The battle for the Soul Crystal is over. Whether it is the monsters that have already grabbed the Soul Crystal or those who failed in the snatching, once they lose the attraction of the Source Crystal, they will inevitably continue to attack the surrounding humans.
Liao Fan was seriously injured and could no longer fight again. The only thing he could do now was to find a place to hide.
Fortunately, there was the newly acquired Wei Jun beside him, who could help him find a hiding place. After a period of searching, the two found a medium-sized supermarket.
Stepping into the space behind the supermarket, they came to an underground warehouse. The warehouse was not big, with only about thirty square meters of space. It was closed all around and the space was dark and opaque.
Liao Fan dragged his exhausted body and limped towards the corner. He immediately leaned his body against the wall and took the time to close his eyes and rest.
Recalling the fierce battle just now, there was a bitter taste on his face.
The combat power of the tree spirit clan is quite impressive. In order to snatch the second-level source crystal, Liao Fan used his body to withstand several attacks from the flower demon. If he had not relied on the protection of the armor, he would have been killed by the flower demon long ago.
.
Even so, Liao Fan's physical condition is not optimistic either.
His back was blasted to pieces, and a small part of the poisonous powder emitted by the flower demon entered his body, causing his back to become numb. As time went by, he almost couldn't even sense the existence of his body.
It would be fine if it was just a traumatic injury, but the nerve-paralyzing toxins contained in these pollen can act on humans for a long time. Even if Liao Fan has a superhuman physique, it is difficult to be immune.
He could only rely on the energy provided by the secondary source crystal to slowly adapt and gradually decompose the flower demon toxin in his body.
But this process is relatively long and cannot be completed in an instant. In order to ensure that he will not be disturbed by monsters outside during the recovery period, Liao Fan could only open his eyes tiredly and told Wei Jun who was guarding not far away,
"It will take at least three days for me to regain my ability to move. During these three days, I have to help you guard the warehouse passage for me. Don't let anything disturb me."
"OK!"
Wei Jun nodded, looked at Liao Fan's exhausted look, a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and whispered, "Then now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liao Fan shook his head and said, "You can't die. You just need to do what I say."
After sending Wei Jun away, Liao Fan continued to lean his back against the wall. After briefly looking around, he closed his eyes again.
Although this operation caused injuries all over his body, compared with the harvest, the mere injuries were nothing.
The energy filled in the air, as well as the powerful body of a superhuman, can help speed up the recovery of injuries.
What's more, the second-level source crystal is still in his body. As long as Liao Fan is given a certain amount of time to fully refine the energy, the injuries in his body can heal themselves.
Of course, this process still takes some time, so after sending away the Wei army, Liao Fan immediately started refining energy.
He settled his thoughts, emptied out all the clutter, slowly closed his eyes, and while looking at himself, he drew up the remaining source crystal energy in his belly.
At this point in the battle, half of the energy stored in the secondary source crystal has been consumed, but the remaining energy is already considerable.
Liao Fan had no way to completely refine them in a short period of time. He could only spread his consciousness and continuously pull it, causing these energy to flow into his limbs and meridians, making up for his own consumption while constantly strengthening his physical body.
The second-level source crystal did not disappoint Liao Fan. The vast energy stored in the source crystal was so strong that it made his heart palpitate. Through the fusion of these energies with his body, Liao Fan also clearly felt that both his physique and endurance were inferior.
It continues to grow visibly to the naked eye.
Such progress made him fall into ecstasy.
Since completing the first stage of refining, Liao Fan felt that his body was becoming saturated. No matter how hard he tried to capture the source energy in the air, he seemed unable to meet the needs of one stage of evolution.
To complete the second stage of evolution, the energy required is at least ten times that of the first stage. Liao Fan's own talent for energy refining alone would take at least several years to barely accumulate enough.
But things are different now.
The energy provided by the secondary source crystal was like a torrential flood, inexhaustible. After Liao Fan's subconscious guidance, all of this energy turned into a trickle, flowing freely in the blood vessels and meridians.
And Liao Fan also relied on these endless sources of energy to continuously strengthen himself and steadily improve his evolutionary level.
It only took a few hours for him to feel an invisible barrier, as if evolution had reached a bottleneck and only the last step was left to complete the stage jump.
However, it is obviously not easy to break through this last hurdle.
After several hours of continuous refining, Liao Fan stopped absorbing the source crystal, then opened his eyes, stared at the blackened ceiling and walls, and murmured to himself,
"The second-level source crystal is too precious. I am afraid that there will not be another one in Lincheng in a short period of time. If I want to break through this barrier as soon as possible, this is the only chance I have. I must concentrate all my energy and try to break through."
At that level, I hope the result will satisfy me..."
Even with the second-level source crystal in hand, Liao Fan still had some doubts in his heart about whether he could successfully break through the second-level combat power.
After all, in his previous life, even at his peak, he only had basic combat power.
Liao Fan couldn't describe what it would be like to become a Level 2 superpower user. After all, he had never experienced it personally.
He only knows that this breakthrough can only succeed and must not fail.
Once you fail, you will definitely lose the opportunity to evolve and be surpassed by a large number of people with powerful abilities.
And if you lose the opportunity to evolve, it will be difficult to take the initiative in the end of the world.
He forcibly suppressed his emotions and took a deep breath. However, he was not in a hurry to reach the next level. Instead, he slowly turned his eyes and looked at Wei Jun, who was squatting alone in the warehouse passage.
At this time, Wei Jun was still holding the machete and was sitting on the steps very anxiously. He looked at the passage above from time to time, as if he was worried that monsters might break in at any time.
It wasn't until he sensed Liao Fan's eyes that he stopped looking around, stood up slightly confused, walked slowly towards Liao Fan and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Next, I have to go through a long period of seclusion and try to break through the second level of combat power. However, this process is very dangerous and I don't have much confidence, so I must ensure the safety of the surroundings."
After several hours of adjustments, Liao Fan's body had obviously recovered, but he still pretended to be weak and weak. He leaned his back against the wall and his voice was weak. While talking, he observed Wei Jun with his peripheral vision.
Reaction.
Wei Jun was startled, and then said, "Don't worry, I will guard this passage for you, and I won't let anything disturb your rest no matter what."
Yeah?
Liao Fan chuckled, but his expression became playful, and he raised his eyebrows at Wei Jun, "Haven't you ever thought about killing me while I was weak and then taking away my belongings?"
