"Operation Raccoon?" Ulysses looked at the squad leader beside him with some curiosity, it turned out that this operation also had this special code name.

"Haha, because looking for this monster this time is like looking for those raccoons who always love to steal things, the focus is not on the monster itself, but on how to find it. With Ulysses joining, the team leader's confidence in this mission is 100%, and only the question of how to find the prey remains.

In the gloomy sewers, the silence is broken by the sound of human footsteps, and the creatures that live in the sewers have fled into their nests, waiting for the threat of the sewers to leave.

For these extremely simple-minded creatures, the human mercenaries who enter here from time to time to clean up too many monsters are undoubtedly the strongest foreign enemies here, the kind that are too strong to fight.

They cling to the garbage generated by human cities, but they are also the least popular thing for humans. There used to be many cities that wanted to completely destroy these low-level monsters, but no matter how completely they were destroyed, they would reproduce again after a while.

The garbage that humans discharge into the sewers is their natural cradle.

This time, though, they weren't cleaned up like usual, and the team wasn't aiming for them, but something more powerful and wouldn't waste time on them.

The soft white glow illuminates the damp sewers, dispelling the darkness and bringing a warmth that has never been seen before in the sewers.

"Ulysses, this magic is much better than the illumination crystal. The team leader looked enviously at the aura whose lighting range was ten times that of the ordinary lighting crystal, and with this, he was afraid of night battles.

Moreover, since just now, he found that his body was lighter than usual, and his walking speed was at least ten percent faster, which meant that this aura also had other auxiliary abilities.

"yes, that's good. "Ulysses is also using it for the first time, and it seems to work well, this magic called the Star Ring is a large-scale auxiliary magic, gentle and inclusive, and it is also the basis for a series of powerful starry sky magic.

Even though it's underground, the stars are shining just as well.

"Can you tell us more about that monster?" Ulysses found some unusual traces on the way here, which gave him more speculation about the true nature of the monster.

"Okay. "The team leader also saw those traces, which didn't look like low-level monsters like slimes could make them.

No one knows exactly when this monster appeared in the sewers, and the first time anyone came into contact with this monster was about two months ago, a soldier in charge of checking the condition of the sewers.

The monster attacked him, and according to the soldier's recollection, he didn't even see what the monster looked like, he was tied up by something like a tentacle, and then lost consciousness in an instant.

By the time he came to his senses, he was lying in the drain of the sewer with nothing left, almost drowning.

Since then, news has come out that people who have entered the sewers have been attacked, and the accounts of the victims are all similar, all of them were attacked by tentacles without being able to react, and then passed out.

The highest-ranking of them was a fourth-level swordsman, who had entered the city with the usual task of clearing the sewers, but what happened to him was almost no different from that of the previous victims.

Exactly the same sudden attack, exactly the same tentacle entanglement, except for guessing the size of the monster by the size of the tentacles, it can be said that everyone knows nothing about this monster.

Where it came from, what kind of breed it came from, whether it was in the sea or in the sewers, and what it was for attacking humans without eating it, many questions cast a deep fog over this monster.

Although no casualties have been reported so far, this monster of unknown origin has caused extreme panic among the people of the city. At present, the news of the sewer monster is still semi-closed, but rumors have been spread everywhere, such as the rumor of a tentacle in the toilet bowl that has been told to be true.

This urgent mission came into being, entrusted to the largest mercenary group in Taji City. Since there were no real casualties, the level was not the highest red, but the bounty was not small, and the three major mercenary groups all took over this urgently issued mission.

"I don't eat people, but I attack people, and after the attack, I let them go. Ulysses also found the monster's movement pattern very strange.

Generally speaking, monsters will attack most of them for several reasons.,It's not to eat people.,It's just to vent.,Like this kind of attacking people but letting go of the general play.,I can't think about what the motive is.。

And let a fourth-level swordsman faint without even having time to react, which means that this monster is quite fast, and its strength may be level five or six, no wonder the team leader is so cautious.

Along the way, Ulysses noticed subtle marks on the walls and ceiling, which were unusual.

Thus, in Ulysses's mind, the image of the monster had a completely new change.

Tentacles, haste, and possibly some kind of toxin, sea serpents?

Just as Ulysses was thinking, an unusual aura caught his attention from the corner shrouded in the star ring.

"Be careful!" Ulysses could finish his sentence when a tentacle reached out from the dark corner around the corner, quickly wrapping around an orc warrior at the back of the group.

The muscular orc warrior, whose endurance for any attack was much higher than that of humans, didn't even have a chance to make a sound, and his eyes lost color, and he was instantly stunned by the tentacle.

"Whew!" a lightsaber shot out from the aura around Ulysses, cutting off the tentacle accurately.

The severed tentacles quickly recovered, and then vanished into the darkness.

"Bang!" At this time, the orc warrior's body fell heavily, the thick black rubber suit and gas mask did not play any role, and it was completely vulnerable in front of the rapidly outstretched tentacles.

At this time, the team leader had just turned his head and saw his fallen teammate.

"Holy! The team leader pulled up the fainting team members, in order to fight against the elusive monster, he specially prepared these equipment, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss in the first contact.

He had never seen the monster at all, and if it hadn't been for Ulysses' voice, he might not even have noticed that his brother had been attacked.

"What, are you coming?"

"I don't see it at all, do you see it?"

"No, it's just too fast. ”

The members of the squad looked at each other, they didn't even know what had just happened, they only heard Ulysses' "be careful", and then when they turned around, they only saw their fallen brothers.

"O gracious and good God of Radiance, I am here to pray to you, to make a wish to you, to extend your hand. Human blood is blood, flesh is flesh, bone is bone, please use your power to repair them!" Coming to the fallen orc warrior, Ulysses directly used the highest level of healing.

Obviously, the team leaders didn't know what level of healing technique Ulysses was using now, they just looked nervously at the brother who was shrouded in white light, waiting for him to heal.

"Hey...... Ulysses, who is a healer, noticed something wrong.

The orc warrior who was attacked by the tentacles did not have any injuries on his body, either external or internal, nor any signs of damage to his bones and muscles, just like all the people he knew who had been attacked by monsters.

However, this does not mean that the monster is weak, in fact Ulysses found that it is an extremely powerful monster.

Because, it used a high-level spiritual attack, and it instantly stunned the orc warriors whose will was much stronger than that of humans.

This is the effect of "Psychic Shock", which is quite a high-level magic, and judging from the attack process, the monster actually launched this attack in an instant, stunning the orc warrior.

"He's fine, just go back and get some sleep. Ulysses stood up, the effect of the psychic shock was directly aimed at the psychic level, and all the healing applied to the ** was meaningless.

The human mind's ability to heal itself is very powerful, and sleep is the best way to heal this injury.

However, this does not mean that this attack is weak, in fact, the instantaneous stun effect is extremely terrifying. Just think about being attacked and instantly stunning, and everyone will understand what a deadly threat it is.

Ulysses picked up the half of the tentacle that had been severed by the Starlight Sword he shot, and then suddenly froze.

Because it wasn't the slippery, sticky tentacles he imagined, but a soft fragment of emerald green.

"Plants?" Ulysses remembered that the tentacles he had just seen didn't feel like this, they were the attack organs of a ferocious carnivore, not the green fragments he had now.

However, if it's a plant, it's not that it's unreasonable, and it can be explained by not eating people. Many powerful plants have special abilities, but they are not interested in eating meat.

"Ulysses, do you see the true face of that thing?" The team leader looked at Ulysses with some anxiety, only Ulysses found out about the attack just now, which was both lucky and unfortunate.

Ulysses could see and react, which meant that he could fight the monster, and that they didn't even react after the attack, meant that they were all derelict in their duties, especially as the leader.

"No, only the tentacle. Ulysses stood around the corner and looked at a hole in the wall that had apparently come out of the hole and launched that attack in the shadows of the corner.

Fast, accurate, one-hit, and, more importantly, silent, even Ulysses was only aware of it when it launched its attack.

Such a monster, the current Berserker Legion squad is definitely not an opponent, Ulysses made a calm judgment. It's not that he underestimates these familiar mercenaries, it's just that the level of such monsters is beyond the limits they can deal with.

Without him just now, the monster would have stunned the entire team, and the power of the psychic shock is not something that ordinary armor can resist.

However, now that he knows the opponent's attack method, Ulysses, who is a light magician, is not without a way to deal with it.

"Peace of mind is spirituality, and the light of spirit is with us. Ulysses briskly recited the sixth-level light magic he had learned at the Radiant Academy, and more than a dozen white light shields appeared on every member of the orc team.

This is the "Aura Shield" of light magic, which has superior defense against all types of psychic attacks, and is recognized as the strongest defense and support of light magic, but it's not just talk.

"The enemy is not paralyzed by toxins and electricity, but by psychic attacks, so be careful. Ulysses reminded his companions of the characteristics of their opponents' attacks, lest they accidentally get hit again.

The Aura Shield can indeed greatly increase their psychic defense, but it is definitely not omnipotent, and if you don't know what the opponent is attacking, it is very dangerous.

"Psychic attack!" As soon as they heard this term, the faces of all the orc warriors behind their masks turned bitter, and the tough orc warriors were never afraid of face-to-face fighting, even if it was a dragon on the opposite side, they had the courage to rush forward.

But this kind of invisible and untouchable thing is going to kill them, and it can be said that one of the opponents that orc warriors are most reluctant to face is the kind of powerful monster that loves to play with the mind.

Fortunately, this kind of monster is a very small minority, and most people will not encounter it once in their lifetime, so it is not a threat.

Unexpectedly, in this sewer, such a monster actually appeared.

"Don't worry so much, this kind of attack seems to be performed through that kind of tentacle, and the speed of that tentacle attack is not too fast, but you need to be careful of sneak attacks...... And the shield I gave you will defend against their psychic attacks. "Ulysses cheers everyone up.

"Also, everyone keep moving forward in a circular formation, don't give the tentacles a chance to sneak attack, there are so many of us, as long as we keep our concentration, we don't have to be afraid. "The squad leader trusts Ulysses' judgment, after all, he is the only one who has noticed the other party's sneak attack.

"Well, that's it...... Ah......h

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could feel that from the dark hole around the corner, several breaths similar to the one were jumping out together.

That's right, it's the same monster just now.

"Here they are, ready for battle. Just by glancing at Ulysses' expression, the squad leader judged the situation and gave the order to fight.

"Come on, monster!"

"I'm waiting for you!"

"We want to avenge our dead brother!"

"Iron Will is still there!"

The blood of the orc warriors boiled and they took up their weapons and entered a state of excitement.

In silence, the mysterious one finally appeared in front of everyone.

Not slime slimes or sea snakes, they resemble skinned frogs, there are three of them, their bodies glowing blue, and a slender tongue sticking out of their mouths, twisting like snakes.

One of them had a tongue missing the previous part, and it was clear that this soft tongue was the true face of the "tentacles" and the culprit who launched the psychic shock.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The moment the three blue-skinned monsters appeared, several walls suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the entire underground waterway.

Immediately afterward, they attacked.

Before they could fight, the orc warriors were confident in their skills, although they were facing unprecedented monsters, but since they were monsters that played with their minds, the other parts were obviously not very strong, didn't Ulysses also say that the speed of their attacks was not too fast, and it was only because of the sneak attack that people would be unguardable.

However, the orc warriors with high fighting spirit soon couldn't cry anymore.

The speed at which the tentacles attack was not very fast—Ulysses had said that, and in his eyes the tentacles were only strong in sneak attacks, and the speed was only barely.

However, that is the "reluctance" in the eyes of Ulysses, which is the speed seen by Ulysses, who has already reached the realm of zero, has a perception of speed that is ten or hundreds of times that of ordinary people, and can fight with all his strength in the state of ten times the speed of sound.

And for the team whose combat strength is generally between the fourth and fifth levels, and most of the enemies they face are in this range, the attack speed of the blue-skinned monster is no longer a "fast" word that can be described.

Before they could even swing their weapons, their entire bodies were pulled up by the long tongues, and they directly started zero-distance contact with the monster.

Under the protection of the aura shield, the orc warriors will indeed not be stunned instantly, but this feeling of being killed in seconds before they even have time to react makes their hearts burst in fear.

My God, this is not a pleasure! The orc warriors had only time to think before they were pulled by their tongues, and then pressed against the slippery skin of the blue-skinned monster, enjoying the closest hospitality.

Because of the protection of the aura shield, they were exempted from the tongue's psychic attack, but they were subjected to another psychic attack.

It was the fear of facing a monster that he couldn't fight, but in the first round of fighting, everyone knew the gap between themselves and this kind of monster. This is a monster that can only sneak attack, but a super monster that can wipe them all out with a frontal one.

The team leader had participated in the battle to besiege and kill the murderer, and he was sure that any of the three blue-skinned monsters would be far superior to the murderer. At the beginning, the murderer killed half of the main force of the three major mercenary groups, but he definitely didn't have this kind of speed and sense of oppression.

"Bang, Bang, Bang!" Like frogs catching flies, the three blue-skinned monsters only stuck out their tongues a few times before pulling the entire orc squad to their side.

No, there was one more person, only this one who avoided their tongue attacks, and this was the only one who was able to see them attack.

"Ulysses, run away, report what happened here to the church, we're done!" roared the team leader hoarsely, he had no hope of completing the mission, the strength of this blue-skinned monster was too terrifying, just one was enough to slaughter their entire beast legion.

"Don't worry. Ulysses smiled, and with a flash of figure, he approached them faster than the blue-skinned monsters.

Then, the three sounds of "Whew!", "Whew!", and "Whew" were like the sound of a light breeze.

"Whoa!" three blue-skinned monsters were sliced open in the middle, and green liquid flowed all over the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang!" In an instant, the orc warriors, who had been greatly damaged in mind and body, all sat down on the ground and began to gasp for air.

In fact, the battle lasted less than five seconds from start to finish, but for these well-trained orc warriors, it could be said that they had experienced a long time, and it was a cycle from hell to heaven.

When they were pulled by the tongue of the blue-skinned monster and instantly pulled to the monster's side, everyone thought they were dead. Even though there were only three monsters, their attacks were so fast that any of them could react, and all of them were disarmed and restrained to the monsters without any weapons being cut off.

Except for Ulysses, only Ulysses saw their attacks, dodged their attacks at will, and then cut them down even more casually.

The feeling of ease and simplicity even made them think they were dreaming, but the corpses of the three blue-skinned monsters on the ground just fell there, telling them that it was definitely not a dream.

Ulysses...... How did you get it......" The team leader was the first to come to his senses, and he stammered at Ulysses, who was studying the walls, thinking that he had seen a miracle.

"With a sword, in fact, I have also practiced swordsmanship recently, and my results are not bad. Ulysses told the truth.

"Not bad...... "The team leader looked at Ulysses speechlessly, Ulysses' melee ability used to be, he knew very well, he could fight ten Ulysses at a time without any problem.

And the blue-skinned monster just now, there is no problem with one that can hit him a hundred. In this way, in the moment just now, Ulysses missed him by three hundred seconds...... This is definitely not an exaggeration, in fact, he didn't even see how Ulysses moved just now.

The monster appears—they fight—they all lose—Ulysses kills the monster in seconds, and this simple gradual formula represents the current Ulysses' terrifying strength.

Although I heard that the sixth-level light magician is very strong, is it really strong to this extent? What kind of magic can strengthen Ulysses, who was originally a rookie in melee combat, to the point that he can kill this blue-skinned monster in seconds.

Looking at it like that, even if there is another group of blue-skinned monsters, in the eyes of Ulysses, it is only the difference between three frogs and six frogs.

"Sure enough, this thing is a plant. After studying the magically constructed walls, Ulysses walked over to the corpses of the three blue-skinned monsters.

After being cleanly dismembered by Ulysses, the muscles and blood of these monsters have changed to a different shape, a plant-like texture, and the characteristics of living beings can no longer be seen.

"Whether it's a plant or not, this guy is terrifying. ”

"yes, I was caught just now before I could blink, it was just scared to death. ”

"What is the structure of this tongue, how can it stretch so fast? ”

"I can't beat it, I don't have to fight at all. ”

Around the corpses of the three blue-skinned monsters, all the orc warriors came to a surprisingly unanimous conclusion.

They weren't any match for such monsters, and even one of them could wipe them out — not Ulysses, of course.

In the eyes of these orc warriors who advocate strength, Ulysses is the biggest monster, and these monsters are three frogs compared to Ulysses.
