Chapter 318: Petrification Crisis

The cave was not far from where Duan Ming and the rock beast were fighting, so even though Duan Ming was a little exhausted, he soon felt it.

After carefully observing that there was no danger inside, Duan Ming entered the cave.

After finding a relatively hidden location, Duan Ming took out the quasi-S-level crystal he had just obtained.

Duan Ming planned to absorb this crystal while he had just finished fighting and was now quite enlightened, and try to break through the AAAAA level.

Having made up his mind, Duan Ming began to try to meditate and absorb this quasi-S-level crystal core after a simple early warning device was installed by his subordinates around him.

As the absorption began, Duan Ming only felt a surge of energy pouring into his body.

Duan Ming's body, which was originally somewhat empty due to excessive use of energy, was immediately filled with this energy, and then further accumulated, allowing Duan Ming to steadily improve towards AAAAA.

However, just as Duan Ming tried to further absorb this energy. Duan Ming suddenly felt that his body and veins began to become somewhat stiff.

This stiff feeling was not unfamiliar. It was exactly the feeling of Duan Ming's body being partially petrified after being hit by the breath of the rock beast.

After realizing this, Duan Ming immediately planned to stop absorbing energy.

However, because he had absorbed too much crystal core energy without any defense, Duan Ming's whole body fell into a state of rigidity, and for a while he was unable to stop absorbing the crystal core energy on his own.

After realizing this, Duan Ming's face gradually became ugly.

Looking at the stone spots that gradually began to appear on his body, Duan Ming couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it, I was careless. I didn't expect that the rock energy in this crystal core was so thick that it would affect me.

Did I really underestimate the quasi-S level? Even if it was quasi, it put me in such a difficult situation~"

After sighing helplessly for a few times, Duan Ming began to think about how to get out of the current predicament.

After all, reflection is necessary, but now is not the time for reflection, life is the most important thing.

Feeling his meridians becoming more and more stiff, Duan Ming knew that he didn't have much time.

"If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll turn into a stone man because of the rock energy I've absorbed.

By then, even if I survive by chance, I'll be completely dead if I'm afraid of death.

Now, if I want to get out of this predicament, I'm afraid I'll have to use my mental power to forcefully activate the energy in my body, and disconnect myself from the crystal core through energy explosion."

Thinking of this only way, Duan Ming couldn't help but fall silent.

Not to mention how difficult it is to forcefully activate the out-of-control energy in the body with mental power, even if I succeed in activating it.

Do I have the determination to let the energy explode in my body? You know, this is an explosion in the meridians.

There are only two consequences of doing this, either the meridians are broken and I become a cripple, or I explode and die.

Feeling his increasingly stiff body, Duan Ming knew that he had no time to hesitate.

If he dragged on, his meridians and body would probably turn into stone completely.

By then, let alone the meridian explosion, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to activate the energy.

In the end, Duan Ming decided to take a gamble.

After all, there is still a 50% chance of surviving the self-destructing meridians. As long as you can survive, you have the possibility of recovery.

But if you sit and wait for death, there is only one way to go.

Having made up his mind, Duan Ming began to use his mental power to force the energy in his body.

Prepare to set off firecrackers in his body and in his meridians. Or hundreds of earth-red ones.

As the energy nodes gradually gathered under the urging of Duan Ming's mental power, Duan Ming's body gradually lit up with star-like light spots. This made Duan Ming look very gorgeous and dazzling.

But at this time, Duan Ming no longer had the mind to pay attention to the stars on his body.

Because the next operation must hit the whole spirit, otherwise a mistake will make Duan Ming really become a star in the sky.

And just as Duan Ming was concentrating on urging physical energy, several oval pebbles around Duan Ming began to tremble slightly.

With a crisp sound, one end of a large pebble broke. A small head poked out of the crack.

After a period of time that was neither long nor short. Duan Ming finally gathered enough energy to blast the meridians at several meridian nodes in his body.

Duan Ming used his mental power to look inside the bright spots in his body, and took a deep breath.

He began to use his mental power to detonate one of the bright spots.

As Duan Ming's mental power urged, the bright spot became brighter and brighter. Under the inner vision of Duan Ming's mental power, it was like a sun that was about to explode, full of energy that was enough to make Duan Ming fall into ruin.

Finally, the brightness of this bright spot reached its maximum value. This also means that this bright spot is about to explode.

Duan Ming's mental power closely watched this bright spot, waiting for the opponent's explosion.

However, just when Duan Ming felt that this bright spot was about to explode, this bright spot suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The bright spot suddenly disappeared from the body, which instantly plunged Duan Ming's mental vision into darkness.

The sudden situation directly confused Duan Ming, so that Duan Ming subconsciously shouted in his heart at this critical moment: "MD, the lights are turned off!"

It's no wonder that Duan Ming cursed in his heart. After all, Duan Ming was finally ready to die if he didn't succeed.

I finally made up my mind to be indifferent to life and death, and to explode if I don't accept it.

I finally thought about whether I would really become a star after I die.

As a result, Duan Ming's pants fell off and the lights were turned off!

"What on earth is going on!"

Before Duan Ming's doubts were solved, the other light spots in Duan Ming's body disappeared one by one.

Seeing this, Duan Ming couldn't help but shout in his heart: "What on earth is going on! Where are the energy nodes gathered in my body? So many energy nodes, so bright energy nodes, how can they disappear just like that!"

I don't know if it's because it involves life and death, Duan Ming was anxious for the first time in a long time.

Sitting up subconsciously, Duan Ming planned to scold the sky, the earth and the air.

However, when he really sat up. Duan Ming realized a problem: "Ah~ I can move?"

Just when Duan Ming was stunned, a wet feeling appeared on Duan Ming's face.

Duan Ming put away his mental power of introspection, opened his eyes and shifted his attention to the front.

I saw a rock beast cub about 1.5 meters long raising its body and sticking its tongue out towards him.

Seeing this, Duan Ming subconsciously slapped the rock beast cub's tongue to the side.

The rock beast cub, who had been planning to kneel and lick, was slapped for no reason, and couldn't help but let out a cry, lowering his head in grievance.

His round body crawled on the ground, with his butt sticking out and shaking, as if he was in pain because of the slap on his tongue.
