Chapter 204 The oldest creature in Faerûn (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
“An abandoned temple of Moradin, the father of the dwarves? In Leyline Labyrinth!”
Looking at the cave. There was a rock statue more than four meters high in the middle, and Zuo Si showed a very surprised expression.
Because he really couldn't figure out who would build a temple in such a place.
With the character of the mad mage Halaster Blackrobe, it is 100% impossible to build anything like a temple.
In other words, as a remnant of the Imaskar Empire, he was born to be like the great arcane masters of Netheril, who had no good impression of creatures like gods.
What's more, Moradin is still the main god of the dwarves and has little to do with humans.
“This was originally the residence of an ancient dwarf tribe. However, before the arrival of the mad mage, they had no idea whether they had moved to other places or whether they all died under the siege of the dark elves and gray dwarves. . The temple in front of you should have been built and left behind by them. In short, with the blessing of the dwarf father, this is one of the few places where you can rest safely in the Lost City."
Ruger said. He knelt down on one knee to express his respect to the main god of the dwarf pantheon, and then took out the bedroll from the backpack behind him and spread it on the ground.
The other two people did the same thing, and they looked like they were quite skilled adventure veterans.
For most adventurers, it is normal to often live in the wilderness or even in underground caves.
In order to keep themselves warm and sleep more comfortably, they usually pack a sleeping bag, blanket or bedroll in their large backpack.
Then just like now, find a relatively flat ground, simply clean up the rocks, and go straight up to sleep.
However, the attentive halfling thief Cora noticed that Zuo Si and Davian did not have these things.
Just when she was about to show off her style and give up her bedroll, she turned around and suddenly saw a scene that made her stunned and unbelievable.
At some point, the Dragonborn Knight took out a large number of iron frames, leather, cloth and other things from the huge pocket on his back, and then assembled them together with extremely skilled movements.
In the end, a gorgeous tent covering almost half of the temple was erected.
Not just a tent!
There are actually simple wooden beds, tables, chairs and quilts inside, as well as a stove for making fire for cooking.
The stove is filled with charcoal and a large amount of fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and melons.
"Are you...are you here for vacation?"
Kora looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but raise her voice and asked.
She couldn't believe it at all. The two guys in front of her actually used expensive large dimensional bags to pack not only a large tent, but also countless daily necessities.
It has nothing to do with the traditional adventure life.
“Vacation? No, of course not. This is how we camp in the wild on weekdays. After all, whether it is fighting or traveling, it is a very consuming physical and energy thing, which can only be obtained by eating well and sleeping well. to a quick recovery.”
While Zuo Si was talking, some water came into the pot, and then he threw the chopped chicken, mushrooms and potatoes into the pot and stewed it.
Since [Magic Trick] can slightly adjust the taste of food, tasks like stewing soup and cooking are usually done by him himself.
After all, all arcane spellcasters are born chefs.
As long as they are willing, they can cook a pot of delicious soup or delicious dishes at any time.
“But this is too exaggerated!”
The poet Kels also noticed the tent that suddenly appeared out of thin air, and immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and complained.
In contrast, the dwarf Luger was quite receptive to this. He sat down at the dining table, picked up the cup, filled himself with wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, smacking his lips and laughing. Said: "I think it's not bad. With hot meals, who would want to nibble on those hard breads, biscuits, jerky and beans. By the way! Korra, you go and be on guard outside, don't let the goblins and dark elves and other monsters come in after smelling the scent of food."
"No need. I have set a magic trap at the door, and a harsh sound will be made immediately as an alarm." >
Zuo Si stopped the halfling thief who got up and was about to walk out.
Because this hidden temple has only one entrance, and it is very, very narrow.
Unless the incoming earth element creature has the ability to freely shuttle through the strata, it is basically impossible to launch a surprise attack.
What's more, the Shadow Legion has been lurking in the invisible darkness around them. If there is any disturbance within a few kilometers, Zuo Si will get the news as soon as possible.
"It sounds like I can finally have a good night's sleep."
Cora yawned lazily, then raised her arms and stretched, her eyes Staring straight at the food in the pot.
Like all halflings, she is also a "lazy" and "greedy" at heart.
If you are not still young and still long for adventure and fortune in your heart, it is estimated that in a few years your figure will be out of shape due to gluttony and lack of exercise, and you will become as small as Welby, the chef of Ascaltra. Fatty.
As for the dwarf and the poet, they took advantage of the time before the meal to quickly drink up an entire bottle of "spirits" with an alcohol content of about 30 degrees.
Especially the former. After drinking so much wine on an empty stomach, he didn't even feel drunk at all. Instead, he was still looking around to see if there was a second bottle.
As we all know, in order to relieve the fatigue and stress of travel, almost every adventurer is an alcoholic.
The dwarf race as a whole is also addicted to alcohol.
Many dwarf tribes living in caves and mines trade with outside human towns and the three most purchased items are nothing more than grain, salt and wine.
So when a dwarf becomes an adventurer, he becomes a mobile barrel.
As long as they have the opportunity, they will drink happily anywhere until their stomachs are full of wine and they can drink no more.
But Zuo Si obviously would not provide unlimited alcoholic beverages to a dwarf in Leyline City.
When Ruger searched twice and found no wine bottle, he quickly gave up the search and lay down in front of the table waiting patiently for the meal.
After a while, as the soup in the pot began to boil, a rich aroma began to emit.
Simply sprinkle a little salt and condiments, and then use the [magic trick] to add a bit of spiciness, and a stew of chicken, mushrooms and potatoes is served to the table.
Before serving the dish, Zuo Si carefully sprinkled a large amount of chopped green onion. The rich aroma of green onion made those waiting for the meal start to inhale through their noses involuntarily.
Having always been a germaphobe, he served himself a portion first, and then threw the whole pot of food to others to toss with.
As expected, these experienced adventurers ate as if they were grabbing food, and they didn’t use any utensils at all, just stuffing it into their mouths with cooking spoons.
One person fills his own mouth and then passes it to the next person.
Impatient dwarves will even grab it with their hands.
If he ate in the same pot with these guys who were completely unhygienic, Zuo Si was afraid that he would explode on the spot.
The meal finally came to an end after the full pot of food was completely eaten and everyone had eaten an average of two or three pieces of bread.
The halfling Cora took the initiative to wash dishes and pots with an endless kettle.
After eating, Davian lay directly on the hard bed and fell asleep.
He was too tired to go to the vigil as usual.
As usual, Zuo Si took out a spell book before going to bed and began to study the spells copied above.
Although I have learned a lot along the way, compared to the huge and astonishing number of types of arcane magic, these may not even reach one-third.
And with the deepening of the understanding of metamagic techniques, "spell powerful" and "spell extremely effective" can finally be used in actual combat.
The function of "strong" is to increase the maximum damage limit of a spell by 50%, while "extremely effective" ensures that the maximum theoretical damage limit can be reached after the spell is released.
Considering Zuo Si's current spellcasting level, the highest level is only fifth-level spell slots and divine spell slots.
Therefore, the powerful spell is obviously more cost-effective than the most effective spell.
So he decisively decided to memorize a powerful fireball spell to test its power after he got up from sleep.
About an hour or so, Zuo Si, who had learned a new spell, finally closed the book and started to rest.
It may be because the location of this dwarf temple is too remote, or it may be that all the goblins, dark elves and monsters were killed by the shadow army ambushing at the door.
Anyway, the team members were not disturbed in any way while they were sleeping.
Everyone who woke up had a simple breakfast on the spot, and after waiting for the two spellcasters in the team to prepare their spells, they packed up their things and continued to move deeper into the Lost City.
After killing all the hobgoblin tribe blocking the entrance to the lower level, the third level finally appeared in front of them.
It is different from the dry environment of the first two floors, which are either caves or mazes.
This poor place is filled with puddles and even pools of varying depths.
And it is not fresh water, but sea water full of fishy smell and salty taste.
Under some pools there are sea hags and sea trolls waiting for sneak attacks.
The former possesses many powerful spell-like abilities, so if one is accidentally stared at by those eyes full of evil power, he will fall into a trance in minutes and see a tragic picture of the future, or... Apocalyptic scene, he eventually fell into a deep coma and even died on the spot.
The dwarf, who always likes to be at the front to explore the way for his teammates, was caught and glared at by the sea hag just now, but he was saved by Zuo Si's magic.
Otherwise, he would probably sink to the bottom of the water and drown alive.
"Damn it! I hate water! I hate sea water even more!" Luger complained in a low voice through gritted teeth.
Because the dwarf's legs are relatively short, he is often immersed in water from the neck down. Whether his pants, clothes or shoes become wet, he feels extremely uncomfortable.
In addition, I almost had a close encounter with an extremely ugly sea hag just now, which made me feel extremely bad.
Seeing that the dwarf was deflated, the poet immediately took the opportunity to laugh and said: "It's not because you usually eat too much that you are seriously overweight. Otherwise, you can just sit on Davian's shoulders like Cora."
"Shut up! If I hear another word coming out of your mouth, I will use an ax to pry out your teeth one by one." Luger threatened fiercely.
"Come on. If you really hate these seawaters, why don't you go to Skull Harbor? You can even take a boat from there to quickly pass through the third and fourth floors and directly reach the fifth floor." Kers was annoyed. Rolled his eyes.
“I know the answer to this!”
Cora, who was sitting on Davian’s shoulder, suppressed a smile and interjected.
“Asshole! You promised me to keep it a secret!”
The dwarf immediately became anxious when he saw this, and jumped up desperately to pull the halfling thief down, and then blocked his mouth.
Unfortunately, compared with the dexterous Korra, his movements are too slow.
The halfling simply jumped from the left shoulder of the dragonborn knight to the right shoulder, easily dodging the dwarf, and then announced bluntly: "Do you know? The reason why Luger never goes to Skull Harbor is actually because He was even more afraid of taking a boat.
When he was young, he once took a merchant ship from Waterdeep to Baldur's Gate.
On the way, he encountered a storm and fell off the deck into the sea. I drifted with a wooden barrel for seven or eight days
Since then, he vowed never to set foot on a ship again. "
"Pfft hahahaha! Oh my God! So this is why you never go to Skull Harbor? "The poet burst into laughter immediately.
"Ahhhh! Cora! I'm going to kill you! ”
The dwarf who was found out about his dark history and “died” in public immediately became furious.
I have to say that having a few teammates who are fighting and having good feelings around him can really make boring The journey has become much more interesting
Since he has the elect ability [Walk on Water], Zuo Si always steps on the water and watches the show that is going on with interest.
And his army of shadows had already spread out, clearly detecting the dangers around them.
Some of the larger groups were even massacred mercilessly.
After walking a little more than two floors, the number of the Shadow Legion expanded again.
I don’t know if the mad mage will cause trouble after learning that all the monsters he managed to get were killed.
However, Zuo Si obviously didn't care about this and harvested a large amount of mana unscrupulously.
And use these overflowing mana values to continuously create various arcane and divine cards.
After more than seven hours of arduous march, the team finally passed through a cave completely submerged by sea water and reached the fourth level of Leyline Maze City.
But just after emerging from the water, before they had time to take a breath, everyone saw a group of Kuo Tao fishmen standing on the shore staring at them.
The two sides stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes for ten seconds. The Kuo Tao fish man immediately reacted, raised his fork and javelin and threw them at them.
"Gan! Hurry and dive to hide!"
The dwarf couldn't help but cursed, and then got into the water again.
Because of the huge buoyancy of the sea water, the forks and javelins thrown could not penetrate deeper than a few meters before they completely lost their lethality.
However, Zuo Si and Davian did not dive.
Just the opposite!
Zuo Si directly used the card to give the Dragonborn Knight a three-ring magic [Walk on Water].
The two of them just stood above the sea water.
Davian raised his shield in front of his master, intercepting all the forks and javelins falling from the sky.
As for Zuo Si, he entered a state of concentration on casting without any distractions.
In the blink of an eye, a fireball equipped with a super magic skill - a powerful spell, flew straight to the place where the Kuo Tao fish people were densest on the shore.
The next second...
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
With the chilling explosion and white fire, all the murlocs within a radius of six meters were evaporated in an instant.
When the fire light dissipated, only a few blackened ashes remained on the ground.
Such a terrifying sight directly caused the Kuo-Toa people, who had been aggressively attacking one second, to fall into dumbfounded silence the next second.
Because they are not those murlocs with low intelligence in the world of Azeroth who can only scream and rush forward in a swarm, but a very ancient aquatic intelligent race.
Long before the rise of human civilization, the Kuo-Toa people once worshiped the demon lord on the 89th floor of the Abyss - "King of the Deep" Dagon, and built one underwater city after another .
However, with the rise of the shark-turned-fishmen, they were slowly slaughtered bit by bit.
The only option is to find new habitats near shallow seas or even coastal lands.
Among the Kouta people who were killed by the fireball spell just now, there were two priests and tribal leaders, causing the entire tribe to lose its leader.
However, Zuo Si obviously had no intention of letting go of this group of "walking mana" and quickly completed the next spell with extremely fast movements.
I saw him raising his hand and gently pointing to the location of the Kuo Tao fish tribe directly in front.
In an instant!
A large poisonous cloud suddenly spread out.
Almost all the unlucky ones who accidentally took a breath died on the spot with bleeding from their mouths and noses in less than a second.
Those who were lucky enough not to be affected turned around and tried to escape without saying a word.
Obviously, this is the famous [Death Cloud Technique].
Seeing the Kuo Tao fishmen starting to flee like crazy, Zuo Si directly gave the order to the Shadow Legion to kill them all.
Soon, they were chased and intercepted by countless shadows in every corner deep in the cave.
In the end, all of them were killed without exception, and then transformed into new shadows.
As the mana pool began to overflow again, Zuo Si immediately took the opportunity to upgrade four [Fireball] cards to one level and turned them into [Powerful Fireball].
You don’t need to ask to know that he is quite satisfied with the power of the fireball that is blessed with powerful spells.
From the perspective of outsiders, the Leyline Maze, which is full of dangers everywhere, is like a huge treasure to planeswalkers.
Whether it is the monsters in the lower area that can be made into land cards that the "Mad Mage" Halaster Blackrobe grabbed from nowhere and can be turned into mana or cards. Unknown magic network nodes are what Zuo Si, a "newbie" planeswalker, needs most.
As the saying goes, "Eating people is short of mouth, and taking people is short of hands."
Zuo Si thought that when he became stronger in the future, he might find a way to help Halaster Black Robe treat his madness, even as a way to repay the "selfless" help he provided.
Just as he was putting away the upgraded cards, the other three people who had dived underwater to avoid the attack finally couldn't hold their breath and came out one after another.
When he saw with his own eyes the corpses of Kuo-toa fish strewn about on the shore, Kers, the only poet who knew arcane magic, immediately opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Death...Death Cloud Technique! You used five-ring magic. ?”
You must know that a mage who can cast five-ring spells must have at least a LV9 spellcasting level. At this level, he has already half-stepped into the ranks of high-level spellcasters.
Such mages are definitely rare among adventurers.
With Zuo Si's still slightly immature appearance, it is almost certain that he will become an Archmage in the future.
What's more, he is a priest himself.
"Yes! There are too many of these annoying guys, and they are very scattered. It is difficult for low-level spells to cover such a large area. Death Cloud Technique is the best choice." Zuo Si responded casually .
After all, poisonous gas magic such as Death Cloud Technique and Stinky Cloud Technique in reality are not like those in the game that only stay in one area.
Just the opposite!
It will spread around with the flow of air.
If Zuo Si had added a [Wind Creation Technique] just now to blow the poisonous cloud of death into the cave, then more than half of the kuo-toa who escaped would have been caught up by the poisonous cloud, and would have bled to death from their seven orifices.
But considering that the Shadow Legion is responsible for chasing and killing, and can also transform new shadows, naturally there is no need for that.
In fact, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the three temporary teammates, Zuo Si was always very restrained.
Except for using some trump cards when dealing with Warren, he basically didn't use the elector ability, and rarely used planeswalker cards.
"Good kill! These nasty Kuo-Toa people are all followers of the Demon Lord. They kill many adventurers who enter the Lost City every year, and all of them die unjustly."
The dwarf obviously hated the Kuo-Toa fish people and spat hard at the corpse on the ground.
But immediately after, he squatted down and started rummaging through the corpse for valuables.
Especially all kinds of pearls.
Finally, I put them all into my backpack, and then moved on with satisfaction.
Compared to the third floor, the fourth floor obviously has more places soaked by sea water, and it often happens that several passages are completely filled with sea water.
If someone didn’t know the way, it would be almost impossible to find the right direction in the intricate underwater caves.
No wonder the poet said that you can reach the fifth floor faster by rowing a boat directly from the Skull Port.
Zuo Si could not imagine how much time and energy the "Crazy Mage" spent on building the Leyline Maze City.
This is no longer a huge project that can be completed in just a few hundred years, but has been started before the establishment of Waterdeep City, and has been continuously developed and constructed for more than a thousand years.
While everyone held their breath and swam forward along the underwater cave, a huge black shadow six to seven meters long suddenly flashed across the slightly turbid water in the distance.
The poet was suddenly startled, and bubbles kept spraying out of his mouth.
But unfortunately, he couldn't speak in the water, so others didn't understand what he wanted to express.
Just a second later, the swimming dwarf suddenly stopped all movements, then turned around without warning, picked up his ax and slashed hard at the halfling thief.
Korra had no time to react, so she could only kick her short legs desperately to escape the opponent's attack range.
At this critical moment!
Davian rushed forward, taking advantage of his longer arms, and grabbed Luger's wrist, trying to control him by force.
But unfortunately, before the dwarf could be restrained, the bard next to him also became very uncomfortable. He brandished his sword and rushed towards Zuo Si.
But underwater, Zuo Si is not as powerless as others.
Before the opponent could get close, he directly used the magic card - [Bigby's Protective Palm].
In an instant!
A large invisible hand appeared out of thin air and directly blocked Kers several meters away. No matter how he attacked, he could not get closer.
In less than a few seconds after the huge black shadow appeared, two people in the team suddenly attacked their companions like crazy. Anyone who is not a fool would know that something was wrong.
So the other three people didn't even hesitate and immediately began to float quickly.
Just when it was about to surface, the black shadow that had just disappeared reappeared again and passed overhead at an extremely fast speed, forcing everyone back underwater with its huge size.
But this time, Zuo Si saw the true face of the black shadow.
It was a giant fish creature that was almost six or seven meters in length and probably weighed more than three tons.
But what makes it different from ordinary fish is that it looks very ugly and weird, with a large area of pink on its belly, three eyes on its head, and several strong and powerful stripes extending around its body. of tentacles.
When this guy swims by, the smell of sea water will suddenly become very foul.
No doubt about it!
This is a terrifying aboleth fish!
An intelligent aquatic creature as old as this world, and the most terrifying of all enemies encountered in the water.
According to legend, they were born from the seeds dropped by the ancient evil sect Skaisesis, also known as the "Blood Queen" and "Mother of Monsters", who happened to visit at the beginning of this world. .
And every aboleth will automatically gain the memory of his parents and even all his ancestors after birth, knowing how his race was born and how the world evolved into what it is today through disaster after disaster. What it looks like today.
It can even be said that the Aboleth is the living history recorder of the entire planet Toril.
The huge amount of memory cannot be matched by any other race, not even the legendary dragon and the mind flayer mastermind.
They are immortals in the true sense, living in the deep sea before most gods were born.
These powerful creatures can not only easily control other creatures within a certain range around them, but also possess psychic abilities similar to those of the mind flayers.
After realizing what the attacker was, Zuo Si's expression immediately became serious. Without saying a word, he took out two [Remove Curse] cards and liberated the two people who were enslaved by contact.
Immediately afterwards, he took out another [Level 5 Monster Summoning] card and without hesitation chose to summon a [Super Large Purgatory Shark].
In the blink of an eye, an underwater beast from Baator Hell emerged from the magic circle, and according to the summoner's will, directly attacked the aboleth.
After the aboleth discovered this, it immediately began to use psychic powers to create phantoms and illusions to deceive the infernal sharks.
In just ten seconds, the infernal shark with low intelligence was manipulated by the other party.
But Zuo Si didn't expect that a mere creature summoned by five-ring magic could pose any threat to an aboleth. It was just used to buy time.
Taking advantage of this moment, the other four people in the team had surfaced and struggled to climb to the shore out of danger.
When the Aboleth finished taking care of the Infernal Sharks, they suddenly discovered that Zuo Si was the only one left. He immediately asked in a curious tone through telepathy: "Why didn't you escape?"
"Escape? Why should I escape?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully through the mind connection.
Since the elect has underwater breathing as part of his ability, he does not need to float up for air every once in a while like normal people do.
“Because if you don’t escape, you will become my slave, or your skull will be pried open to read the memories in your brain.”
Aboleth made no excuses and stated his plans straightforwardly.
They have no concept of "equality" and "harmonious coexistence" at all.
In the eyes of all aboleths, this world should originally belong to them.
All other intelligent life forms that were born later were pests that must be eliminated, or objects of enslavement.
If caught by an aboleth, the best outcome would be to be killed on the spot.
Otherwise, whether it is having the skull pried open to read the memories in the brain, or being turned into a controlled slave by spell-like abilities, life will definitely be worse than death.
"Hmph! You and your race are really as arrogant as the rumors say, and you don't even realize that the world has been permanently reshaped. Now, I give you two choices. One One is to become my pet obediently, the other is to become a dead fish."
With the last word blurted out, Zuo Si instantly released the divine power in his body, filling the waters with deadly viruses. Bacteria and toxins.
In less than half a minute, all fish, shellfish, shrimps, crabs, algae, etc. within a radius of one or two kilometers were dead.
The densely packed fish carcasses floating on the water make people feel scalp numb after looking at them.
Similarly, the aboleth also felt the terrible changes in the water quality, and its body began to be covered with putrid sores.
The intense pain and discomfort made him first try to invade Zuo Si's brain, but as expected, he was blocked by divine power. In the end, he couldn't help but ask: "What on earth did you do?"
"It's simple! I filled this water with viruses, bacteria and the fastest-acting toxins in the world.
As I just said, your body is working at an extremely fast speed at this moment. Enter death.
If you don’t want to die, then don’t resist and become my pet.
Otherwise, no matter you choose to escape or fight, there will be only one final result, and that is to die painfully from disease and toxins.
In addition, I advise you not to try to control me anymore, because your ability does not work on me. ”
After that, Zuo Si took out a blank card.
You must know that he is very interested in the ability of Aboleth to infinitely stack and transfer memories to future generations.
Because except for the aboleth, no other race on the continent of Faerûn has similar abilities
"I choose to surrender! From now on, you are my master."
Realizing that he might really be killed by disease and toxins, the aboleth decisively gave in.
After all, this kind of creature is very precious about its life.
Almost no aboleth would give up his life easily.
And in their concept, being defeated and captured and becoming a slave is simply a matter of course.
"Very good! You made a wise choice. Don't resist now. I will seal you and take you away easily." Zuo Si deliberately used words to deceive the other party.
Due to the barrier formed by divine power, he did not worry at all that his true thoughts would be detected by the other party.
In this way, without any resistance from the aboleth, Zuo Si successfully made it into a biological card.
[Creature card: Aberration - Aboleth]
[LV3 blue card (can be upgraded)]
[Card quality: rare]
[Effect: Summon an aboleth to serve the planeswalker.
The creature possesses a number of spell-like abilities and psionic powers.
Slavery: Three times a day, you can control any creature within ten meters. The effect is equivalent to [Dominating Humans]. When the distance between the two sides exceeds one and a half kilometers, the enslaved people will break free.
Psychic powers that can be used at will: hypnotic pattern, illusion wall, mirage, resident phantom, preset phantom, projection, and mask.
Skin softening: The skin of any creature hit by the aboleth's tentacles may gradually become transparent and secrete mucus like an amphibian. Creatures in this state must keep their skin moist, otherwise they will suffer great pain until they die because they cannot maintain their body temperature.
Mucus Cloud: Aboleth secretes a mucus that wraps around its body. Any creature that accidentally inhales it will cause its respiratory system to lose the ability to breathe air for the next three hours. Once out of the water, they will suffocate and die.
In addition, the aboleth also possesses a huge memory that has been passed down from ancient times, which can help the planeswalkers better understand the secrets hidden behind this world.
The Aboleth will obey all orders you give until it is completely destroyed]
[Using this card requires paying five blue mana points, or five universal mana points. 】
[When the aboleth dies, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth for three days]
There is no doubt that although this biological card is only LV3, the value it contains may be It is the most valuable among all cards today.
Not to mention anything else, the memories and knowledge of the world passed down from generation to generation by the Aboleths from the birth of the entire race to the present may be worth several Candlekeep libraries. .
At least there will never be records in the Candlekeep Library about the beginning of this world, before most of the gods came.
And after making it into a card, Zuo Si can safely and boldly dissect the aboleth repeatedly and study its physiological structure, especially the structure of the brain.
After recovering the viruses, bacteria and toxins scattered in the surrounding waters, he emerged from the water.
"Master! Are you okay?" Davian asked with concern.
Zuo Si wiped the water on his face and shook his head gently: "It's okay. But I never expected to encounter the aboleth in a place like this."
< br>"What? Aboleth!"
The halfling Cora suddenly jumped up from the ground and exclaimed.
The poet next to him also shuddered and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! Why did I suddenly come under control? It turns out that the huge black shadow under the water is actually a terrifying monster like the aboleth. "
Even the dwarf, who has always been brave, said with lingering fear: "If we can go back alive this time, we will be able to brag. After all, there are not many people who can survive the encounter with the aboleth. "
"Yes! But the feeling of being controlled by the charm is terrible. I am still dizzy and feel sick." The poet turned pale and slapped his chest hard.
"Me too. It seems we have to rest here for a while."
The dwarf raised the [Endless Kettle] and poured two water into his mouth, barely able to swallow the strong Suppress the feeling of nausea.
You don't need to ask to know that the uncomfortable reaction of these two people is the typical sequelae caused by being hit by enchantment (bewilderment and control) magic.
Yes!
The effects of this type of magic are not just immediate effects such as charm, hypnosis, immobilization, and emotional manipulation.
And after the magic fails, it will be accompanied by strong physical discomfort.
Among them, dizziness, dizziness, and nausea are relatively safe and low-level conditions.
In severe cases, it can even permanently damage the brain and memory, and then the whole person becomes crazy and unreasonable.
After more than an hour of repairing, the discomfort of the dwarf and the poet finally subsided a little.
At least you don’t have to worry about suddenly starting to vomit while diving.
So, the team set off again, diving into the water and traveling along the intricate caves.
I don’t know how long it took.
Anyway, when the halfling thief Korra felt exhausted, the group finally left the fourth level, which was full of water, and officially entered a large underground forest full of various plants.
Seeing the light source above the head that was created by magic like a small sun, as well as the surrounding towering trees, growing shrubs and weeds, Zuo Si saw the Hellaster Black Robe for the first time I have a clear understanding of the extent of the madness.
You must know that this is an endless virgin forest built from scratch in the underground world!
The difficulty is so high that ordinary spell casters cannot imagine it.
As for the eternal light source that looks like the sun above the head, it must be the effect of legendary magic.
And these forests have probably existed for at least four to five hundred years, and have long formed a stable ecosystem.
Occasionally, you can see small animals such as rabbits, foxes, and squirrels running by, and various birds stand on the branches and make chirping sounds.
If it weren’t for the lack of sky and clouds above our heads, we might have forgotten that we were in the dangerous Earthline Lost City.
“This forest is simply a miracle!” Zuo Si sighed slightly.
The poet immediately echoed: "Yes. The five underground floors are a relatively safe place in the entire Leyline Maze City. This forest is managed by a female moon elf archdruid named Yue Luo. Generally speaking, as long as we don’t encounter another green dragon, we are basically safe.”
"Green dragon? Is there a dragon on this floor?" Zuo Si's eyes shone slightly.
Because in his opinion, most dragons that are not strong enough just give themselves money, equipment, and summoned creature cards.
"Hahahaha! I know what you are thinking. But the green dragon was captured by the mad mage, so there is not much treasure in his lair, so it is better to give up as soon as possible."
< br>The dwarf clearly saw Zuo Si's intention and couldn't help laughing.
To be precise, compared with the giant dragons outside, the dragons in the entire Earthline Maze City are generally relatively poor because there are few people to rob them of.
Even if you rely on your own efforts to grab enough treasures from other monsters or similar creatures, you will be directly transported to other levels due to accidentally encountering a passing mad mage.
When they rushed back after all the hard work, they found that their lair had long been robbed.
It is this strong uncertainty that makes many dragons give up their hobby of collecting treasures and begin to find ways to escape.
Some guys even don't hesitate to turn into humanoid creatures, and then join a passing adventure team and let them take them away from this ghost place.
