Pastor's Tantra

"There's something big down there in the swamp, be careful."

As soon as Sherlock summoned the Clay Eagle, he immediately warned his companions: "When I summoned the Clay Eagle, I felt a lot of pressure coming from the swamp."

The original "feel" when summoning the clay eagle should be like pulling out a few clumps of mushy dough halfway through kneading. But Sherlock felt that when he was pulling, the dough was squeezing his hand from all directions...

That usually means something huge is swimming in the swamp. Hence the pressure in the swamp. Either there is some kind of barrier underneath this swamp.

Just in case, Sherlock first reminds you of the most dangerous possibility.

And soon, his reminder came into use——

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, causing Sherlock to stumble and almost fall.

At this moment, a gray thread came out from behind him and hung him on the tree.

Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could say thanks, the ground began to shake more violently for the second time——

It was a strange and huge creature that was fifteen or six meters long and carried an oval carapace.

It looks like a giant turtle, a turtle, or a cockroach. The widest carapace is about six to seven meters long, and its volume is six times larger than Haina's bedroom at home. And those trees were pushed out directly by it.

Its head was made of ferocious white bones, but the gaps between the bones were completely blocked by moist and soft mud, making its head look like a giant taro.

And its limbs are not flat like a turtle, but thick and powerful - also made of white bones and clay. The carapace on its body is made of thick black rock.

As soon as it appeared, it swallowed a headless undead that was close to it. It made a crunching sound like chewing some kind of crunchy snack.

Aiwass suddenly became serious.

"This is a Mud Turtle," Aiwass warned. "At least level four—and this thing lives in groups!"

This thing is a classic social mob in version 0.

It's not very powerful, but it's disgusting...because they are mine-triggered monsters. After stepping on one of them, a large area will rise up from all directions, surrounding people in an instant. And with such a large size, it is easy to separate the team... and if the crispy profession is left alone, it is still very dangerous even if the level is crushed.

Generally speaking, the bigger this thing is, the more powerful it is, but there are no other mud turtles to compare with, and Aiwass is not sure whether this thing is large or medium-sized.

It also has a sixth-level version of the elite monster called the Dragon Skeleton Turtle - after devouring a large number of bones, it turned into a dragon-headed undead wearing a tortoise shell. Even though he is not a dragon, he can still breathe out dragon breath.

...but this thing is considered a miscellaneous soldier if you put 0, but now it is not!

Facing a giant tortoise who is two meters tall when lying down, three or four meters tall when standing up, and fifteen or six meters long... it is really difficult for them to deal with it.

The mud turtle is obviously very aggressive.

As soon as it appeared, it let out an extremely unpleasant roar.

It was like a sound that was stuck in the throat, but it caused a very terrifying change.

Earthy yellow ripples spread from its body in circles, softening the originally soft mud and making it more viscous and softer. It was no longer able to exert force normally, and it was so slippery and disgusting. But it was able to swim freely from the mud, and its speed became faster.

Fortunately, Lily was there - she reacted immediately and hung her teammates on the tree one by one. Stepping on the tree branch, letting the gray spider web fix his body.

When the mud turtle crashed into the tree under someone, Lily immediately swung her fingers and swung the companion on the tree to another place.

At least they should be safe until the surrounding trees are knocked down...probably.

"What's its weakness?"

Sherlock asked Aiwass urgently.

For some reason, he subconsciously felt that Aiwass should understand.

It should be said that as expected...

Aiwass replied without hesitation: "There is a large piece in the middle of the back! But the thickness of the carapace on the back is close to one meter..."

If the level of this thing's melee profession is high, it can be killed directly by climbing up and stabbing one by one.

But now, at least neither Lily holding a dagger, nor Haina with bare hands... nor the young gryphon are clearly easy to deal with. It's not that it can't be beaten, but the attack range is too short and it really can't penetrate the sticky, slippery, mud-covered rock armor.

Even among monsters, this thing would still be considered a dung monster... The hard shell is covered with a thick layer of mud, and it can continuously create dirt, and it can slide around and run very fast. If you feed it the undead, it can recover its blood.

The most important thing is that the mud armor behind it is not an undead organization, but pure rock. Even the purification of Aiwass cannot purify it.

Aiwass hesitated for a moment, whether he should directly summon the Flame-Contrary Butterfly.

... But the problem is not just as simple as beating up the monsters and opening them up.

It's because this is a swamp or a dense forest. There is marsh gas everywhere, and this forest is connected to the surrounding mountains and forests.

If the turret-type summoning object Paraflame Butterfly is used here... it may directly trigger a large-scale wildfire.

But Aiwass made up his mind.

If they are really in danger, they will never hold back even if they pay this price...

"Let me try it first!"

Sherlock shouted decisively.

——In this complicated situation, it’s time for the mage to take action.

He casually grabbed a clay eagle from the side and turned it into pure elements.

Aiwass reminded: "Don't hit it with earth attribute attacks!"

"You didn't tell me earlier!"

Sherlock cursed: "Lily, throw the wine in my backpack over here!"

He is too small now, so his luggage is placed on Lily's side.

And Lily responded quickly.

Sherlock had already put those things in categories, and she easily found the glass wine bottle that was about one finger high and looked like lipstick.

She quickly threw the thing towards Sherlock. Sherlock directly raised the earth element in his hand and rolled it over.

The brittle glass was shattered in an instant. The glass and the alcohol in it were mixed into the vortex in Sherlock's hand, and drastic changes immediately occurred. A thick flame rolled out from it, crackling and burning.

Aiwass recognized Sherlock's spell.

This is "Sharp Rock Spear", an earth attribute spell.

But Sherlock has obviously learned the secret of attribute transformation. He now uses alcohol mixed with part of the fire attribute mana to cast this spell.

——But can this thing penetrate tortoise shell?

But Aiwass quickly realized that Sherlock was not trying to penetrate the tortoise shell, but to penetrate through the flesh part!

Rocks can't be walked through, but skeletons can still walk through mud!

In this case...

Aiwass had an idea.

He took out two tubes of chamomile essential oil and helichrysum essential oil from his pocket, crushed their stoppers, and then poured the two tubes of essential oil directly into the palm of his left hand.

"I worship Si Zhu, the god whose holy number is three, the god who binds the body with sin thorns, the god who burns the body and chases away darkness——"

Aiwass chanted loudly: "Give me the purifying fire!"

The essential oil in his hand burned immediately, emitting a golden flame.

And Aiwass quickly covered Sherlock's right hand with the burning flame in his left hand, startling him.

"you--"

Sherlock was about to curse, but found that his spell was not disturbed.

Instead, the golden flame was sucked in, accelerating the formation of his spell.

Finally, the flame in Sherlock's hand was restrained into an arrow without a tail.

But its tip burned with golden fire.

Sherlock glanced at Aiwass in disbelief, then gritted his teeth and released this spell he had never seen before.

I saw a golden light flying by - Sherlock used his will to guide the hit of the spell.

It drilled through the mud turtle's head. The purifying fire melted the bones instantly, and the remaining mud was unable to stop Sherlock's spell.

It easily penetrated into the body of the mud turtle.

After a while, it swayed and fell down. Little bits of fire can be seen bursting out from the body, and the bones are quietly burning with golden flames, gradually disappearing into nothingness. And the mud lost its support and gradually melted.

It soon lost its form, leaving only its huge shell. and silt blocking five breaches.

"It's really dangerous..."

Aiwass sighed: "It seems that we..."

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a prompt appear in front of him:

[Kill the fourth level monster and gain 26 free experience points]

Um?

Aiwass suddenly raised his head, and his eyes lit up.

--has experience?

"...It seems we have to help the villagers clean up. Otherwise, it will be bad if they are in danger."

Aiwass immediately changed his words.
