There were people with sharp ears and eyes around. Although the captain's voice was not loud, many people still heard it.
"Old Song, what are you talking about? Soul power is not constant. There is no such thing as too much or too little."
"Yeah, don't bother the chief instructor just for a little illusion."
"Your kid is also stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth level. He can't absorb much soul power. It feels like something is wrong. It's normal."
The team members next to him gave advice again and again.
Soul power has existed since the outbreak of the apocalypse, and after more than a year, it has become deeply engraved in the hearts of every awakened person.
Just like water flowing downwards, cultivation can make you stronger... This is an inherent rule.
To say that the soul power has become less, it is better to say that the sun has been eaten!
The squad leader became anxious, "I'm not, I'm not talking nonsense!"
He didn't dare to pause and said quickly, "Chief instructor, this is what happened."
"When this desert first appeared, I was one of the team members who investigated the conditions of the desert. Although I did not encounter the extraordinary-level ground-digging sandworm at that time, I also killed a few ordinary ground-digging sandworms."
"Later, several of the missions I performed took place in this desert. I remember clearly how much soul power I could absorb by killing different levels of ground-burrowing sandworms at close range.
In the past few times, the amount of soul power absorbed was not bad. This time, it was just a slight fluctuation, but I feel that the amount absorbed was nearly 20% less than the previous times. "
20%, which is said to be a very obvious gap.
However, the members of the Exploration Corps have a high level of awakening, which is quite different from the alien beasts. After each kill, the soul power absorbed is not much. When they reach the advanced level of awakening, the improvement in strength is more. Relying on the cultivation method, the effect of refining soul power is no longer as obvious as that of the middle and low levels.
What's more important is that they kill more than one alien beast and demonized beast each time. Facing these fourth-, fifth-, and sixth- and seventh-level enemies, which member of the exploration team is not unparalleled all the way
Except for obsessive-compulsive disorder, who can clearly calculate the soul power absorbed each time during a battle.
The others were lost in thought, silently recalling the previous battles, comparing the soul power absorbed and the number of strange beasts they killed, and then realized... that they had not remembered any of this at all.
…
Green shade, lord's castle.
Tang Yu held the earthy yellow bead with two fingers.
In the perception, this bead emits a strong earth-yellow light, and even causes the surrounding earth elements to gather. After a while, the concentration of earth element source gas in the hall is obviously higher than the concentration of other elements.
"It's a treasure."
Of course Luo Zhe could see it, but he couldn't figure out the origin of this bead.
Tang Yu held his chin with one hand, and the data stream flashed across his eyes, which lasted for nearly half a minute before slowly fading away.
There was a hint of surprise.
"It turns out to be the embodiment of the fragments of the law."
"Fragments of law?"
"That desert is originally in a space interlayer. When that space and the earth are truly integrated, it may cause subtle fluctuations in laws."
"Of course," Tang Yu said with a smile, "it is a very weak fluctuation and will have almost no impact on the outside world. On the contrary, because of the intersection of laws, it is possible to form treasures such as 'law fragments', but the probability is very low."
"It's a pity that the power of law contained in it is too weak, not even a trace."
Not to mention that he is not good at the earth element, the laws contained in the glazed flame brand in his mind are thousands of times more powerful than this earth element bead.
There is no denying the value of earth-type beads, but his vision is high.
Tang Yu threw the earth-yellow ball back with a swish, "If you don't want it, just put it in the corps' treasure house and put a price on it to give those with earth ability the motivation to move forward."
This Earth Bead Throwing Corps treasure house is enough to become one of the top three most valuable treasures.
In any case, it was impossible to gain enlightenment, so Luo Zhe decided to put a high price on his return.
He immediately spoke about the abnormal situation of soul power.
Tang Yu pondered for a moment, then reached out and tapped a few times on his tactical watch.
moment,
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Lan Qingya and several middle and high-level officials from the Intelligence Department arrived.
They are all in charge of the green areas.
"Have there been any abnormalities in the city recently? Especially regarding soul power."
Lan Qingya frowned and thought for a while, "There are no special circumstances in the city recently. Wait, there seems to be some rumors in the bar that someone is complaining that the recently killed demonized beasts have less escaping soul power."
Not many people believed this. Lan Qingya didn't pay attention to it at first. At this moment when the city lord summoned her, she realized that the problem was unusual. The information she had browsed over the past few days passed through her mind one by one.
Another senior intelligence officer also suddenly remembered at this time, "I went to Yangcheng a few days ago and killed some demonized beasts along the way. The soul power absorbed at that time seemed to be a little less, but I thought it was an illusion. "
Several people looked at each other in confusion, and based on various clues, the fact that the soul power has faded is most likely true.
Everyone knows the seriousness of this.
"Pay close attention to this matter and report at any time."
Over the next few days, information arrived on his desk every day.
The intelligence department even cooperated with the exploration corps to measure the decay of soul power in detail.
On the first day, the decline was one to two percent.
The next day, it had faded by 20 to 30%.
On the third day, 30% to 50%...
In less than five days, the phenomenon of soul power fading has become very obvious. Even the awakened people who have not been out during this period have learned about it.
Everyone was talking with fear!
Soul power is equivalent to the experience of upgrading. After enjoying the rapid upgrade method of refining soul power, when the escaped soul power drops by 70%, 80%, or 90%, it also means that their strength improvement speed has slowed down several times!
In troubled times, without strength, you cannot control your own destiny.
The atmosphere in Green City has been somewhat depressing for several days.
This is still the safest green shade on the entire earth. Information from all over the world made it clear to Tang Yu that the loss of soul power was global, and many large shelters were even more confused because of this.
Until the eighth day, the soul power completely faded away, and after killing the demonized beasts and alien beasts, no more soul power escaped. Human beings lost the means to quickly improve their strength.
People are panicked!
Especially those who are low-level awakened, especially teenagers who have just awakened and think they can reach the pinnacle of life.
Officials from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs immediately guided the awakened people through newspapers, online forums, etc., and put forward the slogan "In the era of cultivation, everyone can be like a dragon", clarifying the importance of cultivation methods, and that the dissipation of soul power will have little impact.
For experts, it really doesn't have much impact.
After awakening to a high level, cultivation is the main means to improve strength. When you reach the extraordinary level, you have no soul power.
In Green City, there is an extreme martial arts gym and an adventurer's guild. It is not difficult to obtain a cultivation method... With a clear path to improvement, the low-level awakened people were depressed for a while and then recovered.
On the contrary, the registered students of the Extreme Martial Arts Gym have reached their peak.
There was some chaos in gathering places and shelters around the world, and many conflicts broke out. Among the many pieces of information, Tang Yu discovered an interesting situation.
In a shelter with an "Ultimate Dojo" stationed there, the level of chaos will always be lower. Many low-level awakened people who originally only believed in "killing monsters and upgrading" turn to the "Ultimate Dojo" as the only life-saving straw in despair. , and soon joined the training in the martial arts hall, and a large number of people who caused trouble and conflicts were eliminated.
