Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi was just complaining in her heart when a huge crack appeared between the two bulging cheeks of the giant toad covered with eyeballs. Then, a person... no, half a person's body popped out from its huge mouth.

The humanoid's body was encased in a layer of membrane, a highly elastic structure that allowed it to twist and struggle freely. Of course, escaping was practically impossible, as the lower half of the humanoid was deeply encased in the long, squirming tentacles, making it impossible to break free.

So Lin Zhenxi could only see the human face behind the membrane twisting in different ways and wailing silently, but it was of no use at all.

However, Lin Zhenxi was unfazed by this, and even felt a little happy that she had guessed the correct answer in advance. "Look, I said there were tentacles, and here they are!"

But for the sake of his own safety, Lin Zhenxi stepped back and hid in the puppet army.

Usually, enemies of this size and size would spit something out. Considering their power, it was likely something like sewage or poisonous insects, which were definitely not clean. Lin Zhenxi didn't want to have any close contact with those things.

Seeing those glittering figures approaching, the giant toad roared in anger, along with the figure within its membrane. As the two mouths, one large and one small, roared, the air seemed to solidify, transforming into a thick column of air that blasted towards the puppet army directly in front of it.

Wow, it’s an air cannon, so environmentally friendly.

The puppet army linked the power of the sun, using the protective golden flames to form a shield, blocking the air cannon head-on. Then, in response to the air cannon, the puppet army launched a sunlight gun.

Lin Zhenxi thought that after the Sunlight Gun upgraded to Sunlight Laser, the puppet army's ability to throw spears would be gone, but it seems that it was still retained.

The Sun Lance had an advantage over the Sun Laser in that it was a curved beam, so it wouldn't be blocked by the person in front. They were currently inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins, and the terrain was narrow. The Sun Laser could only hit the giant toad in the front row, but the Sun Lance didn't have that limitation.

After all, the ruins here don't even have roofs...

The big toad seemed to know that it couldn't take the puppet army's sunlight gun head-on, so when the sunlight gun just flew over, it jumped directly and its entire body was immersed in the darkness.

Seeing this, Lin Zhenxi raised her wand and shone it into the sky, unleashing a powerful flash of light. The rising ball of light provided Lin Zhenxi with ample vision, allowing her to clearly see what the giant toad was up to.

The big toad stretched out several black tentacles with hands at the end from its body. With the help of these slender tentacles, the big toad actually hung itself in mid-air.

Although the tentacles were all stretched tightly, it was obvious that it was quite difficult to lift such a huge toad with these tentacles. However, they finally withstood the pressure and forcibly hung the toad in mid-air.

Seeing that his strategy of escaping into darkness had failed, the big toad immediately spewed out a large amount of dark purple poisonous smoke from the two mouths on his head, as if he had two smoke bombs tied to his head, using the poisonous smoke to hide his body.

Why is this giant toad always trying to hide itself? With its size, could it be an assassin?

Lin Zhenxi was not interested in watching the enemy demonstrate his moves to see if they were cool or not. Although the big toad was now hiding itself with smoke, its position should not have changed. Moreover, it was hanging on the wall in such a conspicuous position. If he didn't hit it now, wouldn't it be a waste of the efforts of those tentacles?

So Lin Zhenxi pointed her hand forward, and the puppet soldiers around her raised their hands in unison, and the fists and swords in their hands burst out with dazzling light.

Sunlight laser, volley!

Hundreds of beams of light filled with the power of the sun poured into the black fog together, immediately forming a dazzling ball of light in the black fog, and burst out with beams of light that pierced the black fog, followed by a huge explosion.

But Lin Zhenxi frowned. The shape of the light ball produced just before the explosion was too complete. It didn't seem like it was a reaction to hitting something. Moreover, she seemed to feel that the surrounding environment seemed to have become darker than before.

The humidity in the air was also increasing, and a faint fishy smell began to spread in the environment.

This should be the big toad releasing some kind of toxin into the air, but because of the filtering of the constant ecosystem, Lin Zhenxi is basically immune to this kind of air toxin, and the power of the sun burning on the bodies of the puppet soldiers is the biggest nemesis of all kinds of evil forces. Those insidious poisonous fogs cannot get close to them at all and will be directly burned by the layer of flames covering the surface of their skin.

The result was that the most dangerous ability of the big toad was directly destroyed, and the disappearance of the flowing slimes was probably the only result of the air toxins.

Lin Zhenxi's judgment was correct. Although the giant toad had disappeared, not only did the light ball around Lin Zhenxi not emit any warning that she had occupied the ruins of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but the humidity in the air also began to increase. Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire ruins became wet and sticky.

This place looks pretty bad now.

Before Lin Zhenxi could make the next instruction, a slender tentacle suddenly emerged from the wall, opened its top palm and grabbed the nearest puppet soldier.

Then he was chopped to pieces by the puppet soldier with a backhanded sword...

Uh, the Dream Temple's "Sacred Cloak" buff reduces the chance of a successful sneak attack. Clearly, the puppet soldier had completely seen through the tentacle's attack intent.

However, the appearance of this tentacle was only the beginning of the big toad's counterattack. Next, a large number of tentacles emerged from the walls, the ground, and various cracks and corners, and launched an attack on Lin Zhenxi's puppet army.

Because Lin Zhenxi had retreated into the puppet army and was protected by layers of protection, she did not give those who were touched a chance to do so.

To be frank, the most vulnerable link on Lin Zhenxi's side right now is herself. Although the puppet soldiers may not be as strong as Lin Zhenxi individually, they are a whole, sharing energy and supporting each other. Lin Zhenxi is isolated from this system. If she is attacked by the enemy, she can only bear it alone.

Fortunately, although these tentacles attacked at very tricky angles, they were unable to break through the defense of the puppet army. Basically, they would be knocked down as soon as they appeared, and there was no chance at all.

On the contrary, as the tentacles disappeared, the poisonous fog in the environment also began to fade. Although it was unknown how this giant toad had hidden its huge body, it was probably about to be able to hide it now.

The flash grenade Lin Zhenxi had launched into the air once again shone brightly onto the earth. Lin Zhenxi spotted a large dark shadow on the ground. Looking up, she saw the giant toad, inflating itself into a ball by inhaling air, floating in midair. Many translucent ribbons dangled from its buttocks, connecting to the ground. This not only prevented it from drifting away, but also provided the source of its tentacles, which kept popping out no matter how hard it was struck.

This damn thing, doesn't it have the genes of a toad, but also of a pufferfish?

Lin Zhenxi made a gesture, and the sunlight laser fired again. This time, the big toad had no way to dodge and was directly hit by an air explosion, leaving no trace of its body in the explosion.

This time, the light ball next to Lin Zhenxi finally popped up a prompt, saying that Lin Zhenxi had occupied the ruins of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and obtained the enhanced state "Lord of Scarlet".

Looks like it's over?

It seems not yet. Lin Zhenxi still remembers the giant tentacle in the Mist Lake. That should also be a very tricky enemy, and it is right at the door.

The only thing we can hope for now is that the flowing slimes can be more powerful. After all, Lin Zhenxi and the puppet army have no way to go into the water.

Hmm... puppet soldiers shouldn't go underwater, right? Lin Zhenxi suddenly realized she was being too pragmatic. Who said that beautiful puppet girls in fluttery little skirts with flaming bodies couldn't go underwater? Since they could fly and didn't need to breathe, maybe fighting underwater wouldn't be a problem for them.

Forget it. The water in the Festival World is obviously problematic, and the dagger in the Hakurei Shrine proves to Hayashi Maki that her puppet soldiers are likely to be contaminated. If Hayashi Maki sends the puppets underwater and they are controlled by the underwater enemy, it will definitely be a big trouble for Hayashi Maki.

Then go and occupy the Bavaru Library, and then shoot down the big eyeball in the sky to end the difficulty of waiting for the night.

Because Lin Zhenxi had started the previous difficulty levels at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, she was already familiar with the location of the ruins of the Bavaru Library. Even though the ruins became more dilapidated with each difficulty level, and even more numerous eye barnacles grew on the Night Difficulty, the general location remained unchanged.

Lin Zhenxi now needs to find the corridor outside the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and then find the spiral staircase leading to the underground.

And this step seemed to have been taken care of by the flowing slime she had sent out to clean the barnacles from her eyes.

Because when Lin Zhenxi found the door leading to the underground in the corridor, he discovered that the door was open, and only half of the eye barnacles in the corridor had been cleared. On the other side of the door, the barnacles were still staring at the people in the corridor with their single dead fish eyes.

I gave you face! Lin Zhenxi raised his wand and used his magic power to summon several water slimes, letting them remove all the barnacles that had not been cleared in this corridor.

Now when Lin Zhenxi sees these eye barnacles, she is not afraid, but feels that they are as annoying as the garbage scattered next to the trash can.

This can probably be considered a kind of growth.
