The structure of the magic ship is completely different from Chen Zhou's imagination. This expensive magic vehicle that can fly in the vacuum of the astral sea is not completely closed like the earth's spacecraft. The shape is really close to the ship. At most, it can be customized based on demand Different modifications and processing.
Races that cannot live in a vacuum will not suffocate and will die due to the difference in internal and external pressure.
With the help of the magic effect, a huge air bubble will be formed with the ship as the center, flying among the stars with the magic ship and maintaining pressure.
Coupled with the subjective gravity formed according to the passengers' own wishes, the life of drifting in the Astral Sea on a magic ship is almost the same as that on the Prime Material Plane.
But the red-skinned humanoid toad that was bigger than a bear and rushed toward them after landing still made him feel the difference between the astral world and the main material plane. It seemed that it would be difficult to see humans in the outer world.
The eternally chaotic slaadi possesses resistance to acid, cold, fire, electricity, and sound waves, resistance to magic and high-speed regeneration, the ability to see as normal in the dark, and the ability to telepathically communicate with creatures within a certain range. .
The red slaads that flocked to them can possess the strength of level 3 warriors when they reach adulthood, but to this race, they are still just mass-produced soldiers...
"Watch their claws!"
Fatima reminded her as soon as she landed, although she didn't think the claws of the ordinary Slaad Red Toad could break through the fur of a lycanthrope.
Without being able to enter other people's bodies, slaad eggs will not cause any harm to other creatures.
This tiger man who calls himself Demon Warrior Chen does not carry weapons or armor, and he is obviously not a monk. A person with such self-confidence is naturally not an easy person.
Of course, astral adventurers who don't have two brushes may be preyed on by the space fish in the astral sea when they first go out.
As she spoke, Fatima scattered a large number of plant seeds, and then waved the wooden stick in her hand.
Those spilled seeds quickly grew into thorns covered with spikes, binding the Slaadi Red Toads in one direction into pieces.
The thorns that turned bright red in the blink of an eye did not completely block the footsteps of all slaads. For these huge aberrations, these thorns could only delay their steps at best.
What followed was Kragwa's superpower. As the bright green light emerged, sky-blue flames suddenly spread along the thorns, continuing to roast the red slaad.
These cold, low-temperature flames do not burn the thorns or slaad, but simply burn their spirits, causing constant burning damage to their physique and perception.
Less than a moment after landing, the two adventurers from another world had already restrained and eliminated the Slaad Red Toad on one side.
This scene of dealing with level 3 professionals as easily as breathing made Chen Zhou wonder if these two people were being a bit too modest in claiming that they could not defeat a ship of slaadi?
"Slaadi are aberrations that can continuously evolve through parasitism → reincarnation. They will advance every time they change color, and they will retain all the power of the previous stage."
Each reincarnation only takes three months. This speed of mass production of high-level military units is top-notch even in the outer world. Therefore, if left unchecked, it will soon lead to catastrophe.
The slaad has been lurking in this giant shrike destroyer for an unknown amount of time, so caution is the most important thing.
While listening to Shushu's introduction to the slaadi, Chen Zhou had no time to spare. While using "Water Making Technique (Ice)" to condense a large number of ice-made weapons, he used "Telekinesis" to suddenly launch them as ammunition.
In an instant, the eight slaadi red toads on his side became a sieve. It seemed that magic resistance and cold resistance were inevitable from pure physical damage.
"What kind of magic warrior are you?"
Kragwa complained uncontrollably that he had never seen such an arcane successor who relied solely on spellcasting to defeat enemies.
"It's too troublesome to cut just one."
Just looking at the Slaa Red Toad's juices splashing after being beaten into a sieve, and his body seemed to be twitching continuously, Chen Zhou wanted to simply cast a spell to raze the place to the ground.
"I'm hungry, but toads don't seem as tasty as frogs?" 』
After dealing with the slaad that was originally near where they landed, the three of them looked around, trying to determine where they were.
At the moment, they are at the edge of the bridge, while their employer is hiding in the cold chain transport cabinet of the warehouse. They need to go from the bridge to the cargo hold on the bottom floor to rescue the employer who has authority.
Thinking of the risks he might encounter in the process, Kagwa felt a little headache: "This ship is too big, what kind of business do they do?"
"The transport of metamagic storms is a special phenomenon that allows one to gain metamagic for a sustained period of time just by contact. The fleet used fractals to store the storm."
Fractal, an unusual two-dimensional construct, can trap things into a two-dimensional world.
Chen Zhou is a little interested in this creature. Isn't this the magic version of two-way foil?
The battle ended. The three people who confirmed each other's general strength ignored the corpse of the Slaad Red Toad on the ground that still refused to stop, and immediately jumped to the deck of the Henan Dou amid the sirens.
During the process, Chen Zhou cast the poet's third-level "Invisibility Sphere" on himself, and he and the rest of the people within three meters around him became invisible.
Their mission on this trip was to rescue rather than conquer, and their top priority was to go to the cargo cold storage as quickly as possible to confirm the safety of their employer.
However, not long after, the three of them entered the cabin and saw a dense crowd of slaads that made people fear that they were going to be sick.
Not only that, they also hold a large number of standard firearms in their hands.
The "Invisibility Sphere" that makes invisible objects invisible cannot work in such a dense environment. The moment they see other people become invisible, they will be covered by enemy fire.
In desperation, the three of them had to leave the cabin temporarily and came to a secluded corner of the ship to discuss countermeasures.
During this period, groups of slaad were constantly patrolling the magic ship, trying to catch the intruders who broke into the bridge and then disappeared invisible, but for a while they were still safe.
"Have you noticed that the slaadi on this ship are different from ordinary species?"
Kragwa, who has been hunting slaadi all year round, leaned against the wall and explained: "They are so smart. They can form teams of 10 red toads, 3 blue toads and 2 green toads to patrol specific routes, and they have even learned to use tools."
The biggest difference between slaadi and their nera toads is that the low-level (relatively) former are mentally retarded and full of confusion and only know how to reproduce. They are super powerful and don't know how to use tools or weapons at all.
Although the Green Slaadi, which can evolve after parasitizing a level 3 spellcaster, possesses an astonishingly high level of intelligence (11), it is still not enough to command such a large number of individuals.
"There is a Death Slaad among them. Maybe he is coordinating these hundreds of subordinates." Fatima repeated the information given by the client. Usually, the highest-level Slaad has a plan. Each one is a huge disaster.
"..."
But Kagwa's intuition told him that something was still not quite right.
