Chapter 499 Empty Shell

Subway doors are equipped with special electromagnetic locks.

Qi Tian switched to the thief profession and took two minutes to pick the door lock of the first car.

The moment the car door was opened, a large amount of water poured in from outside the door, causing the water level in the car to rise again.

Gao Fei was the first to enter the waterlogged compartment.

The height from the floor to the ceiling of the carriage is about 3 meters, and the depth of water accumulation exceeds 1 meter.

As soon as Gao Fei entered, his body rose upwards under the effect of "buoyancy blessing". Before his feet even came out of the water, his head had already hit the ceiling.

The carriage was quiet and dark, with only a slight reflection on the water.

Gao Fei turned around and gestured.

Jiang Feng, who was following him, opened the "Daylight Barrier" knowingly, and the light emanating from his body illuminated the carriage.

Using the light, Gao Fei saw a giant crab bobbing in the water not far ahead, and he quickly showed his Thunder King's fangs, preparing to fight.

However, unexpectedly, the giant crab had no intention of attacking and was hanging in the water, seemingly dead.

Gao Fei walked in to observe and confirmed that there was only an empty shell left in the giant crab, and there was a vague rustling sound inside the shell.

This scene seems familiar...

Stay alert and use your astrolabe to detect empty Cancer shells.

As expected.

There is a group of piranhas lurking inside the giant crab, greedily gnawing at the remaining crab meat wrapped in the hard shell.

Jiang Feng drew out his true energy and planned to smash the crab shells inhabited by the piranhas with one palm, but was stopped by Gao Fei.

"The piranhas are protected by a thick layer of crab shells. It's hard to kill them all with your palm."

"The frightened piranha escapes from the crab shell and swims around, making it more difficult to handle."

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Feng was in trouble, "We can't just leave it alone."

"It would be great if Li Jiajia was here. He could play the harmonica to lure the piranhas out of the crab shells."

Qi Tian used to look down on Li Jiajia the most, but now he had to admit that without this bard in the team, many problems would become more difficult to deal with.

"'Ecstasy', Brother Fei knows it too, let him sing one!"

Ma Yun came up with ideas from behind.

"You don't think my singing is ugly now?"

Gao Fei finally took the opportunity to show off, but he had to cross his arms for a while!

"It doesn't matter whether you sing well or not, as long as you have a mouth!"

Jiang Feng said casually.

"No...is it that difficult for you to face reality and admit that I sing well?"

Gao Fei couldn't help but feel aggrieved that his talent was not appreciated.

"Brother Fei! When these words come out of your mouth, they seem extremely unrealistic!" Ma Yun looked helpless.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

Goofy switched out his poet mask and cleared his throat.

"Ahem! A song called "Big Fish", dedicated to my dear friends."

As Jiang Feng said, for a bard, all he needs is "a mouth."

Whether the singing sounds good or not is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, regardless of folk, jazz, rap or death metal, they can all serve as a medium to spread "ecstasy".

…

The waves silently submerged the night deeply

Overflowing the corner of the sky

Big fish swim through the gaps in dreams

Staring at your sleeping silhouette

Look at the sea and the sky

Listen to the wind and rain

…

The piranhas had very low will resistance, and when they felt the vibration of the water flow caused by the supernatural sound waves, they were all confused. They got out of the crab shell one after another, gathered in front of Goofy, and listened in rapt attention.

While Gao Fei sang emotionally, he quietly took out the Frost Star Wand from the astrolabe and poked Ma Yun's head.

Classmate Xiao Ma first touched his head and glared, then suddenly realized his intention, turned his anger into joy, and took the wand from his hand.

Spellcasting professions such as wizards and warlocks do not need to learn a certain arcane spell and can directly use the corresponding wand.

Ma Yun held the magic wand, pointed at the swarms of piranhas gathered on the water, and fired a "frost nova".

Bang!

The cold and pale cyclone suddenly erupted, instantly freezing the water where the fish were located into ice.

The damage of level 3 "Frost Nova" is 10d6.

The damage of group attack spells to swarm creatures is doubled.

A "frost nova" shot down, instantly killing the piranha group.

When Gao Fei saw that the threat in the carriage was over, he stopped singing.

Sporadic applause from teammates came from behind.

"Except for being a little out of tune and unable to hit the high notes, my singing was okay."

Wang Daqing made a fair evaluation.

There was no one in this empty carriage, and no human remains were found. It was a blessing in misfortune.

Gao Fei and others searched in the direction of the rear of the car.

When a car door blocks the way, Qitian takes action to pick the lock.

After passing through four empty carriages in succession, we still didn't meet a single trapped passenger, and everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

Qi Tian pried open the car door again, and after taking a few steps forward, the water in front of him suddenly made waves.

He quickly stopped and made a gesture to warn his companions behind him to be careful.

At the same time, Gao Fei also noticed the undercurrent surging in the water below his feet, and quickly lowered his head to check.

Yet it's strange.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the water in the car was crystal clear, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Just when Gao Fei was secretly wondering, two almost transparent tentacles suddenly stretched out from the water, wrapped around Qitian's ankles, and violently pulled him off!

"Wori!"

Exclamations echoed in the empty carriage.

Qi Tian had no time to struggle, and was tightly wrapped by the transparent monster lurking in the water, like a bee embedded in amber, unable to move at all.

Five flashlight beams shone down at the same time.

The monster in the water was stimulated by the strong light and quickly moved away and floated up at the same time.

The body that emerged from the water was in the shape of a cube, with a side length of about two meters. It was made of transparent colloid, like a huge jelly, with no facial features and internal organs. The left and right sides each extended a colloid tentacle about two meters long.

After a brief shock, Gao Fei suddenly came to his senses.

Open the star disk to check the details of this strange creature.

It turned out that this was a large amphibious mud monster. The name fully reflects its physical characteristics, called "Gel Cube".

The physiological structure of the mud monster is very simple, almost like a single-cell organism. It can only hunt continuously by instinct. When it develops to a certain stage, it will split into two and reproduce by self-division.

The adult "Gel Cube" that attacked Qi Tian has 84 HP, Challenge Level 3, Strength 14, Agility 4, Constitution 20, Intelligence 1, Perception 6, Charisma 1.

In addition to the common characteristics of mud monsters, the gelatinous cube also has 10/slashing damage reduction armor and is immune to electric shock damage.

The transparent body of the gelatinous cube is like a natural camouflage, especially when it hides in clear waters, it is difficult to be discovered.

Prey passing by will be ambushed and entangled by the sticky tentacles extending from the gelatinous cube.

If the prey is small, it will be forcibly wrapped in the body of the gelatinous cube, and suffer 6d6 acid damage per round.
