Chapter 640 Learning from barbarians to control barbarians
When Duanmuhuai took off his helmet, the illithid was ecstatic. According to its thinking, if the armor on the other party has the ability to be immune to mind control, then there is absolutely no way to take the other party by yourself. But right now, this guy might feel that he is not a threat, so he 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 on the illithid's mouth suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Duanmu Huai's neck!
Success!
At this moment, the illithid was almost overjoyed. If the spiritual impact of the illithid 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 set of armor or some talisman has the function of immunity to mind control, It is also impossible to work on illithids.
However, at the moment when the illithid concentrated its attention and was about to completely capture the opponent's will, Duanmuhuai had already taken off his helmet, revealing his face.
"————!"
When the illithid saw Duanmuhuai's face under the light of the fire, its mind was 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 spirit sucker was most proud of was broken at this moment, and then it saw the scariest and most terrifying monster it had ever seen in its life, and smiled at itself.
"Got you."
The next moment, the mental power of the roar directly smashed the spiritual barrier of the illithid, and entered the depths of its soul.
"Woo———————————!"
The illithid's eyes almost popped out, its body trembled violently, like a mechanical toy out of control, while Duanmuhuai closed his eyes, slowly searching the brain of the illithid.
Duanmuhuai naturally knew creatures like illithids very well. Of course, he also guessed that the other party might attack when he took off his helmet. But in fact, Duanmuhuai also needs the guidance of the spirit sucker, because only in this way can he learn how to manipulate the mental power to attack from the spirit sucker.
Yes, the Old Ones and Outer Gods have 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 nature.
Although it doesn't sound good to say this, in fact, the Outer Gods and the Old Gods don't care about the Milky Way at all, and they don't care about human beings. In their eyes, the Milky Way is no different from an ant nest, and the human beings in it are slightly equal to microorganisms. level. Just as most people don't care about the ecological environment of ants and parasites in an ant nest, the Outer Gods and the Old Ones don't care about these trivial things either.
As for those who had mental breakdowns because they faced the Old Ones and the Outer Gods, it was more because they had inadvertently noticed the existence of each other—it was like an ant crawling out of an ant hole and seeing a person's feet The shock that came when it suddenly landed in front of him from the sky.
But it is obvious that the person's foot is not aimed at the ants, and he may not even know that there is an ant nest at his feet.
On the contrary, the ant was so scared that he broke down and went crazy after going back.
As for those so-called "cultists summoning the outer gods to destroy the world", it is completely the fantasy of the cultists themselves. The reason for this result is that these cultists contacted the outer gods through some channels, and then caused Attention from outsiders.
It’s like a person walking on the side of the road, and then suddenly heard a voice calling his name from an ant hole, hey, isn’t this very interesting? Then I'll take a look at the ant nest—then the ant nest must be finished.
So the advent of the Outer Gods will destroy the world, but that basically has nothing to do with the Outer Gods. It’s simply that the Outer Gods are too powerful. Even if they just lean in here, it is enough to completely explode the entire planet.
Maybe when the planet explodes in situ, the summoned Outer God floats in the universe together with the fragments of the planet in a dazed expression——I clearly heard someone calling me, where are people? ?
Therefore, apart from a few Lezi gods, the other outer gods basically don't care about such trivial matters. What kind of human beings, what earth, what galaxy, are simply not within their scope of concern.
Because of this, the spiritual pollution of these outer gods is more like a halo debuff similar to Duanmuhuai's fear aura, whoever touches it will die.
So from this point of view, spiritual pollution is not a spiritual technique, but a very unpretentious one—strength crushing.
Therefore, if Duanmu Huai wants to actively manipulate the mental power to attack, he needs to learn the skills of mind attack, and it happens that the illithid is a master in this field-when it puts its tentacles on Duanmu Huai, it looks like an original Isolated castles put down bridges, connecting the battlefields on both sides.
For Duanmu Huai, this is much simpler.
Just rush over there.
The spiritual barrier of the illithid was almost incapable of Duanmuhuai's violent spiritual impact, and the mighty power of the old god's will turned into a torrent, directly breaking through its protection. Although Duanmu Huai's [Old God's Will] is only level one, weaker divine powers are still divine powers, and illithids no matter how strong they are, are mere mortal things, unable to resist the power of gods at all.
Soon, Duanmuhuai's mental strength was like a group of berserk soldiers breaking through the city wall, penetrating into the spiritual world of the illithid, and began to kill and set fire, and rob treasure. He brutally opened the treasure house of the illithid's memory, All valuable things are taken away in one go. This kind of mental pain that tears everything apart is far more unbearable for illithids than physical pain. Finally...
"————!"
A shrill psychic scream erupted from the illithid's body, and the next moment its limp, slippery octopus head exploded with a "bang", blood splattered everywhere, and the corpse trembled even more, and then There was no more response.
"Hmm...it seems a bit too hard."
Looking at the body of the headless 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. Mistake.
After all, I am still a child.
Even so, Duanmuhuai still got some useful information, such as the location of the illithid city - this is the most important thing for Duanmuhuai, after all, he knows exactly what he wants to do.
In every illithid city, there will be a guy named "Master Brain", which is a giant brain formed by the fusion of brain tissues of dead illithids. The role of the main brain in the city is like a huge server host, responsible for contacting each illithid, giving 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 main brain is a giant brain, not to mention legs, it doesn't even have hands, and it can't even run away.
Compared to extracting the memory of ordinary illithids, Duanmuhuai might as well go directly to the server host, wouldn't it be better to take the other party directly?
And each mastermind stores a large number of illithid memories, isn't this a bigger treasure trove?
"Okay, Augis, Jiawei."
Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the two of them.
"We have fun!"
While speaking, Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers - the next moment a teleportation portal opened in front of him, this is also one of the abilities of the illithid, and after absorbing the memory of the illithid, Duanmu Huai naturally also Learned how to use this power.
"Walk!"
Duanmu Huai walked into the portal with a wave of his hand, and the next moment, he appeared in a city square.
There are huge stalagmites everywhere, and the steps and caves above are the rooms of illithids. In the square, besides the robed illithids, there are many creatures of other races—such as drow There are elves, gray dwarves, goblins, half-orcs and so on. If you see it for the first time, you will think that this is a melting pot of races living in harmony.
But in fact, these creatures are all slaves of the spirit suckers. For the spirit suckers, all creatures other than the spirit suckers are their slaves and prey. Although they sometimes form alliances with the drow, But they have no objection to playing with a drow as their slave.
The appearance of Duanmuhuai attracted the attention of many illithids, but they did not take any further actions. On the contrary, most of the illithids believed that Duanmuhuai was probably the prey that a certain illithid had just captured—so Soon, silent spiritual messages began to spread around the square, and the illithids began to communicate with each other about how much this slave could sell at the auction house.
But Duanmu Huai certainly wouldn't let them judge him like this.
He looked around coldly, then snorted coldly.
"snort---!"
The violent roar turned into a thunderous bang at this moment, reverberating throughout the square, causing all the illithids to shake and become confused for a while. However, this is not the end. At the same time, a breath of fear began to spread, like an excavator hitting and digging the spiritual barrier of the illithids. They began to hug their heads and let out a terrified scream. Then convulsed and fell to the ground.
As experts in mind control, illithids certainly understand that they are being attacked mentally, but they never thought that there would be some kind of existence that could break through the spiritual barrier of illithids—indeed, illithids are weak Their physical bodies make them impossible to kill, but generally speaking, damage to spirit suckers is basically physical damage, and it is almost impossible for any existence to confront them in the spiritual realm.
But now... Duanmuhuai appeared.
The waves of the old god's will rushed into the brain of the illithid like a flood that broke the embankment. The crazy, twisted, and indescribable terrifying power poured into it along the gap opened by the fearful aura, swallowing, distorting, and polluting it wantonly. Everything you come into contact with.
At this moment, the illithids were already in extreme pain. They fell to the ground with their heads in their hands and rolled desperately, with no energy left to care about other things. And as the illithids were attacked, slaves of other races in the square also stopped their movements at this moment, losing the control of the illithids, their ego gradually recovered, and soon, some of them shook their heads , their eyes gradually became clear, and then they looked angrily at the illithid lying on the ground, roared angrily, picked up their weapons and struck towards the illithid.
That may be their master, but it doesn't matter, the anger and shame of being manipulated are completely erupted at this moment, and the body of the illithid itself is not very resistant to blows, even a gray dwarf holding an iron rod is enough to give him a blow. It does enough damage to hit it to death.
Soon, the square began to become extremely chaotic, and the illithids polluted by the will of the old gods had almost no resistance. The out-of-control slaves either took advantage of this opportunity to escape, or roared to find the illithids for revenge. hatred.
"That's all, weak alien."
Looking at the chaotic scene, Duanmu Huai shook his head, then he turned around.
"Okay, let's go, the goal is still ahead."
