Outside the city wall, in an almost completely stagnant area, the strange beast was getting closer and closer to Shi Jin.
Its attack was even faster, and it was about to tear the human in front of it apart on the spot.
Shi Jin seemed to be independent from the world. She could see the frightened expressions of some soldiers and the changes in Luke's body on the city wall.
But at this moment, in her subjective realm, no one could help her.
The armadillo's long tail swung over like an iron whip. Although its body's movement speed was still not fast, the tail, which was as thick as a normal person's waist, still made a sound of breaking through the air due to the whip effect.
Shi Jin felt that his eyes had been strengthened at this moment. Although there was no way to avoid it, he could still clearly see the movement trajectory of the tail.
Shi Jin didn't know whether it was her real vision or just a fantasy before death, but she still wanted to make one last attempt.
For most people with super powers, using their abilities will consume their energy or mental strength.
Although Shi Jin has expanded his abilities to the maximum at this moment, he still has a lot of energy left.
At the moment when the long whip that carried the air with a whistling sound was about to hit her, Shi Jin released all his remaining mental strength.
She didn't know what the consequences would be, but she didn't want to die, at least not in a way that she hadn't given her all.
After doing this, Shi Jin maintained the state of time being frozen, staring at the strange beast and its long tail with wide eyes, waiting for death to come.
The next moment, in her subjective consciousness, she saw the long tail gradually returning along the same trajectory, and the armadillo's face showed an expression of astonishment, just like that of a human.
After the same brief moment of astonishment, Shi Jin seemed to understand something.
In her ability system, time is like flowing water, and most people and things are like duckweed drifting on the water.
Shi Jin's ability is essentially to use his mental power to influence the invisible "water flow".
Therefore, the order of Shi Jin's ability awakening is to start from accelerating himself, then exert influence on the surrounding environment, achieving a certain range of slow time, and then become stagnant like a mainstay.
And now, Shi Jin has gone a step further and achieved the feat of swimming against the current, allowing things that happened in the past to reappear before his eyes in reverse order.
Her influence on time is still limited to the material level, so the strange beast in front of her can only watch her body slowly retreat uncontrollably, but she has no way to truly resist all this.
The reverse flow time did not last long, only about five seconds in Shi Jin's subjective opinion, but it was enough.
At that time, Jin's mental strength was exhausted, and she had no choice but to sit on the ground. The strange beast in front of her had retreated more than ten meters away, leaving her with room to struggle again.
The next moment, Shi Jin felt someone appear behind him and grabbed the back of his combat uniform.
"Well……"
She wanted to say something, but she felt a force strangling her neck.
The combat uniform shouldn't be pulled so tight...
As Shi Jin thought so, he fell backwards with the force and then appeared on the city wall.
El came up from behind her:
"One good news and one bad news..."
"Boss, don't argue at this time."
A stream of light quickly turned into a solid entity, and Luke appeared beside the two of them.
"The good news is that the battle over there is over. The bad news is that because I transferred that enemy over here, we now have two alien beasts to fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ming, who was busy stirring the stomach of the strange beast, returned to the top of the city wall. The three of them looked in the direction of El's sight and saw a... half-goat-headed demon man appear in the sky.
The left half of its body had almost disappeared, and the broken end was a mass of black stuff that looked extremely disgusting and hideous.
"This type of sheep-headed body is characterized by its strong strength and agility. That full-powered naval gun only evaporated half of its body without the fog covering it."
El explained matter-of-factly:
"I thought it would be alerted if I fired it again, so I brought it here for you to see. After all...
“Good things should be shared.”
"Let's get down to business."
Yan Ming suddenly interrupted the conversation between the three people and pointed at the two strange beasts who were also communicating with their eyes:
"I know the three of you are very tired, and a little chat can help you regain your energy, but if we don't start the action soon, those two over there will have to discuss it."
“That’s true…”
El spread his hands:
"So, seeing that you all look exhausted, you must have just completed a 'breakthrough', right? Let's discuss what each of you has achieved."
"I suggest we talk while we fight."
A blood-red shield suddenly unfolded in front of the three people, blasting away more than a dozen slender black thorns.
Yan Ming no longer cared about what the three people discussed. He left a sentence "I will buy time, you guys figure out a solution" and then threw himself into the battlefield again.
The armadillo monster and the sheep-headed demon monster below had both fought with Yan Ming. Although his current state was not at the peak of his physical strength, he was still able to just hold them off.
Under the gaze of countless compound eyes, blood-red smoke erupted in the air outside Hope City, and a "strange beast" with a streamlined body joined the battlefield at a speed that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.
His bloody body moved swiftly between the two strange beasts. Since he had no intention of killing the other party, Yan Ming's psychological burden was much lighter and his movements became smoother.
The two strange beasts, perhaps with some desire for the color red in their genes, were all mocked by Yan Ming. The three of them began to fight in turns in the air and on the ground.
After about thirty seconds of such intense fighting and chasing, Yan Ming heard the retreat order from Luke on the blood-soaked communicator.
He had no desire to fight and instantly turned into a flash of red and disappeared from the battlefield.
The two strange beasts were naturally extremely angry, so they all looked in the direction where the enemy was fleeing, which was the top of the city wall.
Three figures appeared in their eyes. Although the three people had different postures at this moment, the activity of their biofields had all reached an unprecedented peak.
The two strange beasts instantly entered the highest state of alert. They did not lose their minds because of Yan Ming's ridicule. Instead, they seemed to be ignited with fighting passion and were eager to kill the strong human.
The next moment, the armadillo monster saw the spikes that were launched onto the top of the city wall all fly up and begin to fly towards this side in a strange trajectory, just as incomprehensible as itself being "flipped upside down" a few minutes ago.
At this moment, its own angry roar resounded in its consciousness—
How dare humans use their own weapons against themselves!
