"It's a super brainwave amplifier!"
Long Yangjun said, "The Nepenthe believers installed it on an excavator and modified it into a mobile one. They also tied countless enhancement coils around it. As long as it is connected to the energy factory, their brainwaves will be magnified countless times, and it will be possible for the residents in the underground towns thousands of kilometers away to perceive it. Let me make it clear in advance. It is entirely their own work and has nothing to do with me. Also, I highly doubt the reliability of the thing. It is probably going to explode the moment it is connected to the energy factory, right?"
"That's not important. The important thing is —"
Scratching his chin, Li Yao said quickly, "Why does this thing look so familiar to me? I seem to have seen it somewhere before. Now that I think of it, we dug out similar magical equipment on Kunlun and deep inside the Nuwa warship. It was the amplification and interference magical equipment that the experts of mental attacks of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan used to enhance their mental combat ability in the primeval war, right?"
"Exactly."
Long Yangjun nodded and said, "The Nepenthe believers told me that they dug it off the head of a gigantic body deep inside a primeval relic. It should be a piece of mental warfare magical equipment of the Pangu Clan or the Nuwa Clan.
"You know that the primeval war between the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan was a war about whether the soul should be sealed or unleashed to the maximum. Both parties tried their best to 'brainwash' each other. The Pangu Clan wanted to inculcate the ideas of 'sealing feelings and desires' into the brains of the Nuwa Clan, while the Nuwa Clan wanted to 'infect' the extraterrestrial devils in their brains to the Pangu Clan. Therefore, both parties boasted countless experts of mental warfare. The mutual transmission, interference, blockage, and corruption of brainwaves were one of the main forms of war. It is not strange at all that such a piece of magical equipment was excavated from the primeval relics!"
Li Yao mumbled, "I wonder if this' super brainwave amplifier 'is the same model as the magical equipment that we excavated on Kunlun and deep inside the Nuwa warship. When I returned to the Federation from the Ancient Sages Sector, Jiang Shaoyang, a master of refining from the Federation, had already repaired a few pieces of magical equipment of the same type as the prototypes of the interferential magical equipment on the Federation's starships. They could also be modified into pieces of mental training magical equipment that could improve the intensity of brainwaves.
"Even I trained in seclusion in the relevant 'mental training room' for a while, trying to understand the mysteries of brainwaves. I even dismantled and modified one of them!
"As I recall, the magical equipment of this type does not consume a lot of energy. Why do you have to occupy the geothermal factories to activate it?"
"Come on. You were already a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator at that time. Even a member of the Pangu Clan had been slain by you. Your brainwaves were unbelievably strong. Naturally, it was easy for you to use such magical equipment for mental warfare!"
Long Yangjun said, "However, most of the Nepenthe believers were ordinary people whose spiritual roots had not been awakened. Compared to the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, their brainwaves were too feeble to be recognized. Even if they could resonate with them, how could they drive the magical equipment that only the deities in the primeval era could use?
"Besides, the underground towns were blocked by layers of rocks. Even the most intense waves could barely be transmitted through the rocks. In order to transmit their brainwaves to thousands of kilometers away, they naturally had to amplify and magnify them crazily, which required the support of incessant, enormous energy!"
"Got it."
Li Yao mumbled. Rolling his eyes again and again, he considered the new plan, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. "In other words, if it were not them but me, the messy amplification coils around and the enormous energy in the energy factory wouldn't be needed. The crystals that I carried with me and the spiritual energy inside my body would be enough to support it for … three to five minutes, right?"
Long Yangjun's eyes widened again. "Hey, hey, hey. Don't be outrageous. Your soul was seriously damaged in the battle against Blackstar the Great. You are already asking to be killed by charging forward and fighting so many enemies. Why are you exhausting your soul like that? Do you feel that you are not dying fast enough?"
Ignoring her, Li Yao went on, "You said that the feelings and desires in my head were too intense for me to enter the 'telepathic state' and experience the amazing telepathy among the Nepenthe believers. But if I don't want to enter the telepathic state but merely transmit my intense brainwaves, can all the Nepenthe believers' receive 'them?
"Perhaps my brainwaves cannot spread to thousands of kilometers away, but they can be transmitted as far as possible. At the very least, it shouldn't be a problem for them to cover the entire range of the Great Iron Plants and the hundreds of underground towns nearby, right?"
Long Yangjun couldn't have burst into fury. "You're crazy! You're crazy!"
"About that —"
Li Yao smiled, baring his white and sharp teeth. "Didn't you know it a long time ago?"
Long Yangjun was rendered speechless. She was of a mind to roll her eyes and roar at the sky.
Li Yao extended his right hand to Long Yangjun. With the most dominating and irresistible brilliance beaming out of his eyes, he simply said, "Help me!"
…
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! The battle inside and outside of the Great Iron Plants was heated the moment it began.
While the Immortal Cultivators were unparalleled in strength and had controlled all the fixed firing points and the defense rune arrays, the Nepenthe believers were the natives of the place. They were familiar with every mine on the wall and every magical equipment in the factories. Although the attack was launched in a hurry, they had installed crystal bombs in all the critical parts a long time ago.
At this moment, the crystal bombs exploded one after another, filling the entire factory with fatal black smoke. However hard the enormous fans above their heads sucked, they could not draw away the intense mist at all.
In the mist of battle, sparks were glittering nonstop. The broken limbs of human beings were tossed into the air together with the iron shells of the battle puppets, turning into bright fireballs.
They were like ten thousand abnormally expanded fireflies that feasted on the lives of human beings and danced crazily in the smoke and fire!
Because of the haste of the attack, the nature of the Nepenthe believers as a mob was exposed in the first second.
With their valiance and fearlessness, the miners and farmers charged forward incessantly and seemed to have gained an advantage on the battlefield.
However, the advantage did not translate into many achievements. The lives of countless people were sacrificed for nothing, and only a few battle puppets were destroyed. The Immortal Cultivators, on the other hand, hid behind the fixed firing points and the defense rune arrays as soon as they saw the unfavorable situation. Not in a hurry to fight the crazy mobs, they simply held their ground and waited for the reinforcements of Li Minghui's elites.
If they could not be organized effectively, the blind riot would only be completely suppressed sooner than expected.
The moment Li Minghui's elites showed up at the latest, the knell of Nepenthe would be tolled.
However, for the regular Nepenthe believers, those were not problems that they could consider at all.
They were simply dwelling in the reverberation of their brainwaves and carrying out the orders that they had discussed in advance mechanically.
The dozens of Nepenthe believers who were driving and protecting the enormous penetrator only wanted to deliver the "super brainwave magnifier" to the geothermal factory at the center of the Great Iron Plants without caring about anything.
Despite the thunders and obstacles on their way, and the protection that should've appeared on the flanks was not in place, and it was very likely that the vehicle would be destroyed on the way. However, for the rebels who lacked training and experience, they did not know what else to do except to carry out the original plan at all.
As it turned out, they ran into trouble not long after they drove out of the mines.
Because of the haste of the attack, the cover forces in all aspects were not in place. They were soon discovered by the three battle puppets.
The weird form of the penetrator attracted the attention of the battle puppets. Those battle puppets seemed to have been set into the reconnaissance mode. They would approach, scan, and destroy anything unusual on the battlefield. The battle puppets that were in the shape of human beings suddenly turned their heads and joints 180 degrees, extended a second pair of ancillary claws from their bodies, and turned into a six-legged crawling state. They jumped to the top of the cave and crawled toward the enormous penetrator from three directions quickly.
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu!
The Nepenthe believers who were protecting the "super brainwave magnifier" all opened fire at the battle puppets. It was a pity that they had not received professional shooting training, and the recoil of the gun-type magical equipment was too high for them. The storm bolts were spluttering on the rocks, and countless stalagmites and stalactites were spluttering. However, except for one battle puppet that was tied up by almost ten lines of fire and had sparks splashing out, the other two battle puppets both jumped to everyone without being damaged at all.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Sharp claws protruded out of the front ends of the arms and feet of the battle puppets, which began to hum and vibrate at a high frequency. The cold redness in their eyes locked onto all the Nepenthe believers one after another, as if icicles had been stabbed into their throats brutally!
"Ahhh!"
A tall and brawny Nepenthe believer raised the vibration pickaxe that was used to break rocks. If it hit the target, the metal skull of the battle puppet would certainly be pierced through. However, before he completed his vigorous but too sluggish movement, the battle puppet that had been instilled with tremendous slaughter skills had already blinked out agilely and stood on his pickaxe after folding weirdly.
The claws tore the pickaxe apart softly, leaving only half of the handle in the hands of the Nepenthe believer. The battle puppet seemed to be dancing an elegant dance of flesh and blood as it slashed the blade that was vibrating thousands of times per second at the neck of the Nepenthe believer softly.
It was not a battle at all but a one-sided slaughter.
The Nepenthe believer could not even see the movement of the battle puppet clearly. He could not even react with his nerves.
However, right when the edge of the blade was about to cut the throat and the carotid artery of the Nepenthe believer, the metal spine that connected the crystal processor and the six sharp limbs was grabbed by somebody, pulled backward brutally, and pulled out by brute force!
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
