Chapter 2531: Rust Monster

To this day, even though the Kou Tao murlocs are ridiculed by other ethnic groups in the underground world as "house slaves of the three surnames", they are still mixed up and have a firm foothold in the triangle lake area, which can be regarded as the first-line echelon of the third-rate forces.
The Kou Tao murlocs who are entrenched in the triangle lake should be very clear that the dock on the lake is Mitra’s industry, and that the kobolds are her servants. They will not provoke a beholder noble for no reason, unless there is backstage support-maybe It is the lords of the Mind-seating Demon of Oedis, or it may be some of the giant-eyed tyrants of Udinese.
There is too little information available, and Qiao Ann still can't guess who is secretly tricking him.
In fact, any demon or beholder has good reasons to target her.
To the Mind Reaver, she is the enemy; to other beholders, her disability and otherness are the original sin.
Temporarily suppressing doubts, Joan asked Tisitaia: "What happened to the mine?"
"In the depths of a newly excavated mine, traces of the activity of the rust monsters were found. There may be such strange nests nearby." Tisitaia continued, "Last night, the mine warehouse was attacked by the rust monsters. At first there were no personnel. Casualties, but severe damage to mining tools."
Qiao An hasn't seen the Rust Monster himself, but he has seen illustrations and introductions in the literature.
The most prominent feature of this weird living in the underground world is that there are a pair of long and dexterous feather-like tentacles on the forehead. Any metal product that touches the skin or tentacles of the rusty monster will quickly rust and decay.
Rust monsters feed on metal. Just like spiders need to inject venom into their prey before eating, the flesh and blood are broken down into more digestible fluids before they are sucked by their mouthparts. Rust monsters always use their tentacles to rust the metal first, and then eat the softened and fluffy food.
Corrosion monsters are not evil in nature, and their fighting power is not outstanding, but when they are hungry, they will become restless. Any creature carrying metal products will immediately launch a violent attack!
In Mitra's memory, there are often rust monsters in the magic crystal mining area of ​​Udinese, and the miners of the tauren are enough to expel these large reptiles.
It stands to reason that the Corrosion Monster is not a big problem, and Tisitaia and Valakte came to report to her, wouldn't it be a fuss?
Tisitaia has been observing the changes in her master's expression, guessing her mind, and quickly winking at her partner.
Valak gave a dry cough and reluctantly opened his mouth.
"Master Mitra, if there are only rust monsters in the mine making trouble, you don't need to worry about it, your subordinates can handle it, but...there are signs that the situation is not as simple as we initially thought."
"Tell me, what are the abnormal signs?" Qiao An looked at Varak.
"On the night of the incident, there were a total of ten tauren miners on night shift. Hearing abnormal movement from the warehouse, they went to check and found that the door was damaged. A group of rusty monsters were chewing on the mining picks and rushed in."
"Three rust monsters were killed on the spot by angry miners, and the other two escaped the warehouse in fright and went deep into the tunnel."
"Two miners stayed in the warehouse and counted the losses, while the other eight tauren carried wooden sticks to hunt down the rust monster."
"The two who stayed behind waited until dawn to start work, and didn't see their companions coming back. They were worried about their accident, so they ran to report to me."
"After receiving the news, I hurried to the mining area and led the team to follow the tunnel where the rust monster escaped last night, until deep in the pit, I found a hidden umbilicus, which seems to have been excavated by the rust monster."
"I told the giant scorpion mount to explore the way forward, lead the team deep into the umbilicus, and finally reached an empty cave. On the smooth and wet rock walls around, the faint blue light reflected by the magic crystal veins can be vaguely seen."
"I am secretly happy that I have obtained a new source of wealth for my master, and suddenly there is a cry of exclamation beside me."
Speaking of this, Varak's main eyes appeared dark, as if recalling the tragic things, his tone became low.
"I hurriedly followed the prestige and found two tauren laborers rushing over frantically, with horrified expressions, as if they had seen a ghost."
"I berated them to calm down and find out what happened."
"The two long-horned idiots were too frightened. They stammered and couldn't speak clearly. They pointed towards the corner."
"I floated to the area they pointed out, and immediately smelled a strong aura. In the dark corner of the cave, two corpses were scattered, and blood dripped all over the ground."
"The deceased was a tauren. According to the miners who accompanied him, the corpse was one of the companions who chased the Corroded Monster last night."
"This hapless guy died in a terrible state. The body was broken in two, and the torso above the waist and below the chest disappeared mysteriously."
"Master Mitra, of course you know that the Corroded Monster only eats metal and is not interested in flesh and blood. The murderer of the miners is obviously someone else."
"With my mind full of doubts, I approached the corpse and examined it carefully. There were no signs of biting and eating. The cross-section of the wound was very smooth, and it didn’t look like it was cut with an axe, because the wound was arc-shaped. Put them together and you will find that... the entire wound is a perfect cylinder, like a well in the chest and abdomen of a tauren, and the flesh and blood viscera corresponding to the well head... are all broken down into dust."
"Dissociation Ray?" Qiao An blurted out.
Varak nodded heavily: "I guessed that too, Master Mitra."
"Where are the other missing miners?"
"I haven't found their whereabouts yet. I don't know if they were killed or defected." Varak told the truth. "I found that weird corpse. I had a foreboding that if I continued to track it, I was afraid that something might happen, so I led the team. Withdraw from the mine, suspend construction, and come to report to you."
If the miner died of dissociation rays, does it mean that there is a beholder hiding in the depths of the mine, killing the tauren miner who accidentally broke in in order to dominate the magic crystal vein?
This is the most reasonable explanation, but Qiao An then thought that there might be other possibilities.
"Valak, is the new pit we dug connected to the lair of the Corroded Monster?"
"Yes, Master Mitra."
"Then have you ever heard of a creature called the'higher rust monster" that is occasionally born in the rust monster race?" Qiao An asked.
Varak looked dazed, and turned his head to cast a look at Tisitaia for help.
"Eye of Gauss" raised an eye stalk and scratched his head, smiling bitterly to relieve his partner.
"Dear Master, we are not as knowledgeable as you. Can we talk in detail, what does the'higher rust monster' look like and what special ability does it have?"
"The appearance of the high-grade rust monster looks similar to the ordinary rust monster, but the skin is darker, usually blue, and there are two long tentacles on the top of the head. It contains amazing destructive magic power and can decompose everything it touches. , Similar to dissociation rays."
Qiao An described according to the records in the literature.
