Chapter 40: A Blessing in Disguise

The sky had begun to light up, and the area outside the defense zone had finally become much quieter.

However, just as the people on the defensive line relaxed their vigilance a little, they saw a very shocking scene.

I saw a mutant snake more than 40 meters long swimming towards this side from a certain street outside the defense area, which frightened everyone and immediately began to wait for the battle.

But when I got a little closer, I realized that there were four figures around the big snake, and it was the four people who were all too familiar to everyone to guard the team.

"They killed the serpent, oh my!" Finally, someone reacted and exclaimed the truth.

Then there was a commotion on the wall, exclamations continued, and the news soon spread throughout the entire defense line.

The Ninth Master and Wei Dabao, who were dragging the snake corpse, felt that they were exhausted at this time, but because of their face, they held on, and their faces were like no one.

"Let's put it outside first, and I'll call someone to carry it away later."

Poplar Jinkou opened widely, and finally the two of Jiu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and their legs almost collapsed on the ground as soon as they became weak.

When a group of people passed through the defense line and entered the defense area, countless awe-inspiring eyes were cast around, which made Jiu Ye and Wei Dabao enjoy it very much, and they lived up to their hard work along the way.

Ten minutes later, the four of them returned to the command center and began to enter the process of absorbing crystals in unison.

Of course, before this, Poplar had clearly told them in detail about the method of absorbing the energy of the crystal.

In order not to interfere with each other, the four of them found a room each.

After a few hours, Bai Yang put his hand on the crystal again, thinking in his heart, if he could continue to improve in this way, then the cultivation speed of human beings could skyrocket geometrically, which would be of great help to the improvement of the overall strength of human civilization.

Moved the crystal to the abdomen, and then the poplar entered a meditative state, the black hole suction increased sharply, and the purple energy surged wildly, and finally merged into the space of the lower dantian.

In the process of absorption, Poplar was pleasantly surprised to find that the crystals of this big snake were not only far superior to the rat king in terms of volume, but also surpassed the latter in terms of energy purity.

According to the comparison of the volume ratio of the two sides and the purity of energy essence, Poplar estimated that this crystal the size of a human head could be worth 10-15 rat king crystals.

While marveling, Poplar also thought about a problem, that is, to reach this level of crystal, its difficulty in obtaining will be extremely high, even if he is himself, he is extremely embarrassed today, and if he is not careful, he will really be buried in the belly of the snake, not to mention other mutants.

If this goes on for a long time, the strength of the mutants will inevitably cause serious polarization, and the overall strength of human civilization has not improved much, which is definitely not a good thing for human beings.

"There's a long way to go." Poplar sighed, temporarily abandoning these distractions and concentrating on the process of refining and absorbing crystals.

The black hole rotates, the energy surges, and the lower dantian at this time is like a full-power engine, running at full capacity.

The black hole outside the dantian, which had expanded a circle when absorbing the rat king crystal before, made the speed of energy absorption go up a notch.

Half an hour, an hour ... It wasn't until two hours had passed that the purple crystals in Poplar's hands had been absorbed into his body.

Looking at the dantian space at this time, the purple sphere that was originally more than half a meter directly skyrocketed to about one meter, and the black hole outside the dantian did not know how many times it expanded because of the continuous impact of crystal energy, but it only took two hours this time to see the clues.

"Such a big increase?" Poplar was dumbfounded, especially the size of the black hole outside the dantian, it was simply expanding exponentially, which meant that Poplar's cultivation speed would increase exponentially in the future.

"That's what it has to be." Bai Yang was a little abrupt, he was too cautious before, and he had always been cultivating in a decent manner.

However, since the range of the outer black hole is so large, it is time to correspondingly expand the black hole inside the dantian.

However, just as Bai Yang was about to settle down and enter the Lower Dantian Space, he suddenly felt an invisible but very powerful force begin to wreak havoc in his mind, which made him dizzy for a while, and he almost fainted.

"What's that?" Poplar was shocked and stunned, startled by this cold play.

But no one responded to him, and he was still greeted by a powerful impact, this impact had nothing to do with the body, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the dantian, it was completely the movement in the depths of his consciousness.

And faintly, he felt that there were two forces, one large and one small, stirring wildly, attacking his consciousness repeatedly.

Poplar's eyes were shocked, not knowing what was happening, and when his consciousness was subjected to that kind of powerful impact again and again, the Tianyan inner vision function was turned on, checking the abnormal situation in his body.

The difference between the Tianyan internal vision and the meditation method is that the former is scanned and fed back in the form of waves, which is more refined and comprehensive.

I don't know how long it took, Poplar finally felt that outside his Heavenly Eye, there were two strange energies trying to erode the chaotic space of the Heavenly Eye, trying to expel or even devour his own consciousness and then take the Heavenly Eye as his own.

These two energies have a peculiar form, and they seem to be very similar to the Heavenly Eye Thoughts.

"Is this, what remains of the absorbing crystal?" Poplar observed for a moment, and suddenly understood, because he felt that these two energies obviously carried the residual consciousness of the big snake and the rat king, violent, ferocious, and a strong desire for revenge.

"I see, crystals are born in the brains of mutated creatures and are the main source of energy for their survival, so they are likely to parasitize the residual consciousness in the crystals when they die, and the essence of consciousness is some form of wave."

Thinking about the situation clearly, it didn't make Poplar's frowning brow relieved, because he didn't know how to deal with the situation at all.

At this moment, a strange scene appeared again, only to see that the snake's more powerful consciousness energy wave actually reversed its direction and rushed towards the consciousness of the rat king, and then there was no resistance, the former directly devoured the latter, or assimilated.

After assimilation, it is even more powerful.

Poplar's consciousness was shaken, and he quickly thought about the solution.

After a moment, his eyes lit up.

Since the consciousness of the big snake can devour and assimilate the consciousness of the rat king, can he also draw a gourd in the same way?

No more time to hesitate, Poplar did it as soon as he thought of it.

In the chaotic space inside the Heavenly Eye, the Clear Land began to tremble, and a thought wave originating from Poplar's own body quickly took shape, and then rushed towards the consciousness wave of the big snake outside the Heavenly Eye at an extremely fast speed.

When the two collided, Poplar's consciousness shook violently, and he almost lost control of his consciousness.

"It shouldn't be like this." Poplar thought, "Why is it that the consciousness of the Great Snake and the Rat King is so easy to assimilate, almost unhindered, and my consciousness is extremely repulsive to the Great Snake. ”

"Is it because my telekinetic energy is too small? That shouldn't be. Poplar meditated, and remembered the theory of waves he had learned.

"That's right, frequency!" Poplar suddenly realized, "Waves of the same frequency can be perfectly superimposed, and so will energy." ”

Poplar felt that his guess was very likely, so he immediately began to try.

After adjusting the vibration frequency of the chanting wave once, Poplar rushed towards the consciousness wave of the great snake again, and failed.

Adjust again, impact again, fail again......

It wasn't until after nearly ten attempts that Poplar finally figured out the frequency of the consciousness wave that the big snake deliberately changed, and Tianyan Nianbo saw the opportunity and pounced on it like a fierce angry dragon, assimilating the consciousness wave of the big snake without any hindrance, and the obsession of the big snake dissipated in an instant.

"It's done!" Poplar was pleasantly surprised, but he was also scared out of a cold sweat because of this.

If it weren't for his quick response, it is estimated that the consequences would have been incalculable.

Fortunately, Bai Yang redirected the two assimilated waveform energy back into the Heavenly Eye, but just as he was about to end this cultivation with a sigh of relief, he actually saw that waveform energy rushed uncontrollably into the white mist around the Clear Land.

Poplar's consciousness "boomed" and a loud tremble, and then a circle of white mist around the Clear Land disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, until finally the wave energy was exhausted, and the range of the Clear Land expanded again.

"This ......" Poplar was in disbelief and was a little speechless for a while.

"Is this a blessing in disguise?" After being silent for a long time, Poplar finally spit out these words.

He didn't expect that the consciousness wave that devoured and assimilated other mutated creatures still had such an effect, and it seemed that this foreign consciousness energy wave had the same effect as purple qi.

After thinking about it for a long time, Poplar didn't feel strange, this wave of consciousness energy of the big snake was originally derived from absorbing the energy of purple qi, and it came from the same origin as purple qi, so naturally it could also go the same way.

Bai Yang waited quietly for a few minutes, until he was sure that there were no other conditions, then he put his mind at ease and withdrew from the cultivation state, opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, calming down the ups and downs of his state of mind for several hours.

Poplar looked at the time, it was close to 8 o'clock in the morning, but he didn't plan to get up.

He still planned to take the opportunity to expand the black hole in the dantian first, who knows how much time he will have to calm down and cultivate later.

After making up his mind, Poplar re-entered meditation, and his consciousness escaped into the black hole inside the dantian, and began to polish and expand.

At this time, outside the door of the Poplar's cultivation room, the three members of the guardian team had already gathered and waited.

"Brother Bai, he won't go mad, right?" Jiuye's words are not shocking, and he is endless.

"Can you have a doorkeeper on your mouth?" Liu Yuting couldn't listen to it, but the worried look in her eyes was unobstructed.

When the three of them were absorbing the crystal energy just now, they encountered a similar situation to Poplar, but the rat king's consciousness was still too weak and did not have a substantial impact on them, but was suppressed by the three of them one after another.

But Poplar is different, the strength of the big snake can be called terrifying, and the relative consciousness will be incomparable, so I don't know if Poplar can survive this hurdle.
