Chapter 684: Mastermind

About half a mile away on the left, the rift valley there is wider.
Raistlin observed carefully and discovered that the rift valleys were not one, but two. They interlaced each other to form an irregular "X" terrain. It was only because of his position that he was blocked from view and could not see the whole picture.
The intersection of the two rift valleys is a large lava lake.
A huge black rock stands in the middle of the lava lake, like a steep mountain, the highest point is close to the gap above the rift, and one side is blocked by a big waterfall, like an island in the lake.
There are several stone bridges on the waist of the huge boulder of the mountain, spanning the hundreds of meters wide lava lake, connecting the surrounding cliffs, under the background of the fog, it is like walking in the clouds.
At this moment, a spirit sucker was flying on the stone bridge and entered the mountain peak.
Raistlin's gaze followed it, and the All-Seeing Eye saw through the rock and found that a huge space had been dug out and divided into dozens of layers.
The highest floor is located on the top of the mountain, built into a gloomy palace, blocked by invisible magic power, and even the all-seeing eye can't see through it. The exterior of the palace has a unique architectural style. The walls are carved with countless ghosts, tentacles and tadpole-like murals. The painting style is gloomy and weird, exuding spiritual energy as if it were substantive.
The vastness of this spiritual energy has reached the point where it is visible to the naked eye.
It resembles a layer of luminous blue-violet light, possessing a dazzling effect, and it is like a living thing. It will produce hallucinations after a few more glances.
This is the purest power of the mind!
The palace above the mountain is like a high tower, and the power of the soul emanating from it envelopes the entire city. Many caves, stone bridges and tunnels above the cliff are also arranged with rune arrays and magic traps that correspond to them. Within the field of vision, a strange light was revealed everywhere in the city, as if entering a twisted world in a nightmare.
Raistlin was shocked secretly and withdrew his gaze.
If an outsider breaks into the city and cannot resist the erosion of this spiritual power, he will soon fall into an illusion and eventually become a slave to the psychic monster.
At the same time, triggering these magic traps will also alarm the master's brain.
Even though he couldn't see the situation inside the palace, Raistlin was sure that the mastermind of the spirit sucker must be inside!
At this time, Kui Lu sent a message and said: "Come with me."
Everyone followed her invisible force field and entered an unmanned cave not far away. There were a few gray dwarf bones lying in it, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
Raistlin carefully inspected the cave and confirmed that there were no traps.
In fact, the entrance of the tunnel where everyone comes in is located at the edge of the city, far away from the core area, and is relatively safe.
Kui Lu looked at Raistlin, "What do you think?"
"I agree with Izt's guess that Eleonto is likely to have a Saint-Order powerhouse." Raistlin glanced at Izt and replied, "But I still want to try it."
That palace is equivalent to the Mage Tower. Judging from the strength of the psychic power it emits, it far exceeds the legendary high-level, and the probability of possessing a holy-level spirit sucker is more than ninety percent.
According to the book of Weirds, the spirit sucker society is divided into four classes.
The highest is the mastermind, which controls everything in the entire community. The other psychic monsters are just extensions of its will; the second is the super psychic monster, also known as the elder psychic. These powerful psychics have six tentacles, which are better than ordinary ones. There are two more ghost suckers, and they form the presbytery that manages the city daily.
Then there are ordinary ghost suckers, the citizens of the city.
The bottom layer is a huge number of slaves.
Slaves are also divided into two levels. One is armed guards with weapons and armors, well-equipped, and forming an extraordinary army. Their bosses can follow the spirit suckers and become guards or servants; the other is laborers. Slaves, they are responsible for all the dirty work, and they are also the food for the ghost suckers.
The spirit sucker must eat at least one brain of an intelligent creature every month, otherwise it will become malnourished, become weak, or even starve to death.
Therefore, the ghost suckers will maintain the number of slaves, forcing them to mate and multiply, so as to obtain sufficient labor and food sources.
Slaves, slave armies, and ordinary spirit suckers are not to be feared.
The main brain controls all spirit sucking monsters, but they don't actually have a particularly strong strength themselves. As long as they can enter the brain pool where they are located, it is not difficult to kill.
The real danger comes from those spirit sucker elders!
There are not many super psychic monsters with six tentacles, at least they are legendary mid-level, and most of them are legendary high-level.
The author of The Book of Weirds speculates that the few elders who resist the will of the master brain may leave the city with a group of psychic monsters, swallow enough brains to transform themselves into a new master brain, and establish a brand new psychic society group.
However, most of the elders of the spirit suckers are completely controlled by the master brain and willingly serve the master brain.
The larger the size and the larger the population, the higher the probability of the birth of a strong holy rank. This is the case with Eleanor.
But there is one thing, the holy spirit sucking monster is the only one.
The possibility of two holy spirit sucking monsters being born in a city is extremely low, firstly because of insufficient resources, and secondly, the main brain will not allow situations beyond its own control to occur.
Kui Lu thought about it, "You can try, but only one chance."
What she meant was that once the battle started and the mastermind was alarmed, it would pass the situation to all the spirit suckers and protect the palace heavily. Especially the holy-ranked spirit sucker who doesn't know where he is, the main brain is aware of Raistlin's purpose, and will never let the holy-ranked powerhouse leave his side.
"One time is enough."
Raistlin nodded calmly, "I will be responsible for leading the Holy Order Spirit Sucking Monster out of Eleanto. After it leaves, I will open a portal and directly enter the palace where the mastermind is located. Ms. Kuilu, you will lead everyone. Enter the palace and kill the mastermind."
This method of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain is simple, but also very effective.
A psychic sucker will almost certainly be hit without knowing the enemy's target.
"it is good."
Kui Lu readily agreed.
She is very confident in her own strength and is not afraid to fight against a holy spirit sucker, but it is better to be able to avoid frontal combat and minimize the risk.
Raistlin looked at his teammates, "Everyone check their soul orbs."
Spirit suckers are natural psionicists who master a large number of spiritual spells. The most important thing to fight with them is to protect the soul. Previously, the team hunted down the Balo Balm. In order to avoid being controlled by the Balro Balm's mind, Izte prepared a top-grade spiritual orb for everyone, and it is now playing its role again.
The superb spiritual orb can resist one nine-ring spiritual spell or three spiritual attacks of the seventh ring and below every day.
After the battle begins, Daunsos will bless everyone with the "spiritual protection" magic, increasing the number of resistances twice.
"I don't need it."
Kui Lu smiled softly, the archmage has better protection spells.
Raistlin took out five blue gems from the Nebula Ring and handed them to his teammates, including Kui Lu.
She took a look and said in surprise: "Jumping Gems?"
"Yes." Raistlin nodded and replied: "Take it. If something is wrong, crush the gems, send them to my mirror, and leave Eleanor. My mirror will keep track of the situation outside the city and help everyone. Out of danger."
The value of the jump gem is high, and one can cost tens of thousands of gold shields.
There are many ways to use it. You can inject soul power in advance to form a teleportation rune, crush the gems and teleport it over. Rene uses this method to enter Anser's mausoleum, bypassing the spatial isolation.
It can also be used in reverse, using gems as coordinates to transport the carrier to a designated location.
The space in the gloomy region is unstable and cannot be teleported over long distances. The effective range of the jump gem has also been reduced a lot, but it is still no problem to teleport out of Eleanor.
After using it last time, Renn deliberately collected more than a dozen transition gems and finally came in handy.
Teammates are relieved when they get the jump gems.
"Ms. Kui Lu, please cover up my casting fluctuations." Raistlin held the staff and waited for Kui Lu to follow suit, and then began to stimulate the true mirroring technique on the "Stand of Endless Storm".
This ten-level spell can only be cast once in seven days. It takes one minute to cast the spell and consumes the equivalent of three nine-level spells.
Seeing that he had cast the spell for half a minute, the huge magic fluctuations had not yet subsided, she was shocked and lost her voice:
"Ten Ring Spells!"
She is a twenty-fifth-level archmage, and currently has mastered several nine-level spells. It is not until the thirty-level before she can start studying ten-level spells, which is far away.
And Raistlin is just the pinnacle of legend...
Kui Lu stared at Raistlin tightly, her purple eyes falling on the staff in his hand, and she understood in her heart that this ten-ring spell was attached to the legendary staff. Finally one minute later, Raistlin's casting was completed, and an identical Raistlin appeared.
"True Mirror Technique!"
Kui Lu saw it at a glance, and then guessed the origin of the staff, and exclaimed: "It turned out to be'Magic Storm, Endless Spellcaster'! You actually got Endless Storm. This is a staff that many spellcasters want to have in their dreams. , Where did you get it?"
Female Zall's eyes flashed, her beautiful face was full of envy.
She also has a legendary magic item, the "Silver Moon Robe" she wore on her body. It possesses many powers, but it is mainly used for protection. Whether it is fame or power, it is far inferior to Endless Storm.
"I paid a huge price in exchange for it, madam." Raistlin expressed his meaning in a vague manner.
Kui Lu realized it immediately and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't grab your staff."
The duration of true mirroring is one hour.
Raistlin didn't want to waste time, so the real mirror nodded at everyone, and inspired the rainbow cloak to disappear.
The true mirror image returns along the same path in stealth.
He kept flashing, and it took only two minutes to return to the gray dwarf mine a few miles away from Eleanor. The psychic sucker is still in the mine to supervise the workers. Even now, it has not given up its previous suspicions, and is in the mine Unleash exploratory search everywhere.
Raistlin's true mirror image quietly lifted the rainbow light cloak, and instantly replaced it with the five-ring invisibility technique.
Then, he stood in a corner of the mine and took a look at Ling Su Wei.
The spirit sucker suddenly turned his head.
It made a mental leap to close the distance with the true mirror image, and without hesitation, it raised its hand and instantly cast a spell.
Psionic shock wave!
Snapped!
A burst of invisible psychic power spread out like lightning, with a dual attack of spirit and substance, covering a fan-shaped area tens of meters long.
The real mirror image is exposed.
The four tentacles of the spirit sucking monster twitched together, and the gray pupils were full of aura, and the mood was quite excited, as if they had won a victory in a patient competition and finally tracked their prey.
It reacts extremely quickly, and its mind is locked in the true mirror image of Raistlin, with a little fingertip.
Mind blast!
This is the best killer of the spirit sucker. Almost all the spirit suckers devote a lot of time and effort to master it. Mind Blast is a five-ring spell, which produces a strong mental impact in an instant, directly into the enemy's soul, and if the mental protection is not enough, it may even blow its head.
It is the first level of the legend. It has upgraded the Mind Blast to the sixth ring. Even in Eleanor, it is one of the most proficient Mind Blast.
But in the next instant, its eyes froze.
The Mind Blast hit the opposite human, but it seemed like a breeze, without a trace of effect. The result of the explosion of the head in the imagination did not appear, and even failed to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting.
A dark green ray responded to the psychic explosion.
Dissociation!
A transparent psychic shield emerged from the psychic monster, and at the same time, it waved its hand to summon a smooth mirror to block it in front of it, bounce the dissociation ray.
The ghost behind the mirror disappeared.
It realized that this human spellcaster was powerful and far superior to itself, and immediately decided to flee. It uses a mind jump to teleport to the other side of the mine, but when it completes the jump, it finds that the enemy is gone.
Without waiting for it to find the enemy, it sensed magic waves from above its head.
The spirit sucker has a full field of vision, and can see all angles without turning his head. A huge fist condenses and forms, struggling to slap it down.
Bigby grabbing the palm!
In the danger, the spirit sucker remained calm, casting his second best spell at the fastest speed, summoning the astral guard.
This spell cannot be instantaneous like Mind Blast, but it only takes half a breath to complete. The Astral Guard is a powerful monster summoned from the astral realm. The tall body is extremely tough and powerful, comparable to a storm. A giant, enough to block the giant palm on top of his head.
However, its spell was interrupted.
A sense of chaos in time and space made the summoning of the astral guard fail, and it was too late for the mind to jump.
In the shocked eyes of Ling Suguai, the giant palm fell down.
With a bang, the entire mine quaked, and the spirit sucker fell to the ground and fell into a stone pit. With a quick grasp of the giant palm, he held the dizzy psychic monster in his palm, exerted his strength, and instantly squeezed its psychic shield.
Snapped!
A mass of flesh and blood flowed out between the fingers of the giant palm.
Only then did the gray dwarf slaves in the mine realize what had happened. They saw the mirror image of Raistlin, and screamed in horror, throwing down the mining and fleeing.
The real mirror did not hunt down the gray dwarves, but let them run away.
He pretended not to know that the spirit sucker had passed everything he had experienced before death to the main brain, and searched on the corpse.
In the city of Eleanor, almost at the same time that the true mirror image was discovered by the spirit sucker, the palace issued a burst of psychic screams. At the upper level of the city's rift valley, more than a dozen ghost suckers appeared, flashing quickly in mid-air, leaping into the tunnel again and again, and hurried to the mine.
Raistlin and his teammates hid in the cave, secretly observing the movement of the city.
"They passed." Kui Lu whispered.
"hold on."
Raistlin shook his head slowly, he did not sense the breath of the holy spirit sucker.
Among the dozen or so spirit suckers rushing to the mine, there are two elders, both of which are high-ranking legends, but they are still far from the holy ranks.
With the strength shown by the true mirror image, the main brain will not immediately send a holy rank powerhouse.
A few minutes later.
The first spirit sucker arrived at the mine, saw the true mirror image from a distance, and immediately cast a spell attack.
It is only a high-level Psion, because it is so close that it arrived the fastest, the true mirror image of Raistlin allowed it to release a psychic blast at itself, then shot a few spears of light, and exploded the shield within a second. Fry its body into frothed meat.
The scene of the real mirror killing of the high-level psychic monster was seen by several psychic monsters who rushed to the back.
Immediately, they dispersed and besieged the enemy.
The true mirror image frowned, as if he hadn't expected so many spirit suckers to come, but he was not afraid, and summoned twelve mirror images to start the battle.
Spells burst in the mine, and the light of psionic energy, arcane and flame bloomed.
Explode, cut, restrain, counter!
Various spell effects filled this space, and the mine shook violently, showing signs of collapse.
After this spell battle started, the spirit suckers discovered something was wrong. This human wizard seemed immune to psychic spells, and the various mental attacks they released had no effect at all. His mirror images are also very unique. Each mirror image has self-awareness, which is not much worse than the strength of the body.
Fifteen spirit suckers faced twelve mirror images, three more in number, and there was no way to fight back.
Less than half a minute.
Most of the spirit suckers died. Only two spirit suckers elders and three legendary mid-levels were still alive, but none of the mirror images were reduced.
They are surrounded by twelve mirror images, struggling to support them, and they will soon be wiped out.
All this information is passed to the mastermind.
Of course, Raistlin's body also knows the battle situation well.
In the city of Eleanto, a terrifying and tyrannical aura suddenly appeared, covering the entire rift valley overwhelmingly, and all the tens of thousands of slaves in the city squatted on the ground, shivering.
"Holy rank spirit sucker!"
Raistlin, Kwai Lu and his teammates hiding in the cave looked solemn, but also a little bit happy.
The holy order spirit sucking monsters dispatched also means that the opportunity has come.
The real mirror images in the mine immediately escaped from the battle and fleeing with six mirror images. The remaining six mirror images continued to attack the three legendary spirit suckers that were still alive. After leaving the mine, the six mirror images scattered and fled, choosing different directions, and leaving fluctuations along the way.
The true mirror image did not escape too far, condensing his breath, hiding in a cave with a rainbow cloak.
Soon after they left, the holy spirit sucker arrived.
The six mirror images remaining in the mine saw a terrifying psychic monster, which was taller than the elder psychic monster, and its thin body exuded vast psychic energy, which was almost condensed into substance, which was suffocating.
The battle in the mine started.
The six mirror images have almost no resistance to the holy spirit sucking monsters. The Will of Truth only allows the mirror images to last longer, and within a few seconds, one mirror image is killed.
Taking advantage of the mirror image to drag the holy spirit sucker, Raistlin nodded slightly to everyone, first summoned twelve mirror images, and then began to cast the spell.
After a few seconds, a portal appeared in front of him.
The place opposite the portal was the palace. Kui Lu passed through it for the first time. The teammates went in without hesitation, and Raistlin's twelve mirror images quickly followed.
The palace is extremely empty, with thousands of square meters.
The surroundings were dimly lit and the air was humid, like a nest of wild beasts, Raistlin faintly smelled of sea water. No sound was heard in the Voice of Everything, the palace was silent like death, and the only building was the huge pool in the middle of the ground.
The circular pool is more than fifty meters in diameter, and it is filled with liquid, like a small lake.
The lake is deep, emitting a bright blue-violet light.
Brain pool!
Raistlin lifted his spirits, and the book of weirdness records that the mastermind of the psychic must be immersed in the brain to survive.
Kui Lu held a silver sword and flashed to the edge of his brain.
The teammates gathered around.
Raistlin also flashed to the edge of the pool for the first time, looked down, and was stunned. He thought about many possibilities, such as the main brain is very powerful, or there are many spirit sucker guards around the brain cistern, a protective array, etc., but never thought of this situation.
The brain is empty, nothing!
Even as stated in the Book of Weirds, the offspring of the nymphs cultivated in their brains are larvae of nymphs that look like tadpoles, and there are hundreds of them, but there is not even one.
Raistlin's eyes were astonished, thinking that he had read it wrong.
However, with the All-Seeing Eye and the Soul Eye, plus the will of truth and the key to the door, there is almost nothing to hide or disguise in front of his own eyes. He looked at the dancer of the moon and found that the great mage was equally astonished. Obviously , She also did not find the mastermind.
"Where is the mastermind?" Izt asked in surprise.
The teammates also searched everywhere, using various means to search the palace, but found nothing.
Raistlin and the twelve mirror images searched the palace but found nothing.
He sensed that four of the six mirror images had been eliminated in the mine, and only two were still delaying time, but the strange thing was that the holy-rank spirit sucker did not seem to be summoned by the main brain, and it was still unhurried. Fight with the mirror image.
wrong!
Raistlin suddenly realized that the holy spirit sucker probably didn't know that the palace was invaded, but that it knew the situation in the palace very well, so he didn't rush back to rescue him.
Eleanor couldn't have no mastermind, otherwise the spirit sucker in the city would have disintegrated long ago.
The main brain cannot leave the brain cistern easily, and the range of motion is very limited.
It must be in this palace!
But why can't I see it? The spirit sucker mastermind did not attack himself and his teammates...
Suddenly, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Raislin's heart was shocked, and his pupils shrank sharply.
He had experienced this situation before, but it was not Raistlin, but Ryan. In that little plane without a name, it was the most terrifying battle he had ever encountered in his life. It was like a nightmare and he would never forget it. .
Time jumps!
The main brain has jumped into time!
A terrible name appeared in Raistlin's mind, making his soul tremble, even if it was not the person he thought, he was definitely not an opponent.
"escape!"
Raistlin yelled, "Crush the jump treasure..."
Before he finished shouting, a figure appeared on the water in the brain pool. Everyone didn't even have time to see the other party's appearance. The moment the other party appeared, the time in the palace stopped.
