Enhanced species, special monsters that will be spawned in dungeons very occasionally.
Compared with other monsters of its kind, this special monster is not much different in appearance, but it possesses extremely high intelligence.
For the dungeon, the enhanced species is not actually a part of the defense system, but more like a cancer cell, because it will hunt other monsters and swallow crystal cores to upgrade in order to enhance its own strength.
And for adventurers, it is indeed a real monster.
In one word, enhanced species are alternative existences that are not suitable for both dungeons and adventurers.
As a player who is familiar with the plot, Luo Jie actually knows another name for the enhanced species - "Heretic".
Yes, it is the third force hiding in the dungeon in the third season of the main animation of "Di Wrong".
The senior leaders of the Adventurer's Guild have actually known about the existence of "Heretics" for a long time, but for some special reasons, they have tightly sealed the news. Ordinary adventurers only think that the opponent is a slightly smarter elite monster, and use "Enhanced" species" to call it.
Of course, no matter how miserable the situation of the "heretic" in the original work is, from the moment it attacks the adventurers, there is no possibility of reconciliation with the adventurers.
"First team, prepare to fight! Others protect the vehicles!"
The archer's first wave of attacks arrived first, and a dozen arrows flew up the short cliff as fast as lightning. Except for a few that got stuck in the moss on the "moss giant's" body, the other arrows either slipped away or bounced away.
Immediately following the rain of arrows, there was the high-speed chanting of the magicians. The red of the fire element, the green of the wind element, the blue of the water element, and the large and small magic circle halos continued to draw extremely terrifying power from the space.
The "moss giant" also sensed the approaching danger, grabbed a huge rock weighing hundreds of kilograms with its thick arms, and threw it condescendingly towards the array of chanting magicians.
"Asshole! Don't you take me seriously!"
"Bert the Fierce Wolf" rushed at the front of the team and smashed the falling rock with a flying kick.
"Well done! Bert, you are very motivated today!"
The short-haired Amazon girl "Big Sever-Tiona" laughed, her energetic flat figure quickly passed over the falling "Wolf-Burt", and the heavy alien weapon [Big Double Blade Urga] let out a tear The air screamed, spinning and flying towards the two-meter-high "moss giant" on the top of the cliff.
Behind the expedition team, the fierce fighting made several members of the "Lucoa" family brought out by Luo Jie feel ready to make a move.
"Your Majesty Nightmare, can I help?"
The girl who is always full of energy "Red Jungka-Alyshe" volunteered.
Although she killed many monsters that slipped through the net along the way, she was still unable to exert her lv.5 strength. It was rare to encounter an enhanced species of unknown level, which made her feel a little bit happy.
"Wait, something doesn't feel right."
Luo Jie's mental attributes at this moment were as high as 5400, and the [supersensory intuition] ability that came with it was extremely sharp. Although the fierce battle was raging on the battlefield ahead, he always had a faint feeling that there seemed to be some danger approaching from the empty rear.
"Lyu, start singing magic now!"
"Half Wind-Lyu" was startled for a moment. The position of the "Moss Giant" on the short cliff was obviously beyond the maximum range of her magic. However, she still faithfully carried out Luo Jie's orders. The wooden sword [Elven Streamer] in her hand focused on the starting point. Bright light.
"——The forest sky is now far away, and the infinite stars are embedded in the infinite night sky..."
boom--!
The [Big Double Blade Urga] fell from the sky and pierced through the rough bark-covered chest of the "Moss Giant", and the thick blade penetrated the rock below for more than half a foot.
The tall body of the "Moss Giant" turned into wisps of black mist, but no crystal cores were seen falling.
"Oops! It's a clone!"
The "Moss Giant" can use severed limbs to create a clone with simple instincts, which can confuse the opponent like a gecko's tail and help the main body escape.
However, this kind of clone skill has always been passively triggered. They have never seen a "moss giant" take the initiative to cut off its limbs to create a clone.
boom--!
The river water near the rear team suddenly exploded, and a super-large "moss giant" six meters high jumped out of the water. A naturally occurring crystal hammer spear was thrown far away, spinning and smashing into the rear team's back. Among the magicians, a bloody storm instantly broke out.
"Lyu!"
"Fengfeng-Liu" finally understood Luo Jie's intention of asking her to sing in advance. She finished the last syllable quickly, and a dazzling light like a small sun burst out from the wooden sword in her hand [Elf Streaming Light].
——"Starlight Wind"!
In an instant, countless gorgeous light spots burst out from the top of the wooden knife, and the countless meteors that suddenly bloomed were like giant goldenrods blooming in the sky.
Boom boom boom——!
The huge body of the "Moss Giant" completely became a target for "Hayate-Lyu". The dark green moss skin on its body continued to burst and shatter under the bombardment of magic, revealing the rough dark brown bark underneath.
The "Moss Giant" let out a howl of pain. When it realized that the sneak attack had been revealed, it turned around and tried to escape back into the water. At this moment, a scorching ray penetrated his chest from behind, almost hitting his core. spar.
"Did you miss... I'm still not good at sniping at moving targets."
Luo Jie curled his lips indifferently and lowered the faintly red muzzle of the Teigu [Romantic Fort·Pumpkin] in his hand.
Plop!
The dark underground river stirred up huge waves, and the heavy body of the "moss giant" quickly sank to the bottom of the river.
The green wind howled, and the figure of "Sword Queen-Ais" fell lightly beside Luo Jie, looking coldly at the tumbling underground river.
"Haifeng-Liu" also walked to Luo Jie's side and apologized in a low voice: "Your Highness Nightmare, I'm sorry, I was escaped by that monster."
Luo Jie waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling "Liu" not to take it to heart, and said: "The moss skin of the 'Moss Giant' itself has an anti-magic effect, and it will also neutralize most of the magic power through self-destruction... and The strength of this monster is far beyond expectation. Even with my special skills, I can't kill it with one shot. I'm afraid it has reached level 5, so it's normal for it to escape. "
The expedition team is busy at the moment, and several therapists are taking the time to treat those who were injured in the battle just now.
Seeing Luo Jie and "Swordswoman Ais" approaching, "Brave Finn" stood up and came forward, smiling bitterly: "I didn't expect that there would be intelligent enhanced species. It seems that we need to hurry up and send someone to report to the guild in time. A special expedition team has been dispatched.”
"Mr. Finn, what are the team's casualties? Do you need help?"
Luo Jie specially brought along "Half Wind-Lyu". This beautiful elf girl is also very good at healing magic.
"Thank you, there are not many injured people, and our therapists are still enough." "Finn" sighed at this, and said with a sad face: "Only one person died, "Dock" from the supply team... He has been a member of the family for more than ten years. He originally agreed that after the expedition, he would return to his hometown to get married with his lover in the family. "
"Condolences."
Luo Jie didn't know what to say. Sure enough, "go back to your hometown to get married after the war" was a sure-fire flag.
The expedition will continue, so it is naturally inconvenient to bring the remains of those who died in the war.
According to the custom of adventurers, one can only find a suitable location nearby for burial, and then dig out the body and bring it back to the ground when the expedition returns.
Just as everyone was preparing to hold a simple funeral for the dead "Dock", the "Thousand Fairies - Lefiya" and others who were helping to fetch water from the river suddenly let out a series of screams.
In the splash of water, the enhanced "Moss Giant" appeared again!
This cunning guy actually killed a carbine!
No one expected that this seriously injured monster would dare to go and come back again, and it was too late to rescue him.
The "moss giant" jumped out from the water with its arms spread out, and dense bulges appeared one after another on its ragged and mottled body.
"What kind of attack is that? Is it a unique skill of the enhanced species?"
Bang——!
Amidst the violent jets of gas, countless seeds the size of beans burst out from the surface of the "moss giant" and shot out in all directions like fine raindrops.
At this moment, a figure wrapped in strong wind knocked down "Lefiya, the Fairy of a Thousand", and the whizzing seeds made the armor jingle.
"Miss Ace!"
Luo Jie also rushed to the river at this moment, put his finger into the water and activated the Imperial Equipment [Water Dragon Pony Black Malin].
The undercurrent controlled by magic power surged through the water and seemed to have swept up some heavy guy, but it quickly escaped the scope of its capabilities.
lv.4 is indeed too low.
This moss giant is not my original work, but the mini-boss encountered by the protagonist Bell when he led an expedition in the twelfth volume of the main story. Of course, I enhanced it a bit. ...It is said that the fourth season of "The Misfortune" is about to be released, and we will probably see this guy, and there will also be a heretic mermaid girl.
