Chapter 228: Symbiosis

In the dark corridor, a dim light was speeding at full speed. With many anxious and chaotic footsteps, the light points jumped up and down, illuminating the road ahead in a blur.

"Whew, whew, I said, Lord Barritt, you're shaking my eyes like this, can you hold the light source a little steady? A voice gasped as he ran, "Just now, a bug flew directly into my mouth while I wasn't paying attention." And that's not the most uncomfortable, the point is that I accidentally swallowed it!"

"Did you chew it carefully before you swallowed it?" replied the questioner, but the speed of the run did not slow down at all.

"Whew, whew, chew? Yes, yes. The voice said intermittently, "I subconsciously bit its wings and belly, I think it should be the stomach, but I can't be sure." It was coming out with a lot of juice, and it smelled terrible, quite fishy. Gross, damn it, I can't think about it anymore!"

"That's fine. The man with the light in his hand responded, "Watch out for the stone in front of you." ”

"What do you mean it's okay?" the voice asked in a startled tone, "You're saying that if I don't chew twice, I'm going to have a problem?"

"I don't know. But if you bite it directly, at least you can make sure that it won't lay eggs in your body. The man with the light in his hand said, "No one wants to be parasitized, no one ......"

"Damn! I want to throw up. The voice stopped, "No, vomit!"

......

"Uh, that's disgusting!" Weimar said disgustedly, bypassing William, who was kneeling on the ground and vomiting, and walked over to Barritt and asked, "How long do we have to escape?"

"The farther away from that water, the better, and when the vomiting guy gets up, we'll run farther away. Barrett replied. Then he beckoned to Blake, who was holding the goblin, "Haven't the goblins come to their senses?"

"I'm not sure. Blake put the goblin under his armpit and said with a serious expression, "After I started to run away, the quiet Gary suddenly moved in my hand, so I punched him in the back of the head with the hand that drew the bow, causing him to faint. ”

β€œ...... Well, well done. Barrett nodded, not sure what to say.

This choice was correct, but such a crisp and neat decision made the barbarian feel an indescribable weirdness. He only hoped that the young man in front of him, who he didn't know anything about, wouldn't be too heavy.

"What is the monster that attacked you in the water?" Weimar stepped forward and touched the goblin's snort.

"A big, strange-looking fish with tentacles. Barrett looked down the dark corridor behind her. There was no sound in the darkness, and he wasn't sure if the fish-like monster would make it ashore, it was unlikely, but he didn't want to take the risk.

"A big fish, that's it?" William came over with his mouth smeared, "Whew, I thought it would be terrible." We could actually stand on the shore and shoot it to death with your throwing axe and Blake's bow and arrows. ”

"Barrett says it has tentacles, so we'd better stay away from it. "My dad said that anything with tentacles should not be underestimated. Eye Demon, Heart Flayer, Tentacle Monster ......"

"And the little squid. "You must be careful the next time you eat it, and watch out for the little tentacles that taste delicious with hot sauce." ”

"The tentacles aren't really the point. The key is that the strange fish can directly control others with its psychic abilities like a mind snatcher. Barrett's face became a little gloomy as he recalled the process of being controlled, "There are no mages among us, so there is nothing we can do about this kind of mind control. That monster fish was more dangerous to us than a whole bunch of dreadclaws, and much more dangerous. ”

In Barrett's mind, he equated the danger of that strange fish with that of the black dragon Seryrios.

"A fellow mage?, alas, I have never dreamed of how wonderful such an adventure would be. Weimar covered his nose and looked at Wilhelm with disdain, "Instead of being in the company of some stinky guy all the time." ”

"Hmph, this stinky mouth kissed your sister. William tilted his head in defiance.

"So what. Weimar didn't care, "I've kissed Gorgace, envy it?" her lips were soft, but worse than her breasts. ”

"You ...... guy"

"Stop arguing! If it's okay, we'll move on. Barrett interrupted the two men's pointless bickering. Making out with a woman is not something that should be compared, it's too naΓ―ve.

I've kissed countless women, but did I say it? Am I proud? No. A mature, masculine man will let those women throw themselves into their arms. The barbarians automatically ignore the role of gold coins in this.

He then told Blake, "If the goblins wake up, tell me." Also, be careful, I'm not sure if he's out of the fish's grasp. ”

"How did you break free?" asked Weimar curiously, "I saw you, like Gary, stop motionless in the water." ”

"My physique is relatively high, and I am exempt from the ability of strange fish. Barrett said lightly, he didn't want to explain too much.

In this process, the [Mission Log] played a key role, and this inexplicable thing seemed to be 'alive' like a living thing!

It's a bit weird, but Barrett really doesn't know how to describe it. He rubbed his forehead again, recalling the whole process.

When Barrett was controlled by the strange fish, although his body was no longer under his control, his consciousness was still quite clear. Not only can he clearly perceive the situation around him, but he can also clearly receive the commands transmitted to him by the strange fish hidden in the shadows.

"Stop, my slave, and stop making senseless struggles. The Strange Fish transmitted the contents directly to his mind, "Offer memories to your master and merge with the omniscient chain of memories." After this, you will have eternal access. ”

This content did not impress Barrett. He wasn't interested in blending in with something unless it was actually a charming, peugeot-like woman. And what the strange fish said was obviously far from what he could accept, so Barrett still mustered all his energy and struggled.

But his efforts didn't work. The strange fish strengthened his grip on him because of his resistance, and the powerful mental oppression made his conscious struggle weaker and weaker.

But just as Barrett felt like he was about to lose his grip and become a servant of the monster like a goblin, he suddenly felt something pop into his mind.

It was a deep purple lightning bolt with a faint golden glow, and many branch-like branches. Lightning spread one of his branches along the mental oppression that the strange fish had inflicted on him.

Immediately afterward, Barrett heard an indescribably strange sound from the strange fish. Then he found that he had actually broken free from the other party's control and regained control of his body.

That dark purple lightning with a golden glow was the [Mission Log]!!Barrett couldn't give a definite reason for such a conclusion, it was a feeling, but he was extremely sure.

It is in my body, or in my soul, and it suddenly appears, is it purely protecting me, or is it protecting the host on which it lives?

He led a few young men on their way through the long moss-covered passageway. After a fork in the road and a new pathway, the moss and the wide variety of insects disappeared, replaced by fluorescent mushrooms that could be found everywhere underground.

These cute clusters of small mushrooms emitting a blue or green glow made everyone subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, which means that the road in front of them is no more ordinary.

"Many of the dangers of the underworld are unpredictable, even invisible and invisible. However, the channel where fluorescent mushrooms shine generally doesn't have anything too weird. The Dragon's Blood Kobold once said, "This law is not always accurate, but at least most of the time." Don't ask me why this is the case, I can make a small fireball even if I try, but I'm not a mage, so I don't want to explore the secrets behind these laws. ”

Barrett and the others rested for a moment. Gary the goblin still hadn't woken up, but at least he was still breathing. He pulled out the map, checked his bearings, and continued toward their destination.

After passing through several passages and forks in the road safely, Barrett and the others came to a small damp cave. And in this cave, a fierce battle is going on at this time.
