Chapter 679 Returning with a Full Harvest (6000)

Subspace demons are essentially a kind of phase life. The scientific name of the big taxonomy is "Void Spirit". It is a strange life that mainly appears in the virtual world, but is also distributed in the material world.

According to the information given by the shimmering cradle and the silver chip, the subspace demon is just a well-known branch of its outline, just like the cockroach in the insect class. Although there are countless types of insects, as long as we talk about pests and annoying When it comes to insects, most people will immediately think of cockroaches.

Warp demons are the most notorious of the void spirits.

The vast majority of demons have no entity, and exist in the void and the subspace in the form of a psionic spirit and thinking aggregate. Because it prefers to live in a chaotic environment that is on the verge of collapse, it is more common in the subspace. Hence the name.

The demons born from the abyss of the virtual world were only extremely weak insects at first, but if they were parasitized by them, the parasitized life forms would be completely corroded and corrupted from soul to body.

In the end, a complete demon will hatch from the body of the completely collapsed host. At that time, the demon will have intelligence that is normal or even higher than that of the parasite. If the body is intact, it will also have a body.

According to the data, there was even a case where an entire race was hatched by demons in the universe.

At that time, as soon as the life of this civilization is born, it will become the cultivating embryo of the devil, and the original wisdom and talent will become the accumulation of the devil, creating a huge devil empire.

This demon empire also launched expeditions to many other civilized countries, eroding their societies, capturing their heroes, corrupting them, and turning them into their own forces.

This is the devil, a kind of extremely evil virtual parasite.

Even a silver chip with a 'edible/inedible' label, which has always been mild, gave the warp demon a 'requires guardianship and treatment' evaluation.

Even the brain devouring swarms don't have this kind of treatment!
Theoretically speaking, the Void Mech God is also a type of Void Spirit, but because it is more orderly, it is completely different from the devil in essence.

Even, the reason why the machine gods bred by the pre-epoch civilization virtual environment program like the "final deleter" wanders in the virtual environment where the major human gathering places are located, and performs "purification work" may be to eradicate similar " The possibility of the birth of subspace evil things like demons.

If I have to say, one is the virtual world vaccine and the other is the virtual world virus.

Mecha-gods may seem terrifying, but they are actually the unknown guardians of human civilization. This is probably the reason why many countries adopt a "cautious observation" attitude towards Mecha-gods of the Void Realm without conducting excessive research.

——When a program that should be BUG is running effectively, it is best not to mess with its code.

As for Xio's poison...

Apparently, the King of the Mountain had a bloody battle with the devil in an unknown area, and the corrosive poison of the devil even affected the unborn child, so Xio was born as a monstrosaurus.

Fortunately, the King of the Mountain dealt with it in time, otherwise, the King of the Mountain might not have given birth to Xiou, but a real demon dragon.

In that case, things will be difficult.

"It seems that the demon who fought against the King of the Mountain back then was also a very high-ranking demon. I don't know where it is, but there is a fourth-level demon..."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Ian felt quite emotional in his heart: "This place in Terra is full of strange things. I do vaguely remember that there were records of demons in books like Prayer to the Abyss, but I thought it was just some kind of fiction. The unique name of the monster in the realm."

"I didn't expect it to be a large group of Void Realm creatures?"

Ian intends to go back and look up the relevant information. There must be information about demons in the books related to the Void Realm.

Maybe Adbert knew a little bit.

As for now... Ian still doesn't know if the existence of demons is a secret in Terra. Xiou hasn't been cured yet, and the King of the Mountain probably doesn't have the heart to tell Ian about his injury and poisoning.

His emotional intelligence is not low, and he won't keep asking about past mistakes at such a critical moment.

and……

Ian didn't know why, but suddenly thought of Huaiguang Church.

The rebirth and death of the priests who created the Huaiguang Church... If you strip off all the sacred cloaks, in terms of essence, it feels a bit like the process of demons eroding life and creating a new life.

It's just the final result. What is created is not the incarnation of pure chaos and evil, but the complete opposite, an 'angel' full of good intentions.

Moreover, Huaiguang only selects people who are dying, and will not forcibly convert a normal living person to become a priest.

——Is it a technology related to demons?

Or is it like this for all the technologies related to psionic energy in the virtual world, and death or near death must be used as an opportunity for reversal and determination?
Ian didn't know whether the information he knew was taboo, so he didn't dare to ask rashly.

Knowing too much is one of the prophetic afflictions.

Xiou still needs to continue to purify for a week or two before he can return to normal. The next recovery depends on the real dragon's physique.

In general, it is meaningless for Ian to stay in the holy mountain. Anyway, with the king of the mountain, the real dragon, watching over him, Xiou's safety will not be a problem.

If it doesn't work, Ian can also remotely control the Shimmer Cradle.

After bidding farewell to the King of the Mountain, Elder Manya and Anfa, Ian returned to Avod alone, preparing to return to Xiahui.

This trip to the Dragon Worship Cult was perfect. After drinking away the envoy of the Dragon Worship Cult from Feiyan, and found a new fragment of the spaceship that fell from the sky, Ian proved his identity as the envoy of the Dragon God, and helped his side liberate the fighting power.

According to the King of the Mountain himself, if he hadn't been distracted to take care of Xiou, even if the King of the Steel Winged Dragon could use the power of the Flame Land to stand in a stalemate with him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be evenly divided like before—he is a real dragon, and he is definitely better than the other. The sub-dragon like the steel pterosaur is stronger.

And Xiou doesn't say much, as long as he can have the strength of the peak of the second energy level, he will definitely not drag the king of the mountain.

At that time, the king of the mountain, who has regained his full strength, can lead the Fangshan people of the empire headed by the Afud tribe to launch a counterattack.

At this moment, Qingchao also returned from the feast celebrated by the mountain people.

The sea-born swordsman obviously drank a lot of wine, even if he was not drunk as a sublimated person, the smell of alcohol could not dissipate from his body.

Especially in the other party's arms is still holding a stack of mountain people's special wheat cakes. He is eliminating these carbohydrates with such efficiency in one and a half bites, and he looks quite comfortable.

"How about it?"

Ian didn't care at all, but nodded with a smile: "How many did you find?"

"Eight, boss."

Swallowing the wheat cake in his mouth, Qing Chao smiled and made an 'eight' sign.

He is a professional mercenary, and his professionalism is not that bad. He eats by himself when his lord goes to work—the reason why Qing Chao attended the mountain people's banquet was because of Ian's instructions.

He was looking for spies that might be lurking in Avod's department based on the 'characteristics' given by Ian.

Of course, eat something good by the way.

Qing Chao walked around the banquet, drank a barrel of wine, and ate half the table food, and found quite a few spies.

It sounds miraculous, but in fact, Ian just remembered the breath left by the flying flame envoy of the Dragon Cult, 'Mu Ren', while fighting.

The boy is characterized by this aura, and asked Qing Chao to find the Avod mountain people that the other party had contacted in private, and he would naturally find some spies developed by Mi Ren in Avod's department.

Of course, it might not be a spy either, but simply left a mark of spying...but the result is the same.

"Leaving this list can be regarded as a thank you to Elder Manya. Even if we don't catch all of them, with so many people, it will definitely wake up the elders and conduct a screening."

Ian thought so, and he praised: "You did a good job, Qing Chao, the efficiency is so high!"

"of course."

Qing Chao is quite proud of this: "Essentially, this is the same as swordsmanship. A person's daily behavior has its own rhythm and rhythm. Once it is messed up, the whole person's taste will become weird, just like a person who is good at swordsmanship. It's like the person with the fast sword in the left hand suddenly starts sweeping with the heavy sword, the rhythm and rhythm are completely chaotic."

"As long as I screen people with this strange smell, I can quickly find people related to the smell you mentioned, boss!"

——Swordsmanship experience?

Ian expressed doubts about this, but since Qing Chao said so, let's just believe him...

"correct."

Speaking of this, Ian had an idea in his mind. He signaled Qing Chao to approach. Although the swordsman of sea origin was a little confused, he still leaned over.

Then, Ian raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead.

"what?"

Qing Chao didn't understand what Ian was doing for a while, but soon, he heard Ian's voice: "How is it, can you hear me?" 】

Qingchao raised his head and looked at Ian, but found that his lord was only smiling, but didn't speak: [It seems that he can hear.Yes, this psychic skill is indeed worth analyzing]

"This is?!"

To say that Qing Chao didn’t understand would be to underestimate him. As an elite mercenary who can be employed by Platinum Workshop for a long time, he quickly understood that this is a kind of spiritual power that can communicate with the soul: [However, Boss, I remember that your psionic ability is not an observation system...]

In fact, with Qingchao's personality, he wouldn't ask such a question—what exactly is Ian's spiritual power, and why does he need to know?
Unless Ian took the initiative to tell him, otherwise, Qing Chao would not guess a word, let alone ask.

He just doesn't understand internal affairs, and he doesn't know anything about politics, but when it comes to IQ and personality, Qing Chao has always been good.

But the psionic network turns that thought into communication.

【Just a little trick】

Ian also knows that Qingchao doesn't intend to ask, he is currently experimenting with the supporting technology 'Bug Swarm Mind Network' obtained from the parallel world swarm, and found that this technology is really good.

The psychic network of the worm nest is not psionic energy, but a special psychic organ. The physical entities are diffusers and receivers, which can increase the contact range of the network. Ian speculates that there must be someone in the worm swarm responsible for transmitting signals. The 'base station Zerg' is responsible for maintaining the command and remote control of the swarm masters to other swarms.

Ian simulated its structure with his own psychic energy, and then blessed Qing Chao's body, so that Qing Chao could also have the ability of the spiritual network for a short time, allowing Ian to talk to Qing Chao's mind, and even briefly see what Qing Chao could see. thing.

However, this kind of spiritual structure is very primitive, and there is not much information to be transmitted... Especially the transmission of mood and thinking must be very close.

This is very close, not even hundreds of meters close.

Ian instructed Qingchao to stand 20 meters away, and found that the transmission of the signal was somewhat distorted. The information transmitted from Qingchao's perspective was almost 700 degrees of myopia, and he couldn't see clearly at all, and the sound was all noise.

This is certainly the reason why there is no physical entity to strengthen the signal, but it is really too bad.

Ian understood that this psychic network is completely dedicated to the swarms - bugs, as long as the general order is passed on and the general information is passed on, it can be used as big data.

Simply put, it is the 'compound eyes' of the mind.

Even if a single bug transmits very little information, as long as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of individual bugs transmit information, the swarm master can clearly see the whole picture of the field no matter what.

Moreover, bugs don't have any complicated moods or thinking, so it's good to be simple, easy to maintain, and it's not easy to make mistakes when ordering feedback.

"No wonder, in a world that obviously has psychic powers, the empire is still developing information systems."

Thinking of the standard armor of patrolling knights, Ian couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Until the problem of receiving and sending psychic signals is solved, electronic signals are more practical. At least it's easier to repair."

Having said that, Ian believes that the empire is also very clear that compared to the psionic network that can truly communicate with each other, the electronic signal network is only a temporary substitute.

When technology advances, the spiritual network will definitely replace the electronic network.

Just like just now, Qingchao's most real thoughts emerged... This is certainly not a good thing for individuals, but if it is on the battlefield and other places that require real cooperation in a real sense, this kind of common thinking definitely has its advantages.

As long as they cooperate well, it is enough to reach the point where one plus one plus one is far greater than three in a small team.

Ian also thought of his younger brother 'Elan'.

Although Elan has not fully awakened his psychic power now, part of his ability displayed by his psychic potential is to sense the mood and state of "individuals" such as Ian who care about him.

Although it was only one-sided, Ian didn't even know when Elan would communicate...

But if this kind of psychic power can be paired with the spiritual network...

Perhaps, an evolution can be ushered in?
But that's all for later.

Shaking his head slightly, his thoughts turned back to reality, Ian disconnected his spiritual network, and asked Qing Chao how he felt: "How is it?"

"feel a little scared."

The swordsman thought for a while and replied solemnly: "At that moment just now, I thought I didn't have any secrets—although I have nothing to hide from you, but everyone understands that sometimes, there is a flash in my mind. Some not-so-good thought fragments... No one wants to let people know about this kind of stuff."

When he said this, Qing Chao felt lingering fear.

Obviously, everyone has to have a little secret for healthy relationships.

You have to know everything, and if you don't know, you can't make decisions. That's not a good leader, it's sick.

"This is definitely something that needs to be corrected."

Ian nodded slightly, thinking in his heart: "This is probably the reason why it is difficult to develop a psychological network... After all, people are independent and have their own inviolable thoughts, so they form intelligent life... and the hive The gestalt existence of the insect swarm, which is composed of the mind network as the main body, is quite different."

"Therefore, the mental filtering and selection inside the mental network, as well as things like the mental firewall, have to be thought out in advance for technical reserves."

This is actually the reason why Ian came out with Qingchao - there are many times when Ian wants to experiment with new things, but he alone is not enough, he has to find another companion.

When I was in the imperial capital, half of the subjects of this experiment were Isengarde and the other half were Hua Dark Frost Butterfly, and they were all happy to help Ian.

Back to Nanling, it was Scott, Qing Chao and others.

After leaving the list of spies, Ian bid farewell to Elder Manya who had returned from the holy mountain.

"You said, you are going to raid the Midra Autonomous Region... Well, it is a good idea. When we fight the rebellious mountain people in the Frodo Autonomous Region, you will directly raid the rear."

Elder Manya had guessed Ian's thoughts for a long time, but he still had some doubts: "The defense of the Kemidra Autonomous Region is very strict, and Kod Jiamu is a smart man, and he values ​​his lair far more than other chiefs. As long as you As soon as news of the troop deployment spreads, they will go on the defensive."

"The Jiamubu and the Midra Autonomous Region, which were armed by Feiyandi, are absolutely impenetrable for us. Even the regular army from Nauman City will have to suffer when marching in the mountains."

"Yes."

Ian is also very aware of this, so he has already prepared: "So I will not lead the army to make a surprise attack."

The white-haired boy smiled and said his plan to appease the hearts of his allies: "I will lead a few elite troops into the interior of the Midra Autonomous Region. The alchemy workshop caused huge damage—by the time they reacted, it was already too late."

"Before that, the rebel mountain people will never know my plan. Their spies will only know that I will carry out a bandit suppression in winter, and wipe out all the defeated troops, robbers and bandits in the surrounding mountains, and lay a solid foundation for the coming year. Prepare for spring plowing."

"It's impossible for them to doubt the news."

"Yeah." Elder Man Ya nodded slightly: "What do I need to do?"

Ian's plan is so perfect, the reason why I mentioned it with him instead of acting alone, there must be something that needs his help.

"Attracting more rebellious Mountaineer forces to Frodo Dominion."

This is Ian's real purpose: "Elder Manya, next I will provide you with a batch of 'magnetic storm armor' as military support, and I need you to publicize this matter with great fanfare. At the same time, it also makes other people think that this is how I support Dragon Worship and you."

"at the same time."

Speaking of this, Ian's expression became serious: "Elder, you want the enemy to capture a 'Magnetic Storm Armor'."

"It's best to let the people of Flameland take them captive, but if that doesn't work, so will the others. Don't be too deliberate, let them believe that this is the spoils of war they worked so hard to get."

"……I understand."

Elder Manya understood, he already knew Ian's intentions.

There must be related positioning devices in those magnetic storm armors, which can help Ian find the base of Feiyandi in the Baisen Mountains.

At that time, the empire will definitely dispatch elite troops to cooperate with the king of the mountain to destroy it in one fell swoop!
Although there must be related shielding technology on Feiyandi, but Ian is so confident, why doesn't he believe it?

Anyway, up to now, even if Ian told Elder Manya that he would be able to advance to the third energy level immediately, he would believe it [-]%.

At this moment, the old man smiled, but he was still a little puzzled: "But isn't the magnetic storm armor your unique technology? Just let it go to the other party..."

"That's 'special.' Don't let cronies drive."

Ian shook his head. Although he would not take the magnetic storm technology too seriously, how could it be possible for him to give it to the other party for no reason?

Elder Manya is old and mature, he fully understands what the phrase 'special' means, so he stroked his beard with a smile: "I understand. Don't worry, I will let those 'people' and suspicious people on the list Those guys went to drive."

"At that point, they don't even need to fight, they'll send the Storm Armor over there."

"That would be the best." Ian laughed - no need to fight, so there will be no revealing, and the spoils sent by the spies will definitely be directly used for research.

Exactly what he wanted most.

After discussing the cooperation in the war, Ian asked some important news.

For example, where did Elder Manya get the 'potion ingredients' for the third level?

——Is it a serious purchase, or is it left over from the ancestors?
If it is a purchase, where is there a channel that is not concerned by the empire?

If it was left over from the ancestors...do the mountain people have any third-level potion materials left?

Even if it is expensive, Ian can buy it with money when the Xiahui collar is on the right track.

"It is the true dragon channel of the king of the mountain."

Elder Manya didn't ask why at all, he told Ian the answer directly: "This is also the reason why I joined the Dragon Worship Cult - one more identity means one more path, although there are a lot of troubles and troubles, but in general Said that the identity of worshiping the Dragon Sect has brought me a lot of benefits."

"After Xiou is cured, the King of the Mountain will definitely take the initiative to search for the third-level potion ingredients for you...Of course, if it is a potion ingredient, it is also fine. Generally speaking, you don't have to worry about the King of the Mountain. problems in this regard."

"The real dragon is rich." Elder Man Ya said meaningfully.

"Then I'm relieved." Ian also smiled softly.

Although I feel a little soft, but considering that the king of the mountain can also be a majestic father, Ian doesn't care whether it is soft or hugging his thigh.

——And, is it the channel of the real dragon?
"In that case, the rare and precious material...maybe not so difficult to obtain."

With a mind like a good harvest, Ian and Qing Chao embarked on the journey back to Xiahui.

The conversation was divided into two parts, Ian was happy, but the Feiyan spies in Nanling suffered.
