Chapter 764: Hidden Strength
When Jeffrey saw that the arrow was invalid, he immediately threw away the crossbow in his hand, pulled out the two daggers from his waist, and prepared for the battle.
Jeffrey is not a rookie who has experienced battles, but facing this unknown monster, he still feels nervous.
At this moment, a small ice-blue spider rushed over from the side and hit the monster's body. The small ice-blue spider exploded instantly, and the explosive ice power frozen the monster's body.
Although the monster's body was frozen, cracks appeared quickly on the surface of the ice, which obviously could not be frozen for too long. The monster's power was violently spreading the ice.
Before the monster could open the ice, a fireball was already hitting the monster's head. With a bang, the monster was knocked out by the fireball. The head was covered with blood, and even the skull was exposed. However, the monster's vitality was very tenacious. Even such a serious injury could not cause fatal injuries to him.
Alvin was not surprised by this, because the arrows Geoffrey fired could not harm the monsters before. If the monsters were so easy to kill, there would not be so many battles in the ruins.
However, this monster can only cause some trouble for Alvin when attacking. In frontal battle, Alvin has too many ways to deal with it.
Alvin also chose the simplest way, directly wielding an elemental sword blade, slashed it with one sword, and slashed the monster's head down.
The power of the elemental sword blade did not disappoint Alvin, and it was indeed a sword that worked together.
Jeffrey looked at Alvin with surprise and retracted his magic. He had a deep understanding of the power of this monster, but now he was easily killed by Alvin. Alvin's strength became unfathomable in his eyes.
However, no matter what, Alvin is saving him.
Just now, Jeffrey also reminded Alvin. If it weren't for Jeffrey's reminder, Alvin would definitely be attacked and injured by a lurking monster. After all, the monster is still extremely powerful. Although it is not considered a life-saving favor, Alvin's impression of Jeffrey has also improved a little.
Alvin didn't say much, immediately walked to the monster's side, squatted down, and checked the monster's body.
The monster in front of him was a human-shaped monster with a human appearance, but the muscles on his body were grayish-white, and there were white scales. The powerful defense was the layer of white scales on his body.
The monster is quite strong, but it is not more than two meters. It looks like 1.9 meters tall and the muscles on its body are also very strong.
The monster also has a pair of sharp claws, which has a strange place. His claws are very similar to human palms. However, the place where they were originally nails turned into animal claws. The claws are extremely sharp and can easily tear open the iron armor. It would be even easier to tear open the flesh and blood of human bodies.
There is no nose on the monster's face. There are two small holes in the nose. The mouth is relatively large, the corners of the mouth are about to break to the ear, and the teeth in the mouth are as sharp as the tip of the knife.
There is another striking point, which is that the ears are relatively large, twice as big as those of normal humans.
Alvin just glanced at the monster and stopped paying attention to the appearance of the monster. Alvin cared more about the structure inside the monster's body and the power they had.
Although the monster is dead, the power in the body will not disappear in an instant, but will follow the death of the creature, and the power in the body will be lost at an accelerated speed. In just a few hours, all the energy will disappear quickly.
Now, the energy in the monster's body still exists, and Alvin can also check it.
However, Alvin knew that his movements would be faster, because Alvin could feel that the energy in the monster's body was being lost at an accelerated speed, and it would be completely lost in just a few minutes.
Alvin quickly checked the monster's corpse. It was not until five minutes later that there was no energy in the monster's body that Alvin took back his hand.
After retracting his hand, Alvin's brows frowned tightly.
If Alvin read it correctly, there was a dark force flowing in the monster's body.
But this dark power is different from all the dark powers that Alvin has contacted before.
If we want to give it a definition, Alvin thinks that this can be considered a variant of dark power, or it can be said to be a change.
Some thoughts changed into Alvin's mind, but there is still a lack of evidence and it is still impossible to judge whether his guess is correct.
After checking the corpse of this monster, Alvin has learned more about this monster.
This kind of monster has a strong body and defense, and is difficult to be killed. It masters the power of darkness, can lurk, and has unknown attack ability.
After examination, the monster's eyes can be confirmed to be weak, but it has the ability to have night vision. In the dark environment, this monster can still see some scenery clearly, while normal humans cannot see anything.
Judging from the monster's eye structure, Alvin judged that this kind of monster is extremely sensitive to light. If a ray of light suddenly appears in front of the monster, the monster may not be able to see anything.
Sensitive light is also one of the monster's weaknesses.
With more information, Alvin will be gone.
It’s not that I can’t get it, but that time is not allowed. To get more information, Ivan needs to dissect the monster’s corpse. Ivan doesn’t have that much time to do this.
Moreover, these local monsters obviously do not allow Alvin to study them with peace of mind.
Just as the two were talking, footsteps rang around, and a group of monsters had already discovered Alvin and Jeffrey and rushed towards Alvin.
But Alvin discovered that this group of monsters was slightly different from the monsters that Alvin killed before.
The first is the difference in body shape. These monsters rushed over are taller than the monster killed by Qi Alvin. Each monster is more than two meters tall. The tallest one should already be two meters three meters tall.
Another difference is that they don’t need claws. The monsters they killed before have sharp claws, but they look very slender, with a streamlined feeling.
However, the monsters in front of them had thick claws, which were at least three times larger than the claws of the monster before, and looked very huge and eye-catching.
And in Alvin's opinion, there is a very big difference between the two sides.
That is, the monsters before were conducting sneak attacks, and even Alvin would suffer a loss when they encountered them. It can be seen how powerful the monster's sneak attack ability is.
However, the monsters in front of them did not conduct a lurking and sneak attack, but rushed over directly and prepared to start the war.
This shows the difference in abilities of both parties.
Alvin can be sure that the monsters in this ruins are not one, and there should be many species, and the abilities of different monsters should also be different.
Alvin raised his staff and wanted to summon his summoned beast to help him fight, but the staff he raised did not cast the spell immediately.
However, Alvin thought of a question: this ruin is so dangerous and there are so many adventurers fighting for it. If he performs too strongly, wouldn’t it be too eye-catching?
If there were no adventurers, Alvin would have summoned his elemental summoning beast without hesitation, but in the current situation.
Alvin feels it is better to hide his strength.
Although this move is already very old-fashioned, it is very cliché but it is very easy to use.
Since the elemental summoning beast cannot be summoned, Evan just happened to use this opportunity to train his magic combat ability.
After a brief hesitation, a fire flashed on the staff, and a fireball attacked the monster rushing in front.
These monsters have very strong defense power. If other magic is used, the effect will probably not be very good. Fire magic is just right to deal with these monsters.
Alvin casts spells very quickly, almost using the speed of two fireballs in one second to attack the coming monster.
Alvin's casting speed scared Jeffrey next to him.
Although this is already the situation after Alvin hides his strength, it still looks so scary.
After all, it takes three or five seconds for a normal second-level magician to perform a fireball technique. Even those powerful magicians can only achieve an instant fireball technique.
Two fireballs in one second are already extremely amazing.
Ai Wen himself did it. Now that he can cast two fireballs in one second, he relies on the magic equipment he uses. After all, the magic equipment he uses is already the top second-level magic equipment.
Alvin's true strength is actually reflected in the summoned beast. Alvin also knows that his own magic power is relatively large, but it is still within a normal range. It will surprise people, but it will not feel threatened or surprised.
Although these monsters have amazing defenses, Alvin's fireball technique has even more amazing attack power and the casting speed is fast enough, so before these monsters approach, Alvin was killed on the spot.
Alvin also wanted to see the combat abilities of these monsters, but for his own safety, he still killed the monster first before it approached.
After the killing was completed, Alvin shouted at Jeffrey: Don't be stupid, find out if there are any treasures nearby.
Ah, yes, I'll look for it right away. Jeffrey was reminded by Evan, and quickly woke up and said it, and then quickly searched around.
As a professional senior thief, Jeffrey's ability to hunt treasures is still very reliable. He only saw Jeffrey walking around the ruins. He knocked and beaten, and soon found a lot of good things from the ruins.
It’s just a pity that these things have no magic power and can only be taken out to sell gold coins. Although they can only sell for the price, after all, the price is there, which still makes Jeffrey very happy, and his mouth is cracked with a smile.
Unfortunately, there was nothing really valuable around this area. Jeffrey walked around and found some jewelry, and there was nothing else to gain.
The division of labor and cooperation between the two was also started. Alvin would otherwise fight and eliminate those threatening existences, while Jeffrey was responsible for finding treasures and searching for treasures.
During this process, Alvin encountered several monsters.
These monsters are basically the same type, but they will be different in terms of details.
Alvin also summarized these monsters he had fought with.
In summary, these monsters are divided into three types, one is an assassin, who can lurk and invisible. This kind of monster is the most dangerous. Alvin has been attacked several times, and Jeffrey has twice, almost died at the hands of this invisible assassin.
The second type is the monsters with particularly large claws I encountered before. This kind of monster is a warrior-type, with strong defense and strong melee combat. After getting close, he uses his claws to attack, and his attack power is very scary.
There are the largest number of such monsters. Every time they are dispatched, there are at least ten. If you encounter a large group, the number may be greater.
Alvin encountered two large groups of similar monsters. When there were too many, Alvin did not dare to take action and took Jeffrey to escape.
This kind of monster is actually not difficult to deal with, but because of its large number, it has a relatively large threat. If there is no advantage in quantity, Alvin can deal with these monsters alone.
The third type of monster, that is, the casting type of long-range attack monster, has a relatively small number of monsters that attack long-range attacks, but their attack power is stronger than other monsters.
Their appearance is also subtlely different from the two previous monsters, and there are two biggest differences.
The first is the difference in body shape. The size of this monster is smaller than that of the previous two monsters.
He is about 1.7 meters tall, and the difference between this kind of monster can be distinguished from his figure.
Another difference is that there is a horn on the forehead of a real monster. When you see a horn on the forehead, you will know that this monster can cast a ranged spell.
The long-range attack by this monster can spray a black light ball from its mouth. The black light ball is very powerful. They can easily penetrate the wall. When they hit Evan, they almost exploded the shield on Evan. The magic shield on Evan has extremely strong defense power, and even such defense is almost blown up. From this point, it can be seen that this monster has a powerful long-range casting ability.
