Vol 6 Chapter 3040: clay puppet

   Chapter 3040 Mud Puppet
   "How is the situation around?"
   It was Kael who spoke, and the object of his questioning was Doakes.
  After Benson finished telling the situation in the cave, Doakes volunteered to test Benson's words. So, he closed his eyes and explored the surroundings with his mental power.
   "As Benson said, there is indeed a large labyrinth around." Doakes: "My mental power can't penetrate the wall, and I can't penetrate upwards. It should be Benson's so-called space trap."
   "In the back road, there is indeed a collapse in an area. I think it is the road Benson took when he came before."
   "Turn right in front of you three times in a row, then walk straight for about 100 meters, and you will enter the poisonous spore mist. The poisonous mist can't penetrate the spiritual power, and the specific internal conditions are unknown."
   Doakes closed his eyes while exploring, and fed back what he had discovered.
   "If you turn right twice in front of you, then go straight for 30 meters, and then turn left four times in a row, it will be a quagmire..."
   Speaking of this, Doakes suddenly froze for a while, and unconsciously made a "huh" in his nasal cavity.
   Not long after, Doakes opened his eyes amid the puzzled expressions of everyone.
   "How do you say that the quagmire stopped? Did something happen in the quagmire?" Kael looked at Doakes curiously.
   Dox pondered for a moment and said, "I saw a mud puppet monster in the swamp..."
  What's so strange about seeing mud puppet monsters? Kael doesn't understand.
Aren’t   spore poisonous mist and slime monsters the main obstacles when exploring the maze?
  Doakes: "Also, hundreds of mud puppet monsters appeared at one time."
   Kael was stunned for a moment, but he still felt that it was no big deal. Benson had said before that these mud puppets and monsters were group activities. There are more than a hundred mud puppets and monsters, but they can bear it.
Kael used to be near the sandworm market and encountered nearly a thousand gregarious monsters. They were a special kind of desert marching ants. They could eat whatever they saw. They were among the three major insect plagues in the Principality of Laxum. ; The strength of these army ants also has the level of beginner and intermediate apprentices.
   So when the two are compared, the mud puppet monster is just like that.
   "The point is not the type of monsters, nor the number, but...they seem to have sensed my mental power, and are now rushing towards us aggressively." Doakes sighed softly.
   Hearing the monsters coming towards them, Kael finally became restless.
  The gregarious monsters are not very lethal individually, but if they gather together, the power will be terrifying.
   In the Principality of Laxum, even the official wizards are reluctant to face the ant plague alone.
   Besides, if you encounter army ants, you can fly into the air to avoid it; but in this semi-closed labyrinth, when they encounter the tide of monsters rolling in, they can't even find a place to hide.
   At this moment, Angel said, "This sounds a bit wrong."
   After a pause, Angel looked at Benson, who was terrified, and asked, "When you met the mud puppet monster before, did they take the initiative to chase you?"
  Benson shook his head: "No...no."
   Benson's answer made Kael's face change suddenly.
   He also thought before that, even Benson can dodge the mud puppet monsters, so they should be able to. As a result, Benson now tells them that the mud puppet monster has not chased him? !
   What's going on here in Nadox?
  Doakes didn't do anything to the mud puppet monsters, he was just exploring with his spiritual power, and the mud puppet monsters rolled in an army. Could this be a trigger of some game rules?
  Although Benson's answer made Kael's face turn pale, Doakes heard his words, but he showed an expression of "as expected".
  Angol: "Do you want to avoid? Or do you want to fight?"
Angel is not too afraid of mud puppet monsters. As an illusion wizard, what he is most afraid of is this kind of gregarious monster that is not very powerful. In the past, an illusion was thrown on his own side or on the enemy. The square camp can guarantee safety.
   However, the abnormal behavior of the mud puppet monster made Angel a little puzzled.
  Benson has also used his mental power to detect the mud puppet monster, otherwise, if he uses the naked eye to find the mud puppet monster, he may not have time to avoid it.
  Benson can use his mental power to detect mud puppets and monsters, so why is there a problem with Dox's exploration?
   Because Doakes is an official wizard?
   But mental strength is not a criterion for judging an official wizard.
   Moreover, Doakes is not a wizard who is good at spiritual power; many apprentices who specialize in spiritual power are not much weaker than Doakes.
   If he encounters an apprentice who is good at spiritual power and a wizard who is not good at spiritual power, it will be difficult for Angel to judge who is an apprentice and who is a formal wizard by relying solely on the intensity of the fluctuations emitted by their spiritual power.
   Therefore, Angel felt something was wrong. The behavior of the mud puppet monster is too abnormal.
   However, there is also... Doakes.
   Doakes proposed to explore the surroundings and end the game himself, which is not his style. This kind of exploration work, Doakes can completely be handed over to Su Ling.
   Besides, is it really necessary to explore the surroundings?
   Their goal is very clear, that is, the avatar of the speedy.
   The way to find a clone is very simple, just let the speed spirit lead the way. It doesn't matter even if the avatar of the quick spirit is not in the mud puppet maze. The big deal, just go through a few space barriers.
   This is the anomaly of Doakes.
   In addition, Angel also saw some tricks in Doakes' expression.
  He went to explore the road, maybe not just to explore the road, but also have other deep meanings?
   Therefore, Angel did not raise any objection, but asked Doakes about the next plan.
  Doakes: "Don't evade... After those mud puppet monsters come over, take a closer look."
   After a pause, Doakes said in a meaningful tone: "I have a feeling that these slime monsters will surprise us."
   "What surprise?" Angel said directly.
   Doakes said mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will..."
However, before Dox's voice fell, Angel interrupted directly: "The riddleman usually ends badly. Besides, haven't you been complaining about Wai's death divination? Why, now you are also learning it. God babbling?"
   Doakes looked stiff, turned his face away unnaturally, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Actually, my uncle coughs... I don't know what will happen, it's just a vague feeling."
  Angol glanced at Doakes, nodded and said, "I accept this answer."
  Angol is also aware of Dox's abilities. After all, he is not a prophetic wizard, and he cannot see the real future. His abnormal behaviors are obviously dominated by inspiration.
   And inspiration is more mysterious than prophecy. He didn't know what was going to happen, it was normal.
   If you don’t know, you don’t know, just say it.
  Since Dox's inspiration directed them to face this group of mud puppet monsters, the face is. Angel didn't say anything more, just silently arranged illusion nodes beside him.
   For the conversation between Angel and Dox, Kael felt that it was normal. But Benson on the other side was full of surprise.
   He knew Dox, but he didn't know Angel... Or, he didn't know Angel after his face changed.
   In Benson's mind, Doakes should be the center of the crowd. But now it seems that this wizard with red hair and golden eyes is the backbone? But who is he?
   When Benson looked at Angel in surprise, there were bursts of roars in the distance.
   With the roar, the ground began to tremble.
  Obviously, the mud puppet monster group is about to approach them.
  Seeing this, Benson also gave up thinking about Angel's identity, but took a deep breath and ducked back: "I, I..."
  Benson's idea was to leave here first, but he was also worried that he would anger the two official wizards by leaving, and stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
Angel glanced at Benson, and threw an illusion cover for him, saying: "The illusion lasts for half an hour. During the illusion, the normal mud puppet monsters will not find you. You can choose to stay here. , or you can leave."
  Benson didn't know whether what Angel said was true or not. He couldn't fully believe what the wizard said.
   However, Benson still showed gratitude on the surface, and then he stepped back while saying grateful words.
   After retreating more than ten meters, Benson hadn't figured out how to leave.
   Angel said lightly: "Go."
  Benson was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thanked Angel, then quickly turned and left. It is worth mentioning that this time the thanks are much more sincere than before.
   There was no one to stop Benson from leaving, and no one to blame the choice.
   If they were Benson, they would make the same choice.
   Compared with Benson, who was thinking about leaving, the current situation is undoubtedly more worthy of attention.
  Angol arranged another illusion for Kael and motioned him to step aside. Then, Angel arranged a trigger-type illusion node around himself and Dox.
   can be activated at any time.
   Whether to use illusion or not depends on the current situation.
   At this time, dust and mist had begun to drift from the passage ahead, and the earth shook wildly. Obviously it is a group of apprentice-level monsters, but it has created a wizard-level aura.
   Seeing that the mud puppet monster was coming, Doakes seemed to have discovered something, and said to Angel: "You don't have to do it first, leave it to me here."
  Angel nodded, he didn't trust Doakes very much, but he trusted his inspiration very much.
  Angol took a few steps back and quietly watched Doakes and the magnificent group of clay dolls and monsters from behind.
  …
   To be precise, it was no longer a group of mud puppets and monsters, but a torrent of monsters.
   Their goal is very clear, without the slightest pause, they locked on Doakes and rolled in.
  The dust spreads all around, and even the true face of the mud puppet monster is hard to see, only the shock of the terrifying torrent can be felt.
   And Doakes alone, standing in front of the torrent, seemed to have no fear of the mud puppet monster.
   His calmness seemed to anger the mud puppet monsters. They moved faster, rolling, jumping, and grinning, trying to completely crush and devour Doakes.
   There were even a lot of mud puppet monsters, eyeing Angor.
   As long as Dox is resolved, the new target will be Angor.
   But before they could face Angel, they encountered Waterloo at this level in Doakes.
   Doakes used the power of one person to block the seemingly infinite torrent with his thin body.
   In this scene, even Angel couldn't help but praise.
   Doakes obviously did not activate his bloodline, and he only used his physical strength to hold the mud puppet monster, which was enough to prove Doakes' strength.
   The bloodline side is worthy of being the bloodline side. The invincibility of the same level is just different... On Angel, he would not dare to play like this; of course, he couldn't afford it either. Apart from the green seeds attached to his projection bloodline, the others are really not enough to look at. At present, it is too weak and embarrassing to use.
  Docks did not attack the group of monsters after blocking the mud puppet monsters, but quickly walked through the monsters.
   This behavior, in Angel's view, is full of weirdness.
   But from the point of view of the mud puppet monster, Dox's loach-like slippery behavior is like a provocation to them.
The clay puppet monsters were even more angry. Originally, many clay puppet monsters had already set their sights on Angor. It stands to reason that Dox broke into their group and was no longer defensive, so they could come and attack Anger; But at this time, the provocative anger prevailed, they completely ignored Angel's existence, and continued to attack Doakes one after another.
   And Doakes seemed to think that the provocation of 'breaking into their team' was not enough, and closed his eyes, looking like he was completely at ease.
   For a time, the narrow passage was full of roars and roars.
   "Sir Red Sword, what are you doing...?" Kael's slightly hesitant voice came from the tie.
  Angol shook his head: "I don't know, maybe you are looking for something?"
  Angel said this because he noticed that Doakes' ears kept moving. He closed his eyes not to be provocative, but to use a technique such as 'Balance of the Five Senses' to enhance his hearing by closing his vision.
   However, Angel couldn't be sure what exactly Dox was looking for.
  Because he didn't know Dox's target for the time being, Angel simply put his eyes on the mud puppet monster.
Before   , the clay puppet monster came wrapped in dust and majestic momentum. For a while, I really couldn't see the appearance of the clay puppet monster.
   But now, after being blocked by Dox with his fleshly body, these mud puppet monsters have become more imposing, but they have also become sluggish, revealing their true colors.
  I have to say, the mud puppet monster has a lot of personality.
  Other non-humanoid monsters are basically the same in the eyes of most wizards.
   is like an ordinary person watching a black panther. Even though the markings and hair are obviously different, in general, it is still difficult for humans to distinguish the appearance of a black panther. I just feel that all the black panthers I meet look the same.
  The Mud Puppet Monster is different, each of them looks completely different.
   As their name suggests, they are a kind of mud doll: dolls made of mud.
   Their clay figures are completely different, there are humans, cats and dogs, birds and fish... The sizes are also completely different, the big ones are like tusk elephants, and the small ones are like insects.
   It looks exactly like the "Biological Encyclopedia" - a clay sculpture version.
