423. Demon God Host
"Huh? What is this breath? β
Li Nuo frowned, always feeling that the breath was very familiar, but it was a little unfamiliar.
In his senses, five strange things appeared in the ship's laboratory with violent energy fluctuations.
They are emitting an aura of destruction and desire.
Anyone who gets their hands on it will instantly transform into a pure killing machine.
Several of the armed crew guarding the lab avoided it, their breath eroding, their flesh festering, their horrible appearances, their eyes bloodshot, and frantically attacking all targets in their vicinity.
The problem is that the medium through which this breath is transmitted is not air, but spiritual energy.
It's a kind of psychic shock that acts directly on the psyche.
The armed crew doesn't have psychic props to protect them.
After encountering this kind of unguardable psychic shock, they all fell for it, and it was impossible to reverse and cure it in a short period of time.
On the contrary, the robot on the ship is safe and sound.
They don't have a "mind", and naturally lack a medium that can be eroded by the aura of danger.
However, the armed, insane crew members are clearly not going to let the robots go.
Regardless of whether the other party was one of their own or not, the armed crew would attack it in a frenzy, even the walls and ceilings of the ship's corridors.
Li Nuo threw out the "Psychic Vision" in the direction of the laboratory, and quickly glanced at the situation inside.
The source of the breath is the artificial angel brain controlled by the demon brain clan.
The dark priests who study the brains are not crazy, they are the ones who are responsible for all this.
They set up some kind of ritual circle in the lab, smearing the walls and floors with inky black paste, creating an incomprehensible pattern of magic circles.
After locking the door to the lab, the Dark Clergy set a small group against the door to prevent the frantic crew from rushing in.
The other group of people stood in a circle around the five brains in the center of the circle, muttering words and chanting something in a strange tone.
A thick black mist erupted from the center of the circle, polluting the brains controlled by the Demon Brains, slowly dyeing them black.
Leno saw some doorways.
The source of the breath that hit the hearts of the crew members actually came from the black mist in the magic circle, not the brain controlled by the demon brains.
Those five brains were just using their psychic abilities to spread their breath outside of the lab.
So, what really drove the crew crazy was the circle set up by the dark clerics.
Destroy this thing, and the armed crew will probably be back to normal.
Li Nuo intended to destroy the circle, but not to save the armed crew who were not dealing with him.
What really drove him to make a move was the magic circle.
Little by little, this thing is transforming five brains into pure black.
When the entire brain turns black, they are sucked in by the circle and transported thousands of light-years away.
Why did Li Nuo know the purpose of the magic circle?
Hey, of course the Dark Cleric "told" him.
Li Nuo used the "Universal Communication Technique" to understand the conversation of the dark clerics.
It is to the effect that they are taking alternate means to teleport these five angelic brains controlled by the Demon Brain Clan to the base camp of the Dark God Descendants.
The person in charge of receiving the brains in the base camp is a certain archpriest in the Dark God Sect.
Because a dark god was sealed in his body, when the great priest made a move, the breath of the god inevitably leaked out.
This situation will spread through the psychic abilities of the angelic brains, causing riots.
Now, the most important thing for the dark priests is to ensure that the ritual is carried out safely and unmistakably.
Whenever there is the slightest deviation, the ritual circle will explode and destroy the living targets in the laboratory, or the gods in the great priest's body will go berserk, tear apart the great priest, and use the ritual circle to come here.
Anyway, as long as you insist, persevere, and persist.
Once the five brains have been teleported, the Dark Clergy will secretly head to the upper deck and leave the battlefield in a shuttle.
The above key content is also mixed with some curses against the attacker and the like, and Li Nuo has filtered them all.
In line with the principle that the more the enemy doesn't want it to happen, the more he wants it to happen, Li Nuo decided to play the big ticket.
At this moment, there is chaos in the corridor outside the laboratory, and it is a good time to fish in troubled waters.
Without saying a word, Li Nuo aimed at the corpse of a crew member leaning against the door of the laboratory, and launched the "Evil Explosion Technique".
"Bang!!"
With the bonus of "Heart of Magic", the power of "Evil Explosion" is never more powerful than ever.
A sudden explosion not only swept away the crazy crew members nearby, but also blew up the door of the laboratory.
The door panel bent and the crack opened wide, and an even stronger dark aura erupted and spread rapidly along the corridor.
The dark cleric in the lab was taken aback and nearly forced to interrupt the ritual.
By the time they had calmed down, there was already a roar and dense footsteps in the depths of the corridor outside the door.
A large group of armed crews eroded by the aura were rushing towards the lab, constantly attacking everything around them along the way.
Coincidentally, the armed crew that was supposed to go to the cargo hall corridor to intercept the player happened to be affected by the breath.
They jerked around and rushed towards the lab, completely oblivious to their own mission.
It didn't take long for the originally spacious and bright corridor to turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Torn power armor and stumps were everywhere, the blood on the walls was terrifying, and the screams were terrible and frenzied.
"Bang
Several crew members threw themselves on the deformed laboratory door and hammered it violently, smashing it with a clatter.
One by one, the mechanical chains connecting the gate to the wall cracked, and the cables that carried the energy were brutally torn off, sending sparks to the ground.
The dark priest who stood up against the door of the laboratory shouted at the top of his voice.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Quicken the chant!"
"The door of the lab won't last long!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! β
A dark priest standing on the ritual circle and chanting in a low voice suddenly tilted his head, revealing a green and prominent face from under his hood.
His eyes were round, his eyeballs were covered with cobweb-like bloodshots, and dark red blood beads were dripping from the corners of his mouth.
A thread of white foam appeared on the side of his mouth, and the dark priest's voice was inexplicably high-pitched:
"Ah~~ I feel it! It is a call from the Most High Being! He's calling me! Listen to me! β
"Damn it!" The other dark priest was very upset, and scolded angrily:
"Why did this bastard drop the chain at this time, quickly pull him away from the ritual circle, otherwise..."
Before the man could finish speaking, the dark priest with foam at the corners of his mouth screamed:
"I will serve you with slaughter and darkness! My hosts!! β
The screams shook violently in the lab, and all the glassware exploded.
The five brains, which were being dyed jet black by the circle, also swelled at the same time, and the skin on the surface was stretched to almost transparent.
The dark priests present spat blood from their mouths, and their bodies fell backwards uncontrollably, and several people collapsed to the ground in embarrassment.
The ritual circle is out of control!
And it's a very serious kind of loss of control!
The heads of five artificial angels exploded at the same moment.
The flesh flew sideways, and it seemed to be manipulated by an invisible force, forming a huge cocoon around the mad dark priest.
The rest of the Dark Clergy looked in horror at the huge cocoon in front of them, which was more than three meters high, and their bodies trembled.
"Oops! It's coming! The dark god has arrived! β
"Run! This guy has become a host for the dark gods! β
The dark clerics stood firmly, holding on to the tables, chairs, and benches in the laboratory, and walked briskly towards the door.
Unfortunately, their escape was destined to be fraught with danger.
The mad crew outside the door had blocked the entire passageway, leaving no space for the Dark Clergy to pass through.
What's more, the Dark Priest is also on the list of attacks by the mad crew.
A dark priest had just approached the gate when he was grabbed by an arm reaching out through the door.
This arm is encased by the power arm of the power armor, and the force is heavy and the grip is amazing.
The dark cleric in the black cloak was no match for the power arm at all, and his arm was broken on the spot by the thick steel palm, and he screamed incessantly.
"Idiot! Don't go near the crack in the door! The dark priest guarding the door shouted.
How do you get into the passage without getting close to the crack in the door?
The dark priests trapped in the laboratory looked at each other, and could only look at the flesh cocoon in the room in despair and pessimism, waiting for their own death.
As they wished, there was a bang, and an explosion came.
This time, it wasn't that Li Nuo did any small moves again, but that the meat cocoon blew itself up.
Blood was splattered everywhere, and the house was covered with filth.
A strange figure with bone barbs on its surface slowly stood up on the ground, straightening its slender body, which was more than three meters tall.
The figure raised his right hand, like a wolf's claw, and shook it lightly in the air.
The flesh and blood gathered around it, and as it wriggled, it transformed into a cape, armor, helmet, gauntlets, and boots, which were automatically worn on its body.
Just as Li Nuo was secretly observing, a message from the game "Star Sea" appeared in his mind.
γAttention! γ
[There has been a "Demon Ascension" event in the area! γ
[The "Demon God Host" has arrived! γ
[You, along with all the players in the same area, have automatically taken on the sudden quest "Clear the Demon God Host"!] γ
[Mission Details: You can freely choose to avoid the Demon God Host, or fight it.] γ
[Quest Reward: There is no reward for successfully avoiding the Demon God host.] Successfully defeat the Demon God Host, and reward a Demon God Cell that matches the host's level. γ
[Failure Penalty: None.] γ
Belch?
The game system sent me a quest too?
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to sense the direction the player was in.
The barrage shot by the players paused for half a second, apparently receiving a message from the game as well.
Different from Li Nuo's stunned look, the players were inexplicably excited, and their emotions were far higher than successfully boarding the ship.
"It turns out that this fleet hides the Demon God host! No wonder this is an SS-level side quest! β
"I'll just say it! SS-class side quests, how can it be as simple as attacking the transport fleet! β
"It's a big deal! There's a demon god host here! β
"Report to the Commander! I dare say the people who went around the pole must have remorseled their bowels! β
What's going on?
Why are players so excited?
Li Nuo noticed the slightest strangeness, and always felt as if he had overlooked something that was common sense for players.
The players who were originally sweeping around the other ships all put down the fat sheep in their hands and flew towards the transport ship as soon as they heard that the Demon God host had appeared on the heavy transport ship.
More and more players gathered on the heavy transport ship, and everyone excitedly discussed it while cleaning out the armed crew in the cabin.
Only then did Li Nuo know what was going on.
It turns out that before the current game expansion was opened, the player's favorite wild boss was the Demon God Host.
For players, this is a type of unexpected event that will randomly spawn in populated areas.
As long as the Demon God host is killed, players can get a Daedric Cell as a reward.
Demon God Cells can be harmlessly processed to create a Space Marine Breakthrough Potion, or a Gene Lock Release Potion.
The Space Marine Breakthrough Flask is designed to break through the ranks of the Space Marine class, such as breaking through from a Junior Space Marine at full level (level 60) to an intermediate Space Marine at level 0.
The Gene Lock Release Elixir corresponds to the Gene Modifier class, and its effect is somewhat similar to that of the Space Marine Breakthrough Potion.
The difference is that after breaking through to the advanced genetic modifier, the player has a chance to unlock the hidden class of telekinesis.
Since the telekinesis can only be unlocked with a 0.02% chance after breaking through the high-level genetic modifiers, the local tyrants will repeatedly use the genetic repair solution to initialize the rank of the genetic modifier, and then inject the gene lock release potion to break through the rank, so as to constantly try to unlock the hidden profession of the telekinesis.
This operation directly led to a shortage of gene lock release agents.
As a raw material, the Demon God Cell has naturally become the best-selling valuable.
Even if the expansion pack is opened now, the price of the Demon God Cell in the Unification Bureau Exchange has not fallen.
After the appearance of the pole-winding Dafa, the price of the Demon God Cell directly ushered in a skyrocket.
It's not so much that it's pegged to credits, but that the cornerstone of its price is real-world money.
It can be said that the Demon God Cell is the hard currency in the game, which can perfectly offset the negative impact of the explosion of credit production.
As soon as the players who boarded the ship heard that there was a demon god host here, the feeling of being an upstart was spontaneous.
When they see the Demon God host, they are as kind as seeing their own relatives.
Players have long figured out the combat mechanism of the wild boss such as the Demon God Host from hundreds of battles.
What's more, they have now mastered the three-ring magic, and their combat power has directly increased by an order of magnitude.
The demon god host that appeared here can be said to be a send.
Please, come back with a great reward like this one.
Players are laughing and playing, and they feel more relaxed.
They weren't in a hurry to go to the location of the Demon God's host marked in the game to trigger the battle.
After all the players who received the news arrived, it was not too late to open the boss.
After all, the more players you have, the more powerful your output will be, and the faster you will fight bosses.
Moreover, the so-called Demon God Cells are not dropped from the Demon God Host, but are derived from the quest reward.
Players can't fight to the death for the loot.
The fact that the game system fairly distributes the rewards of the wild boss is much better than the "whoever strikes the final blow gets the pickup". (End of chapter)
