Chapter 997 Fabian's Blessing
The acid of the digger worms is very precious. After a round of spraying, it takes at least half a minute to brew again, so that the acid in the stomach can be regurgitated into the mouth to prepare for the next spray.
Taking advantage of this window period, everyone immediately launched a counterattack.
"Vanima!"
Xiao Ma stood up from the bushes, chanted the spell while shaking his robe, activating the 3-ring magic "hypnotic pattern" that comes with the rainbow robe.
A group of colorful disc-shaped light balls appeared out of thin air above the digger worm gathering area, circling and dancing in the air, emitting a dazzling strong light.
The digger worms' will resistance is not high. The moment they saw the colorful pattern, they were collectively hit and became lost.
The mechanical dog Toto followed the mistress closely, followed the mental instructions issued by Ma Yun, and sprayed a "fireball" towards the area with the most dense insect swarms.
Tin Man Nick had been observing in secret for a long time, found the best angle, raised his hand and blasted out "Lightning Beam".
A bright electric light crossed the battlefield and pierced through four digging worms in one breath, like a candied haws.
Jiang Feng stood on the tree, looking down and released "Flame Strike", submerging three digging worms in golden red flames, burning them to charcoal on the spot.
Gao Fei was not idle either, "Scorching Ray" three consecutive attacks, combined with the sneak attack special effect enhanced by "Seeing Through the Vital Gate", killed three digging worms on the spot.
After a round of surprise attacks, six digging worms were killed instantly, and three were injured by fireballs and lightning. Only one was lucky enough to avoid all attacks and turned around to flee to a nearby cave.
"Cowardly reptile! Come here!"
Lion Dimitri, timely launched the "Warrior" signature skill "Taunt", forcing the digging worm to give up the idea of escaping and turn around to fight him.
The result is predictable. It was bitten to pieces by the lion before it could last more than two rounds, and its body was still twitching unconsciously.
After the battle started, the frightened digging worms automatically got rid of the state of fascination.
In this case, it was meaningless to spend concentration and continue to maintain the "hypnotic pattern".
Ma Yun decisively canceled the "hypnotic pattern" and instead used the casting concentration to maintain the 4-ring "fire wall spell", stretching a circle of blazing flames close to the ground, and encircling the remaining three digging worms inside the fire wall.
The three digging worms all rushed out against the fire wall.
Two of them fell on the way to escape, and only one was lucky enough to break through the fire wall and burrow back into the cave.
"This is trouble!" Tin Man Nick stamped his feet anxiously, "The digging worm has already drilled into the cave. It will be difficult to pull it out."
"What's so difficult about this?" Gao Fei put the pistol back into his waist and smiled faintly, "There is a member in our adventure team who is suitable for drilling into the cave to catch worms."
Ma Yun heard his intention and turned to gesture to the sand golem.
The sand golem nodded gently, and its burly body turned into quicksand and flowed along the ground.
Under the gaze of everyone, the activated quicksand flowed into the cave where the digging worm was hiding like a golden stream.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and waited patiently.
After about five minutes, there was a sudden tremor at the entrance of the cave.
The digging worm that had escaped earlier drilled out in a panic. When it reached the flat ground, it curled up in pain before everyone could do anything.
Gao Fei took a closer look and found that the activated quicksand had attached to the digging worm, blocking the pores on which it relied for breathing.
The worm couldn't breathe, no wonder it looked so painful.
The tin man carried a battle axe and strode to the worm. He swung the axe with all his might, chopped off its head, and ended its dying struggle in advance.
After the battle, Ma Yun reminded his companions to collect the bodies of the ten worms.
This was not only to report to Fabian, but also to collect some spoils.
There were only some leftover beast corpses and bone fragments in the worm's nest, nothing valuable.
In fact, the most valuable thing on the worm is the hard shell.
This chitin exoskeleton can be processed into armor and shields, with better defense performance than steel products, rust resistance, and only 1/4 of the weight of steel armor of the same level.
The complete shell is peeled off from the worm and used to make a full body armor. The wearer gets a defense bonus of +9, the same as steel plate armor, but the weight of the worm shell is only equivalent to a set of leather armor, which has less restrictions on the wearer's flexibility.
From the data, the upper limit of the agility correction of steel plate armor is only +1.
That is to say, no matter how high the wearer's agility attribute is, after wearing the plate armor, he can only get +1 agility correction in dodge at most, and higher agility attributes cannot be reflected, which is equivalent to waste.
On the contrary, wearing plate armor made of burrowing beetle shells, the upper limit of agility correction is +4. As long as the wearer's agility attribute does not exceed 18 points, the flexibility will not be restricted.
Most of the shells of burrowing beetles are burned by flames and pierced by lightning in battle, and have lost their use value.
Ma Yun finally peeled off two complete sets of insect shells and planned to make a breastplate and a shield.
The insect shell breastplate was worn by the lion, and the shield was given to the iron man to improve their defense.
As soon as everyone cleaned up the battlefield, "Tree Dragon" Fabian teleported back to congratulate them on passing the test.
According to the agreement, Fabian performed the "wood escape technique" and teleported Gao Fei and others directly to the foot of the mountain on the southern edge of the maze forest a hundred miles away.
This towering hill is the habitat of the flying dragons.
Before parting, Fabian gave Ma Yun a spell scroll and also sent blessings to everyone.
Similar to Qiyun A Ling, the blessing of the tree dragon also has supernatural power and can provide a kind of "protective spell" for the blessed.
Gao Fei opened the star disk with curiosity and checked the status bar, and found that there was an additional buff called "Anti-poison Protection Spell".
…
Anti-poison protection spell: the person protected by this protection spell has an advantage in the toughness immunity against poison, and the poison damage is halved.
…
Obviously, this protection spell is specially used to fight against the flying dragon clan. After all, the most powerful weapon of the flying dragon is the sharp poison hook on the tail.
In addition, there is another detail that surprised Gao Fei.
The "Anti-poison Protection Spell" that Fabian applied to him can last until the end of the entire module!
This is the tenth chapter of the wizard module "The Wizard of Oz", and there are two more chapters to come.
Under normal circumstances, the protection spell can only be used 3 times, or until the end of the current chapter.
The abnormally long duration of the "Anti-Poison Spell" is of course a benefit for players, but from the perspective of the creator, is this design intentional?
If the answer is yes, then Gao Fei can easily draw a conclusion: in the subsequent chapters, he may encounter enemies who are good at using poison, or traps full of toxins!
Only under this premise, the "Anti-Poison Spell" has the value of continuing to exist.
