After confirming that the energy obtained by killing and plundering was safe, Xu Zhi felt relieved.
This is the best. Seeing that the outside world is already in turmoil, she doesn't want to spend a lot of time on advancement. If she follows the routine, even she doesn't know how long it will take before she can stand on the world stage with integrity.
Now there is a fast track.
As for killing people and plundering energy, it sounds too evil, but that is only based on the cognition of ordinary people. There is not much morality in the extraordinary world, especially in a place like this.
It's the law of the jungle. If you can't beat her, being eaten by her is what you deserve.
Xu Zhi immediately accepted the new rules of Lost Land without any psychological preparation, and thought about what he should do next.
As long as the extraordinary level is higher than hers and the extraordinary person has the attributes she possesses, she will not let him go. As for [Inspiration] and [Heart], she can consider it and absorb a little appropriately, trying to keep it at a level far lower than [Lamp] and [Moth], so that they can stably suppress these attributes that she does not have and avoid the outbreak of attribute conflicts.
As for why he wanted to plunder some of the attribute energy that he didn't have, Xu Zhi's idea was very simple, adhering to the principle of "take it all".
Since she can take away attribute tags that don't belong to her, why can't she absorb some energy of other attributes?
What if her next clan can just use this energy?
In the past, she couldn't directly transfer the energy in her body to her followers. After getting the wooden token, she can do this. This is undoubtedly much more convenient. If the new follower is [Heart] or [Initiate], she can directly feed the other party's level up through the wooden token.
"Isn't what I'm doing just like what the cup does?"
Xu Zhi suddenly realized that if she infused the extraordinary energy directly into her clan through the wooden sign, wouldn't it be similar to what the god [Cup] did to his believers?
"Did He participate in this wooden sign?"
Xu Zhi tried this idea and found that she could also use the wooden sign to recover all the energy she had "given". Of course, it was limited to the energy given in this place. She could not "recover" the power that the clan had already possessed.
This makes it almost certain that the method by which the [Cup] gives power to believers is somewhat similar to this wooden sign.
"What on earth is this wooden sign?"
It doesn't look like it was naturally generated, but rather like some kind of man-made extraordinary object.
She also tried to use the [Prying Eyes] to look at it, but the secret level of this wooden sign was too high. She felt dizzy after just one look and didn't dare to look at it directly.
From this, she got a glimpse of the flavor of [rules].
What kind of existence can put the "rules" into this small wooden sign?
Xu Zhi felt that [Glow] would not do such a thing. For some reason, although she had never seen it before, she always felt a sense of "familiarity" with [Glow] from nowhere. She subconsciously felt that [Glow] would not do something that showed such obvious signs of "human intervention".
Then only those few [Gods] are left.
What did the gods want to do by creating these wooden signs and building this hunting ground?
They wouldn't be raising leeks. At their level, even the archbishop can give them gifts at will. Why would they need to raise these leeks that are as small as dust?
Xu Zhi was not clear about the purpose, nor was he particularly curious.
Regardless of her purpose, she did gain energy from it at this moment. Of course, Xu Zhi also knew that the other party was very likely to recover energy through the wooden sign. However, she was still in such a "low" initial stage of the named sign that she could already vaguely see the rules hidden in the wooden sign through the [Eye of Prying Eyes]. It only took a little time for her level to rise a little more, and she would be able to look directly at the rules and try to understand them.
No matter what the creator's purpose is, as long as she cracks the secrets and rules, the situation will be broken, and all the energy she obtains will be taken away by her.
Even though the [Cup] outside has caused such a big commotion, it is still so peaceful here with no unusual movements. I guess the person who created this hunting ground does not want anything to happen here easily, so Xu Zhi dared to stay here and even made such a bold decision.
If there was any normal person around her, they would definitely ask her if she was crazy.
Even "wealth and honor are sought in danger" is not enough to describe Xu Zhi's madness.
But when he made this decision, Xu Zhi's expression was quite calm, and only in the depths of his light gray pupils could one seem to glimpse the shadow unique to the Chaos Moth.
Xu Zhi's thoughts have always been different from those of ordinary people. This can be attributed to her past, but after experiencing so many events, she has seen more clearly what has supported her all the way to the present, and she also understands that she is destined to not be able to make always thoughtful or cautious decisions like other people.
This is the unchangeable underlying color of her personality, and the fundamental reason why she is attracted to the [Moth] attribute.
"Go, help me find the next target."
The girl raised her hand slightly, and the Saker Falcon perched on her forearm took off into the air, scanning the distance for any signs of prey.
Here, the daytime seemed to be stretched out. Xu Zhi felt that it was already night, but time still remained in the daytime.
This was good news for her, as she quickly dealt with one prey after another. Unfortunately, [Lights] were always rare.
Because they had no [heart] to sustain themselves, even though Xu Zhi himself was still in good condition after three or four rounds of continuous fighting, his clansmen were obviously a little tired and had suffered injuries of varying degrees and needed to rest.
Continuous battles with names higher in rank than hers didn't always go smoothly, and she wasn't someone who simply let her followers charge forward while she watched from behind. However, her self-healing abilities were too strong, and the injuries she sustained recovered quickly, as did the loss of her extraordinary energy.
As long as we win, everything will come back.
But the clansmen really need a rest.
The good news is that she caught two [Lamps] and three [Moths] in total. In order to deal with midnight, she even gave up other useful attributes and concentrated on finding the names corresponding to her own attributes today, hoping to improve her strength as soon as possible before midnight.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. After an extremely long day, she has become very different from when she first entered the jungle.
After reaching the level of being named, the extraordinary people are not actually divided into clear "levels". It is more of a comprehensive consideration based on the number of steps the named people have taken in Mansu and their reputation in the real world. To be more straightforward, they are ranked based on the strength they show when fighting against others.
But Xu Zhi felt that she probably couldn't follow this because she had no reputation at all.
So I made a simple plan in my mind using simple numbers, turning myself who had just entered the world of fame into level 1. Whenever my strength improved significantly, my level would also increase by 1.
Now, she defines her true self as Nominal 3.
As for the Archbishop she had met in the Federation, Xu Zhi gave him a ranking of 10.
Obviously, neither the spirit body nor the small alien species has reached 10, and there is even a big gap. She has never seen the [Agent] face to face, so she can only plan a rough number in her mind based on speculation.
As for the rumored [Pope], Xu Zhi could not give him an accurate positioning, but it must be far beyond 10.
After "eating" several [lamps] and [moths], Xu Zhi's strength has indeed been significantly improved. Even her domain has expanded a lot, and the stable land in the domain is also increasing, not to mention her own strength.
Such progress can be described as rapid. This is of course because she has enough followers to establish an advantage of defeating the strong. Her speed is several times faster than other named people who came here. Even so, Xu Zhi still deeply feels that it is not fast enough and not solid enough.
As long as she doesn't crack the secret of the wooden sign, all these improved strengths will be just castles in the air. She must be faster.
It’s only 3, still a long way to go.
The long day was finally coming to an end. Before midnight, Xu Zhi found a tree to stay under.
Although the trees here all look exactly the same, you can still pick one with a relatively better view and enjoy the sunset, which is somehow particularly gorgeous, during a short break.
It was as if the sun was right nearby, and the sunlight did not need to travel thousands of miles to meet her, so it appeared particularly hot and brilliant. Even the sunset was so dazzling that people could not look directly at it.
Half-sitting on a branch and leaning against the trunk, when the orange-red sunset shone on Xu Zhi, she actually felt a little comforted. The warm sunlight shining on her was as if her mother was gently stroking her cheek with her hand.
Even the temptations that disturbed her day and night in the Lost Land and prevented her from having a moment's peace had weakened at this moment, and Xu Zhi felt drowsy for a rare time.
The fatigue that had accumulated for a long time burst out at this moment, but she did not intend to fall asleep following this gentle breath. She just leaned against the branch with a little relaxation and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
"No wonder those anonymous people haven't gone crazy after staying in such a place for so long. It turns out there are such good things."
Being bathed in the setting sun was no different from a mental massage, as the negative emotions brought on by the killing were almost completely swept away, and Xu Zhi felt that he had been "revived".
The clansmen also enjoyed this benefit, and their originally tired state was slowly recovering, but the speed seemed much slower than Xu Zhi.
The sunset stayed for less than an hour. As the last trace of orange disappeared behind the mountain, Xu Zhi's spirit began to tense up.
It's coming.
She sat up straight from the tree trunk, her back tense and tense, a rare moment of tension.
Since the sun began to set, her palms had been feeling slightly warm, more noticeable than ever before.
It was as if midnight was announcing that this time, she couldn't escape.
Of course, she had no intention of escaping.
When the sun's light completely disappeared and the bright moon climbed up the branches, Xu Zhi saw a scene that made her eyelids jump.
Those trees in the jungle, which originally looked strange but at least had normal colors, all turned black in an instant!
The same color she had seen in the middle of the night!
".hiss."
The breath of midnight swept over at this moment, drowning Xu Zhi. She didn't even need the fog to envelop her. She had already entered midnight without any resistance.
Or rather, she was already standing within the range of midnight and walked into the trap.
The tree she was standing on became a tombstone. Xu Zhi felt that she shouldn't be standing on someone else's grave, so she jumped down from the branch.
She didn't dare to open the [Eye of Prying] easily in the middle of the night, as she might easily see the rules that covered the midnight sky and earth without paying attention.
I don’t know why, but there are so many rules in this place, so many that they are everywhere, but no extraordinary person has ever dared to come to such a place to comprehend the rules, unless they want to risk their life.
The moment midnight arrived, the spiritual body made an excuse to Qi Yanxin that he had something to do, then found a secret place to hide, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on his main body.
And now, the mark on the palm of the original body was emitting a burning breath like a hot iron. Fortunately, Xu Zhi's tolerance for pain was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his expression did not change even a little bit.
What made Xu Zhi feel bad was not the burning mark on his palm, but
Her keen intuition told her that it was dangerous, very dangerous.
Where does the danger come from?
From anywhere!
The things under her feet, above her head, in front of her, behind her, and even the trees beside her and the soil under her feet were all baring their fangs at her!
An oppressive atmosphere came from all directions. In Xu Zhi's sight, the trees and their reflections seemed to have become slender ghosts, approaching her little by little without leaving a trace. Xu Zhi's intuition told her not to be caught by them!
But where can she escape to?
Trees were everywhere in the midnight. Not only the trees and reflections beside her were pressing towards her, but all the trees and reflections around her, and even in the midnight, were leaning towards her!
An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped Xu Zhi. Her subconscious and intuition kept reminding her to escape. Xu Zhi let Xiao Zhen fly in the midnight sky, and with Xiao Zhen's guidance, she quickly dodged the pursuit from the trees and shadows.
In the middle of the night, she was completely unable to replenish her extraordinary energy, and the consumption seemed to be more intense than usual. Even her followers were affected by the aura of midnight and their strength weakened. Only Maomao was completely unaffected.
"You have to be careful. There are not only trees in the midnight, but also countless things buried in the midnight."
The nightmare followed Xu Zhi around, shielding her from some of the ghosts. Then, through her consciousness, she conveyed to Xu Zhi, "Those things are driven by midnight. You may not be able to defeat them. Even if you can, they will be enough to wear you down."
As the black cat finished speaking, as if to confirm its words, the soil under the tree closest to Xu Zhi suddenly turned over, and then a rotten hand stretched out from the ground. The owner of the hand seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the rotten flesh had almost withered away, with only a few pieces of spirit still hanging on the bones.
Xu Zhi's eyes jumped when he saw this: "You must be joking. This is midnight, not a zombie movie set!"
What's worse, she felt a supernatural aura from the skeleton with only one hand exposed. What crawled out was not just bones, but even a "supernatural being"!
