Chapter 256 Carrion Eaters

Mario scratched his head and whispered to Claire: "So Brother Musk is a warlock, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Claire smiled bitterly and said nothing.

In fact, she only knew today that Musk could cast spells, and could also cast the "Whisper of Thorns" that she was best at. This was a bit too coincidental.

Gao Fei saw the doubts in Claire and Mario's eyes, smiled, and did not explain, and continued to search deep into the culvert.

After walking for about 20 minutes, a familiar squeak came from the front, and two giant rats appeared in Gao Fei's field of vision one after another.

If you only look at the data on paper, it is difficult for a level 2 mimic to deal with the siege of two giant rats.

But Gao Fei was not nervous at all.

He was confident that he could fight one against two, because "soft power" such as experience and skills could not be expressed through paper data.

He was not in a hurry, but Claire behind him was anxious, fearing that he would be sandwiched by two giant rats, and could not help but waved her hand to release a "flash spell", which temporarily blinded the giant rat in the front, and frightened it to run around on the ground, not caring about attacking Gao Fei.

Mario put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned his face away, pretending not to see Claire help Gao Fei out.

Gao Fei turned his head and cast a grateful glance at Sister Claire, and at the same time, he got a "flash spell" for free.

He is now a level 2 mimic, equipped with the "Warlock Mask". In addition to "Whip of Thorns", he can also imitate another 0-ring magic, and copy Claire's "flash spell" to his own spell list.

Next, Gao Fei alternately cast "flash spell" and "Whip of Thorns", controlling a giant rat and whipping another giant rat at the same time.

The whipped giant rat screamed in pain and repeatedly tried to rush to Gao Fei and retaliate.

However, Gao Fei never let it do what it wanted. While whipping it, he also dragged it back 10 feet so that it could not get close to him.

This set of "control and attack" tactics, Gao Fei came up with it easily and freely.

Claire and Mario, who were watching the battle, could not help but nod their heads repeatedly and cheered for the little brother secretly.

However, the situation on the battlefield soon changed.

The giant rat, whose eyes were repeatedly ravaged by Gao Fei's "flash magic", finally had a moment of luck. It actually passed the "will immunity" and resisted the third wave of "flash magic" that hit it. With red and swollen eyes, it rushed straight to Gao Fei with anger!

Seeing this scene, Claire and Mario changed their faces and hesitated whether to help Gao Fei out.

At this moment, Gao Fei turned around and waved at them, indicating that there was no need to worry, and his face was as calm as before.

Seeing that the giant rat was already approaching, Gao Fei calmly dodged and bit, and then activated the bonus specialty "agile movements" that he had learned not long ago, executed the "retreat" command, and avoided the giant rat's attack and fled away from it.

The giant rat squeaked and screamed, and in the next round of action, it put all its strength into chasing Gao Fei.

Gao Fei continued to activate "agile movements" and executed the "sprint" command. The movement speed doubled in this round, and he walked like the wind. In a blink of an eye, he left the giant rat far behind.

When the two sides pulled a safe distance, Gao Fei stopped and cast a spell, waving the "whip of thorns" to whip the giant rat that was chasing him, pulling it back 10 feet, and then added a "flash spell".

This time, the giant rat's good luck ended, and its eyes went black and it temporarily fell into a state of blindness.

Gao Fei had a blank expression on his face and continued to whip and kill the giant rat.

There was another giant rat, which had been whipped twice before and was already dying.

Gao Fei chased it and finally whipped it, harvesting the remaining 1 HP of the giant rat.

After hunting three giant rats, Gao Fei has completed the test proposed by Umberto, but has not received the prompt of reaching the plot milestone. He knows that there are "surprises" waiting for him in this underground ditch trip.

Gao Fei cut off the tails of the two giant rats and returned the dagger to Mario Ricardo.

"Brother Musk, now I finally believe that you are indeed capable of defeating Mike and Billy!" Mario hugged Gao Fei's shoulders tightly, "Welcome to join our big family!"

Claire was also very pleased with Gao Fei's outstanding performance. She smiled and said to him: "Let's go back and report to Brother Umberto. We have to drink tonight to celebrate the addition of a young talent to the Street Angels!"

"Sister Claire, you still have to perform on stage tonight. If you return to the troupe drunk, the boss will be so angry that his head will smoke!" Gao Fei reminded.

"Damn, I forgot about this!" Claire said angrily.

"Claire, with your ability, you can make a living anywhere, why do you have to stay in the circus?" Mario asked.

Gao Fei had the same question, so he looked at Claire, expecting her to give a reasonable explanation.

"Like Musk, I am an orphan and grew up in the circus. If it weren't for the boss's care, I would have starved to death on the street or become a streetwalker selling my body. How could I be where I am today?"

Claire sighed, her words revealing true feelings.

"In this world, the two people I am most grateful to are Brother Umberto and Mr. Puzo. I regard them as my own relatives. If necessary, I am willing to sacrifice everything for them, including my own life."

Gao Fei and Mario looked at each other and tacitly changed the topic to a lighter one.

Gao Fei planned to return the same way, but Mario said there was a shortcut nearby and led the way.

After turning a fork in the road, Gao Fei found that the drainage channels on both sides of the culvert were floating with green algae, and the smell was getting more and more fishy!

After walking a distance forward, there was a sound of slapping mud in the darkness, and there were faint shadows swaying.

Mario, who was leading the way, stopped and signaled Gao Fei and Claire to be more vigilant.

Claire touched the bag on her waist and took out a white sphere as big as a fist. It seemed to be some kind of alchemical prop, with a layer of wax shell on the surface.

She crushed the wax shell and threw it out.

The spherical object fell to the ground, broke into two halves, and scattered brown powder.

When the alchemical substance came into contact with the air, it immediately burned fiercely and formed a bonfire.

With the help of the flames, Gao Fei saw two huge green worms, one of which was wriggling in the ditch mud, and the other was clinging to the smooth side wall of the culvert.

These two strange insects are 3 meters long from head to tail, with a pair of slightly trembling tentacles on their heads and a pair of strong jaws like pliers.

Around the jaws of the strange insects, eight slender and slimy tentacles extend, each of which is two or three feet long. The ends of the swollen tentacles are pod-shaped, and the side that curls inward is covered with dense barbs. It looks like a freak of a giant green worm and a cephalopod randomly put together, and it exudes a disgusting stench!
