Chapter 19
Su Xingyuan barely restrained his restless hands, wanting to see what this sect was up to.
After all, in addition to fighting, exploration is also one of the fun things in the game.
Moreover, apart from the health bar, he did not see any other information about the "Shenwang".
This means that the opponent's concealment value is far higher than his reconnaissance skill.
No wonder he was able to develop so many followers in the urban area without being discovered by the Hunter Association’s investigation team and law enforcement officers.
His eyes fell on the other believers. They had no health bars, but he saw a light layer of purple magic on them.
It was obvious that they were all affected by the abilities of the hunter behind the scenes.
This is also one of the purposes of the Hunter Association. There are always some hunters whose abilities may have little effect on monsters, but they target ordinary people who have no resistance. Only stronger hunters can punish such people.
"Come forward and let me take a closer look at you."
"The Divine King" said.
Su Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and like every obedient follower, he stepped forward obediently.
Those black-robed followers made way for him to reach the platform like a school of fish.
However, when he was almost one-third of the way there, a foot stretched out silently and blocked his way without any warning.
When walking, I always pay attention to the ground under my feet: "..."
He glanced at the owner of the foot. She was dressed exactly like the other believers, with nothing extra. Only the long hair exposed under the hood indicated that she was a woman.
But most importantly, he didn't see any purple magic residue on her that was marked as such.
[Name: Qiao Zixin]
[Identity: Reporter of Mantianxing Daily]
【grade:? ? ? 】
[Status: Normal]
Seeing this panel, Su Xingyuan blinked in surprise.
It is not surprising that a reporter sneaked in here and conducted an undercover investigation in such an organization, but the level of these three question marks and the status displayed as normal are indeed somewhat special.
Could it be some special NPC with hidden attributes?
But now is not the time to ask questions.
Su Xingyuan silently declined her kindness, raised his foot with a heart of stone and stepped forward.
Qiao Zixin: “…”
She watched helplessly as the other party fell into the trap without knowing it, but she could do nothing. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her head. She could only clench her fingers and pray in her heart that the thing had no appetite today.
She really couldn't just watch someone get eaten. If all else failed, she could only pull the person away and try to escape. Anyway, the information and evidence she had collected were enough.
Su Xingyuan didn't know what the reporter was thinking. The closer he walked to the platform, the more he could smell an unpleasant smell of blood. It was different from the smell of animal blood. It was... human blood.
Because it is covered by the smell of animal blood on the followers, it appears normal and difficult to detect.
Step by step, he walked in front of the other party, and the "God King" slowly used a pole to pull open the curtain -
The moment he saw that face, Su Xingyuan felt a sudden sharp pain in his brain, just like when he forced himself to read "The Book of Wisdom of Carterfield", but this time it was different, as if something was trying to forcibly pull it out of his brain.
In-game pop-ups popped up at the same time, continuously sounding the alarm:
【warn! warn! The player is under mental attack! ! 】
[Resisting mental attack!] 】
[Intelligence declines!] 】
Intelligence: 21/22
——The so-called "God King" in front of him was a "hunter" with mouths and eyes all over his body, and his body swelled up like a balloon. His body filled the entire platform, and the bloody smell that Su Xingyuan smelled came from the human bones and flesh piled under its body.
At this moment, those eyes covering its skin were staring at him, and those mouths with sharp teeth were saying noisily and chaotically:
"…Why resist?"
"Give me mind, body and soul."
"My child, I will lead you to the eternal and trouble-free shore..."
The beads on the believers' bodies resonated with the words of the monsters, and the entire space suddenly became filthy. The dirty demonic energy was so thick that it could even be seen with the naked eye, spreading in every inch of the air here.
Su Xingyuan glanced back imperceptibly, and the reporter's condition was still [normal].
Looking back, he no longer paid attention to external things.
As if it didn't get what it wanted from him, the intensity of the mental attack continued to increase, and even the mouth closest to him began to open wider, as if it felt that the mental attack had no effect and wanted to try a physical attack.
Su Xingyuan used his backhand to minimize the pain.
Then he looked at his intelligence which was constantly dropping expressionlessly, suddenly chuckled and asked, "What you mean by having no worries is to turn people into fools?"
He drawled out his voice: "That's indeed a good idea, but to be honest, your act of pulling my brain out makes me feel a little disgusted."
As if by accident, he could still speak clearly and logically, and his eyes and mouth, which had been moving constantly, paused slightly.
By then it was too late to discover that something was wrong with the new believer.
Before he finished speaking, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in the black and red space, a sharp and bright silver light that seemed to cut through the darkness!
The short knife with a hint of green pierced into the huge head just inches away without any mercy!
[Name: The Divine King (Demonized)]
[HP: 285/300]
——It is indeed a demonized creature.
Only this kind of thing would look so deformed and disgusting, and he could vaguely sense that this demonized creature was of a higher level and more difficult to deal with than the previous librarian.
"careful!"
An anxious female voice suddenly came from behind.
Su Xingyuan glanced sideways slightly, drew out Ding Feng Bo, raised his right hand backhand, and blocked the dagger that was stabbing at him with incredible accuracy. At the same time, he shook it upwards, and the dagger flew out directly.
He raised his eyelids and looked around.
Those controlled believers seemed to be suddenly activated. They all screamed loudly, their limbs twisted into strange arcs, picked up the knife on the table next to them that seemed to be used for bloodletting, and began to rush frantically towards the platform where he was!
Su Xingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and kicked the fastest one out, bringing several believers to the ground with him.
There is no health bar, and even if it does, it will not reduce HP. They cannot kill him, but they can affect him. Who knows if this demonized creature will use their flesh and blood and spirit to replenish itself.
In a short period of time, there is no way to get rid of the main brain "King Tongshen" because of the mental confrontation just now. He can feel that at this moment, a layer of mental protection shell is attached around the body of the demonized creature.
[Intelligence: 18]
Intelligence also continues to decline steadily.
Su Xingyuan had no doubt that he would be declared dead after his intelligence became 0.
The disadvantage of having this kind of mental attribute linked to the mana bar is that he dare not use it casually. He even suspects that in the future he will use magic and become more and more crazy the more he uses it.
The black-haired boy sighed softly, pulled down the hood on his head that blocked his vision, then walked through the crowd that wanted to attack him and pulled the reporter aside.
Then, in the blink of an eye, a dividing line was drawn on the floor in front of her with the heavy sword.
"You stay here and don't move."
The black-haired boy curved his pair of bright green eyes like a venomous snake. The two symmetrical moles under his eyes made him look even more evil. He said briskly, "I'm going to cripple a few people. Be careful not to hurt anyone by mistake."
Qiao Zixin suddenly changed his position: "???"
No, wait a minute—
The words haven't been spoken yet.
The young man, who seemed to have a smile on his face just now, had completely cold eyes. Then, he retracted the knife in his hand, rushed forward, and broke the limbs of those controlled believers without any hesitation!
The black hair slightly blocked his eyes, and the green seemed like the eyes of a python patiently waiting to wrap around its prey to death, without any other unnecessary emotions.
——Since we can’t kill them, let’s just destroy them all.
“Crack.”
It was the sound of bones breaking.
These voices intertwined together, coupled with the calm face of the black-haired boy, it was hard to tell which one was more terrifying.
All this happened in just a few breaths.
Su Xingyuan kicked away the last believer who was blocking his way, leaving those who were unable to move to crawl on the ground. He raised his hand and brushed away the black hair that was scattered on his forehead due to the intense exercise. He exhaled as if relieved, and then smiled widely:
"Well, now there's nothing else in the way."
With a swish, he aimed the tip of his knife at the huge demonized creature on the platform. Perhaps because of the large number of bloodless trash, his patience had worn out, or because his sanity was constantly decreasing, he tilted his head slightly, and his smile seemed to have a hint of madness and neurosis, with the corners of his lips widening.
"Now, it's my turn."
