just like cheerful people like you!"

Queen Alpha leaned on the window sill and jumped down from the window on the second floor. With her feet on the ground, she turned around and whistled at the castle gate.

The roar of the beast came from the castle hall, as if responding to Alpha's call, which aroused Joan's curiosity.

Just under his gaze, a cloud of black smoke drifted out from the gate of the castle, and the scorching air that accompanied the thick smoke could be felt far away.

Immediately afterwards, a monster as huge as an elephant, breathing black smoke from its mouth and nose came out of the castle.

This monster looks like a gigantic spotted hyena, baring its teeth and looking wild. And when it walked out of the gate of the castle, Joan immediately noticed that its tail had a strange structure, similar to a scorpion tail, with a sharp hook at the end, which appeared a strange blue color, which was obviously poisonous.

The image of this monster aroused Qiao An's association. I remember seeing it in the ancient documents collected in the library of Cloud City City. If nothing else, it should be one of the many monsters created by "God of Gnolls" Yeenoghu on a whim. one.

Out of curiosity, Joan activated "Advanced Internal Vision" to detect the monster summoned by Queen Alpha.

...

Reconnaissance target: female manticore (super-large magical beast, Tanari species)

Life Level: 13

Attributes: Strength 28, Dexterity 21, Constitution 20, Intelligence 7, Wisdom 13, Charisma 15

Special Abilities: Darkvision, telepathy, cold resistance 3 levels, damage reduction 3 levels/magic cold iron, immunity to fire/electric shock/poison/fear/enchantment, spell resistance, other (unspecified)

...

Sure enough, as expected, this monster does have demon blood, most likely born in the bottomless abyss.

The scorpion-tailed devil dog seemed to sense that Joan was casting a spell to detect him, so he stared at him with scarlet eyes and barked his teeth.

"Spotted Mary, don't be rude to our honored guest!"

Alpha patted the neck of the scorpion-tailed demon dog, calmed down the monster, turned around and said to Joan:

"This manticore is called 'Spotted Mary', and it is my animal companion. As a ranger, the animal companion is like a part of my body, so you don't object to me bringing Spotted Mary to compete with you, right? "

Joan looked up and down the scorpion-tailed demon dog. This guy is much more powerful than any blood-smelling beast. It is impossible for ordinary level 14 rangers to subdue such a powerful magic beast as an animal companion. However, considering that Alpha is the chosen one of the "God of Gnolls", It is not impossible to subdue the manticore created by Yeenogu.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Joan patted the mythical giant insect night shadow beside him, imitating Alpha's tone, and introduced: "This is my magic pet 'God Shadow', an ordinary seventh-order mythical giant insect night shadow, Ms. Alpha, I have no objection to you bringing a scorpion-tailed demon dog to a duel, and you won't object to me, a mage, bringing my own familiar to fight side by side, right?"

"An ordinary 7th-order mythical giant night shadow", with twenty-four huge single eyes shining innocently on the face, shaking tentacles to be cute, as if he is really a petite and cute magic pet that is harmless to humans and animals.

"you……"

Queen Alpha's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

Joan observed the change in her face and couldn't help being disappointed.

"Ms. Alpha, you don't think I'm serious, do you?"

No mage can accept a quasi-legendary mythical undead creature like "God's Shadow" as a "magic pet". Joan thinks this should be common sense. As for what he said just now, it was just a joke on the spur of the moment. Unfortunately, the results are not as good as expected, which makes him question his sense of humor.

"Ms. Alpha, isn't that joke I just made funny?"

"Uh... funny, very funny! Hahaha..."

Alpha forced a few dry laughs, and wiped off his cold sweat by the way.

She was watching the battle on the second floor of the castle before, and she was deeply impressed by the black giant worm beside Joan. If Mr. Mage insisted that the monster was his familiar and brought it to a duel with him, then there would be no need to fight. Not a single chance of winning.

"Master, do you really not need me to help you deal with that coquettish female wolf man and that noisy puppy?"

Shen Ying asked uncomfortably.

Joan shook her head slightly, signaling her to rest assured.

"I can handle it alone. Just help me keep an eye on the group of jackals around the square. Don't let them interfere with my duel with Queen Alpha."

"Okay, be careful."

Shen Ying obediently retreated to the sidelines, turned her head to monitor the surrounding gnolls, her twenty-four eyes were fiercely lit, and the gnolls backed away in fright, not daring to look at her.

Joan saw that Queen Alpha had begun to bless spells to enhance combat power, so she took out a needle from the interlayer of her belt and injected the "awakening potion" prepared with Gaina's blood, and combined with the "transfiguration of the dragon", she became a "Winter Witch". "form.

It was not difficult for Joan to defeat Alpha and Scorpion.

In order to convince the Gnoll Queen to lose, and to test the newly invented tactics in actual combat, she decided to directly use the "ultimate move".

Arousing seven "mythical powers" in one breath, combined with the seventh-level path ability "mythic distraction", Joan created seven spiritual bodies around his body, all of which were in the form of Gaina - the body plus the spiritual body, eight Together, the Winter Witches form a "gathering"!

"Ms. Alpha, our duel can begin."

Joan said calmly.

Fifty paces away, Queen Gnoll's eyes flickered, she couldn't hide her doubts.

She didn't understand why Joan suddenly turned into a beautiful girl with dark complexion and silver hair like snow, and surrounded by seven identical figures.

She couldn't identify what kind of magic it was, but Joan's seven avatars obviously didn't have a physical body. They were looming, and they were probably illusions like "mirror imagery", which were nothing more than a blindfold to interfere with the attack.

With this in mind, Alpha decided to be cautious. Don't rush to get close to Joan. He took out an enchanted javelin from the storage bag, blessed it with the 3-ring natural magic "summon rain of arrows", and then threw the javelin vigorously!
