"Mind flayer?"
Hearing Little Doug's question, Ye Qi explained in a way that the other party could understand and understand at this time: "That is an extremely evil existence, compared to the dark-skinned humanoids of their neighbors It is also brutal; at least the latter will kill, fight, and enslave others; but it will never suck human brains!"
"Suck human brains?"
Not only Little Doug, but even Kethor was surprised.
"It's not the whole food, but a certain part of the brain... Well, mind flayers devour the brain, more for the consciousness in the gray matter than for the nutrition needed by the body!" Ye Qi looked at the two people who were a little confused. The young man immediately said in simpler language: "For mind flayers, the supernatural power of the spiritual essence is far more nutritious than eating the flesh of living things; they use the most active part of the brain to release the spiritual essence in it. , so as to promote their metabolism! It’s like eating tofu, then after sucking and chewing, it enters your stomach bag, and then enters the intestinal tract!”
"Oh, I don't think I'll ever want to go back to tofu or something for the next few months!"
Faced with such a metaphor, Little Doug immediately protested with some nausea.
"This is what you have to go through as a demon hunter! Even if you are in a hundred-year-old tomb, you can still sleep peacefully like the dead; otherwise, you will not be able to deal with the dangers that may arise at any time if you are not energetic enough !" Looking at the slightly pale face of little Doug, Ye Qi comforted him with the words his teacher had told him back then. Of course, the example at that time was not that mind flayers were basically extinct in Lorant. Can only be found in the Underdark. And want to know about these dark creatures. The corresponding information can only be found through the secret library of some big forces.
"Demon hunter is a profession full of dangers all the time, not a job that you simply pay for and get paid for in your eyes!" Ye Qi pointed at the "wizard" who was covered by countless bullets and flames. ', said: "It's like the mind flayer in front of you; although a healthy mind flayer only needs to eat one brain a month to meet its nutritional needs; but, as a demon hunter, you can't pray that it just After eating! After all, in order to replenish the consumed supplies in time, mind flayers sometimes eat a lot of brains in a month! Moreover, when they are full, they don't mind having dessert or a change of taste some type of!"
Little Doug and Kesol, who were stunned by Ye Qi's words, were dumbfounded. Obviously, the two young people's understanding of demon hunters was not up to what Ye Qi said; for the two young people In other words, becoming a demon hunter, undergoing training, and then gaining the capital to avenge the Holy See is the original purpose.
And obviously. Ye Qi saw the thoughts of the two young people at a glance, immediately. He jumped off the rock, looked at the two stupefied young men, and said with a serious expression: "If you pay, you will be rewarded; and the corresponding famous saying of the demon hunter is that if you have a title, you must be rewarded." Be responsible! No matter what your past or dreams are, once you become a demon hunter, the darkness will follow you like a shadow, and all kinds of legendary creatures in the eyes of ordinary people will become your opponents, prey, or Companion; and with it comes endless danger, the absence of bones is the truest portrayal of a demon hunter! After all... "
Glancing at the two young men who had regained their composure, Ye Qi continued, "Most of those dark creatures have good appetites!"
"Now I feel that I can even reject meat!" After recovering from his senses, the little Doug immediately smiled wryly after hearing the last sentence. He jumped off the rock, rubbed the tip of his nose, looked at Ye Qi and asked, "But , I think that compared to an antique collector, I am more suitable to become a witcher! Although an antique collector is what my father has always expected of me, but I... "
Speaking of this, little Doug suddenly took a deep breath and roared:
"But I still want to be a demon hunter; after all, this is the only dream I have ever dreamed of since I grew up!"
Dream, witcher? !
Ye Qi looked in surprise at the young man in front of him whose face and neck were swollen red because of the loud roar, and then sighed silently in his heart. The dreams of young people are always so violent and unpredictable. Exciting and thrilling, ignoring the preciousness of life; in this way, demon hunters are definitely suitable for them; but, after experiencing the real parting of life and death, I wonder if you can still yell like you are now
"I hope you can remember today's dream!"
Ye Qi looked at little Doug with a smile on his face, and then turned his gaze to the young man from Qianmao District.
"If you want to get the necessary sacrifices and skills, you must complete the corresponding tasks!"
Compared with his friend, this young man from Qianzhao District spoke much simpler; and this kind of answer made Ye Qi shake his head secretly. Looking at the life of a demon hunter through the relationship of employment, I am afraid that it will be full of troubles, even far beyond the so-called "dream" of Xiao Doug; after all, although the two people have the same starting point, they have to pursue it in different ways. Embarked on a doomed bumpy road.
Steffi, you really found two troubles for your cousin!
I hope that Spedo can still live comfortably in the days to come!
With such a sigh, Ye Qi shook off the thoughts in his heart, and put his eyes on the two young people again
"Since I have the idea of becoming a demon hunter, then I will temporarily replace your future teacher and teach you, as a demon hunter, how to face such monsters!"
"What is the weakness of this monster?"
Little Doug couldn't wait to ask, while Kesol also quietly waited for Ye Qi's answer. Obviously, compared with the previous topic, the two young people liked this topic even more.
"Before understanding the opponent's weaknesses, you must understand what the opponent's strengths are! After all, any situation cannot be smooth sailing. You must be prepared to avoid the most critical moment. Only then can you use the opponent's weaknesses to counterattack !" From the normal perspective of a demon hunter, Ye Qi said slowly; then, he turned his attention to the battle that was about to come to an end again, and continued to say
"Mind flayers are hermaphroditic monsters. They produce eggs through unisexual reproduction, and then hatch into creatures similar to tadpoles; in these two periods, mind flayers are no threat to the outside world, and a child is also The mind flayers in this period can easily be crushed to death; but the metamorphosis period and adulthood after that are the moments when the mind flayers show their ferocious face!"
"During metamorphosis, an adult mind flayer will implant a fully developed tadpole-shaped mind flayer into the ear of a helpless humanoid; It's over; these tadpole mind flayers will quickly eat their gray matter and replace it with their own filthy tissue in a matter of minutes. Under its influence, the tadpoles will mate with the uneaten lower brain of the victim Dry fusion, obliterating all remaining personality and soul, when these things completely disappear from the body, the mind flayer tadpole will use it as its own body until the process of creating an adult mind flayer is completed!"
"This process will last for about a week. Afterwards, mind flayers will enter adulthood, possessing various powerful psychic powers; not only the large-scale shock just now. They can also control the other party's thoughts, making them You are completely helpless; and because of their special constitution, they are extremely resistant to damage from various energies; however, mind flayers are warm-blooded creatures and will be affected by extreme heat, extreme cold and other damage. The harm of the harsh environment!"
"Of course, many mind flayers can reduce or completely avoid the effects of such uncomfortable or deadly harsh environments through mental power; however, this requires considerable consumption; and the only way for mind flayers to replenish consumption is to suck humanoids Biological brains; once there is no suitable 'food', they will quickly fall into weakness or even die after consumption!"
"Just like the mind flayer in front of me who is transforming into adulthood, after using Mind Blast, it begins to instinctively look for targets to prey on and restore its own consumption; however, the adult mind flayer has Quite high, not weaker than human intelligence; when fighting them, it is best to distinguish what is the real weakness and what is its exposed trap for you!"
"I think facing such a monster, it's better not to talk to it, but to kill it directly!"
After thinking for a while, Little Doug came to such a conclusion, and the young people in the Qianmao District nodded in agreement. Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, but did not express his opinion; and in his heart, Ye Qi Qi also very much agreed with the two young people's approach. The best enemy is naturally a dead enemy.
"Can you help me take care of these two young people?"
Ye Qi grabbed a member of the Northstead family who was still in shock, and asked with a smile that the Northstead family members played the role of "porters" in this sudden battle; When the Mind Flayer used Mind Blast before, it wasn't just the six punishment knights who were shocked, there were still quite a few people within the hammer-shaped range of nearly thirty feet behind him.
And it is precisely because of the general scope of the mind blast that Ye Qi can be sure that this mind flayer is just an existence in the stage of transformation to adulthood; after all, an adult mind flayer will not hide its octopus-like head , and the Mind Blast it casts will also become within a 60-foot cone, and there will be no limit on the number of times or time. As long as the consumption can keep up, it will basically exist all the time.
'You never know what a terrifying scene it's going to be when you're confronted by a mind flayer with a pack of slaves; you just watch as it shocks you and drives its tentacles deep into your In his head, he felt the pain of his brain being sucked! '
This is the note that Ye Qi added next to the book about the introduction of "The Underdark. Strange Creatures". It's very in place; Ye Qi has to wonder if the other party has really gone deep into the Underdark, a place independent of Lorant; even though the legendary passage to the Underdark has already been blocked.
However, the mind flayer that appeared today indicated that the so-called 'blocked'. Of course, there is considerable moisture or loopholes in it. This is just a guess. And even if there is such a passage, Ye Qi will not go there out of curiosity; after all, the various examples in the book "The Underdark. Strange Creatures" have already shown that there is a place for the humans of Lorant. A completely forbidden place, any creature there has only two concepts for the humans of Lorant: food, and food reserves.
"Sir. Of course no problem!"
The caretaker of the Northstead family is a man about 30 years old, dressed in a dress similar to its leader Regus, with a long sword and a revolver in a holster at his waist; upon hearing After Ye Qi's request, he immediately bowed and agreed. On this occasion, every Northstead family has obviously been warned by their patriarch how to get along with any force; A faint arrogance, even if he would agree to Ye Qi's 'Finger' dressed up at the moment, who looked like an ordinary witcher, he would not be so polite.
"Lord Finger..."
"Don't ask to follow! Stay by this gentleman's side obediently, otherwise. I will contact Mr. Stoffey in advance!" Before little Doug could finish speaking, Ye Qi interrupted; After seeing little Doug and Kethor nodding together. Then he smiled and touched the tops of the two people's heads, and said, "After all, I'm just going to watch the battle, so it's hard to take care of you!"
"Stay here and wait for me to come back!"
After instructing him again, Ye Qi walked straight towards the end of the battle, which was about to end. Ye Qi naturally has a certain degree of curiosity about strange creatures like mind flayers; Ye Qi, who doesn't have any potential as a scholar, would certainly not spend that kind of time on research in the Underdark, but Ye Qi is still very happy if he just comes to observe by the way.
Uh, the fluctuations are very violent, and the range of influence far exceeds that of ordinary people, basically reaching the level of Moonlight...
After reaching the effective range of [Blind Fighting Perception], Ye Qi noticed a set of very strange fluctuations, which were far more violent than humans of the same level, and after thinking of the other party's inherent racial psionic talent Finally, Ye Qi couldn't help but nodded secretly. Only in this way can the fluctuations of the same class far exceed human beings to produce such psychic powers; Ye Qi is sure that once this mind flayer has fully entered the mature stage, it will naturally enter the solar level.
And with the passage of time, maybe there will be mind flayers who have entered the legendary realm; Ye Qi speculates like this.
After all, according to the book "The Underdark. Strange Creatures", the mind flayer enters the adult stage, and it can live for 115 to 135 years in any environment; during this period, its psychic power will continue to grow; of course, During this period, it must be necessary to plan to conquer all other races, gather countless slaves, and devour their brains.
Huh? !
Just when Ye Qi was secretly guessing, suddenly the fluctuations belonging to the mind flayer began to change drastically, becoming more and more violent and irritable. When this fluctuation made Ye Qi secretly surprised, he moved his footsteps slightly, thinking It was necessary to see through the layers of flames to see what kind of changes had taken place in this mind flayer.
Damn surface slaves!
I failed, I failed...
However, just after Ye Qicai moved a few steps, a stream of information appeared in his mind!
Is this sending a message
still…
hum!
Just when Ye Qi was guessing, the mind flayer trapped in the magic spell once again released a mind blast to the Holy See; although it was blocked by the magic spell [Shield of Blessing], the penetrating power of the mind blast It is obviously very strange; [Shield of Blessing] still exists, but the two priests and bishop Vallejo who controls [Evil Judgment] are affected by it; Sustained, and although Bishop Vallejo was much stronger, he was affected by the sudden increase in the spiritual explosion the moment the [Blessed Shield] disappeared.
The magical brilliance of [Evil Judgment] subsided slightly, even though it returned to normal under the auspices of Vallejo in the next moment, it was enough for the mind flayer to do something
boom!
The skull of the parasitic wizard burst open at this moment, like a rotten watermelon crushed by a truck, and at this moment, a creature with red blood, like an octopus with half of its body cut off, Flying out of it, it ejected directly towards the direction where Ye Qi was standing.
Undoubtedly, this purple octopus-like creature was the mind flayer in the middle of metamorphosis and maturity.
hum!
After flying to the effective distance, the semi-mature mind flayer sent out a mind blast again, causing most of the people who chased Ye Qi and prepared to besiege to enter the shock.
"careful!"
Seeing the half-mature mind flayer abandoning the others and rushing towards Ye Qi, the worried big man, Rhynks and Jacob shouted in unison, while the others The demon hunter also instinctively reminded the existence of the same camp as himself.
