327. The Muppet Bear and the Five-Colored Mantis
After Ye Ziyun activated the seal card, the deck of the supply ship was lit up with four colors of light, rendering the whole scene full of dreamy colors.
However, none of the audience at the scene were attracted by the beautiful scenery. In the legends about the sea, in addition to a variety of powerful sea monsters, the most common ones are all dangerous creatures that are good at using illusion abilities. As people who have lived at sea for a long time, they have already cultivated a firm mind, and they will not be moved by the wonderful scenery. Because everyone on the ship knows that for the sea in this world, emerald green is the main color, which is the color of the World Tree, and the rest of the colors represent anomalies. In such places, anomalies often mean danger as well.
It was only at this moment that the onlookers suddenly realized that Ye Ziyun was not simple. Before, they had been paying attention to his figure who had been forced to be embarrassed, and even if it was the counterattack just now, except for those who had been on the front line, most of the rest of the people just regarded Ye Ziyun's counterattack as luck.
The four-colored light quickly faded, and five insects of different colors appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The triangular head, a pair of sickle-like forelimbs, and conspicuous physical features allowed everyone to quickly judge the species of these five insects - praying mantis. It's just that the five praying mantis in front of me are obviously a little weird. This is not to refer to their size, although they are indeed larger, but in this world, it is not uncommon for insect monsters to be larger or even larger than the five praying mantis in front of them. Insects are the most abundant group in the world. Whether it is mutated by protists or from the fantasy world, there are indeed all kinds of strange things.
But in either case, among the mantis-type monsters currently recorded by humans. I really haven't seen anything like this! As predatory insects, the body of praying mantis has generally evolved into various camouflage mimicry or protective colors, so that it will not be detected lightly when approaching its prey. Even some brightly colored species mostly live in an environment that can completely disguise themselves, which can be regarded as beautiful due to special environments.
But what's going on with these five praying mantis in front of you? Green, blue, red, yellow and gray, except for some parts of the body with some different color patterns, the whole body is almost a solid color! What kind of special environment does this have? What makes such a thing? And what's even more bizarre is that the size and posture of these five praying mantis are so similar, if it weren't for the fact that the colors of each other are too different from each other. People may even think that these praying mantis are actually the same species......
Just when people were still struggling with being refreshed by the five-colored mantis, there was already a fight on the field. Although this is only an entertaining exchange, as long as the captain who is a notary has not announced the end, then until one of them falls or admits defeat. The battle will not end.
Five-colored praying mantis. This is a kind of storage zĂ i that is recognized by the majority of players as a "national pet" in the game of the Cross Gate. They have a strong attack power, although the amount of blood can not be compared with the special blood cow pet, but it is enough for them to survive in high-intensity battles, plus the agility that is not bad and the attributes of different types combined with all four systems, so that they can be used in various wild monster fights and boss battles. Suffice it to say, as a Cross Gate player, most people's first pet is definitely one of the five-colored mantis when they don't have a friend to play with.
Although they are sold very cheaply in the game. But it's also one of the few pets that are most likely to level up to the top as the player progresses. As a mass commodity, the reason why praying mantis can reach this height is naturally ability. As an insect monster. With the exception of certain people with unique hobbies, few people would choose praying mantis as a pet because of their appearance.
But even in the face of the siege of five praying mantises, the bear puppet was able to fight well. The quick victory that Ye Ziyun expected did not appear, and the situation of the battle became stalemate for a while.
Although Chen Xing's bear puppet looked like that, Ye Ziyun had to admit that it was indeed very tricky. The bear puppet with patches of cloth of various colors on its body didn't seem to have much combat power, but after actually doing it, Ye Ziyun found that this thing was actually difficult to deal with. It can always react to the attack of the five praying mantises when it comes, or dodge the attack with various strange abilities, and even when it can't dodge, it will emit various colors of energy to form a shield or shield to block the mantis' knife arms.
In addition, this bear puppet has a strength that is not inferior to Chen Xing's boxer. Its small furry hands contained immense power, and each attack even carried a violent sound of breaking through the air. If it weren't for the fact that it was a puppet with short hands and short feet, and the agility of the praying mantis was not bad, the praying mantis of Yeziyun would definitely have to suffer, and it would definitely be uncomfortable to be hit by the fluffy and fluffy little hands.
It is precisely because the attacks of both sides are difficult to work for a while that the current battle situation will be in a state of stalemate.
What's more, Ye Ziyun found through spatial perception that the energy on this bear puppet was very mixed, except for some magical elements that were obviously similar to the four elements, Ye Ziyun also found the breath of the soul on it. This aura is not a specious energy that Ye Ziyun has not actually come into contact with like a magic element, but something that Ye Ziyun has actually come into contact with.
Because of some unpleasant experiences encountered when he first arrived in this world, Ye Ziyun was deeply impressed by this soul breath. That's right, this soul energy belongs to the void! When he first discovered this, Ye Ziyun almost thought that he had encountered something terrible, such as transforming his soul or something. But after some careful investigation, Ye Ziyun found that the source of this aura was actually just one of the patches on the bear puppet's body!
It was a small piece of black cloth, and it looked very shabby. It's like going through a long period of placement. If it weren't for the fact that the aura on it was unique enough to attract Ye Ziyun's attention, this small black patch would definitely not have attracted Ye Ziyun's attention. In the pile of colorful patches, the small, inconspicuous pieces of black cloth are all too easy to ignore.
After discovering such a situation. Yeziyun changed his strategy. He first let the yellow red-eyed mantis and the gray dead ash mantis entangle Chen Xing, who is the owner of the bear puppet, the red-eyed mantis's yang fire skills are good at dodging, and the agility of the dead ash mantis is the highest among the five-colored mantises, and it is the most suitable to use it to entangle the boxer whose agility is not low.
Although this was done so that Ye Ziyun could better observe the bear puppet, it also caused the praying mantis besieging the bear puppet to get into trouble. Originally, when it was five against one, it didn't make any achievements because of the weird ability of the bear puppet, but now it was divided into two at once, and the praying mantis, who couldn't get used to the change in attack rhythm for a while, took two blows.
Fortunately, Ye Ziyun gave simple instructions before transferring the Red Eye Mantis and the Dead Ash Mantis out. Therefore, the two attacks of the bear puppet were taken over by the deadly mantis with the thickest blood among the five-colored mantises. The reason why the blue deadly mantis is called the deadly mantis is not to say how deadly its attack is, in fact, the attack growth of the deadly mantis is the second to last among the five-colored praying mantises. Second only to the Dead Grey Mantis, whose growth has been divided by the Agile item. Praying mantis pets are all direct attackers, and they are not actually good at status attacks.
However, the origin of this name is explained in the Bestiary, and the reason is because this praying mantis... It likes to suck blood. As a very representative mantis monster among carnivorous monsters, the deadly mantis likes to suck blood, but it seems a bit unusual.
But it is precisely because of this. Makes the Deadly Mantis a monster with an innate ability - vampiric attack. This skill works just as literally. Able to suck the blood of enemies while attacking to restore one's own body. Although the general impression of sucking blood is to use the mouth to suck it, under the effect of this skill, the skill user can directly absorb blood through various parts of the body, or the energy converted from blood, making this skill a magic skill that can be used to attack and recover.
As the one with the thickest blood among the five-colored mantises, and with such a good skill, it is understandable for Ye Ziyun to let it act as a temporary shield. However, there are times when Yeziyun miscalculates. Vampiric attack, since this skill has such a name. Then the condition for it to take effect is naturally the need for blood. But that little bear puppet ......
I finally got a chance. The Deadly Mantis took advantage of the gap created by the Bear Muppet because the other two companions used the "Combo" skill to launch a continuous attack, and slashed the Bear Puppet with his knife arm. Because of the previous continuous combos, the Bear Muppet was unable to connect its various evasive defenses for a while, and had to resist the long-planned attack of the deadly mantis.
"Tear~!"
The sharp arm of the deadly mantis made contact with the body of the puppet bear, making a sound of the cloth tearing. The Deadly Mantis's blade arm glowed with an aqua blue glow with a blood-red glow, the result of the blood-sucking attack.
After the first hit, the Deadly Mantis quickly retreated, dodging the "fist" that followed by the Bear puppet. However, the deadly mantis that successfully hit the enemy with its attack did not change at all, and it did not replenish its body at all due to the bloodsucking attack. A pair of tentacles on its head drooped, showing the depressed mood of the deadly mantis at this time.
This situation was really beyond Ye Ziyun's expectations, he didn't expect that the Deadly Mantis's blood-sucking attack would actually fail in this kind of battle. Although he knew that this was true with the Vampire Attack skill, it only happened when the enemy was defending and his own team was unable to break it. This is clearly not the case now, not to mention the screeching sound that the bear puppet made when it was slashed just now, the cotton that protrudes from the hole cut by the deadly mantis's knife arm is enough......
Well? Cotton? Ye Ziyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately found the problem.
The Bear Muppet is a Ragdoll, and although it looks strange due to the patches, and although it can attack and seems to have a high attack power, it is a Ragdoll, a puppet made of cloth and filled with cotton. As a pure puppet, under the cloth that served as the epidermis, it was completely filled with cotton, and there could be no blood at all. Without blood, it is impossible for a bloodsucking attack to have the effect of restoring the user of the skill. After all, this is just a skill, although its effect is very good, but it is impossible to achieve the wonderful process of sucking cotton to restore the user's body......
But Nima, this is too, isn't it?! Why does a puppet that looks like a kid's toy move? And how can that kind of body completely filled with cotton have such a powerful attack power! Are you kidding me?! This is very unscientific! It's unscientific, isn't it?!
At this moment, Ye Ziyun already knew that although the puppet opposite was called a pet by Chen Xing, it should actually be classified as "equipment". Puppet equipment is also known as puppets. Although they are capable of having the same appearance as ordinary creatures, they are not flesh and blood. Although they are often used as companions by their wielders, they have no sense of pain or fear, so they can often exert 100% of their strength in battle, unlike pets in the general sense of the word, which can be injured and have various conditions.
However, according to the information that Ye Ziyun knew before, the equipment of puppets was very rare, and it usually did not appear in the hands of anyone other than the maker. Could it be that Chen Xing is still a puppet master? Otherwise, with his identity as a small crew member, how could he get other puppets of the card machine? That boxer's professional certification doesn't look like it's fake, what the hell is going on?
After figuring out the situation of the bear puppet, instead of feeling relieved, Ye Ziyun found that the doubts in his heart became more and more. The guy who was being chased up and down by two praying mantis was maybe more than just a boxer.
When the fire of gossip was burning, Ye Ziyun did not relax his observation of the bear puppet. Because he already knew that this thing was a puppet-type equipment, he was more detailed when he probed.
It is precisely because of the meticulous observation that Ye Ziyun discovered something interesting again. (To be continued......)
