Chapter 166 166. The end of the forest is
"I have brought the bones out. When is the appropriate time to hold the ceremony?"
According to Xu Zhi's idea, she wanted to hold it immediately. After all, the black cat was also brought out by her. The other party was in a coma and no one knew what he would do when he woke up.
But her condition was not good at the moment, and Xu Zhi was no longer the ignorant girl she used to be. Naturally, she knew that it was not suitable to hold the promotion ceremony in this condition.
However, what she knew was limited after all, and the game console had always been quite familiar with her condition and should know better than her when was the most appropriate time.
【Take a half-day break, then proceed as soon as possible. 】
【Why did you bring it out with you?】
The narrator was a little confused.
However, this also further confirms that the narrator is indeed unaware of her every move during the night.
"I made a deal with it. It told me some secrets, and I brought it and the bones out."
At this point, Xu Zhi suddenly said, "But I didn't expect these bones to be found everywhere."
The narrator was silent for a while, as if worried that Xu Zhi might misunderstand, and began to explain:
【It’s not that I don’t want to tell you.】
"I know." Xu Zhi waved his hand: "You can't say it."
"I saw it."
The secrets and dangers that abound at midnight are all unspeakable to the narrator.
The black cat could tell that it had also suffered a backlash, and Xu Zhi saw it all.
"But do you know that something unexpected happened in the middle of the night?"
I don't know for sure, but I can give you a rough idea.
"Since you can guess it, I don't need to say it." Xu Zhi was still thinking about how to hint at it, but now he saved the trouble.
What are you going to do with it?
The narrator's meaning is obvious, referring to the black cat.
"Will my remains still exist after I'm promoted? If not, it should have died immediately, right?"
Xu Zhi didn't want to let danger stay with him, since he wasn't a real cat.
That’s right, in Xu Zhi’s eyes, his own clan member [Nightmare] is the real cat.
Still there.
Xu Zhi frowned: "Is there any way to kill it directly?"
[It's difficult, it has no entity, but there is a way. ]
【Let the nightmare consume it. 】
[However, there is a certain risk. It and the nightmare will compete for the main body of consciousness. Whoever wins will become the "nightmare".]
[Fortunately, your clan is closely connected to you. After you advance, your chances of defeating Nightmare will increase.]
"That's good." Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "If it wins, will it still be considered my clan?"
[Not counted.]
The narrator replied affirmatively.
[Nightmares have no physical form and are quite special. When their consciousness devours the consciousness of their clan, your clan will cease to exist.]
"That won't do."
After asking about the cat, Xu Zhi's expression turned serious. She raised her palm to reveal the mark from midnight: "Do you know what this is?"
【.Know. 】
"Then you must also know that I will be branded like this?"
The narrator was silent for a moment.
【Yes. 】
【But, there is no other way.】
[This world's resources are too scarce, and there are only a few ways to advance. Right now, the only way to advance is this.]
[I know this will happen, but I can't care less. Right now, you can only improve your strength regardless of the consequences.]
[At least, this mark won't kill you in the short term. Even if you can't survive the crisis, you don't have to worry about it.]
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows: "From what you said, this thing seems to be more terrifying than that world-destroying demon king."
Because he couldn't say it directly, Xu Zhi came up with a nickname.
【no the same. 】
The narrator's mouth is still tight.
[This mark may not even have a chance to activate. Don't worry, if you can survive.]
At this point, the narrator seemed unable to imagine what would happen if he survived, so he could only say:
[In short, don't worry, just improve your strength as soon as possible. ]
The narrator's riddle-man mode is becoming more and more frequent. This may be because Xu Zhi is no longer as ignorant as before, asking some simple questions. She gradually begins to touch upon the essence of some problems and begins to come into contact with the secrets of this world.
"Okay, I get it. Anyway, I don't have to worry about this mark until the world is destroyed, right?"
【Yes. 】
It sounded very strange, revealing a strong sense of incongruity, but Xu Zhi's brain was not functioning smoothly at the moment, and he couldn't think carefully.
After finishing the conversation with the narrator, Xu Zhi closed her eyes again and rested for a while. Perhaps because she was too tired, she leaned on the little alien and fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, it was almost time for the ceremony.
Xu Zhi had the formation pattern in his mind. Most of the materials needed for carving were the limbs and bones of extraordinary creatures with the [Moth] attribute, plus gray pigments made from the [Moth] attribute core and some materials.
After Xu Zhi carved out a small and exquisite formation, she took the remains of the black cat out of the warehouse.
The moment the remains were taken out, the unconscious black cat twitched its tail as if it sensed the scent of its own corpse.
Xu Zhi asked the little alien to guard it. The little alien's current [Seal] feature could play a certain role. Then, the girl placed the bone in the key position of the formation, stood in the center, and activated the formation.
When the silver light shot up from the formation, Xu Zhi's vision became blurred.
A large number of moths swarmed out of the formation, surrounded Xu Zhi, and dragged her into another familiar place.
It was a pure white forest.
"It's been a long time."
She hadn't seen this place for a long time.
However, coming here means that the ritual is taking effect, and she needs to successfully "promote" before the ritual stops.
The remains led her to this forest and then pointed out the way forward. On the tree that was originally empty, a piece of white remains similar to a goat skull was hung at some point.
Xu Zhi complained in his heart that this way of leading the way was really special. Then, after confirming that there were no bones guiding in other directions, he stepped onto this road.
The strange thing was that this time, as if with the blessing of the formation and the remains, she no longer sensed any danger, and even the journey was quite smooth.
Just when Xu Zhi was doubting her life, she suddenly discovered that the forest seemed to have an end.
".Am I at the end of the road?"
Confusion instantly filled Xu Zhi's mind. Is it really so easy?
Something's wrong
What went wrong?
But there was indeed an "end" ahead, a vast expanse of white, no more trees, and no more paths.
With the mentality of "I'd better go and take a look first", Xu Zhishun walked to the end of the forest.
Then, she saw a scene that she could not believe.
Ahead of this vast expanse of white, where the road ends.
——It is a bottomless cliff.
