By the time Ling Yi and Zhao Rouying arrived at the entrance of Red Maple Village, it was already past ten o'clock at night.
Red Maple Village is a small village nestled in a mountain valley.
The village is small, with only about sixty households. At this moment, the entire Red Maple Village is pitch black, with no lights and no movement.
It looks very abnormal.
Today, the Ancient Country has long since achieved full coverage of electricity and internet.
Even in the most secluded place, it's impossible for everyone to turn off the lights and go to sleep at around 10 PM, right?
"I have Perception the presence of the Weird One, and there are a great many of them." Ling Yi stood by the car, released his Divine Sense, and immediately Perception a large energy field.
Zhao Rouying adjusted her sunglasses, her expression grave, and said, "The monitor has detected a large amount of energy field."
"I need to prepare."
As she spoke, Zhao Rouying opened the trunk and took out a silver-white briefcase.
Zhao Rouying placed her palm on the briefcase, and a blue screen immediately lit up.
This box was unlocked using a palm print.
As the box was opened, Zhao Rouying took out a very futuristic-looking gun.
This gun is 60 centimeters long, with sharp edges and corners, and is entirely white.
However, the muzzle of this gun is solid, so it's clear that it doesn't fire bullets.
"This is a weapon I just received this morning. It can fire a powerful electromagnetic beam, which can cause significant damage to those with Weird One. Hmm, that's what Professor Gu said."
Professor Gu? Gu Yun?
"I haven't used it in practice yet, so I don't know if it's reliable. But I reckon we'll have to rely on you this time. According to the monitor, there are at least a hundred Weird One here."
"Can you handle it?" Zhao Rouying asked Ling Yi.
"What would you do if you were all alone?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"Of course I'd turn around and run, then call for backup. I'm not stupid. This thing might be fine for dealing with one or two Weird One, but if there are too many, I'll just have to run away."
"If you can handle it, act quickly. If you delay, the villagers might be in danger."
The Weird One stimulate the Divine Power of ordinary people by creating fear, and then devour the Divine Power of ordinary people to increase their own strength.
If the Weird One doesn't cause trouble, Zhao Rouying's monitor won't be able to detect the energy field.
The fact that a large amount of energy field can now be detected proves that these Weird One are using their abilities to create fear.
The abilities of the Weird One are varied, but their greatest skill lies in creating Illusion, especially mental Illusion.
Once an ordinary person falls victim to this, they will be trapped in various mental Illusion, which will then trigger fear.
Some powerful and Weird One can instantly plunge an entire city into a mental Illusion, not only triggering deep-seated fear but also stimulating Divine Power.
Ordinary people don't have much Divine Power to begin with. Once their Divine Power is completely absorbed, there is only one outcome: death.
However, most Weird One will not drain a person's Divine Power all at once.
Each time it absorbs energy, a small amount of Divine Power is retained. After recovery, another batch can be absorbed, allowing for repeated use and absorption.
Ling Yi wasn't sure if he could handle these Weird One.
His current Divine Sense, after a day of passive contemplation, is approximately 600 kilograms.
If among these strange beings are Li Qiang Weird One, then I might very well be stuck here.
But is Ling Yi afraid of Ga? If it does go wrong, he can just restart.
The ability to restart is Ling Yi's biggest trump card.
However, if we can eliminate all the strange phenomena here, not only will we be able to greatly increase our Divine Sense, but we will also be able to increase a lot of controllable time.
"You wait here, I'm going for a stroll around the village."
"Uh, okay!" Zhao Rouying wasn't that stubborn. The number of Weird One displayed on her sunglasses was over a hundred. Even if she went in, she would only be able to deliver food.
She was even prepared to drive away if things went wrong.
"Then be careful. If we can't handle it, we'll retreat immediately," Zhao Rouying warned.
Ling Yi made an OK sign and strode towards the village.
However, after walking less than two hundred meters, a large number of translucent figures suddenly appeared on the previously empty road at the village entrance.
These figures look much like ordinary people; some are old, some are young, some are ugly, and some are handsome.
"It doesn't seem like it's very strong," Ling Yi murmured.
" Ling Yi?" one of the burly, middle-aged, Weird One asked.
Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment. "Oh ho, you guys know me?"
"You're very famous now; it's hard not to know you."
"You guys are still online?"
"We're Weird One, not isolated from the world, so of course we can access the internet."
Okay, we were just ignorant.
"Why aren't you staying in Dafeng City? What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man looked at Ling Yi and licked his lips.
"You guess!"
As Ling Yi spoke, his Divine Sense suddenly activated, forming another Divine Sense shield with a diameter of 1200 meters, which directly trapped all these Weird One inside.
He's not here to chat, he's here to farm experience points—oops, I mean, to farm for adjustable time.
Moreover, these Weird One are positioned too perfectly; now is the perfect time to strike and wipe them all out.
Otherwise, once they disperse, some might slip through the net. What if they escape?
It's best not to let other Weird One know that he now possesses Divine Sense.
Otherwise, if these Weird One all hide, finding Weird One will be much more difficult.
"Oh no, it's Divine Sense! This guy is from the Daoist School!" The middle-aged man was shocked upon Perception the presence of the Divine Sense shield.
"What? Divine Sense? A member of the Daoist School? The Daoist School actually has a lineage?"
"Wasn't it said that with the death of Daoist Priest Heavenly Gate, the Daoist School tradition would be completely severed?"
"I'm doomed, I'm going to die! I've already died once, I don't want to die again!"
Ling Yi was somewhat dumbfounded. Were these Weird One so afraid of the Daoist School?
Seeing their panicked expressions, and the way they looked at him as if he were a great demon, Ling Yi almost thought he was the villain bullying the weak.
"Shut up, Laozi! This kid's Divine Sense isn't strong. If you don't want to die, attack him and kill him!" the middle-aged man shouted.
After shouting, the middle-aged man made the first move, clapping his hands together, and Fireball the size of a basketball appeared out of thin air and shot towards Ling Yi.
The other Weird One also came to their senses and attacked simultaneously.
These Weird One employ a wide variety of attack methods, including fireproofing, electrical discharge, throwing ice balls, and water-splattering.
However, the power of these Weird One ' attacks was truly appalling.
It couldn't even break the Divine Sense cauldron.
Ling Yi estimated that the attack power of these Weird One was around 30 kilograms, with the middle-aged Weird One being the strongest, but still not exceeding 100 kilograms.
However, despite their impressive attack power, their sheer number was overwhelming. Ling Yi's Divine Sense cauldron could only last a few minutes before being broken.
But Ling Yi wasn't just taking the beating without fighting back.
He raised his right hand, pointed it at his brow, and whispered, " Divine Sense Divine Fire, emerge!"
This was the first time Ling Yi had used the attack Divine Ability from the visualization diagram.
Suddenly, a fire dragon that seemed to devour white celestial beings appeared out of Weird One air above them. After circling once in the air, it plunged into the midst of the Weird One.
Instantly, all the Weird One were ignited by the Huoyan from the white cesium.
"Damn it, it's Divine Sense Divine Ability!" the middle-aged Weird One cried out in despair.
This was immediately followed by a series of piercing screams.
But only for a few seconds, all the screams stopped abruptly.
The power of Divine Sense Divine Ability far exceeded Ling Yi's expectations.
Or rather, Divine Sense Divine Ability seem to be the nemesis of these Weird One.
After the fire dragon disappeared, only hundreds of Spirit Pearl of various colors remained in the Divine Sense cauldron, floating in the air.
Ling Yi instinctively opened his mouth and inhaled, and the Spirit Pearl lined up and flew into his mouth.
At this moment, Ling Yi could clearly feel that his Divine Sense was increasing rapidly, as if it were riding Rocket.
The most direct reaction was that the seven visualization images within the Sea of Consciousness simultaneously increased seven or eight times.
Each visualization image looks as big as a wall.
Below the central Divine Sense Visualization Diagram, the adjustable time on the data panel has reached 1 hour, 13 minutes, and 40 seconds.
[Number of restarts: 1056]
[Reputation: 4400]
[Reboot time: 7:25:30 AM, June 7, 2024!][1 hour 13 minutes 40 seconds][+][-]
[Reset time: June 28, 2024, 19:06:30!]
[Reboot period: 512 hours and 41 minutes!]
[Current overtime: 440 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds!]
Ling Yi let out a satisfied burp; this round had been a huge success.
"It would be great if this data panel could also display the strength of Divine Sense," Ling Yi couldn't help but think.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, the data panel Changes.
Below the [Reputation] entry, one or two more entries have appeared.
These are [ Divine Sense: 4620kg] and [ Divine Sense Divine Ability: Divine Fire, Divine Illusion, Divine Lightning, Divine Weapon, Divine Water, Divine Earth.]
"You've solved all of this?" Zhao Rouying had already arrived beside Ling Yi, looking at Ling Yi with a face full of shock.
"These perpetrators are weak," Ling Yi said.
"They are all newly born Weird One after the Heavenly Gate Divine Sense Grand Formation dissipated. The veteran Weird One are extremely strong, and generally speaking, the stronger Weird One is, the less likely they are to cause trouble."
"Then how do they become stronger?" Ling Yi asked.
"Powerful Weird One enslave weaker Weird One, and every so often, they devour a portion of the Weird One ' Divine Power."
"Strictly speaking, these Weird One are busy outside are just working for those veteran Weird One. Ninety percent of the Divine Power they absorb has to be handed over."
Ling Yi was truly shocked. Good heavens, these veteran Weird One are all capitalists!
But then, Ling Yi's eyes lit up. Did that mean that these veteran Weird One were all extremely wealthy?
If it were to devour their Spirit Pearl, wouldn't that be a huge windfall?
"How powerful are those old-school supernatural beings?" Ling Yi asked.
"You wouldn't be thinking of messing with those old-school weirdos, would you?"
"We'll have to face each other sooner or later, so let's get to know each other first!"
