Chapter 144 File VII: High-Vicious Crisis (35)
Xue Rou asked in shock, "Are you banned?"

Antarctic forbidden area
I nodded with difficulty, she will know this fact sooner or later.

"How is this possible?" Even after hearing my confession, Xue Rou still couldn't accept it.

"When I was very young, the forbidden virus was planted in my body, but it has been dormant without attacking. Until yesterday I was completely awakened..." I pointed to my blood-stained left eye and said.

"It's not your fault," Xue Rou hurriedly defended me: "You haven't done anything bad!"

"He has already done it," Pang Tiansheng said with a sneer. "He personally killed the president of the union, that is, his father Jian Zili. Now the whole union is hunting him down. He has no chance to be a good person again."

"It's not true," Xue Rou looked at me and begged, "Tell me it's not true."

I nodded helplessly: "It's true."

Xue Rou took two steps back, and said with tears in her eyes: "You know that what I hate the most is the ban, and my father was killed by the ban and disappeared...Since you are the ban, why do you want to save me?"

I said slowly word by word: "Because, no matter I am a good person or a bad person, in my heart, you are always the most important person."

Xue Rou shook her head in great pain, "You know, I can't."

"I know," I said softly, "so just get you somewhere safe and I'm leaving."

"I think we really have to leave." Pang Tiansheng pointed his flashlight at a part of the tunnel, and saw a circular hole in the wall.

Unlike the cracks caused by the pressure, the hole was obviously dug out, and there were many huge eggshells scattered around the hole.

This shows that the monitor lizard dug through the tunnel a long time ago and used it as a nest. There are so many eggshells scattered on the ground, how many monitor lizards are there in the tunnel?
Pang Tiansheng turned around and walked towards the other end of the tunnel. I dragged Xue Rou along. She stubbornly wanted to break free, but how could I let her break free? She had no choice but to follow.

As I walked forward, I found that the damage to this tunnel was much more serious than expected. Many places had large-scale collapses, and even cut them off completely.

From the broken part of the tunnel wall, it can be seen that it is made of reinforced concrete with a thickness of more than one meter. Such a thickness should be able to withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb.But it is still so badly damaged that it is conceivable that something very terrible must have happened here.

Due to the collapse and destruction of the tunnel, it is very difficult to travel, and often feel that there is no way to go, but Pang Tiansheng can always find another fork, or a crack to pass through.

But the road led by Pang Tiansheng was going further and further down, Xue Rou couldn't help asking: "Where are you going to take us, is there a way out if you go all the way down like this?"

Pang Tiansheng replied: "There are monitor lizard footprints everywhere on the top, but there are no footprints on the bottom, which shows that they don't like the environment below."

"But there's also a second possibility," I interfaced, "that there's something they're afraid of down there."

Pang Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, and said falteringly, "Well, there is also this possibility."

"Let's not go around in circles," I said simply, "you brought us here for your mission."

Pang Tiansheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "As expected of number one, I can't hide anything from you. Since you have already guessed my intentions, you should know where this is, right?"

I said without hesitation: "Base 8201, when the operation to ban the invasion of the Temple of Atlan failed, a powerful bomb was detonated. Because there is a huge cave under the base, the entire base sank and became what it is now. The nuclear material in the base was leaked due to the explosion, causing genetic mutations in the tiankeng."

"But the explosion that year must have failed to achieve the set goal, otherwise there would be no subsequent trade unions. You came this time to complete the task that was not completed last time."

The smile on Pang Tiansheng's face froze, and then gradually turned into coldness. The weak and deceitful little man disappeared, and standing in front of us was the Providential Master who stood above fate.

At this time, there was a dense "cracking" sound from behind. From the sound, I judged that this was the monitor lizard approaching rapidly, and there was more than one of them!
"Quick!" Pang Tiansheng yelled, and jumped out from the opening of the tunnel. We followed suit and saw that this was an extremely wide underground cave. The condition inside.

Pang Tiansheng grabbed the bumps on the stone wall and climbed up a large stone platform. I saw that the stone platform was more than 30 meters high, and it was impossible for Xue Rou to climb it, so I picked her up without saying a word.

This time Xue Rou was surprisingly obedient, she didn't struggle, she just hugged my shoulders tightly, she also understood that it was a matter of life and death, and if we continued to entangle, everyone would be unable to escape.

Although my strength is already far superior to ordinary people, I can't do anything on this rocky wall with only tiny bumps, and Pang Tiansheng, who is thin and thin, is even more advantageous. I only climbed halfway, and he has already climbed to the platform.

Those "cracking" sounds had already come to my feet, Xue Rou exclaimed "ah", "They are climbing up!"

My heart was flustered, my toes were in the air, and I was about to slide down. Fortunately, a rope was thrown from above at this time.

"Hurry up!" It was Pang Tiansheng, who finally didn't leave us behind.

With the rope, my strength can be used. I grasp the rope with both hands, keep my body perpendicular to the stone wall, and "run" up with both feet on the ground.

As soon as I climbed onto the platform, I was immediately shocked by the sight in front of me!

Just like the secret file Tang Ke described to me, a magnificent white temple is "inlaid" on the stone wall at the end of the platform.The platform wasn't as wide as the file said, and the explosion should have blown away most of it, but the explosion that collapsed the entire base did not cause any damage to the temple itself.

Pang Tiansheng had already run towards the gate of the temple, and I quickly followed behind.

"Let me come down!" Xue Rou jumped off my back and landed in front of the temple door with both knees.

"What are you doing?" I don't understand, Xue Rou should know nothing about this temple, why is she so revered when she sees it?

"I don't know," Xue Rou murmured, "I was very excited when I saw it, as if... I came home!"

There was a strange smile on Pang Tiansheng's face. He walked to the gate and touched the extremely complicated circular coat of arms on the gate.I know that he wants to use the Promise Magic Brain to crack the key to open the door, but I don't know if it is possible and how long it will take to complete the cracking?

I turned around anxiously, just in time to see a monitor lizard emerging from the edge of the platform, and then the second, third..., a total of six monitor lizards climbed up the platform and surrounded us in a half-moon shape.

The eyes of death are now useless, and if they attack, I will have to use my last weapon desperately.

The strange thing is that these monitor lizards just show their teeth and claws and put on a show, but they don't really pounce on them.I know there must be something that makes them feel afraid instinctively, so they dare not attack. Could it be that the thing they fear is behind the door?

At this time, another monitor lizard climbed onto the platform. This monitor lizard was a quarter larger than the others of the same kind. It must be their leader.

As soon as the monitor lizard king appeared, those monitor lizards rushed over in unison as if they had been ordered.

At this moment, Pang Tiansheng screamed excitedly: "I opened it!"

Suddenly, there was an abnormally strong light shining from behind me, and the whole world seemed to turn white, so bright that I could hardly keep my eyes open.

At the same time, a gust of wind passed by me, and then I heard the "hissing" roar of the giant lizards, and the loud sound of their bodies slapping on the rocks.

After a few seconds, my eyes finally adjusted to the light in front of me, and I saw a white shadow fighting with seven monitor lizards.

Although my reaction ability is far superior to that of ordinary people, I can barely see that the white shadow is a creature that looks very similar to a horse, but this creature has a sharp horn more than two feet long on its head— — Isn’t this the legendary unicorn?

The size of the unicorn is only a fraction of that of the monitor lizard, but its movements are extremely fast and agile. It shuttles and leaps among the monitor lizards, and can always easily avoid the bite of the monitor lizard. As soon as the giant lizard stabbed and picked it, a huge wound was opened immediately.

After just a few face-to-face meetings, several monitor lizards lay down on their stomachs, but I saw that the monitor lizard king hadn't moved, as if it was waiting for a better opportunity.

When the unicorn attacked the fourth monitor lizard, the tail of a monitor lizard that had fallen to the ground twitched reflexively. The unicorn was caught off guard by the giant tail, and the horse stumbled and fell to the ground.

The monitor lizard king jumped out suddenly. Its attack could be said to have been prepared for a long time. It was as fast as lightning, and it swallowed the unicorn whole in its mouth.

I sighed in my heart, I didn't expect this brave beast to be no match for the giant lizard's siege after all.

Suddenly, a sharp horn protruded from the top of the monitor lizard king's head, and then the horn swiped back and forth, cutting a hole, and the unicorn struggled to crawl out of the hole.

When the remaining monitor lizards saw that the leader was dead, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and turned around and fled away.

The unicorn, covered in blood, limped towards us.

I can't help but be more vigilant. Although this thing is injured, it is still difficult to deal with if it attacks us.

But the attitude of the unicorn didn't look hostile. It walked up to Xue Rou, and fell down as soon as its body softened.

Xue Rou touched it with heartache and said, "You are so brave, pony, thank you for saving us!" The unicorn even licked Xue Rou's hand gently with its tongue, as if it was very intimate with her.

Pang Tiansheng winked at me and quietly walked into the temple, and I quickly followed.

Pang Tiansheng's face was full of uncontrollable excitement. After all, the gate of the temple, which had never been opened for more than 1 years, was finally opened by him, but when he saw the scene inside the gate clearly, his face became serious again.

If you say that the temple is already very big from the outside, but only when you get inside do you know what is really big—it turns out to be the space of the entire universe.

Above our heads is the endless universe, with galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters glowing with various colors, densely packed and countless; while under our feet is the blue earth. I seem to be looking down from the space department hundreds of kilometers away.The profound and grand feeling made it impossible for me to tell whether this was an illusion or reality.

There is only a narrow and winding stone bridge in front of us leading to the depths of the void, but it is a stone bridge of contradictions.

On the surface, it seems that it leads from the low to the high, but it looks like it goes from the high to the low.Obviously that section is the bridge deck, but when you look down, it turns into a side; it even looks like it should be the front, but when you look down, it feels like it should be the reverse...

I feel like my logic is killing each other, neither side is right, but how can both be wrong; the fact is that neither is possible, but the fact is that both exist...

If this goes on like this, I'm really going to go crazy.

"Don't look at it." Pang Tiansheng said with a sneer, "This is a logic maze. Close your eyes and listen to my footsteps."

After he finished speaking, he strode up the stone bridge, and I closed my eyes and followed.

It must be admitted that this is difficult, because you know that there is an endless void outside this narrow bridge, and as long as you step into the void, you will be doomed, so every step is under great pressure in your heart, and you want to stop and open your eyes. look.

But Pang Tiansheng's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and sometimes he takes big steps. I know that I can't stop, as long as I stop, I will be crushed by psychological pressure.Simply put your mind aside, get rid of distracting thoughts, and run along with him.

After a sudden jump, Pang Tiansheng stopped suddenly and said, "Here we are."

I opened my eyes and found myself on a platform suspended in the void, a stream of crystal blue clear spring water emerged from the void and poured into the pool in the center of the platform.The water in the pool was just full, and it was as quiet as a mirror. The water kept flowing in, but there was no ripple or overflow.

A woman in white clothes is suspended in the pool. At first glance, she looks like a girl, but from another angle, she is wrinkled and gray-haired.

"Kill her quickly, and our mission will be completed!" Pang Tiansheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Why?" Before I figured out the ins and outs, I certainly wouldn't listen to his instructions at will.

Pang Tiansheng replied: "Because she is Thetis, the last saint of Atlantis, she has the original scripture in her body."

"The original heavenly book?" Although I used to be a worker and owned the heavenly book, I don't know what the original heavenly book is?
"Do you know how many heavenly books the union has?" Pang Tiansheng asked me back.

"It seems to be fourteen books." I replied that as far as I know, each book can develop unique abilities, but I have only seen some of them.

Pang Tiansheng shook his head and said, "Wrong, there is only one real heavenly book."

"The Book of Heaven is an intelligent program. After it is introduced into the human body, it will adjust itself according to the characteristics of the human body and develop the most suitable ability for him. But this adjusted copy will lose part of the code compared to the original. If it is transferred to other people, It also loses the ability to adjust again.”

"The adjustment that is beneficial to the first person may not be beneficial to the second person, so after the second copy of the Heavenly Book, its ability will be weakened." I understood it all at once.

"That's right," Pang Tiansheng nodded and said, "The more times the book is copied, the more codes will be lost and the ability will be weaker. In order to maintain the strength of the union, all core members will be brought here to be granted a first-level copy. And a little guy like you before will only be granted a second or even third level dungeon."

I was annoyed for a while, no wonder my previous abilities were always far behind other workers. It turned out that my book of heaven was just an "abbreviated version".

"For thousands of years, the guild has been resurrected from the dead. The reason is because she retains the original book. As long as she is killed, the guild will lose its ability to regenerate. Even if we don't take action, they will continue to decline until they perish."

"Can we kill her?" I asked cautiously. Don't look at this woman lying in the water as if she fell asleep, but since she is the holder of the original heavenly book, she should naturally have the strongest ability.

Pang Tiansheng said: "In order to maintain the integrity of the original book, she only keeps it and never uses it, so she doesn't have any supernatural powers."

"Why don't you do it yourself?" I was wondering, since she has no supernatural powers and is lying here still, anyone can kill her.

Pang Tiansheng pulled out his pistol and fired three shots at Thetis in the water, but the bullets went straight through as if they hadn't touched anything.

"This fountain of life can maintain her eternal life in a dormant state, and can also defend against any attack. Only your light of death can kill her through the fountain."

"Hurry up!" Pang Tiansheng urged, "Kill her, and we won't have to worry about the threat of the trade union anymore!"

"I understand," I nodded, "but before killing her, I must also be assured that I can reach the pole."

"You have become a great hero of the ban. Why does the devil not accept you? Besides, your ability is also needed to hunt down the remnants of the trade union." Pang Tiansheng asked back.

I still said uncompromisingly: "We are being hunted down by the trade union all the time. How do I know that you will be able to return to the extreme point alive? If you die halfway, I will be in vain. You have to tell me the extreme point first." Where?"

Pang Tiansheng looked at me suspiciously, and I stared at him fearlessly, letting him know that this was my condition and there was no room for bargaining.

"Even if I die, as long as you complete the task, someone will come to take you back to the Pole. However, to make you feel at ease, I can also tell you the ultimate secret, the Pole is the South Pole." Pang Tiansheng finally gave in.
