Volume 4: The Rise of the Dragon Chapter 379: The Demon's Countermeasures
(My friend actually asked me to help him with his argument. And it’s business management! I couldn’t find any relevant content on my website. I finally found something similar, but I was told that the content and data were too old!!! Crash~~~~~~ Fortunately, people understand my urgency to write a novel, so they allow me to finish the novel first. The time schedule is so tight that I can’t wait to break it in half in one minute~~~~~~Tangled~~~~~ ~)

Since there is the head of Taoist Qingzhi as evidence, the authenticity of this news cannot be questioned. All the lords immediately became serious and began to coordinate how to jointly respond to the attacks of the cultivators.
"The abilities of cultivators are very comprehensive. Not only can they fly into the sky, escape from the earth, swallow water, spit out fire, manipulate thunder and lightning and mobilize the power of nature, but what's even more powerful is that they can also use a powerful weapon called a 'magic weapon'. This 'magic weapon' is more powerful than Our magic weapons and artifacts are no less impressive, and I don’t know how they were made, so that they can be made into almost everyone’s hands.”
The giant ape demon touched its chest. Its chest was covered with a thick layer of scaly hair, and underneath it was a layer of tough and thick skin. There were also thick fat and elastic muscles under the skin, which could shed a huge amount of weight. overall pressure. The defense is extremely powerful. Even a full blow from an ordinary demon lord without weapons and bare hands may not be able to damage it.
The giant ape demon is a melee-type ancient demon native to the demon world. They are almost incapable of using magic because they are not naturally sensitive to magic energy. But instead, their physical strength is extremely powerful. Even the strongest Balor Fire Demon is no match for them based on physical strength alone.
But on the chest that should have been as smooth as a mirror, there were more than a dozen scars as big as the mouth of a bowl. The scars formed a very ugly shape, as if they were flowing magma that suddenly cooled. The giant ape lord said distressedly: "Furthermore, the abilities of these 'magic weapons' are also all kinds of strange. They seem to be able to accommodate all kinds of energy. No matter how strong the defense is, they will be broken. If you are not careful, you may capsize in a ditch. If you are not lucky and refined enough, I feel like maybe I wouldn’t be here today.”
The other demon lords also looked at the dozens of scars on it with a very fearful look. Their numerous subordinates were naturally well-informed, so they all knew the origin of the giant ape's scars. It was injured by a cultivator who used a mirror-shaped magic weapon that could burn dual flames of ice and fire at the same time. That battle almost killed the giant ape.
As we all know, the danger in hand-to-hand combat is far greater than that in long-range combat, so those who are good at close-quarter combat must have strong attack power, outstanding defense power, and high dodge ability, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the melee. Since the giant ape can dominate in hand-to-hand combat, its defense and dodge capabilities are naturally not low, but it is also almost defeated by the cultivator's magic weapon. Naturally, other demon lords cannot help but be vigilant.
"Your concerns, Lord Nord, are very correct. This war is different from the past. According to the humans in this plane, lions and rabbits are also trying their best. Since the cultivators are ready to kill us all, once they attack, they will definitely go all out. It will give us a chance to breathe. Moreover, cultivators generally use range attacks. If we do not contain them, our ordinary demons will definitely suffer heavy losses. Therefore, all demon lords, except those who are really not good at melee combat, must rush to the front line. . At that time, the cultivator’s magic weapon will be a huge threat to us. If we don’t find a way to solve this problem, we will be at a disadvantage in the war." Nibogen scratched his chin with his fingers and frowned.
The fighting power of ordinary demons is naturally much higher than that of ordinary humans. It is not a problem to fight one against ten humans; but compared to cultivators, these ordinary demons are not enough to look down on, even for a cultivator in the Qi training period. With sufficient mana, one can kill more than ten ordinary monsters one after another, and then rest and have sufficient supplies. Can continue to fight. This is because humans have higher intelligence than ordinary demons. With the same strength, humans can use various favorable conditions, such as tools, weapons, terrain, strategies, etc., so they can defeat them.
However, the number of cultivators is much smaller than that of demons. After all, the conditions for becoming a cultivator are very stringent. Their bones and qualifications limit more than 90% of human beings. Although cultivators are the elites of mankind, they cannot stand up to the army of demons and demons who are all soldiers. After all, the number of demons is also very huge. Those elite demons and some naturally strong and intelligent demon species have intelligence no less than that of humans, enough to compete with those middle and low-level cultivators. As for those leader-level and lord-level monsters, they can even fight against masters of cultivation.
In this case, if the cultivator chooses to fight against the demon alone, it will be very difficult and he may suffer failure. This is why even though they knew that the rise of warriors would affect the cultivator family's dominance to a certain extent, the cultivator community still did not stifle it, but instead acquiesced in its development.
The difference in physical and combat qualities between humans and monsters is too great. Even when the high-end combat power is similar, the gap between the mid-range and low-end combat power is enough to affect the outcome of the entire battle. After all, although cultivators are aloof, they cannot exist apart from the mortal group. Once mortal humans perish, cultivators will also face the dilemma of insufficient support. If there are no mortals to provide food, services, faith, mining and other resources, then these tasks can only be left to the cultivators themselves. Once that happens, the cultivators will become "mortals" in another sense. Nor can one enjoy the high sense of superiority and privilege by receiving resources from the mortal world.
In previous wars, humans and monsters fought against each other, with the strong men on both sides restraining each other, while the battle below was left to the middle and low-level monsters, low-level cultivators, warriors, and mortal armies. In this case, once one side has more high-end combat power, it will massacre the other side's low-end combat power. to weaken the opponent's strength. Compared with the demons with simple attack methods, cultivators who master magic weapons and many mass-destructive spells will naturally have an advantage. In particular, some cultivators have powerful souls, or have special magic weapons or techniques that can control multiple magic weapons at the same time. They can even entangle the masters on the demon side while killing those low-level demons. The demon masters are furious but There is nothing we can do.
In addition, cultivators can work together to use some formations, the power of heaven and earth, and the power of many people to fight against demons. This is the only way to deal with sieges, which can often cause a lot of trouble and harm to demons. For example, ten cultivators who were originally in the Qi-training period were besieged by thousands of monsters. As long as they cooperated with each other and skillfully formed a formation, they could withstand the attack of a group of monsters until they reached the source of other cultivators. The cultivators who form formations on the battlefield can have their attack power and defense power enhanced, and their survivability will be greatly increased. This is also an important reason why although the cultivators have won and lost in the war with the demons, the casualties are far less than those on the demon side.
In many wars, the demon side also suffered a lot of losses in this regard. However, after all, the demon side has a huge number of powerful people and has suffered several losses. They quickly locked in on those difficult special cultivators. Once they met again, they immediately sent more strong men to entangle them, and even killed two cultivators in a sudden attack, making the human side not too high-minded and too presumptuous. However, they still have no way to deal with the formations of the cultivators. They can only allow those intelligent and magic demons to launch long-range collective magic to suppress them. However, there are a large number of monsters on the demon side with similar skills, and many of them can barely compete with the cultivation formation. So in general, although the demon suffered a disadvantage on the local battlefield, it was not at a disadvantage in the overall situation.
However, the magic weapon on the human side is indeed unpredictable and unpredictable. In this kind of war that determines the fate of both sides, there is no room for any mistakes. This problem must be solved or at least contained.
After a moment of silence, a demon lord finally spoke.
"I think this question can be left to my children." The person who spoke was a man who was about two meters tall and looked like a giant octopus that could walk upright, but it had ten times more tentacles than an octopus. Each tentacle had a The demon lord has small eyes, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth under his head, and his voice rises and falls with a strange accent.
This is a mutated evil-eyed tyrant. It has countless tentacles and eyes that slowly squirm under its body, exuding a violent and trance-like aura that is worthy of its name of "tyrant". However, what is different from the ordinary evil-eyed tyrant is that it has a huge sapphire blue eyeball on its head. A silver pupil in the eyeball slowly rotates and exudes a mysterious luster; a faint light blue mist diffuses around the huge eyeball. This giant eye looks like a jewel, adding a sense of mystery and elegance to its otherwise ugly appearance.
Mecanshute's eyes lit up and he said joyfully: "Sir Terry, what can you do?" Beholders are a race of demons that are born with high intelligence and strong combat capabilities. This race is born with strong mental power and magic induction. Common beholder can not only control the tentacles all over the body to entangle prey and enemies, but also shoot fatal squinting rays from the eyeballs at the ends of those tentacles. Those who are hit can suffer a random loss or damage. effects of magic;
The evolution of the beholder, the evil eye, is able to emit light with charming power through countless eyes throughout the body, and control those creatures with lower spirits and less strong wills than them, making them their slaves. Not only that, through the controlled creatures, the evil eye You can also enjoy their views. The limit of creatures controlled by an evil eye is equal to their number of tentacles and mental power, and the creatures they control are a full twenty kilometers away from them. This means that if the number of controlled creatures is enough, one squinting eye can monitor the situation for hundreds of miles!
After evolving into the Beholder Lord - the Evil Eye Tyrant, the intensity and quality of its mental power have been increased tenfold. Not only has the limit of creatures it can control greatly increased, but its control distance has also increased tenfold. It has also gained the ability to gather the creatures it controls. The mental power of the subordinate beholder group, the ability to expand brain capacity, and share memories. After gathering the mental power of all the controlled creatures and all the beholder demons and evil eyes under his subordinates, the evil eye tyrant's brain capacity is greatly expanded, and the increase in mental power also improves his neural response and calculation speed. The quality of the soul has also been greatly improved, reaching the strength of the "Holy Soul", and in terms of calculation and intelligence, it is no worse than an ordinary demigod!
Therefore, every evil-eyed tyrant is a strong man who has concentrated the power and wisdom of a group. What the wise men say is definitely not without purpose. Even true god-level strong men like Mecanshut dare not look down upon it.
"I have also captured several cultivators. Although they are not as powerful as Taoist Qingzhi in the Void Return Stage, they still have a certain understanding of their cultivation techniques, magic weapons, formations and other knowledge." As he said, The evil-eyed tyrant also glanced at the head on the ground, as if regretting that he had not absorbed Taoist Qingzhi's memory. Now that the person is dead, all the memories have been wrapped up in the cultivator's soul and disappeared together, but the head alone cannot absorb any useful memories.
It raised more than a dozen tentacles and sprayed out faint blue energy to draw images of magic weapons in the air, including flying swords, big seals, orbs, shields, spears, blades, pagodas, tokens, ** and other different types. "The magic weapons of cultivators are mostly drawn from high-quality materials in the material world, which are what they call heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and then add some formations and talismans similar to magic arrays to the magical 'Samadhi True Fire' emitted by themselves." 'Refined into final shape. Its various functions and strengths depend on the selected materials and refining techniques."
It continued to tell a lot of information about the magic weapon. The language was concise and clear. Even the demon lords who had little understanding of the way of cultivation could know the advantages and disadvantages of the magic weapon from its words.
"That's what I know and surmise, so in my opinion it's impossible to not be harmed by magic weapons at all, but you can be relatively defensive. That is, use magic weapons or energy shields to protect your body to avoid direct contact with magic weapons. This can reduce the damage caused by magic weapons to us to the greatest extent. Even if the defense is broken, those magic weapons will be blocked for a period of time and we can take advantage of this time to escape. So everyone must remember to bring enough magic weapons with you before fighting. And the magic crystal will consume a lot of energy."
After saying that, he sighed, "It's a pity that the cultivation system of cultivators is completely different from ours and cannot be accommodated by our cultivation system, so we can only learn from it if we can't practice at the same time. As for the principles of those formations, they are somewhat similar to those of magic formations." But it’s more complicated and profound, and it doesn’t use magic elements but another type of energy that exists between heaven and earth, what they call ‘Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy’. This system is too complicated and I can’t understand it yet.”
After listening to the evil-eyed tyrant's narration, everyone's faces became much more relaxed. Their biggest headache was the mysterious magic weapons and formations of the cultivators. Now that the evil-eyed tyrant was able to solve their puzzles, they felt a lot more relaxed. Although it did not increase their actual combat power, it allowed them to "know themselves and their enemies" to a certain extent.
The biggest terror in the world is the unknown. After being mentally prepared, the confidence of the demon lords has become stronger.
"Thank you, Mr. Terry, for your explanation. With your words, our chances of winning will increase." Nibergen nodded to the evil-eyed tyrant, with a hint of good smile on his stern face.
"I haven't finished my words yet. My children can control some ordinary insects, birds and beasts, and then disperse and hide within a radius of thousands of miles to observe and monitor the actions of the human cultivators. If there is any situation, we can know it as soon as possible. ! As long as we have an advantage in intelligence, we will be able to gain an advantage. Hey, maybe we can be the first to give them a 'surprise' by then!" the evil-eyed tyrant concluded. The giant blue eye on top of the head also exuded a light silver luster, as if very excited.
The Evil Eye Tyrant is indeed very excited. Other demon lords know that it is a mutated Evil Eye Tyrant, but they don't know why he mutated and what new skills he has. The actual mutation of monsters can be said to be all kinds of strange. Because eating substances containing special energy, being stimulated, cultivating deviant energy, even genetic mutations, bloodline awakening~~~~~~, etc. can all lead to mutations, so it is difficult for monsters to mutate. Find out the reasons one by one. The reason why the Evil Eye Tyrant mutated is because it once broke into the underground world of a plane during a previous space journey, broke into a Mind Flayer city, and finally devoured the Mind Flayer mastermind in it!
The mind flayers are proficient in various mental powers and warlock skills. Their strongest one will turn into a mastermind. They have the ability to control other mind flayers, which is somewhat similar to the ability of the Evil Eye Tyrant, but they have no physical combat ability, so they were killed by the Evil Eye Tyrant. Later it is consumed as a tonic.
After the mutation, the Evil Eye Tyrant not only possessed more bizarre abilities, but also ignited a faint divine fire in the core of his soul and became a true demigod! However, its mental power was too strong to cover up its own demigod aura, so the other demon lords thought it was just a demon lord at the peak of legend.
And it naturally has its own plans for doing so.
