Survival for All: I Can Extract the Essence of All Things

Chapter 261 The scream of the soul, the spiritual field!
Lin Xiao encountered the first kind of creature that could not use red essence to restore its injuries.

The body structure of myconids is completely different from that of flesh and blood life.

But the good thing is, they can recover on their own, and not too slowly.

As the controller of the entire mushroom forest, the mushroom king can draw nutrients from the mushroom forest to recover from his injuries.

Therefore, after being tamed by Lin Xiao, the Myconid King began to absorb the nutrients in the mushroom forest.

The wounds and limbs chopped off by Lin Xiao were also recovering bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While the Mycoid King was recovering from his injuries, Lin Xiao was digesting and obtaining information from his memory.

The environment of the cave, the location of the Mind Flayer, and the passage to the Underdark
Enslaving the Myconid King saved Lin Xiao a lot of time in exploring the cave, and also gave him the opportunity to rescue the trapped villagers in Cangliu.

However, this matter also wasted a lot of Lin Xiao's time.

If he wants to use the remaining time to rescue the Cangliu villagers, he must act as soon as possible.

After all, Lin Xiao didn't know what kind of battle was waiting for him on the side of the Mind Flayer.

Shadow Escape once again, Lin Xiao followed the Myconid King's memory and began to march towards the Mind Flayer's territory.

The distance between the two was not that far, but the complex terrain of the cave consumed Lin Xiao some time.

Not long after, Lin Xiao arrived at the territory of the Mind Flayer.

This is a stone palace inlaid on the cliff of a cave.

It looks relatively simple, and it seems that it did not take long to build, but some of the details of the structure can still be seen as a symbol of the civilization of the Mind Flayer.

Lin Xiao found no trace of the Mind Flayer outside the stone palace. He only saw some brain-eating monsters and puppets controlled by the Mind Flayer.

And many of those puppets are human beings.

His face was numb, his face was pale, his body was hunched over from hunger, and there were obvious traces of experiments on his body.
All kinds of details describe the terrible things these humans have experienced in the past few days.

In addition, when Lin Xiao passed by several brain-eating monsters, those low-level brain-eating monsters seemed to vaguely sense something.

This made Lin Xiao a little surprised by the structure of this creature.

The way they perceive the target seems not to be through physical organs or mental power, but something else.

This reminded Lin Xiao of the brief introduction to this mind flayer creation in the "History of the Galan Plane Era".

Brain-eating monsters are not simple creatures. Some of them are as intelligent as any other race.

Some brain-eating monsters even have strong learning abilities and know how to explore philosophy, science and art.

Their instinct contains some desire for knowledge.

Lin Xiao had reason to believe that those brain-eating monsters had a vague sense of him because of the knowledge in his mind.

However, after Lin Xiao used his spiritual sense to isolate himself, the brain-eating monster's vague sense of him disappeared.

"This world is really full of weird things and everything."

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart.

Whether it was myconids or brain-eating monsters, they all gave him a special feeling.

This also made him treat the world he was living in more cautiously.

Some beings may not be strong, but their special qualities can get people into trouble.

If there is not enough detailed intelligence, a strong person may capsize in the gutter.

From now on, Lin Xiao will not touch any unfamiliar things easily.

Only after you have a certain understanding of it will you study and get in touch with it.
Through spiritual perception, Lin Xiao discovered that there was a powerful spiritual field that enveloped the entire Hall of the Mind Flayer.

It's a bit like Homeworld Halo, but nowhere near as subtle.

Lin Xiao thought of the information about the mind flayer mastermind.

This kind of mental field is most likely maintained by the master brain. In addition to some defense functions and early warning functions, it also has an information exchange function similar to a communication halo.

Just from the size of the field, Lin Xiao could tell that the Mind Flayer's resources were limited.

The masterminds of some mind flayer cities can cover an area of ​​five or six kilometers in radius.

But the mastermind in front of him only covered a hundred meters in radius.

This means that either the mind flayers created an elder brain that was too low-level, or they didn't have enough resources to keep the elder brain running.

The value of those Cangliu villagers seems to be becoming more and more precious at this time.

"So, where are they?"

Lin Xiao frowned.

The mind flayer's palace is shrouded in the spiritual realm of the mastermind. With his current concealment ability, there is a high probability that he will not be able to sneak into it secretly.

But after searching around the outside of the Mind Flayer Palace, Lin Xiao found no trace of any living people.

After some observation, Lin Xiao found that he seemed to have the only option of forcing his way into the Mind Flayer Palace.

"Let's test it out first!"

Lin Xiao pulled out the flame sword Chi Ming, and his figure was revealed at the same time.

The next moment, Lin Xiao felt obvious fluctuations in mental power.

The brain-eating monsters and puppets nearby rushed towards him without any hesitation.

Swish!
The strength of the monsters was actually very average. Lin Xiao didn't even use his skills or activate the constructs in his hands. He just casually killed many monsters.

During this period, he also took the time to capture a brain-eating monster alive. After sealing it with obsidian, he forced it into a space ring and planned to take it back for research.

But suddenly, a sharp mental impact pierced Lin Xiao's spiritual body.

Even with spiritual protection, Lin Xiao, who had a mental attribute of over 500 points, still felt a vague tingling sensation in his brain.

Being able to vaguely penetrate Lin Xiao's spiritual realm does not mean that the attacker's mental power is higher than Lin Xiao's.

This was entirely because the attacker used a mental power application method that Lin Xiao had never been exposed to or understood before.

The technique is very sophisticated, and it is definitely not a "crude" mental power application technique like Reiatsu and Reiwei.

Huh?
Vague doubts and murmurs flashed across Lin Xiao's consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao saw the creature attacking him.

It was a creature that was about the same height as a normal human, with four tentacles in its mouth, a head like an octopus, and a lavender body.

From a human aesthetic perspective, it can only be described as terrifying and evil.

Except, of course, for tentacle lovers.
It stood on the steps of the palace, looking at Lin Xiao from a distance, wondering what it was thinking.

Not long after, a relatively gentle spiritual power began to touch Lin Xiao's superficial perception.

These mind flayers can actually communicate with other beings directly using their mental power without having to master language or other skills.

"who are you?"

This was the message conveyed by the mind flayer.

Immediately afterwards, the mind flayer said again:
"No matter why you are here, please leave, this is our territory."

Lin Xiao's strength has obviously aroused the fear of the Mind Flayer.

Whether it is just chopping melons and vegetables, slaughtering brain-eating monsters and puppets.

It was still easy to guard against the mental attack that the mind flayer was best at.

The Mind Flayer knew that the creature shrouded in shadow in the distance was not easy to deal with.

However, the mind flayer responded with an enhanced fireball as big as a millstone.A strong sense of crisis stirred in the mind flayer's heart.

The four tentacles near its mouth opened and pointed in the void, but they were connected to the spiritual field of the master brain.

Then the mind flayer let out a weird scream.

This scream made the space seem to wrinkle.

The fireball released by Lin Xiao was scattered during the flight.

Although there was still an explosion and a raging wave of fire, the power was not the same, and it was blocked by the main brain's mental field.

Lin Xiao's behavior showed his attitude, which made the mind flayer extremely angry.

A large number of brain-eating monsters and puppets poured out of the palace and swarmed towards Lin Xiao.

Then four more mind flayers walked out of the palace and jointly commanded the brain-eating monsters and puppet troops to besiege Lin Xiao.

Whoa!
Crimson flames suddenly erupted from the flame sword Chiming amid the sound.

Lin Xiao kept one hand without doubling it, wielding the flame sword Chi Ming to perform various combat skills, and was invincible in the mind flayer's army.

Urn~
But not long after, the five mind flayers released their spiritual power and launched a siege on Lin Xiao.

The other four newly added mind flayers were obviously not as powerful as the first one.

Because of the protection of spiritual senses, their attacks cannot even penetrate Lin Xiao's shallow spiritual realm.

But the mind flayer at the beginning was different. Its strength was not weak, and it should be a fifth-level existence.

With the help of the master brain's mental field, it broke into Lin Xiao's mental field several times, seriously affecting Lin Xiao's fighting rhythm.

If he hadn't been strong enough to protect himself, Lin Xiao might have been in danger now.

"I didn't expect that the master brain's spiritual field has the ability to guard, communicate, and sublimate the aura. Could it be that the essence of the master brain is also an exquisite formation?"

Lin Xiao became more and more interested in the mind flayer clan.

Able to create masterminds and brain-eating monsters, they are indeed one of the most powerful and mysterious races in the Underdark.

However, is this the only extent?
Lin Xiao didn't know how many mind flayers there were in the palace, nor why these guys came here.

After a long battle, the mind flayers finally began to use those precious creatures called humans.

They controlled the humans to rush out of the palace and rush towards Lin Xiao.

Through his spiritual sense, Lin Xiao knew that those Cangliu villagers were not dead.

Their mental state is in a strange state, they are struggling, semi-awake, like puppets controlled by strings.

Fear, anger, madness. All kinds of negative emotions appeared in their expressions, as if they were trapped in a nightmare.

And Lin Xiao was ready to help them end this nightmare.

"I hope you are not controlled by something like Mingtong."

Lin Xiao's eyes were cold, but the flaming sword in his hand was as hot as blood.

He seemed to be dancing a flaming dragon, flickering between the puppets and the brain-eating monster.

When he was about to collide with the rushing humans, Lin Xiao's figure suddenly expanded to four meters, and then suddenly disappeared in front of the puppet army.

urn! ! !
The mastermind's mental field sounded a violent alarm.

The five mind flayers were shocked to find that the enemy suddenly appeared outside the mastermind's spiritual realm, and the distance between them was less than ten meters!
They understood that the enemy used a teleportation ability.

If the mental field of the mastermind hadn't been able to seal off the space, the huge human-like creature might have burst in front of them.

But even so, under the fierce collision of the two energies, the mastermind was overwhelmed, and the mental field was instantly disordered.

The connection between the mind flayer and the mastermind was also briefly severed.

To the mind flayer, this was like leaving the signal zone.

"Fight him!"

The leader, the fifth-level mind flayer, issued orders to his companions.

Its short, sharp and even broken sound shows that it is not at peace in its heart.

Opening their mouths, the mind flayers once again let out a mental scream that could annihilate the spirit body.

At the same time, their strong mental power also gives them outstanding spellcasting talents.

Various magic rays and energy bodies shrouded Lin Xiao who was ten meters away.

Puff puff--

The activated alchemy items on Lin Xiao were destroyed one by one, but they also helped him barely block the first round of the Mind Flayer's attack.

He raised the flame sword Chi Ming, consumed his extraordinary characteristics, and used the fifth-level combat skill he had just learned recently - Explosive Slash!

boom! ! !
A half-moon-shaped flame slash successfully helped Lin Xiao break through the defense of the master brain's mental field.

And it expanded rapidly during the flight. After splitting a mind flayer in half, which was unable to dodge, it sank into the mind flayer's palace like a 20-meter-high fin, cutting out a deep and exaggerated crack. .

This is the first time Lin Xiao has integrated extraordinary characteristics with fifth-level combat skills.

The power produced made Lin Xiao very satisfied.

The remaining four mind flayers stared at Lin Xiao with fear in their eyes.

It's really hard to imagine how a creature with only level [-] in the main brain's induction could have such power.

Is this something only sixth-level extraordinary people can do?

Another wave of humans rushed out of the palace, cooperating with the humans and monsters outside the palace, trying to attack Lin Xiao from a flank.

Absolutely empty!

Lin Xiao's figure disappeared again and appeared next to the fifth-level mind flayer, raising his knife to chop.

puff!
The transparent protective barrier shattered like a bubble in front of the Flame Blade Chi Ming, but it also gave the Mind Flayer its last chance.

Facing the threat of death, the Mind Flayer's four tentacles stretched out strangely and reached towards Lin Xiao's head.

At the same time, a surging mental power rushed straight to Lin Xiao's face, making Lin Xiao feel a great threat.

Absolutely empty!

However, facing the Mind Flayer's attack, Lin Xiao teleported again.

The mind flayer used his mind blast to explode his potential, but his attack was in vain.

When it came back to its senses, it felt a burning heat passing through its neck.

The next moment, its vision was spinning.

The headless corpse and the fleeting giant were its last impressions.

Chewing the White Soul Pill, Lin Xiao carried the flame knife Chi Ming and killed the other four mind flayers.

With the death of the fifth-level mind flayer, many humans have escaped from the control of the mind flayer, crying in fear and confusion, running around like headless flies.

Lin Xiao had no time to pay attention to them. He carried the flame knife Chi Ming and hacked to death two more mind flayers one after another.

Finally, he chased the two remaining mind flayers and entered the depths of the palace.

In order to prevent encountering traps or accidents, Lin Xiao created clones and asked them to help him explore the path, restrain the chaotic crowd, and explore the mind flayer's palace.

He himself shadowed and walked quietly, following the clone chasing the mind flayer.

Finally, after triggering several traps, Lin Xiao chased the mind flayer into a hall.
