Chapter 176: Phantom Beast
After returning from Mishuram, although he tried many times to ask Kia what happened that night, he came to a conclusion that disappointed everyone, and he had to put the matter on hold for the time being. As the residents' vote to investigate Mayor Dita's proposal for the independence of Crossbell is approaching, the citizens are still paying close attention to it despite the intense pressure from the Imperial and Republic governments, and the Special Assignment Support Section is being commissioned more and more, so much so that even Ike has to temporarily join the Special Assignment Support Section at Tio's behest. Although he was only in charge of assisting with some commissions that he was interested in, it has to be said that with a strong reinforcement, the already busy support section's schedule has finally become stable.
"Phantom beasts?" Returning from the Orchid Tower, listening to the information Lloyd received from the Orchid Tower, Ike frowned.
"Yes, the task issued by Commander Sonia himself was jointly completed by the Support Section and the Guerrilla Association, but considering that both sides were busy, some division of labor was made, and this commission was entrusted to us." Lloyd said, pulling out a few printouts from the file and handing them to Ike, "It's a somewhat uncanny monster that is different from the normal Warcraft finish, and we've seen it in the old mines, and according to the guerrillas, they've seen it too. And their appearance and disappearance are very strange, so I wanted to ask Ike if you know some information.
"Phantom beasts... Ike thought for a moment, "Wait, you're talking about the old mines?" ”
"Yes, not towers and monasteries, but real wilderness." Lloyd and Waji looked at each other and replied.
"Listening to your descriptions, most of them are some higher-level magical beasts, which occasionally appear in places where the force field is distorted. But so often in the vicinity of Crossbell rather than in the monasteries ... Shouldn't these things be discussed with the Qiyao Church? After all, they're experts at it. Ike replied with a casual glance at Vaji.
"We're going to church in a while, and when we come back, we want to ask Ike first." Lloyd replied.
“。。。 It seems interesting, I'll join the search too," Ike said after a moment's thought. "Where was the last place to find a monster?"
"It was discovered by the lovers of the Angler's Guild at Tanggulam Gate, and judging from the intelligence from some time ago, it seems that the demonic beast is still around there."
"Really? Then without further ado, let's get rid of that monster and then go to church. It just so happened that some of the people I wanted to visit came to this church. Ike pushed back his chair and stood up.
After agreeing on the itinerary, the few people who were routine in the wind and thunder quickly rushed to the charter cabin on the Tanggulam Gate Road in a guided car, and the anglers who were guarding there early to quietly observe the monsters shouted as if relieved when they saw Lloyd, "Lloyd members, this way!" ”
"Members?"
"I've also joined the Angler's Guild." Lloyd replied with a smile, "It's been a long time, Chief Seldan, I heard that there are incredible large demonic beasts here?" ”
"Yes, yes, just yesterday evening, that monster suddenly appeared in the depths of the swamp, we originally planned to escape, but the monster doesn't seem to plan to leave here, so since yesterday, we have been monitoring its situation in shifts." Seldan replied.
"Thankfully, did anything strange happen during the surveillance period?" Noelle asked.
"No, not at all, it's just that it's even more creepy, even if we look at it from a distance, we can feel its hostile will and breath." Seldan replied with a sigh of relief.
"How to describe it... Another member of the group interjected, "I don't think it should be that it doesn't want to move, but that it can't move." ”
“。。。 Suddenly appeared, and couldn't get out of that place? The group looked at each other, and Vaji spoke.
"It really seems to have something to do with the force field distortion." Randy frowned.
"Yes or no, just go in and see." Ike replied, and after Seldan carefully unlocked the door, the group walked briskly inside.
At the end of the wooden door, a giant demonic beast about four or five sub-distances appeared in the realization, I don't know whether it was the shape of a plant or an animal, the huge body was like a big mouth one by one, and the exposed skin was covered with sharp spikes, if it was a plant, it could clearly see the action of the demonic beast, but if it was an animal, the thick and sharp rhizome-like claws that were deeply rooted in the ground were not at all like the posture that an animal should have.
"I see, it's really as big as the report says." Randy whispered, "Ati, is the force field distorted?" ”
"Although I don't understand the reason for this phenomenon, there are indeed three high-level attributes in space-time illusion." Theo replied.
"Be careful not to be plotted by it." Ike pulled out his long sword from his back, "Remind me, most of these monsters will release some skills such as strong acid, don't be careless." ”
"Good!"
In the face of the well-prepared support department, the huge and difficult to move body has become a perfect target at this moment, under the continuous magic bombardment, even if it is a phantom beast, it is difficult to support, especially after the last means is seen through by the experienced Ike, with an unwilling will, a dazzling light flashed, and the huge figure disappeared from sight.
"It's unexpectedly easy to deal with." Randy replied with a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to the blessing that the phantom beast has a huge body, it can't move. And Ike also knows its final killer feature. Lloyd replied.
"However, in the end, it was the same, and it disappeared in an incredible way." Ellie said with some concern, "And like the guerrillas said, this is a different feel."
"There's no real feeling of hitting it, right?" Ike replied indifferently, holding the long sword and walking towards the location where the phantom beast originally appeared, "Theo, the force field distortion hasn't disappeared yet, right?" ”
"That's right." Theo replied after a brief moment.
"Doesn't it seem that the reason for the phantom beast...
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light suddenly emitted in front of Ike, and after a rare slight vibration in the nearby space, the entire swamp calmed down again.
In his confusion, Ike had already walked back from there, his sword in its scabbard, and he seemed to have something in his hand.
"What is this..." Looking at the small pale blue flower in Ike's hand, Lloyd wondered.
"Theo can't feel the force field distortion anymore, does he?" Ike's face was a little solemn.
Without waiting for the others to speak, Theo nodded, who had already felt the difference, "After that burst of blue light just now, the space around here has stabilized, and the superior attributes have disappeared. ”
"Is it because of this flower?" Randy blurted out in surprise.
"I don't know, but nine times out of ten." Ike nodded, "Anyway, let's go to the location of the phantom beast on the other side first, this flower can't feel its power at all when I pick it, I need to go to the other side to see, if I guess correctly, there must be this plant next to that phantom beast." ”
“。。。 Then without further ado, let's go. Lloyd nodded, simply packed his weapons, explained the general situation to the members of the group who had been waiting at the door, and hurriedly drove to another sighting point of the phantom beast.
