Luo Kai did not participate in the battle. Instead, he focused on searching for any abnormalities. Regardless of whether it was the dark creatures or other life forms, any of their methods were a form of energy transmission. Perhaps it could not be detected by human detection methods, but there would definitely be traces left behind.
The battle had come to an end. Apart from a few mummies that clearly possessed intelligence, the rest were all killed.
The few physique masters who had chased to the edge of the valley stopped in their tracks. One of them, a skinny old man, muttered, "A few of them escaped. It's not a good time to go out now. We'll wait until dawn to find them and kill them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end. A man with a blade on his left suddenly turned around and slashed at him. The situation was too sudden, and he could not dodge in time. He could only raise his weapon to block.
Clang!
The two of them took a big step back at the same time. The man who attacked him had a dull expression on his face. There was a layer of black mist in his eyes, as if he had lost his mind. He slashed at him again.
"Ah!"
"Be careful, someone is being controlled by a strange creature!"
"Damn it, how dare you slash me!"
This situation quickly spread through the crowd. The people around them suddenly attacked their own people, and the scene instantly became chaotic. Among them, one of the physical trainers had also lost his mind. The crowd no longer dared to gather together. They scattered and fought in all directions.
This kind of strange attack was too scary. It would be understandable if the dead were controlled by the dark creatures, but it was a living person who had suddenly become a puppet. People panicked. They were afraid that their teammates would attack them. Only the three high-level physique masters remained calm. They were all using their psychic power to search for any abnormalities.
Lin Xiaolei and the other two were very smart. They hid behind the old man and attacked with their long-range weapons. The cylinder guns in their hands were not ordinary. They did not shoot bullets, but long silver needles. They fired silently, and only faint silver threads could be seen. When the needles hit the target, they would explode with a bright white light. When the light dissipated, they would become charred corpses.
Luo Kai's glabella flickered with silvery light. Gradually, he became aware of the thing that was attacking them. It was a kind of lifeform that existed between reality and illusion. Similar to the Blade of Severance, it could travel between the positive and negative space. When it was in the void, it was completely untraceable. Or it could be said that it had escaped into the other side of space, only revealing itself slightly when it launched an attack.
He reached out and touched the space between his eyebrows. A silver-white long needle appeared on his fingertip. The long needle hummed softly and disappeared.
Just like the two sides of a mirror, what humans saw was a reflection of the space on the front side, and the space on the back side was like the back side of the mirror. Unless the mirror was broken or someone went around, they would never know what was on the other side.
Only the Severing Blade, which also had the power of space, could travel through the Negative Space and see them. Through the feedback of the Severing Blade, images appeared in his mind. It was a mass of black fog.
It was wandering in the crowd, looking for a target. Soon, it found its target. It went into the mouth and nose of a man who was holding a long spear. The man's body froze. After a while, his expression became dull. He waved his spear and attacked his companions beside him.
Luo Kai slowly pulled out the white bone long blade on his back. He walked over and slashed at the black fog. He frowned. This thing did not have a physical form, so physical attacks would not work. With a thought, the long blade flashed with a green light, and he continued to attack.
The people around him only saw Luo Kai waving his blade in the air. They were all confused. Lin Xiaolei was surprised. "What is he doing? Is he crazy too?"
The old man seemed to understand something. He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the trajectory of Luo Kai's blade.
The speed at which the black fog killed people was too fast. In just a short while, there were not many people who were below the level of Physique Masters left alive. Only a few Physique Masters were still alive. One by one, they raised their energy shields and gathered together. However, the energy shields could not stop the black fog from penetrating. Not long after, another Physique Master was controlled. A Physique Master and a Physique Warrior were two completely different concepts. After being controlled, even if they lost their original combat skills, the pure strength and speed that they could display were extraordinary. The three high-level Physique Masters had no choice but to give up on scouting and join in the battle.
At their level, they naturally would not be merciful. They did not care whether those who were controlled could recover or not. They directly used their strongest attack. The one with the most shocking momentum was the giant master. When he waved the short sword in his hand, he could cause a large number of cyclones to gather. His whole person was like a tornado, slaughtering all the controlled humans with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
In comparison, the methods of the other two were somewhat unremarkable. The physical master in silver armor took out a belt like soft sword from his waist. He shuttled through the crowd like smoke, and the soft sword fluttered in the air. One after another, heads fell to the ground.
The old man did not use a weapon. He trembled like an old man in his twilight years. The power of his skinny fists was shocking. No matter who it was, they could pierce through with one hit.
Soon, the shelter, which originally had hundreds of people, was reduced to a single digit number.
Luo Kai was still frowning and waving his blade from time to time. This strange life form was quite similar to the shapeless nightmare. It was almost immune to physical attacks and had a strong resistance to energy attacks. It also had a certain level of intelligence. When it was discovered, it immediately changed its way of existence and completely escaped into the negative space. Even with the feedback of the Severing Blade, it was difficult to find its trace.
Only by understanding the enemy could he find a way to deal with it. He tried to communicate with the AI in his body to scan it. The AI's scanning method also relied on the feedback of his consciousness to link to the database. Soon, the AI's mechanical voice sounded, "Elemental Devouring Viper, a mechanical life form, made of antimatter."
Strictly speaking, both the Black Iron Puppet and the Golden Puppet were just machines. They could not be called living beings. However, this Elemental Devouring Viper was a mechanical life form, and it was made of the most mysterious antimatter.
Currently, humans knew very little about antimatter. They only knew that when matter and antimatter met, it would cause the matter to annihilate and release a huge amount of energy. They did not know the specific survival mechanism of this mechanical life form, but it was definitely terrifying because antimatter had the highest efficiency of energy utilization among all known substances.
"My young friend, did you find something strange?"
The old man's words interrupted his thoughts. He stopped waving his sword and looked at the corpses on the ground. There were only seven or eight people left in the valley, and they were all looking at him in confusion. The Elemental Devouring Viper had been scared away by him. This kind of life form could travel in the negative space, and it was impossible to track it. He waved his hand slightly, and a dazzling silver needle appeared in the void and retracted back into his palm.
The old man was very knowledgeable, and he vaguely knew what the silver needle was. He could not help but ask, "Is this … is this a kind of space treasure? Is it the alien that attacked us with the power of space?"
Luo Kai thought for a while and nodded, "That's right. You can understand it as a kind of life form that exists between reality and illusion, just like the two sides of a mirror. We can only see the reflection of the mirror, but we can't see what's inside."
Other than the three high-level physique masters who were deep in thought, the others were a little confused. Time and space were the most mysterious of the six major forces that built the world. They had the ability to overturn the laws of physics. Any life form that had mastered this kind of power would have strength that was far beyond their own level.
The way they looked at Luo Kai became a little strange. They could not tell the specific level of this young guy, but he actually had a space treasure!
The three high-level physique masters could not help but feel strange. The power of time and space could only be grasped by those who had surpassed the limits of their own life and reached the Saint level. Although they had some understanding of it now, they were far from being able to grasp it. If they had a space treasure like this, would they be able to understand the power of time and space on a deeper level?
