In fact, Benjamin had to admit that his ability to freeze the enemy was purely accidental.
From the resurrection of the zombie cow and the rebound of his attack, he could see that what he was really fighting was not the cow in front of him, but the entire ruins. No matter how many times he tears the zombie cow apart, the green light will surge up, resurrect it, and reflect Benjamin's attacks.
Unless he can destroy the entire ruins, it will be in vain even if he kills Lan.
Fortunately, when the explosion occurred, he watched the powerful impact blast away the surrounding green light. At that moment, like an enlightenment, an idea popped into his head.
Zombie cows need these green lights to provide energy, and these green lights also need zombie cows as a carrier to exert unlimited power. In this case, as long as he cuts off the connection between the two, wouldn't all the problems be solved
Of course, he also understood that it was quite difficult to cut off the connection between the zombie cow and the green light.
In this ruins, green light is like air, everywhere, and the two are extremely closely connected. Only when there is a strong impact will there be some fluctuations. But the explosion caused by the ice pile just now gave Benjamin an excellent opportunity.
After the explosion, it was like a vacuum zone was formed nearby, and the green light representing strange energy was temporarily expelled. In order to attack Benjamin, the zombie cow must cross this vacuum zone.
Then, Benjamin's opportunity came.
In those few seconds, he had just experienced the impact of the explosion. His whole body felt like it was falling apart. Severe pain came from his back and chest, and his mouth and nose were filled with a fishy smell. However, his energy has never been as focused as it is now, as if all distracting thoughts have been cleared away, and the only thing echoing in his mind is the approaching hooves of the zombie cow.
Twenty meters... ten meters... five meters...
The vacuum created by the explosion could not last long, and Benjamin could only seize the only opportunity. Once it fails and the zombie cow gets close, no matter how serious the consequences are, it may happen.
Thinking of this, his mood suddenly calmed down.
Chanting a spell, stretching out his right hand, and the ice forming... the whole movement was so smooth that he couldn't even believe it. His water element was inherently exclusive, and he didn't know whether it would be effective against this green light energy, but the conviction that emerged in his heart made him not even question this issue.
-The moment he took action, for some reason, he felt like it was done.
And the facts also verified his idea.
Once the ice layer is used to separate the zombie cow from the outside world, even if the vacuum zone disappears and the weird energy is blocked outside, there is no way to replenish it.
Although the ice layer Benjamin summoned was thin, it was compressed from ice several times larger, and its strength was astonishing. With only some energy in its body, the zombie cow couldn't break free. After a while, it was like a toy car that had lost power. Even its shining green eyes were quietly extinguished at this moment.
Looking at all this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling what he had just done, he felt a little incredible. How could he be so brave? If he hadn't succeeded, he would have been crushed by that thing's hooves, right
At the same time, pain everywhere suddenly emerged, making him almost unable to hold back his calm expression and the same cool posture as Magneto.
"It's okay, it can't move anymore. Come and have a look, this is a rare cow."
After greeting the three mages in mid-air, he quickly used the healing water balloons and threw them at himself one after another, slowly treating the internal and external injuries caused by the explosion.
Seeing this, the three mages in mid-air looked at each other and hesitated to come over. After waiting for a while, probably after seeing that nothing unexpected happened, they gained courage, slowly landed, and approached the frozen zombie cow little by little, with different expressions of surprise on their faces.
In the end, they even surrounded the zombie cow and marveled at it.
"Sir Benjamin... what magic did you use? Why can't it break free?" Tony asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
Obviously, they also tried to use control magic to control the zombie cow, but the results were unsatisfactory, so they fled all the way.
"Nothing, just a little opportunistic trick." At this time, Benjamin had almost healed the injury. He stood up and said, "By the way, can I ask where this monster comes from?"
Such a guy who can carry the power of the entire ruins definitely doesn't just appear casually.
Benjamin wondered if the three people had discovered something or wandered into a special place by mistake, which alerted this thing.
"Ah, this..." Tony said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "It's too dangerous here. Who knows what monsters will pop up. Let's go out first and talk about this kind of thing."
Apparently, they seemed to have some secrets that they didn't want to tell.
Realizing this, Benjamin snorted and said coolly: "Okay, if you can get out."
The three of them frowned, and Tony said, "What do you mean?"
Benjamin shrugged and said, "It's nothing. If you want to go out, you can go out first. I have to stay here for a while, so I won't go out with you."
Suddenly, the three of them showed strange expressions and looked at Benjamin as if they were looking at a fool.
After a moment of silence, Tony exchanged glances with his companions, coughed dryly, and said: "Then... in that case, we'll leave first. You should be careful here, it's best to leave early."
After saying that, the three of them nodded, and regardless of Benjamin's reaction, they rushed towards the entrance of the cave impatiently, like an aunt rushing to get on the bus.
Benjamin watched them rush in with cold eyes and shook his head.
"A bunch of fools." The system couldn't help but come out and mocked happily.
Benjamin didn't bother to care about them, but turned around and walked towards the zombie cow that was sealed in the ice.
He could feel that the green light around him was still trying to break through the ice and restore the connection between the two. However, for some reason, this green light energy seems to be a little afraid of Benjamin's water element. It does not attack the ice like crazy, but erodes at a slow speed.
In order to maintain this ice layer, Benjamin consumed much less mental energy than the Forbidden Demon Water Ball, but he estimated that he could only hold on for three hours.
In other words, after three hours, the green light will break through the ice again, and the zombie cow will escape, regain its immortality, and launch another attack on Benjamin.
It’s not yet time to feel completely reassured.
Time was running out, he had to find a way out of here quickly.
After thinking about it, Benjamin decided to start with this zombie cow. Although this guy looks like a collection of rotten flesh and bones, it must have its own special features as it can become the carrier of the entire ruins and allow the green light to exert various incredible effects.
-Otherwise, the statues moving on the streets should also attack Benjamin under the control of green light.
More importantly, Benjamin felt that he might be able to find a way to leave here.
With this thought in mind, he put his hand on the ice, released his mental power, and began to control the ice that trapped the zombie cow. Under his thoughts, several thin spikes grew on the ice, penetrated the body of the zombie cow, and began to dissect it.
—Benjamin also knew that his dissection must be very unprofessional, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Just like that, after a while, the zombie cow was torn apart by the back and forth strokes of the spikes, turning into countless fragments of flesh and bone. Then, Benjamin endured his nausea and carefully observed the broken pieces.
Unfortunately, after observing for a while, he didn't find anything wrong.
The cow seemed to have no internal organs. Except for a layer of carrion on the outside, all that was left was a huge cow skeleton with nothing inside, not to mention the magic crystal or core that Benjamin expected.
Then... what does it rely on to carry these green lights
Benjamin had no idea, so he had to condense a knife inside the ice and continue to cut apart the pieces of the zombie cow to see if he could find anything.
"I think you can look at its eyes." Suddenly, the system spoke.
Benjamin was very surprised.
The system actually started to speak human language. This is not an easy thing!
Joking aside, the system's words still gave him a lot of inspiration. That's right, every time the zombie cow starts to impact, its eyes will light up with green light. When the energy is exhausted, the green light will disappear, just like the light on Ultraman's chest.
Thinking like this, Benjamin controlled the ice blade, peeled off the two eyeballs through the ice, and made various attempts with it.
He pricked it with acupuncture, cut it with a knife, soaked it in water, steamed it... However, the eyes of the zombie cow were like stainless steel. No matter what he did, there was no change at all. They were as stubborn as two thousand-year-old stones.
Suddenly, Benjamin felt refreshed.
The key to the problem is indeed this thing!
