Chapter 1439 Mental Attack

With the strange behavior and words of Qingyi Duxing and Huan Yu, all the experts present were stunned for a time.

Were Qingyi Duxing and Huan Yu monsters?

Before, they would just hack and kill monsters when they saw them, without so much fuss. They would fight if they could win, and run if they couldn't. But now, they couldn't even tell if a monster was a monster or not. How could they fight?

The whole place fell silent, everyone looking at each other.

Because now, whether to attack or not was impossible, they could only stand stiffly on the spot, guarding against each other, afraid that the companions around them might be monsters in disguise.

Huan Yu and Qingyi Duxing were also wary of each other, the strangeness of the scene was absolutely unheard of and unseen by everyone present.

However, the strange atmosphere didn't last for more than a few seconds when suddenly the sky shattered. The sky, which should have been sunny, was now gray, with thunder and lightning all around.

Without knowing when, the people around had disappeared, and a monster with a huge mouth, five or six meters tall and like a soul entity, had swallowed nearly half of her soul.

She could even see a dazed version of herself standing motionless in front of the monster, like a puppet…

But a magic blade pierced the heart of the monster, causing it to let out a piercing scream that made her head feel like it was about to explode.

"What the hell is going on?"

Qingyi Duxing, in her soul form, was at a loss, completely not understanding what was happening.

At this time, she really couldn't tell what was real and what was fake, as if she was either waking up from a dream or still dreaming.

Before Qingyi Duxing could react, the pained soul behemoth pounced again, intending to devour the delicious meal in front of it as soon as possible.

Facing the soul behemoth, Qingyi Duxing, back in her body, had no ability to resist. Just the approach of the soul behemoth made Qingyi Duxing feel a burst of fear and a throbbing pain in her brain, unable to make any resistance.

But a figure appeared in front of the soul behemoth in an instant, and magic blades transformed into countless starlight, spinning and shooting out.

-34514724!

-71514654!

-35164412!

…

A series of more than a dozen terrifying damages emerged from the head of the soul behemoth, directly devouring all its health points, and then more than a dozen crystal fragments dropped, turning into countless starlight and dissipating.

"Black Flame?"

Qingyi Duxing, who was mentally exhausted, looked at Shi Feng standing not far away, and couldn't believe it, her tone full of uncertainty.

"You were hit by their mental attack, and nearly half of your mind was devoured. It's best not to move." Shi Feng glanced at Qingyi Duxing in her soul form and said directly without explaining too much, "But fortunately, you finally got out of that area, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save you."

"Mental attack?" Qingyi Duxing was stunned. "How is that possible!"

She was hearing this term for the first time, and everything that had just happened was exactly like reality. Such a thing was simply unheard of.

She had experienced earth-shattering battles, but such a terrifying illusion was hard to imagine as an attack from a monster.

"In God's Domain, nothing is impossible, especially in this forbidden zone of mankind." Shi Feng looked at the incredulous Qingyi Duxing and couldn't help shaking his head. "The danger of God's Domain is not only the strength of monsters and the harshness of the environment. They also have many unknown attack methods and traps. It's not just physical and magical attacks. Even if players have far more combat power than them, they will still die if they are not careful."

"Just like these monsters now, they have mastered mental attacks. Even if you have strong basic attributes, as long as you are hit, if you don't have extremely strong will and spirit to break through their mental restraints, you will still die!"

This is why players not only have to improve their basic attributes, but their mental will is also very important.

In the early days of God's Domain, players hadn't had much contact with mental attacks. In fact, some people had encountered them, but they just didn't know it. But after level 120, especially after the system was greatly upgraded, mental attacks would become very common.

If a player's mental will is not strong enough, even if they have extremely strong basic attributes, they will still have no power to resist.

Just like Qingyi Duxing now, she was completely trapped in the mental space by the soul devourer and couldn't get out at all. Fortunately, Qingyi Duxing didn't die in the mental space, otherwise it would be useless for him to save her. At most, he would just be saving an empty shell.

In God's Domain, dying in the mental space is the same as dying outside. To put it bluntly, it is soul death, which is why most players didn't dare to provoke those Tier 5 NPCs back then.

Soul death!

Because Tier 5 NPCs also have mental attack methods, and mental death can be said to be more terrible than physical death. If you are not careful, your entire account will be gone, and you can only create a new character and start all over again…

After Shi Feng finished speaking, he continued to control the magic blade to save others, completely ignoring Qingyi Duxing, whose soul had completely returned to her body and whose mental state was extremely weak.

"Is this the real forbidden zone of life?"

Qingyi Duxing opened her eyes and looked at this world full of death and destruction. At this time, she truly felt that this forbidden zone of life was much more terrifying than she had imagined.

Compared with the previous battles, the two were not on the same level at all.

And she had never thought that the battles in virtual reality games would be in this form.

Even just now, she didn't even have the slightest power to resist. Clearly, the soul devourer wasn't very strong. From the attributes alone, she completely crushed the soul devourer, but the approach of the soul devourer made her brain hurt so much that she couldn't fight at all, and couldn't even control her body…

And at this time, it wasn't just Qingyi Duxing who was hit, but also dozens of other people.

The only people who were not hit were only nineteen people.

Among the people who were not hit, the number of people in the Shura adventurer team was overwhelmingly dominant. A total of nineteen people were not hit, and the Shura adventurer team accounted for eight of them, while Chi Di and Zhan Hun Buluo each had only five.

At this time, everyone was desperately trying to rescue those who had been hit, but some people were clearly too late.

The speed at which these soul devourers devoured was not the same, some were slow and some were fast. It was obvious that some people resisted strongly and some people resisted weakly.

The souls of those who resisted weakly had been swallowed up to almost nothing…

Qingyi Duxing saw Mu Xiaoxiao in the Shura adventurer team, who was about the same age as her and still fighting, and was also stunned for a moment.

"Am I that much worse than her?" Qingyi Duxing was full of surprise and incomprehension towards Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still fighting the soul devourer.

She considered herself to be a leader among her peers, and was also recognized in the guild as a genius who could rank in the top three, but now she was not even as good as Mu Xiaoxiao, whose combat level hadn't even reached the Vacuum Realm…

However, before Qingyi Duxing could recover from the collapse, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and even made her unable to move even after returning to her body. She had a feeling that her soul was being stared at by something terrible.

"How could this be!"

"You've got to be kidding me! How can we fight this?"

At this time, it wasn't just Qingyi Duxing who had this feeling. Everyone present felt the same way. Even Huan Yu and Immortal Battle Heart, looking in the direction that made their souls tremble, felt a burst of fear.

They saw a three-headed soul behemoth, more than thirty meters tall, walking over step by step, each step making everyone's souls tremble and fear.
