Pines and cypresses are solitary and upright, and it is difficult for them to be beautiful like peaches and plums.
Zhaozhao Yanziling, fishing in the waves.
The body has hidden away the guest stars, and the mind is at ease with the floating clouds.
Chang bowed to Wan Chengjun and returned to Fuchun Mountain.
The breeze spreads all over the world, making it unattainable.
It makes me sigh and dwell among the rocks.
——"The Twelve Ancient Styles: The Solitary Pine and Cypress" by Li Bai
Damn it! Another cognitive attack!
Orxiu roared in his heart.
In his eyes at this moment, everything in the world became extremely slow.
No, that's not right, it's not that the world is slowing down, it's that I'm getting faster.
As an evolver who masters the attribute of time, Orshu has a better perception of the speed of changes in things than anyone else. He can feel that the flow of time around him has not changed.
But everything became too slow in his eyes, and even his own movements became extremely slow, like a snail.
It's like: your brain is normal, can think, and can direct your body to act, but you find that it takes hundreds of times longer to raise your hand than usual.
Yes, it's not that you can't move, it's just that compared to your perception speed, your body and the movement speed of the outside world can't keep up.
Nothing has changed, only my thinking has been changed.
Generally speaking, it is a good thing to become more agile in your perception. This way, when an enemy attacks you, his actions appear to be in slow motion in your eyes, and you can easily avoid them.
But what if such agility is amplified thousands of times?
The original slow motion will become as if it has stopped.
What's even more terrifying is that this will also cause his own movements to stagnate, because his body can no longer keep up with its speed due to such agility.
But you did nothing but wait.
Since the time has not changed, all you can do is wait for the enemy to slowly punch until they get close to you, and then you slowly avoid them.
It's like adding a tens of thousands of times slowdown effect to a video in the editor.
In your mind, you may feel that this process has taken an hour, or it may have taken a year.
But in reality, the normal speed is only a few seconds.
If Jiutian was affected by this ability, he would probably know the principle of this ability in the shortest time.
Because the mental space is like this, his thinking speed in the mental space is 18 times that of the outside world. This value alone is already the limit that Jiutian can bear.
And Orsho's nervous reaction became extremely fast at this time, so fast that it was incomprehensible, and it had already exceeded 20,000 times.
One second in the outside world is 20,000 seconds to him, which is six hours.
So it is precisely because perception becomes too fast that Orshu sees the world too slowly.
It was so slow that he felt that ten minutes had passed at this moment, but his fingers only started to move less than a millimeter.
This is the last legacy left by Old Man Kusong to earth civilization, his last "word" - Sui Song.
An ability that can affect people's "reaction cognition".
In fact, Old Man Kusong has never successfully used this skill. The higher the level of "Yan", the greater the cost after using it.
Prior to this, the highest level of "Word" that Old Man Kusong had ever used was only twelve, and the thirteen-year-old Suisong was just a conceptual ability that he had conceived.
However, in such a situation, Old Man Kusong finally unleashed his last potential at the cost of his life, and this was the first time he successfully activated Suisong.
In reality, Orsho was once again stunned in place. Although his nerve perception became extremely sharp, his body reaction did not change at all. This completely mismatched sense caused his body to be unable to keep up with his thinking.
, and it immediately crashed on the spot.
if now
Between his claws is the old man withered pine who has lost his life. At this moment, withered pine has drooped his head, but there is still a relieved smile on his face.
My compatriots... seize this opportunity and run away!
The first person to react was Dongfang Yanie. While everyone was still shocked and saddened by the sudden death of old man Kusong, the black secret power suddenly broke out, and immediately enveloped Dongfang Yanie's body and fled quickly.
distance.
He escaped so fast that even Jiutian had no time to know which direction he was escaping to before he was already beyond the limit of the sensing range of his mental power.
"This old man!" Thirty-three also reacted after seeing the black arc light, and immediately spat.
Old Man Kusong was not afraid of death and used his own life to hold off the enemy for a moment, but you, Dongfang Yanie, ran faster than anyone else without even saying a word?
Those who didn’t know better thought you were the weakest here!
"Quick, run now, and think about it later!" Gu Haoran finally shouted to remind everyone, so Mikkelsen and others began to retreat with frustration and unwillingness.
When the Star Raiders saw humans starting to retreat, they immediately started to move.
However, when a Star Reaver looked back, he found Morulu huddled behind and motionless.
"Vice Captain." The Star Reaver asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to pursue him?"
Morulu glanced at him.
"Chasing? What should the captain do? Leave him alone?"
"Uh?" The Star Raider was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
So what if we stay where we are? Even if the captain is temporarily under the influence of the other party's skills, is there anyone on this earth who can hurt him? If there is someone who can really hurt him, wouldn't we just give him a head if we keep him?
But if Moruru doesn't come with them, these star predators with the highest white buds will never dare to catch up. After all, the opponent's Ivy is not dead yet. If they are unlucky, they will hit him.
Isn’t that asking for death?
So the Star Raider could only apologize and say: "Yes, yes, the vice-captain is wise, but we failed to consider it..."
Moruru nodded and said no more, but he was sneering in his heart at the moment:
Humph, you want me to step in while Orsho is temporarily restrained? There is no way!
He finally saw that each of these earthlings was more insidious than the last, and their methods were endless, such as weird talismans, antimatter, cognitive attacks... If any of these things fell on him, his life would be at stake today.
I have to explain it here.
Now Moruru has been completely frightened. Nothing is as important as his own life, so now Moruru doesn't want to do anything risky at all.
Everything will wait until Orsho recovers!
On the other side, humans also began an emergency evacuation. After seeing Dongfang Yanie fleeing, Amamiyagawa, who was still alive, also fled as fast as possible. Suddenly, the battlefield began to gradually become empty.
On the contrary, Jiutian and the others, who are relatively weak, are still where they are.
"Let's go." Jiutian appeared behind Zhuo Lei, "If you delay it any longer, it will be too late. Don't let Mr. Kusong's last efforts go in vain. I believe that among all the people present, the one he most hopes to survive is you."
After hearing this, Zhuo Lei's body trembled.
"I know." He said, "Let's go."
Zhuo Lei looked at the old man withered pine still hanging in Orr's claws from afar. At this moment, the other party could not act according to his own will, so he could not put down the old man withered pine body.
Zhuo Lei clenched his fists and trembled all over. He took one last deep look at the skinny figure, and finally turned and left.
Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, looked at Thirty-three and asked, "How is she?"
"She seems to be in a coma and can't move freely." Thirty-three held the pale Ran Kong in his arms. Ever since the anti-matter annihilation bomb was successfully launched, she had been feeling wrong until she just fainted completely.
"Let me take her with me. If you carry her on your back, it will affect your speed." Jiutian said.
"Is it okay to bring so many people?" Thirty-three was a little worried.
"It's okay, Feiya is here." Jiutian nodded.
"Okay, you do what you can." Thirty-three stopped insisting and gently put Ran Kong down, and Yuebai's mental power lifted her up in time.
Then Jiutian flew to Wenxin's side.
"Dr. Wen, Yunyun, please come with me later."
"Well, now we have nowhere to go." Wen Xin's brows were filled with exhaustion. The antimatter bomb she had worked so hard for so long failed to take effect. All her fellow scientists died, and her immediate boss, Old Man Kusong, also passed away. In just a short time,
What happened within a short period of time had a huge impact on him.
"Jiutian..." Wen Yunyun asked worriedly, "Did we fail?"
"No!" Jiutian replied firmly, "As long as one of us is still alive, we will not be defeated."
Although the answer was firm, everyone knew in their hearts that the moment the antimatter bomb failed to take effect, the earth's civilization was probably doomed.
"Be good, don't worry, we will protect you and Mr. Wen." Thirty-three touched her head.
"Let's go." A moon-white wave rolled up around Jiutian's body, and then gently wrapped around the two of them.
"Come this way." Gu Haoran and Mikkelsen greeted from the surface. One of them collected the bodies of all the dead earth evolvers, and the other went to gather the ordinary people who had been rescued before, as well as the unconscious ones.
Nissa and Yuna.
People who are still alive cannot be stored in the high-dimensional storage space of the Heritage Armguard, and can only be carried by Jiutian with his mental power.
Fortunately, the mental power of the white-bud-stage object-controlling evolver is enough to support him in carrying so many people without affecting his flight speed, not to mention that Feiya has been secretly transferring her mental power to him to provide support.
In an instant, a large number of people broke through the clouds and snow and fled from the Himalayas, leaving behind only a messy battlefield that had been turned into a small basin.
Both humans and the Star Raiders paid an unacceptable price in this tragic war.
Several white buds on the human side have died, and one of the two pillars of civilization, the old man withered pine, has died.
On the Star Reaver side, an Ivy-level Opp also died, and the Turbulent Leaf was severely damaged. Compared with the purpose of their trip, such losses are not unbearable.
However, in comparison, the strength of the Star Raiders should be better preserved. After all, Orshu and Morulu are still there, and the only remaining strength of Ivy League on the human side is Dongfang Yane.
.
It is foreseeable that if humanity cannot come up with a stronger trump card after struggling to survive, then the final winner will inevitably be the Star Reavers, and the final outcome of this war will be announced in the not-too-distant future.
