178: Invading Qin Yun's mind? Sorry, I'll swallow as many as you want!
“Qin Yun, you are truly extraordinary to be able to contract a Divine Beast within the restricted rules. No wonder you are so confident!”
“However, this is just a preliminary task, it doesn’t count for much. The truly difficult parts are the later tasks, especially the final challenge, where you will face a powerful ancient expert!”
While Daphne was pleasantly surprised by Qin Yun’s strength, she also warned him to prevent him from being overconfident and causing the mission to fail. Now, they must aim for victory with caution.
“You still know nothing about my strength. I told you, no matter how powerful the expert, within eight ranks, I can beat them all!”
Qin Yun seemed young and arrogant, but he had the capital for it. If he fought with all his might, he could truly beat any opponent within eight ranks!
“……”
Daphne shook her head helplessly. It seemed this human youth had such an 'unrivaled' personality. Well, with his strength and her guidance, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Thinking this, Daphne continued the task guidance: “You have successfully passed the preliminary task and can obtain four totem fragments. Now, take the totem fragments, and I will escort you to the ancient altar in Beast Taming Holy City!”
What?
He had to go back again?
Qin Yun felt annoyed.
It took almost a whole day to travel from Beast Taming Holy City to Ox Saint Mountain, and now he had to go back.
However, this annoying task could not be canceled, so Qin Yun could only bite the bullet and continue.
Buzz!
Four totem statues each revealed a fragment, and Qin Yun collected them all.
[Name: Totem Fragment X4]
[Category: Quest Item]
[Effect: Awaken Ancient Spirit]
“Without a powerful item like the Green Lamp to dispel the black mist, there might be some risks on the escort journey, but I will do my best to ensure your safety!”
Daphne thought about it. As long as Qin Yun remained true to himself and wasn't swayed by those guys, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Immediately.
Daphne took out a quest item, similar to the Green Lamp, which could dispel black mist, but its effect was slightly weaker than the Green Lamp. The mysterious existences in the black mist could use mental responses to tempt Qin Yun.
“What is this black mist? What dangerous creatures are hidden inside?”
Leaving Ox Saint Mountain, Qin Yun couldn't help but ask.
“Hmm? You know there are dangerous creatures in the black mist?”
“I sensed them!”
Gasp!
This time, Daphne was truly stunned.
These “dangerous creatures” were not something a seventh-rank Beast Tamers could sense, not even any deity could!
What kind of BUG was Qin Yun?
He could even sense this?
“Sorry! I cannot disclose anything beyond the mission. Remember, if you hear any voices, do not respond. Those are dangerous creatures trying to tempt you. Once you respond, they will invade your mind and control your actions, and I will find it very difficult to guarantee your safety!”
No sooner had Daphne finished speaking than she heard Qin Yun shout at the black mist: “Scram!”
“……”
Daphne was dumbfounded.
What was happening?
You responded already?
Do you have to be so troublesome?
But to Daphne’s surprise, Qin Yun was not tempted. Instead, the “guys” in the black mist seemed to have truly retreated.
“This!!!”
Daphne was almost frantic. This situation was not what she had anticipated!
“What just happened?”
Daphne couldn't help but ask.
“A guy said I was handsome and extraordinary, and wanted to take me as a servant, promising me 1 million gold coins daily as a servant fee. I told it to scram. It thinks it can take me as a servant for 1 million gold coins? It's dreaming!”
“……”
“It didn't invade your mind? Control you?”
“It did!”
“And then?”
“My destined Beast swallowed its spiritual consciousness in one bite!”
“……”
This kind of mental invasion, the invading power is consistent with the invaded target. Simply put, when invading the mind, the presented level is the same.
Naturally!
Golden Niu could swallow the opponent's invading spiritual consciousness in one bite, no matter how heaven-defying the opponent was, it was useless. It was scared away.
At this moment, Daphne increasingly felt that the potential of the human youth before her was immeasurable. The mental invasions of these guys, let alone at the same level, were difficult to resist even a few levels higher.
But you swallowed the opponent's spiritual consciousness in one bite?
Is this not too exaggerated?
She had never heard of any Beast Skill that could even devour mental invasions.
At this time,
Qin Yun saw that there were more “dangerous creatures” chattering at him, so he had to shout loudly at the surrounding black mist: “Don’t you just want to tempt me? I'll respond to all of you, come on! All of you, come and invade my mind, and see how I abuse you all to death!”
Boom!
Facing the provocation of a seventh-rank Beast Tamers rookie, this group of dangerous creatures in the darkness was collectively enraged. They jointly formed a mental storm and invaded Qin Yun’s mind.
At this moment.
Countless dark monsters emerged in Qin Yun’s mental world, their faces ferocious, screaming wildly.
But when Golden Niu’s mental shadow appeared, the colossal and majestic golden toad body instantly intimidated this group of dangerous creatures.
“Gulp! Oh no! How can this human kid’s destined Beast have such mental deterrence?”
“What are you afraid of? We have the numerical advantage, let’s destroy this golden toad!”
But the next second.
Golden Niu opened its mouth, and a terrifying devouring force covered Qin Yun’s mental world. At the same time, all the spiritual consciousnesses of the dangerous creatures that invaded Qin Yun’s mind were collectively devoured completely.
Spiritual consciousness damaged!
This would affect one’s own spirit, thereby leading to a loss of strength!
It was like a normal person who hadn’t slept for a long time, feeling very tired, unable to exert full strength, and in severe cases, even falling into madness.
They were all collectively stunned.
“Stop invading this human kid’s mind! His destined Beast is not right!”
In an instant,
The dangerous creatures in the black mist collectively retreated.
Daphne was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Qin Yun. Even if she didn't believe it, she had to believe that Qin Yun's destined Beast could truly counter these dangerous creatures’ mental invasions.
“Stop looking, let’s continue on our way!”
Qin Yun smiled handsomely.
“……”
Daphne could only escort Qin Yun to Beast Taming Holy City with great ease.
“This task seems so easy…”
Daphne whispered to herself.
Of course.
She knew very well that it wasn't that the task was simple, but that Qin Yun was somewhat abnormal.
The two quickly arrived at the location of the ancient altar in the city.
This altar had not been activated, its effect was unknown, but it had existed for a very long time.
“Go to the center of the altar and first use the white totem fragment. This will randomly summon an ancient wisdom spirit. You only need to answer three questions it asks, and you can obtain a quest item!”
“If you answer incorrectly, a powerful BOSS will appear and attack you. Remember, you only have three chances to answer incorrectly. If you make a mistake a fourth time, your mission will be deemed a failure!”
Daphne reminded him.
“Answering questions? This ancient task is really peculiar. Does it mean that ancient Beast Tamers experts are not only powerful but also need to be cultured?!”
Qin Yun had no choice but to use the white totem fragment to see what the questions were.
Buzz!
The white totem fragment transformed into spiritual light and merged into the altar.
Immediately.
A graceful ancient spirit appeared. Its appearance caused an ice and snow anomaly, which was very shocking!
“Oh no! How could it randomly be Scholar Snow? This is troublesome. Her questions are ones that even many big shots might not be able to answer.”
Daphne’s expression turned grim.
She only hoped that after Qin Yun answered incorrectly three times, he would have enough gold coins to buy the answers. The task prompt stated that if he answered incorrectly three times, it would trigger the “Knowledge is Money” effect, allowing him to spend gold coins to buy answers!
