Xie Zhou seemed to understand, but not quite.
In this place filled with resentment, finding the spot with the heaviest and densest resentment is quite simple; just head towards the place with the most black mist.
The problem now is that the more resentment there is, the greater the impact on Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian's minds. It's not that Xie Zhou doesn't want to go find the Death Spirit Pearl, but rather that her fate is inherently weak, and her strength isn't that great. Going there rashly would be tantamount to courting death!
"What methods can I use to obtain the Necromancer's Orb?"
Before the system could finish answering, Xie Zhou asked another question.
"This...the Death Spirit Orb is an extremely evil and wicked object, but no matter what, it is still a treasure. Since it is a treasure, we can just drip a drop of our heart's blood on it."
The system continued speaking.
"Is it really that simple?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat skeptical.
"That's for sure. Don't you trust me?"
The system is a little unhappy.
"Since the Death Spirit Orb is the foundation of this world, wouldn't obtaining it grant control over it?"
Xie Zhou had a sudden inspiration and asked another question.
"Pah! With your current strength, you think you can control this space? Aren't you afraid of exploding and dying instantly?!"
The system immediately poured cold water on Xie Zhou's hopes.
"At most, you can only gain some control over this world. For example, if you want to come in, you can come in, and if you want to leave, you can leave."
The system explained it to Xie Zhou in plain language.
"That's fine too."
Xie Zhou was secretly plotting something.
"Senior brother, just now in that illusion, I seemed to have glimpsed a bit of the rules of this world."
Luo Fantian would definitely not agree to Xie Zhou heading towards the place with the most resentment, so Xie Zhou could only make up some stories to convince Luo Fantian first.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Fantian immediately became interested.
"The reason why this world can transmit energy fluctuations to our side is because there is a bead here that specifically controls death energy, called the Death Bead."
Xie Zhou's eyes darted around, and he immediately started talking.
"The Death Orb?"
Luo Fantian did indeed ask a question.
"That's right, if we want to leave this world, we need to find this Death Orb and make it recognize us as its master!"
Xie Zhou blurted out everything in one go.
"But an illusion is just an illusion. What if this illusion is a lie and leads us into an even more dangerous situation?"
Luo Fantian was thoughtful and did not get carried away as soon as he heard that this thing could get out.
He thought about all aspects of it.
“Senior brother, think about it. We’re trapped in this Death Forest. If we move forward, we don’t know what dangers await us, and we’re walking aimlessly. But if we head towards the Death Orb, at least we’ll have a sliver of hope, won’t we?”
Xie Zhou was trying his best to persuade Luo Fantian.
"but……"
"Danger, I know what you're thinking, senior brother. You're worried that you can't protect me, but in this death forest filled with resentment, who can guarantee 100% safety?"
Xie Zhou, with his quick wit and silver tongue, soon persuaded Luo Fantian.
"Alright, then let's go find the Death Orb."
Along the way, Luo Fantian and Xie Zhou kept traveling towards the place with the heaviest resentment, not knowing how much time had passed.
As Xie Zhou walked, goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.
Luo Fantian felt the same way; goosebumps rose all over his body, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
"You little brat, I just let you go, why did you come here to seek your own death!"
The voice was so familiar.
"Scarface! You are the scarface from my illusion!"
Xie Zhou's pupils contracted sharply. What was in front of him was not the scarred man at all, but a talking black mist.
"Foolish humans! Get out of my place right now! What are you doing here!"
The scarred man charged straight at Xie Zhou, but Xie Zhou was no longer the frail man he had been in the previous environment. He easily dodged the attack of the black mist.
"Wow, you, you... how did you become so agile!"
"Please! I'm naturally agile. That stupid dream doesn't suit me at all. Take this!"
Xie Zhou truly hated the scarred man, and immediately went up and set the black smoke ablaze twice.
I'll burn you to death! I'll burn you to death!
Xie Zhou angrily blew at the intangible black smoke, but he couldn't get a good feel for it.
"Foolish humans! Behold my power!"
As she spoke, the black smoke shot out a mental attack, which Xie Zhou detected first and blocked with her powerful mental strength.
"Hehehe, you can stay in the illusion I created for you forever. I don't believe that if I give you enough temptation, you won't be swayed by it!"
The black smoke thought Xie Zhou had fallen for a trap, and chuckled as it uttered those two sentences.
That's it?
Xie Zhou was eager to get started.
"No wonder spiritual attacks have no effect on you; it turns out only mental attacks work!"
Without saying a word, Xie Zhou shot out a beam of mental energy.
The once vibrant black smoke dissipated significantly after being hit by this wave of spiritual energy.
"I'll teach you to be arrogant, now I'll see how arrogant you really are!"
Xie Zhou's lips curled into a smile.
"This...this is impossible...you...your mental strength is so powerful, why were you controlled by me just now?"
The black smoke was quite defiant, and it looked at Xie Zhou and questioned him again.
"Is this something you should know right now?! Just do as I say!"
As he spoke, Xie Zhou pointed to the dark, unremarkable bead beside him.
"Senior brother, I'll watch it from here. You should quickly make this Death Orb your own, just use the first drop of blood!"
Xie Zhou watched the black smoke, preventing it from moving.
"good!"
Luo Fantian did not refuse. He bit his middle finger and then lowered it directly onto the Death Spirit Orb.
"No, no! This can't be done! He hasn't passed the test of the Necromancer's Orb; he can't do it!"
The plume of black smoke was muttering something under its breath.
"Shut your filthy mouth! You're in my hands now, what tricks can you possibly pull?"
Xie Zhou immediately shut up the black smoke.
But it turns out that things are not like that.
After dripping blood, Luo Fantian's expression turned ferocious, and a murderous aura emanated from his entire body.
"What... what's going on? Isn't it usually enough to recognize a master with the first drop of blood?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat anxious. She tried to touch Luo Fantian with her hand, but was blocked by an unknown energy.
