“It’s a hunting team!” Ning Yanlan recognized the group as well. In Xujia Village, it was this group that had brutally murdered several villagers.

"Celestial Soul Child! Activate Second Form!"

Jiang Yuan dropped the Heavenly Soul Child, which transformed into a beam of light and flew directly into Ning Yanlan's arms.

"Little White, it's difficult for the Heavenly Soul Child to protect two people, so it will assist you!" Jiang Yuan put the fallen mask back on Leng Yue, then handed her over to Ning Yanlan. "Protect her as well, after all, she's our teammate!"

With the Heavenly Soul Child possessing her in its patterned form, Ning Yanlan felt her defense greatly increased. She was originally only a psionic type, and it was difficult for her to compare with others in terms of defense and physical strength, but now that she had the Heavenly Soul Child, she was more like an all-around warrior.

"Don't worry!" Ning Yanlan felt full of confidence after being possessed by the Heavenly Soul Child.

Jiang Yuan nodded. He wouldn't let Ning Yanlan do anything. Giving the Heavenly Soul Child was just to prevent any accidents. He could handle the group of people in front of him by himself.

"So it was you who killed our previous Hunter King?" The leader, a man in black robes, stepped forward. He was a 35-year-old man with a black skull tattooed on one side of his face.

"Hunter King? Who's that!" Jiang Yuan said in a low, husky voice, seemingly unconcerned.

"Chief, that woman carries the soul aura of the previous Hunter King. Her strongest talent must lie within her!" another man in black robes whispered.

"Looks like even a stray dog ​​isn't doing so well!" the man in black sneered repeatedly.

Sky Eye Detection directly obtains the other party's information.

Human (high-level vampire bloodline), eighth-tier strength type, strength: 278, talent: perception.

Perception: A basic talent that grants an exceptional sensitivity to objects.

Human (Primary Dark Rat Bloodline), Rank 6 Soul Energy System, Soul Energy: 80, Talent: Perception.

Perception: A basic talent that grants an exceptional sensitivity to objects.

Apart from these two, everyone else is at or below the fifth rank, and almost everyone possesses the basic talent of perception.

"Interesting, it's actually a talent artificially created through special means!" Jiang Yuan concluded.

"The previous Hunter King just sent a message, he's definitely not dead! As long as we capture him, I can become the strongest member of the hunting team. This is our only chance to become the best!" The strongest eighth-rank black-robed man shouted.

"A superior being!" the sixth-rank black-robed man echoed.

"Kill them! These two will become our prey today!" The man in black robes pointed at Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan.

"I don't understand the situation!" Jiang Yuan cracked his neck, then calmly stepped forward. "How dare you kill someone who has sworn an oath?"

With the power of concentrated energy, Jiang Yuan blasted the black-robed man closest to him to pieces with just one punch.

"Trying to outdo our hunting team in ruthlessness? You've really picked the wrong opponent!" The eighth-rank black-robed man was fearless. He flew forward, intending to deal with Jiang Yuan alone.

"The rest of you, kill that woman and retrieve what the Hunter King left behind!"

At a single command, almost all the men in black robes sprang into action. No one paid any attention to the man Jiang Yuan had just killed with a single punch; it was as if the passing of life was as normal as eating and drinking in their eyes.

"Eighth rank, that should be enough for me to try out my new talent!" Jiang Yuan let the fifth-rank black-robed men pass by him and surge toward Ning Yanlan. In the second form of the Heavenly Soul Child, her defense was enough to withstand most of the attacks.

"I'm just playing dumb; I'll kill you in one move!"

The eighth-rank black-robed man threw a punch at Jiang Yuan's head, wanting to smash this ungrateful person in front of him into dust with one punch.

The fist landed, but Jiang Yuan didn't dodge. He raised his arms and used the dragon-patterned arm guards to catch the blow. The price he paid was that his blood and qi surged, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.

"Not bad, it seems your bloodline isn't weak either!" The man in black robes grinned sinisterly, ten dark red nails growing from his fingertips and digging deep into Jiang Yuan's skin. "But you don't know, do you? I possess a high-level vampire bloodline. It will only take me a few minutes to drain you dry!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, blood began to flow from Jiang Yuan's arm, and all the blood seeped into his body through the man's fingernails.

"You know how to suck blood too?" Jiang Yuan smiled inexplicably, his smile open and indifferent.

The man in black felt a little scared when he heard the laughter, but when he thought that the other party was only at the sixth level and that his bloodline was rotten, all his remaining worries disappeared.

"Laugh all you want now, you won't be able to laugh when you're dead!" The man in black robes increased his blood-drinking speed.

"Then do you know what talent I have!" Jiang Yuan did not withdraw his hand; a sudden surge of power coursed through his veins.

"You... how could you..." The man in black robes sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to withdraw his hand. He could feel the blood he had just inhaled flowing back.

"Talent - Devour!"

The eerie light in Jiang Yuan's eyes pierced through the mask and landed deep within the black-robed man's pupils—a light that inspired terror.

When the Heavenly Eye replaced Devourer, he obtained information about Devourer.

Devour (Super Talent): Influenced by divine energy attributes, it possesses the ability to suppress divine power.

The first form – Positive Devouring – devours everything, from ants to stars. However, Positive Devouring is still limited by its own abilities, and the target will have a short period of adaptation.

The second form – anti-devouring, is an extreme method of devouring. Eating and being eaten are both forms of devouring. This is the difference between digestion and assimilation. However, during the devouring process, your will will be passed on forever.

The two ambiguous interpretations left Jiang Yuan bewildered, but the analysis provided by Tianyan made him carefully choose the first interpretation.

The first form is the conventional method of the big fish eating the small fish to become stronger, while the second form, the reverse devouring, has extended to a level of consciousness. It emphasizes that whether you devour others or are devoured by others, the process is not important. What matters is whose consciousness dominates after you merge with the other party.

In other words, the first form is digesting the target, and the second form is assimilating the target.

For example, if there is a tiger in front of you, the first form of devouring is to kill it, eat its flesh and become stronger, while the second form is to think about using the whole tiger for my own purposes. The two take the advantages of each and merge together, which will most likely create a monster with a human brain and a tiger body. If you encounter a target with a better body later, the reverse devouring will still assimilate you, allowing you to continue to have a stronger body.

The concept of anti-devouring is about the eternal existence of consciousness!

"Isn't it strange that your energy is decreasing?" Jiang Yuan asked with a cold smile.

"You actually obtained that stray dog's talent!" The eighth-rank black-robed man was shocked. He was also a ruthless person. He activated the power in his body and directly broke his arms, and his whole body retreated quickly.

"That's decisive, but do you think it'll work?"

Jiang Yuan took out the God-Slaying Spear and, with the fifty points of power he had gained in a short period of time, unleashed a tenfold hidden attack.

"go!"

The God-Slaying Spear pierced the black-robed man's heart, killing him instantly.

This is the terror of devouring. Unknowingly, one devours a large amount of the opponent's energy and uses it for one's own benefit. This method of reducing the enemy's energy and increasing one's own energy can create a gap in the market in an instant.
