The mage arrives

Suspended at the tip of Sarah and Cynthia's energy tentacles, there is a flower bud-like organ.They were opening wide, and a faint green beam of light shot out from the center, which happened to be printed on the foreheads of the two girls.

However, the tentacles on top of Gordon's head did not have flower buds, and the tip was a scorched and carbonized wound. It seemed that the organs that had grown on it had been burned away by the flames.

This is actually a mirror soul beast!

Gordon recalled that when he stayed in the shelter for the past few days, he communicated with other adventurers and collected all kinds of information, and immediately confirmed the identities of these tentacles in front of him.

When I first talked with Ronald about the unknown roar in the Danzig ruins, the other party told him that there is a legend that there is a monster that can sneak into the camp at night, kill adventurers silently, and devour their soul monsters.

Gordon didn't laugh off the news as a joke, but took it to heart.When he chatted with other adventurers in the past two days, he also heard similar information from them.

A monster that can kill people in their sleep and devour their souls... Gordon remembered the monster he had encountered in a dungeon called "Dreams of Despair" in "The Ancient Era"—the mirror soul beast.

The ingenious design of this monster and the unique fighting style made all the players who had experienced the copy of the hopeless dream full of praise.Later, in the "Top Ten Most Impressive Creatures" voting activity, the mirror soul beast won No.1.

This kind of monster does not have a powerful body, nor does it have a terrifying appearance, but it has an extremely terrifying ability.

It can sneak into the spiritual world of intelligent creatures while they are asleep.

Usually, those methods of diving into the spiritual world and then manipulating the will to devour the soul are relatively crude.Requires the use of a variety of mental and illusion magical abilities.

Those mages with profound arcane abilities, or warriors with strong mental strength, are very sensitive to such obvious intrusions, and can easily detect and resist.

For example, the psychedelic siren is a relatively common monster that likes to absorb the souls of intelligent creatures to strengthen itself.They can confuse those hapless sailors by creating all kinds of illusions, invade their minds, and read their memories.Then use this to compile false information, deceive the sailors, and make them completely let go of their guards.At this moment.The Psychedelic Siren is capable of devouring a sailor's soul, leaving only an empty shell.

But the mirror soul beast is different.The psychedelic sea monster uses active methods to invade, manipulate, destroy, and finally absorb the soul power of the target creature, while the mirror soul beast is passive.

When the mirror soul beast establishes a spiritual connection with the target.That is to say, after the target's forehead is illuminated by the dark green beam of light emitted from the center of the flower bud, it will not read the target's memory.But like a mirror.Reflect the other party's memory and subconscious mind in the dream, and then use ingenious guiding methods to follow the target's own thinking to gradually disintegrate the psychological resistance.

Gordon's absurd dream just now, that mysterious world, is the mirror soul beast reflecting those online novels in his mind.The constructed world.

The mirror soul beast did not read Gordon's memory, nor did he know that he was a time traveler.It can be said that Gordon himself created such a world.This ability of the mirror soul beast is passive and secretive.It had nothing to do with any mental spells or illusions, so Gordon's real and warning eye didn't work at first.Because the whole world is created by his own consciousness.

Later, the mirror real person, that is, the ray of consciousness of the mirror soul beast sneaking into Gordon's spiritual world, appeared.It was still very restrained at the beginning, just communicating along Gordon's subconscious mind, and wanted to make the other party let go of their psychological guard step by step.

But when he took out the green pill, things changed.

Of course, the pill is not a real thing, but a symbol.If Gordon swallows the pill, it symbolizes that he has completely trusted the consciousness of the real mirror, the mirror soul beast.In other words, Gordon's spiritual defense has been completely lowered, and the mirror soul beast can safely and boldly devour the soul of the mage.

It's a pity that the mirror soul beast was a little impatient. Seeing that Gordon hadn't swallowed the pill for a long time, he cast a little mental suggestion spell on it.When Gordon found an uncontrollable longing in his heart, urging him to swallow the pill, he immediately became alert, opened his eyes of truth and warning, and saw the true face of the mirror.So he immediately fought back.Because the entire Xuanhuang world is constructed by Gordon's own consciousness, so in that world, Gordon is an omnipotent god, and the consciousness of the mirror soul beast is too late to resist, so it was imagined by Gordon Fireball kills.

Even in reality, the flower bud-shaped organ growing on the tentacle was also destroyed by the mental energy of backlash.

"Go to hell!" Gordon snorted, raised the magic wand that had been sleeping in his hand just in case, and shot the arrows of strengthened Ma Youfu's acid at the two tentacles that were sneaking into the spiritual world of Cynthia and Sera.

The mirror soul beast is an incorporeal creature, and physical weapons have a 50.00% attack failure rate against it.But the energy of various attributes can cause effective damage to it.

Two Mayoufu acid arrows accurately cut off the tentacles.The bud-shaped organ growing on the top of the tentacles exploded with two "bang bang" sounds, turning into countless dark green light dust, and finally scattered and disappeared.

The three tentacles that had lost their flower bud organs seemed to be frightened, and fled Leomeng's hut with a swish.Gordon stood up quickly, and patted Cynthia's face vigorously.

The quiet pastor didn't know what dream he was having just now, his face was flushed, his chest heaved rapidly, and his breath was hot and heavy.

"Hey, Cynthia, wake up!" Gordon shouted a few times, and finally pulled Cynthia back from the dream.She opened her eyes, saw Gordon in the dark, moaned for no reason, and said, "Gorden, no, we can't do this..."

"Why not?" Gordon was puzzled.

Only then did Cynthia realize that she had woken up, and she stopped speaking immediately.The dream just now was too embarrassing, and the protagonist in the dream was right in front of her... She was confused and at a loss for a moment.This was the first time for this beautiful pastor who always dealt with everything calmly and calmly.

"Get ready to fight, we were attacked just now," Gordon said.

Only then did Cynthia come to her senses, and hurriedly got up, blushing to find her own weapons and armor.

Gordon turned back to wake Serra up.

When the little girl Youxia woke up, her eyes were filled with tears, and she muttered words like "sister" and "mother" in a daze.

She rubbed her eyes, saw Gordon in front of her, and asked, "What's the matter, brother Gordon?"

"Go get dressed and get your bow and arrows."

Sela nodded and followed suit.

Gordon withdrew from the magic space and quickly put on the mage robe.Two girls in full armor came over, he briefly explained the situation, and then the three of them left the room together.

In another room, the dwarf Grag, the halfling Sour Pear, the bard Gregor, and even Captain Ronald, who was supposed to be awake and held the vigil, were falling asleep with different expressions. among.On their foreheads, there is a light green dot.This shows that the mirror soul beast also patronized their spiritual world just now, but they don't know what kind of dream they created.

However, because Gordon cracked the mirror soul beast's attack and killed two tentacles after waking up, the other party was frightened and ran away directly, and the four guys survived.

Together with Serra and Cynthia, Gordon woke up the other four companions.

"Hey, what a pity. I saw the goddess Woking in my dream. She said that she would give me a castle made of pure gold. I woke up before I could promise." Halfling wanderers are all regretful Said.

"If you accept that castle, your soul may have been swallowed by now," Gordon said.

He told the four of them about the mirror soul beast.

The dwarf patted his chest with lingering fear: "Fortunately, I was hesitating in my dream whether I should drink Dudusha spirits or black cross flower ale, and I didn't make a decision early, otherwise I would be eaten by that monster. .”

Soon, everyone in Lucky Coin was fully dressed and armed.They left the residence and started searching for the mirror soul beast under Gordon's guidance.

It would be safer to eliminate this dangerous monster earlier.

Searching around, everyone found that other adventurer teams were also attacked by mirror soul beasts, but they were not as lucky as Gordon and others. Two adventurer teams were completely wiped out, and the other adventurer teams were as many as half, and as few as two or three The members were all devoured by the mirror soul beast, leaving only an empty shell body.

Gathering all the surviving adventurers, everyone searched all the way, and suddenly heard a woman screaming from the room at the end of the second floor.

"That's Miss Jier's voice!" said a man holding a round shield and a dagger.He was one of the adventurers hired by Jill.

"Hehe, it couldn't be that noble woman and the sorcerer's lover met the fleeing mirror soul beast during their tryst late at night." The halfling gloated and guessed.For the warlock Sarando, everyone in the lucky coin has a very bad opinion of him. The little wanderer is very happy when he thinks that the other party may be unlucky.

"You're probably right." Gordon nodded. "Everyone, be careful."

He didn't care about Sarando's life or death. It would be better if the warlock was killed by the mirror soul beast now.But for his own safety, Gordon still decided to rush to the accident site as soon as possible, and then kill the elusive monster.If it escaped, Gordon felt that he would not be able to sleep well in the next days in the Danzig ruins.

Mirror soul beasts have high intelligence, comparable to humans, and are extremely vengeful.It is an incorporeal creature, it moves fast, and it comes and goes without a trace. If it is really entangled by it, it will be a great trouble. (To be continued..)
