"over there!"
Almost at the same time, the mercenaries who were always observing in all directions shouted the same words.
This time, not only Li Yi, but also the mercenary leader saw the problem.
Just when he wanted to give an order to remind everyone to be vigilant, the enemy was likely to come back.
He felt that something big seemed to be coming this time. Although he didn't know why there was no display on the night vision device, his threat perception still worked at the critical moment.
"Ah! No!"
As a scream rang out in the middle of the team, the mercenaries who had been calm suddenly panicked and desperately adjusted their night vision goggles, trying to see the scene in front of them clearly, but to no avail.
Originally it was just based on fear of the unknown, but the scene in front of them made everyone really feel the real terror.
I saw a person who was originally good, but under the constant twisting and struggling, the skin and flesh on his body kept dripping with blood, and he himself could only try desperately to stop it all but to no avail. He watched helplessly as his flesh and blood fell to the ground like mud and water, melted, and quickly disappeared.
It was as if there was an invisible thing that was constantly devouring the soldier's flesh and blood, but he himself could only watch in fear as he transformed from a living person into a skeleton.
This process sounds long, but it actually lasted less than five seconds. The soldier only had time to let out a cry for help and a scream before his chest was filled with tremendous terror and pain.
And as he could no longer scream, his body with only the skeleton left slumped to the ground, and the skeleton was scattered all over the ground.
During this process, the people around him were helpless. Even those who wanted to come forward to rescue him were immediately pulled back by others and Shengsheng who had woken up.
They didn't know if they would suffer the same fate if they came to rescue him.
And this is just the beginning of the tragedy.
Li Yi held the soul fire and watched all this with a frown.
Of course he saw the scene just now clearly.
Not only is it clear, but the "ghost" that cannot be illuminated by night vision devices is also invisible under the light of his soul fire.
In terms of time, he did have the ability to save the soldier.
But he didn't choose to do this.
the reason is simple.
Because Soul Fire was successfully upgraded to light blue, some new functions naturally appeared.
The Soul Fire, which was originally only in the purple stage, seems to have only one ability that cannot be actively used, and that is to automatically detect organisms within a fifty-meter radius that are hostile to the caster.
But this kind of "ghost" cannot be regarded as a living thing in the strict sense, and Li Yi doesn't know how to define such a creature.
He only knew that if it were replaced by the original purple soul fire, he would not be able to see its full picture.
Fortunately, it was upgraded.
In addition to the original detection ability, there is one more content.
That is the exploration of the combat effectiveness of this creature named spirit body.
Spirit is the name Li Yi gave to this unknown creature on his own, because he felt that if it were named after a ghost he knew, there would always be something wrong.
To be honest, if you can see the entity, these spiritual creatures are not actually very powerful creatures.
It's just that this kind of spiritual creature, which can only rely on its own sense of danger to make blind guesses, is not only faster than ordinary people, but also has an additional feature that cannot be detected even if it attacks.
This is a fatal flaw for humans who are accustomed to relying on vision to judge the opponent's movements.
It seems that since the emergence of this kind of spiritual creature, it has been attacking the shortcomings of human beings.
For example, the mercenary soldier who was eaten to death just now and failed to make an effective counterattack, if he could be calmer, be more cruel to himself, and decisively catch the spiritual creature attached to him at that time, Not only can he survive, but he can at least have someone to support him.
Of course, he could also take the initiative to save the soldier, but... . . . . .
Thinking of this, Li Yi looked at the soul fire in his palm.
Only then did he finally know that if the soul fire was always activated, it would continue to be consumed. If it was used against the enemy, let alone how much it would consume.
The most important thing is that so far he has not been able to master any attack methods related to the soul fire cultivation method!
At first, after the mercenaries took out night vision goggles and spiritual ammunition and successfully killed many spiritual creatures, Li Yi looked at these veterans with admiration for a while.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon, battle attrition occurred under the attack of this terrifying spiritual creature that couldn't even be seen with night vision goggles.
More importantly, Li Yi didn't do nothing. The moment he "saw" the spirit creature attached to the soldier, he had already changed all the skills he currently had to try to attack. .
The result is regrettable.
None of them are valid.
Neither abilities nor spells, including physical attacks, had any effect.
The spiritual creature seemed to not exist at all in the eyes of everyone, but Li Yi clearly saw that the other party glanced at him provocatively after finishing the meal with satisfaction.
As if to say.
What can you do to me?
The meaning of provocation is not serious!
It was precisely because of the provocative behavior of eating human spirits that Li Yi, who was originally clueless, suddenly had a plan in his mind.
He sneered, seemingly in response to the other party's provocative behavior.
Originally this was nothing, but Li Yi forgot one thing.
This group of mercenaries are all comrades who feel like brothers. They have just lost their comrades and are in grief. In addition, they are afraid of this unknown creature and have nowhere to express their emotions.
And it just so happened that his smile was noticed by a few mercenaries who had just come back to their senses.
Suddenly, as if there was a channel for releasing emotions, the original fear and grief suddenly broke out.
"Hey! That pretty boy, let me ask you, what are you laughing at?"
Li Yi was stunned and replied subconsciously.
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm..."
At this time, the mercenaries present had regained some courage, but this situation did not last long, as the invisible terrifying monster killed one of their comrades in front of everyone's eyes. The flesh and blood of the body was devoured, and the body's skeleton was still scattered on the ground. The hole on the skull was facing everyone, as if to remind them what kind of monster it was.
Grief, fear.
Squeezed by two extreme emotions, everyone urgently needed a channel for release. Originally, they did not lack courage and calmness in their hearts, but the terrifying scene just around the corner made this courage and calmness almost suppressed. It has reached a minimum, but the negative emotions in my head have been maximized.
At this time, if there is not a suitable release channel, something worse may happen.
Li Yi thought of this and looked at the soldiers with distorted faces in front of him. He did not try to explain, because he knew that no matter how he explained at this time, it would only deepen the other party's resentment in the end.
The most important thing at the moment is to avoid further casualties, and the other is to restore the self-confidence of these soldiers.
Logically speaking, if it were Li Yi in the past, he wouldn't care that these were just mercenaries who were slightly stronger than ordinary people.
I don’t know what his intentions were, but in short, Li Yi was unusually easy to talk to this time.
He did not try to distinguish, but nodded, seeming to acquiesce to the other party's statement. At the same time, his eyes were not on these soldiers, but looking around.
Because he had already seen that the full spirit monster did not leave, but was staring at everyone on the field, as if he was sizing up which one to use next.
And with his action, a scene happened that made Li Yi look solemn.
