Chapter 202: Precursor to Destruction
"So we're dealing with a monster that can disguise itself as someone else?"
"Skinners, a kind of monster included in the canon, they have no skin themselves, so they are jealous of all creatures in this world that have skin, their hobby is to collect the skin of their prey, and they also have a special skinning technique, which can separate the skin and flesh of their prey intact, quickly and well, and even ensure that the prey does not die immediately after peeling off the skin, in addition to this, they can also put the peeled skin on themselves, and at the same time change their bones and muscles, becoming the appearance of their prey. ”
After hearing Rob's understatement, Gage almost didn't vomit the breakfast he had just eaten.
"In other words, did you meet a skinner in the freshman arena?" Luo Luo was more concerned about what his next opponent would be.
The future Ultra Magister shook his head, " It's a little wrong.,Skinners aren't too difficult to deal with.,Although they have a ferocious habit.,But the degree of intelligence is relatively low.,Generally most of them live in the mountains and forests.,The target is some small beasts or animals.,Even the monsters rarely provoke.,Won't attack humans so often.,Not to mention that its targets also include some third-order professionals.,Their physical fitness is not very colorful.,Do you remember the second part of the footprints?,I just figured out why that part of the footprints looked so weird.。 ”
"Huh?"
"The thing Ginny encountered behind the dunes, its athleticism is far beyond that of ordinary people, that's why the spacing of those footprints is so outrageous, scattered everywhere, and as far as I know, skinners don't have that terrifying athleticism, their physique is stronger than a cheetah at best, but not to the extent of exaggeration, and there is one other thing that I mind. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The purpose of that guy's attack on Ginny. ”
According to Pete, the thing attacked Ginny seemingly for the boots on her feet. ”
"So we're having a skinner who has changed his habits, and we're going to leave the skinning business and start collecting boots?"
Rob sighed, "Have you ever wondered if we found Ginny with a boot on her foot and a boot behind the dune before, where did the second part of the footprint on the ground come from?"
Lolo was stunned when he heard this, yes, if that thing didn't grab the boots, then how did the second part of the footprints come about? The would-be magister hadn't told the girl about the other set of footprints that he found later by the spider's lair, and that thing had apparently completely "owned" Ginny's footprints.
Or it's possible that the thing is actually going for the boot, but it doesn't need to actually get the boot, which means that as long as there is a reference, it can directly change the size and shape of the foot to simulate the shape of the boot. Rob's expression also became unusually serious, "As far as I know, only the Quint arthropod has this ability to change its body at will, but that kind of bug has no attack power. ”
Luo Luo wondered, "So what are we going to deal with later?"
His Excellency the future Supermage couldn't seem to answer this question, and after a long silence, Rob suddenly said, "Unless this is a creature that has never existed in this world. ”
............
"There are no creatures that have ever existed in this world?" Claire frowned.
The man smiled," The Wizards Association stopped a forbidden experiment five hundred years ago, in which the magicians forced different kinds of magical beasts to mate, wanting to artificially create a more powerful magical beast, in the original assumption, the new magical beast could inherit both the spell bits on the male and the spell bits on the female, which would make it more powerful, but unfortunately the vast majority of new magical beasts often failed to develop and were stillborn, and the few who survived not only did not evolve but also declined to varying degrees, neither the physique nor the spell bits were comparable to its parentsJust as the magicians were about to find out the reason further, the Magicians Guild stopped the experiment, on the grounds that it was too inhumane to the demonic beasts being tested. ”
"I think I've heard about it. ”
"But you must not know, although the Wizards Association stopped this experiment, but this experiment has aroused the interest of the Inquisition, there is a monster prison built in the Inquisition, which holds many monsters that have been extinct in the outside world, so the materials they use to do experiments are also extraordinarily crazy, compared to Warcraft, these monsters are stronger, and the environment in which they grow is more harsh, so they tend to be more tolerant of extreme situations, and the survival rate of the offspring bred by mating has been significantly improved, but unfortunately most of them are still inferior to their parents, but the hard work pays offAs the samples continued to expand and the number of experiments increased, luck finally came, and some of them completed their evolution and metamorphosis as expected, and at the same time inherited the advantages of their parents, becoming stronger and more cunning, but the Inquisition was not satisfied with this, and they began to try to breed the third generation of ......"
Hearing this, the old man's face finally changed, "What are those guys trying to do? Are they planning to create demons in the world?"
The man sighed, "Sometimes I can't figure out what those crazy people want, but it is undeniable that many of their methods are indeed useful, and they seem to be even less patient than me, this monster sent into the freshman arena is the fourth generation they have cultivated, once it grows up, even I can't resist it, and then these people in the freshman arena will probably not escape death." ”
"You're also a teacher at the Siamus Academy, so you can't bear to watch these teachers and students of the academy die here? Claire frowned.
The man said indifferently, "This is not something I can control, I and the Inquisition are only cooperative, we help each other, but we can't stop each other's actions, you also said, if you can get the secret of eternal life, then the so-called friendship and family are not worth mentioning in the face of a long time, besides, Siamus is always that person's Siamers, and this crisis is also something he should consider, so if I were you, I would hurry up and ask him for help, if it's too late, I don't know how many people will die here." ”
Claire looked into the man's eyes and sighed, "Madness is a precursor to destruction, you have no idea what you are dealing with, and you and your allies are doomed to fail." ”
