The "telepathy" of the illithid is a supernatural ability, and the suppression of the "shadow shield" is completely ineffective against this ability.

However, such as "Psychic Blast" and "Psychic Power", as well as various spell abilities obtained by "Psychic Power", these are basically spell-like abilities and are suppressed by the "Shadow Shield".

In addition, the professional advancement of illithids is basically focused on mages and warlocks. Therefore, the profession is also suppressed and weakened by the "shadow shield"...

Without thinking too much, it can be determined that under the "shadow shield" environment, the importance of illithid monsters is obviously incomparable to that of beholders to the phaerim.

But even so...

According to Ai Lilin, the exit of this secret passage is only connected to the edge of the sewer system.

In such an area, there can be illithid monsters entrenched...

"Felin Mo Kui's side is indeed well prepared!"

This is not surprising. With the ability of those giants of magic sunflowers, they can naturally sense that the "shadow shield" is coming to an end.

So, is it possible that there is no preparation?

While the beholder still maintains sufficient and complete power, the illithid's strength is greatly weakened due to the suppression of the "shadow shield".

It naturally makes sense to leave the beholders to protect themselves and send the illithids everywhere to control the monster army and warn against the intrusion of elves and ghosts.

As for whether the illithids can control the monster army, and whether they can control it well...

Isaac still holds a positive attitude towards this.

The fundamental reason why the "shadow shield" suppresses magic is that it hinders access to the essence of magic.

However, hindrance is not a blockage after all, nor is it a rupture.

This means that although the illithid's psychic spells may fail to be cast, the success rate of failure is still quite high.

However, consider the illithid's psychic abilities to be similar to spell-like abilities that can be cast at will.

If you use it a few times, you will always have success.

This is much more reliable than a normal mage. Every time a magic is cast, regardless of success or failure, the preparations on the spell slot are inevitably consumed!

With this alone, Isaac was unaware that the illithid would be unable to control the monster army.

"so……"

"On the other hand, Felin Mokui knows that Efraska will definitely have an offensive, so he has been prepared and prepared for it."

"On the other side, Efraska also knows that the Felin Demon Kui must have been waiting for them, so they want to capture a few strongholds in the city first."

"And Aililin's reconnaissance is to rule out whether the stronghold they plan to capture contains any traps of Felin Demon Kui..."

While these thoughts flashed through my mind.

Another strange color flickered in Isaac's eyes.

Judging from his understanding and research on the "Shadow Shield", at least, at the level he is currently exposed to, it is certainly extremely powerful and more incredible than most mysterious barriers, but...

But if this is the case, this should not be enough to seal many Felin Demon Sunflowers, especially those Demon Sunflower Leaders, under the barrier. Even for such a long time, they cannot break free, and even at this juncture, they still can't break free. He must huddle underground and guard against deadlocks. He obviously wants to wait until the "shadow shield" dissipates on its own!

"Such a method is even more incredible than the 'Mirror of Silinxi' that sealed Hell Gate Castle!"

"Telamante this is..."

"Could it be that you borrowed that lady's power?"

There was both curiosity and hesitation in Isaac's eyes.

After thinking and thinking, he finally considered the "Ms. of the Night".

Although Telamante is powerful, and those ghost princes cannot be underestimated, and he has the help of the ghosts, he is still a little optimistic. Only in this way, Telamante can defeat the tribe of Felin Demon Kui. , sealed to such an extent!

From Isaac's perspective, the best explanation for such a seal is the interference of the gods!

And standing behind Telamant, standing behind the City of Ghosts, apart from that lady, there could be no one else!

Moreover, from the lady's point of view, if sealing the Felin Demon Kui can eventually drag the chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic into it, this would be a reason to interfere!

Of course, divine interference is divine interference, considering the current environmental restrictions...

"The lady's interference is, at most, allowing Telamante to borrow his divine power!"

"As for how to borrow it and how to further shape it, this should be realized by Telamante through rituals and legendary spells!"

Of course, this is just speculation!

What the truth is, will not be finally determined until the actual contact with the sealed Felin Demon Kui.

Before that...

"No matter how Telamante achieves it, just because he can imprison this group of Felin Demon Kui, it is necessary to cooperate with Kelben's actions!"

With a flash of his eyes, Isaac once again confirmed this idea in his mind.

And that's it.

Aililin, who was still leading the team forward, seemed to have something confirmed.

Then, she silently gestured to the people behind her.

The steps did not stop, and even returned to normal strength.

The four "lizard men" were marching at the same time, but the sound of their footsteps made a faint echo in the claustrophobic environment of the sewer.

Just like that, there were also some footsteps coming from the front.

After continuing to move forward for dozens of steps, Aililin and the others approached a fork in the road ahead.

"Illithid!"

Even though Danilo and Iles had suspicions in their hearts, the first moment they looked over there, their eyes narrowed.

The terrain ahead is a three-way road.

Moreover, because they all have sewage rivers, there are three bridge structures at the intersection, and they are all connected to a large round platform at the intersection of the sewage rivers.

It is somewhat different from the overall darkness of the sewer.

On the other side of the round platform, there are several torches stuck on the wall.

It is these torchlights.

Danilo and Iles's eyes only glanced at each other, and they could see clearly.

On the round platform, protected closely by these bugbears, a figure in a purple robe raised his sharp claws, seeming to be engraving something on the stone wall behind the round platform.

Although this purple-robed figure has his back to this side, but...

With just one glance, Danilo and the others were immediately sure that this was...an octopus head!

With the octopus head's psychic powers and powerful perception, as long as they are close to the past, it is difficult to hide their transformation skills!

At the same time, with the octopus head's willpower, their charm and suggestion techniques, I'm afraid it will be equally difficult to control it!

However, at the edge of the sewer system, they must either turn back and make a big circle, otherwise, the intersection ahead is the only way to go.

Due to time constraints, it is obviously unrealistic to go around in a big circle at the moment. Moreover, even if we go around, we may not encounter the same thing over there!

so……

With a brief frown in their hearts, Danilo and the other two realized that Arilyn was still moving forward steadily.

Although she wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible and avoid accidents, but if it was unavoidable... Eileen would not hesitate at all!

After working with Aililyn for a long time, even without any verbal communication, Danilo and the three of them were able to understand this decision tacitly.

And with such decisiveness...

An illithid!

A team of seven or eight bugbears!

Another team also has seven or eight gray dwarves!

Plus the lizardmen on the periphery!

Most importantly, it is not yet certain whether there is a team of monsters on the two forked roads nearby. Once a fierce battle breaks out, whether it will cause an immediate reaction and then a chain reaction...

After a few glances and a brief thought, Danilo suddenly fell half a step behind Eles and Otis, and said in a very low voice: "Uncle Lei, you control the right side and leave it to the left. us!"

He was constantly "seeing through the invisible", but he knew that not only Uncle Lei was always following behind him, but so was the Yinhun Mage.

And since the Ghost Mage was here, and at this moment when he was about to fight a fierce battle with the monster...it was naturally difficult for Danilo to say some words clearly.

After all, since Uncle Lei participated in this operation as a priest at this time, he naturally had the purpose of not wanting the ghosts to discover his identity.

In this way, it was not good for him. He directly asked Uncle Lei to cut off all the hidden dangers on the left and right routes.

"Um!"

Isaac's voice then rang in his ears.

Danilo heard the sound and quickened his pace a few times. When he caught up with Arilyn again, he leaned slightly and said, "To our left!"

There was no beginning or end, but with this sentence, Aililin already knew what he meant.

Nodding slightly, she did not speak, but her eyes focused on the left side of the round platform.

At this time, the illithid seemed to be creating something. The surrounding monsters did not dare to disturb it at all, not to say anything, and even their steps were deliberately gentle.

This is also a good thing.

The four of them, Eileen, had been close to the stone platform, and had crossed paths with the patrolling lizard men several times. However, at most they only nodded to each other, and no one came to inquire about their identities.

"The art of runes!"

"It seems...to dominate humans!"

Isaac's eyes were already sizing up the creation of the illithids.

This evil monster should be making magic runes.

However, his "magic runes" are not made in a normal way.

Isaac clearly understood that this illithid's "human domination" spell should be a "psionic power" unique to his race!

He had the "psionic power" of induction from a long time ago, which is exactly what it came from.

Although under the suppression of the "shadow shield", most of the "psychic powers" have failed, but this does not prevent the illithid from using it continuously to complete the creation needs of the runes.

This is why Isaac believes that this is an abnormal approach.

Psionics, which are spell-like abilities.

Normal rune production requires real spells.

The difference between the two is still obvious.

However, this is only one side. More importantly, Isaac also saw another side.

"This rune technology..."

"It's not like an elf or a dwarf. It's also different from ordinary magic runes. It seems like..."

"Is it related to the deep underdark, or to those aboleths in the depths of the ocean?"

Although Isaac has never seen the unique runes of the Aboleth with his own eyes, it is naturally impossible for him to know nothing about it due to his knowledge.

The "controlling humans" rune that the illithid is trying to create is clearly a bit like the aboleth's creation style.

And to be able to try such creations under the "shadow shield"...

Whether it is stable or not, let’s not talk about it for now, but there is no doubt that this illithid is still somewhat capable!

"Um?"

And it was Isaac who was observing the rune technology of the illithids.

After Eileen and the others approached the bridge, they saw the illithids, but they seemed to have no reaction and were still busy with their own affairs.

Quickly, the four of them moved to the passage on the right without saying a word.

But it was they who tried to leave without a fight...

Suddenly, something seemed to be wrong. An invisible wave spread from the illithid, which still had its back to everyone.

Supernatural ability - telepathy!

"Do it!"

And it was the first moment when this mental fluctuation spread out.

Ai Lin's scolding sound sounded.

Both she and Danilo were too familiar with "telepathy".

Uncle Elis's inherited moon blade has the ability to create a "network of spiritual connections"!

Since the illithid released this ability at this time, there is no doubt that there is some suspicion.

And since there is doubt...

Arilyn had absolutely no confidence that their transformation would be able to hide from the illithid's detection!

so……

If you strike first, you will be stronger, if you strike later, you will suffer disaster!

The illithid made a strange move, and without any hesitation, Ai Lin's figure flew out.

Even more, while the body was still in mid-air, the divine technique that had been prepared for a long time was released immediately.

"Silence!"

Completely ignoring the monster army around the stone platform, she saw that as soon as Arilin raised her finger, a dead area of ​​silence that swallowed up the sound waves completely sealed the tunnel on the left...

"That's really decisive!"

Isaac narrowed his eyes, but there was no slowness at all.

He waved the hammer in his hand, raised it again, and pointed at the fork on the right.

"Silence!"

Suddenly, the same "dead silence" area quickly formed.

"Fireball!"

"Fireball!"

"Fireball!"

Danilo and the three of them have no intention of acting in the same way at this time.

The three people who directly gave up "hints" and "temptations" raised their hands one after another.

Suddenly, they were all blazing fire beads.

Fireball, three consecutive shots!

More, chasing after Ai Lilin!
