504, Wind and Trees and Stones
Aoki felt like he was manipulating a giant dream.
Spiritual power from all directions continued to pour in through the Divine Wood Staff in his hand, if it weren't for the fact that his own spiritual power itself was very strong, ordinary people would not be able to withstand such power at all.
Controlling these spiritual powers, he then entered the Divine Wood Staff. There seemed to be infinite passages in the Shenmu staff, and his consciousness was divided into many sub-consciousnesses along these channels, but it was not disconnected from his main consciousness, and stretched out like a long tentacle.
The passage through which the tentacles of consciousness passed was very strange, a bit like the zero-dimensional dream corridor he had experienced, but it was not identical. These passages lead to different separate spaces, where they are dark, deep, and shimmer with strange light, like a newly developed universe.
Aoki could sense the mental fluctuations in those spaces, and he recognized a person. His consciousness tentacles had now reached into the brains of the savages of the entire tribe. This time, it was much clearer than the first time he lined up the wildlings. He saw their forms, their movements, and their thoughts. He was able to control everyone's behavior through the extension of consciousness, as if he had hundreds of more hands.
It's a bit like hypnotizing a lot of people at the same time and making them have group reality dreams. But Aoki knew how difficult it would have been to do. Situ has done so many experiments, just to find a more efficient way to group real-life dreaming, Kitano Zhenwu made such a cave in southern Yunnan, it is already a very great way to dream in reality, and to control hundreds of people to dream at any time like now, not only to consume unimaginable spiritual power, but also to extend the control of a single consciousness is also incredibly difficult.
Of course, the current situation is slightly different from the group reality dream. The support of the group dream depends on the mental synergy of all dreamers, and now Aoki's mental power comes from himself and the external energy absorbed through the Shenmu staff.
Now Aoki is more like a brain, his limbs detached from him, and he is busy in the woods in front of him. Those people's consciousness is still independent and has not become his puppet. They are only able to receive Aoki's consciousness instructions, and if they want to resist, Aoki will have to expend more mental power to control their consciousness, and then real hypnosis is needed.
But the wildlings clearly don't resist, and Aoki's every thought is answered. These ideas don't need to be very clear, such as details of how you are going to do it, but just give a vague command, like an octopus commanding its brachiopods, just say "prey", and the brachiopods will prey on their own, without telling it how to prey.
Aoki asked some of the wildlings to collect food, and they went to collect food. He asked the other part of the wildlings to fix the camp, and they went to fix the camp.
After a few attempts, he basically knew how to control the group skillfully, and then he had to be ready for war. He wanted to join forces with Situ and defeat the local savages on the opposite side first. The wizards of the savages were obviously stronger, and I don't know if it was because he was strong, or if it was just like what Situ said, the local tribe would have the home advantage.
Aoki guessed that the so-called home field advantage was that the characteristics of the spiritual force field of each island and each space here were different, just like having different attributes, the limits and efficiency of the spiritual power mobilized by different scepters were different.
But although there is a gap in this aspect, it will not be too big, otherwise it can be directly suppressed with spiritual power, why should the people of the tribe participate in hand-to-hand combat!
While Aoki was there to test the control of the Divine Staff, Lady Larry sat down to talk to the savage wizard. The expression on her face was calm, as if she had completely forgotten the humiliation she had received before, which made Petru, who was standing on the sidelines, angry, looking at him like that, at any moment to pull the trigger and pull the safety of the grenade.
In the distance, there was a whistling sound, and the wild man here began to stir, and Aoki sensed nervousness and excitement from the wild man's consciousness. However, the mental fluctuations on the field were not obvious, and it was obvious that the savages on the opposite side had not yet attacked in a big way, at least their wizard did not move, probably just tactical harassment.
Aoki had already asked the crow to inform Situ, and Situ should already know his situation here at this moment, and the two sides would work together to not lose to the tribe on the other side.
At some point, the sunset was already hanging in the sky, but it was not as red and big as it was on earth, and there were no clouds to cover the angels' colorful clothes. It just turned into a yellow speck of light, slowly sinking downward. Another sun still hangs high in the sky, shining on everything in the world.
The whistling of the savages ceased, and the valley suddenly became very quiet. A hint of alarm rose in Aoki's heart, and there seemed to be extreme danger in this unusual tranquility.
Sure enough, a strong mental fluctuation suddenly appeared, like a whirlwind rolling in the flat ground. Moreover, this spiritual power did not come from the direction of the tribe in front of him, but rose from the mountains and forests behind him and on the side, as if there were several new forces ambushed there, and they suddenly came out at this moment.
Fortunately, he had already taken precautions, and as soon as his mind moved, his spiritual power gushed out with the scepter in his hand, but the strange thing was that his spiritual power did not turn into a fierce wind like the other side, but stretched out thick branches, and the branches grew branches, and leaves bloomed on the branches, and the branches crossed and the leaves overlapped, forming a protective wall around the camp.
At this time, he felt like he had become a tree again. The roots of the tree firmly grasped the ground, and I remained unmoved by the wind and rain.
The sneak attack on this side and rear has not yet ended, and the battle on the frontal battlefield has already begun vigorously. The savages on the opposite side rushed into the valley, and the men of Aoki's tribe who also controlled him rushed in, and the two sides fought. The behavior of the savages seems to be chaotic, but in fact they are well founded, and this octopus tactic is extremely efficient, and everyone is like a finger.
In this regard, Aoki didn't fall behind after getting used to it for a while, but when a violent spiritual storm swept over him, he felt a little struggling.
The spiritual power of the wizard on the other side was far stronger than he imagined. He had barely stretched out a thick branch when he was swept to pieces by a strong wind. He could only tighten all the branches, the leaves were dense like a shield, but he could still feel the fierce power of the wind when it hit him, like an ancient beast, crashing headlong into the shield in front of him, hitting his chest tightly, as if he could not even breathe.
At that moment, a boulder fell from the sky, like a small mountain, and smashed into the eye of the storm. The wind roared a few times, and then disappeared without a trace.
Aoki knew that it was Situ who made a move. Situ's spiritual power is different, it looks thick and stocky, like a stone like a mountain, but there is a solemn aura in this stockiness, as if there is a sharp sword hidden in every stone.
Aoki had just breathed a sigh of relief, when a more violent wind blew, and the small mountain-like boulder was swept into the air, and he felt unstable, and even the deep roots that were standing in the soil were almost pulled out by the mud and the earth.
