Chapter 162 162. Blasphemy Midnight
Xu Zhi didn't believe the cat's lies at all.
In her eyes, "some trouble" means "big trouble."
But in this dark forest, apart from the dirt road on the ground, there were only straight black strange trees. She really didn't know where to look for the remains, and now she could only cooperate with the cat temporarily.
It was really strange that Xu Zhi never thought that one day she would become a temporary partner with a strange talking cat.
Although they both have their own ulterior motives.
The black cat took Xu Zhi towards somewhere in the forest. While walking, Xu Zhi did not completely trust the other party. Instead, he kept an eye on his surroundings, intending to run away if anything went wrong.
What if this guy wasn't telling the truth and was lying to her?
It's not impossible.
However, the expected scenes did not occur. Xu Zhi safely followed the black cat to a place in the forest.
In fact, she had no idea where she was in the forest at the moment, and even had difficulty distinguishing east, south, west and north. She just relied on her powerful brain power to remember the way she came. After all, this forest was too stereotyped.
It was so rigid that it gave off an eerie feeling. There were these black trees everywhere, and the blurry moon above was hanging high in the center. The light mist on the ground brought bursts of cold and biting chill. Even though it was extremely quiet here, it made people feel creepy.
"arrive."
The black cat stopped in front of a tree.
"My remains are buried under this tree. You just need to dig them out."
Xu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "The trees here all look exactly the same. How did you recognize them?"
The black cat looked at her and suddenly sneered sharply: "Look the same?"
"No, every tree here is unique."
"Don't you want to know where this place is?"
The black cat suddenly jumped a few steps and stood under the tree that belonged to it. Although its back was facing Xu Zhi, it turned its head in an extremely strange posture, revealing the hideous smile that had just appeared.
"Just to show my sincerity, I'll tell you in advance why I can accurately recognize this place. Because this tree is my tombstone."
"Would you not recognize your own tombstone?"
Xu Zhi thought, it’s hard to say, she doesn’t have that opportunity.
The black cat's voice was as ethereal as the mist in the forest: "Every tree here is a tombstone, buried with bones. You stand on the land made of flesh, blood, and corpses."
"This is a phantom that flashes in the midnight. It is also the place of fall, the cemetery where the gods are buried."
As he spoke, the black cat's eyes curved into two crescents. "Of course, guys like us are far from being gods, and there aren't many gods buried here. But, even the weakest of those who died here were a little stronger than you."
After saying this, its figure suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke, and its tone was filled with obvious malice:
"Human, hurry up, or those who heard me say that will come over here!"
Xu Zhi didn't even have time to be shocked by what Black Cat said.
She immediately realized that the cat was not suddenly kind enough to answer her questions, but was forcing her to act quickly.
Every secret must have its guardian. If Black Cat tells her these things directly, it will definitely alert certain existences. She really needs to speed up.
However, Xu Zhi's intuition told him that digging out the remains of the black cat was not as simple as just digging out the bones.
But now that things have come to this, she really needs the remains and the secret that the black cat knows, so she has no choice but to go ahead with it.
However, when Xu Zhi walked under the tree where the remains of the black cat were buried, she had already sensed something ominous, and the moment she stuck the broadsword she carried with her into the ground, something unexpected happened.
It was as if the sky and the earth suddenly tilted, or as if a dragon turned over. The forest roared angrily. Everything began to become turbulent in Xu Zhi's eyes. As the earth trembled, the black cat's laughter reached her ears.
"As the first living person in thousands of years to dare to break ground here, you have created history."
This guy really has no good intentions.
"Everything is just an illusion caused by His anger. Hurry up and dig. If you don't hurry up, you will stay here with me!"
Xu Zhi cursed in her heart. She said it lightly, it was just an illusion, but to her the world was shaking!
Thunderous roars continued to fill her ears, and enormous pressure descended from the sky, as if to knock her to the ground and stop her bold behavior.
The lantern kept shaking in her sight because of the shaking of the world, but Xu Zhi didn't dare to move the lantern. After the black cat reminded her, she knew it was an illusion. It would be terrible if she thought she had straightened the lantern in the illusion, but lost it in reality.
Xu Zhi lowered his center of gravity while shaking, inserted the horizontal sword into the ground to stabilize his body, then leaned his body against the back of the sword, loosened his hand slightly, and took out a [Lamp] attribute core and put it into the lantern.
The lights seemed to become brighter, and in Xu Zhi's perception, the violent shaking of the ground also eased a little.
She knew it was the light that was working.
So Xu Zhi seized the opportunity and plunged her knife into the soil to search. Soon, she touched the hard bones in the soft soil. So she used the knife as a tool, opened the grave belonging to the black cat amid the angry roar of the forest, and dug out a strange bone from it.
It was a gray bone, about half a meter long. The tail looked like an ordinary bone joint, but the head looked like two goat horns. Even if the whole bone had just been thrown out of the soil, it was extremely smooth and emitted a faint glow. At first glance, it looked somewhat holy.
The moment Xu Zhi took the bone out of the soil, the trembling earth suddenly calmed down. A gust of wind blew across Xu Zhi's body from nowhere. The palm of her hand holding the bone suddenly seemed to be burning. When she couldn't help but let go of the bone and raised her palm, she found that her palm was now as if being burned by fire, and her flesh was twisted. Finally, a strange red scar was imprinted on the palm of her hand like a mark.
That looks like a door.
Xu Zhi's eyes darkened, and she picked up the sword beside her and calmly cut off the piece of flesh with the mark on her palm. Soon, her powerful self-healing ability allowed her flesh to grow again, but the mark was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, following her new flesh.
"Give up! This is a mark of desecration against midnight. You can't get rid of it."
"Hehe, hurry up and grab the bones and leave here, those guys are already here."
The black cat's gloating voice echoed in his ears. Xu Zhi didn't show any panic when he heard it. He just picked up the bone and asked, "Did you do this?"
"I?"
"If I had such ability, I would have been able to come and go freely in this damn place."
"This isn't my fault. You dug up the remains of those who sleep peacefully in the midnight, so you must bear the consequences of desecrating the midnight."
It seems that it is not that the remains of the black cat are too special, but that no matter which one she digs up, it would be considered "blasphemy".
