"Don't leave the shield and act alone. Elizabeth doesn't look right..."
After being reminded by Wu Ming, Zhao Sida discovered that Elizabeth was surprisingly quiet after being attacked.
There was no fuss as usual, nor was there any unsatisfactory yelling because of the pain. Not even the slightest painful emotion was conveyed through the spiritual link!
Only when she saw that Wu Ming called Elizabeth several times but received no effective response, his pupils were blank and unfocused, and his mental link remained silent, did the doll girl realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Detecting the life characteristics of extraordinary creatures..." Zhao Sida reached out and pinched Elizabeth's white and slender neck. She quickly turned her index finger to form a trumpet-shaped instrument and began to conduct a quick and detailed physical examination of the latter.
Soon, the test results came back. But the information she got made Zhao Sida's face look a little ugly, "Elizabeth's organs are all functioning normally. Although the extraordinary energy in the body is in an activated state, no external extraordinary energy has been found to be entrenched in the body to cause damage. And..."
Wu Ming glanced at Zhao Sida, who was hesitant, with some confusion: "And?"
"Furthermore, Elizabeth's brain activity signals are scattered noise. In addition to the most basic neural reflexes, she has completely lost the ability to perform a variety of subjective activities including intelligence, thought, emotion, will, and even self-cognition. ." Zhao Sida retracted the change monitoring equipment in her right hand and restored the shape of her fingers. She said with some uncertainty, "I can't tell whether this is the impact of the mental storm, or whether Elizabeth has become... a plant state. .Manager, this situation is very unreasonable..."
Wu Ming frowned when he heard this. Judging from his personal experience of experiencing the mental storm just now, he was only stunned for two or three seconds as a dabbler who had just stepped into the extraordinary realm. Logically speaking, that mental storm should not have such an impact on Elizabeth. Strong effect, this situation is indeed as unreasonable as Zhao Sida said.
The storm outside became more and more violent, with fist-sized stones and lightning hitting Wu Ming's open shield one after another, emitting crackling fire. As the storm intensified, the surrounding environment faded into a black and white world as it became further alienated. Becoming more and more weird and unpredictable.
The world that lost its color began to produce spider-like cracks in brittle materials like mirrors or glass. Using these cracks as dividing lines, it was divided into many fragments of different sizes. Each fragment reflected strange things that did not belong to the scenery here. In the picture, some fragments reflect the bustling crowds on the street, some fragments show the wide and tall prehistoric vegetation and insect creatures, and some fragments reflect the landscape of lava hell everywhere.
Coupled with the strange mental shock he had received before, Wu Ming, who was already full of vigilance, had long ago turned off other useless functions and modules of the auxiliary device, and put all the energy quota on maintaining the shield.
Facts have proved that his choice was very wise.
“Ouch——!!!”
Another shrill and soul-stirring scream sounded, and the spiritual shock wave that had solidified and almost materialized struck from a distance and hit Wu Ming's deployed shield!
What was originally supposed to be a transparent and invisible shield barrier, in the battle with the mental impact, hexagonal shield patterns with layers of honeycomb structures quietly emerged.
The battle between the mental shock and the shield only lasted for a moment. The shield consumption in Wu Ming's eyes suddenly surged to an extremely high peak, and then quickly fell back to the normal consumption range. In the end, there was still no mental shock. Break the shield's defense.
Wu Ming was also relieved.
"Old Zhao and Elizabeth follow me closely, and we rush out to support Brother Fei..."
Outside the storm, Siegfried was also engaged in a bitter battle.
The nature of Party A's happy ball with incredible light and color in front of him was very strange. In just a few rounds of fighting, Siegfried tried several different attack methods, including but not limited to not using any extraordinary power and only using pure Fight with physical strength, enchant the black iron sword with blazing white flames, directly use the dragon's roar to strike it in a wide area, launch an attack when the liquid sphere steals your life and physical strength, etc...
However, none of the attacks worked.
Every failed attack means that her limbs will be in direct contact with the colorful liquid spheres. Every time she feels that slippery and disgusting touch, Siegfried will clearly feel that a small amount of life force and a large amount of physical strength have been taken away from her body. , coupled with the fact that the other party took the opportunity to drain away her vitality and physical strength when she fell into a brief dizziness due to the mental shock she had just released for the second time, she could already clearly feel the decline in her physical fitness.
For more than ten years... no, to be precise, she has never felt this way since Siegfried killed her relatives and friends and her body stopped growing after inheriting the power of the black dragon. With the Life Tree constantly supplying vitality and physical strength to lower-level nodes, she can always maintain the ideal state of peak physical function to fight.
But things are different now... Siegfried feels old.
The hand holding the sword has shriveled up from being touched many times and has produced many fine wrinkles. The short hair on her forehead and ears is even mixed with several strands of white hair. The black dragon girl, who has lost most of her physical strength, has to rely on her mouth. Panting to get more oxygen, her heart was beating violently, and her original advantages were being worn away little by little. She didn't know whether it was due to excessive physical exertion or because her body was aging faster than Siegfried expected. For the first time in so many years, she felt The body seems to become a little heavy.
"This kind of reduction and weakening of the essence of life..." Siegfried twisted to avoid the collision of Party A's happy ball. She no longer dared to contact the opponent rashly, because according to the Black Dragon girl's rough estimate of her physical fitness, If I come into contact with the opponent two or three more times, the aging of the physical body is likely to cross a certain critical point and enter a cliff-like state of rapid aging. By then, let alone defeat this guy, I will even be able to break free from its life-sucking It's all a problem.
"You can't hit it, and you can't touch it...you are more difficult to deal with than I thought...the tree of life..."
Although no effective attack method has been found at a high cost, Siegfried can feel that the indescribable connection between herself and the tree of life is strengthening every time she loses physical strength and life. This may be because her life flows into life. The relationship between becoming a member of the tree, at least through this gradually clear connection, she understood the essence of the thing in front of her.
"Brother Fei! Are you okay! We are here to support you!" Wu Ming, Zhao Sida and Elizabeth, who had lost her subjective consciousness, rushed out of the storm with shields, but the three of them had not taken a few steps after rushing out of the storm. , Siegfried sprayed out a ball of dragon flame to block their way.
"Leave this to me! This liquid sphere is a phenomenon... that cannot be solved by normal means! I'll hold it back, and you can quickly get rid of the Fruit of Life!"
