The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World - Chapter 229
Chapter 229 Confused
In an indescribable and terrifying area of the underground world.
There are no luminescent plants here, so the light is dim, and the only thing that can be counted as a light source is a psionic ore that emits a faint purple light.
The glowing purple light only made the gloomy palace even more weird and terrifying.
Here is the headquarters of the illithids.
In addition to the elder octopus-headed illithids who like to eat the brains of intelligent creatures, there are only precarious and completely enslaved ‘brain servants’ who don’t know it.
And, the other part was locked up, very delicious ‘reserve food’.
Of course, these “food reserves” can also be good “hotbeds” for breeding new illithids.
A drow male and a drow female travel side by side.
Their minds that have been corrupted by the illithids have become the monsters’ brain servants, otherwise normal drow men would never dare to walk side by side with a drow woman so naturally.
“There are fewer and fewer ‘prey’ on the periphery.” The male drow sighed and complained to the ‘companions’ around him.
“The old ways don’t work anymore?”
“I should go to the Adventurer’s Association again and mention the bounty. There will always be people who are greedy and will come to the periphery next.”
“If I can’t catch any more ‘ingredients’, my master says he’s going to eat my brain.”
“mine too.”
They calmly talked about chilling things, walking on the path illuminated by the psionic purple light, how weird and weird.
There is still a distance from the periphery, and the two drow slaves started a new topic, “The mastermind seems to be giving birth to a new ‘adult’.”
“I know, everyone knows now, more to say, it may be an adult of the ‘Soul Eater’ level who was born and directly reached the six tentacles.”
“Hey… a great big shot is about to appear…”
“Yes, yes, our master asked us to catch ‘food’ in such a hurry, just to support this adult and let him be successfully ‘born’…”
They chatted intermittently like this until they reached the outer area, and the two drows fell silent, trying to use ‘Shadow Step’ to cover up their tracks.
In order to make it easier, they went to capture the adventurers who were attracted by the sky-high price task they hung in the adventurer’s tavern.
Today they were extremely ‘lucky’. They didn’t wander around the perimeter for long, and saw two female ‘drow elves’ carelessly wandering around the ‘periphery’….
The two drow brain servants really froze for a moment in the shadows.
Before here, the ‘ingredients’ they were eyeing were not the ones that would scare the **** out of their necks when the wind blows them down.
The two drows in front of them, who didn’t use any shadow skills at all, walked carelessly within the scope of the illithid’s activities, just like visiting a large dungeon commercial street of the neutral camp openly.
The brain servants looked at each other, and took out a dagger from their waist very tacitly.
It seems that they are very lucky today, and they will not be eaten by their respective masters when they return completely.
Before the two drow elves who looked at each other and smiled could take any action, His Highness yawned and spewed out a holy breath, directly out of the shadows.
Brain servants of this level, His Highness will burn a bunch of them to death even if they remain as they are now.
The two drow brain servants whose **** was burned by the dragon’s breath and smoked were stunned.
Charlie was very happy, but he was a little disappointed to see that these two drow were still the same as they were, not illithids with octopus heads.
…
Deep in the forbidden zone, in the huge gloomy palace, two illithids wearing black armor that is incompatible with this world raised their heads in confusion.
Illithids don’t need language, as Charlie understands, their brains are connected by a huge master brain.
Even if they are far apart, communication can be completed in a moment of silence.
This illithid, who had just lost contact with his own brain, was communicating with each other through a weird way.
This illithid found that not only himself, but also another compatriot had the same problem as him.
The spirit suckers hit it off in the ‘large chat room for all people’ and walked towards the gate of the palace at the same time.
On weekdays, the range of activities of illithids is the upper floor of the palace.
The brain slaves are wandering the lower floors.
Two illithids in eerie black alien-faced armor came to the exit of the lower floor one after another, and the brain servants who bumped into them on the way knelt down in fright.
After meeting each other, the two illithids did not make any sound, and their communication had already been completed in the ‘chat room’.
Brainless is gone, but the two illithids are happy.
Only stronger intelligent creatures can kill their two brain servants, and stronger intelligent creatures equal stronger slave brain servants or delicious ingredients.
How to deal with it will have to wait until they have seen the guy who wiped out their brains before making a decision.
Illithids are very smart, no, it should be said that the mastermind who controls this group of Illithids is very smart.
In order to prevent all the ‘prey’ from being scared away, under normal circumstances, the mastermind forbids the spirit suckers to go to the peripheral area.
But there are exceptions. For example, right now, a larva that is very likely to grow into a six-tentacle Soul Eater is being bred in the big pool soaked in the master brain.
Only more powerful humanoid intelligent creatures can match the larvae with the potential of six whiskers.
Therefore, the mastermind specially authorized the two spirit void monsters to capture the ‘hotbed’ wandering around the periphery.
In the palace, the masterminds who sent out two illithids were soaked in a large square pool of 10 meters by 10 meters.
The yellow fluid in the pond not only has antiseptic effect, but also can be used as a nutrient for larvae.
And normal intelligent beings would never want to know how this thing came to be.
A huge brain-like thing was soaked in this pool of yellow mucus.
The seemingly huge pool is filled to the brim with this huge ‘brain’.
This is the mastermind of the illithid.
If there is an “old friend” who has dealt with illithids here, he will probably say a word, and then charge towards the main brain.
‘Let go of the spirit sucker first, and kill the mastermind first! ‘
At this moment, in the mastermind’s ‘big bathtub’, there is only one larva swimming happily in it.
This larva looks like a disgusting bug.
It has already matured, as long as a strong human-like intelligence that is very suitable is caught and sent, and the larva is put into the ear of the ‘hotbed’, it will crawl into the brain along the ear canal.
After eating the brains of the strong, the larva will develop again, and finally, the hotbed will grow into a powerful six-bearded soul eater.
The six-bearded Soul Eater is a mature body that has evolved into another mastermind.
The entire dungeon is still unaware that the Illithids, an invading race they regard as extremely dangerous, are in a critical period of expanding their territory.
The mastermind soaking in the ‘big bathtub’ seems to be thinking about the scene where the six-bearded soul eater will transform into another mastermind, and their race will become more and more prosperous.
The Mastermind’s pleasure is transmitted to each individual illithid through their unique racial traits.
Happy everyone!
Right at this moment, the huge mastermind froze.
Even though this gigantic lump of fibrous polymer hadn’t moved at all, its thinking was indeed stagnated at this moment.
What the hell?
What about the two illithids it sent out? ?
Why is the network disconnected?
After a moment of sluggishness, the mastermind quickly sent a message in the ‘chat room’.
Immediately, another ten spirit suckers received the order and walked towards the gate of the palace.
…
Charlie was fiddling with a spirit sucker lich (?) who had been transformed into an undead creature by him, and said a little confused: “Didn’t you say that this thing is difficult to get?”
Artemisia: “…”
Alphonstein: “…”
To be honest, as long-lived giant dragons, they are all descendants of dragon gods, and they have almost endless life spans.
There are very few things in this world that can stun a dragon.
Yes, what did they see just now? ?
Why do some people have such a strange brain circuit that they can come up with the idea of transforming illithids into liches? !
Is this still a person?
Charlie saw that Artemisia and the black dragon who had grown up a circle were both dull at the moment, and asked hesitantly: “I didn’t hit by mistake and found the dead spot of the illithid, right?”
