Chapter 945: Carnivorous Crystal Cluster

There was also a barrel of alchemical gunpowder used for mining in the warehouse. It had been stored here for more than two months. Gao Fei opened the lid of the barrel and saw that the gunpowder had been damp and was difficult to ignite.

It was a pity to leave this barrel of damp gunpowder behind. After a little thought, he turned around and asked Jiang Feng: "Your 'water-making technique' can be reversed into 'dry water technique'. Can it be used to remove moisture from the gunpowder?"

"It's hard to say, you can try it."

Jiang Feng waved his hand, signaling Gao Fei and Martin to stay away, so as not to accidentally injure them if the gunpowder exploded.

The three retreated to a safe area 30 meters away, and Jiang Feng cast the "dry water technique" on the gunpowder barrel with the lid open.

The gunpowder barrel sizzled, and a turbid water vapor rose up.

Fortunately, there was no explosion.

Jiang Feng walked lightly, returned to the gunpowder barrel, picked up some powder with a dagger, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Gao Fei followed up, using a thin wooden stick to stick vertically into the bottom of the gunpowder barrel, and then pulled it out to check the yellowish gunpowder powder attached to the end of the stick. He twisted it with his fingers and still felt a little damp.

"That's it." Jiang Feng said to her boyfriend, "I'm worried that the gunpowder will explode if I use another 'dry water technique'."

Gao Fei covered the gunpowder barrel, sealed it carefully, put the whole barrel into the star plate, and said to his girlfriend with a smile: "I now understand Ma Yun's happiness a little bit. Picking up junk is really fun."

"I also had similar happiness when I successfully cut a knife on Pinduoduo! It's getting late, let's go!"

Jiang Feng said happily, holding her boyfriend's arm.

At this time, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the warehouse door, followed by Martin's urgent shouts and the barking of hounds.

"Rogge! Miss Quinn! Come and help save people!"

Save people?

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng's faces suddenly changed, and they hurried to Martin's side.

Martin's hunting rifle, which was slung over his back, was blessed with "light magic" to guide the two in the dark.

He hurried to Martin's side and took a look. The scene in front of him was both terrifying and weird, which made Gao Fei's scalp numb.

There was a magic crystal vein to be mined nearby. Large pieces of ore were inlaid on the rough rock wall, reflecting a dark blue glow under the light.

The gangster who led them had half of his body stuck in the ore, with only his right hand and right foot exposed outside the stone wall.

Martin struggled to grab his right arm, with sweat all over his forehead, and the hound bit his right foot and dragged it out.

They had tried their best, but still couldn't pull out the gangster who was inexplicably stuck in the vein.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng hurried forward to help.

The three men and the dog used all their strength, and heard a click. Their hands felt light, and under the influence of inertia, they flew backwards involuntarily, fell to the ground one after another, and fell into the mud, looking very embarrassed.

Gao Fei hurriedly stood up, turned his head and looked, and was immediately horrified!

The gang member who was trapped in the stone wall, one arm and one leg fell to the ground, the cross section was as smooth as a knife, and most of the rest of the torso was swallowed by the dark blue ore.

What was even more incredible was that there was not a drop of blood from the wound, and the cross section of the fracture showed a crystal texture.

"Gods, what the hell is going on?"

Martin sat on the ground, pale, eyes wide open, muttering to himself.

Jiang Feng stood up with the help of Gao Fei, looked at the stone wall that swallowed the living, and his eyes also revealed the fear from the heart.

Under the astonished gaze of the three people, the man-eating ore actually broke away from the rock wall and moved.

It looked like an activated construct made of a large pile of magic crystal ore, with dark blue crystals protruding from its surface.

With a cracking sound, two crystal tentacles like thick scorpion tails extended from the monster and grabbed the arms and legs that fell to the ground.

Then, a crack appeared on the activated ore, like a huge mouth, swallowing the picked up arms and legs, and slowly closing.

In front of Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin, this mysterious monster swallowed their guide alive, and its mountain-like body seemed to have grown a circle.

Gao Fei was the first to come to his senses and opened the star disk to detect the monster in front of him.

The result was somewhat unexpected.

This monster called "Carnivorous Crystal Cluster" is not a construct like activated ore, but a distant relative of the black pudding monster, a mud monster with the bloodline of the earth element subspecies.

Carnivorous Crystal Cluster is native to the earth element plane, and can simulate the shape of nearby ore by changing the color and texture of the body surface.

For example, this carnivorous crystal cluster lurking deep in the magic crystal mine used its mimicry to disguise itself as a pile of magic crystal ore. When it was still, it was indistinguishable from the real thing.

The gangsters who led Gao Fei and others failed to see through the disguise of the carnivorous crystal cluster. When they passed by it, they were attacked and swallowed alive.

The carnivorous crystal cluster has a very terrifying ability to quickly transform the organic matter swallowed into mineral crystals, turning the flesh and blood of the prey into part of itself.

As its name suggests, the carnivorous crystal cluster has an insatiable greed for flesh and blood. The more living things it eats, the bigger its body will expand. When it grows to a certain extent, it will split in half like the black pudding monster and proliferate a new individual.

As a mud monster, the carnivorous crystal cluster looks smaller than the black pudding monster, but it is more dangerous than the latter, with a challenge level of 9.

The hard mineral armor is equivalent to the 12th level of natural defense plus 10/blunt damage reduction armor.

Two sharp crystals touch the wrist, with its own "sharp edge" special effect, which can cause slashing and puncture damage at the same time, with a critical hit rate as high as 20%!

The carnivorous crystal cluster in front of Gao Fei and others has reached a mature stage, with HP as high as 216, and its attributes are also exaggerated: Strength 27, Agility 5, Constitution 22, Intelligence 2, Perception 16, Charisma 12!

The only shortcoming of this monster is its agility attribute. Logically speaking, "flying a kite" is the best tactic to deal with it. However, everyone is in a small underground mine and there is no ample space to pull around. They must either fight head-on or retreat along the same route.

Carnivore Crystal Clusters are naturally resistant to magic, immune to cold and electric shock damage, and have 20 points of fire resistance. Their only weakness is that they are vulnerable to sonic damage.

Unfortunately, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin are not good at sonic magic such as "Thunder Wave", and even if they know its weakness, they cannot target it.

Carnivorous Crystal Cluster has mastered the specialties of "Strong", "Powerful Attack", "Brutal Strike" and "Multiple Attack", and combined with super high strength and armor, it is like a meat grinder.

On Goofy's side, the configuration of two thieves and a ranger, not even a MT that can carry the tower shield, fighting with flesh-eating crystal clusters... is probably not a good idea.
