Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 267 Skull Crypt

This talent is somewhat similar to [Death Reaper], one eats corpses and the other eats souls. Weak in the early stage, strong in the later stage.

A blood hole was pierced through the heads of the corpses that were eaten, and their brains were sucked up.

The source of the green fluorescence was a pool in the cave, which contained fist-sized spheres.

Moreover, Su Lun also found a "major plus"!

The fourth-order lizardmen will have horns on the top of their heads, which are easy to identify.

"Any other spiritual puppets?"

Looking at it, there is nothing like a cave in this cave.

After all, there is not much stock of that kind of meat, and it will be gone after eating.

Although he has repeatedly scrutinized in his mind, the success rate of the quick kill plan exceeds 90%, but he is not careless.

Before, he wasn't sure about hunting that [Mind Flayer], but with this black crow, his confidence would be great.

It seems that, recently, humans have passed by here.

The dead bird died twice in a short period of time, and the death energy was severely depleted.

Su Lun's doubts disappeared for a moment, and he didn't panic at all. He changed his tactics and prepared to shoot directly.

This is the last insurance.

"Mental power barrier? Or is it because the mental power is stronger than me that I am immune?"

Su Lun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get through the next time, so he even coaxed and deceived him, planning to sign a blood contract.

And Yuta, as a Druid, is also proficient in various means of expelling insects and miasmas.

Su Lun whispered, "I found it!"

This kind of mental shock wave, if you change to a fifth-order professional, I am afraid that you will be hit.

About a day or two north of the Grey Wolf Tribe is the area where "Cursed Valley" is located.

Su Lun didn't dare to waste the opportunity to try, and avoided the first tentacle with a flash, without any hesitation at all, he controlled the living corpse to swing the black sickle and slashed it with one blade, cutting off a tentacle directly.

"Um."

It was difficult to recover with food alone, and Su Lun put it back into the otherworld.

However, Su Lun was overjoyed, and the communicator in his hand loosened.

That is "reverse channeling".

And the flesh and blood they are eating turned out to be the corpses of humans and Daru people!

It's hard to say if you can beat it.

But he was surprised at the same time: "It's not really a fossil skull, is it? How big is this creature?"

Yuta looked at him like this and was a little worried: "Will it be difficult?"

But correspondingly, the advancement will be very slow.

"No! I'm not going in through the hole!"

But then, once discovered, he must fight head-on with the puppet enslaved by the Mind Flayer. Then go all the way to find its body.

Seeing this, Su Lun immediately realized that the Mind Flayer must be here!

The [Mind Flayer] Su Lun was looking for was in the south, and there was no way around this swamp.

The mind flayer has nowhere to go.

It is a real "undead" creature. Even if its body is smashed to pieces, it can be resurrected and re-condensed by the contractor's side.

"There are so many lizardmen?"

Before the change, Su Lun must have taken a startling step.

This mind flayer obviously knew that he was weak in melee combat, and summoned a spiritual puppet.

It looks like the equipment of the "slave hunting team".

Su Lun was overjoyed, and before he had time to look at it, he put the mind flayer's body into the storage space.

Thinking that even in that otherworldly plane of psychics, there will be very few such "mythical species" creatures.

In the soul perception, a very strong soul fire appeared in front of Su Lun!

He glanced at the glowing hatching pool.

"Another legendary hell creature."

The black crow flew into the crypt, flew deeper and deeper in the tortuous burrow, and then saw a crypt village.

Su Lun vaguely realized what happened to the slime on the wall earlier.

Near the cave they found some human adventurers scattered with equipment and artifacts.

After determining the direction of the cave, they quickly arrived at the nearby area.

"It's done!"

Su Lun shook his head, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "The monster won't leave the hatching pool, so I'll move in space. Its body's combat power is not strong, as long as it can resist the mental attack and kill quickly, it's not a big problem."

The black crow flew up to 100 meters, and the vision immediately opened up.

Almost at the same time, a spiritual force swept across.

And his body controlled the spider spear at the same time, poking seven or eight blood holes in the mind flayer's body.

The light and shadow in Su Lun's eyes passed by, and he saw the shadows that were active in the light of the magic crystal. It was a lively village.

Although he didn't know what monster was coming, he also knew that he had to kill the mind flayer in front of him quickly, and the Warlock Seal changed again: "Silk Control Secret Technique, Cocoon!"

At this moment, in the cave passage behind him, a large number of lizardmen have appeared.

At this time, the movement of the black crow flying in was detected, and the meat-bearded monster suddenly looked up, and an invisible shock wave hit.

Looking at it again, the surrounding scene changed, and Su Lun had already appeared on the ground.

Su Lun doesn't need to try his own at all, just control it remotely.

The black crow stopped on a rock on a cliff and carefully observed everything in the cave.

Having survived this first wave of attacks meant that, as expected, the Mind Flayer had little effect on him!

On the ground outside the cave, Su Lun saw this picture and immediately determined that this was what he was looking for - a mind flayer!

Seeing that the dead bird was resurrected again, Yuta, who was beside him, also asked, "How is it, is the Mind Flayer in the crypt?"

This was the planned quick kill, except for the ratchet monster, everything was expected.

In front of me is just the first tentacle of this thing, its body is underground, and there are countless tentacles behind it!

Now that there are black crows, it is much more convenient.

While speaking, the frowning and thoughtful look on his face never dissipated.

His dark vision is very good, even in dimly lit mines, seeing objects is not hindered.

Su Lun only felt that the picture in front of him was like a cassette, and instantly collapsed.

Listening to the dense friction sound, you can tell that the tentacle monster has surrounded the entire crypt.

Other meat, it will not take a second look at all.

It was also immediately determined that the monster in front of him had a very weak physical combat power, at most the level of an ordinary third-order Warcraft!

Su Lun is also fortunate that he chose to teleport to attack and kill quickly. Otherwise, if you really want to come down from the front, even if you kill all those lizardmen, you will be killed by this thing.

Su Lun didn't feel like an evil creature with high intelligence, like a mind flayer, who would have no means of escape. Even if you can beat those mental puppets, the possibility of catching it will be very low.

Think about it, with a pinch of his warlock seal, the pentagram formation lit up, and a black crow appeared.

After all, according to word of mouth among the ancestors, this is a very terrifying creature, and she also has an instinctive fear in her heart. The fifth-order elder at the time also escaped after losing half his life. After so many years, the mind flayer may be stronger than before.

It didn't respond slowly, its eyes stared, and an invisible shock wave rushed straight.

Those fist-sized spheres were naturally the eggs of the Mind Slayer.

The swamp is full of crises.

This is the best hands-on opportunity!

The seniors of the Daru tribe were controlled without knowing it when they passed by. Then he walked into the crypt and became food for monsters.

The black sickle has cut off three tentacles, but it can't help its body hidden in the ground.

And those humans who were used as "rations" did not struggle to resist until they died.

But just when he wanted to take a closer look, the black shadow in the sky quickly passed by, and a flying creature of unknown species swallowed the black crow in one bite.

With these several layers of insurance, as long as the Mind Flayer is not Tier 6, he won't even want to control him.

After feeding a piece of carrion, the dead bird fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.

Large areas of yellow-green corrosive liquid flowed out, and the crypt was filled with a burning smell.

Then he stared at the monster with the fleshy tentacles in front of him.

Before flying far, they found a cave that emits green fluorescence.

By the evening of the next day, the two arrived at a place called "Blood Mist Swamp".

He is also looking forward to how the bird matures.

In this restricted space, Su Lun, a puppet master, is not afraid of many monsters.

Looking at the blood mist in front of him, he didn't plan to test it out himself.

He took out the chessboard without hesitation, wanting to directly ingest the mind flayer into the chessboard space. Unexpectedly, the chessboard space failed for the first time, and ripples swayed around the body of the mind flayer, and it was immune to the beam.

"Come on!"

Su Lun nodded.

This method can move faster and farther.

Inspired by spiritism last night, he thought of another way to escape.

There is no trace of battle, and it is likely to become food for monsters.

The mental shock wave that the mind flayer was still releasing, Su Lun also felt more and more dazed.

Mobilizing the power of the contract is like a video connection, and the vision in the eyes of the dead bird will appear in his field of vision.

Although the ratchet lost control, the predatory instinct was still there. The tentacles in the passage came out densely, swallowing up a large number of lizardmen in an instant.

His double surgeon Yin Yi pinched, and he shouted in his heart: "Puppet Profound Truth: Puppet Theater!"

Therefore, during the incubation process, this monster will be the weakest in its life, and its combat power will usually drop its rank.

Su Lun's eyes narrowed, and he immediately identified the origin of this creature.

Although they cannot communicate, because they are contracted creatures, one person and one bird can simply communicate with one another.

This monster, the body is terrifyingly large, Su Lun did not expect to kill it.

Before changing, Su Lun will probably slowly approach the Skull Cave to test.

Yuta nodded.

However, its mental power tentacles can extend very long.

And he himself, without hesitation, rushed to the body of the mind flayer.

It was covered by fog and the vision was not wide, so the two walked very slowly.

Then, he really saw the skull-shaped cave that Yuta said.

Su Lun rushed away, covered in cold flames, and the eight-armed spider spear poked around the monster's body.

The scene in front of him changed again, and immediately appeared in the green fluorescent cave that he had seen before.

The price of using this ability is small, a piece of delicious carrion, and the black crow will be happy to help him work.

Thinking about finding enough high-quality carrion in the future, only then will the "feed" keep the birds around for a long time.

[Mind Flayers] are crypt creatures, which usually do not appear on the surface, let alone under sunlight.

With the cooperation of the two, they went fairly smoothly.

Soon, he also figured out the other two functions of the bird, namely "resurrection" and "vision sharing".

He had learned about this evil species in detail before, and knew that mind flayers were hermaphrodites. They would lay eggs in their brains and then put them into the hatching pool. This process would consume a lot of energy.

Before they hit it, in an instant, the tip of the pink tentacles exploded, turning into a bloody mouth full of fangs. As soon as the muscles like the eyes of the throat were agitated, a stench of concentrated acid spurted out. came out.

Detailed explanation: The fourth-order lord-level hell creature has a very powerful vitality. The skin tissue has super toughness, can spit corrosive poison, the tentacles move very fast, and can extend up to a kilometer; low intelligence; very sensitive to biological breath, and will hunt all creatures within perception;

There are at least five or six hundred in this group of lizardmen.

The situation in the crypt is unknown,

It was obviously the first time that the monster saw "Space Spell", and was surprised by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

The two of Su Lun did not approach rashly, but chose a safe place, intending to observe the situation first.

To make matters worse, deep in the crypt, there was suddenly a sound like a giant snake rubbing in the cave.

After listening to Su Lun's words, Yuta knew that he had always thought carefully about what he did. He didn't say much, but asked: "Then what are you going to do? There are six or seven hundred lizardmen. If you really want to do something, you may let the monster escape. ”

The toughness of the skin and flesh of the fourth-order lord monster does not need to be a fluke, it will be difficult to cut it off!

In this situation, the black crow just came in handy.

Just when Su Lun was chasing after the victory to kill it, the sound of friction suddenly appeared in his ears.

Su Lun nodded: "Yes."

If it is a fourth-order lord mind flayer, then in its hatching state, it can be at most the level of ordinary fourth-order, or even third-order.

Those creatures were covered in scales and had long tails, and he recognized at a glance that they were "lizardmen" from the cave clan.

There is a forbidden place for the Daru tribe, and Yuta has never been there, but only heard the line mentioned by the elders of the tribe.

There is not much space in the crypt, and the mechanical armor is not flexible enough. He didn't plan to wear it, but just took off the helmet made of Invigorating Alloy and put it on. He put on a gold-patterned cloak again, and held a black human-skin umbrella with resentful spirits in his hand.

After Su Lun and Yuta trimmed, continued on the road.

He frowned slightly and said to Yuta beside him, "Let's go. Be careful."

After trying for a few hours and saving a few spare pieces of meat, he solved the psychic spell and sent the black crow back to the other world.

And upon closer inspection, some of the lizardmen were also wearing human leather and armor.

In an instant, the previous strong mental shock disappeared immediately.

Su Lun has everything ready to go.

This plan is not to say that it is impossible, but it is the last resort.

After signing the blood pact, Su Lun found that his soul was somehow implicated in this bird.

"It's a little tricky. The space in the crypt is very large and complicated, and there is a lizardman tribe of about 600 people."

Mind flayers have a long lifespan, several times that of humans.

Moreover, Su Lun doesn't know how many puppets it has, what species, and what order.

At this moment, dense silk threads suddenly appeared in the cave, and when the seal scroll was spread out, dozens of puppets appeared out of thin air, directly blocking the entrance of the cave, blocking the menacing lizardmen.

Light and shadow flashed across Su Lun's right eye, and the black crow's vision immediately appeared.

The only problem, though, is that this bird has a very picky beak.

Su Lun felt bad in his heart when he saw it.

It was a gray-white cave in the shape of a human skull, with eye sockets and a mouth. It doesn't look like a natural formation, but more like a humanoid corpse rotting on the ground.

Looking at it again, the black crow condensed on his shoulders again.

He took out the glass container and poured it into it.

If he goes head-to-head, he will have to fight these five or six hundred lizardmen first.

And the black crow of the "drone".

Saying that, he handed Yuta a space scroll.

Without having time to explain, Su Lun dragged Yuta and started running.

If the mind flayer has a higher rank, then it will definitely get a stronger "spiritual puppet".

Yuta looked at the rough animal skin map, pointed in a direction, and said, "Not far to the northwest of the swamp, is where the ancestors encountered the [Heart Flayer]. There should be a skeleton-shaped cave there."

In the swamp, there are the [Swamp Giant Crocodile] that is tens of meters in length, the Black Anaconda that can swallow bison raw, and the Overlord Leech that can be sucked dry without being aware of it. There are also countless poisonous insects.

This is also its only melee means.

Su Lun's eyes were slightly solemn.

When the mind flayer dies, the lizard people are suddenly stunned.

The scene was extremely bloody.

Because he had explored the terrain in the cave before, he accurately appeared in the depths of the cave with one spatial displacement. At the same time, he immediately heard the sound of dense footsteps approaching him.

Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly, even when he was wearing a helmet and holding a black umbrella, the feeling of being hit with a sap on the back of the head made his expression sway.

This can be judged from the fact that the group of lizardmen are the strongest only at Tier 4.

Obviously, the mind flayer controlled the lizardmen to kill them.

"Actually controlled a whole tribe of lizardmen as food rations"

Thinking of something, he changed his words and said, "But there is a certain degree of certainty."

When everything was ready, Su Lun suddenly unbuttoned his eight-armed spider spear suit and teleported to the entrance and exit of the skeleton cave.

Moreover, Su Lun also learned some legends about the bird from Yuta.

Moreover, Su Lun had also stripped away some crow breeding experience, and the communication was smooth.

"Soul shaking!"

Su Lun noticed the slippery mucus on the rock wall of the crypt before, and thought about it: "There are other methods hidden in the mind flayer. If I can't kill it, or encounter other dangers, it may be too late to escape. Come out. When you tear the space scroll, I can move in a direction!"

The fluorescent pool that Black Crow saw in the crypt before was the hatching pool of the Mind Flayer!

Su Lun was not surprised, he dropped the signal transmitters of several communicators, and then cast the space spell again.

Su Lun told the situation truthfully, while pondering tactics in his mind.

A large number of silk threads are like cobwebs, sealing all the holes.

But it is too big, just two eye sockets, several meters in diameter.

This monster's ultimate move is also very skilled. At the same time as the soul vibrates, the tentacles are like sharp spikes, and the eye sockets are pierced.

A cold light flashed in Su Lun's eyes, and he avoided the tentacles like lightning.

But now he is holding the black umbrella in his hand, and he can sense the expansion several times. He can easily perceive and avoid those powerful monsters hidden in the mud, and also avoid some unnecessary battles.

The black crow didn't seem to mind either. After eating two pieces of rotten meat, he happily agreed.

The next morning, the sun shines into the cave.

Yuta also felt that this was the best solution, "Then what can I do to help?"

After Su Lun found out that this [Slain Bird] was a treasure, he spent the whole night researching what other magical uses it could have.

Su Lun didn't mean to be entangled, dropped the two spreaders, and teleported again.

Sure enough, it was right not to break in rashly.

Su Lun fed a piece of carrion, which made Black Crow replenish his dead energy.

Therefore, Su Lun's judgment of this mind flayer is similar to that of the past, at most a fourth rank.

As soon as the black crow turned his eyes, he immediately saw several humans standing there with a dull expression. On the opposite side of them, a terrifying monster with a height of three meters and an ugly face, whose jaw rests on the tentacles of flesh, is using its tentacles to pierce people's skulls, greedily sucking brains.

It turned out that this dense cave was not formed naturally, but the moving channel of the monster's tentacles. With this thing, even if it is a few fifth-order, I am afraid that I have to die here!

In other words, this is an unkillable "reconnaissance drone".

Sealing the energy and blood contract required for spatial displacement in the scroll in advance, Su Lun can move quickly and accurately without even having to seal it.

This also made it impossible for Su Lun to keep it around for a long time.

Yuta nodded, "Yeah."

This is also the horror of mind flayers.

The two were obscured by the blood-colored mist.

Su Lun knew about feeding all kinds of meat, but found that only the kind of [cursed corpse] in the trophy would be eaten.

The vision was interrupted, black mist lingered on Su Lun's shoulders, and a black crow condensed.

It may not be visible on the ground, but it can be seen from the sky.

【Hell Ratchet Monster】

The black crow looked for a while, but did not find any suspected existence of the fifth-order, and continued to go deeper along the cave.

At the same time, the communicator was pressed.

The intelligence of crows is not low, and this [Dead Bird] is obviously much more intelligent than ordinary crows.

"It really was discovered!"

As soon as Su Lun approached, there was no way to avoid it, and several blood holes were pierced in an instant.

The silk thread turned into a wall that wasn't thick enough. A pink tentacle that looked like a blind shot suddenly pierced the wall, and lightning struck Su Lun.

"it's here!"

Even if they were beaten, the mind flayer would probably have taken the opportunity to escape.

Cursing the north-south vertical of the valley, those from the Lu Ying Judgment Corps entered from the north opening.

Although the blood fog in this swamp is confusing, because the fog is heavy, it covers the ground with a thickness of tens of meters.

The black crow was released, flew all the way, and got into the cave of the skull.

The kind of evil monster that likes to suck the brains of creatures the most.

It is recorded in the mythical books that this bird of death is a messenger to the underworld and other planes of life. This is one of the most ideal pact pets for top necromancers in ancient times. They are often accompanied by the true god of death, devouring the breath of death. While eating carrion, they will have a chance to obtain certain abilities of the corpse, condensed into the law of death, and become stronger and stronger.

On the ground near the skeleton cave behind him, thousands of pink tentacles suddenly appeared like mushrooms after rain, swaying in the wind like seaweed.

Su Lun also guessed that this was the reason why he was able to channel this myth.

(End of this chapter)

From the group of lizardmen, Su Lun saw several beings with horns on their heads. But the horns are not long, which means that there is no too tricky existence.

After trying a few more times, you will be able to master this new ability.
