The mage arrives

Yashina successfully chanted the fireball technique, and successfully hit three ooze monsters.

After the effects of the flame and explosion spells dissipated, the little girl discovered that two of the three slime monsters were seriously injured and one was slightly injured, but none of them were dead. They were still persistently crawling towards her while making disgusting noises.

"Mr. Gordon..." Yashna tugged on Gordon's sleeve.

In the past few days of getting along, this curious little girl has developed a strong sense of dependence and admiration for Gordon.The reason is that when Dorne wandered around Rainbow Spring Manor, he always liked to tell the young mages about his experience of fighting demons in the Cold Mist Mountains.

Because the wedding was imminent, the eloquent young master of the Lannister family did not brag about his achievements to attract innocent girls, but instead moved Gordon out to publicize his "great achievements".

Although Gordon felt that his act of using the shrinking technique to create an avalanche and help the Autumn Hunting team break through the siege was indeed a stroke of genius, and he was quite proud of it.But it still feels like a headache to be preached like a megaphone by others.Thanks to Dorn, he has an extra little tail that sticks to his side all day long—the kind that can't be rudely driven away.

Gordon vowed to let the bad friend who caused him trouble have a "forever unforgettable" wedding night.

But before that, he's got a whole lot of wriggly jelly to deal with.

The three ooze monsters that Yashina attacked with fireball can only be regarded as medium-sized ooze monsters based on their size.Judging from the game data of "Ancient Era", creatures with a challenge level of at most five cannot resist a fireball at all.

But these ugly guys really did it.

"These guys are arcane ooze monsters!" Gordon reminded his teammates loudly.

Oozes have a large number of subspecies.One of them is the Arcane Ooze Monster.

Due to the unique physiological characteristics of this creature.Making it a good experiment creature for some arcane arts.During various arcane experiments, some ooze monsters had wonderful changes in their bodies, and possessed a strange affinity and resistance to arcane energy.After these artificial creatures born in the magic laboratory returned to the natural world, they survived and multiplied rapidly thanks to their newly acquired special abilities.

For mages, arcane ooze monsters with strong magic resistance are undoubtedly very troublesome enemies.Even some arcane ooze monsters can evolve the ability to steal arcane energy.If the mage finds the spell he has stored in the spell slot when he is casting a spell.Suddenly disappearing one by one is definitely a huge blow.

Fearing that something might happen, at this moment, Jiaxi who was standing beside Ruth let out a terrified scream: "Ah! My spell, vanish...disappeared!"

Gordon sighed.It seems that this battle.The three mages could barely function anymore.

"Russ, Jiaxi, Yashna, back up quickly. Keep your distance. These guys can absorb arcane energy to increase their health." Gordon said, "Don't use offensive spells, for these arcane energy It’s useless for the ooze monster, bless other people with buff spells!”

At this critical moment, it goes without saying that Yashna, who has almost blindly admired Gordon, is Ruth, who has always had a competitive mentality.And Jiaxi, who hated Wu and Wu, obediently obeyed Gordon's instructions.

The arcane ooze steals the spells prepared by the mage by invading the magic net.However, since the cleric receives his spells directly from the deity he worships, he is not affected by this ability.

And Gordon.It relies on its own mana to cast spells, and does not rely on the magic net, so it will not be affected by the special ability of the arcane slime.

Since it is too inefficient to use magic to deal with these monsters with extremely high magic resistance, the mages headed by Gordon were reduced to supporting roles in the battle.Although the four mages have all been trained with daggers and light crossbows, it is still up to professionals to wield knives and swords.

Fortunately, Gordon adjusted his strategy against the enemy in time. These rare arcane ooze monsters did not cause too much trouble to the team by virtue of their special abilities.Golden Dragon Sword Guard, Lenas and the others put on many buff spells, and chopped melons and vegetables to wipe out these sticky creatures of different colors.

But after the battle, Gordon discovered another problem.

"Captain Dallet, what's wrong with your hand?" Gordon saw the captain of Golden Dragon Sword Guard walking over holding his left arm.

"It's nothing, Mr. Freeman." Although he was injured, the middle-aged soldier's tone remained calm, "It's just that during the battle just now, his left hand was sucked in by a slime monster."

Dalett removed the armor and clothes from his hands, it seemed that he wanted to seek healing from a priest.However, Gordon took a closer look at the opponent's arm, but found that there was no obvious wound - the slime monster without mouthparts and sharp teeth obviously couldn't bite Dailet.

"Dislocated?" Gordon asked.The strong adsorption force in the ooze monster's body is indeed very easy to cause this kind of joint injury.

Dai Lite shook his head: "No, I just feel weak in my arm, as if all the blood has been sucked out."

Gordon took a closer look and found that the skin on the opponent's hands was frighteningly pale.He pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not like. You were indeed sucked blood by the slime just now."

Dai Lite didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and after bidding farewell to Gordon, he went to find the priest of the Temple of Dawn.

But Gordon was lost in thought.

Although there were more than twenty subspecies of ooze monsters, he hadn't heard of any of them having the ability to suck blood.It doesn't make sense to say that he encountered a new type of ooze monster.Because those monsters that have been chopped into jelly-like pieces by them are the most typical arcane ooze monsters.

Other creatures that can suck the blood of their enemies, such as vampires, all use this ability to nourish themselves, even as a source of food.

But the arcane ooze monster is an artificial creature born in a magic laboratory, and has no eating and digestive organs in the usual sense.They feed on arcane energy and suck the blood of creatures, which is useless to them.However, simply using this ability to kill and injure the enemy would be too inefficient.

The strange mental state of his companions, as well as these strange creatures, cast a shadow over Gordon's mind.

I hope nothing goes wrong before we reach our destination...

Perhaps Tymora, the goddess of fortune, heard Gordon's prayer.After experiencing the raid in the morning, the whole morning was passed without incident.

During the noon break, Gordon habitually opened his eyes of truth and warning to check the surrounding situation, but unexpectedly he was taken aback.

He found that the entire dungeon was shrouded in a blood-red mist as thin as a veil.

This weird scene sent a chill down Gordon's spine, and the pores on his body seemed to burst open.He asked himself that he had always been cautious in his actions, and would use his eyes of truth and warning every two hours to investigate the surrounding situation.And two hours ago, the team passed by a dark elf temple, and when he inspected it with the eyes of truth and warning, everything was still normal.

This blood-red mist was very strange, and it gave Gordon a feeling of deja vu.But he didn't notice any effect this blood-red mist had on him, and he couldn't even sense its existence if he hadn't opened the Eye of Truth and Warning.

"Perhaps, the strange mental state of everyone in the team is also related to this fog?"

Thinking of this, Gordon decided to discuss with Renas who was not affected like himself.

At this time, the female holy warrior was sitting on a rock, chewing the jerky in very ladylike sips.After listening to Gordon's description, she showed a skeptical look, and looked directly at Gordon with her beautiful green eyes: "Mr. Gordon, I didn't feel the blood-red mist you mentioned, you are Didn't you read it wrong?"

"You don't believe me?"

"Yes, Mr. Gordon. You said that you saw some mysterious blood-red mist surrounding us in some special way. But this mist could not be detected by other methods, and it did not cause any harm to me. Influence. How can I confirm its existence? So I suspect that there is something wrong with your mental state."

Gordon got an unexpected answer from the female paladin.Indeed, he had no way to prove the existence of this blood-red mist.Because if that was a special kind of arcane energy, then the other three mages would find it too.Gordon only saw the blood-red mist with his eyes of truth and warning, but he couldn't lend this prop to Reinas.

But Renas's other conclusion made him feel very absurd: "Do you suspect that I, like Jude and the others, have a little mental disorder?"

"Yes." Lenas nodded calmly, "I know that you are an excellent mage, with careful thinking and thorough consideration. But if the flaws of this personality trait are magnified, it will become suspicious. Other people's mental problems are personality defects magnified, and now it seems that you are also affected."

Gordon had nothing to say.Because Renas's analysis does make sense.The blood-red mist can't be proved by other objective facts except himself. Maybe he really deceived himself?

Renas patted the back of Gordon's hand, and her tone softened: "Take a break, Mr. Gordon. You are the key to this mission, and there must be no problems. I will discuss it with Jude and stop advancing today. Replenish your energy and set off for your destination tomorrow.”

Feeling the warmth from the back of his hand, Gordon nodded.

The female paladin got up and left.Gordon looked at her back, and frowned slightly: "Is it true that I was also affected by some kind of influence, causing a mental disorder? Or... there is another hidden story..." (to be continued...)
