Chapter 454
"Wait!" Yun Yi hurriedly said. He saw the bodies of those Desolate Men wriggle. Their necks, which had been normal, quickly elongated, and flesh scales grew. Their eyes, which had been full of curiosity, turned scarlet.
The human-headed snake stretched out and opened its mouth wide. The corners of its mouth were forcibly torn by too much force, revealing bloody teeth and oral cavity.
Po Nan's expression changed instantly. As an elite Celestial agent, he immediately summoned his totem. It was a neutral statue with its hands crossed over its eyes. The moment the totem appeared, those elongated human-headed snakes all passed through Po Nan's illusory body.
Po Nan's totem symbolized walking on his own path. He would not pay attention to other things. Its derivative ability was to put his body into a closed illusory state. As long as the power did not break through the boundary, it could not hurt him, and his totem could move freely within a certain range around him.
Whether it was the Celestial or the Desolate Men, the totem had a fatal flaw. Compared to the totem, their own bodies were particularly fragile. Once the body died, their totem would return to the ancestral land.
Compared to the Celestial Men who used fantasy technology to protect themselves, the Desolate Men developed a skill to integrate the totem into their bodies, which made up for this flaw to a certain extent. But this kind of integration skill did not last long. In general, over the years, there were many warriors who died because their bodies were killed and could not exert the power of their totem.
Po Nan's totem ability solved this problem very well. If you wanted to kill his body, you had to defeat his totem first. And his totem, as long as it was by his side, could erupt with powerful fighting power.
After the body entered the illusory state, the statue with its hands crossed over its eyes slowly put down its hands, and opened its golden eyes.
Po Nan, like Yun Yi, went to meet their forerunner, Negri. He was deeply impressed by Negri's golden eyes. Yun Yi saw another kind of future of his own from Negri, and Po Nan gained knowledge from Negri's eyes.
This part of knowledge allowed Po Nan's totem to have such a pair of golden eyes when he further drew his own totem. With this pair of eyes, most things in the world could not escape his observation.
The bodies of the Desolate Men fell to the ground and twitched. However, their necks were still being stretched out rapidly. Then, with a crisp sound, the skin on their necks was pulled off and their spines and internal organs were pulled out.
An open mouth, a long and slender neck covered in flesh scales, a spine and intestines protruding out. This was a human-bodied serpent in front of Bo Nan.
Bo Nan could see the souls of the Desolate disappearing. They were in great pain as their souls were being devoured by their bodies. The pain was so deep that it was beyond what humans could endure.
The mouths of their souls opened and closed as if they wanted to say something. As an elite agent, Bo Nan had naturally learned the Desolate Man's lip language.
These Desolate Men, who were gradually liberating their minds and used to pester him for knowledge, were now asking him questions.
Where was the Land of Eternal Peace that he had mentioned before? Why was he in so much pain now?
Screams could be heard all around them. Apparently, it was not just the few people in front of them who were mutating. Most of the Desolate Men were probably changing as well.
"Where is the peace you promised?" The words of these human-headed serpents with torn lips were a little leaky. They hissed like snakes. Seeing that they could not attack Bo Nan's body, they rushed towards his totem.
"I see it!" The golden-eyed statue of god looked at the serpents crawling over with a cold gaze. Its neck contracted slightly and then it leaped towards Bo Nan. However, it was caught by the statue with one hand. The rest of the human-headed serpents were also thrown to the ground and stepped on. The golden eyes reflected the struggling and writhing of the human-headed serpents.
From that unique perspective, Bo Nan saw more information. In the depths of the opponent's consciousness, which should be called unconscious, there was a deep malice spreading out. It was behind this malice that there was a force that transformed the Desolate Men and turned them into human-headed serpents.
"What's the situation?" Yun Yi looked at the human-headed serpent and couldn't help but frown. A desire emerged in the depths of his heart, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick his lips.
Then, Yun Yi noticed this abnormality. He calmly looked into his heart and discovered that there was a tunnel that wasn't very wide. Traces of malice were drifting out from it. Behind it, there was a force that wanted to completely spread out, but because the tunnel was too small, it was difficult for it to gush out.
"The collective unconscious of the Desolate Men? Is this what the Desolate Men do? " Yun Yi didn't know how to deal with this at the moment. He could only focus part of his attention here, or else his consciousness would be infected by the malice.
"Teacher Bo Nan, why are you grabbing me? Let me bite you, okay? I'm in so much pain, let me bite you to vent, okay?!" The human-headed serpent struggled in pain. His pain didn't only come from the strength of Bo Nan's totem, but also from the torture in the depths of his soul.
Bo Nan's expression changed, and the totem's hand seemed to loosen a little. The human-headed serpent quickly turned, opened its mouth, and was about to bite Bo Nan's hand.
"Wait …" Seeing this, Yun Yi wanted to stop it, but he thought of something and stopped himself.
In the golden eyes, one could see that in the depths of the human-headed serpent's unconscious, the wisp of malice gushed out some dark "poison" the moment the big serpent was about to bite. The malice on it made one shiver.
And at this moment, the statue's hand tightened, and directly tore off the human-headed serpent's neck, taking out the part of the throat where the power existed. In the bloody throat, like a black worm, the "poison" was wriggling wildly, trying to burrow into Bo Nan's totem. Unfortunately, Bo Nan was prepared, and had already prepared a cage made of sacrificial power to bind it.
This power was similar to the totem. Once it entered the totem, it might even mutate.
"It's this thing. They spread out through the unconscious of the Desolate Men and transformed them." Bo Nan's statue was expressionless, and even his voice maintained that ethereal tone.
But Yun Yi, who was familiar with him, knew that Bo Nan must be extremely angry now.
"There was this thing in the depths of my consciousness just now, but I think my consciousness has changed compared to the Desolate Men. It's basically impossible for the other party to infect me." Yun Yi looked at the wriggling human-headed serpent and said with a frown.
"Through the collective unconscious spread of the mutated poison, only the Desolate Men who have changed their consciousness have some ability to resist. To truly resist this spread, one must walk on the road of eternal peace." Yun Yi roughly evaluated the black worm-like poison and shook his head. Most of the Desolate Men they recruited these days had just liberated their consciousness. Except for a small number, most of them had not reached the point where their consciousness had changed.
