Infinite Throne

  Chapter 458 "So, who am I?" (6500 word chapter for monthly ticket)

  【Blessing of the Spearmen】, can be regarded as one of Yilin's current precious cards.

   With the addition of the Spearman's blessing, Yilin's luck value will break through the lower limit, once again making [Echo of Doom], a self-understanding lower limit skill, light up on the Apostle panel.

   But after using the blessing of the spearman, there is a process of "luck gradually decreasing".

  This process cannot be done overnight, which is one of the reasons why Yiren didn't use his hole cards for the first time...

   The firmness of that cocoon is beyond imagination.

   "Maybe my stats are still too low."

The power and casting distance of   【Grip of Oblivion】are related to strength, agility, and mental attributes.

   can't be killed, it can only be said that he is too weak.

   Can't blame skills.

   But from this you can also see how hard the cocoon is. It is terrifying to be able to eat the [Grip of Oblivion] under the normal state of three shots and not die.

  This is just a cocoon!

   followed Irin and took out the card.

   He seemed to feel a cold gaze coming from inside the cocoon.

   I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

   But Yi Rin always vaguely felt that the monster in the cocoon was obviously not born in this world, but through the cocoon, he could clearly understand everything outside the cocoon.

  In the ruins, the sand and soil raised by the collapse of the building flew up, and it has not yet subsided.

   The distorted insects, with the help of human skeletons, stood up again and assembled into a more terrifying and ferocious posture, which was slightly sturdy in the sand and dust.

   "The Body of Ten Deaths" has been broken.

   In just a few seconds, Yilin seemed to have experienced ten deaths, and he was battered by tentacles and insect tides, and he sent a wave to the cocoon.

   But it's useless.

   Accompanied by the rapid recovery of the injuries in the body and the body surface, waves of exhaustion hit, making Irin a little weak in his legs.

   "Boom-"

  The ground shook.

   With the vibration, the dust that had already covered the surface of the ruins fell again with the vibration, and was shaken up again.

  In the distance, all the bugmen are gathering here!

   Sure enough.

   As Irin speculated, the value of the insects entrenched around them is to protect the existence of the "cocoon". In the cocoon, their "king" is bred. Even if they die, they will do everything they can to block Yilin and others, so that their king can be born smoothly.

   From the perspective of the bugs, it seems that they are the victims.

   They are not wrong, they are purely for survival, evolution and foraging.

   But are humans wrong?

   In this race of species, there is no absolute difference between the human side and the monster side, the invader and the guardian.

  This world is not a world that belongs to humans alone.

but…

   From the perspective of humans, these bugs must die!

  Irin's eyes narrowed, when he was about to activate [Blessing of the Spearmen].

   Mutation suddenly occurred.

  A palm appeared silently beside Irin, and pressed Irin's wrist with a snap.

  Irin was about to crush the card, and instantly froze in place with horror in his eyes.

Do not know why.

   At the moment when that hand appeared.

The time around    seemed to stand still, and several tentacles covered with mouthparts also stopped strangely in mid-air, so that Irin could finally see the true face of the tentacles completely. It's really clear... Irin can even tell the tender meat in the mouthpiece that has stopped wriggling, and how many rows of teeth it has.

   "Oh, it's not the time yet."

  In an instant, Yilin's back was cold and her scalp was numb.

   He is now deep into the enemy's hinterland, but he maintains a state of "perception", and everything around him should not be able to escape Irin's perception.

  But even if Yilin didn't turn her head to see who the hand came from, she felt that there was nothing there, no one, let alone any creature.

  Whose hand?

   The point is… who?

   If it is Yiren's enemy, he can get in touch with Yiren at zero distance without Yiren noticing it. This stealth ability is even more terrifying than Yiren.

   Besides, in the real world at present, Irin basically does not have an enemy who kills him inexplicably.

   Those who can become Irin's enemies are already dead.

   or you haven't messed with it yet.

   That voice smiled, still holding Irin's hand. But Irin's hand was being held down, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

   "I'm the one who can never appear in front of you,"

"So,"

"who I am?"

   is the voice of a man.

  The voice line is vague and ethereal, as if it came from a distant place, or from the ear.

   After the man finished speaking, the hand disappeared without a trace in an instant, without the slightest bit of defense, Yi Rin blinked, and his fingers moved again, as if everything just now was an illusion.

  Irin turned her head.

   Sure enough, there was no one around.

After the    fingers were able to move, Yi Rin frowned, and before he had time to savor the weird scene just now, the surrounding insect tide rushed towards Yi Rin again. This time, the density of the insect tide was beyond imagination. The crazy squeaking insects overlapped inside and outside into a wave without gaps, a full ten meters high.

   "Horrrrrrrrrrrr—"

  Beyond the smoke, there was the roar of the Nightmare engine.

Yi Rin's heart moved, while thinking about the identity and purpose of the man just now, facing the growing insect tide, Yi Rin pondered for about half a second, then temporarily put away the [Blessing of the Spearman] and activated it again The ability of [Shadow Kill] turned into a shadow and moved quickly out of the smoke.

   "Impulse."

In the    shadow state, Irin reflected while moving in the direction of Nightmare.

  Ever since he started fighting with the army of bugmen, Yilin has maintained the ability of [Walking with Shadows] and [Shadow Killing] throughout the whole process, keeping close behind Mo Rendi. Although Yilin's current spiritual attributes are about to "break the lock", plus the upper limit of psionic power brought by the epic title, the consumption of maintaining skills can almost be ignored.

   But that's "almost" too.

   Ps are still slowly decreasing.

The continuous consumption of    skills exceeds the natural recovery rate of psionic energy. As long as these two skills are maintained, Irin's psionic energy will always be consumed.

   has been consumed all the way up to now, Yi Rin not only summoned Nie Hongxiu, but also used the [Grip of Oblivion] to shoot three shots at the cocoon. Now his psionic energy is only about 30% left, which is in jeopardy. Even if he really used the effect of [Blessing of the Spearman] to re-awaken [Echo of Doom], he still didn't have enough psionic energy to squander it.

   The output methods of the spiritual side apostles are almost always based on the premise of sufficient psionic energy.

   That hand, that person reminded himself that "it's not time yet", could that be what he meant?

   seems to be a bit wrong.

   As for the following riddle…

   Well, a riddle?

correct!

   That is a riddle!

  Irin suddenly opened his mouth wide, and there was a thud in his head.

   At this moment, the same sentence kept echoing in his mind.

  —“So, who am I?”

  …

  …

   "It's the master!"

   Nightmare finally dared to speak.

  A figure quickly walked out of the smoke.

   Relying on the connection with the master, Nightmare immediately sensed the appearance of Irene and hurriedly reminded. It was afraid of Oda Mai's obstructed vision, so he was happy to chop, and he cut a knife in the inside.

   Sure enough.

  Oda Mai noticed that someone was coming from the depths before Nightmare made a sound, and raised the knife slightly. But before he could cut it out, Dire's instrument panel flashed, a red warning was issued, and a warm reminder was sent out through the sound element.

   After hesitating for a moment, Oda Mai's slightly raised sword fell back to its original place.

"Walk!"

  Irin pushed Oda Mai behind her back and looked back. Oda Mai has actually activated the ability to enchant the weapon, and his arms are full of cuts made by himself, dripping with blood.

   As for how to distinguish... Oda Mai's knife marks and the scars left by the monsters are still easy to identify.

  Oda Mai sat silently behind Irin.

  Yi Rin twisted the accelerator, the Nightmare screamed, bursting out with amazing momentum, and turned around in place with a bang, moving away from the center.

Just after the front wheel of the Nightmare left, the dust floating in the air was suddenly swept away by a wave of insects nearly 20 meters away, and countless tentacles were chasing behind the Nightmare, as if they were going to kill the Nightmare. Pull it back and turn it into food for the bugs!

   But even the Nightmare under normal conditions cannot catch up with the Insect Tide after gaining real speed. No matter how terrifying the worm tide is, it is also composed of worms. If the speed of the worms can really catch up with the Dire, which is a Cybertron motorcycle, then the destruction of the world is not so far away.

  Irin and Oda Mai squeezed into the same seat bag, and they didn't dislike it. When driving the Nightmare to leave the cocoon at a distance of about 500 meters, the insect tide and tentacles that were chasing the Nightmare Chrysanthemum suddenly stopped and slowly shrank back.

   "Five hundred meters."

  Irin quickly judged the safe distance and looked forward.

   Zhao Yulong, Yu Meng, Lu Hou, Mo Rendi, Gu Sinan and the others all walked towards this side quickly. Behind them, there were a group of official members of the special group.

   Above his head, armed helicopters circled, but they did not dare to approach.

The power of the long-range attack of the tentacles, the reservists on the helicopter, looking down from a high altitude, can see more clearly... The attack range is too terrifying, making them feel that this advanced armed helicopter is not like a weapon, but like their coffin, or The kind that is shared by a whole cabin.

   "Hu...hu...hu...Is it stolen?"

   Zhao Yulong, who was carrying a "hundred-ton heavy hammer", gasped for breath to ask when Yi Rin came to an emergency stop in front of him.

   Yi Rin didn't answer Zhao Yulong immediately, but his eyes fell on Mo Rendi.

  Mo Rendi had a blood-stained wound on his shoulder, and his jet-black armor was slightly damaged, apparently it was only a slight scratch. But... Mo Rendi was still injured.

  I believe others have seen it too.

   may not dare to ask more.

  Irin alerted everyone about the existence of the cocoon while being alert to the movements of the insects 500 meters away.

   "Cocoon!?"

   Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng looked at each other.

   The conclusion that they were most unwilling to see, but had already deduced, really came true.

   "You actually played this trick for Lao Tzu? Do you really think you've evolved into a butterfly?"

   Zhao Yulong couldn't help but scolded in a low voice to hide the panic in his heart.

After   Yu Meng digested the information given by Yi Rin, he raised his head to look at Yi Rin and asked, "You destroyed that cocoon?"

  In the data, Irin is a terrible spirit side with a wide range of AOE skills. In Litai City, the mutilated Chimera corpse made the professionals in the special group conduct a detailed analysis and reasoning about Irin's abilities. Combining the information, Yu Meng quickly thought of the key.

   His implication is that you obviously have a wide range of AOE abilities, why didn't you destroy that cocoon?

   Yi Rin looked at Yu Meng and looked at her, her expression a little more depressed.

   He opened the apostle panel and looked at the number in the "Psionic Value" column: 431.

   "Not blue enough."

   In front of Mo Rendi, Yi Rin uttered the "slang words" among the apostles.

  Irin's answer is reasonable.

   Yu Meng's expression softened a little.

   Zhao Yulong suddenly understood.

  Irin's files are clearly recorded and plain.

According to the frequency like a big aunt, the trial once a month, even if the evaluation of Yi Rin in each trial is ridiculously high, it is already amazing to be able to advance to the second or even the third order in a short period of time. . Being able to draw a wide range of output skills in the trial can be called the treatment of smoke from the ancestral grave, but it is impossible to get rid of the shortcomings of the spiritual side of the apostle in terms of psionic energy in a short time.

   And, as we all know, the more powerful the skill, the more psionic value it consumes.

far away.

  The twisted bugs formed a high wall, and surrounded the cocoon, which seemed to have the smell of a deadly battle with humans.

  The countless tentacles, from a distance, look like a mimosa, swaying slowly.

The    is covered with ferocious mouthparts, reflecting the sparkling white light in the sun, which is extremely terrifying.

   "Let's all come over."

   Yu Meng glanced at Mo Rendi's shoulder, then quickly looked away. She was not stingy either. After the others gathered towards Yu Meng, Yu Meng once again took out a prop that could restore psionic energy in a range. On top of everyone's heads, a light rain fell, nourishing the body and mind.

  Oda Mai, as a melee apostle, has no need for psionic energy. She lowered her head, and had already put away the "defeated warrior spirit" behind her back. She boredly used her small leather shoes covered with bug slurries, and used the toes of her shoes to dig at the worms piled up on the ground to pass the time.

   "Ten minutes, action in ten minutes."

   Yu Meng's face was sinking like water. After telling the time limit for action, he looked at Mo Rendi again, as if waiting for Mo Rendi to make a decision.

"Can."

  Mo Rendi put his hands on his back, closed his eyes and rested himself, and spit out a word from his mouth, which sounded like iron.

   Got Mo Rendi's approval, and everyone else knew it at the same time. They will launch a final attack on the bugs in ten minutes, when their psionic power is restored.

  Lu Hou said with a smile: "But that's fine, instead of letting these disasters escape, they are so cooperative and waiting here for us to come, but they are actually in their arms."

   Zhao Yulong once again showed the picture returned by the high-altitude thermal energy scan in front of everyone.

   In the picture, there is a big "circle" with very slow dark red dots, almost no gaps, and in the center of the dark red circle, there is a white light spot, which is very eye-catching.

Zhao Yulong pointed at the white light spot at the center of the circle, with a serious expression, and said, "I'll just say it bluntly, there is a boss ready to appear, and our mission is to prevent the boss from emerging from the cocoon. "

"The elite monsters on the periphery, as long as we are careful, should not be a problem. They are just a few sets of tossing and turning, and they are nothing more than generating various types of arms, and it is a little troublesome to cooperate with each other. But I think for the people present, it should not be. It's a big problem, just be careful not to be wrapped in dumplings by the bugs."

   Having said this, Zhao Yulong grinned: "If it is really wrapped, it will really become a 'dumpling' for insects."

   Hearing the words, the rest of the team members had chills on their backs. Just imagining that they were torn apart by countless bugmen. You and I were eating like a dinner party.

   But the people who can rush here have basically seen a lot of big scenes in the trial. Except for a slight change in their faces, no one showed obvious fear, and quietly listened to Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng's plan and deployment.

   "So, we...Emmm...Irin, tell me, what's your opinion?"

   Zhao Yulong was talking, when he got stuck, he turned to ask Yi Rin.

  Irin, as a pure spiritual apostle, has long been recognized by Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng for his abilities in one incident after another. At a critical time, Zhao Yulong actually consulted Yi Rin's opinion. In addition to the surprise on the face of people who were not familiar with Yi Rin, even Lu Hou looked at Yi Rin with a smile.

   Yi Rin heard the words, his eyes swept across the faces of other people, but Yu Meng was avoided. After he pondered for a moment, he quickly said: "At present, the team leader, Brother Zhao, Sister Meng, Brother Hou, Xiao Wu, and me who have the ability to escape from the worm tide at any time. Even if you can't defeat the boss, the problem of escape is not a problem. Big."

"The biggest threat to us now should be those tentacles. Those tentacles are similar to the mechanism of defensive towers, with fast attack speed, large range, and ordinary apostles can't take the damage of those tentacles at all. I think it is easy to avoid those tentacles, except Except for the team leader, everyone else has some difficulties."

  Others agree.

   They witnessed Mo Rendi dodging in the shadow of heavy whips.

   Even Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng couldn't make it as easy as Mo Rendi.

   After all, they are also the spiritual side.

   is not good at melee combat.

   At this time, Oda Mai heard Irin's words, raised her hand, frowned and retorted: "I can."

   "OK, you can, you can."

  Irin responded following Oda Mai's words, and after thinking about it, Oda Mai's swordsmanship is superb, and it seems that it is really possible. But now is not the time to talk about it, Yi Rin continued: "I have tried it just now. The cocoon is very strong, unimaginably strong, and ordinary people really can't break it. Anyway, I tried it and failed."

   "That trick?"

   Zhao Yulong's pupils shrank, and he drew a "square" in front of Yi Rin. This is Zhao Yulong's deduction of the outline of Irin's skills through the remains of the Chimera.

  Irin is a little curious now, what exactly is recorded in his file in the special group. He looked at Zhao Yulong's gesture, understood it in seconds, and nodded helplessly: "That's the trick."

   "his-"

   Zhao Yulong took a breath of the fresh and cool air that was past eight in the morning.

   The cool air moistens his lungs, making him a little awake.

   Ordinary people really can't break it...

   Swish.

  Suddenly, not long after Yi Rin said these words, everyone looked at Mo Rendi with their eyes closed.

   Mo Rendi noticed other people's gazes, and opened his eyes unremarkably, his expression remained the same, but raised his fist.

   Really deserves to be the enemy of no one!

   Everyone was amazed and sighed in their hearts.

"So…"

  Irin calculated the time, and it was almost ten minutes away. If you delay, maybe even the cubs and grandchildren will be born. Without further ado, Yilin concluded: "There is no plan. I personally think that the tentacles should be destroyed as much as possible from all directions, and the worst, but also to attract the tentacles' attention."

   Combined with Yi Rin's words, Zhao Yulong thought about it and quickly made an arrangement:

   "Aerial gunships, regardless of cost and consumption, use maximum firepower to clear elite monsters and bugs to reduce pressure for us."

   "As for the team leader, while we tried our best to drag the monsters and tentacles, we tried to reach the deepest part and kill the cocoon!"

   Regarding Zhao Yulong's direct and rudeness, there is no strategic arrangement, and no one else has any opinion.

   If in everyone's mind, there is no one who can smash that cocoon face to face... only Mo Rendi.

The power of    Mo Ren's enemy is deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone in the special group, and the impression is indelible.

   When Irin was discussing with others.

   Yu Meng asked in a low voice on the communicator.

  The reserve members at the periphery have completed the process of cleaning up the remaining insects and are rushing towards this side at full speed.

   This is good news.

   In the face of the vast insects, the more fighting power the human side has, the better.

"Is there a problem?"

   Yu Meng looked at the others.

   "I shouldn't be able to hide from those tentacles."

   At this time, a senior member of the team said in a low voice with a look of embarrassment.

   Judging from his performance just now, he seems to be an apostle leaning towards the power side, and he does not carry a sturdy armor like Lu Hou. After a full measure, I had to say this shameful remark.

   "Do what you can, clear mobs as much as possible and reduce sacrifices."

   Zhao Yulong's face was a little ugly, but he didn't force it. After all, he knew that his subordinates were not good enough, and it was impossible for them to go up and die.

"Yes!"

  Irin looked at Gu Sinan.

  Gu Sinan looked at Mo Rendi and nodded lightly.

   The brief eye contact between the two did not attract the attention of the others.

   After negotiating the so-called strategy, ten minutes were fleeting. Yu Meng's recovery psionic props also reached the time limit, the light and rain disappeared, and the psionic energy of Yu Meng, Zhao Yulong, and Yi Rin also recovered to a certain extent.

   "Are you full?"

   Zhao Yulong glanced at Yi Rin and asked.

  Irin nodded: "Almost."

   is actually much worse.

  No way, the water tank is too big…

   This little bit of recovery is like mixing a large vat with toothpicks, and there is no sense of fulfillment.

   Yi Rin's current upper limit of psionic energy may be more than Zhao Yulong and Yu Meng. After all, Yu Meng's light and rain items are not restored by percentage. The secrets that belonged to his own attributes, naturally, Yiren would not leak out under any circumstances.

   During these ten minutes, many reservists arrived outside the restricted area.

   Zhao Yulong assigned tasks to the reservists in the shortest possible time. Although they are conducting secret special training as "preparatory apostles", as long as they are not apostles, they cannot become the main force of this battle... Well, an unreasonable existence like Mo Rendi is another matter.

   "You try to attract the attention of those monsters from the periphery as much as possible, be careful not to get too close."

   Zhao Yulong reminded with a solemn expression.

The    members of the reservists listened to Zhao Yulong's advice in their ears, but there was an unconcealed eagerness in their expressions. After all, being able to become an apostle, but their greatest wish has always been... by whatever means. Now that they can "early" set foot in the world of apostles, how can this calm them down?

   In addition, in the data of the special group, there are many speculations on how to increase the summoning rate of those who meet the "summoning requirements".

   such as when emotional;

   when life and death are at stake;

   When matching men and women;

  … Under special circumstances, the summoning rate may be slightly increased.

   Isn't it a special situation right now?

   What if "YES/NO?" suddenly appeared?

   There is always a dream.

   Now that they have joined the "reserve", they are not willing to be a salted fish.

"Hehe, it's just some little bugs. Apart from looking disgusting, it's actually not much different from what we practiced during the special training simulation." Touching his bald head, he laughed.

   Several reservists who were not far from Zhao Yulong agreed, saying that these bugs were just small cases.

   Looking at the vibrant "reservists", Yi Rin's eyes were calm as he swept across their faces one by one, bowing his head thoughtfully.

   After finishing the outfit, Zhao Yulong waved his hand, gritted his teeth in the communicator and said viciously:

   "In short, everyone remember one sentence!"

   "Do what you can, and apply according to your aptitude!"

   Everyone: "...?"

   Zhao Yulong seemed to have no idea how much damage his words had caused to morale invisibly, and continued:

   "To Lao Tzu...Chong! Chong Chong Chong!"

   Everyone suddenly stepped into the restricted area.

   Zhao Yulong whispered again:

   "Don't die."
