Chapter 605 Haunted Mine
Joan smoothly floated through the puddle in the form of "Eye of Insight". In front of him was a tunnel that was almost full of sewage. There was only less than five feet of space between the water surface and the ceiling, which was barely enough for the "Eye of Insight".
He slowly floated over, and when he was about to enter the tunnel, the water surface below suddenly stirred up waves, and a bone-like sharp claw emerged from the bottom of the water, trying to catch the eye stalk that was close to the water surface!
Fortunately, Joan was always alert to the movement around him, and the eyeball at the end of the stalk sensed the shadow passing by underwater in time, and hurriedly raised it up, narrowly avoiding the sharp claws, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
The first time he avoided the enemy's attack, Joan's main eyeball and the other three auxiliary eyes stared at the water surface at the same time, and saw a pale and crooked figure swimming quickly in the puddle. Judging from the silhouette reflected on the water surface, It should be an aquatic ghoul.
Joan is no stranger to this kind of undead creature. When he was still in his hometown of Delin Town a year ago, he accepted the entrustment of Nick Jing and his brother to help them expel the large group of water ghosts occupying the "Unfrozen Lake".
I don't know how deep the muddy puddle is, and I don't know how many water ghosts are lurking at the bottom of the water. Qiao An didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly turned around and floated back to the open area above the water surface.
At this time, the undercurrent started again under the water, and the water ghost that missed the sneak attack just now did not give up, like a big fish leaping out of the water, waving its bony claws, baring its foul-smelling fangs, towards the floating above the water. The "Eye of Insight" swooped over, trying to drag the big round eyeball into the puddle, hunt it down, and use fresh flesh and blood to satisfy its never-satisfying hunger.
laugh!
Joan stared suddenly, his pupils glowed red, and a beam of "scorching rays" hit the water ghost, burning the overwhelmed little monster into coke on the spot.
Qiao An raised his eyes and wiped off the cold sweat, and immediately opened the "fog vision" enchanted by the prosthetic eye. The main eye and the three auxiliary eyes all burst out with silver magic aura, and the line of sight penetrated the sewage barrier, and he could see the situation at the bottom of the water clearly .
After careful investigation, Qiao An confirmed that besides the water ghost he had just killed, there were two water ghosts lurking deep in the water-logged mine.
Qiao An didn't want to be on guard against these two cunning guys attacking him from behind all the time, so he decided to act first, drive the two water ghosts out and kill them!
The water ghosts hide at the bottom of the water more than 30 feet deep. Joan doesn't want to dive into the stinking sewage pit to fight them, and there are no spells suitable for attacking underwater targets. After thinking for a few seconds, he blinked his big eyes and finally thought of a good way .
Joan has become the "eye of insight". The clothes originally worn in the human form are no longer suitable for the new body, and will be automatically stored in the body under the action of magic. Although it cannot be seen from the outside, it can still be taken with you at any time items. He freed an eye stalk, groped a few times on the chubby body, and took out a sapphire necklace.
This necklace, taken from the Siren Banshee, is attached with a "water element gem", which is suitable for solving the current predicament.
"Yal!"
Joan shook the sapphire pendant, and a summoning spell poured out. The brilliance emitted by the gem illuminates the surface of the water, automatically forming a magic circle, and the accumulated water combines with the elemental spirits from other worlds to form a "large water elemental", waiting for the master's orders.
Joan pointed at the water with one eye stalk, and ordered the "large water element" through telepathy to try to drive out and destroy the two water ghosts hidden in the bottom of the water.
The large water element nodded obediently, swung its arms, and its body was like a huge blue spinning top, spinning rapidly in the center of the puddle, and the tide brought by it formed a huge vortex.
The suction force generated by the vortex forced the water ghost to approach involuntarily, struggling hard but unable to get rid of the strong current, they were sucked into the vortex in a blink of an eye, collided with each other, and screamed miserably.
The large water element suddenly stopped spinning, and the two water ghosts were thrown out of the water under the action of inertia, spun into the cave wall, bounced back and fell to the land, most of their bones were broken, and they lay on the ground moaning dying.
The large water elemental changed from the vortex form back to the giant form, dragged a pair of thick long arms away from the water and landed, grabbed a water ghost with one hand, and collided with all its strength, with a bang, both bare skulls burst.
Joan blinked in satisfaction, ordered the large water element to open the way, followed behind it, and continued to explore the depths of the mine.
Passing through the area where the sewage flows across, the terrain in front becomes higher, and the wooden rails submerged in the stagnant water resurface. Joan drove the large water element and walked along the track. On the way, he saw several rusty bucket carts. The rancid smell in the air became stronger, which made Joan have a bad feeling.
Turning a corner, there was a sudden sound of metal rubbing ahead, and there was a faint sound of heavy footsteps.
Joan immediately stopped, stared at the main eye, and stared in the direction of the abnormal movement.
A black figure staggered from the end of the tunnel, gradually becoming clearer, it was a pale and swollen zombie! Judging from his short, stocky figure and round-topped helmet, he should have been a dwarf miner during his lifetime. After his death, he was still wandering in the tunnel with a pickaxe tightly, as if he was still searching for mineral deposits. When the zombie walked, the pickaxe dragged on the ground, and the tip of the pickaxe rubbed against the uneven rocky ground, bursting out a string of dazzling sparks.
Zombies are undead creatures formed by the combination of negative energy and the ghosts of the dead. Although their eyeballs have rotted, they can sense the breath of creatures by virtue of the negative energy fluctuations radiated from their bodies. The pickaxe charged straight at it.
The large water elemental moves across its body to block the Miner Zombie, preventing it from reaching its master behind it.
The miner zombie whimpered with unknown meaning, raised the pickaxe with both hands, and slammed at the blue giant blocking in front of him. The sharp pickaxe pierced the water body restrained by magic power, stirring up a small wave, the impact was absorbed by the water body, and did not cause much substantial damage to the large water elemental.
Zombies move slowly, and their combat effectiveness is lackluster. The real threat is the disgusting rancid smell, as well as the various germs and toxins they carry. But in the face of elemental creatures that are not flesh and blood, rot and viruses are useless. The large water elemental rounded its arms, knocked the zombie's head away with a slap, and dropped the pickaxe to the ground.
After solving a zombie blocking the way, Joan continued to follow the large water element. After walking not far, they saw water accumulated in potholes in front of them, and three shambling figures were wading through the water, all holding pickaxes in their hands.
Apparently, they are zombies transformed from dwarven miners after their death.
