After completing the promotion, Xu Zhi immediately took the little alien to the depths of the Lost Land, fearing that something would smell the scent and chase them.
After reaching the middle layer, the traces of modern civilization have dissipated a lot compared to the outermost layer. When riding the dog all the way to the deeper layer, you can find that there are fewer and fewer traces of human beings. Even those tall buildings seem to have disappeared.
The deeper she got, the more Xu Zhi could feel the ever-present attraction of the lost land becoming stronger and stronger. However, her followers seemed unable to sense this attraction, and only she was troubled by it.
This feeling was very strange, as if deep down, there was something she particularly wanted, or as if she felt that she had lost something important but could not remember it. Her thoughts were completely focused on this attraction, and it was difficult for her to be distracted and think about anything else.
Thanks to this wonderful attraction, she can easily judge whether she is heading deeper rather than outward.
The Lost Land is not just an unchanging forest. It is said that some places are deserts, some places are plains, or there are caves all over the ground, and there is a huge ocean. Xu Zhi is not curious about these places, and the area she entered deep into happened to be a mountain range. The endless mountains seemed to have no end, and poisonous insects, snakes and ants could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, Xu Zhi was not an ordinary person, otherwise she would not know how she died in this rainforest.
As another mountain was climbed, the scene in front of Xu Zhi suddenly opened up.
It's not that we have reached a place like a plain, but that there are no longer mountains ahead, but an endless, abnormal jungle.
Why is it abnormal? Because in front of the mountain, there is only one kind of tree growing in the seemingly endless jungle. Xu Zhi cannot tell the species of this tree. She often read books when she was in the Federation and she was not picky about what books she read. Naturally, she has read books about tree types, but none of them can match the jungle in front of her.
Xu Zhi suddenly thought of the strange trees he saw at midnight. Although they were not similar, they were similar in one respect: these trees were quite dense and there was only one species. When Xu Zhi looked down from a high place, he found that every tree in this endless jungle looked exactly the same.
Even the height is accurate.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a jungle that grew naturally.
Xu Zhi felt something was a little strange, especially since this jungle seemed somewhat similar to midnight.
No, it wasn't just midnight. She remembered the scene when she entered a big dream while she was sleeping. It had some indescribable similarities with the endless jungle in front of her.
What was even more terrible was that Xu Zhi felt that he could not take his eyes off the jungle, and even his feet were eager to enter the jungle, as if he could get some treasure by crossing the jungle.
She could hardly contain her restless heart and eager body.
The palms of her hands were slightly warm, a warning from midnight. The air around her was filled with abundant extraordinary energy. The dazzling sun hung high in the sky, bringing gentle sunshine and unspeakable comfort. Xu Zhi had a premonition that as long as she walked down and into the jungle, she could enter the depths of the Lost Land.
However, before entering the Lost Land, she had to pass through a very "unnatural" place.
There is a narrow path leading to the jungle, right in front of Xu Zhi. Following the path, you will pass by a dilapidated thatched house, and then you can enter the jungle.
This kind of man-made trace is not normal in the depths of the Lost Land, not to mention...
Xu Zhi had tried to avoid this abnormal path, but no matter which direction she went, the road seemed to move and follow her feet. No matter what, she seemed to have to step on this path to enter the jungle.
"That's really strange."
Xu Zhi's stubbornness suddenly came out and said, "If you insist on me leaving, then I'm really going to try not to leave."
She tried to take a step into the air to avoid the road, but when she walked forward and approached the path, she felt a strong gravity and attraction that pulled her down from the sky without any explanation.
Fortunately, Xu Zhi has a strong ability to balance, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his face.
However, even Xiao Zhen, who was originally flying high in the sky, seemed to be under some oppression at this moment and had to land to a position around Xu Zhi's head.
Seeing this, the girl could only sigh regretfully and compromise. She had tried, but this road seemed to be the only way she had to take, so she stopped struggling.
This situation seemed somewhat similar to what she encountered in the big dream when she was promoted to [Name]. There was also a road with a house in front, but it was not exactly the same.
At least, Xu Zhi did not feel anything wrong when she walked on this narrow path. She even felt as if something was cleansing her soul and body, and this cleansing would not hurt her. It seemed that it was just removing unnecessary things from her body.
For example, all the circuit scrolls she brought with her had become ineffective, and similar "external possessions" had almost all lost their effect on the trail.
Xu Zhi suddenly thought of the prosthetic bodies that almost everyone in Liancheng had. Wouldn’t they be useless when they came here?
Not only will it be useless, it may even become a burden.
"Didn't those extraordinary people from Liancheng who went into the depths of the Lost Land warn them after returning?"
Or is it that those extraordinary people either don't want to remind or are unable to remind?
The more Xu Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that Liancheng was a very powerful place, and the popularity of prosthetic bodies in Liancheng must have been supported by the parliament. What was the president thinking?
For Xu Zhi, this narrow path was easy to walk on, and the "external possessions" that were removed were not important to her in the first place, so naturally there was no loss at all.
After completing this journey, the only power a transcendent can use is his own.
Fortunately, her clan is also considered a part of her and will not be eliminated.
Soon, Xu Zhi walked to the door of the thatched hut. The hut was not built in the middle of the path, but on the side of the road, so it seemed that it didn't matter whether people came in or not.
Xu Zhi thought about it and pushed the door open and walked in.
After entering, nothing strange happened. There was only an ordinary-looking table in the thatched hut, and on the table were eight wooden signs of different colors.
Just by looking at the color, you can tell immediately that this should represent extraordinary properties.
And on the table, there is a line of words.
【Choose a piece of property that belongs to you. 】
Xu Zhi raised his brows slightly, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and picked up the wooden sign whose color represented "light". After he completely picked up the wooden sign, it suddenly turned into a spot of light and dissipated into Xu Zhi's body. Then, it was as if nothing had happened. There was neither anything extra in his body nor any discomfort.
If I had to say it, it would probably feel like there’s an extra “invisible pendant”?
She could make the wooden sign appear in her hand at any time, but from what she could sense, it seemed to have no effect.
Xu Zhi felt something was strange, but she did not stop. Instead, she ignored the words on the table and raised her hand to pick up another wooden sign belonging to [Moth].
Are you kidding? If it says choose one, then you really only take one?
Are we all not so honest?
However, she picked up the first piece with ease, but when she picked up the second piece of wood with the [Moth] attribute, Xu Zhi felt it was heavy. The piece of wood seemed to be stuck to the table. Even though her strength had reached the monster level, she could not pick it up easily. She tried to smash the table, but it was impossible.
Then, when she output the extraordinary energy of the [Moth] attribute, the sign became lighter.
Just like the wooden sign of [Lamp], after being picked up, it turned into bursts of light and merged into the body and dissipated.
Xu Zhi intuitively felt that this thing would definitely be useful, but she didn't know what it was used for. However, since it was a useful thing, why not take more?
With this idea in mind, Xu Zhi reached out to the wooden signs with the attributes of [Blade], [Winter], [Cast], and [Cup].
With the help of her family, she easily took away these tags and gained a few invisible pendants. When the light spots of these tags merged into her body, Xu Zhi vaguely felt some attribute conflicts. Fortunately, she was able to transfer the tags to her family, dissipating the slight discomfort caused by this attribute conflict.
Finally, only [Heart] and [Inspiration] were left. She had no way to take shortcuts and use extraordinary energy to pick up these two, but Xu Zhi did not want to give up.
After all, we're here.
So there was no shortcut left, and Xu Zhi began to break the remaining two signs. This was not an easy task. The bottoms of these two ordinary-looking wooden signs seemed to be tightly attached to the table as if by some powerful magnets. Even if Xu Zhi used all his strength, he could only move their corners a little distance away from the table.
The blue veins on her forehead and neck were enough to show how much effort Xu Zhi had put in. She hadn't exerted so much strength in many years. When she finally lifted the corner of a wooden sign to a finger's distance from the table, she felt the sudden increase in gravity. In order to avoid wasting all her efforts and to exert more force, Xu Zhi made up her mind and directly stuffed her fingers into the gap between the wooden sign and the table!
She has never hesitated to be a little cruel to herself in order to achieve her goals.
The moment the finger was inserted, the gravity just increased. When the wooden sign fell back slightly, Xu Zhi heard the sound of broken finger bones.
Fingers are connected to the heart, and having fingers crushed is definitely not a pleasant experience, but Xu Zhi remained calm, and even took advantage of the pain to exert force again, gritting his teeth and completely pulling the wooden sign representing the [Qi] attribute off the table!
When the wooden sign left the table, Xu Zhi's fingers that were pressed down were already unsightly. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and she was ruthless and reaped the rewards.
[Qi] turned into a spot of light and merged into her body. Because she had no relatives with the [Qi] attribute, she could only bear the discomfort brought by the slight attribute conflict by herself. Fortunately, the [Qi] attribute brought by the light spot was very little, so the attribute conflict did not break out. At most, it was just some discomfort caused by rejection.
Xu Zhi felt a little exhausted after pulling up a wooden sign. The strange thing was that in this thatched hut, her strength recovered very slowly. She didn't even feel her strength recovering, but her finger bones had healed themselves long ago.
"It seems to be a means of restriction."
But even if she lost her own strength, doesn’t she still have her family?
With the help of her clansmen and after sacrificing a few finger bones, Xu Zhi pulled out the last wooden plaque with the attribute of [Heart]. Finally, all the plaques on the wooden table were pulled out by her.
Looking at the clean desktop, a wonderful sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously. Although I don’t know what the wooden sign will be used for, and whether it is worth the hard work, the feeling of plucking feathers from a passing goose is really great!
After a round of inspection, Xu Zhi found that there was indeed nothing else in the thatched hut, so he walked out and continued walking towards the jungle.
After leaving the thatched hut, they were actually close to the entrance of the jungle. After taking a few steps, Xu Zhi stepped into this strange jungle.
As soon as she entered, Xu Zhi fell into a trance. Firstly, the temptation from the lost place suddenly intensified, and she almost struggled to stay awake. Secondly, she felt that they were somewhat similar when she looked at them from the outside, and they looked even more alike when she entered.
It feels like midnight and also like a long night.
In a trance and with the strong temptation of loss, Xu Zhi seemed to be trapped in the environment at this moment, mistakenly thinking that she had entered Mansu. She heard the call from the sky beside her ears, and seemed to see the candlelight in the sky when she was still vulnerable in the Federation.
But it was different from that time. She felt that the candlelight was very far away, and she was a tiny moth. Now, she felt that the candlelight was very close, so close that she only needed to take a few steps forward to
Unconsciously, his forward steps were suddenly tripped, and the feeling of weightlessness brought by the fall made the environment in front of Xu Zhi suddenly dissipate like smoke, and then reality appeared before his eyes.
She was still in the jungle, and it was the branches of the small alien species that tripped her. When she was about to fall to the ground, the small alien species caught her again.
After breaking free from the environment, the temptation that was so strong that Xu Zhi even fell into a trance and couldn't think when she first entered the jungle seemed to have weakened a little. Or, it could be said that after she broke free once, her resistance was strengthened a little, and now she was able to regain her rationality and think.
"Well done." She first praised the little alien, and then carefully observed the jungle.
The first impression Xu Zhi had was that it was very quiet. It was not dead silence, but the quietness of a place where there were no living creatures. Being in it would only make one feel peaceful, but not too dangerous.
Secondly, these trees are indeed abnormal.
The unusualness can be seen more clearly when viewed up close. The branches of the tree seem to be of similar size and texture, but the color is a normal color, not black, which makes Xu Zhi relax a little.
You can't see the end of the jungle from a high vantage point, and once you enter it, it seems endless.
Fortunately, "temptation" can guide her in the direction of progress.
But when Xu Zhi looked back with a slight feeling, she discovered that she was no longer at the entrance of the jungle. Behind her was not the narrow path and the thatched house, but a jungle that was no different from the one in front of her.
When did she get here?
Is it in the environment?
It shouldn’t be like that. If that were the case, the clan members wouldn’t have let her go so far.
That's what's wrong with this jungle.
Just then, Xu Zhi heard some noise coming from the front, as if there was someone?
I had a sudden illness yesterday, so I couldn't update. Sorry
