Chapter 64: Natural Magical Instrument
But in fact there is no need to poke a hole. Shi Li found that the gap in the window was very large and he could see it just by getting close to it.
Through the crack in the window, I could see the living room of this family, and I immediately noticed something strange.
There was a bird as big as a cow eating food inside.
The texture of its feathers is flaky, without the fine hairs found on ordinary bird feathers. Under the light, it reflects a faint glow of gold and iron.
There are two strange wavy lines on the hard-shelled beak, and it wriggles like a tapeworm as it opens its mouth to swallow.
Its tongue is very long, like a snake, and it licks the food on the side of its mouth from time to time. The tongue is forked.
The bird food was served in a basin, and it looked like it was some meat filling or something.
(Not normal, this is very abnormal.)
Shi Li could confirm almost at first sight that this was the monster he was looking for.
The hand holding the iron rod couldn't help but tighten a little.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from beside him.
"Do you want to play with my bird?"
"!!!"
The double trembling made Shi Li almost throw the iron rod in his hand directly towards the direction of the sound.
Ordinary people's houses often have a circle of earthen walls half a person's height built outside the house.
The sound came from a corner of the earth wall.
Due to the lighting problem, he just took a quick glance and didn't look closely.
Now there is actually a person hiding there, and he suddenly starts talking, which is really scary.
This is the reason for the first shudder.
As for the second reason, what kind of wolfish and tigerish words is this person speaking?
Turning my head, I saw that it was a fat man wearing a bathrobe.
His eyes were a little dazed, but his overall expression, combined with the atmosphere and light at the time, seemed gloomy.
Before Shi Li could talk to him, he heard strange bird calls in the house.
[Squeak!!!]
Obviously, he was discovered.
However, the next second, the surrounding time and space seemed to stand still.
Buzz!
A beam of blue light shot down from the sky and began to spread on the ground.
And that light also came with a force that pushed him backwards irresistibly.
Wherever the blue light reaches, everything becomes nothingness.
They did not disappear, but were temporarily blurred and could not affect the table.
Apart from himself, the only thing that was not turned into virtual was the demon bird.
"PVE has been triggered."
Shi Li felt a little regretful.
I haven't even used my stick yet, how come I'm already in PVE?
I looked down at my hand and saw that it was 6+1.
The opposite side has 2 rows and 3 columns, a total of 6 squares.
"I don't have any fuel mushrooms to keep me going this time. I have to be careful."
After thinking for a while, he began to arrange his deck.
The first thing to choose is the trump card.
It stands to reason that without the Gasoline Shroom, more attention should be paid to the survivability of the deck.
【Ahhh! 】
[Giant Zombie], the card with the strongest damage reduction ability in his deck, finally appeared where it was supposed to appear - the first row.
However , the second row is filled with [Two-Headed Captain], [Wild Fat Cat], and [Brotherly Mourning Beast] in order.
Although the opponent is a monster, definitely not a humanoid card, but [Brother's Funeral Beast] is worth 35 points, has good attack power, and also has 1 [Blindness] control.
[Wild Fat Cat], has the ability to continuously control.
It can restore additional wind-hearing energy and release [Fear] once every round.
[Two-Headed Captain], 30 points of output is pretty good. At the same time, he can sacrifice himself before dying to gain more rounds for his side.
As for the trump card, he finally chose [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] after some hesitation.
Because PVE enemies have no points.
Therefore, her [A little effort to achieve a great result] is not effective.
Compared to the previous 35-point C-level [Kung Fu Sheep Girl], it is considered to be weakened in the PVE game.
But even so, he thinks this is still a very strong card.
It has excellent damage avoidance ability, and an active skill that can control + output, and its sustainability is also excellent.
In my current deck, it is very suitable to be the trump card saved for the last.
So just like that, he arranged his deck.
【Great mourning】【Great mourning】【Great mourning】
【Two Heads】【Fat Cat】【Brother's Death】
【Vacant】【Sheep and Rabbit】【Vacant】
The moment the deck was placed, the time and space freeze on the demon bird was immediately lifted.
[Squeak!]
As it chirped again, the demon bird's entire body began to glow.
After it completely turned into a ball of light, the light was pulled into strips and drawn onto the card grid.
call out!
The card fell into place, and the projection turned into a monster bird again.
This is a card that occupies three horizontal slots, and its face is fully displayed under [Absolute Card Sense].
【Iron-feathered Sparrow】
Determined/Break, Attack 90, 1000/1000, 0/10
[Yao Qi - Passive]: When the Iron-Feathered Sparrow directly attacks a normal creature card, the damage caused is +30
[Feather Attack - 5 Energy]: Iron Feather Big Bird releases a feather attack to attack up to 6 cards in two rows, causing 20 damage each
[Blade Feather Guard - 5 Energy]: Iron Feather Bird enters [Defense] and deals 20 points of counter damage to the target that attacks it.
"Oh my god, this thing is pretty powerful."
After looking through the cards, Shi Li's expression became much more serious.
Probably because of the bonus from the PVE monster card, this card actually has both Determination and Breaking Strength.
That is to say, whether it is hitting someone or being hit, it can recover energy.
Then the normal creatures in the first skill [Yao Qi] should refer to humans, beasts, insects, aliens and the like.
Fortunately, the giant zombie beast does not belong to this category. It should be an abnormal creature in the direction of the undead.
It seems that putting it in the first line is a wise choice.
As for the second skill [Flying Feather Attack], it is an AOE with a very large range that can attack two rows of cards.
This type of damaging skill is generally dependent on distance and blockage, just like attacks.
That is to say, before the [Giant Zombie] in the first row falls, this AOE can only hit its own cards in the second row at most, and cannot hit the ace sheep and rabbit.
The third skill [Blade Feather Guard] is a defensive counterattack skill, and it is not too easy to deal with.
But overall, he was relatively unworried.
Even though this guy has 1,000 health points, all the cards on his side are worth 180 points, which means he has an output capacity of at least 180 points per round. It only takes 5 or 6 rounds to deal with him.
Of course, in actual operation, this simple calculation cannot be performed. It is only used as a reference.
Anyway, Shi Li felt that it would not be a problem to defeat it.
After confirming the behavior, the first round finally arrived.
[Squeak!]
The demon bird rushed out first and pecked the giant zombie beast hard.
However, under Shi Li's command, the giant zombie beast had already protected its head and taken a defensive posture.
-40
A not-so-powerful damage jumped out from above its head.
[Muscle Armor]: When a giant zombie [defends], the damage received is -10
10 points are deducted from the opponent's 90 attack points = 80 points, and then halved under [Defense] to equal 40 points. With this level of damage, it will take 5 rounds to kill the giant zombie.
【Mee-zha~! 】
【rush!】
【Ahhhh! 】
-25, -30, -35
As for Shi Li, he played three cards at the same time except the Fat Cat, which immediately knocked off 90 points of the Demon Bird's health, nearly one-tenth of it.
In this way, the two sides fought back and forth, and Shi Li gradually gained the upper hand by relying on control, defense and other operations.
When the health of the demon bird dropped to 500, the health of the cards on his side was still very healthy.
Except for the [Giant Zombie Beast], it has been under direct attack from the demon bird and its health is less than 100.
Looking at this situation, he felt that getting rid of the monster seemed quite simple.
However, just as the new round arrived, the situation suddenly changed.
[Squeak!]
"Here... comes... my master..."
The fat man who was originally standing outside the poker table had his time and space thawed.
I saw that he also began to light up, and then turned into three streams of light and fell in front of the monster bird.
"I was wondering why it only takes up one row of cards, but the other side has two rows of cards."
"So there is a blood volume-triggered mechanism?"
Shi Li looked at this scene, but he still didn't quite understand.
That is, this fat man is obviously still a person, but why would he... split into three parts?
But the answer was immediately revealed.
[At your service, Master!] x3
When this fat guy got to the poker table, he turned into three people!
"No, they are different."
But as he looked at the cards carefully, he immediately found the clue.
At first glance, the faces of these three cards are the same.
[Demon Puppet]
Balance, Attack 20, 200/200
【? 】?
200 health and 20 attack, the three cards together are quite threatening.
But this cannot be hidden from me who possesses [absolute card sense].
Two of the cards have the same skills.
[Demon Puppet]
Balance, Attack 20, 200/200
[Illusion]: The phantom behaves the same as the entity, but its actual attack power is 0
These two cards are on the left and in the middle.
That is to say, the actual attack power of these two cards is 0, but when the three cards attack a target together and cause a total of 20 points of damage, it is actually impossible to tell which one is real and which one is fake.
Of course, if the control effect is used, it can be verified through several rounds of elimination.
For example, control puppet B first. If the combined attack of puppet A and puppet C can cause real damage, then the main body is between A and C.
If A+C does no harm, then the entity is B.
However, Shi Li didn't need to go through so much trouble, as he had already seen which original body it was based on the difference in skills.
[Demon Puppet]
Balance, Attack 20, 200/200
[Guilt - Passive]: When the Demonic Puppet leaves the field, you will be forced to discard the row of cards closest to it.
"You mean you were discarded because you accidentally killed someone?"
"And once you abandon a group, it's a heavy price to pay."
Since the one on the right is the real one, just don't touch it.
"But then again, a monster that can control humans really isn't a spiritual monster?"
"The one without IQ is the one in control? That's weird."
Although he had doubts, Shi Li did not show any mercy at the card table.
A phantom without attack power is just a defensive sandbag for the opponent. After breaking through it, you can continue to attack the demon bird. There is no big problem.
After several more rounds, in the round when he lost the giant zombie beast, he reduced the health of the demon bird to 0.
[Squeak...ah... ! ]
The demon bird lying on the ground raised its neck with all its might, and let out a cry that seemed to be filled with unwillingness.
Buzz...
The blue light began to fade.
When it completely dissipated, everything around it was restored and time and space were completely thawed.
Plop!
The fat young man, whom Shi Li had not touched throughout the whole process, fell headfirst to the ground.
The big bird in the house was already lying there dying.
“It’s over.”
Shi Li picked up the iron rod and pushed the door open with one hand.
My own stick hasn’t had enough fun yet.
However, he didn't know whether to leave the monster alive, so he didn't use any heavy hands.
Just stretched out the stick and poked it a little.
Hiss…
As soon as the iron rod touched the surface of the big bird, a burning smoke came out.
The big bird, which was already almost unable to move, began to tremble.
“It seems to be working.”
After taking back the stick, Shi Li thought that his efforts to upgrade the iron stick were not in vain.
He walked out of the house again and checked on the fat man.
It’s okay, I can breathe.
After thinking about it, he decided to try to wake the other person up.
Then he raised one arm high and uttered a mysterious and ancient spell.
"Wake up, you f*cking kid."
Bang!
A slap landed on the fat cheek.
As a result, except for the fat trembling, the man had no reaction at all.
"It's over. There's probably no hope of saving it."
Shi Li’s knowledge of rescue almost ended at this point.
But then again, if we leave the other person here exposed to the night wind, he might catch a cold or his body might become cold.
So he dragged it into the house again, brought a bench and an iron rod to guard the man and the monster to prevent any unexpected situations.
After sitting there for a few minutes, he felt that this was not a solution.
So we decided to let the hound go out to find someone to help, even if it was just to wake up the neighbors next door to help report to the police.
"What's going on?"
As a result, before the hound stepped out of the house, it heard a familiar voice coming from the door.
Except thirteen, here we are.
In fact, he was already nearby when the game started.
We followed the trail of evil spirit before, but lost the clue near a small river.
He turned around to look for Shi Li, but when he passed by, he sensed the outbreak of fighting spirit.
When I rushed over to take a look, I discovered this shocking scene.
What was surprising was not the giant bird monster, but...
"You...defeated this monster?"
When this was said, first of all, Thirteen himself didn't believe it.
The Iron-Feathered Sparrow is, in some ways, a more difficult monster to deal with than the Lust|Spark Demon from last night.
The Lust|Spark Monster can be slightly restrained by means of fire extinguishing, while metal monsters such as the Iron-Feathered Great Sparrow do not have such obvious shortcomings and perform well on both offense and defense.
Especially for the monsters of the Iron-Feathered Great Sparrow race, their intelligence is almost approaching that of spiritual monsters.
Usually they are called semi-spiritual monsters, and there is a certain chance that they will break through and develop specific wisdom and become spiritual monsters.
The reason why there is the profession of demon hunter is because demons are extremely difficult to get rid of for ordinary people.
The most common obstacle for ordinary people to exorcise monsters is that they are unable to effectively harm the monsters.
This is especially true for the Iron-feathered Great Sparrow, which has iron-feather defense.
"Is this thing of yours a magical weapon?!"
But immediately, Chu Shisan found the answer in Shi Li's hands.
If he saw it correctly, he saw a strange effect similar to magic surrounding the iron rod.
"Well... sort of."
Shi Li threw the iron rod lightly and it circled in the air a few times.
"Give it to me, let me see it."
However, Chu Shisan frowned and reached out to take it.
Things like magical instruments have special methods of use.
It is impossible for ordinary people to grasp the tricks and tips without several years of training.
What happened to Shi Li really made him feel a little weird, so he had to take it seriously.
“Yes.”
Shi Li just gave a slightly meaningful smile and handed over the iron rod.
A player's equipment cards are exclusive and cannot be easily touched even by other players.
He had experimented with this with Mushroom and Straw Man in the [City of Zombie Beasts].
Even with the great strength of the straw man at that time, he couldn't lift the mushroom gun that looked light as a mushroom, nor could he pull the trigger.
When Chu Shisan grabbed the iron rod, Shi Liyi let go.
Bang!
Sure enough, the iron rod hit his hands, and his hands hit his body, causing him to fall to his knees on the ground.
“?!”
Except for Thirteen, everyone was stunned on the spot.
He could clearly feel that the iron rod was not heavy for him, but when it fell, he was pulled to the ground without any resistance.
In an instant, he thought of a noun.
"Heaven, a magical weapon!"
A natural magic weapon is a magic weapon that belongs to someone uniquely and is innate.
The owner does not need to learn any techniques to master it, and it is possible to upgrade the magic weapon through various means in the future.
But something like a natural magic weapon is something that is rare to come by.
"Master, it turns out you are a genius!"
Now he found that everything made sense.
Shi Li was born with supernatural powers, and if he also had a magical weapon in his hand...
There were no signs of fighting around or in the house, which meant he must have attacked them by surprise.
To sum up, it is not impossible to take down a large iron-feathered bird single-handedly!
Suddenly, an idea came to Chu Shisan's mind.
He felt that he really needed to teach the other party the art of exorcising demons.
With natural magic weapon and natural supernatural power, he is simply the perfect template for a demon slayer.
Maybe this person can really make a name for himself in the demon-hunting business in the future.
When the time comes, I can say that I was the one who taught him, and he will be proud of it!
"Master! Special training! We will start special training tomorrow!"
His eyes sparkled a little.
"Well, go check on this guy first."
Shi Li was not interested in the special training and pointed at the fat man lying on the ground.
"Oh oh, I almost forgot!"
Chu Shisan patted his head and went forward to check.
At this time, a new mission sounded in Shi Li's ears.
[Ding Dong! ]
【5th stage completed】
[Mission Stage 6, follow Chu Shisan to learn how to exorcise monsters, and continue to search for the source of monsters]
