After placing the sacrifices that you carefully prepared.
After some operations based on the information fed back from the depths of my soul.
In a trance.
[Fredos]'s consciousness was directly divided into two parts, one large and one small.
in.
A small portion, without even hesitation, directly crossed the not-so-short distance.
He jumped over numerous physical barriers and arrived at another remote corner of the underground city.
There.
A strong figure covered with scars was lying quietly in a dark cave and sleeping...
soon.
After confirming that the target is correct.
[Fredos]’s consciousness turned into an invisible special mark.
The brand is silently imprinted deep into the soul of the other party!
It was also from this moment on that [Fredos] automatically gained the ability to know the exact location of the opponent at all times.
Next, having identified the other party as his prey, he only needs to kill the other party within the next month.
Then approximately one-third of the power possessed by the other party will be plundered by him and thus superimposed on himself!
In the process.
There are no restrictions on the method used.
Whether it's a poisoning or a sneak attack...
It doesn't matter at all.
No taboos!
'Although there is no grievance or enmity, I feel a little bit sorry...'
'But, for the sake of our future, I can only let you die...'
Although a bit hypocritical.
However, these thoughts are indeed the true thoughts of [Fredos].
The target he chose.
In terms of film power, he is stronger than him.
In the past days, there was no conflict with him.
It can basically be said that they are strangers!
In fact.
It is precisely because of this.
【Fredos】will choose to treat it as prey after careful consideration.
after all.
The existence of those two factors directly reduces his suspicion as a murderer!
No one would have thought of it.
He will sneak attack a being who is stronger than himself and has no contradiction with himself!
Only those who are acquaintances of the other party and those who have conflicts will be the targets of suspicion for murder cases!
And this is the case.
It's basically like a random murder, and it's the most difficult type of case to investigate.
Unless special abilities and means are used to handle the case metaphysically, skip the stages of collecting evidence and get straight to the result.
otherwise.
There is basically no possibility of finding out the truth of the matter.
And how could those superior managers spend so much time just to keep a slave alive?
here.
This is a place where slaves often kill each other.
Their life and death is not something that attracts attention at all.
So, this matter.
The only risk is whether [Fredos] can keep things quiet.
What if he didn't kill him with one blow, but stayed in a stalemate for a while.
Then the patrol team that follows will definitely put him in danger!
For this reason, just in case, [Fredos] immediately prepared a life-threatening blow, intending to decide the winner with one blow after poisoning the opponent to weaken him!
If you don't succeed, you will be successful...
'May the Lord bless me...'
At this moment, at this critical moment leading to a turning point in life.
If it is the past
【Fredos】may feel confused and overwhelmed.
But when he found faith.
But he is no longer as helpless as before.
Instead, I have my own safe haven and support.
That feeling is exactly why many people are obsessed with faith.
As a person without self-confidence, I doubt my own abilities and others around me...
They need a truly capable target to back them up...
——
Decades later.
The central area of the underground city.
Inside the core area ruled by the [Illithid] tribe.
A room that was extremely luxuriously decorated and filled with a full [Illithid] style.
The [Illithid Elder] who manages the entire city is using his own custom-made small hammer with sharp gemstones.
Then, even more gracefully, he slowly stretched out his mouth organ with tentacles.
While eating, I couldn't help but show a satisfied look.
As a race that feeds on brains.
Each [Illithid] has a different preference for the brain.
For example, some like young people, some like old people, or they like the excited brains of certain races...
That feeling is essentially the same as humans enjoying eating livestock raised and treated in different ways.
I like those that are free-range, I like those that are domesticated, I like those that are bled during slaughter...
To name a few.
It may sound a bit cruel.
But in essence, it is no different from eating a fish.
Plan the fish belly, scrape the fish scales, make the fish head into minced pepper fish head, and make the fish body into sweet and sour...
Just changing the ingredients at will is the so-called perverted murder case.
All I can say is, that's it.
For the [Illithid Empire], the core issue of the source of the brain is its value.
Like those old people.
Since most of the labor force in this life has been consumed, eating is also relatively economical.
It is a food that can be eaten freely.
The young and middle-aged are used as necessary labor force and reproduction tools and cannot be eaten casually, just like the ancient cattle.
As for the brains of educated people who have read many books, and the brains of seasoned warriors who have been tempered many times...
It is a rare treasure among them!
Even those high-ranking dignitaries in the [Illithid Empire] cannot enjoy it at will.
After all, it is too troublesome to cultivate.
Not only does it take too long, but it also requires the slave's own quality to be strong enough!
Young ones like the one [Elder Illithid] is eating now.
In terms of value, it's nothing.
as a young person.
As long as the mother's body is suitable, basically, most mortal races can give birth to one or even several babies in a year. In addition, they can be eaten after birth, and there is no need to cultivate anything.
Therefore, their value is not high, and they are even relatively close to the people.
But as a high-ranking and powerful being, [Elder Illithid] naturally cannot make such a small request.
As a guy with style and taste, what he likes most are those mixed-race cubs.
[Human], [Elf], [Gith]...
The more bloodlines you mix.
In his opinion, the flavor becomes more special and layered.
to this end.
He even found many anthropomorphic monsters for hybrid experiments.
The purpose is to cultivate more delicious food.
Like now.
The food He eats is the best quality product that was born after He repeatedly tested and tormented dozens of mothers to death!
Every bite he took made him feel that eating was a supreme enjoyment!
It’s an ecstatic experience!
However.
Just when he wanted to take two more bites and continue to indulge in it.
"boom!!"
in a huge explosion.
A red mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high erupted somewhere in the underground city amidst the impact and strong wind!
That fiery red radiance, before the sound came through.
Just through the window of the room, the whole room was dyed red...
That moment.
[Elder Illithid]'s face was filled with a look of extreme astonishment!
