However, once he activated his Spirit Detection Technique, the scene around him made his complexion change involuntarily.
In his field of view, in a dark area of the underground garage, there were a dozen figures converging towards him and another person, all of whose outlines were the same monsters as before!
Little Refining Demons, they were actually social!
"Quick, back to the car!" Zhang Xiaoman shouted to Brother Hero.
He sensed the remaining Dark Energy he had, which was 125 points. If he launched a Soul Absorption Technique, it would recover to 145 points, just enough for him to activate two skills!
Star Guardian and Constitution Enhancement!
First was the Star Guardian, a skill learned from the System’s Light Ball that only required him to come up with a request in his mind to activate instantly. Naturally, Zhang Xiaoman prioritized it for use.
As a surge of Dark Energy gathered, two tall figures swiftly solidified from an illusion, and in just about five breaths, they turned into two Star Guards clad in armor.
After the activation of the Star Guard skill, next was the Constitution Enhancement.
The Constitution Enhancement skill required 110 points of Dark Energy. Zhang Xiaoman also used a Soul Absorption Technique before activating it to recover some of his energy.
As it was a formula he had just learned, Zhang Xiaoman had only cast it once and was not very familiar with it. Therefore, his casting speed wasn’t fast. Although the formula was simple, he spent a good dozen seconds completing the arrangement to ensure success on this first try.
Fortunately, the casting was very successful, and there was no mid-casting failure.
Perhaps noticing that two more targets had suddenly appeared, the group of approaching Little Refining Demons also halted their steps, and Zhang Xiaoman could vaguely hear a chorus of "Wah, wah, gah, wah" sounds.
Seeing the enemy stop, Zhang Xiaoman was pleased, as his Constitution Enhancement required a boosting time of 1 minute to reach the full additional 20 points of constitution. The opponent’s hesitation provided him with ample preparation time before the battle.
"1, 2, 3... 7, 9... 13! 13 creatures!!!"
Zhang Xiaoman, using his Spirit Detection Technique, counted the number of Little Refining Demons, ultimately surprised to find there was a total of 13, including the two previously killed, bringing the group’s number to 15.
It was the first time since he obtained his Extraordinary Power that he was facing so many monsters at once.
Inside the car, Brother Hero, seeing the two burly figures that had suddenly appeared outside the window, almost had his eyes popping out.
He had previously witnessed Zhang Xiaoman killing a monster, but that was just seeing him use the Holy Water Bullet; at most, he used the Eye of the Starry Sky skill while absorbing the corpses. He had never seen such a scene as now.
He opened his mouth, just about to ask his friend what was going on and why he suddenly adopted such a stance when he heard a wah-wah sound coming from deep within the garage. Having experienced it twice before, he knew what that represented.
"Monsters! Lots of monsters!"
Brother Hero exclaimed, as with the approach of the Little Refining Demons, he could also see pairs of red eyes twinkling in the darkness.
"How can this be... Xiao Man... are you sure you can handle it? Should we get in the car and retreat?"
The lighting here was already dim, and those twenty or so red eyes were indeed terrifying in such an environment. Brother Hero could never have imagined that the perennially unlit depths of the garage hid so many terrifying beings.
