Chapter 462: A Trap Against the Beholder

After passing through a dark passage, everyone finally entered the legendary beholder's lair. At a glance, everything here is blood-red in color, and a large number of flesh and blood of the killed creatures are smeared on the walls and the ground, and permanent embalming treatment is done with magic. Groups of meatloaf-like things were wriggling, and the entire passage seemed to be alive.

Seri Love couldn't help covering her mouth, her eyes were burning with anger. She said in a trembling voice, "This...this is really twisted...the evil creature must be destroyed!"

Henry took a closer look at the surrounding walls, and then introduced to everyone: "It seems that the description of the beholders in the book is correct. Due to their degraded sense of taste, the enjoyment of food mainly comes from the color and texture. Obviously, these walls The minced meat and bones on the ground are to satisfy this perverted hobby, and those squirming meat balls on the ground should be used to store things."

"You... you don't mean to want me... to stick my hand into that disgusting thing?" Imoon asked with wide-eyed eyes. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she put her hand in it.

"Don't worry, there won't be anything except some treasures and belongings. Try it, you must know that these beholders must have hidden a lot of good things." Henry said with an encouraging look.

Maybe it was the guarantee that worked, maybe it was curiosity that got the upper hand, anyway, after struggling for a few minutes, Aimon finally mustered up the courage to put his hand into the soft fleshy sac. She closed her eyes and fumbled inside, and quickly took out a few very beautiful aquamarines. This is a rare gemstone that can only be mined from the frozen soil in the Northland. It can not only be used as decoration, but also has a wide range of magical uses.

Looking at the gem with a blue halo in his hand, Aimon exclaimed excitedly: "Wow! It's really beautiful."

Kaidong glanced at the deep tunnel extending in all directions, turned around and asked Henry: "What are your plans? Judging from the size of this place, there are at least dozens of beholders living here. The passage is very narrow, and once it is discovered, it must be confronted head-on , because there is no place to hide around."

"Why confront it head-on? I have prepared a big gift for these guys." Henry poured out a large barrel of wine from the dimension bag. He pointed to the bright red drink in the wooden barrel and explained: "As I said just now, the beholder's sense of taste has deteriorated. But there are still few flavors that can be tasted, one of which is alcohol. And the bright red color of wine It can satisfy the color and taste at the same time, and I believe that once you see them, you will never let them go easily."

Yao En's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "You mean to poison these wines? To poison all the beholders here?"

The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly. Stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the dwarf's eyes. "No, poisoning is the least risqué method, and it's easy to detect. I plan to add several more spirits to it, and then mix it with some pure enough alcohol, and let the beholders drink it to their heart's content. When they are all drunk, he will rush in and catch them all."

His trick was brought from the earth. Even alcohol-tested fighters can't resist, not to mention that beholders don't get to drink often. However, since this monster's natural alcohol capacity is quite terrifying (adult beholders can drink nearly forty liters of spirits before getting drunk), so it is necessary to blend some pure alcohol with a concentration of more than 17/10 at the end.

"Are you sure there is so much wine?" Hina's face showed a suspicious expression.

Henry laughed and replied: "Hahahahaha! Of course! There are several barrels of spirits in my dimensional bag, enough to pour down more than two beholders."

He had made full preparations in advance, and directly emptied all the wine in the wine cellar of Eratan's house. Now just stealth into the heart of the lair. Then just throw these wine barrels in place and wait quietly for a while. For mages, making full use of the enemy's weaknesses is the only way to win.

Although the beholder itself is very powerful, its weaknesses are also quite obvious. Whether it's their drinking habits. Or selfish nature, are fatal flaws. It can be said that Henry made the most of his own advantages. Whether it is a large amount of spirits or a huge dimensional bag in his hand, it is not something ordinary adventurers can have.

After all, for most spellcasters, finding a large enough demiplane is not an easy task. In order to save trouble, many mages make dimensional bags when making them. Even casually connecting a demiplane with a size of only a few cubic meters will be the end of the game. Most of the dimensional bags circulating in the market are of this kind. Although the price is relatively cheap, they can't hold many things at all.

As soon as he said it, Henry immediately activated the invisibility ability of the Archmage's Staff, and carefully advanced along the narrow passage. Along the way, he carefully avoided a large number of patrolling adult beholders and Gauss beholders. There are also a dozen human priests. It seems that the power of the blind eye is stronger than imagined, after all, it is not a simple matter to be able to grant so many people magic at the same time.

After a simple exploration, Henry quickly got a general idea of ​​the floor plan of the entire lair. It has to be said that these monsters are not called beholders for nothing, although the internal passages extend in all directions. But overall it looks like a giant eye. He used the "phantom sound technique" to make some noises, distracting the human priest who stayed here, then put down a large amount of blended wine, turned around and ran towards the entrance.

The human priests who were fooled quickly returned to their place, but because they were all blind, they couldn't see the large number of wine barrels piled up on the ground. After a few minutes, the smell of alcohol began to slowly evaporate. One of them sniffed it and muttered softly: "Strange! I seem to have a smell of alcohol."

"Yeah, I smelled it too. Could it be that the true god and his people are drinking wine?" Another person echoed.

"Shut up! Stand guard for me honestly! This is not a topic you should discuss." A guy who looked like a leader reprimanded loudly. His scolding had an effect, everyone immediately shut their mouths, and continued to stand in place without saying a word. It looked as if everything had returned to calm.

However, alcohol is alcohol after all, and it is highly volatile. A few minutes later, a patrol of beholders followed the pungent smell and found the wine barrels piled on the ground. One of the very big guys excitedly said to the same kind in the beholder language: "Look! It's wine! It's great! I haven't tasted it for several years."

"It's a bit strange. We didn't find any wine when we passed by just now. Why did it pop out all of a sudden? You better be careful. Maybe there is poison in it." A Gaussian beholder reminded. Although it also wanted to take a big sip immediately, but its rationality reminded that there must be something wrong here.

The largest beholder immediately cast a zero-level magic "detect poison", and in an instant, all the wine emitted a white magic aura. "It's not poisonous! And it's all the best spirits! Ah! I can't help it!"

The voice just fell. It couldn't wait to rush up and opened its mouth wide to lie on the edge of the wine barrel, gulping down the strong wine that had been blended and had an alcohol concentration of more than ten. After a swig, the guy opened his mouth and let out a breath of alcohol, and then shouted: "Delicious! It's the first time I've had such a strong wine."

An adult beholder tried hard not to drool, but still asked worriedly, "Don't you think it's strange? Where did these wines come from?"

The beholder who had just finished drinking the spirits curled his lips in disdain. "You need to ask? It must be worshiped by those human believers. Didn't you see that they are still standing guard there?"

"Well, I can't help it either."

"Oh, my Majesty! This taste is so...

Awesome! "

...

All the beholders couldn't resist the temptation of alcohol in the end, they all rushed up and lifted the lid of the bucket and began to pour it into their mouths desperately. The boldness of their drinking is astonishing, and I am afraid that even the dragon will be willing to bow down.

After a few minutes. Each of these guys' huge main eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and one of them couldn't even fly. Obviously, their alcohol intake has exceeded the standard, which is alcohol poisoning in today's terms. You must know that mixing a variety of alcohols can accelerate the absorption of ethanol, and drink so much at one time. No matter how strong the beholder's physique is, it cannot resist the anesthesia effect of alcohol.

As time went on, more and more beholders discovered the place and joined in the swig. After just over an hour, all the drunk guys poured out in the center of the lair, and many of them even snored directly. The well-arranged alcohol trap finally took full effect, at least all the enemies have lost their fighting power.

Kaidong looked at the scene inside the crystal ball. With a face full of surprise, he asked: "How is this possible?!! Is it really so easy to get drunk when several kinds of wine are mixed together?"

"Of course, my friend. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself after the adventure is over. Alright, let's get ready, now it's our turn to act." Henry said, holding the crystal permanently blessed with "farsightedness" The ball was put away, and at the same time, the long knife was drawn to prepare for the fight.

"Aha. Slaughtering monsters that are defenseless, I love this scene." Aimon blinked mischievously and said. As a thief, she doesn't like to fight people head-on.

"Don't be careless, those beholders should not have mutants like the eyes of the nest mother and the eyes of the elders, not to mention that the blind eye that claims to be the true god does not know where it is." Henry said that he could resist the eyes. The activated shield of the magic ray was taken out. Used just in case.

After all, the enemy is a terrifying monster that can bestow magical powers on believers. If it is really its own power, then its combat effectiveness will definitely not be inferior to that of a demigod. In particular, there are many kinds of mutants of the beholder. God knows what kind of weird talent this guy will acquire.
