Chapter 268: The Temple of Kepicro (2)
Void creatures resemble normal creatures, but their organs are different from those of normal animals. For example biquge.infobiquge.info, their noses, in the eyes of the void creatures, flesh and blood are useless excretions, and what they need to survive is energy, and the higher the energy, the better. Therefore, in the astral plane, the void creatures are the great enemies of the astral travelers and even the gods, because the energy of all those who can travel in the astral plane is very high-end. This energy particle is captured by the noses of the Void creatures, and these hungry wolf-like creatures will swarm in.
However, in this closed temple, the abilities of these void creatures have degenerated, as have the organs they use to capture the energy particles of the outside world. Fortunately, this was the case, otherwise Chen Kai and the others would face the attack of the Void creatures in the entire dungeon after entering the dungeon. After all, compared to the negative energy in those bone shelves, fresh vitality is the best guarantee for the survival of void creatures.
But at this moment, the void creature opposite Chen Kai and them was a little special, or a little timid. For it did not rush impatiently after seeing so much fresh life energy, but stood there cautiously and observed with its blue glowing eyes. Its movements are so strange that it seems to turn around and run away if it is intimidated at the slightest bit.
Looking at the strange behavior of that void creature, Chen Kai and the others all felt a little puzzled, but in order to prevent the other party from raiding, they all focused their eyes on this void creature. There is nothing wrong with this method, and it is the safest way to carefully observe the opponent in order to be safe before knowing the opponent's strength. It's just that Chen Kai didn't notice that when they were staring at each other tightly, in the blind spot of the eyes above their backs, small black gaps were slowly opening up there.
You must know that the greatest ability of the void creatures is not that they absorb energy, but the means of passing through the void, although the pressure of the human space itself makes it impossible for these void creatures to open the space at will and return to the astral boundary, but it is still possible to attack by breaking through the space at a certain distance for a short time. In particular, the tentacles on their bodies were originally specially used to break through the spatial barriers, and they can be changed at will, so this is their best tool to sneak up on others.
So by the time Chen Kai and the others found those tentacles, the attack of this void creature had already hit the spellcaster and priest who were supposed to be firmly protected in the first place. According to the situation in the past player battles, the tentacles of the Void Creature can launch two attacks, one is the energy attack, that is, the Void Ray, which has a penetrating power of 5 and is a penetrating energy spell attack. Generally speaking, if you are hit in the head by this spell, you will definitely die, and you will not be able to die again. As for the other one, it is to directly hit or entangle the target with tentacles, once it is entangled by the tentacles, then the magic and even the vitality in the body will be quickly sucked away.
As for Chen Kai, the attack they encountered was relatively lucky compared to the unknown death, maybe it was because the energy in the body was not enough, or they disdained to use the Void Ray, the sneak attack of this void creature was mainly based on the tentacles wrapping around the target, and five or six tentacles that rushed out of the small spatial cracks rushed directly towards the protected caster.
The first to be attacked were Xu Fei and Bai Shasha, who were the most energetic in the eyes of the void creatures, one of them was an arcane master and the other was an elemental mage, and they were almost 2,000 points in terms of magic power. Among them, Xu Fei's mana value is slightly lower than Bai Shasha's, after all, he has spent more time on alchemy in the past month than on meditation to accumulate mana. This also led to Xu Fei being attacked a little bit more than Bai Shasha at night, and of course only a little.
When the first tentacle suddenly appeared from behind Bai Shasha and began to entangle the other party, Xu Fei saw the appearance of the tentacle. By the time he tried to scream, he himself had been entangled in tentacles, and the disgusting tip had been inserted directly into his mouth, making it impossible for him to speak. Well, everyone knows that those tentacles are disgusting when they are salivating, so when the slippery tentacles are stuffed into his mouth, Xu Fei feels like he is about to collapse.
"Not good," the word popped into everyone's minds, especially the warrior who was standing in front of him ready to resist the attack of the void creature was even more depressed. Chen Kai had never seen such a cunning creature, and at the same time, the other party's strange ability made many beads of sweat ooze from his head instantly. However, Chen Kai didn't have time to sweat, he knew that as long as he was in a daze for one more second, the lives of several spellcasters would be threatened for one more second, especially Xu Fei, who had been seriously injured, and now his eyes were white.
It's just that now Chen Kai and the others don't know how to attack, whether to slash those tentacles or attack directly at the body of the void creatures. After a short period of sluggishness, Chen Kai immediately stopped rushing towards Xu Fei, and directly turned around and swung his giant sword towards the body of the void creature to kill. At the same time, Su Xinghe and Xuehaifeng also made the same movement with their weapons, because they both found that the void creature could not move its body when using its tentacles, or it could not move when it used its tentacles to travel through space.
Therefore, at this time, Chen Kai and the others thought of a way to save Zhao from Wei Wei, and at the same time, they could also give the other party a great blow in an instant. After all, isn't a void creature that can't move the best target? It's just that this fixed target is not so easy to bully, you must know that there are less than five tentacles that sneak attack Xu Fei, and there are as many as ten tentacles around the tiger-shaped void creatures. These tentacles looked thicker than the sneak attack on Xu Fei, and they seemed to be still converging an energy.
These blue energies quickly converged at the tips of the tentacles, and slowly opened towards Chen Kai who rushed over. With the sound of breaking through the air, seven or eight blue rays of light shot towards Chen Kai and the others, and the speed of those blue void rays was so fast that even if Chen Kai and the others saw it condense with their own eyes, they would be extremely hidden. All the rays hit the ground, leaving a finger's width but bottomless hole in the ground.
Of course, compared to the power of these rays, what made Chen Kai even more headache was the speed of its shooting, and when they dodged the first round of attacks, it was followed by another round of void rays. Although the number of rays in this round was not much, there were only two or three, but it was extremely accurate, or it calculated the landing point of Chen Kai and them before they began to release attacks.
Chen Kai touched the three dents on his breastplate to protect his heart and took a deep breath, if it weren't for the fact that his armor was strong enough and also had protection to reduce spell damage. It is estimated that those three rays will directly penetrate his armor and shoot him through the heart. But even if those three void rays didn't penetrate Chen Kai's armor, that impact alone was enough for Chen Kai to drink a pot. Each ray inflicted nearly 300 critical damage on Chen Kai, and the three of them instantly slashed his health by nearly a thousand points. Of course, if these three rays hit Zhao Tiezhu's body, it is estimated that there will not be such a high damage, after all, Zhao Tiezhu's defense is much higher than Chen Kai's now.
However, the void creature's void ray can only shoot two rounds, after all, this kind of extremely energy-consuming attack, and what the void creature lacks most at this time is energy. So when he saw that Chen Kai couldn't kill the opponent after hitting Chen Kai three times in a row, this void creature decisively stopped using it and began to use another attack method to hinder Chen Kai's attack. This method was the same treatment that Xu Fei and the others had received, that is, they used long tentacles to wrap around and restrict Chen Kai's movement.
It's just that before it launched an offensive, it felt a pain in the tentacles used to entangle Xu Fei in the distance, and then felt that the tentacles that had followed it for thousands of years had been cut off. You must know that even though this void creature has become weakened due to lack of energy, its skin defense is still unusually high, and this defense is what all void creatures rely on to survive in the astral plane. Otherwise, the environment of the astral vacuum will tear the energy out of their bodies, and then turn them into scraps in the void. So it was very surprised that its tentacles were cut off, and this tiger-shaped void creature was very surprised, but it hadn't recovered from its surprise, and there was a piercing pain on the tentacles in the distance again, and another tentacle was directly cut off.
"Whew~~" With a roar of anger and pain, the original pen was playing, and the immovable Void Tiger instantly withdrew its tentacles, and small cracks appeared in the space around it, and four or five tentacles were withdrawn from these cracks, two of which were cut off. At the moment when the tentacle was recovered, the Void Tiger's body also erupted with two damages, each of which was above a thousand points, and instantly cut off nearly one-twentieth of the Void Creature's health bar.
"Ahem" The first thing the rescued casters did after being released was to cough while holding their necks while constantly pouring healing potions into their mouths. You must know that in just a few seconds, their bodies and vitality were sucked away by nearly six or seven hundred points. For the mages who were already anemic, the loss of these blood almost took their lives. The most unlucky Xu Fei had fainted directly the moment he landed, and the blow he received was too great, after all, not everyone can accept the fact that a slippery tentacle was stuck in his mouth.
Seeing that several spellcasters were injured but unharmed, Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze immediately turned to the Void Tiger who was about to go berserk. After having no worries, Chen Kai can play with this monster well, of course, using the blade of his giant sword and the other party's brain. It's just that Chen Kai's movement speed is fast, but someone is faster than him, and when the Void Tiger was still screaming for the tentacles to be cut off, Xuehaifeng had already raised his heavy sword and slashed at its head.
He appeared so suddenly that even Su Xinghe, who was standing next to him and was with him, didn't see clearly how Blood Sea Peak had managed to get to the Void Tiger's side. As for the Void Tiger, it was even worse, until the door of the head was hit, and it was still depressed, how could someone suddenly appear on top of its head. As for how Blood Sea Peak appeared on the top of the Void Tiger's head, Chen Kai saw a clue when the other party landed, it should be a martial art similar to his phantom body that is specially used to increase movement speed. It's just that this kind of martial art doesn't have the means of transforming the shadow of the phantom step, but is similar to the sprint technique of sudden explosion.
When the Blood Sea Peak landed, his feet would stomp heavily on the ground, and a depression would appear directly on the ground that he had stepped on. As for his body, it instantly catapulted back under this reaction force, dodging the attack of the Void creature who was enraged by the severing head he had chopped off. However, this technique seems to be very physically draining and vindictive, and when Xuehaifeng appeared beside Su Xinghe, the sweat on his head was enough for him to wash his face.
"This thing's skull is really hard enough, and it didn't even have anything to do with my sonic heavy attack" Xuehaifeng used his explosive sprint part combined with the heavy slash technique he learned from Anderson to create a skill, using high speed to increase the power of the slash, and in the past, this sword would at least shatter a few pieces of the target's bones. But now the Void Tiger was just shaking its head, and the tentacles that were chasing him were almost grazing his body.
"No matter how hard you are, you have to cut down the pillar to withstand the attack," Chen Kai drank a bottle of healing potion to recover the lost health a little, and then raised his giant sword and slashed at the Void Tiger. In front of him was Zhao Tiezhu, who had become a humanoid tank, and at this moment, his whole body was exuding an earthy yellow light, pushing his shield and rushing towards the void tiger at high speed.
"Bang" came with the first impact sound, and Zhao Tiezhu's shield began to make intimate contact with the Void Tiger. It's just that the first thing he touched was not the other party's body, but those tentacles with salivation, especially the tentacles with mouths stabbed towards Zhao Tiezhu from different directions, and also tried to bite his body.
It's just that Zhao Tiezhu's armor is too hard at this moment, and the hidden texture close to seven points of hardness makes this armor's defensive ability almost ignore all of Chen Kai's weapons. Even Su Wan's dragon spear couldn't pierce this armor, not to mention that the armor was also attached to the earth armor, which was so strong that all the tentacles' attacks ended in failure. The thumping sound did not reduce Zhao Tiezhu's speed in the slightest, but made all the attacking tentacles sway.
Seeing that the tentacles of the Void Tiger were attacking Zhao Tiezhu, Chen Kai and Su Xinghe immediately seized the opportunity to raise their weapons and try to slash those tentacles. It's just that they didn't cut off the tentacles with a single sword, but they almost got the weapon out because they were entangled. At this moment, Chen Kai and the others finally had a true understanding of the defensive power of this void creature, and they finally understood how difficult it was for Su Wan to cut off those two tentacles. In fact, if it weren't for the two tentacles that were very tight, Su Wan wouldn't have cut them so easily, and now Chen Kai and the tentacles they were facing were even more entangled and not easy to cut.
But even if it is not easy to cut off Chen Kai, they must cut it, otherwise they will be entangled in the tentacles, and then they will be sucked alive and drained of their vitality. Especially after seeing Xu Fei's appearance, Chen Kai didn't want to be entangled by those disgusting tentacles. Therefore, after the first attack failed, he and Su Xinghe retreated one after another to escape from the attack range of the tentacles, and then killed the main body of the void creature from the other direction.
It's just that Chen Kai and the others will be beaten back by tentacles every time they advance, and they can't move forward with three or four tentacles, so they can only be blocked three or four meters in front of the Void Tiger. Of course, this Void Tiger itself was not having a good time, and the spellcasters who had recovered began to release spell attacks on it, except for Xu Fei, who was still unconscious, and several mages at this moment were holding back a fire in their hearts. They had never suffered such a big loss, and they were almost hung up by such a disgusting thing.
Therefore, the spell attack of several casters was the highest-end spell they could master at the beginning, and He Liwen and Bai Shasha were directly a tar hell of combined spells as soon as they made a move. Before the Void Tiger could react, it directly surrounded it with burning flames. When the Tar Inferno with its massive flame blast struck the Void Tiger, everyone saw its resistance to spells. The flames that rose into the sky and the cone-shaped flame shockwave only scraped through the opponent's body, and the damage to its body was not as great as Su Wan cut off the two tentacles. When the flames disappeared, the total damage accumulated did not even reach 500 points, which almost did not make He Liwen and Bai Shasha, who had spent a lot of magic power, angry to death.
Of course, the spells of the two of them are still good, Wang Xuewen and Huang Dao's spells didn't even knock off a little skin, but just symbolically deducted a little bit of life. This situation made the casters who were holding their breath and preparing to retaliate almost vomit blood en masse, because it was so devastating.
"Bastard, how can there be a fourth-order creature with fourth-order spell resistance, what kind of setting is this" Wang Xuewen looked at the void creature and almost threw his staff on the ground in anger, you must know that what he is wearing now is not a tabula rasa robe, but a blue attribute equipment. This robe has a certain power bonus for secret spells, but even with this bonus, his arcane lightning still only caused 20 damage, which made Wang Xuewen embarrassed.
"Sister Xiaowen, why don't you try the curse" Feifei Wong pointed to the two tentacles that fell on the ground and said, these two tentacles still maintain a certain degree of activity, constantly beating on the ground.
"Okay, I'll try" He Liwen's eyes radiated a cold light, she directly grabbed the two tentacles on the ground, and then took out a white skull from her backpack. There was a green smoke emanating from the top and bottom of the skull, and there seemed to be worms burrowing around there. When He Liwen took out the skull, the insects quickly wanted to crawl out of the skull and crawl towards He Liwen's hand, but before they could crawl out, a green flame surrounded the skull, and then the green flame continued to surge, and it was nearly thirty centimeters high on He Liwen's palm. When the flames were soaring, He Liwen also threw two tentacles into the flames.
The tentacles that were originally more than one meter long began to burn slowly the moment they touched the flames, and the speed of this burning was very slow, and at the same time, when it was burning, He Liwen's mouth also began to slowly chant the spell, and a trace of black magic patterns continued to climb up along the tentacles, and behind it was the spreading flames. When He Liwen's last spell word fell, the two tentacles instantly exploded into two green tongues of fire that continued to fly on He Liwen's palm. He Liwen directly flicked her palm towards the void tiger, and the green flame fell on the other party without any difference.
These green flames extinguished the moment they fell on the Void Tiger, as if they had never appeared, but when everyone thought that He Liwen's spell had failed, two green flames suddenly appeared on the two severed tentacles, and then these two flames burned towards the body of the void creature at an extremely high speed. For each distance burned, the Void Tiger's health decreases by nearly 100 points. Of course, the green flame didn't burn for a second, and He Liwen's magic power dropped by nearly 100 points, which was completely using He Liwen's own magic power to ignite those flames. But even so, the power of this curse is terrifying. Of course, this side effect is also very scary, and He Liwen's palm is basically unusable for a period of time, because it has completely turned burnt green.
