[Douluo] Dream of Thorns

During the half-hour escape, Ji Tong figured out a few things.

First, the environment here is not friendly to Thorn Rose and Silk Fan, but she can use both spirits.Second, although she can use it, it doesn't work well.There is no so-called "life" in this space, and there is no wind; as for the thorn rose, the soil here is not suitable for any plants. The surface and depth of the soil are completely different environments, so that it can even block the upward nutrient exchange of plant roots.Thirdly, the reason why she will fully participate in the assessment is that it is obvious that this project tests her own quality, or more precisely, her soul or thought or other similar essential qualities.Fourth, those predators are the former examiners who died in this level for so long, that is, the souls left behind—perhaps—millions of years ago.

Their food is the soul. When Ji Tong is still there, the group of predators will want to eat her; after she runs away, the group of things will start to kill each other.

The soul energy of this thing is extremely weak, but the attack power is indeed not small.After Ji Tong used thorn roses to dry two or three, he realized that this was a situation where he could not make ends meet. He ran away without hesitation but for a long time failed to figure out the difference in all directions; the land is the same, and so are the wandering souls. Appearing randomly, which made Ji Tong unable to distinguish exactly where he was.The key to ending the escape was that Ji Tong endured the discomfort and dug a hole to bury herself; as she expected, this kind of soil soaked in an unknown liquid was quite insulated from energy. As the ground fell above her head, she confirmed that she now had some sufficient and manageable time to catch her breath.In other words, she is safe until she digs the ground herself.

Then, in this small, dark, enclosed space, she began to seize the time to recover her state.This place is poisonous, everywhere is poisonous; the land is poisonous, the creatures are poisonous, the air, no, there is no such thing at all.It was rare for her to feel that there was a little trouble; what came here was not the body associated with the martial spirit, but a soul that was not immune to poison. "I never thought that one day I would attack myself." She muttered, the thorns and roses in her left hand were all over her body, "Should I be happy now that I still have toxins to eat?"

Digesting poisoned skin wasn't good, especially since there was no clean place on her body.It was also from this that Ji Tong knew how those people who were attacked by Thorn Rose felt. By the way, he secretly vowed that unless there were special circumstances, he would let them die more simply.After peeling off a layer of skin and growing a new layer of skin with the energy of the soil next to her, she almost collapsed on the ground in cold sweat, and it seemed that she would not want to move much for a long time; but Of course, she couldn't leave it like this during this period of time. She got used to the newly eaten toxin.

Of course, this was also divided into the reserve of Thorn Rose.The new toxin showed a dark smell of death, which meant that Heping was completely different from the fresh, even literally alive poison that Ji Tong had come into contact with; she then distinguished the toxins contained in the creatures on the ground. The same, and each has a lot in common with the poison in the land.This is obviously the biggest commonality in the existence of this space, and the biggest commonality is that they may not be regarded as poisonous in a certain sense.

This should be more of an energy—an energy that is harmful to living people.And here, it forms the basis of this world.

Something flashed through Ji Tong's mind.It is true that there is no "Qi" that she is familiar with here, but maybe...

Perhaps the "death energy" here can also be manipulated by her?

The moment this idea appeared, Ji Tong inexplicably felt that this direction was particularly right.She also felt that if she could master a method, a fighting method that would keep her from running all the way and doing nothing, she would pass this test.Generally speaking, when this kind of mysterious intuition appears, Ji Tong should check himself for mental toxins, but this place is different. This place is the inheritance of the gods, so he will definitely give some hints; considering that if he does not Even if she did not complete the customs clearance task like this, she would not be able to complete it. She decisively cut the silk fan, stuck it in the ground next to it, closed her eyes and started sensing.

Frankly speaking, Ji Tong was a little flustered because there were no roses of thorns in this kind of place.

Don't panic, girl, she closed her eyes and said to herself, hold on, meditate, you have to feel the world; she held the silk fan half inserted in the mud to carefully feel the energy stuck on it, giving herself a sense of self in the midst of the noise. Cheer up.Sure, you can do it, you can, it's just a little test of concentration...

She carefully discerned the energy stuck on it.It was blood-red, dark, chaotic energy; what she needed to do now was find a sequence.This is difficult, after all, this is a brand new power system; Ji Tong has never been exposed to these, never.

Who was born in a black street, who would take a second look at the corpses on the street?Even if Ji Tong is special, it is necessary to take a second look, but who cares about the special attributes of food?

She persisted for more than ten minutes, but to no avail, she had no choice but to change to another martial spirit and paste herself again.This time it was much faster than last time, but it still hurts the same; I have to say, Ji Tong wants to curse now.That pile of messy energy looks like a geometry problem. Only soul masters who study formations in the world will study geometry problems, while other people only need to understand how to settle accounts at most.That energy is like a difficult geometry problem for her. From the perspective of energy—or poison—it is basically the same as what she has mastered, but these are obviously two systems.Just like she couldn't solve the formation with the equation she used to allocate resources when she was leading the team in Heijie, she couldn't come up with a concept from this red paste now.It's super hard.

But there was no way, she had to try again.That determined whether she could pass the test, here, in this dark cave, go mad, or go out and be killed and try again when she woke up and adjusted; everybody knew it wouldn't work.

"Okay, let's do it again." She kissed the flowers that just bloomed and released a little pleasant fragrance, "You can do it, right? Of course you can."

This time she decided to start with a more visible energy.Undoubtedly, the most conspicuous thing here is the energy belonging to the earth; it is not the viscous liquid that is in contact with the outside world, but the energy of the earth, or space.She grabbed a handful of the soil and squeezed it, the energy contained in the liquid dripping between her fingers was chaotic and maddening; on the contrary, the remaining soil was clean by more than 01:30.Of course, this level is not satisfactory to Ji Tong. She let Thorn Rose secrete some venom that did not harm her so much, washed the things in her hands several times, and dried them by various means, and finally got A handful of dry soil that is a bit fishy.

Thorn Rose ate a little, it was a familiar taste.

"Should it be okay this time?" Ji Tong's tone sounded less confident, but his movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation.The reopened fan was pasted again, and this time the feeling was clean; it was dark red energy, misty.

This is the energy that belongs to the home of the dead.It's not the same as "dead energy", it's silent dead air, dead air.It has no life, so it has no words of life and death.

It is much easier to analyze the energy of the entire space again, those messy lines obviously belong to the energy of the creatures above the head.They were once living creatures, and the aura on their bodies is also the aura from life to death; they are different from this space that has not survived for a long time, they have traces of life on their bodies, and this space only has erosion.Ji Tong suddenly realized where the insidious point of this test was - if she didn't pass the level in time, her anger would be consumed and she would lose.

Oh... Fortunately, there is a rose of thorns.This Martial Soul, which is even immune to the Purifying Soul Power of Angels, is really not for nothing.

These energies are not so easy to grasp, and the time it takes to distinguish and familiarize them is completely incomparable.By the time she fully grasped the approximate difference between these energies, the girl's body was almost half dead.Afterwards, the thorns and roses devoured and then repaired themselves, which took Ji Tong quite a while; and after she could barely control the dead air, the girl finally tried to return to the ground and take a look.

Ah... Although I don't know why I still can't master it proficiently, but in this kind of space where there is only death energy, do I still have to use death energy to attack?

She cleaned up the nearby predators, and found that doing so was useless; after all, there were endless predators in the entire space, and she didn't know where she was going.After realizing this problem, Ji Tong immediately hid underground again, and then unfolded the fan and carefully manipulated the newly mastered power to disperse the mental power, just like she used anger to feel the enemy in normal battles.This mental fluctuation has spread far and far away, and her perception has always been a monotonous blood red; this is a bit boring, even maddening, especially because the energy here is not in the same system as hers; but soon, Ji Tong found something.

She found a touch of anger.It's a little far away from her, almost across the distance of half a sky; but it's a real anger that doesn't belong here.There is no doubt that if there is a clearance condition for this assessment, it is definitely a crucial point.

Without any further hesitation, Ji Tong started to move in that direction.This kind of dead energy is not very useful on moving targets, or for Ji Tong, who has never been able to master this kind of energy proficiently, it is simply impossible to clear monsters while driving; after thinking about whether there is such a thing After this possibility was not for her, Ji Tong completely gave up her aggressive behavior and began to concentrate on her journey.After replenishing the energy six or seven times, she saw a rather out-of-the-ordinary spot in that energy system—a circle of light.

OK, an aperture.

Is there any other option than walking in?No doubt, no.

How can this be played without energy perception?luck?Ji Tong complained so much, raised her leg and stepped in, and then the circle of light closed behind her.Inside was a mysterious space, filled with some kind of mysterious power; it was a kind of power that was obviously different from the dead energy behind her, and when it came up, it washed her away in the form of some kind of brutal energy storm.Following that, there was an unusual and indescribable sound.

"What does the God of Shura need to know? In order to become a god in charge of killing, you need to understand what killing is. What is the difference between those who have been killed and those who have not been killed? Experience death and survival, this is your part. The goal of the field examination."

This is the first paragraph.The voice paused for a while, and then said another sentence in that indescribable tone. "You have already understood the essential difference between death and survival. Among the many inheritors of the God of Shura, your grades are already among the best. Now you are an unqualified inheritor who will be thrown [-] meters when you stand at the entrance of the temple .”

Amidst the energy fluctuations being sent back, Ji Tong rolled her eyes like an Oscar-style resentful woman.

Yes.

This fucking is the entrance.

The author has something to say:

...What kind of crap is this.

After that, I will probably take one chapter at a time or several chapters at a time... I can't bear the progress of the plot after the exam.
