Chapter 683: The city of ghost suckers

In the hot cave, Raistlin and his team moved forward quickly.
The terrible high temperature is like a sea of ​​fire, and everything you can see is red. Everyone is blessed with ice shield or blisters. Raistlin also blessed everyone with advanced flame resistance, which is used to resist the ubiquitous heat and flame.
After a while, the temperature gradually dropped and he was about to leave the cave.
"Wow..."
The magma pool on the side suddenly churned, and a lava salamander, several meters long, rushed ashore, opened its mouth in the blood basin, and sprayed flames at Raistlin and others.
A dark green ray shot from Raistlin's fingertips.
call out!
This legendary lava salamander, the huge rock-like body seemed to have been weathered, turning into large patches of flaming red powder and floating away.
The team continued to move forward.
From beginning to end, Raistlin didn't look at it more, and the timing of casting the spell was just right, as if it had deliberately jumped out and hit the dissociation technique.
This is not the first time everyone has been attacked. Raistlin takes action every time, in the same way, killing the enemy with a dissociation technique.
Even so, the teammates still admired Raistlin's vigilance.
As an archmage, Kui Lu has much higher magic knowledge and eyesight than ordinary people, and he can see how superb Raistlin's spellcasting skills are.
The disintegration technique originally only had six rings. Raistlin not only raised it to the eighth ring, but also reduced the casting speed to within three seconds. It was accurate and fast, predicting the target point, and its power was far beyond normal, almost reaching the eighth ring. The upper limit of the power of the spell, even if you change it to yourself, you can't do better.
Every time I watch Raistlin perform the dissociation technique, in the eyes of Kui Lu, the process is almost like art!
If she hadn't seen Ren with her own eyes, it would be hard for her to believe that Raistlin, who has such a superb spellcasting ability, is just a clone, and the body is a combat wizard!
Kui Lu's thoughts were ups and downs, and she frequently looked at the staff in Raistlin's hand.
She had already seen through the Mithril layer on the surface of the staff and the red flame stone on the head of the staff were just a disguise, and its true face must be a legendary staff!
Any legendary staff has a great background, and it is impossible to emerge out of thin air.
However, Kui Lu hadn't recognized the origin of this staff, and was very curious in her heart. This was too attractive for a great mage to come.
Finally left the lava cave, all around it was dim.
The teammates breathed a sigh of relief.
The depressive environment in the dark region is no more disgusting, and it is more comfortable and less dangerous than the harsh, high temperature like the plane of fire in the lava cave. Soon after leaving the cave, the temperature dropped rapidly and quickly became a low temperature.
This is the characteristic of the lower layer of the dark region, which is either extremely hot or extremely cold, switching between two extreme environments.
Raistlin, who possesses the key to the door, is very sensitive to spatial location.
He walked all the way, according to the rocky soil and temperature inferred that the straight-line distance from the lower layer of the gloomy region to the surface was more than a hundred miles. In the previous life, this was an incredible depth.
The lower layer of the gloomy region has the smallest area and the most dangerous.
Attacks are encountered every few miles. The underground creatures that attack the team are much stronger than the middle and upper layers. Legendary level is not uncommon. Among them, there are many strange creatures that everyone has never seen before. They are hard to defend. The other soul hunting team entered the lower level, and the entire army would be wiped out if they couldn't go far.
The terrain of the lower level is also very complicated. Both Kuilu and Izte have been to Eleanor, but have also been lost many times.
After two detours, I finally found the right direction.
"Stop!"
Kui Lu's voice resounded in everyone's heart.
The Dancer of the Moon stopped and made a gesture to everyone. Almost at the same second, Raistlin also noticed the anomaly, and the Voice of Everything heard the movement from ahead.
Jingle bell...
This is the sound of metal and rock colliding, one after another from the wind, mixed with rough screams, it is easy to recognize that it is a kind of dwarf language.
"Gray dwarf slave." Kui Lu whispered, "I haven't been to Eleanor. I just observed it once from a distance. The city that was originally a gray dwarf was conquered by a group of psychic monsters hundreds of years ago. The gray dwarves of the city have all become their slaves."
Raistlin and others nodded to express their understanding.
His Voice of All Things traced to the sound source and heard more gray dwarves' voices. Unsurprisingly, there was a gray dwarf mine in front of him.
This also means that Eleanor is not far away.
Stopping in place for a while, Kui Lu waved her hand: "Keep walking, but be careful."
Izt was at the forefront.
His figure was almost cut into the shadows, and the two war blades in his hand reflected faint green light, like two groups of ghost fires in motion.
Athena followed behind the demon hunter.
Then came Kwai Lu and Raistlin, Barak and Dawnsos fell behind the team.
It didn't take long for the gray dwarf miner's voice to get closer and closer. When he turned the corner of a tunnel, a huge mine suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Hundreds of gray dwarves dug tunnels on the rock walls. They laid railroad tracks in the tunnels. I don’t know how deep the tunnels are. From time to time, mine carts are pushed out along the tracks, filled with ore, and pushed into the middle of the mine. One of the larger minecarts fell in.
Most of these gray dwarves only have a rag around their waists, their faces are numb, and their eyes are hollow.
They are working like walking dead.
Only when he pushed the minecart to the middle of the mine, there was a hint of vitality in his eyes, but that was an expression of fear.
The target of their fear is a humanoid creature floating next to a large minecart.
Spirit sucker!
The pupils of Raistlin and the others contracted, and the moment they saw this spirit sucker, they immediately looked away. That stunning glance had already left a deep impression on him.
This spirit sucker is exactly the same as that recorded in the "Weird Memo". It looks like a half-human with an octopus head. It has no hair on its head, smooth skin, and four serpentine tentacles growing around its mouthparts. .
It is about the height of a human being, wearing a black and purple magic robe, and its natural floating technique makes it levitate half a meter above the ground, and its long back swing hangs down, covering its feet.
The faintly flowing air around his body made its robe flutter without wind, which was a wave of huge spiritual power.
Its perception is extremely keen.
Raistlin and the others glanced at it hundreds of meters away, and were immediately noticed by it. They turned their heads and looked back, but saw nothing.
Its figure flashed and appeared in front, only tens of meters away from Raistlin and others.
Mind jumping!
The spirit sucker scanned this corner, but still didn't find it.
Its gray bubbling eyes flashed with doubts, and the chin's tentacles were also unconsciously twitching, suddenly lifting a claw-like palm with four curved and sharp fingers on it, releasing towards the invisibility of Raistlin and others. An exploration technique.
However, there was no change in the corner and nothing was detected.
The spirit sucking monster stared coldly for a few seconds, finally put aside his doubts, returned to the middle of the mine through a spiritual jump, and continued to supervise the work of the gray dwarf slaves.
In the location it had searched for with exploration techniques, six figures were hidden under a transparent force field.
This is the invisible force field cast by Kui Lu.
An archmage made a move, and it was definitely not only the legendary elementary spirit sucker that could see through it. The rock hanging in the hearts of the teammates fell to the ground. However, Kui Lu remained vigilant, did not act rashly, and told everyone: "Don't move, wait."
She maintained the invisible force field, neither moving nor teleporting away.
Everyone didn't go to see the psychic monster.
There was only the sound of gray dwarves digging in the mine, and everything was business as usual. However, after a few minutes, the spirit sucker suddenly disappeared again and jumped closer.
It's back again!
A series of spiritual spells fell in this area and kept searching, and also expanded the search range.
Raistlin was awe-inspiring. The book of weirdness records the character of the ling-sucker in detail. Almost every ling-sucker is suspicious by nature, cunning and cautious. Anything unusual or disturbing must be traced to the end. Give up easily.
They are true to things, and they are also true to enemies.
Now I finally saw it.
Fortunately, there was a huge gap between the strength of this spirit sucker and Kui Lu, no matter how suspicious and cautious, he couldn't see through the methods of a great mage.
Looking back for the second time, it still didn't get the result, so he went back and continued to supervise the work.
"go."
Kui Lu's voice sounded in the hearts of everyone, a very cryptic wave of magic, and another layer of soundproofing force field inside the invisible force field. Everyone felt their bodies float and move involuntarily in mid-air.
There was no sound when everyone moved, and even the air was not disturbed.
The Moon Dancer controlled the whole team to bypass the psychic monster, passed through the mine field close to the edge, and entered a wide tunnel.
The whole process took a few minutes.
Soon after entering the tunnel, Raistlin sensed that the spirit sucker had another mental leap, appeared in the previously hidden position of his party, and began to search for spells, as if to search the entire mine.
"It still refuses to give up!" Raistlin sighed inwardly.
After far away from the mine, the sound of mining gradually became inaudible.
Kui Lu confirmed that the spirit sucker did not catch up, and there were no magic traps or ambushing enemies around, so she removed the spell.
"It's really troublesome, why don't you just kill it?" Barack murmured.
The Moon Dancer glanced at the Paladin Ranger, and was about to speak, but Raistlin spoke first.
"All the individuals in a sucker community are connected to the main brain. They have a collective consciousness, just like every finger on the palm." Raistlin explained: "A sucker saw us, so every soul The suckers have seen us."
The teammates were stunned.
Kui Lu looked at Raistlin with admiration and smiled: "You know so much about psychic monsters, not many people in the gloomy area know what the main brain and psychic monster are really related to."
"It's also the first time I know." As if to confirm her words, Izte shook his head, "No wonder I only ran into one spirit sucker back then. As soon as I approached the city, ten spirit suckers were chased and killed. "
Raistlin replied: "I want to get the devil soul of the mastermind, so naturally I have to do some research first."
"Is Eleanor coming?" Athena asked.
"almost."
Izte pointed to the front of the tunnel, and said with lingering fears: "Walk a little further and you will see Eleanor. Back then, I just looked at it from a distance and then ran away."
Kwai Lu cast a spell to make the team invisible, and then move on.
This is a long and winding tunnel.
For every few hundred meters, there will be forks in the road. There are two forks or three leading to different directions, some up and some down, intersecting spirals, like a huge three-dimensional maze. Izt can't remember the route back then, but Kui Lu can't help it. Through the traces of footprints on the ground and the wave of magic, he easily found the right direction.
After traveling in the tunnel for more than half an hour, there were loud bangs in front of him.
The further you go, the louder the sound.
Raistlin recognized that it was the sound of a large amount of water splashing from a high place, like a waterfall, but it was accompanied by huge explosions from time to time.
Gradually, the bright red light in front entered the tunnel.
When everyone walked to the end of the tunnel, their vision was blocked by a large white mist, and a gust of air blew their fingers, and the eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a huge rift valley with no end in sight.
I don't know how high it is above my head, at least thousands of meters, like the real sky.
Countless cold river water poured down from the top of the rift, and fell into the lava lake under the rift, forming a large waterfall with a drop of nearly a kilometer.
The river water collides with lava, hot and cold clash, and a steady stream of mist floats up, moistening the shimmer moss on the cliffs on both sides of the rift valley. When the energy accumulates to a certain level, a big explosion occurs in the lava lake under the rift valley, which engulfed the billowing magma and spewed out a spectacular fire column.
A city is located on the cliff of a rift valley. The black rock walls on both sides have been excavated into hundreds of caves, which are connected by tunnels and stairs, spiraling upwards layer by layer, and erected between the cliffs. A rock bridge was built to build a three-dimensional city.
The exit of the tunnel where the Raistlin Six are located is in a cave.
The location of the cave is below the middle level of the cliff, and there is a wide platform in front of you, connected to a stone bridge leading to the opposite cliff.
When they walked to the edge of the platform in stealth, they were immediately shocked by this magnificent city.
"This is Eleanor!"
Izt sighed in a low voice. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He and Kui Lu were not here for the first time, but they were still shocked.
Raistlin quickly scanned the city built on a cliff, and quickly found more information. Most of the caves lived in gray dwarves, as well as stone blinds and underground gnomes. There were as many as seventy to eighty thousand. , They are all slaves of the ghost suckers, each performing their duties, the whole city is operating like a sophisticated machine.
However, the figure of the spirit sucker is rare.
Occasionally, one or two spirit suckers can be seen coming out of a hidden residence. They live in the upper part of the city. When they travel, they all fly in the sky with levitating techniques, or jump directly to their destination.
According to the introduction in the strange book, the higher the position in the ghost city, the higher the residence.
And the main brain must be in the core area of ​​the ghost city.
Raistlin looked up and immediately found the target!
