Chapter 531: Murder from the Sky
Deep in the flooded tunnel, the bullfish had killed the mutant catfish and was enjoying its meal with its sharp teeth biting its prey.
It didn't seem to care about the SWAT on the nearby motorboat.
"The bullfish is a neutral creature. When it is not short of food, it will not attack unless we show strong hostility."
Jiang Feng lowered his voice to explain to Gu Siyi.
"Guys, there is something I want to ask for your help!"
Qi Tian rubbed his hands excitedly.
Jiang Feng glanced at him and smiled: "You scumbag, what do you want to do? Needless to say, we can guess it."
The challenge level of the bullfish is level 5.
Qi Tian's main secondary occupation "tamer" is also level 5, which happens to be able to tame the bullfish as his animal companion.
"No... Sister Feng! The mutant octopus and flying shark I subdued before are dead, but I'm single now!" Qi Tian defended himself aggrievedly, "It's reasonable for a widower to remarry, how can you say I'm a scumbag?"
"Brother Tian, you should at least mourn for three years." Ma Yun also teased with a smile, "Or write a eulogy, such as 'Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles, and all other clouds are but clouds'."
"Please! I just want to be an honest and decent animal trainer, don't push me towards the direction of a perverted Fury control!"
Qi Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The bull fish seemed to hear his complaints, raised his head and glanced at him, as if complaining: This guy doesn't seem very smart.
Gao Fei smiled, turned to Li Jiajia and said, "Jiajia, in this situation, let's sing a song "Big Fish and Begonia" together, isn't it appropriate?"
"Brother Fei, you sing very well, you are not allowed to sing it in the future, I'll do it myself."
As a professional in the field of music, Li Jiajia implicitly evaluated Gao Fei's voice, picked up the amplified harmonica, and played "Ecstasy".
Ma Tao walked up to Qi Tian and blessed him with "Owl's Wisdom", temporarily increasing his perception attribute by 4 points.
When a trainer tries to tame an animal companion, he needs to make a "taming" skill check to resist the opponent's will immunity.
If the check succeeds, he can tame it.
If the check fails, he will anger the opponent and be attacked.
The will immunity of the bull fish is about 15 points.
Including the enhancement of "Owl's Wisdom", Qi Tian's current perception attribute is 24, corrected by +7.
The tamer has the professional ability "Wild Identity", which gives him an advantage in taming checks and counts as a double proficiency modifier. For Qi Tian, it is +6.
A simple calculation shows that unless Qi Tian rolls a 1-point big failure in both test dice, he will definitely be able to tame the bullfish.
The probability of a big failure in both dice is only 0.25%.
Normal people cannot get such a magical result.
However, considering that Qi Tian has always been possessed by bad luck, he must be on guard. Gao Fei specifically told Ma Yun to prepare a "Colorful Spray".
In case Qi Tian fails to tame the beast, cast a spell on the bullfish immediately.
If he can cause a round of shock to the bullfish before it reacts, Qi Tian will have a chance to reroll and make amends.
Fortunately, Qi Tian's luck today is not particularly bad.
He passed the taming test smoothly and successfully subdued the bullfish.
During the four days of duty, the group encountered various water monsters.
Among all these water monsters, the bullfish's combat power can be ranked second, second only to the mutant pistol shrimp.
Qi Tian was very satisfied with his new love. He rode on the bullfish's back for a while, then returned to the motorboat alone and controlled the bullfish to explore the way ahead.
The crabs and mutant octopuses encountered on the way were overturned by the bullfish before the special police could take action, just like a car thief.
In the middle of the tunnel, the accumulated water became deeper.
The distance between the water surface and the ceiling of the tunnel was less than two meters, like a culvert.
At this time, Ma Yun suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
She turned the flashlight to the maximum brightness and shone it on the top of her head.
Gao Fei followed the beam of light and looked up.
He saw a bat hanging upside down on the ceiling of the tunnel.
At first, he thought it was nothing special, but after Xiao Ma reminded him and carefully examined it, he was surprised to find that the bat had died long ago, and only the broken fur was hanging on his head.
Gao Fei quickly raised his flashlight and scanned the ceiling above his head.
As expected, such bat remains can be seen everywhere.
"Since entering the tunnel, I have felt strange." Ma Yun said to himself, "How could there not be even one bat in such an environment that is most suitable for bats to live? Now it seems that the bats that originally lived in the tunnel may have been killed."
"Then the question is, water monsters usually don't climb walls, let alone chase flying bats. What kind of monster killed the bats?"
Ma Yun scratched his head in confusion.
"In short, everyone should be more careful." Jiang Feng reminded his companions, "Creatures that can prey on bats may not necessarily come from the water."
Gao Fei suddenly shuddered and felt a sense of discomfort that seemed familiar.
He calmed down and tried to recall this uncomfortable sense of déjà vu.
It seems that he has had a similar experience in the game.
That's right!
Gao Fei remembered it.
It was in the chapter of Rest Island in the Berserker module "Prince's Revenge".
He and his companions were commissioned by the dwarf uncle to explore the desert caves. When they were followed by the green-footed dragon snake on the way, he also had this feeling of being secretly watched.
Gao Fei opened the star chart and checked his status bar, and his heart suddenly shuddered!
He didn't know when he had been marked with the "Hunter's Mark".
A drop of cold liquid fell on Hao Le's forehead.
He wiped it casually, and his fingertips were sticky.
"What is it?"
Hao Le muttered and raised the flashlight to illuminate the ceiling dripping with mucus.
The moment he looked up, his eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Wow——"
Almost at the same time, a python-like black monster fell from the sky and landed on him.
Gao Fei heard Hao Le's exclamation and turned around to look.
With the help of the flashlight, he saw a soft-bodied monster more than two meters long, resembling a large slug, with a head split into four petals, extending into willow-shaped tentacles, surrounding a pink cavity for eating.
This disgusting monster covered Hao Le's head and held his head in its mouth, swallowing Hao Le whole, section by section, like swallowing a sausage.
"Alcar!"
Ma Yun was the first to react, and fired a "colorful jet" at it, successfully shocking the monster that was swallowing Hao Le.
Huang Hansheng and Wang Daqing, who were riding on a motorboat with Hao Le, also came to their senses at this time, and rushed to Hao Le, who had been swallowed by the monster above the chest, and grabbed one of the legs of the unfortunate child, and dragged him out of the monster's throat inch by inch.
