Chapter 259： last hope

Chapter 259 The only remaining hope

There are two types of buff effects when human beings shine.

One is affinity +1, and the other is mental toughness +100%.

When he was cultivating in the Lost Meile Wetland, Moyou had already experienced the effect of "Affinity +1", which made some animals put down their guard against him.

However, this affinity effect does not apply to those beasts in the Shimera wetlands that regard humans as prey.

Maybe it's because those beasts can ignore the buff effect, or the affinity level is not high enough.

As for monsters—

Moyu hasn’t encountered Warcraft since he came to Hunter World, so it’s not clear whether the affinity buff has any effect on Warcraft.

Moyou also has never experienced the buff effect of mental toughness +100%.

After all, he hasn't been hit by a suggestive or semi-compulsive operating system ability, so he doesn't know whether this 100% toughness can produce a resistance effect.

If it is a semi-compulsory operating system ability effect that has already met the conditions, maybe this mental toughness +100% buff effect will not be effective.

But if it is a suggestive operating system ability with the lowest manipulation intensity, there is a high probability that it will be immune.

Now Mental Toughness increased from 100% to 105%...

Does this mean that after increasing to 200% or 300%, it will be able to resist the stronger semi-mandatory operating system ability, and even resist the compulsory operating system ability that can directly wipe out consciousness?

Or they can be immune to the ability to read other people's memories such as Paconoda, and the ability to hypnotize others in Saqiu's "psychological consultation room".

There is even a certain ability to force others to speak the truth through physical contact or collision.

If this is the wide-ranging effect that +100% mental toughness can bring...

Then it is very necessary to start upgrading.

Because the ability to read is so strange, in a sense, even a traveler who is familiar with all kinds of reading knowledge cannot guarantee that he will not get his shoes wet when walking by the river.

So the defensive value brought by this passive buff is immeasurable, and it can greatly increase the fault tolerance rate in various situations.

In just a few breaths, Moyou's thoughts surged.

The increased mental resistance means that one can have twice or even three times stronger mental resistance than others.

This is equivalent to a rare and precious passive defense ability.

However, what Moyou thought of was still how to maximize the value of this buff effect.

He first thought about whether "spiritual toughness" can be applied to the constraints of abilities, such as matching with the ability of "Fairy Flowers and Water Moons" that may be developed in the future.

"Let's talk about it later..."

Moyou restrained his thoughts in time.

It's good to have some whimsy, but it's more important to keep your feet on the ground.

On the road of thinking ability, it is a taboo to aim too high.

Moyou has quite strong self-control in this regard, and will not make the low-level mistake of wanting to run before he can walk.

Tough and sensible.

Ensuring that every step he takes is solid enough is what he has been doing.

Put the knife back into its sheath, behind you are scattered armored men and statues with human heads holding their heads.

Moyou raised his eyes to look at the group of candidates with shocked faces in front of him.

It’s no wonder…

The unbeatable armored man and human head-embracing statue are as vulnerable as a chicken and a dog in front of Moyou.

This huge gap, both visually and psychologically, brought an unspeakable impact to the candidates.

the most important is-

The crisis is over!

The tense nerves of the candidates suddenly relaxed, and they all slowly slumped to the ground.

In the situation just now, it feels like the whole team is on the verge of collapse.

Luckily, Moyou made a timely move, otherwise...

Among the candidates, Bolton, who was temporarily serving as the captain, looked at Moyou with a complicated expression.

"Number 1789, it's really a great help. If it weren't for you, we might all die here..."

"a piece of cake."

Moyou responded casually, then looked towards the distant buildings, and could vaguely hear some movement.

Although they couldn't see the situation at the source of the sound, they could probably guess that candidates in other positions were attacked by armored men and statues holding their heads.

Without the help of people with psychic ability, ordinary people can't do anything about these armored men and human head-holding statues that can be resurrected infinitely.

Besides—

Judging from the number of black death thoughts that spread to the ruins at the beginning, the number of armored men and human head-holding statues controlled by the thoughts of after death in the ruins started at least 10,000.

It can be said that once a person with non-intellectual ability penetrates into it, it is basically impossible to think of surviving.

"you…"

Moyou withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Bolton and the others again, and stopped speaking as soon as he spoke.

I wanted to tell Bolton and the others about the "weaknesses" of the armored man and the human head-holding statue, but then I thought that Bolton and the others couldn't see the existence of Death Thought...

So even if you say this, it doesn't make any sense.

"Are you going to leave or stay here?"

Moyou changed his mind and asked.

The scope covered by the Death Thought of the operating system should be limited to the architectural complex of the ruins.

So, as long as you stay away from the ruins or return to the cave before you come back, you should not be the target of the armored man and the human head-holding statue.

Hearing Moyou's inquiry, a look of hesitation flashed across Bolton's eyes.

to be frank…

Facing a treasure with huge potential value, few people can easily give up.

However, thinking of the dangerous situation just now, the hesitation in Bolton's eyes quickly faded away.

There are many ways to earn money.

But if life is gone, there will be nothing.

"I don't want to stay in such a ghostly place, but how to get out of here is a problem."

Bolton frowned, and then thought about how to find a way to leave after running back to the hole before him.

The other candidates had the same idea as Bolton.

Of course I really want to get valuable treasures from this dungeon ruins, but my life is gone, so what's the point of getting more money.

But the problem now is that they don't know how to escape from this ghost place.

Suddenly, all the candidates present looked at Moyou, as if a drowning man was looking at a straw that could be grasped.

Facing the eyes of everyone looking over, Moyou calmly said: "You guys go out first, my companion and I will go in and have a look inside."

"..."

Everyone had different expressions when they heard the words.

This is the answer they want to hear.

But in their view, there are already so many armored men and human head-embracing statues on the outskirts of the ruins city, and it is hard to imagine how many there are in the depths.

Only Mo You and Men Qi went in...

Even if they had already seen Moyou's strength, they felt that this was no different from going deep into the dragon's lake and tiger's lair.

Even so, it is impossible for them to raise objections, and they hope that Moyou can find a way to leave here.

"Be careful."

Bolton was the first to respond, with a serious expression.

Neither he nor the other candidates who have just experienced danger do not want to stay in this terrifying ruin city, and at the same time hope that someone can carry the burden for them and find a way to leave here.

And this man—

It can only be the boy in front of him who is as powerful as a monster.

"Please, 1789..."

“Be sure to tread carefully.”

Candidates said some scene words one after another.

Moyou nodded and said nothing more.

Whether this group of people stay or go, it doesn't make any difference to him.

Soon, Moyou greeted Menqi and walked towards the depths of the ruined city together.

Bolton and other candidates looked at the backs of Moyou and Menqi with different thoughts.

For them, Moyou and Menqi are their only hope.

at the same time.

Other locations of the site.

Candidates who came in from several other directions encountered attacks from armored men and human head-holding statues without exception.

Unknown to them, between frequent attacks and defenses, many armored men and human head-holding statues experienced multiple resurrections.

So much so that the speed of several armored men reached the level of ghosts, easily harvesting the lives of the candidates.

Facing these monsters guarding the ruins, these candidates could do nothing but collapsed and lost their lives amidst bursts of screams.

On top of a building about five stories tall.

Xia Ke sat on the edge of the eaves, looking calmly at the dozens of candidates who were in desperate situation below.

"After being knocked down, it will become stronger and stronger because of the 'death' on the surface. The afterlife of the operating system...is really interesting."

Looking at several armored men in the battle circle whose speed cannot be underestimated, the knight raised his hand to his chin, his eyes gleaming.

He didn't care about the life and death of this group of fellow candidates at all, so he didn't mean to help from the beginning to the end, and let the armored men and human head-holding statues in the ruins city unilaterally massacre this group of candidates.

Under this premise, he can use the lives of these candidates to collect relevant information.

"What kind of treasure will there be? Unfortunately, I'm the only one who came to take the test. This place... I always feel that I can't handle it alone."

The knight ignored the desperate screams from below, stood up and looked at the huge pillar in the ruined city.

Below the hideous and terrifying column, there is a majestic building that stands out from the crowd in the ruins city. Judging from the appearance style, it seems to be a temple or a shrine.

It is necessary to find a way to leave.

But before that, the knight does not want to let go of the opportunity to get the treasure.

Thinking of this, the knight jumped and walked along the roof of the building complex towards the temple.

Candidates who don't know how to read are attacked and only want to leave the place of right and wrong.

Those who know how to read like knights, even if they are attacked, they still haven't given up the treasures that may exist in the ruins.

For these reasons—

Not only the chivalrous knights did not care about the situation of the candidates in the same period, but also the other candidates who knew the ability to read, focusing on the treasures in the ruins.

What does the life and death of others have to do with me?

This is their cognition.

Very realistic and cruel.

As a result, the hundreds of examinees who came into the site from other directions and could not read were gradually being eaten away by the armored men and human head-holding statues in the site.

If Bolton and the others find out about this...

I'm afraid that at the same time that they have lingering fears, they will be thankful that the place they teleported from is very close to Moyoumenqi, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Somewhere just one street from the "Pillar" and "Temple".

The three members of the A-level Elimo bandit group were heading towards the towering and majestic "temple" at an extremely fast speed.

The chivalrous men will stay on the periphery to collect information by watching coldly, but the three of them, led by Lion Ryan, will not do this kind of thing that they think is a waste of time.

So, they also ignored the candidates, and they were the first group of people who came near the "pillar" and "temple".

"The number of 'thoughts after death' is too much."

Mantis Mantis held two arm-blade scimitars in his hands, and looked at the armored men and human head-embracing statues dangling around in surprise.

Along the way, he saw at least 2,000 to 3,000 armored men, while the number of human statues holding heads was relatively small, but there were hundreds of them.

Thanks to the weak combat effectiveness of the armored man and the human head-holding statue in the initial state, otherwise they would not be able to come here so smoothly.

"Baibo, the mission of detection is entrusted to you."

Successfully arrived outside the temple, Lion Ryan looked at Byber's feminine face.

"no problem."

Baibo, the poisonous snake, nodded slightly, and the thoughts on his body floated, and then expanded outward like bubbles.

"round"

Glowing white circles pierced through the dusty pillars and walls of the temple, penetrating inside.

In order to push the largest range of "circles" into the temple, the poisonous snake Baibo walked forward slowly, along the steps in front of the temple platform, and soon came to the thick stone door of the temple with a crack open.

"How about it?"

Lion Ryan followed closely behind Baibo, and asked in a low voice.

Baibo looked through the gap in the stone gate, and calmly said: "I've confirmed, there is no breath inside."

"it is good."

Lion Ryan nodded.

As a strengthening system, he is always at the forefront.

Bybo is a release type, and needs to use the "circle" to be alert to the troubles around him at all times, and can help the front row at any time, so he must stand at the back.

As for Mantis, his attribute is the transformation system, and he should be in the middle. He can assist Ryan when he advances, and protect Baibo's output environment when he retreats.

This is the tactical policy they have been implementing.

Ryan was shrouded in a solid and stable thought force, walking in front, raising his hand and pressing on the heavy stone door.

Boom—

With a little force, he pushed the stone door in.

As the stone gate moved, a lot of dust fell down.

After a while.

The stone gate was pushed open.

Ryan and the three looked inside.

What came into view was an empty hall.

Breaths of green light passed through the glass on the ceiling of the hall, turning into hundreds of arm-thick beams of light, criss-crossing and falling on the ground covered with various cold weapons.

In the depths of the hall, there is a human-like statue placed on a stone pillar five or six meters high.

The body of the statue was curled up into a ball, and on top of its head was a pure gold crown inlaid with seven-color gemstones, which looked extremely luxurious and gorgeous.

Behind the statue, there is a pair of bat-like wings extending to the front, tightly wrapping most of the body, but hands and feet can still be seen vaguely.

And around the stone pillar where the statue is placed, there are a lot of gold coins piled up like a mountain.

At first glance—

Like a pile of sand around a stone pillar.

because…

There are too many gold coins like a hill, giving people an unreal feeling.

"That's right, it's here!"

Ryan glanced at the cold weapons full of chilling aura all over the floor, and finally looked at the mountain of gold coins, and couldn't help showing an excited smile.

The king in charge of the Monka Expeditionary Army likes to cast looted gold into gold coins, and likes to collect all kinds of cold weapons that have been stained with blood, and then throw these cold weapons everywhere.

up to—

Sleep on a bed covered with cold weapons.

"Boss, there is something wrong with that statue."

Mantis Mantis stared at the humanoid statue on top of the golden pile of stone pillars.

Clearly, there is a snake-like black thought force entangled on it!
