Chapter 491: Selection

Although the content that needed to be understood was relatively detailed, the number of monsters under investigation this time was not large, so I quickly got all the information and looked at it one by one.

Although some of the abilities of these demon kings are rather weird, these are actually only a small part of them. Most of the demon kings' abilities are actually quite orthodox. This is a normal thing in itself. After all, alternative means unpopular, and the number of unpopular ones is definitely very small. Otherwise, it would not be called unpopular but should be called mainstream.

Because this is only the fourteenth floor of the heavenly prison, there are also the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth floors of the heavenly prison where more powerful demon kings are imprisoned. Although there is no choice for the seventeenth floor for the time being, there is only one demon king on the sixteenth floor. I can choose, but I only have five spots, so even if I choose them all on the fifteenth floor, it won’t be enough. So, for the demon kings on the fourteenth floor, I actually had no intention of taking them out from the beginning, at least not this time. Therefore, although I have a lot of information in my hand, there are not many that really require my attention. At least those monsters with pure combat expertise that have no special abilities have no need to choose. Anyway, it's all about fighting strength. Instead of looking for it on the fourteenth floor, it would be more cost-effective to go to the fifteenth floor.

If these demon kings whose specialty is fighting are directly eliminated, there will really not be much information left. In addition to the straw boy who came over to recommend himself before, there are three others left.

These three demon kings are not as special as Cao Wa, they all look quite normal. One of them is an old man, who looks thin and looks a bit like an old farmer. If he were sitting on the side of the road wearing ordinary clothes, no one would think that he was a super monster who could control the wind and rain and turn the oceans upside down.

The other two demons also look similar to the demon king who looks like an old farmer. One is an old man who looks to be in his forties, and he looks like an honest man, but this guy is much bigger than the old man, and he looks like a migrant worker doing manual labor. The last one left is a female demon, which is a little bit more special than the previous two. Of course, she is special because she is very beautiful.

Monsters are not originally humanoid. This appearance is determined by oneself after one reaches a certain level of cultivation, and unlike the dragon transformation, which can only be transformed once in a lifetime, the human appearance of demons actually has no fixed form. However, in most cases, demons will choose one shape as their basic shape, and it will usually look like this if nothing else happens. The main reason for this habit is that transforming into a non-human form requires some fine-tuning of the transformation technique. If there is a fixed appearance, then you can practice the transformation of this shape regularly when transforming. Body skills. Over time, you will develop a habit, and not only will your transformation speed be faster. It will also be more stable. Therefore, although monsters generally do not change their appearance casually, their appearance is actually not fixed. Among them, the monsters who turn into men do not pay much attention to their appearance, so there are all kinds of things, usually based on the monster's race and personal habits. However, this female demon is different. Women all love to look beautiful, and so do succubi, so even if the initial look isn’t very good. Banshees will also continue to fine-tune their appearance, and this adjustment process usually makes them more and more beautiful. Therefore, unless the banshee reveals her true form, or she just wants to look ugly to scare people, you will almost never see an ugly banshee. Moreover, the beauty of this banshee is often directly proportional to the level of her magic power. .

This actually makes sense. Generally speaking, strength is accumulated over time. Therefore, the more powerful a monster is, the longer it may survive. Of course, there are exceptions here, but generally monsters that practice quickly must have better talents. This talented demon has a high understanding and understands beauty more thoroughly than those with dull qualifications, so the talented banshee must be more beautiful. And those with higher strength are more knowledgeable and have more precise control over the transformation technique, so they are naturally more beautiful. Therefore, the strength of a banshee is basically proportional to her appearance. If all the banshees in China were gathered together to hold a beauty contest, the top ten would definitely be the ten strongest banshees, although the order There may be some errors. But the difference will never be more than five nouns.

Although the banshee in front of her is also a beauty, she is just an ordinary beauty, so it can be concluded that her strength is not too outstanding. But this one's ability is a little bit special.

This banshee's ability is called "Spirit Resurrection", which is an auxiliary ability, and the main function of this ability is hypnosis. The game "Zero" itself has a sleep assistance system. Players can enter deep sleep within a few minutes when sleeping in the game, and the system can ensure that you will not dream before the set wake-up time, always ensuring that the human body In the most efficient sleep state. This function has always been a favorite of middle-aged and elderly people with insomnia. It is also very practical and considerate for office workers with high work pressure and students who need a good sleep. At the very least, the sleep time that originally required eight to ten hours can be completed in only four to six hours with the assistance of the system. This is equivalent to a lot of free time for nothing, whether it is studying, working or playing. This is so much. The time out is very useful. Therefore, this system has always been a particularly popular feature in "Zero".

The banshee's spiritual nourishment skill is just a special skill obtained by taking advantage of this system, but unlike the player's choice to sleep independently, the banshee's ability forces the player to directly enter sleep, and resistance to this skill must rely on the player It is done through your own willpower rather than game attributes. To put it bluntly, it is to see if you can resist falling asleep when you are particularly sleepy. Of course, this ability is the same for NPCs in the game. The NPC on the opposite side must use its own willpower attribute to resist this ability similar to hypnosis, and then it can ensure that it does not fall asleep. However, the reason why this ability is so powerful is that even if it cannot make you fall asleep completely, it can still have a great impact on the target person.

Think about what state you are in when you are particularly sleepy and you will understand the horror of this skill. In this state, people's reactions will become very slow, and their ability to sense dangerous situations will plummet. Even if the opponent slashes at you with a knife, you may not react at all. Moreover, it is difficult for people to concentrate when they are sleepy and they are prone to wandering off. This is why drivers who drive while fatigued often get into car accidents.

If the banshee activates this special skill during battle, the enemy's attributes will remain unchanged. But because of his slow reaction and lack of concentration, his combat effectiveness will naturally not improve under such circumstances. Moreover, if one's own willpower is not strong enough, there is even a possibility of falling asleep on the battlefield.

Originally, if this skill could only be used one-on-one, I wouldn't care too much. After all, no matter how awesome it is, it's a single-target skill. But the key point is that this skill is not unique. It's a range spell. According to the banshee herself, the radius of action of this skill is as high as five hundred miles. That's two hundred and fifty kilometers. A radius of two hundred and fifty kilometers is sufficient to cover the entire battlefield for most wars. The effects of such a large-scale skill can be imagined. If this banshee releases this skill on a large scale against the enemy in our battle formation during the battle, the combat effectiveness of the opponent's personnel will definitely be greatly reduced, and I am almost certain that there will definitely be many people in the opponent's battle formation directly sleep. After all, there are differences between people. There are people with strong willpower and people with weak willpower, so it is not surprising that some people are directly knocked down.

However, if this banshee's skills were just like this, of course I would just decide to let her go out with me. However, the key question is. This skill is an undifferentiated skill, that is to say, once the skill is activated, as long as it is within the scope of effect, except for herself, everyone on our side will not be spared, and everyone will be included. This kind of lethality is really terrible. so. After reading her entire skill description, I still plan to give up taking her out this time. After all, this ability is of little use for the time being.

In addition to the abilities of the banshee, the remaining two people are the two farmer-shaped demon kings.

Although the ability of the forty-year-old migrant worker to look like a demon king is unusual, it is not surprising. His ability is a skill called "Condensation", which has the effect of increasing the viscosity of the air. Anyone who has ever been in the water knows that the resistance encountered when walking in the water is very high. And this guy's ability is to turn the air into a viscous existence that is even more difficult to stir than water. Under this effect, it will become very difficult for everyone to move. However, this ability is also an uncontrollable skill like that of the Banshee. As long as the skill is activated, everyone who enters the scope of effect will encounter huge resistance, so this is basically a skill that brings bad luck to both the enemy and us.

Of course, that doesn't mean this skill is useless. At least this skill can be used to trick people if you are prepared. For example. Prepare a large group of heavy infantry, and then ask them all to throw away their armor, heavy shields, and weapons, and instead use daggers and wear cloth robes. In this case, with the physical strength of the heavy infantry, they will definitely feel that the whole person has become light and light, and the whole body is full of strength. At this time, let them ambush, wait for the enemy to enter the range, and activate the skills of the demon king, so all The enemy's speed will slow down to a snail's crawl, and although their heavy infantry are also affected by huge resistance, they are inherently powerful types, so they have the ability to continue moving, although their speed will decrease when resistance is large. , but in comparison, those who are worse than them are definitely those original speed players. Originally, he had always relied on his speed advantage to fight, but now he suddenly encountered such a big resistance and couldn't use his speed at all. After being approached by those devilish musclemen, the result can be imagined. However, this kind of plan requires arrangement, and it is of little use to us now, so I finally gave up on that guy.

In the end, the only one left was an old monster. This guy's abilities are also quite strange. His power is decay.

The old man demon king's rotten ability has a very wide range of effect. He has never tried it himself, but he knows that it is much wider than the abilities of the banshee and the migrant worker demon king combined. As long as the body of any creature within this range is injured, the wound will rot quickly. This kind of rot is not ordinary rot, but rots rapidly at a very terrifying speed that is visible to the naked eye. The most awesome thing about this ability is that healing and expulsion spells can only temporarily inhibit the effect, but cannot make it disappear.

If someone is injured within the scope of this skill, he must first apply a purification skill on the wound that can dispel negative effects, and then quickly use medicine or healing skills to heal the wound within the function time of this skill. , otherwise, once the purification skill time expires, the wound will immediately begin to rot again, and the speed will be faster than before purification. And if there is no one around you who knows purification skills, the results will be even worse. Even if it is just a needle prick at first, the small hole will expand into a small hole visible to the naked eye in a few seconds, and then in less than a minute you will find a piece of rotten flesh nearby that is as big as the mouth of a bowl. After that, the decay process will continue to expand along the edges around the wound, and eventually corrode your entire body. Moreover, even digging out the rotten area during this process is useless, because the new wounds will continue to rot, which will accelerate the rotten process. Apart from purification, there is no way to suppress this effect. but. Even if it can be suppressed, it is only temporary. As soon as the purification effect disappears, the rotten effect will immediately start to spread.

According to this skill introduction, this ability is equivalent to a ranged and enhanced version of wound deepening, and it is also the kind of ability that will never give up until it turns ordinary wounds into fatal wounds. However, this ability has the same characteristics as the previous two abilities, that is, it cannot identify friend or foe, and as soon as it is activated, the people on your side will be unlucky. However, this skill has an advantage, that is, it can be retracted and released freely. We can completely activate this skill during fire suppression to cause more casualties to the enemy, and once we enter a war of attrition in which both sides will die, we can turn off this skill. Moreover, if it is the kind of battle that is in a hurry, using this skill is also a good choice. After all, the result of this is that people on both sides will die quickly, so the battle will definitely end quickly. But the mortality rate of both parties will definitely increase significantly.

Although this skill is slightly more practical than the abilities of the previous two demon kings, after thinking about it, I still feel that its usefulness is not very obvious, so I finally rejected their request. Of course, there are so many demon kings here, and it’s not a problem for me to want none of them, and there is indeed a very awesome demon king here. That is, the grass kid who came to recommend himself before.

Cao Wa seems to be a very special existence among all the demon kings here. It seems that those demon kings are not often with him, and they seem to deliberately isolate him. I don't know what the situation is, but it's hard to ask directly, so I can only take Caowa out first, and I will talk about the specific situation later.

"Dear demon kings, I have read your information. The number of people I can choose this time is really too small. There are only five places in total, so I can only try to find some abilities that are more urgently needed. Among you The abilities in it are all pretty good, but after looking at them for a long time, I felt that they are not the abilities we urgently need now, so..."

"Don't be embarrassed. We also know that you are unlikely to take us all out this time. As long as you give us a hope, it will be fine. Anyway, in half a month, won't you be able to take people out again?" Someone over there The demon king said very understandingly.

People have said such things, so naturally I was enthusiastic and polite with them, and finally told them that I would take that grass child away. But what surprised me was the decision of the demon kings opposite me. Not only did she not show any jealousy, she even gave me a very warm welcome for choosing Cao Wa. This strange atmosphere made me a little confused for a moment, but it didn't feel like it was anything particularly important, so I didn't think much about it and continued to be polite with the monsters, and finally gave everyone a farewell. Went down to the gate of Tianlao.

Although these monsters often go out for walks on their own before, this time I want to take away this straw kid, and he may not come back again, so I still need to say hello to the two guards at the door. Fortunately, it was clearly written on the list given to them before, so I just reported it and got permission.

Finally leaving the fourteenth floor of the heavenly prison, I continued to the fifteenth floor of the heavenly prison accompanied by Taishang Laojun, while Cao Wa temporarily followed me. After all, hell is quite a big place. If we send him to Isengard first, we will be delayed in coming down again, so we can only wait for all five people to be selected before taking them all away at once.

"That... President Ziri?"

"Huh? What's the matter?" I glanced at Cao Wa next to me and said, "From now on, you will be a member of our Chaos and Order God Clan, so you don't have to be so different. You can just call me Ziri, or call me Guild President. It’s no problem.”

Cao Wa thought for a while and nodded: "Then I will call you President from now on."

"Okay. What did you just call me for?"

"I just want to remind you to be more careful when you go out with me in the future."

I was stunned for a moment when I suddenly heard such words, because it would only be normal if a very vicious person said such words. After all, it could be understood as a threat, but this idiot reminded me to be careful about himself in a kind tone. This is rather strange.

"Why do you want to remind me to be careful about myself?"

Caowa was obviously hesitant when he heard my question, but after hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind and said: "Because I often speak out loud, for example, occasionally I say something like "You will fall down today" Come."

Because I was walking and talking to Caowa while turning my head, I didn't look at the road in front of me. As a result, just after he said what he just said, I suddenly felt something stepped on the sole of my foot, and I suddenly felt that I was walking towards the road. He tilted forward, swooped, and fell flat on his back with a squeak.

For an expert like me, there is absolutely nothing to say about body balance. Moreover, I also made remedial actions at the moment of falling, but I moved my steps twice in a row, and the first time I stepped on something, it slipped. The second time after that, I kicked something and got stuck. As a result, when I used my hands to support the ground, it slipped again. As a result, the final result of consecutive mistakes was to directly fall to the ground.

Originally, it was nothing to fall, but just when I was about to stand up on the ground, I suddenly heard Caowa reminding me loudly: "Be careful of slipping." Following his reminder, I felt as if I had pressed something. , as a result, the hand slipped, and the body that had just been propped up fell to the ground again.

"Holy crap, have you seen a ghost today?" As I said this, I turned over to the side, then tightened my waist hard. I wanted to stand up like a carp, but suddenly I heard Cao Wa's reminder again.

"Be careful not to hit your head!"

Originally, I was trying to jump up with a carp kick, but when I pushed my feet, I slipped again. My body moved forward for no reason and then I started to jump upward. Unexpectedly, my head didn't know the short distance forward. Somehow it reached under a big rock, and this rock was very strange. The part on the ground was recessed, but the upper part stuck out a large piece. As soon as I slipped, it was as if my head was stuffed into the rock. In the gap below, when he raised his head again, there was a loud bang and he hit the protruding part of the rock. I was so stubborn. Although my eyes were filled with stars, I finally got up. The stone at the back was knocked off by my head.

"Huh, President, you're finally up. I was worried about you..." Cao Wa was about to say something, but before she could say anything, I jumped over and covered her mouth.

"I said you'd better stop talking, okay?"

I'm not a fool. The series of accidents just now are not normal at all. The only explanation is that there is external interference, and the only external force I can think of is Cao Wa's spiritual speaking skills.

It was obvious that this boy's ability was not just as simple as speaking and speaking. His ability obviously has side effects, and this side effect is called - Crow's Mouth.

Now I finally know why those demon kings had such expressions when I said I was leaving alone with Caowa. Now I finally figured it out. It turned out to be an expression of relief! This kid must have tricked a lot of people in the sky prison, and everyone suffered more than once. Although the side effect of crow's mouth won't kill you, it can definitely make you depressed to death. I asked why they were not jealous at all about such a good opportunity to be released from prison. Together with me, I got rid of the most deadly plague god on their side. Even if they don't come out for a while, their life will be much easier. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
