Chapter 2572 Giant Worm
After so many years of research (harassment) (harassment), mind flayers have come to understand the sensitive and irritable personality of the beholders very well, and take pleasure in stimulating beholders and driving them crazy, which is regarded as a most advanced behavior Art.
Most beholders have an extreme aversion to creatures that look similar to themselves. This peculiar mentality is similar to some human women's aversion to "jumping shirts", and it is a hundred times stronger to the extent.
Ever since they discovered this eccentricity of the beholder, the mind flayers of Odis have been "prescribing the right medicine" and have taken great pleasure in collecting and even creating all kinds of creatures similar in appearance to the beholder. They are specially used to humiliate the beholder, and invite them to experience it to the fullest" The "surprise" of Zhuangshan.
Gathering together a group of carefully selected monsters, the mind flayers managed to send them to Udinos to make a fuss, while they hid themselves and used "remote viewing" to secretly observe the beholders facing those with different shapes. By torturing the sensitive nerves of the giant-eyed tyrants and appreciating their hysterical rage, they can obtain a kind of twisted fun that normal people cannot understand.
"Octopus Claw" and "Fear of Phagocytosis" are the products of this performance art favored by mind flayers.
As for the Dilro dwarves, they are just the "escorts" responsible for escorting these two monsters into Udinos, and the mind flayer doesn't care about the life and death of these low-level slaves.
In Joan's view, the differences between octopus claws, phagocytosis and beholders are far greater than the similarities.
Phagophagia can stretch the protoplasm in its body into six tentacles, each about five feet long, with many mouths with sharp teeth opening at the end.
These mouths not only bite, but also spit highly corrosive acid with a range of up to 30 feet.
There are still many mouths on the body of the Phagocytophage that neither have prey to bite nor spit. They chatter endlessly like gibberish, causing mental pollution to all audible creatures around them, making them upset and at a loss what to do. It's like being hit by the "confusion technique".
These dread phagocytoids that broke into the farm caused more damage than the Dillo dwarves. Joan didn't want them to destroy a large area of unpicked mushroom fields, so he followed the old method and applied 8 rings to an open area where no mushrooms grew. The "resonance technique" attracted all the phagocytosis scattered in every corner of the farm.
Then, Joan blasted a "death spell" at the gathered phagocytoids.
This 8-level necromancer magic has the special effect of "dehydration", which doubles the damage to creatures covered with mucus, wet and slippery, such as the Phagocytosis.
A cloud of cold and dark negative energy cyclones erupted silently in the center where the phagocytosis gathered, and quickly spread to the surrounding 30-foot space, causing an average of up to 40 energy levels of "necrotic" damage, enough to instantly kill all phagocytosis and dehydrated corpses Withered and curled, like a mass of sun-baked dried squid.
Joan handed over to Tisitea and Shar the remaining enemies on the farm, and then switched the monitoring angle of the "remote viewing mirror" to the nearby Los Beast Ranch.
The enemies who attacked the ranch were mainly Dilro dwarves, and occasionally octopus claws and phagocytosis could be seen.
As soon as the kobold slaves heard the alarm, they drove all the Loth beasts scattered in the pasture back to their corrals. The surroundings of the corral are tightly sealed to prevent intruders from breaking into the corral and hurting the docile and timid Roth beasts with their huge bodies.
The "Giant-Eyed Knight" arranged the mutant spiders under his command on the periphery of the position, and spread a sticky web on the spot, leaving only a gap leading to the corral.
Intruders attacking from all around, if they don't want to be entangled in the spider web, they can only attack through the only channel reserved by Valak.
On this road, they had to rush forward against the raindrops of stones thrown by the kobolds, and what awaited them was a seemingly hard slate ground, which was actually camouflaged by Valak with "phantom rays". The raised spider web trap, the Dilo dwarves will never get out once they step on it.
Among the intruders, the phage can secrete acid to destroy the trap, and the star-shaped eyes of the octopus claw can see through illusions. However, the number of these two monsters is too small. Even if they bypass the spider web trap, there are still a large group of mutants sucking blood in front of them Scorpions and mutant centipedes stand ready.
Valak shot out a "slow ray" strengthened by the "chain hair lens" into a group effect at the right time, and the decelerated monsters then ushered in the fate of being hanged and beaten.
Joan watched the battle in the ranch through the magic mirror and was very satisfied with Valak's performance.
Valak's personal strength is not bad, but her subordinates are not as powerful as Shar, who can organize a group of weak kobolds and poisonous insects with low intelligence into an orderly defensive formation, calmly defusing the offensive of the invaders , mainly due to her ingenious command and dispatch.
In terms of arranging troops, the "Giant Insect Knight" has shown extraordinary talent and is quite a general demeanor.
The situation in the ranch was completely under Valak's control. Joan felt that there was no need to help, and was hesitating whether to move away from the viewing angle. Suddenly, he noticed that the ground in the mirror was shaking abnormally, as if an earthquake was about to occur.
"Valak, watch your step!"
Joan quickly issued a warning through telepathic communication, but unfortunately it was still a step late.
Not far behind Valak, the flat ground suddenly exploded, and mud, sand and stones splashed all over the sky.
Through the gray dust, Joan found a big hole in the ground, and a huge and ferocious head protruded from it. It bit the large mutant spider riding on Valak in one bite, and the spider's bulging belly was torn by sharp teeth. It cracked, bursting out a large amount of slurry mixed with internal organs, and the eight long legs spasmed and twitched desperately.
The monster bit the spider and didn't let go, its python-like body snaked out of the hole, and rolled around, tightly entangled Valak who had just floated into the air.
Joan hurriedly enlarged the angle of view of the mirror, took a closer look, and found that the monster that had just emerged from the ground was a huge worm that had never been seen before. It was no less than eighty feet long from head to tail, and its torso was about eight feet in diameter. It was surrounded by circles. Covered with tightly fitted dark purple chitin carapace, the huge mouth is covered with layers of spirally arranged sharp teeth, which can easily stuff a bull, and there is a thick barb at the end of the tail.
In general, this giant worm is a bit like a blood moss magnified dozens of times, and it is bigger and more ferocious than all the supernatural worms that Joan has come into contact with in the past.
Giant worms of this level are very rare. Coupled with the iconic purple exoskeleton, a scholar like Joan who specializes in supernatural insect research can recognize it at a glance. It is a "purple worm"!
