Chapter 513: Tia the Snake Shepherd (2-in-1)
Under Bai Xiaowen's command, the summoned creatures gave full play to the potential of the demolition team.
The skull knife and shield hand slashed and slashed to clear the bushes at the entrance of the cave. Then with a wave of the butcher's thick arm, the stones blocking the entrance of the cave collapsed and fell to the side.
"There are traces of artificial excavation in this cave. The old demon studied it for a while, and said with certainty, "Judging from the excavation marks, it has been about a few months. β
Bai Xiaowen nodded. To be on the safe side, he summoned the Shadow Assassin first, went into a lurking state, and walked in the front to find the way. He and the old demon led the other summoned creatures to follow a distance of 100 meters.
The cave is deep and twists and turns. After walking a hundred and ten meters deeper, the old demon added his previous judgment that this cave was naturally formed, but it had been artificially widened and carved in the later stage.
Bai Xiaowen also agreed with him.
The cave was empty, and no monsters were found along the way.
After the two lit the torches, they saw some stone murals along the way.
The body of the eagle head, the deity with a golden disc on his head, the mortal who serves the deity in front of him, the mortal who kneels down devoutly, and some animals such as pigs, geese, and so on.
Judging from the painters, these murals are not called works of art, but more like some kind of graffiti - it is obvious that the carver has been very attentive, but the level of painting is probably worse than Bai Xiaowen.
"What are these murals, can you tell?" asked the old demon.
Bai Xiaowen held a torch, glanced in front of the mural, and said, "It must be foreign...... It's a bit like the style of ancient ruins in Central Asia and Arabia. You can go back and study it slowly. β
Bai Xiaowen kept turning on the psionic camera and recorded the process of exploring the cave.
The two stopped in front of the mural for a long time, but never found any special clues, and could only attribute it to an ordinary mural.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen said "Huh": "The shadow assassin who explored the path was ...... Killed. β
"What monster did that?" asked the old demon.
"The time was too short, and when I cut my vision, I saw only a serpentine black shadow...... Should it be a python?" Bai Xiaowen was a little unsure.
The old demon was a little unsettled: "Killed the Shadow Assassin so quickly?" The old demon knew that the Shadow Assassin had a racial skill that reduced physical damage by 50%.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the battle record.
"The Desert King Python has devoured your minions, the Shadow Assassins, and is in size...... Judgment successful!"
"Your Minion: Shadow Assassin takes 122 acid damage. β
"Your Minion: Shadow Assassin takes 126 acid damage (48 excess damage). Shadow Assassin dead. β
Bai Xiaowen showed the battle record to the old demon.
"No wonder, it turned out to be swallowed by a python. Acid damage is a type of magic damage, and your assassin will take an additional 50%," the old demon nodded, "but ...... Even so, that python is by no means an ordinary mob, and there may be a humanoid boss in this cave...... It's better to be cautious. β
"I understand...... And there is a little addition, there must be a humanoid BOSS, and it is a type of mental specialty," Bai Xiaowen said, "The shadow assassin is invisible throughout the whole process, and if you want to catch it in the stealth state, you must have the ability to scan the spirit......"
Bai Xiaowen glanced at his left wrist and once again confirmed that the danger in the cave was a "moderate threat", and continued: "Due to the presence of the python, it can be further inferred that ...... The other party should be the same as me, a summoner profession. β
The old demon nodded. Seeing that Bai Xiaowen had no idea of retreating, he stopped persuading and followed Bai Xiaowen forward.
The old demon's group stealth skill [Refractive Barrier] has a total priority of 6 points, while the spiritual scan of the spirit specialty boss has a base priority of 4 points. As long as the boss doesn't have a special mental detection skill, it is impossible to catch the stealth of the old demon.
This is also where the old demon's confidence lies, he thinks that even if there is a case, he can run away with Bai Xiaowen......
"This is where the Shadow Assassin was attacked......" Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "I didn't find any trace of that python, it seems ......"
Sizzle!
With a snake roar, a giant python the size of a bucket suddenly jumped down from the top of the cave, opened its foul and pungent mouth, and bit Bai Xiaowen suddenly!
The second half of Bai Xiaowen's words were forced into his stomach, he took a step back, and the butcher beside him stepped forward.
The devouring judgment of the python depends on the size of the target. The butcher's mountain-like body, it can be swallowed successfully, and hell with it.
Bai Xiaowen's hand was raised suddenly, and the three skeleton swords and shields surrounded the giant python in a zigzag shape, and the iron knives were raised together, slashing indiscriminately.
This giant python looked terrifying, but after Bai Xiaowen's insight, he found that it was only at the level of elite level 7, and it was just able to get rid of the shadow assassin in seconds, and it was completely a surprise sneak attack plus gram production.
However, there was not only one python in the cave, and soon there was a sizzling sound, and two more pythons wandered in.
"Do you want me to help you?" asked the old demon cautiously.
"No!" Bai Xiaowen raised his hand, the skeleton warrior brandished his big sword, and the whirlwind slashed out, intercepting a python, and Kitts rushed over with two skeleton sword shields and intercepted the third.
And the python at the beginning, under the siege of the fat boy and the three skeleton sword and shield men, the health value is rapidly decreasing.
In the case that Bai Xiaowen is on guard, if the three pythons want to devour it successfully, it will be impossible, under Bai Xiaowen's control, the position of the summons is quite coquettish, and if the devouring skill misses the target, of course, the judgment will not be triggered.
A low rhythm came from the depths of the cavern. In the cracks of the rocks, small snakes the thickness of fingers crawled out.
"It's a little rattlesnake outside the cave...... It looks like there are quite a few of them. They seem to be manipulated!" said the old demon.
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, his eyes shot to the side of a rock: "I finally can't bear it anymore...... Get the hell out of here!"
Crackling!
In the gloomy cavern, a bolt of lightning struck down, and the long-awaited bone demon magician raised his hand to be a lightning strike.
With a cold snort, a man in a white wrapping robe and a felt hat flashed out.
By the light of the torches, it was a dark-skinned, bearded man, with a whimpering face and a whooping cry.
"What is he talking about?" Bai Xiaowen was stunned and didn't understand......
The old demon shook his head: "It shouldn't be ancient Latin, it's like Arabic ......"
Bai Xiaowen quickly threw out his insight.
γTia (Boss Level 7)γ
[Race: Humanoid/Terran]
[Occupation: Serpent Priest]
[Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 28, Constitution 36, Spirit 70]
[Skill 1: Snake Rhythm: Passive, Tia plays the snake flute, and can control the actions of snake creatures in a medium range (spirit*10, unit: meters). The stronger the target snake, the weaker the control. γ
[Skill 2: Python Symbiosis: Passive, Tia and the three pythons he gets along with day and night are in a state of life binding, and the four share health points. Vital attacks on one of them will not trigger the instant kill effect, but will only reduce the target's current health. Any python that exceeds the effective distance (spirit *20 in meters) between it and Tia will cause the python's life binding to fail. γ
[Skill 3: Drum of Bewilderment: Tia strikes the snake drum to make a bewildered drum sound to all enemies in a small area.] The target enemy must pass the total stat check, otherwise they will be confused for a short time. γ
[Skill 4: ???]
[Skill 5: Edjo's Gift LV2: HP is increased by an additional 400 points, and the duration of ailments and control effects is reduced by 40%. γ
"Sure enough, it's a summoning stream boss ......"
Seeing the skill of the symbiosis of the giant python, it is quite similar to his own life sharing, and this boss Tia is actually bound to three giant pythons, and he is not afraid of decapitation tactics.
Like Bai Xiaowen, he binds the angry claw as a life-sharing target, and the combined health of the two is 540 points, which can be regarded as the nemesis of the decapitation tactic. But it is not ruled out that the opposite side will concentrate the maximum firepower in a short period of time and pour it on Bai Xiaowen's body, emptying all the 540 HP points-
After all, 540 HP, which is the HP of a level 7 boss, has to be the kind of crispy boss of the non-blood cow type.
The health of Tia and the three pythons together, plus the LV2 effect of the general boss skill "Edjo's Gift", the total HP may soar to more than 1500 points, which is really a headache for any decapitation tactic.
"But...... The so-called strongest point is the weakest point, if you bind the three pythons together, it doesn't matter what decapitation tactics are, directly with your giant python, it is equivalent to reducing your health......"
Bai Xiaowen quickly changed his tactics, summoned creatures to change formations, and the two skeleton sword and shield hands and skeleton warriors together watched Tia, and the other creatures divided and surrounded the three giant pythons.
Bai Xiaowen held the gun in both hands and turned on the burst fire mode of the Desert Eagle. He was aiming at one of the pythons.
Bullets poured out.
The old demon's eyes widened.
Also in a fighting state, he can see the health and blood bar of the giant python, and he can clearly see how much damage Bai Xiaowen has caused with each shot. The python's seemingly thick blood bar is actually falling at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"When did the output of the summoning class body become so fierce?"
The old demon sighed, and then began to move on to clean up the small desert rattlesnakes crawling around.
These small rattlesnakes are a headache for many single-output classes, but the old demon is a spellcaster-type support, so it's different. He just made a simple flash skill, and the enhanced special effect "Radiant" directly cleared a piece of the rattlesnake in an area. For sporadic rattlesnakes, the old demon's hand crossbow is not vegetarian.
Regardless of whether it is a monster killed by the old demon or not, as long as it is within the melee range of the butcher, the passive of the slaughterhouse can be stacked. The old demon also knew this, and deliberately guided the snakes to the butcher's side before making a move, and did quite well.
And the boss Tia, under the siege of the summoned creatures, the sound of the flute is also intermittent, and there is no way to manipulate the snake group to launch any decent offensive.
In her eagerness, Tia jerked the snake drum around her waist.
Knock, knock......
The low beat of drums echoed through the gloomy caverns.
The Drum of Confusion skill is activated, and within 10 meters of Tia, all enemies are affected by the sound of the drum, and all attributes need to be checked!
Bai Xiaowen's minion is not among them.
This kind of confusing effect is a competition with the summoner for control of the creature, and of course a contest between the caster and the hostile summoner. Fight to win, the so-called "what's yours is mine, mine is still mine...... Of course, this is only a temporary deceptive effect, and after time has passed, control will still return.
Bai Xiaowen got a hint:
"Thea, the serpent priest, unleashed the drum of confusion, and all attributes are in ......"
Tia will be stunned for 8 seconds, which is not reduced by the Tenacity skill. β
In an instant, Bai Xiaowen's left eye flashed with a slight red light, but it was only a flash. He then raised his hand to cover his throbbing left eye.
The old demon was in a trance for a moment, and there seemed to be an illusion in front of him. He covered his head and said, "This boss is so powerful to control ......"
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen's left eye, that is, the Eye of Evolution, stunned the boss, so that the old demon was instantly out of the confused state.
"Okay...... Overall, the Eye of Evolution is really the nemesis of the Confusion Skill......"
If it's a hard control such as stun, paralysis, etc., it won't trigger the backlash of the Eye of Evolution. But the control of the bewildered class is the "reverse scale" of the Eye of Evolution...... Bai Xiaowen also couldn't understand the reflex principle of the Evolutionary Eye.
If there was no Eye of Evolution, Bai Xiaowen would still be in a state of confusion, after all, the other party was a level 7 boss, and his total attributes were much higher than him. Of course, Bai Xiaowen has the passivity of sincerity, and he can reduce most of the control time, and he is not afraid of being overturned in this short period of time.
Taking advantage of the eight seconds that Tia was stunned, Bai Xiaowen and the summoned creatures stepped up their output, and soon crippled Tia and the three giant pythons.
And Tia, who had woken up from her dizzy state, seemed to have lost the courage to fight, screaming loudly, kneeling down on one knee, bowing her head to the void, and making some kind of special etiquette......
"What's going on?"
Bai Xiaowen frowned. The language barrier made him unable to ask. However, the counterattack of the three giant pythons has not stopped, and it is impossible for Bai Xiaowen to stop, and directly killed Tia and the giant python who shared their lives.
This is the most inexplicable boss that Bai Xiaowen has played.
Tia increased the butcher's maximum health by 30 points, and gave Bai Xiaowen 7,000 psionic points, without any discount. This shows that the rules of the spirit world recognize Bai Xiaowen's killing contribution.
A large golden treasure chest, condensed above Tia's corpse.
The old demon finally came back to his senses: "Level 7 leader, you killed it alone...... You're only level 5, aren't you? It's unimaginable......"
"Hmm, I'm level 6......" Bai Xiaowen looked at the spiritual realm prompt that had just come, "Or level 5 has 100% experience, and you can enter the spirit realm at any time to upgrade." β
