Under the dim light of dawn, Guanzhuang Castle, which had been burning all night, was still ablaze, and many unpleasant smells could still be faintly smelled.
Three people covered in gray cloth quietly left the city.
As they left the Land of Fire, they looked back.
"More than a dozen rulers have died, so the loss is quite big."
"Yeah, they don't seem to have escaped, which is a bit strange."
"Humph, it seems that our target is really capable, but that is better. He will soon find that relying on human power alone cannot save the entire castle. I am afraid that he is now facing the abuse of thousands of survivors.
And spurn him...Only the shadow can give him real power."
"Haha, he must have understood now that such lowly things as human beings are not worth saving at all. This is his first step into the shadows."
"Old Xu, you are really powerful. Our Pillar of Shadows lacks capable men like you. Believe me, you will be favored by the shadows."
"Yes, we could not have imagined that such a scene could occur before retreating."
"Thank you both for your compliments. I think we can move now. The next battlefield is waiting for us."
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it."
The three gray cloth men disappeared in the shadows as they spoke.
…………
At noon, the east gate of Guanzhuang Abandoned Fort.
In the morning, a large number of aberrations began to disperse in all directions. After the cavalry forcibly intercepted several batches, they finally determined that these aberrations had given up the siege. After finding that it was impossible to hunt down the fleeing aberrations, they then began to enter the city to clean up.
"Brother Shen, there are some weird corpses here, they look a little different from others." At the east gate of the city, a cavalryman was dismounting to pile up the corpses of the killed monsters, when he suddenly discovered a body that was only the size of a house cat and had a weird shape.
, unlike any animal that already exists in the wild.
Shen Rui drove his horse over and came to the small abnormal creature.
Unlike others, who could only see its shape and appearance, in front of his eyes, he saw a stream of dark brown particles slowly floating out from the body.
Obviously, after the death of the host, it cannot provide higher-level energy, so the special particles fused into the body will naturally be abandoned and find new qualified ones.
I really envy these immortal particle elves. They have no troubles and sorrows and only look for the partner that suits them best.
If this host dies, it will starve for a few days at most before looking for others.
Seeing him coming over, those dark brown special particles seemed to be like bees seeing flowers. They immediately accelerated their escape from the corpse and swarmed towards him!
Shen Rui expressed his emotional stability about this, because he had seen too many situations where special particles would fawn over him, and there was a large group of people lining up around him at this time.
It's just that he has only cultivated to the second level of perfection, which is not enough to accommodate too many, so he can only watch them linger every day.
He decided to accept these dark brown special particles, so he forcibly opened a channel for them, and controlled them with his mind to let them enter his right hand.
The muscles there need more specific particles to reach perfection.
After absorbing most of the strange particles from this aberration, Shen Rui discovered that the muscles of the five fingers of his right hand seemed to have turned pale gold.
He immediately knew that this aberration was at least level five. The dark brown particles it contained had huge energy and could promote the evolution of the particles that had been integrated into his muscles to the perfect stage.
At the same time, the moment these particles entered his body, he understood what these particles represented.
"Dominate!"
Not courage, not glory, not responsibility, not wisdom, but dominance.
As the name suggests, creatures that incorporate this special particle can invade other people's thoughts!
Ouyang can also enter other people's conscious worlds and make spiritual connections, but he is just a messenger and has no ability to change other people's thoughts.
But these particles do have this ability. As long as the target's spiritual cultivation is lower than that of the host and lacks a strong will to resist, it will be affected by these particles.
They are like a relay, giving the thoughts of the host to these people.
The premise is that deep down in their hearts, these people have the same things as the host. If the three views are completely violated, it will be difficult to achieve.
He suddenly realized, no wonder those monsters were able to fight to the end and did not collapse due to excessive casualties. It was obviously affected by the subtle influence of these particles.
Abnormalities have the urge to kill, and these particles amplify this urge and make it the mainstream of the opponent's thoughts, so that they can persevere to the end.
The monsters are scattered and fighting on their own, but they instinctively yearn for the power of group hunting. The particles amplify this idea and let them gather together to form a new order.
He looked at his right hand. Those special particles seemed to be particularly active. Compared with the particles such as glory, courage, and wisdom that he had fused, they had more expressive impulses. The other ones had been erased by him from the spiritual imprint of his predecessors and transformed into pure
of food.
And these seem to have their own opinions and are encouraging the subject to use them.
"Domination, this is really a heart-stirring power. Human beings have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and in the end, isn't it just domination?"
Shen Rui shook his head. Anyone who wants to dominate others will eventually be dominated by others. There are definitely hidden dangers behind this kind of power.
He will not be influenced by anyone. The properties of the special particles have no meaning to him. All he needs is the pure power brought by the other party.
He has his own power.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to erase the spiritual imprints on those "dominated" particles and let them return to their original consciousness and state.
Then he asked people to collect similar strange corpses. These cavalry had already convinced him, so the execution went smoothly.
Xia Daxue felt a little strange when she saw this, so she came over and asked, "What are these weird and weird things?"
"Oh, they are aberrations that have particle 'control'." Shen Rui had no intention of hiding it. Once a new weapon appears once, it will appear a second time. There is no point in lying. After all, the appearance of this new weapon is
It's up to the enemy to decide
"Dominate?" Xia Daxue's expression changed, "No wonder these monsters can organize large-scale sieges."
"Yes, humans are adapting to the dark sun world, and monsters are also adapting to this world." Shen Rui nodded.
Xia Daxue took out two white gloves and put them on, then picked up one, "I want to send it to the headquarters for testing. This is a very important particle."
"Oh, haven't you seen it before?" Shen Rui said in surprise.
"Well, of course I have seen it before, but the number is too small to be used as a weapon," Xia Daxue explained, "The person who can generate the dominating attribute particles must be the leader of the place, but human society has its own rules
, it is impossible to allow others to invade other people's thoughts and tamper with their ideas. Once such a person is discovered, his cultivation will be abolished, so..."
"So it has not been developed. Instead, the unruly monsters developed this kind of weapon first..." Shen Rui added what the other party wanted to say, and at the same time he felt awe-inspiring. If he had absorbed this kind of particle before, and Used to control others, this is already a taboo.
"Yes, we are human beings after all, and there are some things that cannot be done in public," Xia Daxue said, "so your spiritual cultivation should be improved quickly. After all, you cannot do it in public. There must be an organization to study it privately."
Shen Rui nodded, and then asked people to deliver these control monsters to his tent. Since the enemy gave such a gift, of course he would accept it.
Xia Daxue knew that he could absorb the power of these particles with specific attributes and would not be affected. After all, Shen Rui had absorbed wisdom particles before.
Therefore, she did not interfere, but hurriedly called Xiaoying to put away the three dominant aberrations that had not been absorbed.
"Remember, deliver it to my headquarters as quickly as possible. You know the place."
"It's just such a small amount of stuff, it's such a waste of my transportation capacity. Why don't I buy some aberrations and sell them on the way there? Your headquarters has a lot of spending power." Xiaoying looked at the corpses of aberrations all over the place with greedy eyes. It's all money. ah!
"Okay, you can transport as much as you can, but you can only get 30% of the fee." Xia Daxue did not refuse.
"It's really stupid, forget it, I have no contribution anyway..." Xiaoying agreed happily.
Not long after, Xiaoying, who had collected nearly a thousand strange corpses, rose into the air and headed south.
