Chapter 862: One-horned rabbit
Goofy looked back and saw a chubby gray rabbit squatting beside the campfire, picking up the crumbs of cakes that had fallen on the ground.
After taking a closer look, Gao Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
This rabbit has a single pearl-colored horn on its forehead, about a foot long, with a texture like ivory. There are three symmetrically arranged vertical stripes from the tip to the root, and the structure is similar to the blood groove of a bayonet.
Based on this detail, it is easy to see that this horn is by no means a decoration, but a real weapon for killing enemies.
"What a cute little rabbit!" Ma Yun's eyes lit up.
"Yeah! It's quite cute and looks delicious."
Jiang Feng looked at the one-horned rabbit up and down with the eyes of a gourmet.
"Sister Feng! The rabbit is so cute, how can you bear to eat it!"
"What else? This guy came to our door to give us extra meals. He's already here, why are you so polite?" Jiang Feng turned to look at his boyfriend, with a narrow smile on his lips, "Chef Gao, don't you like the roast rabbit?" Medium? Add more cumin and chili powder.”
"No! No!"
Ma Yun was so anxious that she reached out and wanted to pick up the weird rabbit with horns on its head to protect it from the vicious hands of the foodie heroine.
"Don't touch it!" Tangning grabbed Ma Yun, her expression extremely serious, "That one-horned rabbit is more dangerous than it looks. If you are stabbed by its horn, the consequences will be very serious!"
Jiang Feng was about to pull the rabbit's ears, but after hearing Tangning's words, he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hands, his face full of caution.
"Sister Tang, is this mutated rabbit very ferocious?" Gao Fei asked.
"The One-Horned Rabbit is more docile than ordinary rabbits and is not very afraid of people, but its horns are very dangerous, equivalent to an enchanted piercing weapon. The stabbed creature will suffer 1 Dexterity point each round unless it passes a Fortitude save. When the damage and agility attributes drop to 0, the injured person will turn into a stone statue."
After hearing Tang Ning's explanation, Gao Fei became more and more curious. He opened the astrolabe and investigated the One-Horned Rabbit.
There is an illustration in the database, and its full name is "Down's Unicorn Rabbit".
No wonder Tangning knew this mutant creature very well. It turned out that the one-horned rabbit was the one she first discovered on Irian Island, and she even named it after her own surname.
The Unicorn Rabbit is a small magical beast with 16 health points. Its attributes are: Strength 6, Agility 17, Constitution 14, Intelligence 3, Perception 14, and Charisma 10.
In addition to the talents that ordinary rabbits have, such as "Sensitive Smell", "Dexterous Movements" and "Mastery of Jumping", the Unicorn Rabbit also masters "Weapon Proficiency" and "Ability Focus (Petrification)".
As Tangning introduced just now, the sharp horn on the forehead of the one-horned rabbit is equivalent to a +1 enchanted natural weapon, with a basic damage die of 2d4.
The most powerful thing about this devil horn is that it can secrete toxins that turn flesh and blood to stone.
Counting the additional bonus provided by "Ability Focus (Petrification)", the creature stung by it must pass a DC16 Fortitude save to resist the poison, otherwise the body will gradually become stiff until it is petrified.
Creatures stabbed by the one-horned rabbit can still recover by being treated with "first aid", "air therapy", "secondary restoration" and other detoxifying methods before they are completely petrified.
Once the toxicity is fully activated, the agility attribute returns to zero, and the body turns into a stone statue, the above methods will be too late to cure it. You must use special methods to remove petrification, such as "breaking the barrier", "fossils into flesh" or "ruby reverse ray". Return to flesh and blood.
Even though he knew that the one-horned rabbit was dangerous, Xiao Ma was still reluctant to kill this docile and well-behaved little animal. He broke the remaining half of the sago cake into pieces and fed it to the one-horned rabbit.
Ma Tao held a cigarette in his mouth and squinted at the gray rabbit with its first horns. Suddenly, he suddenly had a whim: "If we cut off the horns of the one-horned rabbit, wouldn't we get a very powerful petrified dagger?"
"I've tried it. Unfortunately, such a good thing doesn't exist." Tangning shook her head slightly. "When the horned rabbit's horn is separated from the body, it will lose its petrification function and is only equivalent to a refined dagger."
"The refined dagger is not bad." Ma Tao blew out a smoke ring and said calmly: "Considering the collection value, it is at least more valuable than ivory handicrafts. Rare things are more valuable."
Ma Yun wanted to persuade her brother not to be so cruel, but was worried about being laughed at and contracted the "Marine disease", so she secretly winked at the one-horned rabbit, hinting that it should run away.
The one-horned rabbit was quite clever, and after understanding the hard work of his classmate Pony Ma, he immediately burrowed into the bushes and ran away without a trace.
Ma Yun looked at her teammates sitting around the campfire and found that no one got up to chase the unicorn rabbit, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Fei saw Xiao Ma's worried look, he must have taken everyone's gossip seriously, and couldn't help but feel funny secretly.
Not long after the one-horned rabbit escaped, the night wind brought an unusually strong fragrance of flowers.
Gao Fei smelled the fragrance of flowers and felt inexplicably in a trance. He quickly covered his nose and felt alert.
Turning around, he saw the companions beside him with different expressions.
Jiang Feng, Ma Tao, Tang Ning and Pep also covered their noses with vigilance in their eyes.
Ma Yun and Qi Tian, the weaker ones in the team, looked a little dull. They stood up and walked towards the direction where the fragrance of flowers was coming.
Wang Daqing was the only one who was completely unaffected by the fragrance of flowers. He realized that Ma Yun and Qi Tian were distracted and acting abnormally, so he quickly stopped them.
"Xiaoyun! Xiaotian! What's going on with you two? It seems like you are sleepwalking. It's okay, right?"
The two of them were pushed and yelled by him, and they suddenly woke up. Their faces were at a loss, as if they didn't remember what happened just now.
At this time, Tang Ning's singing sounded in everyone's ears.
The magic power contained in "Soothing Song" is like a cool stream of water, cleansing the body and mind through the ear holes, making everyone's drowsy brains instantly wake up.
"The fragrance of flowers wafting in the wind seems to have a hypnotic effect. It is probably emitted by some kind of mutated plant." Gao Fei guessed.
"I have stayed overnight on this island no less than ten times. The last time was two months ago. This was the first time I encountered such a strange thing."
Pep's face looked ugly.
He always felt that this small island in the middle of the river was safe, so he brought his teammates to camp. Unexpectedly, the island was not peaceful either.
First he met the Unicorn Rabbit, and now he was almost hypnotized by the mysterious fragrance of flowers. The accidents happened one after another, which only showed that he was an incompetent guide, and he felt deeply guilty for this.
"Two months is neither long nor short. During this period, there was a silver flash. It is not surprising that mutated creatures appeared on the island."
Gao Fei comforted Pep and then said to his teammates:
"Hunting wild mutant creatures is not within the scope of our mission on this trip, but since we have encountered them and it was the other party who made the first move, we cannot treat them as if nothing happened."
"Sister Tang, Brother Pep, and Comrade Xiao Jiang, let's follow the direction in which the fragrance of flowers comes from to see what kind of monster is causing trouble in the dark. The others will stay at the camp to avoid being stolen by monsters."
