Although this was not the first time it had enjoyed such a view, it still felt a shock that was indescribable.
For a cat man who had lived in the depths of a secluded tropical jungle since childhood, he originally thought that the size and prosperity of Askatla, the capital of the Amn Empire, was already amazing enough.
But compared with the space scenery before us, the former is nothing.
Especially the huge planet Toril, which is so close, makes Abara fully realize his own insignificance.
Zuo Si, who had just finished assembling the magic ship, saw this scene and immediately asked with a smile: "How is it? Isn't this scenery beautiful and shocking?"
"Yes. I never dreamed that one day I would be able to stand in such a place and observe the whole world from such a perspective. It seems that accepting your conditions at the beginning was not a bad thing. At least so far, this adventure is still very interesting." Abara said with emotion with a smile.
"Believe me, it will become more interesting in the future. In addition, considering your outstanding skills and performance, I have decided to give you a raise. From the original 50 gold coins per month to 250 gold coins, the same as Cogan and Wright." Zuo Si announced his decision directly.
He discovered that in high terrain with a large drop in elevation, the Cat People's excellent jumping and climbing abilities allowed them to easily rush to the enemies ambushing at high altitudes, and then kill them all with the help of their teammates' long-range attacks.
This kind of flexibility and speed is something that traditional fighters like Korgan and Wright do not possess.
In other words, Abara's Hunter class is closer to a mix of Warrior, Ranger, and Assassin.
"A raise? That sounds like a good idea."
The cat man's reaction was obviously very cold.
Because he now has no idea about the purchasing power of gold coins. His previous primitive lifestyle made it unnecessary to use currency, and tribes exchanged goods with each other.
"Money can buy a lot of things, such as your favorite meat and liquor, as well as armor and weapons, and various magical items."
Zuo Si tried to make the other party understand the concept and function of money.
He had given Abara some gold coins before, but the guy spent them all in just a few hours.
Half of them lost all their money in various gambling games, and the other half bought a lot of miscellaneous things, ranging from women's underwear and skirts to daggers, iron pots, cloth, salt, almost everything.
But most of them are things that are of no use at all, just like people in modern society on Earth who place a lot of orders on shopping websites, and then find out after receiving the items that none of them are practical.
However, due to the unique values of the spotted cat people, they do not feel any regrets. Instead, they think it is a great deal to exchange a pile of gold that has no practical use for so many things and happiness.
While the two were talking, old Korgan came out from the starport with his short legs, unbuckled his belt as if no one was around, and started to unleash the water towards the distant planet Toril without any hesitation.
His action not only stunned Abara, but even Zuo Si almost couldn't hold back.
What a fellow! Zuo Si exclaimed, What a fellow!
You know, normal people will inevitably feel awe for the vast universe when seeing such beautiful scenery.
But this evil dwarf warrior treated space as a public toilet where he could urinate and defecate anywhere, without any scruples at all.
After doing all this, he shook himself vigorously, then pulled up his pants, muttered something, and turned back into the asteroid.
When the dwarf was completely gone, Zuo Si held his forehead and complained: "No wonder Korgan's fighting style is so wild, it turns out that he is a madman without any reverence in his bones. Perhaps... he may be one of the very few true non-believers on this continent, who dares to raise his weapon and rush forward even when facing a real god."
"Maybe you are right. He is the most fearless warrior I have ever seen. No matter how powerful the enemy is, his bloodthirsty desire cannot be shaken." Abara commented, touching the thick hair on his chin.
Because he had always been very aware that Korgan did not use his most powerful ability - Berserk - during the sparring.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hold on for that long.
"Yes. Korgan's hometown was destroyed by the dark elves, so he has always maintained a deep hatred in his bones and used it as a driving force to sharpen himself. I guess the uncontrollable bloodthirsty impulse is the most direct manifestation of this emotion. Here, put on this protective mind necklace. Next, we are going to enter the seventeenth floor of the Underworld to deal with those mind flayers."
As he spoke, Zuo Si handed over a necklace that was immune to mind control that he had made himself.
According to the information provided by Erron and other Githyanki, the seventeenth layer of the ground maze is also called "The Deep Sea", where the mind flayers and the slaves they control live.
Every once in a while, their leader, Isemidon, a soul-eating monster more advanced than ordinary mind flayers, also known as a heart-destroying demon, would transplant a large number of mature tadpoles into the brains of slaves, and then transform them into a new mind flayer.
It is in this way that the mind flayers have been able to withstand the fierce attacks from the Githyanki and their red dragon allies time and time again.
In addition, in the middle of the seventeenth floor, there is a psychic-driven turbine generator that can generate amazing energy.
The Githyanki once tried to capture this place, but many people were killed by the horrible energy shock released by the generator, and finally they had to give up temporarily.
Erron felt that since the mind flayers had already built a psychic generator, there must be psychic warehouses and conch shells deeper inside.
The former is a magical device that can put captured humanoids into a deep sleep.
Normally, the creatures placed in the psychic chamber are carefully selected with the best physical fitness and are most suitable to be parasitized by tadpoles and transformed into excellent hosts for mind flayers.
As for the snail-shell ship, it is an absolute "black technology".
Not only can it fly for long periods of time, but it can also travel to other planes through astral jumps, which is equivalent to a psychic version of a magic ship.
Therefore, for Zuo Si, the deep sea on the seventeenth level of the underground maze city is a place that hides many treasures and is worth spending time to explore.
Just like that, after a brief rest in the star port, the group soon entered the seventeenth floor along the passage opened up by the Githyanki.
As soon as they passed through the dark tunnel, they felt the darkness and damp environment.
At the same time, there was the roar of flowing water coming from a distance.
Needless to say, the mind flayers used psychic energy and a large number of slaves to build a dam at the place with the largest drop in the underground river highlands, and that is where the psychic energy generator is located.
Since it was attacked fiercely by the Githyanki not long ago, there are no signs of mind flayer activities along the way. There are only a few traps and monsters scattered around the tunnel.
Along the way, Zuo Si also noticed some magical creatures on the ground that looked a bit like large jellyfish - the corpses of Furu.
This is a friendly creature that can fly quickly in mid-air by ejecting gas, and also possesses a certain degree of psychic ability.
Their bodies are oval in shape, with a huge mouth on top, but without any teeth.
The two eyes are located at the front end of the tentacles just above the body, and like the eye stalks of the eye demon, they can rotate freely and 360 degrees without blind spots.
Below the body are a large number of tentacles ranging from light blue to dark blue.
They mainly rely on absorbing the spiritual power of psychic creatures to meet their own survival needs, but they will not make the person being absorbed feel uncomfortable or endanger his life.
Therefore, both the Githyanki and the mind flayers regard the furun as an annoying pest.
Once discovered, they will be killed immediately.
But for ordinary adventurers, this friendly, intelligent creature that possesses a lot of strange knowledge is a good source of intelligence.
In addition, Furu is very sensitive to the emotions of all creatures, and will express its emotions by changing its own color. Light pink represents happiness, dark blue represents sadness, green represents curiosity, and dark red represents anger.
Without exception, these corpses are all dark blue, which symbolizes sadness.
Zuo Si had once read a detailed introduction to the furuma in the monster ecology compiled by Elminster, so he had some understanding of this interesting creature.
"What is this? A jellyfish from the Underdark? Can I eat it?"
The pyromancer Alena squatted down and poked Furu's elastic body, her face full of curiosity.
She even wanted to cut off a piece with the dagger she carried with her and put it in her mouth to taste it.
Fortunately, Zuo Si was quick to stop this reckless behavior and scolded him angrily: "Idiot! Are you crazy? Furu is an intelligent creature with a very high intelligence level and psychic power. If you eat this thing, you will immediately turn into an extremely chaotic and evil crimson color under the faction detection magic."
"Huh? This thing is an intelligent creature!"
Alena opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She couldn't believe that something like a jellyfish could actually have thoughts and independent consciousness.
Not only him, but everyone else in the team is also very different.
After all, Furul lives in the Underdark or the Astral Plane most of the time, hiding near communities of psychic races like the mind flayers and Githyanki, stealing their psychic energy for food. He rarely appears on the surface of the material world, and more than 99% of adventurers may have never seen him.
In addition, its appearance and shape are really a bit strange, so before seeing a living Furuno, it is impossible for normal people to believe that it is an intelligent creature.
Just when Zuo Sixiang was about to give some scientific knowledge to this group of "illiterate people", the spotted cat man suddenly rushed behind the rock in the corner of the passage at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, he came out carrying a palm-sized Furu cub.
This little guy was obviously a lucky one who escaped the massacre by hiding in the corner. Because he was too scared, his body turned dark blue, and he kept sending pleading signals to everyone in the team through the mental connection, while secreting a foul-smelling liquid from his body.
If it is an adult furunculata, the foul-smelling liquid alone can make people pass out, and they will eventually have to let it go.
But the hatchling was so obviously small that Abara merely turned his head and covered his nose with his other hand.
"It looks so pitiful. What are you going to do with it?" asked the half-orc Rhett in an uncertain tone.
"Hmm - why not take it back and give it to Isadora as a familiar. She is a psychic and a wizard, so the Furu cub should be a good helper."
As he spoke, Zuo Si took out his wand and cast a cleansing spell on the little guy in front of him, then put his hand on the other's soft body to show his kindness.
Gradually, the Furu cub seemed to sense that the group of people in front of it had no hostility, and the color of its body quickly changed from dark blue, which symbolized fear, to green, which symbolized curiosity.
Because it is still too young, it cannot express its meaning clearly through telepathy, but just keeps conveying various emotions.
After a ten-minute long communication, Zuo Si finally made him understand the meaning of "magic pet".
When it learned that it could have a master to protect it and provide it with stable spiritual energy as food, it immediately agreed to the deal and lay directly on Zuo Si's shoulder, its body turning pink, which symbolized joy.
Whenever Alena tried to get close, the cub would immediately hide in Zuo Si's arms out of fear.
It was obvious that the pyromancer's attempt to taste the flesh of Furu's corpse had really scared it.
Carrying the Furu cub, the team continued along the damp and dark passage.
After a while, they saw a rushing underground river and an underground lake formed in the low-lying and flat areas.
There is no doubt that this underground river and lake are the origin of the name of the seventeenth layer "Deep Sea".
After walking a distance forward, a huge cave about ten meters high appeared in front of us.
But what's strange is that the floor of this cave is actually sunken, and there is a broken human statue in the pit.
From her appearance, one can vaguely tell that this is a female dragonborn, and there are some gold coins, gems and other trophies scattered around her.
With the power brought by the silver fire, Zuo Si clearly saw the bright arcane light of change at the bottom of the pit.
Even if you use your butt to think, you know this must be a trap.
And that statue was not just a statue, but a living person who had been petrified.
You have to know that the Dragonborn has a very high resistance to magic, and petrification is usually difficult to have an effect on it.
Coupled with the pits that are clearly luring adventurers to get closer, it can be basically concluded that these are the masterpieces of Halaster Black Robe himself.
Only this old madman would have nothing better to do than to deliberately set up all kinds of traps in the corners of the underground maze in order to enjoy watching the adventurers die tragically or panic.
In order to confirm what kind of trap this was, Zuo Si directly summoned a ferocious wolf and ordered it to jump into the deep pit.
Just one second later, the huge pit that was cast with transformation magic closed instantly like a mouth.
The ferocious wolf didn't even have a chance to jump up before it was crushed and disappeared without a trace.
As for the unfortunate guy who was petrified, it seemed that he was endowed with an ability similar to the earth element, and could blend into the surrounding rocks and earth without being crushed.
After about ten seconds, the closed pit slowly opened and returned to its previous state.
Even the gold coins, gems and magic items were intact.
Obviously, these things are baits used to lure greedy adventurers into the trap.
"Damn it! I was just about to jump down and fish out all those valuable things." Korgan couldn't help but curse under his breath.
As a bloodthirsty and brutal dwarf berserker, he has only one reason to go out on adventures, and that is for money.
So when I see something valuable, I will subconsciously pick it up and put it in my bag first.
If I really jumped down, I would be a meat patty now.
At least a seventh-level divine spell - resurrection - is needed to pull it back from the world of the dead.
"I think we need a long pole now. Adventurers in Amn often bring a sturdy long pole when exploring caves and underground places, specifically for such situations."
The half-orc Rhett stroked his chin and gave a very professional suggestion.
A pole that is long enough and strong enough can not only be used to test possible traps in narrow passages, but also help adventurers cross places such as pits.
The only problem is that it's too long to carry, but too short to be of much use.
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
Zuo Si smiled and waved his wand to cast a summoning spell. In the blink of an eye, everything including the statue flew up at once.
"Hahahaha! Well done!"
The old dwarf grinned and swept all the spoils into the dimensional bag on his back, waiting to be distributed by the team leader Zuo Si after the adventure was over.
As for the petrified female dragon adventurer, she simply ignored it.
He values money more than anything else, so he doesn't care whether these things belong to the other party or not. Anyway, they are ownerless when he gets them.
Zuo Si ignored the loot that was worth little money, but performed a simple magic detection on the statue and then activated a scroll to remove petrification.
moment!
The statue, which had its hands raised and a look of horror on its face, regained its flesh and blood in just a few seconds.
However, due to being petrified for a long time, she looked extremely weak. She couldn't even stand steadily and fell to the ground with a thud. She was covered in sweat and gasping for breath.
"You... who are you? Where is this?"
The woman with obvious dragon-born features was clearly in a state of extreme confusion, and even her speech seemed weak.
"My name is Soth. As you can see, I am the leader of this adventure team. Who are you? How did you get petrified by magic and placed here?" Zuo Si asked tentatively with interest.
Through observation, he could basically confirm that the woman in front of him was already a fifth-generation dragon descendant or above, and did not have scales, horns, claws, and wings like the first-generation half-dragons.
The only thing that can prove his dragon bloodline is his long silver hair and pupils that flow like mercury.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other party is either of the white dragon bloodline or the silver dragon bloodline.
In addition, judging from his attire, he should be a warrior with considerable strength.
"Petrified?"
When the woman heard this, she instantly recalled the scene before she lost consciousness. She couldn't help but curse through gnashed teeth, "Damn it! It was Halaster Black Robe! That damn old lunatic petrified me with magic."
"Petrified? Why would he do that? As far as I know, the Mad Mage generally won't attack adventurers in the Underworld easily, unless someone takes the initiative to attack him." Zuo Si asked in confusion.
"Because one of my teammates was a mage, when he used the fireball, he accidentally affected Halaster Black Robe who suddenly teleported over.
He regarded this accident as a signal to attack, and immediately summoned a large number of monsters and released high-level magic to overwhelm us.
Before I was petrified, I saw with my own eyes that the mage in the team was blown to pieces by the seven-ring delayed explosive fireball, and another warrior and ranger were smashed into meat patties by the fire giant's hammer.
The priest died instantly under the influence of necromancy magic, and was unable to cast even a single divine spell.
In front of the Mad Mage, we are as fragile as a group of newborn babies, powerless to resist."
As she said this, the woman's eyes revealed an intense fear, and her whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
For most adventuring teams that are called elites by the outside world, legendary wizards like Halaster Black Robe are essentially the same as gods and are absolutely invincible.
What's more, this is the underground maze, and the Mad Mage is fighting at home.
Fortunately, the woman's mental state was pretty good. She regained her composure in just a few seconds and said with great gratitude: "My name is Asasra, Asasra Laguslakna. Thank you for saving me, otherwise I don't know how long I would have remained in that stone statue state."
"Arthasla Ragslakna? The name of a dragon!" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
It is not surprising for first-generation half-dragons to have such names, since one of their parents must be a true dragon.
But if it is a dragon descendant after five generations, the parents are basically mortals. In theory, they will not give their children dragon names, as that would be too ostenatious and easily cause trouble.
When talking about this matter, Asasra's expression was both proud and proud, and he obviously respected the source of his bloodline very much.
Of course, considering that most silver dragons are of the good camp and are very interested in mortal society, they often transform into elves or half-elves to wander between towns, and even become friends or even lovers with mortal adventurers.
In addition, they have a very strong sense of family and will not abandon their offspring like the five-colored evil dragons, so they often create a dragon family inadvertently.
This is why, when the silver dragon and the red dragon clash, even though their own strength is far inferior to the opponent, they can often gain the upper hand.
Because compared to fighting alone, they prefer just group fights.
It doesn't matter if you can't beat them, you can always ask for help.
However, the price is that once the power of the red dragon is too strong, the silver dragons and their lovers, friends and offspring may all die in a battle without a single one left.
"Humph! You have been petrified here for such a long time, and your great-great-grandmother the silver dragon has not come to save you. It seems that she is just a coward. She dare not enter the underground city, let alone provoke the powerful mad wizard."
Korgan obviously couldn't stand the woman's arrogance. He didn't give her any face at all and laughed at her directly.
"Dwarf! What did you say?"
Asasra was instantly enraged and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.
But when she reached her waist, she discovered that her scabbard was empty, and even the shield on her back was missing.
Korgan grinned with a bloodthirsty smile, raised the ax that was flashing with sharp cold light and threatened: "I said that your great-grandmother, the silver dragon, was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong! Do you have any objection?"
Without a doubt!
If Asasra still dared to be stubborn at this time, he would definitely kill him without hesitation.
Similarly, the half-orc warrior Rhett and the spotted cat man Abara surrounded the dragonborn from the left and right sides.
The palms of the pyromancer Alena also began to flash with red flames.
Since the team led by Zuo Si does not have a good camp at all and is basically either neutral or evil, their first reaction when encountering such a situation is to help their teammates first.
Asasra, realizing his situation, immediately broke out in a sweat.
After all, he had just recovered from the petrified state, and his body was inevitably in an extremely weak state, and he didn't have anything in his hands that could be used as a weapon.
If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid I won't be able to last even a second.
But she felt unwilling to just give in and allow the other party to insult her great-grandmother, and she was conflicted for a moment.
Seeing the woman who was so aggressive one second, turned into a coward the next, Korgan immediately showed a disappointed expression and spat, saying contemptuously: "Bah! What a waste! You are worthy of being called a Dragonborn? You are far worse than the other Dragonborn I know."
Needless to say, the old dwarf is referring to Davian, the Dragonborn Knight on the Planeswalker Summoning Card.
Since canceling the summons last time, Zuo Si has not summoned it, but instead used it as a trump card to turn the situation around at a critical moment.
Because after the card level reached LV8, Davian has gained the ability to transform into a red dragon, and not just an ordinary dragon, but a legendary dragon with an extremely high professional level.
With his terrifying combat power, he can easily raze a city to the ground by himself.
"That's enough. Let's stop here."
Zuo Si took decisive action to stop the dwarf berserker's further provocations before the situation developed to the worst.
Korgan was quite considerate of his generous employer. He immediately put away his ax and muttered, "What a pity. I wanted to taste the blood of a dragonborn and see how it tastes different from that of other creatures."
Asasra undoubtedly heard these words, and immediately felt the hairs on his body stand up.
At this moment, she finally understood how evil and bloodthirsty this dangerous dwarf was.
If possible, she even wanted to escape from this adventure team of unknown origin immediately.
But the problem is that this is the seventeenth level of the deep sea in the underground maze.
Without teammates and suitable weapons, it is almost impossible to return to the surface alive.
In desperation, Asasra could only temporarily follow Zuo Si's team and continue to move forward.
When passing by a cave full of corpses of Githyanki, war lizards, gray dwarves, ogres, orcs, and mind flayers, she picked up a longsword that was not too rusty from the ground, and she felt a little safer.
Obviously, after the fierce attack of the Githyanki last time, the mind flayers and the slaves under their control suffered heavy casualties, so that they have not been able to regain control of this layer until now.
Continuing to walk forward, they soon came to a stone gate inlaid with complex patterns.
In the center of the cave, facing the stone gate, there were some spears inserted, and at the end of each of them was a severed head of a mind flayer.
Without asking, you can tell that this must be the work of the Githyanki.
They tried to use this method to provoke their mortal enemy and make him open the entrance that was closed by psychic energy from the inside.
But unfortunately, the mind flayer is an absolutely rational and cold-blooded creature, and will not become furious and lose its composure because of the death of its own kind.
Feeling the protective power contained in the stone door, Arthasla could not help but remind them: "These doors can only be opened by the mind flayers. You can't get in. So why not turn around and return to the surface now?"
"hehe..."
Zuo Si showed a meaningful expression on his face, and directly took out a biological card and activated it.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, a living mind flayer appeared out of nowhere before their eyes.
Without saying a word, it walked straight to the gate and used its mind to open it.
After doing this, the Mind Flayer walked straight in and disappeared into the pitch-black darkness.
"You...you can actually summon and control the Mind Flayer?!" Asasra was obviously frightened.
After all, the mind flayer is most famous for its powerful psychic power.
And this power determines that they cannot be controlled or enchanted by magic or other things.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si had no intention of answering this question, but instead took the lead and walked in.
As for the other people in the team, they were already used to it.
After groping forward for nearly ten minutes, we finally arrived at a campsite with a fountain and a small amount of leftover supplies.
There are also torches with eternal flames hanging on the walls.
Apparently, this was once where slaves controlled by the mind flayers lived.
However, judging from the thick layer of dust on the surface, no one has used it for a long time.
Maybe the slaves were sent as cannon fodder to fight the Githyanki and died, or maybe tadpoles were stuffed into their noses or ears, and eventually their brains were eaten and transformed into a mind flayer.
The only thing that is certain is that their chances of survival are basically zero.
Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to rest on the spot for a while, he suddenly received a mental message from the Mind Flayer spy he had sent out.
Isemidon, the leader of this level of mind flayers, in order to destroy the Githyanki and their starport base on the upper level, was so crazy that he secretly bred a giant mind flayer insect.
You have to know that this thing is an absolute taboo even in the mind flighter society.
It is said that only when a tadpole is strong enough and has no host to parasitize, and continues to devour its own kind, will it eventually break the limit of its own size and eventually grow into a terrifying behemoth.
From a distance, it looks like a giant worm about thirty to forty meters long. Its body is covered with the same mucus as the Mind Flayer. The front end of its head is a big mouth full of tentacles and sharp teeth, which can crush almost anything alive and swallow it.
The most important thing is that this thing possesses more powerful psychic power than the Mind Flayer or even the Mind Destroyer.
A normal mind flayer casting a mind blast can at best stun the target.
However, the mind blast of the heart-stealing giant worm can kill a creature directly like a needle prick, or destroy the target's mind in an instant through psychic crushing.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the creature must be intelligent enough.
If something like a bug didn't even have self-awareness, it would be able to ignore such attacks.
It seems that low IQ is not always a bad thing.
At least when facing the giant heart-stealing insect, you can be immune to powerful mental attacks.
In addition, the amazing strength and physical bonus brought by its huge body also gives the Heart-stealing Giant Worm amazing close combat capabilities and is extremely difficult to kill.
When they bite, they inject a deadly toxin into the wound.
As for methods such as suggestion, mind control, thought perception, teleportation, and charm, they can be released at will without restriction.
If someone casts teleportation magic in front of this guy and escapes, it will capture the other person's teleportation location.
When the caster thinks he has successfully escaped, he will often find that the deadly big insect teleports over almost at the same time and swallows him up in one gulp.
If there is no magical equipment for mental protection, no matter how many people come, it will be useless when facing such a terrifying monster.
"Guys, I think we may have to prepare for a fight. There's a giant heart-stealing worm waiting for us in the tunnel ahead."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and directly told the information he had obtained.
"A giant heart-stealing worm? What is that?" asked the half-orc Rhett in confusion.
Zuo Si touched his chin and explained, "You can think of it as a giant worm that is about 30 to 40 meters long, with very similar psychic abilities to the Mind Flayer, but with psychic abilities that are ten times or more powerful. As for its combat power, it is probably about the same as two or three dragons combined. The most troublesome thing is that this giant Mind Flayer worm may be accompanied by some Mind Flayers and the slaves they control."
"Damn it! This thing sounds like it's going to be hard to deal with."
Korgan subconsciously touched the mind protection necklace hanging around his neck.
He had fought against the mind flayers before and knew how difficult and insidious these octopus heads were.
Often, if you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by the other party's psychic abilities.
By the time you react, you might find that those you killed were your companions, not your enemies.
"It's really hard to deal with. But don't worry, I have already prepared enough cannon fodder..."
After saying that, Zuo Si directly activated another biological card in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of goblin, werewolves and zombies crowded the entire cave and the surrounding passages.
Different from those guys in the basement of the Mage Tower who are poorly equipped and mainly used as laborers.
These goblin werewolf zombies are obviously much stronger and taller.
Not only does he wear sophisticated steel full body armor and a full-coverage helmet, he also holds a variety of weapons such as hammers, axes, spears, javelins, tower shields, crossbows, etc.
They looked just like an army, fighting in small teams under the command of the Undead Lieutenant.
In fact, this is an army of undead that has been strengthened and integrated through various magics.
Different from those low-level undead creatures that only know how to rush forward in a mess.
Because some of these undead lieutenants were granted the art of undead creature enlightenment, they gained the same wisdom as higher undead.
Therefore, this undead army possesses an extremely high degree of organization, as well as discipline and execution that living beings can never achieve.
In addition, Zuo Si had upgraded this card, so all the goblin werewolf soldiers and undead lieutenants had a certain level of warrior profession, which was simply incomparable to ordinary armies.
What's more, when dealing with enemies like the Mind Flayer that possess psychic powers, the Undead and Constructs that are completely immune to charm control and psychic damage are always the best choice.
But considering the price of constructs, even the cheapest cost will not be less than two thousand gold coins each, so undead creatures are more economical.
Gulp!
Asasra couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and was stunned by the densely packed sea of undead that seemed to have no end in sight.
At the same time, the look he gave Zuo Si was filled with awe and fear.
She simply couldn't imagine how the young man in front of her could summon and control so many undead creatures. She wanted to ask several times, but ultimately held back.
Because she wasn't sure if she would be silenced if she asked.
As the only person who knew Zuo Si's background, Alena smiled and teased, "My dear master, you finally showed some of your momentum. Let's go and kill all the enemies on this floor together."
"Hey! My axe is thirsty."
Korgan was obviously excited by the undead army that appeared out of nowhere in front of him, and completely forgot his previous fear of the mind flayers and the giant mind flayer insects.
With so many undead creatures that had no fear of death serving as cannon fodder, he felt that it would not be difficult to massacre an entire city of mind flayers.
After all, the mind flayer is made of flesh and blood, just like ordinary people. If it is cut by a sharp weapon, it will bleed and die.
"Go ahead! Let's go give those mind flayers a big surprise."
Zuo Si directly gave the Undead Officer the order to attack.
The latter understood what he meant and immediately began to command the low-level undead to surround the nest of the heart-stealing giant worm from all directions.
Whether they encounter mind flayers or slaves controlled by them along the way, they will attack immediately without hesitation.
Especially in narrow passages, it was difficult for the enemy to dodge the volleys of fire from powerful crossbows, and as a result, they were shot like hedgehogs.
The deadly poison coated on the front end of the crossbow arrows prevents anyone hit by the arrow from running far and will fall to the ground, losing the ability to move, or die from respiratory failure.
Even if some mind flayers were strong enough to create a psychic barrier to withstand the volleys of crossbows and successfully use psychic spells to destroy several teams, this loss would be insignificant to the vast undead army.
Soon, they will be overwhelmed by more undead rushing over.
As for using teleportation magic or escaping in spirit form...
Sorry, Zuo Si hiding in the dark may jump out at any time to attack and finish you off.
The other team members were also blessed with the fifth-ring transformation magic [Thor Stone Walk], which allowed them to move freely in the rocks, suddenly appeared behind the enemy and launch a fatal blow.
Relying on this tactic of using sneak undead cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attention head-on while launching shameless attacks, it didn't take long for the area around the Heartstealing Giant Insect's nest to be completely cleared out, and not even a single one escaped to report the news.
In order to avoid waste, all the killed mind flayers had their heads cut off and soaked in alchemical solution for future use.
When approaching the center of the nest, Zuo Si immediately discovered that all the entrances here were blocked by a continuous wall of force.
You don't need to ask to know that it must have been set up intentionally to prevent the giant insect from escaping.
After all, the giant mind flayer is not an ordinary mind flayer. It will not obey their orders and will not even regard them as its own kind.
Once it gets out of control, it might even devour the Mind Flayer.
In addition, even if the force wall is destroyed using disintegration, the latter will quickly recover within one minute.
This is possible only because of some rather strange-looking devices.
The energy generated by the dam's psionic generator is continuously transported into it through pipes, and then shaped into a stable force field wall.
It has to be said that when it comes to psychic technology, the mind flayers are definitely the race that has gone the furthest.
Their amazing technical strength is simply unmatched by any other race.
Even Zuo Si couldn't understand the operating principles of many devices.
When the energy supply to those devices was cut off, the road to the center of the giant insect nest was finally completely opened.
With the help of dark vision, one can vaguely see that in a huge deep pit, there is a worm that is more than thirty-five meters long and looks like a super giant earthworm.
Its skin was dark purple, and from time to time it would open its bloody mouth at the front and make a creepy sound.
That huge mouth full of fangs and strong tentacles can easily crush and swallow a person.
It is easy to tell from the densely packed bones of various sizes around him that this guy has eaten at least hundreds of slaves and is always hungry.
