End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 237 Zhang Tianming, Void Observation, Psychic Ascension

The fake monk entered the gray and white castle-style villa and didn't see anything unusual after a while.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, hid far away in a forest, and chose to stay put for the time being.

After the battle at Jiang Yuner's villa, Lin Feng learned his lesson and cautiously did not move forward. After all, the opponent could use his limit-breaking spiritual attributes and artistic conception to discover his infiltration in advance...

There was no reason why the more powerful trio of charlatans couldn't detect him at close range.

Even without using telepathy at this moment, Lin Feng could sense the spiritual energy emanating from the castle villa, which was not much different from that of the Queen Mother in the early stage of the third stage.

So for the sake of caution, he planned to wait for the fake monk to report Jiang Yuner's capture and disappearance, and then take him down when he came out. Just like last time, he would first ask him for some information about the sacrificial ceremony.

However, after waiting for a long time, the fake monk did not come out.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Could it be that the other party had accidentally noticed his following?
While I was wondering, the blind fortune teller with gray hair sitting in a wheelchair was suddenly pushed back into the room...

Then, an ordinary believer in white clothes walked out from the big villa. He was only at the initial level of the first stage.

He walked straight towards where Lin Feng was.

Less than a hundred meters away from Lin Feng, he calmly stopped and spoke loudly:

"Shen Zi said it's hot outside, go sit inside, Mr. Lin."

"The Divine Cult has been waiting for you for a long time..."

Lin Feng walked out of the woods with a look of doubt on his face, looked at the respectful man in front of him, then looked at the castle villa in the distance, and said with a slightly complicated expression:

"Lead the way."

Following him into the villa, the moment the door opened, Lin Feng could feel a spiritual energy filling the house, just like when Jiang Yuner tried to mobilize the artistic conception to attack him before.

However, the spiritual energy lingering around him did not have much impact on Lin Feng, nor was it aimed at him.

It's more like an experiment in some kind of energy release.

The construction pattern of the entire castle is like an energy signal tower, with layers upon layers, converging into a point at the top of the castle.

Lin Feng saw it all and, under the guidance of the guide, came to a high-ceilinged living room in the villa, which was more than 100 square meters, with the tallest castle spire above his head.

At this moment, there was not only the fake monk sitting on the stage with a kind face, but also the blind fortune-teller who had just been pushed in, and the leader of the trio that Lin Feng feared the most, the young Taoist priest, Zhang Tianming.

The spiritual energy that enveloped the entire villa was continuously released from him.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the identification skills that appeared in his eyes were always loading. This abnormal phenomenon would only occur when identifying a target that was higher than one's own strength.

"I told you, we'll meet again."

Zhang Tianming smiled and spoke softly.

Lin Feng walked forward slowly, his expression normal:
"To make a long story short, since you are paying attention to the so-called Insect God Cult, you should also know what they are planning."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's tone became more serious:
"It won't be long before the eastern defense line's defenders completely evacuate. What countermeasures do you have?"

"If we delay until the high-level queen mother leads the Zerg under her command to surround the outer circle of the capital city..."

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Zhang Tianming, who was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, nodded:

"The leader of the Insect God Cult is indeed in your hands."

"She is a key figure in this conspiracy. Losing her can delay a lot of time."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"It has nothing to do with her. As long as the high-level queen mother surrounds the capital, the sacrificial ceremony can be activated in the end."

"The really damnable and troublesome people are the group of high-ranking officials in the capital who escaped."

Zhang Tianming maintained a calm smile:
"Some of them are still staying in the city, planning to cooperate with the Insect God Cult leader to successfully initiate the God-summoning ritual."

"I don't know if it's the so-called fanaticism of converts. These idiots who betrayed their race still fantasize that the gods of other races will grant them miracles..."

"Without reaching a high level, even God's gift will be a disaster."

Lin Feng nodded. Although he was against Zhang Tianming's mysterious attitude, what he said was very right.

"Don't worry about that for now. The problem now is how to destroy or delay the sacrificial ceremony."

"Do you have a way to relocate these millions of survivors? Or dispose of them harmlessly as soon as possible."

Lin Feng continued to ask. In fact, he didn't have much hope for the three charlatans in front of him.

Their strength was not enough to repel the insect swarm, so they could only start from the survivors.

For example, some evil skill that can directly refine millions of survivors.

Zhang Tianming shook his head this time and admitted:
"The strength of a mid-stage third-order queen is much stronger than ours. If it is just an early-stage third-order queen mother, there is still room for maneuver."

"Now that multiple queens are attacking, they are surrounding the fifth and fourth defense lines from different directions. It is equivalent to putting several circles of isolation belts around the capital city. Even if there are still tens of thousands of awakened people, it will be difficult to fight their way out."

Lin Feng twitched his lips, thinking that these guys didn't have any special tricks, and replied in a teasing tone:

"If that's the case, why are you still staying here with your followers? Aren't you afraid that you will also be killed by the insect swarm?"

Zhang Tianming spread his hands and spoke slowly:
"Such a large-scale sacrificial ceremony, covering an area of ​​20 kilometers, is something that even a mid-level third-order queen mother cannot accomplish."

"That's why we need the Insect God Cult leader to help control her from both inside and outside. Now that she's under your control, it will give us more time to proceed to the next step..."

"Eliminate the Zerg spies hidden in the city, the Zerg mothers disguised as humans, and the several living altars they set up with the rebellious high-ranking officials of the capital."

"We are too weak. The enemies are all genetic warriors contaminated by Zerg blood. Both in numbers and individual strength, they are far stronger than human awakeners."

"I need your help to solve these problems."

"As long as we stop the sacrificial ritual, we can gain more chances of survival."

After hearing Zhang Tianming's plan, Lin Feng gradually realized that the other party had taken him into account. Obviously, his prophetic skills were further enhanced.

Fortunately, although this ability is extremely powerful, it does not have strong offensive capabilities and is only at the ceiling level of auxiliary capabilities.

"Killing is not a problem. Even if it's a peak second-level Zerg or a human awakener, I can kill it with one strike."

"The key point is..."

"The Zerg mother has a human appearance as a cover, and it has the ability to conceal its breath and whereabouts. Only Zerg of the same species, such as genetically modified awakened ones, can sense it nearby."

"Without accurate and real-time reconnaissance means, how can we lock down all of them in a short period of time within the more than 200 square kilometers of the second line of defense?"

"Could it be that the informants and spies you have planted have already followed and collected all the intelligence?"

Lin Feng then asked.

He also knew that as long as this matter was resolved, it would at least delay the situation for a few hours to a few days, and then he could notify Qin Hu and open a passage to break out to the south. Moreover, the middle-stage mother queen did not dare to go down directly, after all, humans still had the nuclear bomb, a powerful weapon.

Without the spies and flags in the city, working together from inside and outside to help them complete the ritual, these life-conscious queens would definitely not land on the surface.

They could only use the delaying tactic of besieging the city, gradually digging out an underground tunnel leading to the city, and then arranging the ceremony.

Otherwise, the federal high-ranking officials in the outer circle who were not controlled would see that millions of survivors were about to be sacrificed and refined by the Zerg and become nutrients for the Queen Mother's promotion.

They will definitely launch nuclear bombs at all costs.

This is a battle of information asymmetry.

The opportunity is now, and it only comes once.

Whether it is Lin Feng and others who have joined the game, or the Zerg Queen who set up the game, they must seize the time.

If it can be delayed until hundreds of thousands of awakened ones leave safely and the top leaders of the outer federation have no worries, they will not let this sacrificial ceremony go smoothly even if they need to use nuclear bombs to wipe out the area.

The responsibility of millions of survivors being abandoned by traitors, and the Zerg Queen being promoted to the late third stage after the defeat, are both things that the Federation cannot bear now.

The former would be a loss of reputation and weaken the Federation's control over local forces, while the latter would lead to the loss of future living space for mankind.

However, it is also difficult to deal with the Zerg's internal accomplices.

This group of second-level Zerg mothers are basically equivalent to the clones of the high-level queen mother, but they are not as emotionally rich as Lingyi.

What's more, at the beginning, Longyi was also very dull. It was not until he followed Lin Feng to study in human society that he gradually evolved human habits.

The most important function of the Zerg mother is to transform into a node mother. Through symbiosis with the biological mother nest, it can continue to use the concept of infinite reproduction.

Then cooperate with the Queen Mother under the ground to accomplish this large-scale and wide-ranging sacrificial summons.

Now, this group of camouflaged and hidden Zerg mother bodies have sneaked in among the millions of survivors, and are still on the move, avoiding the enemy, looking for human gathering points, and preparing to release the power of artistic conception.

Lin Feng had used telepathy skills before, but was unable to detect any clues. This was unless he let Jiang Yuner restore the arthropod tail and then used her artistic conception to conduct a large-scale scan and identification.

But this girl has been bewitched by the Queen Mother and the group of rebels and has completely believed them. Lin Feng estimated that even if he threatened her with death, she would not cooperate sincerely.

If this road is blocked, the person in front of you will be the only one left.

This Taoist priest who pretends to be a ghost, together with the other two people, forms a trio of charlatans. Can they perfectly coordinate their supernatural powers to predict and calculate the target's location in real time?

After Lin Feng asked this question, he looked directly at the blind fortune teller next to Zhang Tianming.

Although this guy was very weak last time, he was still able to hold on to the dog-beating stick and keep up with the departing team.

When we met again this time, unlike the other two who were full of vigor and vitality, he looked like he was about to die.

He is clearly a lv29 awakener of the late second stage, but his health attribute is only a little more than half of the normal level of the same stage. Coupled with the strong mental attribute of 990, he has to maintain the double high pressure of physical and mental, which is simply unbearable for his already overdrawn vitality.

This time, he would use his ability to see destiny to speculate and confirm the location of the Zerg mother body...

Lin Feng estimated that after this incident, the fortune teller's remaining life would be over.

At this time, Zhang Tianming followed Lin Feng's gaze and understood the other party's worry, that the blind man might not be able to complete the mission.

So he spoke lightly:
"Don't worry, it's such a small matter, there's no need for the fortune teller to worry about it."

“Things of the moment must naturally be resolved in the moment.”

After saying that, Zhang Tianming, who was sitting on the mat in front of the stage, slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone, reached into the sleeve of his Taoist robe, took out a pair of hanging headphones, and threw it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took it and was a little hesitant.

Zhang Tianming explained:

"These are the introductory headphones that the temple tour guides bring to tourists. This time, I, a local, will introduce Mr. Lin to the customs and culture of the capital."

"The headphones have been modified. The signal tower on the roof can cover an area of ​​more than 20 kilometers. Put them on and listen to me tell you the location of the target."

"Get rid of the Zerg mother body first. As for those living altars, let the believers destroy them."

After saying that, Zhang Tianming took a deep breath, looked at the fake monk on his right, bowed his head and saluted:
"Good work!"

The fake monk then slowly stood up from the ground, shook off his fat body, and walked behind the Taoist priest.

Then he raised his huge hands and covered Zhang Tianming's head and shoulders.

Then he activated his mind-grabbing ability.

He infused the 1,500 points of extra spiritual energy absorbed and stored in his body into the young Taoist priest in front of him.

With its help, an extremely powerful spiritual energy emanated from Zhang Tianming, far exceeding the mental control that Lin Feng had felt in Jiang Yuner's villa before.

It was even comparable to the mental shock he endured when facing the Queen Mother of Shangyunxialing.

Soon, after this spiritual energy dissipated into the interior of the villa, it stopped expanding and began to shrink continuously, all returning to Zhang Tianming's body.

At this moment, the sleeves of the young Taoist's Taoist robe floated up, and ripples of light could be seen refracted around his body due to the fluctuations of energy. His face and body surface also gradually became blurred due to the continuous increase of spiritual energy.

He was like an unstable ball of energy, or a compressed high-energy explosion. He looked extremely unstable, just like a magnetic storm bomb, and could explode at any time due to uncontrollable conditions.

Until now, the identification skill that Lin Feng had been reading finally showed the result:

"Zhang Tianming, lv29/29"

"HP 990, Vt 990, SPR 3.5k"

"Super Power Awakening - Prophet"

"Prophet: Consume a large amount of spiritual energy to randomly learn about important events that may happen in the future. The closer the relationship with oneself, the more accurate the predicted content will be."

"Note: This ability has a certain degree of randomness. It can be used actively or passively under the influence of the environment."

"Awakening State of Mind - Void Observation"

"Void Observation: Form a high-energy-density protective bubble on the body surface, which temporarily transforms the brain and the entire body into spiritual energy, creating a state between the real material world and energy time and space, like escaping into the void. It can quickly obtain a large amount of energy information flow nearby and know everything about the past and the present."

"Note: The derived abilities of this state include foresight, precognition, and omniscience."

"Note: This state of mind covers a radius of about 20 kilometers, and the progress of time here can be seen at a glance."

"Note: This state of mind is extremely dangerous. Once the energy of the body and spirit exceeds the current tolerable threshold, it will completely transform into a spiritual consciousness body and escape into the void, becoming an energy consciousness state that can only be observed but not interfered with, commonly known as..."

"Psychic Ascension!"

Before Lin Feng could finish reading it, Zhang Tianming's slightly hurried voice came from the earphones on his ears:
"The first one, 36° northeast, meters!"
