Chapter 28 Ghost-faced squid
"Largo!" Qin Lun shouted, and didn't bother to remind others. He turned his left wrist and the evil dagger shot at the thief's vest like black lightning in everyone's shocked eyes.
After shooting out the dagger, Qin Lun's right hand shook again. When the Fengzhi Frost appeared in his hand, it turned into a hideous ice chain with a metal beast claw at the top. This is another weapon form formed by the Fengzhi Frost weapon box fused with a dark blue claw chain.
The Frost Ghost Claw came first, and the metal Ghost Claw at the front held the evil dagger that had been shot out before, while the front end of the killing relics extended a black soul rope without any substance, which circled around the thief's waist and suddenly pulled him over.
Lago was completely unaware of what was going on, and he looked confused. However, his face soon changed drastically, because while the soul rope pulled him, a huge object, which was originally calm and unwavering, swept the mist like a wind blowing away the remaining clouds, sweeping across the position where he was originally standing.
As the mist dissipated, everyone instantly saw the object clearly with the help of the glimmer of light emitted from the Winnie staff. This was a tentacle that was dozens of meters long and almost one meter in diameter.
This giant tentacle stretched out from underwater. Looking from afar, it was still a long distance from the shore. No wonder when the fog was heavy, Lago could only hear the sound of paddling and could not really discover its existence.
The tentacles did not catch Lago, as if they were a little angry. They circled the water for a week and threw them back again at the location where everyone was, causing everyone to jump in a mess and flew backwards in a hurry.
When the tentacles were thrown to everyone, everyone realized that this thing looked really cunning.
Its surface is full of suction cups the size of a washbasin. It is called a suction cup, but it is actually more like the huge mouths of a beast, with three rings of sharp teeth neatly arranged inside. The top of the tentacle is more like a huge flower, with four forked pieces of fusiform flesh and the petals are full of jagged fine teeth.
Seeing this scene, Lago's face was filled with gratitude and gave Qin Lun a look of gratitude. If the silver-haired elf hadn't pulled him just now, he would have been torn into pieces by the tentacles and stripped away alive.
No matter how powerful the thief is, compared with brute force, there is no chance of winning at all.
"This is not... a ghost-faced squid?" Mastasha could hardly believe her eyes, and she widened her beautiful eyes in amazement, and the camouflage oil on her face kept twitching with her cheeks.
"What?" Qin Lun asked cautiously while hiding.
"Oh? Oh! A kind of marine beast, how could such things be found in the Land of Death? How could this be possible?" Mastasha was a little incoherent, "Did it be Bodean who kept it here to guard the treasure?"
"Impossible. Except for gods, the strong men in the legendary realm do not have the ability to sign a summoning contract with this creature." Qin Lun thought for a moment and immediately shook his head.
The Feren continent is a magical world and must follow basic magical rules.
Qin Lun also has summoning creatures. Not to mention whether such a large legendary creature can sign a summoning contract. The mana it usually needs to maintain in a pet park is astronomical, and even weaker gods can't stand it, let alone legendary power.
If it is a physical creature, then Bodean cannot bring it here at all, even if it passes through the Chongsa River or the Wenyan River. If it is still a juvenile body, it is possible to stock it here.
However, this kind of marine giant beast grew from juvenile body to such a big size. It was too late to calculate from the era where Bodean was, at least it was in ancient times. Moreover, if the legendary pirate planned to use it to guard the treasure, how could he only bring one juvenile body beast over here?
"There is only one possibility. The winding river and the Chongsa River are connected to the ocean. When it was still a juvenile body, it moved here along a certain river channel and groundwater network." After Mastasha calmed down, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She had never seen such a thing before. The harpist's rich adventure experience helped her, but it also imprisoned her thinking at some point. Of course, it was impossible for the swamp environment to breed such a marine beast, because the depth and width of the water were not enough.
But the Land of Death is not an ordinary swamp, who knows what happened here in ancient times. Several epic wars also mean that it has been bombarded by countless forbidden curses, leaving a huge and deep lake.
Back then, in the battle between the elves of the Jondal and the Kingdom of Jondal, did the elves wizards use the forbidden spell to bombard a Weihong sea area connecting the sea of fallen stars in the north of the Kingdom of Jondal and?
There have been so many epic wars in the Land of Death, what's so great about leaving a big pit that can feed the giant beasts of the ocean?
"Stop talking nonsense, where to escape?" Rick shouted at the two of them. The always calm Knight also seemed a little annoyed at this time.
He didn't regret taking on this employment task, so he rescued Veni and Lago repeatedly for Qin Lun. Even if time goes back, he would come over to help. But he really didn't want to die here, not because he was afraid of death, but because he still had many unfulfilled wishes.
"If it's a mature ghost-faced squid..." Mastasha showed a hint of bitterness on her face, and slowly took off the longbow on her back, and said with shame, "It's my fault this time. We've gone too deep into this lake, and I'm afraid we've been surrounded. You can escape, I'll try to get you more time!"
"Encircled?" Everyone was a little surprised and looked back at the highland elves who had recovered from calmness. Is this thing still a group of people? There is really no way out!
"You will know after a while. I will help you open a channel. Remember, there is only one chance, don't look back!" After saying that, the Highland Elf closed her eyes and began to adjust the breathing frequency. The expression on her face looked extremely firm.
Qin Lun looked at the calm Mastaxia, and his eyes flashed with a strange light. I don’t know if there was an illusion. This "big" beauty who has always been carefree and rough personality actually made him feel a strange beauty after he had the intention of decisive death.
"Woo~~" After several failed attacks, a dull sound similar to a horn came from the lake under the water. Then the water surface began to boil, and a "mountain" that was dozens of times larger than the wild bull gangster was exposed to the water.
"It's so ugly!" The "mountain" exposed to the water looks like a triangular cone, and the first impression it gives everyone is ugly.
The body of the tentacle is a creature that looks like a calamari or a squid, but when you look closely, it is different from a calamari. In addition to a horny plate in the body, the calamari is actually a mollusk, and the ocean giant beast in front of you is not.
The surface of its body is covered with lake-green scales, each piece is the size of a millstone, protecting the body of the giant beast like a layer of armor. The top of its head is even longer as thin as a gun, and it is like the corner of a sail battleship, with a bright metal reflection.
Now Qin Lun knows why it is called a ghost-faced squid. On the front of its head, there are parts similar to human facial features.
However, in addition to the eyes, there are only three black holes left in the nose and mouth. There is actually a slender horn plate in the center of the black hole that represents the nostrils, which looks like a twisted skull. Isn’t it just like a ghost mask?
At the same time, everyone also knew why Mastasha said they were surrounded.
After the body of the ghost-faced squid was exposed to the water, everyone realized that its tentacles were not only longer than before, but also more than one. In addition to the few tentacles waving in front of them, there were seven or eight other huge tentacles dozens of meters behind them, swimming towards everyone silently like giant pythons.
Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Mastasha would say it was her fault. This dirt road leading to the middle of the lake was completely a bait. It sent everyone under the mouth of the ghost-faced squid like chopsticks.
The Highland Elf knew that there were legendary creatures here, but failed to discover this obvious flaw and brought everyone into a desperate situation, which made him blame himself to the point of decisive death.
"We really can't underestimate these ancient giant beasts. They are smarter than many intelligent races." Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he realized more of the things he had learned.
This lake may have formed naturally, but a few dirt roads that run across the middle of the lake are probably not. If the depth of this lake is enough to feed a marine beast, then the dirt road exposed to the water will be like a steep cliff in the underwater part.
There will be no such terrain in the swamp environment. It should be transformed by the ghost-faced squids themselves. As I thought before, these dirt roads are their "chopsticks".
Unlike the wild bull gangsters that encountered before, on such a narrow dirt road, the ghost-faced squid's tentacles covered them like net bags, which was almost a desperate situation.
"Do you want to use it?" Hill asked seriously on the team channel.
"Well, the Highland Elf can't die yet, let me do it!" The person who answered was not Qin Lun, but Rand. Fireworks looked excited and took out an ancient magic scroll from his arms.
"Bring these two things can enhance control!" Qin Lun raised his hand and threw two items to Rand, which were his Iron Cross Medal and Yuelun's Chain.
The bright gold item of Yuelun's Chain has a passive special effect - concentrating the mind. Wearing this jewelry can achieve the effect of concentrating and meditation, reduce the need for skill casting, and enhance the accuracy of the skill. It is just right to use it at this time.
As for the Iron Cross, it is not about its attribute amplification effect at this time, but about another equipment special effect to enhance the magic power of a certain active skill of the Apostle!
"And this one can reduce your mana consumption!" Hill smiled and threw a bracelet-shaped equipment over.
This is the magic sucking bracelet he got when he killed the ghost warrior Michelle in the Phantom Demon World. It is basically the same as the ghost cage hand. It sucks blood and sucks demons, weakens the enemy and helps to recover himself.
