Chapter 9: Brains are a good thing
The Soul Sucker, also known as the Mind Flayer, is a special creature of the underworld, and is also one of the few high-level intelligent creatures in the underworld, except for the dark elves and black dwarves.
Spirit sucking monsters are born high creatures, as soon as they are born, they have the huge advantage of level +6, and the growth rate is very fast, as long as they maintain normal growth, they can easily reach the strength of black iron or even silver.
Because of this, although there are only 5 spirit-absorbing monsters in Langdon's territory, and 3 of them are just children, the difficulty of dealing with them is still ranked second among all the biological groups in Langdon's territory, except for the group of fire salamanders with more than 1,000 heads, this spirit-absorbing monster is the most difficult to deal with.
It's hard to deal with, on the other hand, if you can get them to join, it will be extremely helpful to Langdon, of course, these are all things that the previous Langdon never thought of, he couldn't even get a nest of goblins, how could he put his idea on the head of the spirit sucking monsters, and now, the situation seems to be a little different.
Early the next morning, a team of 7 quietly left the bunker, leaving poor Ella still locked up in the little dark room, but perhaps because of his excellent performance the previous night, he managed to save his life and get a slightly better treatment than before, Langdon was very generous in removing the chains from his hands, and leaving him with plenty of food.
Whether it's a spirit sucker or a mind flayer, just from the name, you can see that the creatures of this race are inextricably linked to spiritual things, and in fact, this is also the case.
More than 90% of the combat methods of the spirit sucking monsters are related to the spirit, among them, their most common and powerful skills are mind control and mind blasting, the former can easily control the thinking of others and let others use it for their use, while the latter can cause great damage to the enemy's spirit, and can even directly defeat the enemy's thinking, making the other party a complete idiot.
In addition, the eating of the spirit sucking monster also has a direct relationship with the spirit, they only have one kind of food - brain, except for the brain, they will never eat anything else, and an ordinary adult spirit sucking monster, the amount of food in a month, is exactly the brain of an ordinary adult human, uh, such a calculation formula does not seem to be appropriate, but this is the case, and if you want to change to the brain of other creatures, the number has to change.
And today, it is the day when one of the little ones in that family eats.
This little guy is not very old, just over 1 meter tall, and his small body, like its parents, is completely covered by a hooded robe, which is mainly to cover their faces, the huge mouthparts that occupy more than half of their faces, and the tentacles that extend outward from the mouth, like octopus whiskers, are enough to make all creatures that see this face flee for the first time, thus making them lose many opportunities to hunt.
As usual, the little sucking monster sneaked towards the lizardman camp, although the nutrients of the lizardman's brain were not as good as the dark elves and black dwarves, but it was already counted in this area, and at the age of the little sucking monster, it only needed one brain, enough that it would not need to eat for the next month.
Despite its young age, its predatory nature has been deeply imprinted into the depths of its body, and it moves forward at a speed that is neither fast nor slow, and its body is always hidden in various shadows, easily avoiding all kinds of dangers.
Suddenly, its heart tightened slightly, it was a predatory instinct and a powerful spiritual attribute sent a crisis signal to it, and the next moment, its body had quickly shrunk behind the shadow of a large stone.
The underground world was originally a dark world, but, perhaps because of this, all kinds of ores, plants, and creatures here have the ability to emit light, which also makes this originally dark world have its own light, however, under the illumination of these chaotic lights, the terrain of this world has become more and more chaotic.
Especially the shadows, deep and shallow, like stains on the canvas, this piece and that piece, creating chaos and bringing more danger.
At this time, the little spirit sucking monster skillfully used those shadows, and it shuttled through these shadows, looking for the source of its sense of crisis.
Its body suddenly stiffened, forcing the body that was ready to move to the next shadow and listened hard, its eyes glowed with a dark red light, that is the effect of infrared vision, in the underground world, infrared vision is not the patent of dark elves, many creatures living here have this ability.
The eyes of the little spirit sucking monster were already locked on to the target, it was a guy like it, the whole body was hidden in a robe with a hood, and even the size was about the same as it, but instinct told it that it was not its kind, but a dark elf, a creature with the most delicious and nutritious brain in the underworld.
Of course, his danger level was also directly proportional to his deliciousness, which made the little spirit sucking monster completely silent, its eyes still locked on the other party, and its body quietly moved at the same time.
Obviously, the other party hasn't found the little spirit sucking monster yet, looking at the guy's posture, he should be resting, which provides a good opportunity for the little spirit sucking monster.
Like any predator in the past, it shuttled through the shadows with great skill, getting closer to its prey little by little, only this time, it was more cautious than ever, and was even ready to flee immediately after a single blow, nothing is more important than being alive, this is a law that is correct everywhere.
50 m ...... 20 m ...... 10 meters!
In fact, the little spirit sucking monster could have launched an attack a long time ago, however, to be on the safe side, it still sneaked to a very close distance, and then, concentrated......
Soul blast!
This is the strongest blow of the little spirit absorbing monster, and with its strength at this time, it can only send out a single attack like this, so at the same time as it launched this spiritual explosion, it also pounced on the prey like a cheetah!
During this whole process, its prey didn't even move, and it seemed that it was hit by a psychic explosion while still asleep, and then directly lost consciousness.
However, when it pounced on the body, ripped off its own hood and that of the other party, and the tentacles on its huge mouthparts pierced directly into the top of the opponent's head, it realized that its previous judgment had been wrong.
It's not that it got the prey, it's that the prey is dead long before it attacks!
According to experience, it judged that the other party had died more than a day ago, and the cause of death also came from the top of the head - the moment its tentacles pierced it, it had already found a very thin wound that pierced the brain from the top of the head!
Of course, none of this matters, the important thing is that it provides it with a near-perfect dinner, that wound did not cause too much damage to the brain, and after more than a day of death, the corpse still retains enough freshness that it is simply pie in the sky.
A few tentacles quickly divided the brain and sucked it, and in just over 1 minute, the good-looking head became an empty shell, and the little spirit sucker who had completed a meal quickly got up and prepared to leave, a good meal did not make him forget that this was an underground world full of dangers.
However, just as it was about to move to another shadow, a pain so intense that it burst through its brain, and the poor little spirit sucker felt nothing but darkness in front of it.
