How many beings on the main material plane can "hear" the cry in the ocean of pan-consciousness?

A few individuals within a very small minority.

When Victor's shouts echoed in the ocean of pan-consciousness, individual beings noticed something strange in their souls.

The Jinshui River is the largest river system on the main material plane. She is the gathering place of many rivers, and no one knows where its source is. The mighty rivers cross from east to west, dividing the vast land into two continents, the north and the south.

If someone loses their way in the vast wasteland of the southern continent, they can just find a river flowing northward and follow the river, and they will always be able to see the majestic Jinshui River.

Lost travelers discovering the Jinshui River means they have found their way home.

At this moment, somewhere on the south bank of the Jinshui River, under a low hill covered with white snow, a simple camp consisting of several animal skin tents lay in the biting wind. A tall and burly man tore open the small pointed tent and rushed into the blizzard, dancing happily and laughing "ho" and "ho".

He was 2.4 meters tall. He rushed out of the warm tent. He was wearing a pair of leather shorts. His muscles exposed in the air were strong and strong, as if they were made of dense steel wires. His body was solid. Like an anvil, like the legendary ancient giant, there was an invisible force field surrounding him, and the snow particles carried by the wind immediately slid away from him before they even landed on his skin.

The giant man has infinite power in his body. He can wave the wind and snow back at will by waving his arms, forming cyclones more than ten meters long, which seem to be extensions of his arms. They collide with the wind and make bursts of muffled thunder. . The scene where he stirred up the wind and thunder was simply appalling.

Others in the camp heard the noise caused by the giant man venting his emotions and thought that a powerful enemy was coming. They all ran out of their animal skin tents with weapons in hand.

"Aka, why are you crazy?"

The middle-aged man who was the last to get out of the tent was the first to scold the giant man. He looked ordinary, wrapped in a thick animal skin coat, but he could only shout from a distance, for fear of being caught by the wind, thunder and snow swung by the giant man.

No one can approach the giant man in this situation. Until he calmed down, a beautiful young woman with blond hair and blue eyes asked worriedly: "Aka, what happened?"

"Lady Charlotte."

Compared to his daunting strength, the giant man actually has a very gentle temper. His eyes are as innocent and simple as a child's, and he does not hide his joy at all. He touches the back of his head, opens his mouth and smiles innocently: "It's the master... the master. He was calling me just now, asking me to find him quickly!”

"What? What did you say?"

The blond beauty's eyes narrowed, she took a step of more than ten meters, jumped in front of the giant man like a flash, and asked eagerly: "Caligula, the master is calling you? Is it... Victor?"

The giant man nodded repeatedly and said, "It's Master Victor. He is calling Aka...Aka heard it."

"Where is the master?"

"Well, it's in the west, far, far away from us... It will take three months for Aka to run as hard as he can to get there." Caligula pointed to the southwest and said angrily.

When the others heard it, they immediately went crazy and started talking about it.

"Thanks to the Supreme Lord of Glory, the distinguished Master Randall is indeed fine...my daughter Bertina should be with the master, right?"

"I'm so damned... I thought the master and Bertina would go east along the south bank of the Jinshui River, but the master stayed in the southwest, which should be somewhere upstream of the Krill River. I took everyone in the wrong direction... "

"Now is not the time to blame ourselves. We should set off immediately to find His Highness Randall."

"Now that Aka has sensed the master's position again, we can find the master. The problem is that we have spent more than a year searching for the master's traces along the bank of the Jinshui River to the east, which is far from the master's current location. It’s getting further and further away. It would take Aka three months to find his master alone, so wouldn’t we have to spend more than half a year chasing after him?”

"……it's all my fault."

"Also, Aka said that His Highness took the initiative to call him and ordered Aka to find him quickly... Could it be that the master is currently in danger?"

"How is this possible? Your Highness is a strong man in the Holy Domain..."

"Shut up, everyone!"

The always gentle and kind Lady Charlotte shouted loudly, and everyone present immediately stopped the discussion and shut their mouths tightly.

Charlotte looked up at Caligula and asked expectantly: "Aka, can you still sense Master Victor now?"

The giant man shook his head slowly and said in annoyance: "Aka could hear the master calling me just now, but now he can't hear it anymore...Aka, it's really useless."

Lady Charlotte's beautiful eyes suddenly became misty, and she forced herself to restrain her emotions so as not to shed tears. She could imagine that something must have happened to the master she served, so she called Caligula, the most powerful servant in the family, but Aka could not sense the master's location now, which was undoubtedly the worst news.

Charlotte did not dare to think any more and said to the giant Aka: "Caligula Randall, the chief retinue of the Randall family, I order you as His Highness Randall's sworn knight to go immediately. Support the Lord, find him, and protect him."

"Oh." Aka nodded quickly and turned to leave the camp.

"Aka, wait." The middle-aged man stopped Aka, caught two little mice with red eyes and white fur from his arms, stepped forward, handed them to his hand, and said, "Take mine." Pets, feed and water them once a day. As long as you keep them alive, I can find you."

After taking the two little mice and stuffing them into his arms, Caligula turned and ran toward the southwest. His tall figure quickly disappeared into the vast snowfield.

Charlotte retracted her gaze and said to the middle-aged man: "Your Excellency Imerson, we have to set off too. Before the wind and snow cover Akka's footprints, we will track him and find the owner. I believe Bertina is also there. side."

"Yes, ma'am."

The middle-aged man saluted respectfully. When he straightened up, his eyes glowed like fire, and he shouted loudly: "Pets, wake up!"

Small snowpacks bulged out from the surrounding snow, and hundreds of ferocious-looking monsters emerged from under the snow. Their appearance resembles that of a liger, with a rat's tail trailing behind them, a flat head, and a split mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth.

Immediately afterwards, the low snow hills next to the camp began to shake violently, and large tracts of snow cracked and slid down, revealing a giant beast the size of a hill. It has curved horns, raises its head that looks like a crocodile, and lets out a low and distant roar, like a super giant monster from the ancient wilderness.

***************************

Niujiao Village, a remote suburb of Xibang in Rapid City.

The village chief, his family, and their guards, a total of more than a dozen people, were hiding in the temple of the Earth Goddess and shivering. This is the shelter of Niujiao Village, with solid stone walls and a 15-centimeter-thick cast-iron door. When villagers encounter irresistible dangers, they can always persist for a while as long as they take refuge in the temple.

However, the Temple of the Earth Goddess built by village chief Robert at a huge cost did not bring them much sense of security. At the foot of the statue of the goddess Siresta, the village chief's wife and his beloved slave girl looked in horror, each covering their mouths. Robert and several guards also held their breath, not daring to make a sound for fear of alarming the people wandering around the village. monster.

Heavy footsteps accompanied by the bear's roar slowly approached the direction of the temple. Village Chief Robert seemed to be able to see the terrifying monster arriving outside the temple, sniffing the smell inside through the cast iron gate.

The village chief's face was pale. He held a heavy crossbow and whispered to the guards who also had pale faces: "Don't worry, they can't get in..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom", and the whole temple shook. The dust on the beams fell rustlingly, and the beautiful wives and concubines of the village chief's family were suddenly frightened and screamed.

A trace of violence flashed in Village Chief Robert's eyes. He turned around and slapped the slave girl who screamed the loudest in the face. The woman's neck immediately broke, her head turned behind her, and she was immediately unable to scream. I saw her using trembling hands to straighten her crooked head. No woman dared to scream anymore.

The temple returned to deathly silence, but not long after, the enemy outside the house hit the door again. The iron gate groaned in pain, but it finally withstood it.

"Bang", "bang", "bang", fierce impacts one after another, in the desperate eyes of the refugees, the iron cast door bulged and deformed, and finally collapsed together with the threshold of the wall, hitting the ground heavily, causing a Soot.

A huge bear's head poked into the temple. Its body was extremely huge, and the broken temple door was only big enough for it to stick its head in and roar at the half-elf inside.

This terrifying giant beast is definitely not flesh and blood. Its body seems to be composed of black smoke, half virtual and half real. There are two burning flames in the eye sockets. It opens its bloody mouth full of fangs and lets out earth-shattering sounds. It roared and squeezed into the temple with all its strength. The solid walls burst into cracks under its strange force.

Village chief Robert and several guards took advantage of the gap where the black smoke giant bear was stuck in the door hole, and used powerful heavy crossbows and javelins to shoot at the bear's head, hoping to repel the monster. But this was meaningless. The crossbow bolts and javelins shot into the giant bear's head, without any effect. Instead, it completely angered it.

The giant bear raised its paws and slapped the wall violently. The temple shook and was about to collapse. The violent giant bear suddenly stopped hammering, and a light and sweet voice came from outside into the house: "Sugar Bowl, you knocked down the house, how can I get in?" Yes, your butt is so big, it’s time to lose weight!”

The giant bear turned into thick black smoke and rolled violently inside and outside the temple, blocking the view of Niujiao Village and others. When the billowing black smoke condensed and dispersed, they saw that the strange bear blocking the door had turned into a chubby, chubby and cute bear cub.

A graceful figure walked through the broken and deformed doorway with the wind and snow in the sky, and walked into the temple. This is a stunning girl with black hair and black eyes. She is wearing a silver-white professional suit and small leather boots with semi-heels. She has a slender figure and delicate and picturesque facial features. She is as beautiful as a ray of moonlight.

"Hi, everyone, we meet again." The beautiful girl who looked like a fairy in the forest waved her hand to Village Chief Robert and others, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you again, I am the Miracle Queen Bertina Rand. Er. Well, you can also call me Countess Randall... Oh, you are all going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter if you call me Countess."

The village chief's wife looked at Bertina with eyes full of jealousy. Her beautiful face was distorted with resentment, making her look particularly ugly. She screamed at Bertina: "You devil, we are kind enough to entertain you and give it to you." Food and a warm room, you actually killed everyone in the village. May the goddess Siresta punish you, maggots eat your face, and your face will rot..."

Robert slapped his crazy wife again, knocking her crazy wife to the ground. He turned to the girl and begged: "Mrs. Lan, please..."

"It's Countess Randall, read it after me, Lan, De, Er, countess..." Bertina's face was red, and she corrected the village chief's awkward pronunciation with some embarrassment.

"Countess Randall." The village chief said in a low voice with a sad face: "For the sake of Siresta, please be kind and spare us ignorant people."

"But you had bad intentions towards me first." Bertina was in a good mood now and said hesitantly.

The village chief felt hopeful and quickly defended: "It's all because of those ignorant villagers who covet the bounties offered by the Adventurer's Guild of Rapids...Countess Randall has already killed all the slaves who offended you. They deserve to die, but this This matter has nothing to do with us... Countess Randall, don't you want to go to the Dark Land? We can be your guide and prepare supplies for you. You see, keeping us is still useful."

Bertina tilted her head and thought for a while, looking cute and cute, and finally nodded and said: "Okay..." The village chief and others just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard her say again: "But, I have a question."

Robert assumed a humble posture, nodded and bowed and said: "You can ask, I will answer honestly."

Bertina's pink lips raised a sly smile and asked, "Don't you know you are monsters?"

The dozen or so half-elves were all stunned, with only the wind and snow echoing in the temple. After a long time, Village Chief Robert murmured: "How could we be monsters? We are residents of Niujiao Village."

Bertina looked at Robert sympathetically and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Me? I should be, maybe... 74 years old this year, right?" The young and robust village chief Robert wrinkled his forehead, and his facial expression gradually became gloomy. He shook his head, his eyes were empty, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I am not a monster. You are the monster, and you are the wanted criminal of the Disa Alliance... You are the Wolf Shepherd Witch Bertina. Where are my guards? Kill them quickly. she!"

The village chief's wife and personal pet, together with several half-elf guards, opened their mouths, revealing their sharp white canine teeth, and pounced on the delicate girl at an alarming speed.

Bertina raised her slender and white palms to cover her pink mouth and breathed out of boredom. Staggered streaks of cold silver light instantly appeared in the void, and the mutated half-elf crashed into it. His skin and flesh were immediately torn apart, and he rolled to the ground screaming miserably, with a small amount of black blood flowing out of the wound.

Psychic Flying Blade: Level 1 psionic spell, instantaneous, magic strength 1-3 breaths, very low magic power consumption, attack radius 10 meters, a total of 16 psychic fields that cause cutting damage to the target, ignoring elemental resistance, damage Effect is inversely proportional to the target's toughness.

Watch me cut you into pieces - Miracle Queen Bertina.

The psychic flying blades are not fatal to mutated half-elves, but magic attacks without warning cannot be dodged in advance. Their muscles and eyes are cut by the flying blades, temporarily losing their ability to move.

At this time, the village chief of Niujiao Village began to mutate. His swollen body squeezed through his skin and clothes, revealing the dark colloid inside, which was covered with evil patterns. It clung to the bones and squirmed like long worms with a smooth surface. . An octopus tentacle suddenly popped out from its left shoulder, dancing wildly in the air, making a crackling sound in the air.

The village chief had lost his human form. Bertina wrinkled her pretty eyebrows and said in disgust: "That's disgusting, go to hell!"

The index finger of her right hand swiped, and a semicircular arc of light gathered in the void in front of her fingertips. It lasted for several seconds and flew towards the village chief who was turning into a monster at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Psychic Slash: The promotion spell of Psychic Flying Blade, level 3, casting time 4 to 10 seconds, magic strength 6-12 breaths, average magic power consumption, attack radius 30 meters, condenses several psychic fields into one, and attacks the target Deals cutting damage, ignoring elemental resistances, and the damage effect is inversely proportional to the target's toughness. The longer the charging time of Psychic Slash is, the higher the attack power will be.

Motionless, everything in two - Miracle Queen Bertina.

The moon blade-like arc passed through a distance of more than 20 meters, and the rock statue of the Earth Goddess was severed from the middle. However, the sharp psychic slash hit the monster village chief's chest, leaving only a deep wound and unable to kill him. Cut in half.

The black colloid on the village chief's body is unimaginably tough and gives it terrifying strength and speed. Just when Bertina opened her little mouth with a look of disbelief on her face, the half-elf village chief completed the transformation. It was like a dark beast, crawling on the ground with three dancing tentacles on its back. It roared frighteningly at the girl. Its thick and recurved legs exerted force suddenly, and the stone floor collapsed instantly, with lightning speed. Pounced over.

Seeing it, Bertina was about to be torn apart by the monster's claws. The chubby little bear cub gave a sweet cry and bravely rushed towards the monster.

One of the monster's smooth tentacles fired a sonic boom like a whip, whipping the cub into a ball of thick black smoke. However, the black smoke spread instantly, wrapping up the village chief monster, and condensed into a giant bear of normal size. It was also a giant beast with a shoulder height of 2 meters and a body length of 4 meters.

The monster struggled desperately inside the giant bear's body and roared miserably. The giant bear simply lay on the ground, as if it had just had a big meal and needed to digest the food properly. The black smoke seeped into the monster's body and continued to drain its life force, making it weaker and weaker until it turned into a withered corpse.

This is a battle between demons and the undead. Although the village chief has turned into a black-blooded demon and has the strength of level 4 or above, the Miracle Queen's "sugar bowl" is a legendary level undead.

Village Chief Robert has a demonic constitution and is extremely tenacious, but he has no chance of winning against the "sugar bowl". However, it takes a lot of energy for Bertina to maintain the "sugar bowl" shape.

The other demon minions healed their wounds, regained their fighting ability, and pounced on Bertina again. They are controlled by the village chief and know that only by killing Bertina can they rescue their master.

Bertina was stunned. She seemed to hear something and suddenly let out a joyful cry. A dozen demonized half-elves felt that the sound was particularly harsh and could tear their souls apart, so they covered their ears and squatted on the ground.

Psychic scream: Level 5 psionic spell, instant cast, magic strength 10 breaths, high magic power consumption, 30 hours cooling time, attack radius 400 meters, causing double sonic and psychic damage to group targets, causing dizziness and imbalance. The effect, as well as the positive effects of excitement and fanaticism, are determined by the caster's will to determine whether the enemy is friendly or not, regardless of elemental resistance, and will be exempted from the strength of the mental barrier.

My voice is pleasant to the ear. If you don't like it, it's your loss - Miracle Queen Bertina.

"You disgusting guys, don't stop me from finding my master, just die!"

Bertina stamped her feet, and dexterously weaved various beautiful shapes with her hands, producing more than a dozen colorful magic balls out of thin air, accurately hitting every out-of-control demonized half-elf.

Chaos Sphere: Unleveled psychic spell, casting time is 4 seconds, magic strength is uncertain, magic power consumption is medium, cooling time is 80 minutes, attack radius is 50 meters, causes uncertain elemental damage to multiple targets, with the weakest element Mainly resistance, can be avoided.

Whatever you don't like, just come - Miracle Queen Bertina.

The demonized half-elf was hit by the Chaos Spell, and his body suddenly ignited with unquenchable flames. Amidst the screams, he turned into charred corpses.

"It's over, it's over. Master Victor is gone again. That place is so far away from me... No! I have to get there quickly. White bread, come here quickly, we have to leave!"

Bertina turned and ran out of the temple in Niujiao Village, turned the "sugar bowl" into a puff of black smoke, took it back into her body, and hurriedly looked for her pet mount.

She didn't notice at all that the demon village chief with a withered body fell to the ground, still squirming slowly.
