Chapter 1477: Authority Coverage, Unexpected Surprise!
After opening a breakthrough from the Ao Clan, the goal of recruiting 120,000 soldiers on the front line was met in just one month.
However, the City Beast did not leave for the front line immediately after completing the goal, but walked and stopped in the Baiduan Mountains.
According to the straight-line distance, it is only about 300 kilometers away from the Ao Clan’s base, which is ridiculously slow.
"According to my investigation during this period, there was no strange incident around the City Beast that night. Only a lightning bolt hit the City Beast. I wonder if this is the reason why it has problems."
"Lightning?" Su Mo frowned slightly.
After seeing the abnormal properties of the Hope, he would never believe that lightning could cause damage to the City Beast. The demigod level is not so fragile.
However, the City Beast did suffer some kind of attack that night, so that the control of the Shadow Beast Clan dropped from 51% to 47.07%, and the City Beast could not be driven to move.
"Could it be that lightning has no effect on the city beasts, but causes great harm to the shadow beasts?"
Although the shadow beasts live in the bodies of the city beasts, they are essentially just ordinary aliens and are indeed likely to be harmed by lightning.
Su Mo secretly guessed and asked casually, "How is the weather in the Baiduan Mountains recently?"
"Not very good, autumn rains one after another."
"Oh? What about thunderstorms? Have you ever observed the whereabouts of the city beasts?"
"Hmm..." Connie thought for a while and nodded.
"I'm not sure about thunderstorms, but the city beasts will stop as long as it rains, which is why they haven't left the Baiduan Mountains until now."
"I see, I will conduct targeted tests on this later."
If lightning can cause great harm to the shadow beasts, then the points consumed to enter the city beast will undoubtedly drop sharply.
In an ideal situation, if the shadow beasts can be dispersed by lightning, more than 51% of the control rights of the city beasts can be directly purchased at the lowest price.
But Su Mo also knows that this situation is unlikely to happen.
After all, as long as the Shadow Beasts completely give up the right to control and shrink, it will be difficult for lightning to continue to cause damage.
But then again, considering that the City Beasts are so bulky, there are many opportunities to try to detect them.
As long as the weaknesses of the Shadow Beasts can be determined, it will be easy to continue researching.
"Since they don't care about my life or death, and even expect me to enter the gambling fight, this is also convenient. I don't have to hide for the next few days."
It's really fate.
It's really a blessing that the first gambling fight was designed by humans. After being busy for half a year, Su Mo didn't expect to have a short rest and relaxation time when the gambling fight was approaching.
After staying in the Ao tribe and eating a simple lunch, the two of them hurried to the direction of the City Beast.
In the Baiduan Mountains, the whereabouts of the City Beasts really can't be hidden at all.
With huge self-weight and special movement methods, wherever the City Beasts pass, the tentacles used to move themselves will constantly leave huge traces like ruts on the ground.
Even after several days of rain, it is still clearly visible.
Using the circulation between the water systems, Connie used magic, and the two of them crossed 300 kilometers in less than four hours.
Since he had mastered the spells to enter and exit the city beast, Su Mo easily entered the city beast without attracting the attention of the alien race accompanying the city beast.
It was still the previous room, with red mist floating inside, giving people a gloomy and deserted feeling.
Green light spread out, scanning the current attributes of the city beast.
As the current panel was brought back, Su Mo glanced at it and was surprised.
"Huh, after so long, the control of the shadow beast clan has not been restored?"
According to the share determined by the system, the control of the shadow beast clan over the city beast still remains at 47.07%.
During this period, the control of the city beast itself has soared to 3.93%.
This was not shown at all before.
At that time, the city beast did not show specific control, but now it has a clear share, and it happens to be the ones lost by the shadow beast clan.
"The Shadow Beast Tribe has not reached 51% of the control, but it can continue to drive the City Beast to move."
"It seems that the purpose of conscription is to allow a large number of creatures to enter the body of the City Beast to consume energy and reduce the overall value."
Su Mo stared at the shares belonging to the City Beast on the panel, and basically understood the intention of the Shadow Beast Tribe to recruit soldiers.
If the City Beast shares are 100, then 47.07 shares will naturally have no control.
But if the shares can be increased to 96.07, then control can be regained in a tricky way.
"It is not known whether the increase in the City Beast's own shares is a good thing, but it is better than giving it back to the Shadow Beast Tribe."
"In this case, then eat up all the cheap shares in one go!"
Before coming, Su Mo's plan was to use 10,000 special survival points and take 10% of the shares to unlock the right to use some of the City Beast's special abilities.
In this way, even if Connie goes to the gambling world with the wasteland as the background, she can guarantee the right to use the City Beast.
But now after seeing the changes in the City Beast, he has changed his mind.
It is dangerous to let the city beasts run wild in the wasteland world. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble.
But if you can get 30% of the usage rights, find the city beasts in the gambling world, and temporarily return them to him, you can surpass the 47.07 of the shadow beasts in one fell swoop.
Su Mo suddenly looked forward to what kind of actions the reborn city beasts would take?
How would the city beasts behave towards the shadow beasts who imprisoned him?
Furthermore, after reaching 30% control, you will be eligible to fight with the Shadow Beast Clan for control of the City Beast.
If you can kick out the Shadow Beast Clan in the gambling world, you can completely master the use of the City Beast.
Hiss.
Thinking of the unique brainwashing ability of the City Beast, Su Mo suddenly realized that this thing is a bit invincible when used in the battle of faith?
"30,000 is 30,000, the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come!"
"Done!"
Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet.
Su Mo made up his mind and resolutely drew out 30,000 points from the account to hand over to the system for use.
In an instant.
The number "67095" in the special survival point column quickly became blurred, and when it became clear again, it had sharply decreased to "37095".
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from Su Mo's chest, like a gorgeous firework, instantly illuminating the surroundings.
It's actually red?
Su Mo was shocked. The last time he saw the system emitting red light was when he was strengthening the shelter blueprint.
At that time, the blueprints did not know what had attracted the attention of the Supreme Being.
It was this red light that forced the other party to retreat, leaving no trouble.
Now the red light reappeared...
The light merged into the red mist floating in the room and began to spread to every space inside the city beast.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Suddenly, an inexplicable vibration came from the void, painting the entire room black.
The originally narrow space was constantly enlarged under the influence of the black breath, and quickly filled the entire field of vision.
Su Mo paused, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination.
The red light and the black mist intertwined, as if two completely different forces were fighting silently, each occupying half of the world.
However, although the red light was strong, it seemed a little thin in this sudden black wave, and sometimes it would be suppressed by the surging black tide to only one-third.
The only thing that made people feel fortunate was that this suppression did not last long. Every time there was only one-third left, the red light would more stubbornly penetrate into every inch of the corner touched by the darkness.
The buzzing sound became stronger and stronger, with an indescribable sense of oppression.
Su Mo's pupils shrank suddenly, and a pair of eyes appeared in the black tide at some point.
The power contained in it seemed to be able to see through all the secrets of the world, and it seemed to be able to swallow all the light and colors around it. The moment it appeared, the entire space inside the city beast trembled, and even the red mist and black air in the air seemed to solidify at this moment.
"Could this pair of eyes be... the Lord of the Abyss?"
A terrible thought appeared in Su Mo's mind and became lingering.
As the offspring of the Lord of the Abyss, although the city beast was inhabited by the shadow beast clan, it still had a connection with the Lord of the Abyss.
At this moment, when the system deprived the city beast of control of its body, it inevitably attracted such a terrifying existence.
But why didn't the shadow beast clan welcome the Lord of the Abyss?
Wait...
Suddenly, Su Mo suddenly realized why obtaining the right to use the city beast would cause such a big reaction.
Inhabitation, deprivation.
These are two completely different concepts. It can be said that the latter is almost asking the city beast to recognize its master.
No wonder the Lord of the Abyss was provoked. His offspring will become the slaves of other creatures. What a provocation, how arrogant!
"System... The system will not fight with the Lord of the Abyss like this, right?"
Looking at the remaining 30,000 special survival points, Su Mo's face could not help but look ugly.
To deal with such an existence, 30,000 points is definitely a drop in the bucket.
Even if it is 300,000 points, I am afraid it may not be able to take down a top-level existence like the Lord of the Abyss, right?
Fortunately, this stalemate lasted only more than ten seconds.
As the red light continued to flash, the eyes of the Lord of the Abyss gradually disappeared, and the spreading darkness also disappeared.
Just like when the Hope appeared, a strange spiritual connection began to appear in Su Mo's mind.
However, in stark contrast to the neutral and peaceful atmosphere conveyed by the Hope, which contained a hint of warmth, the spiritual connection of the City Beast seemed extremely violent and fierce. Even under the strong suppression of the system, its violent nature was still difficult to conceal.
"Too dangerous, I still need to be cautious in such attempts in the future..." Su Mo still stared at the position before his eyes disappeared, and a warning bell sounded in his heart.
It is true that the system can strip enough control from the City Beast.
But because of the inexplicable existence provoked by this behavior, it is highly likely that he will not help him clean up his ass.
At this time, if there are not enough survival points, the threat level is no less than being targeted by "Wei".
"Fortunately, I survived, and got thirty permissions!"
Sweeping away the fear, Su Mo exhaled a breath of turbid air and began to check the updated City Beast panel.
[Abyss City Beast (Special Creature)]
[Description]: ...
[Current Level]: Pseudo-God Level·First Entry
[Current State]: Semi-parasitic State·Predatory Chaos State (Originally inhabited by the Shadow Beast Clan, and then forcibly occupied by the host. The interweaving of the forces of both parties caused the City Beast to enter an extremely unstable self-chaotic state. In this state, there is a probability that the City Beast will lose control when using its abilities, causing unknown consequences)
[Current Possession]: 30% (Possession can be increased by injecting points)
[Unlocked Abilities]:
Falling into the Abyss (When inside the Abyss City Beast, the biological energy field will resonate and exchange with the City Beast. When the energy field exchange reaches 30%, the creature will never be able to leave the City Beast on its own initiative)
Abyssal infection (the abyss city beast can release a special mental wave that affects the thinking and emotions of the creatures inside. The degree of this influence is determined by the creature's stay time. The longer the stay time, the deeper the infection)
Apostle (the creature that has completed the abyss will automatically be converted into the apostle of the city beast and obey the orders of the city beast)
Resonance (under certain conditions, all apostles will lose all thinking ability, resonate with the orders of the city beast, and are willing to give everything to achieve it)
[? ? ? ], [? ? ? ], [? ? ? ]
[Evaluation]: One of the most perfect prototypes of the shelter!
...
30% of the authority unlocked four new abilities.
Su Mo showed a thoughtful look on his face. After checking the literal description, he immediately used the mental connection to feel.
As expected, it is worthy of being a demigod-level creature and worthy of being the offspring of the Lord of the Abyss.
Each of the four abilities unlocked by the city beast can be said to be ridiculously strong.
Falling into the Abyss is the ability used by the Shadow Beasts to control the dead soldiers.
Through repeated exchanges of energy fields, the strength of the aliens entering the City Beast will increase rapidly.
But as the degree of improvement increases, they will also be restricted accordingly and will no longer be able to actively leave the City Beast.
As the system stripped away 30% of the authority, Su Mo also gained the authority to use this item.
And unlike the Shadow Beasts who can only roughly control the parasite state, he can use it more accurately.
Through mental connection, the degree of control exchange of the City Beast can be accurately controlled to one tenth.
That is, the degree of falling into the abyss can be actively controlled to 29%, which not only gains strength growth, but also will not be affected by the side effects of falling into the abyss.
Secondly, when the Shadow Beasts use the ability of Abyss Dye, they can only set a simple mental goal.
For example, the current setting of 'rushing to the front line and fighting humans at all costs'.
However, through mental connection, Su Mo was shocked to find that he could actually modify this mental goal directly.
In addition, a new goal can be added to this mental goal.
That is to say, the nearly 200,000 soldiers of the alien race who are kept in the city beast can become human "allies" immediately as long as he changes his spiritual goals in a moment.
Or he can add one more spiritual goal to the original spiritual goal, that is, if he encounters a gesture made by humans, he must unconditionally draw his sword against the alien race.
"Fuck, it's not surprising that the Lord of the Abyss is attracted. The plunder and the hostage of the system are completely different things!"
With only 30% of the authority, it can cover the commands generated by nearly 50% of the authority of the Shadow Beast Clan.
No wonder the control can be competed with the Shadow Beast Clan when the possession is increased to 30%.
50% of the hostage should focus most of the commands on the control of the movement of the city beast, and the part that can really be pressed on the ability is estimated to be only about 10%.
"There are also apostles, and resonance..."
"These abilities...Fuck, they are really more perverted than each other!"
Su Mo was overjoyed.
Converted to the changes brought about by the last version of up to 300,000 survival points, the winning rate of gambling has increased by at least half.
If the gambling scene cannot be changed, then the alien race will probably face another failure that is no less than the battle of Wanjing!
