Chapter 164: Midnight's Erosion and Secrets
This midnight trip seemed to be safe except for an extra mark on my hand.
Just as Xu Zhi was thinking this and stepped over the crack, she realized that this was not the case, because
——She did not leave Midnight, but returned to a location about a hundred meters away from the crack in Midnight.
The tall figure guarding the crack seemed to have sensed something and looked around vigilantly, but did not find Xu Zhi who was standing still.
After the giant creature had patrolled several times without seeing anything unusual and moved away slightly, the black cat's voice faintly came from under its cloak: "It seems you did leave behind some traces and traces. That creature has noticed something is wrong."
Xu Zhi didn't say anything. She was searching the knowledge in her mind, looking for a way to break the deadlock.
This is most likely that guy's extraordinary ability. Such an ability is indeed very suitable for guarding the crack, but Xu Zhi cannot tell what kind of extraordinary ability it is now. She is even considering whether to activate the [Eye of Insight].
Although the narrator had reminded her not to use it as much as possible, she really needed to see what kind of extraordinary ability sealed the crack before she could find a corresponding solution.
However, just in case, Xu Zhixian lowered his voice and asked the black cat, "Do you know what this is?"
The black cat shook his head regretfully: "I don't know this guy, human, think of a solution quickly."
Xu Zhi sighed helplessly. There was no other way. Now that things had come to this, he could only figure out what was blocking the exit of the crack and then look for a way to break the impasse.
However, even though she was so covert when she came in, the big guy still noticed something was wrong. Now using the [Prying Eyes] might reveal some extraordinary aura, so Xu Zhi asked the black cat to help her cover up a little.
Although the black cat was somewhat reluctant, it had no choice but to agree. So under its cover, Xu Zhi opened the [Eye of Insight].
When his eyes looked at the crack again, Xu Zhi almost lost his focus because of the huge amount of information he saw.
In her eyes, everything in the midnight became a huge amount of information, especially the black trees, which almost made her brain crash. Xu Zhi could only try her best to control herself from looking at them. If she didn't look at them, she wouldn't think about them, and wouldn't try to understand or analyze them.
The midnight sky and the ground were covered with complex and magnificent lines. Xu Zhi couldn't see clearly and didn't dare to look at it for too long. She felt dizzy after just a few glances. She couldn't look at the sky, nor could she look directly at the ground. She even had to avoid the trees on the roadside as much as possible. Xu Zhi's expression was already covered with a mask of pain.
She could only try her best to restrain herself from looking at the crack, but even so, a huge amount of complex information continued to flow into her mind from her eyes. She needed to carefully distinguish which ones she needed to analyze immediately and which ones were best ignored.
It was not until now that Xu Zhi finally understood what the narrator meant by "seeing things that shouldn't be seen." This was too much!
It seems that midnight itself is a huge hidden treasure trove, and the things that can be seen everywhere in it may contain some unknown secrets.
At this time, the light of the [Cup] attribute seemed a bit of a hindrance. If it was a [Lamp], her analysis speed would be much faster, but Xu Zhi didn't dare to switch. The guy hadn't walked far yet, and the sudden appearance of the [Lamp] attribute would inevitably expose him. She had to endure for a while.
Although she now has a certain resistance to the erosion of midnight, she cannot completely ignore it, and it should not be an illusion. Since the mark was left on her palm, Xu Zhi didn't feel anything at first, but the longer she stayed in midnight, the more obvious a bad feeling became.
It was a slow, normal erosion. She couldn't tell what it felt like. There was nothing wrong. It was just as if "midnight" had some kind of connection with her.
Obviously, not a good link.
And this connection grew stronger the longer she stayed in the midnight.
It was like a shadow quietly following her, invisible and intangible, but also impossible to get rid of.
She had felt this feeling before in another pure white forest.
But Xu Zhi had no time to take care of this now, and could only try his best to analyze what the extraordinary ability covering the crack was.
As time slowly passed, Xu Zhi gradually felt waves of dull pain in her brain caused by "overload". She gritted her teeth, endured the dull pain and continued to analyze. Soon, the extraordinary ability blocking the gap was analyzed out.
The cup has extraordinary abilities and its function is to "retrospect".
It was somewhat unexpected that it would trace back everything that touched the crack, including a stone, or Xu Zhi and the black cat.
Roll them all back to their state ten seconds ago.
It wrapped around the entrance and exit of the crack, and there was no way to avoid it, only to break it.
There are many ways to crack it, but most of them cannot be used by Xu Zhi, such as the extraordinary ability of the "time" system that is opposite to it, or the extraordinary ability of the "lamp" attribute that just happens to counteract the "cup".
But there are other unconventional methods she can use.
That is the simpler and more brutal "supernatural energy hedge". Simply put, it is a wave confrontation. However, unlike the wave confrontation in animation, supernatural powers do not mean that whoever has more energy can offset the opponent's supernatural power. Whether it can be offset depends mainly on resistance. Only when the resistance is sufficient can one be immune.
The purpose of using supernatural energies of different attributes to hedge is more to weaken the influence of the opponent's supernatural abilities, or even distort the effects of supernatural abilities. But the prerequisite is that you must fully understand the operation and weaknesses of the supernatural abilities that you want to destroy.
Simply attaching your extraordinary energy to it will not have any effect at all, just like oil drops in water, which cannot mix.
But as long as one understands it well enough and adjusts one's own extraordinary energy to a structure similar to that of the opponent, one can achieve "destruction" and "distortion".
Generally speaking, this is something that can only be done between extraordinary people who know each other very well, but Xu Zhi has eyes that see through everything, and "understanding" becomes the simplest thing for her.
But it is still a bit difficult to adjust one's extraordinary energy to a structure similar to that of the big guy.
At least, under the influence of the [Cup] attribute light, coupled with the debuff of dull pain in his head at the moment, Xu Zhi couldn't do it.
After all, this was her first time doing such a thing.
After trying several more times and still failing, Xu Zhi realized that she had to transform the light into the [Light] attribute as an aid in order to do it.
Once the change occurs, it is like lighting a "light" here, and she will be discovered immediately.
Want to try it?
Xu Zhi hesitated for less than a second before making a decision immediately.
