Only I can make them stronger

"There are... three more."

"Give it all to me. This is too slow. It's much more efficient to eat it all at once and recover energy while healing." The darkness around him and the voice just now made him extremely uneasy, so he said with a calm face.

"Ah? But the physical capacity of this capsule is very..." Hearing this, Y seemed to be shocked and was about to say something in disbelief.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing... Don't worry, I'll compensate you for these capsules later." Xia Ye also felt that his request was a bit excessive, but the current situation did not allow for too much negotiation, so he could only interrupt the other party.

"Well... okay..." Y hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust Xia Ye's judgment and put the remaining three into Xia Ye's mouth.

It’s not that she was reluctant to part with these capsules, but she found it hard to imagine why Xia Ye, who only seemed to have a second to third level combat strength, could digest a capsule of energy that could replenish a regular fourth-level alien energy so quickly.

Not only that, but eating so much at once...

Is it true that he won’t be blown up by rational elements?

51. Invisible Enemy

"Y didn't seem to hear the sound just now." Xia Ye felt that Y did not realize the actual arrival of danger, but the top priority now was to concentrate on restoring his own condition, and the rest could only be discussed later.

"No matter what, you must complete the treatment of your body as quickly as possible and be ready to deal with the enemy at any time..."

Xia Ye took a deep breath and prepared himself. He bit all three capsules in his mouth at once. A large amount of medicine flowed down his throat. Xia Ye suddenly felt as if he had drunk a big mouthful of ice water. All his internal organs were penetrated by the cool feeling.

At the same time, the mental power in the system began to soar, and it was about to be restored to full value in the blink of an eye.

"No waste, get started!"

A white fire that was much hotter than before suddenly ignited, lighting up the surrounding area. Xia Ye's body was also healing rapidly with the help of the huge healing fire.

He could clearly feel that strength and vitality were beginning to flow through his body again, and the pain was slowly subsiding until it disappeared.

At this moment, a voice that seemed to be a mixture of countless voices and sounded extremely uncomfortable suddenly rang out from above the head.

"The Hiding Place Remains Dark"

The voice made Xia Ye's heart tremble. He looked up, and then an expression of incomprehension appeared on his face.

What the fuck is this!?

On the stone wall above his head, there was a pale monster lying on the ground.

Four pale long arms as slender as bamboo poles supported a torso that only had the upper body. The facial features of the human head on the neck were completely opposite to those of ordinary people, with opposite curvature of the eye corners, white eye black, black eye whites, an upward nose, and downward corners of the mouth... The ubiquitous sense of distortion squeezed his aesthetic ability.

This is the ugliest and most terrifying monster Xia Ye has ever seen since he came to Hill Continent.

After "looking into" Xia Ye's eyes, the big mouth that was facing downwards opened again, revealing its dark teeth.

“The hideaway refuses visitors”

"Into hiding"

After saying that, it crawled towards the two of them at an extremely high speed like a spider with a human face.

Xia Ye felt that this thing was about to deplete his san value. He got goose bumps all over his body. He struck a match and controlled the flame to blast it over.

With the previous experience of dealing with the giant female body, he no longer expected that the crowbar infused with mental power could cause any substantial damage to the monsters here, so he started with the [Pyromaniac] that had just performed a great deed.

This incredibly powerful flame did not disappoint him. An expression of pain appeared on the monster's distorted face, and its originally pale skin soon showed blackened marks under the scorching heat.

Under the burning, the monster turned its body, and with the help of its four flexible limbs, it fled into the darkness above in the blink of an eye. Its speed was so fast that Xia Ye didn't even have a chance to react and chase it.

"What the hell is this..." Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, Xia Ye's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he lowered his head, panting.

However, he was surprised to find that Y was looking at him with an even more surprised look and asked a question that made him even more horrified than before.

"Xia Ye...what were you doing just now?"

…………

"Invisible monster?" Jinelle frowned and looked at the woman in front of her who called herself "Canaanzi". For a moment, she found it difficult to understand what she said.

"It's not just invisible. To be exact, it's impossible to sense it at all. It's completely different from ordinary invisibility." Canaanzi nodded, took a can of bread and a drinking water capsule handed to him, and said thank you.

Ever since Karen heard that the other party was from Qianshi Agency, his attitude towards Canaanzi has greatly improved.

"Although this monster behaves in sync with us and shares the same time flow, it is invisible and intangible."

"But the strange thing is that they can cause substantial damage to us, so much so that we have no ability to fight back when faced with the attack."

"According to my speculation, they seem to be in a peculiar half-plane state. It can also be understood that they are usually in another subspace in the same framework as our current space. They will only completely enter our space at the moment of attack."

Canaanzi's difficult words and phrases made Karen feel overwhelmed, while Jinniel thought for a while and then asked:

"If that's what you said, how do you know that?"

"This is related to my personal research direction..." Canaanzi probably guessed that this woman who looked very smart would ask this question, so he snapped his fingers casually, and a mechanical dog appeared beside her without warning.

"I am a researcher. My research area happens to include the relationship between subspace and energy, and I have some practical results, such as this."

As she spoke, she pointed at the mechanical dog.

"It is usually hidden in the subspace I carry with me, and will only appear to fight when I need it."

"In addition to the rational element, its energy supply also contains something relatively early, even dating back to before the rational element era."

"I speculate that it is probably due to this factor that it can detect invisible enemies to a certain extent, and the above content is also inferred from the information it conveyed to me."

"You mean..." Jinelle looked at the mechanical dog carefully, a gleam of light flashed in her amber eyes, and her tone was somehow excited:

"Based on the knowledge at the rational level, it is ineffective against those monsters."

"That's what I mean... It seems that you are also a researcher who has made achievements in the field of scientific research." Although there was no expression on Canaanzi's face, he stretched out his hand.

"Hello, my name is Ginelle." Ginelle understood what the other party meant and happily extended her hand.

Karen was shocked by this action.

Even a superior like Phoenix, who was kind and caring to them, only asked Jinelle to nod and bow.

"It's a pity that its intelligence is limited to the combat level and it lacks analytical capabilities, so it can't provide me with more information for reference." After shaking hands, Canaanzi spread out his hands to express his regret.

"Tell me about your companion. That's the main reason why you came to us for help, right?" Jinelle shook her head.

"Before that, I'm curious about one thing."

"what?"

"What is your relationship with Qianshi Agency? If I'm not mistaken, your collar badge is from Phoenix Agency, right?" Canaanzi pointed to the phoenix emblem on Karen's combat uniform under his off-road jacket.

"But obviously, your attitudes have softened a lot after you heard me talk about Qianshi Agency."

"Because we went on a mission not long ago and got to know several colleagues from your firm. We had a good impression of them and were planning to visit you some time ago when we had the chance." Karen answered excitedly.

Finally there was a topic she could bring up.

"Oh? Is it Leah? Or Shana?" This answer surprised Canaanzi a little.

"Besides the two of them, there is also Xia Ye!" In fact, for Karen, Xia Ye is the one who impressed her the most and whom she misses the most.

"Xia Ye...who is it?"

"Don't you know him?" Now it was Karen and Ginelle's turn to be surprised.

"My companions and I have been out for a long time on this mission. Maybe they are new colleagues." Canaanzi shook his head.

"Then when you go back this time, you must get to know him well. He's a very interesting man!" Karen introduced him quite proactively.

"man!?"

But Canaanzi's sudden increase in voice interrupted her. This was the first time Canaanzi showed a clear change in tone since they met.

"That's really...very interesting..."

52. Xia Ye... would you mind?

Xia Ye widened his eyes and looked up.

Except for a small area illuminated by the flame at the tip of the match, there was only endless darkness.

"You... didn't hear it? Didn't you see it!?" He didn't know whether there was something wrong with Y or with himself.

"Hear? See...what?" Xia Ye's weird look made Y a little nervous, and he stretched out his soft hand and gently stroked the latter's forehead.

"There is no loss of control over the mind caused by absorbing too much physical elements, and the energy flow is also very stable..."

"A monster! Crawling towards me like a spider! It has a human face, a pale body, and four hands... Forget it, there's no point telling you if you haven't seen it." Xia Ye took a step back to avoid Y's palm, trying to describe the horrifying scene he had just seen.

But he suddenly felt that he looked more like a mentally ill person in the eyes of the other party who knew nothing about it.

"Anyway! I am calm and clear-headed, and I am not hallucinating for any reason."

If it was an illusion, there was no need to be scared off by [Pyromania].

"I believe in you, Xia Ye. There's no need to be so... nervous..." Seeing Xia Ye's look, Y forced a smile and comforted her softly.

"I'm not nervous! Or rather, even if I am nervous, it's because it's really dangerous here and we need to stay alert!" But Xia Ye interrupted her loudly, panting with his eyes wide open.

A place full of incongruities, unexpected developments, bloody and terrifying monsters, an uncomfortable current environment...all of this makes it difficult for Xia Ye, who is usually very calm, to control his emotions.

What is most frustrating is that even though you have teammates by your side, you feel like you are fighting alone.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." As if frightened by Xia Ye's current state, Y trembled all over and subconsciously tried to apologize.

And at this moment, the rustling sound came again.

"Damn it!" Xia Ye roared and looked in the direction of the sound.

“The hidden place remains quiet”

This time the spider-like monster came from behind Y.

Xia Ye controlled the fire snake and roared away as if it was a conditioned reflex.

The flames, more powerful than before, swept through the monster's body, causing it to twist and turn, and it turned and fled into the darkness before anyone could get close.

The surroundings returned to peace.

"You didn't see it this time either, right?" A drop of cold sweat ran down Xia Ye's temples, and he looked at Y who was turning his head to look at the darkness.

But Y's answer once again surprised him.

“No… This time I saw it. It was a four-armed, pale monster with inverted facial features. I also heard the sound of it crawling and howling.”

"I think I know what's going on."

"Hmm?" Xia Ye frowned and looked into her black eyes in confusion.

Why did Y give two completely opposite feedbacks within just a few seconds?

"It's inspiration!" Y tapped her chin with her jade finger and asked thoughtfully, "Xia Ye, your inspiration should be very high, right?"

"Well... I guess so. At least I haven't seen anyone higher than mine so far." I can't say anything else, but Xia Ye's inspiration is indeed very high.

"That's it. I'm afraid that only people with extremely high sensitivity can sense that kind of monster. I'm in the fighting domain, and my sensitivity is not high, so I can't sense it."

"But you just..."

"Your emotions just fluctuated greatly, so they had an inspirational effect on the small area around you, making it your [Inspiration Zone]. Under such influence, that monster will have nowhere to hide." Y explained patiently.

After the other party said this, Xia Ye suddenly seemed to feel that this was not the first time that something similar had happened to him.

Whether he was doing I or laning against the Raven Ancestor on the night of the Black Moon, it seemed that his inspiration would be released due to some violent emotional fluctuations, forming a field-like effect.

But at that time, he didn't have the time to care about it, and secondly, he had a lot of things to learn and consider, so he just used inspiration, which was an illusory thing, based on his feeling.

"But...if that's the case, we can't keep our emotions volatile all the time, right?"

Although Y's words at least proved that it was not just his hallucination, it did not seem to solve the substantive problem.

"It seems that Xia Ye doesn't know much about how to use inspiration... If you believe me, you can do it according to my instructions. I can teach you how to expand the inspiration area." Y hesitated for a while and suggested;

"Although my own inspiration is not strong, I have learned some relevant knowledge. After I expand the inspiration area, I can help you deal with that kind of monster."

"What are you waiting for? Come on!" Hearing this, Xia Ye was naturally overjoyed.

If someone offers to teach him a skill, why would he hesitate? Just learn it!

"So, Xia Ye, what triggered your first inspiration?"

"..." However, the first sentence the other party said made him silent.

"Xia Ye?" Y tilted his head in confusion. "This is very important. Generally speaking, we will use similar methods to stimulate the inspiration zone to further stimulate it."

"This..." Xia Ye recalled that it was in Luo Qi's room. He had approached her in order to deal with Shana, the competitive woman.
