Chapter 10 Self-Hypnosis
"It's just a small thing for communication. It will activate when he dies." "Nonsense..." "Then you actually let it activate? What a complete idiot, authentic... How should I say? Naturally stupid? Hmm,
Although your brain doesn’t have any sulci, it does have a lot of strange words.” “You’re naturally stupid, your sister! You’re the only one who’s naturally stupid, and your whole family is so stupid!”
Not having time to pay attention to the damn stone's teasing, Edward pulled back, groaning secretly in his heart.
He really didn't expect that the other party would have such troublesome things - the history of the development of magic in this world is too long. After experiencing several ups and downs, the changes have been extremely weird. I don't know when there will be something that makes people unable to understand.
The appearance of imaginary creations may be innovations or some kind of ancient secrets. In short, they are all kinds of and extremely difficult to figure out. But in the barren land of Xifengyi, these things have no chance of appearing. Even if he is interested in this aspect
, but after all, I haven’t really studied it, and my knowledge is limited.
But what we need to worry about more now is that this narrow path has some twists and turns, but both ends are not far from where the other party settled. However, there are no doorways on the two stone walls, and it doesn't seem to be easy to climb.
When the hunter approached the alley, a group of people happened to have formed a small formation there.
For the sake of public security, most cities in this world usually do not welcome mercenaries. Although they will not drive them away, they are prohibited from carrying long weapons in the city unless they have special permission. Crossbows and other weapons are more lethal.
s things.
However, the contradiction between laws and enforcement seems to be common in all intelligent biological societies - strict searches and bans will only appear in more civilized and noble areas, that is, in urban areas where nobles gather. This kind of
In civilian areas, if someone secretly collects it without being discovered, no one will care about this small violation.
So now, this little prohibition has brought considerable trouble to hunters.
The five people on the opposite side each wore simple leather armor, but in addition to melee weapons such as long swords and warhammers, they also had three crossbows. Although they were just simple small items, the three-sided arrow pointing at Edward had a metal
The bright blue color is obviously the result of quenching the poison.
Hunters can only carefully slow down.
"Calm down, idiot." The voice of the Spirit Crystal Servant sounded in the hunter's heart, and its body slipped from Edward's shoulder and fell into his left hand that was not holding the sword: "Calm down your consciousness, concentrate, and let go of everything.
Material restrains your thinking. Don't focus on those appearances, they all do not exist and are false. Only its core is what truly exists and is composed of will."
"but……"
"Do as I say! Concentrate your energy, you can change things, reverse reality, and reshape time and space. Everything will move according to your intention," for a moment, the sharp voice of the Psychic Crystal Servant fell silent.
Down, calm, gloomy, and hard, like its creator, it carries the kind of power that seems to make people's hearts tremble.
The communication between the psychics and the spiritual crystal servants is not known to outsiders, but the mercenaries facing them are still going about their own business.
"Stand where you are and raise your hands above your head! Otherwise, the crossbow arrows won't have eyes!"
The gray shadow slowly walking out of the alley made the leader of the mercenaries hesitate slightly - the power of the magic item made him know that an accomplice died deep in the alley.
But the magic could not tell him the specific situation and the identity of the perpetrator at the same time. But the figure who was slowly walking out seemed to be walking easily... and did not look like a perpetrator.
Just a passerby?
"He...hell, it's that damn kid!" A sharp voice interrupted the hesitation, and the female leader of the mercenaries came from behind. Her eyesight seemed to be quite good, and she was able to identify the shroud in an instant.
The face in the shadow of the hood suddenly screamed.
Following the shout, three arrows left the string one after another! They buzzed and pointed directly at the chest of the short figure in the gray robe - the poisoned arrows do not need to be accurate, as long as they hit, the poison can exert maximum damage
, the crossbow-wielding mercenary was also a veteran at this art, and even when he was nervous, he did not choose the wrong target.
However, the buzzing of the crossbows has not yet ended, and everyone’s pupils tightened at the same time!
The man didn't panic. He waved his right hand and silently swung his long sword upward. With a soft clang, he deflected the flying arrow!
The second and third crossbow bolts were also in vain - the mercenaries had basically the same idea in their haste, and since the trajectory had already been seen through, the threat was naturally lost - the long sword stained with blood
, and cut them off one by one without moving much.
And that person is still moving forward slowly.
The calm and calm pace seemed to treat everyone in front of them as puppets. The mercenaries couldn't help but hold their breath. They couldn't help but think of what they had seen and heard in their memories, and they had been living with death for a long time.
The strong men who dance, that kind of arrogance from the bottom of their hearts, that kind of contempt for human life...
Fear spreads outward like a mist, and hangs in everyone's heart like a lead weight.
The origin of fear is the unknown...the unknown of the enemy, the unknown of the enemy's power, the unknown of one's own future, and the unknown of death.
The unknown becomes the known in the next moment.
One sleeve of the gray burqa was lifted up, revealing the slender fingers inside. Suddenly, there was a subtle sound in the air, shaking everyone's eardrums chaotically - along with this sound, a dim yellow-green sound came from there.
It burst out from the fingers, extended in the air, and touched the face of the mercenary who was most elegantly dressed.
The ear-piercing howl immediately drowned out most of the surrounding sounds, including the tooth-aching and bone-aching hissing sound when his face melted.
"Mage!"
The howl made everyone tremble in their hearts, but it also awakened their consciousness immersed in fear, so the three people immediately threw away their crossbows and rushed from the left and right, even disrupting the original surrounding formation - although this would cause some
Passive, but a mage is terrifying. Even if he is just a mage apprentice, his spells are equally deadly.
Fortunately, he has already issued a spell - the gap between the caster and the second spell is enough for the warriors to find an opportunity to easily reverse the situation, so they must rush forward without hesitation! This is common sense that even rookies know...
However, the difference between common sense and truth is that the former is only a high probability, not an absolute. In combat, even a one-in-a-million possible error is enough to cause fatal problems.
Yes, absolutely fatal.
The three mercenaries cooperated quite well. They did not attack at the same time. However, the order of the sword, battle ax and mace created a clever time difference. No matter who the enemy attacked or in which direction they dodge, they would be injured by at least one weapon.
It's impossible for one person's speed and strength to be fast enough to parry the three of them.
But their opponent didn't intend to parry. He just nodded his finger seemingly casually.
The terrible luster flashed out again with the subtle noise, and this time, it was a dazzling blue-purple color. The lightning that struck the person's face spread to the brain, not only making the face black instantly, but the terrible stimulation was enough to make a person numb and become
The best obstacle. On the other side, the blade of the long sword cut his throat with just one stroke.
The hammer, which was unable to recover enough, hit the companion's shoulder. The powerful and heavy blow broke the bones, causing blood and flesh to splatter, but it also allowed the user to use all his strength on it. So the long sword was just thrown away, and
It pierced the leather armor and penetrated his heart, killing him before he fell to the ground.
The last guy who rushed forward saw the distorted and trembling air in front of him.
A bunch of concentrated sounds hit him, and the terrifying roar made him almost unable to think about anything. He was already dizzy.
The small battlefield became quiet in an instant.
A mage who can cast spells at will without gestures or words?
The mercenaries finally realized what kind of opponent they had encountered... Oh, no, it seems that there is no way to call them mercenaries at this moment - there were six people who were originally lively and vigorous, and now four of them are on the ground.
, died or waited for death, leaving only a dumbfounded and overwhelmed woman. There was also a guy who hesitated, then roared and rushed forward.
"Leya, run!" He roared, but what he was waving in his hand was not a sword, but a few balls - the moment he was hit by a bolt of lightning, these things had exploded into a large billowing smoke,
Completely cover him and the enemy.
…
"Strong ability."
Gently swinging the tip of the sword, watching the blood falling on the ground in strings, Edward slowly exhaled and whispered to himself.
The continuous activation of spiritual energy caused waves of throbbing pain in his brain, and exhaustion flooded his mind like a tide. However, the newly revealed combat power made his spirit inexplicably excited.
Just a moment ago, in his eyes, whether it was a crossbow arrow or a sword, his eyes seemed to have become slow. No, it seemed that even his own breathing, movements, and the whole world had become slow. Only his thoughts remained the same.
As usual, even if the poisoned arrow flew toward his chest, his state of mind did not fluctuate at all, and he was as calm as a piece of ice.
"Remember carefully, this is the basis of the psychic's ability. Through extremely precise control of the brain, one can obtain the most powerful display of his power. This method is called self-hypnosis... Damn it, you really need to change.
Your way of thinking, no matter what your abilities, are all connected with that crude sword. For a psychic, this is simply stupid to the extreme!"
"Ability is a means. No matter how you use it, as long as it can achieve the goal." The hunter frowned: "I am not as good as you in psychic ability, but you are not as good as me in killing people..."
"Hell, what you used when you killed was my stored spiritual energy points!" The silence disappeared in an instant, and the voice of the spiritual crystal servant became sharp again: "Also, you clearly have a chance to kill that female, why?
No move? That will only make her escape and make your enemies wary!"
"There are only about fifty of them. Oh, there are less than thirty left now. Do you think even if they are vigilant, what can they do if they have other targets? Then allocate more people to hunt me down.
? Only when someone describes my power to them can their morale be severely damaged. People who are afraid will inevitably make mistakes. What do you, a spar head, know?"
"Oh, really? In that case, letting go of the stunned guy can achieve the same effect, right? A bisexual animal with low intelligence, your body temperature has risen? It is at least one-thirty-sixth of what it was just now.
, maybe twenty-four? Your heartbeat is racing, your breathing is rapid, your capillaries are dilated, and you're still sweating... To be honest, you actually still want to have sex with that female..., don't you?
"
"Come on, sir! I'm tired!"
