Don't call me evil god

Chapter 961 The Impact of Cognitive Differences

After the magic effect of [Silent Field] ended, Gray was finally able to speak.

"You! You! How did you do that?!"

He stammered and pointed at Vincent's right arm, his eyes full of shock and awe.

Vincent raised his eyebrows and showed the metal shape that had turned into an arm guard to the other party:
"Any questions?"

Gray opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He has so many problems!

Without the [cognitive protection barrier], from his perspective, Vincent had just done something extremely outrageous!

He tamed the monster that lurked in the Silent Woods and would occasionally pop up to attack passing gray dwarves!

Gray even saw the monster's appearance clearly.

It was a flying snake with fleshy wings, which was now wrapped around Vincent's forearm docilely and quietly, dozing with its eyes closed.

When Gray raised his hand and pointed at it, the monster suddenly opened its eyes and spit out its bright red tongue at him.

This almost scared Gray to death.

Gray heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the monster would not attack him:
"You have solved the monster that has been hiding in the Silent Woods and attacking passers-by. If I remember correctly, there is a bounty for it in the Limoen Settlement. If you bring it back, you should be able to get the reward."

Upon hearing this, several other believers of the ranger profession immediately looked at Vincent.

Although it is still a question whether the other party can feed this gold-eating beast in the future, but from what Gray said, there is only one of this metal monster!
I have it too, it's nothing special.

I have what others don’t, and that’s what makes people most enviable!
"There's only one in Silent Grove? Are you so scared by it that you dare not even make a sound here?"

A fellow ranger complained speechlessly:

"Can't you just kill it?"

Gray was even more shocked: "Kill it?! How do we kill it?"

"This monster is immortal!"

"The Limoen settlement once organized a hunt for it. More than a dozen warriors died before they captured it, and chopped off its head on the spot."

"But that's useless. It won't die even if it loses its head. It even 'splits into two', and its killing speed has doubled!"

"The entire team that hunted it was wiped out, and its head later grew back onto its body."

Someone reacted.

The gray dwarf has been trapped by cognitive interference again!

After they activated the [Cognitive Protection Barrier], they were able to recognize the true face of this monster.

Its original appearance was a metallic monster, not a thorny flying snake.

Methods like chopping off the head are useless. Metal doesn't have a head!

That operation would instead cause the metal monster to disintegrate on its own and then continue to attack.

But in the eyes of the gray dwarves, the thornback flying snake is "immortal".

The difference in understanding brought about by the difference in cognition was what made Gray astounded at Vincent.

The seekers of knowledge now feel like a strong man who has defeated the devil and returned to his hometown, the novice village where he started his adventure, and saw the goblins wandering outside.

Before coming here, I had always heard that there were all kinds of dangerous places in the abyss, and one could lose one's life if one was not careful.

The gray dwarves even described it in various exaggerated ways.

As a result, when they really encountered it, they immediately found that the situation was not as they thought!

Perhaps the greatest danger of the Deep Realm is this cognitive interference, which keeps those affected in the dark, unaware of the problem and oblivious to its existence.

The followers of Norwen have the [Cognitive Protection Barrier] as their backing. At least with the various monsters they have encountered now, it can only be said that the gray dwarves have been affected by cognition and have not found the right method, which makes these monsters too strong!

The believers of knowledge who can directly see through the true situation of the monsters can easily defeat them as long as they deal with their weaknesses and characteristics!
……

Seeing Gray's shocked expression, Dolan rolled his eyes and grinned.

He walked forward and patted Gray hard.

"I've already told you that if we dare to hire you as a guide, we naturally have the confidence to protect you!"

"Isn't it just a thorn-backed flying snake? What's so difficult about it?"

"Again!"

“Don’t have any evil ideas! Hurry up and lead the way. Take us to the Howling Abyss as soon as possible.”

Gray nodded frantically and nervously.

"I understand. I understand..."

The scene of Vincent taming the Spiny Flying Snake in Gray's eyes had a huge impact on him.

If he had originally had some thoughts of abandoning everyone and running away if the situation got bad.

Now it has been completely dispelled.

He is not stupid!

If he dared to run, there would be no need for these people to take action. Just the Spiny Flying Snake, with its notorious reputation for attacking gray dwarves in the Silent Woods, would kill him in seconds.

Who dares to run?

Gray felt relieved now.

In any case, for this hiring, Dolan and the others paid him the same salary as a gray dwarf guide.

Before setting off, Gray was still afraid that he would be in a terrible situation where he would earn money but not get it.

It’s different now!

They could even cross the Silent Woods, a dangerous area where the gray dwarves had to be careful and keep quiet to pass through, and even tamed the long-dead Spiny Flying Snake!

Then if they go to the Howling Abyss, maybe they can make it all the way?
With a change of mindset, Gray suddenly became much more positive!

The exact location of the Howling Abyss Trail that leads directly to the Fungus Sea marked on the map has always been a secret. All the gray dwarves who know it are experienced and senior guides and leaders. These people are highly respected by other gray dwarves in the Limoen settlement and can enjoy a relatively affluent life.

If he could figure out the situation in the Howling Abyss and remember the location of the trail after this trip, wouldn't it mean that he could be on par with those experienced guides?
This slave caravan from the surface will definitely not stay in the abyss for long; they will have to return to the surface sooner or later.

The Deep Region has always been the home of the Gray Dwarves and the Dark Elves, who are the indigenous inhabitants here.

After the caravan leaves, with my ability to lead the team through the Howling Abyss and quickly reach the Sea of ​​Fungi, wouldn't I be able to become a superior person among the gray dwarves in the Limoen Settlement?
Are you going to stand up?!
The more Gray thought about it, the more excited he became, and the happier he became.

Even the pace of the guide subconsciously became lighter.

He is already thinking about his wonderful future life!

"If he could become a senior guide, he would also buy a few human slaves from the caravan and enjoy himself!"

Gray's various thoughts were not known to the knowledge seekers who followed him because they had no mind reading ability.

They just looked at the gray dwarf who had been timid before and suddenly became proactive.

"Dear friends from the surface!"

"Follow me! I promise! The Howling Abyss will be here soon!"
