Lord of the Abyss 2

Mind flayers, also known as illithids, most creatures living in the Underdark are very afraid of this evil life.Especially in this world.This is because their magic-like ability 'Mind Blast' is quite sharp against beings with normal souls, let alone those with only virtual souls, it is simply a 3-second nirvana.

It is not so much death that scares the denizens of the darkness as the mind flayer's penchant for sadism.Mind blasting produces soul shock. For quite a long time, the subject loses the ability to control their limbs freely, and it will be even more miserable later on. They are dragged back to the mind flayer's lair, ravaged and tortured in every possible way.

Such a powerful and evil creature naturally needs servants.Stoneblind savages are a common type of minions driven by mind flayers.

This was the first time for Luo Ling to see mind flayers and stone blind barbarians up close.Not to mention, from an aesthetic point of view, neither of these two creatures was pleasing to his eyes.

Grimlocks are strong humanoids with thick gray scales. The height is 160-170cm, the eyes are two gray beads, they have no vision, but the sense of hearing and smell is extremely developed, the mouth is densely covered with yellow fangs but has no lips, the eyes are rat ears, the skin with scabs and scabs is distorted It's really hard to make people feel good after seeing her face.The creature loves to eat fresh meat, especially human flesh.They are typically evil creatures, and they often serve mind flayers willingly, because mind flayers who like to suck brains will give their corpses to stone blind barbarians for disposal.

Although the stone-blind barbarians were ugly, in Luo Ling's eyes, compared with the mind flayers, they could be called handsome young men.Mind flayers look like octopuses.Its body is elastic and lavender like rubber, with reflective mucus attached. Its face is the head of an octopus. The snout is as smooth as a mask, and four tentacles extend downward. When it is not sucking human brains , Grease-like mucus is constantly dripping from this tentacle-like mouth.The most special thing about mind flayers is their eyes. In the fully protruding eye sockets like skeletons, the protruding fish bubble eyes emit a strange white light, which is much sharper and more evil than the pair of hygienic eyes of the stone-blind barbarians. Many, the mind flayer's mind explosion is done through these eyes.

When Luo Ling appeared, the five-headed mind flayers and their servants were ready to attack. After all, Luo Ling and the 'Overlord' under his crotch were of the same size, and it was impossible for them to move lightly like a cat. There is no spirit or sound.

This is a channel with an oblate shape, a width of 7 or 8 meters, and an average height of 5 meters.There is nothing in the passage except for some cold light plants.The cave wall is typical limestone, half natural, half artificial, but the traces are very faint, indicating that it has been excavated here for at least hundreds of years.

In the past, the appearance of mind flayers always surprised the other dark residents, especially the lineup of a small society. If the expedition team encountered them, it would most likely be wiped out.After all, in terms of spell ability alone, these mind flayers are already equivalent to Tier [-] professionals.

But this time, it was the five mind flayers that were taken aback.With a huge body, exquisite and heavy armor, a mighty and ferocious mount under his crotch, black light all over his body, his eyes shot like lightning, and he was holding a strange-shaped killing weapon gleaming with blood in his hand. Knowing that it is the kind of boss-level existence, mind flayers are more intelligent than humans, so of course they can appreciate Luo Ling's strength.Its leader pushed away from the left and right, stepped forward, put one hand on his chest in awe, saluted Luo Ling on the mount, and said in the underground common language: "Hello, respected strong man. Can see such a powerful existence like you We are deeply honored.”

Luo Ling took some time to learn the Underground Common Language these days, because its learning ability and memory ability are quite high, so although it is a little bit reluctant to speak, there is no problem in listening.The mind flayers showed weakness, but he didn't appreciate it at all, and said coldly in the abyss language: "It's because of Trasim!" Luo Ling threw a ring with a faint silver light over it.This ring was obtained from the dwarf who was trampled to death by him, and it was a magic item of mind control.Mind flayers rely on similar props to spread eyeliner and tentacles all over the Underdark.

The mind flayers were indeed here for Trazyn.They have long regarded Trasim as an oasis-like supply point in the shallow strata. Through the controlled dwarves, they vaguely noticed that there were creatures that seemed to have forcibly occupied Trasim and carried out destructive mining, so they formed a society. Come up to check, if you can destroy it, you will destroy it, if you can't, you will go back, and notify the large army to come.Gongga, the underground city where the five mind flayers are located, has nearly 1000 mind flayers and about 4000 servants, so it can be said that they are very powerful.

These mind flayers still had the ability to observe words and deeds. Looking at Luo Ling's posture, they knew that today might be difficult, and they immediately wanted to retreat, but two of them were a little bit unconvinced.They recognize the Rosal hybrids, and they see them as a bunch of brutes. They are strong enough and strong enough, but not necessarily strong enough in soul. Mind explosion is a typical spiritual attack. With a strong body and heavy armor, it can block Can't stand this type of attack.

Almost at the same time that the ring fell to the ground with a clatter, the two mind flayers unleashed Mind Blast at the same time.

The range of influence of Mind Blast is a 20-meter-long cone, and the two mind flayers hit the target at the same time.But in the end, not to mention Luo Ling, even the 'Overlord' was not affected at all.It's not that their mind blasting power is insufficient, but that their luck is really bad.When they met Luo Ling, who possessed a divine soul that was exclusive to him, the mind flayers would lose their martial arts.

The 'Overlord' carrying Luo Ling was much more flexible than it looked, and the distance of more than ten meters was just a simple flash-through movement.Luo Ling didn't bother to talk nonsense with these bastards anymore, he waved his sickle, and in the breathtaking scream, a blood banner with a length of more than ten meters appeared. This blood banner was made by ten stone blind barbarians and two mind flayers. It was formed by the gathering of fresh blood, and in the channel overflowing with cold light, it revealed a strange and cruel beauty.

While the two mind flayers were attacking Luo Ling, the remaining three mind flayers had already started to escape.For them, it is a very normal choice to escape when the situation is not good. The so-called companions are used to buy time for themselves to escape.However, they still underestimated Luo Ling's strength, and to Luo Ling, they were just a bunch of soft-legged shrimps.

Mind flayers are very typical magical creatures. They can bind themselves to a teleportation with a maximum distance of no more than 150 meters, which can be activated at any time.The premise is that you must see the destination. After teleportation, levitation, lightness, acceleration, and at most, a flying technique with a low level.This kind of mobility is like a magician in a fantasy novel. It is too difficult to escape Luo Ling's pursuit.Therefore, in this not-so-long cave passage, the three mind flayers lived about ten seconds longer, and they were beheaded by Luo Ling without even seeing the large cave with the shaft air passage.

"Hmph! Sadism! With me here, you low-class bastards dare to call themselves the ravagers of souls?" Luo Ling looked at the pink soul dancing in his claws, and curled his lips.The other paw moved, choking!Howling Soul's sickle blade rose from the cave wall, and the bone coat of a mind flayer that had been sucked dry fell down along with gravel and dust.

The 'Overlord' turned his head and caught up with the remaining 5 Stoneblind Barbarians who were fleeing in the passage after ten seconds.When encountering an enemy in this kind of channel without forks, one must either be stronger than the opponent, or pray to run faster than the opponent. Howled three times, the blood flag fluttered, and the stone-blind barbarians were left with dead bones.

Tap! 'Overlord' ran very hard, as fast as lightning, returned to the dome, flew straight, and then fell obliquely into the ground river tens of meters away, splashing a large bouquet of water.With its webbed paws moving and its tail maintaining balance and acting as a rudder, the 'Overlord' swam for a while like a fast boat, and landed on the shore in another short dash, sending Luo Ling to the throne in just over a minute.Luo Ling got off his mount, and the big fellow ran to the side and criss-crossed.It looks like it is sleeping, but it is actually sucking and puffing up dark energy. Since this idiot was darkened, he doesn't know what restraint is. He is addicted to sucking dark energy. When he is full, he vents and consumes it and then sucks again.Luo Ling simply hung a crystal ring on it, the Overlord absorbs the dark energy in the void, and the crystal ring absorbs its dark energy, which made this guy feel better.

Luo Ling sat on the throne and began to play with the mind flayer's soul.It's not surprising that mind flayers can have real souls. Even if their powerful group is fully capable of snatching a soul slate, as an individual, they are still qualified to 'hang their souls' somewhere.Hanging the soul is an easy-to-understand trading method. A certain clan has a soul slate and pays enough benefits in exchange for a soul consciousness. A bit of tofu-like brine will condense the virtual soul.Even if the creature dies, the soul dissipates or is taken away by someone, the previous transaction has already been paid off, and no one suffers.

As a god-level character with soul attributes, his avatar can now split the souls below the 'hero' level (generally corresponding to the fifth level). The specific process is a bit like a watchmaker repairing a watch. Force, to see clearly the structure of the soul's operation, and then peel it off and dismantle it.The silk of the soul, Luo Ling can make this kind of thing, it is purely a manifestation of personal comprehension and will.

Luo Ling believes that the will can be a bunch of spiritual waves, and there are so-called threads of fate and emotions, so he thinks that the soul should be a mess of threads, with the thread of the main cause, the thread of the main emotion, and the main movement. and so on, and the intersection of these lines means the event, and the event is the memory.So his way of playing is to straighten the thread, because the thread of the soul is countless dead knots and slipknots entangled with each other, so it is basically impossible and too laborious to untie it into a plan.Luo Ling's usual method is to use his own soul power to enlarge it, a ball of wool, and make it as big as a room. Although it is still messy, it is already more convenient for searching. If you want to find something, you can follow the corresponding soul thread all the way to find it. Can.

The reason why it is so complicated, instead of forcibly merging and devouring it, and then looking for the content it needs like recalling its own past, is because every soul has too much information, and this information is like turbid water, swallowing it In the end, no matter whether it is good or bad, you have to endure it. It’s okay to have a small amount. If you keep doing this, even your soul will be polluted and you will forget your true self.No matter what kind of engulfment it is, he must face such punishment, so although this ability is awesome, it can make Upton reach the quasi-fifth level from nothing in half a year, but Luo Ling has no love.

"Master, the output of sunlight crystals has reached your requirement." Darren ran over and reported respectfully. In his eyes, Luo Ling's playing with the soul was just lazily leaning on the chair, on the fingertip of the index finger. With a small ball of pink light on it, I don't know the mystery inside.

Today's Darrenby and Luo Ling have changed a lot since they first met.Luo Ling hated the unclean, thinking that it was synonymous with laziness.Therefore, after all the servants get rid of the basic needs of eating, the first thing to do is to clean themselves. Under the hobgoblin's militarized management, there is no exception.

The pool of magma drove metal smelting and processing, resulting in the continuous production of tools and parts. The sharp ax and big saw felled Qinlin, and wood was also available, and some simple equipment, such as looms and large iron pots, also appeared one after another.The fur of hunting, the hair can be spun into a mixed fabric with the silk of a nettle plant in the vault, and the clothes can be produced. Bags, saddles... Soft leather armor, hard leather armor, etc. are exempt. Luo Ling doesn't even look at pure metal armor. He won't let the people below waste time making leather armor. There are more than 2000 people, the consumption is high, the materials are limited, and there is no need for servants to go into battle at all. The dark crystal rock puppet is about to be completed. Although five follower leaders, three blacksmiths and Gregory are removed, there are only 40 follower soldiers. , but all of them are pure killing machines, with a crystal steel shell for defense and dark water spray for attack, no need to rest, tireless, guarding the eight passages leading to the vault is almost enough.

Hearing that Darren reported that the sunlight crystal had been finished, Luo Ling turned his wrist, put away the mind flayer's soul, and stood up.

Darren waved his hand at the right time, and a group of more than 200 servants carried nearly a hundred wooden boxes with iron hoops the size of a square table, and they came over and placed them one by one under the hill. The translucent crystal has not been activated yet, so it does not emit any luster.

Luo Ling took out a small piece of crystal, threw it to Darren, and said, "Input the magic power, and the design will be projected in the void. Call a craftsman and assemble it on site."

"Yes, master!" Darren went down with the crystal in his hands, and summoned the craftsmen. After a while, the light and shadow of the blueprint appeared in the void. Views from different angles, as well as disassembled parts and sections, are very complete, dwarves After some discussion, the craftsmen started working under the hill.

Luo Ling watched for a while, saw that the craftsmen assembled relatively quickly and seemed competent, so he sat back on the throne, sent a few crystal text messages to Bao Si and the three of them, and then started playing with the mind flayer's soul again.

"Hmm! About 10 kilograms of stardust, and a piece of soul card. If you want to commit crimes against these things, you are all dead." Luo Ling searched for useful information, and found the map of the same path and the place of the mind flayer. After reading the relevant information about the city, with a flick of his hand, the pink light group flew towards the howling soul standing there like a banner beside the throne.The cloud-like swaying blood light on the blade of the Howling Soul Scythe slammed like a tongue of fire, and the light cluster was swept away and absorbed.The magic eye on the sickle's head was still gurgling, and he didn't know what it was looking at.

throat!throat!With the sound of heavy armored boots stomping on the ground, Tau walked up the half hill.Kneeling on one knee, he said, "Master, the investigation of the fourth sub-area is over."

Now Tau can be described as a shotgun change. During the previous regional reconnaissance, several times of distress were dealt with by his team, and his performance was quite alert and heroic. Now his team is using the best armor and weapons except followers. , although it is only a relatively low-level crystal steel armor, which is not as good as the one used by the followers and soldiers when they attacked Stanistan City, but it is much better than ordinary metal armor, and it looks very cool, enough to be a knight family. Family heirloom.Although his soldiers are not as exquisite as his, they are luxurious enough, especially among the more than 2000 people who have no armor, they are naturally very conspicuous, which greatly satisfies their vanity, and they explore more than before. Work hard.

Luo Ling nodded, recruited the working puppets, connected the crystals, and collected the detection data into the crystals held by Luo Ling.With Traasin as the core, Luo Ling divided the three-dimensional area into seven parts, up and down, left and right, front and back, and center.Among them, the bottom is the top priority, so Tau and the others set out again to target the upper area, because Luo Ling wants to open a vault hole directly to the surface.

With the completion of some major projects and the increase of tools, the living conditions of the servants have gradually improved. Before resting, they just lay down on the ground, but now there are paving boards and several metal frames.
