Xiao Ming rushed to the entrance building, turned around and kicked the lock of the gate with a whip kick, and the metal gate fell down at once, blocking the venomous rat man from the outside.

And that's thanks to the habits of the people of the Golden Empire. They often get some extremely primitive equipment in some high-tech places, like this metal gate is the same, it is completely a big iron lump weighing more than 100,000 catties, once the fixed lock is opened, the metal gate falls, then the entire entrance building becomes a completely closed environment.

A few venomous ratmen who rushed too fast had just rushed halfway through the entrance when they were crushed by the falling gate, writhing and screaming in pain. With a flick of Xiao Ming's hand, several dark flames spilled down, and in the blink of an eye, he burned these poisonous tooth rat people.

After scanning left and right, and finding that it was temporarily safe, Xiao Ming had time to gasp, only to feel a weakness all over his body, and just wanted to lie down and sleep like this, but he also knew that it was impossible, so he cheered up.

"Xiao Ming, what was your trick just now?" Right now, he doesn't have the ability to resist so many mad fangs.

Xiao Ming then remembered that he had actually used the Shadow Shatter Step and the Cloud Control Wind at the same time just now. Usually he would constantly switch between the two, but when he used one, he couldn't use the other, but just now he was so bent on rushing into the mouth that he didn't think about it that much, and instead inadvertently combined the two.

&Breakthrough?" Xiao Ming thought, touching his chin.

"Hey, I'm asking you!" Sansan patted Xiao Ming's head dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Ming said speechlessly: "I also used it when I broke through at a critical moment." You ask me, I don't understand it now. Shadow Shatter Step and Cloud Riding Wind you know, it's just a combination of the two!"

Sansan looked at Xiao Ming with an unaware face, in fact, although Bassam was very interested in Gu Wu, but San San was not interested in Gu Wu at all before, but now because of Xiao Ming's relationship, he began to be slowly interested, but he could only not understand. The fat cat wondered if he would go to Bassam's research materials for many years when he was out of the ruins.

>> Why are all those dead rats crazy? That doesn't make sense!" Sansan jumped to the ground, his hind legs on the ground, his two chubby front paws behind his back, pacing back and forth like a human.

"I know!" Xiao Ming spread his hands, indicating that he didn't understand either.

Sansan held his fat chin with his front paws and thought, "I don't think my estimate should be wrong, that suicide cyborg must have attached something to you, which is why those crazy venomous rat people have been targeting you." But you have a dark fire, and no matter how much ordinary things are attached to, they will be burned by the dark fire. However, there is one thing that your undead fire can't burn, and that is spiritual power. So I guess it's the cyborg beast that is attached to it, and it should be something in terms of spiritual power!"

Xiao Ming slapped his forehead, but he also understood, and said with a smile: "Sansan, you are really amazing!"

>> Of course!" Sansan laughed proudly, shaking his fat flesh.

>> Help me look at it, I'll check it!" Xiao Ming sat down cross-legged and sank his mind into the spirit world.

Entering the soul world, Xiao Ming saw the number displayed on the big plate at first glance, and at first glance, he wanted to cry without tears, and more than 40,000 soul energy was consumed to just over 2,000. Thinking that his savings in the past three months had been lost in half an hour, Xiao Ming just scolded the street.

But this is also something that can't be helped, after comforting himself twice, Xiao Ming began to check his soul world.

Cultivating the Soul Sutra made Xiao Ming's understanding of his soul abnormal, and the changes at any time were clear, and at this time, he calmed down and examined the soul, and soon discovered the problem, the periphery of his entire soul world was actually covered with a layer of misty red. This layer of red is very light, almost invisible in the bronze light emitted from time to time by the large plate, if it weren't for Xiao Ming's very understanding of his soul world and his intention to find it, it is likely that he would not be able to find this layer of red at all.

After discovering the target, Xiao Ming immediately took action. However, this layer of red is unexpectedly difficult. He first used the Soul Devouring Technique, but it didn't work, this layer of red was tightly attached to the outside of his soul world, and it couldn't be separated for a while, Xiao Ming's Soul Devouring Technique didn't work on his soul, so there was no way.

Then I tried the soul melting trick again, and it turned out that this layer of red meng was actually counted by the soul sutra as an intermediate higher than the soul of the spirit and lower than the soul of the human. With Xiao Ming's current soul melting technique of the Soul Realm of Things, there is no way to take it at all.

Xiao Ming used several small spells in the Soul Sutra, but none of them worked, and he became unable to get up for a while. He looked at the big plate and finally decided not to ask for it. Every time this guy does himself a favor, he will make a hand, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will be hit. And if everything is done by this big plate, then I will never improve.

Xiao Ming knew very well that if his cultivation pace stagnated, then he would be devoured by the big plate. Therefore, he was always considering his cultivation progress.

Since you can't get this layer of red light now, let's wait and talk. Since this layer of red meng is counted as the level between the soul of the spirit and the soul of the human by the big plate, then as long as he has the soul melting trick to the soul of the soul, he should have a way to deal with it. Although the Soul Melting Technique seems to be far from the Spirit Soul Realm now, it is the only way to do it until there is no other better way.

After retreating from the spirit world, Xiao Ming found that Sansan, the cat, was lying on his stomach, sniffing something.

>>

& I smell a terrible smell on you, and it irritates me. But it's a strange smell, it seems like it's not just the smell! I guess that's what the suicidal guy got on you. Sansan said as he sniffed.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "That suicidal guy made a layer of disgusting things on top of my spiritual core, I think that's the source of the smell, not a real smell, but a kind of spiritual power." That's why those venomous rat people suddenly went berserk!"

Psychic beings also have their own spirit worlds, but they all call them spiritual cores. Only Xiao Ming was influenced by the Soul Sutra and called the spiritual core the soul world.

Listen to the rats outside, they are still digging holes, and I don't think this metal door can stop them for too long!" "Under normal circumstances, the poisonous tooth rat people naturally don't dig the metal barrier between the third and fourth layers, but now they are all affected by the spiritual power emitted by the red membrane, and they are completely crazy, so they will naturally make holes regardless of it, in this case, sooner or later this barrier will be broken through."

"There's a way, try it first!" Xiao Ming said, closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, his whole person's aura changed.

Sansan looked at Xiao Ming with wide eyes: "Huh, why are you? The smell is gone, and how do I feel as if you are a different person?"

& A little trick, but when you can't last too long, the main thing is to see if it works!" Xiao Ming said, looking at the metal gate with Sansan. Sure enough, after Xiao Ming's entire aura changed, the frantic digging sound outside the gate stopped, and it seemed that those poisonous toothed rat people had given up digging. But they didn't leave, but crowded at the gate.

> It's useful, but how long can you use it?"

&It's going to be too long, this method is quite consuming my mental power!" Xiao Ming smiled bitterly.

The method used by Xiao Ming is very simple to say. Among his ancient martial arts, there is a defensive ancient martial arts, called the Heavenly Spirit Clothing, which is a kind of energy that distributes energy to the exterior of the body to form a clothing-like storage zài, thus playing a role in resisting damage.

He is now using the Heavenly Spirit Clothes to cover his soul world with another layer of spiritual power, which is equivalent to shielding his soul world. That's why the special spiritual power of the red film is temporarily hidden.

But just like the Heavenly Spirit Clothes are high-consumption ancient martial arts, this method that Xiao Ming came up with temporarily has a huge consumption of spiritual power. If he didn't use the soul energy stored on a large plate and supported it with his own spiritual power, Xiao Ming could hold on for about an hour. (Psychic power is not the same as psychic energy.) Soul energy is more primitive than spiritual power, it is Xiao Ming's ability, the total energy of Gu Wu. Xiao Ming uses his ability to convert his soul energy into spiritual power, and he uses Gu Wu to convert his soul energy into true qi. But because these two energies are converted through soul energy, Xiao Ming generally calculates his energy in terms of soul energy. ）。

>> Let's hurry up and go to the lower levels, I have a feeling that as long as we get to the core, there must be a way to solve this problem! And I'm sure as long as you stay away from these crazy people, it will do some good. Sansan jumped on Xiao Ming's shoulder again.

Xiao Ming also felt that what Sansan said was reasonable, so he didn't delay at the moment, and began to go down the floor along the passage.

The passage between the third and fourth floors is no longer the same as the previous floors, it may be from the fourth floor, it is already the aristocratic district of the Golden Empire, so in order to distinguish it, the passage between the third and fourth floors is something similar to an elevator.

Because it uses photonic technology, even though thousands of years have passed, the elevator can still be used. And because it is not something that needs to be in standby like a machine, the elevator can be completely shut down without fear of consuming all the energy after using it, and it can be used many times.

That's why red-eyed rats can't get to the fourth floor, and these guys won't use the elevator.

Through the elevator, Xiao Ming and Sansan went down to the fourth floor, and when they were on the fourth floor, Xiao Ming first withdrew the spiritual power wrapped in the soul world, as long as this ability is useful, then when the red-eyed mouse reappears, it can be used, there is no need to maintain it all the time, this is quite a consumption of soul energy.

If the first floor is a civilian area, then the third floor is a luxury community, and on the fourth floor, it is already a villa area. The area is not smaller than the third floor, but at a glance, there are not many buildings, but each one covers a huge area, and the style is luxurious and rich.

However, to Xiao Ming's surprise, he walked all over the fourth floor, and he didn't encounter a single person. No, it's not that I haven't encountered it, but I haven't woken up when I met these machines, it's like they're completely broken, but Xiao Ming has carefully observed that these machines are completely normal, because they are more advanced than the machines on the upper floors, so over the years, their aging range is very low, and they have a lot of energy reserves, and they can fully exert their full combat ability, but these machines just don't start at all, just like Xiao Ming is completely transparent.

&What's going on?" Xiao Ming was puzzled.
