Invincible Chapter 740

? A series of small adjustments extended the rest time by about a quarter of an hour. At 23:00, the team entered the dense forest area.

The actual effect of burning footprints proved that Kane was not bragging.

Even if there is a thick ground cover in the dense forest, the light can still shine through.

In fact, this is the force of King Xin. The fire of the soul cannot be blocked by matter, and the extraordinary flame driven by it can activate the fire element in all matter, and then present this transmission effect.

The subordinates after being 'reduced to wisdom' looked like sleepwalking, and they seemed a little drifting when they walked, but they could step on the spot with every step, and their state was quite satisfactory.

The investigators were at the tail of the team, followed by Kane, Oliver, Ghost Girl, Cicero and Elliott.

Not long after entering the dense forest, the investigators no longer vaguely felt the danger, but really felt the anomaly.

The unspeakable coldness surrounds people, and the exposed skin will feel a clear tingling pain.

The temperature is much lower than the temperature in the wilderness, but there is no ice and snow, but wet and viscous, as if there is ice fog at the level of a steam bath, but it is completely invisible.

The slight rotten smell pierces into the human nose, not like the smell of soaked and decomposed plant branches and leaves, but more like the smell of dead animals.

There are rich associations, as if seeing a quagmire nearby, with a half-dead reindeer floating in it...

The sound of clattering came from time to time, like the sound of wind blowing half-dried leaves, but there was no wind in this dense forest.

And the most uncomfortable point is the feeling of being watched by countless eyes.

Investigators all have spiritual vision, or perception beyond ordinary people, so they can even feel the emotional component attached to this kind of peeping, just like a hungry hunter staring at his prey, greedy, excited, but rationally judged by the situation Suppressed, don't know when it will explode.

The investigators also noticed that there was an unusual darkness in the dense forest, and the deeper it went, the thicker the darkness became. It felt like walking deep into the mine.

The only thing that can make people feel a little bit at ease is the flaming footprints that Kane blessed Moody. The orange-red, burning flames are as clear and stable as ever, like lamps on the ground, becoming a self-positioning The best reference.

go deeper,

More voices came, erratic and ethereal, as if someone was speaking in an obscure language, intermittently, and even the emphasis of cadence and exclamation could be heard.

Whispers of the devil.

More than one person has described a similar situation, and secular doctors generally regard it as a kind of auditory hallucinations, and even have a special pathological explanation, which is very serious.

But the investigators have a different view, thinking that it may also be a means of infringement, just like a pendant used for hypnosis, staring at it for a while will make people's eyelids heavy and drowsy, and the whispers of the devil can be heard Over time, problems will arise.

The devil's whispers cannot be resisted by ordinary methods. Some extraordinary people even temporarily lose their hearing, but they can still 'hear' them.

That is to say, it is actually a kind of "confuse control" type of mental attack, which is aimed at the mental energy represented by the "listening state".

This is in the same category as "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes at you", except that one is for the state of listening and the other is for the state of seeing.

The solution is to either master the 'Occlumency Technique' and other defensive methods against mental attacks, or 'calm the mind and cool down naturally'.

Under such circumstances, the effect of Kane casting spells for the subordinates and Moody successively appeared.

Many people think that the reason why the subordinates obey their orders is that the reason behind it is similar to turning people into simple-minded, innocent and happy idiots.

It is not.

While prescription drugs for depression can make people "live and die, and feel that everything doesn't matter," they don't make thinking simple.

The way to create a subordinate is actually to turn them into mental patients with strengthened 'stress reflexes'. Specifically speaking, it is more like lion taming. Let the lion clearly remember the gesture instructions of the trainer. Once it sees it, it will instinctively associate with the whip and fresh meat, and then respond by seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Therefore, the ideological activities of subordinates are not simple, and even in many cases, they are in a state of struggle, the struggle between orders and self-will, and in the end, they often overcome their natural instincts such as freedom and laziness by relying on the memory of the tragic consequences after disobedience. .

Kane is a master of confusion control and the king of puppets. His experience in this area is not ordinary. By observing the micro-expression and sensing the fluctuation of the force field of the subordinate's soul, he can judge his state and the technical faction behind it.

Because of this, he knew that these seemingly taciturn subordinates were actually active volcanoes, and a trigger could lead to an eruption.

Such them are the most likely to be taken down by the old branch's enchantment and control techniques, or to be influenced by divine power. Once the old memories repressed in the bottom of my heart are revealed and explode properly, it may even stimulate the body, cause mutations, and turn into terrifying monsters.

Kane didn't know exactly what kind of mythical creature was lurking in the dense forest. Based on his past experience of fighting against mythical creatures, he first sealed this loophole.

In his opinion, the monsters of the old series are actually not particularly strong. The main disadvantage is the lack of variability. This may be because their three-axes can always succeed, and there is no motivation to promote the diversity of combat skills.

It can be said that as long as you can deal with it rationally, it is not difficult to defeat most of the mythical creatures, and the most difficult thing is precisely this 'reason', most of the people who encounter the old branch can't get up 'as long as', because these guys are It seems like it has its own bgm, people always come first before they arrive, once the san value is reduced, people are already dying, how can they be rational?

Kane felt that even if his temporary comrades-in-arms did not summarize clear experience information like him, they should have a certain awareness of precautions. After all, they are all people with background and inheritance, so they are not like leading a new team Generally nagging.

Even sometimes, it is better not to say that the atmosphere created by the old branch is an island of the soul. The deeper the exploration, the more serious the sense of isolation, which cannot be understood or shared, and the test of will has reached a perverted level. degree.

Take the current situation as an example, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be exposed if you are not prepared. It’s not enough to pay too much attention to it. The more you take it seriously, the tighter your heartstrings will be, and the more likely you will go wrong. The oriental way of saying, “the appearance of the body”, the general appearance will affect the performance of the level, but the appearance here, It was like planting the seeds of terror.

That's why Kevin reminded them to control their curiosity.

Kane has a special practice in this area, that is, "clear mirror stops water", by seeing through the general situation and essence, he can calm himself down.

This is tantamount to breaking the core principle of the old series of confusion control techniques "the greatest fear comes from the unknown". All the phenomena are just the specific explanation of this principle, relying on showing off creativity to attract people's attention.

So he can turn a blind eye, hear but not hear, and the subordinates who have been "reduced to wisdom" are almost in this state, as if they are extremely tired, they may fall over at any time, and just fall asleep, with a muddled head, unable to concentrate, the only one who can What to do is to follow the footprints that are one deep and one shallow.

Moody, who has used Occlumency, can control the amount of external information received to a considerable extent and avoid excessive emotional arousal because of the "substitution" level.

Coupled with the fact that he needs to open the way and focus on this matter, the influence of the outside world on him will not be so serious.

Moody, 7 subordinates, Kane, as the first half of the team, their condition is not bad, the car is very stable.

For the next five people, the situation is not so good.

They also know what to do, but their minds are the most difficult to control. Even if they find something for themselves, such as counting or something, they still can't completely get rid of distracting thoughts, especially under the stimulation of external forces, they can't help but think wildly. Once it starts, the situation will deteriorate rapidly, and it will become more difficult to regain calm and concentration.

The first to go wrong was Cicero, who suddenly uttered a most horrific cry, and fell headlong to the ground.

Kane's reaction was the calmest, and he stopped the team at the first time, but due to his position, when he was walking towards the end of the team, something further happened.

"Don't touch him!"

Kane's warning was too late, and Elliott, who was walking behind Cicero, instinctively stepped forward to check the situation, but as soon as his finger touched Cicero's body, it was as if a mysterious switch had been activated. Stand up suddenly.

This station is very similar to that of the pretender who pretended to be a female patient that Kane encountered in Jenny's clinic. They all have obvious unreasonable features, as if they were bounced by some invisible force.

The investigators at the scene were all first-class experts, and they reacted quickly. Seeing the situation, they immediately jumped away. At the same time as the ghost girl jumped away, she unlocked the buckle connected to the climbing rope on her body. Elliott was a little anxious. While jumping back, use the ability to directly attach to the rope and blow it off.

Cicero who stood up did not take any further action, but just stood there so firmly. Because it was too dark, people couldn't see Cicero's expression clearly, but they could vaguely hear him muttering something, and the voice was different. High, but filled with a vicious emotion.

In fact, although Cicero's eyes were open at this time, the pupils were no longer visible, but only the whites of the eyes. The facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, so that his expression was particularly distorted. It may not be a bad thing for people not to see.

"Cicero is about to become demonized. Any stimulation will further shorten the process. I suggest giving up." Kane said as he unlocked the lock and walked a few steps in order to reconfirm Cicero's condition.

"Shouldn't you try to save it?" Elliott who said this was obviously emotional, and his voice was a little sharp.

Kane frowned, he was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Elliott.

He thinks that Elliott, like Cicero, may have some unbearable past events and has reached the brink of collapse. Saying this now is not so much out of friendship as a teammate, but rather because he is worried that he will also be reduced to being punished if something goes wrong. The fate of giving up at will.

Oliver is also inclined to save, but it is not mainly out of moral considerations, but because he thinks that if he does not save, people's hearts will disperse immediately. For this reason, he took out his private goods, "I have alchemy potions to calm emotions and awaken rationality."

"Then what should we do? Knock Cicero down, or use spells?" Moody also came over and asked anxiously. Among the 7 people, he seemed the most sincere.

As for the pair of ghost girls, they didn't say a word, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly. No one knew what they were thinking.

In fact, Kane is most worried about the twins. He believes that the special life experience or extraordinary training methods have given the twins a psychological shadow that ordinary people cannot imagine. It can be said that their cognition itself is distorted, and they are more likely to be pulled into the abyss of demonization.

What is more interesting in reality is that the ghost girl has the meaning of becoming a doctor after a long illness. She has experienced too much darkness, and with the experience of resistance, she can better deal with the current situation. To put it simply, the crash point is low but the skill is high, and the magic value increases slowly.

Of course, it is still incomparable with Kane. In terms of ability to deal with this situation, Kane is well-deserved No. 1. Although it is also affected, the magic value increases very slowly and the upper limit is super high. There is a crooked big move, that is, before demonizing, try to use the power of madness to conclude a dark contract.

But if that's the case, even if he succeeds, his salary king will be activated along the way and undergo a fundamental change. It will no longer be a positive force that warms people's hearts, but a flame of destruction.

When Kane saw the situation, he realized that this fight would be impossible. It is difficult to persuade others, but the bigger problem now is that there is no time.

Demonization is a mutant version of blackening, very violent, like a bomb explosion.

So don't look at Cicero's appearance as a person, but in fact, the human side has been quickly abandoned by him.

In this case, the only way to save is to split the personality. With its cooperation, the human side is drawn out in the form of a remnant soul.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the possibility of doing this kind of operation at all now.

As for Oliver's alchemy potion, Kane had no hope at all.

Therefore, Kane did not speak out to dissuade Oliver from their rescue, but started a new round of operations on his own.

Walking through the difficult Howling corridors is a relief, but never an invigorating one.

Gobi desert, gravel wilderness, no trees at all, even thorns and plants are scattered, the sky is chaotic and cloudy, flowing and rolling, as fast as a galloping horse, but never exhausted, the sun can only reveal a short moment from the occasional gap, see On the ground, the light of the sun and the shadow of the cloud form the irregular vein-shaped light wave flow that is relatively easy to see on the sandy surface of the river bottom projected by the sun, creating a strange and alternative atmosphere together with the strong wind.

When any life faces such a landscape, it will inevitably feel that this is a forbidden place for life.

Then, under the dark clouds, at the end of their field of vision, the knights saw the eye of Karok Shash, which was still shining brightly even in daytime.

The reason why the Church of the Silver Flame is willing to send a knight order here is mainly for it. This is an irrefutable miracle, and the Holy Flame Fountain of the Silver Flame Cathedral pales in comparison.

Hilma Rahzan, a senior priest accompanying the team, confirmed: "It is indeed a silver flame, majestic and unparalleled, like the light of the sun. This is the characteristic of the eye of true sight for eleventh-level spells."

In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, mortal spells reach their peak at level 9, and legendary spells are at level 10. Of course, the most famous spell is the 12th-level spell Kasar, the great arcanist Kasar, who surpassed legends, used this to kill Fei The first goddess of magic in the Lun world.

The horses were whipped, the wheels were rolling, and the cavalry headed towards the direction called the Eye of the Holy Light by the Church of the Silver Flame.

Two days later, the Great Grim Fort gradually revealed its appearance on the gravel field.

Its majesty lies not only in itself, but also in the contrast of its surroundings.

If it is in the shadowy and steep rocky area with thousands of cliffs, it is nothing in terms of height and volume, but here is the wilderness, and the largest common gravel is no more than the height of a person, with a diameter of a few meters. Next, the Great Grim Fort looks super majestic.

"Where did the Creator get such a huge monolith?" Graveson couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that the creator has the skill of turning earth into stone. This kind of stone is different from rocks in the true sense. They are stronger than steel, and they can also absorb magic energy to a considerable extent, and further strengthen them. The longer the years, the stronger they become. "The accompanying investigation commissioner Gadot Elson of the Kelanbao Library said so.

The Koranberg Library is an organization, and investigators are unique professions in the Eberron world, and they are particularly good at solving mysterious events.

Investigators can be regarded as an advanced profession, and at the same time, there are specific professional scopes. Elson belongs to foreign affairs, has some characteristics of explorers, and is more capable than internal investigators.

Level 7 Rogue, Level 5 Ranger, and Level 4 Investigator, Gadot's total level is as high as 16, and he has already ranked among the first-class powerhouses of mortal creatures.

The Koranberg Library attaches great importance to the Creator Clan, so it did not hesitate to ask for a participation seat from the Church of the Silver Flame, and sent her to come.

Graveson and Hilma also hope to meet the Creator. Although they are both members of the church, their starting points are different. Graveson is military-oriented, while Hilma is religious-oriented.

The knights were welcomed by the Gashkara tribe, and the newly added sand lizard cavalry from the tribe welcomed them into the city.

Gashkara has always had the tradition of raising giant sand lizards for transportation, and the Haroon tribe also has this tradition, or in other words, most of the intelligent creatures living in the demon wasteland have this tradition.

It’s just that the conditions in the past did not allow it, and Gashkara mainly guarded the entrances and exits of the Mifeng Valley and patrolled the valley, unlike the Haroon tribe who lived a hunting and nomadic life, so the number of domestication was limited.

Now with the logistics system provided by Kane, raising sand lizards is a matter of course, so the paladins formed the tribe's first Sashko Knights with sand lizards as rides.

Paladins are good at using a variety of weapons and can make better use of armor. At the same time, most of them have received riding training. As church knights, they are still qualified.

The Silver Flame Knights also have to admit that their ground turtle brothers have perfected the entire system under the premise of guaranteed hardware, and their performance in all aspects is not much worse than them.

Of course, the Silver Flame Knights are still able to teach the Gashkara tribe, such as military knowledge, riding skills, joint strike skills, and combat skills. The skills used by the Gashkara tribe members are still too rough .

In the face of the same belief, the warriors of the Gashkara tribe can still accept the Silver Flame Knight, but they have always looked down upon each other, https://./11_11766/
