One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 249 Powerful Spiritual Ability

"My God! This thing is more disgusting and uncomfortable than the maggots in the cesspit." The half-orc Rhett commented with his mouth twitching.

He has also seen quite a few monsters, including scavengers and dung monsters, which feed on the rotting corpses and excrement of other creatures.

But compared to the mind-snatching giant in front of him, it is nothing short of a big deal.

Because what the mind-snapping giant worm brought was not only physical disgust, but also mental discomfort that could not be described in words.

Especially the psychic energy that is vaguely filled with the surrounding environment, like extremely sharp needles.

When someone approaches, you will immediately feel that your brain has been stabbed hard by thousands of needles.

That intense sting is even more unbearable than any kind of physical torture.

Even the unconscious release of psychic powers can cause such a result, one can imagine how terrible it would be if the mind flicker giant used this power to attack.

Ordinary people can't even feel the pain, and instantly lose consciousness and thinking and become an idiot.

In addition, the mucus covered on the surface of the giant worm's skin also gave off a pungent stench.

Although it is not poisonous, if it is rubbed on the face or body, it will make people vomit.

"It seems that the attack of the githyanki gave these mind flayers a strong sense of crisis, and they had to use this taboo method to fight back.

Not surprisingly, they bred multi-mind flayers to throw them on the upper floor to create chaos, minimize the number of githyanki, and make it impossible for them to raise and train their offspring with peace of mind.

In a confined and narrow space, the damage caused by a giant mind-fleeing worm is far more terrifying than that of a giant dragon.

Be careful, once the battle begins, the psionic attacks released by the giant worms may alarm other mind flayers on this floor at any time. "

Zuo Si reminded everyone in the team with a serious tone.

Although so far, he has not met a powerful user of psychic power, let alone the difference between developing psychic power to the extreme and magic and divine arts.

But what is certain is that the leader who leads this group of mind flayers——Issie Amiton, is definitely an out-and-out spiritual master.

It may even be the kind of top mind destroyer who can transform himself into a mastermind.

In the face of such an enemy, no matter how cautious you are, you cannot be too cautious.

"Could it be that even if we wear the soul protection necklace, we can't resist the psionic attack of this big bug?" the tabby man Abala asked in an uncertain tone.

Zuo Si shook his head lightly: "Sorry, I can't. The main function of the soul protection necklace is to protect your thinking and consciousness from being invaded by the mind, and it cannot be completely immune to the spiritual attacks of mind piercing and psychic crushing.

In fact, no matter if it was magic or divine spells, there were no special targeted protection spells for mind attacks.

If any of you are attacked by mind piercing or psychic crushing later, be sure to back off immediately and drink the healing potion.

That is the only means of avoiding death.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you die accidentally, anyway, I will resurrect you after the battle. "

"Hahahaha! That sounds really reassuring." Korgan couldn't help grinning.

Because in this way, he can fight without any scruples and no fear of death, which makes his bloodthirsty desire unprecedentedly high.

As for Alaina, who is the follower of the planeswalker, she doesn't show any fear at all, and is ready to pour out her amazingly powerful flame magic crazily.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zuo Si made an offensive gesture to the undead lieutenant beside him without saying a word.

Following the latter's order, the vast number of goblin werewolf zombies first raised their crossbows and javelins, and launched a round of long-range attacks aimed at the giant mind-trapping worm not far away.

moment!

Countless arrows and javelins covered the positions occupied by giant worms like raindrops.

Although most of it was due to the mucus covering the body surface and the tough outer skin, it failed to cause any effective killing.

But a small part was successfully inserted into the muscle, and blood gushed out along the bloodletting groove.

Since undead creatures are completely immune to all telepathy, the multi-minded giant worm without eyes has no idea who is attacking itself.

The severe pain made it plunge into rage and madness on the spot, and when he raised his head, he released a blast of spiritual energy.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Accompanied by an invisible force invisible to the naked eye, the undead within a radius of tens of meters around the giant worm suddenly flew up in an instant, and then were torn to pieces in mid-air.

Obviously, in front of creatures of this level, the number has long been meaningless.

But the low-level undead without wisdom don't know what fear is at all, and they still rush up like a tide under the command of the undead lieutenant, waving the weapon in their hands to cut the skin, or using sharp claws and teeth to bite.

After a while, the body of the multi-hearted giant worm was densely covered.

Although compared to giant worms, they are like tiny ants eating elephants, at best they can only cause a little bit of insignificant skin trauma.

But the accumulation of so many skin traumas also made the mind-fleeing giant worm become more irritable.

It twisted its body crazily, and with its unbelievable terrifying power, crushed or threw out the undead hanging on its body one by one.

Often a big cleave can kill dozens of goblin werewolf zombies.

It took less than five minutes for the summoned army of undead to lose more than half of the speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Si immediately realized that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise the cannon fodder would be cleaned up by the mind-flayering giant worm in a short time.

So he resolutely began to enter a state of concentration and chanted spells in a low voice.

After a while, a big hand made of a force field appeared out of thin air, grabbed the giant worm's head, pressed it hard on the ground and squeezed it.

No matter how the giant worm struggled and swung its body desperately, it couldn't break free.

Obviously, this is the [Bigby Shattering Palm] with the strongest control in the nine-ring arcane arts.

It can not only provide cover for the caster, but also push or squeeze the caster's enemies, which belongs to the kind of magic that integrates offense and defense.

Even if it is a titan or a giant dragon, once it is captured by [Bigby Crush Palm], there is absolutely no possibility of breaking free.

After all, the essence of this spell is a force field, and the friction will not be reduced by the smooth slime on the body of the mind flicker giant worm.

In other words, the force field and the object are not affected by friction at all.

"Now! Go! Get rid of it!"

Zuo Si gave the order to attack without hesitation.

Alena, the pyromancer who couldn't bear it any longer, raised her hand and created a wall of fire, bringing most of the giant worm's body into the grilling range.

For a huge creature, a large-scale killing spell like the wall of fire can often cause very amazing damage.

Immediately afterwards, she cast the six-ring evocation magic [Fire Spider], instantly creating a large pile of small fire elements to pounce on the giant worm.

Obviously, compared with the painless skin trauma of the goblin werewolf zombie before, the pain caused by this high-temperature flame is definitely more than ten times as much as the former.

Therefore, the giant mind-fleeing worm immediately locked on the caster, and suddenly released a mind piercing.

Before anyone could react to what happened, Alena screamed and fell to the ground on her back, holding her hair tightly with both hands, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

A lot of blood flowed from the corners of the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, which looked very scary.

"Quick! Drink this!"

The half-orc Rhett hurriedly took out a bottle of powerful healing potion, opened his mouth and poured it into the pyromancer, barely saving his life.

However, it is not difficult to see from that slow reaction that she has completely lost her fighting power.

At least for a few hours or even a few days, it is impossible to enter the state of concentration in casting spells.

"Damn! The psychic attack of this thing is too scary."

Korgan, who was just about to rush up to melee with an axe, saw Alena's fate, and a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

Because psychic attacks are too hidden, there is no bright and dazzling light like magic, nor can they be defended by parrying and blocking like swords.

By the time a person realizes that he has been attacked by psychic powers, it is often too late.

Fortunately, everyone in the team is currently wearing a targeted protective necklace, otherwise, they may all become slaves controlled by the mind-fleeing giant worm, or its next meal.

Zuo Si didn't pay too much attention to the hesitation of the soldiers.

He understood that it would be difficult for Korgan, Rhett, and Abala to deal with a behemoth that was thirty to forty meters long and could easily knock a person into the air when it rolled.

Not to mention the psychic piercing and psychic crushing of the mind grabber.

So after the effect of [Bigby Crush Palm] ended, Zuo Si resolutely added an eight-ring [Burning Cloud Technique].

Along with the red high-temperature flames enveloping the huge body of the giant worm like a storm, the smell of meat mixed with the stench soon spread in the air.

"Hisss!!!!"

Since the giant mind-snapping worm has no organs, no matter how painful it is, it can only make a slight sound through the friction of its teeth and hands.

When it realized who was the most threatening enemy to itself, it immediately locked Zuo Si's position through psychic abilities.

next second...

Zuo Si felt a powerful force impacting the brain and thinking, as if to erase all his memory and personality.

There is no doubt that this is another special ability of the giant worm - [spiritual crushing].

If the crushed target's willpower is not strong enough, they will turn into a vegetable in minutes, and then fall unconscious on the ground.

Except for wishing, there is no other magic and divine spell that can restore such a terrible and weird injury.

But Zuo Si has divine power and spark protection, so [Psychic Crushing] only made him feel strongly nauseated, and couldn't help but vomit out all the food left in his stomach together with bile.

"Damn!"

Although he had long expected that the psychic powers of the mind-snapping giant worm would be very difficult to do, he never expected that even he would not be exempt.

You must know that he has divine power in his body!

The most typical characteristic of divine power is that it can provide the owner with a series of immune characteristics and powerful spell resistance.

But even so, in the face of the giant worm's powerful psychic ability, it will still be tricked.

No wonder mind flayers have considerable power, even across the entire multiverse.

Compared with magic and divine spells, the extremely idealistic power of psychic powers is a bit too weird, and mental damage is completely different from energy damage, physical damage, and soul damage.

Just as Zuo Si vomited, the giant mind-snapping worm quickly made a way out of the undead army, and rushed over from a distance at an extremely fast speed, obviously planning to feel the enemy that threatened him the most first.

When Rhett saw this, he didn't even hesitate for a second, and immediately turned on violently, swung the heavy and sharp two-handed axe, rushed up to the depths, jumped high, and slashed down on the giant worm's head.

Unfortunately, before it started to fall, an astonishing spiritual impact hit his chest directly.

boom!

The half-orc warrior couldn't even get close, so he flew out sideways and slammed into the wall behind him.

However, taking advantage of the moment when the giant worm attacked Rhett, Korgan and Abala took advantage of the gap to get close.

The latter first threw a sharp enchanted javelin, deeply inserted it near the head of the giant worm, then jumped up like a ferocious big cat, grabbed the javelin and stirred it with all its strength, trying to get as far as possible in this way. The enlarged wound caused severe bleeding.

It is not difficult to judge from this hand alone, the tabby man has definitely hunted beasts or monsters much larger than himself more than once before, knowing that such a huge creature cannot be killed in one blow, so he decisively chose the bloodletting tactic .

In contrast, old Korgan was as simple and rude as ever, wielding two one-handed axes to activate his berserk ability, his whole body was like a meat grinder, tearing off the tough outer skin of the giant worm in just a few seconds, revealing There is a large piece of dark purple flesh and blood inside.

If it was an ordinary monster, even if it survived the joint attack of these two elite fighters, it would still be severely injured.

But it's a pity that the mind-fleeing giant worm is not an ordinary monster.

In essence, it is a mind flayer tadpole that has broken through its own physiological limits. Its body structure is very primitive and simple, just like an earthworm.

Even if it is cut in two from the middle, it will not die, but may split into two giant worms.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!"

Seeing that the giant worm's body had been hacked to pieces by himself and still had no intention of dying at all, old Korgan went completely mad, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, and his stubby arms swung like windmills.

But only a second later, a psychic piercing hit him instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the old dwarf fell to the ground with a scream, even threw away the ax in his hand, and crazily hit his head on the ground to vent his pain.

Fortunately, the helmet blocked most of the damage, otherwise his head would probably have been smashed to pieces.

Aware of the danger, Abala the tabby cat immediately let go of the javelin in his hand and jumped deep into the nearby rocks to hide.

Since the [Thor Stone Walk] on its body has not expired, it can still move freely in the rock.

However, the mind-snapping giant obviously didn't care about just a single soldier, but instead focused all its attention on Zuo Si, and directly opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards him.

But soon, the behemoth realized what a mistake he had made.

When the big mouth full of stench moved closer, a dazzling silver flame suddenly shot out from Zuo Si's body.

There is no doubt that this is the silver fire that the goddess of magic bestows on her chosen ones. It is not only the embodiment of her divine power, but also the most essential and rooted energy deep in the magic net.

As for the flame, it is just an external form of expression.

Although the giant mind-splitting worm had no eyes, it undoubtedly sensed a dangerous aura through telepathy, and immediately stopped, trying to use the tentacles near its mouth to test what was going on in front of it.

The moment the tentacles collide with the silver fire!

The terrifying energy erupted in an instant, directly burning all the tentacles into scorched black, and at the same time, there was a crackling sound like lightning.

You must know that the tentacles of mind flayers and mind flayer tadpoles are the most important organs they use to perceive the outside world, none of them.

Therefore, it is densely covered with sensitive nerves.

So the pain caused by this blow immediately made the giant worm uncontrollably twist its body wildly, releasing a violent mind piercing.

With strong physique attributes, Zuo Si endured the blow abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, he shaped the silver fire into the shape of a long spear, aimed at the giant worm's big mouth, and poked it down with lightning speed.

I saw a dazzling silver-white flame flashing in the darkness, and then the whole mind-fleeing giant worm sent out a violent spiritual impact around itself, crushing the last remaining undead.

The frenzied silver fire completely cooked this behemoth in less than a second.

"Phew - it's finally done."

Seeing the corpse of the bug close at hand, Zuo Si cleared the blood near his mouth and nose, and quickly released two healing spells on himself.

Although strictly speaking, the mind-snapping giant worm was far from enough to threaten his life, but it was still a little dangerous.

After all, with such a large size and the psionic energy accumulated by feeding the brains of intelligent creatures for a long time, it is itself a very difficult monster to deal with.

"You... you actually killed a giant mind-fleeing worm?!!"

Assasra, who hadn't participated in the battle the whole time, finally came out from hiding in an inconspicuous corner, exclaiming in a slightly trembling voice.

She couldn't believe that there was really someone in this world who could kill this terrifying monster that only existed in legends.

Don't say kill it!

Even those who have seen the mind flayer and survived the adventure are rare, and they can brag about the experience in taverns and inns and regard it as a kind of glory.

"Yeah, I've put in a lot of work."

Zuo Si put away the silver fire and walked closer, raised his wand and cut open the corpse of the giant worm, observing the internal structure with great interest, especially the brain that can generate psychic energy.

Contrary to what most people think, the brain of this thing is not very huge, but looks no different from ordinary mind flayers.

The only difference is that its density is very high, showing a spiral of high and low valleys.

It's a pity that most of the cells have been cooked by the silver fire, so they have completely lost their activity and have no research value.

Watching Zuo Si skillfully dissect the corpse of a giant worm and take out one key organ after another, Assasla only felt his scalp go numb.

She felt that she must have been petrified for too long, so she couldn't keep up with the current changes in the world.

After a general understanding of the physiological structure of the mind-snapping giant worm, Zuo Si immediately pulled up several subordinates and teammates who were lying on the ground one by one, and healed the injured with magic.

However, judging from the reactions of Alena, Korgan, and Rhett, it is impossible for them to regain consciousness for a while.

After all, mind attacks are more dangerous than charm control spells, and the damage to the brain and nerves is also more serious, at least you have to lie down for hours or even days.

Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to return to the star port first, and then open the portal to send the three of them back to the mage tower to rest, several portals suddenly appeared out of thin air.

After a while, more than a dozen mind flayers walked out from the other side, and there were even taller and stronger mind flayers.

You don't need to ask, they all felt the spiritual power released by the mind-snapping giant worm in the battle just now, so they rushed over to check what happened.

After all, the giant mind-fleeing worm is a secret weapon specially cultivated to deal with the Githyanki.

When the headed Mind Destroyer saw the giant worm that had been dismantled into pieces and turned into "parts", he immediately became furious, and roared through the telepathic connection: "You are dead! Human! I will dig out your brain and clean it up." Taste it."

"If you can do it, then come and try."

Zuo Si pursed her lips and showed a chilling smile.

There was no nonsense between the two sides, and there was no need for any communication. From the moment they confirmed that they were enemies, they had already decided not to die.

As the mind flayers took the lead in throwing Mind Blast collectively, another fierce battle began.

However, compared to giant worms, mind flayers are obviously not that difficult to deal with.

At least in Zuo Si's eyes, killing an ordinary mind flayer was not fundamentally different from crushing an ant.

Often, these extremely uncomfortable octopus heads can be killed with a killing spell or a compound spell invented by oneself.

If some guy buffs himself with protective spells or has a higher magic resistance and survives for a while, then make another shot.

Without the need to chant spells and cast spells, Zuo Si managed to take down six regular mind flayers while the lead mind flayer was just beginning to distort reality with psychic abilities.

The tabby people who hid in the rock wall before also jumped out suddenly and attacked from behind, successfully killing two of them.

One of them had his throat severed by sharp claws, and the other died instantly when his head was pierced by a sharp javelin.

As for Azasla, who is a descendant of the dragon, he was controlled by the opponent's mind after meeting him, and joined the ranks of attacking Zuo Si.

no way!

It's not uncommon for something like this to happen when fighting creatures with charm spells and psionic powers.

The only good thing is that Azasla's original equipment was looted by Korgan, so she only has an ordinary long sword on her body, which can't cause any effective damage at all.

Zuo Si only used [Bigby Hitting Flying Palm] to press him against the wall beside him, unable to move.

Warriors who lost their powerful magic weapons and equipment were so pathetic that they couldn't pose even the slightest threat to high-level spellcasters.

Zuo Si didn't even bother to help the dragonborn get in touch with the controlled state, and directly teamed up with the tabby to clean up the ordinary mind flayer as quickly as possible.

Since they are completely immune to mind intrusion and charm control, most low-level mind flayers who only rely on their natural abilities to make ends meet have no good way to deal with him.

It died cleanly in about a few minutes.

But the leader, Mind Destroyer, is obviously not so easy to deal with.

This guy is obviously a very high-level psion, and he can even speed up his own time flow to achieve unexpected sneak attack effects.

In addition, he tried more than once to occupy Zuo Si's body and replace it.

This is a very advanced psionic power, only possible for the most powerful psions.

By constantly replacing young bodies, psions can even achieve immortality and immortality.

It's a pity that Zuo Si has divine protection in his body, so this kind of attempt is doomed to be impossible to succeed.

Mind Destroyer soon discovered this, and quickly changed his tactical thinking, and began to use some force fields, energy, or occasional harmful spells to attack, or he wanted to draw Zuo Si's consciousness closer to the illusion he created and lock him up .

With powerful psychic powers, he finally seized an opportunity to instantly drag his consciousness into a virtual world maintained entirely by spirits.

Zuo Si himself didn't even notice anything at all, just felt a trance for a while, and then found that his eyes went dark and he lost the perception of the outside world.

But at the last moment, he still managed to release the silver fire to wrap his body.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours...

In short, when he regained consciousness again, he found that the surrounding environment had changed from the seventeenth floor of Leyline Lost City to the Yawning Gate Tavern in Waterdeep City.

"Ah! You're finally awake!" The tavern owner Dunan came from a distance and greeted with a smile. "You are really lucky. It is the first time in my life that I have come back alive after suffering such a serious injury."

"Injuried?"

Zuo Si frowned subconsciously, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Because his memory is not the same as that of ordinary people, he can remember every moment and detail he has experienced, and he is very clear that he is fighting a powerful mind-destroying leader at the last moment.

"Yes! Not only you, but also your teammates. I hired a priest for you."

As he spoke, Dunan turned his gaze to the bar hall in Waiman.

The dwarf Korgan was sitting on the bar, drinking the most expensive spirits, bragging about his adventure career with other adventurers.

Sitting next to him was the half-orc Rhett, who was boldly biting the leg of lamb roasted to golden brown.

Alaina, as always, was drinking like hell, and from time to time, she would use magic tricks to make bright and dazzling fireworks to make a group of halflings and dwarves laugh.

Abala the tabby cat sits alone in an inconspicuous corner, enjoying his favorite fresh meat and fresh fish.

It seems that everything looks so warm and beautiful.

But Zuo Si keenly found that the scene he saw was very unreal.

One of the most glaring loopholes is Alena.

As the summoned creature and entourage of the planeswalker, although she herself is an out-and-out "funny" and "fun person".

But like other summoned creatures, they are loyal and loyal, and they will never only care about their own enjoyment when the master loses consciousness, but will wait by the side until the planeswalker wakes up.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si quietly got up from the bed and walked out.

Dunan didn't stop him, but went back to the bar and poured a glass of wine in front of him, and said with a smile, "I'll take this one. I respect the hero who returned from the Lost Land Leyline."

"thanks……"

Staring at the Amber-colored alcoholic drink in front of her, a sneer flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, and she was sure that the Dunant in front of her was definitely a fake.

Because the real owner of the Yawning Gate Tavern knows that he will never drink any alcohol, and will only provide clean water, or a cup of boiled hot milk.

However, Zuo Si was not in a hurry to expose the other party, but started to hang out in the tavern on his own, communicating with different people.

In about ten minutes, he discovered that although the smell, atmosphere, and feeling of the real Yawn's Gate Tavern in Waterdeep City were exactly the same, there were still many hidden loopholes.

For example, some decorations and decorations on the door and windows that are often overlooked are different from the real Yawn's Gate Tavern;

Another example is that about one-third of the guys dressed as adventurers are very similar to their own situation. They also lost consciousness inexplicably during the battle with the mind flayer, and when they woke up, they found themselves back in the tavern.

Finally, and the most deadly point, those books placed on the bookshelves for guests to entertain and entertain, except for the cover, when you open the inside, you will find that they are all blank, without even a single word or symbol.

And whenever Zuo Si approaches the gate and wants to go out, he is basically either interrupted by other adventurers who come over suddenly, or the weather outside will become very bad.

If it happened once or twice, it is understandable, but if it happens seven or eight times in a row, it can be concluded that there is definitely a problem here.

In addition, Zuo Si also found that he was not the only one who encountered a similar situation, but the explanation given by the tavern owner Dunan in private was different. Sometimes he said it was because the whole city was being blocked, and sometimes he said it was a celebration some holiday.

If someone wants to go under the shaft and continue to explore the maze above, he will claim that the mad mage Helast Black Robe has magically sealed the dungeon.

Anyway, there is only one motive behind all these lies, and that is to firmly control everyone inside the tavern.

"A virtual world created by powerful spiritual power? Interesting..."

A meaningful expression appeared on Zuo Si's face.

He had seen a book in Candlekeep's library before, which recorded that the mind flayer's mastermind could create a virtual world made of spirits and pull the consciousness of all slaves into it.

Although in the real world, they have to work tirelessly every day, maybe they will become the rations of a mind flayer.

But in the virtual world, enslaved creatures often live the life they dream of, and even meet beautiful opposite sexes in different ways every day, and some indescribable things happen.

There is no doubt that mind flayers use this method to disintegrate the resistance of slavery.

It's just that what Zuo Si didn't expect was that the leader of the Mind Destroyer could do this by himself.

And this just proved that he must be the kind of psionic master with the ability to transform himself into a mastermind.

The establishment of every mind flayer community or city means that a mind flayer who stands at the apex of the evolution of the group gives up his body and contributes his brain.

Then, after a series of complex psychic rituals and technological transformations, this brain will become the original core of the Mastermind.

Followed by more than 20 mind flayers, they will also give up their lives to contribute their own brains, and will eventually form an extremely powerful master brain.

After figuring out the truth, Zuo Si didn't stop for a second, and directly began to constantly question the authenticity of the surrounding environment through her firm will.

In just a few minutes or so, he successfully got rid of the shackles of the environment and allowed his consciousness to return to his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still standing on the seventeenth floor of the dark and humid Leyline Lost City - the deep sea, not far from the killed and dissected giant mind-splitting worm.

It's just that the leader of the mind-destroying demon has disappeared.

Obviously, the moment Zuo Si broke free from control, he chose to run away without hesitation.

Not only that, when this guy left, he didn't forget to take Korgan, Alena, Rhett, Azasla, Abala and other prisoners with him.

In addition, the heads of those dead mind flayers were also pried open without exception, and the brains inside were taken away.

"Let me see what kind of secrets you octopus heads are hiding on this floor."

After muttering something in a low voice, Zuo Si quickly blessed himself with a small amount of protective spells, and then quickly walked deeper.

He understood that the mind flayers took the captives for nothing more than two purposes, one was to parasitize the adult tadpoles so as to transform into more mind flayers, and the other was to serve as hostages.

Along the narrower and narrower passage, Zuo Si soon came to the location of the psychic turbine generator.

As expected, the mind flayers used slaves and psionic energy to cast a dam above the water level, and the power of the water flow drove the psionic machinery to generate the energy necessary to maintain the entire community.

Going forward, you can see many spiritual energy warehouses standing vertically.

Out of curiosity, he opened some of them carefully, and found that the people lying inside were basically not captured githyanki, or adventurers who had gone deep into the Leyline Lost City.

Some of them have obviously been parasitized by tadpoles, and their bodies are changing rapidly, which looks creepy.

But Zuo Si, who didn't know much about psionic energy, didn't rashly wake up these poor guys, nor did he move the pipelines connected around the psionic energy warehouse.

Because he knew that the mind flayer's psionic technology was very mature.

If the captive is roughly pulled out of the cabin and awakened in a "physical" way, the biggest possibility is that this guy will go completely crazy or become an unconscious vegetable.

For the same reason, pulling the pipeline directly is the same result.

In this way, Zuo Si basically did not encounter any enemies and resistance all the way forward, and reached the center of the entire seventeenth floor without any effort, and then saw a conch shell ship suspended in mid-air.

It's just that this conch-hull ship seems to have experienced a great battle, and it is densely covered with marks of slashing, smashing and scorching. It is very likely that it was caused by the battle with the Githyanki magic ship.

Below the ship, two brass dragons who were clearly controlled and enslaved were roaring deafeningly at him, the intruder.

Just when Zuo Si was about to deal with the two brass dragons first, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Humans! Stop it. I admit you are powerful, much stronger than any adventurer I've encountered before. So why don't we sit down and talk?"

You don't need to ask to know that the owner of this voice is the leader of the Mind Destroyer you met just now.

"Ha! You kidnapped all my subordinates and companions, and now you say you want to talk?" Zuo Si's tone was full of naked and undisguised mockery.

But Mind Destroyer was not angry, but said calmly: "I assure you, they are safe now and have not suffered any harm. As long as you can reach a consensus with me, then I can return them to you at any time." .”

"In that case, tell me your conditions."

Zuo Si was not in a hurry to attack, but wanted to see what the hell this guy was planning to do.

After all, Leyline Lost City was banned from all teleportation by the mad mage Helast Black Robe, so don't expect to escape even if the opponent has a conch shell ship.

And such a huge target, if he can't activate the astral teleportation, it is just a big target in his eyes.

"My conditions are very simple. First of all, a settlement is reached, and there will be no more hostile behavior between each other. Second, you and your companions must help us destroy the githyanki in the sixteenth floor of the crystal labyrinth, and their Hong Kong's incubation base. In return, I can provide you with a lot of gold, gems and magic items in return."

Mind Destroyer calmly set out his own conditions.

Without the mind-snapping giant worm he had bred with great difficulty, he had already lost his secret weapon against his sworn enemy, the Githyanki, so he had to rely on external forces.

As for the two enslaved brass dragons, they must be the guards of the conch ship.

Otherwise, once this place is attacked, all ambitions and plans will be meaningless.

"Help you deal with the githyanki? You're really crazy!" Zuo Si sarcastically pretended to be disdainful. "Those githyanki are not only well-equipped, but also made a large number of golems as guards, and they also have the help of red dragon allies. Why should I offend another, more powerful enemy for the sake of one enemy?"

moment!

The Mind Destroyer fell silent.

If possible, he now especially wants to sense the other party's thinking through psychic intrusion, find out what the human being in front of him is thinking, and how to make him agree to cooperate with him.

But it's a pity that the barrier formed by divine power blocked all mind detection spells.

Just when the leader of the Mind Destroyer was thinking about how to persuade Zuo Si, the furu cub that had been taken in before flew down from the conch shell ship without a sound.

Due to its small size, it did not attract the attention of Mind Destroyer. It secretly hid behind Zuo Si, and transmitted and shared all the things it saw and heard through telepathy.

After a while, Zuo Si figured out the situation inside the conch ship.

In particular, the huge brain pool that had been built at the core of the ship allowed him to fully understand the plan of Destroying Mind Demon.

There is no doubt that this guy is actively planning to transform himself into a master brain.

It's just that the githyanki on the sixteenth floor kept attacking, so he couldn't put this plan into practice at all.

After all, it takes time to transform, and during this period he will be in a very weak state, there is no way to lead other mind flayers to resist attacks from mortal enemies.

If there is another violent attack like not long ago, then everything that has been built with great difficulty will be wiped out, and maybe he will die unexpectedly.

No githyanki would relinquish the feat and honor of destroying a mastermind.

They can even return to the Star Realm with such merits, and receive honors from Her Majesty the Queen in their lair.

In the same way, Zuo Si also figured out the internal structure of the conch ship and the location of the command room, there is no need to make false claims with the leader of the Mind Destroyer...
