Chapter 389 408. It is wrong to use more people to defeat fewer people
The moment Xu Zhi heard the noise, she became alert. Gouzi changed into the size of an ordinary wolfhound and followed her. In the jungle, Xiaozhen seemed to be free from the restrictions of the narrow path and could fly again. However, there seemed to be a restriction in the air, and she could not fly too high.
Xiaoyi was quietly hovering around her wrist. The little alien took out a dead branch from his pocket, as if it was just an unremarkable decoration. Flames were flowing in Xu Zhi's body, and the cat had already jumped onto a branch and was quietly waiting for the person in front to show up.
At first glance, it seems that there is only an extremely ferocious-looking wolf around Xu Zhi. No one knows that there are actually many of her clansmen quietly surrounding her, waiting for Xu Zhi's order to kill anyone who enters her sight.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of Xu Zhi. It was a middle-aged woman. Coincidentally, she was also wearing the Guangmingyuan uniform. The moment she saw Xu Zhi, she looked surprised.
Xu Zhi realized it later. She had only heard the sound of the person moving and had not noticed her arrival in advance. At first, she thought that the other party had some way to conceal his breath, but after seeing the other party's surprised expression, she realized that perhaps it was just this jungle that prevented them from discovering people in the distance too early through extraordinary breath.
Although both were wearing Guangmingyuan uniforms, Xu Zhi and the middle-aged woman did not speak at the first time. Xu Zhi was not sure what was in this jungle, nor did he know what the other party wanted to do, so he was watching. She observed the woman's expression, and for some reason, she was very alert, as if Xu Zhi was some kind of monster.
Is it that so?
Is it knowing yourself?
She's not someone who kills innocent people, right? Even if you know her, there's no need to just turn around and run away.
"Hello?"
Xu Zhi spoke first. She was very curious about the woman's attitude and also wanted to know about this jungle.
But Xu Zhi didn't expect that her friendly words would lead to a harmonious and friendly conversation, but the moment the woman opposite saw that she had no intention of taking action, she turned around and ran away.
Xu Zhi: ???
What the hell!
She immediately waved her hand, and Xiao Zhen, the fastest member of the clan, rushed towards the woman's back, and Gou Zi also quickly caught up with her. When Xu Zhi opened the [Eyes of Insight], he unexpectedly discovered that the extraordinary level of the escaping woman was actually higher than hers.
If Xu Zhi himself is at the early stage of [Named], then she is probably around the second stage.
Why would your first reaction when facing an enemy weaker than you be to run away?
Xiaozhen and Gouzi quickly intercepted the other party, and Xu Zhi also arrived soon after. When the woman realized that these two extraordinary creatures obeyed Xu Zhi, a look of surprise and unwillingness to accept fate appeared on her face, which Xu Zhi could not understand.
Xu Zhi found this interesting. Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to fight her without saying a word, she quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "I didn't intend to fight you. I just wanted to ask you something."
The other party seemed unconvinced, so Xu Zhi had no choice but to wave Xiao Zhen and Gou Zi back, then said, "You can't leave if you want to. I'm not afraid of you if you really want to fight me, but I don't intend to kill you. For the sake of being fellow Guangmingyuan members, I'll let you go after you answer my questions."
"You may not be able to kill me." The other party was a little unmoved.
Xu Zhi sighed helplessly, feeling that it was difficult to have a good conversation, so she shook her head helplessly. The moment she shook her head, the originally obedient family members rioted again and attacked the woman's position. This time, not only Xiaozhen and Gou Zi, but also several other family members assisted them. In less than half a minute, the woman who was originally confident that she could escape even if she couldn't win, and even made Xu Zhi pay the price, was easily pinned to the ground and unable to move.
"Isn't it certain now?"
Xu Zhi walked up to the woman leisurely. "Don't be nervous. I still say the same thing. I don't intend to kill you. I just want to ask you a few questions. Can you answer them now?"
In this situation, the woman was finally willing to speak: "Ask."
She did not ask whether what Xu Zhi said was true or false, but answered calmly and numbly, as if she was used to such life-and-death scenes.
"Why do you run away when you see me?"
"I'm afraid you're going to kill me," the woman replied.
Xu Zhi frowned: "We just met, why do you think I would kill you?"
Seeing that Xu Zhi really didn't understand anything, the woman paused, sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said, "You are lower than my extraordinary level. There are benefits to you killing me."
As if she didn’t communicate with people very often, she finished her sentence and then explained: “Did you take the wooden sign?”
Seeing Xu Zhi nod, she continued, "I know you. I heard about you before entering the Lost Land this time. You are the new genius of the Guangming Academy. You have the same light attribute as me."
"So you should take the light attribute sign."
"Do you know where this is?" she suddenly asked again.
Xu Zhi replied strangely: "I feel lost."
The woman looked at her with a somewhat secretive expression. She continued, "After picking up the wooden sign with the same attribute as your own, here, as long as you kill someone with the same attribute, you will gain power."
Having said that, she looked at Xu Zhi calmly, observing his expression, as if she wanted to know whether the girl in front of her would suddenly regret and kill her at this moment.
But Xu Zhi seemed only a little surprised and curious, asking: "What power?"
The woman curled her lips and smiled. "Isn't it said that there might be a secret deep in the Lost Land that can allow people to ascend to heaven?"
"That's it."
"That's it?" Xu Zhi's tone was doubtful, and he obviously didn't believe that this wooden sign had anything to do with ascension.
"Yes, that's it." The woman nodded in confirmation, then continued, "In other words, this wooden plaque can't directly allow someone to ascend. It's an opportunity, a ticket to enter."
"Of course, everyone says this and does this, and having the wooden signboard can indeed help us improve our strength quickly."
"But the price is the lives of other extraordinary people of the same attribute in this jungle."
She said this as if it was natural, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Some say that when all the wooden tablets are held by the same person, that person will gain the greatest power and be qualified to ascend."
The words were very general, but fortunately Xu Zhi could understand them. It was like a level-breaking game where you could unlock the ending after defeating all enemies and collecting all items.
But will it be that simple?
"Don't you say that you must comprehend enough rules to ascend?"
The woman smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's just speculation. No one has actually ascended. Everyone is just guessing how to ascend. The power of rules is the most fundamental power, so everyone believes that as long as you master enough rules and get close enough to the origin, you can ascend."
"And here, this is more than just the Lost Land."
Her words seemed to carry a profound meaning: "Here, the struggle among extraordinary people is the most fundamental struggle. Each attribute path has only one, and only one person can take it. Whoever survives to the end will have the qualification."
Strange words, but.
"In other words, if I kill people with the same attributes here, I will quickly improve my strength?"
"Yes." The woman nodded, looking at Xu Zhi without disguising her gaze.
"Will there be any side effects?"
She shook her head. "Of course not. Why do you think there are so few named people outside? Why do those agents stay here every day?"
"Isn't it because they can't ascend even if they comprehend many rules, so they can only try the methods here?"
"Almost all of the named individuals come here once, then die, or leave alive. After leaving, a large portion of them will choose to return here."
"This is the hunting ground of the Named One. Both prey and hunter are extraordinary beings. Everyone you meet here could be the executioner who takes your life, or they could be the nourishment that boosts your strength."
"Here, attacking those below your level won't bring any benefits. Only by constantly climbing up and attacking those who are more powerful can you make continuous progress."
"That is to say, here, those who have just entered the realm of transcendental beings have the most choices."
"So, now you know why I ran away, little girl?"
Xu Zhi nodded in sudden realization, which meant...
Now, with all the attribute tags, she is the strongest hunter in this "hunting ground". She can even hunt down every extraordinary person she sees!
"I see."
Xu Zhi nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I will let you go if I say so, but be careful, don't run into me again next time."
The implication was that the next time they met, Xu Zhi would take her life.
Considering that this person was honest enough and said enough, Xu Zhi did not intend to break his oath and let him go.
When she's in a good mood, she doesn't mind being a person who keeps her promises.
Yes, Xu Zhi is in a good mood now because she thinks this is very interesting.
Interesting rules, interesting place, and even more interesting is that she took all the wooden cards out of greed.
"One last question."
Xu Zhi asked casually, "Has anyone tried to take more signs? What would happen?"
The woman had just stood up and was a little surprised when she heard the question, but she immediately replied, "No one would do such a stupid thing."
Stupid thing?
Xu Zhi felt a little weird. She felt like she was being scolded, but it seemed like she was asking for it.
"Not to mention that it's impossible to pick up a badge of other attributes. There was a relatively powerful extraordinary person who tried before, but he soon died due to the attribute conflict."
"I can't absorb it at all, and the other attributes I can't get rid of are still existing in my body. Isn't this just seeking death?"
"However, he came here after gaining a certain level of strength, so he was able to pick up another sign. A person who had just entered the realm of transcendents wouldn't be able to do so, so few people encounter this problem."
Having said that, she realized that the girl in front of her was a very special person. Her aura had just entered the realm of the named one, yet she could easily defeat her.
The woman asked suspiciously, "Are you trying to get an extra piece?"
Xu Zhi thought, it’s more than just one piece.
But she shook her head: "I didn't pick it up, so I was a little curious."
The woman pursed her lips, her expression a little conflicted. She whispered, "That's good."
Seeing that Xu Zhi didn't seem to have anything else to ask, she tentatively asked if she could leave. After getting Xu Zhi's consent, she quickly disappeared from Xu Zhi's sight.
After the people disappeared, Xu Zhi gently touched the wolf head in front of her, and said to herself thoughtfully: "Very interesting, isn't it?"
She wanted to try and see what the so-called power was.
If it is true as the woman said, it can help her improve her strength quickly, then she doesn't mind
"Then the next person you meet won't be able to let him go."
The woman said a lot, but not too much. She seemed to have just been here for a short time, and the things she knew were things that would be "common knowledge" after being here for a while. As for more secrets, she couldn't say anything.
"Let's go."
She patted the dog, and the dog's body expanded rapidly, turning into a wolf as tall as a person. After Xu Zhi rode on it, Xiao Zhen flew at low altitude looking for prey. This place seemed very large, and even if it ran forward, it would give people the illusion of being stagnant.
In order to meet more people, Xu Zhi chose to follow the temptation. This seemed to be the right decision. Less than ten minutes later, Xiaozhen sent an early warning, indicating that it saw a human figure in the distance ahead.
What also surprised Xu Zhi was that according to the information sent back by Xiao Zhen, there were three people fighting ahead.
To be precise, there were two people working together to besiege another.
The man being besieged was of the [Blade] attribute, while the two people attacking him were one of the [Blade] and the other of the [Cast].
"Indeed, people with different attributes can form a team."
After all, everyone seemed to be very disciplined, and they only took their own wooden signs and only needed to kill opponents with the same attributes as themselves.
"Two against one, how insidious!"
Xu Zhi said righteously: "I have to go help him."
When Xiaoju on his shoulder heard this, he jumped up excitedly, and Gouzi even quickened his pace, as if he couldn't wait to show off in front of Xu Zhi.
Although the dog was big in size, it ran silently. Xu Zhi thought that it was its paw pads that were working. Therefore, when the dog jumped out of the dense jungle, the three people who were fighting fiercely did not notice it until now. When they heard the movement, they all stopped fighting and retreated to a safe distance. Then they looked at the huge silver wolf that jumped out of the woods and the girl on its back in surprise and surprise.
The expressions of the two people in that team turned ugly in an instant.
"Intercepted?!"
As soon as the dog landed, Xu Zhi felt that he had entered a certain area.
When she heard these words, she looked up at the lone wolf who was already at a disadvantage and almost dying, and then looked at the duo who had the upper hand but were obviously not in good shape either, and she shook her head.
"How can you outnumber the enemy and outnumber the people? This is totally immoral."
Xu Zhi's tone of voice seemed very innocent, which made the two team members show some subtle expressions on their faces. If they wanted to say something, they were probably disgusted by such high-sounding words.
After all, forming a team here is the most normal and even correct thing.
Of course, they didn't think Xu Zhi was really condemning them. Being able to get here, there was no such thing as a naive fool. The girl in front of them said such things. Wasn't she just making a bad joke to disgust people?
Xu Zhi got off the dog and saw that the three of them were looking at her warily. She raised her eyebrows and patted the dog: "Go, let them know that it is wrong to outnumber them and outmaneuver them."
As soon as he finished speaking, except for the [Curse] who could not move and the small alien with a questionable identity, the rest of the clansmen all went out. When the two people in the team saw the other four clansmen except the dog suddenly appearing from nowhere, their faces turned extremely dark.
Are you kidding me? This is what you mean when you say using more people to defeat fewer people is wrong???
