383 Underground reservoirs
Zara is a shapeshifter, a very rare humanoid creature that can transform into any creature they have ever seen.
Wood is a shapeshifter spider who, like Zara's shapeshifter, can transform into any creature they've ever seen.
Two very rare shape-shifting creatures, I don't know why they met in this underground ruined city, which made them the best partners, one of which Zara was responsible for going out yin* "prey" back, and then Wood was responsible for setting up an ambush, and when Zara entered the trap with the prey, it jumped out and ransacked the prey with Zara.
Don't look at Wood as just a strange spider, it has a far higher intelligence than the average human, which allows it to speak the lingua franca of humans, and even has a natural warlock ability, able to release a variety of spell abilities: stun, illusion, silent illusion, sleep, etc., these abilities, so that when it is ambushed, it can make the prey brought back by Zara lose consciousness without knowing it, and be looted by them.
It's a pity that the previous invincible tactics were broken by this mage with two female priests, which made them very puzzled, and they didn't know where they showed their feet.
"It's very simple, first of all, the name 'Zara' doesn't conform to the naming habits of elves, and in addition, although your changing appearance is very similar, you don't have the slightest natural aura on your body."
Wutong smiled and said to Zara: "The biggest flaw is that when you used your [Detect Thoughts] and [Charm Humans] abilities against me, after being hindered by my resistance, you were exposed to panic, and you couldn't know my next move, so you couldn't follow my thoughts to induce me, which made you a little overwhelmed, didn't it?" ”
After a pause, Sycamore pointed to Wood the Shapeshifter who had turned into a half-elf girl next to him: "And in the bazaar, you deliberately dragged us so that your companions could wait for an opportunity to ambush, but when you saw that I had bought a lot of dangerous items on the black market, you became very nervous, because you were afraid that I would use those dangerous things against you, right?" ”
Zara was deflated, and the wood next to her stood behind Zara, although it could change its appearance like Zara, but it could not imitate emotions and expressions, which is why among them, Zara was in charge of yin* prey, and it was responsible for setting up ambushes.
"Well, in that case, what are you going to do with us?"
Zara asked very honestly, it didn't dare to make any small moves now, the power of the Cannes family in the underground ruined city was not something that a small shapeshifter like it could compete, once it offended the Cannis family, then it and its spider companions would have no place to live, there was no doubt about this.
And this Excellency, who is a nobleman himself, is also a mage of the terrible Venanene Academy, and is the target of the Cannes family's intentions, and the Cannes family will not mind killing two insignificant little bugs to show favor to him.
Therefore, for the sake of your own life, it is safer to be honest, after all, judging by the attitude of this mage, it seems that they did not intend to kill them because they tried to rob it.
"It's simple, be my servant and serve me until I'm satisfied," Sycamore said with a smile.
Zara's eyes widened, is this punishment? The two of them, the little monsters living at the bottom of the dark underground ruined city, can actually become the servants of the nobles? This is something that those noble knights and lords dream of, right? A lot of words, is it just that Lady Luck kissed herself?
Zara quickly pulled Wood to his knees, bowed her head deeply and bowed in submission, not every humanoid has a chance to become a servant of the nobles, and even if there is, it is those powerful warriors like bear goblins.
Becoming the servants of this nobleman is an excellent opportunity for Zara and Wood, two low-level non-human creatures who depend on the human world to survive, and it is also thanks to the new nobleman Wutong, who has not yet gathered any talents and subordinates under his command, to give them this opportunity.
"Well, you don't seem to be the right person." Sycamore looked at Zara's frightening appearance and touched her chin unsatisfied.
Although Zara and Wood are not humans, they rely on the ability to [detect thoughts] to live on their aesthetics and preferences for human beings, but they are more thorough than humans themselves, and as soon as Sycamore's words fell, they transformed into a beautiful elven girl who was identical to each other, leaving Sycamore speechless for a while. ...,Well,Although I don't want to admit it.,But a pair of beautiful elf girls as subordinates,It's far more pleasing to the eye than a shape-shifter who looks like an alien and a big spider as a subordinate.,As for elf girls or something,Don't humans like beautiful women? In terms of appearance, elves are indeed more in line with human aesthetics, which is why Zara chooses to transform into elves most of the time when she is yin* prey, and she is the most beautiful high elf among the elves.
"Master, this underground canal leads to the nearby underground reservoir, but there are a lot of underground creatures living near the underground reservoir, which is very dangerous, are you sure you plan to go there with only our manpower?"
The delicate and touching elf girl speaks in a crisp voice like a crystal wind chime, and calls you "master", which is indeed a pleasing thing to the eye, which is extremely lethal for an otaku, but when she thinks of "her" as she is, Wutong can't help but feel a chill, the picture is too weird.
Zara quickly stepped into her role, assuming herself as a servant of Sycamore, and said very seriously: "I suggest you recruit a group of orc warriors or half-orc warriors in the bazaar, although they are very dirty and vulgar, but they are still very qualified to be used as cannon fodder." ”
Sycamore thought about it for a moment and felt that there was no need for that, because their goal was to detect the ghouls' movements, not to eliminate them, and as long as they found evidence of the ghouls' activities in the underground reservoir, there would naturally be an enforcer knight to take care of the follow-up.
The group of "five people" soon walked deeper underground along the underground canal, and Wutong released a first-order spell [Detect Undead Creatures], while Lingyue Frost Snow and Xiaoxiao alternately released magic [Detect Necromancy], and the information returned proved that they were constantly approaching the area infested by undead creatures.
The damp smell in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and the moss on the walls and ground is becoming denser and thicker in the abandoned underground canal passages, and a large number of gelatinous monsters who like humid environments are infested here.
In the lighting environment of [Dancing Light Technique] without dead ends, these big snot balls hidden on the ceiling have nothing to hide, and they don't use the sycamore to do it at all, and Zara, the head snake, can easily destroy them, far from being as embarrassed as before.
It uses an alchemy material [fierce caustic soda] bought from the bazaar, and when it touches the gelatinous monster, it grabs out a handful and spills it out, and the mist [fierce caustic soda] formed will soon turn the whole body into an acidic colloidal monster, corroded into a puddle of turbid liquid.
If you don't die like this, once the [Fierce Flame Solate] comes into contact with the fire, it will burn violently, and the gum monster will completely evaporate
The closer they got to the underground reservoir, the more giant mutant snakes, insects, rats and ants appeared, but the danger was not high, which made everyone busy and sent away these little monsters, but when they approached the underground reservoir quite closely, these little monsters seemed to disappear en masse, and none of them were gone, obviously entering the territory of the ghouls.
"Oh my God, it's disgusting" walked out of an underground canal, and a foul smell rushed to their faces, almost fainting them, only to see a huge underground reservoir like a lake, piled up with a large number of all kinds of strange corpses, there are humans, orcs and other underground residents of the ruined city, there are also fierce rats, monitor lizards and other animals, of course, the main thing is animal corpses, including some ordinary versions of mouse corpses, piles and piles are piled up along the underground reservoir to let them rot.
The pus that flowed out after the decomposition of a large number of corpses gathered into a stream and flowed into the clear water of the reservoir, seeing this scene, who does not know the reason why the plague cannot be eradicated?
"Who did this?" Lingyue Shuangxue, who covered her mouth and nose, said in a sullen voice: "It's terrible, it's like hell"
"Who else could it be"
Wutong took out a few bottles of [anti-epidemic potion] and distributed them to everyone, and within a few minutes of being in this environment, they all appeared in a state of [epidemic], which shows how bad the situation here is.
"I mean, how many ghouls do you have to kill so many creatures and pile up corpses here?"
Lingyue Frost Snow drank the [Epidemic Suppression Elixir], releasing holy light purification on everyone, forming a circle of light composed of holy light around their bodies, protecting them from the epidemic, and the terrible smell in the air seemed to be isolated, making everyone much more relaxed.
Of them, only Morph Spider Wood seems to be unaffected, as it is not human itself and is not affected by the plague that humans fear.
Moreover, if you pay attention to it, you will find that among the large number of corpses, there are no large mutant insects, which means that ghouls do not eat insects either.
Ling Yue Shuangxue's scalp was numb and said, "How long does it take to purify these corpses?"
"As long as there is a ghoul, it can create a large number of [ghoul derivatives] as a subordinate I'm worried, among these ghouls, there will be more advanced 'demons', everyone be careful"
Sycamore released a [detect undead] but strangely did not find any undead nearby, it seems that after the "tragedy", the ghouls have left here, after all, the vast majority of undead do not like water, so I am afraid it will be difficult to find them in the vast underground ruined city-
Trouble: I went to the class reunion yesterday, but I'm still dizzy now, so depressed In addition, even the beautiful female classmates of the year are gone, and I remember those lovely girls back then~......,
