Technology Crushes Technology: The Demon Soul Race's True Nature! (Two-in-One)

A long moon hangs in the sky.

All was silent.

Throughout history, in the human consciousness, waging war has always required a proper and appropriate reason.

But for other races, they don't need that.

They were afraid of disturbing these visiting "friends".

Forty kilometers from the territory's border, Su Mo had already abandoned Dihu and, dressed in Combat Suit, sprinted across the land like a ghost! As for Oreo behind her, she was even faster, kicking up countless dust particles as she ran, leaving them behind.

Upon reaching this position, the column of smoke, illuminated by the moonlight, had essentially formed a mysterious, physical passageway extending into the depression.

Countless tiny particles, visible to the naked eye, floated in the column of smoke, rising and falling like fluttering butterflies.

Coupled with the desolate landscape, this scene has a distinctly sci-fi blockbuster feel to it.

Without rushing to study the composition of the smoke column, they crossed another small hill.

Without any attempt to conceal it, Su Mo immediately spotted the source of the plume of smoke.

"Great, this weather is really helping me."

"Since you dared to invade my territory, you'd better be dead this time!"

Outside the boundary of the depression, at this point in time, the weather still hadn't cleared up.

The torrential rain continued to pound against the area beyond the border, creating ripples in the water.

From this vantage point, looking up, you can even see the dark sky in the distance, with flashes of lightning occasionally tearing through the night.

Due to these environmental limitations, the only way to control the smoke column is to enter the territory.

This directly led to the group of unidentified visitors having to choose a location about three kilometers from the edge of their territory.

At this moment, a column of smoke rose from the center of the four large tents and then spread into the distance.

The enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows.

Instead of rushing up to test the waters, Su Mo called Oreo to lie down on the ground with him, then took out his binoculars and looked over.

It's like a person standing on the ground observing the moon in the sky.

When you look at a bright light from the dark, it becomes clearer and more transparent.

"One, two, thirty-four, twenty!"

The enemy's true face is not yet visible.

Therefore, Su Mo could only judge the number of enemies by the shadows cast from the tents.

And strangely enough...

The shadows varied in size; some were tall and thin, like cones, as if they had contracted a serious illness.

Some are only a little taller, so tall that they can only be placed above the legs, making them comparable to dwarfs.

More often, however, were irregularly shaped objects that didn't seem like creatures that could come from a single race.

"There are only three human shadows. Judging from the shapes of the other shadows, we can initially rule out that they are from the Radiant Empire."

"And if they are Demon Soul Race, does that mean they, like the Coolie Lizard, have hybridized into different species?"

The more Su Mo observed, the stranger it seemed.

But before he could even guess, with two deep barks from Oreo, the image in the telescope changed again.

"Are humans mixed up with dwarves, tiger-men, and rat-men?"

"How is that possible? How can so many races be mixed together? Besides, there are no dominant tiger people or rat people in this region at all!"

Looking at the four figures emerging from the largest tent on the left.

Watching the other party drop a glowing object in each of the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) towards the source of the smoke column, causing the smoke column's concentration to return to its peak value.

Su Mo was suddenly startled.

Suddenly, he had a guess.

"Damn it, I know what information they're trying to gather!"

"They are indeed a troublesome race. No wonder the Radiant Empire has no way to deal with such monsters."

"If it weren't for my caution, I don't even want to imagine the consequences if they had infiltrated the area with such talent!"

Su Mo could not see the human face clearly through the telescope.

But this didn't prevent him from roughly observing from a few key features that this person was indeed Li Hu!

It was outrageous, but it actually happened right before Su Mo's eyes.

Just like the real and fake Monkey Kings, whether it's height, weight, physique, or the movements in every gesture.

This person can imitate a perfect 70% of the likeness.

Su Mo didn't sense the same iron-blooded aura from Li Hu, but it was this strange change that made him subconsciously shiver.

"Woof! Woof!"

"I know they're not ghosts, they're people, so I'm not afraid!"

After patting Oreo's head, Su Mo rolled over and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although it has never been said, I still have a lot of curiosity about this mysterious Demon Soul Race Su Mo.

At first, he thought these things were creatures made of elements from a Western fantasy world, with all sorts of strange abilities.

But after hearing what the people from the Radiant Empire said, he subconsciously thought that these creatures possessed extremely strong vitality and defense, making them very difficult to deal with.

Now, no one expected this.

The opponent had neither terrifying strength to suppress everything, nor a powerful body capable of withstanding steel weapons.

What they possess is incredibly advanced simulation technology.

It is sufficient to simulate all the organisms whose information has been collected!

Thinking about it that way, it does make sense.

"When they first moved into the territory, no one had left yet, which was a good opportunity for them to gather information."

"Without sufficient intelligence support, this kind of tactic is simply impossible to defend against."

"No, this kind of race shouldn't be called the Demon Soul Race. It's highly likely that they deliberately spread a lot of false information, mixing in things that people fear, and then distorting other people's impressions."

Based solely on simple observation and reasoning, along with prior information, Su Mo arrived at a wealth of conclusions.

I don't know how far this argument is from the truth, after turning my body over again.

Su Mo slowly stood up, supporting himself with one hand on the ground.

While standing, under the guidance of his mind, a pale black light, like a visitor from the void, rose from the soles of Su Mo's feet and slowly ascended to the top of his head.

There was no sound at all.

As Su Mo stood up straight, an eerie aura spontaneously emanated from his body.

After using the Food God's authority, the clone created by Heaven Stealing Sun Swapping has already begun to undergo earth-shattering changes.

It took almost a month to polish.

Ultimately, a perfect body was formed.

A super body with almost half-liberated authority! Even without actual combat, Su Mo, standing on the ground, could feel the constant pumping sensation in his body, as well as a power more than five times stronger than during the transformation.

The secret of clones.

Su Mo never told anyone.

This includes the management of Hope Village, including Lü Kuan, Su Deben, and even Su Chan.

Aside from Oreo, who had seen it, no one else knew about Su Mo's clone.

Naturally, no one, including the game itself, knew that this territory couldn't contain him at all!

In other words, among all the lords on this continent, only Su Mo can step out of his territory without worrying about the collapse of his sanctuary.

"I had originally planned to use this as my strongest trump card in the New Continent, as well as a backup plan."

"But now your technology..."

"I want it!"

Once they obtain the Demon Soul Race's ability to freely mimic the appearance of others.

This means that even in low-lying areas, people can be brought into the local camp to obtain a continuous stream of intelligence.

This tactic is equivalent to playing a MOBA game with the entire map open; if you don't play poorly, you can basically dominate and beat your opponent.

The cutting-edge technology of the Radiant Empire, the top plant seeds of the Treant race, and the rare resources of the Dwarf Race.

They will all completely lose their "Firewall" and, under the actions of the traitors within, obediently become nutrients for growth in the lowlands.

As for the deeper implications...

This means that Su Mo's body can also become a trump card; he can even simulate going to the enemy's territory and causing a series of massive destructions.

"That's absolutely divine skill!"

"If Virtual Reality technology can deceive other creatures within my territory, then this technology is specifically designed for use outside my territory."

"The ancients were right: with risk comes high reward!"

The more Su Mo thought about the potential benefits of this technology, the heavier his breathing became.

Even though Su Mo believed his mental fortitude was strong enough, his racing heart betrayed him.

No one could remain calm.

Su Mo won't work! "Oreo, tactics change. I need a lot of information. You do this..."

I quickly whispered a few words in Oreo's ear, and watched as the latter obediently nodded and ran back the way it came.

Su Mo stopped smiling and reached forward.

Just like when we first approached the Kobold Castle, we cautiously tested the distance.

Every two hundred meters, Su Mo would stop and carefully observe the surroundings before continuing his journey.

At a distance of 2,500 meters, the people inside the tent remained completely unaware, letting the plume of smoke spread into the depression.

Two kilometers away, everything remained peaceful and serene, and everything seemed normal as far as the eye could see.

At 1,500 meters, it seems someone has discovered the intrusion.

But after careful observation, Su Mo discovered that the figure that came out was just making a routine appearance, tidying up the smoke column a few times, and then returning to the tent.

"The defense is so lax, that doesn't make sense. Could it be that the Demon Soul Race sent such a bunch of weaklings?"

With a slight sense of doubt, Su Mo continued forward.

But this time, as soon as I entered within a kilometer, I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet.

Without hesitation, Su Mo lay down on the spot.

His powerful physique gave him Sixth Sense, which told him that if he went any further, he would most likely encounter the enemy's Defense Facilities.

Even so, the figures inside the tent began to move.

Of the twenty people, eight immediately came out and began to stand at the entrance of the camp, looking around.

Lying quietly on the ground, Su Mo neither moved hastily nor dared to take the opportunity to observe.

Lowering his head and entrusting everything to his unseen Sixth Sense, Su Mo's aura quickly calmed down, gradually merging with the earth.

Unconsciously, perfect rhythms sprang from Su Mo's body and then merged into the earth.

It's like an invading virus.

Gradually, unless one gets very close to examine it, even if one stands five meters away, ordinary people will subconsciously ignore Soma when they see Su Mo.

Strong people all have a big heart.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Su Mo still did not look up.

He was confident that if the other side really had a detection device, they wouldn't need to conduct such a scattered, fish-like search.

However, if the other side doesn't have the corresponding technological equipment, it's like a certain survival game on Earth where you can only run but not fight.

The investigation can proceed safely without any worries.

A strong mindset brings extraordinary stability.

The owner of the footsteps walked back and forth, but failed to notice Su Mo lying less than three meters away from him.

It seems a bit strange.

But in the end, he chose to give up the investigation and began to mutter some inexplicable syllables as he walked back.

Snap! Snap! I waited until the heavy footsteps gradually disappeared, feeling the chill that still lingered in the vicinity.

Su Mo, lying face down, silently revealed a hint of mockery.

Whoosh!

The next instant, fifteen meters away from Su Mo, a wooden spike suddenly shot up from the ground and then exploded two meters in the air.

The person whose footsteps just left actually didn't leave from beginning to end!

The fading footsteps were just a disguise.

However, after failing to find any intruders during this raid, he decisively chose to abandon it.

Feeling the chill quickly disappear, Su Mo didn't hesitate and looked up at the departing figure.

Hmm.

It's a tree person!

This cunning Demon Soul Race even simulated the Treants.

And looking at the spot where the tree spirit had attacked, after observing the wooden spikes on the ground that were not yet completely broken, Su Mo nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems this simulation can not only mimic appearance, but also possess the other person's abilities to a certain extent."

"I'm not sure if this is deceiving my senses, but in terms of attack power, it's quite impressive."

He stepped forward, picked up the fallen wood shavings from the ground, and put them in his pocket. Su Mo didn't go any further, but instead followed the path he had come from back to the place where he had parted ways with Oreo.

Lying on the ground, by the light of the moon, I recalled the other person's reaction when I walked a kilometer away.

And that strange feeling of Sixth Sense inexplicably erupting from the body.

By the time Su Mo came to his senses, two figures had already appeared hastily in the distance.

It was Pei Shao and Chen Kai! There are only twelve hours left before the Rapid March buff ends.

Without engaging in direct combat with the enemy, the two maintained their 500% acceleration.

Furthermore, since they were running the whole way, their speed was not much slower than that of the Earth Tiger.

Seeing Su Mo beckon, a hint of joy flashed across their faces, and they crept over silently.

"Ha, Chief Ha, we've brought everything you ordered! The Oreo are still to come!"

He was breathing heavily.

With a flick of his wrist, Pei Shao's Storage Space produced a large, bulky television set that had previously been placed in the Underground Shelter.

In Chen Kai's Storage Space, a relay battery, roughly the size of a dwarf and collected from a village, lay on the ground.

Two things.

Although it looked unremarkable, Su Mo's face lit up with uncontrollable joy when it appeared on the ground.

You must use magic to defeat magic.

It doesn't matter if he can't get within a kilometer range; the Demon Soul Race would never expect that he would have such a useful detection device.

"Alright, you can all go back now. But take a message with you: don't worry about me."

I will be back by tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two nodded at the same time.

Unaware of Su Mo's purpose, the two men had their own guesses as they watched the pillar of light materialize in the air.

Unfortunately, considering Su Mo's previous performance in several Virtual Reality tests,

Although they really wanted to suggest things like, "Stay here and fight alongside you."

However, after guessing that their opponent might be quite strong, the two wisely chose to leave.

Watching the two figures rushing towards them disappear once again below the horizon.

Without rushing, Su Mo waited another half hour until Oreo appeared before suddenly standing up from the ground.

"How are you? Still have the strength to fight?"

"Woof!"

With its powerful shout and smug little expression, Oreo's intentions were very clear.

"Good, go and block their rear. If they try to leave, launch an attack."

"We must find him alive or dead; we must leave one of us alive today, no matter what!"

With one hand gripping the base of the bulky TV and the other holding the batteries, Su Mo skillfully ran forward after seeing Oreo nod.

One life.

It's done twice.

Having learned from previous experience, this time, even when Su Mo sneaked within a thousand meters, the chill only lingered and did not elicit any reaction from the other party.

Looking at the campsite that still radiated warm light, and the shadows swaying up and down inside.

Finding a low-lying spot, Su Mo pulled out a shovel and quickly got to work.

Three minutes later, a bomb crater, roughly large enough to accommodate two people, 1.5 meters deep and 2.5 meters wide, was "made".

He placed the bulky CRT TV inside, connected the batteries, and Su Mo nimbly leaped inside.

The next second, as the battery output power, the power indicator light on the previously dark television began to light up.

Turn the button, and the TV turns on with a whoosh.

As expected, the large-screen TV still worked after leaving the shelter.

"Hey, let me take a look..."

"What kind of monsters and demons are you?!"

As he turned the joystick and watched the camp getting closer, Su Mo's gaze instantly focused.
