Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Although the two parties have reached a cooperation, there is no such thing as trust. Xue Si wants to use the strength of these people, and Li Ang and the others also need to use the knowledge in Xue Si's head.

The two sides are just taking what they need.

"What happened? What happened?"

Yawning, Xue Si asked a little sleepily.

Li Ang didn't hide anything, and told him what happened to Magellan.

Hearing what Li Ang said, Xuan Cheng looked dazed. Obviously, the monitoring methods he set up did not find anything yesterday, but Xue Si's expression was a little strange. Judging by his expression, he might know something.

The moment Xue Si saw Magellan, Xue Si had already noticed the strangeness in her. At that time, Xue Si even planned to use this matter to threaten Li Ang, but now they have more important things to deal with, and both of them agree. It was silently not mentioned.

With Magellan in a coma, the matter was brought back to the fore.

Xue Si knew in his heart that it was no longer the time for him to pretend to be confused, so he pondered a little in his heart and said to Li Ang, "I have a guess, but I want to see the little girl's condition first."

Facing Xue Si, Li Ang nodded slowly, "Okay, then go and have a look."

So the three of them brought the bewildered Xuancheng to the tent where several women lived.

At this time, everyone in the tent woke up and was surrounding Magellan's bed.

"How is she doing?"

"It's not very good." Jing Zhe's face showed a bit of worry, "I can't wake her up, and I can't be sure what happened to her."

At this distance, Li Ang reconfirmed that there was no problem with the few blockades he left in Magellan's body.

"Go away, let me take a look."

Xuesi waved his arms impatiently, drove away the people around Magellan, and squeezed in by himself.

But when he walked to Magellan's bed and saw Magellan's current state, Xue Si was stunned, because Magellan's state was somewhat different from what he expected.

Because according to his expectation, Magellan should be lying on the bed shivering like a person who is about to freeze to death, but the Magellan he saw had a ruddy complexion, and there was no sign of this.

"It seems something is not quite right..." Xue Si muttered in a low voice.

Hearing Xue Si's muttering, Li Ang had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked quickly, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

"Don't worry, let me try it first." Xue Si stretched out his hand to signal Li Ang to be calm, and then greeted Simone beside him, "Simone, come here."

Following Xue Si's instructions, Simone walked over silently.

Grabbing Simona's arm, Xuesi used his nails to draw a small wound on her skin, and squeezed out a few drops of blood from it.

Catching the blood with an ice container that was condensed at hand, Xuesi opened Magellan's mouth and dripped the blood into it.

The others just watched silently, and no one stood up to object.

Li Ang wanted to stop it, but if he stopped Xue Si, he couldn't come up with any effective means now.

The number of times Originium Therapy has treated Magellan has reached the upper limit. If you do a few more treatments in a short period of time, Magellan will probably skip all the early symptoms of ore disease and directly enter the final crystallization stage, and the whole person will become a piece of quality. Not low source stone crystals.

You can only try again after Magellan's blood crystal density drops.

So it's better to let Xue Si have a try, this matter was originally caused by them, and they should have the corresponding treatment methods in their hands.

After swallowing Simone's blood, Magellan was unresponsive and did not miraculously emerge from his coma.

Before anyone could urge him, Xue Si couldn't hold back his own face. He gritted his teeth and said with a painful face, "Don't worry, try mine this time."

He repeated the same trick, and also drew a wound on his arm.

However, the blood flowing out of the wound was not bright red, but a pale pink color that seemed to have been bleached, almost transparent.

【Isn't that the way to go? 】

With such thoughts in mind, Xuesi viciously poured the few drops of suspected blood into it.

After waiting for a few minutes, Magellan was still lying on the bed with his usual expression. His blood, like Simone's, had no effect at all.

After realizing this, Xue Si's beard shook violently twice.

"It shouldn't be...why is it like this?" Xue Si murmured to himself in a low voice, then suddenly thought of something, turned his head abruptly, and asked, "Aren't you stealing Xue Si's power? "

Li Ang's reaction was even more surprising than that of Xue Si, "What did you say? Is Xue Si's power very powerful? Why did we steal that crap?"

Xuesi wanted to refute subconsciously, but when he thought of what happened yesterday, he also became listless.

Compared with that kind of power, Xue Si's power can only be called a 'broken thing'.

Chapter 87 Inhuman

Xue Si groaned twice, but finally did not refute what Li Ang said just now.

He said slowly, "The pendant I saw before must have been obtained from a certain Xue Priest, right? No need to refute, I feel the power of our Xue Priest in this little girl's body."

Xue Si originally thought that this little girl, like those countless idiots, suffered backlash because of stealing Xue Si's power. .

Some of the more valuable people among them, the Xue Priests will also take action to save them. Only a few drops of Xue Priest's blood are needed to curb the backlash of power.

But now, this tried and tested method suddenly lost its effect.

That's fine with Simone, she hasn't become a formal snow priest after all, the power in her blood may not be enough, but what about him?He had already endured the pain to bleed, but it still didn't help at all.

Unless, his guess was wrong from the beginning.

"...Since you didn't steal the power of our Xue Priest, what did you do?"

"She thought that the pendant might be quite valuable, so she secretly took it off."

"That's all?" Xue Si twitched the corners of his mouth, and his mood didn't seem particularly calm.

valuable?What did she take Xue Si's identity certificate for?

Well...but what the other party said was right, that pendant is indeed quite valuable.

"Since you can't think of a solution, then let me ask the question. It just so happens that I have a few things I want to know."

Li Ang moved his hands, and the armor made a rattling sound, which made Xue Priest beside him stiffen, and even his breathing became heavy.

"Why use your blood? What's so special about your blood?"

Xue Si squeezed his staff, and was hesitating whether to answer Li Ang's question, when a light voice came from beside him.

"Because ordinary people's bodies can't bear the power of Xue Si, after swallowing our blood, they can temporarily resist the erosion of that power."

"Simone... you!!"

It was Simone who hadn't said a word for several days who answered Li Ang just now.

Xue Si did not expect that Simone would dare to tell the secret about Xue Si without his permission.

"Tell them, my lord." Simone said very calmly, "There is no point in hiding it now."

"You shouldn't make a decision on your own!" Xue Si glared at Simona angrily.

Simone looked at Xue Priest without timidity, "If this time it still fails, Xue Priest's inheritance may be cut off by our generation, and no matter how many secrets are concealed, it will not help."

This made Li Ang discover an interesting place.

Although Simone called this 'Xue Priest' an adult, the relationship between them was not purely a superior-subordinate relationship, and even Simona's status was slightly higher than that of this Xue Priest.

It seems that Simone's identity is not that simple.

The two stalemate for a few minutes, and finally Xue Si gave in. He sighed and said, "If that's what you think about, then do as you want."

Simone nodded slightly, took the right to speak from Xue Si, and then said to Li Ang and his party, "This matter must start with the inheritance of Xue Si's power."

"This is a decision we made arbitrarily and arbitrarily in an emergency, and other snow priests may not approve of it, so please don't spread it around after hearing it, this is also for your consideration."

Everyone nodded. None of the people present were the kind of people with big mouths. The only person who might not be able to control his mouth had already passed out. Simona could tell the whole story without worrying about Leon and others leaking the secret. .

"Actually...after passing the trial, Xue Priest is no longer a human being."

"What did you say??"

Everyone doesn't quite understand, they can't be regarded as human beings... What exactly does this mean?

On the contrary, Li Ang's heart moved slightly, as if thinking of some possibility, he opened his perception quietly and swept towards Simone's body.

"It literally means that the body of ordinary people cannot withstand the power of the snow sacrifice, so the first step of the mountain sacrifice ceremony is to transform the body."

Simona's tone didn't fluctuate at all, as if she was talking about something unrelated to her, "The first step is to implant the ice crystal tree... the kind of bug you mentioned into the body, as long as it can survive, it can carry snow the power of worship."

These words made everyone present feel horrified. Although the temperature inside the camp was very suitable, they still felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and goose bumps crawled all over their backs in an instant.

Implanting ice crystal trees...that disgusting bug into their bodies, their bodies...what the hell did they turn into in the end?No wonder Simone said that Xue Si was no longer considered human.

They subconsciously looked at Xue Si and Simone.

Simona accepted these scrutinizing gazes frankly, while Xuesi closed her eyes directly, as if she was very disdainful of everyone's astonishment.

From the outside, there is no difference between the two of them and ordinary people, but in essence they have become two completely different species.

At this moment, Adele suddenly remembered the behavior of the two of them just now, and asked rather uneasy, "What about Magellan? Will she become like you?"

I'm afraid not everyone can accept that their bodies are messed up by those disgusting bugs.

"Don't worry, what you worry about won't happen."

Simone shook her head, "Our blood... doesn't have that effect, at most it can only slow down the erosion of Xue Priest's power."

"Also... It would be great if the transformation was as easy as you said. Not everyone has that kind of qualification. I'm afraid that only one case of such an existence can be found for every 10,000+ people."

Hearing this, Adele breathed a sigh of relief.

"I already performed the first step ceremony last year, so this time I can skip it."

"The next step is to go to the center of the lake and accept the power that belongs to Xue Si... It was here that something went wrong last time."

Because of some incomprehensible accident, the ceremony of inheriting power failed, and Simone did not become a real snow priest. The snow priest who presided over the ceremony last year, as well as Adele's parents, all died in this accident.

Simone paused for a few seconds to give everyone a little time to digest the news she just said.

Just when she was about to continue talking, Li Ang suddenly interrupted her.

"Excuse me, I have a question. If you only complete the transformation of the body, but don't have the strength to bear the snow priest, just like Miss Simone."

"In the end...what will happen? I don't think it's as simple as death?"

"Let me guess... Could it be turning into a monster?"

Chapter 88 Ice-free Lake

As Li Ang's voice fell, Xue Si, who had already given up the initiative, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li Ang intently.

After a while, like a deflated ball, he let out a deep breath from his chest, "You guessed right... Sometimes I wonder if you're just pretending. things that can be guessed."

"Thank you, I just know a little more than others, and then make some reasonable inferences on this basis."

When he carefully checked the bodies of Simona and Xuesi just now, Li Ang discovered that there was not much difference between Xuesi's body and the body of ordinary people, but there was something abnormal about Simona.

Her body... how should I put it, the vitality is too strong, even if one of Simona's arms is cut off, Li Ang doubts that the arm can grow back by itself.

This kind of vitality was obviously abnormal. According to Simona's bleeding volume, most people would probably die within a few days, but Simona persisted in this situation for a year.

I'm afraid... This abnormal amount of bleeding is not the result of the failure of the ritual, but caused by Simone herself, in order to suppress the abnormal vitality in the body with a large amount of blood loss.

[Only the transformed body can withstand the power of Xuesi. 】

These are the exact words of Simone.

If you think about it in this direction, it is easy to guess what the power of Xue Si is.

Li Ang had noticed when he fought Xue Si before that what he mastered was not a simple spell like 'ice', but a more obscure and more essential ability.

If one had to use words to describe it, the word 'death' might be more appropriate. Ice and snow are just the external manifestation of this power.

Using the power of 'death' to fight against that abnormal life force, so as to achieve a fragile balance between the two, this is the real secret of Xue Si.

However, this is a trick after all. If one day this balance is broken, no matter which force has the upper hand, Xue Si's final fate may not be very good.

This is roughly Xue Si's secret. Although Li Ang has almost guessed the truth, he didn't tell these things to save enough face for Xue Si.

"...The second step of the ceremony is to go to the Unfrozen Lake to accept the power of the Snow Priest, so as to strike a balance between the two."

"But we have never seen this little girl's state. It's very strange...Why can such a body withstand the power of Shu Xuesai?"

Because I restricted that thing.

Li Ang couldn't help rolling his eyes, but because of the helmet, none of them noticed Li Ang's little move.
