Volume 19 Chapter 224 Temptation
In order to determine whether the fat monster has any other abilities, I think it is necessary to send a few more creatures to test it. Of course, the most suitable test creature is the Candle Bee. After all, they are all good at self-destruction. They can test the monster's ability while ensuring that they will not provide the monster with new food. As long as the monster dares to fuse with the candle bee, I can remotely detonate the candle bee. So the more it eats, the faster it dies.
Although there was a plan to send out Candle Bees to test that guy, that was definitely not possible now. Most of my candle bees are still around, and I only had three left at the mouth of the valley before. Two of them were killed by bugs in the forest before the monster arrived, and with the one that just self-destructed, there were no Candle Bees near that guy. If I want to continue the experiment, I can only send the candle bees from my side again, but this will take time. Fortunately, with the ghost bugs following me, I am not afraid of losing the target.
The guy entered the valley smoothly without my interference, and then he also encountered swarms of insects in the same situation as us. However, to it, these bugs are not enemies at all, but its supplements. After discovering this moving mountain of meat, the bugs swarmed up together, but all the bugs that came into contact with it were immediately stuck to its body as if they were stuck in a quagmire and were gradually swallowed into the body.
After eating no less than tens of thousands of bugs in one go, this guy's body shape changed a lot. It looks more like a monster now than it did before. The body made of huge fat meat was surrounded by the remains of various insects. It looked like this guy was like a huge walking garbage pile.
It was more than twenty minutes later when the Candle Bees I sent approached this guy again. At this time, this guy was bypassing the dense forest and heading in a straight line towards the direction of the laboratory. Now even without Corolla's contract induction, we can be sure that this guy is the owner of the laboratory Corolla mentioned before, because he obviously knows the specific location of the laboratory. This guy didn't take any detours from the moment he entered the valley entrance, he just headed straight towards the laboratory.
As I expected, although it became a monster, this guy's intelligence was not lost. After all, its soul was the original owner of the laboratory, and anyone who could build a magic laboratory would not be a fool. This guy immediately became nervous after hearing the unique buzzing sound of a bomber flying at low altitude when the Candle Bee was flying. It was obvious that he still remembered the Candle Bee that injured him before.
Just after this guy adjusted his direction to face the direction in which the Candle Bee was flying, he soon discovered a Candle Bee flying out from the gap in the trees, but this time there was not just one Candle Bee. But a group. Just after the first candle bee appeared, a large group of candle bees suddenly rushed out from behind the big tree.
The monster that was still on guard suddenly did something very surprising when it discovered the sudden appearance of a large swarm of Candle Bees. That is, it did not fight back, but turned around and ran away.
"What is it doing?" Through the sight of the ghost bug, we can all see the monster running wildly in the forest, trying to get rid of the candle bees that are chasing behind it. This guy can attack the Protoss, so there is absolutely no way its ability is so weak. Although Candle Bees can explode, they are only creatures over level 400 after all. There is no reason to scare away powerful creatures that can attack the Gods?
Just when we were wondering why the guy was running away, a candle bee had already caught up with the guy. After successfully landing on the guy, the candle bee immediately followed my instructions and violently removed the poison behind its tail. The needle penetrated the guy's body, and then the skin around the poisonous needle began to quickly turn green and black.
Although it was stung, the monster was still running as if it was completely unconscious. It was not until the toxin on the shoulder began to expand that the guy suddenly realized that he had been stung. He turned around in panic and wanted to slap the candle bee, but the candle bee's reaction speed was not slow and left the guy's body with a slight jump. When the guy saw the candle bee running away, he didn't chase it. Instead, he turned around and started running. It felt like he regarded the candle bee as a natural enemy.
"It's strange, why is it so afraid of Candle Bees?" Looking at the monster running away in a hurry, I really don't understand how a powerful being that can attack the gods can be chased by a level 400 Candle Bee like a bereaved dog!
"I seem to understand a little bit more." Ling said suddenly.
I looked at Ling in confusion and asked, "Do you understand?"
Ling nodded and said: "That guy's special ability should be devouring, swallowing all living things through contact and absorbing them into a part of his body. This is how the guy survived when he was attacked by bugs. I guess he attacked the gods. It was also through this method that he came into contact with the opponent's body, and then he used this contact to eat the entire protoss into his body. This is why the Free Protoss previously reported missing persons without confirming death. Because He ate those gods, so the body could not be found, and if there is no body, it can only be regarded as missing."
After listening to Ling's explanation, I finally understood why that thing was afraid of candle bees. Although Ling didn't directly explain why that thing was afraid of candle bees, from Ling's explanation, it can be imagined that the power of that thing is precisely because of its invincible devouring ability. On the other hand, because the Candle Bee will self-destruct, not only can it not be able to devour the Candle Bee, but its own flesh and blood will also be consumed. Because of this, it will only become weaker and weaker when fighting against candle bees, which is why it is so afraid of candle bees. It's not that it can't beat the Candle Bee, but it's because it doesn't want to. After fighting with other creatures, it can absorb the opponent's corpse to replenish its consumption. Fighting with the candle bee will only make it weaker and weaker. Of course, it will not come into contact with the candle bee.
After understanding this guy's physical characteristics, I wasn't too worried. If it really only relies on its devouring ability to fight, then I only need to send Xiaofeng, Everett, Brigitte and Sayoko out. Xiaofeng is a phoenix and can transform himself into elements when necessary. That guy can swallow flesh and blood, but it certainly can't swallow fire, so Xiaofeng will be a more terrifying existence to it than Candle Bee. The situation of Brigitte, Everett and Xiaofeng is similar. Firstly, they both have elemental bodies. Secondly, they are constructed creatures. Even if they don't use elementalization, their bodies can only be regarded as a bunch of living things. It's just 'sex' metal. No matter how strong the monster's devouring ability is, it can't catch and eat whatever it wants, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't have to bother the gods, and it could just lie down on the ground and swallow the entire earth. Therefore, Everett and Brigitte, who have inanimate structures, are not easy to deal with for this guy. As for Sayoko, she has no body in the first place. If the monster eats her, it is like eating air, so it still has nothing to do with her.
Although I thought of these few beings who could deal with that guy, I had no intention of sending them right now. Firstly, it’s because I don’t want them to go, and secondly, it’s because I’m not sure yet whether that guy has other attack abilities. Although the current situation seems that this guy only has strong devouring ability, there is no guarantee that it will not have other life-saving skills, so I decided to test it again.
Because this guy ran away when he saw Candle Bee, you can't use Candle Bee if you try again now. This time I directly sent out a lot of Death Guards. These magical creatures themselves are condensed with magic power. Their bodies are just piles of sand. Even if the monster catches the Death Guards, it can't get any energy from them. Replenish.
This time, because the distance was much closer, the Death Guards quickly arrived near the monster. Unlike us, Death Guards have no body odor because they are magical creatures. Every time the various bugs in the valley saw me, they rushed towards me like a child seeing a butter cake, but these death guards were regarded by the bugs as beings like rocks, even if the god of death The guards passed through the pile of bugs, and no bug looked at them twice. This is the benefit of not being alive.
Seeing the large group of Death Guards quickly getting into position, I immediately issued an attack order, and then a relatively tall Death Guard suddenly stood up from behind the bushes where he was hiding, and then he raised the crescent-shaped scimitar in his hand and pointed forward. He let out a howl, and upon hearing the howl, the other Death Guards around him immediately came out of their hiding places and rushed toward the monster below.
I often command hundreds or thousands of summoned creatures in battle, and I now have some knowledge of command science. The location of this ambush happened to be a relatively open forest glade. The surrounding trees were relatively sparse, which did not affect the charge of the Death Guard. Moreover, the terrain of this area was also a small basin structure, and the guy happened to be standing at the bottom of the basin. Position, the Death Guards swooped down from the surrounding hillsides. With their long legs and super jumping power, the Death Guards could complete the charge of less than 100 meters in less than five seconds.
The monster didn't expect to be attacked suddenly, and the Death Guards around it didn't look like local creatures. Therefore, it was stunned for two seconds after the Death Guards appeared. But even if it wasn't stunned, it would probably be in this situation now. It had no choice but to continue standing there.
Unsurprisingly, the Death Guards who started charging took full advantage of their height and long legs. Those low shrubs could not affect the progress of the nearly three-meter-tall Death Guards at all. With the momentum of the downhill, every step they took could Jumping seven or eight meters away, the monster below barely even reacted. The first death guard had already rushed in front of it.
Crack. The Death Guard who was the first to approach had no intention of slowing down, and just waved his scimitar and rushed past the monster, taking away a piece of rotten meat from the boss by the way. The other Death Guards around were not much slower than the first Death Guard to arrive. Just after the first Death Guard succeeded in attacking, the surrounding Death Guards immediately swished past, and these Death Guards Every time the guard passed by, a large piece of flesh and blood would fly away from the guy. Through the sight of the nearby ghost bugs, we can see that the monster in the valley below was like a torn bag, and its flesh and blood was cut away by hundreds of charging death guards. It was probably just like this, right?
Seeing the monster below being hacked in turn by many death guards without any chance of fighting back, I and other familiars were a little dazed.
"Is this guy too weak?" Xiao Chun couldn't help but asked as he looked at the monster that was about to be chopped into dumplings by the Death Guards.
Ling answered in front of me: "It can't be so weak. This guy must have other ways of fighting."
I finally said: "It doesn't matter if you have it or not. Anyway, I don't expect to be able to take care of it with the death guards. As long as I can 'force' its life-saving trick. Having said that, do you think this guy will be like Lilith?" If we swallow each other, who will win in the end?"
Lilith, a mutant lich, seems to have similar characteristics to this monster. They are both able to devour other people's bodies by touching them. Of course, judging from the current situation, Lilith's ability may be much more advanced than this guy's, because Lilith's devouring speed is much faster than this guy's. After this guy eats other creatures, there are often undigested parts like arms and legs left on his body. It takes a long time to disappear completely, but every time Lilith comes into contact with any creature, it usually takes less than a minute to kill the other creature. Eat clean. In addition, this guy seems to have no control over his body structure. Otherwise, his human soul would not allow his body to develop such a virtue. In contrast, Lilith can not only control her body shape and appearance, but can even transform into the appearance of the creature she eats at any time. This ability is much stronger than the monster in front of her.
Just because I think Lilith should be stronger than this guy, I don't plan to let Xiaofeng or Everett, their magic pets who can't be swallowed, deal with the monster. Lilith's growth requires new genetic samples. The more powerful the samples, the more capable they will be. Although the thing in front of me may not be as powerful as Lilith, it can at least attack the gods. I believe that after Lilith swallows it, she can extract some useful gene fragments.
Just as I was thinking wildly here, the fighting in the valley finally stopped, because just after hundreds of death guards rushed back and forth twice, they found that the monster had been cut into pieces by them. Skeletons, and large areas of flesh and blood were scattered on the ground. I really didn't expect that the Death Guards would actually delay this guy in such a short time. No, this is even worse than Ling Chi. Ling Chi could only cut into slices and shreds. This guy was cut into minced flesh and didn't fall down. Isn't that much worse than Ling Chi? Wait, it didn’t fall?
After seeing the terrifying scene in that scene, I didn't react at first, but then I suddenly realized. Why didn't that guy fall down even after he turned into a skeleton?
Just when I was puzzled, the skeleton in the field suddenly raised its right hand, and all the death guards around him suddenly flew up into the sky involuntarily, and then I saw the guy's bone grasp fiercely, and those The flying death guards all gathered in the middle and collided with each other. If it were a normal person, this impact would probably knock the person unconscious. However, the Death Guards are magical creatures and they would not be stunned at all, so the Death Guards immediately put away their scimitars and raised their hands and started throwing them at this guy's skull. magic.
The Death Guards summoned by the Death Mark that Anubis gave me are not simple monsters. Some of their abilities were borrowed from me. Although they still retain the basic shape of the Death Guards with wolf heads and human bodies, these Death Guards are all combatants with both physical and demonic abilities like me. Moreover, these guys can actually summon creatures.
Just when the death guards were all crushed into a pile, a large white light suddenly flashed on the surrounding ground, and then piles of various animals appeared on the ground. Before the skeleton could react, these creatures suddenly rushed towards the skeleton. The fastest creature that looked like a fox was the first to jump on the skeleton, biting the skeleton's arm bone and trying to pull it down, but it was bounced away by the skeleton before it could use its strength. But while it bounced away, it bought time for the animal behind it. The dense swarm of creatures rushed towards the skeleton's body frantically and began to bite and drag it in an attempt to completely tear it apart.
Although the skeleton had no skin and flesh on its body, it was surprisingly strong. At first, the small and fast creatures couldn't handle it, but the situation immediately changed when the large creatures behind it came up. The first bear creature to arrive went up and knocked the skeleton to the ground with one claw. The death guards in the sky also fell together because of the sudden fall of the skeleton. Apparently the guy's magic was broken.
Looking at the skeleton that was thrown to the ground and gradually submerged by many creatures, the little dragon girl couldn't help but said: "This guy won't really be killed by the Death Guard, right? Although the Death Guard's characteristics are just right to restrain this guy, but After all, the level difference is so big, you can’t really kill it, right?”
Before I could answer, I suddenly heard Ling say: "Wait a minute, it's about to use its ultimate move."
Following Ling's reminder, our attention shifted to that guy again. Zumi saw that the skeletons buried beneath the numerous summoned creatures were completely invisible at this time. However, at this moment, countless green rays of light suddenly shot out from the gaps between the bodies of the monsters in the middle. When he came out, he saw the entire pile of creatures exploded with a loud bang. All the creatures summoned by the Death Guard turned into piles of black sand in the explosion and then disappeared. in the air. Of course, this is not because the explosion was too powerful and burned those creatures to ashes, but because these creatures are also magical creatures condensed from the magic of death like the Death Guards. When their magical life is exhausted, they will return to black sand.
After blasting away all the creatures with one move, the skeleton on the ground actually got up again, and then he saw a piece of pulpy red flesh and blood mud nearby that had been trampled by the creatures unexpectedly emerged from the ground like a slime monster. Surging and rising. The disgusting red flesh and blood mud quickly flowed onto the skeleton's body and quickly condensed to form a perfect male body.
We all thought we would see the monster again but were stunned by the sudden appearance of this man in front of us. "Why did he act like a monster before he could return to his human form?"
