Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

If she didn't go in, Magellan always felt a little reconciled, but she managed to sneak out, opening this passage also used her two origin stone ice crystals.

Sunk costs made it impossible for Magellan to give up easily.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Magellan finally gritted his teeth and released all the drones, and stepped into the passage with the momentum of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

If she controls four drones at the same time, Magellan will not be able to maintain the control distance as far as before. She must enter the lower floor with the drones.

Enduring the stench from the surrounding corpses, with the addition of the remaining three drones, the efficiency of Magellan's search has doubled several times.

Finally, after about ten minutes, Magellan found a room slightly different from other places.

It wasn't as chaotic or bloody as elsewhere, except for a dusty old-fashioned glass mortuary cabinet in the center of the room.

This special situation immediately attracted Magellan's full attention, and she immediately controlled the drone to fly over the morgue.

The camera installed on the tail of the drone aimed at the morgue below, showing Magellan the full view of the corpse inside.

The next moment, Magellan's gaze was fixed, and he shouted in some surprise.

"Snow Priest?!"

Wasn't Magellan still looking for something of value just now?

Now, something of value emerges.

PS. It was snowing to cool down and I accidentally caught a cold. I had a headache and fatigue for two days, and I just got better today.

Chapter 37 Curiosity Killed the Cat

"The Ursus actually captured a snow priest??" Magellan's voice revealed a bit of disbelief.

Although Magellan didn't know the young man lying in the morgue, he could tell his identity from the special clothes he wore.

The only Elafians who can dress so strangely are the Sami snow priests.

"Wow... If the Sami people find out, they will probably go crazy..."

Magellan muttered under his breath, then looked closer to the morgue.

Unsurprisingly, the Xue Priest inside also received the same treatment as other Elafia people. The exposed skin was covered with various suture marks. It is conceivable that after she came here, what kind of treatment she suffered? What an inhuman treatment.

It’s just that for some reason, the Ursas didn’t take away all kinds of ornaments from the Xue Priest, but this should be a good thing for Magellan. The Xue Priest’s status in Sami is very high. The accessories he carries are naturally not ordinary items,

These are some accessories hand-polished with special origin stones. They not only have a certain artistic value, but also can be used as a medium for using origin stone skills. If they are placed with knowledgeable people, they will definitely sell for a good price. The Longteng drone that I owned can be replenished.

Thinking of this, Magellan swallowed, and gently opened the lid of the morgue.

……

"What is a snow ritual?"

Standing at the entrance of the passage, Li Ang asked suddenly.

"what?"

"I just wanted to ask, what is a snow priest." Li Ang repeated the question just now, "Magellan found a body of a snow priest below, but I don't seem to have heard the word snow priest."

Adele thought about it, she had indeed never heard of a snow sacrifice.

"Forget it, then don't worry about this issue," Li Ang shook his head, and didn't continue to struggle with such trivial matters. "Just ask Magellan directly later."

"But Adele, do you really want to go down with me?" Li Ang faced Adele and said seriously, "It's not a good place down here, you can wait here first, there's no need to come with me go down."

At the beginning, Li Ang didn't know the specific situation in this secret room. Anyway, what he saw was composed of simple black and white lines.

But when he saw that Magellan knelt on the ground and began to retch because he glanced at the situation in the secret room, Li Ang knew that the situation below was not easy.

Even though Magellan likes to die, it is undeniable that she is indeed an excellent explorer.

Living alone in the extreme arctic ice sheet is not something everyone can do.

But even such an excellent explorer was still frightened for a long time before he came back to his senses. It is conceivable how terrifying the scene below is.

It's enough for Li Ang to go down alone and catch that reckless guy, there's no need for Adele to suffer this kind of torture.

He thought so, but Adele... didn't agree with Li Ang's view.

Adele sighed slightly and said, "Li Ang... I know you care about me, but I can't always run away."

"Escape?" Li Ang was stunned for a moment, "How can this be considered an escape? I'm just worried about you."

"This is escape." Adele said calmly, "Father, mother, and the others may have been to more dangerous places than this. If I can't even bear this kind of scene, then I don't have to look for them."

Is the secret room below dangerous?It may be somewhat dangerous, such as the anti-theft measures left by the Ursus army, but no matter how dangerous it is, it cannot compare to the dark mountains they are going to. At best, it is bloody and terrifying.

If she can't even pass this test, can she calm down and continue fighting when she is really in danger?In the battle against the alien species not long ago, Adele was also under the protection of Li Ang, and it took a long time to get a chance to make a move.

What she lacks is not strength, but experience in dealing with various emergencies. At least when encountering danger, Adele no longer wants to hold back.

This time, it was a trial for Adele.

Li Ang was speechless.

"As you wish."

After shaking his hands, Li Ang silently walked into the passage.

"Magellan has already started to die, and it will be too late if we don't hurry up."

On the body of that 'Xue Si', Li Ang sensed an unusual aura.

It was neither like the effect of origin stone skills, nor like the fluctuations produced by the soul, but something that Li Ang had never seen before, so he couldn't be sure what it was.

This breath was quietly lurking in the body of that 'Snow Priest'.

Apart from the possible murderer, the only thing that made Li Ang uncertain in this fortress was the mysterious aura.

When they entered the lower secret room and saw the surrounding environment clearly under the light of the fire, Adele's face turned extremely pale in an instant.

"..."

Even though Li Ang sensed that Adele's body was trembling, he didn't turn around to comfort Adele.

This was Adele's decision, now Leon's going would be a disservice, and she had to overcome it by herself, so Li Ang made up his mind and walked towards the place where Magellan was without looking back.

When Li Ang rushed to Magellan, she was drooling and pressing the drone's controller with bright eyes.

Magellan couldn't have been more careful. After she pushed open the lid of the mortuary cabinet, she never directly touched the corpse of that Xue Si.

She replaced the drone with a mechanical arm, controlled the mechanical arm to peel off Xue Si's clothes, and pulled a snowflake-shaped pendant from Xue Si's body.

There is no doubt that this pendant is the most valuable thing on Xue Si's body.

Magellan rubbed her hands, and just as she was reaching out to remove the pendant from the drone, a hand stretched out from behind her, wrapping her arm tightly.

"Miss Magellan, can you explain why you are here so late?"

Hearing Li Ang's voice, Magellan's body froze immediately, his heart beating violently.

Ruined.

This was the only thought left in Magellan's mind. Now that Li Ang caught him, she really couldn't explain it.

But Magellan didn't give up so easily, she smiled embarrassingly, and then said, "Well... listen to me, I'm here for a reason..."

"Oh? There's a reason?" Li Ang said with great interest, "Miss Magellan, I wonder if you've heard a word before,"

"Curiosity will kill Ferlin."

Chapter 38 The Incarnation of Blizzard

"It's not curiosity!"

Magellan immediately retorted, "I just... I just... By the way, I just smelled that rancid smell again, so I followed the smell and finally found this place."

Seeing that Magellan was still sophistrying, Li Ang was also a little annoyed, and he simply said, "Don't pretend, I found out when you sneaked out. I followed you all the time and watched you find this place."

"Didn't I tell you? I use perception to observe the world, and your little tricks can't hide it from me."

Magellan's expression froze for a moment, and then he smiled awkwardly.

Now, she has nothing to say.

Li Ang casually removed the pendant on the drone.

This pendant is indeed a rare boutique. It is only a fingertip-sized source stone, but when used as a source stone skill spell-casting unit, its effect is comparable to some large staffs.

This is the difference between traditional crafts and modern industrial products. Although the quality of things produced by traditional crafts is uneven, they can always produce some amazing works.

After holding the pendant and examining it carefully for a while, Li Ang casually threw the pendant to Magellan.

This is Magellan's harvest, and Li Ang has not yet fallen to the point of being greedy for the pendant.

Catching the pendant in a panic, Magellan gave Li Ang a grateful look. She thought the pendant would definitely be confiscated, but she didn't expect Li Ang to return it to her so generously.

At this time, Li Ang asked, "I just heard you say that this is the corpse of a snow priest? I wonder if you can explain, what is a 'xue priest'? I seem to have never heard of this name. "

Magellan stroked the pendant in his hand, and carefully hid it in the interlayer of the protective suit, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

She said slowly, "Xue Si...is a very special kind of people among Sami, their status is second only to Sami's queen, and they will never leave Sami's territory in their lives, so I have never heard of Xue Si is actually quite normal."

"Although I don't know what you are going to do when you go to Sami, but please be careful of these 'snow sacrifices' then."

"Are they very good?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"..."

Magellan fell silent suddenly, as if remembering something extremely terrifying, his gaze changed slightly.

"Let's put it this way," Magellan took a deep breath, "Sami's area is less than one-fiftieth the size of the Ursas Empire, and it's still a bitterly cold place on the edge of the continent. How can such a country resist Ursas? The invasion of the Sri Lankan Empire? Even if it is just a group army, it should be able to easily raze a small country like Sami to the ground."

"But the Fourth Army failed. They lost badly to the Sami. Do you know why?"

"...Is it because of the Anxie Snow Sacrifice?" Li Ang said very cooperatively.

Magellan nodded solemnly, "Decades have passed, and the Ursus soldiers who participated in that war would still wake up in the night when the blizzard blew, and they were afraid that they would die silently in the blizzard. "

"At the beginning, the Fourth Army almost hit Sami's capital, so the Snow Priests appeared. There were only three of them, but they blocked the attack of nearly 10 Ursus troops, and countless people died in the blizzard that covered the sky and the sun. In the middle... in the end, less than half of the Fourth Army survived."

"They are called the curse of Beiyuan, the incarnation of the blizzard, and the nightmare of the Fourth Army's life."

Three people withstood the attack of nearly 10 people?

This sounds like a fantasy, but in this world where Originium skills exist, it is not completely impossible.

Although these snow priests took advantage of the timing and location of the extreme northern ice sheet, this is quite a terrifying record. Ordinary people... no, there are absolutely not many people in the world who can do this kind of thing. These snow priests have undoubtedly stood the top of the world.

"So that's it. I already have a general understanding of Xue Si's strength, but... I'm a little curious, how do you know this information?"

It is not surprising to know the existence of Xue Si, and it is not surprising to know the fiasco of the Fourth Army, but Magellan actually knew the specific number of Xue Si at that time, which is a bit abnormal.

"These are all the information collected by Rhine Life," Magellan said in a low voice, turning his gaze away. "I have seen related records in Rhine Life's database, where there is information about the influence of Xue Si when he made a move."

After finishing speaking, Magellan added, "Don't tell anyone about this kind of thing. This is a serious violation of the rules. I don't have permission to check these materials, but I know the database maintainer and borrowed her Authorized authority to see these materials."

"If you hadn't saved me before, I wouldn't have told you this."

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of talkative person." Li Ang assured.

"Is Rhine Life..."

The construction of a research station on the extreme arctic ice sheet can barely be explained, but collecting information on Sami Xueshi is obviously not what a normal company should do.

Thanks to Magellan, Li Ang is now full of curiosity about Rhein-Life.

However, now is not the time to pay attention to Rhine Life.

After pondering for a while, Li Ang turned his attention back to the mortuary cabinet. He pointed to the corpse inside and said, "In other words, this is one of the three snow priests?"

"Although they made the Fourth Army pay the price, the Ursas also successfully killed a snow priest and brought his body here for research?"

Hearing this, Magellan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"I do not know."

"I have never heard of similar rumors, and there is no relevant record in Rhine Life's database."

"I have been in Beiyuan for several years, and I have also met some veterans of the Ursus Army. They are very taboo about what happened that year, and they are still reluctant to say what happened, but I think the Fourth Army should have nothing to say. The ability to kill a snow priest is right."

"Otherwise, the original battle report would not have been 'The Fourth Army's total defeat', but rather the Fourth Army's tragic victory or narrow defeat."

Li Ang thought about it, and felt that what Magellan said made some sense.

Under the cloak that looked like a bed sheet, Li Ang couldn't feel the power that Magellan said at all. This powerful snow priest had been dead for many years, and what was lying here was just a corpse.
