Chapter 736 Confused Stare

"Wow! A hibernating dragon...slaying a dragon...treasure..."

Hailar quickly started a series of daydreams, trembling with excitement.

However, she soon noticed that there was mischief in Holden's smile, and that Audrey, Joanne, and Evelyn also looked helpless, and then realized that she had been tricked.

"Little rascal! Were you talking nonsense just now?"

"I was just using my imagination, but I didn't expect you to take this unfounded guess seriously."

Holden not only didn't feel wronged, but seriously taught Hailar a lesson.

"Sister who is a money fan, if you don't get rid of the problem of being a money fan, sooner or later you will be used by scammers and play around."

"Bah! I only believe you when I treat you as a friend. I don't want you to be full of nonsense, and I can't believe a single word!"

Hailar's cheeks flushed red with anger.

Holden didn't want to really provoke her, so he quickly changed the subject.

"What is buried in the underground mine, let's put it aside for a while. What is more important now is to figure out another thing."

"What kind of monster did Joan see at the end of the mine, and why did he almost lose his mind just by looking at it?"

"It's really a serious problem."

Audrey put away her smile and looked dignified.

"If we don't understand this matter, we won't be able to enter the depths of the mine and explore the mysteries in the ice layer. Otherwise, we'll be stared at by that mysterious monster, and we're guaranteed to turn everyone into a madman!"

"From Mr. Vader's description of the monster's appearance, I suspect it is an 'earth monster'."

Evelyn spoke suddenly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Earth giant monster..."

Joan was unfamiliar with this name, and there seemed to be no relevant records in the "Vares Monster Guide".

"The earth monster is a very rare underground creature. I heard that there are occasional earth monsters in the Nida Mountains. I thought it was a rumor, until Mr. Vader's experience proved the rumor to be true."

"The earth monster is said to be a humanoid monster originally from the 'Earth Elemental Plane'. I don't know whether it was summoned to the material world by the caster, or broke into the material world by itself through the cracks in the plane. In short, it settled down in the dark region. , only busy with two things from morning to night: digging holes non-stop, and foraging for food after digging.”

"Earth monsters can eat anything, and their powerful stomachs can digest almost everything. It is said that when they really can't find food, they can even temporarily fill their stomachs by swallowing rocks and mud."

"The level of intelligence of this kind of monsters is not high, and no one really understands what they are thinking. Their only interest is to keep digging tunnels, maybe they want to find the entrance to the plane back to their hometown 'Elemental World' deep in the earth's crust .”

"Most of the residents of the underground world live in dungeons or caves. It is conceivable that if there is an earth monster tirelessly digging tunnels under such a building, the foundation of the building will be shaken and it will easily collapse. "

"In the Nida Mountains, occasionally mines or settlements are attacked by giant earth monsters, and landslides occur almost without warning."

"For the people who survived such accidents, even if they witnessed the terrifying image of the giant monster, there are very few people who can describe the appearance of this monster in clear language in detail like Mr. Vader."

"This is because the earth giant has a very powerful supernatural ability. Anyone who comes into contact with him, if his will is not strong enough, will become confused or even insane. Even after proper treatment afterwards, the spirit can still recover Back to normal, and most of them can’t remember what happened when the accident happened.”

"Because eyewitnesses can't provide unified and credible testimony, we still don't have enough understanding of the earth monster, and we don't even know how to prevent the attack of this monster."

"When people notice the earth giant, they often have already made eye contact with the other party, and it is too late to escape at this time!"

Joan listened silently to the sorceress' narration, and her suspicions were verified one by one.

The creature named "Earth Hulk" probably has a supernatural ability similar to the 4-ring arcane "Confusion".

If it stares at it, it will lose its normal thinking ability in an instant, and it will not even realize that it is in danger.

As Evelyn said, people who are in confusion can't even generate the consciousness of "should escape as soon as possible", so how can they escape?

"This kind of staring attack sounds like the effect of the enchantment system that affects the mind. It should be able to resist with a strong will, right?"

Hyrule asked Evelyn.

"In theory, of course it is possible. The question is, who can guarantee that their willpower is strong enough to absolutely resist the gaze of the giant monster?"

Evelyn shrugged.

"Among all of us, no one has a stronger will than Joan. Even if he can't bear it, I'm afraid we will give it for nothing!" Holden shook his head and sighed.

Joan didn't fully agree with his pessimistic tone.

At the very least, Joan felt that Holden greatly underestimated his sister's willpower.

Her Royal Highness is a paladin who is protected by the divine grace of "Old Man Sun".

The extraordinary profession of "Paladin" is almost synonymous with firm will and never giving in!

Joan dare not say that her willpower is stronger than Audrey's.

But these few flaws did not prevent Holden from making correct conclusions.

Even if Audrey's will is strong enough to resist the "confused stare" once or twice, there is no guarantee that she will be able to resist the attack of magic power every time she meets the giant monster's eyes.

As long as there is just one negligence, or just bad luck, and you get the "Confused Gaze", all the previous resistance will be meaningless.

"It's too risky to rely on willpower to resist the giant monster's gaze, and it's not a wise move."

Joan made a conclusion in a deep voice.

"If we have to fight the giant earth monster, there are two more secure strategies."

"First of all, the 1st ring spell 'Protection from Evil', which can resist 'Confused Gaze' after being blessed in advance, everyone knows this spell, right?"

Joan looked around at his companions.

Hyrule, Audrey and Evelyn nodded together.

Only Holden looked embarrassed.

"Protection from Evil" is a very popular low-level spell. Unfortunately, this spell is not included in the bard's spell list.

"No, it doesn't matter. You can ask Evelyn to help you bless it. In addition, the bard's 2nd-level spell 'Stable Mind' can also suppress the confusion effect."

After listening to Joan's explanation, Holden felt a little relieved, and then asked, "What if we encounter the earth giant unexpectedly and it's too late to bless the protective spell?"

"Then you can only turn your back immediately, or close your eyes."

Evelyn explained the second strategy for Joan to fight the giant monster.
