Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 12 The Power of Gluttony
"The gluttonous power you possess has successfully absorbed a stream of energy. Type: Undead; Quality: Normal."

"You used the offensive energy given by the gluttonous power."

……

A sweet and pleasant voice sounded, echoing in Xin Ziqiu's mind.

Although he inherits the chivalrous spirit of Chinese warriors, he is not a reckless man who only relies on blood.

When he decided to help the grandparents of the Jia family, he already had calculations in his heart.

Once he loses to Ma Ru, his last reliance is the undead spirit sealed in his right arm.

This is the unknown power that Xin Ziqiu obtained when the Gu corpse was eliminated.

Although he was told that as a "prospective practitioner" he could not sacrifice and use it temporarily, but relying on the black pattern of unknown origin on his right arm, which is the so-called "gluttonous power", he seemed to be connected with this spirit.

For no reason, he clearly sensed that as long as he has a thought, this power can be used by him at any time.

The only limitation is that the killing range is limited, and it must be close to the opponent's body.

This was originally his trump card tonight, and Xin Ziqiu didn't want to use it so soon.

He originally thought that with his solid martial arts foundation, he could at least entangle Ma Ru for a while until Jia Xian or Jia Zhiqing came to help.

He originally intended to reserve this necromantic energy for Kang Wenping, who was the most difficult to deal with.

It's a pity that Ma Ru's martial arts are so high that it far exceeds his imagination.

It wasn't until he broke his left arm and was seriously injured that he realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

When encountering a strong enemy, he didn't use his trump card at the first time, but relied on himself, which made him suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, he changed his plan in time, took a palm without hesitation, and used the huge energy released by the spirit of the dead to kill Ma Ru, otherwise he would lose his left arm, and he would die if he continued to fight.

Of course, if he hadn't broken his arm, Ma Ru would have underestimated the enemy, so he might not be able to win in one hit. In life-and-death combat, there are too many uncertain factors.

Alas, he still lacks experience in life and death battles, and thinks too much. If he uses the ultimate move first, even if he can't kill Ma Ru immediately, he probably won't end up in such a mess.

Xin Ziqiu recalled the battle just now, with lingering fears in his heart.

The injuries caused by these mistakes will become valuable battle experience, which will be deeply imprinted in his mind.

As Nietzsche famously said: What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

……

After personally using this power once, Xin Ziqiu finally confirmed the rules of the gluttonous power on his body.

Ordinary would-be practitioners who came to the Whirling World, before passing the test task to be promoted to a practitioner, probably could only absorb the essence, but could not use it.

But he was different, he was brought here by the so-called "gluttonous power" and got extra privileges.

The power of gluttony is hidden in the pattern on his right arm, which can swallow up the absorbed essence at any time according to his wishes, and then feed it back to him, so that he can use some special methods.

For example, the ordinary-quality necromantic energy just now could allow him to cause a lot of damage at close range at once.

Moreover, the destructive power of this undead spirit was far beyond his expectations.

He thought that at most he could only severely injure Maru, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful when used, and it was not much worse than modern firearms in the 21st century.

Moreover, he was unscathed from an explosion of such intensity, and his right hand was intact without leaving a hole, which is simply incredible.

This is the first time he has used unknown extraordinary power. Although he killed Ma Ru, he was not at ease, and he was even more frightened by the situation he was in.

Whirling, Walker, Xuanming, Taotie...

It has only been a few hours since he traveled through time, but supernatural events emerged one after another, and he was endowed with magical powers inexplicably. It is unknown whether it is a blessing or a curse.

……

Before Xin Ziqiu could think about it, another faint spirit flew from the dead Ma Ru, and once again entered the pattern on Xin Ziqiu's right arm.

"You have obtained a spirit. Type: creature; quality: normal."

"Prospective walkers cannot sacrifice energy in exchange for rewards. It can only be used after completing the test task and being promoted to a walker."

"You have the power of gluttony, which can absorb the essence of life at one time, temporarily giving you extra vitality and recovery speed. Time: one hour."

The voice sounded again, Xin Ziqiu frowned slightly, and he, who was extremely smart, suddenly realized something.

As long as someone dies, will there be essence energy?

He secretly guessed the distinction between different types of spirit.

Gu corpses are not living things, they belong to the category of undead, and what they produce after they die is the essence of undead.After being absorbed by the gluttonous power, it can cause a one-time killing.

The living creatures that have just died probably belong to the living beings, and the living spirit energy produced after death is absorbed by the gluttonous power, which can be used to temporarily increase vitality and recovery ability.

This magical rule made him even more disturbed. Isn't this encouraging himself to kill and kill lives in order to gain energy and improve his strength?

This thing can't be used!

He didn't want to become dependent on this tempting power and become a bloodthirsty demon from now on, benefiting himself at the expense of others.

But now, he has no choice.

……

Although Ma Ru died, on the other side of the ruined temple, the four people were divided into two groups, and the fierce battle was in full swing.

Jia Zhiqing danced with a dagger, and was fighting Biyun Fairy You Qiaojun.

This master of the Dou Mu sect holds a pipa made of fine iron. The weapon is weird and the tricks are extremely strange.

Jia Zhiqing was obviously at a disadvantage, she could only fight back, but had little power to fight back.

And Jia Xian and Kang Wenping couldn't tell the winner for a while, the martial arts of the two were close, Jia Xian was slightly better, but Kang Wenping was surrounded by all kinds of poisonous insects, which made it hard for the old man to guard against.

Because of the scruples about the attacks of Gu insects, Jia Xian couldn't use his superb swordsmanship at all, and Kang Wenping couldn't help it for a while.

run away?
This idea suddenly and quietly appeared in Xin Ziqiu's mind, and passed by in a flash.

Reason told him that he had done his best and beheaded a strong enemy, and he had done his best to the grandparents and grandchildren of the Jia family, and he had no obligation to continue fighting here.

Moreover, he has already broken his left arm, so his skills are limited, and his combat power is greatly reduced at this time, so it is really not suitable to fight again.

If he had to leave at this time, probably no one would be free to intercept him, enough for him to escape from the tiger's mouth and fly away.

It's just that Xin Ziqiu didn't think so. He shook his head, collected himself, expelled this thought from his consciousness, and then looked at Kang Wenping, who looked like a skeleton.

This kind of scum beast who uses children to refine Gu, it's fine if he doesn't know it, since he ran into it, he must not be allowed to leave alive.

My buddy still has a spirit, and the hole card is still there, so why can't we fight again!
Leave all of your uncle's to me, don't leave any of them!

His eyes were sharp, as if he was about to spew out cold flames. Regardless of his injury, he gritted his teeth and activated the life energy he had just absorbed.
