693. Grow old at the end of your life
However, Jiang Yiming's purpose was not just to join a tribe of Mind Flayers, but to become an elder and gain greater strength in order to break through the direct army of Pondigat who guarded the entrances and exits.
Jiang Yiming, who had been in the abyss for a short time, asked directly to the elders: "If I want to become an elder of the Xilin tribe, what do I need to do?" β
He could feel the huge psychic abilities of these elders, but they weren't much stronger than himself, and this observation made him breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that in terms of strength, there should be little obstacle to becoming an elder.
"Uh, as long as you live for another twenty or thirty years, you will almost be able to advance and grow old with Aaron, and this time will pass quickly." A slender elder glanced at Jiang Yiming a few times, his face a little surprised.
Jiang Yiming shook his head, his tone was a little more serious, and he said that he was not joking: "If I want to become stronger as soon as possible, all I have to become an elder." Do you have any suggestions? β
There was silence, and the elders discussed frequently again, and a large number of encrypted spiritual fluctuations continued to flicker, and the demons except for specific targets could not understand these spiritual fluctuations.
"You didn't join the Xilin tribe to become an elder, did you?" Aaron's eyes turned cold, and he seemed to be a little displeased.
Jiang Yiming nodded and admitted: "That's right, I just want to gain more power, so that I can leave the abyss and go to the main material world, where there are countless human beings, how can I make Pang!" @#ι’δΈ»η¬θͺδΊ«η¨? β
He was careful not to name Pondigart's full name, the Demon Lord was said to be a god in the abyssal realm under his control, and the mere mention of its name made it possible to perceive its location.
"Hmph, you're trying to snatch food from the behemoth's mouth? That's a lot of guts. β
After Aaron heard the reason, he immediately threw away his coldness and said in agreement, "I also want to enter the main material world, but the army guarding the exit is strong, and it is not something that I can break away from as a mind snatcher." Even if you become an elder, you don't have much chance of succeeding. β
Hearing the local natives say this, Jiang Yiming was a little frustrated, but he still didn't give up, and asked, "Why?" β
"Even if you become an elder, your combat power will only increase several times, and it is still a drop of water for the 100,000 demon army." Aaron has a sense of sympathy, perhaps because he had the same idea and thought about how to make it happen.
After a long time, the Council of Elders, with its mental fluctuations, came to a unanimous opinion.
They agreed to Jiang Yiming's attempt to advance to the elder: "You have to know that if you want to take a shortcut, you have to take risks, do you dare to bury your head in the main brain?" If you succeed, you will become an elder, and if you fail, you will become a part of the mastermind. β
"You have to think about it, in fact, you only need to wait for twenty or thirty years to automatically become an elder, so why take the risk?" Aaron was also on the side to persuade.
However, Jiang Yiming is not willing to spend twenty or thirty years in the abyss, not to mention that it is very likely to be eroded by the will of the abyss and become a real demon. And he worries that after such a long time, the real world will pass a year or two.
He looked at the huge brain tissue in the pool, and felt a little dazed about the next test he was about to face, but he still said very cleanly: "I am willing to accept the test of the mastermind." β
During the days when he was on the road, Jiang Yiming saw a lot of books, most of which were snatched from the Demon Castle. Some of the books were about the Mind Flayer, and he could have memorized them a long time ago.
The Elders are the managers of the Mind Flayer tribe, and the mastermind is only responsible for reproducing the next generation, but there is a deep connection between the two. Because as long as they are elders, they will integrate their brains into the main brain rush before they die, become a part of it, and still exist for a long time.
As for ordinary mind snatchers, they can't gain a bit of independent status like the elders, they can only integrate all their thoughts into the main brain, and they can be said to be completely dead. In this way, it is difficult to describe how huge the power of the main brain is.
Jiang Yiming's current test can be said to be to fight against the mastermind, and the survival rate can be said to be very low. Under Aaron's pitiful gaze, he came to the pool and stuck his head above the pool.
Together, the elders sent out a wave of mental fluctuations that hit the motionless mastermind. After that, the lazy mastermind differentiated into a tentacle and put it on Jiang Yiming's head.
A wave of powerful psychic abilities crashed into his mind, setting off a monstrous wave on the spiritual ocean, as if a tsunami had occurred. His memories came flooding from the depths of the ocean, forming white balls on the surface of the sea, constantly being beaten by the raging waves.
Poof, a memory ball that records that when Jiang Yiming was in the fifth grade of elementary school, a certain class shattered. He felt like he had lost something, and he could no longer remember what it had been like.
"I see! As long as the memory balls on the spiritual ocean are all broken, it means that you have lost yourself, and you can only integrate into the main brain. But if you want to fight the psychic ability, it's not the mastermind's opponent at all, but I still have mental power! β
Jiang Yiming was clear about the mastermind's attack methods, and immediately adopted a new method. His own spiritual power was covered in the memory balls, as if they were covered with a layer of armor, and their defense was increased several times.
The waves on the spiritual ocean were still so fierce, but those memory balls were as hard as iron, resisting the vigorous slapping.
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Yiming's spiritual power was almost consumed, and only a thin layer remained, but the external psychic ability disappeared and withdrew from his mind.
"Win!" He felt his head dizzy, so heavy that he couldn't lift it up as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights. But at this moment, a massive amount of information poured in directly and piled up on the spiritual ocean.
The content is extremely complicated, including how to command the Mind Flayer, how to become the Master Brain when it dies, how to cast a mind ability that increases the power by 30%, and so on.
The huge mastermind in the pool withdrew its tentacles, and it became like a large ball of jelly again, and it didn't tremble for half an hour. The elders and Aaron all looked at Jiang Yiming by the pool with shocked eyes, and a wave of admiration rose.
"This seems to be the second Mind Flayer Demon who has passed the test of the main brain in our Xilin tribe for thousands of years, and its potential is unlimited!"
"I didn't expect his will to be so tenacious that he could maintain it under the attack of the mastermind."
Jiang Yiming currently doesn't have time to sort out these newly added information, put them aside, and go all out to find ways to increase his strength, including how to improve his psychic abilities and master new skills. (To be continued.) )
