Chapter 23 Don’t die, there is still a Shoggoth waiting for you to deal with! ! !
"So, this is the protoplasmic creature you are talking about?" Gu Shanhai looked at the creature restrained in the center of the magic circle not far away with a look of dismay.
About half a person's height, it looks like an amorphous swollen protoplasm, faintly glowing.
Eyes that emit a large amount of green light and pus are constantly forming and decomposing on its surface.
This thing's nickname is Xiuji, and its real name is Shoggoth.
What's more important is that this thing doesn't look like an ordinary shoggoth. It's probably a shoggoth lord, which is much harder to deal with than ordinary shoggoths.
However, it is true to say that Shoggoths are protoplasmic creatures. They are not normal life forms in themselves.
Shoggoth is said to be made from the cells of the outer god Ubo Sathla, who is known as the source of all sources. It is one of the mythical creatures that gram magicians like to summon most. Just put it into the enemy pile. Just throw it away and run quickly. Remember, you must run fast, otherwise you will be eaten.
It's just that the Shoggoth Lord is not summoned under normal circumstances. This thing is too difficult to do.
"You seem to know him?" Tekle asked hesitantly.
"Ahem, let's get to know each other a little bit. Why don't you expel the other party as soon as possible?" Gu Shanhai said that everyone was numb. The appearance of the Shoggoths already represented the existence of the other party's big hole.
He no longer has any thoughts about this world and just wants to leave as soon as possible. With his current strength, he is not suitable for contact with these things.
He suspected that the area outside St. Mary's Hospital might have been captured.
A Shoggoth Lord may not be able to prove anything, but the weird sky is enough to prove that there is something wrong with this world.
"Guji~"
In the magic circle, Lord Shoggoth made some kind of sound.
"It's greeting you." Tekle asked strangely.
"Would you like to greet my family?" Gu Shanhai couldn't help but feel speechless. Why should he scold him? It was not him who did these things.
"It doesn't greet your family, it just greets you. It thinks you are full of wisdom." Tekle was a little confused as to what this had to do with his family.
"Oh, so it's really a greeting. Okay, what are you going to do next?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"I'm going to perform a ritual, and the magic circle may be ineffective next. I want you to help stop this protoplasmic creature." Tekle said immediately.
"." Gu Shanhai's face darkened, he glanced at Lord Shoggoth, then at himself and said, "What makes you think I can stop this thing?"
There may have been something wrong with this Shoggoth Lord when it came, which is why it is so small, but small does not mean weak. Judging from the opponent's appearance, he is definitely not weak to fire.
When converted into levels, it must be at least level 30, and he is only level 3. Even if he shows off this operation, he can't show it off.
"You own"
"Don't let me own it, find another way, otherwise this matter will end here." Gu Shanhai thought about trying to complete the task, but he definitely didn't want to risk his life.
"That's such a pity." Tekle suddenly became a little nervous and his tone was very sharp: "Then I can only do it by myself."
After he finished speaking, Tekle drank a bottle of unknown magic potion in one gulp, and saw the other party's skin torn, and a large number of fungi came out of the skin, looking like they had sprouted.
Gu Shanhai took a few steps back and stayed away from the other party. He originally thought that the other party was preparing to take action against the Shoggoth leader, but unexpectedly he turned his head and stared at Gu Shanhai fiercely.
"You dare to disobey God's order, then merge with God." Tekle directly transformed into the big BOSS.
"Let's just say that it's not good for you to dare to call yourself a god even if you haven't succeeded." Gu Shanhai quickly dodged the opponent's attack.
How should I put it, noob.
The attack method is still just to pounce on him and beat him, but he looks a little disgusting.
Maybe it was the bottle of magic potion that entered his stomach, which directly caused him to lose his sanity.
At this time, the opponent looks like a humanoid fungus community. Yes, mushrooms are growing.
Mushrooms are fungi, not plants.
He always felt that Tekle might have been tricked by Lord Shoggoth.
Because after growing mushrooms, the opponent's functions declined more and more. At first, he could barely keep up with Gu Shanhai, but now he feels like he is out of breath after taking only three steps.
"This isn't right. I've already drank the magic potion. This shouldn't be the case." Tekle felt all kinds of hallucinations rushing in front of his eyes, and even Gu Shanhai became a mess in his eyes.
The weakness of his body caused him to stumble and fall directly to the ground, and his heavy breathing was very abrupt in this silent space.
Gu Shanhai knew that he was going to die.
"Damn, the puzzle book." Gu Shanhai cursed a little.
Lord Shoggoth is simply not something that current players can deal with. The only BOSS that needs to be fought is Tekle.
But the problem is that Gu Shanhai skips the puzzle-solving process now, and he can't defeat the Shoggoth Lord.
There must be something useful in the dungeon to deal with the Shoggoth Lord, otherwise the team will be wiped out.
"Changsheng" After Tekle weakly shouted out his last obsession, he completely died. His whole body was like a puddle of dirt and scattered, and all kinds of fungi also withered.
The Shoggoth who was trapped in the center of the magic circle made a strange chirping sound that Gu Shanhai couldn't understand.
He does have a language pack, but it does not include the language of the Shoggoths. The language of this kind of monster is more like a spiritual translation. On the one hand, it takes up too much space to bring back, and on the other hand, it is too niche. The Shoggoths have it. Do the ancient giants, moon beasts, etc. also need to be included?
But he never expected that the car would overturn temporarily.
In the end, I could only keep searching among the dead mushrooms and retrieve all the magic potions.
"Ugh! It smells so bad. How dare he put this into his mouth?" Gu Shanhai wanted to find out if there was any solution, but he could smell the potion even before it was opened. The stench came out.
With Tekle's death, the entire ritual collapses, and he was at the heart of it.
Therefore, it is his reason to maintain the magic circle of Shoggoth. Now that there is no energy, it will naturally suffer.
"I'm sorry. It doesn't matter if you die, but you actually destroyed all the copies." Gu Shanhai was on the verge of crying.
I don’t know if it’s too late to go back to the logistics warehouse
He originally thought that Tekle was a big treasure, but he disappeared before he could get a hold of it. What a shame. He stood up and was about to run away when he suddenly realized that the magic circle had disappeared. It was very sudden. He thought there was still something there. It's been a while.
Lord Shoggoth squirmed towards Gu Shanhai, who was free again. (End of chapter)
