the only savior

Chapter 393

"What happened just now? Did the Starry Eye respond?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at his right hand suspiciously.

What he can be sure of is that he really saw it light up, and this is definitely not a hallucination.

But now the problem came again, the Eye of the Stars was no longer the passive skill it was at the beginning, even after getting close to the monster's corpse, as long as he didn't intentionally activate it, it wouldn't work on its own.

But just now, when I was sitting here perfectly, without doing anything, the engraving in my hand suddenly glowed, which made people a little puzzling.

"Xingzhi, tell the Shuguang to go back the same way, at a slower speed."

He directed the system back on the way back, and then focused all his attention on his right hand, ready to see what happened just now.

Sure enough, with the retreat of the anti-gravity vehicle, after passing a certain place, Zhang Xiaoman saw the starry eye imprint in his hand glowing again, and he immediately said to the watch:

"Stop! Stop! Go a little further ahead! Yes, it's here, the dark energy fluctuations here seem to be a little different..."

Looking at the faintly radiant pattern on his hand, Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while, and then thought of a possibility.

He no longer hesitated, and began to try to activate the absorption skill of Starry Eye.

The result was not beyond his expectation, that kind of transparent energy flow actually appeared in the nearby space, all of which were converging towards his palm.

After about ten seconds, the fluctuation gradually stopped, and a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding, the essence has been absorbed successfully, and the points have increased by 10 points."

"Ding, an unknown new species has been discovered, do you want to name it?"

"..."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Zhang Xiaoman was very surprised by the sudden extra interaction in the system. Compared with the inexplicable light up of the imprint on his palm, he is now more concerned about this sudden situation.

You know, since he got the system, this thing has never interacted with him, but now the system suddenly asked him a question, which made him very unbelievable.

"System Elf, is that you? Are you still alive?"

Zhang Xiaoman tried to ask twice, but there was no response. The system was still the same, without the chat function.

Recalling what it said before, Zhang Xiaoman said with some uncertainty: "So, confirm the naming of the new species...?"

The system is still not responding.

Zhang Xiaoman paused, feeling a little embarrassed talking to himself like this alone, but he continued:
"Well, if you want to name it... Since this guy is so durable and has an iron head, let's call him an iron-headed fish."

"Ding, the ironhead fish has been named successfully."

This time, the system finally gave a response and directly passed the name he just named.

"Hmm... gone? That's it...?"

Zhang Xiaoman waited in a daze for quite a while, but he still didn't wait for the system's next step, so he couldn't help but get a little weird.

"No, according to the normal routine, shouldn't there be rewards or something? For example, a high-level lottery draw or something, no matter how bad it is, it's good to give points..."

"What's the matter with simply asking me to name it? Is the system so picky?"

Zhang Xiaoman felt uncomfortable in his heart, he waited for a while in vain, but in the end he just gave himself a name.

"Okay, I was thinking too much, the system elves are gone, so where are the rewards?"

He thought about it for a while, and then he was relieved.

The system I got seems to be mostly an auxiliary program with no small treasury.

Everything I bought in it was redeemed by points. The system itself does not have any self-generating function, so there is no way to talk about rewards.

Now that the matter of naming is settled, all that remains is the question of the sudden luminescence of the imprint.

Zhang Xiaoman turned his gaze to his right hand, he actually had some guesses about the situation just now.

Although the ironhead fish was blown to pieces in the explosion just now, the traces of it have not dissipated for a while.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't know how to describe it, and felt that it was a bit similar to a setting like a soul.

But he can be sure that this should not be a soul or something, because he clearly remembers that when he was bragging, he said more than once that there are no ghosts in this world.

Therefore, the thing he absorbed just now should not be something like a soul, but maybe the "essence" that the system has been prompting.

Although he still doesn't quite understand what this so-called essence is, what Zhang Xiaoman can confirm is that after the monster's corpse is blown up, this essence should dissipate quickly.

Even, even if the system elf suddenly told him that this was actually absorbed by the will of the universe, he felt that he would not be too surprised.

And the reason why Zhang Xiaoman can be so sure is because at the beginning, in his perception of the spirit detection technique, the strength of that monster is definitely not only 10 points, but at least it should be close to the 1nd level in the late 2st level level.

But now, after the corpse was blown up, it only delayed for such a short time, and its points have shrunk by almost half, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Well, it seems that this kind of weapon should not be used much when fighting monsters in the future, otherwise it would be too bad to lose half of the points all at once."

For such a problem, he has nothing to do now, he can only pay more attention in the future.

As for why the starry eye in his hand suddenly lit up, Zhang Xiaoman guessed that there were nothing more than two reasons.

Either the shape of the monster has dissipated, leaving only the most basic essence.Or it might be because of the new species. When he encounters a new species, the icon on his palm will glow.

Of course, there may be other reasons, but Zhang Xiaoman doesn't know now. If he wants to experiment, he needs more materials.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoman drove the anti-gravity car around to the nearby places, and he found the camp of the mercenaries, which happened to be located in the northeast corner of Qixing Lake, which was the place farthest from the island.

In fact, as far as these people suddenly appeared today, he was somewhat prepared.

Because during these days on Rebirth Island, Zhang Xiaoman, in addition to dealing with the affairs of the Star Alliance and improving his strength, would also drive the Shuguang to explore the surrounding maps from time to time.

The nearby woods have now begun to gradually flourish. In terms of scale alone, there is not much difference compared to the forests outside, and it is even more exaggerated.

Judging from the shape and volume of those trees, this should not be their limit. On the contrary, it is more like those giant trees in the age of dinosaurs. Maybe it won't be long before you can see a super forest on Rebirth Island.

While Zhang Xiaoman was doing environmental surveys, he found some soldiers looking around in it. They seemed to be from various countries, and they seemed to have launched a thorough investigation of this place at the same time.

For this situation, he had already expected it.

Fortunately, Rebirth Island is large enough, with an area of ​​100 million square kilometers. Without the support of many high-tech means, it is impossible for those people to complete the exploration quickly.

Most of them are still in the outer area now, and there is still a long way to go to reach the inner Qixing Lake.

Of course, the situation he encountered today is not uncommon, and various forces have sent assault teams to conduct in-depth investigations, and Zhang Xiaoman needs to guard against them now.
