Chapter 36: The Phoenix Sky and Mythical Creatures
Countless winged people, birds and beasts, and giant birds, the black pressure gathered into one, like a black cloud focused by death, and the pressure came from the southern horizon.
“....... The defensive zone was breached, and the Winghead Clan rushed over. ”
In the town, screams and screams are combined, and the cries of men and women resound in the sky, and with the chaotic scene, it is reminiscent of the end of the world.
Suddenly, with a coquettish sound, the whole sky burned, starting from the ground, and suddenly gushed out of the glow red clouds, quickly covering the entire sky.
The fire cloud came from the bottom up, extremely fast, and directly hit the black cloud of the countless aggregates.
The flying objects that collided with Hongxia, whether they were giant birds or winged people, instantly lost control and fell straight down.
In the shot, the dense black dots fell, making people's scalp tingle.
The giant bird, which is more than three meters long, is a huge crater when it falls, and the fatal wound is only a long arrow that pierces the eye.
Those terrifying giant beasts were attacked by the red light array in the air, like a swarm of flies struck by the power grid, falling densely.
And after the lens zoomed in, I saw clearly that it was not a red cloud at all, but a collection of long arrows, flying arrows, and flying stones wrapped in countless pale red spiritual light!
The camera zooms in, and although most of the bows miss, there are always a few long arrows that draw irregular trajectories and hit the most threatening large creatures.
At the point of origin of the red clouds, on a roof, a tall woman bared her bandaged right shoulder, holding a bow and looking into the distance.
Seeing that the south had cleared a piece of the sky, and that there was a gradually stabilizing defensive line, he lowered his longbow again.
“....... This is something that humans are capable of doing?! Satellite laser arrays are not so outrageous, right? ”
While the rabbit was re-evaluating the world's standard of combat power, Jiang Fengyin, who turned on the display screen on the watch, said with a smile.
"This should be my famous battle back then, and after the war, I won the honorary title of 'Phoenix Sky', which is probably used to describe my fighting style of filling the sky without leaving any room. At my peak, I could have shot a salvo of 10 would-be mythical shooters in my longest one-minute burst period. ”
The calm tone reveals full of confidence, and there is no reason not to be proud of this kind of strength that far surpasses its peers.
How? That's probably the next scene.
The player has automatically cut to the next scene, this time not in the distance, the tall stands and arena seem to be a specially made shooting range.
Sister Yinzi, who is completely different from now, appeared, holding three bows, looking ahead, with a faint spiritual light flowing between her foreheads.
Yes, the three bows are right, just like the mythical Nezha with three heads and six arms, and the eight-armed Jiang Fengyin also has two free hands to hold a large tower shield.
Then, there were three longbows that had been charged, and they shot long shots into the sky.
"An unrestrained cupola."
The camera tracks the long arrows, drawing arcs in the sky, but it seems that the trajectory is wrong, too high and too low, and there is a slip on the ground, and it looks like it is all off target.
Suddenly, the three arrows strangely descended or floated upward, recorrected their trajectory, and after a short glide, slammed through the target.
"3 km target breakdown, 5 km target breakdown, 10 km breakdown."
With the sound of the loudspeaker mechanical commentary, the camera is here, and in front of Lan Mengqi is Sister Yinzi's playful smile.
"That, is this really Sister Yinzi...... I don't mean that, it's just feeling, a little, a little....... Different? Kind of like ......."
Regardless of the difference in appearance, the female archer with a ponytail inside has sharp eyes, a confident and serious expression, and although she shoots with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she really enjoys the cruel sneer of the battle.
"A bit like an eagle boy? Oh, it's a bit like, it's normal for children to imitate their parents, but sometimes it's too brainy to give people a headache. Eagle Boy wasn't like that before, but he liked to laugh back then. ”
The silver sister on the screen is an out-and-out Valkyrie, and now she is a little silly when she laughs, but she looks like a young woman who is obsessed with TV series and shopping...... Well, with that bunch of shopping lists and TV drama channel VIPs as evidence, it's not just "like" anymore.
Of course, Sister Yinzi took out the past videos, not just to arouse the rabbit's interest in the genre, some things must be made clear to the new disciple at the beginning.
"Do you think it's necessary for me, who can twist the trajectory of the bow and arrow at will, to practice 'folding'?"
Now, the rabbit doesn't understand it again, isn't this a trick of the genre, isn't it forced to learn from the beginning.
"No, I didn't develop it, I'm not so bored to develop archery skills that are useless to me. I did learn it later, but from the beginning, it was an archery technique developed by the Eagle Boy (borrowed from other genres) to mimic my ability to twist the trajectory of an arrow, in an attempt to master my more advanced archery skills. ”
As she spoke, Sister Yinzi's face became more and more strange.
"His filial piety willingness to inherit the genre is very touching, but sometimes I wonder if he is too powerful, my signature long-range shot, is based on twisting all the way, adjusting the trajectory of the arrow, he has become a super-concentration calculation, first calculate the wind speed, trajectory, opponent dodge and other factors, and then come to the long-range sniper in place at one time......... The name is the same, the effect is almost the same, but the interior and usage are not the same thing at all, so it stands to reason that the name should have been changed a long time ago. ”
And this is not a single case, Xie Ying spent a lot of energy to retain many high-level archery skills in his own way, and also retained all the names of Sister Yinzi back then, including "Night Appreciation of Hundred Flowers", "Colorful Wedding Dress" and other obviously feminine names.
Hearing this, the rabbit fell into deep thought, and in the short time she had been here, she seemed to have come across a word that was very suitable to describe this kind of behavior, the one that Zheng Li had said several times......
“....... Mommy? ”
"Poof, why do you say the same thing to Zheng Li, don't be heard by Eagle Boy, he will really fight with you........ Hehe, but, maybe not, after all, he is the happiest person to be able to find you. ”
He's the happiest? Then he still yells at me and scolds me for being stupid?! The rabbit's face is full of disbelief, this kind of happiness, is it the kind of rabbit pot shop?
"Hey, just forgive him, he doesn't have bad intentions towards you, if you encounter trouble in the future, you can go directly to him. No matter how big or small, as long as it doesn't break the law, he will probably help you with his life. On the contrary, you'd better be on guard against Xiao Zhengli, although he won't dig a big pit to bury you, but a small pit ....... Ahem, mothers shouldn't speak ill of their children, in short, you can trust the two brothers, they will be the most reliable family in the future. ”
There were some words on her lips, but Sister Yinzi didn't say them in the end.
"Eagle Boy is too serious, he has always felt guilty that he is a senior brother, but he can't inherit all my archery skills and archery, and now he has finally found a little junior sister who has the possibility of inheritance, how can he not be happy, how can he not be treated as his own sister."
"It's Xiao Zhengli, who has been working hard in this regard, and has been looking for more than two years, and I was lucky to find it before the deadline, and now I will definitely protect you as a baby."
"Woo, Eagle Boy was a cheerful and honest good boy, although Xiao Zhengli loves to cry and is afraid of the dark, but he is also a good child who longs for family warmth, how can he become a social animal with a gloomy face and extreme inner extremity, and become a little fox full of nonsense, is there something wrong with my education method?"
Don't say anything about it, so as not to put too much pressure on the little rabbit.
“....... Hopefully, it's still too late. ”
Running in the hot water, holding the soft rabbit, Sister Yinzi, who was full of excitement, clicked on the next video, hoping to make the rabbit more interested in her archery.
Interest is the best mentor, and it is better to be able to complete the inheritance as soon as possible.
But soon, she found that the rabbit's attention was not on the video, Lan Mengqi always subconsciously looked at her shoulders and waist........
"Oh, wonder I'm different from before? I can show you, but don't be scared. ”
There is nothing to hide from the new family, and Sister Yinzi, who smiled evilly, got up directly, turned around, and showed her back to her apprentice.
"Ahh
This scene really scared the rabbit a little, which is what she felt incongruous at the beginning.
Not to mention the terrible scars on the back, which were directly covered with most of the back, after all, it was obviously an old wound that had already been scarred, and what really made her uncomfortable was those seemingly deformed limb organs.
On the smooth jade back, there are small hands smaller than a baby, and wings that have shrunk into a ball.
Lan Mengqi subconsciously counted, there were three pairs of arms and three pairs of wings.
The small hands are concentrated on the back and waist, but there is a pair of small wings in the center of the back.
If you look closely, you can see that there are also small wings on the thighs and arms, one on each of the limbs, which are usually hidden in the wide sleeves of the shirt.
At first glance, it is a bit frightening, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that these organs are not deformed and distorted.
Opposite. In addition to being too small and extremely complete in structure, the appearance is small and white, and it is smooth to the touch, a bit like a toy, and a little cute.
“....... After the failure of the impact on the mythical creature, the soul body was seriously injured again, and it couldn't heal That's it, I'm now a broken pocket, unable to produce psionic energy supply, and the psionic organs naturally all shrank, and the spirit blades are almost gone. ”
Smiling, he said, among the simplest words, it is indeed the most desperate situation of a sword master.
"Uh, don't worry, this is still too far away from you, I took the wrong path back then, you must not learn from me to take the direction of a multi-armed shooter, the pressure on the flesh is too much, and due to the obvious mutation of the limbs, the threshold for the advancement of mythical creatures is too high......."
What is the difference between a mythical creature and a top-notch sword master with ordinary top combat power? In fact, if you only look at the combat power, the difference is really not big, and even in the top thirty list, more than half of them are not even quasi-mythical creatures, just ordinary transcendental.
Compared with rookies, top sword masters often have a certain amount of psionic organs, improving their combat power in all aspects, and the psionic organs themselves are constantly evolving, which is the foundation of superhuman and the cornerstone of infinite evolution, but this also buries hidden dangers.
Although there are four spirits that forcibly regulate the body and keep it relatively stable, when all organs and souls are in a state of evolution, this balance is not stable forever.
After all, these organs are not original, they are like components embedded in your body, a symbiotic relationship.
An injury, a wrong evolution, can lead to the collapse of the balance, the same is true of the three armies, and the same is true of Sister Yinzi.
The defeat of the three armies of Wu was too greedy, and forcibly devouring too much led to an imbalance in the balance of the body.
Sister Yinzi is also too greedy in a sense, and her eight arms and three wings have brought several times the shooting efficiency, but too many resources are invested in external organs, and the external strength and internal weakness in the distribution of spiritual energy have led to a long-term imbalance in the body, leaving a great hidden danger.
Of course, this is not impossible to solve, and the bioization of myths can greatly reduce the risk of imbalance and loss of control.
But apparently, she has failed.
To mention mythical creatures, one must mention a concept, the collective human subconscious.
This is similar to the concept mentioned by the ancient Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, who believed that the same species has a common subconscious at the bottom of the personality structure, and that the genetic traces of the activities and experiences of generations, including ancestors, are stored in the human brain.
Just heredity cannot be explained, and some researchers put forward the concept of the sea of collective consciousness, believing that all human consciousness is connected in a sense.
But in an age when consciousness could determine reality, new and similar and evolutionary theories were introduced and successfully tested.
Ancestral consciousness has always been left in this land, and human consciousness is indeed connected in some unknown way, and has achieved a long-term observer effect, which psionics try to use, which is an infinite resource.
Originally, the development of this technology was used to challenge the high-dimensional observers of the pit - we alone cannot reach the high-dimensional consciousness, but together, the quantitative change produces the qualitative change, and the cluster consciousness that gathers sand into a tower can challenge the real observer?
Some people even privately speculate that the four spirits are some kind of special cluster consciousness...... But this cannot be verified, and it is strictly forbidden to explore and investigate the four spirits in any city, which is a felony of treason beyond treason.
A patchwork of theories and techniques, combined with the help of the ontological world, finally succeeded by chance, and the first artificial heroes and artificial supernatural beings appeared.
The process will not be carried out for the time being, and let's talk about the results directly.
Compared with ordinary top-level sword masters, quasi-mythical creatures and mythical creatures do not have an essential advantage, but .......
Under the integration of group consciousness, he is regarded as a whole, and with the help of divinity, the fit between body and soul is greatly increased, and the unity of spirit and body is substantially achieved.
Under the observer effect of group consciousness, he who is mixed with divinity has been elevated to a higher dimension, and can more directly resist the consciousness correction of high-dimensional existence, in a sense, it can also be regarded as a kind of artificial pseudo-god, and it can also be given a spirit blade to be a weapon, which is more effective against certain gods.
After the observation and revision of the group consciousness, he often has a certain degree of cognitive overlap with the mythical figure, and can even obtain some new abilities and characteristics because of this, which is habitually called divine power in the West and supernatural power in the East.
Finished.
Become a whole creature, gain supernatural powers and resistance to gods, yes, that's all.
As mentioned before, there is no essential difference between the mythical creature and the sword master, all the combat power comes from psionic energy, and it relies on the iron triangle of the spirit sword blade, which is nothing more than a new ability (supernatural power) choice, and the essence has not changed.
Of course, there are additional benefits to being a whole creature, such as not having to worry about organ infighting getting out of control after an injury, such as the longevity of an organ due to extended life......... And stable genetics! Avoid the appearance of deformed children!
In fact, many people go to quasi-mythical creatures for this, so that future generations can win at the starting line, and half of the subhumans are the descendants of transcendental, quasi-mythical, and mythical creatures.
The other half of the subhumans? It's a sad story that doesn't fit to be unfolded, and it's probably another detour that needs to be concealed.
Mythical creatures and ordinary transcendental, just looking at combat power, the improvement is quite limited, and more just gives a new choice and path.
How dangerous the path of infinite evolution is, one wrong step is not a disaster, and mythical creatures are more often an insurance.
This is also the reason why many mythical creatures can't beat ordinary sword masters........ The brand machine is more stable, but the compatible machine at the same price is wild enough and the performance is stronger.
Among the strongest group of the current generation, many of them are like Sister Yin in the past, who only considers strengthening themselves with combat power.
She was unlucky and suffered, but there were lucky ones who succeeded, and among the same kind, it was an out-and-out killing machine, and of course, it generally did not live long.
In fact, maybe the mythical creature is not the strongest, and the boosting effect is subtle, but it can't be weak either.
After all, the threshold for advancement is extremely high, and quasi-mythical creatures that can become the prerequisites for mythical creatures are beyond the reach of Xie Ying's level.
It may take him thirty years to think about this, and now the recent quasi-mythical twenty-four town guards are all super bosses who can kill him in seconds.
Just elevating quasi-mythology to mythology, defeating all competitors to obtain the only one, and gaining the subconscious recognition of the world and the human group, basically also determines that mythical creatures are the symbols of superbosses, and the more powerful the mythical characters, the more difficult it is, and some are even regarded as impossible to produce mythical creatures - such as Christ and Buddha.
It is necessary to achieve cognitive overlap........ How do you get most of the world to recognize you as someone like these two?
In fact, quasi-mythical creatures that have a much lower barrier to entry and can easily gain access to some abilities are more popular than mythical creatures that are too difficult and unique.
Many combat factions have a quasi-mythological tendency of several powerful combat systems, using pseudo-supernatural powers and quasi-divine weapons to improve combat power, such as a female orangutan....... But because there are too many competitors and it's too scary, mythical creatures don't think about it.
Sister Yinzi, when she found that she had taken a fork in the road and was on the verge of danger, there was no turning back.
"Mythical creatures must be recognized by the consciousness of the human group, psionic organs and the similarity in appearance is the basis, I was a terminal illness with eight arms and three wings, even if I peel off the wings and arms, I can't cut them (cut them and they will be scrapped), the most recent eight-armed mythical character is Doumu Yuanjun, but the great divinity level of the Mother of Stars is too high, and then I tried the three-eyed, eight-armed Buddhist protector Mori Zhitian, but it is also too powerful God of War, if I am a man, there are other options......"
Uh, that's too sexist? The rabbit looked confused.
"Nezha and Erlang God are both men, and the cognitive image is too clear, and the requirements for a high degree of fit are too high, so they were excluded from the beginning......."
Speaking of the past, Sister Yin is also a little uncomfortable, as a warrior who has been fighting horses for half her life, if there is a choice, who would be willing to retire.
Now many of the masters of the martial arts hall school in the city are unlucky people like themselves, and the road ahead has been cut off, so they can only hope to pass on their own things, which is convenient for future generations, but also to leave some traces of their own existence to the world.
"Heh, as a mother, it's already a shame to be seen through by the children. It's a bit unreasonable to keep them working hard for me. Especially the eagle boy, he is so honest, he obviously has no qualifications, and forcibly polishes himself into a suitable appearance for inheritance, and forcibly burns it, which makes people feel distressed when they look at it........"
For the first time, Lan Mengqi saw Sister Yinzi with a sad expression.
Suddenly, she smiled again, and her smile was as bright as a flower.
"God is already lucky to send you to me at this time, at least I can free the eagle boy. I hope that within a year, I will be satisfied if you can write down seventy percent of my archery skills. ”
"A year?"
"Well, in a year, I should have died."
