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 a 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.
幸好左思手疾眼快制止了这种鲁莽的行为，没好气的训斥道：“白痴！你疯了吗？呋噜可是智慧生物，而且拥有极高的智力水平和心灵异能。如果你吃了这玩意，立刻就会在阵营侦测魔法下呈现出极度混乱邪恶的深红色。”
“哈？这玩意是智慧生物！”
阿莱娜瞪大眼睛露出难以置信的表情，压根无法相信这种像是水母之类的东西竟然有思维和独立的意识。
不光是他，队伍中的其他人也都十分差异。
毕竟呋噜大多数时候都生活在幽暗地域或者星界，靠躲藏在夺心魔、吉斯洋基人这种拥有心灵能力的种族群落附近，偷窃对方的灵能为食，很少会出现在物质世界的地表，几乎百分之九十九以上的冒险者可能都没有见过。
再加上长相和外形实在是有点猎奇，因此在见到活着的呋噜之前，正常人根本不可能相信这是一种智慧生物。
就在左思想要给这群“文盲”做一下科普的时候，斑猫人突然以极快的速度冲向通道角落的岩石后面。
眨眼功夫，他就拎着一个只有巴掌大小的呋噜幼崽从走了出来。
这个小家伙明显是躲在角落里逃过屠杀的幸运儿，因为太过恐惧的关系身体呈现出深蓝色，而且不停通过心灵连接向在场整个小队所有人发出哀求的信号，同时从身体里分泌出恶臭的液体。
如果是成年的呋噜，光是这些恶臭液体都能把人活生生熏晕过去，最终不得不将其放开。
但这个幼体明显太小了，以至于仅仅只是让阿巴拉侧过头用另外一只手捂住鼻子。
“看着怪可怜的。您打算怎么处理它？”半兽人瑞特用不是很确定的语气问。
“嗯——不如带回去送给伊莎多拉做个魔宠吧。她是心灵术士兼法师，所以呋噜幼崽应该刚好是个不错的帮手。”
说着，左思掏出魔杖对着眼前的小家伙释放了一个清洁咒，然后把手按在对方柔软的身体表满释放善意。
渐渐地，呋噜幼崽似乎感受到了眼前这伙人没有敌意，身体颜色迅速从象征恐惧的深蓝变成象征绿色的好奇。
由于还太小的关系，它没办法通过心灵感应明确表达自己的意思，只是不断的传递各种情绪。
经过长达十分钟的交流，左思最终才让其明白“魔宠”的含义。
当得知可以有一个主人保护自己，并给自己提供稳定的心灵能量作为食物时，它立刻便同意了这个交易，直接趴在左思的肩膀上，身体有呈现出象征愉悦的粉红色。
每当阿莱娜试图靠近，幼崽都会立刻吓的往左思怀里躲。
很显然，烈焰术士刚才想要品尝呋噜尸体上的肉这种行为着实把它吓得不轻。
带着这只呋噜的幼崽，队伍继续沿着潮湿黑暗的通道前进。
没过一会儿功夫，他们便看到了一条奔腾的暗河，以及在低洼平缓处形成的地下湖泊。
毫无疑问，这条暗河跟湖泊就是第十七层“深海”名字的由来。
又往前走了一段距离，一个高约十米左右巨大洞穴出现在眼前。
不过奇怪的是，这个洞穴的地面居然是凹陷下去的，坑里边还有一座破碎的人性雕像。
通过外形依稀可以分辨出这是一名女性龙裔，周围还有一些散落在周围的金币、宝石和其他战利品。
凭借银火所带来的力量，左思清晰看到了坑底呈现出明亮的变化系奥术灵光。
哪怕用屁股想也知道这必然是一个陷阱。
并且那个雕像也不是单纯的雕像，而是中了石化术的活人。
要知道龙裔本身的魔法抗性就非常高，通常情况下石化术是很难对其产生作用的。
再加上那些明显在引诱冒险者靠近的陷坑，基本可以断定是海拉斯特·黑袍本人的杰作。
也只有这个老疯子才会吃饱了撑的没事干，故意在地脉迷城的角落设置各种各样的陷阱，以此来欣赏那些冒险者惨死或是手忙脚乱的样子。
为了确认这究竟是一个什么陷阱，左思直接召唤了一条凶暴狼，命令其跳进深坑里。
仅仅一秒钟之后，被施加了变化系魔法的大坑便如同一张嘴瞬间闭合。
凶暴狼连跳上来的机会都没有，便被硬生生压扁消失的无影无踪。
至于那个被石化的倒霉蛋，像是加持了类似土元素一样的能力，可以与周围的岩石和大地融为一体，并不会被挤碎。
大概十几秒钟之后，闭合的深坑又缓慢张开恢复了之前的样子。
就连那些金币、宝石和魔法物品也完好无损。
很显然，这些东西就是用来引诱那些贪婪冒险者上钩的饵料。
“该死！我刚才还想要跳下去把那些值钱的东西都捞上来呢。”寇根忍不住低声咒骂了一句。
作为一名嗜血残暴的矮人狂战士，他外出冒险的理由只有一个，那就是为了钱。
所以当看到有值钱的东西，都会下意识先捡起装进包里再说。
如果真的跳下去，现在应该就是一张肉饼了。
起码需要一发七环神术——复生术才能将其从死者的世界拉回来。
“我想我们现在需要一根长杆。安姆一带的冒险者在进入洞穴地下之类的地方探险时，往往都会带一根坚固的长杆，专门用来应对这样的情况。”
半兽人瑞特摸着下巴给出了一个十分专业的建议。
一根长度足够且结实的长杆，不仅可以用来试探狭窄通道内可能存在的陷阱，而且还能帮助冒险者越过一些诸如陷坑之类的地方。
唯一的问题是，这玩意太长有点不方便携带、太短又起不到什么作用。
“别担心，我有办法。”
左思笑着挥舞魔杖施展召唤咒，眨眼功夫包括雕像在内所有的东西就都一股脑飞了上来。
“哈哈哈哈！干得漂亮！”
老矮人咧开嘴大笑着把所有战利品都扫进身后背着的次元袋里，等待冒险结束后再由身为领队的左思进行分配。
至于那个被石化的女性龙裔冒险者则华丽的无视了。
视财如命的他才不会管这些东西是不是属于对方的，反正他拿到的时候是无主之物。
左思没有理会那些值不了几个钱的战利品，而是对雕像进行了简单的魔法侦测，然后便激活一张解除石化卷轴。
瞬间！
原本保持着高举双手满脸惊恐表情的雕像，在短短几秒钟之内就恢复了血肉之躯。
只不过由于长期被石化的关系，她看起来虚弱极了，甚至连站都站不稳便扑通一声摔倒在地，满身是汗的大口大口喘着粗气。
“你……你们是谁？这是哪里？”
有着明显龙裔特征的女人大脑明显处于极度混乱状态，就连说话都显得有气无力。
“我叫索斯，如你所见是这支冒险小队的领导者。你又是谁？怎么会被魔法石化并放在这里？”左思饶有兴致的试探道。
通过观察，他基本可以确定眼前这个女人已经是第五代以上的龙裔，并没有第一代半龙那样的鳞片、犄角、爪子和翅膀。
唯一能够证明其巨龙血统的，就只有那一头银白色的长发，以及宛如水银般流动的瞳孔。
不出意外的话，对方不是白龙血脉就是银龙血脉。
另外从穿戴打扮来判断，应该是一名实力相当不错的战士。
“石化？”
女人听到这句话瞬间回想起了在失去意识之前的画面，立刻忍不住咬牙切齿的咒骂道：“该死！是海拉斯特·黑袍！那个该死的老疯子用魔法把我给石化了。”
“石化？他为什么要这么做？据我所知，一般情况下疯法师是不会轻易攻击地脉迷城中的冒险者，除非有人主动向他发起攻击。”左思十分疑惑的追问道。
“因为我的队友有一名法师，在使用火球的时候不小心波及到了突然传送过来的海拉斯特·黑袍。
而他将这次意外事故视作攻击的信号，立刻便召唤大量怪物并释放高阶魔法淹没了我们。
在我被石化之前，亲眼看到队伍中的法师被七环延迟爆裂火球炸成了碎片，另外一名战士和游侠则被火巨人轮起的战锤砸成肉饼。
牧师在死灵系魔法的作用下当场暴毙，连一个神术都没能施展出来。
在疯法师的面前，我们脆弱的就如同一群刚刚出生的婴儿毫无抵抗之力。”
在说这番话的时候，女人眼神中透露出强烈的恐惧，浑身上下不受控制的轻微颤抖。
对于大多数被外界称之为精英的冒险小队来说，像海拉斯特·黑袍这样的传奇法师本质上跟神明无异，都是绝对不可战胜的对象。
更何况这里是地脉迷城，疯法师还是主场作战。
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 ostentatious 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 to 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 axe 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 axe 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 flayer 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, werewolf 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 appear behind the enemy and launch a fatal blow.
Relying on this tactic of using undead cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attention head-on while launching shameless sneak 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.
