Yuan Rui's soul flame actually inherited the white fox's corrosive soul attack method, and seemed to have been fused and strengthened by Yuan Rui's attributes, becoming extremely domineering.

You know, Zhang Mu's mental shield is specially designed to fight against this kind of mental attack, but its corrosiveness gives Zhang Mu a headache, because it doesn't confront you face to face with force, but burns you and erodes you in a chronic way. Zhang Mu doesn't have a deep understanding of the mental passport now, so he has no way to deal with this type of mental attack. The most crucial thing is that Yuan Rui has just awakened this means of soul attack and cannot control it freely. Now Zhang Mu is like a dumb person eating bitter gourd, unable to speak out his pain.

Zhang Mu felt that he was unlucky because he had been ignored by the monk zombies for some reason. Now, he was burned and corroded by Yuan Rui's soul flame. His soul shield was not fake, right? In the past, he had seen spiritual evolutionists with this ability, and they were all very powerful and invulnerable. How come when it came to him, there were people, mutant beasts, and even zombies who could break through it?

In fact, we really can't blame the quality of Zhang Mu's mental shield. People with different status and abilities will naturally meet different people. The monk zombie he met before and Yuan Rui now are both outstanding people who can stand at the top of their own tribe. Zhang Mu can be on par with them and slightly surpass them, which is already the limit.

Yuan Rui couldn't take it back, and Zhang Mu didn't say anything. He just kept on replenishing his mental shield with the remaining mental power. Yuan Rui took it for granted that Zhang Mu was just testing her new ability, and kept smiling at Zhang Mu who seemed calm on the surface.

Zhang Mu was in real misery. The power of the soul flame burning on his mental shield did not weaken significantly over time, but slowly decreased at an extremely small rate. It was worthy of being a flame that had risen to the point of transforming into an ancient mythical beast like the phoenix. It was truly unique.

Fortunately, Yuan Rui had not given it much spiritual energy before, so it stopped abruptly when it had consumed half of the thickness of Zhang Mu's spiritual shield, and then stopped again.

But Zhang Mu could feel that Yuan Rui's soul

The flames not only corroded his mental shield, otherwise he would not have been able to last so long.

He had a very surprising guess. Only in this way could it explain why Yuan Rui's newly awakened ability could force him to such a point of all-out confrontation.

This flame is absorbing the mental power of his mental shield!

In this way, they replenished their losses, but the replenishment was ultimately not as much as the losses, so they completely stopped moving.

In this case, the flame will be very terrifying. It may not be so serious for those who have mental defense or are not good at mental power, but when dealing with opponents who are equally strong in mental attack, the flame will be overwhelming.

Yuan Rui cannot use the spiritual power of others to enhance her own strength skillfully now. When she can replenish the spiritual power for her soul flame, won't the fire continue to burn?

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, the winner will soon be decided.

However, Zhang Mu still did not show any sign of weakness. In order to maintain his image, a man's face was still very important. He pretended to think about it, met Yuan Rui's expectant eyes and said, "Your ability is already very strong. If you use it with practice, it will be an extremely powerful trump card."

"Really? That's great! This way I can fight monsters with you, uncle!"

Yuan Rui jumped for joy. Although she was simple-minded, she always remembered the hardship of being isolated and helpless in the story Zhang Mu had described to her before. Even though Zhang Mu would never blame her, she still felt guilty for not providing any help to Zhang Mu and sometimes even had to distract herself to take care of her safety.

Zhang Mu naturally knew what the little girl was thinking. He laughed and said, trying to make Yuan Rui feel more relaxed, "Yes, and your ability is much better than mine. I will definitely cling to you from now on!"

Yesterday was the day Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui truly confirmed their relationship. They are now in a state of passionate love. They think everything about each other is the best and only have each other in their eyes.

However, at this moment, a strong spiritual force swept through the entire camp, naturally affecting Zhang Mu and others.

We.

Both of them were second-level spiritual masters, extremely sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual power, not to mention such a huge momentum. They both looked in the direction where the spiritual power was attacking.

Zhang Mu quickly discerned that this mental power had no malicious intent and was simply spreading out indiscriminately. This level of mental fluctuation could only have been emitted unintentionally by Long Er when he was advancing.

"It's the woman in black veil that I mentioned before. I gave her the soul crystal I got in that small town last time in exchange for all their beast cores this time. She should have been promoted successfully now." Zhang Mu frowned slightly. Logically speaking, the awakening direction of this woman should be the ability of prophecy.

Could the ability to predict cause such a large fluctuation?

Zhang Mu didn't know the answer either. In later generations, he had only heard of Long Er, an evolver with the ability to predict. However, Long Er at that time would not pay any attention to a small figure like Zhang Mu.

"Uncle, do you think we should go over and take a look? What exactly is this mental power? I'm curious if her ability is the same as mine, or stronger than mine?" Yuan Rui looked at Zhang Mu excitedly, waiting for her to make a decision.

Zhang Mu just shook his head and whispered, "There's nothing to see. They must have been promoted successfully. We don't owe them anything now. What we have is just a trading relationship. There's no need to get involved. And you must remember not to inquire about other people's awakening abilities at will in the future, unless they say it themselves, otherwise it will cause others' disgust. Of course, when facing an evolver whose strength is lower than yours and you can't detect him, it's okay for you to use your mental power to spy on him, right?

But if the strength is equal, this behavior is a naked provocation. If he finds out that you are using your mental power to spy on him, it is not impossible that he will fight you to death, because in the end times, awakening ability is the foundation of his survival, do you understand?"

Yuan Rui nodded vigorously in agreement, because when Zhang Mu said that he and the woman in black veil only had a simple business relationship, she was inexplicably a little excited, and she herself didn't know why.

"Now, we just have to wait for the recovery troops to come back. Once we get the beast core, we will return to Luoyang!"
