Witch Special

Chapter 331: Field Investigation of Local Customs and Culture in the Departure Courtyard 2

After all, it is right next to the lake, which is full of barnacles, and the monsters in the Scarlet Devil Mansion are all related to aquatic animals.

These are some fish people with big brains and big hearts.

Their bodies are covered with hard scales, their hands and feet have translucent, yellowish webbed feet, and they use weapons such as spears and machetes.

If you only look at their backs, these fishmen actually look normal. But when they turn around, the situation is completely different. Anyway, when Lin Zhenxi first saw this creature, she was really scared.

The heads of these murlocs bloom like flowers, connecting to the skull below, petals opening outwards to reveal a large eyeball attached to the spine. This extended spine is very flexible, giving the eye a very wide field of vision, allowing it to quickly search for enemies.

Besides the abnormality of their heads, the chests of these fishmen also had a very disgusting feature. Their ribs were movable, and they could open to a wide angle to the sides, revealing a large mouth in the middle of their bodies, like a lamprey, with rings of sharp teeth.

I think the way these creatures eat is to hold the food, and then bite and suck it frantically with the big mouth hidden in the chest cavity.

If this thing had suddenly appeared in the darkness, it would have been a scene straight out of a horror movie, enough to scare anyone to death. However, Lin Zhenxi was surrounded by little suns burning with light, illuminating everything she went to. As a result, the monsters were blinded because their exposed eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden bright light.

It's so funny. It turns out that the dazzling sunlight is the nemesis of all evil. Under the light, all evil will be exposed.

In the light, Lin Zhenxi also observed the bewildered behavior of these open-minded fishmen. They chased the water slimes, who were focused on clearing barnacles, and slashed frantically with their spears and machetes. However, these purely physical attacks were ignored by the water slimes. After all, Lin Zhenxi's instructions to these slimes were to clear barnacles, not to retaliate if attacked.

Then a funny scene appeared. This group of fishmen chased the flowing slime on the wall and made clanging sounds all the way, but the slime continued to do what it was supposed to do, and the speed of clearing the eye barnacles was not affected at all, while those fishmen could only be furious and helpless, and it was useless.

The magic core of the flowing slime flows in its body, and its own strength is not low. It also has the flowing water as a buffer. The random attacks of those fishmen trying to destroy the magic core of the flowing slime are simply wishful thinking. Although it is not to the extent of being absolutely impossible, the probability is almost as small as winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.

Anyway, up to this point, Lin Zhenxi hadn't seen any water slimes being killed by the open-chested murlocs. Whenever he encountered a murloc, he'd inevitably see it chasing and hacking at the slimes, so focused that if it weren't for the lights from the puppet soldiers around Lin Zhenxi, they probably wouldn't have even sensed anyone coming.

Because there is no corner killing, the scary level of these fishmen instantly dropped many levels, and even became a little stupid. Anyway, it didn't take any effort for Lin Zhenxi to kill them.

Oh, it wasn’t a big deal, because it wasn’t her turn to do it herself. The puppet army around her rushed forward and took care of those fishmen.

After all, the Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins were covered in barnacles. Even if the water slime dug out the fleshy balls inside the barnacles, the sharp shells would still remain in place. Lin Zhenxi's shoes couldn't withstand the cutting edges of the shells, so she could only use flying, a skill she was not very familiar with, to move around in the Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins.

The "flying" feature in the Garden of the Dead is quite interesting; it doesn't even require magic, just believing you can fly will allow you to actually fly. This is similar to the magical prayer feature, highlighting the idealistic wish fulfillment of one's wishes.

In the Garden of Death, flying is as common as walking, eating, and sleeping, and is even taken for granted.

However, because this ability wasn't magically related, Hayashi Maki couldn't quite control this walking-like posture. So far, the only way she knew to increase her flight speed was to lean forward, like Superman. But flying indoors with her head tilted forward wasn't something Hayashi Maki was quite adept at, so she currently floated in mid-air, moving at a speed roughly the same as walking—perhaps even slower.

Otherwise, why does Lin Zhenxi prefer to use the magic broom even though he has mastered flying? At least the speed of that broom is based on the amount of magic power infused. As long as it does not exceed the upper limit of the built-in magic circuit, the speed will be determined by the amount of magic power provided, instead of just waiting anxiously like with "flying".

Compared to Lin Zhenxi's current clumsiness, the puppet soldiers have fewer restrictions. The sharp barnacles on the floor cannot break their defense at all. On the contrary, the flames on their bodies, as long as they come into close contact with the barnacle shells on the ground, those shells will immediately be burned very crispy, and then turned into powder with one kick, which is similar to shell powder.

So when they encountered the murlocs, the puppet soldiers rushed forward directly, and then with a staggered movement, they killed the murlocs who were blinded by the strong light.

Those fishmen could hardly even last a single round in front of the puppet soldiers, and could be said to have no power to fight back at all.

This gave Lin Zhenxi a feeling, which he didn't know if it was an illusion, that these fishmen were actually quite weak.

Because Lin Zhenxi had released so many water slimes into the Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins, she had essentially cleared out all the eye barnacles along the way, and even encountered very few murlocs. She continued to advance until she reached the main hall of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Logically, this should be the core area of ​​the Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins, and if she could capture it, she would receive the Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins rewards.

Although Lin Zhenxi didn't really need the buffs here right now, the buffs provided by the enhanced Sunflower Field and Old Hell were so strong that Lin Zhenxi now had a very relaxed attitude towards the various ruins buffs. Anyway, the current ones were strong enough, and adding a few more buffs wouldn't change anything, so he just took it as it came.

Lin Maki had rarely been to the main hall of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. To be more precise, she had rarely even visited the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Because she was too weak, Patchouli had warned her that even in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, not everyone could reason with her. If she left the Bavaru Library and Patchouli's protection, her life would be in danger, even in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Lin Zhenxi still cherishes her life very much. Since Patchouli teacher said so, then she really will be honest and learn from Patchouli teacher, becoming a home girl who never leaves the house. After all, she is here to study, not to travel. She can't learn all the knowledge in the Bavaru Library in her lifetime. She can stay there forever.

However, she had once encountered a case where the Scarlet Devil Mansion's master, out of boredom, had initiated a mutation, and was subsequently severely punished by the administrators of the Courtyard of the Dead. As an apology for initiating the mutation, the small-time vampire master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion held a banquet and invited all the sages of the Courtyard of the Dead to attend.

Patchouli, a resident of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, would naturally attend such an event, and Lin Maki, taking advantage of Patchouli's presence, followed suit. That was her only time to date setting foot in the Scarlet Devil Mansion's magnificent, red-carpeted main hall. That day, she thoroughly experienced the banquet culture of the Garden of the Dead and met many of its prominent figures.

Although she only recognized a familiar face, she didn't even know the person's name. Because Teacher Patchouli would become listless and drowsy whenever she left her library, Lin Zhenxi didn't even have the chance to ask her teacher about the identities of those people.

So what left the deepest impression on Lin Zhenxi at that banquet was actually the main hall of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and the main hall of the ruins of the Scarlet Devil Mansion now just happened to be comparable to the magnificent main hall in her memory.

At least the layout of the house is similar.

However, in the real world, the main hall of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is primarily white. A red carpet stretches from the entrance all the way to the double staircase at the end. A massive chandelier hangs from the ceiling, adorned with glittering glass beads that radiate a dreamy light. Furthermore, the walls of the main hall are covered in numerous large paintings, chronicling the history of the Scarlet family and further enriching the historical heritage of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

In the celebration world, all this beauty was destroyed by dense barnacles. Moreover, the barnacles here were not cleared by the water slimes.

It wasn't that the slimes didn't come, but rather that they alerted the ruins boss in the main hall, who then conveniently killed them. Although the water slimes were immune to physical attacks, their resistance to magic wasn't very good, especially when the magic was enhanced by the Deep Chaos. This time, the water slimes were the only ones left vulnerable.

However, perhaps because he had already killed so many eye barnacles, when facing those dead fish eyes staring at him this time, Lin Zhenxi was surprised to find that he no longer felt fear.

It seems like, no big deal?

No longer paying special attention to those disgusting barnacles, Lin Zhenxi focused his attention on the huge creature that was squatting in the center of the main hall, its chin bulging, and was looking down at itself.

This should be a super big toad, right?

But now, eyes have grown in all the bumps on its body, and the place where eyes should be has become a mouth, which keeps moving in and out of its tongue, which looks more like a snake's tongue than a toad's.

In short, the most prominent one is disgusting. Lin Zhenxi found that the style of painting in the deep and chaotic world seemed to be almost the same, and none of them were worth looking at.

A sea of ​​eyes, a mouth in the wrong place, and a body covered in dirty water—what else is missing? Oh, and tentacles? They're just that little thing, so why not hide it and show it all?
