Chapter 18: Phantom Bugs
The three of them stood back to back, not knowing what it was, but they could be sure that some mysterious thing hiding in the shadows had set its sights on their squad.
"Huh? Murderous? The pores on Lin Xi's body suddenly all shrank, "No, this murderous aura is coming from my side!" ”
Lin Xi hurriedly turned around, and at this time, Xie Heng suddenly showed a strange smile, and his eyes were gradually filled with a strange blood.
"Heng, your eyes?"
Lin Xi was stunned, because at this time, Xie Heng had already raised the war knife in his hand and slashed at him.
Lin Xi hurriedly pulled out the battle knife behind him to block.
Xie Heng's realm was one level higher than Lin Xi's, and for some reason, his strength was several levels higher than usual, and Lin Xi's strength couldn't stop it at all.
He was immediately slashed and flew upside down, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the blood was donated.
"Ah Heng, what are you crazy about? I'm Lin Xi! "Fortunately, Lin Xi was not injured.
"You killed Lin Xi! I'm going to kill you to avenge my brother! Xie Heng didn't seem to hear anything, and said incomprehensible words.
"Lin Xi, are you okay?" Xu Zinuo hurriedly helped Lin Xi up, "He seems to be controlled by something and messed up his mind!" ”
Lin Xi nodded, it seemed that Xie Heng was like a demon, exuding a sense of anger all over his body, looking at his eyes, he almost couldn't help but want to devour Lin Xi and Xu Zinuo alive.
"What should I do?" Xu Zinuo was a little overwhelmed, they couldn't have aimed their weapons at their friends.
"Let's knock him out first!" Lin Xi said.
"Well, that's all there is to it!" Xu Zinuo nodded, her strength was far above Xie Heng, and she easily went around Xie Heng's back, and slashed at the back of his head with a hand knife.
Xie Heng rolled his eyes and fell down weakly.
"I think we might have run into a Phantom Bug!" Xu Zinuo said, her expression became dignified for the first time.
"Phantom bugs? How can it be? How can there be phantom insects here? Lin Xi couldn't believe it.
Phantom insects are very strange creatures, they do not have a fixed level after growing to a certain level like most mutant creatures, and ordinary mutant creatures, even if there are extremely powerful individuals, they will only exceed the average level by one or two orders at most.
But the Phantom Demon Worm is different, they are only weak by one or two orders, and the powerful ones are at the general level or even the God of War level.
It's just that the body of the Phantom Demon Worm is very weak, no more than twenty centimeters in size, and it looks like a beetle, usually as long as it is two or three orders below it, it is possible to easily tear it apart.
But the more powerful it is to attack - psychic attack!
Although ordinary warriors and mutant creatures have powerful bodies, their spirits are very weak, and once they are attacked by spirits, it is difficult to have a way to deal with them.
There are two kinds of spiritual attacks, one is to directly use a huge spiritual power attack to destroy the enemy's consciousness, which is almost a means of killing people invisibly.
The other is even more weird, they can create a realistic fantasy in the brain, so as to achieve the effect of control, and Xie Heng obviously fell for this kind of illusion.
In his brain, Lin Xi was brutally killed by these two "mutant creatures" in front of him, so he had such an extreme reaction, in his eyes, Lin Xi and Xu Zinuo were not people, but two alien beasts with teeth and claws.
Because of this unique talent and ability, even a person or mutated creature who is stronger than the Phantom Worm may die under that unguardable spiritual attack.
Not only Phantom Demon Worms, but also human beings have powerhouses similar to cultivating spiritual power, and they can even control thousands of flying swords with a single thought, making them even more powerful than ordinary martial artists.
To fight against spiritual attacks, either use the same strong spiritual power to resist, or use extremely strong willpower to resist, people with extremely strong willpower, even if they encounter illusions far higher than their own realm, they will not be effective.
And Lin Xi has worked harder than others since he was a child, although he is far inferior to others in terms of physical fitness, but compared to willpower, his self-confidence is not weaker than any of his peers.
And Xu Zinuo has also undergone rigorous training since childhood, if a girl does not have strong perseverance, she would have given up halfway, so her will is far stronger than ordinary people.
But Xie Heng's willpower was very ordinary, so he fell into the illusion of the phantom insect.
However, the strength of this phantom demon insect should not be very strong, otherwise it would not have been too much affected even by Lin Xi, who only had third-order strength, and it was estimated that it would only reach the top of the fourth or fifth order at most.
It's just strange that phantom insects generally inhabit some dangerous places that are difficult for humans and mutated creatures to enter, they like darkness and dampness, and they can only be seen occasionally in those dark deep streams, but this is obviously not the case.
"Huh?" Xu Zinuo suddenly snatched the battle knife from Lin Xi's hand and threw it fiercely in the direction where Xie Heng fainted.
"Zinuo! What are you doing? Lin Xi thought that even Xu Zinuo was controlled by the phantom insect, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"Poof!"
The war knife was inserted less than two centimeters into Xie Heng's neck.
"Huh?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and found that things were not so simple.
He hurriedly walked over, only to see that a beetle-like creature that had been broken into two knots had already died beside Xie Heng, and the mouthparts in its mouth were almost piercing Xie Heng's brain.
"Zinuo, I'm sorry, I thought it was ......" Lin Xi suddenly thought that he was still yelling at Xu Zinuo just now, and suddenly felt a little guilty, he should believe her.
"You thought I was being controlled too, did you?" Xu Zinuo smiled, "It's not your fault, if it were you who made a move, I'm afraid I would also think that you were controlled." ”
Lin Xi nodded, indeed, this phantom demon insect is too weird, it is simply unguardable, I don't know if the people around you will suddenly stab you in the back.
Xu Zinuo squatted down and looked at the beetle that had been cut in half: "Sure enough, it's a phantom demon insect, I didn't expect it to appear in this kind of place, it seems that I should have informed Senior Qin." ”
"Is it that serious?" Lin Xi asked.
"Well, it's serious!" Xu Zinuo nodded and said, "Maybe you don't know much, the Phantom Demon Worm is a social creature, since there is one here, it means that there must be a nest of the Phantom Demon Worm in this Sunset Valley." ”
Lin Xi was taken aback: "Doesn't that mean that many people will encounter this kind of phantom insect if they don't do it well?" ”
"Not bad! If their weak willpower is controlled, I am afraid that they will not even have a chance to call for help. Xu Zinuo said with a solemn face.
"Not only that, but there will be at least one existence above the warlord in the nest of a phantom insect, and the level of mutated creatures is probably about the same as that of humans, if they control a human being......" Xu Zinuo didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
"Phew!" Lin Xi gasped, if such a thing happened, it would be equivalent to a spy mixed in among the human race, if any precise layout was carried out, the human race would probably have some serious problems from the inside.
"Senior Qin Xiaotian must be notified immediately! And this survival training must be terminated immediately! ”
"Senior Qin!" Without hesitation, Lin Xi and Xu Zinuo immediately called out Qin Xiaotian's name.
Almost at the same time, a powerful aura swept over, but he didn't see any danger between the two.
"Huh? Lin Xi? Don't you know that calling me here means you're quitting this survival training? A voice sounded in Lin Xi's head.
"Senior, I know, but there is one thing I must tell you, this is related to the lives of all our classmates and even the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou Base City."
"Oh? What happened? Qin Xiaotian knew that Lin Xi's call to him would definitely not be a lie.
"Senior, I just met a phantom worm!"
