strategic fantasy

Chapter 174 Am I not traveling through time?

All the monsters breathed a sigh of relief.

Gene Lock is one of the greatest inventions of this era, not to mention Ji Tianqi who is only at the strategic level and whose abilities have been banned.

Even the historical level Tiger Pioneer has been hit by such a genetic lock, and most of its abilities have been weakened.

The remaining abilities are mostly related to physical enhancement.

But no matter how enhanced it is, without special abilities, it is impossible for carbon-based organisms to block weapons made by carbon-based organisms.

It can't be killed simply because of lack of firepower.

"Let him and this..." Tiger Pioneer turned into the size of an ordinary house cat again and said hesitantly: "Ding Yundian will talk alone, let's all step away."

"kindness."

After the Bull Demon King responded, he walked outside.

Other monsters followed closely behind him, but not all of them actually left.

The queen ant monster did not leave, hiding inside to listen for information.

It was also because this temporary hiding place was a little too crude, with no monitoring equipment at all, and they lost the mirror monster as a good helper in monitoring.

This is an underground cave in a mountain forest. Because the structure inside does not meet human aesthetics, it has no development value. It has been equivalent to no man's land for many years.

The Bull Demon King's body has also become smaller, but his height is still over two meters. This is the extreme limit that it can shrink while maintaining its human shape as much as possible.

Not all monsters have Tiger Pioneer's ability to grow or shrink at will.

It would be even more inappropriate to change back to the original form. The reason why the Bull Demon King always maintains his human form is not because he likes the human form, but because its body is too big and is not suitable for hiding.

In the narrow cave passage, the Bull Demon King and other monsters came to a relatively wide area. The straight-line distance from where Ji Tianqi and Ding Yundian were was actually only more than a hundred meters away.

But the passage is crooked and the distance is nearly 300 meters.

This made the Bull Demon King, who pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, hear nothing, and the same was true for Tiger Pioneer.

Their own hearing is very good, and it becomes even more powerful after awakening as monsters, but there is a limit.

Especially in such a complex environment, whispers that are deliberately suppressed cannot travel very far.

This makes them a little anxious.

Fortunately, the queen ant was not 'discovered' by Ji Tianqi and successfully brought back the news.

"Ji Tianqi is sitting cross-legged and meditating now."

"What about before?"

"He had been silent before, looking at the dummy like..."

"Like what?"

"It's like he was listening to the dummy." The queen ant monster said in a strange tone: "He also asked the dummy a lot of questions."

"what is the problem?"

"Can't understand."

"kindness?"

"I can understand every word, but I can't understand them all together." The Queen Ant Monster asked with some doubts about herself: "Should I learn human language and writing again?"

"..."

Although it is a monster that has only been awakened for less than a month, some of the information left in the monster pill can be well inherited.

The Bull Demon King and the Tiger Pioneer are very experienced in this area, so they believe in the intelligence of the Queen Ant Monster. Moreover, the queen ant monster has listened to a lot of information before, and there is no way that it cannot understand normal words spoken by a human being.

But now I just don’t understand.

So what's the problem?

"Crazy!" The Bull Demon King couldn't help but cursed, which made the Queen Ant Monster a little scared and lay on the ground shivering.

"He's not scolding you." Tiger Pioneer reassured and frowned: "We want to cooperate with him, don't scold him."

"Did I curse?" The Bull Demon King chuckled, "Isn't what I said the truth?"

"..." Tiger Pioneer changed the subject: "How should we talk to him next?"

The Bull Demon King pondered for a moment.

"Actually, I don't think we need to talk to him. With his mental state, we can't talk about it no matter what."

"Then how can we borrow his ability?"

"Control him just like Su Daji controlled him."

"But we don't have a suitable demon elixir now." Tiger Pioneer thought about the demon elixirs hidden in his stomach, and said with regret: "It would be a pity. If Su Daji was beaten to death that time, her demon elixir would be gone." It’ll be nice if Dan takes it back.”

The Bull Demon King was also a little helpless.

Su Daji's charm control ability is very rare among monsters, comparable to the mirror monster's teleportation ability.

Moreover, this rare ability may not be successfully inherited even if one has the demon pill, and the requirements for the user are very high.

"Go back to Eagle Country." Bull Demon King suggested: "There is a person in the Century Gang who can control other people. Let's go find them to cooperate."

The Century Gang is a super-powered criminal organization in Eagle Country. It is very powerful and includes super-powered criminals and monster members. Even the New Hope Alliance of Eagle Country must avoid its edge and not dare to take any too strong actions.

In comparison, the Saviors Alliance, which is almost entirely created by monsters, is much weaker.

The main gap is in the penetration into human society.

In short, there is too little control over various resources.

Although it is said that those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes, when the ground is full of glass shards and nails, no matter how cruel the people with bare feet are, they cannot compare to those who wear shoes.

Tiger Pioneer frowned, with an expression like a cat that had witnessed human stupidity.

"Let them control Ji Tianqi, then what is the point of rescuing Ji Tianqi?"

"The meaning is to make human society more chaotic."

The Bull Demon King explained with a clear mind: "Our structure is bigger. If Ji Tianqi is handed over to those guys from the Century Gang, the Dragon Kingdom will definitely want to snatch Ji Tianqi back. And they are going to Eagle Kingdom to snatch it back. Man, the New Hope Alliance is definitely not willing to do so.

After all, a battle between strong men would definitely cause serious damage to the surroundings. And the Century Gang is almost always hidden in the city. Once they take action, all the people from the Eagle Country will die. "

Tiger Pioneer understands.

"That said, it's not impossible." The Bull Demon King laughed, with an expression like a cow being milked.

"We thought wrong before. We thought Dragon Kingdom was very stable, but we ignored the reason. Now, we can no longer develop here, so we can only go back to Eagle Kingdom and take advantage of the time when they are fighting among humans. , fishing in troubled waters.”

"It makes sense." Tiger Pioneer said helplessly: "I don't know where the boss has gone. If he is here, we will not stop here."

"It's pointless not to talk about this anymore." The Bull Demon King asked, "Do you agree?"

Tiger Pioneer was still a little hesitant. The Bull Demon King's plan was very grand, but it was also too big and too big to be realistic.

The Bull Demon King glanced at Ji Tianqi's location and said in a helpless tone: "I didn't expect that Ji Tianqi's mental illness is so serious. It is much more serious than the last time we met. He is completely unable to communicate."

Tiger Pioneer was stunned for a moment, thinking about Ji Tianqi's performance today, and finally made a decision.

"Then contact them, we can't negotiate with Ji Tianqi."

"Okay." The Bull Demon King immediately stretched out his hand: "Give me the satellite phone."

Tiger Pioneer opened his huge mouth again and allowed the Bull Demon King to put his hand deep into it and fumble for a while before taking out a satellite phone.

They were not worried that the communication signals would be detected, because there was no reason for the Security Administration to know where they were hiding.

Once the area of ​​suspicion expands to a radius of hundreds of kilometers, let alone communication signals, even if they change their original shape on the ground, it will be difficult to be discovered in the first place.

Part of the reason why these monsters fled from the Eagle Kingdom to the Dragon Kingdom is that the Dragon Kingdom is too big.

If you are in some small countries that are as big as a palm, any movement you make can be discovered immediately, even the precise location.

Soon, the Bull Demon King finished the phone call and came back to report to the Tiger Pioneer.

"As I said, Ji Tianqi's ability is similar to that of a great immortal. It can allow ordinary people to awaken their abilities in minutes. The Century Gang is very interested, and they decided to send someone to help us."

Tiger Pioneer frowned and said, "Aren't you lying? It seems that Ji Tianqi can only absorb energy."

They didn't know that Ji Tianqi had learned the method of "initiation and transfer of power".

"If you don't lie, how can we let them come to help us?" The Bull Demon King mistook the truth and said: "Moreover, Ji Tianqi's ability is very special. The immortal said that he can awaken many kinds of abilities. In case, he awakens a new ability Where’s the ability?”

Tiger Pioneer thought it made sense. While nodding, he suddenly thought of a question.

"Why does Ji Tianqi regard the Great Immortal as some kind of Niu Chunqiu?"

"He still thinks of us as members of some kind of demon sect. Are we humans?"

"No."

"That's right. I don't want to know anything about the world of mental patients anymore."

The Bull Demon King really regretted it. He thought that with his own strategic ability, he could easily hold Ji Tianqi in his hands.

But it turns out that no matter how clever the monster is, he cannot control a mental patient without the ability to control him.

At this moment, the lizard monster who had just replaced the queen ant monster to monitor Ji Tianqi suddenly ran over and said: "Ji Tianqi woke up, no, he stood up and did not meditate cross-legged."

Bull Demon King and Tiger Pioneer went over immediately and saw Ji Tianqi standing next to the mannequin, looking at the mannequin with strange eyes... The brand on his body?

【What is there to see? 】

【Neuropathy! Mental illness! Something is wrong! 】

The two big monsters didn't know what to say to Ji Tianqi for a moment. It was also because of the many words he had said before that Ji Tianqi ignored them and was completely immersed in the world of mental illness and could not extricate himself.

So what's the point of talking about it?

But at this moment, Ji Tianqi suddenly turned his head and looked at them, his eyes still strange.

Surprise flashed through him.

It's just because the cave is very dark, and the Bull Demon King and Tiger Pioneer are not monsters like Su Daji, so their ability to understand people's hearts and micro-expressions is somewhat poor.

Couldn't see it at all.

"A member of the Demon Sect?"

Listening to Ji Tianqi's strange question, the Bull Demon King and the Tiger Pioneer looked at each other, both helpless, and at the same time made animal noises to communicate.

"He is mentally ill. Just bear with it and he will be handed over to the Century Gang soon."

"Then let's act with him for a while."

The Bull Demon King volunteered to be the leading actor, looked at Ji Tianqi and replied: "Yes, we are members of the Demon Sect."

Ji Tianqi suddenly laughed.

He had just learned the Zhao Shen Gong and returned from time travel. He was actually a little confused about the situation, but based on his previous time travel experience, especially the words and deeds of some of the replicas on the projection side.

There have been some speculations.

Sure enough, as he expected, his projection regarded these monsters as the real demon sect members he encountered in another world.

This dummy should probably be regarded as Ding Yundian, who was imprisoned by the demon sect like him after he was taught the Shining Skill.

[The people in the Demon Sect are the people in the Demon Sect. They don’t keep their promises at all. If you don’t let me go, let me go. Ding Yundian won’t let him go either. He still wants to get the Divine Power]

[I have to solve the problem here quickly, and then go back to rescue Ding Yundian, and I will do what I say. 】

Ji Tianqi thought so and looked down at his body.

The ends of the nine divine dragon thorns extended from several unimportant acupuncture points around his body, blocking all the skills in his body.

If you don't know how to get rid of it and forcefully pull out the dragon's thorn, you may end up going crazy, or you may die on the spot.

But it doesn't matter, he has learned the magic power!

The only problem is...

"Did you guys put this on me?"

When he asked the question, he pointed to the object that was suspected of being a gene lock on his body, and his tone was calm, as if he had become a normal person.

"Yes, we put it on you." The Bull Demon King explained patiently: "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. When our friends come and take us to a truly safe place, we will relieve you. Genetically locked.”

[It’s really a genetic lock. 】

Ji Tianqi was actually a little stunned.

[I wear an activated gene lock, why can I travel back in time? Could it be...]
