Chapter 186: The Battle of Consciousness

"Whoa—"

The few remaining evolution fragments in the final balance were 1,000 less, the mantis's gnawing action stalled, the prey held in the knife arm fell to the ground, and the look in the countless compound eyes began to fade like a tide......

"What a powerful monster!"

I never thought that the insect control ability that has always been invincible will encounter setbacks!

I saw that the eyes that had been extinguished began to gradually regain their vigor again, but in an instant, they were extinguished again, and in this way, they alternated between bright and dark for a while, until they reached a point of equilibrium.

Suddenly, Zhong Heng felt a little groggy in his head, as if a consciousness had broken into his mind and was rushing around, bringing bursts of pain, as if he had been attacked by the brain worm spirit when he was in the Galaxy Clan World before.

He knew it was the mantis's consciousness resisting.

In the past, even when controlling the insects on the earth, it was just too insignificant to attract attention: the spiritual strength of the insects was too weak compared to humans, and the gap was like fireflies and the bright moon, and in the face of absolute strength, the insects wanted to resist the invasion of the idea of final balance as if an ant was trying to block an elephant, and it would be pressed down if they couldn't even turn up a wave in the spiritual world.

Recently, it also appeared when catching electric beetles - the insect monsters in this world are different from relatives who act completely instinctively, they have a certain amount of wisdom, and their spiritual strength is bound to be stronger, but the electric beetles didn't last long in front of the final balance, but only two or three seconds.

As for this pavilion mantis, as a monster that is no less dangerous than the ancient dragon, its consciousness intensity is definitely comparable to that of ordinary monsters.

It's very strong, but I didn't expect it to be so strong, so strong that even the consciousness strength of ordinary people who are now 9 times the final balance can't support it, and there are some faint signs of collapse.

"Damn it, damn it......"

The struggle became more and more intense, and the pain in his brain became more and more intense, and Zhong Heng felt as if his brain had been put into a meat grinder, and there was only a sharp pain like a knife cut, and for a while, the pain was so painful that he almost didn't stand firm, and half knelt on the ground.

On the other hand, the pavilion mantis, its compound eyes that have regained clarity are more and more, and the ends of its limbs and antennae also begin to shake involuntarily, and the amplitude gradually increases.

At that time, due to the mental strength, that is, the brain calculation speed is not enough, the final balance will be eaten by it, and the light will faint to the ground, and the blood vessels in the brain will burst and die on the spot!

Seeing that the Pavilion Mantis was about to get out of control, in a hurry, he thought of a solution:

"Xiaoqian, let's come together!"

The opening of the telepathic link is equal to the sharing of consciousness between two people, and it means an increase in computing power now, similar to online computing.

Xiao Qian's mental strength to strengthen the sword technique is not low, otherwise there is no way to control the flying sword to fly flexibly, although it is not as good as the final balance, but after strengthening and exercising, it is also five or six times the strength of ordinary people.

The influx of her spiritual power, coupled with the original foundation of the final balance, directly reached more than ten times, as if the two sides in Dragon Ball tried their best to release the energy in the body, and the balance was grasped for a while.

However, I don't know if this pavilion mantis is because it is a target, with part of the control and blessing of the controller behind this mission space, the consciousness is not ordinarily powerful, and Rao is fourteen or fifteen times the spiritual strength of ordinary people still can't completely suppress its resistance.

Vaguely, like a bottle of Coke that had been shaken vigorously but the lid was not covered, the consciousness of the pavilion mantis had the upper hand again, and it wanted to suppress the two of them.

"Boom, boom—"

There was only a piercing roar of the pavilion mantis left in their heads, and the two of them suddenly felt a splitting headache, their faces were painful, and they half-knelt on the ground again.

In the crisp sound of "clanging", all the flying swords that were originally suspended in the air fell to the ground.

The final balance was distorted, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and even his vision turned into a thousand shadows.

To relieve the pain, his fist on the ground tightened again and again, and the ground was pulled out of a bowl-filled pit.

They were in agony and couldn't hold on, but the other was no better - this time, the mantis convulsed and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.

"Absolutely, absolutely must not fall ......"

Muttering to himself, Zhong Heng lifted his skull, whose hair was completely soaked with sweat, and his bloodshot eyes reflected the scene of the Pavilion Mantis rolling around.

He knew that this battle had reached the most critical moment, and both of them and the other party who had been struggling to support them had almost reached their limit, and it was up to them to see who fell first!

The Pavilion Mantis fell, and the result goes without saying; And if they fall, they will only become fish in front of the knife after the other party gets out of control, so ......

Fight!

"Again, one more!"

He activated the last killer feature and opened the mental link along with Zhang Jiawei.

At this moment, inexplicably, Zhang Jia Wei, who was holding a grass in his mouth one hundred and ten kilometers away, suddenly felt his head covered and almost fainted to the ground before he could hear the message transmitted by Zhongheng clearly.

After distributing some of the pressure there, your output increases again.

This time the camel was crushed by the last straw.

Even if Zhang Jiawei's spirit is not high, but after several strengthenings, it has reached the level of two or three times that of ordinary people, and the pavilion mantis is now very reluctant, and it is impossible to resist the spiritual oppression of the three people added together, which is seventeen or eighteen times greater, and he screams and slumps to the ground.

His gaze turned into a complete dullness, and the pavilion mantis shook its pointed head, completely frozen.

"Whew-"

In an instant, all three of them collapsed to the ground.

The end result of the battle:

In the end, Heng won, and he turned the Pavilion Mantis into his little brother.

But he didn't have time to enjoy the joy of victory at all, because there was such an incredible scene in his pupils:

At the moment when the monster worm's mental breakdown was completely controlled by him, a faint blue point of light was like an abscess in a pimple, forced out by the consciousness of the influx of Final Heng and others, and dissipated in the air.

The process of dissipation was short and long, and in that short-lived moment, he finally saw a vague figure like a ghost with an indistinct face appearing in the distorted air, only the size of a palm, twisting and struggling like a maggot, and a piercing and hoarse roar that he could not understand came from its hideous face.

What is it?!

Before he could react, the other party turned into a wisp of green smoke and completely dissipated.

Of course, what is even more amazing is still to come, at the moment when the little man disappeared, Zhong Heng suddenly found that there were more than 20,000 evolution fragments and nearly 300,000 points on his attribute panel.

The red dot representing the target, extinguished.

Could it be that the Pavilion Mantis is dead?!

That's not right......

Looking at the one-on-one consciousness that shakes from side to side twice, and then uses one-on-one control of the consciousness to feel the other person's life situation, proving that it is still alive and well, the final balance overturns this idea.

Could it be......

Xiao Qian behind her: It seems that the rebellious lifeforms we are going to kill are not the target monsters themselves, but these ghost-like things that cannot exist apart from the entity attached to them.

Final Heng nodded: It's just that generally speaking, when monsters die, these things that live by parasitic will also die, but this time is really special......

He wiped the sweat from his head: Because the mantis can be controlled by me, the rebellious life form in its body has been forced out by us, just like an exorcism, the possessed person is not dead, but the possessed dirty thing is dead.

"But what exactly are these things?" Zhang Jiawei, who was on the other end of the psychic link, asked, "We also guessed that they were the controllers of this world, but looking at the situation that this parasite is dead and the host is still alive, it doesn't look like it!" ”

"Who knows!"

……

The operation to subdue the Pavilion Mantis ended successfully, and riding this newly subdued mount, Zhong Heng and Xiao Qian returned.

Like most praying mantises, the praying mantis's flight ability is very poor, and it is okay to fly in a short time, but it will wilt in long distances, so it is naturally impossible to take an empty road like an electric beetle when you come and go to the end in a line, and it is naturally impossible to be as fast as when you come.

But fortunately, this strange insect is very fast, agile, and good at bouncing, even the cliffs can walk on the ground, and they did not delay too long, and the road that was originally completed in half a day was completed in two days.

Along the way, when they occasionally encountered monsters, they were fortunate enough to see the fighting demeanor of the Pavilion Mantis, a super monster that was no less dangerous than Lanlong, and even if they lost the trap and the "Gundam", their combat power was not weaker than the steel dragon that almost wiped them out before.

This guy's fighting style is quite similar to Spider-Man, on the way back, the two of them accidentally encountered a booming dragon that was first knocked down by it with a silk thread, and then this guy jumped to the back of the neck to attack the dead corner, and was bitten off the throat by a knife-like mouth and died.

After the rendezvous, the three of them embarked on the journey home.

The night sky in a world without light pollution is extraordinarily dark, and against the dark night sky, both the miserable lonely moon and the stars in the sky are extraordinarily shining, and the moonlight and starlight are sprinkled on the wasteland, covering the earth with a thin veil.

Unfortunately, the nights here are no longer as peaceful as they used to be.

The bones of the hungry are scattered everywhere, the hollow eye sockets of the skulls are even more hideous under the moonlight, there are people and monsters, carrying the outpouring of souls who have died one by one, and they have no flesh and blood, as if they can shed tears in the next second.

It's a testament, it's a cry, it's a curse, and it goes straight to the name that all living beings on this continent hate—the participant, the invader of the world, the destroyer of balance, the slayer of life!

It seems that there is a supreme existence behind it, and after hearing the outpouring of hundreds of millions of unjust souls, for a while, in all corners of the world, a pair of eyes representing the strongest existence in the whole world appeared in the darkness.

Red, green, and yellow represent the most powerful monsters in the Monster Hunter world that are beginning to awaken: the ancestral dragon that controls the thunder, the tyrannosaurus that rises up and shakes the mountains, the large rock dragon with a body hundreds of meters long and as big as a mountain, and the snake king dragon......

Their bodies are like ghosts in the shadows, and their huge bodies that loom disappear in a flash, and then they are completely hidden in the darkness and disappear......

"Damn, are there only a few source species left here...... Damn it! A voice, resounding in the darkness, was a ghostly emaciated figure.

He stood at the top of the mountain, his outline obscured by the darkness of the night, and he could only faintly see that it was a strange man who had hidden his true face under a cloak.

And in front of him, there is a hideous monster lying on his stomach!

Huang Black Dragon, one of the most powerful monsters in the entire world, is still above Lan Long's strength, but at this time, this vicious tyrant is as obedient as a puppy, prostrate at the feet of the cloak monster, motionless.

Looking up at the sky, looking at a shooting star passing by in the sky, as if suddenly realizing something, the strange man, gently touched the frosted dragon scales with his hand, and whispered:

"Damn, you're not going to let it go...... Looks like you're going to kill me all...... It's too late to evacuate all the source species...... Hehe, the trapped beasts that are cornered are often the most lethal, and I want to see if you can withstand this kind of counterattack...... You have a plan, and I have a ...... It seems that the ...... must be implemented in advance"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey—"

After the intermittent whispering, a sinister laugh echoed through the mountains, which was particularly eerie.

The strange man's form was gone, but where he had been, a violently shaking spatial crack appeared, spreading out like ink dripping into water......

……

"Whew-"

Exhaling a breath of burning air squeezed in his lungs, Zhong Heng sat up suddenly.

Looking around, nothing happened, and the campfire next to him crackled like a bright spot in the dark wasteland.

Around the bonfire, the inner and outer three layers surrounded Zhong Heng and others, and the insect swarm responsible for vigilance was still vigilant, and the strongest of them, the Pavilion Mantis, stood like a statue on the body of a heavy beetle, using its keen night vision ability to look around, and did not find any nib;

Beside the bonfire, with the sudden startle of Final Heng, the remaining four people, who had long been accustomed to vigilance, suddenly woke up and sat up with their hazy sleepy eyes.

"What, what's wrong?"

Zhong Heng: It's okay, I always feel like there's some movement around here, and I'm scared to wake up......

The feeling just now is very strange, it is not a nightmare, but it is more than a nightmare - a bit like a ghost pressing bed, I was sleeping well and suddenly felt a stuffy breath in my chest, and the whole person seemed to be paralyzed by all nerves in an instant, and I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't breathe, until I suddenly woke up......

The participants seem to have suffered setbacks these days, as of this morning there are only 57 participants left, and there are still fifteen or sixteen goals left, which makes the final balance very worried about the completion of the next task.

But for some reason, just a few hours ago in the early hours of the morning, seven or eight red dots representing targets on the map were extinguished, and they were distributed in different places, at least thousands of miles apart from each other, and they were extinguished at the same time!

Of course, this cannot be the result of the encirclement and suppression of the participants.

Although it was a good thing to some extent, there was an ominous premonition in the dark.

Especially these days, on the way back, why did the monsters completely disappear, and he couldn't even see a reptile on the road, which made his sixth sense tell him that something big was about to happen!

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what it was, so he had no choice but to give up, and everything could only be said when he returned to Mejebultan.

Judging by the fact that the green dots are still mostly concentrated in the city and can move freely, at least it is still in the hands of the participants.

"Forget it, go back to sleep, anyway, this place is already very close to Mejebultan, and it will be an hour or two walk, and we will be able to go back with the army at dawn tomorrow, and then ...... Alas, urge those bastards to end this fucking mission sooner rather than later! ”

"Oh......"

With a yawn, the exhausted crowd lay down again.

Silence has long been the norm, and now that they have a little free time, there is only one thing they want to do:

Go to bed!

Eating and sleeping in the open all the way, the long-term travel brought physical and mental exhaustion, almost all the passion in their hearts, and now they are numb and now after settling down, the most hope is to find a place to rest.

With the stone as a pillow, he was about to fall asleep again, but suddenly there was a commotion that made Zhong Heng and the others open their eyes in unison!
