Chapter 446: The Mind Flayer's Secret Base (Part 1)

The large number of magic items dazzled everyone, but not many of them could really be used. After picking and picking, Henry threw all the temporarily unused items into the dimension bag, and distributed the rest on the spot. Seri Love got a full body armor, a magic shield, and a long sword that shone with emerald green light. Imon got a freely retractable dagger, and Uncle Kedong got a pair of magic wristbands and a defensive helmet. "Gift of Peace", as for Hina, she put a protective charm helmet on her head.

After getting dressed. Kaidong immediately asked Henry with a serious expression: "Do you think what the dwarf said just now is credible? This is Askatra. Is there really such a terrifying monster as the mind flayer?"

"It should be about the same. At least I don't think anyone can tell a lie under such circumstances, and it's just a matter of confirming whether it's true or not." Henry then cast the "Secret Detection Door" and saw less than 60 people in front of him. A ray of light flashed on Mi's wall instantly, and there was no doubt that there was a hidden secret door there.

Aimeng, who was more curious, quickly ran over to check the shiny wall, and quickly shouted to everyone: "Look, there is a small hole here, like a place to insert a key."

"Get out of the way. I'll try it." As she spoke, Hina stepped forward and released a second-level magic "knocking technique". Just as the spell was about to take effect, an unknown force suddenly enveloped the keyhole. , the power of magic was forcibly dispelled. She hurriedly lowered her head to take a closer look, and finally frowned and explained, "It's protected by magic. I'm afraid it won't open without the designated key." "But our top priority is not to investigate the mastermind behind the Blind Eye cult. Is it? I'm afraid it's not good to waste too much time here." Imon's face showed a tangled expression. After all, in the minds of most adventurers, fulfilling the commission is always the first priority. If it is delayed due to other things, it will seriously affect the reputation of the entire team.

Kaidong sighed, then nodded slightly. "You're right. The most important task right now is to stop the spread of the cult. As for this, let's talk about it when you come back. Saili Love, as a paladin, you have to learn to prioritize and deal with those things first." A greater evil."  …

"Understood, thank you for your teaching." The paladin girl bowed slightly as she spoke. For her, the experience summed up by her predecessors is very valuable, not to mention that Kaidong has been a paladin for more than 30 years and has never shown any signs of corruption.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Henry suddenly heard something, stopped, and quickly began to rummage around, and quickly took out a strange-shaped key from his pocket. He smiled at everyone, inserted it into the shrinkage hole and twisted it hard, only to hear a "click", the entire wall suddenly rotated ninety degrees, revealing a dark passage.

"My God! Where did you get this key?" Hina asked in surprise. You must know that unless the manufacturer provides a key for a special magic lock like this, it is impossible to open it.

Looking at everyone's eyes full of doubts, Henry smiled and explained: "It was dug out from the depths of your biological father, the red dragon Faircrag's lair, and it still smelled like a sewer at that time. I thought it was actually used to open this place."

"How could a red dragon get in touch with the mind flayer? Also, once again, that beast is not my father." She said with a disgusted expression on her face. It can be seen that her feelings for Faircrag have no family affection at all except hatred.

It's no wonder, after all, for most intelligent beings, they always regard the person who raised them as the closest person. As for the blood connection, although it will have some influence to some extent, it will not be too much. big. What's more, what the red dragon did was obviously not in line with the values ​​established by his daughter over the years, so it's not surprising that he was disgusted and spurned.

Kaidong glanced at Longnv, with a gratified smile on his face. He patted Xina on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "No matter what, there is definitely a big conspiracy hidden here, we'd better confirm it as soon as possible. Besides, the child is very happy to see that you have not been affected by the evil nature of your blood." , still walking on the path of kindness.”

"Then what are you waiting for? I'm so curious now, go in and see what's inside." After saying that, Aimon couldn't wait to be the first one to run in, but after less than five seconds, he went in again. Backed off. When she came out, her face was a little pale, and she tightly covered her mouth with one hand, as if she must have been disgusted by something.

Seeing this situation, other people did not dare to neglect, and they all walked in one after another, wanting to know what was inside. Relying on the night vision ability brought by the "Ring of Guss", Henry keenly discovered that there were countless corpses piled up on both sides of the narrow passage, most of them belonged to humans, and there were also some elves, half-elves, gnomes, and halflings ,dwarf. All of them have an obvious feature, that is, there are a lot of bloodstains in the ears, eyes, and nostrils, and the empty skulls can even be seen from the bloody eye sockets.

There is no doubt that the brains of these intelligent life have been eaten up. Judging from the number of corpses, the number of mind flayers is definitely not too small, and they should have been entrenched in the sewer for some time. Normally, this kind of monster only needs to eat one brain per month to meet its nutritional needs. Of course, if it uses too much psionic energy, it needs additional supplements.

Just as everyone was cautiously exploring forward, a sudden burst of powerful spiritual power surged over. Except for Saili Love who was holding the "Emerald Sword", everyone including Henry was shocked and could not move at all. . Obviously, they stepped on the psionic trap laid by these octopus heads, and there was no other way but to wait for a slow recovery.

The young paladin girl who was still a rookie was startled by the sudden change, she quickly raised her shield and stared vigilantly at the stairway ahead. As a paladin who believes in the God of Justice, she absolutely does not allow her teammates to be harmed under her protection, but this kind of worry is obviously unnecessary, because until everyone recovers, there is no sign of the mind flayer appearing.

Maybe it's because these octopus heads are too confident in the traps they set, maybe it's because they don't care about anyone breaking in. In short, it's a good thing that no enemies appear when they lose their resistance. You must know that these guys have always had a special hobby for smart brains. If they find a legendary mage trapped here, they will immediately swarm to taste the brains full of wisdom.

Henry shook his head vigorously, and took a deep breath with lingering fear. This mental shock reminded him that a powerful legendary mage does not mean that he can be free from scruples. In this world full of supernatural power, as long as he is not careful, the gutter may capsize. In particular, the weird power called psionic energy used by these octopus heads can not only distort a person's mind, but also be so powerful that it can even change reality to a certain extent.

This energy originates from the long-term strict self-examination and mental exercise, and the cultivation of one's own spiritual ability. Those who have overcome demons and all kinds of unexpected difficulties and can get rid of distracting thoughts in their minds can learn how to call out the hidden power in the body.

Among them, mind flayers, who focus on developing supernatural powers, are called "Psychics". They discover more extensive and powerful spiritual powers through continuous study of their own spiritual consciousness. They meditate on their memories and their nature, wrestle with fragments of their personality, and reach into the dark corners of their minds. "Know Yourself" is not just a psion motto, but a path to great power.

It can be said that psychic powers are strikingly similar to what Henry calls the power of the self, the same split personality, the same repeated re-recognition of oneself, and retrieval of previous memories, but the power of the self is more terrifying and dangerous at the same time. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the negative personality, and you will completely become a lunatic with an abnormal mind.

After experiencing the mind flayer's psychic powers today, he suddenly felt that he might consider going to the city of the mind flayer after arriving in the Underdark in the future. If he can successfully capture a mastermind and study it carefully, he may find some The connection among them, no matter how bad it is, you can find some ways to use energy, which is much faster than doing some dangerous magic experiments like yourself, and it can also guarantee your safety.
