Xiao Jie’s spiritual sense avatar hovered in mid-air, not daring to approach the scattered black substances recklessly.
Although the core of the Demon Star had already been annihilated, theoretically these remnants should have lost their unified control center, but Xiao Jie knew the potential risks within them.
In the previous battle, the astonishing combat displayed by these black substances was truly daunting. It’s always wise to be cautious before fully understanding their nature.
He maintained a safe distance, quietly observing the scattered black sli.
At first glance, these black substances seed completely silent, losing their activity. There were no blood bar or level displays above them, as if they had entirely blended into the environnt, becoming harmless elents.
However, when Xiao Jie focused for a closer look, he noticed sothing. These black substances were not entirely still; they were wriggling, crawling, and spreading at an extrely slow, almost imperceptible pace on the surfaces they adhered to.
It was a bizarre movent between life and non-life, resembling the foraging behavior of so primitive creature, yet seeming rely a slow physical diffusion, making it difficult to define their essence.
Xiao Jie quickly locked his target on a relatively small glob of black liquid at the edge of the ruins, about the size of a football, which seed less threatening.
He controlled the spiritual sense avatar, slowly approaching it. Fifty ters, thirty ters, twenty ters... The black liquid still showed no reaction, like a dead thing.
Yet, the mont he entered the ten-ter range, a mutation suddenly occurred!
The seemingly dormant black liquid suddenly "ca to life"! Its surface instantly bulged, with several tentacle-like structures ford from the black liquid surging underneath, propelling the whole blob like a compressed spring, shooting up with lightning speed, aiming directly for Xiao Jie’s spiritual sense avatar’s face!
(Damn! Is it trying to mimic a facehugger from Alien?) Xiao Jie was startled.
The ambush speed of this thing was extrely fast. An average player would likely get caught instantly, but Xiao Jie was prepared, and as an Immortal, his spiritual sense’s acuity and response speed far exceeded mortal imagination.
In fact, Xiao Jie was currently in a spiritual sense state, theoretically immune to physical attacks. But he wasn’t willing to take risks—this creation spawned from the Demon Star could absorb and convert energy attacks; who knows if it evolved special attack thods against spiritual bodies and divine senses.
With a thought, his spiritual sense avatar blurred, drifting laterally dozens of ters away as if by instant teleportation.
The black liquid that pounced missed, twisting oddly mid-air, seemingly wanting to attack again. But Xiao Jie had already retreated thirty to fifty ters away. The black liquid, like a poisonous snake that lost its target, twisted and probed montarily, then seemingly due to the distance, gave up, slowly collapsing back into an inconspicuous black stain on the ground.
"Interesting, it’s quite sensitive." Xiao Jie mused. It seems that although the Demon Star is dead, these remaining black substances remain dangerous, at least retaining autonomous defense or attack chanisms.
So, what is its specific attack power? What are the attack criteria?
Xiao Jie ford a magic formula with his hand, pointing towards the ground.
Immortal Law—Stone-to-Soldier!
A pile of rubble instantly converged, transforming in the blink of an eye into a rough but distinctly shaped two-ter-tall rock puppet. The stone man took heavy steps, approaching another slightly smaller blob of black sli.
Unexpectedly, when the rock puppet reached the sli, even lightly touching the edge with its stone foot, the black substance showed no reaction, remaining quietly sprawled as if it were truly just a harmless oil slick.
"Huh? No attack?" Xiao Jie was surprised, "Could it be just targeting ? Because I participated in the Demon Star’s kill, these black slis have ’muscle mory,’ rembering my scent? Or... does this thing only attack ’living beings,’ having no interest in dead objects like stones?"
To verify his hypothesis, Xiao Jie again ford a magic formula with his hands.
Immortal Law—Spirit Snake Chaotic Dance!
In an instant, a dozen vibrant, snake-arm-thick colorful venomous snakes were summoned out of thin air.
These snakes, transford by immortal power, hissed and slithered flexibly through the cracks among the ruins.
When one of the snakes approached a blob of black sli, mutation arose again!
The sli repeated its trick, leaping up like a black net, instantly enveloping the energy-based snake! The snake thrashed and writhed frantically within the sli, like falling into a sticky swamp, unable to escape.
In rely two or three seconds, its struggle weakened and finally ceased completely. The sli seed to have had a "full al," its volu slightly, almost imperceptibly, expanding before collapsing back to the ground, turning tranquil again.
In the ensuing minutes, none of the remaining dozen snakes escaped; they were all pounced upon and completely devoured when nearing different black liquid blobs. The aggression of these black slis was notably formidable, rendering the low-level demons Xiao Jie summoned defenseless against them.
Xiao Jie continued manifesting more powerful creatures like wolves, tigers, and bears for testing. The results were the sa—once these "living beings" ca within a certain range, they imdiately triggered the swift pounce and devour from the black slis.
