Chapter 2649: Worry First About Whether You'll Survive
The specific uses and effects of "Life Origin" hadn't been described when its upgrade was completed. Its current effect was a little better than Xu Huo had expected.
He checked the items on him and, after confirming they weren't damaged, activated the item again. This time, he didn't touch a metal object directly. Instead, he placed his hand on the ground. In an instant, the metal needle that had pierced the defensive barrier and flown hundreds of meters away into a tree turned to ash. The RV parked even farther away was also rendered unusable. Its wheels, outer shell, and internal metal structure disappeared, leaving the bed, cookware, and other items inside clattering to the ground.
Xu Huo paused at the sight, then used his mental power to suspend several items and metal utensils at different heights for another test. This time, the items and utensils were untouched, but the knives in the knife rack inside the RV disappeared.
The situation was the same as with the metal needle in the tree.
After a few more attempts, he roughly figured out how "Life Origin" worked. The items it could destroy were still fully formed metal objects; he just didn't need to touch them directly anymore. However, destroying metal objects without direct contact required that they not be suspended in midair. No matter what they were connected to, there had to be an object serving as a medium.
This meant that from then on, he no longer had to touch metal objects directly to use the item.
"Hey, are you all right?" A Player coming from the direction of Lingshui Town spotted him and stopped in the distance.
Xu Huo lowered the hand he'd just raised and pressed it to the ground again.
