"Painful Lash!"
"Charm!"
"Pleasure Whip!"
As Kris flew past them, all the Knell Beetles became stiff. Streaks of pink light quickly spread from Kris's body and quickly enveloped the knell beetles. A shocking charm power spread from Kris's body.
"Don't look at her!" Ayton's expression changed drastically. He immediately closed his eyes and turned around. The drows and duergars around him also quickly turned around.
Although Chrissy's charm wasn't targeted at them, it still had a very powerful effect on them. Whether it was Edon, the drows, or the grey dwarves, none of them had the confidence to resist this ability. Only Suhlen could resist Kris's shocking charm.
As the pink light flashed past, the dozen knell beetles below were instantly controlled by Hathaway. The sixteen knell beetles obediently formed a neat formation under Kris's command.
"Master, they're all under control!" The little succubus Kris obediently landed beside Suhlen and said.
Only then did the duergars and drows around Suhlen open their eyes in fear. They turned around and looked at Kris with eyes full of fear.
How long had it been? In the blink of an eye, those troublesome knell beetles were easily controlled by her! If the maid was so powerful, then how powerful was the master?
At this moment, both the drows and the duergars had a deeper understanding of Suhlen's powerful strength.
Suhlen affectionately reached out and patted Kris's head, encouraging her. The little maid had done well during this period of time. She needed to be caressed and praised.
With over a dozen Deathknell Beetles, Su Lun's group was able to move about more easily. The Deathknell Beetles were strong and had thick carapaces on their bodies. Their speed was not slow either. They looked like tanks.
These knell beetles had many other uses. Not only could they be used as mounts, but they could also be used to transport goods. The roads in the underground world were rugged, but the knell beetles could move as if they were walking on flat ground. They could quickly transport goods and had many uses.
If these knell beetles were used to form a knight regiment, not many armies could stop their charge. Even if there were sturdy city walls, they would still collapse under the Earth Quaking Mountain Quaking Mountain. Suhlen was already considering forming a knight regiment of knell beetles to give it a try.
With these knell beetles as mounts, Suhlen and the others moved much faster. Many of the monsters they encountered along the way avoided them when they saw the knell beetles. Some stubborn ones were directly torn in half by the knell beetles' ferocious pincers.
"My Lord, I've explored this area when I came last time. There's a group of kobolds in this passage. There are about a thousand of them, and there's even a dragonborn kobold warlock among them! "
"There are some undead creatures in this passage. I was almost killed by the spirits there last time!" The grey dwarf said with lingering fear.
"But those spirits and zombies can't leave this place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape!"
The underground passage extended in all directions, and they encountered several forks along the way. Other than the underground orcs and kobolds, there were also some minotaurs living here. However, there were not many minotaurs, only about 30 of them. There were no cities of grey dwarves or drows.
Although the drows were said to be the strongest race in the underground world, they did not control much territory. These drows were fond of infighting, and there were more than ten families in each city. If they wanted to expand, they would need the Queen of Spiders, Lolth, to give an oracle.
In a remote underground world like this, there were basically no drows in the city.
"My Lord, the gold mine is just ahead. We'll be there once we get out of this passage!" The grey dwarf said excitedly.
Suhlen nodded. "As long as it's true, your reward will be given as soon as we return!"
"Thank you very much for your generosity, my Lord! I'm willing to serve you until death do us part! "The grey dwarf immediately patted his chest to express his sincerity.
Soon, the group walked out of the passage. At the end of the passage was a huge underground cave. After arriving here, Suhlen found that there were many pale gold ores scattered on the ground. This vein was mainly chalcopyrite, and there were also gold ores. Adamantine and gold ores were buried here together.
Suhlen picked up a piece of ore and examined it. He found that the copper content of the ore was relatively high, and it was a high-grade ore. In addition to the gold ores, there were also some silver ores, but there were not many of them. The area of the vein in front of them was very large. Although he did not carefully observe the vein, it was obvious that it was a large comprehensive vein.
There were not only gold ores here, but also many other ores. However, the grey dwarf would need to explore in detail to know how many ores there were.
However, there was one more thing that needed to be done before the exploration, and that was to clear out all the monsters around the vein.
Suhlen's group was quickly discovered. After all, more than a dozen knell beetles were too conspicuous. However, what made Suhlen feel strange was that there were more than one race of monsters secretly watching them. This was a little strange. In the Underworld, unless one race had enslaved another race, this kind of situation rarely happened.
However, this did not matter. Even if they all joined forces, they would not be able to do anything.
Not long after, just as the grey dwarves were collecting ores, the monsters in the vein slowly approached in the dark and quickly surrounded them.
After confirming that Suhlen's group was surrounded, the monsters showed themselves. There were Kobolds, Underworld Orcs, Bugbears, and Minotaurs. In total, there were a few hundred of them. What surprised Suhlen even more was that these monsters of different races were not chaotic at all.
These monsters were all wielding weapons and wearing armor. Although they looked a little crude, they were all metal weapons. Although the Underworld was rich in mineral resources, there were not many races that knew how to smelt metal. This army of a few hundred was actually equipped with armor.
"It looks like these people don't welcome us!" Suhlen looked at these monsters in front of him. His eyes kept scanning them as if he was looking for something.
At this moment, Suhlen suddenly saw a sphere with a diameter of about six feet from the corner of his eye. He immediately turned around. Behind these monsters, a large meatball was floating in mid-air. This meatball had a ferocious bloody mouth filled with sharp teeth. In the middle of the meatball was an eye that took up one-third of the entire meatball.
In addition to this eye, there were more than ten small eyes that were connected to each other extending out from the top of the meatball. After seeing these ferocious and deformed creatures, Suhlen immediately knew the name of these monsters — Beholder!
These horrifying and deformed creatures were first born in the Astral Plane. It was said that their ancestor was a powerful creature that was comparable to the gods. Beholder was a monster that existed widely in the multiverse. They were best at mind control. An Beholder had a large army. In this aspect, perhaps only the Mind Flayers were better than them.
Beholder was a ferocious, violent, and evil creature. They were born with strong psionic powers and could use this ability to enslave other races. It was obvious that this mine had been occupied by the Beholder. The armor and weapons on these monsters were also forged under the command of the Beholder.
"Looks like they're treating us as fat sheep!" Seeing so many monsters surrounding them, Suhlen was not nervous at all.
"Chris, command these knell beetles to charge!"
Chris's eyes moved and said softly, "Yes, master!"
Although the Beholder controlled a large number of monsters, after controlling so many monsters, it could not perform precise operations. Although the army of a few hundred people was large in number, as they continued to move forward, the formation became loose. Seeing such a flaw, Chris naturally would not let go of it.
After going through a few battles, Chris's commanding experience was obviously much better. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she immediately ordered 16 knell beetles to attack. More than a dozen behemoths, each weighing one to two tons, rushed over. That earth-shattering aura was terrifying, but the monsters did not react.
These monsters were all controlled by the Beholder. They basically did not have self-awareness, so naturally, they would not be afraid. However, could they block the charge of the knell beetles just because they were not afraid? The answer was that it was impossible.
The dozen Knell Beetles were like a dozen heavy tanks as they crashed into the army of Beholder. As soon as they made contact, the armored Underground Orcs were sent flying without any chance to retaliate. How strong was the impact of the Knell Beetles that weighed over a ton when charging at full speed?
The armor of the orc that was sent flying was immediately deformed. There was even a dent where he was hit. The huge impact penetrated his armor and acted on his body. Blood and pieces of his organs kept flowing out of his mouth. It was obvious that this orc could not be saved.
The knell beetles were like bulldozers that charged into the enemy's formation. Wherever they went, the enemies were either sent flying or torn in half by their ferocious pincers. There was no enemy at all. This Beholder probably had not commanded a large scale battle before. It completely did not realize how destructive the knell beetles were to such a loose formation.
The ground shook!
The Knell Beetle's ten legs quickly tapped the ground while it was charging, and a special sound wave spread out. In the next second, there was a rumbling sound, and the ground around it shook violently like waves. The surrounding Orcs, Minotaurs, and Kobolds fell down instantly, and the original encirclement had a large gap.
