The fierce Mingyue Ye jumped up from the ground and grabbed Amon's arm. His sharp claws cut through his clothes and tore several gaps in the snake-scale soft armor inside. Amon punched Amon on the shoulder, and the transformed Mingyue Ye was able to receive his punch forcefully. With a painful roar in his throat, he lowered his head and bit Amon's hand.
Amon barely avoided it with a wave of his hand, and flicked his fingers on his chin. The force of this bullet was enough to smash the tough boulder. Even if it was an ordinary beast, its head would be smashed into meat paste. Hearing a click, Ming Yueye's jaw dislocated, and he was able to tilt backwards with an extremely fast reaction, rolling in the air and falling into the water.
The water splashed up, and it seemed to be wiped out suddenly by a giant hand, and the calmness returned strangely, and his breath disappeared in the mud at the bottom of the water. Amon didn't chase into the water full of strange trees. Standing by the water, his joints made a series of crisp sounds, and the pervasive manic aura slowly disappeared.
Amon will also use similar violent power, learned from John's experience, but never used it before. Although that kind of berserk state can improve speed and explosive power, it also has obvious flaws, which makes people become fierce and even lose their minds. Amon can control nature without losing his mind, but it will also affect the subtle sensing of the detection magic, and limit the use of mana in a wide range.
Back then when he faced Enkidu on the battlefield, he was not as strong as he is today, and he didn't understand how to master and control this state, but today he met such a difficult opponent, so he simply fought back. Ming Yueye obviously understood the characteristics of this manic state, knowing that Amon's entry into the state would affect the detection of the divine spell, and when he fled, he dived into the water and hid his whereabouts.
With the speed of Mingyueye, he might have escaped far away and hid in such a short period of time. Amon groaned inwardly, it's a pity, it's very difficult to find this assassin out in this black fire swamp, if only Yunmeng was here, if there was that armored beast king at his side, Mingyue Ye would definitely not be able to escape just now Lose. As he was thinking about this, Amon suddenly moved his eyebrows slightly as if he had noticed something, and raised his head and shouted: "Who is it!"
A low voice spread far in the night sky, and a person in midair replied, "God Amon, it's me!"
Amon frowned slightly: "John, didn't I want you and Link to wait at the edge of the swamp? How did you come in?"
John flew down on the hillside, retracted the flying shuttle and saluted: "Link and I built a fortress checkpoint on the edge of the black fire forest according to your instructions. You should arrive by the time, but you have not seen you walking out of the swamp for a long time. Come out, so I came here specially to respond. Just now I heard the sound of fierce fighting in the distance, so I drove the shuttle to speed up... Hey, what's going on here, is there a large army fighting?"
This hillside is in a mess, the bushes and rocks have all been leveled, who can make such a big movement? Amon shook his head and said: "The time I said is within a month, and it will be a month after three days. I rested on the road for three days, which is a bit slower than the expected time. As for this place, of course, it is impossible for the army to come , It’s just that an assassin came.”
John was taken aback, pulled out his sword, looked around and said, "Assassin! Where is it? How dare you assassinate you!"
Amon waved his hand and said: "Don't look for it, he has already escaped with injuries. This man is indeed quite courageous, and he claims to be the King of Assassins in the Tianshu Continent. You came just in time. I was thinking about the situation related to this assassin. Talk to you."
Amona told John about the assassination just now, and after listening to John, he took a breath and said, "This man is so powerful, but it's a pity that he met you, God Amon, and he suffered a big loss this time, probably at least for several months." Can't show up."
Amon said "Oh": "He failed to succeed in two sneak attacks, and then he fought me hard. The berserk state feels very familiar. The first time I thought, I thought of you back then."
John blinked his eyes and said, "Are you trying to say—if I hadn't been guided by you back then, my manic power would have been out of control, and I would have become like him if I continued to practice?"
Amon shook his head lightly: "No, if you can't control it, you will eventually lose your mind. It's hard to say whether you can survive, let alone continue to cultivate to such a high level. I think this person is similar to you back then, too. Awakened the manic power, but received another kind of guidance."
John frowned, "What kind of guidance?"
Amon pondered and said: "It is to teach him how to control and use this power to make it more and more powerful, while keeping calm and sober at ordinary times. This person is on a different path from you, and he is dedicated to pursuing this power , to a certain level, it can even change shape."
John frowned: "Who can guide him to practice like this?"
Amon thought for a while, then suddenly sneered and said, "I have learned from your experience that you can also enter that berserk state, limit some other abilities, and greatly increase your speed and explosive power in a short period of time. This is my It can only be done after having endless nine-level achievements, but this person is dedicated to this kind of cultivation. The person who can guide him to do this must be no less successful than me at this time. The assassin claims to be the messenger of the gods, I guess In all likelihood, it was Enlil who sent him, and the person who guided him should also be Enlil."
John asked puzzledly: "Why did Enlil guide him to cultivate this kind of power, and he turned into a monster in the end?"
Amon asked back: "What do you say?"
As soon as John changed his mind, he slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "I see! Enlil guides Mingyue Ye not because he wants him to become a god beyond immortality one day, but to cultivate a terrible killer."
Amon nodded and said: "I think the goddess Amart of the Enlightenment Department of Anuna guided the nine powerful monsters back then, and the purpose may be the same. But I know both the Scorpion King and the Lion King, and what they practice is still the real source. Strength, Amart taught them these, but let them practice on their own, and did not give hints to truly transcend eternal life, but in the end this road still leads to the right end.
But Enlil did something even better, he just instructed Ming Yueye how to control and cultivate that berserk power, so as to cultivate a terrifying monster killer. In fact, I can do these things now, but since I am guiding disciples, no matter what talents they have, they must also point out where the confirmed path leads to, rather than an unknown lost path. "
John sighed: "God Amon, I'm lucky to have met you! Now that I think about it, I feel scared. Based on my personal experience to infer that moonlit night, maybe he enjoyed this kind of guidance."
Amon also sighed: "Yeah, maybe he doesn't think it's lost, because there are indeed unexpected gains. You said just now that he won't show up again for at least a few months. Why are you so sure?"
John smiled: "I have experienced it myself, and of course I understand it very well. Although I don't know why he transformed, but if you overuse that violent power, you will become very weak afterwards. He has been fighting with you for so long, Tossing this mountain like this is still defeated, and your shoulders and jaws were dislocated by you. Once you recover from the berserk state, you will feel double the pain and weakness. If it were me, it would take at least half a year. With a complete recovery, he was lucky to escape a life just now."
Amon breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that he can't shoot frequently without limit, otherwise it would be too scary. In fact, I think the most dangerous part of him is not the violent transformation, but the sudden transformation when he is calm. Assassination."
John laughed out loud, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said, "God Amon, this place is far away from human habitation, so he can transform into a violent force without any fear, otherwise how could an assassin make such a big move?" You can't openly turn into a monster to show off. And today is when he is the most powerful, and he is still not your opponent. Instead, he exposed his secret methods. You will also use that power, but after all, you are not alone I have more experience in awakening and cultivating it specifically, it is an irrepressible restlessness, like a strong desire shock, which changes with the environment, and is strongest when the moon is at its fullest."
Amon narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that he has been hiding for a long time. This Black Fire Swamp is not a good place to recuperate."
At this time, a cloud in the sky covered the moonlight, darkness enveloped the swamp, the surrounding wind blew up, rustling sounds came from all directions, as if there were countless invisible dangers lurking, and the jungle looked particularly gloomy.
John said, "What about Yunmeng? If the assassin hasn't escaped, Yunmeng may be able to find him. Now is the time when he is at his weakest."
Amon: "When I mentioned Yunmeng, I was a little worried, and I don't know how bad the assassin's injuries were? Judging by his stealth speed when he escaped, he might be able to persist. This person's sneak attack is hard to guard against. When he is the strongest, you None of them are opponents. Yunmeng has exhausted his strength and is resting and recovering, and only Raphael is protecting him. Since you are here, do one thing, drive the shuttle and rush to Yunmeng immediately, and remind Raphael to be more careful. Wait until After Yunmeng recovers, the three of you walk out of this road together, be careful not to leave anyone alone. If Yunmeng can find traces of Mingyueye on the road, let's work together to take this person down."
…
The young great magician Raphael stayed in the swamp to rest on a hill in the forest, protecting the exhausted Ironclad Beastmaster Yunmeng. When Yunmeng was meditating, she would always lie on her stomach with her tail bent. In the boundless swamp, there were only the two of them, chatting together when they had nothing to do.
Yunmeng has never been to places other than the Youdi River Valley and the Duke Plain. Like Link back then, she is very curious about various things in the bustling world outside. Raphael was born in a noble lineage, received the best education on the mainland, and experienced many things under the training of Ge Lie. Yunmeng was very interested in everything he said, and always pestered Raphael to tell stories when he was free.
When he was with Amon, Yunmeng didn't dare to do this, because he was in awe of Amon like a god, and naturally he was not easy to inquire about, but he was much more casual in front of Raphael. Rafael is very well-mannered and patient. No matter what childish and ridiculous questions Yunmeng asks him, he will answer them in detail, sometimes like coaxing a child. The conversation between the two is not to speak, but to communicate directly in the soul using a method similar to information magic.
After Amon left, it rained in the swamp for two days, and it finally cleared up on the third night. The soft moonlight sprinkled on the hillside, and there were still drops of water hanging between the grass leaves. Yunmeng lay beside the tent and sighed: "What a beautiful moonlight, dimly illuminated. It's strange to say that I have seen the moon so many times in the mountains before." , but I have never had this feeling, and I have not found its beauty.”
Sitting in the tent, Raphael smiled and said, "I never thought that the Iron Armored Beast would also appreciate the moon. Is this because of the activation of spiritual intelligence? I am very curious about your situation, can you tell me what it feels like to activate the spiritual intelligence? How is it different from the iron-clad beast in the past?"
Yunmeng replied with some embarrassment: "I'll tell you, don't laugh at me."
Raphael narrowed his eyes and sternly said, "Okay, I don't laugh."
Looking at the moon, Yunmeng replied in a daze: "At first I was an iron-clad beast, but later it became different from other iron-clad beasts. I don't know how it happened. Anyway, it is stronger and more powerful. There is also a magical instinct. Looking back now, the so-called enlightenment of the spiritual wisdom, for me, may be the earliest—fantasy."
Raphael asked puzzled, "Fantasy?"
Yunmeng replied shyly: "Yes, I have learned to fantasize. An armored beast can also fantasize for no reason. It's ridiculous, right? I don't know when, I realized my own existence, and I also understood my own existence. What does it have, how is it different from other armored beasts."
Raphael said: "There is self-awareness in the soul? Is this the enlightenment of spiritual wisdom?"
Yunmeng shook her head lightly: "I can't say that. Other creatures in the world, including armored beasts, have self-awareness, but the situation of opening their spiritual intelligence is even more special. From then on, I will imagine that I can't get it." Things that an iron armored beast cannot have. For example, when I saw birds flying by in the water pool, I would think about it—can I fly one day? If I could fly like a bird, what would it feel like?"
Raphael: "Have you learned to think?"
Yunmeng: "At that time, it couldn't be called thinking. My mind was just some simple thoughts. I couldn't think of organizing these thoughts with the meaning of language like this. It was just a fantasy beyond my actual existence. How to describe it? Like they say—daydreaming."
Raphael: "How does it feel to learn to imagine?"
Yunmeng blinked her eyes and said: "It feels very good, it is a joy that I have never experienced before! For example, when I imagine flying like a bird, it is not because I can actually fly, but because I imagine myself flying like a bird." hapiness."
Raphael asked with great interest: "At that time, did you notice the change in yourself?"
Yunmeng: "I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back now, I am indeed changing. Iron armored beasts live in caves by the water, as long as they can survive comfortably and forage for food every day to eat enough, they will not do anything else. But I am different, I build the cave more and more spacious, more spacious than necessary for habitat, and I also like to collect some things to decorate my cave, which is something that other armored beasts will not do at all.
There are also some habits that have changed, and I have found pleasure in the behavior of the instinct, and made it out of the instinct. For example, after the iron-clad beast is full, it will stop looking for food, and an iron-clad beast as big as me will sometimes hunt and kill some animals in the mountains and forests. With my ability, I don't have to worry about not having enough food in the mountains and forests, but sometimes I find that chasing prey is more interesting than catching prey. So when I am bored, I will also chase the prey, which is beyond the need of pure eating, and I just think it is fun. I heard you say that the nobles in the world also hunt, but it's not because they lack food. Is this similar to my situation? "
Raphael sighed and said: "You mean the hunting of the nobles. They are indeed not hunters for their livelihood, but just for fun. If this is the case with the enlightenment of spiritual wisdom, it is actually a double-edged sword and a disaster. Blessing is unknown. You didn’t know the meaning of hunting at that time, you just experienced the fun of hunting. If you indulge in unlimited indulgence and even run into the world, you will be regarded as a terrifying monster or demon. I was ordered to destroy that monsters that harassed the villages of Hatti Kingdom."
Yunmeng shivered in fright and said, "Fortunately, I just met you now."
Rafael apologized slightly: "I won't interrupt you, please continue."
Yunmeng lowered her head and said, "I have nothing to say, I want to hear from you."
Raphael turned his head and said, "What do you want to hear from me?"
Yunmeng said in a low voice: "It's the situation I just mentioned. What do you think? People are more imaginative than armored beasts, and they are born with the same behavior as monsters or demons. What do you think?" What do you think? Among the people I know, besides God Amon, you are the most knowledgeable, please tell me, okay?"
Raphael also looked up at the moon and said: "Scholars in the world often discuss this issue. Some people think that fantasy is one of the origins of human nature, because it always transcends the reality of its own situation. Just like an iron-clad beast, it will hope that you can Fly like a bird. Its meaning and pleasure are not in the flight itself, but in the hope of flying. Therefore, people need gods in their hearts. into people's hearts."
Yunmeng blinked when she heard this: "Where did you learn this?"
Raphael smiled slightly: "Of course it's Hattie Academy of Theology. I have received various trainings there since I was a child. My teacher Gelie is now the chief honorary veteran there."
Yunmeng said in a tone of admiration: "I won't interrupt you, please continue."
Raphael continued: "Someone once said that fantasy always surpasses reality. It is not because you can get it and you dream it, but because you know you can't get it so you have expectations, just like you know you can't fly but hope Can fly. An ironclad doesn't dream of crawling in swamps, because you can.
Some people are immersed in daydreams to experience the joy of dreams, while others are constantly approaching their dreams. This is the change in the world since ancient times. Many people think that having what they want is the greatest happiness in the world, but if they can really get what they want, they don't care about happiness anyway. "
Yun Meng tilted her head and interjected, "I don't quite understand."
