Chapter 63 Conjurer Ali
The seemingly invisible threat is always surrounding him, but there is no trace of the enemy in the entire mansion.
Thinking of the reminder of the mission, Fang Bo began to search consciously, and finally found a clue in the dry well in the yard.
Looking at the scattered soil around them, the two knew that the problem must be below. The spiders were able to roam freely in the town, probably because there were enough passages underground to move around.
Staring at the abyss below, Fang Bo was just about to let the giants go down to explore the way, but unexpectedly, his new teammate couldn't wait to take out an oil lamp.
"Hurry up. If you are late, it will be too late." After saying that, he jumped up, not caring whether there were traps below.
In fact, if the space can issue such a mission, there will basically be no situation where the hostage will be eaten in the next second.
As long as you don't delay too much, you will definitely have enough time to travel. The real difficulty lies in how to rescue the hostages from the ghost spider.
It should be easy to see such a simple truth, but it was difficult for Ali to maintain the most basic calmness.
His overly reckless behavior never seemed like it was just for hundreds of plot points. It felt more like he was worried about the safety of the hostages.
Thoughts that are obviously normal seem so weird to reincarnators.
"The sense of justice is a little too overwhelming." Fang Bo frowned subconsciously, recalling the scene when the two first met.
Ali used coins to kill the enemy. A treasure box was indeed revealed on the corpse, but this guy didn't even bother to pick up the box in order to save people.
There is nothing wrong with having a kind heart, it is better than that kind of guy who stabs you in the back, but having a holy heart too much is also a trouble.
"Let's observe first and then talk." Hearing the shouts coming from the dry well, Fang Bo also jumped down.
If Ali is really a virgin bitch, then the two of them should go their separate ways after the mission is over, otherwise it will definitely be a time bomb if he follows him around.
Stepping on the wet soil, Fang Bo followed the man and moved forward. The smelly air made him cover his mouth.
There is indeed a cave beneath the dry well. It cannot even be described as a simple passage. It is more like a fortress built after many years of hard work.
"It's very deep horizontally and vertically. It seems like those guys from Spider Mountain come here often."
In such a wide place, it is naturally impossible for there to be only one ghost spider. Soon there are enemies ahead blocking the way of the two.
"Human?!" Its expression was full of surprise. It felt like watching a crab jump into boiling water while eating hot pot.
Stretching out his sharp claws to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, the two people with excited faces rushed towards Guizhu.
"Leave it to me." Upon seeing this, Ali took out a kitchen knife and went forward without any hesitation.
Fang Bo, who has outstanding perception ability, can detect the special aura lingering on the kitchen knife, which shows that this seemingly ridiculous piece of equipment is definitely extraordinary.
"It's you who should die, monster." Ali avoided the head-on blow with nimbly movements, and turned around to cut off the two spider legs with a knife.
Before the enemy's body landed, a special blue energy appeared on the surface.
The man's right leg was like a whip, and he threw it hard at the tail of the ghost spider's body, causing it to hit the stone wall next to it. Then came a series of physical skills performances, and each attack could cause considerable damage.
Without using any special means, the seemingly powerful underground ghost spider was just beaten to death by Ali.
Staring at the blue halo on the opponent's sword, Fang Bo always felt that his teammate's ability was very familiar, and it was definitely a power that existed in his memory.
It's just that there are too few people watching it so far. If he can come a few more times, the details of this person's ability may not be hidden from him.
Perhaps sensing his probing gaze, Ali hesitated for a moment and actually took the initiative to explain the origin of his own abilities.
"Most of my abilities come from the magic of returning to the world. You can regard me as a mature magician." The man was very candid.
Hearing what he said, Fang Bo suddenly recognized that ability, which was actually a special manifestation of the "curse power" attached to it.
It's just that the skills used by reincarnators are all driven by mental power to simulate energy. This is the first time he has seen the use of "curse power".
In this regard, Ali gave this explanation.
"Mental power can simulate any kind of energy. As long as you exercise it more, you can recreate the unique system of the plot world."
"What are the benefits of doing this?" Fang Bo was curious.
He understood what the other party meant, and it was nothing more than simulating the power of a curse. If he wanted to, he could even simulate special material energies such as chakra, mind, energy, and spiritual power.
It looks cool, but there shouldn't be any difference in actual usage. He doesn't quite understand this weird behavior.
".I'm just used to it." Ali didn't explain much and seemed not to be ready to continue talking about this topic.
As a spellcaster, a man's attacks are naturally restrained against evil spirits.
In other words, there will be additional damage bonus when fighting ghost spiders.
The kitchen knife in his hand is not an ordinary weapon, but a magical tool with special effects. Looking at the painful look of the ghost spider, it is not difficult to know that it will cause additional damage to evil spirits.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Fang Bo was very sensible and did not continue to ask further.
It doesn't matter where his temporary teammates come from. What he cares about is whether the two can continue to cooperate. At least from now on, the chances are slim.
Turning his head to listen to the noise in the distance, Fang Bo raised his arm, and the dragoon aimed at the corner of the cave in the distance: "The news of our arrival must be hidden, and I will join the battle next."
As soon as he finished speaking, an armor-piercing bullet whizzed and hit the ghost spider's neck.
[Your armor-piercing projectiles cause 24+36 critical hits to the enemy]
Now that his teammates are by his side, Fang Bo can shoot with confidence without having to worry about safety issues during bullet reloading.
Although the attack at the neck has a damage bonus, the dragoon's damage is not enough to kill the ghost spider with a simple shot.
After all, it is not a powerful output weapon, but an auxiliary firearm that can add additional status. It is the last word to cooperate with other abilities to perform output.
It was like Ali at this moment, holding a kitchen knife and slashing at the struggling enemy on the ground, and his neck was cut off in an instant before he could fully recover.
Putting aside personality issues, at least the two sides have a tacit understanding of cooperation, especially Ali, who is a melee attacker. He does not just keep attacking, and he understands the importance of giving up output space at the right time.
This kind of awareness is not innate, but acquired through a lot of practical training. Fang Bo is sure that this person is definitely a character who has been in the Samsara team for a long time.
As for why he acted alone, that was not a question he needed to worry about.
"Perhaps the Holy Mother's Heart was too overflowing and someone kicked her out." Fang Bo's thoughts were full of malice.
He has the leisure to think wildly, which proves from the side that the two of them are in good condition. I have to admit that Ali has extremely rich combat experience and can deal with any emergencies calmly.
With his active performance, the entire advancement process was quite smooth, and it didn't take long before they arrived at a huge underground cave.
The poor member of the Demon Slayer Squad had been wrapped into a rice dumpling by spider silk and was hanging in the air, swinging desperately.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you now." Ali gripped the handle of the knife and began to look for a suitable rescue route.
Saving people is very simple. With Fang Bo's shooting skills at this time, he can easily shoot off the hanging spider silk. The problem is that there are too many ghost spiders crawling below. If these troubles are not solved, people will not be saved anyway.
"Sorry." Ali suddenly said in a low voice: "I'm not very good at group fighting. Do you have any good ideas?"
You're not good at it and yet you rush so hard?
Before Fang Bo could reply, something even worse soon happened.
[You are affected by poison, and 1 health point will be deducted every 3 seconds]
When he first came in, he noticed an irritating stench in the air.
I thought it was the smell of rotting corpses, but I didn't expect it to contain some kind of toxin.
In other words, even if they do nothing, their health will be reduced by 20 points every minute.
"What the hell." Fang Bo knew that he could no longer hide his shame.
With a thought, the summoning array began to appear at his feet. To be honest, he was also very curious about what kind of combat power the shikigami could exert in actual combat.
The shikigami summons, the new bride!
In Ali's shocked eyes, a larger spider monster appeared.
"Are you actually a summoner?!"
Ignoring his surprise, Fang Bo ordered the shikigami to directly use his strongest killing move.
I saw a terrifying concentration of mental power, and in the next second, seven small spiders transformed by energy rushed towards the enemy crazily.
Heart-eating and marrow-eating!
[The New Lady's skill Heart-Eating Marrow hits the target, causing 38 points of corrosive damage]
[Skill special effects are activated, and the target falls into a dazed state for 5 seconds]
The seven ghost spiders all stayed in place without exception. Taking this opportunity, the big spider head under the bride opened its mouth and released several extremely tough spider silks.
"Now!" Fang Bo pulled the trigger without hesitation and took the lead in attacking a ghost spider.
After Ali reacted, he quickly picked up his knife and rushed towards the other one. In the process, he did not forget to throw out two coins to help his companion's knife.
When the enemy regained consciousness and began to tear at the spider silk, there were only five ghost spiders left below.
"Damn it, who the hell are you?!" The ghost spiders were not very able to understand the existence of the new bride.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, they, who were experienced in fighting, simply used their strength together and directly pulled down the big spider that lacked strength.
However, this is exactly the effect Fang Bo wanted.
Under his command, the new woman who had just fallen to the ground ignored the bites of the same kind, raised the spider blade on her leg and started cutting wildly.
Toxins that can inhibit cell growth were quickly injected into the bodies of the ghost spiders.
