Seeing that the necklace matched the statue, Geralt nodded as he had expected. "These tomb robbers must have found the treasure here. Lan, the lab you want should not have been discovered yet. This is good news."

After saying that, Geralt stepped forward and tried to take off the necklace. The moment he touched the necklace, the entire wall of the room suddenly permeated with purple light!

Geralt and Lann's witcher badges suddenly began to vibrate violently.

"wrong!"

These purple lights connected into one, surrounding the prayer room tightly.

Lan looked back and saw that the entrance they had come in through was also covered with a layer of light film, so there was no need to think about getting out.

In the entire room, the brightest lights came from the two stone leopards beside the female statue.

Bathed in an unknown purple light, the stone color on the surface of their statues quickly faded within two breaths, as if peeling off a layer of stone skin to reveal the real beasts underneath.

Two pairs of eyes that shone as brightly as Geralt's in the darkness suddenly opened, and the two stone leopards each let out a sharp roar and pounced towards the crowd.

Lann, who was always on guard, threw down a druid beside him to avoid the stone leopard's attack. The floor where they were standing was completely smashed by two feet in the next second.

This leopard not only has sharp claws, but also has great strength!

Lann shouted, "This unknown goddess doesn't seem to want you to take her necklace again, and I think the cause of death of these tomb robbers may not be uneven distribution of the spoils!"

The druid shouted, "These are not leopards, they are magical creatures summoned from other planes by the ancient elves using [Summoning Magic]!"

Sword also shouted: "Everyone come quickly to protect the Earl!!"

Several shield-wielding axemen ran towards Lann at the first moment, but were all blown away by the stone leopard's several changes of direction and forward pounces.

Fortunately, their armor was strong and their shields were thick, so no casualties occurred, but they were all badly beaten.

The stone leopard's head was as big as the shield, and it could bite off most of the iron sheet with just one mouth.

Lann stepped forward and forced the magic stone leopard away with a sword, then shouted to the druid, "How do we kill these magical creatures? Do we have to chop them all into pieces if they have no vital parts, or find the core inside their bodies and break it?"

The druid waved his hand to create a magic shield for himself and was about to answer, but the stone leopard suddenly smashed the shield and he rolled out a long distance.

Seeing this, Lann quickly called for two shield guards to come forward to protect him. The druid must not get into any danger.

After the druid was helped up by the shield guard, his temper seemed to flare up. He took out a small wooden stick and began to mutter to himself. In an instant, the small wooden stick began to grow branches and branches, and grew into a war stick as tall as him.

The druid rolled up his sleeves and was about to pounce on the stone leopard. He replied as he ran, "The characteristics of magical creatures are similar to their appearances, and they have the same weaknesses. The methods used to kill ordinary creatures are also effective against them."

"It's still a leopard, isn't it? At most it's a little bigger and a little stronger!"

"Different!" Geralt pulled out a bomb without a fuse from the strap of his alchemy backpack.

"They have weaknesses that leopards don't have!"

Geralt pulled the ring and then slammed the bomb down at his feet.

Green smoke instantly spread out from under Geralt's feet. Metal fragments as small as dust mixed with other magical materials and merged into the air. There were also faint "sizzling" sounds caused by static electricity.

[Magic-blocking gold bomb]!

The two stone leopards pounced towards Geralt at the same time. This time, they were hit at the same time. His originally agile and nimble pounce movements in the air suddenly became clumsy, and he couldn't even control his balance.

After the bomb landed, Geralt leapt away from the enemy's attack range. The two magic stone leopards were unable to adjust in time and collided with each other in mid-air, rolling to the ground.

The magical creatures reacted quickly indeed. They quickly turned over, adjusted their bodies, and dispersed again.

But as the battle continued, Lann discovered that the two monsters were obviously slower in movement after being hit by the magic gold bomb.

The principle is very simple. The existence and activities of magical creatures are driven by the magical energy within them. Although the magic-blocking gold bombs cannot completely cut off their magic supply, they can easily hinder the functions and operating efficiency of these magics.

The stone leopard's huge size is inherent, and its amazing strength is also provided by its size. These two will not change.

However, the speed and reaction of the stone leopard are closely related to the operation of magic.

After being bombarded by the magic gold bomb, the two stone leopards seemed to have their speed debugged at 0.5 times the normal speed. They walked with heavy steps, reacted slowly, and had poor balance. Even when they jumped in the air, they could not control their center of gravity and began to tumble around randomly.

It will be easy from now on.

For these magical creatures based on cats, human soldiers are most afraid of their swiftness. A heavy suit of armor is like a steel coffin to them. They just wait for the opponent to lose a little bit of blood, and then find the gap in the armor to deliver a fatal blow.

But when they slow down and can no longer launch sneak attacks or escape, it's time for the armored and sharp human soldiers to show their skills.

"Shield Guard, go!"

Because a magic-blocking gold bomb exploded at the scene, the druid could not use magic and had to retreat slightly to the back.

Although Geralt was also affected and could no longer cast spells, he was still able to hold back a stone leopard with his superb swordsmanship and reaction. With a little time, he should be able to solve the problem on his own.

The other stone leopard was now facing eight tall and strong fully-armed shield guards alone. They slowly pushed the stone leopard into the corner and did not attack, but just pushed their large shields forward to compress the space.

Every strike of the stone leopard could leave shocking marks on the shield, but it could not cause effective damage.

As the eight shield guards' shrinking range became smaller and smaller, the stone leopard was soon sandwiched between the eight huge shields like a sandwich, unable to move.

Then Lann led the rest of the men forward, stabbing and drawing their swords through the gaps in the shields.

If the narrow space makes it difficult to perform the move, a spear would be more effective.

It seemed that the stone leopard only had a layer of stone skin when it was in statue mode. Its current touch was only a little tougher than that of ordinary flesh and blood creatures.

Even though the stone leopard was the size of a calf, it could not break free from the huge man. Soon its roars gradually died down, and finally it fell to the ground with a plop.

Lann leaned over the shield and looked inside. Purple light gradually overflowed from the body of the stone leopard and then turned into a pool of powder.

The danger here was temporarily lifted. Looking back at Geralt, the witcher had already put away his sword.

There was a stream of light behind him, and dust was floating slightly with his footsteps.
