"It should be a spell-like ability." Listening to Andrina's introduction, Thorne glanced at the plantation guard and said, "Then can you see what spells they have mastered?"

For a spellcaster, the most taboo is that the enemy knows all the spells he has mastered, because it will be easy for the opponent to find his weakest point and deal a fatal blow.

In the same way, if you can know what kind of spells these plant guards master, it will be much easier to deal with, and it will not catch him by surprise during the battle.

Moreover, the ranger itself mainly focuses on reconnaissance, tracking and hunting. This careful occupation characteristic makes Thorne develop the habit of fully understanding the specific information of the enemy before the battle.

Unfortunately, although they all have auxiliary systems, they don't have the same magical skills as reconnaissance. If you lose the skills, you can get a general understanding of the enemy's specific information.

Facing the plant garden guards blocking the way, Thorne knew nothing about their special abilities except for their size. If he was alone, he would have to bite the bullet and try it out.

Fortunately, there is also a sorceress who seems to be knowledgeable by her side. Thorne believes that she has mastered the mysterious knowledge, which is already ahead of most spellcasters of the same rank. She must know a little about these constructive creatures.

"I can't see it." Andrina's answer without hesitation made Thorne a little disappointed, so she thought about it and added:

"However, what I can confirm is that their spells are mainly natural spells.

This is so determined mainly because these Constructed Guards are made from shredded bush leaves, and when they are shaped by gardeners proficient in gardening and carving skills, they need to undergo a ritual of activation.

The entire process of this activation ritual must be kept under the sun, rain and soil throughout the day.

Therefore, these plant guard-type construct guards have the highest bonuses for natural spells. As long as the wizards who make them are not stupid, they will not go too far to fill other spells that have nothing to do with them and are very exclusive.

Moreover, the low-level natural spells they master are almost all auxiliary, and the real offensive spells should not be available.

After all, the purpose of these plant garden guards is to protect the vegetation from damage. Not to mention the cost of attacking spells, just the destructive power of the spells violates the original intention of creating them to protect this place. "

Thorne nodded secretly after listening, he already understood the meaning of the other party's explanation, and also had a general understanding of the structure of this hall.

From a magic crystal that simulates sunlight shining in the center of the ceiling of this space, it can be found that the energy of this room is solar energy.

After all, the basketball-sized magic crystal, despite being abandoned and unattended for nearly a hundred years, can still tirelessly emit light and heat, providing a favorable growth environment for plants in the space. No matter what the principle is, it must be an infinite cycle of energy correct.

Then Thorne took out the compound longbow and an arrow behind him, looked in the direction of the plant garden guard and said:

"Is there any way to stop their attack program, after all, they belong to construct creatures, and it's a pity to destroy them."

"No, the easiest way to make them stop the attack order is to destroy the magic crystal in the center of the ceiling, but compared to the three plant garden guards, I think the magic crystal that can simulate sunlight is the best It is the most valuable in the whole botanical garden, and it is the core of this space.”

Andrina looked up at the magic crystal that exuded bright sunshine, and shook her head slightly:

"Actually, the two of us were discovered when we stepped into this area, but because of the characteristics of these plantation guards, when they sensed the enemy's invasion, they would not immediately attack the enemy like the clay golem. , instead using the camouflage of the bushes to choose to stay still until an intruder is within their attack range, before launching a surprise attack.

Fortunately, you are more vigilant. If it weren't for the reminder just now, I might not have thought of the characteristics of these constructs, and the two of us would be the unlucky ones. "

"Then don't do it first. The constructed guards made of bushes must be afraid of flame attacks. Your spells are too powerful. I'm afraid that it will be troublesome if you accidentally demolish this room."

Thorne was about to attack, and suddenly noticed that the sorceress beside him also took out his staff, ready to cast spells, so he opened his mouth to stop it.

"Don't worry, I will control it carefully, you have to believe in my ability." Anderina said with a smile.

"Well, to be honest, I was actually afraid that you would destroy the herbs you planted. I just looked carefully and found that most of the plants here are the main ingredients for making healing potions and stamina potions.

Although there are no outstanding pharmacists among the players in the town of Falls, the priests of Merikai Temple are still happy to buy these things. ' Thorne said truthfully.

After listening to Thorne's explanation, Andrina glanced at him, didn't say anything, but nodded to him with a smile, as to whether she agreed with his suggestion, it was unknown.

Thorne watched in the distance a giant constructed elephant, trimmed from dark green bushes, twice the size of an ordinary elephant.

From the size of the three plant garden guards and their standing positions, he judged that this giant elephant is the strongest.

So he put the arrow on the bowstring without hesitation, and with a thought, Mo Feng Sect's flame power surged in his body instantly.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Enhanced Skill): Sword of Red Lotus!”

Thorne's arrows on the bowstring were completely drawn by him, and a flaming flame suddenly burned on the metal arrowheads, and the beating flames were like firemen dancing wildly.

"call out!"

Accompanied by the slight echo of the bowstring, the armor-piercing arrows, driven by the blazing high temperature, whizzed away at an extremely fast speed.

"Om!"

The arrows wrapped in flames precisely sank into the huge head of the giant elephant guard.

However, there was no puffing sound of the sharp blade penetrating into the flesh as imagined, instead it was the sound of the arrow trembling slightly.

But for Thorne, his desired effect has been achieved, because the flames wrapped around the arrows have begun to spread slowly around the giant elephant guard.

If this giant elephant guard made of shrubs cannot effectively extinguish the flames on his body, then its huge body will eventually turn into a pile of ashes under the burning of the flames over time.

At the same time, Andrina's spell did not completely follow Thorne's suggestion. When the arrow hit the giant elephant guard, her spell was ready.

——“Second-Level Spell: Yoof Ma’s Acid Arrow!”

With the staff in Andrina's hand pointing to the giant elephant guard who was surrounded by thick smoke.

A dark green arrow with a pungent strong acid smell gathered and formed, hitting the body of the giant elephant guard steadily, and suddenly there was a sizzling sound after being corroded by strong acid.

Just after the attack of the two succeeded, the three plant garden guards finally stopped keeping their original motion and began to take action against the intruders.

First, a planting garden guard resembling a fierce tiger took the lead, only to see two dark red rays of light suddenly flashing in its pupils, which were dazzling to the eyes under the illumination of the magic crystal.

Then he opened his mouth again, revealing a mouth of fangs made up of sharp branches, raised his head high, and let out a silent roar.

- "Spell-Like Ability: Cat's Grace!"

Suddenly, the tiger guard's eyes were bright red, and a pale green light quickly enveloped its body, and its vigorous body composed of shrubs and leaves suddenly became alive.

But what puzzled Thorne was that the tiger did not choose to attack the two, but turned into a green shadow and disappeared into the grass.

- "Spell-like ability: magic tooth!"

Followed by a plantation guard trimmed to the shape of a wild boar.

As the red light of the wild boar guard's pupils gradually brightened, its two fangs, which looked like rotten and dead wood, were instantly enveloped by the magical light.

The two fangs of the wild boar guard were revitalized with the strengthening of the spell, and became extremely sharp at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they flashed a slight cold light.

Then the calf-sized boar guard raised two gleaming fangs, and his scarlet eyes locked Thorne and charged at him.

The light body composed of bushes galloped on the grass, not as dull as imagined, but instead it was a rustling sound.

As for the last giant elephant guard that Thorne considered the most threatening, he did not choose to dash or disappear, but stood still, letting the huge body burn with flames.

This kind of stillness did not last long. In the blink of an eye, a dazzling red light suddenly burst into the eyes of the giant elephant guard. The moment the huge body raised its head, a terrifying magic light flashed around it.

- "Spell-like ability: Pray for rain!"

On the fourth floor of the tower, in the space shrouded in dense vegetation, a basketball-sized magic crystal ball inlaid in the center of the ceiling was originally using the energy of sunlight to continuously convert bright sunlight.

Suddenly, a terrifying magic light erupted from the giant elephant guard, which was trimmed from bushes, and the bright magic crystal ball flickered like a warning light, which directly caused the light in the space to become flickering.

This situation only lasted for a moment, and the magic crystal ball gathered gloomy dark clouds, which instantly shrouded the entire hall, and the bright space became darker and darker.

A dull thunder sounded.

"Tick!"

A drop of rain fell on the green branches and leaves, making a faint and crisp sound, and then the torrential rain began to fall, filling the entire space at an extremely fast speed.

"sand!"

At the same time, the wild boar guard, the dark green body the size of a calf, took advantage of the rain to cover and the vegetation to cover up, and attacked the wild boar guard.

At this moment, Thorne was covered by Andrina's protective field at the moment when the roof was covered with dark clouds. The downpour had no effect on the two of them except to extinguish the flame of the giant elephant guard.

Notice the wild boar guards who are charging fiercely along the water spray.

Thorne's footsteps did not move at all, and the composite longbow in his hand had long since been retracted after he shot the arrow, replacing the long sword in his hand.

Just as the two sharp fangs of the wild boar guard were about to approach Thorne's body, Andrina's prepared spell was cast immediately.

——“Second-Level Spell: Wings of Sanctuary!”

Two broken translucent dragon wings unfolded from behind Andrina, and when the wild boar guard was approaching, they completely wrapped the two at a very fast speed.

The two sharp fangs of the wild boar guard collided with the translucent dragon wings, splashing up and down, but never made an inch.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Sword of Red Lotus!”

Thorne naturally would not miss the opportunity to counterattack. He saw that the Demon Slayer Sword in his hand was instantly entangled by the raging flames, and the rain formed by these spells could not completely extinguish it.

"boom!"

The razor-sharp Demon Slayer Sword can pose a deadly threat even in the face of metal armor. Naturally, no miracle can happen in front of the Demon Slayer Sword, which is guarded by a constructive creature made of dead wood and broken leaves.

The flaming demon-slaying long sword was slashed by Thorne's full force, rain splashed everywhere, and bursts of smoke rose.

The head of the wild boar guard was easily divided into two like tofu, and even the elemental core inside was smashed by him.

When the wild boar guard fell, there was still no movement in the distance. The giant elephant guard who guided the rain prayer stopped the rain, and at the same time, a flash of aura flashed around him.

- "Spell-like ability: Cloud and Mist!"

The magic crystal ball shrouded in dark clouds suddenly erupted with clouds and mists. In just a moment, the thick fog and the rain that just fell covered the entire space with a white gauze. The two seemed to fall into a sea of ​​smoke. middle.

"Be careful, don't walk around at will, these plant guards have the special ability of "vibration perception", as long as you move your steps, they can detect your position through the vibration of the earth, the best way now is to stay still , wait for them to attack as before, and then fight back. "

Andrina looked at Thorne, who had become blurred in front of her, and reminded him softly.

"That's too passive, and it's a waste of time. Be careful yourself, I'll find the positions of the remaining two."

Thorne didn't follow Andrina's suggestion. Through the wild boar guard he just killed, he had already judged the approximate strength of these constructs, and for him, it was not that kind of troublesome existence.

In the thick fog, Thorne's figure disappeared in Andrina's slightly helpless eyes.

Thorne was quite familiar with the two spells just cast by the Giant Elephant Guard. They were the first-level spell "Pray for Rain" and the second-level spell "Cloud and Mist" by the wizards.

In addition to the function of the former, in addition to wetting the enemy's clothes, blocking the ability to move and sight, it also has the ability to extinguish ordinary flames.

The latter just produces a simple dense fog to block the line of sight, but if these two spells are used together, the effect is not as simple as one plus one.

Just like Thorne at this time, the thick fog combined with the torrential rain caused him to travel extremely fast and slow. In addition to guarding against the tiger guards hiding in the dark, he must always be alert to whether there are unknown dangers in the bushes under his feet.

- "Spell-like ability: entanglement!"

At this time, the plants under Thorne's feet were growing wildly, wrapping around him like crazy.

Facing the attack of this kind of spell, he is most familiar with it.

When he noticed the abnormality, the long sword in his hand crossed an arc, and all the moving vines were cut off.

"Sand! Sand! Sand!"

Suddenly, Thorne, who was walking steadily, noticed the sound of small footsteps, so he stood still, and a wooden holy emblem fell from his palm immediately.

"Whoosh!"

Just when a vigorous green shadow the size of a calf was about to pounce on Thorne, who was standing still, the surrounding plants grew crazy vines again.

However, in addition to the sharp spikes attached this time, the vines are more solid and tough under the immersion of the rain.

The two hind legs of the tiger guard were suddenly entangled by the vines, unable to make an inch.

These constructs, made of bushes and broken leaves, were not as powerful as the golems until Thorne's Demon Slayer slashed them in half, smashing the elemental core, the tiger guarding They were unable to break free from the entanglement of the vines.

At this time, in the space of the tower, the torrential rain has stopped. Because the tower is in a closed space, the thick fog has no meaning to dissipate.

Thorne, who was hidden in the thick fog, kept cutting off the vines that were trying to entangle him, walking all the way, and finally found the hidden position of the giant elephant guard.

When Thorne's eyes locked on the huge body of the giant elephant guard, the blood-red eyes of the giant elephant guard hidden in the thick fog also locked on Thorne.

As a construct controlled by the elemental core, they can only follow some simple instructions. In the face of intruders, if there is no master's control, the attacks of these constructs will be very rigid and not flexible at all. .

That's why Thorne dares to go deep alone.

When the giant elephant guard found Thorne, he immediately raised two tusks, swung the long trunk made of vines, trampled the small water pools condensed by the rain all the way, and rushed towards Thorne.

For the surging attack of the giant elephant guard, Thorne's expression hidden in the thick fog did not change.

With his flexible body, he turned slightly sideways and wiped the swirling broken leaves to avoid the rush of the giant elephant guard.

Looking at its bulky body, Thorne immediately waved his long sword to attack, a cold light flashed, and Thorne directly cut off a leg made of dead wood that the giant elephant guarded.

As a purple and excellent quality longsword, with +4 sharpness and +1 piercing armor, it is not as difficult as imagined to deal with these constructive creatures composed of bushes and broken leaves.

It can be seen from this that the strength of the former owner of this tower should not be very high.

The three-legged giant elephant guard staggered, and just after stabilizing his balance, the other hind leg was cut off by Thorne again.

Immediately, the plantation guard, who had only one attack on the invader's order at the core of the element, lay on the ground and began to struggle weakly. Only the scarlet eyes that locked Thorne seemed to be still telling the unfinished mission.
