Chapter 397 Dark Energy Monster

In the information about the Yougui tribe that Ji Xinghuo had read, there were geographical landscapes and cities before the nuclear explosion of the Black Ring Star.

The architectural style of the Yougui tribe is easy to identify.

Unlike most of the Yougui tribe, they are used to living in caves or mountains. They are more like humans, building modern cities with endless high-rise buildings that break through the sky and make full use of space.

This is the case with the ruins in front of us.

However, the entire city and the earth were turned upside down, upside down, and the ruins seemed to be hanging above their heads.

Suffering such a drastic change, most of the buildings have been destroyed and collapsed, leaving only a very small number of buildings made of unknown building materials to maintain the main structure, like giant bamboo shoots inserted upside down into the ground, supporting the dome.

After more than a thousand years of baptism, the ruins are full of ferns.

The collapsed ruins are endless.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the opposite side of the ruins, and even the Wanxiang Star Pupil could not see through the dark that seemed to be constantly churning.

The range of the ruins also exceeded the radius of electromagnetic induction.

The magnetic field is still disordered and chaotic.

"Strange..."

Ji Xinghuo frowned. He had already entered the ruins, but the electromagnetic induction was still unclear, and he could not find the source of the interference magnetic field. It seemed to be everywhere, but it did not affect the normal vision.

In the weak fluorescence, he saw a few fleeting shadows, "There are monsters in the ruins!"

But he did not act rashly, but continued to observe.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo found some footprints, some of which were human and some of other races. Judging from the traces, the time was not long ago.

"This city ruins have been discovered by people a long time ago." Ji Xinghuo was not surprised at all. He relied on electromagnetic induction to find it, and others had other means, or they also had electromagnetic induction.

The star gate of the Black Ring Star was restarted for four hundred years. I don't know how many aliens entered the Ever Dark Rift. It is impossible that no one has discovered the ruins.

Maybe they have been searched hundreds of times by the True Dragons.

In this case, the danger is not great.

Ji Xinghuo remained invisible and flew into the ruins slowly. Being in it, he immediately sensed the abnormality here.

The Wanxiang Star Pupil seemed to be covered with a shadow, and an invisible energy filled every inch of space, like an ocean of ink, permeating all the matter in the space, producing a very strange negative pressure.

It was this energy that interfered with the magnetic field, making oneself feel like being trapped in a quagmire, with a slight stickiness in every move, but without such great resistance.

"Dark energy?"

Ji Xinghuo guessed in his heart, "It could also be dark matter, or both."

96% of the matter in the universe is dark energy and dark matter. They are the background color of the universe, or even the universe itself, driving the movement of the universe with repulsion, but they will not absorb, reflect or radiate light, nor will they interact with most particles.

The dark stringer borrows and manipulates dark energy and dark matter through psychic energy.

Therefore, the dark stringer is one of the most powerful professions.

The race talent "Dark Lord" of the Youhu tribe is the leader in this regard. Their deep research on dark energy and dark matter is not as good as that of the True Dragons.

Three of the five star-herding saints of the Youhu tribe were dark stringers!

"More than a thousand years."

"Such a long time, even if the Youhui tribe once studied dark energy in this city, it should have dissipated."

"But the reality is that it is still working."

"There must be something strange!"

When Ji Xinghuo thought of this, he was immediately refreshed. This situation is likely to be some treasure, but the aliens who have been to the ruins should have discovered it. Is it too late for him to come now?

Suddenly, he sensed danger.

In front of him was a building that was inserted diagonally into the ground. It was originally at least two thousand meters high, but now only the main structure was left.

A black shadow jumped out of the shadow of the wall on the building, a hundred meters above the ground, and jumped down towards him at an extremely fast speed. A large area of ​​black fog-like shadows shrouded the outside of the body, making its outline blurred and difficult to see clearly.

Ji Xinghuo looked up and saw through the shadow at a glance.

This is a dark red monster!

It crawled on all fours like a human, more than two meters long, with no skin on its body, and dark red flesh exposed. It had a huge head like a tumor, but there were no eyes or nose on its face, only a big mouth full of fangs, and a pitch-black throat that seemed to be able to absorb even light.

The monster's forelimbs were disproportionately thick, and it had a pair of huge claws.

It had no vision, but it could detect itself when it was invisible. It looked terrifying and hideous, and launched precise attacks.

When Ji Xinghuo saw the monster clearly, its information was displayed on the lens.

"Dark Eater!"

This is one of the most dangerous monsters on the Black Ring Star. It runs fast and comes and goes without a trace. Their claws can easily tear apart metal. They have strong defense and recovery capabilities, and usually only appear in the deepest underground.

Any Dark Eater can give the aliens a headache. The most terrifying thing is that they are group hunters!

A lot of information flashed before Ji Xinghuo's eyes.

In an instant, he mastered the habits and weaknesses of the Dark Eater and reacted immediately.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning exploded in the air, dispelling the darkness, and the sound of thunder echoed in the ruins.

At the same time, the plasma gun in Ji Xinghuo's hand also opened fire, starting the continuous shooting mode and ejecting a series of plasma beams.

Swish, swish, swish...

The lightning struck the Dark Eater from bottom to top, causing it to stagnate.

Then the shadow layer outside its body was shot through, offsetting part of the energy of the high-temperature beam. The second high-temperature beam followed, shooting into its bloody mouth with incredible precision and piercing out from the top of its head.

Before the Dark Eater could make a cry, another high-temperature beam shot its head and exploded directly into plasma.

[Spiritual Source Energy +28]

With a snap.

The body of the Dark Eater fell in front of him.

Ji Xinghuo didn't even look at it, and kept shooting with his hands. The lightning illuminated more than a dozen Dark Eaters around him, some on the top floor, some hiding in ferns, and some lurking in the shadows behind him.

Unknowingly, he was surrounded by Dark Eaters and attacked at the same time.

There were also flood-level monsters among the Dark Eaters.

This was the greatest danger Ji Xinghuo had encountered since entering the Black Ring Star, but he was not panicked at all, and his eyes were as calm as ice.

Swish, swish...

He held the gun in his left hand and continued to fire. Three consecutive high-temperature beams shot the head of a Dark Eater attacking from the left, then turned the gun around and fired three more shots, killing another Dark Eater that jumped down from the top.

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind Ji Xinghuo, and a huge claw slashed his neck, leaving a dark scratch.

Ji Xinghuo seemed to have eyes behind his head and flashed forward.

Flash step!

He ignored the Dark Eater that "leaped in the shadow" and didn't even look back, because Qinghong had already gone to battle.

A huge monster appeared in the same place, and the Dark Eater's claws slashed on the gold, silver and blue scales, splashing countless sparks. Before it could continue to attack, an invisible gravity field was released from Qinghong, and the gravity increased twenty times.

The Dark Eaters attacking from all around dropped their speed.

Qinghong waved the Sky-Splitting Claw and responded to the Dark Eater in front of him, tearing the monster into pieces with one claw.

Ji Xinghuo stood in the gravity field and fired continuously. The muzzle of the gun moved back and forth, and high-temperature beams shot out. Each beam hit the monster accurately. Three shots blew up a dark eater, and five were killed in a few seconds.

The shadow under his feet suddenly came to life, as if something was trying to get out.

Ji Xinghuo's body rose and stepped on it.

Boom!

The ground shook, and a spiral force burst out from his feet, instantly crushing the dark eater that had just jumped out into a meat paste.

At the same time, there were constant thunders in the sky and lightnings were constantly striking down.

The dark eaters hiding in the shadows were forced to show up, making them nowhere to hide. They moved slower in the gravity field, and Qinghong rushed up and tore them apart with one claw.

Amid the gunshots and thunder, dark eaters were killed every second.

The spiritual source energy prompt was refreshing the screen.

Even so, there were still dark eaters who resisted the lightning and arcs, leaping from the shadows to Ji Xinghuo's side and attacking.

They seemed to have no emotions, no concept of fear, like zombies.

Ji Xinghuo held the electric blade in his right hand.

He did not activate the All-Seeing Senluo, but his microscopic perception was always there. He was in control of all the movements within five meters of his body. The flow of air and energy, the conduction of sound waves and force, all the details were presented in his mind, with a keen insight, as if he knew everything.

After shooting and blasting a Dark Eater, Ji Xinghuo turned around and slashed with a knife.

Lightning flashed.

A Dark Eater just jumped out of the shadow on the side and was cut in half. Ji Xinghuo turned the blade and slashed again.

Thunder Cut!

His whole body turned into a knife light and swept across more than ten meters, leaving four more bodies cut in half on the ground.

Then he stopped where he was and continued to shoot.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen Dark Eaters were almost dead.

Ji Xinghuo's eyes penetrated the shadow, and his body instantly expanded to more than four meters high. His strength soared, and the lightning in his eyes jumped. He slashed with a thunder cut, and a ruined wall a hundred meters away was cut like tofu.

A Dark Eater, obviously larger in size, fell out of the shadows, waving its claws to block Ji Xinghuo's sword.

Clang!

The claws that could tear metal broke, and a red line appeared on the body of this Flood-level Dark Eater. Then its body slid down diagonally, revealing a flat cross-section. Its head was chopped off, and it was completely dead.

[Spiritual Energy +265]

Ji Xinghuo stood with a knife, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

The movement of the battle attracted more Dark Eaters. They approached from the shadows and were about to join the siege. After the death of this Flood-level Dark Eater, they suddenly stopped together, merged into the darkness and retreated back to the depths of the ruins.

"There are a lot of them!"

Ji Xinghuo saw hundreds of Dark Eaters, and he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

The Dark Eaters were at least elite level.

Most of them were super-group level. Killing them would give you a lot of spiritual energy. If there were a large number of Dark Eaters in the ruins, it would be the best hunting ground!

He reached out and touched the corpse in front of him.

[Monster: Dark Eater]

[Level: Natural Disaster - Flood]

[Species: Touch of Darkness, Shadow Escape, Shadow Jump, Giant Blood Claw, Rip, Extreme Self-Healing, Bloodthirsty Rage, High Toughness]

"It turned out to be Touch of Darkness!"

Ji Xinghuo only then knew why Dark Eaters have such sharp perceptions despite having no vision.

Touch of Darkness is a super-limited ability that integrates one's touch into the darkness, and can detect the movement of everything within the range, as well as the slight vibrations emitted. It is very sensitive and is one of the super-model abilities of "Shadow Blade".

There are not many species of this Flood-level Dark Eater, but the combined effect is powerful.

The monsters on the Black Ring Star all have this commonality.

Obviously, it is also a product of the biotechnology of the Youhu tribe. It almost combines the "Shadow Blade" and the "Giant General". It has super strong concealment ability and strong body strength, which is quite difficult to deal with.

Ji Xinghuo checked the information of other dark eaters and found that their species were not exactly the same.

Some lacked this, and some lacked that.

All the species were collected, and there were 18 in total, excluding the same ones.

If a dark eater had all these species, it would at least reach the magnitude of earthquake, or even meteorite-level monsters, which is extremely powerful.

Ji Xinghuo looked into the depths of the ruins.

There was a lot of spiritual energy he wanted, but there might be terrible monsters that could threaten him.

He waved to Qinghong without hesitation, and it shrank to a miniature form and fell into his pocket.

Then he activated invisibility and continued to go deeper into the ruins.

Not long after.

Ji Xinghuo found a group of dark eaters, a total of eight, scattered and lurking in a building ruin, motionless like dead things.

He pretended not to notice and approached in invisibility.

Sure enough, the Dark Eaters noticed the prey, moved silently, and began to hunt.

The battle broke out.

It was over in less than a minute, and the eight Dark Eaters turned into pieces on the ground.

Ji Xinghuo harvested nearly 200 points of spiritual energy.

"The efficiency of hunting Dark Eaters is indeed much higher than hunting other monsters outside." He was very happy, and quickly collected the alien species and continued to wander in the ruins, intending to clear the monsters one by one.

Ji Xinghuo tirelessly used himself as bait and hunted hundreds of Dark Eaters in a row. In just ten hours, his spiritual energy increased by 6,000 points!

However, as he hunted more and more, it seemed that something happened between the Dark Eaters, and they deliberately avoided him.

"It doesn't matter, I'll change places."

Ji Xinghuo looked at the ruins.

Although most of the city of the Youhu tribe was destroyed, the remaining ruins were also very large, and it would take a while to explore the end. He moved the hunting area, and sure enough, the Dark Eaters who had just arrived in the place were unaware and were easily hooked.

After several hours of hunting, the spiritual energy was close to 60,000 points.

"So cool!"

Ji Xinghuo put the alien species into the dragon ring, and was about to make persistent efforts to find the next group of dark eaters, but his eyebrows suddenly felt like a needle prick.

Danger warning!

Wanxiang Senluo was automatically activated, and the world slowed down.

Ji Xinghuo's vision showed countless streams of light, evolving the future scene. He saw that the hundreds of meters around him suddenly darkened, as if all the light was swallowed up. Fortunately, Wanxiang Xingpu was not affected and was still clearly visible.

As the surroundings darkened, the dark energy that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly surged, like a black wave sweeping over.

An energy vortex with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly appeared in front of him.

Everything in the vortex was sucked to the center.

Ji Xinghuo was also sucked to the center of the vortex by an irresistible force. The tide of dark energy squeezed his whole body, making it difficult to move. The star power in his body also stagnated, and it became extremely difficult to use superpowers or activate weapons and equipment.

When he was controlled by the vortex, a black laser shot out from the air, as thick as an arm, and went straight to Ji Xinghuo's head.

The super-powered battle suit worn on the outside was instantly pierced.

The three layers of protection, tantalum silicon armor, manifold barrier and holy scale armor, were all activated, and finally blocked the black laser.

"What is it?"

Ji Xinghuo still couldn't move, but the Universal Star Pupil had locked the target.

In the shadow of the source of the black laser, there was a strange thing more than two meters high.

It had a humanoid outline, but no feet. The lower body was a dark energy vortex. The body grew out of the middle of the vortex, and it expanded more and more upwards. There was a pair of rough arms on both sides, without fingers, and no neck from the chest. The head was thick, and the front of the face was barely a pair of narrow eyes flashing with a faint blue light. The whole body was constantly flowing, and the black energy dripped down and flowed back from the vortex to the body, and the cycle continued.

"Energy creature!"

Ji Xinghuo finally saw this monster that seemed to be between reality and illusion, but he had never seen it before.

The scanning glasses specially used by the Black Ring Star also yielded no results.

Its eyes fired black lasers again, but still failed to break Ji Xinghuo's defense. At this time, two seconds had passed, and Ji Xinghuo had been sucked into the center of the vortex.

The control time of the vortex was about to end.

The body of the energy creature spread out and turned into a black wave, carrying the tide of dark energy towards Ji Xinghuo.

This wave was like a liquid flame, with the killing effect of ultra-high temperature burning and extremely low temperature freezing.

It rushed directly to Ji Xinghuo and completely submerged him.

Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo felt the taste of ice and fire, hot and cold. The tantalum silicon armor disintegrated instantly, and the manifold barrier was corroded and collapsed. The terrible liquid black fire seeped into the body from the gap of the holy scale armor.

In just a moment, Ji Xinghuo was injured, and his whole body was in great pain, and his body seemed to collapse.

Even Qinghong suffered and screamed in pain.

Finally, the suction of the vortex disappeared.

Ji Xinghuo activated his flashing boots without hesitation, teleported dozens of meters away, and escaped the erosion of the liquid black fire.

The picture stopped.

The scene in front of Ji Xinghuo changed and returned to the time before the attack. What he saw in these few seconds was the future, which has not happened yet.

Time is still passing slowly, and there is silence.

Ji Xinghuo turned his head and locked onto the energy creature. It had just emerged from the shadows and was about to darken the surroundings, then release an energy vortex on him, launching a series of strange and terrifying attacks.

His mind moved.

Teleport!

Almost at the moment when Ji Xinghuo disappeared, the surroundings became completely dark, and then the energy vortex appeared at his previous position.

But this time, the vortex released by the monster was empty.

It obviously did not expect that Ji Xinghuo could actually avoid its control and attack. On the blurred and flowing face, the pair of blue and narrow eyes froze for a moment, and the black laser that was about to be shot stopped.

"It's my turn!"

After Ji Xinghuo teleported, he "accelerated" without looking back, instantly reaching his fastest speed, flying out of the dark range and pulling away.

With the Song of the Spirit String in his hand, he pulled the bowstring.

In the midst of the hurricane, Ji Xinghuo turned around and shot a chain of arrows. With a thunderous roar, it turned into a swift lightning and rushed straight to the monster.
