I can't be an NPC

Chapter 349 The Lair
After handing over the psionic system of the mage profession to Helen, Li Wen read Helen's speech again, and then just ran away.

What happened next has nothing to do with him, anyway, he has made it clear to Helen about his request.

In fact, Li Wen is not satisfied with the current psionic energy system. As a brand new power, the way psionic energy affects the world is actually not fundamentally different from spells themselves.

At best, the current efforts are only changing the key attribute of exerting psionic power from charm to magic power, and turning the original personal talent into a practical application method that can be quantified by knowledge.

According to Li Wen's wildest idea, the two special systems of magic and psionic energy should be completely separated.

When casting psychic power, it can suppress the magic elements in the area to prohibit casting spells, and when casting spells, it can prohibit all mental fluctuations in the area.

Masters who practice both psychic power and spells can always bully the opponent and cannot fight back when facing spellcasters or psychic talents.

However, this kind of idea is just a little bit of Li Wen's wild thinking, and there should be no chance to realize this at present.

It didn't take much time for Li Wen to go back and forth. When he returned to the site of the illithid again, Li Wen saw the outrageous figure waiting in front of the hut that the illithid had arranged for him before.

"came back?"

Li Wen, who suddenly appeared from behind, jumped out of shock.

"You... When did you come out, my lord?"

Li Wen didn't answer, just asked.

"Have you found out about the target?"

When it comes to business, he is outrageously proud, "Of course, we have already found out the other party's lair!"

Isn't it just a little fusion of illusion and trap?Can it still stop them from exploring the law with their lives?
Perhaps the mind itself is changeable, but the changing nature of the illusion of reality affected by the mind is hard to change after solidification, even if those aboleths can use their mind power to rewrite and rewrite the rules of change in the long days, that would be impossible. It takes a certain amount of time.

In other words, attacking now, the aboleth lair that has been figured out can't be blocked by everyone.

After handing in the results of their exploration out of the blue, Li Wen nodded after a general inspection.

"Then, let's go!"

[Epic mission - explore the aboleth lair!Task [-] phase completed, task progress updated.Objectives of the current stage: attack the aboleth lair, and assist the illithids to capture at least one aboleth captive! 】

I know that the rewards are not so easy to get, but it is acceptable under the premise that a new skill book is added to the skill book blind box and the probability of getting the new skill book from the first batch of blind boxes is doubled!

Rush!
Ready to go!

Carrying the main brain, the conch ship slowly broke through the water surface and sank into the water. The repulsion of psionic energy maintained the cavity on the deck of the conch ship, forming a space for people to move and breathe.

The dark Bobby stood on the deck, looking curiously at the slowly sinking dark water bottom.

And after their conch-hulled ship, another oval-shaped submarine followed.

Seeing the somewhat crude submarine with various spell runes engraved on its hull, Diablo Bobby licked his lips, his eyes full of interest.

He only knows that the players have completed the mission, but he doesn't know how the players have completed the exploration mission.

Looking at it now, it turned out to be this kind of "high technology"?
Bullfrog bullfrog!

Two ships with different shapes sailed in the dark waters, one after the other. Some fish in the water world followed the ships curiously, trying to see if they could get something to eat from this new thing.

The natural fluorescence emitted by unknown minerals is distorted in the rippling water waves, reflecting a gorgeous light in people's eyes.

As they gradually moved towards a certain direction, the waters above seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and the dark deep water was like a thick sky, pressing heavily on everyone.

It seemed that if one didn't pay attention, he would be instantly crushed into dross under this pressure.

Boundless loneliness and fear linger in everyone's heart, which will not be changed by power.

No wonder there is such a saying as deep-sea phobia. Without the protection of the magic shield, how many tons of seawater will press on the human body, unless it is those physically strong fighters, even legendary mages will not be able to escape... Except for prepared mages.

Dark Bobby looked at it for a while, then lost interest.

The underwater world is dark and deep, and the appearance of some deep-water creatures you encounter becomes more and more weird as you go below, like species from two complete planets.

Quite a bit anyway, no one is watching, just casually long meaning.

But that's about it.

It's no fun, what Dark Poppy is looking forward to is those aboleths who are said to have been born from the beginning of the world and know everything.

"How long will it take to arrive?"

Dark Bobby asked directly in the spiritual network that linked everyone except the player and the illithid.

"Hurry up, we're already driving at full speed."

Looking at the little fish wagging its tail slowly outside the shield, Diablo Bobby raised his eyebrows, "Isn't your full speed too conservative?"

"The underwater world is not safe."

The voice of the Illithid Mastermind sounded dull, "The Kou Tao murlocs dare not enter the deep water at will."

Some creatures on the Gaia Continent have terrifying natural biological levels, and due to environmental factors, underwater wild creatures are often more terrifying than land creatures.

If you mess with them, there is no good fruit to eat.

The group of illithids has been lingering in this world for these years, and the most clear thing is that the water in this world is very deep.

Even a mastermind at the demigod level never feels that he can walk sideways in this world.

Keeping a low profile is the survival rule that every independent group of illithids should learn.

"Oh~"

Hearing the voice of Dark Bobby who didn't have any emotions, the mastermind said again.

"...those aboleths are not easy to provoke."

"Oh~"

"How about we turn back?"

"do not want!"

"Their lairs are scary and changeable. In the eyes of outsiders, they look like normal waters. Even if you pass by close at hand, you may not be able to find the real place where they are hiding. And because of the chaos they emit all year round Distracted thinking, so that a large area near their lair is covered with disordered psionic energy fields, where our perception ability will also be seriously disturbed. To be honest, I am not sure that we can Can't find their real nests."

Dark Bobby squinted his eyes, recalling the information that the players had inquired about in his mind.

"It's a normal-looking bottom water area, a string of continuous underwater rocks, and five half-person-high seaweeds swaying in the water. The entrance is two-fifths of the distance between the rocks and the seaweed."

"Ok?"

"As you go, you will know when you arrive."

When the conch ship plunged headlong into the limited direction according to the instructions of the dark Bobby, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

In an instant, the pure water area that was only dark but still clear turned into a dark gap with an invisible bottom.

The dark perspective effect of magic allows Diablo Bobby to see a certain distance in the dark. The underwater gap in front of him is split into countless smaller forks, and there will be one or two more at every irregular distance. Four or five forked cracks came out.

Like the dense voids in a cake, the endless choices make people fall into endless confusion.

Two lonely ships are suspended between the huge and narrow gap in the abyss, with no support up or down.

"Fuck, it really came in."

The main brain sighed subconsciously, then looked at the silent abyss in front of him, and persuaded again.

"Look, there are so many gaps, and the reality intersects. No one knows whether the selected gap is a dead end, or even how many places in this whole place are illusions, let alone if you search one by one. I have to find out when..."

"Go this way..."

"This..."

"Bump in."

"Ok?"

According to the instructions of Dark Poppy, the conch ship stopped in front of a black cliff that seemed to be covered with unknown aquatic moss.

The player submarine following behind also hovered quietly to a stop.

The players on the boat are nervously calculating the probability.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Is it here?"

"We have collected some experimental data before, and their real entrance is a cloud of probability. Who knows if it is here?"

"Didn't you say you are a professor of mathematics?"

"I'm a professor and I'm not a quantum computer! Fuck!"

"Master Bobby won't let us go to explore the way?"

"They're standing still... I suppose they are."

"Hmm~ wait! They seem to be planning to go directly."

……

"you sure?"

Facing the black cliff in front of him, the master brain of the illithid released his psychic energy, and used his heart to feel whether the wall in the gap in front of him was really just an illusion.

However, the result of the feedback is... no?
Even though the chaotic psionic energy field couldn't suppress its psionic ability, it undoubtedly suppressed its perception ability enormously.

Here, it was supposed to be omnipotent with psychic power, as if it had been deprived of hearing and vision, and became a blind and deaf man.

A person with normal five senses is afraid of falling into such a situation, and it also does not like to be in this situation, which is why it has always resisted coming here.

What it is worried about now is that if this wall is solid, then its own conch ship will collide head-on with this hard rock wall under the pressure of tons of heavy water, and who will be better.

Dark Bobby pointed forward, his eyes frenzied.

"I'm sure, hit me!"

"You have to know that the aboleth's lair is half-truth. Even if you have been here before, the previous entrance does not mean the current entrance. Moreover, they are also masters of spiritual energy. We cannot use spiritual energy to protect the hull , not to mention hesitating and retreating, even if it is the correct passage, it will instantly become a solid wall."

Dark Bobby walked up to the main brain, patted its epidermis, and the waves of flesh rippled out.

"Don't be afraid! Head on the head."

"Hey~"

The mastermind sighed, and ordered: "Big Shell... Bah! Parrot, move forward at full speed!"

The few illithids on the ship looked at the black cliff that was getting closer, and the four tentacles on their chins were entangled stiffly in fear.

"boom!"

The violent shock caused by the imaginary impact did not come, and the conch-hulled ship passed through directly as if it had passed through a layer of paper.

The emerald green fluorescence shone on everyone's face in an instant, and the scene in front of them changed drastically again.

The originally icy and oppressive waters were filled with green light that came from nowhere, and silver threads spread all over everything that could be seen, as if adding a layer of magical light to everything.

What's even more frightening is that the cognition of time and space seems to be completely broken here, and the perception of up, down, left, right, front and back is completely reversed and chaotic.

Dark Bobby casually released a brand new four-ring psionic spell on himself-intelligence fortress.

The power from the spell eased the chaotic sense of time and space, and those magical brilliance completely disappeared from the eyes, revealing the true colors of this water area.

Not far away, three creatures that looked like devil fish with dark blue bodies and two dark blue fluorescent tentacles on their heads were staring at the two ships that broke in suddenly with their evil eyes. hull.

"I really found my old nest!"

The mastermind was amazed at how the dark Bobby's recklessness could actually lead them to find the only correct path.

Since it is really face-to-face, the next thing is its job.

"First of all, block its escape space."

In the face-to-face situation, the mastermind was not worried about not being able to defeat these aboleths.

Their frontal combat capabilities are actually not particularly powerful. Regardless of environmental factors, the individual strength among them is equivalent to that of a third-tier human professional. Of course, this is the lower limit.

The upper limit is a bit high, but it's not too high. At least in the memory of the main brain, he has never heard of an aboleth that has reached the level of advanced legend.

Not all races have the terrifying upper limit of development as humans. In today's god system, some gods are even promoted by humans.

Such creatures were able to control the creatures of the vast lands before the gods intervened, purely by the accumulated pollution of their minds that permeated the environment.

Innately invincible, they only need to accumulate thoughts that pollute them from the beginning of every newborn creature, and they can easily become the masters of all creatures in that dark age.

But now...they face themselves directly, but there is no chance of winning.

As for the hint from the mastermind, Diablo Bobby was not worried either.

He pointed to the oval submarine behind him, "There are also a group of migrant workers here."

"Let them block their escape route, and leave the rest to me."

The main brain was so excited that the gray cerebral cortex was shaking.

It wasn't that it had no interest in the aboleths, it was just that these creatures were too difficult to deal with in their lairs.

And as long as it can break in, to the main brain, it is like a group of turtles without the protection of their shells.

Hang and beat.
