Chapter 9 Failure The sky
was filled with gray sand rising with the wind. Under the light red stone with sandstone texture, Xu Yi, who was controlling the [Broken Shadow], half-crouched and stared at the huge and deformed figure at the entrance of the underground ruins in front of him.
The divine spell [Detection] is activated, 100 points of faith, which is not a big consumption for Xu Yi now.
[Ruinous Giant]
[Attributes] Strength 3.7, Agility 1, Constitution 2.5, Intelligence 0.9, Perception 1.6, Charisma 0.6
[Expertise] Giant Club Mastery Lv1, Natural Armor lv3, ???, ???
Comments: This is a group of guys who have abandoned their faith. The evil magic energy they control prevents you from learning more information.
Natural armor level 3, damage reduction reaches a terrifying 15 points, and a revolver with .41 bullets should only break the skin and flesh.
There are still two undetectable specialties, Xu Yi thought thoughtfully.
No, we must attack first! Dozens or even hundreds of shots would cause the monster to bleed profusely, consuming a large amount of its vitality.
Relying on staying far away and being too obvious a target, the swollen giant sent the order to prepare to shoot to the more than a hundred blood-armed gunmen lurking behind the gravel slope. Dozens of gun muzzles were slowly raised and aimed at the ugly giant wearing a torn crotchless shirt, holding a huge wooden stick, standing behind a half-brick wall more than 20 meters away.
The giant's back was bulging high, and the deformed bones destroyed the smooth beauty of the muscle lines. The large and small protrusions combined with the dark brown skin made it look particularly terrifying, and the eyes were of different sizes...
Suddenly he looked towards the ambush place of the Blood Machine Clan with the muzzle raised.
"What! How did we get discovered suddenly..." Xu Yi's face darkened, and he subconsciously activated the detection technique, and another 100 faith points were consumed.
Target's specialty [Passive Perception lv3] is triggered.
It turned out to be such a troublesome expertise as passive perception, and it had reached level 3. When judging whether there were ambushes around, the perception of the useless giant increased by a full 1.5.
The Blood Machines' almost non-existent stealth ability, coupled with the enhanced sandstone backslope terrain, is simply no match for the 3.1 perception level that can be achieved after the Wasted Giant's specialty is triggered.
The giant's right eye, which had obviously grown larger, glared fiercely at the ambush of the Blood Machine Clan. The bionic dummy that had been arranged in advance five meters to the right of the incarnation of [Broken Shadow] made a muffled sound, and its back seemed to bulge strangely like that of the ugly giant. A large number of bent iron wires that could not bear the weight broke out from the bulge. It was obvious that this bionic dummy was unusable.
At the same time, Xu Yi once again activated the [Detection Technique], and the last previously blocked specialty of the Waste Giant was revealed - [Evil Eye Control Level 4].
The ability that the Waste Giant just activated is called [Evil Eye Curse]: The Waste Giant launches an evil eye attack with a gaze, and the target can make a charm saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the target will be infected with the curse and malice carried by the Waste Giant race and gain the distortion curse state. In the distortion state, the target's speed and all resistances are halved.
A successful save halves the damage and grants immunity to the curse.
There was no time to hesitate. The useless giant was already charging towards here with a giant wooden club in his hand. With its strength of 3.7 and the only mastery-level specialty Xu Yi had ever seen, if it rushed into the crowd, it would probably seriously injure everyone with one swing.
At the command, a continuous stream of gunfire rang out, and dozens of bullet holes appeared on the body of the crappy giant. The momentum of the charge was also stopped by the huge recoil. In the hail of bullets, even such a ferocious monster was unable to resist. After losing a lot of blood, it collapsed to the ground with only one breath left.
However, a surprising change occurred!
In the ruins, a thick wooden board that seemed to be used as a cellar door was thrown away and fell like a piece of rag, making a few dull "bang" and "click" sounds.
Seven shabby giants rushed out, dragging giant wooden clubs in their hands. Apparently, they were attracted by the wanton gunfire and the smell of their own blood.
Xu Yi was in a hurry, and he no longer cared about the majesty of the gods, and decisively ordered a retreat. If the foundation was damaged due to this small exploration, it would be a loss.
At the same time, the swollen colossus activated the second-level mode, holding two fine iron swords, and leaped out from behind a huge sandstone.
Seven ugly giants launched an attack while charging, all of them casting the [Evil Eye Curse].
The five bionic dummies were deformed and damaged by the distorted energy, and Xu Yi's pre-war preparations were finally exhausted. Two [Evil Eye Curses] fell on the two flesh-and-blood gunmen who obeyed the order to retreat and calmly raised their guns to fight back.
One of them turned paler after a tremor, but he was still able to stagger back; the other one had a gloomy expression, and there seemed to be a "crackling" sound coming from his body, and his metal spine arched upward. It was obvious that he could not withstand the charm of the [Evil Eye Curse]. His body became deformed, and he was supported by his two companions to retreat.
Under the detection skill, the two flesh gunners suffered 13 and 27 points of damage respectively, and the flesh puppet's physique was naturally over 2.0, which was an extraordinary level, and the conversion ratio of physique to health was 1:20.
Therefore, they generally have more than 40 health points.
Compared to ordinary people, this is already a very high number. The physical fitness of ordinary humans is 1.0, the conversion ratio is 1:10, and the basic health value is only ten points. Even if you can withstand the charm judgment of the [Evil Eye Curse], you may not survive.
However, the flesh puppet can completely bear the curse after failing the immunity, and can stagger away with the help of its companions.
The faith value dropped rapidly due to the consumption of detection and the two incarnations. The seven-meter-tall swollen colossus collided with the broken giant in the lead, and a black shadow twisted and meandered and quietly attached to the swollen colossus.
The giant sword and the wooden stick collided with a dull "bang". In terms of strength, the two were evenly matched!
However, the swollen giant's equipment had been replaced with the excellent fine iron two-handed giant sword that Xu Yi won in the lottery. The hardwood stick was inferior in quality after all. The fine iron giant sword broke the hardwood stick, leaving a long, swollen wound with a dead white color on the body of the useless giant.
The colossus waved its drooping arms in all directions, and the anger and viciousness in the eyes of the ugly giant in the lead were completely replaced by fear.
The disease energy used by the Swelling Colossus is no less strange than the [Evil Eye Curse]. The wounds it inflicts are paralyzed and unconscious, just like the swelling characteristics of the Colossus itself, which is chilling.
The shabby giant, who was half numb from being grabbed by several arms, felt an unspeakable fear in his heart. Fortunately, six companions arrived and hit the swollen giant with six huge hardwood sticks, preventing it from turning around and running away.
The black scales of the giant that had once perfectly defended against the troll worm's fangs were shaking slightly. If Xu Yi could still distract himself and activate the detection technique, he would definitely see that the swollen giant had several injury records!
