Chapter 1 He Needs Some Guarantee

Ever since he started frequently interacting with the eldest son, Hao Ren knew he had to strengthen his resistance to mental attacks, because that tentacle monster had no mercy and knew all the weaknesses of all creatures. Powerful shields and sturdy armor might make a person invulnerable like Superman, but the fragile mind is always the most difficult soft spot to defend. It is difficult to arm, and once it is breached, it is beyond redemption. Hao Ren had already gained a much tougher mind than ordinary people after body strengthening and long-term training, but he knew he still needed something to save his life as insurance: his own mental strength was a hard indicator. Once it was broken through, no matter how strong the warrior, he would not be able to save himself, so at that time, only powerful equipment could save his life.

The Crystal Core Research Station provided him with help in this regard: the prison specially used to deal with the eldest son was full of structures that could isolate mental attacks. Its main container shell was covered with an array of protective crystals. These little things could isolate any unauthorized mental activity, even if the eldest son woke up, its mental roar could not be transmitted even an inch outside the space station.

When Hao Ren left the Crystal Core Research Station, he just took some things he felt would be useful, and now it seems that his opportunistic move helped a lot. But regrettably, he only took one protective crystal—hopefully this thing has enough power.

It should be enough: theoretically, below the level of gods, no mortal species has more mental power than the eldest son.

Hao Ren, Lily, and Vivian quickly returned to the front of the palace. The gate here was broken, and a tunnel emitting a burning breath stretched out behind the gate, with restless and active magic echoing in the surrounding water. They dared not delay and rushed in directly, but they did not relax their vigilance along the way: this is the Deep Sea Realm, the territory of the sirens. Who knows if the brain monster that occupied the queen's body has learned the sirens' power to control water. It is better to be careful here.

After passing several gates, Lily suddenly pointed to the front not far away and exclaimed, "Look! Sirens!"

Hao Ren swam in front holding a silver spear. He saw more than a dozen sirens lying crisscrossed on the ground not far ahead. Judging from their dress and the style of the trident in their hands, these should be members of the queen's guard—that is, the group most severely mentally controlled by the brain monster. Hao Ren carefully used his spear to poke the body of one of the sirens, and found that she had no wounds on her body, but was staring with her eyes as if she had lost her soul.

"The brain monster may be gathering its strength," Vivian immediately reacted, "The puppets in the city should have lost their ability to move!"

Hao Ren raised his spear and swam towards the depths of the palace, past the "corpses" of these sirens.

As they were about to reach the inner chamber of the queen's bedroom, bursts of explosions and the screams of some kind of magic had already hit them, mixed with strange hissing sounds. The three quickly felt that the surrounding water was filled with an electric field that made their skin tingle. This electric field reaction was far stronger than what they felt when facing the brain monster in the underground secret room: the monster's main body is here!

At this time, another explosion came from the front. Hao Ren saw a small figure flying out of the palace room along with the shock wave. He quickly stepped forward to catch it and found that it was Elizabeth.

The little demon girl was blackened, but she didn't seem to be seriously injured, just a little confused. She shook her head in Hao Ren's arms for a long time before concentrating. Just now, she even subconsciously wanted to attack Lily next to her, but fortunately she woke up in time.

"It's so exciting!" The little demon girl opened her mouth and spit out a puff of black smoke, then coughed, "Cough cough... Uncle Ren, go over and help quickly. Now only Dad and two demon hunters are still conscious! I wanted to drag Sister Nangong and her brother out just now, but I accidentally blew myself away!"

When Hao Ren heard this, he quickly clenched the protective crystal and rushed in first, while not forgetting to turn his head and remind Lily and Vivian: "Don't stay too far away from me! Try to stay near the protective crystal!"

As soon as he rushed into the palace room, Hao Ren felt a terrifying heat wave hit him. He turned his head and saw a lava demon five meters tall standing in the center of the room. Izhaks had even released his main body.

The roof of this palace area had been completely blown away, and apart from a circle of dilapidated walls, there was nothing intact around. The most eye-catching thing on the scene was Izhaks' huge body, and not far in front of him was a chaotic and violent torrent of water. The torrent of water was constantly twisted and transformed into various strange shapes, and in its core, a woman's figure could be vaguely seen—it was the siren queen whose body had been occupied. The violent torrent of water was constantly stirring up bursts of whirlpools strong enough to tear steel apart, accompanied by strong electric fields, sharp water blades, ubiquitous mental attacks, and various other magical effects, all bombarding Izhaks. Izhaks still maintained his sanity and was still fighting hard, but obviously his combat power was already hindered in this deep water, coupled with the unexpected mental attacks, this fierce man was actually suppressed for the first time.

The giant demon waved his hand and shattered the whirlpools that were rushing towards him. The lava on his arms continued to turn into iron slag and obsidian fragments and fell to the ground. A large amount of bubbles and smoke almost completely enveloped him in a haze. A muffled thunderous voice came: "Take the others away first!"

The violent torrent of water immediately discovered a new enemy on the battlefield. Hao Ren felt for a moment that the water in his body seemed to be out of control and was about to gush out, but then the shield system reacted and blocked this fatal sneak attack. Hao Ren calmed down and found that there were a few bright lights flashing in the smoke behind Izhaks.

He quickly led Lily and Vivian over and found that three demon hunters were fighting there—Hassu and Bai Huo were joining forces to suppress Tutan, who had obviously lost control. The taciturn tall demon hunter's eyes were filled with chaotic shadows, and he was wielding two strangely shaped scimitars to attack everything within sight. The blades of his swords were shining with magical light, and every time they were cut down, a sharp blade mark that lasted for several seconds would be left in the water. Some scattered stones and metals that fell on those sharp marks would be divided into two in an instant. Hassu was using a hand crossbow to contain Tutan's movements. Small crossbow bolts constantly burst out flashes of light on the two scimitars, restricting Tutan's attacks to a very small range. Although Bai Huo was also helping next to him, her condition was obviously not very good: her eyes were also being shrouded in chaotic shadows, and white holy flames occasionally窜窜 around her, sometimes attacking Tutan or the siren queen, but sometimes they strangely surged towards Hassu.

Even for a genius demon hunter once in a thousand years, Bai Huo's mental strength was still too immature.

"You guys get out of here quickly, stay away from here!" Hao Ren roared at Hassu, while a strong sense of crisis attacked his heart. He hurriedly dodged, and saw that the place where he was originally standing suddenly turned into pieces as if being cut by countless blades, which made his soul fly out: that attack was invisible and intangible, completely high-pressure and high-speed water blades condensed in the water, and he almost got hit.

Izhaks let out an angry roar, and suddenly summoned his magic sword and slashed at the siren queen, which interrupted the opponent's attack and blew away half of the room's walls. Tutan's spirit also cheered up a little in an instant. When Hassu saw this situation, he immediately signaled Bai Huo to take Tutan away, and he turned and rushed towards Izhaks: "I can resist mental attacks, you go help those mixed-race siblings."

Hao Ren had already seen the location of the Nangong siblings at this time, in a corner of the remaining wall of the room, where there was a big bubble. He clenched the protective crystal and rushed over, and saw Nangong Sanba lying in the bubble in a coma, his clothes ragged, but he couldn't see any wounds. Nangong Wuyue was next to him throwing various healing spells like she had taken the wrong medicine—Nangong Sanba's injuries were obviously healed by this excessive treatment.

Vivian immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wuyue's tail: "Wuyue, take your brother out, the farther the better."

Nangong Wuyue turned her head and let out a strange hiss at Vivian, and then a lot of healing spells were applied.

Lily pointed to Wuyue's eyes and shouted, "She's also been controlled!"

Only then did Hao Ren notice that Nangong Wuyue's behavior was exactly the same as Tutan's just now, her eyes were chaotic, her mind was unclear, and she was throwing spells randomly, but soon he felt a sense of being utterly screwed—

This good-for-nothing siren… only knows healing spells!

Nangong Wuyue, who had completely lost her mind, didn't know the surrounding situation at all. Now she was using all her spells under some kind of instinct. Healing rings and flowing water激 were covering a range of dozens of meters as if they didn't cost money. Just now she was frantically healing her brother, and now Hao Ren and the three of them were also covered by the healing spells. At the same time, she pulled her tail back from Vivian's hand, and quickly poked Hao Ren's arm with the tip of her tail while hissing "roaring"... but this was completely harmless.

A cowardly nanny who has put all her points into healing talents, even if she is mentally controlled by the enemy, is still so harmless...

Lily looked at the healing light shining on her body and stretched comfortably: "Why do I feel that Wuyue is more useful now than before?"

Vivian rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, at least she's not cowardly when she's insane—but her combat power is still so渣."

Wuyue shook her head, raised the tip of her tail and aimed at Hao Ren's arm, and continued to poke poke poke...
