Idle game leads to another world
Chapter 267: Snail Shell Ship
At first glance, all that came into view was an endless snowfield, as if there was no end at all.
But in fact, the temperature did not reach the standard of the snowfield, it was just a little chilly, and the warming potions distributed by several people were enough to solve the temperature problem.
Aoerdai judged that a large-scale illusion was cast here. In fact, they were just moving forward in the underground cavity, but what they saw was a snowfield.
The purpose of the illusion was obviously to cover up the things they wanted to hide, so that people who accidentally strayed into it would retreat.
Aoerdai held the staff in one hand and covered one of her eyes with the other hand.
Above her head, there was a nearly transparent magic eye floating.
This is a spell called the Mystic Eye, which can see through the illusion and see the flow of magic power. Because it is visually connected with one's brain, if one eye is not covered, the brain will not be able to process too much information, causing dizziness.
But maybe this illusion is too powerful, and the Mystic Eye can only see the area around it with a radius of about 20 meters, and it will still be covered by the illusion if it is farther away.
Tiefling Wanderer Nimya was exploring the way ahead, while the dwarf Drerg and the halfling Perrin were walking in front and behind Orde, respectively. This was the standard formation for adventurers to advance.
They had been walking for nearly ten minutes, and the aurora in the distance had not weakened at all, and the distance did not seem to have shortened, but if you pay attention to the surroundings, you will find that every time everyone moves forward, the scenery in the distance fluctuates as if it were teleporting.
This is the illusion adjusting itself to ensure that it can be perfectly covered in people's vision.
However, the aurora has nothing to do with illusions. Orde vaguely saw some divinity in the aurora through the secret eyes.
It was the Demon King's Ring guiding Orde, a follower of the Demon King God, to find himself. It wanted to return to the finger of the Demon King God. As long as you follow the aurora, no matter what scene the illusion creates, you will never get lost.
Keep moving forward, and suddenly a black behemoth breaks into the field of vision, looking like a strangely shaped ship.
"Is that also an illusion?"
"Not sure, but it's blocking our path."
When they got closer, they saw that the black behemoth looked like a giant cephalopod, with tentacles as thick as tree trunks and dried up like meat. The cold magic aura illuminated the ominous and terrifying outline.
"What is this?"
"It doesn't look like a ship."
The three adventurers looked at the thing in front of them in shock. Nimia even touched one of the tentacles in front of her with her fingers. It felt as cold as stone.
"This is a ship."
Aurdai stepped forward and saw clearly with the secret eye that this thing was real, not an illusion.
"It's a conch shell ship, a magic ship belonging to the mind sucker."
"....."
The three looked at each other and covered their scalps unconsciously.
The mind sucker is a hideous creature with purple skin and octopus-like heads. It survives by eating the brains of intelligent creatures.
The most terrifying thing is that this monster will implant its young into the body of a living person. As the young eats up the host's gray matter, the original host will become a mind sucker.
This process is extremely painful and irreversible. Even one of the most powerful spells in magic, the wishing spell, is powerless against it.
"No one wants to encounter a mind sucker, even the evil demons of the Nine Hells!"
As a mixed evil demon, the tiefling said this, which was really convincing.
"This nautilus has been here for a long time. It fell."
With the secret eyes of Orde, one end of the nautilus still had a long gully left, left by the collision.
"And we have no choice now, we can only go in and see the situation."
Orde pointed with his staff, and the three looked up and found that the aurora that had just existed had disappeared.
–--——----
It takes a lot of courage to approach a nautilus, because you don't know when an octopus head will suddenly pop out to eat your brains.
What's even more fucked up is that these octopus heads called mind suckers are ridiculously strong and can use psychic energy to attack.
However, Alde thinks that there is no need to worry about the mind suckers.
The spiral shell ship is actually a biological warship. The main body of the spiral shell ship is actually organic matter, such as huge blood vessels and tendons, and the shell is reinforced with wood or metal.
The tentacles of the spiral shell ship should remain moist for a long time and have a lot of mucus.
Now it seems that the tentacles of this spiral shell ship have completely dried up like jerky, and the mucus has long disappeared.
In other words, this is the corpse of a spiral shell ship, and it has been stored for a very long time and has become a mummy.
No matter how terrifying the mind sucker is, it is still a living thing. It is impossible to survive without eating and drinking, so the probability of encountering a mind sucker on this spiral shell ship is very low.
Alde is actually more curious, why a spiral shell ship was found in a place where the Demon King's Ring may be stored.
The current guess is that the Snail Shell accidentally crashed here during a space jump, and it might be avoiding some kind of attack.
However, the aurora has disappeared, and it is unknown when it will appear again. Perhaps it is just a hint, indicating that Oldie should go to the Snail Shell first.
The four of them circled the Snail Shell and finally found a hole on the armor plate on one side that they could enter.
The armor plate that originally covered the hole has disappeared without a trace, and there are very obvious bite marks on the edge of the hole. Even though the Snail Shell has now turned into "dried meat", the bite marks are still clearly visible.
Orde touched the bite marks on the hole and said:
"This is the bite mark of the red dragon. It seems that the Snail Shell may have jumped here urgently to avoid being hunted down."
Nimia was a little timid:
"Is there still a red dragon nearby?"
Derger comforted:
"Impossible, this is who knows how long ago. Don't be afraid, explore the way ahead."
Exploring the way is the task of the wanderer. Even if Nimia is afraid, she has to do her job well.
She gritted her teeth, drew the dagger at her waist, and got in first.
The inside of the Snail Shell was unexpectedly warm. It felt like the few people had entered the body of a huge monster. There was a faint smell of rotting flesh and blood.
The place they entered might be a corridor on the conch. At first glance, it was all dark, shrunken muscle tissue, whether it was the ceiling, floor or wall, it was all the same.
No one would like this style of corridor, it felt like walking in the throat of a monster. Except for Alde, who had no expression, everyone else showed disgust.
At this moment, a rotten wind blew gently, like a ghost's hand caressing the skin, which made people shudder.
Only Alde was an exception. Not only was she not afraid, she even seemed excited:
"Keep going, let me see if I can find anything interesting."
