The Gluttonous King is a predator lurking in the endless darkness. They are always hungry, desperate for fresh flesh and blood.
In the undercurrent of time and space, there are three main objects that humans can communicate with and guide, namely spiritual bodies, false gods, and counterfeit objects. Pseudo-artifacts are inanimate and dead objects, and will not be discussed here.
A spirit body is an aggregation of spiritual energy that bears the life mark of a species. As time goes by, the spiritual energy will gradually dissipate and eventually disappear. The life imprint of the spirit body preserves some of the memories and habits of the body during its lifetime, and is an existence between living things and dead things. Its intelligence is stagnant and gradually diminishes as its psychic energy dissipates and its life imprint dies.
According to different subconscious behaviors, spirits are divided into heroic spirits and evil spirits. As the name suggests, spirits with good tendencies are called "heroic spirits", and those with evil tendencies are called "evil spirits".
False gods are projections of undercurrent biological consciousness. The biggest difference between it and the spirit body is that the former has independent and sustainable intelligence while the latter does not.
Domain experts use themselves as spatial coordinates, use undercurrent relics as guides, and use their own energy to open channels. The relationship between the three is inseparable. The stronger the self, the clearer the coordinates, the more powerful the relic, the clearer the guide, the greater the own energy level, and the longer and wider the passage.
However, the vast majority of domain experts do not have enough strength to open a large enough channel. The size of the channel can only pass through the consciousness of undercurrent creatures and rely on the energy provided by the host to maintain activities in other worlds.
At first glance, the relationship between the two is more like that of a god and an apostle. Deities rely on the power of the apostles' faith to exist, so they are called "false gods."
The red dragon "Red Fire" of the Maris family is a typical false god. It is said that Chihuo is a red dragon sleeping in the undercurrent of time and space. It has made a contract with the ancestors of the Maris family and formed a long-term cooperative relationship.
As for what their purpose is, the reasons are numerous and varied. Appetite, lust, desire for control, desire for expression, etc. Sometimes, even some powerful beings do not want to gain anything, but are simply bored and want to find some fun in the days of endless darkness.
In contrast, the relationship between the spirit body and the host is dependent, because without the energy provided by the host, the spirit body will gradually die. The false god and the host have a cooperative relationship and have greater autonomy.
The projection of the false god's consciousness into this world is called "undercurrent summoning", and the complete entry of the true body is called "advent".
Obviously, this gluttonous monarch was the object that Duncan had been looking for for a long time, but the communication had not yet been completed. Before his death, he had the mentality that he would die together and forcibly guided it into this world. What followed was bound to be a loss of control.
"We must leave immediately." After running a certain distance, Ye Yang Bailiu immediately offered to lead the team to retreat.
The consciousness projection of this gluttonous monarch has just entered this world and only possesses a small part of the power of the original body. It needs to plunder more energy to truly enter the world. Although part of the energy is obtained by devouring the host, it also loses its way of continuous energy supply. Whether due to nature or objective needs, it will devour all living creatures it can see.
The three hundred steel sisters led by Ye Yang Bailiu are the family members of the Beiqiao Regiment. Once they are lost, most of the Beiqiao Regiment will be wiped out. Nowadays, the North Bridge Regiment has tens of thousands of people, and it is not easy to manage. The Steel Sisters are the key to ensuring the pure blood of the North Bridge Regiment and cannot be missed.
At this time, Jian Yue Canglian also woke up and realized that she had passed out at the critical moment, and she was immediately ashamed.
"Cang Lian is not good at academics and drags down the Lord. He deserves death." After saying this, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
Chen Xing was well aware of the palace maid's habit of committing suicide at every turn, and was already prepared for the electric shock. An electric arc flashed between two fingers, directly knocking down the Crow Sword. Being in a hurry, he didn't care that Ye Yang Bailiu was right next to him and needed to avoid suspicion.
As expected, Ye Yang Bailiu glanced at him, somewhat meaningfully. If it wasn't an emergency, I would probably have said, "You really have a deep love between master and servant..."
However, Chen Xing greatly underestimated the power of jealousy in women.
"You guys really have a good understanding..."
Ye Yang Bailiu's face was frosty, his words were sarcastic, and he could no longer hide the unhappiness on his face.
"Canglian and her master are innocent. If the mistress doesn't believe it, Canglian is willing to die to prove it."
Chi. "Jian Yue Cang Lian knelt down and said, picked up the knife and wanted to kill herself.
Chen Xing was stunned. He had never thought that the palace maid, who had always been pure and honest, had the ability to tell lies without blinking an eyelid. Who doesn’t know about the dedication ceremony of the Maid Academy? No wonder people always say that women are born to be liars, liars, liars, liars...
"I just said something casually, sister, don't take it seriously." Ye Yang Bailiu took Jian Yue Canglian's knife and helped her up. We are all ladies, but we are still reliable at critical moments. Unlike those short-sighted shrews who quarreled with their own men when their enemies came to the door.
After this episode, the three of them continued running towards the camp.
Behind him came the roars of the Gluttonous Lord, mixed with anger and pain.
"It is tearing open space cracks with brute force and forcing its way into this world." Ye Yang Bailiu said.
Duncan only had quasi-lord level strength and did not have the ability to summon an undercurrent creature of the Gluttonous Monarch level. He could only barely open a small space passage. The Gluttonous Monarch gained the energy to travel through devouring Duncan and forcibly expanded the passage.
"What's wrong!" "What happened?"
The three of them met Huozui and Honglei who had left first. The two heard the roar of the beast and stopped to watch.
Chen Xing briefly explained the situation and asked the two to go back and notify Tienuo to retreat. Once the gluttonous monarch's consciousness projection breaks out of the space channel, a radius of hundreds of miles will become a purgatory on earth.
"Go quickly and go to the nearest city to ask for help!"
"good!"
Separating from Chen Xing and the others, Huo Zui and Hong Lei went straight to the camp.
"Hey, we got into trouble." Honglei blamed himself and was a little angry, "What a piece of shit, he wants to harm others when death is imminent!"
"A person who can be an ant spider has no humanity at all. It is reasonable for a dog to jump over the wall and fight to the death." Huozui consoled him.
A few minutes later, the two men broke into the command camp of the Thunder Light Regiment in a hurry and told Tienuo exactly what happened.
The more Tie Nuo listened, his face grew darker and his fists were clenched tightly. When he heard that they escorted Duncan to the forest to conspire to kill him, he couldn't help it anymore and roared: "You, how could you do such treachery?" thing!"
"We also want everyone's future. You don't know that people like Duncan have no bottom line at all. They will definitely come back for revenge in the future. What will we do to stop them? So we will..."
"Huozui!" Tienuohu's eyes widened and he was furious.
"Boss, tell me, I'll listen." Huozui Honglei stood up straight, looking like he was being beaten and punished.
"You know, people who don't have faith are worse than animals!" Tienuo's chest kept rising and falling, and he gasped with anger.
"Boss, I was wrong. I am worse than a beast. You can scold me no matter what you want later, but now it is an emergency. Let's pack up and leave first!"
Tie Nuo had a dark face and said nothing. Huo Zui glanced at Hong Lei and was silent for a few seconds. The two of them gritted their teeth, ignored Tie Nuo, and started packing their things.
Huo Zui is the deputy leader, and his prestige is the number one person under Tie Nuo. He asked everyone to quickly pack up and retreat. Tie Nuo didn't express his position, so naturally no one would object.
In the blink of an eye, the entire camp was busy. Due to the emergency, supplies with lower value were abandoned, and only the most valuable and useful ones were taken away. In less than twenty minutes, the entire Thunder Light Regiment was loaded and unloaded and ready to set off.
It was already approaching evening, the light was dim, and Tie Nuo was sitting alone in the dark military tent, motionless, like a stone statue.
"Boss, pack up and let's go." Huozui came in and said.
Tie Nuo looked at the ground and said nothing.
"Brothers are waiting for you." Hong Lei said as he followed.
Tie Nuo still didn't move or speak.
Huo Zui and Hong Lei looked at each other, both at a loss. They were rough people who were not good at words, and they felt a little guilty, and they didn't know what to say.
"Captain, deputy commander, the cars are ready."
A short and stocky man came in and said. This man has a thick and hoarse voice, nicknamed Tongluo, and is one of the Iron Galactic trio of the Lightning Regiment.
After being silent for a long time, Tie Nuo slowly raised his head and wriggled his mouth with difficulty.
"Let's go..."
The three people present suddenly widened their eyes.
"Tie Nuo, what's the matter with you!" Huozui grabbed Tie Nuo's collar emotionally and asked loudly, "What's the matter for a bastard who got a thousand cuts?"
Tie Nuo looked at Huozui, his eyes a little dull, his pupils completely unfocused, like a walking corpse. Huozui pushed hard a few times, and Tie Nuo fell to the ground, still dazed.
The evening sun shines in, casting long shadows on the ground.
There was a deathly silence in the camp, no one spoke, only the sound of suppressed breathing.
"Brother, what's wrong with you..." Huozui gradually softened, "Don't be like this, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you can hit me and scold me, but don't be like this, okay..."
"Let's go..." Tie Nuo said quietly, his whole face lifeless.
"Tell me, why, why don't you leave?" Huozui shook Tienuo's shoulders vigorously, "In your eyes, are we brothers not as good as a scumbag?" He roared in pain, "You said ah!"
Tienuo shook his head, his eyes gradually regained their brightness, "You are my good brothers, good brothers forever..."
"If it's just that villain, so what if I kill him thousands of times?"
"But have you ever thought about it, the gluttonous monarch is a king-level evil beast, we can just run away, but the refugees and millions of people within a radius of hundreds of miles will all become the food of the evil beast..."
"This incident happened because of me. I have no choice but to atone for my sins."
After listening to Tie Nuo's words, the three people in Huozui suddenly woke up. The Gluttonous Lord is now just a projection of consciousness, but after devouring enough flesh and blood, he can gradually materialize and finally descend into this world.
King versus king, only a king-level powerhouse can deal with the coming of the Gluttonous Lord. But when that time comes, life will inevitably be ruined. The land behind them can be used for grazing and planting. There are a large number of refugee villages, gathering places, planting fields, and grazing fields, with a population of millions.
What a cruel feast of flesh and blood that would be, just imagining it can make people breathless.
Tie Nuo patted Huozui on the shoulder and said, "Take the brothers away. You must think twice before doing anything in the future."
After being silent for a long time, Huozui looked at Honglei and then at Tongluo, his eyes gradually becoming firmer. He put his hand on the shoulder of the person he respected the most in his life and said solemnly, "We are brothers, let's carry it together!"
The gluttonous monarchs at this stage have not eaten a lot, and their strength is only a small part of their own bodies. As long as they go all out, they have a chance to destroy the opponent.
Honglei stepped forward and put his arm around Tie Nuo's other shoulder. There seemed to be light flashing in his eyes, "Let's go together, regardless of mountains of swords, mountains of fire, seas of hell, and hells!"
Tongluo was greatly affected, and he was filled with pride, "Isn't he just a big eating monster? Do it!"
"You, you don't have to..." Tie Nuo's voice trembled slightly.
"You can't carry so many lives, and neither can I!" Huozui grabbed Tienuo's arm forcefully, "Don't look down on me, I am also a respectable man!"
Such a burden will crush a person's pride and make him unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life. Who are they? They are upright men, they can die, but their backbone must not be broken.
"Okay, you are all good!" Tie Nuo nodded vigorously, then stood up straight, as if he had been reborn, and his whole body glowed with a strange brilliance.
"Go down and inform everyone. Those who are willing to stay can stay. Those who don't want to, don't make it difficult for them. Pay those who should be paid and let them go home." Tie Nuo's voice was rich and calm, "One more thing, you must tell the truth. To be honest, this operation is very dangerous, and it is very likely that we will not be able to go back."
"Everyone who participates in the battle must be strapped with explosives and must not let their bodies become food for evil beasts to replenish their energy."
"yes!"
