Chapter 322 The Eye of Insight

Under the door leading to the balcony, there is a small hole, which seems to be specially dug by the owner for the passage of the magic pet.

The frightened viper hurriedly turned its head, quickly got into the small hole made for it under the door, and disappeared into the room.

After about ten seconds, the viper poked its head out of the hole again, looking around nervously.

Viper confirmed that the Hawkman was still hovering at high altitude, and seemed to have no intention of diving down to attack it, so he hurriedly climbed back to the balcony.

Opening its mouth to grab the orange-red bowler hat it left behind just now, Adder quickly crawled back into the house, and never showed its head again.

Joan was worried that the owner of the viper would come out to trouble him, so he turned his head and flew back to the window sill of the dormitory, returned to his attic, and turned back into a human form again.

After experiencing flying for the first time, Joan simply estimated the flying speed of Yingman, and converted it into a speed of no less than 60 miles per hour, which was about the same as that of wild geese.

If he is in a hurry, he can also double the flying speed, but such a "quick march" consumes a lot of energy, and he can't fly after barely maintaining it for half an hour.

After testing Yingman, Joan's "Transformation" was approaching the deadline.

He thought that there was another species that hadn't been tested yet, so he spent "mythical power" once, and then "renewed" half an hour for the transformation technique.

The last transformation material Joan picked up was a dry "eye stalk".

According to Mr. Havel, this thing comes from a subspecies of beholder called "Eye of Insight", which is the most difficult type of transformation material to collect.

"Beholder" is one of the most well-known "strange" creatures in the world, but few people know that beholder itself is also a collective name for many similar monsters, and can be divided into many branches and subspecies.

Beholders of different subtypes have roughly the same appearance, but there are great differences in strength and temperament.

The beholders that most people recognize are actually the "main nation" among the beholder monsters. They call themselves "giant-eyed tyrants", and are sometimes referred to as "tyrants" for short.

This kind of beholder is terrifying, floating in the air like a huge meat ball covered with a hard shell.

There is a huge eyeball and a big mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth growing on the meat ball. Ten arm-like slender "eye stalks" extend outward from the meat ball. At the end of each eye stalk is a Smaller eyeballs.

Including the main eye, the "Giant-Eyed Tyrant" has a total of eleven eyeballs.

Among them, the auxiliary eyes growing at the ends of the ten eye stalks can release different magic rays, and the main eye in the center can open a cone-shaped "anti-magic force field".

In the area covered by this cone of light, the magic web will be shielded, preventing any magical or supernatural power from taking effect-not even the tyrant's own magic rays.

"Transformation" is only a 2nd-level spell, and the upper limit of magic power is not high. It is absolutely impossible to turn Joan into a powerful giant-eyed tyrant.

Fortunately, there are not only powerful "tyrants" in the beholder family, but also many weaker subspecies, such as "eyes of insight".

The vast majority of beholder monsters in the world are chaotic and evil "psychotic" patients, whose minds are full of unreasonable fantasies.

The "seeing eye" is a rare exception.

This subspecies of beholders, native to the "clock machine world", is neither evil nor crazy, and is the most gentle and calm disposition among all the strange monsters of the same kind.

The "Eye of Insight" loves to think, and enjoys pondering philosophical and theological questions for many years.

This meditation can last for decades, and the "seeing eye" never gets bored.

Even if the train of thought is interrupted by the appearance of an adventurer, the "Eye of Insight" will not get angry easily.

Rather than attacking a daredevil who disturbs them, they are more willing to engage in an ideological contest with each other, such as asking the intruder for insights on esoteric issues that they are thinking about.

If the other party can give an enlightening point of view, the "eye of insight" will be happy to meet a wise man and will help him within the scope of his ability.

On the contrary, if the other party does not have the knowledge to communicate with oneself, the "eye of insight" will drive him away indifferently.

If the intruder is too powerful, the "Eye of Insight" will not make unnecessary sacrifices, and will always try to escape.

"Ahya!"

Joan clenched his eye stems tightly, and chanted the Elvish incantation that represented "change".

The "transformation technique" took effect immediately, twisting his body into a ball of flesh hanging in the air.

Compared with the previous transformations, the changes this time are particularly drastic.

It took five minutes for Joan to get used to it before he regained his sense of existence, and then began to try to manipulate this weird body.

The beholder has no hands and feet, and is born with an anti-gravity field that floats in the air. Joan also inherited this characteristic after transforming.

Although the floating is a little slow, which is only equivalent to the speed of human walking, fortunately, Joan is now a perfectly round sphere, which can not be affected by gravity and inertia, and can float in any direction as he likes, whether it is front and back, left and right, or straight up and down. The same sensitivity.

This anti-gravity suspension method is very suitable for moving in complex and narrow underground tunnels.

Most of the beholders live in the "underdark region", and the local environment just fits this feature.

Joan remotely controlled his spherical body, floated to the glass window, and observed his new image with the help of mirror reflection.

Although he didn't care much about his appearance, when he saw the five-foot-diameter, black and purple fleshy ball in the mirror, he still felt so ugly that it exploded, it was too horrible to look at!

The surface of the meatball-shaped body is uneven, with a layer of chitin shell attached, the color is black and purple like a solidified blood scab, the texture is extremely tough, and its natural defense is not inferior to the lizardman's scales.

The front of the meatball is the face of the "eye of insight".

The entire face is occupied by the "dominant eye" at the top, the huge eyeball has a diameter of two feet, the pupil is dark purple, and the white of the eye is full of fine blood vessels.

Even though Joan knew that the "big eye" reflected in the mirror was the result of the deformed eyeball behind his neck, he still felt a little scary.

Below the main eye is a wide mouth.

Joan grinned at the mirror, carefully observed the upper and lower rows of jagged teeth, and nodded with satisfaction.

The mouth of the teeth is really good, and it is guaranteed to be delicious.

From the appearance point of view, the difference between the "eye of insight" and the "giant-eyed tyrant" is mainly reflected in two aspects.

The first is that the body is not as large as the latter, and the number of eye stalks is smaller.

The real "giant-eyed tyrant" has 10 eye stalks, while Joan's transformed "eye of insight" has only 4 eye stalks.

In most cases, the number of eye stalks of beholder creatures is positively related to their strength.

It can be seen from this that the "eye of insight" with only four eye stalks is of course not as powerful as the "giant-eyed tyrant".

The real "eye of insight" can use four eye stems to release four magic rays with different functions.

Unfortunately, the "transformation technique" cannot simulate the magic and supernatural abilities of the changed object, so Joan's four eye stalks do not have the function of releasing magic rays.

The good news is that these eye stalks are not just decorations, they can be twisted and stretched freely according to Joan's wishes, and they can wrap and move objects like tentacles.

Three of those fist-sized "secondary eyes" that grow at the end of the eye stems are real eyeballs.

These three "secondary eyes" have sharper vision than Joan's human form, and they can also twist 360 degrees with the eye stems, like a "periscope", to observe the surrounding wind and grass in all directions.
