Chapter 101: Forbidden Terror
Perhaps the most impressive thing about this evil monster that normally lives in the underworld is the octopus head around their necks and the purple tentacles hanging from their mouths.
The condition of the corpse of the Dead-Eyed Tyrant thus fell into the eyes of Urs. The young man knew that elemental beings affected the individual nature of the things around them on the main material plane, but they also understood that psionic monsters generally did not have the ability to infect them with radiation.
"Could it be this place...... The history of the Shattered Mines isn't just about the Eye Fiends, the Dwarves of Dilo, and a possible elemental creature, but it also has some inexplicable connection to the Psicos? ”
Leaning down to take a closer look at the strangeness of the monster's corpse, Urs muttered in his mind something he might have missed before, saying that although the origin and actions of the Soul Suckers had always been mysterious, no one could deny the influence they had in the underworld.
So...... Was it those octopus-headed monsters who did anything to this place?
But what kind of moves do they have to make a Eye Demon zombie with an earth-elemental body grow greasy purple tentacles?
Some kind of unknown magical experiment?
Or is it something else...... Slowly.
Is the ground shaking again?
Thinking stopped, the young man felt the ground coming from under the soles of his shoes, and his eyes immediately lifted from the surface of the corpse of the Dead-Eyed Tyrant and looked around, and suddenly found that Thea, Koto, and Belin Lis's reactions were not much different from his own.
"Well, do you feel it?" The future Archmage Lady shrank into the tin saucepan behind the dwarven warrior with some fear, "Earthquake...... Isn't it time for another earthquake? ”
She blinked, her tone becoming more and more subtle, like a frightened kitten trying to hide herself in a cardboard box.
Urs subconsciously intended to say something to appease her, but then realized that what was about to find everyone might not be an earthquake...... He couldn't tell why it wasn't an earthquake, but there was an experience called intuition, which had been passed down from his memories of his previous life to his sense of crisis in this life, and he was now aware that the source of the movement was approaching this direction.
The source is in the same direction as the tunnel where the Dead-Eye Tyrant appeared.
The young man, the wolf maiden, the little girl, and the dwarf waited for a while—and soon, very quickly, perhaps only a few seconds later—and a new one had appeared in the tunnel where the Dead-Eyed Tyrant had floated before.
"The fire is above, the cursed underground!" A highland bloody curse erupted from his mouth, and Koto grabbed his deputy's tower shield, and his bronze bell-like eyes immediately turned to that side, "What the hell is this time?!" ”
The ghost thing in the mouth of the dwarven warrior had appeared at the mouth of the cave by this time, and seemed to prove that Urs's intuition was not unfounded.
Because its appearance was accompanied by a tremor that was a little more violent than before, and the moment it appeared, the shaking of the ground stopped instantly, and then through the darkness on the field of vision, a few wisps of goosebumps were expelled from the parts that looked like mouthparts, and then they approached the four of them a little more in a roughly wriggling manner.
As the distance between the two sides narrowed a little closer, Urs finally got a good eye out of what it looked like, and through the dark vision given to him by Shadowscales, he observed that the other party was a very large—yes, very—giant purple worm.
The giant purple worm has some awkward physical features. Its body completely occupies the entrance of the tunnel, and it looks like toothpaste squeezed out of a tunnel, but this "toothpaste" is not soft at all, and the whole body gives people a hard and solid intuitive texture, and the skin on the surface of the body is as sharp and angular as a pile of rocks.
It has no eyes, everything on its head belongs to a seven-cheeked eel-shaped mouth, there is no tongue in the conventional sense of the word, and the oral organs that replace the tongue are four slender and flexible squid tentacles, which stretch out their mouths and dance slowly in the air, dripping mucus on the ground while dancing, giving people the feeling that it is not only a gagging urge for stomach discomfort, but more of a horror and tremor that penetrates the heart.
Urs took advantage of the confrontation between the two sides to look at it for a while, and suddenly felt a few drops of cold sweat dripping from his back, and an indescribable dominant authority trying to invade his brain, so he immediately reacted to something......
Then he took a deep breath with his teeth bared and hurriedly said to the three companions beside him, "Run." ”
"What?"
"Run!"
Urs forced himself to shudder, banishing the terrible feeling from his mind through the trembling of his body, and then repeated the words he had just uttered in a loud voice, clearly intending to tell the dwarves - yes, run!
You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong!
Koto turned his head to look at him in a daze, knowing in his heart that his reckless captain was rarely afraid of anything. He may be cautious or jealous of any powerful enemy, but he is usually not afraid, not even when he had been in the temple district church in Twilight in the past, he had not bowed to despair at all.
Because of this understanding accumulated over a long period of time, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Hearthfire Clan opened his eyes wide, and suddenly he could see some problems from the young man's reaction, even if his head was weakened by the Frost Giant's big stick.
In the dwarf's surprise, Thea didn't hesitate too much about Urs's instructions, and her absolute trust caused her to hesitate for only a second after hearing the young man's words, and then she bent her body and raised her head around and around, and the bite force given to her by the giant wolf form directly and simply took the young man, the dwarf, and the little dwarf girl in the pot behind the dwarf's back to her back.
Koto was slightly frightened by Thea's move, and in a panic, he rode on the wolf's back with Urs and looked back at the place where the giant purple worm was, but his eyes happened to meet the four tentacles in the other's mouth.
The "eye contact" of his eyes instantly caused his brain to produce the same intense discomfort as Urs had just now.
"Oh my God, Mother Dedaline, the dwarven mother of the hearth!" Immediately, he shook his head in a hurry, and his eyes burst into a rough roar of horror, "I just looked at it again, and I feel that this guy's tentacles are sucking my soul!" What the hell is it?! ”
"Heart-slayer worm." Urs answered the dwarf's questions.
"What? Bugger? The dwarf was stunned.
"It's a giant worm!" At this time, Bellinglis's head emerged from the big saucepan named Xiao Meng, as if she was focusing on the wrong point, correcting the former, "I heard adventurers talk about this monster in Casey Harbor before, and it is said to be related to the spirit sucking monsters of the Dark Regions!" ”
"That's... Then why isn't it called a Soul Sucker Giant Worm? ”
The difference in translation is just that......
Urs answered for him in his heart, and at the same time secretly thought that you should not go off the line with the little girl.
As for the difference in translation, it's due to the fact that the lingua franca of the underworld and the lingua franca of the surface world are not the same language after all, and the psionic monsters are sometimes referred to as mind flayers - because these octopus heads are so gifted with their minds that they have become "mind-snatching demons" in many adventurers' quest logs.
A very terrible appellation.
As a result, Urs had always been well aware of what it meant for the tentacles of the Spirit Suckers to reach into the heads of intelligent beings, and how the Mind Slayer Worm, a twisted monster that should never have been born in this world, was actually born.
That process of birth is a taboo for the entire Spirit-Suction Society—the biggest taboo, and the ultimate horror lurks under the taboo!
"It's moving!"
Suddenly, Koto, who had regained his attention, held his breath and glanced back at the giant heart-slayer insect not far away.
The huge purple worm seemed to finally be unable to suppress its predatory instincts, so it took the lead in ending the confrontation stage and launched an attack on the people who had already turned their heads and grabbed the wolf's back.
The way it moved forward was undoubtedly the wriggling of insects, the rocky hard skin and overly bloated weight stretched forward with a stance that seemed to tear the tunnel apart, and the four tentacles like whips suddenly stretched out of its mouth and pumped towards the group-()
