Chapter 641 Learn from the barbarians and learn skills to control the barbarians
When he saw Duanmuhuai take off his helmet, the illithid was immediately ecstatic. According to its thinking, if the armor on the opponent has the ability to be immune to mind control, then there is absolutely no way to defeat the opponent. However, now this guy may feel that he is not a threat, so he actually took off his helmet!
Then don’t blame yourself for being rude!
Just as Duanmu Huai took off his armor, the beard-like octopus tentacles at the mouth of the illithid suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Duanmu Huai's neck!
Success!
At this moment, the illithid was almost overjoyed. If an illithid's psychic shock is equivalent to a wireless network, then when its tentacles wrap around the opponent's body, it is equivalent to a wired network. In this case, even if this armor or some amulet has the function of immunity to mind control, It's also impossible to work on illithids.
However, just when the illithid concentrated its attention and planned to completely conquer the opponent's will, Duanmu Huai had already taken off his helmet and revealed his face.
“——————!!”
When the illithid saw Duanmu Huai's face in the light of the fire, its heart was suddenly shocked as if it had been bombarded by a battering ram. Its eyes widened in horror, and its whole body trembled uncontrollably. Even the mental barrier that the illithid is most proud of collapsed at this moment, and then it saw in front of it the most terrifying and terrifying monster it had ever seen in its life, smiling at itself.
"Got you."
The next moment, the roaring spiritual power directly broke through the mental barrier of the illithid and entered the depths of its soul.
"Woo——Gu————Wow————!!"
The illithid's eyes almost popped out, and its body trembled violently, like an out-of-control mechanical toy, while Duanmuhuai closed his eyes and slowly searched the illithid's brain.
Duanmu Huai naturally knew a lot about creatures like the illithid, and of course he also guessed that the opponent might attack when he took off his helmet. But in fact, Duanmu Huai also needs the guidance of the illithids, because only in this way can he learn from the illithids how to manipulate spiritual power to attack.
Yes, the Old Ones and Outer Gods possess powerful spiritual power, but that is not the essence of their power. It can even be said that powerful spiritual power is only part of their essence.
Although it sounds unpleasant to say this, in fact, the Outer Gods and the Old Gods don't care about the Milky Way or humans at all. In their eyes, the Milky Way is no different from an ant nest, and the humans in it are roughly equal to microorganisms. level. Just like most people don't care about the ecological environment of ants and parasites in an ant nest, the Outer Gods and the Old Ones also don't care about these little things.
As for those who suffered mental breakdown due to confronting the Old Ones and Outer Gods, it was mostly because they inadvertently noticed the existence of the other party - just like an ant crawling out of an ant hole and then seeing a person's The kind of shock that comes when feet suddenly fall from the sky and land in front of you.
But it was obvious that the man's kick was not aimed at the ants. He might not even know that there was an ant nest at his feet.
On the contrary, Ant himself was so frightened that he had a nervous breakdown and went crazy after returning.
As for the so-called "cultists summoning foreign gods to destroy the world", it is more completely the fantasy of the cultists themselves. The reason for this result is that these cultists contacted the foreign gods through some channels, and then caused Attention from outside gods.
It's like a person walking on the roadside, and then suddenly heard a voice calling his name from the ant hole. Hey, isn't this interesting? Then I'll open up the ant nest and take a look - the ant nest will definitely be doomed.
Therefore, the arrival of the alien gods will destroy the world, but that has basically nothing to do with the alien gods. It is simply that the alien gods are too powerful. Even just leaning here is enough to completely explode the entire planet.
Maybe then the planet will explode on the spot, and the summoned alien gods will float in the universe with the planet fragments in confusion - I clearly heard someone calling me, where is the person? ?
Therefore, except for a few gods of fun, other outer gods basically don't care about such trivial matters. Human beings, the earth, and the galaxy are not within their scope of concern at all.
Because of this, the mental pollution of these outer gods is more like an aura DEBUFF similar to Duanmuhuai's fear aura. Whoever touches it will die.
So from this perspective, mental pollution is not a spiritual skill, it is just a very simple and unpretentious thing - crushing by strength.
Therefore, if Duanmu Huai wants to actively manipulate his spiritual power to attack, he needs to learn the skills of psychic attack, and it happens that the illithid is a master in this area - when it puts its tentacles on Duanmu Huai, it is like a tower. The originally isolated castle was put down a bridge to connect the battlefields on both sides.
For Duanmuhuai, this is much simpler.
Just rush over.
The mental barrier of the illithid was almost unable to withstand Duanmu Huai's violent mental impact. The mighty power of the old god's will turned into a torrent and directly broke through its protection. Although Duanmu Huai's [Old God's Will] is only at level one, weak divine power is also divine power. No matter how strong the illithid is, it is just a mortal object and cannot resist the power of gods.
Soon, Duanmu Huai's spiritual power was like a group of violent soldiers who broke through the city wall and penetrated deep into the spiritual world of the illithid. They started killing people, setting fires, and robbing treasures. He roughly opened the treasure house of the illithid's memory and took it away. All valuable things were taken away in one go. This kind of mental pain that tore everything apart was far more intolerable to the illithid than the physical pain. Finally.........
“——————!!”
A shrill scream of the soul erupted from the body of the illithid. The next moment, its soft, slippery octopus head exploded completely with a "bang", blood spattered everywhere, and the corpse trembled even more, and then There was no response anymore.
"Hmm...it seems like a little too much force."
Looking at the headless corpse of the illithid, Duanmu Huai curled his lips, and then threw it aside. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was his first time, and he was somewhat ignorant of the importance - this was what he had done when he was young. You will make mistakes. After all, I am still a child.
But even so, Duanmu Huai still got some useful information, such as the location of the illithid city - this is the most important to Duanmu Huai, after all, he knows exactly what he wants to do.
In every illithid city, there is a guy called the "Mastermind", which is a giant brain formed by the fusion of the brain tissue of dead illithids. The role of the mastermind in the city is like a huge server host, responsible for contacting each illithid, issuing orders and conveying will, which is equivalent to the ruler of the illithid city.
More importantly...this thing has no legs.
That's right, the mastermind is a giant brain. Not to mention legs, it doesn't even have arms, so it can't run away.
Rather than extracting the memories of ordinary illithid monsters, wouldn't it be better for Duanmu Huai to go directly to the server host and kill them all at once?
Moreover, each master brain stores a large amount of illithids' memories. Isn't this a larger treasure trove?
"Okay, Ogis, Flail."
Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the two people.
"We're in for something fun!"
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai snapped his fingers - the next moment a spiritual portal opened in front of him. This was also one of the abilities of the illithid. After absorbing the memory of the illithid, Duanmuhuai naturally Also learned how to use this power.
"Let's go!"
Duanmu Huai waved his hand and walked into the portal, and the next moment, he appeared in a city square.
There are huge stalagmites everywhere, and the steps and caves above are rooms for illithids. In the square, in addition to illithids in robes, there are also many creatures of other races - such as Zhuo There are many elves, gray dwarves, goblins, orcs, etc. If it were the first time I saw it, I would think it was a melting pot of races living in harmony.
But in fact, all these creatures are slaves of the illithid. For the illithid, all creatures other than the illithid are their slaves and prey. Although they sometimes form alliances with the drow, But they have no objection to treating a drow as their slave.
The appearance of Duanmuhuai attracted the attention of many illithids, but they did not take any further action. On the contrary, most illithids believed that Duanmuhuai was probably the prey that a certain illithid had just captured—— So soon, silent psychic messages began to spread throughout the square, and the illithids began to communicate with each other about how much the slave could be sold at the auction house.
But of course Duanmuhuai will not let them comment on itself like this.
He looked around coldly, then snorted coldly.
"Hmph————!"
The violent roar turned into a thunderous explosion at this moment, echoing throughout the square, shaking all the illithid monsters, and they were confused for a while. However, this was not the end. At the same time, an aura of fear began to spread, like an excavator hitting the mental barrier of the illithid monsters. They began to hold their heads and let out a scream of terror. Then he fell to the ground twitching.
As experts in mind control, the illithid certainly knew that they were being attacked mentally, but they never thought that there would be some kind of existence that could break through the mind barrier of the illithid - indeed, the illithid Their weak bodies mean that they cannot be killed, but generally speaking, the damage caused to illithid monsters is basically physical damage, and it is almost impossible for there to be any existence that can compete with them in the spiritual realm.
But now... Duanmuhuai appears.
The waves of the old god's will rushed into the brain of the illithid like a flood that broke a bank. The crazy, twisted, and indescribable terrifying power poured into it along the gap opened by the fear aura, devouring, twisting, and contaminating it wantonly. Everything you come into contact with.
At this moment, the illithids were in agony. They fell to the ground and rolled desperately with their heads in their hands. They had no energy left to care about other things. As the illithids were attacked, the slaves of other races in the square also stopped moving and lost control of the illithids. Their selves gradually recovered. Soon, some of them shook their heads. , their eyes gradually became clearer, and then they looked angrily at the illithid lying on the ground, roared, picked up their weapons and hit the illithid.
That may be their master, but that is not important. The anger and shame of being manipulated were completely erupted at this moment, and the body of the illithid itself is not very resistant. Even a gray dwarf holding an iron rod is enough to give him a blow. It hurts enough to knock it to death.
Soon, the square began to become chaotic. The illithids polluted by the will of the old god had almost no resistance. The slaves who lost control either took advantage of this opportunity to escape, or roared to seek revenge on the illithids. hatred.
"Nothing more, a weak alien."
Looking at the chaotic scene, Duanmu Huai shook his head, and then turned around.
"Okay, let's set off, the goal is still ahead."
