Hao Ze took the knife and walked in front of a rat that fell on its side.

He crouched down and used a knife to cut open its head little by little, taking out the blood-stained crystal nucleus.

It's also strange to say, when the alien beasts were alive, the protection measures for the crystal nucleus were the strictest, and the braincases were strong and terrifying, after all, because that was the source of their power. But after death, no matter how strong the once strong defense was, it will collapse all at once, and it doesn't take much effort to make it easy for people to get the crystal nucleus.

Maybe it's a kind of reincarnation.

Hao Ze looked at the small and beautiful crystal, wiped the blood stains on it with a handkerchief, and then threw it into his backpack.

He looked at the little corpses left on the ground, took a slight breath, and squatted down again.

It should be ...... Adapt, right?

He is a "weak modern man", and he is not an ordinary person who is not a strong man in the eyes of modern people. Although in many places, it seems that it is not unimaginable for a man to slaughter a chicken and duck, kill a pig or cow, but for Hao Ze, this is the first time.

If you want to talk about what he has done in the past related to "killing", it is estimated that it is only a naughty thing that can only be done when he was a child, such as stepping on two ants, killing two caterpillars, and picking a few wild flowers.

Although there are all kinds of meat products that are inseparable from daily life, after all, it is the product of other people's hands, and compared with killing by one's own hands, I always feel that there is something missing.

Hao Ze stood up, counted the crystal nuclei, and stuffed them all into his backpack.

"What about these corpses?"

Hao Ze asked 521 softly.

"Just put it here, naturally someone will come to clean up the aftermath."

As soon as he had finished answering, he saw a circle of large black birds hovering above their heads, some of which had fallen boldly and began to eat.

"Look."

521 said with a smile.

Hao Ze saw that his worries were superfluous, so he nodded, put on his cloak, and walked forward.

"How did you feel about your first real battle?"

521 asked, thinking that he could practice these spells so skillfully and fluently in such a short amount of time, but he was also a genius, and his talent was definitely enough.

Hao Ze looked at his fingers, and there was a feeling of unreality.

The hand was clenched into a fist, and when it was released, a small cloud-like wheal appeared in the palm of the palm. He clenched his fist again, and then released it, and the wheal changed color according to his wishes.

Finally, he put his hand close to his face, and with a gentle blow, the wheal was like a fluttering dandelion, scattering into countless small umbrellas, which drifted away with the wind without a trace.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly, "Not bad." ”

"That's ...... good," 521 replied.

After all, this is just the beginning.

"Congratulations on a good start." 521 said, "I'll give you a small gift." ”

"Oh?"

Hao Ze raised his eyebrows.

"Just be careful, the trick of turning green when you encounter a strange beast and turning blue when you encounter a contract beast is still very helpful to you."

After that, a simple ring fell from the sky, and Hao Ze caught it at once. After looking at it, he put it on his hand.

It seems that there are more jewelry on his body......

"Thank you."

But no matter what, Hao Ze still thanked him.

And this little thing is indeed useful, because the crystal nucleus is only in the mind of the alien beast, and if he kills the contract beast by mistake, it will be of little use to him.

"Remember, don't be too soft-hearted, the creatures here won't be so light on extinction."

"I'm running out of time, so I'll see you next time, Host."

Hao Ze was used to the elusiveness of 521, so he was not surprised by this, said goodbye, and embarked on the journey again.

This time it's a real, one-man journey.

There are seven or eight people hugging the thick old tree that grows silently in the jungle, and the leaves are shining in the sun. Leaves that are much larger than the face are layered on top of each other, creating countless natural barriers.

Hao Ze took his notebook, sat on a thick branch, covered himself with leaves, nibbled on unknown wild fruits, and frowned.

It's the fourth day.

His current location is probably in the middle of the forest, and he has seen a lot of unknown creatures, most of which he has drawn with pen and paper from memory, and when he has time, he compares it with the textbooks he got in the elective class, which can be regarded as giving himself some insight.

In the past few days, Hao Ze has obtained enough low-level crystal nuclei to lose, and the boxy ones have formed a small mountain bag, while there is not a single medium-level crystal nucleus.

The method of distinguishing the level of crystal nucleus is also simple, the first is to identify by the type of its body, and the second is to look at the shape of the crystal nucleus.

The lower level is diamond-shaped, the intermediate level is round, the higher level is star-shaped, and so on.

His goal now was not to find a mid-level alien beast to fight him, but to find a lake that 521 had sued him.

Hearing that there were "divine beasts" there, Hao Ze wanted to try his luck.

But...... Where the hell is the lake!?

Hao Ze threw his notebook angrily.

521 just told him to go straight, and he didn't say anything else, it was just like.

Besides, this road is all forests, and he often looks around, and it is estimated that he has long since deviated from the original route.

Hao Ze quickly climbed to the top of the tree with his hands and feet, and looked into the distance.

The mountains are full of green, interspersed with purple and red, colorful, but there is nothing related to the lake.

Hao Ze sighed, and just as he was about to leave, he felt a dizziness in front of him, as if he heard the sound of gurgling water.

Hao Ze rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and saw a forest sink rapidly, and then, the blue lake water gushed out, irrigating the missing piece of land.

This broad daylight...... I don't think there will be any illusions.

Hao Ze felt that although he was really sleepy at noon sometimes, he didn't think he could be sleepy like this!?

Although his sleep quality in the past two days is really average......

Hao Ze naturally wouldn't regard such a strange phenomenon as an illusion, even if it was really an illusion, he would rush over to find out.

Hao Ze jumped neatly with one hand on the branch, and the long black cloak flew up, like a long-winged bird.

At the moment he landed, Hao Ze snapped his fingers lightly, and countless small wheals appeared out of thin air and attached to his body.

Hao Ze ran, because of the blessing of his own spells, he ran faster, as if he really turned into a member of the wind, which made people unable to see clearly.

Because it was not far away, it didn't take a few minutes for Hao Ze to arrive at the lake that appeared out of thin air.

The water of the lake is crystal clear, flat and waveless, translucent like a huge crystal, and you can even see it in a very deep place, where the original forest is hidden.

Hao Ze was impressed by such a scene, and froze in place, slightly distracted.

Whether it is the magic of nature or the work of the aunt, it is really amazing.

The winged fish swim in circles in the water, as big as a human body, and as small as half a finger.

Red as fire, blue as ice, white as snow, and black as ink.

It's like a brightly colored painting on porcelain, and the beauty is amazing.

Several huge water lilies, as thin as paper, bloomed on the surface of the water like fire, but in blue tones.

It seems to be a crystal of water plants swaying under the water, blue and purple, dazzling.

It's like a girl's whimsical dream.

Hao Ze seemed to be attracted, and involuntarily walked forward.

After walking a few steps, Hao Ze suddenly felt a hot sensation in his neck, suddenly woke up, and looked ahead-

Several fish of various sizes leaped out of the water, spread their wings, and opened their mouths, revealing their fangs like countless knives, ready to go, as if waiting for a big meal.

Hao Ze stepped back in shock.

Underneath the good things, there must not be so good.

Hao Ze suddenly remembered this sentence that he had heard on the Internet.

Nature will use its beauty to confuse you, and then to cover itself, but more often than not, it will use the blade of beauty to kill you.

The few bird-like things flapped their wings, and some watched him flee and slowly retreated, while the only one that was larger flew slowly towards him.

Hao Ze looked down and saw that the ring was now green.

He steadied himself, ready to preemptively give this strange creature bigger than he usually did, with its mouth open and able to swallow a lot of things.

Hao Ze stretched out his arm, his five fingers spread, and each fingertip had a small white wheal like a marshmallow, and then suddenly, it was launched violently.

The small white balls absorbed the wind in the air, expanding more and more, like large bullets, flying towards the fish.

The fish didn't dodge, opened its big mouth, and sucked it violently, and ate a few small wheals cleanly, as if it was a dessert before a meal, and it was easy to be scared.

Void?

Hao Ze touched the sweat on his forehead.

This guy is at least intermediate.
