Vanessa stared at the small card in Zuo Si's hand with wide eyes, and her whole body became extremely nervous.
Although he has become an undead creature and no longer needs to process images through his eyes and brain, the habits he has developed for a long time cannot be changed in a short time.
Zuo Si smiled and replied: "Nothing. I just made it more inconspicuous and easier to keep. Don't worry, there will be no problems with your phylactery."
The next second...
The card in his hand disappeared without a trace under the opponent's gaze.
Without a doubt!
This is a naked and unabashed display of power, and it is also a warning to the new lich in front of him that it is best not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
After all, the opponent's spellcasting level is much higher than Zuo Si.
And choosing to specialize in necromancy magic also means that you must be in the evil camp.
So he must make the guy in front of him clearly realize that he has no chance.
Only by clarifying this point can the relationship between the two parties have a solid foundation.
To become a LV15 high-level mage, Vanessa certainly couldn't be an idiot. She understood what Zuo Si meant almost instantly, and immediately bent down and bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to break the agreement. On the contrary, I will serve you in accordance with the agreement for at least a hundred years. During this period, your enemy is my enemy, and your wish is my goal.
."
"I feel more at ease when I hear you say this. But I won't let you get nothing for your efforts. Here, here are some knowledge, notes and spells about necromancy magic. I hope it can be useful to you in the future.
The magic path helps."
With that said, Zuo Si took out the books he had copied in advance and placed them in front of the lich.
Some of them come from the Necromancer Asta, and some of them come from the "Book of the Dead".
For any mage who specializes in the necromancy system, their value cannot be measured in terms of money.
Vanessa just opened one of the books and glanced at it twice, and was immediately deeply attracted by the content.
The two nine-ring spells recorded in it [Undead Catastrophe] and [Soul Binding Technique] gave him hope of understanding and touching the deepest magic network.
You must know that no arcane spell caster who has the ability to cast eighth-level magic will not be eager to learn and use the most powerful ninth-level spell under legendary magic.
After a long silence, Vanessa finally raised her head and smiled: "Thank you for your generosity. I think we will get along very happily."
"This is what I hope for. After all, cooperation can only be sustained for a long time if both parties benefit." Zuo Si said meaningfully.
After taking care of the new lich, he stopped disturbing the opponent to prepare spells for the possible battle, and turned around to walk to Wilmes' side.
"Is something wrong?"
The red dragon, which was still in human form, checked its face and asked.
"How much do you know about Bertorgas' secret cooperation with the Dragon Worship Cult?" Zuo Si asked in a low voice.
Obviously, he suspected that the enemies hidden in the "Lucky Valley" should include the Dragon Cult in addition to the confirmed Zhentarim.
Because when fighting Bertorgas, this male red dragon directly summoned several spellcaster allies from the Dragon Worship Cult.
This means that the hiding place of the cult should be near the Xingxuan Mountains.
If it is further away, it may exceed the maximum distance that can be reached by a one-time teleportation of the fifth-ring [Teleportation Technique].
After all, the behavior of the Dragon Worshipers determines that they cannot establish their stronghold in cities, but only in inaccessible mountains and forests.
Coupled with the need to deal with dragons that have long been in the evil camp, the only place in the surrounding area that meets the requirements is the Star Swirl Mountains.
Wilmes shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I really don't know about this matter. Bertorgas has always been mysterious. The only thing I know is that he had sex with a group of human spellcasters several times.
We cooperated and successfully attacked several elf villages on the edge of the Wildas Forest. Mainly to satisfy our appetite. After all, the taste of elf meat is much better than that of humans."
"Are those human spellcasters members of the Dragon Worship Cult?" Zuo Si asked curiously.
"I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.
But I think Bertorgas is just deceiving the other party and doesn't really want to transform into a dracolich.
Because for a red dragon in its prime, its own strength is growing rapidly, and it will not consider turning itself into an undead creature.
Only those old dragons who feel that they may not survive the next transformation into ancient dragons or ancient dragons will accept the Dragon Worship Cult's proposal and let them help them transform into dracolich."
Wilmes gave an analysis from the perspective of Red Dragon.
Because transforming into a dracolich means losing the self-esteem and pride of being a dragon, and at the same time being ridiculed and despised by other people of the same kind.
Almost all existing dracolich in Faerûn will immediately die socially once their identities are exposed.
This is why members of the Dragon Worship Cult continue to offer treasures to those evil dragons to help them achieve various evil purposes, but in the end very few are willing to fulfill the agreement and transform into dracolich.
Most evil dragons just regard the Dragon Cult as a group of fools who can be used, and then kick them away after using them.
Realizing that this cult, which has frightened countless people throughout Faerûn, may not even be considered a "spare tire" in the hearts of the dragons, the expression on Zuo Si's face immediately became very strange, and he continued to ask: "Well then
Won’t the Dragon Sect take revenge afterwards?”
"Revenge?"
Wilmes smiled contemptuously.
"How to take revenge?
Don't forget, their teaching is to worship the dragon as a god and believe that the world will eventually be ruled by the dragon after death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Even more than 80% of the believers exist to serve the dragon.
Slightly larger strongholds will teach followers how to wipe scales, decorate dragon lairs, hatch dragon eggs, and take care of young dragons.
And after reaching an agreement with the Dragon Worship Cult, they will provide a certain amount of treasure every once in a while.
The only requirement is that when being hunted, members can temporarily hide in the dragon's lair for refuge.
In the eyes of many giant dragons, they are even similar to slaves and servants such as kobolds and orcs."
"Hahahaha! It sounds really humble." Zuo Si finally couldn't help laughing.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand why a powerful legendary spellcaster like Sammaster, who was once a chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, would create such a ridiculous organization as the Dragon Cult.
You must know that dragons are one of the most difficult creatures to tame and control in the world.
It is impossible for metal dragons from the good camp to accept transformation into the evil undead form of dracolich, so members of the organization are destined to develop color dragons from the evil camp.
But since they are all dragons from the evil camp, naturally they all put their own interests first.
Like the evil and chaotic red dragon, the black dragon may turn against him at any time and kill all the people who went to the Dragon Worship Sect.
Although the lawful evil blue dragons and green dragons are better, they are very likely to just use the people of the Dragon Cult as slaves and cannon fodder.
As for the white dragon in "The Shame of the True Dragon", he generally doesn't like to communicate.
They usually simply skip the dialogue part and attack directly, without giving the Dragon Cult members a chance to speak.
I really don’t know if Sammaster, the leader himself, would behave so humbly when facing a dragon.
Or maybe he doesn't regard the members of the organization as human beings at all, but only regards them as tools to achieve his own evil purposes.
"Do you know how many giant dragons live in the Star Swirl Mountains? How many of them are from the evil camp?"
Zuo Si thought for a moment and then quickly raised a question he was most concerned about.
He needs to confirm how many potential allies the Dragon Cult has in this area.
Wilmes lowered his head and thought for about two or three minutes, and replied in an uncertain tone: "As far as I know, there are four red dragons settled around this mountain range, not including Balagas."
"Flame". As for the green dragon, there seem to be two. The black dragon and the blue dragon are not sure. The white dragon probably won't like to build a nest in such a warm environment."
"Okay, I understand. You should also prepare a little bit and join us in tonight's action."
Zuo Si finally realized that asking questions like this was in vain.
On the one hand, Wilmes himself is not the kind of red dragon who likes to use his brain, let alone spend time collecting such intelligence and information.
On the other hand, dragons are far more defensive against their own kind than other races.
He will not easily tell anyone the exact location of his nest, even his biological parents.
This is reflected to the extreme in the five-color evil dragon group.
"Me? Are you sure?"
Wilmes raised his eyebrows in surprise.
You must know that she does not have any professional level, nor has she learned how to use weapons or equipment to fight in human form.
This means that once she encounters a strong enemy, she will inevitably transform into a red dragon form and use her flame breath, claws, teeth, tail and wings to kill the opponent.
Zuo Si nodded meaningfully: "Yes. Because I have a very strong hunch that this time the Zhentarim will join forces with the Dragon Worship Cult. And their trump card should be a dragon lich, and they may need you then.
The power of."
"If I kill the dracolich in battle, can I take half of its property?" Wilmes narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
As a red dragon with an evil and greedy nature, she will obviously never stop craving for more treasures.
Zuo Si was amused when he heard this and quickly responded: "If you can do this without the help of others, then I promise you can take away half of the Dragon Lich's treasure, but not any
Magic items."
"Deal!"
Wilmes was afraid that Zuo Si would regret it, so he quickly agreed.
She obviously never seriously considered whether she could really deal with a powerful dracolich.
But Zuo Si didn’t bother to remind him.
After all, it’s good to occasionally let this guy who is just reckless all the way suffer a little loss to build up his memory and brain.
In this way, the caravan set up camp in advance before dusk.
Due to the magic item [Endless Kettle], even though the caravan has a large number of people and livestock, it does not need to find a water source every time it sets up camp.
After a while, a large iron pot was set up and started to boil hot water.
The slaves in charge of cooking cut the bacon, bacon, and cured meat carried on the carriage into small pieces and threw them in, stewing them with potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onions, beans and other vegetables that would not go bad if they were carried for a long time. Some pots cook salted fish, kelp and some dehydrated and dried shell meat.
As for the staple food, of course it is hard black bread, which is cheap, can fill the stomach, and can also be used as a self-defense weapon at critical moments.
Bernard, who always likes to "save costs" as much as possible, is not completely disappointed at last. The brown bread he bought just has a little more bran at best, and does not contain such terrible things as sawdust.
Of course, these seemingly unappetizing dishes were only for slaves and hired civilians.
In comparison, the mercenaries eat much better.
Not only is there relatively fresh meat and fish, but the bread is also relatively expensive white bread, or large flatbreads baked with wheat flour.
As for Zuo Si, the food here is basically the same as the food at the hotel in the city.
Inside the huge tent, the tables were densely packed with more than thirty plates of dishes exuding tempting aromas.
Welby, a halfling who aspired to become a great chef, took the recipes given to him by Zuo Si and cooked them himself, successfully making a lot of exotic delicacies that were full of color, flavor and flavor.
And compared with most restaurants in Faerûn that don’t pay attention to plate presentation at all, these dishes today are carefully designed when plated, and the bright color combinations look full of appetite.
"Walkien, the goddess of wealth! Is this... is this the special delicacy of Karatu in the far eastern continent? It's unbelievable! I feel that none of the so-called high-end restaurants I have eaten in Amn can compare with
Comparable to it."
Bernard swallowed and sighed in admiration.
Likewise, he also saw unlimited business opportunities in these exquisite foods.
"Hey! These are just a small part of the recipes. When I arrive in Askatra, I will make sure that everyone in Amn knows that I, Welby, am the greatest chef in Faerûn. Of course, in
Before that, I would like to ask Mr. Soth to taste the taste of these dishes and see if there is anything that needs improvement."
With a flattering smile on his face, the halfling put a little of each dish on an empty plate, then brought it to Zuo Si, his eyes full of anticipation.
He had already tasted the taste of these dishes just now, so he was full of confidence.
Looking at the familiar colors and flavors on the plate, Zuo Si, who has often tasted dark dishes, was almost moved to tears.
This time I can finally eat something with normal taste.
As for the curry-flavored green cheese, thick soup made with broken bread crumbs, and minced meat made from pork, fish, and various internal organs, I can roll them all as far as I want.
From today on, dark cuisine and I are incompatible!
Zuo Si swore that even if he starved to death, he would never touch any food that looked abnormal again.
Putting on the air of a gourmet, he resisted the urge to eat haise, pretended to taste the taste of each dish, and immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! It's basically up to normal standards."
"Awesome!"
After receiving the affirmation, Welby jumped up excitedly, as if he had already seen the spectacular scene of a crowded restaurant in the future.
"Don't just watch, sit down and eat together."
After Zuo Si gave the signal that he could eat, Rhett, who had been waiting for a long time with a plate, immediately launched an attack on the meat dishes closest to him.
In the blink of an eye, a plate was emptied, and an extremely satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Others were not to be outdone and joined the ranks of snatching delicious food.
After all, being able to have such a delicious dinner in such a remote place is definitely an ultimate enjoyment.
Although most people's eating habits are not very good, they can even be called rude.
But Zuo Si didn't care at all.
Because in his view, things like etiquette and morality are always requirements for oneself, rather than used to restrain others.
It would be too vulgar to use these things as a tool to express one's own sense of superiority or to despise and belittle others.
After the meal was over, Bernard came to the door immediately and said enthusiastically: "Sir Soth! I think you can use your recipes to open more stores in the major towns in Amn.
At that time, the style of Karatu from the Eastern Continent will be the main focus. I believe there will be countless nobles eager to experience the exotic customs, and wealthy businessmen will be willing to pay for it.
If we succeed in Amn, we can continue to expand to Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep City, Neverwinter City, and Silvermoon City in the north..."
"It's a very good proposal, I will consider it. But it is too early to talk about it now. Don't forget, there are still a lot of troubles and enemies to deal with on the road to Ascaltra."
Zuo Si quickly interrupted the businessman's delusion.
After all, although these business plans sound very feasible and can make a lot of money, the problem is that they are just castles in the air.
"Sorry, I was reckless."
Bernard quickly bowed his head and apologized.
Because along the way, he has realized how easy and comfortable it can be to make money with strong power as a guarantee.
Not only do you not have to worry about being robbed by bandits and monsters, but you can also loot the other party and make high profits by using the damage these guys cause to the city.
Similarly, Bernard was determined to tie the powerful spellcaster in front of him to him through profit no matter what.
Zuo Si easily saw through the businessman's thoughts, chuckled and shook his head: "No, you don't have to apologize.
I have said more than once that you are an excellent businessman, and even most of your peers have a keener business sense.
But the problem is, if your vision is just to make profits, you will never want to stand at the top of this field.
In my opinion, buying a certain commodity from a low-price area and then selling it to a high-price area is a third-rate businessman. They have no ability to resist risks. Once the market price fluctuates violently, they will inevitably lose money or even go bankrupt; p>
Those who master the origin of at least one rare raw material, and then process it into high-end products and then sell them are second-rate businessmen. They have mastery of the origin of raw materials and processing technology, and have a certain ability to resist risks, but they are limited to
That’s it;
Monopolizing an entire industry, making its products an indispensable part of a country, and controlling the economy of a large area by lending money, buying off officials to issue decrees that are beneficial to them, etc., are first-class businessmen. They control the market and channels
, can even have an impact on politics, and is protected by the national army;
On top of this, there is also a kind of super businessman.
They can easily use economic means to plunge a country into turmoil, chaos and civil war, or they can unify a divided land, or even turn a country into a plaything in their own hands.
Tell me, what kind of businessman do you want to be?"
Instantly!
Bernard fell into silence.
It was the first time that he heard someone describe the levels of businessmen so clearly, and they did not simply look at the total amount of wealth, but divided them by influence and business methods.
Among them, the lower the level of the businessman, the worse the ability to resist risks.
Senior businessmen are just the opposite, and can even make huge profits from crises and risks.
There is no doubt that judging from the business scope of Bernard and his family business association, it should be in an area between second-rate and first-rate.
Seeing the young businessman in front of him frowning and thinking seriously, Zuo Si stretched out his arm and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him: "Don't worry, you can think about it slowly, and give me a clear answer after you think about it clearly. This is related to the way we cooperate in the future and what kind of support I will give you.
Amn is the most special country in Faerun, a country completely ruled by businessmen and money.
Although its history is short, it has a very developed business and is full of infinite possibilities.
Remember! Long-term interests are the most important, never let short-term interests blind you."
After the conversation between the two ended, Zuo Si quickly calmed down and lay down in the carriage to rest for a while.
When it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, he opened his eyes, gathered his team members, and set off on the road to "Lucky Valley".
Just as Halfling Welby described it, when everyone approached this area, they were immediately shocked by the extremely dangerous terrain on both sides.
Especially with a drop of more than 100 meters above the head, even a stone the size of a fist dropped can cause considerable damage.
If you are unlucky and get hit in the head and die directly, it is not a strange thing.
What's even scarier is that the road is also very narrow.
If a huge stone is pushed down from above, the intersection will be blocked immediately.
"Damn it! This ghost place makes my hair stand on end. No wonder so many caravans have mysteriously disappeared. If someone ambush and launch an attack at a high place, I'm afraid not many people will be able to escape alive."
Rhett couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Not to mention him, even Wilmes, who has always been proud of himself, doesn’t look very good.
Because in this environment, even if she changes back to the red dragon form, she may be crushed to death by a boulder pushed down from a height.
Although the dragon is physically very powerful, it is not invincible.
At least in the face of falling rocks weighing several tons, they are no different from other creatures.
And because the passage is too narrow, there is a certain probability that Wilmes will be stuck in the middle of the passage and unable to move.
"It seems we need to search both sides of the cliff."
Vanessa gives her own advice.
As a local of Zhazesibo, he has long heard many rumors about this valley.
However, due to the mage's unique indifference and arrogance, he never took those caravans that disappeared inexplicably as a thing, let alone cared about their life and death.
"Have you memorized [Flying Technique] today?" Zuo Si suddenly asked.
Vanessa nodded without thinking: "Yes. Considering the terrain here, I memorized a three-ring [Flying Technique]. However, there seem to be a lot of people in the team. I'm afraid I can't let everyone fly up.
."
"It doesn't matter, I have a magic wand that can just make up for this shortcoming."
With that said, Zuo Si took out the [Memory Wand] that he had never used much and handed it over.
"[Memory Wand]? This is a good thing!"
Vanessa is indeed a LV15 high-level mage. She recognized the four-ring spell stored in the wand as soon as she got it.
With this thing, you can instantly restore any three-ring magic in today's memory.
Just when he was about to start chanting a spell to release the [Flying Technique], a creepy sound suddenly came from the top of one of the cliffs.
Click——click——click——
Huntington, who had a keen sense of hearing, suddenly changed his face and immediately issued a warning: "This is the sound made when wood is crushed and broken by a heavy object! Someone above should be pushing a quite huge stone!"
"What?!"
Wilmes wanted to transform into a red dragon on the spot and see if he could climb up the cliff and burn those bastards pushing rocks to death with his flame breath.
But before she could take any actual action, Zuo Si raised his hand to stop her reckless behavior: "Relax, do you think I rashly approached this valley without making any preparations?"
The words have not yet been spoken!
Thousands of shadowy creatures emerged from the cliffs on both sides.
Like a black tide, they directly submerged the ogres who were pushing the stones hard.
The latter didn't even have time to react before he was killed alive by the negative energy generated by the touch of the incorporeal body, and then became a member of the Shadow Army.
Several hill giants who were holding rocks high and ready to throw them down were immediately frightened and hurriedly threw the rocks in their hands towards the shadow.
As expected, they all passed through.
Because they are incorporeal creatures and are made of pure energy, pure physical attacks without any magic such as stones cannot cause even a little bit of damage to them.
"The information we received was wrong! Where did so many shadow creatures come from?" A woman wearing a dark red robe asked sternly.
In order to prevent these shadows from approaching her, she released [Protection from Evil] and [Mage Armor] as quickly as possible.
The former can effectively protect against attacks by evil creatures, while the force field generated by the latter can resist the touch of incorporeal creatures.
"Don't ask me! How do I know! The top priority now is to retreat quickly! Even if we add magic wands, we can't kill so many shadows."
Another male mage also quickly applied protective magic to himself.
However, these attacks are obviously not as smart as these two mages.
Several arcane spell casters did not even use protective magic, but directly aimed at the swarming shadows and began to release [Fireball], [Lightning], [Burning Hand], [Fire Sphere], and [Scorching Ray].
] and other large-scale destructive energy-building magic.
Suddenly, various flames and lightning on the cliffs on both sides lit up the black night sky.
Although at the beginning, they did kill hundreds of low-level shadows.
But soon, when the first round of actual spell combat was completed, more shadows rushed out from all directions, easily killing these guys who lacked magic protection.
Others try to use [Wall of Force] to build a line of defense that incorporeal creatures cannot overcome.
But soon I discovered that an astonishing number of shadows suddenly appeared behind me.
As a result, the [Power Wall Technique] just released became an obstacle preventing him from retreating and escaping.
The most important thing is that the dispatch of the Shadow Legion directly disrupted the enemy's deployment.
As a result, a large number of boulders and stones piled on both sides of the cliff could not be pushed down at all.
At the same time, they also bought enough time for Vanessa to calmly give everyone the [Flying Technique] effect.
In about a few minutes, Zuo Si and others flew up from the bottom of the valley.
He first inspected the battlefield with the magic glasses he had just put on, and then directly ordered the strange objects: "Control those hill giants, don't let them die accidentally."
"As you wish."
The strange object immediately responded through the spiritual connection, and at the same time took over Wilmes' body, quickly flew over and threw out the mind control.
Instantly!
The four hill giants just stood there with stupid expressions.
Although they were not very smart to begin with, they have obviously become stupider now.
Fortunately, the Shadow Legion also received new orders and did not continue to attack. Otherwise, although the giant's vitality is relatively tenacious, it cannot withstand the terrifying negative energy generated by the touch of dozens of shadows.
You don't need to ask to know that Zuo Si plans to make all these hill giants into creature cards after the battle is over.
With the addition of two spellcasters, Alena and Vanessa, those mages, warlocks and priests among the enemies who were still desperately resisting suffered disaster one after another.
Especially the latter, who has rich experience in spell duels, released the four-ring magic [Dimensional Anchor] almost immediately, blocking a guy who wanted to use teleportation magic to escape.
Immediately afterwards, he released [Heavy Mist Technique] to block the sight of enemy spellcasters, providing more opportunities for shadows to sneak attacks.
But this isn’t the end yet!
As a LV15 Necromancer, Vanessa unceremoniously used the corpses of dead enemies to release the terrifying [Animated Army of the Dead].
All the corpses lying on the ground stood up in just a few seconds!
Some of them were directly transformed into zombies, while others were left with only a bloody skeleton.
Just as some priests were holding up their holy symbols and trying to use [Rebuke Undead Creatures] to control these undead, Vanessa sneered and used the most lethal of the five-ring magic [Death Cloud Technique].
When the yellow-green poisonous cloud spread among the enemies, more than half of the low-level mages and priests died suddenly on the spot.
With their fragile vitality, they are unable to withstand the harm caused to the body by the poisonous cloud.
After all, this poisonous cloud created through magic is much more lethal than 99% of the chemical weapons on the earth.
Ordinary people will die immediately if they get even a tiny bit of it, not to mention taking a breath.
Similarly, the higher-level spellcasters are not much stronger.
Anyone affected by [Death Cloud Technique] will immediately begin to suffer from severe coughing, vomiting blood, convulsions and other poisoning symptoms. It is impossible to chant the spell, let alone enter a state of concentration in spell casting.
Alaina is as simple and crude as ever, constantly releasing various fire magics, burning the remaining enemies to ashes one after another.
Even those who turned around and wanted to escape were called out by Huntington who flew into the air.
Relying on his condescending advantage, he maximized the power of [Strong Arm Bow].
Even some armors that look quite strong will be easily penetrated by enchanted arrows, and then be overwhelmed by shadows or low-level undead.
The so-called battle between spellcasters is actually a competition between who is more prepared and who has more resources, wealth and intelligence.
Obviously, Zuo Si now has an overwhelming advantage in this regard.
And as time goes by, this advantage will snowball and become bigger and bigger.
He himself didn't even take action from beginning to end, and the battle had already come to an end.
After confirming that there were no threats around him, he landed on the ground and captured the four hill giants first.
Although this creature with relatively low intelligence is only slightly stronger than a half-giant, it is still a member of the giant group.
With a little upgrade, you can instantly become a powerful warrior and human shield.
After all this was done, Zuo Si turned around and asked Qiwu: "How is it? Did you just read the enemy's memory and thinking?"
"Yes, Master. I read it. Most of these guys are members of the Zhentarim. They set up an ambush here under Manzon's order and want to seize a chest from you. In order to achieve this goal,
They cooperated with the Dragon Worship Cult, which has a secret base nearby, and set up ambushes around the valley."
Qiwu explained all the information it had obtained through spiritual connection.
"Where is the stronghold of the Dragon Worship Cult? Is there anything dangerous hidden inside?" Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and asked.
Qi Wu immediately replied: "The location of the stronghold is in a cave about two kilometers east of the valley. As for what is inside, I don't know for the time being. Because the Dragon Worship Sect only sends out some low-level members, and they know too much.
Less."
"Okay. It seems we have to go and see for ourselves what is hidden inside."
With that said, Zuo Si took out the upgraded creature card - the large dire leopard, and directly paid mana to summon it.
Instantly!
A leopard comparable in size to an adult Siberian tiger appeared out of thin air.
In particular, the two sharp fangs extending from the mouth look like a saber-toothed tiger, the claws have become wider and larger, and the eyes are shining with an extremely wild light.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There is no doubt that this is a typical ferocious animal.
Affected by magical power, they are often larger and more ferocious than their own kind, which can be distinguished at a glance just from their appearance.
"Red?"
Zuo Si tried to call out the name he gave the leopard.
The latter immediately came closer and bowed his huge head twice to show his closeness.
After confirming that this big guy was still the same leopard, he immediately smiled happily and rubbed the beautiful fur on the big cat's body vigorously.
The happiness of Freecon is so simple.
With the approximate location of the Dragon Cult's secret stronghold, and the big cats that can track in the wilderness and mountains, everyone briefly cleaned the battlefield and set off immediately.
After a while, the entrance to the cave was found at the foot of a mountain peak.
Looking at the two guys guarding the door, Qiwu immediately asked: "Master, do you need me to control them?"
"Of course! By the way, read the memory and find out what dangers there are in the cave that need to be paid attention to." Zuo Si answered directly in the affirmative.
He will not be merciful to members of evil organizations such as the Dragon Cult and the Zhentarim.
It has to be said that the effect of psychic abilities is immediate when dealing with most creatures.
The two members of the Dragon Worship Cult guarding the door didn't even know who the enemy was, so they unknowingly turned into controlled puppets and walked straight over from a distance.
The strange object directly controlled Wilmes to open his mouth wide, and extended four tentacles from his throat. In front of everyone, he pried open the heavenly spirit caps of the two unlucky guys, dug out the brains inside and ate them clean.
Such a brutal scene made even Zuo Si, who was used to big scenes, feel a little numb, not to mention other people.
Fortunately, no one here is from the good camp, otherwise I would have to go berserk.
Moreover, Zuo Si also noticed that after the brains of two low-level members of the Dragon Worship Cult were eaten, the spiritual energy that the strange object had just consumed seemed to be replenished.
Obviously, this is different from the normal mind flayers who only eat brains to maintain their own survival needs.
It can actually quickly replenish its consumed spiritual energy by eating the brains of intelligent creatures.
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is this?" The half-orc Rhett backed away in fright.
In contrast, Vanessa, who had become a lich, was much calmer, and just asked in a slightly curious tone: "Your Excellency Soth, is Ms. Wilmes a mind flayer?"
"No, it's not. What you just saw was just a strange object that I made using the mind flayer's brain, and then awakened it through some special abilities to temporarily reside in Wilmes' body. In fact, Wilmes
Si is an adult red dragon."
Zuo Si didn't hide anything and told the truth openly.
Because he holds Vanessa's life box in his hand, he doesn't worry about the other party betraying her or leaking this secret to others.
"What? Wait! You mean...you used a strange object created from the mind flayer's brain to control an adult red dragon?" Vanessa opened her mouth in disbelief.
He originally thought that after becoming a lich, nothing could cause him to have too strong emotional fluctuations.
But now, everyone is shocked and doesn't know what to say.
Rhett even swallowed subconsciously, once again refreshing his understanding of Zuo Si's danger.
No wonder that every time he gets close to Wilmes, he always feels inexplicable nervousness and fear.
It turned out that it was not an illusion or hallucination, but that we were actually facing a powerful dragon.
Thinking of this, the orc quickly pulled up his cloak to cover up the red dragon armor on his body.
Wearing this armor in front of the arrogant, conceited, and cruel red dragon is definitely a naked provocation.
"Okay, there's no need to make such a fuss. Wilmes and I have known each other for a long time. Now, let's focus our attention on this Dragon Cult stronghold. Yelnia, tell me how deep is the cave inside?
"Zuo Si asked, staring at his shadow.
