Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 22: Spiritual Illusion, Fall into the Trap
In fact, ever since Sun Can used the skill of summoning the Geocentric Guardian for the first time, Shen Jin felt that the other world was somewhat strange. This world full of fire reminded him of the Hell (Netherworld) plane in the game Minecraft. It was a world without water, with inextinguishable flames burning on the ground and terrifying monsters roaming around.
Because Sun Can's summoning space channel would be closed soon, he had never thought of going inside to take a look. Today, with Hu Shou's help, he finally figured it out. That place... is probably the hell plane of the game. Sun Can not only summoned the flame creatures inside, but his flame ability buff also came from the power inside. That strange inextinguishable flame looks just like hell. "Strange... why is Sun Can's ability related to the hell plane? Shouldn't the content of the game "Minecraft" be my system ability? Sun Can's ability should be taken from the game called "New World"?"
"Are these two games connected in some way? I don't know about it? That's not right... He said it was an RPG + lord game similar to an online game, where everyone can summon a partner. So... our abilities actually overlap?"
Shen Jin began to brainstorm in his mind. He always felt that he seemed to have grasped something that seemed to be related to the truth of their system.
But he couldn't tell the specific point. After thinking for a moment, Shen Jin stopped hesitating. He decided to make a hell portal this time, build a stable passage, and then enter that world to explore.
Although Hu Shou had encountered danger just now, apart from the huge creature that attacked him mentally in the air, there was no other creature that could threaten him.
And that creature, if Shen Jin guessed correctly, was called - Evil Spirit, which was also a very powerful creature in the game. It had been floating above hell. It had excellent eyesight and could spot people from a distance, thus launching long-range attacks.
"Since this is the most powerful creature Hu Shou has ever seen, and its strength is probably at the fourth level, but it will not come down to contact humans and will only launch mental attacks in the air, then there is no need to worry too much..."
As for whether the creatures from Hell will enter the portal and invade the Earth after the portal is built, Shen Jin feels that they are now capable of dealing with it. Ordinary monsters really cannot defeat the third-level transcendents like those in Home No. 1.
If he was afraid of uncontrollable things happening before, now that Hu Shou has explored and roughly knows the strength of the creatures in hell, there is no need to worry so much.
The key point is... Shen Jin feels that he and Sun Can need to go to the hell plane, as there may be something hidden there.
"Perhaps... the Hell Plane is not another world. It might be deep underground beneath our feet. It is just another ecological environment of the Earth!"
High temperature and magma are consistent with the characteristics of the underground world.
When Sun Can's ability is activated, flames always rise from the ground, which is a bit like the underworld.
"Wait! If this is really the underground world of the Earth, then... could it be related to the ancient extraordinary beings? But... if it is the underground world, then why did the [space locator] fail after Commander Hu entered? Was it out of distance? Or was it a magnetic field problem?"
Shen Jin couldn't explain it, nor could he figure it out. He needed to go to hell himself to find out.
Shen Jin glanced at Sun Can, who was also in deep thought, "Maybe he is also thinking about the source of his system's power?"
After clarifying the situation here, Hu Shou said: "Although I only went to that world for a short period of time, but... I feel that the environment is not suitable for zombies to survive. After all, zombies are afraid of fire. It is unlikely to be the hometown of zombies, so... the zombie tyrant must have another origin!"
"Queshi!"
Several people agreed with Hu Shou's opinion. Shen Jin suppressed all the speculations in his mind and said, "In this case, let's go. Let's find a way to get a zombie tyrant and dissect it!"
"Walk!"
Under the cover of the Taoist priest's flags, everyone followed again.
While tracking, they discussed tactics. Just when everyone was in trouble, a thin boy from the super team stood up and said, "Boss, I may have a way to lure the zombie tyrant out of the zombie tide..."
"oh?"
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the 8 million zombies stopped advancing and began to rest. This time, the Zombie Tyrant did not lead them to travel overnight. Even it could not make the zombies generate energy out of thin air. If too much energy was consumed in the wild, it would affect the zombies' combat effectiveness. They would not be able to move normally during the day and would need to absorb sunlight for a long time to replenish their energy.
There are so many zombies and no living creatures outside. They don’t eat food or Guanyin soil. They have no energy intake and can only rely on the energy stored in the crystal cores to regain vitality during the day.
Seeing the zombie tide stop, Shen Jin and the others in the back breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately the zombies are not rushing on the road, otherwise our plan would not be implemented!"
"Okay, now that we've stopped, let's get to work!"
Everyone in the Corpse Killing Team got moving and secretly began to build in the dark...
Shen Jin and the others were observing the zombie tyrant in the zombie tide from afar. It was holding a living eagle in its hand and struggling. The zombie tyrant showed a cruel smile on its face and took a bite, crunch!
After the eagle's head entered its stomach, its struggling body suddenly softened. Then, it began to eat the unfortunate eagle alive. The eagle just passed through the air when it was discovered by the Zombie Tyrant, who attacked it directly from the sky and shot it down.
This is its dinner tonight.
The other zombies were drooling wildly at the smell of fresh blood. They hadn't eaten for a long time...
One of the huge L3 zombies bravely walked up to the Zombie Tyrant, shrank to the size of a normal human, knelt down, and stretched out a hand as if begging for food. The Zombie Tyrant waved his hand defiantly, directly opening its hand, and then made a gurgling sound from his mouth, looking very angry.
The L3 zombie didn't get any food and was slapped in the face, so he left in disappointment.
Shen Jin was amazed. "This zombie tyrant eats all the food himself. He won't even give his generals a bite to eat. If it were in ancient times... he would have rebelled long ago! At least he would have mutinied. Do zombies have levels?"
Hu Shou took over the conversation, "Logically speaking, all animals are divided into different levels. A creature like the Zombie Tyrant can speak and must be intelligent, so it should look down on these ordinary zombies who only act on the instincts of the zombie virus!"
Sun Can said with emotion: "It would be nice if I could understand what the Zombie Tyrant said. Didn't he just say, 'You bastard, you want to eat my food too? Go eat shit!'"
Shen Jin's heart moved. Didn't he still have a [Translation Potion]?
Last time, I used this thing to translate the content of the video of the ancient ruins, which proved its effectiveness. "I don't know if it will be useful for zombies? If I can translate what they say, maybe I can understand some things!"
However, logically speaking... the ancient supernatural beings and the zombies don't speak the same language, right?
Shen Jin suddenly asked, "Commander Hu, how about we record the Zombie Tyrant's lip movements and send them to the Dragnet headquarters so that the language experts can study what it means?"
Hu Shou shook his head. "There are already language experts studying it, but it seems that the mouth shape is different from any known language, and the pronunciation is also very strange. We can't translate it at the moment!"
"Well then...if our plan succeeds, try to keep it alive. Who knows, I might be able to try to translate its language!"
The props produced by the system should be more magical, right?
"Well, no matter what, catching a living person is definitely more valuable than a dead one!"
The people in the research institute are eager for Hu Shou to get a zombie tyrant back so that they can slice it up and study it!
It can be seen with the naked eye that the Zombie Tyrant is different from any other zombie on Earth, and it is very likely that they are also different in genes.
As time passed, an hour later, the members of the Corpse Killing Team came back, and Yang Ao said, "Brother Jin, the arrangements are ready!"
Shen Jin glanced at everyone and said, "Then let's have a battle with the Zombie Tyrant!"
They are ready to freeze their hands!
"action!"
Sun Li gave orders to several people in the super team. Seven of them held the fiery red carrot supernatural fruits in their hands and stuffed them directly into their mouths, and their supernatural powers surged!
In an instant, it has expanded to the peak of the third level, second only to Shen Jin's level, and their power fluctuations have a similarity, mental power!
They held hands and exerted their full strength. Everyone felt dizzy and nauseous, as if they were about to vomit. Then, a thin young man walked out of the super team. Shen Jin said, "Copycat, it's up to you!"
In the air, seven psychics exerted their full power and the space became dreamlike, making people feel like they were between reality and dreams, with a sense of unreality.
The imitator also ate a carrot, a supernatural food, and pushed his hands forward. A mirror made of black mist appeared. He penetrated the black mirror himself, and when he came out again, his body had changed into the appearance of a zombie tyrant!
A head wrapped in red silk and black crystal keratinized skin.
Not only do they look alike, but their aura is also exactly the same!
Everyone even felt the pressure from the fourth-level zombie. "Wow... is this an imitator? Using a peak third-level zombie to imitate a fourth-level zombie?"
Not only Shen Jin was shocked, Hu Shoumi also narrowed his eyes but did not find any flaws. It was as if there was a fourth-level zombie tyrant standing there. If he had not just witnessed the transformation of the imitator with his own eyes, he would probably have taken action.
Shen Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead, imitator!"
The imitator, Zombie Tyrant nodded and strode out. The other seven psychics were suspended in the air, continuously stimulating their powers and following behind the imitator. This operation had to be assisted by them, otherwise... the imitator would most likely be exposed.
The Taoist priest sat on a giant black box in front, with 12 formation flags inserted around the box. Waves of energy were flowing, and the God-Hidden Formation was in effect!
If the Taoist priest had not given them permission, they would not have been able to see the giant black box right before their eyes.
This box is a cage prepared for the zombie tyrant.
Shen Jin, Sun Can, Hu Shou, Yang Ao and many other captains are ready to go, ready to respond to emergencies at any time. This mission is very dangerous. If the imitator takes a wrong step, he will face a direct attack from the zombie tyrant. If he is really discovered, the quantum armor on his body may save his life. At this time, everyone needs to take action to save him...
The imitator walked over step by step, and the zombie tyrant that had eaten the big eagle indeed discovered him. A hint of surprise first flashed across its face, and then it showed a look of surprise, and ran over with a big grin, while the 8 million zombies around it did not move at all, they were still resting.
The zombie tyrant was as fast as lightning. He jumped in front of the imitator in a few steps and said, "Jili Gulu——"
Impersonator: "I'm here to trick you into getting into that big black box!"
The Zombie Tyrant showed joy on his face: "Jili wow wow wow——"
Imitator: "Come with me, stupid!"
The Zombie Tyrant nodded in agreement. The imitator turned and walked towards the black box. The Zombie Tyrant behind him followed, mumbling something as he walked. The imitator responded with all kinds of sarcasm and classic Chinese quintessence. The Zombie Tyrant turned a deaf ear to it and followed the imitator all the way, gradually moving away from the zombie tide. When it reached the edge of the zombie tide, it stopped, as if it remembered something. The imitator's heart skipped a beat. Shen Jin and the others also tensed up and clenched their weapons, "Prepare... rescue!"
The Zombie Tyrant glanced up into the sky, and suddenly swung out a red thread. A mournful cry was heard in the sky, "Ah~!"
An eagle was shot down, and the Zombie Tyrant took it in his hand, then handed it to the imitator with a generous look, indicating that he could enjoy it at will. The imitator took it without hesitation, and just imitated the Zombie Tyrant, biting off the struggling eagle's head and chewing it with big mouthfuls. Bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, looking particularly hideous. The Zombie Tyrant laughed strangely and continued to move forward with the imitator. The supernatural powers of the seven psychics in the air followed the two of them closely, shrouding the Zombie Tyrant and the imitator in an environment between reality and nothingness. In the Zombie Tyrant's mind, no matter what the imitator just answered, he would automatically think that it was the same as what he imagined, and it had been talking to him!
It can't hear anything the imitator says!
The seven psychic superpowers joined forces to lay a mental cage that the zombie tyrant did not discover, and the imitator took it step by step towards the physical cage...
Closer, closer...
The Taoist priest opened a gap in the Divine Concealment Formation, and the light on his whisk flickered, connecting with the twelve formation flags around it. The Zombie Tyrant walked unconsciously into the black box prepared for it by everyone.
Shen Jin and the others showed joy on their faces, "Everyone, take your positions, and prepare... to fight!"
Everyone stood in position on the huge black box building. The 5,200 members of the Corpse Squad each held a special fruit in their hands. "Team One, Fusion Technique: Gold Element!"
After the Zombie Tyrant entered the black box, the Imitator slipped away directly through the secret passage specially left for him. The Zombie Tyrant still didn't notice anything and talked to the air by himself, as if it was a companion...
After he ran away, the seven psychics breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the hands they were holding, and became listless in an instant, and the illusion ended.
The scenery in front of the Zombie Tyrant suddenly changed!
It's pitch black!
In the darkness, a golden light descended from the sky, and a man holding a golden sword floated in the air, "Human, Hu Shou, please teach me!"
