Starting from the spirit cage and crossing the heavens

"Yes, there is a fully charged high-energy battery at a supply point in the center of the gathering area."

"Huh~ That's good." Zhang Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the system says there are still high-energy batteries, there is no need to hike through the Gobi desert. This is undoubtedly good news.

"We can put aside the battery issue first, and then it's time to hunt. Let's get to LV5 first."

With the Akiba knife in hand, Zhang Mo took out the sharp eye potion and acceleration potion from the system warehouse and put them in his pocket so that he could drink them at the critical moment.

"Let's use the old method, think of something happy, let your life source emit an alluring fragrance, and attract those spinegu."

Relatively deeper into the gathering area, Zhang Mo came to a relatively empty place and began to use his own methods to attract those spine Gu.

After just a short while, the spine Gu wandering around sensed the fragrant breath of life essence through the tentacles on its head.

Dozens of spine Gu searched for the fragrant scent and rushed towards Zhang Mo from all directions.

"Good guy, there are so many of them exploded, almost 20 of them. Calm down your emotions quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble if you attract more."

Holding the Qiuye knife, Zhang Mo rushed towards the nearest spine Gu. At LV3, his strength, speed, and reaction had all increased a lot.

Back when Zhang Mo was still at LV1, he killed five spine Gu easily.

Although the number has tripled this time, Zhang Mo is still able to cope with it due to his speed advantage.

Seeing the humans rushing towards him, Spinal Gu was not willing to be outdone and pounced on Zhang Mo.

When Zhang Mo saw this, he sneered, waved his Qiuye knife, and rushed towards the next one without even looking at the spine Gu.

Chi~

A soft sound.

The spine Gu that rushed towards Zhang Mo was cut in half as easily as a knife cutting tofu in mid-air.

The corpse fell silently to the sand, and a smelly black smoke burned out from where it was struck by the blade.

The enhancement of mental power allows Zhang Mo to respond to incoming attacks in a slow-motion manner in his eyes.

Then the brain reacts quickly to counterattack the enemy.

"Based on experience, after killing this wave of spine Gu, your level will be raised to LV5."

Thinking of this, his mood couldn't help but become more joyful.

But this also made Zhang Mo's life essence emit a richer smell, which deeply stimulated the spine Gu and made them become more ferocious.

"Wo Ri, this is to make me a killer who has no feelings."

With an upward strike, Zhang Mo directly flew away three roaring spinegu.

The blades cut through their bodies, and the scorching flames burned them.

But the three spine Gu did not die immediately. Seeing this, Zhang Mo quickly swung three swords and split them in half.

"I almost forgot that spinal cords don't feel pain. The burning effect of flames doesn't seem to be great. Unless they can be burned to ashes instantly, their trunks must be destroyed to kill them completely."

Zhang Mo said this, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

"That's not right. Why did the two spine Gus scream like this after they were hit by my own Ghost Slash yesterday? Could it be that the corrosive ability of Ghost Slash's dark attribute attack can cause huge damage to the Devouring Beast?

Or is it that the corrosive power of darkness will corrode the life essence in their bodies?"

Zhang Mo analyzed it carefully and felt that it was very possible.

"You will know if you try it. If this is the case, then dark attribute attacks are a great weapon against the Devouring Beast."

In the anime, the Hunters have killed many Devouring Beasts, but not long after, those Devouring Beasts will be resurrected with full health.

That's because the Mana ecology will provide them with the source of life, allowing them to resurrect from death.

Unless the souls in their bodies can be destroyed, those pole-devouring beasts will continue to resurrect.

If dark attribute attacks really erode the life essence in the body of the Devouring Beast, then it will undoubtedly be much easier for him to deal with the Devouring Beast.

In order to test this idea, Zhang Mo decided to conduct an experiment using the spinal cords in front of him.

Ghost Slash - Summons ghosts and gods to the weapon and applies dark attribute attacks to the enemy.

Summoning the ghosts and gods to the Akiha sword, the originally red blade began to emit traces of black energy.

Facing the spine Gu that rushed towards them again, Zhang Mo did not choose to cut them in half this time. Instead, he used the blade to cut a hole in their bodies and then injected dark energy into it.

Hiss~ss~

There were screams one after another, and the spinegu that had been injected with dark energy immediately stopped attacking Zhang Mo.

Instead, they continued to roll and struggle on the ground, and the dark energy continued to rage in their bodies, causing the spine Gu, which was originally painless, to endure unbearable severe pain.

Zhang Mo looked at Spin Gu's expression of agony and was filled with surprises. His previous guess might be right.

The corrosive attribute of darkness will indeed cause huge damage to the pole-devouring beasts and corrode the life essence in their bodies.

"What an unexpected surprise. With this discovery, it will be much easier to deal with the Devouring Beast in the future."

The screams continued, but Zhang Mo injected dark energy into the remaining spine Gu during this time and continued different experiments.

"The more dark energy is injected, the faster the erosion will be, and the shorter they will last."

When all the spinal Gu died in painful struggle, Zhang Mo came to this conclusion.

"When facing monsters of the size of the Metamorphic Polar Devourer, a small amount of dark magic power shouldn't have much of an impact on them in the short term, and they might even be able to continue attacking, so that would be meaningless.

But after injecting too much, although the erosion speed has accelerated, the magic power I currently possess is too little, so it is not worth it. The magic power will probably be bottomed out after a few or two injections.

If you have the time to inject dark magic into the bodies of the Devouring Beasts and wait for them to slowly die, it would be better to destroy the souls in their bodies with a knife, saving both time and magic."

Zhang Mo guessed this, and suddenly felt that the method he discovered didn't seem to be particularly useful.

"Hey, let's consider it as a means. If I encounter a thick-skinned and thick-skinned pole beast that I can't kill, I can inject dark magic into it and erode it completely."

No longer thinking about this, Zhang Mo looked at the dead spine Gu, and the corner of his mouth curled up with joy. He was about to add two powerful skills. He was so happy.

"System, help me upgrade to LV5."

"Sorry, host, the biological energy absorbed is only enough to reach LV4."

"What? Why is it only LV4? Nearly twenty spines are enough for me to rise to LV5."

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, his head a little confused. Each spinal Gu added three points of experience. It was impossible for him to calculate such a simple arithmetic problem wrong.

"Host, your dark magic has eroded part of the source of life, so the existing biological energy is only enough to rise to LV4."
