Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3040 Clay Puppet
"How's the surrounding situation?"

It was Kael who spoke, and the person he questioned was Doakes.

After Benson finished describing the situation in the cave, Doakes volunteered to test Benson's words.So, he closed his eyes and explored his surroundings with mental strength.

"As Benson said, there is indeed a large labyrinth around." Doakes: "My mental power can't penetrate the wall, nor can it penetrate upwards. It should be Benson's so-called space trap."

"There is indeed an area of ​​the road behind that collapsed. It seems to be the road that Benson took when he came here."

"Turn right in front three times in a row, then walk straight for about 100 meters, and then enter the poisonous spore fog. The poisonous fog can't penetrate the spiritual power, and the specific situation inside is unknown."

While exploring with his eyes closed, Doakes fed back what he had discovered.

"If you turn right twice ahead, then walk straight for 30 meters, and then turn left four times in a row, it will be a swamp..."

Speaking of this, Doakes suddenly froze, and unconsciously let out a "huh" sound in his nasal cavity.

Not long after, Doakes opened his eyes amidst everyone's puzzled expressions.

"Why did it stop when it reached the swamp? Did something happen in the swamp?" Kael looked at Doakes curiously.

Doakes pondered for a moment and said, "I saw a mud puppet in the mud..."

What's so strange about seeing a slime goblin?Kael was a little confused.

Aren't the poisonous spore fog and the slime goblins the main obstacles when exploring the maze?

Doakes: "Also, there are hundreds of golems at once."

Kael was stunned for a moment, but he still felt that it was no big deal. Didn't Benson say before that these slime puppets are all group activities.Hundreds of mud puppets are a little too much, but they can bear it.

Kael once encountered nearly a thousand gregarious monsters near the sandworm market. It was a special kind of desert marching ant. It ate whatever it saw. It was one of the three major pest plagues in the Principality of Laxum. ;The strength of these army ants also has the level of elementary and intermediate apprentices.

So comparing the two, the mud puppets are just like that.

"The point is not the type of monsters, nor the number, but...they seem to have sensed my spiritual power, and they are now rushing towards us aggressively." Doakes sighed softly.

Hearing the monsters rushing towards them, Kael finally lost his composure.

Although gregarious monsters are not very lethal individually, if they gather together, the power will be terrifying.

In the Principality of Laxum, even official wizards are unwilling to face the ant plague alone.

Besides, if they encounter army ants, they can fly to the air to hide; but in this semi-enclosed maze, they encounter a wave of monsters coming, and it is difficult for them to find a place to hide.

At this moment, Angel said, "This sounds a bit wrong."

After a pause, Angel looked at the terrified Benson, and asked, "When you met the Goblin before, did they take the initiative to chase you?"

Benson shook his head: "No...no."

Benson's answer made Kael's face change suddenly.

He had thought before that even Benson could dodge the slime goblins, so they should be able to, too.And now Benson told them that the golem hadn't chased him? !

What's going on with Dox?

Doakes didn't do anything to the goblins either. He just probed with his mental power, and the goblins rolled in an army. Did this trigger some game rule?
Although Benson's answer made Kael's face turn pale, but when Doakes heard his words, he showed an expression of "it's true".

Angel: "Do you want to avoid? Or do you want to fight?"

Angel is not too afraid of the golem. As an illusion wizard, what he is least afraid of is this kind of group monster that is not too strong alone; once an illusion is used, whether it is thrown on one's own side or on the enemy Both camps are guaranteed to be safe and sound.

However, this abnormal behavior of the golem made Angel somewhat puzzled.

Benson has also used his mental power to detect the golem. Otherwise, if he found the golem with his naked eyes, he might not have time to avoid it.

It's fine for Benson to use his mental power to detect the goblins, so why is there a problem with Doakes' detection?

Because Doakes is officially a wizard?

But mental strength is not the criterion for judging an official wizard.

Moreover, Doakes is not a wizard who is good at mental power; many apprentices who specialize in spiritual power will not be much weaker than Doakes in mental strength.

If you meet an apprentice who is good at mental power and a wizard who is not good at mental power, it will be difficult for Angel to judge who is an apprentice and who is a formal wizard based on the intensity of fluctuations in their mental power alone.

That's why Angel felt something was wrong.The behavior of the clay puppet is too abnormal.

Equally anomalous, though, is... Doakes.

It wasn't his style for Doakes to offer to scout around and get off the field himself.This kind of investigation work, Doakes can completely hand over to Su Ling.

Besides, is it really necessary to explore the surroundings?

Their goal is very clear, that is, the clone of Suling.

The way to find the clone is very simple, just let Su Ling lead the way.Even if Su Ling's clone is not in the clay puppet maze, it doesn't matter.Big deal, just go through a few more space diaphragms.

This is the anomaly of Doakes.

In addition, Angel also saw something tricky from Doakes' expression.

He went to explore the way, maybe not only to explore the way, but also have other deep meanings?

Therefore, Angor did not raise any objections, but asked Doakes about his next plan.

Doakes: "There's no need to avoid it... After those slime goblins come over, take a closer look."

After a pause, Doakes said in a meaningful tone: "I have a feeling that these slime goblins will surprise us."

"What surprise?" Angel asked directly.

Doakes said mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will..."

However, before Doakes could finish speaking, Angel interrupted directly: "The fate of the Riddler is usually very miserable. Besides, haven't you been complaining about Wai's death divination? Why, now you are also learning from it." Are you talking about it?"

Doakes's expression froze, he looked away unnaturally, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Actually, my uncle is coughing... I don't know what will happen, it's just a vague feeling."

Angel glanced at Doakes, nodded and said, "I accept this answer."

Angel also knew the characteristics of Doakes' abilities.After all, he is not a sorcerer of prophecy and cannot see the real future. His abnormal behaviors are obviously dominated by inspiration.

And inspiration is more mysterious than prophecy.He didn't know what to expect, that's normal.

If you don’t know, you don’t know, just say it.

Since Doakes' inspiration directed them to face the swarm of golems, so it was.Angel didn't say anything more, but silently arranged illusion nodes.

Regarding the dialogue between Angor and Doakes, Kael felt that it was normal.But Benson on the other side was full of surprise.

He recognized Dox, but he didn't know Angor...or, in other words, he didn't know Angor after changing his face.

In Benson's mind, Doakes should be the center of the group.But now it seems that this red-haired and golden-eyed wizard is the backbone?But who is he?
When Benson looked at Angor in amazement, there were already bursts of roaring in the distance.

Along with the roar, the earth began to tremble.

Apparently, the group of slime goblins was getting close to them.

Seeing this, Benson also gave up thinking about Angel's identity. Instead, he took a deep breath and shrank back: "I, I..."

Benson's idea was to leave here first, but he was also worried that if he left, he would offend the two official wizards, so he stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Angel glanced at Benson, threw an illusion to cover him casually, and said: "The illusion lasts for half an hour, and within the illusion, normal slime goblins won't find you. You can choose to stay here , or leave.”

Benson didn't know if what Angor said was true or not, he couldn't believe everything the wizard said.

However, Benson still showed gratitude on the surface, and then backed away while saying words of gratitude.

After retreating more than ten meters, Benson still hasn't figured out how to say the words to leave.

Angel said lightly: "Go."

Benson froze for a moment, lowered his head and thanked Angel, then quickly turned and left.It is worth mentioning that this time the thanks are much more sincere than before.

No one stopped Benson from leaving, and no one chose to blame him.

If they were Benson instead, they would have made the same choice.

Compared with Benson who was thinking about leaving, the current situation is undoubtedly more worthy of attention.

Angel arranged another illusion for Kael and motioned him to step aside.Then, Angel arranged a trigger-type illusion node around himself and Doakes.

Can be activated at any time.

Whether or not to use illusion depends entirely on the specific situation at the moment.

At this time, dust and mist had begun to float in the passage ahead, and the ground shook wildly.They are obviously a group of apprentice-level monsters, but they have created a wizard-level aura.

Seeing that the Golem was coming, Doakes seemed to have discovered something again, and said to Angel: "You don't rush to do it, leave it to me here."

Angel nodded. He didn't trust Doakes very much, but he trusted his inspiration a lot.

Angel took a few steps back, quietly watching Doakes and the majestic group of slime goblins from behind.

……

To be precise, at this time it was no longer a group of mud puppets, but a torrent of monsters.

Their goal is very clear, without the slightest pause, they locked on Doakes and rolled over.

The dust is all over the surroundings, and it is difficult to even see the true face of the clay puppet, only the impact of the terrifying torrent can be felt.

And Doakes alone, standing just before the flood, seemed to have no fear of the golem.

His calmness seemed to have angered the goblins. They moved faster, rolling, jumping, and grinning, trying to crush and swallow Doakes completely.

There are even quite a few slime puppets, eyeing Angor.

Once Doakes was settled, the new target was Angor.

But before they could face Angel directly, they encountered Waterloo at Doakes' level.

With the power of one person, with that thin body, Doakes stopped the seemingly majestic and infinite torrent.

Even Angel couldn't help secretly praising this scene.

Doakes obviously didn't activate the bloodline, and he only held the slime monster with his physical strength, which is enough to prove the strength of Doakes.

As expected, the bloodline side is the bloodline side, the background of invincibility at the same level is just different... On Angel, he would not dare to play like this; of course, he can't afford it either.Except for the attached green-striped seeds, his projected bloodline is really not enough to look at. It is too weak at present, and it is difficult to use it.

After blocking the goblins, Doakes did not attack the group of monsters, but quickly walked through the monsters.

This behavior, in Angel's view, was full of weirdness.

But from the perspective of the puppets, Doakes' slippery behavior like a loach is like a provocation to them.

The mud puppets became even more angry. There were quite a few mud puppets that had already set their sights on Angor. It stands to reason that Doakes rushed into their group with no defense behind them. They could come and attack Angor; But at this moment, the provoked anger gained the upper hand, they completely ignored Angel's existence, and continued to attack Doakes one after another.

And Doakes seemed to feel that the provocation of "running into their team" was not enough, so he closed his eyes, looking completely at ease.

For a time, the narrow passage was filled with roars and roars.

"Master Hongjian is... what are you doing?" Kael's slightly hesitant voice came from the psychic belt.

Angel shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm looking for something?"

Angel said this because he noticed that Doakes' ears had been moving.He probably didn't close his eyes for provocation, but used a spell like 'balance of the five senses' to enhance his hearing by closing his eyesight.

However, Angor couldn't be sure what exactly Doakes was looking for.

Because he didn't know Doakes' target for the time being, Angel simply set his sights on the slime.

Before, the mud puppet came with a dusty body and a majestic momentum. For a while, I really couldn't see the appearance of the mud puppet.

But now, after being blocked by Doakes with his physical body, although these mud puppets became stronger, they also became slower, revealing their true colors.

I have to say that the slime puppet has a very unique personality.

In the eyes of most wizards, other non-human monsters are basically the same.

It's like ordinary people going to see a black panther. Even though the stripes and hair are obviously different, it is generally difficult for humans to distinguish the appearance characteristics of a black panther.I just feel that all the black panthers I meet look the same.

The oozes are different, each of them looks very different.

As their name suggests, they are a kind of clay doll: a doll made of mud.

Their clay sculptures have completely different images, including humans, cats and dogs, birds and fish...they are also completely different in size, the big ones are like tusks, and the small ones are like insects.

It looks exactly like "The Great Illustrated Book of Biology" - clay sculpture version.
