Chapter 2570 Octopus Claw
Joan was very satisfied with the results of the investigation.
Maybe it's because she has taken the initiative to increase the benefits for the miners during this period, including reducing the working hours in disguise, adding a lunch, and the food is more abundant than when Mitra was in charge. Satisfied with the change, they were also grateful to the hostess who gave them benefits, and their loyalty soared. When they discovered the invasion of foreign enemies, they immediately picked up the pickaxe and spontaneously joined the battle to guard the mine, showing exceptional bravery.
Ella, the security supervisor of the mine appointed by Joan, is also faithfully fulfilling her mission, leading the tauren miners to resist the invaders, sending out supernatural rays one after another to kill the Dilro dwarves, and the main eye opens the "negative energy field". ", transforming the body of the Dillo dwarf into a zombie, manipulating this undead guard to join the ranks of slaughtering his former companions.
With the "Death-Eye Tyrant" in charge, the Dillo dwarves who broke into the mining area couldn't make much trouble, but it was another weirder intruder, which aroused Joan's vigilance.
These monsters look like large octopuses, with an ellipsoidal body in purple-red color and six tentacles covered with suckers, six of which are short and thick tentacles that act as legs, which can be sucked and wriggled quickly on the rock surface, and two The 10-foot-long tentacles end in specialized razor-sharp claws, apparently specialized weapons for hunting.
Joan also noticed that there was a strange star-shaped eyeball inlaid in the center of the swollen body of this monster, which turned rapidly from time to time, and the iris flashed a strange purple luster, which seemed to have some kind of supernatural visual effect. The stone wall to see the situation on the opposite side.
While Joan was fascinated to observe, an octopus-like monster climbed up the mine dome along the stone wall, hanging upside down above the melee zone like a bat, staring at a man who was wielding a mine pickaxe and beating up the Dilro dwarves below. Tauren, burst out a beam of magical light.
The tauren who was stared at by the monster trembled, and the movement of waving the mining pick became obviously sluggish.
Taking the opportunity, the octopus monster swooped down from the dome, hit the back of the prey by chance, wrapped its two tentacles with claws around the thick neck of the tauren, intending to strangle the prey unconscious, and then cut the throat with the claws, causing pain. Drink hot blood.
Joan raised an eye stalk, and shot the second-level psionic power "severe pain" at the octopus monster through the mirror.
The psychic energy turns into an invisible sharp blade and penetrates deeply into the monster's brain, causing 10-level psychic damage and additional pain like tearing the soul!
The monster attached to the tauren's back seemed to have been stabbed hard into the anus by a red-hot iron rod. The intense pain made it twitch all over, shrank into a ball screaming, and rolled down from the tauren.
The tauren, who was free from restraints, gasped heavily, his bull's eyes were bloodshot and red with rage, picked up the mining pick, roared and rushed towards the monster that was attacking him, and smashed the monster to pieces with the explosive hammer.
Qiao An didn't stop the tauren from whipping the corpse to vent his anger, and adjusted his angle of view to continue searching for the monster that resembled a terrestrial octopus.
In the underground biological literature she had read, there was no record of this monster. Fortunately, Mitra's memory bank provided her with relevant information.
This kind of creature is actually a strange monster created by the mind flayer, and it was named "Octopus Claw", and the flesh and blood tissue of the Beholder was implanted in the experimental body, so "Octopus Claw" also has part of the blood of the Beholder, This is evident from its appearance and its supernaturally capable eyeballs.
The lineage of beholders preserved by "Octopus Claw" is too thin to be considered a subspecies of beholders. There is only one star-shaped main eye on its body, which has the ability to see through, and can also transmit "slowness" through sight.
Judging from Mitra's attitude towards "Octopus Claws", the Beholder family hates this kind of monster that desecrates their noble blood.
In fact, beholders hate any creatures that look like themselves. If the opponent is their own kind or subspecies of beholders, they can barely bear it. You can never tolerate the other party jumping in front of your eyes.
Joan can understand the beholder's narcissistic mentality, but she just turned into a beholder physically, and she is still closer to humans psychologically. She won't feel offended when she sees octopus claws, but she wants to catch a few of these monsters and study them , to make a specimen.
Octopus claws are good at climbing and sneaking. The tunnels in the mine are criss-crossed like a maze. It is very difficult to search for octopus claws in such a complex environment. Joan thought about it, why not try to lure these monsters out of the dark corners.
She happened to have learned a spell suitable for this situation, so she selected the open area at the entrance of the mine, spent ten minutes of ritual, and cast an 8-ring "resonance spell" in this area.
The "resonance technique" applied to a certain area will continue to emit magical fluctuations, attracting specific types of creatures to gather here.
When Joan cast the spell, he set the octopus claw as the attracting target. After the "resonance technique" was completed, the area of influence covered the entire mining area. All the octopus claws lurking in this area felt a strong spiritual temptation, and rushed towards this side involuntarily.
Within ten minutes, all the octopus claws that invaded the mining area were attracted to the dome where Joan set up the "resonance technique". There were no less than forty or fifty octopus claws, crowded into a group, which looked like an octopus specialty store in a seafood market.
Ella and her tauren miners had slaughtered all the Dilo dwarves who broke into the mine at this time, and the migratory team tracking the octopus claws rushed over. Seeing a large group of octopus claws gathered here, they couldn't help being baffled.
Joan issued a mental command, telling Ella not to approach the area where the octopus claws gathered, and lead her tauren brothers to guard the outside of the cave, waiting for her follow-up orders.
Next, Qiao An drew a piece of "Mythical Power", activated the eighth-level path ability "Mythic Radiation", and blasted a "Rainbow Jet" that was super magical with "Spell Expansion" at the area where a large group of octopus claws gathered.
"Rainbow Jet" belongs to the radiation spell, which can be strengthened by "Mythical Radiation", automatically obtain the effects of "Magic Ultimate Effect" and "Spell Expansion", and then count the "Spell Expansion" that Joan made himself, the radiation of the colorful light cone The radius increased four times in total, covering the entire dome tightly, and none of the octopus claws in it slipped through the net, and each was hit by a rainbow light.
The octopus claws hit by the cyan rainbow light were petrified, and the octopus claws hit by the purple rainbow light were randomly transported to an alien plane. With the strengthening of "mythical radiation", it is reasonable to say that it is enough to kill an octopus claw in one blow.
However, when the colorful light in the dome dimmed, Joan discovered that six octopus claws were still alive.
