Chapter 184 183. Both sides suffer
It is round, but it is not a euglena, and its size is about the same as a hot air balloon.
Lin Jun easily guessed what it was. It must be the evil eye he encountered last time!
Lin Jun took a look at his own team, which was said to be an army of six hundred Puji, but in fact there were nearly a hundred cow and horse Puji among them.
After all, killing the enemy is not the goal; transporting the bodies back for decomposition is the goal.
There are less than 500 Puji now, fighting a LV50 monster...can they win?
Lin Jun really thinks he can fight.
The eye worm is so fragile, and the evil eye, which also looks like an eyeball, should not be known for its blood volume, right?
And this time, my Puji has a complete range of varieties.
There are rolling explosions, flying explosions, cannon mushrooms, and even a cannon mushroom variant that sprays digestive slime.
Even if the Evil Eye's ray attack can kill a row of Pujis in one second, there should still be enough time for the Pujis to output.
The Pujis didn't have to wait too long. Although the Evil Eye was floating, its speed was not slow at all and it quickly entered the cave.
The moment it entered the range of [Magic Perception], Lin Jun opened its panel.
[Level: LV50]
It was indeed the same one from last time.
[HP: 1480]
It's so big, but it has only this much health. It's really a fragile monster.
After the Evil Eye entered the cave, the Pujis scattered and rushed forward.
Based on last experience, the range of the Evil Eye far exceeds that of the Puji, so this time it is the Puji's turn to charge.
Leading the charge are still Bat Puji and Rolling Puji.
The Evil Eye stopped far away, and facing the surging Puji army, its huge pupils suddenly expanded to the limit.
[Petrifying Ray LV8]
The two closest Bat Puji and Rolling Puji were both petrified, and grayish-white spots immediately appeared on their body surfaces.
Although the speed of petrification was not as fast as the previous time when he was investigating Puji, but during a high-speed sprint, even if only part of the body was instantly stiffened, the unbalanced weight was enough to make Puji completely out of control.
In an instant, the out-of-control Puji either slammed into the rugged rock wall and was smashed into pieces, or its body was torn apart in the rolling and friction, and it collapsed to the ground - the suicide troops were completely wiped out by the evil eye in one blow!
On the contrary, the mushroom troops that had not yet gotten close were not affected by the petrification at all.
It seems that this method of large-scale attack will weaken both the power and range of petrification.
However, Lin Jun didn't dare let the Pujis get any closer.
Since there are medium-range attacks, the numbers of the Pujis will no longer be an advantage. It would be better to sacrifice the hit rate and try ultra-long-range attacks.
Lin Jun ordered the Pujis to start attacking on the spot.
At a distance of nearly 500 meters, even with the blessing of [Precision] and the target being the huge evil eye, the Pujis' hit rate was still touching.
Lin Jun was unable to determine the exact range of the Evil Eye's area attack, so he could only order his troops to keep firing and try their best to consume as much blood as possible.
but……
A few lucky shells finally crossed the distance and were about to hit the huge body of the Evil Eye, but in the instant before contact, they were easily blocked by an invisible magic barrier, causing only a few faint ripples before disappearing without a trace.
The evil eye was not hurt at all.
Lin Jun had to study its skill bar carefully again.
[Skills: Petrification Ray LV8, Magic Shield LV8, Cold Resistance LV8, Magic Perception LV7...]
Magic shield?
The Evil Eye's huge body has floated into a range of 300 meters, and more and more mushroom cannons are hitting it!
However, apart from causing a series of futile magical ripples in front of it, there was really no harm at all!
The mushroom cannon didn't work, so Lin Jun wanted to try digestive mucus to see if it could cause damage, but this attack was at a shorter range, and the evil eye had already released the [Petrification Ray] again...
Under the pale light, the Pujis were turned into stone in large numbers, and together with Qis' dozen or so clumsy insects suffered - it seemed that this range attack could not distinguish between friend and foe, just like Lin Jun's [infrasonic attack].
Not long after, hundreds of stone statues of various postures suddenly appeared in the cave, and it was dead silent.
The troops Lin Jun sent to launch a surprise attack...
Not completely destroyed yet!
The three bats managed to escape.
Some of them hid behind rocks, and some hid behind other birds.
[Petrifying Ray] obviously cannot cause penetrating damage.
Just when Evil Eye thought he had accomplished his mission and stopped attacking, three black shadows shot out from their hiding place like arrows!
【Wake jet】
One of them lost control and smashed to the ground, destroying itself.
But the other two flew past.
In a hurry, the evil eye only had time to glare, and a single attack turned a Puji into stone in mid-air, but the last bat Puji managed to rush up.
The evil eye tried to attack the Puji with the tentacles floating around its eyeball, but the Puji exploded in advance.
The ripples of the magic shield surged wildly, but it was no longer as easy as when it blocked the [Mushroom Cannon].
Just like a firecracker exploded next to the eye, the evil eye was almost blown off from the air, and the light in the pupil dimmed a lot.
Although it lost less than one-sixth of its life, the Evil Eye did not dare to move forward. Its huge body hastily turned around and fled back to the deep passage it came from at a faster speed than when it came, and quickly disappeared from Lin Jun's detection range.
…
…
…
Both sides suffer!
Qis's "transport team" was completely destroyed, and Lin Jun's sneak attack troops were also completely destroyed.
But still a lot of information was gained.
Lin Jun had a rough idea of the Evil Eye's attack mode. As for its [Magic Shield], it seemed to be very effective in defending against magic-related attacks. However, when it came to defending against physical attacks, although it was not ineffective, its effect was obviously greatly reduced.
In this way, we can formulate some targeted strategies next time...
But these are not the point.
In fact, this was the first time that Lin Jun encountered an enemy capable of eliminating cannon fodder Puji on a large scale.
Even if there are fifteen, they can only crush anything within a range of ten meters. And this time, the evil eye has an attack radius of about three hundred meters. The effect shown is that Lin Jun's Pujihai tactics... are ineffective!
After thinking about it, Lin Jun decided to improve the basic qualities of the Pujis and make some specializations...
First of all, to deal with the evil eye, Lin Jun needs some Puji that can be placed in front to block the view.
Lin Jun thought of the fat Puji, whose large size made them suitable as cover for other Puji.
But having a large body with high physique is not enough, the strength attribute must also be increased appropriately, otherwise the fat guy Puji will move too slowly.
At the same time, in order to resist petrification, Lin Jun plans to add [Rock Eating] or [Chitinous Shell] to them.
The former can form a thick layer of rock armor on the body, but the petrification rays cannot petrify the rock armor!
As for whether the [chitinous shell] can prevent petrification, Lin Jun is not sure, but the shell is obviously much lighter than the rock armor and can save a lot of attributes.
At the same time, Lin Jun also equipped it with [Magic Resistance LV6] which he had hardly used before. According to Lin Jun's understanding, this kind of petrification should be classified as a magic attack.
The last one is 【Heavy Armor Mastery LV5】which is contributed by humans. This skill can both enhance the defense effect and reduce the impact of heavy armor on actions. It is a must-have for meat shields.
On this basis, Lin Jun also plans to create a few variants, such as adding mushroom cannons, hallucinogenic spores, self-destruction, etc.
