Before his voice faded away, all the folds started squirming madly.
Tentacles covered in thorns shot out from the folds, swinging towards the two's vitals.
The "walls of flesh" that looked like intestines also shrank rapidly, as if they wanted to envelop the duo tightly inside.
A large amount of viscous acid that looked like digestive fluid gushed out from the front and back. It looked like it wanted to eat away their skin and bones.
This nightmarish scene was enough to destroy most people's mental defenses and reduce their mental strength index to zero. In fact, they might even be scared to death.
But a monster like Meng Chao was clearly not one of them.
He had a soul that had been refined by the apocalypse, and he had harvested more than ten thousand monsters of all shapes and sizes. He could eat chili oil brain and stir-fried beef in the dissection room without batting an eyelid. This sort of scene could not scare him.
Of course, illusion attacks were usually used together with physical attacks.
The real was fake, and the fake was real. It was difficult for the target to tell the difference and catch them off guard.
This was Lu Siya's forte.
As a Spirit Sensor, once Meng Chao reminded her, she immediately realized that she had fallen into an illusion.
She could acutely analyze which attack was an illusion created by interfering with the nervous system and which attack was real.
"It's here!"
Lu Siya aimed at the seemingly empty darkness and fired.
Meng Chao did not hesitate. He worked with her and fired at full force. He even tossed eight napalm bombs over.
As the flames rose, the illusion was torn to shreds with distorted screeches.
The acid, fur, tentacles, and walls of flesh all disappeared.
A sturdy floor appeared under their feet again.
Gao Ye and the Demonic Abyss Eye tumbled violently not far away. They used their collisions to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
"What should we do?"
Lu Siya asked Meng Chao with her gaze.
The enemy was in a hurry to escape, so it might not have the mood or time to kill them.
But with their strength, it would be a little difficult for them to kill the two Supernatural Entities.
"Pester him like a dog skin plaster, pester him!"
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's head. "The illusion this guy created is so clumsy. It must have drained itself to the point of collapsing. It's definitely not as strong as it looks. We can hold it back!"
To create illusions, one had to pay attention to the right time, the right place, and the right people. It had to be done slowly and subtly.
It was clearly an underground tunnel a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a wriggling intestine. It was so illogical that anyone with a brain would know it was fake.
Once someone saw through the falsity of the illusion, the illusion would be considered a failure.
Meng Chao did not believe that a boss-level mental attack-type abnormal beast like the Demonic Abyss Eye would not understand such a basic logic.
However, it was no longer able to create a natural transition, an illusion that was both real and illusory.
'For an entire night, it used its brainwaves to microcontrol at least ten thousand monsters. It was also heavily injured by my mistress and Master Luo. It's even badly burned. This future Supernatural Entity that hasn't matured to begin with is at the end of its rope. It's holding on to its last breath, right? “
'From the start to the end, it only ate Zhou Tianshui to replenish its spirit energy. Since it came up with a major scheme tonight, that's far from enough.
"Therefore, it doesn't matter whether I win or lose. What matters most is to make it consume more spiritual energy and exploit the last drop of its body fluid!
Both sides were aware of this.
Hence, the Demonic Abyss Eye stopped launching useless illusion attacks and stopped trying to invade Meng Chao's incredibly strange mind.
Instead, it used all its mental strength to give orders to Gao Ye.
The Ultimate Sandworm, which was also badly battered and injured, swelled up again.
Like a king cobra that had seen its prey, it raised its neck at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
Both of them sensed a pressure that was ten times stronger than the one in the underwater tunnel.
Looking at the other party's high-speed rotation that could crush an armored vehicle's esophagus, the two of them simultaneously gulped with great difficulty.
Then, Meng Chao did something that left Lu Siya dumbfounded.
He tossed the shoulder-mounted Vulcan Cannon on his back.
Then, he threw away the sharp mandibles in his hands.
He spread his arms and stood in front of Gao Ye's gaping mouth.
"Gao Ye, wake up. Do you really know what you're doing? Are you really willing to become a monster's puppet? “
Meng Chao glared at her, and he let out a thunderous shout.
"…"
Lu Siya knew that she should not complain to Meng Chao at such a critical moment.
But he could not help it. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Meng Chao, what are you thinking?"
"Shh, I'm trying to use my silver tongue to convince the Ultimate Sandworm that hasn't lost all of its humanity."
"Before the Deity Realm superhumans arrive, this might be the only chance we have to keep it here."
"It can't be?"
"Are you going to repeat what you said to the Ultimate Sandworm's clone when we were in the underwater tunnel? Are you going to repeat it here? At that time, your trash talk attack was completely ineffective. No matter how glib your tongue was, the other party still beat you up so badly that even your parents wouldn't be able to recognize you! “
"… That's different."
"I told you, it's a clone. It only has thick nerve bundles and sturdy myelin sheaths, but it doesn't have a real soul.
"And the Ultimate Sandworm in front of us is Gao Ye's real body. It's the only one with a proud, unyielding, and sacred soul that belongs exclusively to humans.
"My sincere words are enough to make even zombies cry. As long as there's even a shred of humanity in this huge creature's ugly body, it will be touched by me.
"That's right, right? Gao Ye, I believe in you. Please believe in me too!"
Sincerity and passion shone in Meng Chao's eyes. He extended his hands to the Ultimate Sandworm.
The creature's response was to open its mouth and spit out a foul-smelling tornado.
The tornado was instantly ignited halfway through. It was mixed with an impact wave, and when it hit Meng Chao's face, it turned into a roaring Febrile Typhoon. It instantly blew him eight meters away, and he crashed into the wall.
"Ah!"
Meng Chao screamed in pain and coughed up blood before he fell to the ground.
"… I realized that I can't tell how intelligent you are and how you act."
Lu Siya quickly helped him up. She knelt down on one knee and aimed the shoulder-mounted Fire God Cannon at the Ultimate Sandworm. She looked wary and puzzled. "Is your brain … in some sort of 'cooldown' mode because it overloaded itself for a night?"
"I-I'm fine."
Meng Chao coughed up a mouthful of sticky blood. He did not have time to use his spirit energy to check his injuries. He whispered, "Big Sis Ya, scan the temperature of the abnormal beast's mastermind in the abyss. “
"What?"
Lu Siya was a little stunned. She could not understand what the situation in front of her had to do with the temperature of the abnormal beast's mastermind.
However, when she thought about Meng Chao's shocking accuracy in his tactical predictions that night, she still activated her Spirit Sensor ability and stared at the Demonic Abyss Eye seriously.
"Strange. Why is this thing's temperature continuously increasing?"
Lu Siya mumbled. "It seems to be very weak and in a lot of pain. I can sense its pain and anger. I can also sense … a subtle mental connection between it and the Ultimate Sandworm. “
"That is to say, I guessed correctly. It is indeed controlling Gao Ye without stopping!"
A confident smile appeared on Meng Chao's face.
Based on history, Gao Ye would need to go through a series of modifications for at least one or two years before he could completely turn into the Supernatural Entity, Earthquake.
Since Meng Chao had defeated Lin Chuan and the White Spirit and changed the outcome of the northern offense, he was forced to bring out the secret weapon that the monster civilization had yet to fully develop.
Everything that happened tonight went against Gao Ye's nature and will.
To make him obey the abnormal beast's commands, the Demonic Abyss Eye had to be continuously hypnotizing him and controlling him.
And this sort of control would naturally use up a lot of spirit energy and mental power.
But the Demonic Abyss Eye's spirit energy and mental power were already at their limits.
Just now, when it yanked its mental power out of Meng Chao's brain, the mental connection between it and Gao Ye became unstable for a short period of time, and Meng Chao noticed it.
"Attacking me wasn't your original intention, right, Gao Ye?"
Meng Chao wiped away the blood at the corners of his mouth and put on a brilliant smile. He staggered to his feet and arrived in front of the Ultimate Sandworm again. "Perhaps the human part of you is suffering from sclerosis. Your soul is bound to an ugly body, and this monster is gradually taking away your senses and control of this body. You're forced to attack me.
"What I want to tell you is that no matter how strong the monster's brainwashing and control abilities are, right now, it's at its weakest. This is also the only time you can break free of its restraints and regain your sense of self and dignity!
"Didn't you once tell me that a human's appearance isn't important? It doesn't matter what the physical body that contains the soul looks like. As long as you have a human soul and can use all your strength to contribute to civilization, that's what a human should be like in the future.
"Then prove it to me.
"Now, prove to me that there is still an incredibly noble soul in this incredibly ugly body. No matter what your nerves, cells, and genes have become, and no matter how much poison and lies this monster has injected into your soul, you are still yourself. You are Gao Ye from Earth, you were born in Dragon City, and you are willing to fight for humanity! “
These words were just short of tears.
Even Meng Chao himself was touched.
Takano seemed to be very moved as well.
Hence, he opened his mouth again and spat out a large amount of shattered stones from the depths of his mouth cavity. They were like howling bullets that hit the walls and caused sparks to fly. Meng Chao also covered his head and fled.
"It can't be?"
Lu Siya activated her battle armor and helped Meng Chao block a few of the shattered stones. She said in disbelief, "You looked so confident and tricked me into chasing after you just so you could say the stupidest thing and get hit the hardest?"
