Chapter 962: Slime Legion
Dingding......!
A golden energy sword extended out of the palm of the system host's hand, and in a shock sound that was almost like a collision of steel, the blade extended for hundreds of meters and crossed a graceful arc, and with just one slash, it slashed out seven or eight gray crystal slimes that were trying to get close to it, and several of them were almost cut in two by its sword light.
But when the system body looked at this scene, it didn't have the slightest intention of relaxing, because those gray crystal slimes who seemed to have been seriously injured by the sword light only retreated a little, and then they would repair their broken bodies on their own in just three or five seconds, and then approach it again.
This situation has happened more than once, and the system host is completely determined at this moment, even if it has attached the conceptual magic power that can cause curse-like effects to the sword light of its attack, it is of little use to these gray crystal slimes. Because it found that this group of slimes could react very quickly, and decisively discarded this part of their bodies before the cursed power in the part of the attack could erode their bodies.
And even if these gray crystal slimes discard more body parts, as long as they still retain a part of their bodies, even if it is only a fragment the size of a fingernail, then they can quickly regenerate their bodies based on this fragment of debris!
Moreover, the speed at which they regenerate is also extremely terrifying, even if there is only a part of the body the size of an ordinary person's thumb, it can regenerate back to the average size of a lion tiger in their heyday in just five seconds.
The system hosts really can't understand how this group of strange creatures like slimes can have such foul vitality.
Even, even if the system host did its best and concentrated its efforts to try to completely crush the few slimes first, and it took a lot of effort to destroy them to the point that there was no scum left, but this still seemed to be in vain, because the system host soon discovered that even if it worked hard to extinguish for a long time, the number of those slimes around it did not decrease at all, but increased at all!
The slimes that originally besieged and intercepted it were only twenty or thirty at the beginning. But after only half a minute has passed, the number of the other party has skyrocketed to nearly 100, and even they continue to increase their number to this day!
This makes even the system hosts of mechanical minds feel like they have a headache for them.
And that's not the most disgusting thing, after fighting these slimes a few times, the system hosts no longer dare to let them approach them at will.
Because......
As soon as he swung out that lightsaber and forced the approaching slime back, before the system could breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed a fluctuation in the space around him. The traces of this fluctuation are very slight, and if it weren't for the fact that as a system, it has supernormal perception ability, and if it were someone else, I am afraid it would not have been able to detect it.
The system host that felt this spatial fluctuation immediately radiated a circle of golden light waves visible to the naked eye all over its body, and burst out with a burst of energy that impacted the surrounding space like a tide, causing the space within ten meters around it to begin to ripple like a wave.
In this way, the stability of the small space near its position was immediately disturbed by the impact of this shock.
Naturally, it was not useless for the system host to do this, because the eight slimes happened to use the ability of spatial jumping from all directions at this time to try to directly attack its side, but because the moment when the jump was about to be completed, the subtle fluctuations caused by the spatial changes were still captured by the system host and aroused its vigilance, thus being disturbed.
Abilities such as space jumping and space teleportation are quite demanding for the use environment. This is like a ship sailing on the sea, if the sea is not calm enough, the difficulty of navigation will naturally increase, and even in severe cases, there will be a risk of shipwreck. This environmental disturbance only gets worse when it translates to space hopping.
The eight slimes that jumped through space were disturbed by the system host, and the space they were in immediately shattered and fell into a state of chaos and rage as if they had been forcibly squeezed by an external force, not only was the jumping process forcibly interrupted, but even their own bodies were unfortunately torn apart by the spatial turbulence that rolled up after the shattering.
Even if a few of the slimes were lucky enough to stabilize their bodies in time and not be swept into those cracks that they didn't know where to go by the violent spatial turbulence, they were often seriously injured under the violent tearing of those spatial turbulence.
In just an instant, all eight slimes that launched the raid were defeated!
But even with the help of the power of spatial turbulence to achieve this kind of result, the system host was still not happy about it at all, because this time the slimes that relied on the ability of the space system to try to raid it were not only eight, but a full twelve!
The remaining four slimes had the foresight to use the other eight companions as pioneer bait, and only launched a surprise attack on the system host, and jumped out on relatively stable spatial coordinates before they approached the range of ten meters of the system host.
Then the four slimes did not hesitate to attack the system host, which was only ten meters away from them.
However, at this time, the system host body happened to be still in a state of stiffness and recovery because of the previous wave of forcible burst power that disturbed the space, and the already somewhat deficient power in its body became a little agitated, which made it forced to fall into a state of stiffness and recovery.
Although this state of rigidity can be forcibly overcome and ended prematurely for the system host, it still makes its actions reveal momentary flaws.
And the four slimes that came by surprise also seized this opportunity very accurately and decisively, as if they had expected it, and as soon as they jumped out of the passage of different space, they immediately accelerated to the side of the system host with all their might.
Even though the Systemic Hosts managed to overcome their stiffness with all their might, finally regaining some mobility before they could fully touch itself, it knew it was too late.
Because, the four slimes had already firmly touched the protective energy that they maintained around their bodies, and each opened their mouths to it with a strange scene of a deep vortex inside.
Sure enough, the next system host unsurprisingly found that the protective energy on the surface of his body was directly absorbed by these slimes with some kind of weird devouring ability generated from his mouth, and the entire layer of protective body energy could no longer be maintained and dissipated in an instant, and even that devouring power also acted on the body of the system host himself who was close at hand, even if it didn't bite it directly, it still forcibly sucked the power in its body like a flood into the open mouths of the four slimes.
Damn it!
The system body didn't even dare to delay for 0.1 seconds, and hurriedly forcibly suppressed the power in his body that was constantly leaking out, and waved his right arm hard, and a golden sword light burst out from his palm and swung fiercely around his body, slashing the four hateful slimes who were still planning to continue to 'suck blood' on his body.
Then, it didn't care about calming down the power in its body first, and without hesitation, it immediately forcibly raised its strength again and dodged away from the spot at full speed.
Sure enough, in the next moment, more slimes appeared directly near the location it was originally in through spatial jumps one after another, and many of them had even opened their mouths in advance of the strange vortex inside, ready to devour.
Finding that the prey had actually left the place, the body of this group of slimes looked like the core, but in fact the organs of the eyes turned their pupils to look at the distant figure of the system host that was fleeing in confusion under the crazy pursuit of other slimes, and they all showed regret.
In the process of frantically escaping, he took the time to look at the large group of slimes behind him, and the system host couldn't help but have some heart palpitations.
Just now, in just a blink of an eye, it was swallowed up by half of the already empty power in the body by the four slimes, and if it was caught by at that glance, there would be at least a dozen slimes all caught and devoured, and the system felt that it was really going to be sucked dry by this group of ghosts.
Now I understand why the strength of the system host has been a little short before, right? Because when he didn't know about the devouring ability of this group of slimes before, he was carelessly approached by this group of slimes and swallowed it fiercely.
Even if the system hosts no longer have direct contact with each other, and have arranged measures such as protective enchantments on the surface of the body in advance, it is just an extra layer of skin that can also be eaten for this group of slimes. As long as they are close to this group of slimes, even if it is the energy of the shield, they can still directly devour it.
What's even more helpless is that even if you use a long-range attack, even if it is sword qi or something like that, as long as the attack strength is not high to a certain level, not only will it not be able to break the defense of this group of slimes' Chaos Crystals, but it will even be equivalent to sending energy nutrients to them for free!
And even if a high-intensity attack is used, the energy contained in the attack will be more or less immediately devoured when it touches these slimes, so that the power of the attack will inevitably decrease.
In a void about tens of thousands of meters away from the system host, Jiang Yan was standing in place and quietly looking at the system hostel in the center of the battlefield in front of him, which seemed to be very embarrassed by more than a hundred Xiaobai clone slimes, and bursts of silver data streams continued to appear in his eyes, silently scanning and analyzing it.
The system host has long noticed the existence of Jiang Yan in the distance, and through the memory information collected from the host, even if it does not know Jiang Yan's specific identity, it also knows that Jiang Yan, who must come from the dream country, should also have the ability to be regarded as a well-known dream country, that is, it can scan and analyze others, so as to copy and steal the power of others.
Therefore, the system also understands that if Jiang Yan is allowed to peep at him like this, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to it.
But because of the slimes around it, it couldn't spare any effort to stop Jiang Yan's snooping behavior.
Even the original way of invoking the divine power of the god of wealth stored in the system to resist the other party's analysis is no longer very effective. On the one hand, it was because the group of slimes around him could even devour the divine energy that had reached the level of a True God Realm powerhouse, and on the other hand, it was because Jiang Yan had already analyzed the divine powers and divine techniques it had used before to obtain some data, so that it could be cracked a little.
"Juggernaut, can I just keep holding it back?"
On the shoulder of Jiang Yan's crystal coat, Xiao Bai suddenly poked out his little head and asked Jiang Yan with some hesitation.
"That's fine, don't rush it. Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The trick that this guy used just now to trade the divine power, although it seems to have a lot of side effects, but to be honest, the power should not be underestimated. If we approach it rashly and force it to jump off the wall again, we may have to suffer. ”
"Side effects?" Xiaobai asked with some curiosity.
"Didn't you notice?" Jiang Yan smiled slightly: "Originally, with its current cultivation, even if its arm is broken, it won't be too difficult to repair it again, right?" But so far, that guy's lost left arm has not shown the slightest sign of recovery. Not only has it not been recovered, but even according to the information I got from my scanning, its left arm may not be able to be recovered in the future!"
"Shhh...... So serious?!"
Hearing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but be slightly surprised. For a person who can regenerate itself at will, repair and even create clones, it is really hard to imagine that it will permanently lose a part of its body and will be completely cut off from the possibility of repair.
"After all, it's the kind of oversized attack, and it's just the price of permanently losing an arm, which is actually very light. Jiang Yan was not so surprised by this result. "But that's good news for us, otherwise we'd be in trouble if we could use this kind of super-sized attack casually. ”
"But if you continue to do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this guy for a while. Xiaobai tilted his head and said: "I don't know if it's my delusion, how does the power in this guy's body feel endless, obviously he has been devoured by my clones several times and his strength is about to run out, but he will soon recover again." It felt like ......"
Xiao Bai pondered for a moment before saying, "It's like how to replenish the power that I have lost." ”
"You guessed it right. Jiang Yan nodded slightly, and said, "According to the information I got when I scanned and analyzed, this guy who is temporarily called a system seems to have some additional energy reserves in his own body, so when his strength is too depleted, he can always get replenishment from the stored energy bank as soon as possible." ”
"Do you just wait until its system inventory is exhausted?" Xiaobai asked.
Jiang Yan sneered slightly: "Of course not, after all, it won't be so stupid as to be dragged into the predicament of running out of oil and running out of lights." ”
Sure enough, as if Jiang Yan's words had been fulfilled, the system body in the distance, which was being frantically besieged by more than a hundred slimes, suddenly began to rise, accompanied by a mysterious and lofty aura of law concepts spreading.
Feeling this change, Jiang Yan and Xiaobai's faces couldn't help but change slightly.
Sure enough, then they saw that behind the system body, the phantom of the balance that seemed to symbolize the trading of divine power and exuded a mysterious golden brilliance once again appeared!
