Chapter 468: Information obtained
The Githyanki didn't recognize Umbersheu in his human form, nor did they recognize Ariel or Arthur, but they all sensed something was off. The three people in front of them have completely different temperaments, even contradictory to each other. Are they actually a team?
But they are really powerful, and the elite team they brought has no power to fight back.
As brutal as the Githyanki are, they don't want to die in vain. Since these three people are willing to communicate, let's delay for a while until other compatriots arrive.
One of the leading Githyanki said to Umbershoe, "Who are you?"
Amberxiu said calmly: "Before asking others for their identity, state your name first. This is the etiquette of the main material plane."
"I am the team leader of Group 8 of the 7th Column of the Astral Expeditionary Force. My name is Genaler. Now it's your turn."
Amberxiu did not remember this convoluted name carefully, nor would he report his true identity. He was a lich who slaughtered thousands of Githyanki, so Amberxiu replied: "I'm just a passerby. Necromancer, you can call me Kel'Thuzad."
Ariel glanced at Amber Xiu, is it so natural for this lich to use a pseudonym? I don't know how many times I have practiced it and how many people I have deceived.
Wait, is the name Ultraman Tiga also fake?
While Ariel was thinking about these questions, Umbersheu had already finished chatting with the Githyanki group leader and roughly knew the situation of the Githyanki people.
There are only 2,700 Githyanki who can make it here alive, and hundreds more have died through the underwater maze, and by the time they reach the first altar, there are fewer than 2,000 in number.
Just as Amber Xiu thought, they chose the Destruction Trial for the first time, and suffered heavy casualties in front of the three giant puppets. A total of three hundred Githyanki were killed, and their flesh and blood were sucked into the Among the giant puppets.
At any other time, the Githyanki would have been able to put up a fight, but now that they were almost at the end of their rope, they wouldn't dare to go head-to-head like this, so they could only retrace their steps.
It was originally impossible. There was no turning back in this Storm Arena. Anyone who was afraid of the challenge would be killed by the guards guarding the arena.
But this place has been abandoned for many years, and there is no obstacle for them to return.
Then they chose another path. This path called the Trial of Fury was surprisingly simple. For when they reached the first platform, they felt only a weak spiritual force affecting their minds, making the Githyanki even more easily angered.
But that doesn't matter, the Githyanki are already irascible and prone to anger, so this doesn't affect them at all.
If the arena is still intact, the challengers who enter this platform should feel uncontrollable rage, and then start killing each other until the winner is determined before they can enter the next area.
Time is the most ruthless, and most of the facilities in this arena have been worn out, so the effect of this rage trial is almost non-existent.
The Githyanki can finally take a breather.
What makes them even more happy is that this arena is built on the sea, and each platform is surrounded by the ocean. The place that was supposed to be home to various ferocious sea beasts now only has skeletons left, and there are many schools of fish living in it. .
With a place to rest and food to eat, they could at least take a breather.
It has to be said that the Githyanki are really adaptable.
Relying on a few mages among the survivors, they built their own "nest" on the platform. The remaining more than a thousand people barely lived in it, and occasionally sent some people to explore other areas of the arena.
Then they will find that except for the unmatched enemies on the road to the Destruction Trial, the other areas have been abandoned. Excluding those uninhabitable areas where wind and hail are always blowing, this arena is almost as big as the small island where I lived before.
The three giant golems never seem to leave the thundering area, so the Githyanki live peacefully here. It didn't last long, but it finally allowed them to regain some strength.
Nests were built, and Githyanki eggs were placed in pools of acid to hatch.
Yes, the Githyanki are egg-laying, and they have a very special method of hatching that allows them to produce a large number of offspring in a short period of time.
In just a short amount of time, the number of Githyanki, who originally numbered less than 2,000, returned to 3,000.
But this is already the limit. No more arenas will be able to support it.
Just now, the Githyanki noticed that the long-lasting thunder had dissipated, so they sent people around to check. This team was not very lucky, and they were the first ones to encounter Amberxiu.
Naturally, this information was not given by the other party personally, but facing Amber Xiu, a prophecy mage, the Githyanki group leader couldn't hide much.
After understanding the situation of the Githyanki people, Amberxiu thought for a moment, and then said, "Take me to your leader. I have some information that I want to ask him for. In exchange, I can..."
Before Amberxiu finished speaking, another group of Githyanki came in front of him.
This time, Umbersheu needed no introduction and knew that the leader of the Githyanki was here.
A mage who makes no secret of his magic power, a mage of legendary rank.
The Githyanki will have a greater proportion of tactics, but if they really want to lead their people to survive in such a complex environment, the mages with the most tricks will have the advantage.
The Githyanki mage held his staff high, a huge amount of magic condensed on it, and said threateningly to Amberxiu: "Let my people go, or I will let you taste the taste of a meteor explosion!" Nine-level spell ·Meteor Explosion sounds quite bluffing, but casting this spell in front of a prophecy mage is really stupid.
Amber Xiu just raised his finger and shot out a red light. The legendary mage's face immediately turned pale, and the magic power on the staff became chaotic.
"Counterspell?!"
The Githyanki felt incredible.
Counterspell can indeed interrupt most spells, but is he a legend?
A mage who has reached this level has reached an extremely high level of understanding of magic, as well as control of magic. Under normal circumstances, the legendary mage's spellcasting cannot be interrupted, and it is almost impossible for spell countermeasures to take effect.
Could it be that I was so unlucky that I just met a small chance?
Amberxiu moved his hand, and Ariel and Arthur were not stunned.
The three legends showed off their power without reservation, causing all the Githyanki present to feel the immense pressure.
Especially Ariel, the terrifying lightning wrapped around her body is like the original thunder, reminding the Githyanki of those three powerful giant puppets.
"Calm down, everyone, I, Kel'Thuzad, and my companions are not here to fight with you. I only want to ask for one piece of information, and I will leave once I get it."
Umbershoe's words calmed down the Githyanki leader. The Githyanki are currently too weak to fight another **** battle, so it is best to negotiate.
"Master Kel'Thuzad, what information do you want to know?"
Amberxiu said bluntly: "Regarding the mind flayers, I am looking for traces of these creatures and plan to capture a few for experiments. I know that you Githyanki once had a grudge against the mind flayers. There should be a special way to locate the mind flayers in this plane, right?"
Hearing the name mind flayer brings a look of hatred on all the Githyanki's faces.
That time of enslavement is a lasting hatred among the Githyanki that can only be eradicated by annihilating all the mind flayers.
"We do have a way to track down those lowly brain-eating bastards, but what would you give us in exchange?"
The Githyanki leader was ready to bargain, trying to get some benefit from Umberxiu, but Umberxiu said calmly: "How about exchanging your lives? My friend, you really can't see clearly. The situation? Stay calm and restrained and try not to use violence. This is the greatest kindness I can show you."
Before, Amberxiu wouldn't have minded giving them some food or something in exchange for information, but these Githyanki took action first, and they are typical arrogant people, so you can't give them a good look.
Umbershoe's threat made all the Githyanki show angry expressions, and Umbershoe was not polite to them. He waved his hand and moved the giant puppet out of the private space.
Although it was just an immobile "corpse", its four-meter-tall body was still very threatening.
"You should know how powerful these puppets are, right? And now, they have become my trophies. Are you sure you want to force me to use violence?"
Eventually, the Githyanki relented.
These three giant puppets left a deep impression on them, and since Umbersheu was able to kill these three puppets and seem to be unharmed, it means that he has the power to slaughter the entire Githyanki race.
The Githyanki are cruel and angry, but not fools.
When the situation is stronger than others, you should bow your head, just like kneeling before the mind flayer.
It's just that these Githyanki are also super vengeful, and if they were given the chance, they would definitely take revenge on Umbersheu without hesitation.
The Githyanki leader threw a disk-like thing towards Umbershoe and said, "Take it, it has everything about the mind flayers written on it."
This disc made of special material is a special recording tool for the Githyanki, and it can record a huge amount of text in a small piece.
Amberxiu originally thought that this Githyanki might have some tricks up his sleeve, but his intuition told him that this man wasn't lying.
After taking the disk, Amberxiu's perception swept upwards, and the disk opened layer by layer and started to rotate automatically.
The Mind Flayer information he had been looking for for so long appeared in the form of a projection above the disc.
After checking for a while, Amberxiu finally found what he wanted.
Wherever the Mind Flayer lives, telepathic communication must often occur, and this disc contains a magic prop that can detect this telepathic behavior from a long distance, so that the location of the Mind Flayer can be pinpointed. .
Amberxiu said proudly: "Fortunately, I am still an alchemist."
