Chapter 766 The Monster in the Fireplace
Gao Fei and his party walked along the steps to the end of the secret passage, and an iron gate appeared in front of them.

Mario took out the burglar's tool he was carrying, pried open the lock, and pushed open the door.

A thick and disgusting bloody smell immediately hit the nostrils.

Goofy, Lisa, and Claire covered their mouths and noses at the same time, suppressing heart palpitations and nausea, and followed Mario to the room behind the door.

It's really like the ogre said, the basement of the workhouse is arranged like a canteen.

There is a long table in the middle of the hall, and six large and sturdy chairs, which are enough to fit the ogre's fat buttocks.

The broken bones scattered on the table look like garbage thrown here after a meal.

If it weren't for some conspicuous human skull fragments among them, it would be really hard to identify what kind of food was gnawed like this.

Against the wall of the hall, there is a musty wooden staircase.

Lisa didn't want to look at the remains of human bones on the table, so she went up the stairs holding the ball of light, tried to shake the doorknob, turned her head and said to Gao Fei at the bottom of the stairs, "The door above is locked."

There is another door diagonally across the stairs, leading to the next room in the basement.

Through the crack of the door, there was a pungent rancid smell.

Claire put her ear on the keyhole, held her breath and listened for a moment, then turned to Gao Fei and the others and said, "There is a faint movement in the next room, it seems to be the cry of a child..."

"Perhaps our orphanage superintendent, the kindly Mrs. Freddie, puts unruly children in solitary confinement in the basement."

Mario tried to use his sense of humor and found that everyone didn't get the joke, so he added rather disappointingly:

"I mean, it's a good thing that the poor little guy is still crying, at least it shows that he hasn't been eaten yet."

"You don't need to talk about such obvious things, hurry up and pry open the door!"

Claire scolded the "Master of Humor" angrily.

Mario touched his nose and pried open the door resentfully.

The next room smelled disgusting, like a mixture of rotting flesh and feces.

When Lisa walked in holding the glowing silver coin, the darkness covering the entire room was dispelled by the "light technique".

Gao Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around in the light and dark room.

The first thing that catches the eye are two large sinks, the size of a bathtub.

One of the tanks contained sewage, which was the source of the foul smell.

The other tank was empty, save for a layer of dried blood at the bottom.

In the middle of the two sinks, there is a cutting board that looks like it is used for slaughtering pigs. A large kitchen knife covered with blood is lying flat on the cutting board, apparently it was still in use not long ago.

Opposite the sink and the chopping board, there is a meat rack against the wall, and three corpses are hung on iron hooks.

Two of the corpses were stripped naked and disembowelled like white pigs, and one was dressed in rags.

Gao Fei waved his hand, indicating that Lisa, whose face was pale with fright, turned around, took the shiny silver coin from her hand as a candlestick, walked to the meat rack, and inspected the corpse.

The three corpses were all emaciated, obviously suffering from hunger for a long time, most of them were homeless people on the street.

At this time, a low roar suddenly came from behind.

Gao Fei hurriedly turned his head and looked at the fireplace in the corner where the roar came from.

In the hearth, two dark yellow spots lit up, shining with a ferocious look, they were clearly the eyes of some kind of beast!

"Beware!"

With quick eyes and quick hands, Claire pushed Gao Fei away.

Almost at the same time, the monster hiding in the fireplace rushed out and passed Gao Fei.

The monster jumped into the air, roared in frustration, turned quickly, and confronted Goofy, Lisa, Mario, and Claire.

This monster looks like a panther, but its sturdy body is comparable to that of a lion. It is covered in black and blue, oily and smooth fur, shining with a strange and dazzling halo.

If that's all, this guy is a big cat, not a monster.

However, after a little observation, you will find that there are strange organs on its body that are different from ordinary tigers and leopards. A pair of tentacles extend backward from both sides of the shoulder blade. .

As the monster roared, the two tentacles slowly rose, like flexible tails, swinging in the air, showing off the barbed bone spurs, as if threatening the prey.

Gao Fei also noticed that the monster wore an iron collar around its neck, and there was a pendant that looked like an iron plate hanging in the center of the collar.

It seems that the Freddys not only adopted ogres, but also had a habit of keeping monsters as pets.

"Simba, hurry up and kill that weird black panther!"

Claire gave an order, and Simba the Lion pounced on him, fighting with the monster.

Gao Fei didn't rush to make a move, he opened the astrolabe and looked at the black monster's illustrated book.

It turned out that this guy was called "Shifting Beast", a large magical beast with evil nature.

Except for a pair of long whip-like tentacles on its body, the shifter's size, attributes, natural defense and fighting style are similar to those of an adult male lion, except that its health bar is thicker, so it seems not difficult to deal with.

However, after fighting, I realized that the displacement beast is much more difficult to deal with than the male lion!
This guy has a special ability commensurate with his status as a "magic beast". His body is constantly surrounded by a halo, and it's hard to tell its exact location.

Interferenced by this circle of flickering phantoms, the enemy's attack on the displacement beast will have a 50% chance of failing before the hit test is made.

This effect of forcibly avoiding half of the attacks is exactly the same as the third-level spell "Displacement" of the "Illusion School".

In fact, that's how the Shifter got its name.

Relying on the constant special effects of the "displacement technique" on the body, and the displacement beast is naturally good at "proficient dodge", "intuitive dodge" and "reflection dodge", the lion Simba's attacks on it have repeatedly failed, but the displacement beast is flexible. His tentacles whipped his body dripping with blood.

Claire and Mario saw that the lion was no match for the shifted beast, so they rushed to besiege it.

The long whip Claire pulled out and the crossbow arrows fired by Mario were also interfered by the "Shifting Technique". They seemed to hit the Shifting Beast, but actually passed by without causing the slightest damage.

"Canwa!"

Thanks to Lisa's strength, she used the "command technique" at a critical moment, successfully breaking through the will resistance of the "Shifting Beast", which is weaker than physical dodge, and injecting a spiritual command into its mind.

Just as the Shifting Beast bit Simba's neck, it was about to forcefully tear the lion's throat, when suddenly an irresistible external will controlled its brain, and it couldn't help but lie down on the spot.

Like a well-trained hound, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue, trying to curry favor with its master, it ended up being severely beaten.

In the next round, Shifting Beast got rid of the control of the "command technique" and was about to take revenge on Lisa, when a familiar figure broke into the field of vision, which immediately aroused a far stronger hatred in Shifting Beast's heart than Lisa, prompting It temporarily changes the target of the attack.
