◎In the midst of a war, in a trap, in a reserve warehouse...◎

One long worm would call out to other long worms around it, and the worms would gradually gather, crawl up her body, and follow the guidance into her brain.

The brain space is limited, and the insect mouthparts attached to the nerves, slowly wriggling and devouring her mental power.

Then, the long worms that were unable to rush in due to the crowd bit open the former's body, and their mental power was transmitted and dispersed along the damaged areas.

The worm's mental power was weak, making it difficult for it to devour her quickly. The excruciating pain forced her to wake up. Xu Yan realized that the worm's mental power was so weak that even with such serious injuries, she could still retake its mental power.

Just like she had once survived an invasion of a foreign object.

But the worms were foreign entities that transmitted her spiritual energy. Her spiritual energy could be dispersed and infect hundreds or thousands of worms. What then? What if tens of thousands of worms were attracted to devour her spiritual energy? She could only live within the worms' bodies, constantly being devoured by them, gradually decaying and dying.

unless--

She controlled the long worms to form her body, and moved slowly and arduously towards the tower above ground.

Her mind collapsed for the second time, her mental strength no longer able to control the ever-increasing number of worms. Xu Yan painfully severed her spiritual body, leaving it and its mental strength behind as bait to attract the remaining worms. She retained the most important few worms to carry her consciousness forward.

She completely turned into a worm, and the remaining worms ate her body and formed her new body under the sportswear.

The spiritual imprints left by Xiao Mingran can be superimposed and spread. After becoming foreign objects, in Xuyan's eyes, these remaining spiritual imprints can be traced directly to their source.

She found Xiao Mingran.

Yan Xunzhi took the opportunity to clean out the freezer during a break in the story. There was no sign of Xuyan at all!

"So what about Xuyan? Did you agree to take her with you?"

She didn't think she could survive, mainly because she didn't quite understand the extent of Xiao Mingran's freezing chamber.

According to the current level of technology, even if freezing can extend the preservation time of the spirit, it is completely based on the hibernation characteristics of the foreign body itself. If the preservation time is too long, the spirit power will inevitably be depleted.

Now she knows that Xiao Mingran, Kong Wei, who have been reborn, and Xu Yan, who is suspected to have been reborn, are all guides.

Is there a sentinel in the dungeon who has successfully reborn? She doesn't know.

But for a worm like Xu Yan, whose mental power was already extremely weak, it was a miracle that he could find Xiao Ming Ran. Even if Xiao Ming Ran agreed to take her with him, could she really survive this long hibernation?

Xiao Mingran asked back, "What's it to you?"

Mentally oppressed, no matter how much one gets used to it, it will never be comfortable. Moreover, Xiao Mingran is different from Kong Wei. His mental force is constantly exerting pressure, and Yan Xunzhi is already feeling a little dizzy.

Hearing her words so calmly, my mind was stunned for a moment before I realized what she said.

Nene opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment. "...I'm just asking."

Xiao Mingran raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, "This is me..."

The sound suddenly stopped, as if the machine's audio system was broken, leaving only the image still playing. Yan Xunzhi felt that his mental strength was being rapidly drained.

This was not the first time she shared her mental power with Kong Wei, nor was it the first time she mobilized and used her mental power, but it had never been mobilized so quickly and thoroughly.

Kong Wei took away almost all of her mental power!

Unprepared, Yan Xunzhi instantly lost control of her body and fell backward. Kong Wei stepped forward and cushioned her back with his arm, allowing her to avoid the vital parts and fall to the ground with a dazed look on her butt.

His head slammed hard against the unopened cryostat behind him. His mental strength was gone, and the pain was minimal, leaving him feeling only slightly dizzy. Yan Xunzhi paused for a few seconds, distributing his remaining mental strength throughout his body, and struggled to climb up by clinging to the cryostat.

She leaned back onto the freezer, and in the blur, only blue lights kept flashing.

What……

Before Yan Xunzhi could react to the current situation, Xiao Mingran's mental power had already externalized and pounced on her!

Her mental power was extremely high, like the boundless ocean in the dark night, surging and rising high with the momentum of destroying everything, determined to swallow her up.

The rest of them couldn't even make her stand completely upright. Yan Xunzhi was completely unable to block them and was directly knocked away, slamming into the wall.

Kong Wei took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in, crushing Xiao Mingran's physical wrist!

Xiao Mingran did not linger, turned around and broke his arm. That part of his spiritual body naturally lost its strength and was quickly surrounded by the surging power of Kong Wei.

She had straightened herself up, transformed into a tiger, and asked, "Why did you find such a bad backup warehouse?"

Kong Wei shook off the mental power, transforming into smoke in the air. Yan Xunzhi felt a sharp pain in her nerves as the energy surged into her. It seemed that Officer Kong was really using her as a backup, transferring Xiao Mingran's mental power directly into her domain.

She inherited Yan Xunzhi's ability, and her movements were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Xiao Mingran again.

The tiger leaped forward, and Kong Wei raised her right arm to block, and her skin and flesh were torn apart in an instant. But she didn't hesitate, reaching forward with her other hand to grab her front limbs, and then broke them off with force!

The forelimbs disintegrated again, but the spirit body, solidified by spiritual power, was much more agile than a human. Xiao Mingranshe acted decisively, pushing off the ground with his front paws and turning back in mid-air to bite her.

The tiger's fangs were sharp, and this bite would not only tear her skin and flesh, but would actually bite through her chest.

Kong Wei didn't dare to take it head-on this time. Taking advantage of her turning around, he flung himself behind the cryostat. He then helped Yan Xunzhi up and straightened her up, saying, "Are you okay?"

It's okay, sister! You took away all my mental energy, no normal person would be okay!

Yan Xunzhi felt dizzy and dazed. The eight planets in front of him were shining with golden light one after another. He really wanted to curse.

However, his mouth had already gone weak as he knelt down first, "...It's okay."

Kong Wei stood face to face with the spiritual giant tiger across the freezer, but his hand touched his lower back, unbuttoned it, took out a syringe, and signaled her to inject in the mental image.

The next second, he jumped over the freezing chamber, drew his gun and shot to fend off the giant tiger's attack, then rushed to open the foreign object in the chamber.

What is this? Yan Xunzhi pushed it halfway when he remembered that Kong Wei hadn't said anything. She was injected with various drugs every day, and finally grew into a qualified experimental subject imperceptibly.

The effect of the medicine spread quickly, and his vision gradually became clear. Yan Xunzhi leaned against the wall, holding on to the steel plate with his fingers to keep his balance, and felt his mental picture spreading outward rapidly.

At the same time, my heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and dizziness and nausea came over me again.

The muzzle of the gun was already against the foreign object's head. Xiao Mingran ignored Kong Wei, not even paying attention to her, but instead pounced on her.

Everyone knows that a weakling is easy to pick on. Since she's Kong Wei's backup, killing her first would severely damage Kong Wei's strength. The alien object is merely her vessel; if it dies, a new one will do the trick. The Federation might be even more anxious than she is.

Yan Xunzhi had no mental strength left, and facing Xiao Mingran, whose mental strength was completely condensed, he had no choice but to dodge.

But her initial movement slowed down several times in mid-air, becoming as clear as a stop-motion animation. Yan Xunzhi dodged sideways, following her trail, narrowly missing her claws and teeth...

——It’s not a close call.

Even the movement of dust in the air slowed down.

Only her heartbeat was still trembling endlessly. Yan Xunzhi reached out to pull her tail. The fur was slippery, and she grabbed it, but she didn't use any strength, and it was immediately thrown away.

Xiao Mingran turned around in surprise, and the words still sounded slow in her ears, "What did she give you?"

She also wanted to ask, what did Kong Wei inject into her?

But the effect of the medicine is limited in time, and she knew that this state would definitely not last long. Taking advantage of the sudden increase in her ability, she took a step forward and wanted to directly absorb Xiao Mingran's mental power!

Yan Xunzhi's completely instinctive idea was simple. She shared the picture with Kong Wei, and now her picture had expanded exponentially, so it should be able to accommodate Xiao Mingran.

If Xiao Mingran could be absorbed and placed within their vision, it would be like placing her in their world, where they were the rules. Even if she possessed immense abilities, the rules would still be a shackle, unless she was powerful enough to break them directly.

Xiao Mingran noticed something was wrong with her body, and without any hesitation, he turned around and attacked Kong Wei again.

Yan Xunzhi was quite impressed by her decisiveness. She was a strong person and he had to learn from her!

If it were her, she would probably have to jump around for several rounds...

The two mental powers collided violently in mid-air, and the residual shockwave directly overturned the fixed cryostat. The range encompassed the entire room. Even if Yan Xunzhi could see the trajectory clearly, there was nowhere to hide. He could only mobilize his mental power as much as possible to defend himself. He felt his vision vibrate violently, and even his entire brain seemed to be shaking.

Kong Wei was blown away, blood gushing from his eyes like tears, his face was covered in blood, and the red spreading on his chest was unclear whether it was dripping or from the explosion.

She crashed into the freezer, and taking advantage of the brief moment her body paused, she actually launched several attacks in mid-air towards Xiao Mingran!

Xiao Mingran had limited room to dodge, and even though he twisted his body, he was still shot twice.

The tiger's body lost its strength, and Yan Xunzhi took this opportunity to support his dark vision and pull her towards the empty spiritual picture!

Come in!

Before she could even feel happy, or even realize she should be happy, she heard a crackling sound—

The image was instantly distorted and compressed, like thin paper, being torn to pieces by sharp claws.

It took only half a second for Xiao Mingran to escape from the scene.

He transformed into a humanoid form in mid-air, his eyes smiling and his voice full of pride as he said, "I am a transformed guide. You don't think these are the only abilities I have. How can I fight a weak healing guide like you?"

"The image and mental power are my strongest areas. Didn't she tell you that? You are just a sentinel. Even if you take the medicine to expand, your mental strength is far inferior. At most, your ability can balance mine. How dare you pull me into the image? Now the sentinel is really arrogant and audacious."

She twirled her fingers and understood, "I really haven't told you that. It turns out that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Kong Wei was pressing on her from behind. Her face was covered in blood, her eyes were blurry, and the scar that ran across half of her face made her look like a fierce Shura. "Get out!"

Xiao Mingran's curiosity was piqued. He pinched Yan Xunzhi's head with his five fingers and bent her back. "What's there to be afraid of? I searched your memory and didn't see anything. It's so precious."

Her mental force suddenly pressed down, and Kong Wei was almost in front of her, but he was fixed at a distance of one foot, trembling all over, unable to move forward.

Xiao Mingran's whole body was bright and shiny, and his five fingers dug into Yan Xunzhi's flesh. He asked curiously, "I want to see what secrets you are hiding."
