Chapter 653: Slaanesh's influence is like a flood and a beast

When I first saw this "bud", if it wasn't for the strong smell of pollution it constantly radiated around it, it would be hard to associate it with the concept of monsters.

Because it doesn't meet the characteristics of monsters in many places.

Whether in the Dark Forest or the Spirit Wing Wetland, the monsters rampaging there are characterized by "madness, ferocity, and brutality".

Fighting against them is quite a test of the level of the warrior companions who serve as the front row of the team.

A strong warrior can rely on the shield in his hand and dodge and parry to block most of the monster's attacks, thereby minimizing the damage and pollution he needs to bear.

If he is strong enough, he can even achieve no damage.

For example, Brandon can basically achieve "no damage" when fighting most level 3 monsters.

For those with lower levels, defense will be dwarfed, and teammates, especially priest companions, need to cover him from behind.

During or after the battle, dispel the accumulated pollution on the warrior.

For this combat mode, Norman's evaluation of it is: both positive feedback and negative feedback effects are extremely serious.

The smoother the battle, the less damage you will receive, which will make the battle smoother;

The same goes for the same reason.

The more stumbling the battle, the more damage you will receive, and the more unsuccessful the battle will be.

In short, those monsters give people a feeling of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong".

The weaker the opponent, the more the monster will increase their strength, putting them in a vicious cycle.

But this "bud" monster that appeared in the arena looked very strange.

Its slow movements, let alone skilled warriors, it is estimated that even the grandmother of the warrior profession can easily dodge.

Not to mention the appearance.

The body surface of ordinary monsters often undergoes malignant deformation.

Either it becomes full of cysts and pustules, mainly counter-injury, and any attack on it will cause the contaminated pus inside to spray out, causing serious impact on the surrounding attackers;

Or it grows a hard and sharp cuticle, mainly hardness, and ordinary weapons and attacks cannot even break its basic defense, and any part of the monster's own body may become a means of attack.

The most troublesome thing is to combine the two, such as the Stone Spirit freak, which has both hard barbs and sharp mouthparts on its tentacles, as well as disgusting abscesses and cysts.

This "bud" monster looks very easy to bully.

The flesh-red appearance seems to have no defense ability.

"What is the origin of this monster?"

The more abnormal it is, the higher Pete's vigilance becomes.

Rune Monger specially invited them and organized a party, calling so many people. Now there are at least hundreds of people sitting in the stands of the arena, including nobles, merchants, mercenaries, spellcasters and other groups in the capital. It is impossible for him to kindly give them an easy-to-bully monster for free!

For this kind of monster that has never been seen before and has never fought before, the usual method is to deal with it and test it to find out its attack method, weak point location and other intelligence information.

Pete took out a handful of silver grains and two crystal clear and fine gems, one blue and one purple, from the material package he had just sorted out.

As for the materials needed for the battle, Monger generously took care of all of them. Before the monster fight began, Pete only needed to give the waiter a list, and the materials that could be found in the manor would be delivered quickly.

So Pete could let go in this battle and release some magic that he had learned but would not use under normal circumstances.

Lancelot also looked eager to try.

He did not need to wear armor, so he did not use the equipment provided by Monger, but he also asked the waiter for some things for combat skills.

He was about to chant the spell and build a spell model.

A series of information suddenly flooded into his mind, which made Pete stunned and interrupted his actions.

"Huh?!"

[Monster: Carnival Bud]

[Current level: Level 3]

[Monster characteristics: When subjected to fierce physical attacks, it releases "Carnival Breath", which takes effect quickly after being inhaled into the body, producing strong aphrodisiac and severe hallucination effects! 】

[Health: 100%]

[Remaining Carnival Breath: 100%]

[Warning: Slaanesh is like a flood and a beast! 】

This is a guide from the God of Knowledge, Nowen, himself!

Pete was shocked.

…

As a rule of thumb, Nowen will basically not take the initiative to feed the monster intelligence information he has obtained to the believers, unless the believers take the initiative to pray to him.

Because Nowen found that this thing, like the knowledge of divine arts and magic he has given, will be directly locked on the soul of the believers for unknown reasons.

The information obtained by the believers' prayers can only be known by themselves;

If others want to know the same information, they have to pray to Nowen again, consume destiny points, and obtain information.

The more powerful the monster, the more destiny points the believers need to consume to obtain intelligence information.

There are so many types of monsters. If they really rely on this method to solve every monster they encounter, the believers will not have enough destiny points to spend.

Once a believer has obtained relevant monster intelligence from Nowen through prayer, any additional information he subsequently summarizes will also be locked at the level of his soul and cannot be shared.

So now they will try to explore, communicate and summarize as much as possible. If they really can't figure it out, they will try to seek guidance from Nowen.

The information discovered and summarized by the believers themselves will not be affected by the soul lock and can be shared with each other.

Some believers even specially compiled the illustrations of the relevant monster information and printed them into books for sale in the Dawn City.

It records in detail the information of various monsters that have been summarized, including their appearance, strength, degree of danger, characteristics, weaknesses and other information.

This time is an exception.

Nowen took the initiative and directly handed the information to Pete, Miranda and Lancelot for free.

Although doing so will prevent them from sharing the information about [Carnival Buds] with others in the future, it is obviously more cost-effective to solve the current "danger" than this consequence.

After learning about the characteristics of this monster, Nowen realized:

If Pete and the other three still follow the conventional thinking to test this monster, I am afraid they will really suffer a big loss!

Rune Monger is indeed well prepared.

He prepared a very special monster and dug a big pit for Pete and the others!

Seeing that his believers might fall into the pit, Norman certainly couldn't bear it.

In front of the gods, there is no difference between open and secret plots, and nothing can escape.

Norman saw at a glance what kind of despicable plan Rune Monger had.

His believers, he will take the initiative to protect them!
