Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ghost-Faced Squid
"Lago!" Qin Lun shouted, didn't bother to remind the others, his left wrist flipped, and the evil dagger shot like black lightning towards the thief's vest in everyone's stunned eyes.
After shooting out the dagger, Qin Lun's right hand shook again, and the wind-chasing frost that appeared in his hand at some point made a "bang", transforming into a hideous ice chain with a metal beast claw at the top. This is another weapon form formed by the fusion of the Frost of the Wind weapon case with a dark blue claw chain.
The Frost Ghost Claw came first, and the metal ghost claw at the front end grabbed the evil dagger that had been fired earlier, and a disembodied black soul cord extended from the front end of the killing relic, which circled around the thief's waist and suddenly dragged him over.
Largo had no idea what was going on, and his face was blank. However, his face soon changed drastically, because at the same time as the soul rope pulled him, a huge object swept away the mist on the otherwise calm and waveless water, and swept towards the place where he was standing.
As the mist dissipated, everyone instantly saw the object with the help of the faint light emitted from Vinnie's staff. This is a tentacle that is tens of meters long and almost more than a meter in diameter.
This giant tentacle stretched out from under the water, looking into the distance, there was still a long distance from the shore, no wonder just now, when the fog was thick, Lago could only hear the sound of paddling, but could not really find its existence.
The tentacles didn't catch Largo, as if a little annoyed, and circled around the surface of the water for a week, and threw it towards the position where everyone was, causing everyone to jump and fly backwards in a hurry.
When the tentacles were thrown not far in front of everyone, everyone realized that this thing looked really a little infiltrating.
Its surface is covered with suckers the size of a washbasin. It is said to be a suction cup, but in fact, it is more like the huge mouth of a fierce beast, and there are three rings of sharp teeth neatly arranged inside. And the tip of the tentacle is more like a huge flower, with four forked pieces of fusiform flesh ~ petals full of jagged fine teeth.
Seeing this scene, Lago's face was full of joy, and he threw a grateful look at Qin Lun. If it hadn't been for the silver-haired elf pulling him just now, I'm afraid he would have been torn to pieces by the tentacles and stripped alive by now.
No matter what the thief's own strength is, there is no chance of winning against this kind of thing.
"Isn't that supposed to be...... Ghost-faced squid, right? Mastacia could barely believe his eyes, his eyes widening in amazement, and the camouflage paint on his face twitched with his cheeks.
"What's that?" Qin Lun asked cautiously while dodging.
"Oh? Oh! A sea beast, how could there be such a thing in the Land of the Dead, how could this be possible? Mastasha was a little incoherent, "Could it be that Bodean is here to guard the treasure?" ”
"Impossible, except for the gods, the powerhouses of the legendary realm do not have the ability to sign a summoning contract with this creature." Qin Lun thought about it for a moment, and immediately shook his head.
The continent of Faren is a magical world, and basic magical rules must be followed.
Qin Lun also has summoned creatures, and with such a large size of a legendary creature, whether it can sign a summoning contract is not to be said for the time being. The amount of mana it usually needs to maintain in the pet park is astronomical, and even the weaker gods can't withstand it, let alone the legendary powerhouses.
If it were a physical creature, Bodean would not have been able to carry it here, not even through the Guò Chongsa River or the Meandering River. If it is still a juvenile, there is a chance that it will be stocked here.
However, it is also too late for this sea giant beast to grow from a juvenile to such a large size, starting from the era in which Bodian lived~, at least in ancient times. What's more, if the legendary pirate was going to use it to guard the treasure, how could he bring only a young giant beast with him?
"Then there is only one possibility, the meandering river and the Oisa River are connected to the ocean, and when it was a juvenile, it migrated here along a certain river channel and groundwater network." When Mastassia calmed down, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She had never seen anything like it, and the harpist's vast adventures had helped her, but at some point it had also imprisoned her mind. Of course, the swampy environment could not have given birth to such a sea behemoth, because the water depth and width were not enough.
But the Land of the Dead is no ordinary swamp, and who knows what happened here in ancient times. Several epic wars also mean that this area has been bombarded by countless forbidden spells, and it is entirely possible to leave a huge and deep lake behind.
Back then, in the battle between the Jondar elves and the Jondas Kingdom, didn't the elven mages also use forbidden spells to bombard a Vihong Sea connected to the Falling Star Sea in the north of the Jondas Kingdom?
There have been so many epic wars in the Land of the Dead, so what's the big deal about leaving a pit that can feed the sea beasts.
"Stop talking nonsense, where are you going?" Rick shouted at the two of them, and the usually calm knight also looked a little irritated at this time.
He didn't regret taking on this hiring task, so he rushed to Qin Lun to rescue Winnie and Largo three times and twice, even if time went back again, he would rush over to help. It's just that he really doesn't want to die here, not because he's afraid of death, but because he still has a lot of unfulfilled wishes.
"If it's a full-fledged ghost-faced squid...... Mastasia's face showed a hint of bitterness, and he slowly removed the longbow from his back, and said with a ashamed expression, "It's my fault this time, we're too deep into this lake, I'm afraid we're already surrounded." Run, I'll try to buy you a little more time!" ”
"Surrounding?" Everyone was a little surprised, and they each looked back at the calm highland elves, could this thing still live in groups? There's really no way to survive that!
"You'll know later, I'll open a passage for you, remember, there's only one chance, don't look back!" After the highland elf finished speaking, he directly closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing rate, and the expression on his face was extremely resolute.
Qin Lun looked at the calm Mastaxia, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. I don't know if there is an illusion, this "big" beauty who has always been grinning and has a rough personality actually made him feel a strange beauty after having the intention of dying.
"Woo~~" After several unsuccessful attacks, a dull sound like a horn came from under the water of the lake. Then the surface of the water began to boil, and a "mountain" dozens of times larger than the wild bull rogue was exposed.
"It's ugly!" The "mountain" that emerges from the water looks like a triangular pyramid, and the first impression to everyone is that it is ugly.
The tentacle itself is a creature that resembles a spear squid or squid, but if you look closely, it is different from a spear squid. Except for a plate in its body, the gun squid is actually a mollusk, and the sea monster in front of him is not.
The surface of its body was covered with lake-green scales, each the size of a millstone, protecting the behemoth's body like a layer of armor. The tip of the head is as slender as a spear, and like the ramming angle of a sail battleship, with a bright reflection like metal.
Now Qin Lun knew why it was called the Ghost Face Squid, and on the front of its triangular pyramid head, there were parts similar to human facial features.
However, in addition to the eyes, there are only three black holes left in the nose and mouth, and there is actually a slender plate in the center of the black hole representing the nostrils, which looks like a twisted skull, isn't it just like a ghost mask!
At the same time, everyone also knew why Masasia said that they were surrounded.
After the body of the ghost-faced squid was revealed, everyone realized that its tentacles were not only longer than they had seen before, but also more than one. In addition to the few tentacles waving in front of them, dozens of meters behind them, there were seven or eight other huge tentacles, which were quietly swimming towards everyone like giant pythons.
It dawned on everyone that it was no wonder that Mastasya was at her fault, that the dirt road leading to the middle of the lake was a decoy that sent everyone to the mouth of the ghost-faced squid like chopsticks.
The highland elves knew that there were legendary creatures here, but they failed to find this obvious flaw, and brought everyone into a desperate situation, so they blamed themselves to the death.
"You really can't underestimate these ancient beasts, they are smarter than many intelligent races." Qin Lun's eyes flickered, looking at the ghost-faced squid in front of him, he understood more things.
The lake may have formed naturally, but the few dirt roads that run through the middle of the lake are probably not. If the lake is deep enough to support a sea beast, the dirt road that outcrops the surface of the water is almost like a steep cliff in the underwater part.
There is no such terrain in a swamp environment, and it should be transformed by the ghost-faced squid himself. As I thought earlier, these dirt roads are its "chopsticks".
Unlike the wild bulls and hooligans encountered before, on such a narrow dirt road, the tentacles of the ghost-faced squid enveloped them like a net pocket, which was almost a desperate situation.
"Do you want to use it?" Hill was on the team channel and asked seriously.
"Well, the Highland Elves can't die yet, let me do it!" The person who answered was not Qin Lun, but Rand, and the fireworks showed excitement on his face, and he took out a simple magic scroll from his arms.
"Bringing these two things can enhance the control power!" Qin Lun raised his hand and threw two items to Rand, which were his Iron Cross and the Chain of Yuelun.
The Chain, a bright gold item, has a passive effect called Gaze. Wearing this ornament can get the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, reducing the need for skill casting, and strengthening the accuracy of skills, which is just the right time to use.
As for the Iron Cross, at this time, it is not about its attribute amplification effect, but another equipment effect that enhances the magic power of one of the Apostle's active skills!
"And this one, it can reduce your mana cost!" Hill smiled and threw over a bracelet-like piece of equipment.
This is the magic bracelet he got a long time ago when he killed the ghost warrior Michelle in the illusion world, which is basically the same as the ghost cage hand, sucking blood and sucking demons, weakening the enemy while helping to restore himself.
"So are you ready for the fireworks show?" Rand grinned, tugged at the black leather gloves on his hands, and tore open the magic scroll.
