The blue Soul Crystal flashed with a strange light in Sheyan's palm. Sheyan took one last look at Pontin, but he did not see any fear in Pontin's eyes. Instead, Pontin's eyes were filled with determination!
Pontin's reaction undoubtedly gave Sheyan enough confidence. He took a deep breath, activated the Protoss Soul Crystal, and then selected the target to use it on.
Immediately, clear cracks appeared on the surface of the Soul Crystal. Then, a series of creaking sounds could be heard in the air. It was like the sound of a river freezing or thawing during a winter flood. Then, the Soul Crystal turned into clear blue powder and floated in the air bit by bit. It was like a diamond star, beautiful and dreamy.
However, the specks of dust instantly reformed into the twisted soul of the Protoss. The soul let out a series of silent and unwilling cries, as if it was trying its best to escape from its tragic fate. Sheyan did not expect this strange phenomenon either. He could not help but look at Pontin and ask, "Don't worry, Pontin.
"Are you sure you want to try it?"
He saw that Pontin's face was filled with ecstasy. Yes, ecstasy. It turned out that Pontin was not worried that he would die, but that Sheyan was just bragging!
Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he was filled with confidence. Seeing the change in Pontin, Sheyan simply pointed the specks of dust at Pontin and gently pushed them towards him.
The specks of dust immediately rose into the air and were sucked into Pontin's nostrils. Pontin's face instantly contorted in pain, as if all his bones had rusted. His right leg went numb and he could not move it.
He wanted to scream out loud, but all he got in return was the contortion of his facial muscles. He couldn't make a single sound. Amidst the pain, there was also a numbing burning sensation. That feeling was very strange. It was as if his entire arm was melting like a candle, softening and melting!
Sheyan sighed. He did not understand the principle of strengthening, so he could not help Pontin in any way. However, this was the path Pontin had chosen, so he could only resign himself to fate.
But before leaving, Sheyan still did his best to give Pontin three mouthfuls of 'Endless Vodka' and a bottle of strengthening potion he had concocted. Sheyan did not know if the potion would be of any use to Pontin, but it was better than nothing.

The next morning, Sheyan was woken up by wild laughter. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Pontin's face, which had turned red from excitement. Pontin was violently shaking the shoulder of another engineering SCV and laughing wildly.
"Hahaha, I did it, I really did it! I can feel the power surging in my body! "
The helmet of the poor SCV clattered from the impact. Before Sheyan could say anything, Kyrgyzna angrily rebuked him.
"What are you doing?"
Pontin chuckled.
"Little girl, I'm not afraid of you anymore. If you don't believe me, why don't we fight one-on-one?"
Kyrgyzna was also a woman brimming with a wild nature. In fact, in the army, apart from nurses, there were no other refined women who could stand firm. She immediately raised the machine gun beside her and pulled back the bolt. She fiercely shouted.
"Up to you!"
Before she could say anything, she saw Pontin charging at her like a bull. Pontin's speed and strength were completely unmatched by his previous self! Kyrgyzna could only raise her machine gun to block the impact, but Pontin had already raised his welding torch and smashed it down!
Even though he didn't press the switch, the 30-kilogram welding torch smashed into the body of the gun with a "Ka" sound. Instantly, the rivets on the body of the gun flew out, and the straight body of the gun actually became a clear concave shape.
Kyrgyzna staggered back from the impact and fell to the ground. Her face was pale, and she felt a tightness in her chest. She almost vomited. Pontin, on the other hand, was even more aggressive. He took a step forward and pressed the flamethrower of the welding torch against her neck as he smiled lecherously.
"You're dead! Hahaha, shouldn't you fulfill your promise and spend the night with me? "
Sheyan rolled his eyes. Sure enough, lust was the driving force behind human evolution. It turned out that Pontin had developed such a powerful strength for the sake of a woman's body.
Pontin's body seemed to have grown a size bigger. Previously, his muscles looked like they were only there for the sake of bodybuilding, but now, they contained an explosive power. His blood vessels were entrenched in his muscles like angry snakes, giving the impression that they were about to be bitten. His muscle fibres were resisting tenaciously and violently, making them creak.
"Did you take a stimulant?" Kyrgyzna coughed violently. She asked in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Stimulants were a type of drug whose side effects were seriously underestimated. These built-in chemical injection systems would produce very strong positive effects … and negative effects when injected into humans.
This drug, which was a mixture of synthetic adrenaline, endorphins and a mind-strengthening drug, would instantly stimulate the nerves, greatly increasing the speed and reaction speed of the injected soldier. However, the side effects of long-term use included, but were not limited to, insomnia, weight loss, mania, mild mania, convulsions, paranoia, hallucinations, internal bleeding and brain necrosis. Therefore, stimulants could only be used in combination with medical drugs.
SCVs or ordinary humans were not allowed to use stimulants. This was not a restriction, but a real protection. If stimulants were used without the relevant medical drugs, it was possible to die instantly. That was why Kyrgyzna said so.
"Hahaha, I'll use that kind of thing?" Pontin laughed wildly. "This is my power, the legendary power that His Excellency personally bestowed upon me! Although this power almost killed me, I still managed to climb out of the gates of hell! "
Looking at the excited Pontin, Sheyan suddenly received a notification.

Sheyan looked at the rest of the engineering SCVs. Their average attributes were around 40 points, which showed how much they had improved. When Pontin said that his power was bestowed by Sheyan, everyone was stunned. Even Snake had a look of disbelief on his face.
Sheyan remained silent on all his questions and left the mess to Pontin, who was obsessed with Kyrgyzna. There were still a lot of things to do after he woke up today. Sheyan knew that his first priority was to find Ronnie. Since Ronnie had asked for help, he should have left some information for Sheyan so that he could find Ronnie easily.
Pontin naturally stayed behind to do the hard work. It would be a good idea to develop a base first. Sheyan planned to continue going out with Snake to gather information. Although Snake was hiding a lot of secrets, it was undeniable that Sheyan had obtained a lot of first-hand information from his dealings with Snake.
Through Snake's explanation, Sheyan learned that the Lost Temple was much larger than Earth. However, there were a large number of death zones on the planet. These death zones contained a strong poisonous substance that was fatal to both humans and Protoss. Even the Zerg, who had the most tenacious vitality, could not hatch their eggs in these death zones.
Therefore, only the areas covered in a dark green colour were safe zones that could be visited. The total area of these safe zones was about the size of Taiwan Province, and they were scattered all over the planet.
Therefore, if Sheyan wanted to find his friends or enemies, it would not be as difficult as he had imagined. Snake also told Sheyan that the lost Dark Templar Temple was not fixed in one place. Otherwise, let alone enemies, even those fanatical Protoss with opposing beliefs would have been hunted down and wiped out a long time ago.
Therefore, if Sheyan wanted to obtain the location of the Lost Temple of the Dark Templar, he would have to wait for the right time. Once the Lost Temple of the Dark Templar appeared, all kinds of strange phenomena would occur. The direct consequence of this was that the patrolling spacecraft would mysteriously disappear in this star field, just like the "Bermuda Triangle".
Sheyan shuddered when he thought of this. He suddenly remembered something that he had not figured out before – how did Snake ensure that his position as the leader of the Protoss would not be challenged by high-ranking survivors?
Snake might have already killed all the officers who could threaten his position! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
