Chapter 2299 Rat Swarm
"Aside from the mother of the plague, are there any other primitive believers in the city?" Xiao Miao continued to interrogate.
Neo Gambino hesitated for a moment, perhaps remembering Peter and Sean's refusal to help him defeat the enemy just now, and the mouse eyes showed a look of resentment.
"Of course there are! As far as I know, there are at least three! They are all half-worm, half-human monsters, two men, one is an assassin with spider characteristics, and the other is a mantis monk. The most powerful is the A woman who turns into a human, always surrounded by swarms of wasps!"
Xiao Miao scratched her head, then turned around and asked Edward, Thomas, and Allen: "Have you ever seen or heard of these three worm-like people?"
The three looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"I recognize those three worms." Joan came over and asked Neo Gambino, "Would you believe me if I said that Jenny, Sean and Peter are my old friends?"
"I believe, Dr. Vader, I dare not believe anything you say." The old squirrel man said with a bitter expression, "Just ten minutes ago, Peter and Sean were still in my office, and they told me the best Don't provoke you, I regret not following their advice."
"Mr. Gambino, a wise person has done something he regrets and must work hard to make amends. Now there is an opportunity to make amends in front of you - lead us to visit my three old friends." Joan Leng Looking at the squirrel man coldly, he said unhurriedly, "Mr. Gambino, this is your last chance. I don't think you will refuse it?"
Neo Gambino was well aware of the consequences of refusing to lead the way, and nodded hastily.
Joan turned around and said to Xiao Miao: "You keep an eye on him, I'll go to Rebecca and Kandy to see, first rescue A Zhi and Mr. Benny, and then we all go to the 'Mother of the Plague' and that The three worms, I am afraid there is still a tough battle to fight."
Xiao Miao nodded, and just about to speak, suddenly wrinkled her nose, showing surprise.
"Sister Meow, what's the matter?" Joan asked.
"I vaguely smell a mouse smell, very strong, there are hundreds of them at least." Xiao Miao looked around, as if searching for something.
Joan's sense of smell is not as keen as Catwoman's, and he can't smell any mice. He opened the pocket of his robe, lowered his head and asked, "Taphy, can you smell the same kind?"
The Moonlight Mouse poked out of Joan's pocket to sniff, then changed his face, and screamed, "It's Uncle Jerry's smell! Everyone hide!"
"I don't think it's necessary to avoid a little mouse," Thomas said with a smile. "Of course, Edward may have a different opinion on this."
"It's not a small mouse, but a 'moonlight mouse'!" Tai Fei jumped up anxiously, "Not one, but a large group, definitely the scariest group of mice you have ever seen in your life!"
"Thomas... are you sure you don't want to hide?"
Edward's face was pale, and his eyes were fixed behind Neo Gambino.
Under the cold moonlight, a large area of gray tide is coming here, all of which are flying mice, the number is too numerous to count!
Before everyone came back to their senses, the rats had already rushed forward.
The first to suffer was Neo Gambino.
The swarm of rats obviously came to kill people, they surrounded him and bit him frantically.
The old squirrel man screamed and fell down. In a blink of an eye, he was devoured of flesh and blood, leaving only a pale skeleton.
The swarm of rats swept towards Joan and the others like a flood breaking a bank.
The change came too fast, and it was too late for Joan to cast spells in the normal way to protect his companions. In a flash, he activated the 6-level spell "Speedy Burst" that came with the "Styx Robe"!
"Speedy Burst" does not require gestures, incantations and materials, and is automatically cast instantly. The moment Joan is activated, he accelerates to the extreme, but from his perspective, everything in the outside world becomes extremely slow.
The Moonlight Rats flooding in from the opposite side seemed to be a group of slowly wriggling snails in this decelerating world.
The effect of "Rapid Burst" can only last for a short 3 seconds, which is only enough for Joan to cast a spell.
After quickly observing the positions of his companions around him, Joan decided to cast the 6-ring "repulsion spell" he copied from Master Rawls' spell book not long ago.
"Nuhta!"
Chanting a spell that symbolizes "stopping", Joan spread a faint silver light around his body, and the radiation range of the magic enchantment was extremely wide, covering a surrounding 240 feet of space, bringing Tai Fei, Xiaomao, Thomas, Edward, Alan As well as Rebecca and Conti in the distance are shrouded.
Many moonlight mice, headed by Tai Fei's uncle Jerry, were also in the radiation range of the "repulsion technique". After 3 seconds, the relative speed between Joan and the outside world returned to zero, and the moonlight mice all over the place immediately felt strong mental oppression , screaming, turned and fled.
Until they left the radiation space of the "repulsion technique", the Moonlight Rats regrouped, blinking their cunning little eyes, observing the people protected by the magic barrier, and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures to break the barrier.
At least for the next two or three minutes, Joan was secretly relieved that his side would be free from harassment by rats.
The group of Moonlight Rats on the opposite side was orderly, and their reaction speed was faster than that of the well-trained elite troops, reflecting the obvious "cluster" characteristics.
Joan suspects that they also have a super-intelligent "brood will", which can command all individuals in the cluster at the same time through telepathy, just like countless cells form a complete human body.
In order to verify his guess, Joan activated "Advanced Internal Vision" to observe the clusters of moonlight rats.
...
Reconnaissance target: Moonlight mouse swarm (ultra-small magic beast, swarm subspecies)
Attributes: strength 12 (full moon +10), agility 19, constitution 21 (full moon +10), intelligence 20 (brood will +8, full moon +10), perception 13, charisma 12 (full moon +10)
Special abilities: cluster characteristics, sensitive sense of smell, immunity to non-magic physical attacks, moonlight mind (when under the moonlight, the strength, constitution, intelligence and charm of the moonlight mouse will be enhanced, and the increase depends on the intensity of the moonlight), spreading diseases ( putrid fever), disturbing the mind; other (unspecified)
...
"Brood will" plus "moonlight mind", on this full moon night, the intelligence attribute of the moonlight mouse swarm increased by an additional 18 points-even though Joan had a premonition of this, he was still deeply shocked!
After being shocked, Qiao An suddenly had an inspiration.
The third-level spell "Bug Swarm Form" can temporarily transform the caster's own flesh and blood into swarms of ultra-small animals such as insects, mice, or bats.
If this magic is upgraded and optimized, or transformed into a mythical version, and combined with the injection of blood awakening agent, Joan feels that he should also be able to become a "moonlight rat swarm" form.
