At the critical moment, Li Zhiming's eyes regained clarity.

"Xuan Xingsha!"

He whispered, and the sea of ​​his spirit surged and rolled. The terrifying mental power instantly expanded and condensed into a golden barrier between his eyebrows.

The ink-like black mist was bounced away by the condensed mental barrier, like a pinball, bouncing on the ground.

"What a wicked thing!"

Li Zhiming's expression was solemn. Fortunately, he remained vigilant at all times, otherwise he would have fallen into the trap.

[Race: Strange Creature]

[Grade: Early High Level (Immature)]

[Spiritual: Very high]

【Source: Unknown】

[Features: Possessing an extremely long lifespan, able to resist the erosion of time, possessing a strong evil nature, able to parasitize any living being, absorbing the energy it needs from it, and causing it to mutate, gaining even more powerful evil powers]

[Talents: Split (enabled), Parasitism (enabled), Change (not enabled), Devour (not enabled), Body Transformation (not enabled)]

Li Zhiming stared at the black fog and scanned it from all directions with his holographic eye.

An information panel about this thing then appeared in front of Li Zhiming.

"Strange creatures?"

"High-level pollution source?"

"What the hell are these..."

Li Zhiming looked more solemn than ever before.

This was his first time coming into contact with this thing. He had never heard of it before, nor had he seen it in ancient books.

This was a completely new creature, and he knew nothing about it.

Fortunately, there is the holographic eye.

This prevents him from falling into a huge disadvantage due to information asymmetry in the battle with the opponent.

"Some kind of parasite?"

"There is no real body, or the body is just that black mist."

Li Zhiming guessed in his heart.

Although I don't know much about strange creatures.

But obviously, this thing is not a good thing.

The breath was full of blood and evil, and it took the opportunity to attack him, causing the centipede to mutate and devour a large number of warriors.

A green jade bottle appeared in Li Zhiming's palm. This was the Soul Bottle. He planned to capture the strange creature alive and find time to study it carefully.

Knowing more about this unknown group of people will make it easier to deal with them when you encounter them again in the future.

After bouncing dozens of times on the ground, the black mist leaped high and shot towards the falcon hovering above the valley.

The falcon sensed the danger coming, but it was just an ordinary falcon after all. How could a mere ninth-rank little demon resist the weirdness?

The black mist penetrated into the falcon's brows. The falcon, which was circling in the sky, suddenly became unfocused, its wings lost strength, and it fell toward the ground.

When it was halfway down, Li Zhiming could clearly feel that the falcon's breath was changing dramatically, and at the same time, its body began to undergo some kind of mutation.

Immediately afterwards, the falcon's eyes turned into the same blood red as the millipede.

It regained consciousness, flapped its wings, and created waves of rapid whistling sounds in the wind.

This is not the end. The falcon, which was originally not very big, began to grow its wings and claws rapidly, and its body also began to swell.

In just a few breaths, the falcon turned into a huge bird with a wingspan of about ten feet.

At the same time, his realm ascended and his demonic power reached the fourth level!

"After being invaded by the weirdness, the body directly underwent a huge mutation, and the realm was raised from the ninth level to the fourth level?!"

When Li Zhiming saw the falcon coming towards him, his face became very solemn.

It was the first time he had seen a monster with such strange abilities. Moreover, after parasitism, the host's combat effectiveness increased by dozens of times. This increase was really exaggerated.

Li Zhiming killed the millipede, which was equivalent to destroying the "home" of the strange creature.

Guiyi was filled with anger, and the first thing he did after obtaining the host body was to seek revenge on Li Zhiming!

The falcon descended from the sky and stabbed Li Zhiming like a straight sword.

It cried so sharply that it almost pierced people's eardrums, but it had no effect on Li Zhiming.

In the blink of an eye, the falcon was less than two meters away from Li Zhiming!

It flapped its wings, and powerful demonic power condensed out and shot towards Li Zhiming's face like a rain of pear blossom needles.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Hundreds of sharp blades formed by demonic energy flew towards him. Li Zhiming's eyes changed slightly, and he stretched out his internal energy to block all the attacks of the Iron-winged Eagle.

The next second, he disappeared from the spot.

The iron-winged eagle's red eyes spun up and down, looking for Li Zhiming.

But Li Zhiming was too fast, and it was only at the fourth level, so it couldn't keep up with Li Zhiming's movements.

Swish~

Li Zhiming quietly appeared behind the Iron-winged Eagle.

"die!"

A simple word rang out.

Li Zhiming took advantage of the situation and slapped out with his palm, and powerful fire energy rolled out, destroying everything in its path.

The Iron-Winged Eagle was engulfed in flames, and its charred body fell toward the ground. Wisps of black smoke came out of its body, and it had been burned beyond recognition.

Li Zhiming stared at the iron-winged eagle. He knew that the strange creature would not sit still and wait for death. It would definitely break away from the host and escape again.

Sure enough, when the Iron-winged Eagle was about to land, a ball of black mist emerged from its forehead.

"Um?"

"The breath seems to be much weaker."

"I see."

Li Zhiming narrowed his eyes.

After the host of this strange creature is killed, its strength will also decrease.

The aura of the black mist was directly reduced by two levels, but the strange creature that had not yet transformed into a complete body was unable to release its power to the maximum extent.

So it found a new host, but the host was just an ordinary falcon and it was still unable to release its full strange power.

However, the falcon still mutated under the catalysis of the strange creature and grew into a fourth-grade demon.

After the death of this fourth-grade falcon, the strange aura decreased again and was only at the third grade.

"It seems that an immature strange creature, no matter how high its grade or how strong its aura, cannot exert its own power. It must have a suitable host."

After a fight and observation, Li Zhiming obtained some key information.

Whether an immature strange creature can unleash its full power depends on the host's own conditions.

Even though the aura in the black fog has now dropped to the third level, if there is a third-level warrior as a parasite, it will burst out with the power of the second level!

Li Zhiming exerted force with his legs and chased after the black fog like a flaming meteor streaking across the sky.

At this time, the black fog launched a surprise attack on the warriors in front of the ruins.

Upon seeing this, everyone stepped back and gathered together to deal with the sudden appearance of the strange black fog.

Although its aura had weakened, it was still faster than an average third-grade warrior, but in Li Zhiming's eyes it was as slow as a turtle.

In just a few breaths, Li Zhiming caught up with the black fog.

"Little thing, where are you running to!"

Li Zhiming stretched out his hand, and a huge palm condensed by fire energy grabbed the strange creature.

The black fog turned its head and saw two red lights flickering. Those should be its eyes.
