Section 498 Pride
Gluttonous Monarch, a predator that lurks in the darkness of the endless. They are perpetually hungry and desperate for fresh flesh.
In the undercurrent of time and space, there are three main objects that humans can communicate with and guide, namely spirits, false gods, and fakes. Fakes are non-living objects, dead things, which will not be discussed here.
Spirits are aggregates of psionic energy that bear the imprint of the species' life, and over time the psionic energy will gradually dissipate and eventually disappear. The life imprint of the spirit body preserves some of the memories and habits of the original body during its lifetime, and is an existence between the living and the dead. Its intelligence is in a state of stagnation, and gradually decreases as psionic energy dissipates and life imprints die.
According to the behavior of the subconscious, spirits are divided into heroic spirits and evil spirits. As the name suggests, spirits with good tendencies are called "heroic spirits" and evil spirits with evil tendencies.
False gods are projections of the consciousness of undercurrent creatures. The biggest difference between it and spirits is that the former has independent, sustainable wisdom while the latter does not.
The realm powerhouse uses itself as the spatial coordinates, the undercurrent relics as the guide, and the channel with its own energy. The relationship between the three is inseparable, the stronger the self, the clearer the coordinates, the stronger the relic, the clearer the guide, the larger the energy level of the self, and the longer and wider the passage.
However, the vast majority of realm powerhouses do not have the strength to open a large enough channel, and the size of the channel can only be maintained in the other world through the consciousness of the undercurrent creatures and relying on the energy provided by the host.
At first glance, the relationship between the two is more like that between the gods and the apostles. The gods relied on the power of the apostles' faith to exist, hence the name "false gods".
The red dragon "Red Fire" of the Maris family is a typical false god. It is said that Red Fire is a red dragon that sleeps in the undercurrent of time and space, and has formed a long-term relationship with the ancestors of the Maris family.
As for what their purpose is, there are so many reasons for this, and there are all kinds of things. Appetite, lust, control, expression, etc., and even sometimes some powerful beings do not want to gain anything, but are simply bored, and want to have some fun in the endless darkness.
In contrast, there is a dependency between the spirit and the host, as the spirit without the energy provided by the host will gradually die out. The relationship between the pseudo-god and the host is a cooperative relationship and has greater autonomy.
The projection of the consciousness of the false god into this world is called "Undercurrent Summoning", and the complete entry of the main body is called "Arrival".
Obviously, this gluttonous monarch is the object that Duncan has been looking for for a long time, but the communication has not yet been completed, and before he dies, he forcibly guides it to this world with the mentality of burning jade, and what will inevitably follow is that it will be out of control.
"We have to leave right away." After running a certain distance, Ye Yang Bailiu immediately proposed to lead the team to retreat.
The consciousness projection of this Gluttonous Monarch has just entered this world, and it only has a small part of the power of the body. It needs to loot more energy to really enter this world. Although some of the energy is obtained by devouring the host, it also loses the means of continuous energy supply. Whether by nature or by objective necessity, it devours all living beings it can see.
The three hundred steel sisters brought by Yeyang Bailiu are the family of the Beiqiao Regiment, and once they lose them, the Beiqiao Regiment will be wiped out by most of them. Today's Northbridge Regiment has tens of thousands of people, and it is not easy to manage, and the Iron Sisters are the key to ensuring the purity of the Northbridge Regiment's bloodline, and there is no room for error.
At this time, seeing that Yue Canglian also woke up, realizing that she had passed out at a critical moment, she was immediately ashamed.
"Canglian is not good at learning and dragging down the Lord, and the sin deserves death." After speaking, he will draw his knife and cut himself.
Chen Xing knew that this court maid had the habit of cutting herself at every turn, and he had already prepared for the electric shock. An arc flashed between the two fingers, and it directly shot down the Raven Sword. In a hurry, he didn't care that Ye Yang Bailiu was next to him, and he needed to avoid suspicion.
Sure enough, Ye Yang Bailiu glanced at him, a little meaningful. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, it would probably come to the sentence, "You are really a master and servant......"
However, Chen Xing greatly underestimated the power of a woman's vinegar when she came up.
"You guys really have a heart......
Ye Yang Bailiu's face was frosty, his words were mocking, and the unhappiness on his face could no longer be hidden.
"Canglian and the master are innocent, if the master's mother does not believe it, Canglian is willing to die
Will. Seeing Yuecanglia kneeling down and saying, picking up the knife and cutting it again.
Chen Xing was directly stunned, he never thought that the palace maid who had always behaved simple and honest still had the skill of opening her eyes and telling nonsense, without even blinking her eyelids. Who doesn't know the dedication of the maid academy? No wonder people always say that women are born liars, girls, girls, liars......
"I'll just say casually, sister, don't take it to heart." Ye Yang Bailiu snatched the knife of the moon canglian and helped her up. Everyone is beautiful, and the critical moment is still reliable. Unlike those short-sighted women, the enemy still quarrels with his own man when he kills the door.
After this episode, the three of them continued to run in the direction of the camp.
Behind him came the roar of the Gluttonous Monarch, mixed with anger and pain.
"It is tearing open spatial rifts with brute force and forcibly entering this world." Ye Yang Bailiu said.
Duncan only has quasi-lord-level strength, and does not have the ability to summon undercurrent creatures of the level of the Gluttonous Monarch, but only barely opens a small spatial passage. The Gluttonous Monarch gained the energy of the crossing by devouring Duncan, forcibly expanding the passage.
"What's wrong!" "What's going on?"
Halfway through, the three of them encountered a fire and thunder that left first. The two heard the beast's roar and stopped to watch.
Chen Xing briefly explained the situation and asked the two of them to hurry back and inform Tienuo to retreat. Once the consciousness projection of the Gluttonous Monarch breaks free from the spatial passage, a radius of a hundred miles will become a purgatory on earth.
"Let's go, go to the nearest city for help!"
"Good!"
Separated from Chen Xing and the others, the fire and thunder went straight to the camp.
"Hey, we're in trouble." Thunder blamed himself a little, and was a little angry, "It's really a dog thing, and it's going to hurt people when it's about to die!" ”
"People who can be ant spiders have no humanity at all, and it is reasonable for dogs to jump over the wall and fight to the death." Fire Chew comforted.
A few minutes later, the two broke into the command camp of the Thunder Light Regiment in a rage and told Tie Nuo what had happened.
The more Tieno listened, the darker his face became, his fists clenched tightly, and when he heard that they had escorted Duncan to the forest to conspire to kill him, he couldn't help it, and roared angrily: "You, how can you do such a treacherous thing! ”
"We are also for the future of everyone, you don't know that Duncan is the kind of person, there is no bottom line at all, and he will definitely come back to retaliate in the future, what will we do to stop it when the time comes? So we ......."
"Fire Mouth!" Tienuo's tiger eyes widened, and his anger rushed to the crown.
"Boss, you say, I'll listen." The fire tip thundered and stood up straight, looking like he had been beaten and punished.
"Do you know that a man without faith is not as good as a beast!" Tieno's chest rose and fell, and he gasped for breath.
"Boss, I was wrong, I'm not as good as a beast, you can scold me as much as you turn around, but now that the matter is urgent, let's pack up our things and withdraw first!"
Tieno's face darkened, and he didn't speak. Huo Chew glanced at the thunderbolt and was silent for a few seconds, the two gritted their teeth, ignored Tie Nuo, and began to pack their things.
Huo Tsui is the deputy head of the regiment, and Prestige is the first person under Tienuo. He asked everyone to quickly pack up their things and retreat, but Tie Nuo didn't say anything, so naturally no one would object.
In the blink of an eye, the whole camp was busy, and due to the urgency of the situation, the less valuable supplies were discarded, and only the most valuable and useful were taken away. In less than twenty minutes, the entire Thunder Light Regiment was loaded and unloaded, ready to set off.
It was late afternoon, the light was dim, and Tieno sat alone in the dark tent, motionless, like a stone statue.
"Boss, pack up and let's go." The fire mouth came in and said.
Tieno looked at the ground and didn't speak.
"The brothers are waiting for you." Thunder said, who followed up.
Tieno remained unmoved, nor did he speak.
Huo Tsui and Thunder glanced at each other, both at a loss, they were just rough people who were not good at words, and they felt a little guilty in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say.
"The regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander, the car is ready."
A stocky man came in and said. This man has a thick and hoarse voice, nicknamed the gong, and is one of the trio of iron galls of the Thunder Light Regiment.
After being silent for a long time, Tieno slowly raised his head, his mouth squirming with difficulty.
"Let's go......"
The eyes of the three people present suddenly widened.
"Tieno, are you there!" Huo Tsui emotionally grabbed Tieno's collar and asked loudly, "For a bastard who has suffered a thousand cuts, as for it!" ”
Tieno looked at the fire mouth, his eyes were a little glazed, and his pupils were completely out of focus, like a walking corpse. The fire spout pushed hard a few times, and Tieno fell to the ground, still stunned.
The evening sun shone in, pulling long shadows on the ground.
There was a deathly silence in the tent, no one spoke, only the sound of muffled breathing.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you......" The fire chew gradually softened, "Don't be like this, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you can beat me and scold me, don't be like this, okay......"
"Let's go......" Tieno said quietly, his face lifeless.
"Tell me, why, why don't you go?" Huo Tsui shook Tieno's shoulder vigorously, "In your eyes, our brothers are not as good as a scumbag?" He cried out in pain, "Say! ”
Tieno shook his head, his eyes gradually regaining their brightness, "You are my good brothers, good brothers forever......"
"If it's just that villain, it's killing him a thousand times, so what?"
"But have you ever thought about it, that gluttonous monarch is a king-level evil beast, we can just leave, but this wanderer within a radius of a hundred miles, millions of people, will be reduced to the food of evil beasts......"
"This matter started because of me, and I have no shirk of my duty to atone for my sins."
Listening to Tie Nuo's words, the three of them suddenly woke up. The Gluttonous Monarch is now only a projection of consciousness, but after devouring enough flesh and blood, it can gradually materialize and finally descend into this world.
King to king, only a king-level powerhouse can deal with the advent of the gluttonous monarch. But when that time comes, it will inevitably be ruined. The land behind them can be grazed and planted, there are a large number of displaced villages, gathering places, plantations, grazing lands, and the population is in the millions.
It would be such a brutal feast of flesh and blood that one could breathe just by imagining it.
Tie Nuo patted Huo Tsui's shoulder, "Take the brothers away, and think twice about anything you do in the future." ”
After being silent for a long time, the fire mouth looked at the thunder, and then at the gong, and his eyes gradually became firm. He stretched out his hand to put his hand on the shoulder of the person he respected most in his life, and said in a deep voice, "It's a brother, let's carry it together!" ”
At this stage, the Gluttonous Monarch has not eaten in large quantities, and the strength is only a small part of the body, as long as they go all out, they have a chance to destroy each other.
Thunder stepped forward and grabbed Tienuo's shoulder on the other side, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, "Don't care about the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the Yellow Spring Hell, let's go!" ”
The gong was greatly infected, and he was arrogant, "Isn't it just a big monster, get it!" ”
"You guys, you don't have to ......" Tienuo's voice trembled slightly.
"You can't afford so many lives, and I can't afford it!" Huo Tsui grabbed Tienuo's arm hard, "Don't look down on me, I'm also a well-known man!" ”
Such a burden can crush a person's pride and make it impossible for people to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. Who are they? Their men who stand up to the sky and the earth can die, but their backbones must not be broken.
"Well, you're all good!" Tieno nodded vigorously, then straightened up, as if reborn, and his whole body glowed with a strange brilliance.
"Go down and inform everyone, stay if you are willing to stay, don't embarrass them if you don't want to, send money to those who should be sent down, let them go home." Tie Nuo's voice was deep and composed, "One more thing, you must tell the truth, this operation is very auspicious, and it is very likely that you will not be able to go back." ”
"All those who participate in the battle must be strapped to explosives, and their bodies must not be reduced to food for the beast to replenish their energy."
"Yes!"
