Devouring Evolution Begins with Hedgehogs

Because the mirage's individual strength was too weak, Liu Ergou only obtained a mere [-] blood points from the mirage, which was less than a fraction of his current one.

However, because Liu Ergou devoured the mirage beast and was stimulated by the moon of the Kuroshio, his illusion ability was greatly strengthened.

And this kind of strengthened power has a lot of residues in the mirage beast, and it is precisely because of this that after the system devours the mirage beast, it has generated an ability that Liu Ergou is somewhat unexpected.

It's called: Parallax Illusion.

"The so-called parallax illusion means that different illusions can be generated correspondingly according to the differences of each observer." Al began to explain this ability to Liu Ergou in detail.

With Al's explanation, the power of the parallax illusion is gradually revealed.

Unlike the mirage's illusion, the parallax illusion cast by Liu Ergou will not make the subject fall into a state where they cannot perceive the surrounding environment.On the contrary, it also slightly amplifies its perception of the surrounding environment.

But in this process, due to the enhancement of perception ability, the amount of information received by the subject is slightly different from the original reception level.

And Liu Ergou's parallax illusion can invade and control these "difference" information flows, and then use the subject's own perception as a medium to construct an illusion that belongs to this unlucky guy himself.

In layman's terms, it's like Liu Ergou drew a ghost and then pasted it on the recipient's retina.

During this process, the subject's perception of the surrounding environment will not be affected in any way.It's just that there will be an extra ghost in his field of vision that doesn't actually exist.

This ghost is Liu Ergou's "parallax illusion".

There is no doubt that this is an extremely powerful skill once used properly!
Just imagine, if Hoffman and Liu Ergou were to have a life-and-death duel, and at the very moment, a Buffix suddenly came out from the side and slashed at Hoffman with his claws!What will be the consequences?
Of course, Hoffman must allocate part of his forces to defend against this "Buffix", and this will give Liu Ergou an opportunity to change the direction of the battle!
But in the same way, in the same way as Liu Ergou's method of breaking the illusion, if the "information" is insufficient, the illusion that is greatly deviated from the subject's cognition is simulated, for example, the simulated Bufix Suddenly a fireball came out?
Or simulating a Buffix who comes and goes like the wind is beyond the processing capacity of Liu Ergou's brain, making the movement of this phantom look obviously strange?

This sense of cognitive dissonance will make the subject quickly notice the abnormality implanted in their own perception, and then see through the illusion.

In addition, Al also reminded Liu Ergou.Since his "parallax illusion" did not manipulate the subject's perception.

Then there is also no way to achieve the purpose of causing damage by allowing the subject to simulate the feeling of injury like the mirage beast.

In other words, it's just an illusion.No matter how good the acting is, it is nothing more than a mirror image after all.

But sometimes, even a mirror image is enough to make some people linger and forget about it.

The only thing that makes Liu Ergou a little regretful is that due to the great stimulation of the Kuroshio Moon, the mirage was close to madness before it died.No complete "knowledge" was extracted from the body of this mirage beast.

The extraction and analysis of "knowledge" is a small skill that Liu Ergou evolved by himself with the help of the system from the "blood detection" given by Kuglis.

Bloodlines are inherited and naturally have memories.For some powerful and long-standing bloodlines, the knowledge, strength, and even combat experience accumulated over a long period of time will be deposited in this bloodline.

And when a newborn with enough talent awakens this bloodline, then all the things accumulated in it will be reproduced one by one in this newborn to varying degrees.

To give an example: the talented people in the Maimans mammoth clan can already use decent warfare to trample even as soon as they are born.What is lacking is only physical strength.

For example, the spirit body that Liu Ergou encountered Kuglis twice is actually the knowledge contained in that drop of dragon blood (dragon marrow), which is powerful enough to form an independent spirit body.

And even the weakest bloodline will record the individual's knowledge to a very vague degree.

However, this record is not enough to pass on to the next generation, and when the individual dies, this record will soon dissipate.

It's just that the "knowledge" of this mirage is broken like a handful of gravel.

Presumably because of the excessive madness before death, the mirage beast didn't know what happened to itself until it died.

No matter when and where, as long as Liu Ergou needs it, the system can immediately transfer him the current map within a certain range.Wind power, temperature, magical environment, and even the altitude that can be accurate to the decimal point.

But for the Sunset Mountain Range, if there is an Olo flying above Liu Ergou at this moment, he can only see the cascading ridges and the continuous canopy of trees.But what lies beneath it is unknown.

For Liu Ergou now, the problem is exactly the same.Only relying on the topographic map provided by the system, all Liu Ergou can get is his own position.

In the deep sunset mountains, location is the least valuable thing.

Because it could be lost at any time, and because besides being lost, there are all kinds of more sinister disasters waiting for them.

After clapping his hands vigorously, Liu Ergou said to everyone: "Everyone, hurry up and rest, we will continue to set off tomorrow!"

Then he divided the work to everyone: "Elanster! You can allocate half of the manpower to form four reconnaissance teams and one patrol team! Each team must have one Olo, two Mais, and Winston to assist them. A gargoyle!"

"From tomorrow onwards, the reconnaissance team will fan out to the front of the team to explore, and the patrol team will surround the team with the center of the circle to guard! The rest of the people stay in the team and carry luggage and supplies!"

"Hoffman! Burt! You take the bear bears of your own clan, and protect Avril and Erlanster!"

After arranging the work, Liu Ergou said to the old gargoyle again: "Winston, you can stay with me! I still have many things to ask you about the Sunset Mountains."

After thinking for a while, Liu Ergou called Eranster again, and told him: "Just send out three scouts in turn every day, and the remaining one will stay at night to take over the patrol team. You can arrange it later. Let the shift begin to be vigilant at night."

As planned, in the morning of the next day, the teams that had been assigned the task set off according to their respective instructions.

But after only half a day passed, the scouting team in front had to withdraw to their own team.

The reason is simple, if this continues, they will lose contact with the team!

Sitting next to a huge tree stump, Liu Ergou and Eranster looked at each other after listening to the report, and they both clearly saw the gloomy expression in each other's eyes.

Different from ordinary mountains, the majesty of Sunset Mountains is like a dragon compared to lizards, there is a completely incomparable gap.

And this gap is reflected in the Sunset Mountain Range, which means that unless it is sunset time, the sun in the east of the Mountain Range will not be able to leave even a ray of light in the densely-covered mountain forest due to the blocking of the Mountain Range itself. .

In this case, the field of view of the scouting party who is away from the team will be considerably hindered.

And if it is impossible to grasp the location of the team, it is only a matter of time before the scout team gets lost in the mountains.

Moreover, since the team is mainly dominated by the Oro Owl and the Mys Rat, these two races are used to being nocturnal, and various bodily functions will be greatly reduced during the day, not to mention night vision.

And if it is changed to a night march?Regardless of whether Liu Ergou, who is used to going out at night and sleeping at night, can bear it or not, the dense fog in the mountains at night will also bring great obstacles to the night march.

After thinking about it, the only time suitable for marching is only a few hours from sunset to sunset every day.

Even so, in the absence of effective means of communication, the reconnaissance team still cannot be too far away from the team.Otherwise, once something happens, it will be difficult to send even a message back.

"Speaking of which, how do you Myce Rat Clan and Olo Owl Clan usually communicate with each other?" Liu Ergou asked Eranster.

"Communication? We're free, so why ask them to communicate?" Eranster was no longer surprised by the "lack of common sense" of the priest, and just shrugged.

"Don't say that the settlements of our two clans are hundreds of kilometers apart. If it's not something urgent, we won't communicate at all."

Eranster took a sip of water and said again: "Even if we could, we wouldn't take the initiative to communicate with them."

"Think about it, the main source of food for the group of Olos is the long-tailed brown rats in the wasteland, and they are somewhat related to our Mys rat people.

Although Olo won't take the initiative to attack us Mais, but when we meet each other, he will inevitably salivate. "

"So, why do we go to them when we have nothing to do? Is it good to talk about ourselves? Bufix and I have a personal relationship, and it doesn't mean that our two races are getting closer."

"Then how do you and Olo communicate with each other at a distance?" Liu Ergou asked again.

"By yelling, and occasionally by running over to deliver a message." Unsurprisingly, Ernest gave a rather primitive answer.

The captain of the reconnaissance team was named Brent, who was Budley's cousin.At this moment, he also stood aside, and added to Liu Ergou: "When we Olo hunt at night, we can communicate long distances by singing, but..."

Speaking of this, Brent also looked embarrassed.Raised one wing, pointed to the woods, and said to Liu Ergou: "But the woods are too dense! Usually in the sky, a single song can travel far, so communication is naturally not a problem."
But now in the woods, even if I broke my throat, it was hard to hear clearly from the other side.Even if you hear clearly, what you say is not allowed. "

"I testify that what the captain said is true!" Brent's deputy, the captain of another scouting team, also complained with aggrieved expression.

"In the morning, the captain and I kept each other safe, and I yelled 'everything is fine!'"

As a result, the captain heard "A stupid bird!" ', he gave me a kick when he came back, and now his butt still hurts! "

Although it is not a wonderful story for the deputy's butt, it is effective in relieving the tense atmosphere.

In fact it is.Compared with races with relatively advanced technological levels such as humans, dwarves, and elves, orcs rely on unique racial characteristics and embarked on another development path.

Even though the level of technology and industry is very backward, relying on powerful and unique racial abilities, the orcs still established their own system.

For example, in the Beastman Empire, as long as there is a decent-sized town, there must be one or a few Foxes with awakened abilities stationed in it.

The main function of these foxes is to use their unique telepathic ability to transmit and exchange information with other towns.

For this reason, the status of such a Foxy fox with special abilities is not even much lower than that of the ruler of the town.

On the battlefield, in addition to methods such as flags and beacons, the orc army will also carry specially bred Snell snails that grow very fast.

If two of these snails are placed in two identical, specially adjusted magic circles, then the words engraved with magic power on one shell will be exactly the same on the other shell show up.

From ancient times to the present, this cultivation method has been a secret of the orc empire and will not be passed on to the outside world.

In addition to these, some generals with special bloodlines can even cause their own spiritual fluctuations to resonate with the soldiers of the entire army, and command the overall situation by themselves!

It is precisely because of these unique abilities that the orc empire can maintain its current peaceful position in a relatively backward situation.

If we only blindly depended on various natural moats, then the orc empire would have ceased to exist long ago.

But, for the current Liu Ergou, in this unshitty northern wilderness, whether it is the Foxy fox or the Snell snail, it is completely unheard of.

As for himself?At present, he has not obtained any special spiritual abilities.

In desperation, Liu Ergou can only equip each reconnaissance team with one more Olo, which will be used full-time as a messenger.But in this way, the team's strength is extremely weak; moreover, the number of fighters who need to rest every day has also increased significantly.

Speaking of which, if he could master some means of long-distance communication, then Ernst would not have waited so long for the support of Liu Ergou and Bufix.

Not only that, Liu Ergou has always had the idea of ​​building his own Beiyuan City in his heart; and all the efforts he is making now are also striving for this goal.

However, effective governance cannot be maintained without effective means of communication.And when it's not properly managed.
In this northern wilderness with strong folk customs, Liu Ergou's Beiyuan City may become a slum in Beiyuan in a few days!

The means of communication, this matter, is now in the first order on Liu Ergou's plan.
