Chapter 318: Soul Crystal Pool
After everyone dispersed in their own minds, Midi soon entered the depths of the central temple, a large rotunda.
And in the depths of this rotunda, the darkness that cannot be dissolved, lurks there, and faintly in it, two extremely tall figures, each holding a sharp weapon, waiting for the intruder.
None other than the two Lords of Shadows.
"Kill!" Midi shouted, and a flame-like golden-red sword light rose all around his body, not only that, but a mighty dragon power directly diffused!
With one against two, the kind of consumption method used before will not work, and the last will only cause Midi to exhaust his physical strength first, so this time, Midi's choice of method is very simple, that is, full firepower, and when he comes up, he will exert the strongest force, in order to kill the opponent in an instant.
The Shadow King's psychic ability is extremely oppressive, but Long Wei's lethality to shadow creatures is even stronger!
If neither side defends, who will emerge victorious?
"Shadow Golem!" Midi's mind moved, and two clouds of smoke appeared in the darkness, striking at one of the Shadow Lords.
In the mental impact formed by the synergy of the two Shadow Kings, a gap suddenly appeared.
And at this moment, Midi condensed the surging dragon power around him into a sword, tearing through the air, penetrating the space, and directly slashing it with an extremely domineering attitude.
In the violent impact, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Midi's mouth, and his face was even more pale as if he was dead, but this blow also killed a Shadow King on the spot, and the aftermath of Long Wei greatly reduced the magic aura of the remaining one.
Without any hesitation, Midi pulled himself together and manipulated the Shadow Golem to contain it from the side, swallowing the blood from his throat before slashing out again.
A terrifying dragon roar resounded in the hall, sweeping a boiling storm, and the already wounded King of Shadows could not resist the force at all, and finally was gradually turned into a dark powder and passed away with the wind.
In just a few breaths, Midi slew two Shadow Kings in a row.
This sight would have caused a shocking shock if it had fallen into the eyes of others, but for Midi, it was the result of calculations.
After all, he had fought against the Lord of Shadows before, and he had enough knowledge of the opponent's defense, physique, and attack strength. After that, all you have to do is calculate how much you have to pay to kill the other party.
In other words, it's not really a battle, it's just an exchange attack.
Midi resisted the oppression of psychic abilities with his transcendentally awakened physique, but the Lords of Shadows couldn't withstand the slash with dragon might, so Midi won.
It's that simple.
However, this will naturally come at a great cost, and this is the first time that Midi has been hurt in the true sense of the word since becoming an extraordinary awakener.
"The psychic ability is really extraordinary, even if it is attacking the spirit, it will still be fed back to the physical body in the end. Midi thought to herself as she went through the treatment.
But this setback did not make Midi hesitate, but only strengthened his belief in becoming a top hunter.
After just half an hour, relying on the high-grade alchemy potion and the powerful recovery power brought by the dragon's blood, Midi's internal injuries had healed. He carefully worked on the magic in his body to make sure there were no dark injuries, and then he stood up and walked towards the depths of the hall.
And the deeper she went, the more Midi realized that something was wrong.
Originally, the hall was lit by magic lanterns everywhere, and there were multiple skylights on the ceiling to bring in starlight from the outside world.
But now, as we went deeper into the temple, the light around me became weaker and the darkness thicker, almost like impenetrable ink that spread out.
Even when Midi ran the golden-red sword, the power of the sword did not decrease, but the light on it was eroded and even swallowed by the darkness.
All the light cannot last here.
Only the darkness itself occupies the entire field of vision.
At the same time, Midi felt a spiritual energy in the darkness.
This psionic energy was like a rope, one end tied to Midi's mind, the other extending infinitely into the depths of the temple, with no end in sight.
It seems that after the initial force test, this trial is not to fight against the psychic ability, but to feel the psychic ability.
Sensing the meaning of the temple's arrangement, Midi simply summoned two Shadow Golems to follow him as guards, and at the same time closed his eyes directly, feeling the location of the spiritual energy attentively.
Gradually, as the spiritual power gathered, the traction of the spiritual energy became clearer and clearer.
Following this rope that existed only in consciousness, Midi walked out of the city step by step.
Of course, he hadn't considered the possibility that this psionic pull was some kind of trap, so before each action, he let the Shadow Golem test it directly in the dark by beating and other means.
Along the way, Midi did try out a large number of traps, and there were several locations, directly bottomless pits, if one accidentally fell, I am afraid that I would not be able to climb up at all.
It's just that the psionic pull doesn't lead Midi into the trap, it leads it away.
In other words, for those who don't have a Shadow Golem to tempt, this psionic pull is the only way forward.
However, even so, Midi still maintains enough caution, knowing that many times, the real and the false are mixed together, which makes it easier for people to lose their vigilance.
Fortunately, the creator of this mental labyrinth does not seem to have achieved this level, but simply wants the trialist to feel the psionic energy.
And the later it gets, the weaker the feeling of this spiritual traction becomes, and it needs to be perceived with more spiritual power.
Even after being reborn, Midi, whose will was far more determined than ordinary people, had to stop from time to time and hold his breath to induce, so that he could grasp this long line, which had now become as thin as a gossamer.
Finally, after walking forward for an unknown distance, a bright silver light bloomed in Midi's consciousness.
He subconsciously opened his eyes, only to find that the darkness around him was slowly fading like a tide, and he had arrived in a large hall in the deepest part of the temple.
The walls of this hall are inlaid with a large number of magic lanterns, causing the darkness to fade and the light to return to the light.
In the center of the main hall is a huge pool made of unknown materials. In this pool, the water of the pond presents a refreshing sky blue, and at a glance, it is like seeing a blue sky and white clouds that can never be seen in the starry ocean!
"Psychic Crystal Pool......" Midi gasped.
Others may not know the Dao, but for Midi, who had fought countless battles with the Mind Flayer in his previous life, and finally captured the headquarters of the Blue Truth Sect, he had not only seen this pool, but also knew its important role very well.
One of the major functions of the Psychic Crystal Pool is to liquefy invisible spiritual energy and transform it into something similar to magic that the physical body can absorb. Legend has it that those Mind Flayer were born from this pool.
In other words, this Psychic Crystal can be considered the most important core mechanism in the Mind Flayer community.
But why is it that at this moment, this Soul Crystal Pool will appear in the labyrinth of the minds of cultivating the Mind Catcher?
Midi's mind suddenly had such a doubt, but he could not find an answer.
The only thing that can be determined is that this spiritual crystal pool is not an illusion, but a real thing that actually exists in front of you.
Midi carefully stretched out a finger and dipped it into the azure spiritual energy solution of this spiritual crystal pool, and in an instant, a feeling that paralyzed the soul passed into his body along his fingertips, like a stream of lightning that traveled all over his body, but his mind became extremely clear and sharp at this moment.
At the same time, the ancient voice sounded again: "The Mind Crystal Pool has been activated, do you want to go through the trial of mind control?" This is the final test of becoming a mind catcher, it is full of dangers, but there are also opportunities in it. ”
"Proceed. Midi replied in the same consciousness, without hesitation.
"So, enter the Psychic Pool, Trialist, and then use all your strength to complete this trial. The old voice said lightly.
The sound had always felt imbued with an inhumane mechanical feel, as if it had been recorded in advance.
But this time, for some reason, Midi felt that there seemed to be a hint of relief and anticipation in this ancient voice.
Is the trial of becoming a top-level mindcatcher actually taking place in the Mind Crystal Pool where the Mind Flayer Demon was born?
Midi felt puzzled in his heart, but the attempt he had just made with his fingers made him understand that even if the whole person was immersed in the Spiritual Crystal Pool, it would not bring any danger, on the contrary, that feeling of empty and clear thinking could be said to be very beneficial to cultivation.
So, despite feeling confused, he stepped into the spiritual crystal pool, immersed himself in it, and then entered a meditative state.
The next moment, Midi only felt as if his surroundings were plunged into darkness, and his facial features felt completely blocked, and even his heartbeat seemed to be invisible.
And after a few moments, the scene in front of him suddenly lit up.
A lavish room appeared in front of Midi's eyes.
"The trial begins now, and the survival time is calculated. An ancient voice sounded, sobering him up, "Every day of reality is equivalent to a month spent in a trial, please remember. ”
"One day equals a month......? Illusion?" Midi immediately entered the state.
The so-called illusion realm is a skill that is several levels higher than the psychic illusion array, and if it is used by a real spiritual powerhouse, it is enough to form a city or even a country. And the speed of time in it can naturally be adjusted arbitrarily, after all, it is not real time, it is just a feeling.
And the human mind enters this illusion as if it were a dream, except that the dream is built by psychic powers, and it seems so real that it may even be lost in it.
Midi's will is extremely strong, and he is a reborn person, and he has seen many methods of psionic beings, so he can be sure that his body is still sitting in the spiritual crystal pool, and only his consciousness has entered the illusion.
Soon, however, Midi felt that something was very wrong.
Because he suddenly found that his "body" in the illusion seemed to be quite different from the original.
His heart sank slightly, and he immediately ran and searched the building where he had awakened, and soon Midi found a huge crystal mirror.
He looked at it, and then, on the smooth mirror, he saw what he was now.
It was a true mind slayer.
