Rainy night in Yi Country, a coastal city – Huan Shi County.

The ocean waves rose and fell on the beach near the county, never ceasing.

As the white foam receded, a calico cat lazily stretched and rolled around on the damp sand.

*Whoosh.*

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out of the sea and flashed overhead.

The black shadow landed, stopping on the sand nearby.

In the moonlight, it could be seen that it was a blue-black fish-shaped aircraft.

The hatch slowly opened.

Several men and women with tired faces and dirty clothes jumped out.

"This is the coastline of Yi Country. We must leave as soon as possible. I have already contacted the organization's temporary personnel here. The Security Department will be here to pick us up soon," Barton said, looking exhausted.

"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. We're not safe yet," Karan added.

The four of them quickened their pace and headed towards the county town.

Not long after they left, a patch of black shadow quickly dyed the sea water behind the aircraft black.

*Whoosh.*

Suddenly, there was a soft sound.

The calico cat lying on the ground was instantly enveloped by a black shadow that pounced from the sea.

It didn't even have time to meow before it lay motionless on the ground.

One second.

Two seconds.

Soon, the color of the calico cat rapidly darkened and deepened. In just a few seconds, it transformed from a multicolored cat into an extremely black pure black cat.

A thick, impenetrable black shadow wriggled constantly in the shadow beneath it.

The black cat stood up, stretched its body, and slowly opened its eyes, revealing not cat eyes, but a pair of light golden dragon eyes with vertical pupils.

"My power is suppressed a lot Besides the taste of heart's blood, there's actually the mixed blood of other branches of my clan"

It paused, a little hesitant.

Whether it was heart's blood or mixed blood, both could enhance his current power and help him restore his original strength.

After thinking about it, he decided to retrieve his heart's blood first.

After all, heart's blood was his own, and it would be absorbed more quickly and easily.

*Chi!*

In an instant, the black cat disappeared from the spot.

As for the high-end power of this world, it had already experienced it before. As long as it was careful, everything would be fine.

Death Angel Capital.

Five days.

Li Cheng頤 had been here for five days.

In those five days, every twenty-four hours, the Balance Angel would appear once, and then he would control it to rush towards the Silent Angel on the roof.

After that, he would fall into a headache, and while recovering, he would continue to study the death energy magic system.

And the constantly destroyed Balance Angel brought him a large amount of white ash.

Li Cheng頤 found a large bucket and put all the remaining white ash into it.

Sitting across from the Skeleton Mage, Li Cheng頤 flipped through the translated basic book of death energy magic.

"Consciousness and flesh are not separate entities. Like energy and matter, they are actually two sides of the same coin."

"According to the theory of this dead angle system, consciousness and flesh are also like this. Consciousness is called extremely refined particle-like flesh. They are connected to each other through chemical reactions and electrical signals, and organically combined into a huge network, and then construct the so-called complete consciousness."

"In this way, the engraving naturally produced after the flesh reaches a certain strength does not actually need to be divided into two directions. They can all be converted to a certain level."

Li Cheng頤 raised his left hand. He had cut off the blood flow in his arm, and it had become much thinner.

At his level of combat, doing this was not difficult.

Fine control of the body was the forte of the combat genre.

Looking at his left hand that was gradually dying, a hollow, unfocused, strange look appeared in Li Cheng頤's eyes.

This was the Silent Meditation Method of the death energy system.

A person's thinking and consciousness cannot completely enter silence, because people receive countless external and internal disturbances and signals every moment.

But the Silent Meditation Method took a different approach.

The death energy mages of this dead angle created a method similar to self-hypnosis.

They summarized the feeling and impression of when death energy flowed, which was the information left by the first lucky ones who perceived death energy by accident.

They used pictures and sounds in combination, and combined them with external incense and other things to simulate about 10% of the state of consciousness when sensing death energy.

Li Cheng頤 held the book and carefully stared at the Silent Meditation Method patterns on it.

It was a circle of maze-like patterns that twisted and turned like a snake.

White paper.

Black snake.

The meditation method started from the thinnest snake tail, entering it with your gaze, and then rushing out of the largest snake head in one fell swoop.

If successful, the consciousness would enter a state of pitch-black emptiness.

If failed, you would lose a chance to experience death energy and must self-harm again until new death energy gradually emerged on your body before you could reactivate this meditation diagram.

In the hall.

Li Cheng頤 sat alone in the middle of a row of seats, meditating quietly.

His mental power was very strong. The bloodline of the Shadow Dragon and the strengthening of the Holy Spirit Skill had made his consciousness strength and total amount far exceed any entry-level death energy mage.

But because of this, the interference his consciousness received was also much more and stronger than that of ordinary people.

This also made his entry-level difficulty much greater than that of ordinary people.

Fortunately, the powerful flower language of the Evil Flower helped him.

With the Radiant Force Field, Li Cheng頤 tried more than a dozen times to put his right hand into a near-death state.

Then, after failing, he forcibly pulled it back, growing bones, flesh, and blood to restore it to its original state.

This was something that death energy mages could never enjoy when they first started.

His own strong flesh control, the Shadow Dragon's powerful recovery, and the accelerated healing power of the Radiant Force Field.

The superposition of the three brought about this method of exploiting bugs over and over again.

Cold wind constantly blew in from the window, making a whirring sound.

The skeleton frames outside had begun to wander around aimlessly again. The bones collided with each other, making a rattling noise.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...*

A huge flapping of wings came from the roof. It was the Silent Angel making the noise.

Li Cheng頤 had been here for a few days and could hear the Silent Angel flapping its wings and flying away into the distance every noon.

About half an hour later, it would fly back the same way and continue to turn into a stone statue, waiting for something.

Li Cheng頤 had no energy to pay attention to anything else at this time. His gaze followed the black snake forward. This was already the eighth time.

Eight times, and he hadn't even achieved the basic death energy entry.

Death energy was related to obtaining engraving methods faster.

Moreover, this was a powerful system completely unrelated to the Evil Flower. He could completely use it as his core and improve it together with the combat evolution direction.

In the previous seven times, Li Cheng頤 had failed in the end because he couldn't suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart.

But this time, he tried his best to control his thoughts, concentrating all his senses on the black snake, motionless, forgetting everything outside.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Ten minutes...

*Chi!*

Finally, a wisp of gray, semi-transparent light slowly lit up on Li Cheng頤's left arm.

That was death energy.

But it was an extremely weak trace of death energy.

If the death energy that the Skeleton Mage ignited in his hand was one hundred, then the light on Li Cheng頤's left arm at this time was 0.1.

"But no matter what, I've finally started!!" Li Cheng頤 opened his eyes and recalled the state at the last moment when the death energy was generated.

Strangely, his massive mental power, which had been strengthened by the Holy Spirit Skill and the Shadow Dragon bloodline, was actually much more peaceful than before after these eight meditations.

It was also much quieter.

It was as if many impurities had been eliminated during these few days of meditation.

*Puff.*

Gently closing the book, Li Cheng頤 stood up and raised his left hand.

A faint gray light lit up on his arm.

The light was not strong, but it was the beginning of everything.

"Next is engraving. How to obtain engraving characteristics is the key to everything."

Having finally started, Li Cheng頤 felt much better. He took out the food he had prepared in advance and quickly finished eating.

Then he found a place to solve the excretion problem, returned to his original position, and prepared to continue studying.

The food and drink were pre-prepared compressed nutritional canned goods, with water, meat, and vegetables, all packed together, convenient and worry-free.

This was a special supply customized by Ming Yuan for those who entered the dead angle.

Back in his seat, Li Cheng頤 happened to see the Skeleton Mage condense and reappear.

It was sitting in a seat in front of him.

"I'm very happy to see you again. I'll tell you a universal law."

"That is, 1 is definitely equal to 1."

The Skeleton Mage had just gotten up halfway, and a ball of gray death energy flame condensed in his hand. It was influenced by the power of flower language and sat down again.

"Very good, it seems you agree with what I said." Li Cheng頤 nodded, "Now, let me see the death energy flame in your hand. Don't refuse, or I may be rude to you."

Perhaps he was lonely and bored, he tried to make the activation of flower language more natural, as if he was really chatting with the other party.

The benefit of this was that others would not easily detect the activation principle of this flower language.

Immediately, the Skeleton Mage held the death energy flame in his palm, stretched it forward, and held it in front of Li Cheng頤.

The palm-sized death energy flame had flames shooting more than ten centimeters high, constantly jumping and burning.

The flame was semi-transparent. It had no smell and was somewhat cold.

Li Cheng頤 looked at the flame, thought for a while, and stretched out his hand.

His left hand had now returned to its original state, and his fingers were also covered with a layer of gray death energy.

'According to the classics, death energy can be devoured and fused with each other. Or rather, death energy must be devoured and fused from the outside world, because the mage himself cannot continuously generate death energy. Only true dead things can continuously generate death energy.'

'So theoretically, I can eat these death energy.'

Li Cheng頤 cautiously controlled the death energy, like dipping a brush in ink, *biu* dipping a little out of the death energy flame.

His death energy density seemed to be much stronger than the Skeleton Mage's by nature.

The difference between the two was like the difference between a stone and tofu.

The Holy Spirit Skill and the Shadow Dragon bloodline still brought a lot of benefits.

The strength and density of the death energy generated from him were also much higher than ordinary death energy.

Relying on this benefit.

Li Cheng頤 dipped and left.

Then he controlled his own death energy, wrapped the Skeleton Mage's death energy, stirred it, and then used the exercise method in the Silent Meditation Method to absorb and assimilate it.
