After passing through countless collapsed and crumbling ruins, looking at the history buried in endless dust, the Blood Demon did not have half a feeling of sorrow, but was engrossed in sneaking into the depths of the ruins

Hanging upside down from the high cave dome, two or three hundred meters above the ground, you can see all the qiē below. Eyes cut through the fog and cast a view of the magnificent city walls that have stood for thousands of years. Although it is dilapidated and covered with moss lichen on the masonry and stones, you can imagine what it was like when it was once based on the 30-meter-high wall and the wide corridor that can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages in parallel.

The reliefs on the city walls have weathered and fallen, leaving only scar-like mottled shadows, and there are groups of figures patrolling the roadway regularly, and it can be seen that the defense line is extremely tight, and it is not easy for anyone to sneak in from the ground. However, these patrols on the surface are only a front, and what really blocks outsiders from entering are dark magic traps and psionic traps hidden in the corners.

There are not only traps on the ground, but even the dome where the blood demon crawls has a lot of psionic threads. Formless and textureless psionic threads crisscrossed the space, arranging the space where the dome was located into a terrifying spider web array, so the Blood Demon did not dare to go deeper when he came to the position above the city wall, and could only take a peek at the demeanor of the Mind Flayer City from afar.

As far as he could see, there were still many intact buildings within the city walls, where many underground creatures were coming in and out. At first glance, the Bloodfiend recognized a number of them: elves, drows, Gizele, Giesyankees, stoneblind barbarians, gnolls, gray dwarves, gnomes, centaurs, goblins, orcs......

These strange races, which are usually untouchable, can be found here, and it seems that they can still live together in "harmony", at least the Blood Demon saw some drow and orcs gathered around a fire, sharing a large pot of thick green soup. The Blood Demon pursed his lips slightly, showing infinite sympathy for these guys who fell into the hands of the Mind Flayer and became a slave to the mind forever.

This is probably the "civilian quarter" where the Mind Flayer enslaves creatures, and it looks chaotic, dirty, and disorderly. The deeper part of the "Uptown" area is shrouded in a faint distorted shield, making it impossible to get a glimpse of it.

Just as he was helpless, he suddenly noticed a group of "people" hurriedly walking on a gray stone paved road leading to the "Upper Town", and there was a "humanoid" wearing a dark gray cloak in the center. There was no time to think, and there was no time to plan, the blood demon instinctively opened his mouth, and a ball of blood the size of an egg spewed straight out, dripping in an arc in the air.

It was just a small lump of blood that left his body, which made the blood demon weaken in an instant, and his hands and feet holding on to the stone wall of the dome trembled a little, and he almost loosened. The mass of blood just now was not large in size and not much, but it contained more than one-third of the energy in the blood demon's body, and it was no wonder that with the blood demon's physique, such a huge energy loss in a short period of time was almost unbearable.

While still in the air, the blood mass began to change at an extremely rapid pace, reaching out countless slender tentacles and opening a strange eye. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a small alien creature, plummeting downward with agility and speed that was disproportionate to its body, but its body was constantly fine-tuning horizontally as it fell, so that its landing point coincided with the cloaked man on the ground.

When it falls halfway through the air, the color of the surface of the alien body composed of blood masses begins to change, and a chameleon-like talent appears, which blends with the background color of its location, and if it is not in a state of high-speed movement, it is almost difficult for a normal person to capture its existence with the naked eye.

When he was still more than 20 meters away from the cloaked man, the strange alien creature's body suddenly flattened, and at the cost of rapid spontaneous combustion, it eliminated all kinds of sounds and momentum when it fell, and finally fell lightly on the cloaked man's shoulder, and turned into a liquid of the same color and adhered there.

The cloaked man was also aware of this moment, and looked around suspiciously, but did not find anything different from usual. For a brief moment, the cloaked man looked up at the sky, revealing the purple-red skin under the hood, the octopus-like head, and the two long and two short tentacles on the chin.

This is already a mature Mind Flayer.

It stopped in its footsteps and scanned its surroundings several times repeatedly, and the vigilant look in its demeanor instantly infected several psychic servants in front of it and behind it, and one by one they drew their weapons and began to search for possible enemies nearby.

Nothing was found. This makes it even more confusing.

The unprovoked intuition of danger just now was so strong, so sharp, that it had pierced its keen mind deeply, and it could not have been a misjudgment or an illusion. But now that he is in the city, he will enter the cover range of the spiritual energy shield in half a mile, what unknown danger will there be at this time?

The puzzled Mind Flayer rolled up the slender tentacles of his jaw irritably, and with a thought in his mind, he lifted the slaves' warning orders and continued his journey forward.

Soon, everyone came to the spiritual shield that separated the inside and outside, and a few slaves who followed them bowed and bowed, and then turned around and returned to their "home" in the lower city, only the Mind Flayer calmly walked towards the invisible but qualitative light film.

After sensing the spiritual energy of the Mind Flayer, the originally integrated light film suddenly opened a humanoid hole comparable to his size and put it in.

When the light film slowly closed behind the Heart Flayer, this alien creature equivalent to a blood demon clone dared to pull out one or two filament-like tentacles from its flat body, passively probing the surrounding qiqi. All the mental fluctuations, all the energy reactions were compressed to the lowest and lowest Cheng dù, and the strange eyes also opened again, only because of the effect of mimicry, it appeared to be a little darker than the dark gray cloak. Suddenly, I thought that the dark spot was just a stain that the Mind Flayer had inadvertently stained.

As the Mind Flayer continued along the path, the basic images and sounds around him were synchronously generated in the Blood Flayer's mind. This is not a spell effect, nor is it an ability effect, but an instinctive synchronization between cells in the same body, which can only be disturbed, but cannot be completely cut off.

It is a restored, almost intact relic, grey stone street flanked by flat-roofed houses, constructed entirely of earth-stone mixture. Based on the restored patterns, it is assumed that these are ordinary places such as taverns, inns, and shops, but now, they are inhabited by mind-slayer demons and psychic monsters wearing robes and holding an octopus head.

Kazejek, the Mind Flayer, greeted a few acquaintances, and walked straight to the towering temple at the end of the street. This is a city founded by the Arcanists thousands of years ago, and of course there can be no temple, it is a spacious and majestic Arcane Temple, where the Arcanists meet to discuss problems, and now of course it is the town hall of the Mind Flayers.

The Mind Flayer doesn't have the red tape of humans, and there is no useless bureaucracy, Kazejek just stood still at the gate of the town hall for a moment, and the "person" he wanted to see appeared in front of him, the Mind Flayer Elder - Selevol.

Evil and imposing with an imperial majesty, the burly humanoid creature stood nearly 8 feet tall upright. Its body resembles purple-red rubber, with a layer of grease-like mucus attached to it, shimmering in the dim natural light. The Mind Flayer Elder Celewall wore an ornate robe dragging to the ground, and its octopus-like head had two short tentacles and four extremely long tentacles. Its eyes are a pair of silvery-white and expressionless spheres.

The two demons didn't talk to each other, they looked at each other, their thoughts fluttering, and they transmitted messages in the form of teleportation. Of course, in this silent communication, a lot of jumbled words will be inadvertently captured by the Blood Demon clone who is close at hand.

“…… Human Mage ...... Drow ......"

"High-level ......", "Arrival ......", "Ruins ......"

Of course, there is no way to know the full content, but from these few keywords that have been mentioned repeatedly, enough information can be obtained for brain supplementation. It seems that the Mage Guild's big move did not hide the Mind Flayer's investigation, and this Mind Flayer Kazeyek obviously just rushed back from outside and brought the latest information of the Mage Guild.

In just a few fingers, the two demons completed the exchange.

The Mind Flayer Kazejek bowed slightly, turned and left the gate of the town hall, and walked towards his own dwelling west of the city, while the Mind Flayer Elder Celevor turned back into the solid darkness behind him.

The moment the two demons turned, the Blood Demon clone on Kazeyek's cloak was like a drop of water rolling down, sliding down the soft cloth and finally falling onto the moon-white stone floor. The whole process was silent, and since there was no mana fluctuation, it did not cause any alarm from the two demons.

When the door of the town hall was quiet again, a water stain on the floor slowly bulged. Compared to the original egg size, the current Bloodfiend clone is only half the size of the original. Since it is not a complete life form after all, and any action must be driven by burning itself as nutrients, the blood essence energy carried by itself can maintain its activity time for a maximum of 40 minutes without external supplementation. If you make certain energy-intensive moves, this time will be significantly reduced.

The mission left by the Blood Demon to this clone is not to probe into the secrets of the Mind Snatcher, but to further confirm the actual location of the spatial coordinates described by the master and the obstacles it may face. At any given time, the master's instructions are the first sequence to be completed.

After confirming the safety of its surroundings, the Blood Demon clone began to distort and deform locally, and soon a miniature spider appeared in its place. It's just that compared to a real spider, this miniature little creature has a similar shape and 8 flat, sharp arthropods.

Bounced slightly, sticking to a stone pillar that stood up to the sky with a slight force in the air, the Blood Demon clone followed the pillar with its own unique agility, avoiding the area where some special runes and spirit patterns were located, and climbed straight up to the tall eaves of the town hall.

At the top of the hall, the Blood Demon clone stopped. It was a stone statue of a beautiful maiden, standing at the highest point of the temple, and the Blood Demon clone was now prostrate on her delicate, slightly mutilated headband.

The Blood Demon clone once again poked out two slender tentacles, standing tall, trembling slightly to stir up undetectable ripples in the special space, while turning the body to repeatedly compare the surrounding spatial feedback, trying to compare with a set of special numbers stored in the core, looking for the spatial node that the master said.

After a full turn, the Blood Demon's tentacles pointed to a mysterious location 3 miles behind the town hall. It is a small 3-storey tower, which is inconspicuous among the surrounding buildings, and the only thing that is a little special is its solitude. At least in the densely populated central area, it lives alone and is nearly 100 meters away from the surrounding buildings, which is enough to reflect its specialness.

When the spatial perception of the Blood Demon clone fell on the small tower, the number jù fed back from the outside world and the number jù in the core area perfectly matched.

Got it.

Not daring to slack off, the Blood Demon clone had already begun irreversible spontaneous combustion almost at the same time as it came to a conclusion. The figure turned, and all the tentacles were facing the location of the blood demon's body, even if it was more than ten miles away, it was exactly the same. All the energy generated by the violent spontaneous combustion poured into these tentacles, and the images and probes near their last determined spatial location were transmitted in an unprecedented way.

"Knock Knock ......"

The unique sound of teleportation sounded continuously around the Blood Demon clone, and the seven Mind Flayer Elders revealed their bodies in the air one after another. At the first moment of their appearance, each Mind Flayer Elder stared at the strange little life that was emitting a hot white light at the top of the statue.

Countless layers of force field walls immediately imprisoned it in place, but it was too late. The bloodfiend clone that had completed the transmission of the message died the moment the inner core was burned, leaving only a small handful of ashes after the blood had been completely burned. At the last moment, the Blood Demon clone also opened that treacherous single eye, and transmitted a message to the Mind Flayer Elders present in the form of consciousness fluctuations.

"I'll be back!"
