With the goal already clear, Chen Xing summoned the White Wolf King, rode on the wolf's back, and accelerated towards the fortress.
The goblins holding the torch were dismissed and replaced by the Batrider to clear the way ahead. Although doing this will consume spiritual energy, soldiers are valuable and fast, and the nights are long and the dreams are many. The sooner you get things, the better.
But then again, maintaining a small number of Yulings active outside consumes very little spiritual energy. Because it is being replenished at the same time as it is consumed, as long as the consumption rate does not exceed the replenishment rate by too much.
Depending on how it is used, the spiritual energy in the evolver's body can be divided into two streams.
One is the spiritual energy in the spiritual pool. This part of the spiritual energy is fully absorbed by the body and reorganized according to the life mark of the body, and can be used by the evolved spiritual energy.
The other part is the psychic particles accumulated throughout the body that have not yet been "personalized".
Perhaps it was because it was too late, or perhaps the spiritual pool was overflowing and could not be saved, so it was trapped in the body.
Therefore, this part of spiritual energy is also called "residing spiritual energy".
For example, when an evolved person drinks a psychic potion or injects it directly into the blood, this part of the psychic energy will enter the body.
But at this time, although the spiritual energy is in the body, it cannot be used by the evolved person. Just like the food eaten in the stomach, it needs a series of digestion processes to become the energy to support the body's operation.
This is the same for other energy. Fuel needs to be processed by the engine and a series of transmission systems to become the power to drive the vehicle.
Afterwards, these psychic particles will be gradually absorbed by the cells, completing the construction of the imprint of life in the cell nucleus and becoming "star sand".
The imprint of life is like the product design drawings, the psychic particles are like the raw materials for manufacturing products, and the star sand is like the products produced in the assembly line factory of the cell nucleus.
Several psychic particles constitute star sand, and several star sand constitute a spiritual pool.
In a sense, the spiritual pool is equivalent to the spiritual body.
According to the different directions of the design drawings, Xingsha is divided into four major systems: ocean system, volcano system, forest system, and starry sky system.
The ocean system's star sand is larger in size and contains more energy, which is reflected at the level of the spiritual pool by doubling the amount.
The density of the star sand in the volcanic system is higher, which is reflected at the level of the spiritual pool and is twice as powerful. The composition of the forest-type star sand is more refined, which is reflected at the level of the spiritual pool and is easy to manipulate. The star sand structure of the starry sky system is more balanced and reasonable, which is reflected in the overall improvement at the level of the spirit pool.
However, as the degree of evolution increases, the efficiency of the evolver in absorbing external energy becomes higher and higher. However, the processing efficiency of the body and the limited space of the spiritual pool can no longer keep up with the absorption efficiency. At this time, a large amount of energy will accumulate in the body. Psionics.
If this part of spiritual energy cannot be processed in time, it will damage the body. However, normal evolvers will not have this problem because they can freely control the body's absorption. When there is too much spiritual energy trapped in the body, they will close the external channels and stop absorbing.
Chen Xing's situation is quite special. His channel is a fake device and he cannot control whether it is opened or closed, so he must balance absorption and consumption.
But at the same time, there is also an advantage, that is, you don’t have to worry about control, you can just count the money with your eyes closed.
Most of the things that maintain the existence of Yuling are stranded spiritual energy.
In the field, they can directly absorb the stagnant spiritual energy and use it for themselves, because they have independent and complete life marks and can transform star sand on their own. Only when they leave their domain and are active in the outside world, they will consume a small amount of the host's spiritual energy.
This part of spiritual energy is mainly used to build and maintain the space channel between the Yuling and the personal realm, so that the Yuling can have an entity in this world.
The evolver plays the role of a bridge between the external energy, the evolver and the Yuling.
This is why evolvers can summon and drive Yulings that are several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times stronger than themselves.
The White Wolf King ran at full speed as fast as a civilian car, and it took more than ten minutes to cover the distance of more than 20 kilometers.
The fortress between the two mountains is very conspicuous, especially when the other party shines a searchlight into the sky, and it can be seen from a distance in the darkness.
In order not to alert others, Chen Xing dismissed all the imperial spirits and used low-light flashlights to quietly explore the perimeter of the fortress.
Chen Xing observed for a while, there were at least hundreds of mercenaries guarding here.
After roughly jotting down the locations of sentries and patrols, Chen Xing activated short-distance teleportation and walked through the wall.
As soon as the electric current formed his body, Chen Xing saw two patrols with their backs to him and immediately hid in a dark corner next to them.
"who!"
The patrolman heard the noise and immediately turned around, only to find that the place was empty.
"Hey, did you hear anything just now?"
"What's the sound? Are you hallucinating it?"
"No, I'm very
Sure, I heard the sound. "
The two patrolmen pulled the safety catch and looked around cautiously.
When the two of them approached the corner where Chen Xing was, a cold light suddenly pierced out.
"puff!"
Blood spurted out, and the blade pierced through the throat. The patrolman who was attacked stared wide-eyed and could not make any sound.
The second patrolman noticed something strange, and when he turned around, he was greeted by another knife.
Blood spurted out. Chen Xing was seen holding a knife in each hand and accurately pierced the throats of the two men.
Then the long knife turned into flying star sand, and the body that lost its support fell softly.
After neatly dealing with the two patrols, Chen Xing teleported again and penetrated the fortress.
Inside the outer wall is a long passage with lights on the top, which is very bright.
The sound of footsteps was heard from far away in the passage. Chen Xing started teleportation and continued to pass through the wall.
"bump!"
The electric current condensed and formed on the wall. Chen Xing hit his head on the wall and fell down.
"Um?"
Chen Xing was stunned. The teleportation unexpectedly failed. This was something he had never encountered before. He subconsciously teleported again, and then bumped his head against the wall with stars in his eyes.
"this……"
Chen Xing was horrified. Could it be that something had gone wrong? The escape technique he relied on most had failed.
Before he had time to think, the sound of footsteps gradually approached. He turned his head and teleported towards the wall behind him.
"Zi la!"
In a flash of lightning, he arrived outside the fortress.
Teleportation has not failed!
That means the problem isn't him, it's the wall.
After a while, Chen Xing entered the passage again. This time he stripped off the clothes of the corpse outside and put them on himself, pretending to be the other party's patrol.
After walking along the passage for a while, three patrols came towards me. The one in the middle had an extra bar and a silver star on his epaulette. Rank of second lieutenant. Mercenaries also follow this military rank system. The second lieutenant is usually the squad leader, the most junior officer.
The mercenary officer clasped his hands behind his back and saw Chen Xing in disguise. He looked puzzled and asked, "Which detachment are you from? Why are you here?"
"Team 3, please give me a quick explanation." Chen Xing lowered his head and answered vaguely. Of course he didn't know which detachment it was, so he just said it casually.
"Don't desert and go back quickly!" the mercenary officer taught him a lesson.
"Oh." Chen Xing nodded and quickly passed over the three of them.
In a blink of an eye, he reached the end of the passage and turned into a small door.
A grand hall suddenly opened up ahead. It is rectangular in shape and measures tens of thousands of square meters in size. Looking up, the dome is more than thirty meters high. It is comparable to the previous temples, but the top is not as high.
In the middle of one side of the hall, there is a golden door. The door frame is inlaid with seven-color gemstones, which is radiant, mysterious and luxurious.
This girl's comic-like design is the same as the golden key in his hand. They are both made of colorful gems and gold, and it is easy to connect them together. From an architectural perspective, the space behind this door is exactly where he cannot penetrate the wall.
In all likelihood, this is the "Treasure House of God's Kingdom" in Captain Baishui's information.
Looking away from the golden door, Chen Xing's attention quickly shifted to a corner of the hall.
There stood a mechanical puppet more than ten meters high. A middle-aged nobleman was lying on the puppet's arm, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be asleep.
Needless to say, that tall mechanical puppet is Yu Ling. Because he had never heard of any company that produced such a big mecha. And the outer shell will not be made of brass, nor will it be wrapped in bandages like a mummy.
Chen Xing moved his steps and approached slowly, while using a black watch to check.

…
It doesn't seem like a small role. The titles from lowest to highest are baron, viscount, earl, marquis and duke.
On the surface, a viscount is only one level higher than a baron, but having the word "strength" in front of the title means that the other person is at least a quasi-lord. The title of "Master of Green Castle" means that the other party owns the place of Green Castle.
Looking down, the other party is a Quince.
Quins is a country in the Western Continent. Its size is similar to that of Noyes. They are both medium-sized countries. Quins is also the birthplace of Critical Club and its headquarters is over there.
If Chen Xing guessed correctly, the task of this powerful viscount is to guard the golden gate and prevent outsiders from approaching.
If you want to enter the treasure house, you must obtain the other party's consent. Obviously, this is impossible.
Judging from the style of the Iron Fist mercenary group, the Count Iron Fist who initiated this exploration will not be a good person. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and he can condone his subordinates to commit murder and swindle goods, it means that his own moral standards are not very high.
If it were someone with a little bit of bottom line, the worst he could do would be to spend money to buy it. I believe that as an earl, it would not be difficult for him to satisfy the needs of a low-level mercenary leader. Why bother to kill everyone? Not only that, he also tortured his sister and killed her Ling Chi.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and for such a cruel and ruthless person, the friends around him are no better.
This Randy Walton is definitely not a good person.
Chen Xing quickly convinced himself, quietly took out the future version of SCAR, opened the scope, locked the head leaning on the mechanical arm, and slowly infused spiritual energy.
Everyone has a hypocritical side, and he is no exception. He needs to find a reasonable explanation for his sneak attack. No matter in which world or plane, killing an opponent in his sleep is not a glorious thing.
However, the powerful Viscount is not that easy to deal with. When more and more psychic energy is poured into the bullet, the resulting psychic energy fluctuations become stronger and stronger. Even if you don't have the ability to sense danger, you will still sense abnormalities in the psychic energy fluctuations.
The second before Chen Xing pulled the trigger, Viscount Qiang opened his eyes, subconsciously looked at the source of the abnormal psychic fluctuations, and then saw the black muzzle of the gun.
The next moment, blue flames spurted out from the muzzle, and an armor-piercing bullet with more than three times the psychic energy compressed came out of the barrel. The moment it left the muzzle, the high-speed rotating warhead rubbed the air, and the temperature soared rapidly, turning the entire body orange-red.
At the same time, the powerful recoil pushed the shooter backward, and the black rubber on the bottom of the military boots drew two marks on the ground.
The distance of tens of meters was approaching in an instant, and before the expression on Viscount Strength's face could turn into surprise, the high-speed rotating bullet was already approaching his forehead.
If you slow down the time to a ten thousandth of a second, you will see that the bullet is flying closer inch by inch. The surrounding air is constantly distorted and deformed by the bullet, leaving a long trajectory.
However, just as the tip of the bullet was close to the forehead, countless blue star sand flew out of the pores and released rays to the surroundings.
The azure rays intersect with each other, forming a dense spatial grid that continues to push outward.
The high-temperature rotating warhead touched the grid, and countless rays were twisted and broken, turning into countless smaller psychic particles. However, the kinetic energy of the bullet was also consumed, and the speed dropped significantly.
Finally, the bullet broke through the layers of mesh and hit the skin of the forehead.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by the dull gunshot, the Viscount of Strength threw his head back, and a blood arrow shot out from his forehead. The back of his head hit the copper shell covered with bandages, denting it directly.
One blow was successful, but Chen Xing, who was several dozen meters away, did not stop at all. He quickly gathered his psychic energy and prepared for a second psychic shot.
As he expected, one bullet could not kill a powerful viscount. The opponent quickly recovered from the frustration of the attack and pointed at him before the second attack came.
"Dogarmaso!"
The Viscount of Strength turned over and landed on the ground, the mechanical puppet took a big step, the steam engine behind it started at full strength, and raised its fist to hit the sneak attacker.
Chen Xing's second psychic armor-piercing bullet was ready, but the Viscount of Strength was blocked behind the mechanical puppet. He immediately raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the iron can-like head of the mechanical spirit master.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit the side of the mechanical Yuling's head. The copper skin cracked and large pieces of gears flew out.
But the mechanical spirit was not affected at all. It smashed the floor and smashed with a huge fist.
"Crack!"
The mechanical fist hit the ground and cracked like a spider web, but there was nothing there.
The tiny electric current condensed into a human shape and appeared ten meters away.
The first round of the battle is over. The two sides' eyes collided, but neither of them had the intention to speak.
It's clear that it's a life-and-death fight. There's no need to talk nonsense, just fight.
