Chapter 2571 Fear of Phagocytosis

Thinking back for a while, Joan remembered that these octopus claws had been hit by the electric yellow iridescent light, but they didn't die. This only shows that they have super resistance to electric shocks, and they are even naturally immune to electric damage.

However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. "Rainbow Jet" also has a blinding effect. No matter what color of rainbow light is hit, it will be blinded. Those octopus claws that survived are no exception, and they all become blind. , and can no longer release "slow gaze" through that deformed eye, and his strength is greatly reduced.

"Ayla, the rest of the octopus claws will be handed over to you and the tauren - remember to keep the whole body, I will be useful."

"Obey, my dear master!"

"Death-Eyed Tyrant" grinned ferociously, and led a large group of ferocious tauren miners to pounce on the six blind octopus claws.

...

In the lair of the "Magic Eye Arcanist", Joan switched the viewing angle of the "remote viewing mirror" again, this time viewing the "Mushroom Farm" in the middle of the territory.

The person in charge of guarding the farm is the "Eye of Gauss" Tisitea. At this moment, she is leading the shark lizard beast Shar and a large group of kobold slaves to resist the invaders.

Tisitea has already put on the magic lens bestowed by her master. The awe-inspiring radiance radiated from the main eye passes through the lens, doubling the radiation radius, and blasting all creatures in the 120-foot cone in front of her into a sluggish state.

Shar took the opportunity to pounce on him, and knocked the frightened Dilro dwarves off their backs, and swallowed them alive one by one.

Among the enemies who invaded the mushroom farm, apart from the Dillo dwarves, there was also a weird looking monster, which looked like a large group of slimes made up of countless eyes, mouths and flesh and blood, rolling and crawling against the ground. At the same time, the sand and gravel under him were corroded by the acid secreted from its body surface into a puddle of mud, which slowly solidified until the monster moved away from this place.

These monsters crawling all over the ground together created a large swamp up to three feet deep in the farm.

Tisitea, which is suspended in the air, is not affected by the mud, and Shar, who is huge, doesn't care about the changes in the surface environment. He only suffers from the small kobold. If he accidentally falls into the mud pit, the mud will cover his chest. Climbing out, within five minutes, he was trapped by re-solidified sand and stones, suffocating to death.

The Dilro dwarves, who are about the same size as the kobolds, are also victims of the mud everywhere.

Kobolds are a nation that advocates solidarity and mutual assistance. If one person stumbles into the mud, as long as he calls for help, the surrounding compatriots will rush to rescue him as soon as possible. Not many kobolds are eventually trapped in the mud.

Dillo dwarves are different.

If anyone fell into the pit, it would be useless to shout out their throats. The other Dilro dwarves would just hide away, maybe still laughing in their stomachs and gloating.

So judging from the results, the mud created by the group of monsters on the farm was not so much sabotage, but more like intentional or unintentional pitting of teammates.

Through the "remote viewing mirror", Joan saw the area where the monster crawled turned into mud, and immediately felt a sense of déjà vu. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he had read related descriptions in books. This kind of monster with eyes and mouths all over its body The monster should be the so-called "Fear Phagocytosis".

There is still no way of knowing where the "phobia" came from. Even if this creature without a fixed shape should be classified as a "mud" or a "strange monster", there is still a lot of controversy in the academic circle.

Considering that the physiological characteristics of Phagophagia are different from most "oozes", the average intelligence attribute is as high as 4 points, and it also has language ability-although most of the time it is just making meaningless noise, most scholars tend to think that this It's an ancient aberration.

In fact, there is an even more radical view, said to have been advanced by mind flayers, that insists that the phagophagos and beholders share a common ancestry.

The mind flayers believe that the first beholders and the phagocytosis were both descendants of the "big mistress". The beholders who were born earlier were jealous that their younger sister was more beautiful and cute than themselves, so they used all kinds of vicious words to curse each other. It has degenerated into a mentally retarded and terrifying Horror Phagocytosis. Even though it has suffered such a terrible curse, the blinking eyes of the Horror Phagocytosis can still be seen to be similar to beholders.

There is no basis for such a claim, and it is likely just a vicious joke made up by the mind flayer, with the purpose of stimulating the beholder's highly sensitive self-esteem.

Humans always say that "there is no love and hate for no reason in the world", this concept is actually only true for intelligent creatures with sound minds, and for those creatures with abnormal minds, such as mind flayers, despite the average intelligence and knowledge level of the group It is very high, but it just likes to torture other creatures for no reason.

Beholders hate other creatures and are overly defensive against strangers, essentially because their nerves are too sensitive, and they are afraid of being stimulated and hurt from the outside world-although many times others do not intend to hurt them.

Mind flayers are different. If beholders are mostly paranoid persecutions, then mind flayers are almost all perverted sadists. The best way to express their individuality is to invent new tricks of abusing others—this is mind flayers. The "performance art" that the devil is passionate about.

When Joan first discovered that the Dillo dwarves invaded his lair, he suspected that there was a mind flayer behind the scenes. Later, he found that the intruders included "octopus claws" and "fear of phagocytosis", and he became more convinced that the mastermind behind the attack must be It is the old enemy of the beholder clan of Udinos - the mind flayer from Odes!

If you were to ask a mind flayer, why did he bother to do anything in the "Evil Eye Hive City"?

Although there are a large number of monsters sent into the city to make trouble, they are not the opponents of the giant-eyed tyrants at all, and they are unlikely to cause serious damage to Udinos. Is it interesting to go through such a toss?

The mind flayer will reply with a smile, "Interesting! Very interesting!"

For countless years in the past, the mind flayers of Odis have racked their brains, frequently plotting various conspiracies regardless of the cost, and endlessly harassing the residents of Udinos. The purpose is to amuse the beholders and observe their suffering. After the stimulation, he was furious and even cried out of control, and he got a great spiritual enjoyment that Joan couldn't understand.

The beholder's ideal happy life is to lock himself in the bottom of a well to hide, and stay alone quietly.

The mind flayer's pleasure is not to isolate the beholders from the world, and do everything possible to destroy their peaceful life.

The mind flayer lords even openly declared: "There is no one in this world who loves beholders more than we do."

It's just that the way they express their "love" is unimaginable, so distorted that it can only be described as "psychopathic".
