Chapter 49: Return to Ulduar
"What's up ahead?"
At some point, Savina had already groped her way to Sok with Katyusha in her arms, the elf's slender ears were not decorations, and Savina had already heard the slight sounds that were completely different from the small animals around her. Sok tilted his head slightly, keeping his tentacles away from Katyusha, who was already asleep in Savina's arms, and answered Savina's question in a low voice.
"It's a small group of dark elven cave lizard cavalry. ”
Hearing Sock's answer, Shavina's eyebrows immediately furrowed slightly. As a distant cousin of the Dark Elves and a permanent nemesis, Savina knows these dark-skinned and white-haired creatures very well.
"How could the Dark Elves come to such a deep place, this is the territory of the soul-absorbing monsters who are completely hostile to them. ”
"I don't know, but those guys are close, let's hide. ”
Sokra slowly retreated with Savina in tow, hiding under the stalagmites that had bent into a leaf, and using psionic energy to hide herself and Savina.
As soon as the three of them finished hiding, the group of six Dark Elf cave lizard cavalry had already arrived at their possession, and then a slight underground general dark language reached the ears of the three of them in this clear and empty darkness.
"There's a stench of sucking monsters everywhere, and it's going to be a long time before we get out of this plain. ”
"According to the map, there are less than three miles left. ”
"Speed up, don't let that Spirit Sucking Monster City notice, this time we have to make a big vote, and finally the Spirit Sucking God shows weakness to the Spider Queen, we have to seize the opportunity." ”
"Understood. ”
The cave lizard's scaly foot suckers were so dominant in the dark plains that Sok and Savina had to hold the Katyusha to the ground to avoid being noticed by the evil creatures who could see in the dark. Fortunately, this plain is not far from Ulduar, and it is usually one of the places where the spirit-absorbing monsters operate, which allowed Sock and Shavina to escape.
The slight hissing of the cave lizard became farther and farther away, and the conversation of the dark elves became farther and farther away, and when he could no longer hear it, Soke slowly raised his head, and then began to slowly advance towards the plain towards the surface with Shavina and the others.
However, they feel as if they are going in the wrong direction. In just half an hour, three waves of dark elf scouts had already run past them, and although they had all avoided the cave lizard's keen sense of smell with the help of Sock's psionic powers, both Sock and Savina knew that the god of luck would never favor only those on one side.
When they found a small cave that could accommodate just three people, the three of them immediately hid inside.
As soon as they hid inside, another group of Dark Elf cave lizard cavalry ran in front of them, and the cave lizards with their big toes with rough scales stepped in front of the small cavern, in front of Savina and Sork.
When the cavalry ran past and Shavina was sure that there were no other dark elves around, she moved her body slightly and whispered next to Sock's round octopus head.
"Sock, there are scouts of the Dark Elves everywhere, what should I do?"
And Sock was thinking with his supernatural intellect.
"Based on the words of the few waves of dark elf scouts just now, it can be clearly known that what they are dealing with is the spirit sucking monster of the city we ran out of, and according to the direction of their advance, it can be inferred that the direction we are advancing is exactly where their army is located, and the chance of meeting can be said to be one hundred percent. As for the Dark Elves' hatred of surface elves and psitrons, I think we'd better go back to Psivac City first. ”
Sock told Savina about his analysis, and Savina thought about it carefully before nodding.
"Only that psicosuck city can stand up to this army of dark elves, so let's go at once. ”
Once the decision was made, Savina and Sock did not hesitate, and they immediately poked their heads out of the small cave and prepared to return the way they came, when another sudden situation appeared in front of them.
"Wait. Sock, what do you think that's that?"
"A psychic monster mixed in with the army of dark elves?"
Just as they were probing, a picture that would never have been in their imagination appeared in Sock's eyes. Not far from them, a psychic priest in a robe full of tentacles was talking to a middle-aged dark elf in armor, arguing about something, looking at the dark elf's triumphant expression and the tentacles swaying from the psychic monster, Sock felt that it was the psychic priest who had suffered.
The Psionic Priest and the Dark Elf General quickly ended their conversation, and the puffed Psychic Priest slowly floated alone in the air, drifting towards the location of Sock and Shavina, unaware of the three enemies hiding beneath him.
Shavina looked at the Psicoon Priest in the air, and then at Sock, her big bright eyes revealing such news in Sock's vision.
"Catch this spirit-sucking monster, let's hear what he has to offer!"
Sock nodded, and then suddenly sent out his psionic energy, dragging the Psionic Priest floating in the air down, and at the same time, Shavina had already rushed out of the cave with an arrow, and with the swing of the dagger, she had already cut off the four tentacles of the Psicuck.
The tentacles of the psionic monster are equivalent to the five fingers of a human being, and the priest of the psychic monster who realized the pain of the whisker immediately wailed, but the vocal organs were sealed by Sock's psionic energy, and he could only use the psionic energy to constantly reverberate in his heart.
"Say, why do psisuckers get mixed up with the dark elves? ”
In order not to be heard, Thork used his psionic energy to communicate with the mind of the spirit-sucking priest, and then interrogated.
But the Psicosphite Priest only kept wailing, and didn't say a word about the rest of the words.
"This sucking monster's mouth is tight!"
"There's no way around it?"
"There's a way, that's the only way to go. ”
Sock looked up, spoke to Savina for a few words, and then slowly extended his tentacles to the captive's head.
"The god of spirit-absorbing monsters, Il, will not let you go, traitor!"
The captured Psicoccon Priest suddenly stopped wailing and cursed fiercely, knowing that the tentacles that Sock had placed on top of his head were about to perform an explanation, as he did it all the time.
The psionic energy slowly pressed into the psychic priest's brain from Sock's tentacles, making a mess of his brain, and then all the memories were extracted and analyzed by Sock's psionic energy, and finally obtained the information he wanted, and the psychic priest was already blind, drooling from the corners of his mouth, and became a fool.
"It's been clear, the city we escaped from has betrayed the god of the Psic, and these Psics have joined forces with the Dark Elves to destroy the Ulduar's Psilocy. ”
Sock carefully integrated the information he had gotten from the Psicoccon Priest's head, told Shavina, and the two of them combined it to come to the following conclusion.
"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, since those spirit-absorbing monsters have betrayed their gods, and they are starting to gradually break away from the instincts of the spirit-absorbing monsters, maybe we should go back, that way we have a better chance of survival. ”
The journey back to the city was much smoother than groping their way forward, and there were no more cave lizard cavalry scouts from the dark elves on the way, and it took less than a third of the time to advance, and Sok and Shavina had already seen the psychic city of Ulduar from afar, which had been planning to escape but now returned on their own initiative.
But Ulduar was no longer the same as when they fled, and although the building had not changed, above the city, a huge flying object with a dazzling glow on its belly was hovering, and from time to time some creature resembling a psionic monster could be seen coming and going at the bottom of the object.
Moving on, Sock closed his eyes and let out a sigh of satisfaction as he was fully exposed to the glow emanating from the mothership core of the carrier's belly of the aircraft carrier Vilamute.
"It's so bright, well, it's so comfortable, it seems that something that binds the body has disappeared. ”
He felt his body slowly changing, becoming lighter, becoming harmonious, becoming unanimous, and the voice of Katyusha, who had just woken up, told him that it was not a feeling, but a reality.
"Brother, your appearance is changing. ”
Slightly summoning a ball of pure water to turn into a mirror in front of him, Sock saw what he was now. The skull was no longer rounded, but angular and had grown three layers of bone plates, the eyes were no longer silvery-white, but were turning into two blue-white clouds, and behind his head, a long strand of fleshy hair was gradually growing, which were actually nerve bundles.
And just as Sock watched intently at his changes, a loud voice came from the depths of his heart.
"Welcome back to the world of the astral spirits, fellow citizens. ”
Sock didn't panic, Kahala's link made his mind grow tremendously in an instant.
"Thanks, who are you?" (To be continued.) )
