Chapter 948 Split

However, this was in vain.

With Cody's pitiful strength, he could not destroy the mineral body of the meat crystal cluster, which was comparable to the armor of a tank.

The sound of metal clashing in the stomach soon disappeared.

At the same time, the two gang members trapped in the spider web were also shot and killed by Martin and Jiang Feng, and fell in a pool of blood.

The meat crystal cluster swallowed Cody, but was not satisfied, and crawled towards the two still warm bodies.

At this time, a rifle bullet whistled and hit the meat crystal cluster. The power was surprisingly great, and it actually penetrated its mineral armor.

The meat crystal cluster seemed to be angered by this cold shot. It turned around on the spot, facing Hawkeye Hawke who was running over with a gun, waving its tentacles and taking an attacking posture.

Hawke hurriedly ran out of the shelter, originally intending to rescue his partner Cody who was swallowed alive by the monster. However, the shot he fired with all his strength hit the carnivorous crystal cluster, but failed to knock it down as he wished. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just as he was nervous, a cracking sound suddenly came from the carnivorous crystal cluster.

A crack extended from the center of the monster's body to the upper and lower ends, and it was completely split in half in an instant.

A humanoid object fell from the cracked body of the carnivorous crystal cluster, holding a pair of shining rapiers in both hands. It was "Black Hand" Cody.

To be precise, it was Cody's fossilized body.

The flesh and bones all turned into hard crystals.

Hawke saw this scene and knew that Cody was no longer saveable.

What frightened him even more was that the carnivorous crystal cluster that split into two halves actually moved again, stretched out four new pseudo-legs and two new tentacles, and turned into two slightly smaller carnivorous crystal clusters.

It turned out that after the monster had eaten a lot of flesh and blood, it had accumulated enough nutrients to split and multiply new individuals.

After the split, the two small carnivorous crystal clusters evenly divided the remaining life value of the mother body, and the strength and constitution attributes were also reduced by two points. The challenge level degenerated from level 9 to level 7, but the two together were still more difficult to deal with than one mother body.

Hawke's profession was "magic shooter". Long-range sniping was his forte, but close combat was not his forte. He was not sure of winning against a carnivorous crystal cluster, let alone fighting one against two.

"Hawkeye" Hawke's eyes had lost their usual calmness. He hurriedly ran to the mine tunnel far away from the carnivorous crystal cluster, casting spells while running, intending to eliminate the smell on his body and the noise made when running, so as to get rid of the pursuit of the carnivorous crystal cluster.

Before the casting process was completed, Hawke was horrified to find that the 1-ring magic "No trace" had mysteriously disappeared from his spell list.

…

Gao Fei remained invisible, hanging upside down on the dome of the mine, overlooking the panicked figure of Hawke, and remotely controlled the "Mage's Hand" to steal spells from him.

Hawk's spell list is as follows:

Ring 0 - Dancing Lights, Teleportation;

Ring 1 - Traceless, Weakening Ray;

Ring 2 - Darkness, Devil's Eye.

Gao Fei first stole three spells from him: 1-Ring "Traceless", 2-Ring "Darkness" and "Devil's Eye".

Among these three spells, Gao Fei only kept "Darkness" and replaced "Attribute Enhancement" in his spell list.

"Attribute Enhancement" is of course good, but Jiang Feng also has the same spell. The two always act together. If necessary, Gao Fei will "Attribute Enhancement" can be copied back from Jiang Feng at any time.

…

2nd level "Darkness" (Evocation): Touch a target, and generate a dark area with a radius of 20 feet around it, which lasts for 10 minutes/casting level.

The dark area moves with the recipient and cannot be penetrated by natural light.

Dark vision also cannot work in the dark area created by magic.

2nd level or higher illumination magic, such as 3rd level "Daylight", can dispel "Darkness".

…

"Darkness" is a control magic with an awkward positioning.

If the caster does not have the vision to see through the magic darkness, such as "Devil's Eye", his vision will also be blocked.

High Flying Place He gave up the attribute enhancement and replaced it with "Darkness" because his "Spell Thief" professional level in reality was higher than in the game.

He knew that when the "Spell Thief" reached level 9, he would automatically learn "Darkness Penetration" which was similar to "Devil's Eye", and his vision would not be blocked by any magic or supernatural darkness.

With "Darkness Penetration" and "Darkness", he could gain a unilateral vision advantage, and thus extend a set of tactics similar to "Mist Spell" + "Mist Vision".

On the other side, Hawke, who found that his spell was stolen, was frightened and hurriedly took out a scroll.

Gao Fei saw that he wanted to cast the teleportation magic, and quickly shot, trying to Interrupt his concentration on casting spells.

However, Hawke seems to have a role in the subsequent chapters and is destined not to die here.

The bullets fired from the pistol were forced to deviate from the target by the system, and Gao Fei could only watch Hawke disappear in a beam of teleportation light.

Except for Hawke, the gangsters have been completely wiped out.

The only enemies in the mine pit are two meat-eating crystal clusters with low health.

Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin, plus the hound "Landlord" who has recovered from his injury, can now deal with these two monsters without interference.

It took another ten minutes for everyone to finally knock down the two meat-eating crystal clusters and break them into unevenly sized ores.

After a series of hard battles, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, who were already exhausted, received system prompts at the same time:

"You have reached the main storyline milestone of this chapter, Star Chart Energy +1!"

Gao Fei's "Spell Thief" is upgraded to level 9, HP +7 (66), proficiency modifier +1 (4), sneak attack damage dice increased to 5d6, and spell stealing slot +1.

From level 9, the vision of the "Spell Thief" is further enhanced, from "Dark Vision" to "Devil's Eye", and the vision is not affected in the dark environment created by magic.

With the "Devil's Eye", Gao Fei can play more tricks with the 2-ring "Darkness" stolen from "Hawkeye Hawk".

For example, add "Darkness" to his weapon, open a spherical dark space with a radius of 20 feet with himself as the center, and the creatures trapped in the darkness are equivalent to blindness.

Gao Fei's own vision can penetrate the dark barrier and attack the enemy who has lost vision, which is counted as a sneak attack special effect.

There are even more clever (vulgar) ways to play, such as adding "darkness" to bullets and shooting them at enemies. Unless they try to dig out the bullets in their bodies, they will not be able to escape the dark barrier that blinds them.

From this perspective, the technique of applying "darkness" in actual combat is similar to "silence".

In fact, Gao Fei can also add these two spells to the same bullet. After hitting the target, it will be shrouded in the double barrier of "darkness" and "silence" at the same time, which is equivalent to becoming blind and deaf, and can only let himself be slaughtered.
