After hearing what Huang Jian said, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi also realized that the situation here was indeed very wrong. The behavior of these monsters was not the same as what they knew in their daily lives.
During a beast tide, high-level monsters will provide support from behind, using their own level of power to intimidate and force the lower-level monsters to live in peace.
However, even so, these low-level monsters find it difficult to perform overly complex behaviors. Most of them can only make simple attack judgments and clearly identify humans as the first target of attack.
After leaving the control range of high-level monsters, the binding force between these low-level monsters will weaken. Although they will not fight each other, they will at least not engage in highly intelligent behaviors such as coordinated ambush operations.
Ye Li initially suspected that these monsters were controlled by someone's soul-walking spell, just like the beast tides he had encountered in the past. However, after observing them carefully for a while, he felt that these monsters were different from the monsters he had encountered in the past.
While he was wondering, Tunri's voice suddenly rang out, saying, "Ye Li, these monsters are parasitized by soul-controlling insects, and their behavior is completely controlled by the soul-controlling insects.
As long as you can kill these soul-controlling insects, these monsters will be free from control.
They are of different species, and some are hostile to each other. Once they get out of control, it will be difficult for them to work together, and then your danger will be much smaller."
Hearing Tunri's words, Ye Li was slightly stunned. He had no idea what the soul-controlling insect that Tunri was talking about was.
Confused, Ye Li said, "Senior Tunri, what exactly are these soul-controlling insects you mentioned? Where are they hiding?"
Tunri said: "The Soul Controlling Bug is a pseudo-virtual god stage demon beast. Except for the mother body which has the pressure of the real virtual god stage, the other offspring are extremely weak.
However, although these sub-bodies are weak in body, their souls are very strong. They possess the power of soul movement and can control the actions of other monsters with the power of their souls.
These offspring are all controlled by the same mother body. Because the mother body has to control the actions of so many offspring at the same time, it has almost no ability to move or fight.
The only way it can protect itself is to use its offspring to gather a large number of other kinds of monsters to fight for it, otherwise it will only be eaten by humans.
That is why this kind of monster is called Pseudo-Virtual God Stage, because they actually do not have the strength of the Virtual God Stage at all. At most, they can only release the pressure of the Virtual God Stage to help control the monsters below the Virtual God Stage.
The monsters behind you are almost the limit of what a soul-controlling insect can control, and the soul-controlling insect's sub-body is hiding behind the brain of that subterranean lizard."
After Tunri quickly explained the soul-controlling insect to Ye Li, he told Ye Li the location of the soul-controlling insect's body.
Ye Li was desperately trying to escape at this time and had no time to look at the monsters, but fortunately he still had the power of spiritual awareness. He scanned the monsters not far from him and immediately found the soul-controlling insect hidden behind the brain of a burrowing lizard.
The offspring of the soul-controlling insect is only the size of a palm and looks like a beetle, with a gray-black body.
After careful feeling, Ye Li could also sense waves of soul power from it. It seemed that just as Tunri said, this soul-controlling insect was using the soul power to control the actions of other monsters.
At this time, these monsters, under the control of the soul-controlling insects, have begun to form an encirclement formation. The fast ones are responsible for flanking from both sides, trying to get in front of the three people to stop them.
The eight monsters were like a big bag, covering the three people from behind.
"Ye Li, try to attack the subterranean lizard behind you."
Seeing that the encirclement was gradually approaching them, Tunri spoke to Ye Li.
Ye Li had absolute trust in Tunri. Upon hearing its words, Ye Li did not even think twice. He opened his hands to the left and right, and threw out a series of nine-character five-character Flame Dragon Ascension Talismans.
Although the level of this talisman is not high, it has very strong concealment.
The biggest feature of this talisman is that the number of talismans released at the same time is much higher than that of ordinary talismans.
For ordinary talismans, Ye Li would be lucky if he could control three to four at the same time. The number of low-level talismans could barely be more, but it would be difficult to exceed six.
However, Ye Li can control about ten of these talismans that lurk underground and will not be activated immediately at the first sight, and they can be released at the same time.
After all, this kind of talisman is completely in the rune state during the stage where it requires human control and has not yet been activated.
However, once they are activated, there is no need to control them, just activate the power. This two-step process allows the talisman master to control them in large quantities at the same time.
Ye Li shot with both hands, his hand speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he threw out eight flame dragons that rose up and buried them under the ground he just passed.
A moment after he ran over, the subterranean lizard stepped forward and rushed into the group of talismans he had just thrown.
At this moment, eight half purple and half white fire dragons rushed up from the ground and bombarded the underground lizard.
The intense fire stream flowed along the body of the subterranean lizard and burned towards the back of its head, and was about to burn the soul-controlling insect.
The body of the soul-controlling insect is much weaker than that of an ordinary monster. Even if Ye Li only used low-level talismans, once the number increases, the power will be considerable.
Even the subterranean lizard, an earth-dwelling monster known for its defensive capabilities, instantly had burnt marks on its body.
After all, the power of the talisman is not only limited by its own level, but also affected by the strength of the talisman master. With Ye Li's current purity and strength of the talisman root, the eight talismans released by him are no weaker than some nine-character talismans when combined.
Feeling the threat to its life, the soul-controlling insect body controlled the submerged lizard and suddenly leaped up from the ground, avoiding the continued impact of the flames.
Moreover, a huge amount of earth-based spiritual energy suddenly condensed on the body of the submerged lizard, forming a thick layer of rock armor around it.
The power of the rock armor instantly suppressed the entangling flames, protecting the soul-controlling insect body from being harmed by the flames.
But after the danger just now, the soul-controlling insect body did not dare to chase so closely anymore. It controlled several monsters next to it to slow down the pace of chasing the three people and quickly moved towards it.
"Ye Li, quickly use the Soul Walking Spell to deal with the Soul Controlling Bug's offspring.
Although it is a rare insect-like monster with a very strong soul power, it relies on the power of soul movement to control other monsters. If you use the soul movement spell to attack it, it will definitely cause a certain degree of interference to it and make its control power ineffective! "
Tunri's voice sounded again, directing Ye Li to carry out the next battle plan.
