Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"I should have some regrets now..." Sang Bian said softly.

This topic is somewhat heavy, but others can also hear it. The reason why Sangpai told this story was just to find someone to talk to.

In fact, it is not suitable to talk about this kind of thing with people you are familiar with, and these people are very suitable.

They had only known each other for a few days, so they were not very familiar with each other, but they would be working together for a long time... Although Sang Bao was forced to do so, they were indeed the most suitable people for Sang Bao to talk to.

"Isn't that a great story?"

After a brief silence, Nian smiled and patted Sang Ping on the shoulder, "Having the courage to go your own way is something most people can't do, right? And... it doesn't matter even if you fail, right? Go back and ask Just apologize to your family, right? There is no doubt that they still love you."

After hearing what Nian said, the expression on Sangpao's face gradually softened.

Even if it's just a word of comfort, when you're struggling with yourself, even a word of comfort from others can sometimes play a huge role.

"But, natural disaster rescue is indeed quite dangerous. Let me think about it... I have learned some small spells that are convenient for moving in contaminated areas. Do you want to learn them?"

"Eh? Is that okay?" Sang Bian's eyes widened.

Although he did not explain his identity, Sangbao could vaguely guess that Nian was not a simple character. After all, the person with these people was the Minister of Dali Temple!

If it hadn't been for this accident, Sangpai might never have seen these big shots in this life.

"It's not a big deal. Anyway, these are some gadgets that have been forgotten by the times. The simple effect may not be as good as a set of protective clothing." Nian waved his hand nonchalantly.

What she can take a fancy to is naturally not something from the street, but technology has been improving over the years. The secret spells of the old era may not be as useful as a modern technological product. A pollution protection spell like this is A prime example.

That kind of spell has very high requirements on the user. Perhaps the only thing that is better than protective clothing is that you don't have to wear a heavy protective clothing all the time.

"Thank you." Sangmi said sincerely.

This kind of magic... cannot be obtained through ordinary means, which is also Mulberry's luck.

"Are you done? I'm sorry to disturb your tender moment."

At this time, an incomprehensible voice interrupted Nian and Sangba.

Of course it would be Xi.

She is very indifferent to people who are not familiar with her, and Sangpai is obviously not among her acquaintances.

Xi had stayed here specially to prepare to mock Nian. It was already very difficult for him to endure listening to Sangpao's story. Now the two of them were actually ready to chat. Xi couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted them.

"...I'll tell you later. Anyway, it's just a few small spells."

Mulberry nodded.

"Okay, I kept you waiting for a long time, my dear sister." Nian showed a somewhat evil smile.

"It doesn't matter, but you better not disappoint me next time." Xi stared back without showing any weakness, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult based on your taste."

Before Nian started telling the story, the two of them started to directly confront each other, but Xi also knew that it was not the time to ridicule yet, so she just said one sentence and then became quiet.

Nian did not rush to tell the story, but closed his mouth and waited quietly.

After the atmosphere was brewing, Nian lowered his voice and said in a sinister tone, "What I want to tell this time is the story of a scientific expedition team."

"Due to various coincidences, seven people who had never met before formed a scientific expedition team..."

seven people?

This special number quickly caught Xi's attention.

Although Xi is not a creator of words, her artistic talent still makes her think of several possibilities.

So the corners of Xi's mouth turned up slightly and she said, "Oh? Is it based on our current situation? As the beginning of a vulgar story, I have to say that there is still something new."

PS. I originally wanted to write some ghost stories, but I found that if I did, the plot would seem to be a bit long. The result is that although the title is ghost stories, the content of these three chapters seems to have nothing to do with ghost stories. Sad...

Chapter 74 Emergencies

Seeing the two people facing each other in front of them, the people around them were a little ashamed.

If Nian can successfully tell this story, then it will indeed be a good story. This story is adapted based on their current real situation. If the narrative technique is appropriate, it will not be as bad as Xi said.

But what's helpless is that there is always someone beside him who keeps criticizing, so no matter how exciting the story of Nian's preparation is, the atmosphere here has long been completely ruined.

She doesn't look too depressed after the New Year, but rather seems to be enjoying it. For her, bickering with Xi may be the biggest pastime.

To put it simply, Nian is a story that was adapted from their experiences during this period to a certain extent. A scientific expedition team came together due to various coincidences while exploring an ancient tomb lost in history. , was trapped on a barren mountain due to a sudden heavy rain.

"Just when they were about to take a rest, there was a sudden scream..."

As Nian talked, a miserable scream really came from outside the cave, which sounded like the wail of a dying person.

The barrier arranged by Xuancheng simply filtered the sound of wind and rain. It did not block all the sounds outside. Otherwise, if the situation outside changed, wouldn't they hiding in the cave know nothing?

That scream aroused everyone's alert. There were only a few of them on this mountain. This was a fact that had been established before. Moreover, the road down the mountain had been blocked by flash floods. In this case, it should be impossible for anyone to get here. That's right.

"Is this? Did you do this?" Xi frowned and looked at Nian subconsciously.

This is also a little trick that is often used to scare people. In addition, the story Nian told is alluding to their current situation. If it is done unexpectedly, it can really scare many people.

So Xi immediately thought of Nian who was telling the story.

The story Nian told was really just something she made up at random. Xi was right to say that the story was vulgar. Similar stories have long been popular. If you just buy a horror magazine, you can probably find several similar stories, so If you want to improve the performance, you can only put some effort in other aspects.

However, Nian showed a blank expression.

What's going on?What's going on?Didn't I arrange this kind of plot?

"Ah? I didn't prepare such a thing?" Nian said confused.

This was an idea that came up on the spur of the moment, and she didn't even have the slightest time to prepare. Where did she find the time to arrange such a scary trick?

Although there was an accident, they were not too nervous. They had not gone deep into the Tianyue Mountains yet, so they would not be able to cope with this crisis.

"Um... do you want to go out and take a look?"

After a brief silence, Adele whispered.

"No, someone is already coming towards us." Li Ang replied.

At that moment, Li Ang's perception captured two life auras, but with the scream, one of the life auras disappeared very suddenly.

The remaining one stumbled towards the cave where they were.

You can imagine how dazzling the light from their cave would be in a dark rainy night.

Hearing what Li Ang said, Xuancheng immediately pulled Jingzhe's wheelchair from the entrance of the cave into the cave. No matter what, Jingzhe was not in a suitable state to do anything now. She would be the first to be unlucky in that position.

After about ten meters, the barrier Xuancheng set at the entrance of the cave was shattered with a click. A man covered in mud and in tattered clothes bumped in from the outside and fell to the ground with a thud. on the ground.

That barrier only served as an early warning and did not have much defensive power, so it was shattered when someone hit it, and the rain outside poured in.

The man collapsed on the ground in a helter-skelter manner, his chest heaving rapidly. His hands and feet seemed a little unruly, and he couldn't get up from the ground after trying for a long time.

Because of this, the man couldn't answer their questions at all...Who is this guy?

"Is he a victim?"

"How is it possible? Who wouldn't want to come here?"

This guess was directly rejected. If you are just traveling, you don't need to go deep into this location.

Although they only walked for a day, since they were traveling lightly and were accustomed to moving in the mountains and forests, their speed was actually very fast. This was already a life-threatening location for ordinary people.

And... to be able to survive a flash flood and escape to the mountain top where Li Ang and others are, this man is definitely not an ordinary person.

Hmm... The Lupo tribe is a very common race. Their qualities in all aspects are relatively average, and they may have a slight advantage in explosive power. The muscles in this man's whole body show a posture that has been exercised for a long time, and it is not that Planting flower stands for bodybuilding, and some traces can be seen from the calluses on his hands.

Unfortunately, the man's clothes were all torn and he didn't have many belongings. There was no way to determine his identity from these details.

They also had some difficulties as to how to deal with this person.

After all, their motives for going to the depths of the Tianyue Mountains were not simple. It was impossible for a suspicious guy to sneak in, but if they were left alone, this guy would definitely die.

"...Anyway, let's see what injuries he suffered first, and we don't know what kind of danger he encountered. There should have been two people outside just now, but he was the only one who escaped here."

Li Ang's statement was unanimously recognized by everyone, and they were ready to take a look at this man's condition first.

Of course, Xuancheng is responsible for going up to check. This kind of thing... well, it's not suitable for a child like Sangbao to do it anyway.

However, just when Xuancheng was about to go up to check, an accident happened.

The man lying on the ground suddenly curled up, his whole body convulsed violently, his eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and his face was full of fear.

"save……"

He only had time to say one word before his body quickly shriveled up like a deflated balloon.

"!!!"

……died?

What just happened?Under the gaze of more than a dozen eyes, this man covered in mud died like this?

It was as if all the blood had been drained from his body. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a skin and bones, and even the muscles on his body atrophied.

"Blood Demon? No...be careful, everyone, there seems to be something else here!"

Chapter 75 Demons

Generally speaking, this kind of corpse that has lost all its blood will make people think of the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demons... are a branch of the Sakaz clan. They indeed feed on human blood as in the legend. They are a notorious race that often appears in stories that scare disobedient children.

The 'food' killed by them will indeed appear in this state, but the question is... what about the blood demon?There could have been more than a dozen eyes staring at him just now, but there was no blood demon lying on the man's aorta, sucking deeply.

So...what was it that just killed that man?

Is it a human?Is it some kind of creature?Or is it some kind of natural phenomenon that exists within the Tianyue Mountains?

At that moment, Li Ang's perception seemed to capture something, but it seemed as if he found nothing. It was a very special feeling.

"Is it this kind of insubstantial thing again..." Li Ang whispered.

It's really a troublesome situation... No matter what the enemy's true form is, such a non-entity opponent is a very troublesome existence.

Li Ang constantly adjusted his perception, trying to capture the non-existent enemy. At the same time, he also pulled out the dagger made for him by Nian.

Since Nian was told the style of his previous dagger in advance, although the material of this newly forged weapon is slightly different, its feel is almost the same as that of the previous sword.

The sharp sword blade swept through the air, making a crisp buzz. Under the light of the heater, the dark blue sword body reflected a dangerous light.

It is still forged from some unknown metal, and it is unknown what materials were added to it. However, the conductivity of this dagger to Originium energy far exceeds that of D32 steel, and is even close to the pure Originium.

But as a metal, this dagger is not as fragile as the pure source stone. Although it is not as sharp as clay, it is definitely not a problem to cut other things. I don't know how Nian did it.

In fact, there is no need to delve too deeply into this kind of problem. Modern science cannot even explain many Origin Stone techniques, let alone powers that are more mysterious than those Origin Stone techniques.

For Li Ang now, this weapon only needs to be easy to use.

Just when everyone started to be on guard, Nian didn't know where he took out a very strange-looking shield. Logically speaking, that strange hollow design should not appear on the shield. After all... there was such a big piece of space on the shield. , there is a big question mark as to how effective this thing can be.

However... considering Nian's ability to not understand the truth, this is not really a problem. The symbolic meaning of this shield in Nian's hands may be far greater than its actual effect.

A ray of light suddenly bloomed from the strange shield in Nian's hand, and it swept over everyone in the cave in the blink of an eye.

Everyone felt warm on their bodies, as if... they seemed to feel more at ease, and this was obviously not their illusion.

Is this... some kind of defensive ability?

It's really a rare ability... It's not uncommon to use the Origin Stone skill to strengthen or shield oneself. Li Ang himself knows it, but it's rare to be able to use it on others like Nian. This is Li Ang's first time. Saw once.

Holding up the shield, which was basically useless, Nian winked at Xi.

"Xi, let your little cuties go out to explore the situation."

This time, Xi finally didn't talk back to Nian. She also took out her own weapon, the bright red long sword dripping with ink.

However, when Xi wanted to draw those 'ink monsters', those special creatures she created through her power, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from behind her.

"Ok?"

Looking back subconsciously, Xicai discovered that Zhao Youcai had appeared out of nowhere, looking at the strange corpse on the ground with a horrified look on his face, and kept chanting, 'Snake God bless, Snake God bless...' Something like that.

It looked like he had seen something similar to a corpse before.

Xi also just glanced at him and lost interest. When she turned around, she concentrated on doing her own thing - using her sword as a substitute, she drew two ink marks on the ground. One looked like some kind of dog. The other one looks a little strange, looking a bit like a penguin in appearance.

The next moment, the two ink marks stood up from the ground and turned into a living creature.
