Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

"Why do you say that!? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Fang Yi's words completely aroused the worry that Atona forcibly buried in her heart. At this time, the female sword master didn't have the momentum to kill the mind flayer with a sword before. The anxious and hysterical expression on her face was completely a A little girl who just lost something she loved.

The area of ​​the Stone Forest Devil's Grotto is not particularly large. Before being discovered by the mind flayers, the players of the Trinity Alliance had already explored more than half of the range, and then scattered to avoid the pursuit of the mind flayers. It is not too much to trample the entire cave.

But after such a long period of exploration, neither Fang Yi, who was running around with the monsoon, nor the players of the Trinity Alliance scattered around, found any signs of a large group of lizardman slaves trapped here.

Thousands of players are now flocking into the Stone Forest Devil's Cave. If it is true what Atona said, there are hundreds of lizardman slaves here, and it is impossible not to be discovered.

So Jiandang Tianxia also vaguely had this guess, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised when Fang Yi said it in such an affirmative tone.

Seeing the sudden change in the face of the female swordsman, Fang Yi looked at him with begging and miserable eyes, which made people very unbearable, but deceiving oneself and others is not the solution after all. It is obvious that Atona means to go back to the Stone Forest Demon Grotto, then What is not courting death?

So Fang Yi didn't intend to hide anything, and made up his mind in his heart, it's best to persuade Atona to leave here, so that he can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with this beautiful npc girl, and also stumbling this dark knight .

Presumably this guy's mission is to help Atona find the captured clansman?Fang Yi glanced at the dark knight who was quietly eavesdropping from the corner of his eye.So thought.

"The reason why I made this judgment is very simple, that is, the number of mind flayers here is too small,"

Fang Yi didn't shy away from it, and directly stated his speculation, "Although the strength of the lizard people is relatively weak, that's relatively speaking. With just a few mind flayers in the cave and those dozens of efforts, It is impossible to trap hundreds of Lizardmen with strong nature, besides, there must be a Sword Master among the Lizardmen, right?"

At this time, Atona had slowly thrown away all the extravagant hopes in her heart.He nodded expressionlessly.And the eyes of Sword Swinging World next to him also lit up.I already understood what Fang Yi meant.

The strength of mind flayers lies in their psychic powers. In comparison, their melee abilities are extremely poor. If they cannot control the enchanting lizardmen with their minds, how can they keep hundreds of lizardmen staying in the cave obediently? inside?

And mind flayers have a well-known habit.It can also be called a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder-they will not treat intelligent creatures with their own will as slaves.in other words.If they fall into the hands of mind flayers, they will end up being brain-suctioned or brainwashed.

So there are only two possibilities - the lizard people have been transferred away.Or, the vast majority of them are dead.

Thinking of this, Jian Dang Tianxia calmly glanced at Atona, who was downcast and depressed, and became more and more curious in his heart: Just now, this female sword master and I have been slaves of the mind flayer for a long time, but the other party Didn't take the initiative to kill or control people?

"And the number of mind flayers is even less than you imagined." Fang Yi saw that the expressions of the two people on the opposite side moved slightly, as if it wasn't enough, and added anger: "At least one less."

"What do you mean?" Jiandang Tiantian didn't understand Fang Yi's meaning, so he couldn't help frowning and asked.

As the big boss of the Trinity Alliance, Jian Dang Tian Tian is an uncompromising character no matter in the game or in reality, and his tone of speech inevitably carries the aura of a superior.Seeing Fang Yi frowned and looked at himself, Jiandang Tianxia also realized that there was something wrong with his tone of voice, and coughed lightly.

Fang Yi didn't seem to hear the other party's unusual tone, just grinned and continued: "You all saw the mind flayer killed by my pet, don't you feel anything strange?"

"It's because your pet is so powerful, it's a silver dragon!" Atona raised her head reluctantly, and said weakly. It was obvious that Fang Yi's words had great feelings for the female sword master.

However, Jiandang Tiantian thought of it differently. At that time, I thought it was strange, but the scene was too chaotic, and the mind flayer slaves attacked desperately, and there was no time to take a closer look. I didn't see clearly her fate, maybe she was eaten?

It's just that Fang Yi's next sentence completely shocked Jian Dang Tian Tian.

"That's not a mind flayer at all!" Fang Yi looked at Ji Feng, who was squatting beside him as a guard, and remembered the situation at that time, with a sneer on his lips.

Before the start of the war, Fang Yi habitually threw a detection technique, but the news that came back was far beyond Fang Yi's expectations: it turned out to be another unknown abnormal state!

Along the way, Fang Yi also figured out the rules. Those who carry this line of characters are generally slaves controlled by mind flayers. Ultra-ordinary players, especially "low IQ fighters" like Fang Yi who never accumulate intelligence.

So when Fang Yi saw this line of writing on a mind flayer, forget about the shock in Fang Yi's heart.

Mind flayers controlling mind flayers?

Fang Yi's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Although there is a theoretical possibility, Fang Yi knows that this possibility is very small. The reason is very simple. 100% of these mind flayers operating in groups come from the same mind flayer city. It's impossible for this kind of thing to happen before the demon's master brain hangs up!

After Fang Yi came to the Underdark region, he also checked the information about the underground world, including notorious monsters such as mind flayers and beholders.

Every adult mind flayer is one in a million to evolve from an egg to what it is now. As the actual leader of the mind flayers, the mind flayer mastermind will not allow the citizens of the same city to kill each other of.

At that moment of extreme tension, Fang Yi suddenly thought of his previous doubts.

The elite stalkers of the Trinity Alliance all came to the Stone Forest Devil's Grotto, but they gave up the best choice of sneak attack due to unknown reasons. Why?

Most of them were discovered, but why were they discovered?

The 'Mind Flayer' controlled by the mind, those thieves who acted strangely in the Trinity Alliance, and then think of their previous experience, the murloc controlled by the mind turned into the dwarf thief Saruin, who was actually controlled by the mind flayer. The deformed monster under control...

In a split second, Fang Yi connected these clues together in an instant, so before the two mind flayers moved to the ideal sneak attack position, he forced himself to fight!

This mind flayer is clearly a shapeshifter!

In this way, it makes sense for the thieves of the Trinity Alliance to be discovered! ——Advanced shapeshifters have their own halo effect of thought detection!

If you see this shapeshifter that has turned into a mind flayer, the player's first reaction is definitely not to rush up and kill people, but to sneak behind and attack, but in this way, the slow-moving player will inevitably be spotted by the mind-changer , Just like when "Sarouin" discovered Fang Yi in stealth!

The controlled shapeshifter and other mind flayers share all information. What they see and think of will be transmitted to the minds of the surrounding mind flayers immediately, so when the players think they are unaware By the time the mind flayers touch the opponent's back, the spells in the hands of the mind flayers may have already been prepared.

"I guess, those members of the Trinity Alliance probably also suffered from this shapeshifter~"

Speaking of this, Fang Yi chuckled, his eyes glanced at the darkened dark knight, but he thought of something else.

In this way, it is over when his team of thieves is discovered... Jiandang Tiantian sighed lightly, although it is a bit regrettable, but he can only lament his bad luck, who knows that there will be a controlled shapeshifter there Secretly cat?The detection idea of ​​the doppelganger is simply the nemesis of the stealth profession, without even a system prompt...

"I guess, the news that your people are being imprisoned in the Stone Forest Devil's Cave was probably released deliberately by the mind flayer, in order to attract survivors like you to rush there,"

Fang Yi saw the changes in the expressions of the two people in front of him, without pausing, he continued to talk about his speculation, "And it is probably to let you go back, Atona. As for why the other party cares about Atona so much, I don't know." Got it~"

Fang Yi spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, but in fact, Fang Yi was lying in the dark before, listening to the words of the mind flayer elder and Atona, and he had long been sure that this female sword saint had his own gear needed.

But there is a big light bulb in front of me...

All indications indicate that the dark knight with Atona is definitely not a passer-by, and Bao Qi is an elite player in charge of the task line of Atona in the Trinity Alliance...

Fang Yi wanted to kill this unsightly guy on the spot, but he didn't dare to do it rashly.

This Atona should be an npc of the good camp. From her previous performance and her feelings for her own people, it can be inferred that if "another adventurer" is cut off on the spot, it is still an acquaintance who has worked with her. Zhun himself went from a savior to a guy worse than a mind flayer...

Or take one step at a time...

"I don't think so,"

The three of them were silent for a while, before Jian Dangtian said: "My companions were scattered in the Stone Forest Devil's Cave, and they will definitely go to Huxin City to gather. My large army is also there, why don't we go there to discuss a long-term plan, A Tuo Na, what do you think?"

"Huh? That's not good. I've been to Huxin City, and there are more mind flayers there than here!" Fang Yi immediately objected.

What a joke, there are still hundreds of people in the Trinity Alliance in Huxin City, and every one of them drowned me with their saliva! (To be continued..)
