Chapter 1104: Sucked dry
According to rumors from his previous life, similar to the use of soul beads, the energy body is said to be able to enhance a certain aspect of the characteristics of the evolved. Some say it can increase mental power, some say it can increase the power of skills, some say it can increase the total amount of elemental abilities, and some say it can add an additional attack method.
With Ye Zhongming's status in his previous life, he naturally didn't know which one was true, so he wanted to test it out.
Of course, he could only do it due to his confidence in his own strength, otherwise, the energy body's weird way of attacking the nervous system of humans would be terrifying to any evolved.
Seeing how the evolved around were so panicked, they had probably experienced the power of such lifeforms.
Just as Ye Zhongming was thinking about it, a male evolved accidentally took an extra step out of the formation, and an energy body grabbed the chance. Several invisible things with faint shadows surged into his body. Even though he already had a four-star evolved, he couldn’t fight back. His body shook violently, and then he stopped moving.
After that, his eyes turned black, and he suddenly turned around and slashed at his companion next to him with the weapon he had in his hand.
These things happened really quickly. His allies on his side were concentrating on dealing with these energy bodies and did not pay attention to it at first. When the sword lit up, they realized that it was already too late. The evolved who was slashed, screamed. There was a slice from the left of his neck down to his right rib.
"Kill him!"
A voice of grief and anger rang out, and the spear in the hand of the evolved on the other side pierced the chest of the human being controlled by the energy body. When he pulled it out, a large amount of blood splattered. There was also a much thicker shadow.
These energy bodies have no physical bodies and were immune to physical attacks, but once they enter the human body, they become vulnerable to attacks. As long as they did not exit the body and the human died, they would also die.
This energy body didn’t retreat in time. After appearing, its color turned darker, then red, and then it disappeared with an explosion.
This caused their formation to collapse. The energy bodies found a chance to break through and charge in.
All of a sudden, light shone in the dark tunnel.
The humans couldn’t care about cooldown or mental energy. They used their skills to attack the shadows.
Ye Zhongming stopped and looked to the side. Earth Sand Moon Blade appeared in his hands, and he slashed toward that side.
He sliced an energy body that wanted to sneak attack him.
Blade light was the purest energy attack.
He sensed the energy dissipate and kept the blade. He did nothing until he raised his right hand and grabbed something.
There was an energy body that pounced for him like a soul.
He feared it would scatter, so he didn’t use the glove’s ability. But he noticed the energy body passed through his fist and pounced toward him.
If he were just a four—or five-star evolved, the energy body would succeed. But he was close to eight stars and retracted his hand instantly.
But he didn’t know how to subdue it. It was a crucial moment, and he couldn’t take a risk. Since the glove couldn’t grab it, he knew he had to use something with energy. He instinctively activated the Soul Refining Technique.
After merging his jobs, the moment he had a close-up fight with an enemy, after Cloud Slice was taken as his killing move, he often used Soul Refining Technique, relying on his mental energy to destroy his enemy’s will.
This had already become a habit.
This time was the same. He instinctively used the Soul Refining Technique on that energy body.
A magical thing happened.
That energy body was restrained, and its soul-like body started to twist. It wanted to break free from Ye Zhongming’s hand, but it could do nothing. Not only that, but it sensed its energy surge into that human’s body.
The energy body’s source was energy. If they lost it, that meant that they would die. The energy body tried everything to escape, but it was useless. It was sucked dry by Ye Zhongming within a few seconds.
Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and sensed the foreign energy in his body. He didn’t know how to use it.
If the Soul Refining Technique wasn’t at the top level, they could probably help upgrade it. Then, what about the Scorching Flame Technique?
Ye Zhongming didn’t know what to do, but he dared to try.
He activated the battle technique and tried to use the energy based on his cultivation habits.
Moments later, he smiled.
It worked!
The energy was absorbed by the technique and raised its strength slightly.
He turned his attention back to the battlefield, like a kid who found candy. He looked at those energy bodies like he was looking at loved ones.
He stepped onto the battlefield and moved towards those energy bodies.
In that short while, the few dozen humans were down to five. They relied on the walls to hold on and were in a bad state.
They were evolved with energy attacks, which is why they could survive. But they used up all their mental energy, or their skills were on cooldown, so they could only use some of their equipment to defend. But they knew that they would get eaten in the next second.
They had a look of despair.
Until a guy noticed that their attacks were weakening.
“What is going on?” The five of them looked towards Ye Zhongming as all the energy bodies were surging over.
A few of them looked at the human who was originally in a daze walking over. He waved his hands and easily blocked the energy bodies’ attacks. They could only see the shining hands and that person’s body that was about to burn up. The energy bodies that wrapped behind him and wanted to attack would go up in flames the moment they touched his body and then turn into gas.
This… Who was he?
They naturally wouldn’t understand Ye Zhongming’s current state. He felt like he was climaxing after doing that stuff with the opposite gender. The energy entered his body and was absorbed by the Scorching Flame technique, quickly improving its level.
When he absorbed all the energy bodies here, he grabbed an evolved and asked, “Where else are there such lifeforms?”
