An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 140 Beholder
"The hag knows the petrification spell. We saw a poor man turned into stone in the swamp before. This spell is very vicious."

Speaking of petrification, Weier remembered what he saw and heard in the hag's lair.
A living person is trapped in a stone and cannot move.

"Shh! Quiet! Let's go now, move fast!"

Suddenly, Ma Long's expression became solemn and he quietly urged everyone to leave.

They have entered a monster's territory. It's best to escape quietly before the other party notices the intruder's arrival!
Hearing the seriousness in his words, everyone stopped staying and walked back the same way!

Especially knowing that these stone statues are all transformed by humans, I don't want to stay any longer.

But before he had taken two steps, Scratching seemed to smell something special, and he suddenly stopped and barked at the deep, dark ditch on the side of the road!

Woof! Woof woof!

The next second, a large black object slowly flew out from the deep ditch, hovering just above the path everyone left.

Blocking their way...

Several people with dark vision could clearly see what was coming up.
Even if there is none, you can still see a rough outline that is not too obvious.

"What the hell... stand back!"

Karak opened his eyes wide and kept moving back,

"What is that? Tell me what exactly did you see?!"

Gale was forced to step back and asked anxiously.

At this time, Shadow Heart quickly chanted a spell and cast a spell, and then a luminous sphere floated above everyone's heads! Dispel all the darkness around you!
With the light, the mage finally saw clearly what was blocking the road...

"Damn it! Beholder?!"

The beholder is a monster with a strange structure and is not on the main material plane.

The whole thing looks like a human head, with a huge one-eye on the front and a huge mouth filled with three rows of sharp teeth.
On the left and right sides, there are two tentacles and eye stalks with eyes.

The surface is covered with a black, chitin-like shell.

"...The eyes of this damn thing are really big!"

At this point, Asteron was still commenting humorously.

"Everyone! Don't stare too closely..."

huh~
Before Gale could finish speaking, the beholder condensed and instantly emitted a very fast magic ray through the tentacle eyes on both sides!
Head towards Karak at the front!

At this critical moment, Ma Long quickly grasped the hilt of the sword behind his back,
Suddenly, the sword's delicate texture and inscriptions glowed faintly golden.

A pleasant and comforting chirping suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and then the beholder's ray hit the target's body.

Karak did not choose to dodge, not because he was slow to react but because there were teammates behind him.
He got out of the way, but someone still had to suffer...

When the ray hit his chest, Karak first felt an unbearable itching of his skin and stiffness in his limbs, but soon the abnormality improved immediately!

In the end nothing happened.

Seeing this strong man resisting the magic ray, Gale was shocked.
But she knew very well that now was not a good time to pay attention to this issue, so she hurriedly said:
"...Be careful, everyone! This is the thing that turned those people into stone! Don't be hit by the rays it emits!" For a moment, everyone picked up their weapons to face the enemy.

Adelon took the lead in charging up an arrow and shot it, straight towards the beholder's big eyeball!

However, he was easily dodged by the opponent with a side dodge.

The beholder can fly, its speed is not slow, and its reflexes are top-notch. In addition, its eyes are very big, so it can see things very clearly.

It's not easy to hit it.

The group of people was forced to retreat to the many stone statues. Upon seeing this, the beholder continued to emit rays again! But this time its target is not them,
But a stone statue! After being hit, each seemingly lifeless stone,
Shed off the hard, cold shell and become a living person again! Without saying a word, he directly copied the guy and launched an attack on Ma Long and others!

Everyone immediately jumped into the battle, and Harsin turned into a brown bear in an instant.
Knock one of them down, open his mouth and bite him!

Karak wielded his giant ax and slashed, forcing the surrounding enemies to retreat. Weir held a sharp sword in her hand to guard Gale and Asteron.
In order to maintain concentration on the magic of the light ball above his head, Shadow Heart stayed with the three girls.

If he is interrupted without participating in the battle,
Some people can't do anything just with a black eye.

"I'm going to kill that beholder! I'll leave these people to you!"

Ma Long shouted loudly and quickly ran toward the terrifying monster suspended in the air with his sword in hand.

To be honest, the beholder looks really attractive, and this appearance alone is enough to scare away a few adventurers! At the same time, the opponent's real strength is not weak.

Seeing him coming straight towards him, the beholder released his magic ray again,
huh~
Although he was fast, Ma Long didn't hide at all.

Letting the attack hit him, the sweet sound of the sword continued in his ears,

The ray hit the surface of the armor of oath, and the armor emitted a faint golden light, and nothing happened again!
Ma Long continued to run forward. When he reached the best attack distance, he jumped up, raised his weapon while flying towards the target, and struck hard!

But the beholder did not let his attack succeed, and quickly flew a few positions to the side.

Easily dodge this slash.

And the moment Ma Long landed, he opened his bloody mouth and flew over, trying to swallow him in one bite!

Fortunately, his reaction was not slow and he immediately rolled forward, making the opponent miss.

Since the beholder can fly, it can retract its power quickly.
This blow missed, and the next blow was very fast. He turned around and launched a series of attacks on Ma Long. With the natural advantage of flying, he was pressed down and hit.

Although he was forced to dodge constantly, he also fought back many times, and all of them hit.
Unfortunately, the effect is not very good, chopping cannot cause fatal damage to the beholder, it must be stabbed! And it has to be done by poking at the weak spot with the big eyeball!

This scene was panoramic to Gale who was not far away. She was well protected and the enemies could hardly get close. Halsin and Karak, who were in the form of brown bears,
He withstood the pressure from the front row, and when the fish that slipped through the net approached, Weier killed him.

Because of this, she happened to be very free at this time,

Seeing that Ma Long was at a disadvantage, she immediately chanted a spell to mobilize the energy of the magic network and pointed in the direction of the beholder! A circle of magic runes appeared around it,

Several chains constructed from energy entangled and locked this monster layer by layer! Make it unable to move!
When this situation came into view, Ma Long immediately turned his head and saw Gale looking over here. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately seized this opportunity.
Jumping up in the air, he held the sword behind his back to maximize the damage of this attack.
The locked beholder knows his intentions,
He immediately closed his eyes and tried to use his shell to resist the blow.

But the sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light, like piercing fragile paper, almost completely piercing into the beholder's body without any resistance!

Roar!
At this moment, the beholder let out a piercing cry,
The sound it made was terrifying. As Ma Long turned the hilt of the sword, it stopped abruptly. The beholder's huge suspended body fell heavily to the ground, and his life was lost.
