The night was like ink, so thick it seemed like it could drip.

Dark clouds drifted in from nowhere and swallowed up the moonlight quietly.

It only scattered a few pale spots in the forest.

At first glance, it looks like a torn spider web.

Deep in the woods.

In the canopy more than ten meters high, the figure of Hu Qi blends into the branches and leaves.

He leaned against the gnarled tree trunk.

suddenly.

The dagger held tightly in his right hand drew a cold arc under the pale moonlight, and then there was a muffled sound of 'duo'.

The sharp blade accurately penetrated a black snake as thick as a thumb that swam toward him, driving its triangular snake head deeply into the rough bark of the tree beside him.

The black snake's body twisted violently, trying to escape.

It's a pity that there is no way at all, and in the end it can only hang down helplessly.

The trembling sound of the blade echoed in the dead forest for a long time, startling several night birds in the distance.

He waited quietly for a while until it was confirmed that there were no pursuers.

His tight shoulder lines finally relaxed slightly.

Don't blame him for being so careful.

This place is a ten-star world, and there are definitely many strong people in it.

In his current state, if he encounters it, he is afraid of death.

Even though it's not the real body, it won't hurt even if it dies.

But that would mean that everything his doppelganger did was a failure.

If you want to explore the secret of Reincarnation Book House, you need to start over.

Waste of Modification Points is only second.

What he was worried about was that if he missed this time.

I'm afraid it's hard to get a second chance. After all, the world of the Ten Stars novel is too strange this time.

Not only does it not introduce the plot of this world.

The mission wasn't even posted.

However.

Just when his thoughts reached this point.

Hu Qi moved suddenly.

He raised his head and looked forward.

The next second.

Only lines of writing appeared in his sight.

However, it is not Scarlet Panel.

But the information comes from Reincarnation Book House.

"Detected that reader code number: 4 successfully entered the ten-star novel world [Sealed Origin Realm]."

"Main Quest One: Kill God

Task description: Kill any main god in this world.

Reward: Unknown.

Main Quest 2: Source

Task description: Face one of the extraordinary sources in this world, lasting at least one minute.

Reward: Unknown

(Note: You can leave after completing two Main Quest. After leaving the world, settlement will be based on the reader's performance.)"

The handwriting ends here and slowly fades away from sight.

"The main god... the source..."

Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

I originally thought that Reincarnation Book House would not release tasks.

But now it seems that the task has been delayed for some reason.

Or perhaps, this is the test deliberately set by Reincarnation Book House.

Only those who have truly survived in this world are qualified to perform the tasks issued.

However, Hu Qi is more inclined to the former.

After all, no reader who can become a manager is a simple person.

Even if the body of an ordinary person is taken away, it is impossible to die in the hands of the natives as soon as they come in.

Unless the other party is particularly unlucky.

Caught by the transcendent beings of this world.

Recalling the information given by Reincarnation Book House.

The so-called task content only contains these few lines, which is pitiful.

And, there is no Side Quest.

Main Quest has two.

The rewards are unknown.

This situation has never happened before.

The One and Only can be sure.

Accomplishing these two tasks is by no means easy.

"Now it seems that even Reincarnation Book House won't be able to interfere too much in the Shixing novel world."

A strange color flashed across Hu Qi's face.

He knew it before.

These so-called novel worlds themselves, except for a few, may be copies of special worlds created by Reincarnation Book House.

The vast majority of them are real world.

It's just that Reincarnation Book House has insight into the development trajectory of the world through some method that Hu Qi doesn't know.

Or it can be said that the past and future are turned into novel plots for readers to read.

In other words.

This ten-star world also exists.

Hu Qi thought of the previous countdown.

Tips from Reincarnation Book House:

[Due to special legal restrictions in this world, this transmission will adopt the soul rebirth mode...]

special rules therein.

Perhaps this is the special feature of this ten-star novel world.

But, what is the difference between this law and the power of rules?

These messy thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

Hu Qi thought for a while.

Close your eyes.

After a while.

Opened his eyes again.

A strange color appeared on his face.

"Completely isolated, even the existence of the original body cannot be contacted..."

You know, even before it was within Reincarnation Book House.

He can also contact the main body through the Mind Realm.

But now this connection has been completely severed.

Even Tattered Black Banner cannot be borrowed.

Combined with the situation of Reincarnation Book House.

Hu Qi has a vague guess in his mind.

I'm afraid, this ten-star novel world does not exist in Abyssal Domain.

It's another special dimension that I don't know about.

Only in this case does it make sense.

certainly.

Not ruled out either.

It may be due to the special laws in this world.

But no matter what.

It is impossible to rely on the support of the main body.

Fortunately, for this situation.

He had expected it before.

Think about this.

His heart moved slightly.

"Crimson!"

Uh-huh!

The next moment.

The translucent Scarlet Panel appears in front of you.

[System Host: Hu Qi (Elu. Goth)]

[Status: Abnormal △ (unknown power mark)]

[Age: 16 years old]

[Skill: Heaven Seizing Technique (Perfect) Characteristics: Heavenly Theft]

[Modification Points 131218(7%)]

The panel is simple.

Among them, the talent, magical power, and bloodline are all non-existent.

After all, his consciousness has been separated from his body.

All the life-saving things given by the main body before were left in the clone's body.

You can't bring it in at all.

The One and Only The only thing left is the Heaven Seizing Technique.

After all, this thing exists in consciousness and will not be taken away when consciousness is withdrawn.

This is also the reason why he was able to break free before, kill the militiamen and rush out.

Heaven Seizing Technique.

What it can plunder is far more than just the avenue.

Vitality, qi and blood, Lifespan, everything that exists in the world can be taken by force.

Although Heaven Seizing Technique has been cultivated to perfection and has a very low threshold for use, this frail body has become the biggest fetter.

Only deeper contact, such as touching the blood of living beings.

Only then can Heaven Seizing Technique be forced to move.

Because of this, Hu Qi would bite through Rock's neck without hesitation.

This body is already on the verge of collapse.

Long-term starvation made the body stunted, and torture made it worse.

Even if there is no Hu Qi seizing the body, there is no burning.

This extremely deficient body is destined to survive only a few days.

With this kind of physical fitness, it is almost impossible to escape from the situation just now.

However, Hu Qi is ultimately a true god.

Although due to the competition for the body and the restrictions of the rules of this world.

But it is still not comparable to ordinary people.

Use your eyes to cast mental suggestions to attract Rock.

Use Heaven Seizing Technique to take the opportunity to seize all the opponent's vitality as nourishment to make up for the shortcomings of this body.

This was his first time using Heaven Seizing Technique, and the effect did not disappoint him.

Although it cannot be like Spirit Devouring Talent, it can be refined into power by eating a stone.

But it can directly plunder everything from other living beings for nourishment.

"The next thing we need to do is get more information about the world."

Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

Although it was dangerous to encounter that situation before.

But the existence of true God is nothing at all.

As for the three managers who entered this world with him, they encountered the same situation as Hu Qi.

It's impossible that anything will happen.

Although entering this world in this way, it cannot exert any strength on its own.

But true God is true God.

This kind of existence doesn't have some trump cards and means.

Therefore, he now needs a clearer understanding of this world, and it is best to come into contact with the extraordinary beings in this world.

Use it as a springboard.

Learn about the extraordinary path and practice it.

While completing that Main Quest, find these three people and kill them.

Although he has gained the memory of the original owner at this moment.

But I still know very little about this world.

I just know that this place is called Grayleaf Village.

It was called this because there was a forest with gray leaves surrounding the village, where he was now.

Hence the name.

Apart from this, there are two other villages nearby.

And Oak Town, which is ten kilometers away from here.

As for places farther away, he didn't know.

Because the farthest place the original person has been to in the past sixteen years is Oak Town.

In addition to staying here Grayleaf Village, the farthest the original owner usually went was to the plain five kilometers away to graze cattle and sheep.

So if Hu Qi wants to get more information.

You need to get out of here, or find someone with enough status to inquire.

In this regard, Hu Qi already has a goal in mind.

Think about this.

Hu Qi tilted his head slightly, his gaze penetrated the gaps between the leaves and the night, and locked on a village not far away from Grayleaf Village.

That's White Bear Village.

This height allowed him to overlook the entire village, and the scattered lights were like crawling fireflies.

Only the building in the center of the village was brightly lit, which was particularly dazzling in the darkness.

There is the residence of the village chief and peace officer: Ired.

Under the unique social structure of this world, the general situation.

The management of the village is jointly managed by the village chief and the sheriff.

The village chief is elected by the villagers through voting or consensus.

Its main responsibilities include maintaining order in the village and managing the village's land and resources.

In some ways, the village chief is the emperor of a village, and no one dares to disobey his orders.

As for the Sheriff, he was appointed directly by the higher-up lord and was responsible for maintaining law and order, arresting criminals, and executing the judgments of the lord making laws.

The difference between the two is that the village chief is the manager of village affairs, while the sheriff is a person sent from above and has the power to mobilize the militia.

Things are a little different here, though.

Maybe it's to save costs, or for other reasons.

Ired was appointed from above to serve as both the village chief and the peace officer.

The other party is not only the village chief of Grayleaf Village, but also manages two surrounding villages. He has such great power that he can decide the life or death of anyone in an area at will.

This Ired is also the master of those people Rock.

The reason why the original owner was arrested and executed at the stake must be someone behind the scenes.

As the most powerful person in this area, if the other party wanted to find out any information, it would be right to start with him.

However, Hu Qi did not act immediately.

He sat there.

Adjusting one's own condition.

There is something sticky on the body.

That's all blood.

Those who were killed by him.

Also has his own.

If I could see through at this moment.

You will find that a large number of capillaries in his body are broken, and blood is seeping out of the pores.

Why this happens.

Ultimately, it's because this body is too weak.

Heaven Seizing Technique is powerful though.

But because of the rules of this world and the limitations of the mortal body.

Even if the vitality and blood of Rock are robbed, the power of improvement will be limited.

The reason why he was able to open the hemp rope at once and kill the four militiamen.

It is caused by Hu Qi directly forcibly mobilizing Qi and blood in the body, bursting out power in a short period of time.

The consequence of this situation is extensive strain on the skeletal muscles.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would already be lying down.

Previously Hu Qi was in order to build his own strength.

Only the external injuries have been restored, but there are still quite a few injuries inside the body.

Fortunately, as time goes by.

These wounds are healing and capillaries are being repaired.

It didn't take long.

There was a noise from Grayleaf Village in the distance.

Look closely.

There was a group of people holding torches looking around for something.

Without thinking too much, you must be looking for Hu Qi.

However, these people only circled around the outside of the village, and finally went back to no avail.

Regarding these, Hu Qi just took a look at them and did not pay more attention to them.

Half an hour passed.

The vitality gained from plundering is exhausted.

At the same time, the injuries in the body will be repaired.

Only then did he pull out the dagger stuck in the tree trunk and slid down from the tree.

Then he came to a small stream and washed the blood on his body with the stream water.

During this period.

He took a brief look at the body's appearance with the help of the thin moonlight above his head and the reflection in the water.

Long blond hair, burgundy eyes.

High nose, deep eyes, typical Caucasian appearance.

It's just that his face is a little childish.

At this moment, her blond hair was spread messily, still glowing dimly under the weak moonlight.

A pair of red eyes stood out in the night, like two clusters of beating flames, exuding a dangerous and wild light.

The burlap clothes hung on the body like rags, revealing the strong body underneath.

Blood stains were stained on the fabric, some had dried to dark brown, and some were still fresh Crimson.

This appearance is completely different from the skinny appearance in the memory of the original person, who was so weak that his ribs could be seen.

This situation occurs naturally because the energy and blood plundered by Heaven Seizing Technique make up for this body.

In this regard, Hu Qi is quite satisfied.

Although this body can only be regarded as a slightly stronger ordinary body, it is much better than the previous situation.

Soon, after the cleaning is completed.

He stood up, checked the direction, and then disappeared into the woods.

Time goes back half an hour.

White Bear Village not far from Grayleaf Village.

Dong Dong...

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

A strong male voice came from the room.

As the butler, Chatt took a deep breath.

He reached out and pushed open the door.

Suddenly.

The scene in the village chief's house appeared before his eyes.

Hunting trophies are hung on the walls of the room, including deer heads, wild boar tusks and so on.

There is a burning fireplace beside it.

Perhaps the night breeze blew in because the door was open.

Makes the flames dance in the fireplace.

He cast a tall and burly figure on the wall.

This is a tall man, with his back turned to him at the moment, looking up at a mural on the wall.

Hearing the noise, the man did not turn his head.

But he said calmly.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir Ired, Grayleaf Village there is something going on over there..."

Chatt lowered his head.

He quickly briefly explained what happened.

The words fell.

The room suddenly fell into dead silence for a moment.

There was only the faint crackling sound of flames licking wood from one side of the fireplace.
