Chapter 163 163. Special Sacrifice
When Xu Zhi raised his head, he discovered that the tree belonging to the black cat had disappeared at some point.
Is it because its remains have been taken away?
But now was not the time to ask this question. Xu Zhi tied the bones and the scabbard together and carried it behind his back. He put on his cloak again and quickly left the place towards the entrance.
Not long after she left, there were waves of weird roars coming from behind.
Black Cat's tone suddenly became tired: "It's just a little bit close."
Xu Zhi frowned: "What are those? They won't catch up, right?"
Black Cat's voice dropped slightly: "No, you Go fast, I'll cover your traces, don't stop, keep walking further."
Xu Zhi could hear its fatigue from its voice, and combined with the [Nightmare] ability of the Familia, it was not difficult to guess that this black cat How to cover her whereabouts.
It seems like it really wants to get out of here.
Xu Zhi quickly walked away from here, and she didn't stop until she was almost close to the crack.
There was no abnormality in the hand that was branded by Midnight. Even except for the burning sensation at the beginning, it seemed that everything was no different from before. But it was precisely because of this that Xu Zhi felt even more uneasy.
Seeing her stop, the black cat was puzzled: "If you don't hurry out, why are you stopping here?"
It looked around, and compared to its previous posture, it was obviously a little too uneasy now.
Why are you upset?
Is there anything different from before?
bone.
Is it upset because the bones were dug out?
It seems that this bone is really a very important thing.
"You promised me, but you haven't fulfilled it yet." Xu Zhi looked at it calmly, as if he was not in a hurry.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to stay here? Once you are discovered..." "
Human, we can talk slowly after we go out. It will be safe then. You can talk as long as you want. I will tell you anything you want to know." ——"
"No." Xu Zhi immediately interrupted it and objected: "I want to know immediately."
The black cat's back arched, and it bared its teeth and growled at Xu Zhi: "Human, you should be more aware of current affairs. A little!"
Xu Zhi didn't take the threat, her eyes were cold: "It's you who should be more aware of current affairs." "
If you don't want to say it, I will throw away this bone."
"You!" This sentence poked Hitting the black cat's weak spot, its fur exploded again and again, but there was nothing Xu Zhi could do.
The black cat's green eyes flashed. If it weren't for that damn light, it would have used an illusion to get Xu Zhi to "voluntarily" take it out.
Now, it seems that some price has to be paid.
"Okay, human, what do you want to know?"
Xu Zhi already knew where this place was, and what was more important now was
"Why do you want to go out? Is it because something happened here."
"Hmph." The black cat transformed again. Qing Yan: "You do know how to ask."
"Everyone here wants to go out, not just me."
This was the answer to Xu Zhi's first question. This was not beyond Xu Zhi's expectation. After all, she already knew that this was a cemetery, and all the "creatures" in Midnight should be dead, and leaving Midnight might mean recovery.
"But your guess is right, something happened at midnight." The black cat floated in the air tiredly.
"That crack disrupted some arrangements. Since it is impossible to leave, it has become dangerous in the middle of the night. The guys who have regained consciousness want to leave here as soon as possible instead of being used as sacrifices." At this point,
Black The cat suddenly let out a cry of pain and fell from the air to the ground. Its hair was no longer shiny, as if it had suffered a serious injury.
It seems to have suffered some sort of backlash.
The black cat on the ground seemed to be immersed in death for nearly half a minute, and then slowly opened its eyes again, but its emerald-like eyes also became dim at this moment. It said to Xu Zhi in an extremely weak voice: "
I I have told you the answer, and now it is time for you to fulfill your promise."
Black Cat's appearance was obviously extremely miserable, but Xu Zhi was not satisfied: "Is this all?"
Hearing Xu Zhi's greedy speech, Black Cat's voice Becoming miserable: "Human! Don't be too greedy!"
"I have told you everything I can say. Even so, I have suffered backlash. If I say one more word, I don't have to go out!" See the black
cat With such an attitude, Xu Zhi understood that this was indeed its limit.
Sacrifice?
Xu Zhi had some thoughts in her mind, but now was not the time to think deeply. She nodded: "Would you like to hide in the cloak? You are too conspicuous." The black cat saw that Xu Zhi no longer asked
. It said more and breathed a sigh of relief. The backlash could not be concealed. It was afraid that Xu Zhi was not satisfied yet, so it really could not say anything more.
But with Xu Zhi's "permission", the light of the lantern no longer burned the black cat's soul, and it was able to get in successfully.
"That's right." Xu Zhi suddenly said: "There are guards at the entrance, just in case. If it has any signs of discovering me, you'd better cover it for me." The
cat hidden in the cloak exploded again, and then Is the thing being guarded something that can be easily deceived? !
Humanity!
So greedy!
But it really couldn't stand idly by. After all, if Xu Zhi was caught and his bones
were dug out, his bones could never be left in the middle of the night. It had to leave.
The black cat lay tiredly on Xu Zhi's shoulder to gather strength. When necessary, it could only take action.
Damn humanity, when it leaves here, it will immediately take back its own bones. When the time comes, it will definitely let this human being know the price of threatening it!
When he reached the entrance of the crack, Xu Zhi promptly changed the core of the lantern and changed the light from [Lamp] to [Cup].
And she could feel that when the lights changed, the black cat hiding in her shoulder became more alert.
It seems that it hates the smell of [Cup] more than [Lamp].
When we walked to the entrance, perhaps due to the movement deep in the forest, the creatures that had been lying leisurely on the edge of the crack were now wandering near the crack.
Xu Zhi didn't dare to look up at it. The "intuition" of high-level extraordinary creatures was extremely sharp and would easily detect the sight of them. Xu Zhi could only hold his breath, slow down and walk quickly towards the crack.
Under the cover of his cloak, Xu Zhi was like a mist moving quickly on the ground. It had no breath and did not attract any attention, but it was still a bit strange to be a moving mist in this windless forest.
Fortunately, when Xu Zhi walked next to the tall creature, the black cat hidden under the cloak took action in time to help Xu Zhi cover up.
Therefore, Xu Zhi was able to reach the mouth of the crack smoothly. As long as she crossed the crack, she would return to the present world, and her cooperation with the black cat would break at that moment.
