Chapter 2304: Black Pudding Monster

Qiao An also learned the "secret eye". As far as the investigative function is concerned, this spell has its own strengths and the "peeping eye".
The "secret eye" is more concealed, and the caster can directly observe the movement in the distance through the "secret eye". "Peeping the magic eye" is not so convenient. You must wait for the magic eye to return to the caster to read Intelligence obtained by investigation.
The advantage of "Peeping Magic Eye" is that it can create a lot of detection devices at one time to detect different directions and corners, which is suitable for wide and complex environments.
As for the flaw that the "Peeping Eye" cannot share the vision, Qiao An can use "Mythology Link" to make up for it. Therefore, he prefers to use the "Peeping Eye" when performing investigations.
The brick kiln where the "Mother Plague" hides is not that complicated. There are only two laterally extending tunnels in total. Edward's use of a "secret eye" for investigation is enough.
"Mystic Eye" floated to the first intersection, Edward frowned and raised his hand to remind his companion to prepare for battle.
Within a minute, a scalp-numbing squeak came from the depths of the dim cave dwelling.
Allen raised his hand to play "Dancing Lights," and four small of light flew up to illuminate the tunnel ahead.
Many shining light spots are faintly visible in the darkness, like a flood of fireflies, moving quickly toward this side.
"Wow~ a lot of big mice!"
Xiao Miao whistled and pulled out a flying knife, blessed the 3-ring natural magic "Summon Arrow Rain", and threw it at the brick kiln.
Throwing a knife across the night sky, the moment it was about to land split into countless cold rays, accompanied by a burst of intensive pops, the fierce rats within 60 feet in front were splashed with blood and screamed, and fell on the way to charge.
Edward showed off a wand inlaid with rubies, and launched a "lightning beam" into the depths of the tunnel. The roaring electric light pierced a string of fierce rats, and the screams were mixed with the pungent smell of burnt fur.
Thomas and his hamster familiar turned into a fierce bear, blocking the rat group with a huge body.
Allen casts spells to summon the abyssal wolves to fill the space beside the two ferocious bears, forming a tight line of defense together.
With this line of defense, Rebecca, Azhi, and Teacher Benny in the back row can calmly shoot, throw alchemy bombs, and continue to kill the violent rats approaching.
The rats were intercepted and failed to break through the line of defense after paying heavy casualties. It seemed that they had received instructions from someone to leave their dead and injured companions everywhere, as if the ebb sea water evacuated to the depths of the tunnel.
Xiao Miao drew out her rapier, and when she saw the fierce rat still struggling, she made up for it.
Rebecca held up the holy symbol and chanted prayers praising the goddess of destiny, guiding a circle of positive energy fluctuations, helping Alan, Thomas and the hamster pet to stop the bleeding and heal.
After clearing the battlefield, everyone followed the fierce rats and continued to explore the depths of the brick kiln. Not far away, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.
Edward's remote control "Secret Eye" flew into the laterally extending tunnel and said to himself: "The area here is very deep, there should be nothing... Wait! What is that?!"
As everyone watched vigilantly, sewage gushed out of the side tunnel, and a large pile of dark objects was floating on the water, still creeping.
Qiao An waved his hand to play "Illumination" and manipulated the magic ball of light to float above the sewage.
Under the radiance of magic, the monster floating on the water clearly appeared in front of everyone.
At first glance, it looked like a large mass of pitch-black clay, with a smooth hemispherical body, exuding a rotten and fermented sour smell.
"This stinky thing looks a lot like some kind of mud monster." Conti murmured, stroking his braids.
Qiao An remembered that Jerry mentioned that in addition to insects and fierce rats, "Mother Plague" had mud monsters as accomplices, but the mud monsters had many subtypes with different characteristics.
If you don't know what kind of mud-shaped monster this black monster belongs to, you may suffer a loss if you fight it later.
...
Reconnaissance target: super large mud monster
Life level: 10
Attributes: Strength 16, Dexterity 1, Constitution 22, Intelligence -, Wisdom 1, Charisma 1
Special abilities: Mud-shaped monster characteristics, blindness, immunity to acid corrosion, immunity to slashing and piercing attacks, split reproduction, acid corrosion, other (unproved)
...
According to the intelligence obtained by the "Advanced Internal Vision" investigation, Qiao An guessed the mud-shaped monster with a sour smell in front of him by comparing the entries and illustrations listed in the mud-shaped monster sub-volume of "Valez Monster Illustrated Book" , It is probably the so-called "black pudding monster".
This creature has almost no intelligence, relying entirely on instinct to survive in dim and humid environments such as gutters, sewers, and underground caves.
The black pudding monster is born with the "blind vision" ability. As long as it senses the presence of living creatures or metal objects nearby, it will squirm and beat the prey with its artificial feet until the opponent stops resisting, and then wraps its soft jelly-like body to lose consciousness. The prey secretes acid to dissolve and absorb it.
In the introduction to the Black Pudding Monster in the Monster Illustrated Book, the most impressive detail to Qiao An is that this creature can reproduce through self-division.
The smaller individual that splits will not be nurtured by the mother, and must rely on its own strength to hunt prey, continue to grow itself, until it matures, and split again into a new black pudding monster.
In fact, there is no upper limit to the number of divisions of the Black Pudding Monster. As long as there is sufficient food, this low-level creature at the bottom of the evolutionary chain can continue to divide, expand the population size, and cause devastating damage to the ecological environment of the habitat.
Just as Qiao'an was investigating, the Black Pudding monster was creeping and approaching.
Ah Zhi raised his gun and fired. The lead bullet bombarded the black pudding monster's body made of sludge, causing ripples. The mucus exuding from the wound exuded a pungent and sour odor. In a blink of an eye, the lead bullet was corroded to the point that there was no residue left.
The kobold alchemist found that the shooting was ineffective, so he took out the bomb with the largest amount of medicine from his bag, reminded his companions to cover his ears, lit the fuse and threw it out.
The alchemy bomb fell in front of the black pudding monster, and the fuze scoffed and splashed sparks.
This brainless monster seemed unaware of it, and his swollen body squirmed directly toward the bomb.
At the moment it suppressed the bomb, a loud bang suddenly came from under him, almost smashing the brick kiln!
Qiao An opened up the "Iron Maiden" to block the silt and acid splashing from the opposite side, but had no time to resist the dust falling from the top of his head.
Xiao Miao was choked and coughed repeatedly, shaking off the dust from the cat's ears, turning her head and glaring at the kobold: "You dare to say that the bomb you made is absolutely safe!"
"This is just a small accident. At least I didn't blow up the brick kiln, and I successfully solved the mud monster... Uh? Wait, it doesn't seem right..."
The kobold alchemist looked into the dusty tunnel, a touch of confusion appeared in his eyes.
