Chapter 022: The Battle of the Consciousness Space

The apprentice's approach is a subversion of the ideas of Paladin, Howling Wind and Exx, especially Paladin.

As a patron knight of the Paladin's branch, Paladin has always been instilled with the deep instinct of the so-called eight virtues, namely humility, honesty, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul. He has always acted in accordance with the guidance of the Eight Virtues, and even in the face of demons, he dared to fight with his flesh and blood, but he never imagined that he could deal with the demons of the Evil Cave in such an undignified way, which is undoubtedly a blasphemy of honor and virtue.

As for Howling Wind and Ex, as barbarians, their extreme emphasis on strength also makes them rarely use other means to destroy the enemy than combat, and when faced with trouble, their first reaction is to eliminate the trouble by simple and effective methods, but they never think, let alone use such despicable means to defeat the enemy.

Paladin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Apprentice, you are really a bit unmartial in doing this, I believe that with our strength, we can completely destroy this evil cave in another way, in a righteous and bright way, in this way, the High Heaven will bless us." ”

The apprentice heard Paladin's reply, which was full of Spring and Autumn etiquette, and looked at the other party's surprised and hesitant expression, and immediately guessed what he was thinking. He was not prepared to argue with him, for Paladin had always been educated, and his practice of virtue was never discounted, and it was only natural for him to ask such questions.

He simply replied indifferently:

"When I met you at the Rogue Tavern, I heard you say that your brother died on the way to conquer the Evil Cave, so most of the cause of his death is the head of the Evil Cave. The strength of the monsters in this evil cave must not be low, even if the five of us join forces, there is no guarantee that we will exterminate them at any cost, so I thought about it, your brother is also my brother, as long as the three of you are in our team, you are my comrades-in-arms, and I have the responsibility to protect you, so...

As long as I can avenge my brother, as long as I can protect you, even if I go to hell, I will not hesitate to do it, let alone trample on morality? ”

"It's just..."

"If trampling on morality will attract your contempt, or even the contempt of the higher heavens, then I am willing to bear this price."

The apprentice's answer was very level, he did not refute Paladin, saying that his insistence on virtue was a woman's kindness, but from his point of view, knowing it with affection, and blaming all his actions for the purpose of helping him to avenge, which would undoubtedly move him, even ashamed, and even put him on a human favor and a heavy psychological burden. And with such psychological pressure, if he wants to recruit him in the future, he will inevitably increase his certainty.

At this time, the Nightmare Mark once again reminded that due to his words and actions, Paladin's favorability towards him had increased again, and he had successfully broken through the level of "friendliness" and risen to the level of "respect".

That's the power of up to 22 charisma, which greatly increases the amount of friendship and makes it possible to recruit strong followers. At this time, Paladin was still a long way from being recruited, but his affection for the apprentice was very obvious.

As for the two brothers, Xiaofeng and Ex, judging from their various behaviors, their reaction to the battle was not very fast, and their character was also slightly flawed.

As time passed, more and more black smoke poured into the evil cavern, and after half an hour, a group of tall monsters crawled out, looking like a huge beast shaped like a gorilla.

These beasts native to the wilderness are called by many names, some call them great beasts, others call them beasts, and even more so they are called Yati, but whatever they are called does not change the fact that they have been corrupted and degenerated. They used to be able to live in peace with humans, but under the evil influence of Andariel and Hell are permanently enraged by the evil thoughts of Chaos, they are easily murderous, and wave their muscular and massive arms against all humans they see until they die.

The number of these huge beasts is enough to 5, and the huge size of the two of them is intimidating, obviously their health is not too bad, but maybe it is because they smell too much black smoke, these black smoke burned with zombie minced meat and dead wood as fuel seems to be mixed with a huge amount of toxins, and the evil cave is a confined space, the air circulation is extremely poor, the eyes of the huge beasts have been seriously bloodshot, and the appearance covered by rough body hair has emerged a bright green, The nostrils shot out of the nostrils with a dark red and pale green blood, apparently poisoned, and forced to leave the evil cavern.

The great beasts, though strong, were deeply poisoned, and as soon as they walked out of the cave entrance, they lay down helplessly, wailing in pain. When the apprentice saw this, he was also quite surprised, he didn't expect that zombie minced meat + firewood + flame = can bring down the poisonous smoke of a huge beast, which is a new topic worth studying.

Just looking at the size of the giant beasts, you can also imagine their vitality, under the influence of poisonous smoke, even the huge beasts can not leave the entrance of the evil cave, and even more so the other evil creatures, they are afraid that they have died inside before they reach the entrance of the cave.

Looking at the giant beasts lying near the entrance to the cavern, the apprentice immediately used the Matrix Consciousness Link on the least struggling of them. The moment the link was activated, the apprentice's consciousness extended infinitely like a frantically proliferating vine, and took root directly in the mind of the giant beast in the form of electromagnetic signals.

In just a second or two, the consciousness of the huge beast slowly stopped struggling under the pervasive penetration of the link, and it was obviously judged that the link was successful.

Immediately afterwards, the apprentice linked to Su Hao's consciousness, and the consciousness of the two of them and the consciousness of the giant beast came to the matrix consciousness space together.

The Matrix Consciousness Space is still the same, a virtual world with a texture and sense of déjà vu infinitely close to the real world, with skyscrapers, gray streets, dense fog, blurred outlines of urban vistas, sporadic sunlight, and light gray clouds that forever shroud the sky. Across the street, Su Hao, Su Hao, and the giant beast stood on both sides of the street.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment and the two humans in front of him, the huge beast was stunned for a moment, then its eyes were slowly bloodshot, and the corners of its mouth flowed like saliva, obviously aroused the killing intent again. After entering the matrix consciousness space, the combat power of the linked person's consciousness will not be damaged, and it will return to a full state consistent with the real world, and even the belongings will not be affected.

The beast let out a fierce roar, then spread its legs and rushed towards Su Hao and the apprentice.

Looking at this huge beast that was in a state of rage, Su Hao directly took out the winged butterfly and fired 4 shots in a row. These 4 shots were all frosty Merlin bullets, and they hit the target with a frostbite effect, so the moment the bullets hit the huge beast, a white mist like an explosion of liquid nitrogen erupted from the bullet head, enveloping its body, and freezing a layer of snow-white frost on the surface of its body, directly covering its yellow-gray skin covered with body hair.

Affected by the frostbite effect, the huge beast that was not moving slowly suddenly became sluggish, just like a moving sandbag, and then Su Hao rolled forward, and on the way to the roll, he once again blessed the devil's blow LV2, and when he got up, he shot quickly, hitting the beast's forehead accurately, sending its soul directly into the arms of the high-level heaven, or sinking into the burning hell.

The battle of consciousness was soon over, and the end was that the consciousness of the giant beast had been obliterated, and its physical body in reality would be reduced to an empty shell, and it would soon die due to lack of nutrients.

The apprentice did not start the "Consciousness War" program, so when the consciousness of this huge beast was wiped out, there was no "consciousness information" left, and as an ordinary unit, it would not have known any important secrets, so it did not have to waste the "Consciousness War" that could only be launched once every 72 hours.

But from now on, when the apprentice lights up the skill "Consciousness Unit Editing", he will be able to edit a giant beast in the matrix consciousness space.

The flow rate of the matrix consciousness space and the real world was not equal, and soon, the two of them broke away from that space.

After another half an hour, the poisonous smoke had been fully used inside the cave for some time, and the apprentice extinguished the flames, and then manipulated 2 Terminators and 1 Hummingbird unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to enter the evil cave.

The interior of the Evil Cave is not very well lit, but it can barely see through the drone's camera. The three energy mechanical units explored the cavern for nearly 20 minutes, only seeing a large number of corpses along the way, such as the Sinking Demon, the Sinking Wizard, the Hard-Haired Mouse, the Giant Beast, and so on.

But there's only one creature that's still alive and well, and that's zombies.

The undead nature of zombies makes them immune to this toxic smoke (of course, they are still susceptible to corrosive toxins), but what is particularly surprising is that they turn a blind eye to the energy mechanical units when they see them, perhaps due to their instincts as undead creatures, which are exceptionally sensitive to the breath of life of the living, but blind to the energy mechanical units.

Soon, the energy mechanical unit came to a huge stone chamber deep in the evil cavern, and immediately saw such a scene: surrounded by a group of extremely strong zombies, a powerful zombie with blue fluff on the skin was sitting in the center of the stone chamber like an ascetic, its rough leather body was still flowing with fire, electricity, and a little frost.

This only proves one thing, this blue zombie is the most powerful mini-boss monster in the evil cave: the corpse is on fire!
