Volume 1 Prelude to Chaos Chapter 10 The Pupil of Shadows
With the pull of the trigger, the blasting steel ball roared out of the chamber of the gun, and accurately hit the wall in the shadows, and the huge kinetic energy knocked the concrete out of a deep pit, and the steel ball was embedded in its entirety.
There was a loud bang, and the burst of energy suddenly erupted, blasting a huge hole in the wall, through which the next door could already be seen, but the houses next to the White Night were all empty, uninhabited, and could not affect others.
The lava energy contained in the steel orb is the nemesis of the Shadow Ghost, and it is also capable of damaging the Evolved Spirits that copy it. With an ethereal wail, the Spirit of Evolution began to scurry around the walls and ceiling, trying to find an unguardable moment for the White Night to attack, but the eyes of the White Night, with the power of time, had already locked it, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The roar was endless, each shot was accurately hit on the body of the spirit of evolution, under the eruption of bursting energy, the rental house was hit everywhere with holes, a mess, and the spirit of evolution was also under this wave of fierce attacks, wailing constantly, its powerful spiritual power even affected the entire building through the walls, every time it wailed, the building seemed to tremble.
With a soft "click", the magazine was finally empty, and Bai Ye threw the gun aside, took out a bottle containing a clear liquid, and poured a large mouthful. At the same time, the power of time contained in the eyes was activated, and the speed of the spirit of evolution that was locked by the gaze plummeted.
The spirit of evolution was given a respite and finally leaned out of the wall. The continuous explosion caused it to suffer a lot, and it also ignited its anger, it used its spiritual power to let out a scream in Bai Ye's consciousness, this was its spiritual attack, Bai Ye suddenly felt as if he had been licked by a cold snake letter, unspeakably uncomfortable, and the coordination of his body was also greatly affected.
The spirit of evolution finally found the best time to attack, it raised its pair of claws composed of red shadows, and pounced on Bai Ye, and the corner of Bai Ye's mouth flashed a sneer, and a lighter suddenly appeared in his hand, put it in front of his lips and lit fire, aiming at the spirit of evolution and squirting out the liquid in his mouth, and a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the air!
It's a little trick, but it's not easy, the bottle is White Night's homemade fuel, which is more flammable than gasoline and alcohol. That flame blew out of the mouth of the White Night, covering the spirit of evolution head-on!
Both the undead and the shadow creatures are restrained by the fire elemental, and the shadow ghost is a combination of the undead and the shadow, and the flame is its natural enemy! The Evolved Spirit was truly battered by the flames, and it continued to wail and roll wildly in the air with a full body of flames, the sound of which was like dozens of ghosts crying in unison.
However, this level of flame is not enough to kill it, the strength of the monster beyond the first order is fundamentally different from the one below the first order, the tenacity of the vitality is far beyond imagination, it suddenly let out a sharp howl, the red shadow body swelled violently, the burning flames on the body were dispersed, and rushed towards the white night with lightning speed, and then turned into several red shadows, through the ears, nose, and mouth, into his body!
This is the Shadow Ghost's natural ability, it can possess the body of the prey, tearing the prey from the inside little by little, which can not only bring physical pain, but also mentally destroy the will of the prey, and in this state, unless the possessed person harms himself, he cannot hurt the Shadow Ghost at all.
But Bai Ye didn't panic at all, instead he smiled and said to himself, "Welcome to the Elemental Array!" ”
At his feet was a piece of ground leather, which the White Night lifted open, revealing the concrete floor below, on which was painted with blood a pattern of a six-pointed star, the six corners of which were connected by several special symbols. And Bai Ye was standing in the center of the six-pointed star, and at the tips of the six corners, there were semicircular dents, five of which were placed a steel ball bullet flowing with a lava luster!
Drawing an elemental array is a complex knowledge that Bai Ye paid a great price to learn in his previous life, and with Bai Ye's current ability, he can only draw this simplest hexagram array, but it is more than enough to deal with the spirit of evolution!
Bai Ye took out another steel ball from his arms, flicked his fingers, and threw the steel ball on the last corner accurately, the surface of the six steel balls immediately appeared with lava-like stripes, and six lava-like energy flowed out of the steel balls, filling the entire array along those mysterious runes, and then, the six-pointed star array bloomed with a dazzling red light, enveloping Bai Ye's whole body.
The bursting steel ball absorbs the pith of the lava life tree, and the pith is the essence condensed by the lava life tree after absorbing the lava energy. Standing in the middle of the array, Bai Ye's whole body seemed to be soaked in hot lava, and in an instant, the skin of his whole body was like a boiled crab, swollen red, and some parts had obvious burns.
But Bai Ye has devoured the Explosive Fruit, which is the same source as the lava power that drives the magic circle, so he is extremely resistant to this power, don't look at the skin burns, but it is only a skin injury, as long as Bai Ye can endure the pain, it will not affect the combat ability at all. As soon as the circle was opened, it let out an extremely painful wail, like a person being thrown into an oil pot, bounced out of Bai Ye's body, and rushed out of the circle.
But although it can shuttle through the physical wall at will, it is helpless against the energy wall composed of red light, and can only run wildly within the scope of the magic circle, its shadow body is like an ice cube under the scorching sun, and it begins to melt little by little, which is the most cruel torture for the spirit of evolution!
The energy contained in the burst steel ball was not much, it only lasted less than two minutes, and the energy was exhausted, all six steel balls exploded, and the red light of the magic circle gradually dissipated. However, the Spirit of Evolution had long since disappeared by this time, and it only lasted for a minute before it disappeared, leaving behind only a red mist of Evolution Seed as proof that it had existed in the world.
Bai Ye was also not lightly injured, after all, the pain of burns all over his body was not so easy to bear, but his mood was extremely comfortable. Twenty years of post-apocalyptic survival experience allowed him to defeat the spirit of evolution whose strength far surpassed his own, which was a huge encouragement to Bai Ye and gave him a little hope for the future again. It's just a little bit, the danger of the last days is by no means erased by twenty years of survival experience!
Bai Ye picked up the seed of evolution, swallowed it in one gulp, and then closed his eyes and felt the various changes in his body with his heart. The Seed of Evolution can be said to be one of the most magical treasures in the universe, and it is an extremely rare opportunity to feel the process of evolution and the rules of the universe.
The evolution ended silently, and before Bai Ye opened his eyes, a crack suddenly opened in the middle of his forehead, where it is commonly known as the pineal gland, and instead of a drop of blood flowed out of the gap, a faint black light burst out!
The crack continued to widen, revealing a black glass-like crystal pupil, which was actually an erect eye! This eye is like a black crystal, incomparably deep, but it exudes the purest darkness, this is the talent that Bai Ye opened after becoming a first-order evolutionary - the pupil of shadows!
Even if you compare it within the scope of all human beings, the Shadow Pupil is also one of the top talents, this is the third eye of the white night, through it, the white night has a series of pupils such as ultra-long vision, dark vision, dynamic vision, etc., these abilities are already very powerful, but they are only the abilities attached to the Shadow Pupil, its core ability is to contain extremely pure dark energy, and it is emitted in the form of shadow rays or dark beams. Shadow rays are extremely penetrating and have the power of shadows to prevent wounds from healing. The Dark Beam, on the other hand, is highly corrosive, and is able to absorb a portion of the corroded flesh and energy to feed itself.
Through the pupil of shadows, Bai Ye once again felt the power of darkness that he had not seen for a long time, and the Seed of Evolution recovered all the injuries on his body, and his condition was better than ever. Now, it's time to clean up the shadow ghost trapped in the mirror world.
The reason why Hakuya chose to trap the Shadow Ghost instead of fighting it was because he didn't want to face the Shadow Ghost and the Evolved Spirit at the same time, and there was a more important reason, which was to get the Shadow Essence from the Shadow Ghost!
Shadow Essence is an incomparably precious treasure, shadow creatures are born with spatial attributes, able to travel between entities and planes at will, and some powerful shadow creatures will condense the shadow essence rich in spatial attributes after death, and inlay it on a container made of some special materials, which can make the container have spatial rules, thus becoming a space equipment.
Generally speaking, shadow creatures that can drop Shadow Essence are all above the fourth order. Even twenty years after the end of the world, there are only two human beings who can steadily defeat fourth-order creatures, that is, two fifth-order emperors, and none of them are above the fifth-order level. Therefore, in a short period of time, challenging shadow creatures above the fourth order is not at all in the options of the white night, but the shadow ghost is a very special creature, it is the only monster that is not strong, but it can also condense the essence of shadows.
Shadow ghosts are not pure shadow creatures, they are monsters that combine shadows and ghosts under some special conditions. Ghosts belong to the soul body, and the soul has a property, when the soul is subjected to extreme fright or torture, it is possible to produce the essence of fear or pain, although the process is very evil, but both essences are extremely precious treasures. The peculiarity of the shadow ghost is that when it is tortured to the extreme, endured extreme pain and dies, it is possible to drop the shadow essence, although its spatial ability is far from the shadow essence condensed by the real shadow creature, but it is indeed a real spatial treasure.
In his previous life, the few spatial equipment that Bai Ye had seen came from this way. And shadow ghosts are very rare, even in the "Shadow Graveyard" plane, this time they encountered one in the fault space, and of course White Night had to seize the opportunity. In the previous life, this shadow ghost once became the nightmare of the white night, and in this life, the shadow ghost is a shining treasure in the eyes of the white night!
