The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 974

The chance of encountering monsters in the route arranged by the college selection is still relatively low. This part of the area has been fully explored, and because it is relatively close to the residence and the mine where the mushroom farm is developed, there are often guards patrolling nearby .If you're lucky, you can walk all the way to the surface without any danger.

But this is not a reason to be taken lightly. Since the selection venue is placed here, there are still some reasons.

Laventan was deeply squeezed when he heard the movement, and he snuffed out the light ball of the dancing light technique that he exhaled, relying on the lighting provided by Lin Tianci, he stared cautiously ahead, and then threw away all the stones in his hand That invisible corner.

Almost at the same time, a burst of indistinct ravings emerged from the darkness amidst several strange roars, which made the listener feel uncomfortable, accompanied by a sound like chewing. The few pebbles thrown just now were chewed up and eaten.

But the stone was just a stone after all, and the monster hiding in the darkness also found that he had been fooled, and walked through the corner by himself.

A large lump of red, bloody mass squeezed out of the dark passageway, its flesh-colored body was covered with different types of eyeballs and different sizes of bloody mouths, like a piece of scarlet The disgustingly red plasticine is covered with eyes and mouthparts, and the viscous gelatinous body writhes and flows out of the darkness, like a big flowing nightmare.

Lin Tianci has been complaining that the monsters in the magical world are all eating gold, and each one is bigger than the other, but in fact, compared to the simple size, all of them are really ugly and ugly.

To be reasonable, throwing this thing on the set of a horror movie without makeup is the final boss, and it is also the kind of super difficult boss that can transform in two stages and chase the protagonist's ass at the end of the movie.

But in fact, if this thing is not considered the psychological pressure caused by being too ugly, it is really not a difficult thing to deal with.

Sai Li, who had been watching the live broadcast, recognized it at a glance, and explained casually:

"It seems that the monsters in the plane of the Lightless Realm have some similarities with the monsters in other planes. The monster in front of you is called the Horror, and it is a monster that usually only appears deep underground. It is a special monster formed by combining the corpses of many creatures under the erosion of shadow power."

"Undead creature?"

"No, in a sense it is alive, not a corpse driven by negative energy like an undead creature. According to the classification set by our goblins, this thing belongs to a kind of strange..."

"Please get to the point."

"I'll talk about that strange topic later when I have time."

While the two of them were chatting, Horror's terrifying crimson body kept moving in the direction of Laventan. The distance between the two sides was about ten meters, which was completely within the reach of the reaction.

A young lady like Laventan had never seen such a hideous thing, and she was taken aback at the time.

Because of her weak mental strength, she hadn't really learned magic before. She had only seen information about horror monsters in books during pure theoretical knowledge learning.

But when the text is transformed into a tangible image, the impact is completely different.

However, the Horror's movement speed is very slow. Its body height of one person may be because it is too soft, so it can only squirm slowly at a speed of less than half a meter per second, which gives Laventan time to react.

She forcibly collected herself, recalling what Lin Tianci told her, and calmly judged the characteristics of the Horror.

Then, with a trembling hand, she raised the crimson ax on her shoulder and stepped forward, the broad blade of the ax slashed straight at the Horror.

Letting these twelve or thirteen-year-old children come underground, where they may encounter monsters, is actually to test a very important ability of them.

That is the ability to respond to emergencies.

The human species generally takes three actions in the face of sudden danger.

The first is to fight, the second is to escape, and the third is to freeze in place and not dare to move.

This kind of reaction to unexpected situations is unavoidable for everyone. Even if your mind is very clear about what to do at this time, when a real threat comes, untrained ordinary people basically have a blank mind , it takes time to calm down.

However, due to the city's defense needs in the Lightless Realm, what they need to deal with is not a huge number of monsters flooding in like a tide, but stragglers who may sneak into the city and suddenly appear at any time.

Under the premise of such defense needs, whether they are guards or elite guards, their ability to deal with emergencies and whether they can quickly calm down and respond accurately have become an extremely critical and important indicator.

Training can indeed make ordinary people try their best to calm down in the face of sudden crises, but since resources are limited, why not recruit people with excellent talents who can force themselves to calm down without training?
This is the real purpose of the college's selection here. The strength of the students who can participate in the second assessment is actually not particularly important. After all, what is expected is their future, not the present.

Laventan can resist fear and turn around and run in a short period of time, and quickly force himself to calm down and observe the opponent, find the opponent's shortcomings or weaknesses to attack, this is definitely a very high bonus.

But that doesn't mean her actions are flawless in the eyes of outsiders.

Lin Tianci stared at Laventan so that she would not be rescued in time when she was in danger, and Sai Li continued to popularize science:
"The Horror moves slowly, but it has a strong corrosive ability, and even stones can be digested by it. At the same time, if you get close to the Horror, it will have a certain impact on the mind because of listening to its vague and terrifying ravings, not to mention this Things have a certain resistance to simple physical attacks, and their strength is not very strong, but they are indeed difficult to deal with monster types."

As soon as Sai Li finished speaking, Laventan cut the Horror's sticky, plasticine-like body from it with an axe. It was nothing, the whole body squirmed disgustingly, and the wound cut by the crimson ax returned to its original state.

"Spiritual weapons are a type of magical weapons, and they can cause a certain degree of damage to horror monsters. But the best way to deal with them is to keep a distance of more than 10 meters and use spells to bombard them repeatedly. There is almost no magic resistance, even with a simple magic like Magic Missile, it will disperse into a bloody mud after a few hits."

For people without magic output, the Horror is really difficult to deal with, but it moves slowly, so if you can’t handle it, you can just run away, even a cripple with a cane can escape the scare without any pressure The strange pursuit.

To sum up, this thing is only level 15 in the [-]-level system compiled by the ancient elves, so it can be said to be one of the quite low-end monsters.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that Laventan went straight up and chopped it with an axe. From the perspective of uninformed outsiders, it was a very stupid thing.

The popularity rate of magic missiles is so high that it can be said that as long as a mage knows it, the characteristics of horror monsters have long been described in detail in schools and even popular science books distributed to ordinary people.

Obviously, it can be done safely by throwing two magic missiles, but you still have to take the risk to go up close combat. This kind of action will be regarded as an immature and irrational judgment in the eyes of outsiders.

The high score given just now was dropped immediately after Laventan took action.

But it’s really not Laventan’s fault. After all, her magic is nothing but Dancing Lights, and even Dancing Lights has not been practiced to a real level. So far, she can only control up to two balls of light, not Four of normal dancing lights.

With this level of magic, it is too difficult for her to throw magic missiles.

But after all, no matter what the quality or method is, the most important thing for the locals is the result.

No matter how well the guards are trained, it is absolutely unqualified to let the shadow monsters make a big splash in the city and cause a lot of casualties when they are really needed to play.

In short, the result is more important than the process.

If Laventan can kill this monster alone and quickly, there will definitely be some bonus points, and the penalty for his reckless actions will not be too serious.

And this is really a bit difficult for Laventan.

Spiritual weapons can be regarded as a type of magic weapon, which can cause a lot of damage to horror monsters, but because of the close combat, Laventan's ears are full of babbling words of unknown meaning from horror monsters, which is a serious problem. It interfered with her judgment and made her feel particularly upset.

Unable to calm down, the footwork originally taught by Lin Tian was also messed up.

Moreover, the Horror can be regarded as a large group of very disgusting flesh and blood gel. Its attack is not like ordinary monsters slapped with limbs, but the whole body wriggles and pounces in the direction of Laventan, which is very promising. She wrapped it in and digested it.

It was very necessary to move, but as a result, Laventan's pace was a little messed up. Facing continuous pounces like Roshan, Laventan attacked less and less frequently, and defense became more and more difficult.

What's more terrible is the kind of disturbing babbling, normal people will only feel uncomfortable after listening to it, and Laventan's mental strength is already very low, this wave of interference is very effective for her.

Seeing that Laventan was in danger, Lin Tianci was ready to save people at any time, but at this time, Laventan might have been annoyed, so he split open the creeping body of the Horror with his left hand. He clenched his fist and punched it irrationally:

"Lion Roar!"

A golden flash of lightning appeared on her left hand. This was not the sound and light effect that a lion's battle roar should have. What's even more amazing was that this flash of lightning turned into a ferocious flame when it hit the Horror.

The hit point swelled rapidly, and the already bloated horror monster...

Fuck, it looks like it's going to explode!
