The hollow cave is straight, but after descending a certain distance, a spiral stone staircase begins to appear. Here, Lin Xiao transforms from a drow elf back into the body of a true god.

If the true god changes form into any race, he will gain all the talents of any race. For example, if he transforms into a giant dragon, he will gain all the dragon's abilities, including the dragon language magic inherited by blood. If he transforms into a little gopher, he will also be able to use it.

Use your claws to drill holes, and if you transform into an ant, you will also gain the ant's immense strength talent.

Of course, the weakness of ants will also be inherited. Even ants with divinity are still ants and can easily capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, normal transformation is only to deal with specific situations. When faced with certain dangers, it is safer to transform back into the true form of God.

It was very dark inside the rotating stone staircase, with no light at all. Even if the True God had dark vision, he could not see too far. He snapped his fingers and summoned a light ball to float above his head, and soft white light sprinkled on the surrounding stone walls.

The surrounding area of ​​hundreds of yards will be illuminated clearly.

There is a lot of moss on the spiral stone staircase, and there are no traces on it. It looks like no one has passed here for a long time.

All the way along the spiral stone staircase to the bottom, until he stepped on the soft ground on the fourth floor, he didn't see a single living thing, and it was so quiet that it was a bit scary.

Different from other levels of the Underdark, if the first level of the Underdark is rugged hills, the second level is rugged plains, the third level is composed of huge caves and wide plains, and this fourth level is the Great

no the same.

The fourth floor is connected by countless huge stone pillars from the ground to the top of the fourth floor, forming a wonder like a stone forest.

Between the stone pillars are wide open spaces, which are covered with thin underground plants.

The tiny stems of this plant are covered with fine hairs, and they look like foxtail grass. They emit an extremely weak light that is almost invisible to the naked eye. However, almost all of the plants in the ground are this kind of plant. Countless little lights gather together, and

This makes the space on the fourth floor underground like a moonlit night. Although it is not bright, even a mortal here can clearly see the scenery not far away with the naked eye.

These underground plants rely on the strange underground pulse energy in the fourth layer of the underdark to grow through photosynthesis. As soon as he entered this layer, Lin Xiao was keenly aware that the ubiquitous strange pulses in this layer have the ability to affect the minds of living things. No wonder they can evolve.

Strange species like mind flayers.

Lin Xiao stepped on the soft ground and walked slowly, carefully sensing this strange pulse, which was like waves of invisible tides coming from a distance, endless.

Any creature that stays in this environment for too long will be affected by this strange pulse.

However, after walking for a while, Lin Xiao suddenly sensed another strange wave that was conflicting with the strange pulse. A faint call appeared in his mind out of thin air, calling him to go in that direction.

Lin Xiao looked in that direction with some surprise. He couldn't see anything because it was too far away, but in the field of vision that only a true god could see, there was a huge distortion in the strange pulse wave in the distance.

"interesting!"

Of course he was not afraid and strode in that direction. After about ten kilometers, a winding and rushing river appeared between the stone pillars. This was extremely rare in the Dark Area.

The river was more than a hundred meters wide and the water was fast. He could even see some unique underground fish jumping out of the water. Occasionally, he could also see huge shadows passing by under the water and rolling up undercurrents and whirlpools. It was obvious that there were many undercurrents in the river.

Not safe.

At this time, a slightly larger fish with silver scales jumped out of the water. Lin Xiao immediately cast a psychic vision spell on the big fish. As the big fish fell into the water, a brand new picture appeared in Lin Xiao's mind.

middle.

The crystal clear water, surrounded by a large number of large and small fish swimming around, creates a strange picture.

I tried to look down, but I couldn't see the bottom, and I didn't know how deep this underground river was.

Suddenly, the surrounding fish, big and small, quickly fled to the side. The big fish also rushed to the left crazily like an arrow for several meters, and then only saw a huge black shadow opening its cold sharp teeth and biting it. The horizon was in

This stopped abruptly.

After regaining his energy, Lin Xiao stared at the huge black shadow that had just eaten the silver-scaled fish, and once again used his spiritual vision on the big fish that was probably seven or eight meters long.

This big fish is probably the overlord in the river. It rushes through the water and pounces on larger fish when it sees them and bites them in one bite.

On the surface of the river, in the river, and even in the depths of the river, they wander around and devour them freely.

Lin Xiao's vision also entered the depths of the underground river, and he saw many various creatures that he had never seen before.

Speaking of which, for true gods, exploring unknown creatures in foreign lands is also a valuable practice. Knowledge itself is power. The more and wider the knowledge, the greater the benefit to the true body.

Anyway, he had enough time, not less than a day or two, to sit by the river and share his spirit with the big fish, exploring the mysteries of this big river together.

Unknowingly, this monster-like big fish swam downstream for probably more than ten kilometers, and came to a vast area with gentle water flow. It was unclear whether it was a lake or the confluence of rivers. When passing through an inconspicuous river bottom, suddenly the river suddenly

The mud and sand at the bottom exploded, and a huge tentacle covered with sharp teeth popped out. The three giant teeth outside the mouthparts at the top of the tentacle dug deeply into the body of the big fish, clamped it, and dragged it to the bottom of the river.

"Bobby bug?"

This thing reminded Lin Xiao of a famous strange insect, only it was many times bigger.

That big fish was definitely dead, and Lin Xiao withdrew the spell without any intention of saving it.

After wasting some time here, he did not continue to try and blessed himself with a flying technique to fly forward.

It is worth mentioning that due to the influence of the strange pulse, the magic network is distorted here, and the strength of the magician who uses the magic network to cast spells will be greatly weakened here. Lin Xiao does not use the magic network to cast spells, but directly uses his own power to cast spells.

Of course, he does not dare to communicate with the Magic Network. He is still an outsider. Once he communicates with the Magic Network, he will be immediately discovered by the God of Magic who controls the Magic Network.

Not long after, he came to the vicinity of the distortion that distorted the four layers of strange pulses in the ground. In reality, he only saw a stone pillar in front of him that was far thicker than the other stone pillars. It was hundreds of times thicker than the other stone pillars. From the surface,

It is no different from other stone pillars, but there is an extremely powerful will hidden in his mental induction.

As he approached, countless tiny light spots slowly appeared in the huge stone pillar, as if there was life. As Lin Xiao approached, he gradually got closer to the stone pillar.

At the same time, Lin Xiao felt weak mental forces touching him, but they were unable to invade his mind.

"Is this the Mind Flayer?"

There is certainly more than one type of mind flayer that can mentally control other creatures, but the one that best fits this ability in the fourth level of the Underdark is the mind flayer.

At the same time, as he approached the stone pillar to a certain distance, the huge stone pillar suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.

As the light slowly disappeared, a strange creature with tentacles suddenly emerged from the stone pillar.

This thing is like a round head covered with soft tentacles like sea urchins. There is a yellow eye on the top of each tentacle. Imagine hundreds of eyeballs staring at you at the same time. That scene will definitely scare ordinary people to death.

people.

Lin Xiao looked at the mind flayer very curiously. Generally speaking, a creature with a simpler organizational structure than the school would have a lower IQ than the school, but the mind flayer completely broke people's view.

Regardless of whether humans or other races have encountered mind flayers in history, mind flayers are known for their extremely high intelligence.

It's just that the mind flayers' gifted mind control is so terrible and frightening that the race has been artificially distorted and smeared, making ordinary people think that the mind flayers are terrible evil beings without intelligence.

Of course, this race is indeed very evil and terrifying. No matter how intelligent it is, the reproduction method of controlling other creatures to lay eggs and hatch in their brains proves that outsiders' evaluation of them is not unjust.

The mind flayer has two forms, one is the fighting form, and the other is the mind master form.

The combat type is also called an illithid. An adult mind flayer will implant a fully developed tadpole into the ear of a helpless humanoid creature. The mind flayer tadpole will burrow into the victim's brain and quickly eat it.

Lose its gray matter and replace it with your own filthy tissue.

Under its influence, the larvae fuse with the uneaten brainstem of the victim. After erasing all remaining personality and soul, the larvae will use this humanoid body as their own body. Within a day, the victim's body will change form.

The body will also begin to change, completing the creation process of an adult illithid.

As for the disgusting multi-tentacled monster in front of Lin Xiao, it is the mind master type of the mind flayer, which is also commonly known as the mind flayer. This is what it looks like.

The transformation process of the illithids is irreversible. As long as the larvae are implanted into the host for more than an hour, it will be over. No matter whether it is expulsion of disease, lifting of curses, resurrecting the dead, restoration spells, or complete resurrection spells, even the true god himself cannot reverse this process.

In addition, after the transformation, the illithid will not inherit anything in common with the victim. Regardless of whether a human, orc, or elf is sacrificed, it will become an illithid and will not retain any of the original racial characteristics.

Lin Xiao was quite surprised that there was only a mind flayer here but no illithids. Normally, the mind flayer's habitat should be guarded by illithids with powerful bodies and spellcasting abilities.

But he didn't care about this, he only knew that he had found the mind flayer and his goal was achieved.

With a finger, an invisible force acted on the mind flayer floating in the air.

The mind flayer seemed to be stimulated, its tentacles collapsed tightly, and a powerful spiritual force hit Lin Xiao.
