The attack on his mental power was entirely due to Jiang Cheng's negligence, which caused a very dangerous reaction in his body. However, precisely because he fell into a dangerous situation, Jiang Cheng's spirit became more concentrated, or in other words, it showed the true behavior of a real person when facing difficulties.
At the moment when his mental power was touched by the vines, Jiang Cheng had no time to even have a thought, and instinctively quickly pulled out his mental power from the wormhole of consciousness. Just like the first vine force before, these two vine forces pursued like wild beasts seeing blood until they reached Jiangcheng's own consciousness space.
With the three spiritual forces returning to their original positions, Jiang Cheng seemed to have taken a tonic, and his already declining spirit revived again. The current situation is different from before. Jiang Cheng no longer needs to expend energy to control four spiritual forces at the same time. He only needs to resist the three vine forces in his consciousness space and another spiritual force that has not been recovered. The difficulty has been reduced. A lot.
On the other hand, Jiang Cheng's mental power itself has the attributes of the Qiming Star, and the entire consciousness space exudes a faint clear light, which weakens the power of the vines. Under the circumstances, Jiangcheng has come back from the edge of crisis.
Of course, this does not mean that Jiang Cheng can sit back and relax. Although Qiming Star has given a hint, it has not yet been activated. Three vine forces were raging in the space of consciousness. He could only defend passively at this time and had no ability to fight back.
However, after understanding the reminder from Qiming Star, Jiang Cheng also knew that as long as the last vine power was attracted into his consciousness space, Qiming Star would help him launch a counterattack and completely eliminate it.
Hope was right in front of him. Jiang Cheng was not at all confused in his heart and mobilized his last bit of mental power to evacuate to his consciousness space.
And when his mental power was about to leave the wormhole of consciousness, he suddenly discovered that the last vine force did not chase after him, but slowly shrank, as if it was about to lurk again.
If the last vine power does not appear, the Qiming Star will not be activated, and Jiangcheng will face the entanglement of the three vine powers alone until the defense is breached and falls into an irreversible situation.
Jiang Cheng would never allow this to happen. He formed a clear light barrier in his consciousness space, barely resisting the raging power of the vines. The power of the three vines gathered together, like the legendary three-headed giant snakes, fiercely hitting the clear light barrier. With every impact, the entire space of consciousness shook as if the sky was falling apart, and cracks also appeared on the clear light barrier. As the impact intensifies, the cracks are becoming more numerous and clearer.
It is not difficult to see that it is only a matter of time before the clear light barrier is breached.
While barely resisting the impact of the vine power, Jiang Cheng drove the last of his mental power back to the wormhole of consciousness and chased the shrinking vine power again.
That force must be induced to pursue it and meet the conditions for the activation of Qiming Star. This is Jiang Cheng's only way to survive.
As the mental power came closer, the vine power seemed to be attracted again and stopped shrinking. Like a poisonous snake hunting, the vines just paused for a moment, and then suddenly shot out towards the spiritual power in the next second. At this time, Jiang Cheng only had to fight on two fronts, which was much easier than before. Under his control, this spiritual power deftly avoided the fatal blow of the vines and retreated towards the wormhole. The vine seemed unwilling to give up and pursued the spiritual power. But after several consecutive failed attacks, it seemed to have lost interest and turned into a state of contraction.
"What!" Jiang Cheng noticed this situation and was immediately surprised.
The performance of this last vine power was completely different from the previous one, and this time the attempt ended in failure again.
While he was surprised, Jiang Cheng's consciousness space was already in danger. Under the fierce attack of the vines, the clear light barrier had been shattered, and the whole thing looked as if it was pieced together from fragments. Jiang Cheng could already predict that as long as it withstood three more impacts from the vines, the clear light barrier would immediately be shattered and annihilated, and the consciousness space would be in a state of being unable to defend itself.
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and thought while thinking, "It was much easier to lure the vines three times before than this time. Why is this last vine so cunning and unwilling to take the bait?"
The vines began their third to last impact.
"boom!"
The entire consciousness space was turbulent as if struck by lightning, and the clear light barrier could no longer completely resist it. The aftermath of the impact was transmitted to Jiangcheng's spiritual essence. The familiar pain and negative emotions struck again. Jiang Cheng, who was already weak, almost lost consciousness in the aftermath of the impact.
However, in this familiar pain, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of the key to the problem!
"Painful! Yes, that's it! That's what the voice prompts, actually! Indeed! This process is much more difficult and dangerous than I expected!"
Jiang Cheng perked up and used his mental power for the third time to chase after the last vine power.
As before, as the spiritual power approached, the vines were attracted and launched an attack. But the difference is that Jiang Cheng was not able to completely avoid it this time, and in the end the spiritual power was still touched by the vines.
At the same time, the vines in the consciousness space also launched a second impact!
With double the pain, Jiang Cheng's soul and thinking came to a brief stagnation.
Even if this stagnation occurs for a very short time, it is not something Jiang Cheng wants to see. Because this means that at that moment, he will be in a completely undefended situation, and the power of the vines can take advantage of it.
The moment he regained consciousness, Jiang Cheng immediately realized this and quickly checked the consciousness space. He unexpectedly discovered that although the clear light barrier was broken, it still existed. And the last force of spiritual power has almost escaped from the wormhole of consciousness, but the vine force behind is still chasing after him. The situation was not as pessimistic as I expected, it was even as if no accident had happened at all.
Someone took control of all this on my behalf at the moment when my consciousness stagnated!
Jiang Cheng understood that it couldn't be someone else who could do this.
"I can only help you so far!"
As Jiang Cheng expected, the voice appeared. However, this time, the voice became a little ethereal, and there was a hint of weakness in his tone.
"I'm going to sleep until that time comes. Until then, everything is up to you!"
The voice disappeared without waiting for Jiang Cheng's response, without even an echo being produced.
In the critical situation, Jiang Cheng had no time to thank the other party. Instead, he continued to maintain the clear light barrier while controlling his mental power to escape from the wormhole of consciousness.
At this time, the vine in the consciousness space also began its final impact.
