"call……"

Looking at the thick black blood flowing out of the licker under his feet, Zhang Xiao exhaled deeply, but his face was extremely pale and extremely ferocious.

This is not only due to physical injuries, pain and exhaustion due to the outbreak, but also because of the pain in his mind that it was about to explode, and his real headache was about to break.

——This is the negative effect of almost exhausting mental power.

"I didn't expect that the ability to master skillfully in the space of consciousness is so difficult to use in the real world."

Zhang Xiao pressed his head and said in pain, but his eyes were filled with gratitude.

The ability he mentioned comes from the ability obtained by the man in the military uniform of a nightmare devouring the resentful ghost in the space of consciousness - "Shadow Movement".

This ability is very limited. You can only jump in continuous shadows in the same space. Generally speaking, the movement distance is not long; but this ability is also very strong, at least when it can be used.

Because this is a real space-like displacement skill, it is essentially a phase movement ability, ignoring the terrain and ignoring obstacles, and there is no limit except for the activation conditions of the skill itself (same space, continuous shadow).

After returning to the real space, Zhang Xiao originally thought that the ability of the Nightmare body to devour the body would also disappear. After all, Zhang Xiao's substitute is no longer the [Blood-colored Nightmare]. Without the ability of the Nightmare to devour the substitute, the soul can still be simulated in the consciousness space, but returning to the real space will be able to return to the original form.

The same was true, but the ability of shadow movement was somewhat different. After Zhang Xiao returned to the real space, he found that he could still feel the existence of the shadow dimension, which Zhang Xiao knew very well.

It is also Zhang Xiao’s luck, probably because he does have a very high awareness and talent for space, and he has truly experienced the ability to move shadows in the space of consciousness, so he can master this ability again in the real space.

——Really master this ability!

However, at the beginning, Zhang Xiao did not intend to use this ability, even when he was out of the cage, because his ability was strong, but this ability was not practical on the front battlefield.

If you think about it carefully, Shadow Movement is actually a castrated version of flash, which is good for assassination, escaping, or even cutting into the battlefield. But when there is only one passage in the entire battlefield and almost all the passages are zombies all day long, what's the use of this ability?

No matter how you flash, you will enter the enemy pile in just one flash... Are you sending a head for thousands of miles?

So at the beginning, Zhang Xiao had no intention of using this ability at all, and there was nowhere to be used.

It was not until the end of the battle with the licker that Zhang Xiao almost instinctively used this ability when he and the licker had no room for anything else.

However, at the moment of using his ability, Zhang Xiao knew that he had been cheated and his confidence had been cheated.

——The ability of shadow movement is basically completely different from that in the real space and consciousness space. There is a huge gap in the amount of mental power consumed when activate the ability or the definition of shadow.

Among them, the previous factor is almost killing Zhang Xiao.

Once this ability is to be activated, the mental power consumed is about one-third of the huge mental power that Zhang Xiao himself possesses!

See clearly that this is the minimum starting fee required for the activation ability, which means that Zhang Xiao’s full value of blue (mental power) evaporates by half in an instant.

Although this ability is not a continuously consumed skill, such a huge instantaneous consumption still brings a huge burden to Zhang Xiao's spirit.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiao was at the end of his life and his mental power was at a low point. He was completely overdrawn, and his mind was not exploded because of good luck - because the three consecutive overclocks in a short period of time made his consciousness very active, which helped him withstand the negative state caused by overdrawn mental power.

Although consciousness is not equivalent to mental power, active consciousness can indeed speed up the refinement of mental power to a certain extent, and at the same time it can enhance the resilience of mental power and make mental power more durable.

In other words, it is to use less mental power to do more things. The same skill originally required to use 30% of mental power, but in this case only about 20%.

This increase and decrease, and the addition of the two items is the reason why Zhang Xiao can withstand the negative effect of overdrawing mental power - headache;

Although I thought about the negative headache, it seems that it is no big deal, and I can't die, but you should know that even Cao Cao, who is known as a wise and powerful man in troubled times, can't bear the headache. Zhang Xiao's situation is hundreds of times stronger than him, and it is normal that he can't stand it and die.

Because his headache is not because of a brain disease (literally), but comes from the origin of the soul, the soul. Once he really can't stand it, his consciousness collapses, and his soul will naturally collapse and completely dissipate.

Even if your body is intact, you are still a dead person who cannot die anymore.

And this is not the most traumatic thing. The second point is the definition of shadow!

This has to be mentioned that there are actually some errors in Zhang Xiao’s understanding in the space of consciousness.

In the same space, continuous shadows are not two conditions, but one condition.

Let me put it this way, even if you put a house in complete darkness, if you close the door, Zhang Xiao cannot appear on the ceiling of the third floor like a hole through the floor. If you open the door, he can completely reach anywhere in the entire darkness.

So this same space can actually be understood as a closed space - as long as the shadows are connected together.

Similarly, even if it is vast and boundless on the prairie, if the two shadows cast by the two clouds do not overlap, then Zhang Xiao can only move in the same shadow.

Back to the point, after Zhang Xiao jumped against the wall, he did not think of using the shadow to move and make changes. Instead, he aimed at the licker's brain, preparing to break the licker's defense with the help of two reactions and rotations, but he did not expect that the licker would crack his move almost instantly with instinct.

At that time, Zhang Xiao was actually desperate, and he activated the shadow movement to fight to the death mostly because of his instinct - he was too familiar with this ability in the consciousness space.

But at the moment when he wanted to use his abilities and the moment when his mental power was overdrawn, Zhang Xiao learned about the difference in the movement of shadows in real space, and at the same time he knew that he was in great trouble.

At that time, the only shadow under his feet was his own, which means he had no way to go!

But Zhang Xiao was so lucky, or he was really possessed by his soul at that time, and his mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly became enlightened. Almost at the same time he understood the limitations of this ability, he found the bug of this ability.

No, it is not a bug, but has flexibly used this ability and used it thoroughly and flexibly.

At that time, although most of the lickers were under his shadow, the shadows under his feet and the shadows of humans were not connected. They were two separate parts, and his people were not the carriers of connection, so this was not a continuous shadow - the shadows were two-dimensional and did not exist in three-dimensional space.

However, when Zhang Xiao saw the light embedded in the ceiling, he happened to be shattered by him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration - although the two shadows were not continuous, if the entire space was very dark, would it be considered a shadow in another sense?

After all, shadow movement is essentially moving through shadow entering the shadow dimension. The requirement for "same space, continuous shadows" is just because if you cannot do this, people will be lost in the shadow dimension and cannot return to reality. However, if the shadow dimension is already very close, even the separated shadow may not necessarily make people return to reality again.

As for what would happen if he couldn't get back to reality, Zhang Xiao actually didn't think about it, because he had no other choice at that time - he would just die.

But fortunately, Zhang Xiao bet right!

Looking at the licker who was pierced by the chest and heart, who was already dead and could not die again and could never survive, Zhang Xiao breathed out, closed his eyes slightly, and quickly calmed down the headache caused by excessive mental power consumption.

"Next, it's you... Synthetic sound!"
