Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Being heavy also has the advantage of being heavy. The wind at this level cannot shake Li Ang's body at all.
After a few jumps, Li Ang saw an exposed rock wall with nothing growing on it, only the traces left by the erosion of rain all year round.
From a slightly higher place, you can vaguely see a naturally formed cave. Zhao Youcai originally seemed to have planned to climb here to take shelter from the rain and flash floods. He was indeed very familiar with everything on this road.
Entering the cave, the sound of the howling wind and rain outside suddenly became much quieter, throwing the somewhat lost Zhao Youcai to the ground aside. He had not yet recovered from the thrill just now.
Li Ang looked outside, it seemed... he was going to stay here for a while.
With such heavy rain and flash floods, it is impossible to go out...
On the other side, closer to the core of the Tianyue Mountains, the rain here is several times stronger than on the outside of the mountains. The rain has even gathered on the ground to form a rushing 'river'. If you accidentally slip and fall in , no one knows where it will be washed away.
But in this turbid river, there was a small boat made entirely of ice, with people No. [-] and [-] densely packed on it.
The boat disappeared and appeared in the river, and it seemed that it might be swallowed by the turbulent water at any time.
A strong man with a sinewy face on the boat was grabbing a thin young man by the collar and yelling angrily, "Damn it, what kind of weather is this? How did you become a guide??"
"me……"
The wind mixed with the rain poured into the young man's mouth, making it impossible for him to speak a complete sentence.
"Okay, boss, we can't blame him. The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so we can only be unlucky." Someone next to us advised.
The man was holding a short staff as long as his forearm, and the Originium crystal inlaid on the top was emitting a faint blue light. The ice ship under their feet seemed to be maintained by this man.
"Hmph, spare your life."
After hearing what he said, the strong man could only loosen the young man's collar and throw him on the cold deck of the ship.
Chapter 69 Pirate Ship
"Cough cough cough..."
The young man fell on the board of the boat with a face of pain. He felt like his lungs were being coughed out, and his nose and tears were streaming all over his face.
He already regrets it now. Why did he agree to this hard job for a little money?Although... these people do give a lot.
But now it is no longer a question of more money and less money. He is likely to die in the hands of these moody guys.
Just because of a mistake that was almost impossible to foresee in advance, he was almost strangled to death by this guy who was full of muscles!He was not the Supervisor of Qintian, so how could he have predicted that it would rain heavily today?
What's more, the rainstorm came so suddenly and violently. In his more than 20 years of memory, this kind of weird weather had never happened before.
It's like... someone has offended this mountain range...
The young man curled up and slowly calmed down the discomfort coming from all parts of his body. Unfortunately, the other people on the boat didn't give him much time.
He felt someone kicking him a few times. Although the force was not very strong, for a young man who was a little weak at this time, he still felt a heartbreaking pain.
"Hey, Zhao Ping'an, get up quickly, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, look where we are now?"
"Don't call me Zhao An!" The young man endured the pain and climbed up from the ground, saying angrily, "My name is Zhao An..."
But before the young man could finish his words, he received another slap on the head.
"Who cares whether your name is Zhao Ping'an or Zhao Ping'an? If you take my money, just work for me honestly and stop talking nonsense!"
Zhao Pingan...or maybe Zhao Anping was filled with resentment, but he still didn't dare to say anything. He walked to the bow of the ship honestly and squinted his eyes to observe the surrounding situation.
Zhao Ping'an was the name given to him by his father, hoping that he could spend his life in peace.
But there is an infected father, and it is obviously impossible for him to live a peaceful life, which makes his feelings towards his father very complicated.
On the one hand, his life has become a mess because of his identity, and on the other hand, he has clearly seen his father's painful struggle over the years.
Maybe it was because of the belated period of resistance, or maybe he simply felt that the name Zhao Anping was a bit earthy, so he changed the order of his name slightly and told others that his name was Zhao Anping.
Of course, the name on his talisman remains unchanged.
Wiping the rain off his face, Zhao Anping squinted his eyes and looked towards the mountains in the distance with the help of the fleeting light of lightning in the sky.
With the help of the shadows of the distant mountains, Zhao Anping recalled the terrain around the Tianyue Mountains and roughly determined their current location.
"We...were probably swept a mile to the west by the flash flood." Zhao Anping did not answer.
"Huh? What do you mean? Put it in a way that I can understand." The strong man shouted confidently.
"...We probably started from here yesterday."
"Huh? Didn't you get rushed back?"
Walking by water is much easier than climbing a mountain. Judging from the speed of the flash flood, they may be washed into the Xijiang River in a short time, and then they will have to go through the journey all over again.
The boat suddenly became noisy. Several people took out oars made of Originium technology and rowed hard on both sides of the boat, trying to fight against the rapid water below.
Unfortunately, their efforts were only a drop in the bucket, and the boat was still being swept away by the flash flood at a slow and irreversible speed.
But this has nothing to do with Zhao Ping'an. Anyway, he is just responsible for leading the way. As for whether these people can reach Linghai Peak, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he just needs to get the money.
I don’t know what happened to this group of people after they were full, but they insisted on drilling into the Tianyue Mountains.
Zhao Anping originally thought that these people were wanted horse thieves or something, and he was going to flee into the mountains to avoid capture... But something was wrong when he thought about it. Why did the horse thieves need a guide?
The leader of the reckless man said that they were going to the mountains for archeology. Zhao Anping didn't believe a word of it at first, but when he saw the Celestial Masters in the team, he had to believe it.
That's the Heavenly Master...
Even the hardest-working civil engineering master is still a Celestial Master. As long as he graduates from the Celestial Master's Mansion, countless companies and companies are rushing to get him. Even if he fails to graduate, as long as he can learn a few skills from the Celestial Master's Mansion. Yes, you can also find a good job.
When Zhao Anping was a child, his dream was to become a heavenly master, no matter what kind.
However, the cruel reality told him that he did not have any adaptability to the Origin Stone skills and had not even reached the threshold to enter the Tianshi Mansion.
But among the dozen or so people in this team, nearly half are heavenly masters. When they encountered a flash flood just now, they easily used various spells to resolve the crisis, and even made a way to survive the flash flood. A moving 'ice ship'.
With so many genuine heavenly masters, their words have a lot of credibility.
What's more, they are indeed generous. As long as they can bring them to Linghai Peak, they can make money that he may not be able to make in more than ten years.
The only advantage Zhao Anping has over others may be that he has accompanied his father into the Tianyue Mountains many times since he was very young, and is very familiar with the terrain here. Although he has never actually climbed over Linghai Peak, But it is still possible to bring them to the foot of Linghai Peak.
In this way, Zhao Anping got on the pirate ship in a daze because of this money.
Suddenly, Zhao Pingan felt that the surroundings seemed to become a little quiet.
The sound of wind and rain nearby showed no sign of decreasing, but... I don't know when, all the noisy sounds from other people on the boat disappeared.
Zhao Anping suddenly felt a thump in his heart and turned around with some trepidation, looking behind him.
Everyone else on the boat had stopped what they were doing and allowed the boat to drift in the torrent, while they stared at Zhao Anping's back without saying a word.
A bolt of lightning pierced the dark cloud-covered sky, making the expressions on these people's faces even more bizarre. The expressionless faces seemed to have a strange smile on them.
Here we go again... again...
Zhao Anping could endure it if he was just treated roughly by them.
He has suffered a lot over the years. Just a few kicks are nothing, but the problem is... he is afraid!These people sometimes behave not like living humans at all, but more like walking zombies.
Zhao Anping felt that his legs were going weak. He barely supported his body and asked in a slightly crying voice, "What, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Chapter 70 Mountain God
The scene in front of him was indescribably absurd and evil. If he had known that this group of people was like this, he...he would probably still accept this commission.
After all, Zhao Anping was really short of money, and these people would only become weird like this occasionally, and they wouldn't do anything to him. They just had to be patient and get over it.
Just when Zhao Anping closed his eyes and continued to hypnotize himself, the situation around him finally changed.
It was as if a switch had been activated on those people, and their respective expressions appeared on their faces again, becoming more alive. The next second, Zhao Anping felt another slap on his head.
"Who the hell is looking at you? Stop being so sentimental."
Although he was a little stunned by the beating, this actually made Zhao Anping breathe a sigh of relief.
This group of people is really evil, and their violent behavior makes Zhao Anping feel inexplicably at ease. After all, if they don't move, who knows what terrible things they will do.
After slapping Zhao Anping, the strong man ignored him and turned to the middle-aged mustache holding a short staff behind him and shouted, "Old Wu! How long can you hold on? Tell me. Let brothers be prepared."
"At most... I can only hold on for one more hour." Although Mustache looked calm on the surface, his trembling beard betrayed his current state. He was definitely not as relaxed as he seemed. .
"An hour..." The strong man pondered for a moment, and then shouted to the others, "Brothers, try harder! At least run out of the water!"
"We have worked hard for so long and we cannot give up because of such a small accident!"
"Oh!!!"
Hearing the shouts of the strong man, the other people on the boat rowed harder and harder, and for a while they actually had the momentum to go upstream.
However, Zhao Anping only felt a deep chill welling up from deep in his heart.
These people... didn't realize what was wrong with them at all, and the strange silence just now did not exist in their memories at all.
Zhao Anping didn't dare to ask or say anything. He could only huddle in the corner and tremble... Before he broke this point, he had never encountered any danger. If he broke through the paper window, he would appear instead. What unexpected turn of events?He didn't want to die in an unknown way.
So he could only pray silently in his heart.
No matter who it is... no matter what happens, he just wants to separate from these people quickly. It doesn't matter even if he can't get the remaining money. If he continues to stay here, he suspects that he will be tortured and go crazy.
Maybe there really was something that heard Zhao Anping's prayer. After the boat they were traveling on tried hard to move forward for a certain distance, it suddenly seemed to hit something hard.
The people on the boat suddenly fell over, and Zhao Anping was almost thrown into the flood. Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands to help the people beside him.At the same time, there was a series of crunching sounds from the bottom of the boat. Mustache's face turned pale, but he could barely maintain his spell.
"What the hell??"
The strong man yelled, but no one could answer his question.
Zhao Anping, who was always standing on the bow of the ship, also saw a scene that made him feel scared - in the turbid flood, a huge shadow faintly emerged, less than one meter away from them.
"There's something under the water!!"
Zhao Anping shouted with a look of horror.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the thing under the water moved.
The flash flood, which was obviously only one or two meters deep at most, seemed to be connected to a bottomless abyss. Just the movement of the thing when it came out of the water almost capsized their boat.
In the stormy sea, Zhao Anping had difficulty controlling his body. He felt as if something passed over his head just now, but he had no time to see clearly what it was.
When the water flow calmed down a bit and the boat stabilized, Zhao Anping was finally able to see clearly the true appearance of the thing underwater.
When he saw the behemoth standing in the storm, he felt as if he had been deprived of the ability to speak, and there were only two words left in his mind -
"Mountain God!!"
Not long ago, the other side of Mt.
The first wave of flash floods has passed, and what follows is a relatively stable period.
Unless the rainfall surges or plummets again in a short period of time, the flood below will continue for a while, which is somewhat similar to Leon's experience in Casimir not long ago.
However, there are some differences. One is the impact of natural disasters, and the other is just pure natural weather.
But no matter what, they couldn't leave here in a short time. Almost everything around them was submerged by the flash floods. The only thing left exposed was the mountain top where they were standing. Looking at it, it was a vast country.
It is almost impossible to safely survive this raging flood. The flood is mixed with a large number of stones, trees and other man-made garbage washed down from the mountain. If it hits someone, it is not a matter of how long they will be hospitalized. , but how much time is left to deliver his last words.
As long as you have a sound mind and don't plan to compete with a rock to see who is stronger, you won't rush into the water at this time.
"Oh...it's raining so heavily...I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen after just one night."
Standing on the edge of the cave, Nian looked at the violent storm outside and seemed a little eager to give it a try. However, under the gaze of others, she gave up this somewhat tempting idea.
At this time, everyone has returned to reality from the world in the painting, and is ready to clean up the environment in the cave.
If the rain still doesn't stop in the short term, then they will have to stay here for a while.
In the corner of the cave, Zhao Youcai was kneeling on the ground, kneeling in the direction of the mountains with a pious look on his face. He was still mumbling something, as if he was thanking himself for being lucky enough to escape.
But... the person who saved him was obviously nearby. Zhao Youcai not only didn't say anything, but instead knelt down to worship something, which made Li Ang a little unhappy.
"What is he doing?"
"Probably they are worshiping the mountain god here." Xuancheng replied casually.
"...Tianyue Mountain God?"
Xuancheng could see what Li Ang was thinking at a glance, shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with our mission this time. This is just a story made up by the locals."
