384. Rituals
Perhaps knowing that Xu Zhi was "very talented", the priest put down the things he was packing and handed them to the man who opened the door, and turned to Xu Zhi to briefly introduce the Order.
He also listened to what Xu Zhi said casually, most of them were used to fool people, and it also exaggerated how oppressed the bottom wanderers were, Xu Zhi seemed to nod again and again, but in fact, he was completely absent-minded, and his mind was more focused on the lost land.
When the priest had finished his tirade, he finally took her to the second floor.
The second floor seemed to be equivalent to a "warehouse" and a living area, and there was only one person guarding it, a boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, who looked a little malnourished, and he should have been a wanderer who was not very strong in the past, and Xu Zhi noticed that his expression was quite clear, and he showed a little vigilance and alertness when he heard someone going up the stairs.
"Du Cheng, come here, let me introduce you, this is a new member who is about to join us, called."
When the priest introduced, he suddenly paused, and then realized that after talking to Xu Zhi so much, the other party did not introduce himself at all.
Xu Zhi almost didn't think much about it, and he opened his mouth to come: "My surname is Ling, only my surname has no name." ”
Nonsense, but not completely nonsense, how can the spirit body not be surnamed Ling?
The priest nodded and didn't care if what Xu Zhi said was true or not, the names of the wanderers at the bottom were strange, and some people didn't even have a surname, so they casually gave a name exactly the same as the mechanical parts, and single-word names were not uncommon.
"Take her to the empty room, where she will stay in the future, and officially join us tomorrow night."
After saying goodbye to Du Cheng, the priest turned his head to look at Xu Zhi again: "Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow's ceremony is very important, don't run around without sleeping at night." ”
The priest had something to say, apparently not believing Xu Zhi, and was warning her not to rummble around the building or try to escape.
Xu Zhi nodded nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Father, I won't even take a step out of the door tonight." ”
She doesn't want to care what these [cups] are planning and hiding, she is really here to join!
At night, Xu Zhi controlled the spirit body to lie on the bed and close his eyes to rest, although this spirit body is just an ordinary person, but because of the infusion of a large amount of extraordinary energy, the talent of this body is actually extremely high, even if he does not enter the extraordinary at this moment, Xu Zhi also faintly perceives a certain feeling of surveillance with his intuition.
I think the believers here don't trust her.
Xu Zhi smiled indifferently, and simply shifted most of his attention to the side of the lost land.
It had only been more than three hours and less than four hours since the spirit body had done all this, and it was the deepest hour of the night.
Nothing seems to have changed in the meantime, except that the fog on the ground has become thicker and thicker, spreading from about the calves of a person during the day to a height that can almost submerge the entire person.
Xu Zhi didn't plan to go down to try what it was like to be in the fog, after all, there were still things to do on the spirit body, and it was not good to die in the ground at this time.
After another half hour or so, the fog inside the lost land seemed to be even thicker, and even the moonlight seemed to be covered with a light veil and became hazy and dim.
It was also at this moment that Xu Zhi finally sensed something was wrong in the air.
Or rather, she felt a bit of a familiar aura.
The air seemed to begin to grow cold, and the trees seemed to grow taller in the moonlight, and their shadows swayed like the minions of monsters and the guards of trees.
Xu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, she vaguely recognized where this familiar feeling belonged, and guessed that it would fall to the ground, but she didn't expect to feel its breath in the shallow layer.
No, it's not shallow anymore, and without her teammates, she's moving extremely fast, far beyond the depth she came to last time.
The imprint from midnight in the palm of my hand was slightly hot, but fortunately there was only a faint midnight breath here.
Sure enough, midnight exists in the depths of the Lost Lands, and like the Federation, it only falls at night.
If she wants to go to the depths of the lost land, she must not be able to avoid midnight.
"That's bad news."
If you think that the local creatures rarely haunt at night, you must have felt the breath of midnight, and you know that walking at night is very likely to enter the "other world".
After all, midnight belongs to the world of the dead, and getting lost in midnight is very likely to become another new grave at midnight.
"The breath is very light, I think the real midnight should be in the depths of the lost land, I may not go into that deep this time."
She didn't know what punishment Midnight would give her, but she had to be careful.
All night, Xu Zhi stayed quietly in the trees, and when the first rays of the morning sun sprinkled on the treetops, she finally felt the midnight breath dissipate.
Insects and birds began to revive in the forest, and Xu Zhi also re-embarked on the road to join his family.
The most important purpose for other transcendents to come to the Lost Land is to lose the huge transcendent resources in the Lost Land, Xu Zhi is actually short of resources, but she wants to join her clan faster, so she does not choose to collect transcendent plants or hunt transcendent creatures.
The lost land is huge enough, even if Xu Zhi's speed is not slow, he can only be regarded as leaving the shallowest layer in two days, but it is still within the large range of the periphery.
Fortunately, the distance between her and her family has been further shortened, and if nothing else, she will be able to join Xiao Zhen before midnight tomorrow.
All day, Xu Zhi was in a hurry, and behind her, at the various entrances that had been lost, there were suddenly batches of investigators who were rarely seen today.
As the "lost investigators" cultivated by various forces, they usually only go out in large numbers when something big happens, or when they need some kind of resource that is difficult to obtain in the land, but they have never had such a large-scale personnel operation.
Many people who saw this scene were speculating: Did any important treasures be found in the lost land?
What's more, they are even more bold to speak: maybe it's news related to Ascension!
Otherwise, why would there be a dispatch on a scale that has never been done before!
Even if there was an extraordinary person in the lost land before who was suddenly promoted to become a new [Agent], he had never sent so many investigators to investigate the truth at the same time!
Something big is definitely happening, this is the unified perception of the transcendent in the outside world after seeing this scene.
Liancheng, the bottom floor.
"Don't resist, don't be afraid, it's just God watching you."
In the dimly lit small building, Xu Zhi controlled the spirit body to sit in a somewhat familiar ritual formation, perhaps it should be called the [Cup] attribute circuit.
The circuit is supposed to be carved with the fusion of blood and otherworldly materials, and in the eight directions of the circuit, there are eight red candles burning.
And the spirit body sat in the center of the circuit, and in front of her, and at the top of the circuit, there were three blood foods.
It's just that in the eyes of the "well-informed" Xu Zhi, the quality of these three blood foods is really a bit average.
Not as good as one-tenth the quality of the blood that suddenly appeared on her bedside table.
It seems that the [cup] life at the bottom is not good.
The priest in front of him was singing a hymn, holding a blood-colored cup full of blood, and when the hymn reached a certain point, he suddenly raised the blood cup and sprinkled the blood in it over the circuit.
Suddenly, the not too complicated circuit was activated, and it began to emit a glowing red light.
I just got home, I'm so tired from climbing the mountain today, I'm going to rest!
I'll add more tomorrow
