Chapter 128 The Shadow of Sewer (440, 460 Additional Updates)
"Operation Raccoon?" Ulysses looked at the captain beside him with curiosity. It turned out that this operation had such a special code name.
"Haha, because looking for this monster this time is like looking for those raccoons who always like to steal things. The point is not the monster itself, but how to find it." With Ulysses' joining, the captain's confidence in this mission is already 100%. There is only the question of how to find prey.
In the dark sewer, the sound of human footsteps breaks the silence here, and various creatures living in the sewer escape into their nests, waiting for the threat of the sewer to leave.
For these extremely simple-minded creatures, the human mercenaries who come here from time to time to clear out too many monsters are undoubtedly the strongest foreign enemies here, the kind that is too strong to fight against.
They were born with the garbage generated by human cities, and they were also the things that humans disliked the most at that time. There were many cities who wanted to completely eliminate these low-level monsters, but no matter how thoroughly they were destroyed, they would reproduce again after a while.
The garbage that humans discharge into the sewer is their natural cradle.
However, this time they were not subject to the usual cleaning, and the team's goal was not them, but something stronger that would not waste time on them.
The soft white light illuminates the wet sewers, not only dispelling the darkness, but also brings a warm atmosphere that has never been seen in the sewers.
"Ulysses, this magic is much better than the lighting crystal." The captain looked at the halo with envy, with a total lighting range of ten times that of the ordinary lighting crystal. Why are you afraid of night battles with this?
Moreover, from the beginning, he found that his body was lighter than usual and he walked at least 10% faster, which means that this halo also has other auxiliary abilities.
"Is that so good?" Ulysses used it for the first time, and it seemed to have a good effect. This magic called Star Ring is a large-scale auxiliary magic, gentle and tolerant, and is also the basic technique of a series of powerful starry sky magic.
Even if it is underground, the glory of the stars is shining.
"Can you tell me more about the information about the monster?" On the way back, Ulysses discovered some unusual traces, which gave him more speculation about the true face of the monster.
"Okay." The captain also saw those traces. They didn't seem to be made by low-level monsters like Slime.
No one knows when this monster appeared in the sewer. The first time someone came into contact with this monster was about two months ago. It was a soldier responsible for checking the sewer's smoothness.
The monster attacked him. According to the soldier's memory, he didn't even see what the monster looked like, and was tied up by something like a tentacle, and then instantly lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was already lying in the ditch of the sewer with nothing left and almost drowned.
After that, news of people entering the sewer were attacked one after another, and the victims were all similar. They were attacked by tentacles when they could not react and then fell into a coma.
The highest level is a level 4 swordsman who took over the usual sewer removal task and entered it, but his experience is almost no different from the victims in front of him.
The same sudden attack, the same tentacles entangled. Except for guessing the size of the monster by the size of the tentacles, it can be said that everyone knows nothing about this monster.
Where did it come from, what kind of variety it is, whether it is from the sea or from the sewer, and why did it attack humans but not eat it? Many problems have covered the monster with a deep fog.
Although there have been no casualties so far, this monster of unknown origin has caused extreme panic among people in the city. At present, news about sewer monsters is still in a semi-closed state, but rumors have spread everywhere, such as the rumors that there are tentacles that are tugging intestines in the toilet have been told as true.
This urgent task came into being and was entrusted to the largest mercenary groups in Taji City. Since there were no real casualties, the level was not the highest red, but the bounty was not small, and the three major mercenary groups took on this urgent task.
"I didn't eat people and attacked people at that time, but I let them go after the attack." Ulysses also felt that the monster's movement pattern was very strange.
Generally speaking, most monsters attack people for several reasons. They either want to eat people or simply vent. They can’t figure out what the motive is like when attacking people but letting go of them.
If a level 4 swordsman fainted without even reacting time, it means that the monster is quite fast and his strength may be level 5 or level 6. No wonder the team leader is so cautious.
Along the way, Ulysses noticed many subtle traces on the walls and ceilings, and those traces were unusual.
So, in Ulysses' mind, the image of the monster has undergone a completely new change.
Tentacles, fast, may also carry some toxin, sea snake?
Just as Ulysses was thinking, a trace of abnormal breath caught his attention from the corner covered by the star rings.
"Be careful!" Before Ulysses could finish his words, a tentacle stretched out from the dark corner at the corner, quickly entangling an orc warrior at the end of the team.
The orc warriors have a lot of muscles and are more capable of enduring any attack than humans. They don’t even have the chance to make sounds, and their eyes lose their color and they are instantly dizzy by the tentacle.
"Swish!" A lightsaber shot out from the halo beside Ulysses, accurately cutting off the tentacle.
The cut tentacles were quickly recycled and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Bang!" At this time, the orc warrior's body fell down heavily. The thick black gel suit and gas mask did not play any role, and it was completely vulnerable in front of the quickly stretched out tentacles.
At this time, the team leader had just turned around and saw his fallen team member.
"Damn it! What's going on?" The captain pulled up the fainting team member. In order to fight against the elusive monster, he specially prepared these equipment. Unexpectedly, he suffered a great loss when he first came into contact.
He could have seen the monster at all. If Ulysses hadn't spoken, he might not have even noticed his brother being attacked.
"What, are you here?"
"I didn't see it at all, did you see it?"
"No, it's too fast."
The team members looked at each other. They didn't even know what had happened just now. They only heard Ulysses' "carefulness". Then when they turned around, they only saw the fallen brothers.
"O God of Glory and Kindness, I pray to you here and make a wish to you, please extend your hand. Human blood is blood, flesh is flesh, and bones are bones. Please use your strength to repair them!" When I came to the fallen orc warrior, Ulysses directly used the highest level of healing technique.
Obviously, the team leader didn't know what level of the healing technique Ulysses used now. They just looked nervously at the brother shrouded in white light, waiting for his recovery.
"Huh..." Instead, Ulysses, as a healer, discovered something wrong.
The orc warrior who was attacked by the tentacles did not have any injuries on his body, neither external nor internal injuries, nor any signs of damage to his bones and muscles, just like all the people he knew were attacked by monsters.
However, this does not mean that the monster is very weak. In fact, Ulysses discovered that this is an extremely powerful monster.
Because it uses high-level mental attacks, it instantly shocked the orc warriors whose will is much stronger than humans.
This is the effect of "mind shock", which is a very high-level magic. Moreover, judging from the attack process, the monster launched this attack instantly, shocking the orc warrior.
"He's fine, just go back and sleep." Ulysses stood up. The effect of the soul shock was to directly target the spiritual level, and all the healing he used on the ** is meaningless.
The self-restoration ability of the human mind is very strong, and sleeping is the best way to heal this kind of damage.
However, this does not mean that this attack is weak. In fact, the effect of instant dizziness is extremely terrifying. As long as you think about being attacked, you will be instantly unconscious, and everyone will understand what a fatal threat it is.
Ulysses picked up the half tentacle cut by the Starlight Sword he shot out, and then suddenly stunned.
Because, this is not the slippery and sticky tentacles he imagines, but the soft and emerald green piece.
"Plant?" Ulysses remembered that the feeling of the tentacles he had just seen was not like this. It was a fierce carnivore attacking organ, not the green fragments now.
However, if it is a plant, it is not unreasonable. It can be explained that it is not eaten by people. Many powerful plants have special abilities and were not interested in eating meat at that time.
"Ulysses, have you seen the true face of that thing?" The captain looked at Ulysses with some anxiety. Only Ulysses discovered the attack just now. This was lucky and unfortunate.
Ulysses can see and react, which means he can fight against the monster; and they all do not notice it, and they even react after the attack, which means that they have all been negligent, especially as the leader.
"No, I only saw that tentacle." Ulysses stood at the corner and looked at a hole in the wall that appeared at some point. The monster obviously came out of the hole and launched the attack in the darkness of the corner.
Fast, accurate, kill with one blow, and more importantly, silent, even Ulysses only noticed when it launched an attack.
Such monsters are definitely not opponents in the current Crazy Beast Corps. Ulysses made a calm judgment. It was not that he underestimated these familiar mercenaries, but that such monsters are at a level that they can deal with.
Without him just now, the monster might have knocked all the team out of nowhere. The power of the mind shock is beyond ordinary armor to resist.
However, since he knew the opponent's attack method, Ulysses, as a light magician, did not have a way to deal with it.
"If you have peace of mind, you will be spiritual, and the spiritual light is with us." Ulysses briskly recited the level 6 light magic he learned at the Light Academy, and more than a dozen white light shields appeared on every member of the Orc Squad.
This is the "Shield of Light" among light magic. It has superior defensive capabilities for all types of mental attacks. It is recognized as the strongest defense and auxiliary capabilities of light magic, but it is not just a saying.
"The enemy is not paralyzing toxins and electricity, but mental attacks. Be careful." Ulysses reminded his companions of the attack characteristics of the opponent so that they would not be accidentally caught.
The Shield of Spiritual Light can indeed greatly increase their mental defense. It was definitely not omnipotent at that time. If you can't figure out what attack the other party was using, it would be very dangerous.
"Mind Attack!" As soon as he heard this term, all the faces behind the orc warrior masks became bitter. The powerful orc warriors were never afraid of fighting face to face. Even if there was a dragon on the opposite side, they had the courage to rush forward.
At that time, such invisible and intangible things cost them their lives. It can be said that one of the opponents that orc warriors most reluctant to face was the powerful monster who likes to play with their souls.
Fortunately, this kind of monster is a very rare one among the few, and most people will never encounter it once in their lifetime, so it is not a threat.
Unexpectedly, such a monster appeared in this sewer.
"Don't worry so much. This kind of attack seems to be carried out through that kind of tentacle. The attack speed of that kind of tentacle is not very fast, but you need to be careful of sneak attacks... and the light shield I gave you can defend against their spiritual attacks." Ulysses cheered everyone up.
"Yes, everyone keep the circular formation forward and don't give the tentacles a chance to attack. There are so many of us, so you don't have to be afraid as long as you keep your energy focused." The captain trusted Ulysses' judgment very much. After all, he was the only one who discovered the opponent's attack.
"Well, that's it...ah..." Ulysses was stunned for a moment and looked at the dark corner again.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could feel that from the dark hole at that corner, several auras that were similar to those just now were jumping out together.
That's right, it's the kind of monster just now.
"They are here, ready to fight." Just glanced at Ulysses' expression, the captain judged the situation and issued a battle order.
"Come on, monster!"
"Just wait for you!"
"We are going to avenge our dead brothers!"
"The iron blood is still there!"
The orc warriors were excited and picked up their weapons and entered a state of excitement.
Silently, the mysterious thing finally appeared in front of everyone.
It is not a slime or a sea snake. If you can barely describe it, it is a bit like a skinned frog. There are three of them in total, and their bodies emit a blue luster. A slender tongue sticks out from their mouths, constantly twisting like a snake.
One of them has a missing part of the tongue. It is obvious that this soft tongue is the true face of the "tenta" and is also the culprit for the shock of the soul.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At the moment when these three blue-skinned monsters appeared, several walls suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the entire underground channel.
To be continued...
