The knight in the abyss

Chapter 266 Spiritual Suggestion
Lancelot was still a little strange. His spiritual sense didn't seem to notice the approach of a powerful enemy, but a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the next second, and he realized that some kind of unspeakable and extremely strange evil existence had come.

The surrounding shadows seemed to become thicker, and the group of burning vines not far away was not so dazzling, and the black mist had diffused at some point, making the place twenty feet away plunged into complete darkness.Because this darkness is obscured by fog, even creatures with darkvision cannot see far away.

Because they had fought against the giant skull demon holding the Eye of Sarrizdun in the Great Abyss before, everyone immediately noticed the change of light and darkness around them.They recalled what Winterspring had said before—Valastig, the master of this miasma swamp, is said to have the ability to manipulate shadows, so it must be him who came.

Lancelot stepped back subconsciously, wanting to stand closer to his companions, but a resistance came from behind, as if he was against a city wall, he was caught off guard and failed to move backwards. Move half an inch.

The human knight turned around in surprise, only to find that the spider web-like shadow had enveloped them all.Lancelow tried to move his body, and found that it was very difficult to move in any direction, but there was no restriction on moving in a specific direction.He immediately realized the reason for this situation: Valastig, the culprit who created this phenomenon, was in that direction.

Obviously, that weird shadow world creature is not afraid of melee combat. It must be very confident in its melee combat ability to use this ability that makes the enemy have to charge at it.

Fortunately, this cobweb of shadows is not a complete entity.With extraordinary strength, Lancelot and Brutal successfully retreated to the door of the stone house where their companions were.

"You are bound to die..."

Cold whispers sounded in everyone's minds, trying to inject fear into their hearts.But the paladin in the party immediately activated her aura of protection, helping her companions resist this negative suggestion.

"Hide your head and show your tail!" Brutal yelled, "Come out and let my hammer crush you!"

As if responding to the provocation of the dwarves, something really rushed towards them, it was the trolls who didn't know where to hide before.Without the threat of the flames, these wild beasts, whose vitality is more tenacious than the cockroaches, rushed forward bravely, intending to turn the group of intruders into food in their stomachs.

Lancelot and Brutal were not afraid of these defeated soldiers, they met the enemy without fear, and stopped them all outside the door of the stone house.But that kind of weird shadow web caused serious inconvenience to the two people's fighting movements. Whenever they wanted to move in other directions, they would be blocked by the solid shadow wall, which felt like being in a narrow alley Just like fighting in middle school, it is very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the surrounding shadows only blocked the spread of the flames, and could not really suppress the flames.After Lancelot and Brutal knocked down the trolls one by one, Karalin and Korra behind them accurately threw out bottles of scorching glue, making it impossible for these monsters who were more difficult to deal with than undead creatures to fight again. stand up.

During the battle, Lancelow gradually felt that this enemy wasn't that scary, but that he would use some strange abilities to play tricks.Relying on his own strength, if he just rushed up like this, he might be able to tear the opponent into pieces with a few strikes.

Just when these thoughts just popped up, the small bamboo slips in Lancelot's Sea of ​​Consciousness uttered a chime like a bell, which woke him up.Those thoughts just now were secretly 'implanted' into his consciousness by the enemy. If it wasn't for the small bamboo slips to protect his mind, he must have fallen into the opponent's way unconsciously.

But Bruto on the side didn't have his ability.The rising dwarf entered a nearly berserk state. After realizing that there were no enemies in front of him, he let out a roar, and rushed towards the only direction where he could move freely regardless of his care.

"Brutal! Come back!"

Due to the blocking of the net of shadows, Lancelot's movements were a little slower, unable to stop the dwarf, and his loud reminder was completely ignored by the latter.The enemy's strange mental hint was clearly intended to lure the opponent closer, and Brutal would inevitably be in great danger. Lancelot gritted his teeth and rushed forward with his sword raised.

If I don't follow up, maybe the dwarf's life will be explained here today.

The dwarf who was charging really felt that this monster had nothing to fear. He felt that he was the incarnation of Moradin, and the war hammer in his hand could crush any enemy.However, this is just the effect of hinting. This second-level enchantment spell only plants a small seed in the mind of the target, and with a little external stimulation, the subject can develop it into an indestructible one. belief.

Within a few breaths, Brutal rushed to the enemy, and saw clearly the true face of the Lord of the Miasma Swamp.Its whole body is shrouded in viscous, liquid-like darkness. Its huge body is made up of two oval-shaped fleshy balls, and several thick and slippery tentacles protrude from its side, making it look like Some kind of disgusting cross between an octopus and a spider.

The smaller fleshy ball should be the head of the monster. The upper part is densely covered with black eyes, while the lower part is a big black mouth with two fangs more than a foot long protruding from it. , dripping black ink-like venom.

The terrifying image of the monster was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the fire in the dwarf's heart.His mood suddenly changed from extreme confidence to extreme panic, and he subconsciously wanted to back away, but the shadow behind him suddenly became solid, making him freeze in place.

The monster didn't let go of the dwarf's momentary panic of fear.The two tentacles shot out like poisonous snakes, engulfing the dwarf at once, sending it to his mouth.Brutal could only let out a terrified scream, which was the only thing the bound dwarf could do.

The sharp fangs pierced Brutal's shoulder and easily pierced his armor.Like the spider in the main material plane, this monster first uses its fangs to make the target lose its ability to resist, and then injects digestive juice into the body of the prey, turning the flesh and blood in the body into a delicious 'soup', and finally sucks it Finish eating.

Brutal's screams suddenly became weak, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked away, and the monster opened its big mouth, sticking out a soft tongue, towards the dwarf's shoulder. The blood hole bitten out by the fangs was inserted.
