Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

I am the King of the Underworld, Lord of the Underdark, Evil of Evil, Source of Darkness... Gollum...

All intelligent creatures will surrender at my feet, willingly offering their warm and delicious brains, as well as the delicious and attractive spiritual essence contained in them.

Yes, the ant-like drow and humble gnomes call me an illithid, or a mind flayer.

I know, I understand...Gulu...I can clearly hear the desperate cries in their hearts, and feel the trembling and fear deep in their hearts. There is probably nothing in this world that I enjoy more than this ~

It's just that they don't understand how sacred and happy it is to dedicate all of themselves to a higher creature like me... Ah... I actually used the word sacred...

haha~

Ever since I was dispatched to the Stone Forest Devil's Grotto, I feel a lot lighter for some reason—maybe it's because there are our elders here?

Or is it because I have a faint feeling in my heart that there is some deadly danger hidden in that mysterious city in the middle of the lake?

No, I'm not sure.

Our ethnic group is extremely wise, arrogance will not make us live longer, and killing carefully is the best way to consolidate our position, so we came to this stone forest to clear away the remaining resistance forces... ...with fresh brains to eat again...

...What's that in front?

Ah~ Two reckless dark elves, and a dwarf mage... Jie Jie~ Maybe they mistook me for those extremely weak kobolds?Otherwise why are these guys laughing?

gollum...

Come on, it seems like I haven't had a gnome's brains in a while.

***

The so-called ignorant are fearless.It couldn't be more appropriate to describe the army of players in front of us.

The players who swarmed in quickly occupied the entrance of the Stone Forest Devil's Cave, and then swept through the gaps of each stone forest like a torrent, passing through the labyrinth-like winding caves, with momentum like a rainbow, moving forward indomitably.

Got a giant lizard in the way?kill!

There are swarms of giant man-eating rats and mosquitoes the size of vultures?Hacked!

All the monsters blocking the road are paper tigers, and everyone only sees the boss not far ahead, those treasures worth tens or even millions.Some of the more impulsive players rushed to the forefront, and had already started a small-scale conflict with the mind flayers. There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle. These players threw away their first-level experience without any accidents.

But this can't stop the player's footsteps.

When dark and evil mind flayers hold the corpse of a dwarf.When the four tentacles are tightly wrapped around the dwarf's head to suck the brains "ziliuziliu".The large army of players has swarmed out from the gaps in the stone pillars!

No tactics were used, and no one cared what kind of magic the octopus head used. There was a rumbling sound of footsteps, and only one or two corpses left by the players remained in place.And the broken body of the mind flayer—without its tentacles.His robes were also stripped off.

Mind flayers speak from their own personal experience.It showed everyone the unique "full light" technique when killing monsters. It's just that this kind of top mage monster who is notorious in the underdark region ended up being trampled to death by passers-by.

……

Sword Swinging World is a bit painful.

Part of it was because I was in a bad mood.His eyes hurt from the bright light of the torches around him, and he couldn't help crying when he opened his eyes, not to mention the pain.

What's more important is that Jian Dang Tian Tian tried to resist and escape with a few players who were also captured, but was kicked in the crotch by a mind flayer slave, and it still hurts until now.

Now Jian Dang Tian Tian looked at the blank-faced drow next to him, wishing he could immediately go up and poke his chrysanthemum a few times—with his own two-handed axe.

But turning his head slightly, Jian Dang Tian Xia saw the two corpses in front of him on the right, and his restless mood calmed down again.

Several people suddenly became violent just now, one of the mages threw a scroll of silence, and the others rushed towards the mind flayer closest to them - kicking, biting, spitting...

Of course, this is all to divert attention. What they really rely on is the two poisonous heart vine roots that secretly broke away from their bodies. Devil!

This plan is a bit risky, but it is not an option, after all, you can't just sit here and wait to die.Moreover, although the players are trapped, it does not prevent them from forming a team to secretly communicate with each other. The few of them have a tacit understanding.

But that's all it takes.

The mind flayer had a mind blast, and all seven of them were wiped out...and the two players who broke free from the shackles were killed directly. There was still a horrible blood hole on the face of the corpse, and Jian Dang Tianxia kept frowning as he saw it.

"The plan was successful, and there should be no fewer than 3000 players flooding in."

"We will lead people to take them to the place where the big boss was captured, you are ready!"

……

At this time, on the virtual light screen in front of Jian Dang Tian Tian, ​​lines of words reporting the results of the actions flowed slowly, which calmed the Dark Knight's heart a little.

This rumor spread much faster than I imagined...but it's not a bad thing~ Jiandang Tiantian thought so.

In fact, more than half of the credit here should be attributed to Fang Yi, because Fang Yi has more bad things in his heart than ordinary people, and spreading rumors is also a basic skill in the world. Whether it is finding reasons or making up stories, the news that Fang Yi sends out His credibility is much higher than that of the thieves of the Trinity Alliance.

"Are we going to die?"

Jian Er Thirteen was thinking for a while how to deal with the army of players, when he heard Atona behind her murmur, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that I dragged you down..."

Looking back at the other party, Jian Er Thirteen felt slightly relieved. The fighting female sword master just now was very tough. Fortunately, those mind flayers didn't kill Atona, otherwise this trip would have been in vain.

"Don't worry, it's not that easy to want to die." Jian Dangtianxia chuckled, glanced at the mind flayer standing beside him like a stake, and said with a smile: "What purpose do these mind flayers have to catch us?" , be patient."

Atona's complexion wasn't too bad, after all, she had been adventuring alone in this dark region, and she should have seen even the most thrilling scenes, but after hearing the unintentional guess of "Sword Swinging the World", her complexion suddenly changed, as if Think of something terrible like that.

It's a pity that Jian Dang Tian Tian's attention was all focused on the information on the virtual light screen at this time, and he didn't notice the obvious expression change of the female sword master.

After confirming that the front troops of the players are close to where they are, the mood of Sword Swinging World becomes more and more relaxed. As long as they persist for a few more minutes, they will get out of trouble sooner or later—the Elder Mind Flayer is not a giant dragon, no matter how powerful it is , and absolutely cannot stop the tide of thousands of players.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Jiandang Tiantian had already begun to think about how to take Atona away under the gaze of many players. After all, the appearance of the female sword saint is too obvious, and he is not a player at first glance. Passers-by found out that it was not a big or small trouble.

At this moment, the corner of Jian Dang Tian Xia's eyes suddenly twitched, because a long shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of his sight - judging from the position of the brazier, the owner of this shadow was behind him!

Another mind flayer?

Because he had already received news from his teammates, Jiandang Tianxia quickly recovered after being surprised at the beginning, turned his head and looked back, but it didn't matter, Jiandang Tianxia's heart went "thud!", and he immediately narrowed his eyes Get up, turn around as if your eyes were dazzled by the flames.

your sister's...

The one who appeared silently behind him was also a mind flayer, but this one's complexion was different from others of the same kind, not lavender, but slightly whitish, like a plucked hen, it looked very Cautious people.

Moreover, the equipment on this guy is much better than the other four mind flayers around him. The crystal skull on the belt left a deep impression on Jiandang Tiantian, and the short magic wand with purple light hanging on the belt is even more impressive. Extraordinary!Jiandangtianxia has seen countless good equipment, and it is definitely above the purple quality!

Seeing the rows of question marks on the information fed back from the probing technique, facing the mind flayer's sword Dangtianxia, ​​he subconsciously twisted the ring on his right thumb.

Elder Mind Flayer! ?

The other four people present also discovered this strange mind flayer that appeared silently beside them, but the doubts of everyone did not last long, because a strange voice had already been thought of in their minds at the same time.

"Very well, my slaves, tell me, what is your reason for breaking into this place?"

This is the unique communication method of mind flayers. It directly invades the brains of intelligent creatures to start a conversation. Jiandang Tianxia turned around again and exchanged glances with the fellow sufferers around him. Obviously, they heard the same words.

The first reaction of Jian Dang Tian Tian was strange.

These mind flayers in front of me are all high-level monsters above level 30, and they usually work part-time as warlocks. Whether it is using charm (making the enemy treat the caster as a friend) or mind control, it takes minutes to get the desired news. The simple things couldn't be simpler, why is there a need to engage in interrogation?

Of course, after the player is charmed or mind-controlled, it is impossible to reveal any news, because at that time the player will be temporarily kicked to the resurrection hall, which is also an advantage of the player.

But isn't there another Atona?

After being captive for such a long time, Jian Dang Tian Tian did not find that these mind flayers had used spells such as charm on the female sword master. (To be continued..)
