If someone didn't know the way, it would be almost impossible to find the right direction in the intricate underwater caves.

No wonder the poet said that you can reach the fifth floor faster by rowing a boat directly from Skull Harbor.

Zuo Si could not imagine how much time and energy the "Crazy Mage" spent on building the Lost City.

This is no longer a huge project that can be completed in just a few hundred years, but has been started before the establishment of Waterdeep City, and has been continuously developed and constructed for more than a thousand years.

Just as everyone held their breath and swam forward along the underwater cave, a huge black shadow six or seven meters long suddenly flashed across the slightly turbid seawater in the distance.

The poet was immediately startled, and bubbles kept spraying out of his mouth.

But unfortunately, he can't speak in the water, so others don't understand what he wants to express.

Just a second later, the swimming dwarf suddenly stopped all movements, then turned around without warning, picked up his ax and slashed hard at the halfling thief.

Korra had no time to react, so she could only kick her short legs desperately to escape the opponent's attack range.

At this critical moment!

Davian rushed forward and, taking advantage of his longer arms, grabbed Luger's wrist and tried to control him by force.

But it was a pity that before the dwarf could be restrained, the bard next to him also became very uncomfortable. He brandished his sword and rushed towards Zuo Si.

But underwater, Zuo Si is not as powerless as others.

Before the opponent could get close, he directly used the magic card - [Bigby's Protective Palm].

Instantly!

An invisible big hand appeared out of thin air and blocked Kers several meters away. No matter how he attacked, he couldn't get any closer.

In less than a few seconds after the huge black shadow appeared, two people in the team suddenly attacked their companions like crazy. Anyone who is not a fool would know that something was wrong.

So the other three people didn't even hesitate and immediately started to float quickly.

At the moment when it was about to surface, the black shadow that had just disappeared reappeared again, and passed overhead at an extremely fast speed, forcing everyone back underwater with its huge size.

But this time, Zuo Si saw the true face of the black shadow.

It was a giant fish creature that was almost six to seven meters long and probably weighed more than three tons.

But what is different from ordinary fish is that it looks very ugly and weird, with a large area of ​​pink on its abdomen, three eyes on its head, and several strong tentacles extending around its body.

When this guy swims by, the smell of seawater will suddenly become very foul.

Without a doubt!

This is a terrifying aboleth fish!

An intelligent aquatic creature as old as this world, and the most terrifying of all enemies encountered in the water.

According to legend, they were born from the seeds dropped by the ancient evil sect Skaisesis, also known as the "Blood Queen" and the "Mother of Monsters", who happened to visit at the beginning of this world.

Moreover, every aboleth will automatically gain the memory of its parents and even all its ancestors after birth, knowing how its own race was born and how the world evolved into what it is today through disaster after disaster.
p>

It can even be said that the aboleth is the living history recorder of the entire planet Toril.

Its huge amount of memory cannot be matched by any other race, not even the legendary dragon and the mind flayer mastermind.

They are immortals in the true sense, and have been living in the deep sea before most gods were born.

These powerful creatures can not only easily control other creatures within a certain range around them, but also possess psychic abilities similar to those of mind flayers.

After realizing what the attacker was, Zuo Si's expression immediately became serious. Without saying a word, he took out two [Remove Curse] cards and liberated the two people who were enslaved by contact.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another [Level 5 Monster Summoning] card and without hesitation chose to summon a [Super Large Purgatory Shark].

In the blink of an eye, an underwater beast from Baator Hell emerged from the magic circle, and according to the summoner's will, directly attacked the aboleth.

After Aboleth discovered this, he immediately began to use psychic powers to create phantoms and illusions to deceive the Infernal Shark.

In just ten seconds, the infernal shark with low intelligence was manipulated by the other party.

But Zuo Si didn't expect that a mere creature summoned by five-ring magic could pose any threat to an aboleth. It was just used to buy time.

Using this time, the other four people in the team had surfaced and struggled to climb to the shore and out of danger.

When the aboleth finished taking care of the infernal sharks, they suddenly discovered that Zuo Si was the only one left. He immediately used telepathy and asked in a slightly curious tone: "Why didn't you escape?"

"Run away? Why should I run away?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully through the spiritual connection.

Since the elect has the ability to breathe underwater, he does not need to float up for air every once in a while like normal people.

"Because if you don't escape, you will become my slave, or your skull will be pried open to read the memories in your brain."

Aboleth made no excuses and stated his plans straightforwardly.

They have no concept of "equality" and "harmonious coexistence" at all.

In the eyes of all aboleths, this world should originally belong to them.

All other intelligent life forms that were born later were pests that must be eliminated, or objects of enslavement.

If caught by an aboleth, the best outcome would be to be killed on the spot.

Otherwise, whether you have your skull pried open to read the memories in your brain, or you are turned into a controlled slave by a spell-like ability, life will definitely be worse than death.

"Hmph! You and your race are really as arrogant as the rumors say, and you don't even realize that this world has been permanently reshaped. Now, I give you two choices. One is to become mine obediently.

Pet, the other is to become a dead fish."

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si instantly released the divine power in his body, filling the waters with deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins.

In less than half a minute, all fish, shellfish, shrimps, crabs, algae, etc. within a radius of one or two kilometers were dead.

The densely packed fish carcasses floating on the water make one’s scalp numb after looking at them.

Similarly, the aboleth also felt the terrible changes in the water quality, and its body began to be covered with putrid sores.

The intense pain and discomfort made it first try to invade Zuo Si's brain, but as expected, it was blocked by divine power. Finally, it couldn't help but ask: "What on earth did you do?"

"It's simple! I filled this water with viruses, bacteria and the fastest-acting toxins in the world.

As I just said, your body is dying at an extremely fast speed at this moment.

If you don’t want to die, then don’t resist and become my pet.

Otherwise, no matter you choose to escape or fight, there will be only one final result, and that is to die in pain from disease and toxins.

In addition, I advise you not to try to control me anymore, because your ability has no effect on me."

After that, Zuo Si took out a blank card.

You must know that he is very interested in the ability of the aboleth to be infinitely stacked and transfer memories to future generations.

Because except for the aboleth, no other race on the continent of Faerûn has similar abilities.

"I choose to surrender! From now on, you are my master."

Realizing that he might really be killed by diseases and toxins, the aboleth decisively gave in.

After all, this kind of creature is very precious about its life.

Almost no aboleth would give up his life easily.

And in their concept, being defeated, captured and turned into a slave is simply a matter of course.

"Very good! You made a wise choice. Don't resist now, I will seal you and take you away easily." Zuo Si deliberately used words to deceive the other party.

Because of the barrier formed by divine power, he has no worries that his true thoughts will be detected by the other party.

In this way, without any resistance from the aboleth, Zuo Si successfully made it into a biological card.
