Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 179 breathlessness
Yang Liu took a few deep breaths, looked at the twisted steel bars in his hands, and threw them aside.

He didn't know how long he had fought this time, but the densely packed dog-shaped demons behind the gate had been completely wiped out.

Glancing down at the battlefield, the originally smooth tunnel had become bumpy. Fortunately, the spirits of the dead demons would dissipate over time, and Yang Liu also absorbed most of them, so there was not a strewn with corpses.

It’s just that the entire battle area has some new things that didn’t exist before, which is something Yang Liu also felt puzzled about during the battle.

"...Collar? Will dog-shaped monsters like the human-faced dog automatically generate collars after evolving?"

This is obviously impossible, and even if the demons can really transform into something similar after evolving, they will dissipate along with their spirits after death, so the pile of pet collars on the ground are real entities.

Picking up a worn-out collar, I found that the tag in the center had been completely corroded by rust and it was impossible to recognize its original appearance.

But through the rusted gap, you can see the original exquisite structure inside the tag - this thing is definitely not an ordinary collar tag.

After searching a few more times, Yang Liu finally found a tag on which she could barely make out the words on the back.

"No. 1976".

Looking at the number on it, Yang Liu's eyelids twitched: "Normally, this should be the pet's name, right? Does anyone really give their pets a number?"

A little thought will reveal that there is only one possibility for such a large number of numbers: experimental subjects.

"I always feel like I have accidentally learned something incredible."

Scratching his head, Yang Liu wasn't too distressed.

Anyway, he is already in too much debt now, so no matter which force's hidden secrets they know, if they want to take revenge on him, they have to queue up for the lottery.

Shaking his head and looking at the empty tunnel, Yang Liu did not let down his guard.

Because when the gate was just opened, he discovered that at the end of the tunnel, behind the huge herd of beasts, there was a short figure standing there.

The other party has remained motionless since he appeared, but Yang Liu can clearly feel the aura of power coming from that figure.

Finding that the other party had no intention of attacking, Yang Liu found his backpack and quickly took out some high-energy food from it and stuffed it into his mouth.

In addition to replenishing the energy consumed in previous battles, it is also to strengthen the body as much as possible.

Yang Liu could clearly feel that with the replenishment of food, her body was getting closer and closer to the boundary of the next evolution.

The 50 kilograms of food stored in the backpack that was more than one person tall was consumed unknowingly. Yang Liu wiped his lips with a feeling of unsatisfaction.

Fortunately, when Yang Liu's ability was strengthened last time, his stomach evolved again, which greatly improved both his digestion speed and food absorption efficiency, so that he would not fall into the dilemma of eating and defecating at the same time.

"I feel like I'm becoming less and less human..."

Looking at her almost non-bulging belly, Yang Liu gritted her teeth and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

This time the ability evolved faster than before. Although Yang Liu could feel that his body had further potential after replenishing more nutrition, the main effect of the ability evolution had already been manifested after eating the reserve food he carried with him.

He opened his mouth slightly, and wisps of white air accompanied by Yang Liu's breathing gathered in his mouth, were inhaled into his body, and then quickly converted into bioenergy and stored in his body.

After just a brief attempt, Yang Liu stopped using her new ability because of the stale air in the tunnel. "Ahem... Shit! Ahem... I'm so awesome now!"

Although she was choked by the dirty air in the tunnel and kept coughing, Yang Liu couldn't help wanting to laugh, so much so that she was laughing while coughing.

After finally recovering from the coughing, Yang Liu finally had time to slowly savor the feeling just now.

Just now, what seemed like ordinary breathing to him was actually gathering and absorbing the energy carried by spirits, ghost power, microorganisms in the air, and even cosmic rays scattered in the air, and then transforming it into bioenergy that he could use.

"What is this? Those who eat air become gods and live long... Could it be that I am going to become a god now?"

Recalling the records in some ancient books in China, Yang Liu couldn't help but fantasize.

Although this newly emerged ability did not provide Yang Liu with any extraordinary power to drive, and it was still stored in the body in the form of bioenergy, it meant that from now on not only would Yang Liu's combat endurance be extended, but his development speed would also be greatly increased.

"Let's call this new derivative ability 'Eating Air'!"

Yang Liu quickly named her newfound ability.

In fact, after careful experience, he also realized that this was not a new superpower he had acquired, but a specificity that naturally manifested when his body was strengthened to a certain situation.

In fact, similar to the previous round of ability evolution, Yang Liu's ability this time is still to evolve its own absorption and digestion strength, and improve the energy reserve effect.

The reason why he can absorb the energy of scattered spirits and even cosmic rays is actually because his body has evolved something similar to plant chloroplasts, which can directly carry out "photosynthesis" with higher efficiency.

The ability to absorb microorganisms and moisture in the air is actually because Yang Liu's body has evolved a structure similar to that of aquatic filter-feeding organisms, allowing it to "filter" food from the air.

When the two are combined, the external manifestation becomes what we know today as "eating air".

In excitement, Yang Liu couldn't help but take two breaths of air. He always had the illusion that he was making money by breathing air.

“Ahem… Never mind. The air in the tunnel is too filthy. Let’s go out and play later.”

After coughing twice more, Yang Liu finally recovered from his excitement.

He looked into the depths of the tunnel with some curiosity. The short figure did not take any action from beginning to end. Even when he saw himself being choked, he did not intend to launch a sneak attack.

Yang Liu frowned, pulled out the last two steel bars from his backpack, and approached the figure cautiously.

In the completely dark tunnel, I could only see clearly after I got closer that the short black figure looked like an ugly, ragged old woman.

Even though Yang Liu had approached within ten meters of the other party, the figure still had no intention of moving and just stared blankly at the ground.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Yang Liu scratched his head, somewhat undecided.

Yang Liu could confirm that the old woman in front of her was also a third-stage demon, but for some reason she didn't move much.

"Uh...hello?"

Hearing Yang Liu's greeting, the old woman slowly raised her head, and suddenly she heard a faint roar of a car inside her body.
