The Witcher starts by getting the inspiration panel

Chapter 121 Bone Armor and the Troll Mantis

[The host chose innovation, please specify another or more witchcraft. 】

"Trick to control the skeleton!" Li Cha was overjoyed, and immediately recited silently.

[The control level of controlling the skeleton has reached the limit and meets the innovation requirements. This innovation will generate a new zero-level witchcraft, which requires 14521 energy points.The current energy point is satisfied, start to innovate! 】

【Ding!Generate a new zero-level sorcery: exoskeleton armor]

[Exoskeleton Armor: Consume mental power, manipulate skeletons and assemble them around yourself or your allies, and protect them like a shield.A witchcraft medium is required to perform the spell: a skeleton. 】

Subsequently, the new witchcraft, the five witchcraft runes involved, witchcraft models and spells, etc. were also displayed.

Moreover, the witchcraft medium needed to perform witchcraft is the same as before, requiring a skeleton, and there are no other additional requirements.

Li Cha was overjoyed immediately, it seemed that the hard work of the past few days was not in vain.

In addition to the surprise, it is thinking.

Li Cha thought about it: "The name of the exoskeleton armor clearly reveals that it is also a zero-level witchcraft that tends to protect.

There is a high probability that it is affected by the dark element shield. After all, I chose to combine a defensive zero-level witchcraft with an offensive-oriented trick.Based on this, the inspiration panel has carried out some kind of fusion innovation. "

Li Cha retrieved the panel and took a look. After the innovation, the newly added zero-level witchcraft is now displayed separately in the [Witchcraft] column: exoskeleton armor (entry 1%).

The innovative witchcraft is a little better, it is just getting started, and there is no need to spend time on pre-settings or anything.

But think about it, isn't this what it should be? After all, the front of the exoskeleton armor is: zero-level witchcraft dark element shield and trick control skeleton.

And these two items have already reached their limits.

Moreover, Li Cha guessed that this newly added zero-level witchcraft would improve quickly.

Because there are precedents in this regard, for example, manipulating skeletons and summoning skeletons are only related to a certain degree, but if one of the two is at a higher level, the other will be improved rapidly.

In contrast, the correlation between exoskeleton armor and dark element shields and controlling skeletons is much higher!
It's a pity that there are not enough energy points now, otherwise, the speed of improvement can be verified immediately.

Now that the new zero-level witchcraft is in hand, Li Cha certainly wants to try the effect.

Ask Fingart to find a random murloc skeleton as a medium for witchcraft.

With the sound of the spell, the skeleton of the entire skeleton was controlled by Richard's tentacles of mental power, and began to assemble along his body.

The skeleton of the head part covers Li Cha's entire face, presenting a white fish head shape!

Huh!wrong!Fish head shape!

That's right, my original skeleton was placed in the school, but I didn't bring it here. It was found by Fingart secretly, a skeleton that used to be a high-level murloc warrior.

"However, the shape of this fish head is really funny! Next time, we have to find a human skeleton!" Li Cha secretly slandered.

The frontal defense of the chest is not bad. The front chest is protected by dozens of ribs, but the back is hollow, similar to the evening dresses worn by women in previous lives, with the entire back exposed. Overall, it can be regarded as a half-enclosed defense.

But the defense of the limbs is obviously more embarrassing. For example, in the arm, only the ulna and radius are parallel to his arm, and the protection of the two slender bones is not even half surrounded.

However, if practicality is not considered too much, this witchcraft is definitely the kind that looks great.

A few seconds later, Li Cha, who was dressed in bone armor, appeared majestically in the room, except that the shape of the fish head was a bit funny.

Li Cha thought for a while, the owner in front of his skeleton is a high-level murloc warrior, so the hardness is high enough. From this point of view, the most practical scenario for his skeleton armor should be used to deal with weapons such as swords and axes The slashing must have good protection.

As for the protection against arrows, it is much weaker, after all, there are too many gaps between the bones.

For the defense of witchcraft, it must not be very good, and the splash damage cannot be defended at all.

So, from the current point of view, this is a new zero-level witchcraft with a few application scenarios.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

The person who came was Fingart. Basically, apart from Fingatt, there were no other murlocs in the entire murloc camp that would bother Richard.

Therefore, as soon as Richard heard someone knocking on the door, he knew it must be Fingart.

What if it wasn't Fingart but someone sneaked up?Hey, the skeleton guardian behind that door is not a vegetarian either.

"Master, the warriors of our tribe found a trace of a troll mantis in a keel fern bush in the gray fern wilderness, do you see?"

Fingart reported respectfully at the door.

After hearing this, Li Cha's eyes lit up immediately. He had been hunting monsters for three days in a row, but he had never encountered the troll mantis. This time it finally came.

"Arrange people, bring your tower shields and fishing nets! We will leave in half an hour." Li Cha said vigorously.

"Yes, master!" Fingart bowed respectfully, and slowly exited the room.

The murloc's tower shield is similar in shape to the surface human's tower shield, but the material is quite different. It is made of the roots of a rather heavy and hard ironwood fern as the skeleton, and then covered several layers by a dark water lake. Special fish skin made from rubber fish.

The skin of this kind of fish is like the rubber used to make car tires in Li Cha's previous life. It is extremely tough. An ordinary knight's long sword needs to be hacked several times at the same wound before it can be split open.

If the skin of this kind of rubber fish is professionally tanned and dried by the murloc tribe, its toughness can be raised to another level.

In addition, the fishing net is also made of a mutated piranha vine, which is very difficult to cut after being soaked in a special medicinal liquid from the murloc tribe.

These two things can be said to be the key to killing the troll mantis. They are the blood and tears experience summed up time and time again when the murloc tribe hunted and killed the troll mantis.

After all, the prophets of the murloc tribe have often tried to make extremely difficult medicines such as Mutated Heart, and the raw materials consumed are quite expensive.

Therefore, this time, Li Cha can be said to stand on the shoulders of the murloc prophets and hunt the troll mantis, which is considered to be a big deal.

The troll mantis is different from the monsters that Richard killed before, it has wings!

According to the servant Fingart's description, the troll mantis moves super fast. Once it finds that it is invincible, it will immediately flap its wings and flee, and it will not even be able to catch up.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring multiple fishing nets. During the battle, trap it layer by layer to restrict its movement. Otherwise, even if you can defeat it, you will definitely not be able to keep it.

Moreover, the troll mantis is very vengeful. If it can't be killed, it will turn around and trouble the murloc tribe when it recovers from its injuries.

In this regard, the previously powerful blind murloc tribe suffered several losses.

After everything was ready, Li Cha and his party of dozens of people set off fully armed and rushed to the keel fern where the troll praying mantis was infested.

A few hours later, after picking up the mutant crab demon controlled by the Soul-eating Demon Spider, the group arrived at the keel fern bush in a mighty way.

"Master, in the past when our tribe hunted the troll mantis, we always searched for a small valley in advance and ambushed in advance. Look, should we find a suitable place first?" Fingart said softly from the side.

"Valley? Why not find a cave, wouldn't it be easier to restrict the actions of the troll mantis?" Richard asked curiously.

"Master, this troll mantis is cautious by nature, and rarely enters caves where it is restricted from flying."

"Then hurry up and find a suitable valley. By the way, should I let the mutant crab monster hide aside first, otherwise, as soon as the mutant crab monster appears, the troll mantis may start to run away." Li Cha nodded Headway.

"Wise master, I praise you!"

"Okay, stop flattering and hurry up to do your work."

Since there were other murlocs present, Li Cha specifically told Fingart not to call him master, and he didn't need to be overly cautious, but Fingart still secretly called him master, which made Li Cha annoyed and funny.

After all, his external identity is just a "wandering wizard" hired by Fingart.

Therefore, Fingart was very polite to himself, which was reasonable, but nodding and bowing, this was a bit too much, and it was easy for other murlocs to see the clues. For Richard who wanted to stay hidden behind the scenes, he still needed to pay attention.

Following Fingart's arrangement of dozens of murloc warriors, after careful searching, they soon found a narrow valley that could be used as an ambush point.

A group of murloc fighters were divided into several teams according to the division of labor, such as the net-throwing team, the tower shield team, etc., and laid ambushes in various positions in the valley. Tower Shield, ready to meet the Troll Mantis in the valley.

The mutant crab demon was arranged by Li Cha in the downwind direction, in a depression near the entrance of the valley, and a large number of broad-leaved ferns were deliberately placed for cover and camouflage.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Cha pointed the bone summoning stick forward, and on the ground in front of him, a huge light green inverse pentagram magic circle appeared in an instant. Three skeleton archers and a skeleton berserker, from Climb out quickly.

This time, Li Cha considered that there is already a mutant crab monster in the meat shield, which must be enough, so he didn't choose to summon the skeleton guardian holding a sword and shield.

Because, if the mutant crab monster can't stand it, then it's useless to summon more skeleton guardians.

So, this time he specially summoned three rangers and one melee.

The skeleton berserker has a very important task this time, which is to help Li Cha test the protective ability of the bone armor, because in Li Cha's judgment, the bone armor should be the most suitable for the scene in front of him - the troll mantis "big knife" hack.

At this time, Li Cha began to tiptoe forward and observed the troll mantis eating not far ahead.

I saw a huge "alien version" mantis magnified dozens of times, with a pair of barbed forelimbs, holding a steel bristle wild boar weighing hundreds of catties, eating with relish, mouthparts With the opening and closing of the middle and strong upper jaw, the thick wild boar skin was easily torn apart.

The troll mantis is similar to the mantis in Li Cha's previous impression, with a light green body and excellent concealment in the jungle.

The most eye-catching, of course, is its pair of "big knives", which have a row of hard and sharp sawtooths. It is estimated that if they are hacked, Li Cha feels that even the special tower shields and fishing nets prepared by the murlocs will not be able to hold on. too long.

Secondly, it is the pair of light green wide wings on the back. If you distinguish carefully, you can vaguely see that there is a pair of thin inner wings under the big wings, which means that the troll mantis actually has two pairs of wings.

Li Cha thought to himself: "It seems that what Fingart said is true, judging from bionics, this structure of large and small wings is very conducive to short-distance sprint flight and sudden change of direction.

The troll mantis must move extremely fast and dodge flexibly.

In this case, the seduction plan that I originally arranged must be slightly changed. "

It seems that hunting the troll mantis also has great requirements on the hunter's attack power, and if it lasts for a long time, it will be easy to be escaped by it.

But at this point, there is a mutant crab demon, which is Li Cha's strength. At present, as long as the troll mantis is led to the preset battlefield, there is a high probability that it will kneel.

Li Cha arranged the three skeleton archers in sequence on a straight line between the valley and the troll mantis.

"Hoo!" The skeleton archer closest to the troll mantis aimed three arrows at the troll mantis' abdomen.

This is exactly the secret bow and arrow technique that Li Cha possessed the skeleton archer, using multiple shots!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The troll mantis reacted extremely quickly, and the two "big knives" flipped like flying, knocking all three arrows into the air in an instant, and none of the arrows hit the body.

Seeing this, Li Cha's pupils shrank!
"So fast!"

The troll mantis, whose feeding was interrupted, was obviously very angry at the skeleton archer. In an instant, it dropped the steel-bristle wild boar clamped between its forelimbs, and rushed towards the skeleton archer. In two or three seconds, it was instantly crossed.

At this time, the No.1 skeleton archer turned around and ran for four or five meters when he was overtaken by the troll mantis.

The skeleton archer quickly raised his bow to parry, but it was useless!
"Shua, Shua, Shua!" The huge sharp and serrated forelimbs slashed dozens of times in a row. Three seconds later, only a pile of smashed bones remained where the skeleton archer was.

And Li Cha gave the skeleton archer a dark element shield in advance, which only made him last for two more seconds!

That's right, it only lasted two seconds longer!
It's not that Li Cha's ultimate-level dark element shield is not strong enough, but that the troll mantis's "big knife" slashes too fast. Within a second, he slashed more than ten times from all angles.

Who can resist this!
"Hiss! This attack power is amazing!" Li Cha's expression was dull for a while.

After killing the skeleton archer, the troll mantis showed a very anthropomorphic expression of satisfaction on his face, roughly saying: "How dare you disturb me for dinner, I will kill you!"

Seeing this scene in the distance, the murlocs also thought that the "Wandering Wizard"'s lure plan had failed, and they were immediately discouraged.

Suddenly, the No.2 skeleton archer arranged by Li Cha shot another arrow closer to the valley.

Hearing the sharp sound of piercing through the air again, the troll mantis turned around in an instant, and at a speed so fast that an afterimage could be seen, "one knife" split the cold arrow flying!

This sneak attack again made the troll mantis furious. This time, two pairs of wings fluttered at the same time!
"Buzz!"

This time, the high-frequency vibrating wings covered the same distance in just over a second, and rushed to the No.2 skeleton archer.

Under a storm-like "big knife" cutting, Li Cha, who was not far away, seemed to feel the sharp air blowing towards his face, making him shudder.

In an instant, the No. 2 skeleton archer also followed in the footsteps of the No. 1 skeleton archer and was chopped into bones.

The last one can be used to cook pork rib soup, but this one is so finely chopped that it can only be used to paint walls.

Li Cha couldn't help sighing when he saw it: "Guys, go back to the undead world to rest for a while, and I will avenge you later!"

It seems that the troll mantis who was attacked for the second time was really angry!

However, this also allowed Li Cha to observe on the spot that the speed at which the troll mantis was attacking with all its strength was astonishingly fast!
When the troll mantis turned around and continued to eat again, the No.3 skeleton archer who was hiding at the mouth of the valley started again.
"Whoosh!"

This time, the troll mantis went mad for an instant, so, without even thinking about it, he flew towards the valley where No. 3 skeleton archer was located, as fast as thunder!
