Chapter 410 429. Mastering the Rules
After these days of hunting, Xu Zhi has accumulated enough extraordinary energy. There is no such thing as an "unstable foundation" for extraordinary people. As much extraordinary energy as you can absorb, it will all be yours.
However, the efficiency of absorbing extraordinary energy from the air is extremely low, the core is too expensive, and the amount of extraordinary energy that each extraordinary person can absorb every day is limited. There has never been anyone like Xu Zhi whose appetite is so big that it is almost insatiable. Therefore, even here, the promotion of the named ones is limited.
Only Xu Zhi was like a hungry wolf that could never be fed. Recently, the atmosphere in the forest had become extremely grim. Even in a place where information was not widely circulated, most people knew that there was a "non-picky" hunter here.
As soon as they see a woman with a supernatural creature, the other party will run away immediately. This has led to a significant decrease in the probability of Xu Zhi encountering people in recent days. Fortunately, she no longer needs these prey for the time being.
She has reached the [threshold] of contacting the rules. After thoroughly understanding and mastering the rules, she no longer needs to absorb ordinary extraordinary energy to improve herself. The power of rules is a more powerful extraordinary ability, much stronger than hunting in the forest. In the future, she only needs to seek more rules.
Tonight, now that she has made all necessary preparations, she will try to fully master this new power.
When night fell, Xu Zhi arrived at midnight again. Since that day, the guy who moved the eternal lamp on her grave never appeared again. Xu Zhi didn't know what the other party was thinking, but she just thought about it and put an apple next to the eternal lamp.
The magical thing is that after leaving the preservation circuit engraved in the ring space, the apple in Midnight did not rot for a long time, as if Midnight itself had its own "preservation" function.
This apple was her response to the "friendly" signal released by the other party. Although she didn't know why the other party no longer appeared, Xu Zhi never thought of taking the apple away. Instead, she always felt that they might meet one day.
When the atmosphere of midnight filled the entire jungle, Xu Zhi finally let down his guard a little and was no longer tense. His clansmen also changed their vigilance during the day. Knowing that the night was safe and there was nothing to do, they all found a place near Xu Zhi to rest.
Xu Zhi also noticed the change in his attitude towards Midnight, from being wary before to feeling like he was back home now. All this was just because she had added a grave inside.
"I really made a wise decision."
However, the rules of midnight were far more complicated than she had imagined, as if they were vast and boundless, which was enough to show how special this place was. What she knew so far was only a part of midnight. It would probably take her some time to read all the rules, let alone understand them.
But now there is a shortcut. After understanding the rules of the wooden sign, she has a foundation, and it should be easier to comprehend the rules of midnight.
Xu Zhi took out eight wooden tablets and put them together. With the advice from [Deng], she did not plan to proceed step by step. After opening [Eyes of Prying Eyes], Xu Zhi memorized all the fragments of rules in the remaining wooden tablets in her mind. Then, she closed her eyes and tried to use the array plate given by [Deng] as an introduction. She connected all the rules in these wooden tablets together and began to analyze them.
Originally, before [Deng]'s reminder, Xu Zhi already had a vague feeling about the rules of the wooden signs. Now with an additional introduction, she felt that the window paper between her and the rules would be opened.
She tried to look out of the hole, and a strong light seemed to flash before her eyes. Then, when her "eyes" gradually adapted, she saw a vast scenery that she had never seen before.
It was a landscape constructed by the purest power and authority in the world, the authority to control the heavens and the earth, and the power to change the world. However, what she saw now was only a small part of it.
But it was only a small part. When she tried to tear open the small hole and reached out to grab the power, Xu Zhi found that this was not an easy task.
She needs to first understand the meaning of their existence in her mind, know what they look like, understand why they change, and finally "read" their names, so that she can hold these seemingly intangible things in her hands.
This is undoubtedly a difficult process. Although there is a way to guide Xu Zhi, all the remaining problems need to be solved by herself.
This is equivalent to asking someone who has just learned 1+1=2 to directly solve a math problem that is very difficult even for excellent students.
Logically speaking, this is almost impossible to do, but the person who did it was Xu Zhi.
Her brain was working rapidly, and the extraordinary circuits in her body were glowing and fluctuating with her breathing. As the extraordinary energy in her body circulated rapidly, her bones and blood seemed to emit a faint white glow. It seemed to be the light of the fragments she had absorbed, but now it had become a part of Xu Zhi.
It was difficult at the beginning. Xu Zhi spent a lot of mental and brain power, and even extraordinary abilities, before she gradually understood the first "word", or the prototype of the rule. But after the beginning, it was as if she was assisted by God. She felt that she was rapidly understanding the rules in the wooden sign. One by one, unknown but magical words emerged from her mind. These were the prototypes of the rules contained in the wooden sign.
Xu Zhi was immersed in this "understanding". She couldn't even feel the passage of time. Even the consciousness of her spiritual body became slightly blurred, as if she was immersed in a dream. Fortunately, she had anticipated early on that her spiritual body might be involved, and had asked her spiritual body to find a place to lie down and rot in advance.
As she continued to understand the rules of the wooden sign, Xu Zhi discovered that her flesh and blood and circuits seemed to be resonating with the newly understood rules, which allowed her to better grasp this new power. She only needed to concentrate on understanding it. Once she understood it, mastering it was not a problem at all. Once she broke through the barriers and truly touched those rules, it was as if she had encountered some natural enemy, and she became incredibly obedient.
It was impossible for Xu Zhi not to notice this, and she also had some guesses about it in her mind. Perhaps it was the role played by that piece of debris.
As he mastered more and more rules and vocabulary, Xu Zhi's aura continued to rise, which was several times faster than hunting in the Lost Land!
However, even if the midnight night was prolonged, one night was not enough for her to fully master the rules contained in the wooden sign. But with her family guarding her during the day, Xu Zhi did not want to waste time, so she immersed herself in contemplation day and night.
In the blink of an eye, seven days and nights in the Lost Land had passed, and almost a month had passed in the outside world. Xu Zhi's comprehension of the rules of the wooden sign had finally come to an end.
Now, her aura is infinitely close to that of a modern walker. As long as she can thoroughly understand and master all the rules in the wooden sign, she will be able to become a powerful person who is at least not much different from an agent in terms of extraordinary level.
However, according to rumors, the establishment of an agent requires guidance from the "gods", but Xu Zhi has no interest in this.
After all, an agent has many responsibilities, and she doesn't want to shoulder any of them.
Xu Zhi felt that the end would come at night. Thanks to her bad reputation in the jungle, people would often run away when they saw her clan members. Even during the day, her comprehension process was not disrupted at all. People in the outside world were still keeping their distance from Liancheng because of the gods' orders, but the trouble of the fog had already made the world chaotic, and solving the fog was imminent.
As Xu Zhi continued to comprehend the few remaining rules, her body was also undergoing some changes. The girl's upright figure seemed to be surrounded by an invisible pressure. There was silence all around, and although there was no wind, the sand and gravel on the ground were rolling quietly. The most eye-catching thing was that her originally light gray pupils turned golden at this moment. Her pupils seemed to be unfocused, and it seemed as if she was looking at some place that was beyond the reach of reality.
The clansmen seemed to sense something and fell to the ground in a gesture of submission to Xu Zhi. Even the eternal lamp hanging on the tomb built with her spirit body was shaking slightly, and the wick seemed to burn more vigorously than usual.
Under the illumination of the swaying eternal lamp, the shadows of the trees on the graves also swayed, as if coming alive.
The moment Xu Zhi understood the last "word," the jungle seemed to sense what she had done and began to vibrate. The midnight mist also began to flow. The bright moon in the night sky shed its purest moonlight at this moment. The moonlight fell directly on Xu Zhi, illuminating the girl's slender figure and golden pupils.
There was clearly nothing in his pupils, yet they seemed to be filled with the most coveted power.
Xu Zhi only felt that her flesh and blood had undergone tremendous changes in this instant. A large amount of power belonging to the rules poured into her body. The first to take action were naturally her several innate circuits. They were like the most greedy jackals, not being picky about food at all, and absorbed these power of rules into their own bodies to strengthen and expand the circuits themselves. Xu Zhi's body was not to be outdone, and she skillfully snatched away the power of rules that the circuits did not have time to absorb, and then integrated it into her flesh and blood.
It seemed as if every part of her body had grown densely packed "mouths", which constantly tore into pieces, chewed, swallowed, and completely transformed the new power she had just acquired into a part of her.
Xu Zhi herself was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the power of rules would have such a miserable end after entering her body.
Her mental power was not to be outdone and wanted to get a piece of the pie. Even her clansmen seemed to have received some kind of blessing. This was natural, after all, the [Light] attribute circuit took away the most rule power.
This kind of "wolfing" lasted almost the entire night before it stopped. It was not because her body and circuits were full, but because all the power of rules was eaten up this time!
".Do I have such a good digestion?"
Xu Zhi doubted her life for a moment. These were rules created by at least seven agents, and she had digested them all in such a short time?
But on second thought, didn’t she “eat up” even the more powerful rules in a very strange way?
I guess no one would have thought that "rules" could be treated in such a primitive way.
All I can say is that at that time, the time, the place, and the people were all on Xu Zhi's side, which is why she was able to achieve her goal by chance.
At the moment when the "digestion" was completed, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the quiet midnight. It seemed that a bell rang in Xu Zhi's ears, and it was like a gray moth flew into the midnight. The tomb belonging to Xu Zhi had quietly undergone some changes, and the eternal lamp hanging on it was blown by the wind, and its wick had become brighter. Even Xu Zhi could clearly feel that he was different from before.
To put it bluntly, she felt that it had become "harder to die." This seemed like a very abstract concept, but it did feel that way to her. To put it another way, she probably felt that her life level had been elevated. Although she hadn't taken a big step forward, she was indeed climbing upwards.
The effect of the improvement in life level is very obvious. Xu Zhi even feels that her flesh and blood is no longer flesh and blood, but an aggregate of energy. She is afraid that if a drop of blood dripping from her body is given to a low-level transcendent to absorb, it can allow the other party to be promoted to the next level.
After all, her body is imbued with power that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In addition, the power of rules has made her extraordinary abilities even stronger than before. Her extraordinary affinity, which was already far beyond that of ordinary people, has increased again. If she were to test it now, she would probably get a shocking result.
The result of such a high level of affinity was that Xu Zhi felt that he was somewhat familiar with the rules of midnight.
Extraordinary affinity is the most common and important trait. [Extraordinary] refers to all extraordinary powers. Even [Glow] itself is an [extraordinary power]. Naturally, [Rules] are no exception.
She was somewhat surprised. With these improvements, comprehending the rules of midnight was no longer a long and seemingly endless task.
And at the moment she was surprised, an extreme pulling force almost made Xu Zhi lose consciousness!
It was a temptation from the lost land that I had never felt at midnight!
The long-lost voice suddenly reappeared in Xu Zhi's ears, and this time, it became more urgent, constantly inducing and begging Xu Zhi to follow its guidance to the deepest part.
Even midnight could no longer block out that temptation. Xu Zhi was extremely surprised. What was in the depths of the Lost Land?
Why did she crave that thing so much?
Is it because of her talent?
Sooner or later, she would have to go and see.
Now, she has mastered all the abilities of the [Wooden Sign].
She can now sense the location, level, and status of all named persons who possess wooden tokens, and can take back their wooden tokens at any time, or issue more wooden tokens. She can even sense more information about the other party through the wooden tokens, and directly collect the energy "deposited" in the wooden tokens.
"really."
The power snatched from other wooden token holders will pass through the wooden token, and then the energy is only "temporarily borrowed" by the wooden token and does not really belong to the extraordinary person.
Xu Zhi was not surprised by this. She had long guessed that the "owner" of the wooden sign could do this. This was a large farm, and the named people who came here continuously produced more extraordinary energy for the farmer.
Now that she has mastered the rules of the wooden sign, she has jumped out of the livestock on the farm and become one of the farmers.
However, when Xu Zhi had the idea of "taking away all the energy here", she immediately felt a huge pressure like a mountain pressing down on her head.
Xu Zhi looked up in surprise. The gold in her pupils had quietly disappeared, leaving only a few scattered golden lights falling into the depths of her light gray pupils. At this moment, she was surprised that the agents who created the wooden sign were already dead, but why did she still feel such tremendous pressure, as if if she really did it, death would come in the next second.
Unless, behind this ranch, there is a master who is far superior to the agent, and who else could that person be?
"Is this actually a pasture belonging to the gods?"
But, doesn’t it mean that gods no longer need ordinary supernatural energy, and only compete to see who has more power of rules and who is closer to the glow?
Why do they use the hands of agents to keep these named ones captive and gather them together to fight and kill each other?
And now, Xu Zhi can confirm that her original strength should be comparable to that of the agent, but when facing that pressure, she can also clearly feel that she may not be able to withstand it.
The agent said it nicely, the right hand of God, but in reality, Xu Zhi felt that the God might only need one finger to crush him to death.
