Savior Simulator

Chapter 995
"That's right, the digger is such a dangerous creature."

Fabion nodded to confirm Jiang Feng's guess.

"There are no less than a hundred diggers living in this forest, and most of them live alone. Only during the breeding season will the male and female pair up, live together to lay eggs, and raise their offspring."

"The burrowers that live alone or in pairs are not a big threat. They are a link in the biological chain that maintains the natural ecological balance. There is no need to hunt and kill them."

"However, in rare cases, there will also be a special case where a large number of burrowers live in groups. These giant worms with a huge appetite will soon eat up the roots of plants near their habitats, causing large areas of vegetation to wither and die, and forest beasts Either they are eaten by the diggers, or they are forced to migrate and escape, causing the local ecological balance to be devastated."

"Unfortunately, in the depths of the labyrinth forest, there is such a group of crazy diggers. Originally, I planned to kill the swarms myself. Since you are here, I will leave this work as a test to you to complete. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Hearing what Fabione said about the second test, the lion scratched his head, turned back to his companion with a blank face, "What is an earth digger?"

"From the name...it seems to be a kind of big bug that can dig holes." Nick the Tin Woodman speculated.

"Oh! my dear friend, can you say anything else besides this nonsense?" asked the Lion angrily.

"Sorry, this has touched my blind spot of knowledge, we should ask Ms. Mage." Nick shrugged.

Ma Yun opened the astrolabe, searched for the entry of "digger" in the database, and soon found the corresponding monster illustration.

Judging from the accompanying picture, the burrower looks like a giant crayfish, with a brownish-yellow shell, six lower limbs, about twelve feet long from head to toe, and a weight of nearly half a ton.

This worm-shaped magical beast is good at digging and digging holes. The lair it lives in is like an underground labyrinth, full of criss-crossing tunnels.

For most of their lives, diggers hide quietly in underground tunnels, while maintaining a high level of vigilance, relying on a pair of extremely sensitive tentacles to listen to the wind and grass from the surface above.

When the prey walks through the surface, the slight sound of footsteps will be transmitted to the ground along the soil, and will be captured by the burrowers lurking in the ground, and then drill out of the cave to launch a surprise attack on the prey.

The average health value of an adult burrower is around 60 points. The hard shell provides +9 natural defense, which is equivalent to a set of forged full-body armor. The attributes are: strength 21, agility 10, constitution 17, intelligence 1, Wisdom 13, Charisma 6.

Burgers have a Challenge Rating of around 3, have poor eyesight, but are born with well-developed senses of smell and hearing, and have mastered Alertness, Toughness, Grab, Improved Initiative, and Improved Grapple and other expertise.

Diggers are good at launching surprise attacks, grabbing unsuspecting prey with their powerful jaws and dragging them deep into their burrows.

If the prey is alert enough and the burrower misses in a surprise attack, it will use another weapon to spray highly corrosive acid from its mouth, shooting the prey trying to escape from itself.

The acid spewed by the burg can reach a distance of 30 feet (10 meters), dealing 3d6 points of acid damage, double the damage to metal equipment that is prone to rust.

Hearing this, the Tin Woodman couldn't help trembling.

"Don't worry, Nick, with this amulet on, you don't have to be afraid of the acid spewed by the diggers."

Ma Yun took out a plaster infused with the "anti-acid barrier" and stuck it on the Tin Woodman's chest.

With her current casting level, the "acid-resistant barrier" can offset 30 points of acid damage, and is basically immune to the acid spray of burrowers.

Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, and Dimitri were also blessed with "anti-acid barriers" by Ma Yun.

Everyone got ready, and "Tree Dragon" Fabion cast the 6-ring natural magic "Wood Escape" to teleport them collectively to the area where the burrowers were active.

Deep in the dense forest, there is a large open space.

The trees that originally grew in this generation have withered and withered because their roots were cut by the digging insects.

Dozens of holes were scattered on the forest glade covered with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, and the diameter of the hole was two meters wide.

A total of ten adult diggers are entrenched in this area, making the area a forbidden area that birds and beasts in the forest have always been afraid of.

In the dark dense forest, a tall camphor tree suddenly burst out with green magic light, illuminating the surroundings.

The huge figure of "Tree Dragon" Fabiong first broke away from the camphor tree, and then, the figures of Gao Fei and others also emerged from around Fabiong one after another.

With the help of the 6-ring "wooden escape", Fabiong can teleport between any two trees of the same type, no matter how far the two trees are from each other.

After leading Gao Fei and others to teleport to the mission location, Fabione disappeared into the forest, only his exhortations still echoed in the forest.

"Be safe, young friends!"

"If you think this test is too difficult, you can stop at any time, and I will cast a spell to help you out of danger. After that, you don't want to go through the labyrinth of the forest. Medellin, the king of flying dragons, and his accomplices are far more powerful than you." Ten diggers are even more terrifying!"

After watching Fabione leave, Gao Fei summoned his companions to discuss how to eliminate the burrower swarm.

Everyone agreed that there is nothing stupider than going into a hole in the ground to kill insects. Even Dimitri, the reckless lion, knows that doing so is tantamount to suicide.

"First of all, we have to try to attract the diggers hiding deep in the cave." Gao Fei said looking at the forest clearing.

"It would be great if we had a bard in our team. Singing a 'Ecstasy' can easily lure out those big bugs with low IQs." Jiang Feng said regretfully.

Gao Fei associated "Ecstasy" with another spell, turned his head and asked Ma Yun: "The richest man, your 'Iridescent Robe' has a 3-ring 'Hypnotic Pattern', and its function is similar to that of 'Ecstasy', is it okay?" Use this trick to lure the digger out of its hole?"

Student Xiao Ma shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Brother Fei, you are wrong! Although the 'hypnotic pattern' can also cause group fascination effects, it must be transmitted through vision. The burrowers have poor eyesight and are still hidden deep in the underground cave. They can't see me at all. How can the spell released be hypnotized?"

"In other words, we must first try to lure the diggers to the entrance of the cave, and then release the 'hypnotic pattern' against our faces to attract them to crawl out of the cave." Gao Fei pondered.

"Hey! Friends, I came up with a good idea!" The lion seemed to suddenly become smarter, "I'll go to the woods to catch a small animal and throw it in the glade as a bait, so I can catch those big animals hiding in the ground. Did the bugs lure out?"
