Chapter 433 452. Prey and Hunter
As Xu Zhi got closer and closer to that place, she could feel that she was experiencing some kind of "cleansing".
It was amazing. She didn't feel any explicit pressure, nor did she experience any changes, but she vaguely noticed that her "distractions" were decreasing.
All kinds of emotions brought by the outside world are also easing or even disappearing.
The calculations, conflicts of interest, and even love and hate in her mind were all calming down. At first glance, this seemed to be a good thing, allowing Xu Zhi's originally heavy mood and tense spirit to begin to relax, but soon, she realized that something was wrong.
Hidden beneath this relaxation is an invisible murderous intent.
Or, it cannot be called "murderous intent" because the intention is not to kill anyone.
In essence, anyone who gets close to the [Glow] will return to the [Origin].
That is, being assimilated by the glow.
Realizing this, Xu Zhi immediately stopped moving forward.
Her expression, which had unconsciously become relaxed, became serious again.
It is indeed impossible to get close to the glow directly.
Even if she possessed a fragment of the glow, she would probably be completely assimilated before getting close to the glow, and transformed into its purest form, that is, the "energy" itself would return to the glow.
"Sure enough, we can't take this shortcut?"
Xu Zhi sighed. In that case, he had to implement the original plan.
She looked back at the sky of Mansu. The sun in the center was hanging high in the sky as always, without any shift in position. The temperature of the sunlight was just right, shining impartially on everyone in Mansu.
The clear sky that should have been cloudless was disturbed. In the distance, a blood-red color appeared in the sky. Xu Zhi knew without even needing to sense it that there must be a [Cup] there.
It seems that a fight has broken out.
But Xu Zhi didn't plan to rush over now.
The game console was already nearby, and the [Light] must have arrived as well, but it was impossible for everyone to be there.
If any creature gets close to the glow, it will inevitably return to its origin. But there is one thing that cannot be explained no matter what.
How did other gods obtain the Glow Fragments?
This is something that can never be achieved without contact with the glow.
Xu Zhi didn't know how the other party did it, but one thing was certain, the person who did it would definitely not want another person to be "awake" and approach the glow.
So, Xu Zhi planned to try to lure the snake out of its hole.
Compared to the fight over at the [Cup], I think her trying to get closer to the glow would attract more attention from those in the dark.
The game console was still waiting for the opportunity, so Xu Zhi asked her to remind herself to stay awake at all times. Then, he activated the power of the rules of glow in his body and tried to get closer again.
The girl's grey pupils rippled, as if energy was surging in her body. When the aura close to the glow lingered around her, the "cleansing" seemed to slow down a little, but it did not disappear completely. As she went deeper, her consciousness became almost uncontrollably dazed.
Fortunately, the game console always noticed that something was wrong with her and spoke in time to pull her consciousness back when she was on the verge of being assimilated.
As Xu Zhi's footsteps got closer, he showed no signs of being assimilated by the glow, and some people became restless.
When Xu Zhi took another step, her movement suddenly paused.
There was clearly no change in the surroundings, whether it was the light, air flow, smell, temperature, or even the glow that cleansed her, but at this moment, the moment she took a step, she felt a sense of incongruity.
Someone attacked her, and the person behind the scenes was obviously getting restless, because the other party could not confirm how far Xu Zhi, who had eaten the fragments, could go.
He didn't know that Xu Zhi had been holding on until now, and he didn't dare to bet on how far Xu Zhi would go, because even for him, it would be extremely difficult to get close to the glow again.
She can't be allowed to move forward anymore.
So He took action.
Xu Zhi’s feeling was not an illusion. In fact, this was one of the areas she was good at.
She stopped, a hint of sarcasm in her expression.
"Illusion?"
This really happened to be something she was good at.
After merging with the cat, the "illusion" that [Moth] was already extremely good at became even more powerful. Even if the person who created this illusion was very powerful, the illusion was impeccable and even enveloped Xu Zhi silently. But at that moment, Xu Zhi still noticed something wrong and immediately realized what happened.
If she was still dominated by [Light], she might not be as sensitive as she is now, but now, her main attribute is [Moth]. Everything related to [Moth] is magnified, and her perception of illusions is more acute than that of [Light].
"Where do you want me to go? Into the trap you set?"
The girl's voice penetrated the fog that the instigator had placed in front of her eyes, and along with the voice emerged the extraordinary ability of the [Moth] attribute from Xu Zhi's body.
The moment Xu Zhi's extraordinary energy emerged, a strong energy that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her swept around her, and dense moths appeared around her, but they were not her moths.
The moth flapped its wings, and the falling phosphorus powder pierced her skin and flesh like sharp needles.
In a moment, his mind was invaded, his consciousness was modified, and even his eyes and muscles felt stinging due to the falling phosphorus powder. It seemed that in just a moment, Xu Zhi fell into a disadvantage.
She realized that this was some extraordinary ability of the other party. However, although it might be very troublesome for others, it would not cause any harm to Xu Zhi.
Her not-so-skilled [Heart] attribute ability was running in her body, and combined with her already strong self-healing ability, the wound caused by the "phosphorus powder" was completely healed in almost an instant. However, it was only the body that was repaired. The mind distorted by the [moth] would not be completely unharmed like the body. The pain in the body disappeared, but the consciousness and mind were invaded.
Xu Zhi's eyes were cloudy for a moment, and then returned to their usual appearance, as if he was not affected at all. However, the person hiding in the dark saw it clearly and was convinced that he had already planted a seed in Xu Zhi's heart.
Although he was somewhat surprised that the illusion was immediately exposed, he was the one who ate the [Glow Fragment] after all, so it was understandable that the other party had some skills.
But, it’s still too tender!
In order to prevent Xu Zhi from noticing what he had done, he continued to attack without hesitation, making Xu Zhi flustered. At the same time, he was bound to trigger the seeds buried in Xu Zhi's mind in the shortest time possible. As long as the mind was shrouded in haze, it would be impossible for him to get close to the glow.
And He can also instantly take away the fragments of glow stolen by Xu Zhi!
The sky full of moths made it almost impossible to open one's eyes. The chaotic [moth] attribute supernatural powers spread throughout the entire space, but these moths had no entity and would not dissipate due to physical attacks. Xu Zhi had to use her supernatural powers to deal with these moths that tried to drill into her body, but it also attracted the energy that did not belong to her hidden deep inside, ready to move, trying to cooperate with the moths outside to take away her control of her body and consciousness in an instant.
When the ground beneath her feet suddenly turned into a cliff without any warning, an intense feeling of weightlessness that she had not experienced for a long time instantly hit her. Originally, Xu Zhi would not be disturbed by such a little trick, but at that moment, something inside her body destroyed her sense of balance, and she felt as if she was really falling from a cliff. The girl's eyes were panicked for a moment, and her breathing became unstable.
This is a flaw.
So at this moment, a hand stretched out from the darkness, passed through Xu Zhi's panicked and unstable body, and aimed directly at her heart!
Countless moths clung to Xu Zhi's limbs, trying to prevent her from adjusting her disharmonious posture. As long as they touched Xu Zhi's flesh and blood, they would plant the [moths] that controlled her!
If He had not realized that Xu Zhi's resistance to the Moth was unreasonable, why would He have taken action personally?
The almighty God was obviously somewhat disdainful of this troublemaker who showed up out of nowhere. Even so, He still cautiously chose a safer approach and took action himself.
He was confident that this blow would inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
This outstretched hand is between reality and illusion, as if it is the "flesh" condensed from countless moths, yet it seems to have no substance at all. Ordinary people cannot even determine the direction of its existence, let alone stop it.
Before I knew it, the silent hand had already reached Xu Zhi silently.
The next moment, a white, slender and powerful hand firmly grasped the attacking ghost hand.
The moths that originally had the advantage suddenly disappeared, and the illusion that controlled Xu Zhi was broken in an instant.
He realized something was wrong and felt a little surprised. He immediately tried to withdraw his hand, but he was even more surprised to find that he couldn't pull his hand out easily!
Xu Zhi grabbed this "hand" that had no substance and imprisoned it in return!
He finally condescended to look Xu Zhi in the eye, but was surprised to find that Xu Zhi's eyes were no longer panicked and turbid, but clearly clear, with a hint of mockery.
He realized that he was wrong.
Xu Zhi was not affected at all, but he was influenced by Xu Zhi without realizing it!
When is it?
When Xu Zhi realized that he had entered an illusion?
Or perhaps, a time even earlier, when even He hadn't noticed?!
He thought it was a trap he had prepared, but in the end, the prey on top was actually the hunter hiding shallowly?
After a long time, so long that he couldn't even remember, he finally felt the slight chill on his back again at this moment.
At this moment, Xu Zhi was holding his wrist, not afraid to get close to him, as if he had some kind of support, or perhaps he was simply absolutely confident in his own strength. There was a strange and cruel look in his eyes, not like a threat, but rather a sincere question:
"What a coincidence, you are also a moth?"
"I wonder if eating you will allow me to go further?"
