The ghosts passed through the deck and came to the sky above the battlefield. They attacked the remaining Kuo-toans and barbarians on the battlefield with 'Decaying Gaze', making the barbarians howl in fear and pain. They turned around and jumped off the side of the ship, diving into the waves and disappearing without a trace.
After using Decaying Gaze, seven or eight wraiths rushed into the crowd of Kuo-toans without hesitation. They waved their illusory claws and madly attacked the Kuo-toans.
The sudden appearance of the terrifying enemy caused panic among the Kuo-toans. Coupled with the fact that their leader had been controlled and their leader had fled, the Kuo-toans' offensive immediately slowed down. If not for the low morale of the merchant ship's guards, they would have been able to use this opportunity to drive the Kuo-toans off the ship.
But strangely, Feng Chou did not seem to care about the passivity of his subordinates. After using the wraiths to stabilize the situation, he no longer paid attention to the battlefield. Instead, he looked around again, as if waiting for something.
Just as Feng Chou was looking around nervously, the light of teleportation flashed. A strange humanoid creature appeared five or six meters in front of Feng Chou.
Apart from its purple skin, this strange humanoid creature's limbs were very similar to a human's. Its size was also similar to a tall and thin human's, but its head was like an octopus'. There were five or six one-meter-long tentacles growing out of its mouth that were constantly wriggling.
A Mind Flayer!
After this Mind Flayer teleported over, it did not hesitate to raise the staff embedded with purple gems in its hand, as if it was about to cast some spell. But then, it was stunned.
It turned out that after this Mind Flayer teleported over, it did not hesitate to cast its innate spell, Mind Blast.
Mind Blast was a very powerful mental spell. It could cause an extremely powerful mental shock to all creatures within its range. It was far more powerful than a mage's Mind Blast, and it was extremely difficult to resist. Once a creature was hit by this mental shock, their mind would go blank for a short period of time, and they would become an idiot, completely at the mercy of others.
Moreover, the range of this spell was notoriously wide. Even if it was cast by the lowest-level Mind Flayers, it could affect a radius of nearly 20 meters, which could almost cover half of the battlefield on the ship.
The Mind Flayer was a terrifying creature that was naturally born at Level 10. According to Qiankun Pagoda's scan and analysis, the Mind Flayer in front of him was at least Level 12. It was just a small fry among the Mind Flayers, but to other creatures, it was more terrifying than most creatures above Level 15.
The Mind Flayer planned to cast Mind Blast as soon as it teleported over. Once it succeeded, it would turn most of the humans on the battlefield into idiots. As slaves under the Mind Flayer's control, the Kuo-toans on the battlefield were immune to this spell.
Once the Mind Flayer successfully released this spell, the result could be imagined.
But that Mind Flayer was shocked to find that its casting had failed. After all, Mind Blast was an innate spell of Mind Flayers. It didn't need any preparation or time to cast, so it was almost impossible to fail.
Moments later, the Mind Flayer realized what had happened.
"Anti-Magic Field!"
Mind Blast was also a spell. Since it was a spell, it would naturally be suppressed by the Anti-Magic Field.
As a magical creature that relied on psionic energy as its core, once it was suppressed by the Anti-Magic Field, it would lose its ability to cast spells and lose 99% of its abilities.
Realising that it was suppressed by the Anti-Magic Field, the Mind Flayer panicked. It looked around helplessly and even forgot that it had a pair of legs.
In fact, it was useless even if he remembered, because in front of him, a human holding a shield was already charging towards him with a whistling sound.
This person was naturally Feng Chou. When he heard Qiankun Pagoda's notification that the target had been suppressed by the Anti-Magic Field, he didn't hesitate to charge towards the disgusting humanoid creature.
Feng Chou charged and used Shield Bash, effortlessly knocking the Mind Flayer into the spatial gate hidden by the illusion not far behind him.
It turned out that according to Locke's memories, Qiankun Pagoda and Feng Chou had long studied the fighting and raiding methods of the most threatening pirates on the west coast.
The Brain Eaters' raiding tactics were very classic. They would use their own fleet to restrain the escorting warships, then send the Kuo-toans to approach the fleet from another direction and directly seize the ship.
Among the Kuo-toans, there was usually a low-level Mind Flayer. This Mind Flayer would suddenly teleport to the ship when the battle for the ship reached its climax and use a Mind Blast to end the battle.
This tactic of the Mind Flayer was very effective. Even if humans knew their methods, they couldn't do anything about it because Mind Blast was too abnormal. It was very difficult to rely on Willpower to resist it. Most defensive spells were ineffective against it. Currently, only the level-8 spell Mind Barrier could block this spell, and it was a f * cking instant area of effect spell!
Therefore, whenever they encountered the Brain Eaters' fleet, there would always be a few merchant ships that would be plundered. It was just a matter of the number of merchant ships.
Feng Chou and Qiankun Pagoda naturally paid close attention to such pirate groups and specially formulated a battle plan.
The plan was actually very simple. Feng Chou and Qiankun Pagoda couldn't participate in the battle. Once the Mind Flayer began to teleport, Qiankun Pagoda, who had the scanning function of the Secret Eye, would immediately detect the spatial fluctuations of the opponent's teleportation.
The Qiankun Pagoda spirit would determine the teleportation location of the Mind Flayer based on the teleportation fluctuations. After determining the teleportation location, the Qiankun Pagoda spirit would stimulate one of the Austeel Golems suppressed at the bottom of the Qiankun Pagoda to activate the Anti-Demon Field.
When the Mind Flayer was successfully teleported and appeared on the ship, Qiankun Pagoda had already opened a spatial gate behind it that led to the bottom of Qiankun Pagoda, to the side of one of the Austeel Golems that had been stimulated and activated the anti-magic field.
The plan was carried out perfectly. Feng Chou cleanly knocked the Mind Flayer into Qiankun Pagoda with a Shield Bash.
Next, Feng Chou took out the new Austeel automatic rifle and began to take aim at the Kuo-toans on the ship.
The + 3 and + 4 enchanted armor on the Kuo-toans could not block the Austeel bullets fired from the automatic rifle, which had power close to a level-6 single-target spell.
Every time a gunshot rang out, a Kuo-toan's head would be smashed.
Some of the murloc barbarians launched an attack at Feng Chou. Seven or eight wraiths immediately abandoned their opponents and surrounded Feng Chou to protect him.
The unstoppable muskets, the terrifying wraiths, and most importantly, the strange disappearance of the Mind Flayer leader finally made the Kuo-toan slaves afraid and desperate. They all fled to the side of the ship and jumped down, plunging into the sea and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The battle was finally over. The crew that had narrowly escaped death let out hysterical cheers of disbelief.
