After Su Lun discovered that this [death bird] was a treasure, he spent the whole night studying its other functions.
Thinking that even in that psychic alien plane, there would be very few such "mythical species" creatures.
Su Lun was afraid that the psychic wouldn't be able to come next time, so he coaxed and deceived and planned to sign a blood contract.
The black crow didn't seem to mind. He ate two pieces of rotten meat and happily agreed.
Although they cannot communicate, because they are contracted creatures, one person and one bird can communicate simply by thinking.
The intelligence of crows is not low. This [death bird] is obviously much more intelligent than ordinary crows.
Moreover, Su Lun had some experience in raising crows, and the communication went smoothly. He also figured out another function of this bird, which is "view sharing".
After signing the blood contract, Su Lun discovered that his soul was somehow involved with the bird...
Mobilizing the power of the contract is like a video connection, and the vision in the eyes of a dying bird will appear in his field of vision.
After trying it a few more times, I became proficient in mastering this new ability.
Before, he wasn't sure about hunting the [Mind Flayer], but with this black crow, he was more sure.
It is a true "undead" creature. Even if its body is broken into pieces, the death energy is still there, and it can be resurrected and reunited by the contractor's side.
In other words, this is an unkillable "unmanned reconnaissance aircraft".
The cost of using this ability is very small, a piece of delicious carrion, and the crow will be very happy.
Moreover, Suellen also learned some legends about this bird from Juta.
It is recorded in mythological classics that this bird of death is a messenger between the underworld and other planes of life. This is one of the most ideal contract pets for the top necromancers in ancient times. They are often accompanied by the real gods of death.
Devouring the air of death. While eating carrion, they will have a chance to acquire certain abilities of the corpse, condense them into the law of death, and become stronger and stronger.
This talent ability is somewhat similar to [Death Reaper]. It is weak in the early stage and becomes more powerful in the later stage.
Su Lun also guessed that this was the reason why he was able to channel this mythical species.
But the only problem is that this bird has a very picky beak.
Su Lun was familiar with feeding all kinds of meat, but found that it could only eat the [cursed corpse] found in the trophies.
It won't look at any other meat at all.
This also resulted in Su Lun being unable to keep it with him for a long time.
After all, there is not much stock of that kind of meat, and it will be gone after eating it.
After trying for several hours and leaving a few spare pieces of meat, he unlocked the psychic spell and sent the black crow back to another world.
Thinking about finding enough high-quality carrion in the future, I will have the "feed" to keep the birds around for a long time.
The next morning, the sun shone into the cave.
After Su Lun and Yuta repaired, they continued on the road.
About a day or two further north from the Gray Wolf tribe is the area where the "Cursed Valley" is located.
There is a forbidden area for the Daru tribe, and Yuta has never been there. He only heard the elders of the tribe mention the route.
By the evening of the next day, the two arrived at a place called "Blood Mist Swamp".
The two of them were blocked by the blood-colored mist.
Juta looked at the rough animal skin map, pointed in a direction, and said: "Not far to the northwest of the swamp is the place where our ancestors encountered the [Mind Flayer]. There should be a skull-shaped cave there."
"Um."
Su Lun nodded.
Looking at the blood mist in front of him, he had no intention of testing it with his own body.
Thinking about it, he pinched his magician's seal, the five-pointed star formation lit up, and a black crow appeared through his channel.
After feeding a piece of carrion, the death bird fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.
Su Lun's right eye flashed with light and shadow, and Black Crow's vision immediately appeared.
Although the blood mist in this swamp is confusing to the eyes, because of the heavy mist, it only covers the ground to a depth of several dozen meters.
The black crow flew up to a hundred meters, and the field of vision immediately broadened.
Then, he saw the skull-shaped cave that Juta had mentioned.
Su Lun shouted softly: "Found it!"
But he was surprised at the same time: "It can't really be a skull fossil, right? How big is this creature?"
You may not be able to see it clearly from the ground, but you can see it clearly from the sky.
It was a gray-white cave that looked like a human skull, with eye sockets and a mouth. It didn't look like a natural formation, but more like a humanoid corpse rotting on the ground. But it was too big, just
They are two eye sockets, several meters in diameter.
But just when he wanted to take a closer look, a black shadow quickly passed by in the sky, and a flying creature of unknown species swallowed the black crow into its belly.
The vision was interrupted, black mist lingered on Su Lun's shoulders, and another black crow condensed.
Su Lun fed a piece of rotten meat to the black crow to replenish his death energy.
He frowned slightly and said to Juta beside him: "Let's go. Be careful."
Yuta nodded: "Yeah."
The cursing valley runs vertically from north to south, and those from the Lu Ying Judgment Legion entered through the opening on the north side.
The [Mind Flayer] Suellen is looking for is in the south, and there is no way around this swamp.
The fog obscured the view, so the two of them walked very slowly.
In the swamp, there are [Swamp Giant Crocodiles] that are tens of meters long, [Blackwater Anacondas] that can eat bison alive, [Emperor Leeches] that can suck people dry without realizing it, and countless poisonous insects.
There are dangers everywhere in the swamp.
Before doing this, Su Lun must have been shocked every step of the way.
But now he holds a black umbrella in his hand, and his senses have expanded several times. He can easily sense and avoid the powerful monsters hiding in the mud, and also avoid some unnecessary battles.
As a druid, Jutta is also proficient in various methods of expelling insects and diseases.
Not to mention the "drone" Black Crow.
With the cooperation of the two of them, the journey went quite smoothly.
After determining the direction of the cave, they quickly arrived near the cave.
Some human adventurer equipment, firearms and weapons are scattered near the cave.
It seems that humans have passed through here recently.
There are no traces of battle, so it is most likely that it became food for monsters.
Su Lun did not approach rashly, but chose a safe place and planned to observe the situation first.
[Mind Flayers] are underground creatures that usually do not appear on the surface, let alone under the sun.
However, its mental tentacles can extend very long.
The seniors of the Daru tribe were controlled by them without knowing it when they passed by here. Then they walked into the cave and became food for monsters.
This is also the horror of the mind flayer.
Before doing this, Su Lun would probably slowly approach the Skeleton Cave to test it out.
But in that case, once discovered, they would have to fight head-on with the puppet enslaved by the mind flayer, and then kill them all the way to find its true form.
But the situation in the crypt is unknown.
Su Lun didn't think that an evil creature with high intelligence like the Mind Flayer would not have prepared a means of escape. Even if it had been beaten and alerted, the possibility of catching it would be very low.
Moreover, Su Lun didn't know how many "spiritual puppets" it had, what species it was, and what level it was.
Now that we have Black Crow, it is much more convenient.
Su Lun doesn't need to test it himself, he can just control it remotely.
The black crow was released, flew all the way, and entered the cave of the skull.
At first glance, there is a different kind of cave in this cave.
The black crow flew into the cave, flying deeper and deeper in the twists and turns of the cave, and then saw a cave village.
"There are actually so many lizardmen?"
The light and shadow in Su Lun's eyes passed by, and he saw clearly the active shadows in the light of the magic crystal. It was a lively village.
Those creatures had long tails, and he recognized them as "lizard men" at a glance.
The black crow stopped on a rock on a cliff and carefully observed everything in the cave.
This group of lizardmen numbers at least five to six hundred.
Sure enough, it was right not to rush in hastily.
Fourth-level lizardmen will have horns on their heads, making them easy to identify.
Su Lun saw several beings with horns on their heads among the group of lizard men.
And if you look closely, you can see that some of the lizardmen are still wearing human leather armor and armor.
It looks like the equipment of a "slave-catching team".
And the flesh and blood they were eating turned out to be the corpses of humans and the Daru tribe.
The scene was extremely bloody.
The heads of those corpses were punctured with bloody holes, and their brains were sucked out.
Seeing this, Su Lun realized that the Mind Flayer was here!
That kind of evil monster likes nothing more than sucking the brains of living things.
"The mind flayer actually controlled an entire tribe of lizardmen as food."
Su Lun's eyes looked slightly solemn.
If he goes head-on, he will first have to fight these five to six hundred lizardmen.
It’s hard to say whether I can beat him or not.
Even if he did fight, the mind flayer would probably take the opportunity to run away.
The black crow looked for a while and found nothing that seemed to be the fifth level, so he continued deeper into the cave.
Not far away, I saw a cave emitting green fluorescence.
The source of the green fluorescence is a pool in the cave, which contains fist-sized balls.
When the black crow turned his eyes, he immediately saw several living people standing there with dull expressions. A three-meter-tall, ugly-faced terrifying monster with fleshy tentacles on its lower jaw was piercing the human skull with its tentacles.
, greedily sucking the brain matter.
And those humans who were treated as "food rations" did not struggle to resist until they died.
On the ground outside the cave, Su Lun saw this scene and immediately determined that this was the mind flayer Yao was looking for!
And at this time, the movement of the black crow flying in was probably noticed. The bearded monster suddenly looked up and saw an invisible shock wave.
Su Lun felt that the picture in front of him seemed to have a cassette, and he collapsed instantly.
Looking again, the black crows gathered on his shoulders again
The death bird died twice in a short period of time, and its death energy was severely depleted.
It was difficult to recover with food alone, so Su Lun returned it to another world.
Seeing the death bird resurrected again, Yuta on the side also asked: "How is it? Is the Mind Flayer in the crypt?"
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
While speaking, the frown and thoughtful look on his face never dissipated.
Seeing him like this, Juta was slightly worried: "Will it be difficult?"
After all, the ancestors had said that this was a very terrifying creature. The fifth-level elder had lost half his life before escaping. After so many years, the mind flayer may have become stronger than before.
"It's a bit tricky. The space in the crypt is very large and complicated, and there is a lizard-man tribe of about 600 people."
Su Lun told the situation truthfully. He also wanted to analyze the most reasonable hunting plan, "but it's also somewhat certain."
The lifespan of a mind flayer is long, several times longer than that of a human being.
But correspondingly, progression will be very slow.
Therefore, Su Lun judged that this mind flayer was about the same as before, at most the fourth level.
This can be judged from the fact that the strongest group of lizardmen is only level four.
If the mind flayer is at a higher level, then it will definitely get a stronger "spiritual puppet".
Moreover, Su Lun also discovered a "major benefit"!
The fluorescent pool that Black Crow saw in the crypt before was the mind flayer's hatching pool!
He had previously learned in detail about this evil species, the mind flayer hermaphrodites, which would lay eggs in their brains and then put them into incubation pools. This process would consume a lot of their energy.
Therefore, during the process of corruption, they will be the weakest in their lives, and their combat effectiveness will usually drop.
If it was a fourth-level lord mind flayer, then in its hatching state, it would be at most the level of an ordinary fourth-level monster.
This is the best opportunity to get your hands dirty!
After listening to Su Lun's words, Yuta knew that he always thought carefully about his actions, so he didn't say much. He just asked: "Then what are you going to do? There are six to seven hundred lizardmen there. If you really want to take action, the monster may escape."
"
"No! I won't go in through the entrance of the cave!"
Su Lun shook his head, looked sharply, and said: "The monster will not leave the incubation pool, so I will move directly to it. Its combat power is not strong, so as long as it is killed quickly, it will not be a big problem!"
Jutta listened, "How can I help?"
Su Lun said: "Not only that the Mind Flayer has other puppets hidden in it. If I can't kill him, or if I encounter other dangers, I may not be able to escape in time. When the time comes, you tear the space scroll, and I can move over in a directional way.
!”
With that said, he handed Yuta a space scroll.
He was inspired by spiritualism last night and thought of another way to escape.
That is reverse channeling.
By sealing the energy and blood contract required for spatial displacement in the scroll in advance, Su Lun can move quickly and accurately without even forming a seal.
This method can only be faster and further.
Although he had repeatedly thought about it in his mind, and the success rate of the quick-kill plan was over 90%, he was not careless.
This is the last resort.
Jutta nodded.
Su Lun had prepared everything and was ready to take action.
There wasn't much space in the crypt, and the mechanical armor wasn't flexible enough. He didn't plan to put it on, so he just took off the helmet made of excitation alloy and wore it.
Wearing a gold-patterned cloak, he also held a black umbrella of human skin with a vengeful spirit in his hand.
With all these layers of insurance, the mind flayer would have no chance of controlling him.
After everything was prepared, Su Lun suddenly took off his eight-armed spider spear costume and teleported to the entrance of the Skeleton Cave.
Almost at the same time, a wave of spiritual power swept through.
"Have you really been discovered?"
Su Lun was not surprised. He dropped several communicators and signal propagators, and then used the space spell again.
Because he had explored the terrain in the cave before, he appeared in the depths of the cave with one spatial displacement, and immediately heard the sound of dense footsteps approaching him.
Apparently the mind flayer controlled the lizard people to kill them.
Su Lun had no intention of entangled, dropped the two propagators, and teleported again.
His vision in the dark is very good, and he can see clearly even in dim mines.
The scene in front of him changed again, and he immediately appeared in the cave with green fluorescence that he had seen before.
In soul perception, a very strong soul fire appeared in front of Su Lun!
Then he glared at the monster with a face full of fleshy tentacles in front of him.
The monster was obviously seeing "space magic" for the first time, and was greatly surprised by the sudden appearance of the enemy.
The bearded monster was not slow to react. With a glare, an invisible shock wave rushed straight towards him.
"Soul shock!"
Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly. Even though he was wearing a helmet and holding a black umbrella, the feeling of being hit on the back of the head with a sap was very clear.
This kind of mental shock wave would probably be caught by a fifth-level professional.
However, Su Lun was overjoyed and loosened the communicator in his hand.
Having survived the first wave of attacks meant that, as expected, the Mind Flayer had little impact on him!
This monster is also very skilled in its killing moves. While its soul is shaking, the tentacles are like spikes piercing into its eye sockets.
A cold light flashed in Su Lun's eyes, and he avoided the tentacles like lightning.
He took out the chessboard without hesitation, intending to directly absorb the mind flayer into the chessboard space. Unexpectedly, the chessboard space failed for the first time, and ripples appeared around the mind flayer's body, and he was actually immune to it.
caught that beam of light.
At this moment, a large number of lizardmen appeared in the cave passage behind them.
This mind flayer obviously knew that he was weak in melee combat, so he summoned a spiritual puppet.
"Psychic barrier? Or is it because my mental power is stronger than mine that I am immune?"
The thought in Su Lun's mind disappeared in a flash, and he didn't panic at all, so he changed his tactics.
He pinched the surgeon's seal with both hands, and shouted softly in his heart: "Puppet Secret: Puppet Theater!"
At this moment, dense threads suddenly appeared in the cave. As soon as the seal scroll was spread out, dozens of puppets appeared out of thin air and blocked the entrance of the cave, blocking the menacing lizardmen.
And he himself rushed towards the mind flayer's body without hesitation.
Within this restricted space,
The mind flayer continued to release mental shock waves, and Su Lun felt increasingly confused.
To make matters worse, deep in the cave, there was a sudden sound like a giant snake rubbing in the cave.
"Are there any other spiritual puppets?"
Su Lun knew he had to kill quickly, and the Warlock Seal changed again: "Secret Thread Control Technique·Cocoon!"
A large number of silk threads were like spider webs, sealing off each hole.
He rushed away, his body covered in cold flames, and his eight-armed spider spear poked around the mind flayer's body.
The mind flayer's physical combat power is weak, at most the level of an ordinary third-level monster.
As soon as Su Lun got close to him, several bloody holes were punched out in an instant.
Just when Su Lunyao was taking advantage of the victory to pursue it and kill it, suddenly the friction sound appeared in his ears.
The wall formed by the silk thread was not thick enough, and a pink tentacle that looked like a blind shot pierced the wall, and the lightning hit Su Lun.
Before it hit, in an instant, the tip of the pink tentacle suddenly exploded and turned into a bloody mouth full of fangs. As soon as the throat-like muscles incited, a stream of stinky and thick acid spurted out.
came out.
Su Lun looked sharply and immediately identified the origin of this creature.
【Hell Ratchet Monster】
Detailed explanation: The fourth-level lord-level hell creature has very strong vitality. The skin tissue is extremely tough and can spew corrosive poison. The tentacles move very fast and can extend up to a kilometer. They are very sensitive to the breath of creatures and will hunt them.
All sentient beings;
"Another legendary hell creature"
Su Lun felt bad in his heart when he saw it.
What you see in front of you is just one of the first tentacles of this thing. Its main body is underground, and there are countless tentacles behind it!
You can tell by the dense rubbing sounds that the tentacle monster has surrounded the entire crypt.
Su Lun was also glad that he chose to teleport for a sneak attack and a quick kill. Otherwise, if he really had to attack head-on, even if he killed all the lizard men, he would still be killed by this thing. This dense cave was originally not for escape.
, but the moving channel of the monster’s tentacles!
If this thing comes to the fifth level, I'm afraid they will all die here.
There is no need to think about the toughness of the fourth-level lord monster. It is very difficult for Su Lun to cut it off now!
He dodged the first tentacle with a flash, and without any hesitation at all, he controlled the living corpse and swung the black scythe in one strike, cutting off one of the tentacles directly.
And his body, the spider spear, even poked seven or eight bloody holes in the mind flayer's body.
In an instant, the mental shock that was strong before disappeared immediately.
It was a planned quick kill. Except for the ratchet monster, everything was as expected.
"It's done!"
Su Lun was overjoyed. He didn't even look at it before he put the mind flayer's body into the storage space.
Once the mind flayer died, the lizard people were in a state of confusion.
But the predatory instinct of the ratchet monster was still there, and it devoured a large number of lizardmen in an instant.
The black scythe has cut off three of its tentacles, but there is nothing that can be done about its body hidden underground.
He had no hope of killing this monster.
Su Lun glanced at the fluorescent incubation pool. The fist-sized balls were naturally the eggs of the Mind Flayer.
He took out the glass container and poured it into it.
At the same time, he pressed the communicator.
Looking again, the surrounding scene changed and Su Lun had appeared on the ground.
"Go quickly!"
Before he could explain, Su Lun took Yuta and ran away.
On the ground near the skull cave behind him, thousands of pink tentacles suddenly sprouted up like mushrooms after a spring rain, swaying in the wind like seaweed.
