Chapter 2583 Telepath

Behind the mind flayers, each followed a three-armed giant who served as a personal bodyguard, and there were a dozen or so Dilro dwarves in the distance, arguing and fighting boredly.

Among the three mind flayers, there was one who was particularly burly, with skin like purple-red rubber, covered with a layer of shiny mucus, four snake-like tentacles protruding from the octopus-like head, and silver eyes without the slightest trace. Emotional, demeanor is more calm and calm than his companions.

Qiao An also noticed that only this mind flayer had a great sword emitting spiritual brilliance slanted behind his back, and a crystal pendant on his chest. Something seemed to be sealed in the pendant, which looked like something from a distance. Amber also exudes strong spiritual fluctuations.

Looking at this guy's attire and aura, Joan guessed that he was the leader of the three mind flayers, so he cast a spell to investigate his details.

...

Scouting target: mind flayer/telepath 12 (medium aberration)

Life Level: Level 17

Attributes: Strength 18, Dexterity 16, Constitution 18, Intelligence 23, Wisdom 20, Charisma 21

Special Abilities: darkvision, telepathy, spell resistance, brain drain, mind blast 60 ft., psionic powers (manifestation level 12; powers known—unidentified); other (unidentified)

...

The so-called "telepaths" refer to "psychics" who specialize in the "mind control system".

The mind flayer has a variety of natural abilities and spell resistance including "Mind Blast". It can also use its tentacles to grab prey and absorb brains. It is difficult enough in itself, plus 12 psion levels, The overall strength is even stronger than the two giant-eyed tyrants, Slaoga and Lashinu.

Of course, strength and weakness are relative.

For Joan, this "mind telepath" was not a strong enemy. As for the other two mind flayers, they were only level 8 psions, so they couldn't catch her eyes.

Joan rolled his eyes and scouted the giant guard behind the "Telepath" who was wearing a steel half body armor and had a heavy mace on his waist.

...

Reconnaissance target: three-armed monster (super-large monster, giant subspecies)

Life Level: Level 14

Attributes: Strength 32, Dexterity 13, Constitution 25, Intelligence 7, Wisdom 12, Charisma 6

Special abilities: dark vision, cold resistance 3 energy levels, throwing stones, catching stones, multiple attacks, fangs (infecting wounds, causing strength attribute damage); other (unidentified);

...

The physical attributes and talents of the three-armed giant monsters indicate that they have a fairly strong lineage of giants. If it weren't for an extra deformed arm behind them, they wouldn't be classified as "strange monsters".

Speaking of the "subspecies of giants", Joan suddenly thought of an idea. Later, he could make good use of these three big guys.

At this time, Rashinu's impatient words came from beside him.

"Those three octopus heads are just sitting there like this, not doing anything, not saying anything, what the hell are they doing?"

"Actually, they are using telepathy to communicate, but unfortunately we can't hear them." Slaoga replied.

"I don't say anything to my face, I mutter in my heart, I hate this kind of person the most!" Lashinu complained angrily for a while, then turned to ask Joan: "Mitra! Can you use some magic to steal Listen to what the octopus head said secretly, maybe it's talking bad about us!"

Raising an eye stalk and scratching his head, Joan was a little embarrassed.

"Advanced Scrying" can only remotely cast a limited number of low-level spells such as "Detect Alignment", "Detect Magic", "Messaging" and "Smart Words".

She has other ways to eavesdrop on other people's voices remotely, but she has to use psychic powers, so she is a little worried that the two beholders around her will see her flaws.

While hesitating, Qiao An suddenly received a warning from "Myth Alert", and learned that the three mind flayers were talking about him with full malice!

Qiao An immediately seized the opportunity to eavesdrop in reverse, and then couldn't help being secretly surprised!

The leading 12th-level "telepath" is named Isaac, and the other two mind flayers are named Amram and Hebron.

What surprised Joan was that these three mind flayers knew that he, Slaoga, and Rashnu were chasing and killing them, and they even had a deep understanding of the names and specialties of the three of them, and were planning to use their schemes and designs. Squat them back under the trap!

What's happening here? !

Is there a traitor among the nobles of Udinos?

ah? This... besides me, there are other traitors?

The more Joan thought about it, the more afraid she became.

Fortunately, I have the trump card of "Mythological Alert", otherwise I might have capsized in the gutter today!

The plans of the mind flayers are very insidious, and the specific operation relies on the two "mind control system" abilities that the "telepath" Isaac is good at--level 5 "Super Resonance" and level 6 "Mind Exchange".

"Super Resonance" can enable the manifester to establish a spiritual link with all voluntary psionic creatures within 30 feet around, so that all participants can share their own psionic abilities, and gather their psionic power points to jointly create A "public psionic pool".

Similar to the "Assembly Ceremony" of hags and witches, participants in "Super Resonance" will also elect a "chief" who will be responsible for allocating power points to other members of the team.

Isaac, Amram, and Hebron are the three mind flayers, and the "leader" is of course the most powerful Isaac.

With the help of "Super Resonance", Isaac can share the high-level abilities he is good at with Amran and Hebron, including the key ability that the next three of them will use-"Mind Exchange".

Using this magical 6th-level power, the manifester can forcibly exchange bodies with a nearby creature whose life level does not exceed 20.

If the subject's will cannot resist the spiritual invasion, the soul will be forced out of the body and temporarily transferred to the manifester's body. At the same time, the manifester's soul will enter the subject's body and occupy its body until the manifest The time limit expires and then return to their respective positions.

After the exchange, the manifester will gain the physical attributes and specialties of the subject, while retaining his own mental attributes and special abilities based on mental attributes, such as magic and psychic powers, which are generally similar to "transfiguration".

This ability is very suitable for dealing with a reckless man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, or a rich man wearing magic equipment - a successful "spiritual exchange" can not only occupy the other party's physical body, but also take all the belongings he carries with him. Smile.

Isaac, Amram, and Hebron intend to establish "Super Resonance" first, and then perform "Spirit Exchange", exchanging bodies with the three-armed monster servant behind them respectively.

In this way, the three mind flayers temporarily turned into three-armed giant monsters, and at the same time, the souls of the three-armed giant monsters entered the bodies of their respective mind flayer masters, and it was impossible to tell from the outside that the two sides had changed. The bodies were swapped.
