Chapter 111: Attack in the Mist
Chapter 112 Attack in the Mist
After Richard understood the memory of this murloc hunter, he fell into deep thought.
It seems that he is actually in the border area of the night elves, close to the control area of the gray dwarves.
However, it may be because the level of this murloc hunter in the murloc tribe is too low.
The key information Richard wants to know, such as how many high-level murloc warriors are there in the murloc tribe?
For example, are there any murloc prophets, who are similar to the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice?
In addition, the most important point is, if there are high-level magic stones, where are they stored?
Obviously, Richard did not find the answers to these questions in the memory of this murloc.
Therefore, at present, Richard has to find another murloc, a murloc with a higher status in the entire murloc village, to answer the above questions.
So, Richard let the Soul Devouring Demon Spider crawl out of the murloc hunter's body and continue to return to the body of the brain eater.
After three consecutive days of observation, Richard did not find any high-value murlocs coming out of the village.
The highest position is generally the captain of the murloc hunters. It is meaningless to take action, but it is easy to alert the enemy.
However, Richard is not in a hurry.
These days, Richard has been very fulfilled. He practices Rodrigo meditation once a day. Continuous practice of meditation allows his mental power to continue to grow at a stable rate.
When meditation is practiced to a high level, some strange abilities are often born. The higher the level of meditation, the more common this situation is.
Of course, generally speaking, to practice advanced meditation to the proficient level, the practitioner is probably already a senior third-level wizard apprentice.
And at the master level, there is no doubt that 99% of them are formal wizards.
Where can there be a freak like Richard!
It has not been long since his mental power entered the second-level wizard apprentice, but the advanced meditation method has been practiced to the master level. Therefore, this has led to a rapid increase in Richard's mental power in recent days.
In particular, Richard's Rodrigo Meditation Method is still the best among the advanced meditation methods. At the master level, the two subsidiary witchcrafts, energy-saving casting and secondary mental leveling, which are similar to the effects of first-level witchcraft, were born.
If Richard's total mental power reaches the threshold of a formal wizard, then these two subsidiary witchcrafts will undoubtedly become one of the options for gifted witchcraft.
What is gifted witchcraft? When a third-level wizard apprentice is promoted to a first-level wizard, a mental power core will be born in the spiritual sea. If one or two witchcraft models are built at the same time as the mental power core is born, then gifted witchcraft will be produced.
Its effect is equivalent to a monster that has mastered the gifted ability, so it is called gifted witchcraft.
Gifted witchcraft has two major characteristics, instantaneous and energy-saving casting, so when it comes to the third-level wizard apprentice stage, they are all desperately improving the meditation method and the control of important witchcraft, hoping to become one of the options for gifted witchcraft when promoted.
Among them, the secondary witchcraft of the intermediate and advanced meditation method will naturally become one of the options, which is why so many third-level wizard apprentices are eager to have a high-level meditation method.
Of course, in addition to practicing meditation, Richard also arranged to look through the recording crystal, which was the one given to him by Ophelia.
It records Jenna's experimental manuscripts, the old parchment scroll-the ritual of zombie transformation, and the rare zero-level witchcraft Undead Vision.
Today, Richard just got started with the Undead Vision. In his opinion, this zero-level witchcraft is quite useful in specific scenarios.
[Undead Vision: The caster can observe the world through the vision of the undead or undead summons controlled by himself. 】
This is equivalent to the "surveillance probe" in another world. As long as this zero-level witchcraft is cast, Richard is equivalent to turning on the "surveillance probe" and can immediately observe the surrounding situation through the vision of the skeleton guard guarding the entrance of the cave.
Moreover, as the level of control increases, Richard can also observe the surrounding environment through the vision of multiple undead summons at the same time, which is equivalent to the "multi-screen monitoring" of the other world.
This allows Richard to apply it to different scenarios such as reconnaissance, defense, and combat, and grasp the first-hand situation at any time, which is very practical.
The only regret for Richard is that there have been no brain-eating monsters attacking at night for several consecutive days.
"According to the memory of the fishman hunter, the Gray Fern Wilderness should be a paradise for monsters every night!
How come there have been no monsters to trouble me for three consecutive nights? Could it be that the cave I am in now is too remote and I have to move to the center of the Gray Fern Wilderness?" Richard couldn't help but think to himself.
Richard decided to see it again tonight. If it doesn't work, he will make a bait tomorrow, such as a large piece of bleeding steel bristle wild boar meat, to lure the monsters to try.
The steel-bristled boar was discovered by Richard in the Gray Fern Wilderness and named by himself. It is a pig-like animal with bristles like steel brushes and an appearance similar to wild boars on the ground. It has a violent and ferocious temperament, but its ribs are quite delicious.
Richard's plan is to eat the ribs of the steel-bristled boar himself, and the remaining part is just right to lure monsters.
After arranging skeleton guards to guard the cave entrance, Richard fell asleep peacefully.
Late at night, thick fog filled the air.
Gray Fern Wilderness, the entrance of the cave where Richard is.
Suddenly, a tentacle as thick as the mouth of a bowl was directly wrapped around it, and the skeleton guardian guarding the entrance of the cave instantly pulled it into the depths of the thick fog.
When Richard received a warning message from the skeleton guardian in his mind, he woke up instantly.
An inverse pentagram formation instantly lit up on the ground. Two skeleton archers and a skeleton berserker were immediately summoned by Richard to guard them tightly.
He himself looked outside the cave, but the thick fog at the door made it impossible for him to see anything clearly.
Suddenly, Richard recalled the zero-level witchcraft of Undead Vision and immediately started using it.
Suddenly, a small "screen" opened in Richard's field of vision, as if a "surveillance" had been turned on, and the screen kept shaking.
It was obvious that Richard's skeleton guardian was fighting to the death with the enemy. Although Richard could not see the enemy clearly due to the thick fog and shaking, the several python-like tentacles wrapped around the skeleton guardian's body were very clear.
Especially on the long tentacles, the suction cups the size of the mouth of a bowl are clearly visible.
At this time, the brain-eating monster controlled by the Soul-Eating Demon Spider also reacted and rushed directly into the fog to help the skeleton guardians, fighting the enemy together.
"Hiss! Could this giant tentacle be a shell-backed tentacle monster?" Richard was suddenly shocked.
He had already recalled a monster introduced in "Common Monsters in the Underdark" that looked like an octopus, but carried a thick snail shell on its back. It was extremely powerful, had rough skin and thick flesh, and had very good defense against physical attacks.
Although it looks like an octopus, it is a terrestrial monster and is afraid of fire and elemental damage.
The shell-backed tentacle monster probably didn't expect that a small skeleton would be so difficult to deal with.
Richard's skeleton guardian is slightly stronger than the skeleton warrior. In terms of attack power, it is not that good, but it is not easy to kill him at once!
Especially when there is a brain-eating monster harassing him.
The effect of the zero-level witchcraft of Undead Vision was immediately reflected, allowing Richard to instantly judge the reality of the enemy. Otherwise, Richard would face unknown enemies, which would greatly increase the difficulty of the battle.
Now that he knew his opponent's weakness, Richard immediately took out several bottles of Fire Dance Star from his arms and tied them to the arrows of himself and the undead archers.
Positioned as a skeleton guardian, Richard and two skeleton archers aimed at the enemy in the mist.
"Crack!" The shell-backed tentacle monster, after using five of its eight tentacles, seized the opportunity and twisted off the skull guardian's head.
Just when it was about to deal with the brain-eating monster, it suddenly heard "Swish, swish, swish!" Three sharp sounds broke through the air.
Only three quick red rays of light were seen falling on it quickly.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Following three violent explosions, the tentacle-backed monster let out a piercing scream!
Beat up the drowned dog!
Richard continued to attack without hesitation, throwing out Fire Dance Star and Silver Moon Dust as if they were free of charge.
The skeleton berserker also rushed forward to attack immediately.
After the shell-backed tentacle monster was injured all over its body, its physical defense capabilities also dropped significantly.
The skeleton berserker's giant ax slashed and chopped off three tentacles, immediately making the shell-backed tentacle monster feel timid.
But it was too late. After Richard's Slowness and Weakness spells were used together, the shell-backed tentacle monster could only be killed obediently!
[Energy found to be absorbed, yes/no? 】
"yes!"
[Acquire 5543 points of energy. 】
At this time, the Soul-eating Demonic Spider slowly crawled out of the brain-eating monster's body. When it was sucking souls in its infancy, it needed to be released from its possessed state.
When it climbed onto the back-shell tentacle monster to suck the soul, a thumb-sized amount of pure spiritual power was immediately fed back into Richard's spiritual sea.
Although it is still not as good as the brain-eating monster, it is still nearly half the amount.
This already made Richard very satisfied.
At this time, the Soul-eating Demon Spider sent a message to Richard, to the effect that he was possessed by the brain-eating monster, or the big guy in front of him.
After some thought, Richard decided to let the soul-eating spider possess the shell-backed tentacle monster.
After all, this thing is huge, comparable to a rhinoceros, and the heavy shell on its back did not shatter under the violent explosion of the Dancing Fire Star. It was just charred black, which shows its strong physical defense.
If it hadn't been suddenly hit by three fire-dancers, directly injuring its body, and instead hiding in its heavy shell, this battle would have lasted for a long time.
After the soul-eating spider crawled into the shell-backed tentacle monster, Richard ordered it to guard the entrance of the cave. With such a big thing blocking the entrance, nothing could come in unnoticed.
