Rick walked to Adam, raised his hands in the air, and Adam floated up from the ground and was moved to the bed. Rick's movements seemed very natural, and he didn't look like he was seriously ill at all.
"You, you have been lying to us." Dan glared at Rick and said, "Your body is not at the point where you can't move, but you pretended to be completely unable to move just to trick us. It's despicable."
"Adan, as a member of the Black Dragon Empire's royal family, this is not the kind of tolerance you should have. If you lose, you lose. As my trophy, you should accept your fate." Emperor Rick said calmly, as if he was educating a junior in the study of the palace. "What's more, you were the first to attack. If I didn't fight back, I would have been ripped open and had my spiritual power devoured by you, right?"
"You! You really heard everything."
"Of course, the ice coffin is a treasure left over from the era of the Seven Saints Pagodas. How could it not respond to external threats?"
"You're stalling for time. Your powers are limited."
"But now I have enough strength."
"You, what do you want to do?" Adam struggled, but his fighting spirit was disturbed by Rick's magic just like Ola's, so the strength of his struggle was nothing compared to the enchanted cloth.
"Your understanding of devouring blood is very incomplete. It can not only devour mental power, but also life energy. In particular, people with the same blood can provide the best and most life energy, which is a magical medicine for healing for us." Rick took out a knife from his space ring, cut a cut on Adam's wrist, and then pressed his hand on the other's wound.

Several people outside saw what happened in the ice coffin.
"He's going to devour my brother," Ola shouted.
"Believe me, your brother won't let him succeed like this. He came here and made so many preparations, he must have imagined the current situation. I think even if he came to devour Rick, it wouldn't be easy to do, right? He must have prepared a way to weaken a holy-level wizard." Luo Ling said.
"How do you know?" Ola saw her brother struggling like a bug caught in a spider web. She couldn't see any possibility of fighting back, but she was powerless now. She could only sit cross-legged and recover her fighting spirit as soon as possible.
"I guessed it, because I think anyone with a brain would prepare like this. And I also know that Rick is really very weak, otherwise he should have dealt with all of us in one go instead of just retreating to the ice coffin." Luo Ling pulled Morey and ran towards the control array of the ice coffin. "Let's go. Morey, Ji Yijun, they are in a stalemate now, and they should not be able to free their hands. Let's go and crack the ice coffin."

A Dan felt very strange now. He felt a suction force coming from the other person's palm, and a stream of energy in his blood began to leave his body and flow into the other person's palm. He sneered in his heart, then urged the remaining fighting spirit to send something hidden in his blood to the wound on his wrist.
Rick greedily absorbed the energy from Adam's blood. His body was already riddled with holes, and the seal of the ice coffin could not heal him. What he was waiting for was today, when a descendant with his own blood could find this place and become the nutrients for him to repair his body.
Adam is a very good nutrient. The life energy contained in the blood of a high-level warrior is very huge, far better than that of a magician of the same level. Rick estimated that after consuming his energy, his body could recover at least 30%. If he then devoured his sister's energy, his injuries would be half healed. He no longer had to worry about his body collapsing because it could not be maintained.
What he was most worried about was that the people outside would escape before he finished devouring Adam. Now that he saw that they were deciphering how to open the ice coffin, he felt relieved. As long as his body could recover to more than 20%, these people outside were just bugs.
Thinking of this, he yawned involuntarily. What was going on? His mental strength was extremely strong, and it was absolutely impossible for him to yawn at this time. Thinking of this, he was shocked and yawned again.
Is it because my body is too tired? Or did I just consume too much mental energy? He bit his lip, forcing himself to wake up, and then used his mental power to scan his body. He found that some strange substances were swallowed from the other party's wrist into his body. It was this kind of thing that made his mind begin to disperse.
He hastily released the hand that was holding Adam's wrist, but it was too late. He began to feel dizzy and unable to concentrate. The power he attached to the cloth to suppress Adam also began to weaken.
"What is this!" Rick held the edge of the bed and sat down on the ground.
The cloth strips that had lost their binding force were even unable to resist Adam's strength. He exerted a little force, and the cloth strips that trapped him broke apart. Adam sat up from the bed, his eyes full of pride, and looked down at Rick: "Soul Loss Potion, this is also a good thing that alchemists invented during the two hundred years you were away. It can make the wizard's mind unable to concentrate and basically unable to release magic. It is used to capture and control guilty wizards. But it has no effect on warriors."
"You actually put poison in your body just to wait for me to take the bait?" Rick asked, panting. Without the stabilizing effect of his mental strength, all kinds of hidden injuries in his body broke out one after another.
"Yes, this was originally just a safeguard when I devoured your power, so that I could be more confident when absorbing your mental power. However, when I saw you wake up and pretend to be extremely weak to lure me to attack you, I was ready to use it to give you a surprise." Adan placed his hands on Rick's temple, "Now it's my turn."
Rick's mental power had collapsed, and he had completely lost the ability to resist. When the strong Adam started to devour his blood, his efficiency was much higher than Rick's before. He just felt that his mental power was leaving him uncontrollably. This process was not painful, but he still howled miserably.
As for Adam, he couldn't use the absorbed spiritual power now, because he still had a lot of soul-losing potion in his body. But he had a strong body as a backing, so he was not in a hurry to become a mage. As long as the power of the potion dissipated, he could slowly sort out the power, and he would become a person with strong spiritual talent.
