Every illithid is a natural user of psionic energy, but only some of them who have carefully studied their psionic power can fully utilize the power of psionic energy and become a special profession among their tribe - psionics.
And these psychics all have the ability to see through invisibility.
That is, the ability to see through detection sensors.
Exposed!
But it doesn't matter, after all, we didn't plan to sneak the entire process from the beginning.
Let the fight begin!
However, what I didn't expect was that this illithid obviously didn't have the mentality of a strong person. When it saw a mixed team composed of a group of players and elven dwarf elites rushing towards it, it turned around and ran away.
Before the mixed team could pursue them, a group of weird low-lying figures appeared around the mixed team, followed by some kind of chirping noise and some kind of sound of water escaping.
"It's the kuo-toa."
Kuo-toa are generally small in size and have two legs. Their thick webbed feet support their flat bodies and walk semi-upright like real manta rays.
There are various shields or weapons of different styles supported by various materials on the short but powerful hands.
He glanced at the murlocs and gently explained to everyone.
"The ones holding the shields are the Kuo-Toa soldiers. They are very fragile and only have 18 points of health. The ones holding the pincer staffs are the Kuo-Toa Whistlers. They can clamp one on one, but it is difficult to break free if they are not strong enough.
And they are quite fleshy, I estimate they have at least 60 points of blood."
Surprisingly, he was not the only lucky person who accidentally found this illithid camp. During this period, he occasionally saw some players or indigenous elves and dwarves coming over.
But the consequences are, without exception, tragic.
Among the Kuo-Tao fish-men, a fish-man holding a weird staff that looked like a dead branch and decorated with shells and pearls particularly attracted ridiculous attention.
"The most special fish-man is their fish-man sacrificial sister..."
???
Everyone looked at him in an instant, wondering if he had exposed some special XP system.
"Why are you looking at me like that! I mean she is the strongest. I have seen her use a five-ring spell called group healing. If we don't kill her first, we will all die."
"Oh~ So that's it..."
"Oh~ So that's it!"
Let the fight begin!
As warriors of an intelligent race, the Kuo Tao people naturally have their own means of survival.
Although ordinary Kuo-Toa have very thin blood and are almost broken by a single touch for today's players and these elite mixed teams, the shields they hold are all covered with some unknown mucus.
As long as the weapons of melee professionals are successfully blocked by their shields, regardless of whether they penetrate the defense value and cause damage, the weapons will always be stuck to the mucus on the shield, causing them to use additional strength to withdraw the weapons after each attack.
break free.
Coupled with the fact that they are just as numerous as cannon fodder, it somewhat puts the melee professionals at a loss.
And those Kuo Tao whippers are extremely troublesome for spellcasters.
The caster's power is slightly weaker.
Of course, they would not be stuck in weapons by the shields of ordinary Kuo-Tao fishmen, but they looked a little embarrassed when faced with the pincers of Kuo-Tao whippers.
In real battles, no one follows the Mage-Muslim pattern of having the mage at the back and the warrior at the front.
Everyone knows that Master's spells are difficult to pick up, so who would watch helplessly as the enemy's spell caster secretly attempts to use his ultimate move?
Therefore, the ability to maintain spellcasting despite the interference of the opponent's attacks is also a necessary quality for a mage.
This ability is generally linked to physical fitness, but when faced with a pincer that has the same hard control effect as grappling, in addition to physical fitness, it must first pass a strength test.
Under this situation, almost no mage could continue to cast spells, and was chased and hacked by those Kuo Tao whippers.
If those melee professionals didn't know how to cover for their teammates, I'm afraid they would be GGed in a short time.
Fortunately, the mixed team of dwarves and elves maintained their basic appearance. They were carefully selected and truly elite.
Facing the siege of a group of Kuo-Toa fishmen, each of these aboriginal people looked like war gods.
On the contrary, these players were randomly found by Li Wen, and there were no restrictions except for some professional requirements. It was difficult to guarantee that some of them had uneven levels, and they looked thrilling under the siege of fishmen.
But since they have Poppy's mission, they don't want to get entangled with the fish-men in front of them.
They just want to find the hidden illithids.
I don't know if these illithid monsters are cautious by nature, or they are really not too strong. The fight here is lively, and none of them can be seen.
"Cover us to find those illithids."
It was so outrageous that he temporarily acted as the leader of the team.
He took the lead in this operation, and he knew the home of the illithid better than anyone else.
Moreover, the mixed team of aborigines received orders before setting off to cooperate with the actions of the Chosen Sons as much as possible, and at this time they all followed his command without any dispute.
"Go to the brain bank! That's where they keep the most valuable brains. If there is a threat, they will definitely show up."
Under the leadership of Ju Liwei, the mixed team moved with difficulty amid the siege of the murloc army.
Fortunately, the dwarf's war mad professional is as powerful as a god of war, and is almost indestructible when his two axes clear the way.
And sure enough, when they noticed their route of action, the figures of three illithids emerged from several dark corners.
Some kind of milky white magic halo pours out from near their octopus heads like spreading smoke rings.
Fascinate humans.
Command technique.
Crazy crown.
Fear.
The spells contained in these mages' spell lists are cast by them in similar forms using spiritual energy, and they try to control the members of the mixed team.
As psychic masters, they originally have a higher spell hit bonus for this path to resist the attribute saving resistance of normal professionals, which is the so-called spell penetration.
However, when anyone in the mixed team was touched, the spell's penetration ability was weakened to a certain extent by a force field emitting red light.
The breastplate made of magic heart ore effectively protects everyone in the mixed team.
Players are welcome to see the illithid appear.
Going to the brain bank is just to attack the enemy and save them. Their goal from beginning to end is these illithids, which is the mission target designated by Lord Bobby.
"Mistake Step!"
The mage player who doubled as a paladin jumped towards one of them.
The Ranger player drew his bow and arrow, "I'm bullying the weak!"
"Just stand there and don't move. I'll give you a fireball technique."
Looking at the players rushing over like crazy, you can even see some confusion in the big gray eyes of the activated illithids.
Why do these people completely ignore the effects of psychic spells?
This is unreasonable!
Most of the professionals I encountered in the past were unable to withstand the siege of the murloc servants, and a few stronger individuals were often defeated and captured under the influence of their spells and the siege of the murlocs.
Not to mention that this is their home field. The weakening of various attributes of normal professionals in this environment is only a minor problem. Even some saving throws will be at a disadvantage and their performance will be abnormal.
Why! Why!
Fortunately, although the spells used to attack the enemy have little effect, the spells used to protect oneself or generate some defensive force fields can still be effective.
The illithid awkwardly spread its legs and tried to run away. Under its silent command, the surging murloc servants quickly rushed over to try to block the players' footsteps.
However, these players don't want to go back alive.
"You go first, we'll cover you!"
It’s outrageous to give instructions to the aboriginal mixed team in the spiritual link.
The basic purpose of collecting information has been achieved, and these aborigines can withdraw.
And as long as they entangle those illithid monsters and bite them to death, and even touch them once, they can be considered as completing Lord Poppy's mission.
As for going back alive... I'm sorry that the five-hour journey is too far, and they don't want to walk back by themselves.
On the contrary, it will allow these aboriginal elites to go back alive, and maybe even increase their mission score~ Hee hee!
A group of mixed aboriginal teams whose ideas had not yet changed looked at the Chosen Sons who seemed to be charging towards the enemy line heroically. Tears welled up in their eyes, and they had the urge to live and die with them.
"Come back..."
Li Wen, who was also in the spiritual link, shouted helplessly.
Silly kids! Players can still live if they die, but if you die, you are really dead.
Larika, who was watching in a sane state, also consciously ordered through the spiritual link: "Come back, maybe they will come back faster than you."
In fact, it is either impossible or certain.
Following the outrageous sudden death, the detection sensor lost its target and disappeared naturally. Li Wen went straight to the resurrection point.
Let me see what's going on in the minds of those illithid monsters...
