Chapter 329 Ice Element (Subscription Request)
After hearing her plan, Gao Fei felt relieved and agreed to let Eve go ashore for reconnaissance. He also specifically told Mu Ning that before his mistress sneaked into the snow, he should remember to use the "spell sharing" feature of druids and natural partners to help her cast "flash", which would give her a 50% chance of evasion when attacked, adding a layer of safety.
Eve is a level 9 druid and can transform into a super-large earth element, but this time she deliberately suppressed her power and turned into a small earth element, like a clay doll more than two feet tall.
This is a very reasonable approach: the smaller the body, the more suitable it is for stealth reconnaissance, and the less likely it is to be discovered by the enemy.
After casting various protective spells, Eve sneaked into the ground.
Gao Fei and others were waiting on the bow, and their moods gradually became nervous.
About five minutes later, a magical wave was set off on the ship, and the super-small earth element that Eve transformed into was teleported back safely and turned back into human form.
Eve's reconnaissance results confirmed Gao Fei's guess.
"I went down to take a look. There was a group of large ice elements lurking about five feet deep under the snow. It's hard to say the exact number, but I'm afraid there will be no less than ten."
"I've only heard of earth elements, water elements, fire elements and wind elements. Today I learned that there is also an ice element." Jiang Feng exclaimed that he had opened his eyes.
"Master Su, the four elements of water, fire, wind and earth that we often talk about are actually just the most representative elemental creatures. The corresponding elemental energy is the purest. In addition, there are many mixed elements, such as ice elements, which have the characteristics of water elements, wind elements and earth elements. It's like when water condenses into ice, it will change from liquid to solid, and it looks more like a rock."
"Eve, is the ice element stronger or weaker than the four mainstream elements?" Gao Fei asked the druid girl.
"Compared with the same size, the ice element is slightly stronger, especially in the ice and snow environment. The ice element can move along the smooth ice surface without falling, and can also shuttle freely in the ice and snow, just like a fish swimming in the water. It is difficult to catch them."
"Then can you become an ice element?" Gao Fei asked.
"I want to, but unfortunately I can't." Eve shrugged and spread her hands. "We classical elemental druids can only transform into the four major elements of water, fire, wind and earth. As far as I know, only 'polar druids' and 'frost druids' can transform into ice elements..."
"The biggest problem we face now is how to drive the ice element out from underground." Jiang Feng turned his head and looked at Gao Fei, "Can your 'taunt' be performed through ice and snow?"
"Of course not!" Gao Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can't see where the enemy is, 'taunting' is equivalent to scolding myself."
"Master Su, Brother Basaka, I can drill into the ground and lure the ice element up." Eve said.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng shook their heads together.
The druid girl is very brave, but there is no point in doing so.
She can take the risk to lure the enemy, but the ice element is not an idiot. Once it finds that there are people on the ground waiting to beat it up, it will immediately drill back into the depths of the ice layer and never show its head again.
Looking at the snow on the dock and thinking for a while, Gao Fei turned around and asked Eve: "Are the ice elements scattered and lurking, or concentrated in one area?"
"A few are scattered around, and most are concentrated directly below the open space opposite the pier, with a radius of about 20 feet."
Eve pointed to the opposite side of the pier, about a hundred feet away.
Gao Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked her: "If I can clear all the ice and snow in the area where the ice elements are concentrated, can these monsters still sneak in the mud?"
"Absolutely not!" Eve said firmly, "The ice elements can only move freely if they keep in contact with the ice and snow. Without ice and snow, they are like crocodiles on the shore, and can only crawl slowly along the ground."
"Great!" Gao Fei smiled at Eve, "I have a way to force the ice elements out of the ground, but before that, you should bless everyone with "Anti-cold Barrier" and "Stone Skin" and be ready for battle."
"Okay, Brother Basaka!"
After going through so many ups and downs together, Eve has formed unconditional trust in him, and did not ask him what good method he had, and began to cast a spell.
Consuming 56 magic points, Eve cast a 2nd ring "Anti-cold Barrier" and a 4th ring "Stone Skin" for Gao Fei, Ai Er, Wu Shi and herself.
The former can provide 20 points of cold resistance to resist the cold damage caused by ice element attacks, and the latter provides 10/fine gold damage reduction armor.
Mu Ning shares the spell buff with the hostess, and no additional blessing is needed.
As for Jiang Feng, the "cold resistance ring" on his hand has 20 points of cold resistance. After activating the professional ability "flash shield", he automatically obtains 10/eclipse damage reduction armor, so Eve does not need to bless her with "stone skin".
After preparing for the battle, Gao Fei stood at the bow, slowly raised his left arm, pointed to the area where the ice element was concentrated, and stimulated the magic of the "fire giant arm armor".
The fire giant arm armor has completed the third-level synchronization, and 9 charges per day can be used to release "scorching rays", "fireworks" and... "fireball"!
The blazing magic power swirled in Gao Fei's palm, gathering into a shining spot of light the size of a table tennis ball, which flew out in the direction of his finger. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of a hundred feet and smashed into the snow, making a roar comparable to the explosion of a heavy artillery shell!
With the explosion point as the center, the violent eruption of flames filled the surrounding 20 feet space. The high temperature instantly evaporated the snow and ice on the ground into gas, exposing a large area of black soil. The eight large ice elements that were originally lurking in the nearby ice and snow were also exposed.
The regular damage of the 3rd ring "Fireball" is 10d6, which doubles the damage to cold creatures.
Gao Fei's fireball blasted over, causing an average of 70 points of high temperature damage to the eight large ice elements in the explosion area!
What surprised him a little was that none of these monsters covered with frost, which were like giants above the waist and silver snakes below the waist, died!
With curiosity, Gao Fei opened the star disk and checked the newly included monster illustrations.
No wonder the large ice elements are so hard-working. It turns out that their HP is as high as 126 points, and they also have 10-level natural defense and 5 points of damage reduction armor. The attributes are strength 21, agility 12, constitution 20, intelligence 6, perception 11, and charm 11.
In addition to being good at ice walking and ice diving, large ice elementals also have a supernatural sense called "ice vision", which can penetrate thick ice and snow obstacles without affecting vision.
In terms of offense, large ice elementals have mastered "multi-attack", "power attack" and "cleave", and melee attacks carry 1d6 cold damage. If the creature hit cannot pass the DC18 Fortitude save, it will be frozen and dazed, and its movements will be slow.
