Chapter Forty-Eight: The New Secret Puppet (I)
Isla said that he would wait until the battle was over before he went to help Gleilynt get a secret puppet, but in fact, he found Gleilynt just after eating early hair the next day.
"If we leave now, will there really be nothing going on?"
"It's okay, I didn't know that you had a 'spiritual travel' before, so I was afraid of delaying time, so I plan to help you get a secret puppet after the war."
Yesterday, when I used the "banishment" of the "Arcane Chain" to fool Wardhouse, Admiral Wardhouse said that I had such a thing as "teleportation". Gleilint nodded abruptly, and guessed:
"Admiral Wardhouse can reach you directly?"
"That's right, it's okay to be within a few hundred miles, so we can rush back to fight at any time, as long as we pay attention not to consume too much spirit when we make secret puppets.
This should also have been a basic awareness of hunting monsters. In the ancient deep forest, it is very dangerous to consume more than half of the spirit, and you must face the danger and deal with it at all times...... At least the ability to escape.
Well, I've got clues to several monsters here, what kind of secret puppet do you want? ”
I want them all!
Taking a deep breath, Gleilynt didn't say this disgusting thing, but used words instead of thinking and analyzed:
"The 'lawyer' path really doesn't have any extraordinary abilities for attacking, so I hope that the more lethal this secret puppet is, the better, and the more stealthy it is."
This is his own shortcoming that he is most eager to make up for at present, but he didn't expect Isla to interrupt him first:
"I must warn you that the more powerful the monster, the less time we can effectively control it, and the more likely it is that the mystical will fail.
Also, it's better to be more specific about your goals, and the 'lethality' can be particularly powerful against a target, or it can be a toxin-type extraordinary ability that is good for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers in the area.
Hehe, I said I have clues to several monsters here. ”
To be more explicit?
Gleilynt frowned, and tried to say:
"Of course, it's a monster that kills a single target."
His military position is in MI9, like this one, personally leading troops into battle, after all, it is a rare situation, and it is too inhumane to use the extraordinary ability of range toxin to target ordinary soldiers.
Isla nodded, repeating his previous request:
"Concealment, right? Well, have you ever heard of the 'Hunter Mantis'? ”
"'Hunter Mantis'?"
Needless to say, Isla could tell from his puzzled expression and tone that he had never heard of such a monster.
After a few seconds of silence, he organized the language and said:
"Sequence 5 of the 'Hunter' path is called 'Reaper', and although I've never really seen its recipe, I'm sure there must be some materials for the 'Hunter Mantis' in it, because this monster is so similar to those 'Reapers' that I know very well."
The families currently in charge of the "Hunter" path are the Einhorn family of Fersak and the Sauron family of Intis. In the southern continent, the colonies of these two countries are adjacent to Rune, and even if there is no war in peacetime, there will be no less friction. Considering that Isla happens to be Sequence 5, Glerint can fully imagine how many "Reapers" he has come into contact with.
"This monster is similar in shape to the praying mantis we usually see, but it is one size larger, and the scythe is ten centimeters long, not counting the forefeet.
Its body is as hard as steel, a dark red color of rust, and it has a pair of very sharp scythes that can easily cut through stones, and this scythe seems to correspond to one of the Reaper's extraordinary abilities, and the effect is equivalent to a weak point attack no matter where it hits the target.
In addition to this extraordinary ability, it also has a pair of blood-red compound eyes that can spot the target's weaknesses from a occult perspective and attach a certain amount of precision when attacking, thus dealing terrible damage.
It has an extremely strong jumping ability, can easily jump up to the height of four or five floors, and the bounce speed is very fast.
In addition to bouncing close and stabbing enemies, it has a pair of thin, transparent wings just like the normal praying mantis, but it cannot take off and can only be used for short gliding. ”
Gleilynt heard a little strange, in addition to the extraordinary ability of the lower sequence, this is already a complete "reaper", does this monster eat another main material or is it like the "Mind Dragon", born with a complete extraordinary characteristic of a certain sequence level?
But there's nothing to find fault with, this is the secret puppet that suits him perfectly!
"That's it! How should we find it? ”
Although he does not have the trait of a "conspirator", since this guy is called a "hunter", he is not an ordinary bug without intelligence, he can only be a prey, not a hunter.
Isla smiled:
"Do you have the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Hunter' path?
It's easier to do if there is, these monsters are naturally hungry for the extraordinary properties of the same path, in order to be able to complement themselves.
Using the extraordinary characteristics of the same way as a bait, it will definitely be fooled, after all, it is just a monster without reason, even if it is cunning enough, it cannot restrain its instinctive desires.
If not, I can sell you a copy. ”
Sell me a copy?
Glerint keenly grasped the meaning of his words, wasn't this extraordinary trait just used as bait?
"I have a copy of the 'Pyromant' trait, can I use it? And also...... Do you really want to give it this extraordinary property? Isn't it just a matter of luring it out? ”
"The arsonist."
Isla's forehead twitched slightly when she heard this, and she only felt that Glelint's net worth was really expensive, and the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 said that if you use it as bait, you can directly use it as bait.
If you want to catch a "Hunter Mantis", in fact, only one copy of the "Hunter" trait is completely sufficient.
He nodded in the affirmative and replied:
"It can be used, and it should also give the last secret puppet the ability to control fire, this monster absorbs the extraordinary characteristics of the lower sequence very quickly.
This extraordinary trait is indeed used as bait, but doesn't it take a certain amount of time for you to control the 'Hunter Mantis'? It's quieter when it's 'eating', and with the bait, it finds out that we don't have to waste our extraordinary abilities to limit it before you try to manipulate it, and we can save the more powerful extraordinary abilities for later.
Well, by the way, how long will it take you to fully turn it into a secret puppet? ”
This question was very difficult for Glerint to ask, he took the "chain of trickery", theoretically speaking, it only takes 3 seconds to preliminarily complete the control of the target spirit line, and 15 seconds to completely transform it into a puppet.
But he was not at all an extraordinary person in this way, and was relatively unfamiliar with the manipulation of the spirit thread.
It's not that you can be more proficient by manipulating more, it's that the way is different, there is no corresponding spirit trait at all, and there is no problem in manipulating the puppet at ordinary times, but it is more difficult to transform the secret puppet. Moreover, the body structure of the "Hunter Mantis" is relatively simple, and the number of spirit threads in it is definitely less than that of humans, which is also an unpredictable difference.
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure I'll be able to convert it all in a minute."
As long as it does not leave itself 150 meters within a minute, and is not interrupted by external forces, it can be completely intimate.
"One minute...... I'm 'confused' in the direction of its escape, will it affect your control? ”
Isla flicked his fingers subconsciously, he liked to use the steel flute corresponding to the "Fallen Earl" more and more, even more than his own extraordinary ability.
"Yes, it's an external force acting directly on it."
"Direct action ...... external forces"
Chewing on Glerint's words, Isla asked instead:
"And what if I twist its intention to escape? Let it 'actively' circle around you? ”
"That's fine."
"Alright, we'll go to the Ancient Deep Forest in the afternoon, I know the general range of that guy's activities. Hey, the magical items corresponding to the 'Secret Puppet Master' are really good, it is relatively easy to get combat power that exceeds your own sequence level, and it does not have all kinds of negative effects like magical items. ”
He sighed, shook his head and said to himself:
"But it's only a little easier to deal with irrational monsters, if it's a human with a companion and wants to turn him into a secret puppet, it's basically impossible."
