Similarly, as a constructed creature, the Bronze Serpent has most of these creatures' traits, and effects like Mind, Toxin, Paralysis, Sleep, Disease, Death, and Shock have no effect on it. In addition, Heavy Hits, Bruises, Energy Drain, Attribute Damage, Attribute Drain, or the instantially dead effects of the Great Wound will not affect the Bronze Serpent.

The Bronze Serpent is immune to paralysis, the Tentacle is immune to electric shocks, and after the most effective spell attacks fail, a physical collision between beasts is inevitable. The Tentacle is a medium-sized monster that is smaller than the six-meter-long Bronze Serpent, and it continuously emits a flight effect, floating at a height of several meters above the ground. Generally speaking, it is not too high, after all, it is not a real flying skill, and it is not enough to support the ugly and vicious head too far from the ground.

Despite its large size and weight of 500 kilograms, the Bronze Serpent does not appear to be sluggish. Instead, it is as agile as most snakes, as powerful as pythons, adept at grappling, and its sharp fangs are powerful enough to be used even without the use of electricity.

Tang Mo had a total of five bronze giant snakes, and in order to make them easier to distinguish and command, he made special magic marks on them and named them separately. In view of the stubborn problem of incompetence in naming them, Tang Mo directly named them with numbers after thinking about them for a long time. However, the direct number 1 to 5 will seem to be too uneducated, and finally decided to name the one left for Cecil "five cakes", and the one that has not come back outside is called "four cakes", and the rest are of course called "big cakes", "two cakes" and "three cakes"!

"Flatbread" had already been sent to the front to explore the path before fighting the "white" and "red" mages, and entered the ruins first. However, no news has been brought back so far. Now it seems that these structures still have great shortcomings in intelligence, once they are out of the effective command distance, they can only mechanically execute the last orders received, and cannot flexibly respond to various unexpected situations.

The bronze serpent "Two Cakes" fiercely pounced on the largest tentacle monster, and the huge snake's mouth opened to the limit. Even an ordinary python can easily swallow prey thicker than its own body, and the "second cake" does not have to worry about the problem of jaw joint detachment, and the mouth of the snake that is open to the limit suddenly bites the "beak" attacked by the tentacle monster. Two long fangs popped out, like two sharp swords, "armor piercing" and "piercing"!

The fangs pierced into the upper part of the "beak" and exited from the bottom of the beak, like a bamboo skewer through a meat skewer, hanging the tentacle monster's beak on top of the fangs. The tentacle monster has more than a dozen tentacles covered with thorn barbs and claws, trying to suffocate it by grappling and wrapping around the opponent as it usually does with other prey, but unfortunately this time the tentacle monster has found the wrong opponent.

The Bronze Serpent usually has more than 25 points of strength and 28 points of agility, and is more than twice as strong as these ordinary tentacles in terms of strength, speed, and flexibility. The usual tricks of the tentacle monster completely failed at this moment, and the bronze giant snake easily broke free from the tentacles, broke several tentacles, and in turn wrapped its body around the upper part of the tentacles, approaching the location of the tentacle monster's head.

Several tentacles swarmed around, either with their tentacles or with their beaks, trying to cause a little trouble for the bronze serpent, but it was doomed to be in vain. Although the serpent's spell attack was ineffective, and it had no choice but to resort to primitive attacks, in terms of defensive capabilities, it was far from being comparable to the flesh and blood of the tentacle monster.

The magically refined bronze body was not afraid of the pecking of the bird's beak, and the sound of the crisp hitting of metal continued to sound, like a beautiful piece of music. But this didn't play a substantive role, and the "flesh and blood" scene that the tentacles were looking forward to didn't appear. This only angered the bronze serpent, and its body tightened more and more, and under the powerful grappling force, the body of the captured tentacle monster was overwhelmed, and the tentacles broke one after another, and large expanses of dirty blood gushed out from the wounds.

The huge head of the snake shook vigorously, and its fangs tore from its head covered with light gray muscles and wrinkles with its beak strung on it. At first, it was a small tear with blood oozing into it, but within a few seconds, the wound expanded rapidly, and the brain plasma and blood flowed down the wound. Eventually, a terrible scream came from the tentacle monster, and with this terrifying scream, the entire beak was completely screwed off the ugly head.

The greatly traumatized tentacle monster's whole body twitched violently, but the bronze serpent still did not stop attacking. In addition to the two longest fangs, there are also dense tiny teeth in the huge snake's mouth, and the snake's head burrows into the wound and keeps biting, bringing out pieces of flesh and blood from time to time. The tentacle croaked in pain, its breath quickly weakened, and it didn't take long for it to completely breathe.

The rest of the tentacles realized the strength of their enemy, and they quietly retreated, trying to escape. But the effect of the Dancing Light Technique had not yet dissipated, and the huge bodies could not be hidden under the light, and the originally effective hidden body movements looked clumsy and ridiculous under the light source, but they seemed to be at a loss to notice all this.

Several huge floating "octopus monsters" tiptoe like thieves, and their cautious appearance forms a strong gap with the huge ugly and hideous appearance, which looks strange!

Tang Mo reacted, the tentacle monsters are all blind! They have no vision, they can only determine the situation around them through smell and vibration, and it is difficult for creatures within 20 meters to escape their senses, but they do not include constructed creatures.

Before the battle began, Tang Mo was checking the blood stains on the stump on the ground, and the tentacle monster easily spotted him, but he didn't notice the bronze giant snake quietly guarding the side. These structures have no body temperature, no heartbeat, no breathing, and the bronze serpent in its stationary state does not exist in the sense of the "blind" tentacle. If they had discovered the existence of the Bronze Serpent in advance, they would not have attacked recklessly. Habitually, they will quietly follow behind in search of opportunities, or simply give up and look for new goals.

Knowing this, it was easy, Tang Mo tried his best to take his breath lightly, stayed still in place, and commanded another bronze giant snake "Three Cakes" to stop the tentacles from escaping. "Three Cakes" didn't wrestle with them, but just smacked these ugly heads with their powerful tails, one tail at a time, and soon the ground was filled with ugly monsters like sarcoma. They weren't dead yet, and this level of blow wasn't enough to make them fatal, but it was inevitable that they would not be able to move for a while.

These are just ordinary tentacle monsters, sometimes with enough food and suitable conditions, they will evolve into more powerful boss monsters, bronze-level tentacle monsters are not uncommon, even silver-level is not nothing. Tang Mo was very glad that they were the weakest here, if there were one or two bronze-level tentacle monsters mixed in it, although they could also be defeated, it was inevitable to spend more time turning their hands and feet, it was not what Tang Mo wanted.

The two bronze giant snakes took care of the remaining stunted tentacle monsters, Tang Mo was a little strange, these things only had big heads and long tentacles, where did the corpses of the mercenaries they ate eat? Or do they have a strong digestive ability, "melt in the mouth"?

Tang Mo shook his head and decided to put this disgusting question aside, he now needed to decide what to do with the remaining captives. It's not that Tang Mo didn't think about raising these monsters, anyway, mages always like to study all kinds of strange creatures, even if they turn themselves into some kind of monsters, it's not strange.

Compared to mages who exchange certain structures and parts of their bodies for parts of special materials, or the organs of certain creatures, necromantic mages are simpler, and their final choice ends up transforming the lich anyway.

However, after thinking about it, Tang Mo still gave up this idea, firstly, his current mage level is still too low, and there is no effective means of restraint to subdue the tentacle monsters, and secondly, the tentacle monsters feed on humanoid creatures, if you want to raise them, you have to feed them and what to eat? No matter how you think about it, it is all the behavior of villains, this kind of anti-human thing, Tang Mo is at least not interested in doing it now.

Thirdly, he didn't have enough time to do this now, and the situation in the ruins of the temple didn't know what it had developed, so in order not to be discovered by the earl and sent back to the surface, he deliberately delayed his departure a little, and if he was delayed on the road for too long, he would probably lose the trace of the earl's team. In that case, with his current mage strength, the danger of wandering alone in the ruins would be greatly increased. The wise choice, of course, is to quietly fall behind the count's team, at least most of the dangers ahead have been solved.

Shaking his head regretfully, Tang Mo had no choice but to order the two giant snakes to kill these tentacle monsters. However, before leaving, he collected some tentacles and dug out the magic cores hidden deep in their heads. These tentacles have no other functions, but they have a very good paralyzing effect, and they are chopped and ground into powder, and with special potions, they can be processed into good casting materials, which can greatly increase the effectiveness of spells with paralyzing effects.

The five tentacles were killed without resistance, and their tentacles were all well preserved. Coupled with the one he killed before, Tang Mo had collected more than sixty tentacles, but fortunately, after he became a second-level mage, the space inside the ring found in the mage tower had also undergone a wonderful change, which had increased a lot compared to before. Tang Mo didn't understand what this was, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that his previous ability was not enough, so he couldn't stimulate the ring's sufficient effect.

But there's a little more to be done before storing it. The organs and tissues of the monster must be treated to preserve them, otherwise they will quickly decay and deteriorate. Whether it is used to make animal fur for leather armor, or internal organs used as casting materials and other functions, they must be specially treated.

No matter which one it is, it is very time-consuming, and Tang Mo doesn't have much time now, but fortunately, there is still a way to save it temporarily. The necromantic spell "Preserve Organs" is such a special spell, and mages who study necromancy have a lot of dealings with various biological tissues, so this spell was developed.

Originally, this spell was seen as a symbol of evil, after all, ordinary normal people would not have a good idea when they saw a gloomy-faced, skinny, ghostly man in a strange robe, fiddling with strange unknown celebrities or animal entrails in his hands. Even in Youtan, it's not acceptable to everyone, which is really weird. Just as everyone eats meat, but the butcher who kills the animal is shunned and thinks they are cruel, the butcher himself may not feel that way in his heart.

However, later this spell was widely used in mercenary groups, and many of the furs and internal organs of the monsters that they couldn't deal with had time to deal with had to be given up or watched rot, which was a big loss! After discovering the advantages of this spell, the mages who served in the mercenary group would learn it, because it was only a level 0 spell, and even the mage apprentices could master it relatively easily. In a way, the creation of the necromancer was a boon to the mercenaries, adding a lot of extra wealth to them and feeding more people.

More than sixty tentacles, even if they are only temporarily preserved with a level 0 spell, it is not a small project. Tang Mo can process two or three tentacles at a time, this speed is already very fast, in order to achieve this speed, many places are only roughly processed,

The process of repeating an action is boring and boring. But imagining that when he had time later, he could make a large amount of paralysis magic powder and use paralysis spells on the enemy wantonly, and the refreshing feeling of killing all directions made Tang Mo quickly regain his strength and continue to work.

In the end, it took Tang Mo more than half an hour to solve the problem, and half of the magic power was consumed. Unexpectedly, on a certain tentacle monster, Tang Mo found a few small eggs, and the gray eggs were as disgusting as the color of the tentacle monster's brain. Although he didn't want to see them, in line with the idea of waste utilization, Tang Mo still put these eggs away for the time being, and then dispose of them when he had free time in the future.

The escaped tentacle monster was dealt with, and the road was finally unimpeded, and Tang Mo quickly followed the traces left by the battle into the periphery of the ruins.
