So the question is, who killed him?Why did his body appear in this military fortress full of secrets?

Xuesi's body lay quietly in the morgue, the mysterious aura still lingered in his body without any change.

Chapter 39 Mutations

After Magellan's explanation, Li Ang has somewhat understood the group of 'Xue Si'.

But what Li Ang was thinking about was, would these snow priests...will have something to do with their next journey?

What they are going to is the most remote mobile city in Sami. A person of high status like Xuesi should not stay in that kind of corner, right?

Li Ang thought about it this way, but he couldn't say for sure what the specific situation was. What if Xue Si liked to go to such a remote place?

Throwing such thoughts out of his mind, Li Ang said to Magellan, "Is there anything else you want to do? If not, go back with me. This place doesn't feel very good."

"Wait a minute!" Magellan said eagerly, "I want to see this snow priest again!"

She just used the drone to poke at the opponent's body twice, and found the most valuable jewelry on the opponent's body, and there are many other places that she hasn't had time to study.

Most people with such a high status as Xuesi don't even meet each other once in their life, let alone study all kinds of bits and pieces of each other like they are now.

Although he has been tossed by the Ursus, Magellan is not willing to miss this rare opportunity.

"Put away your bold ideas."

Without hesitation, Li Ang slashed Magellan's head with a knife, "There is something wrong with this corpse, if you don't want to die, don't use your brain."

Li Ang didn't use much strength for this hand knife, but he was still wearing armor. He heard a bang, and Magellan crouched on the ground covering his head.

"Can there be any problem..." Magellan protested softly.

She had already used the drone to take off the most precious thing from Xue Si's body, and there was no change in the other party's body. From Magellan's point of view, Li Ang's behavior just now was completely retaliation.

"Just because you haven't discovered it doesn't mean there's no danger." Li Ang said lightly, "If you insist on trying, I won't stop you."

Hearing this, Magellan slowly stood up from the ground, glanced at Xue Si's body with some hesitation, and finally took two steps back from the heart, away from the morgue.

What if, what if Li Ang wasn't trying to scare her?

Anyway, the most valuable thing has already been obtained, and there is no need to take risks for the last little profit.

Accepting what you see is an important quality that explorers must have.

"Very well, it seems that you are still a little sensible."

Seeing that Magellan made the right choice, Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.

Although I don't know what the real body of that breath is, but...how could the snow priest who was captured by the Ursus army leave anything good for them?

Li Ang didn't want to come over later to collect Magellan's body.

At this time, Adele had almost overcome the fear in her heart, supported her body with a staff, and walked over from a distance step by step.

Li Ang quickly went up to him, supported Adele's body, and whispered in her ear, "How is it? Can you bear it? Do you want me to carry you back later?"

Smiling, Adele shook her head lightly, "It's okay, I can still hold on."

Compared with when she first entered here, Adele's complexion has become much better. Apart from being a little dizzy from the smell around her, the nearby scene doesn't seem so scary anymore.

In this world, those who dare to walk out of the mobile city will not be too small in courage.

It's just that the enemies Adele encountered before were basically infected creatures, things like origin stone worms, split beasts, pincer beasts, etc., rarely faced humans, thanks to the guides she hired every time They are all very reliable.

After staying in this environment for a while, Adele gradually got used to the terrifying scenery around her. After all, no matter how terrifying it is, these are just corpses that cannot die anymore, and they will not suddenly jump up from the ground to attack them .

Magellan also noticed Adele's strange behavior, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Miss Adele? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's a little scary here, and Adele is not used to it."

"Ah... indeed."

Magellan nodded approvingly, "The Ursas are a bit too much, they actually captured so many Sami people for experiments, if this matter is exposed, it will definitely discredit Ursas in the world. "

"Ursus dared to go to war against the four surrounding countries one after another. Do they still care about this reputation?" Li Ang said disapprovingly.

In recent decades, the countries around Ursas, except for the Yan Kingdom, which is comparable to Ursas, have basically been invaded by Ursas. Although Ursas loses more and wins less, but It also made these countries see the madness of Ursus.

Ursus has long been notorious, so he still cares about carrying the name of another human experiment?

"……makes sense."

Magellan thought about it, and shrugged helplessly.

"War..."

Li Ang shook his head, and then, amidst Adele's exclamation, he lazily picked her up from the ground.

"Put me down..." Adele protested softly.

It's fine if they are acquaintances, with a light bulb like Magellan watching, Adele is not yet bold enough to do such a thing in front of others.

Naturally, Li Ang would not agree to Adele's request. He walked towards the exit with Adele in his arms, and said, "Don't be brave, I just saw that you were a little unsteady, let me hug you." with you."

"..."

Adele wanted to refute a little. In order to overcome the fear in her heart, she did expend some energy, but it was not to the point where she could not stand still.

But she thought about it, and Li Ang had already taken action to hug her up. Is it really meaningful to argue about this kind of thing now?

After realizing the reality, Adele buried her head in Li Ang's shoulder, pretending not to see the presence of Magellan beside her.

Magellan also consciously slowed down, leaving a space for the two of them.

However, just as they walked out of the room where Xue Si's body was stored, before they left too far, a sudden change occurred.

The breath in Xuesi's corpse turned into a sharp arrow as if it was stimulated, aimed at their backs and shot out.

"careful!"

Li Ang was the first to react, and loudly reminded the others, "Something came out of that corpse!"

And Magellan, who was walking at the end of the three of them, didn't notice the danger at all, and still rubbed the pendant in his pocket with a silly smile on his face.

After hearing Li Ang's warning, Magellan turned his head and glanced back, and said doubtfully, "Li Ang, what are you talking about? I didn't see anything?"

Obviously, Magellan couldn't see the mysterious aura in Xue Si's body at all.

Chapter 40 Traps

"Damn it!" Li Ang gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Magellan was still looking back foolishly, not realizing at all that the aura had rushed to a place very close to her.

Li Ang didn't want any of the three of them to experience what would happen if they came into contact with that aura.

In desperation, Li Ang's body reacted one step ahead of his brain.

He changed the posture of the princess hugging just now, put Adele on his shoulder with one hand, and grabbed Magellan's collar with the other hand.

With a heavy step towards the ground, Li Ang pulled the two of them up into the air. When the three of them rose to the highest point, Li Ang kicked the wall next to them, and with the help of the force of the shock, they completed a 360-degree flight in the air. Turning around, leaping backwards.

That breath almost flew past Magellan's scalp.

Although it was very dangerous, Li Ang did guarantee that Magellan did not come into contact with that kind of breath.

Before coming to Casimir, Li Ang couldn't do such fancy moves, but in the arena and other knights' battles, Li Ang's combat experience was rapidly increasing.

Even if all other advantages are excluded, Li Ang's current combat skills are by no means inferior to those high-ranking knights with two-character titles.

"Adele, can you see?"

"…Sorry, I didn't see anything."

In other words, except for Li Ang, the other two couldn't even observe the existence of that breath, let alone make an effective counterattack.

Everyone's safety was on Li Ang's body at once.

In this critical moment, Li Ang calmed down more and more. With both hands occupied, even if he had all the skills, he couldn't use them.

So Li Ang let go of Magellan's hand without hesitation, took a step forward, and stood in front of her.

"Hey!!"

His ass fell to the ground, Magellan let out a cry of pain, and then asked loudly, "What's going on??

Because she couldn't see the aura, what happened just now seemed inexplicable to Magellan. She didn't know what happened, so she was pulled into the air by Li Ang, and finally fell hard to the ground.

However, now Li Ang has no time to answer Magellan at all.

That aura had a certain degree of tracking ability. It passed over Magellan's head, and suddenly turned back in mid-air, then turned around and rushed towards Li Ang.

So why did they live in peace at first, but when they were about to leave, the aura suddenly became troubled?Could it be that they accidentally triggered something?

Li Ang couldn't figure out this question, but he didn't need to figure it out.

As long as this aura is eliminated, all problems will be solved.

So Li Ang pulled out the dagger, gathered the origin stone particles on the blade, and slashed towards the breath.

However, what Li Ang didn't guess was that the aura seemed to have self-awareness, and it suddenly split into two moments before it touched the sword's edge, bypassing both sides of Li Ang's body.

Although a small part of the aura was still annihilated by the origin stone on the blade, more aura survived and aimed at Magellan who was hiding behind him.

Li Ang's complexion changed slightly, the unmanned breath can have such a flexible performance, which obviously exceeded his expectations.

He turned around abruptly and threw the dagger in his hand.

All the origin stone particles on the sword were activated in an instant, and the dark secret room was suddenly blazed with light. The breath that circled to Li Ang's right side was wiped out under the light of the active origin stone before flying far.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the dagger sank deeply into the ground not far in front of Magellan, making Magellan tremble all over in fright.

"Throw away that pendant!" Li Ang shouted.

The crisis has not been completely resolved. What Li Ang just wiped out was only a part of it. There are still some fish that slipped through the net and escaped from the other side where the light cannot shine.

From the very beginning, the target of that breath was very clear - the pendant that Magellan took from Xue Si's body.

Now Li Ang understood that this was a trap that was not very cleverly designed. If the pendant was left on Xue Si's body, nothing would happen.

But if someone becomes greedy for Xue Si's relics, when they leave with the pendant, that invisible killing intent will be triggered.

All this happened in less than two seconds.

Magellan's reaction was also very quick. After hearing Li Ang's warning, he immediately took the pendant out of the pocket of the protective suit, and was about to throw it aside far away.

Unfortunately, it's still a bit late.

Because of the high value of that pendant, Magellan took great care to keep it in the deepest part of his pocket.

Because of this, Magellan wasted an extra second when he took out the pendant.

This second is the gap between life and death.

Before Magellan had time to throw the pendant out, the lingering breath penetrated into Magellan's body along the pendant.

"Ding--"

The pendant fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

As if pressing the pause button, everyone's movements stopped after the crisp sound.

After a while, Magellan asked tremblingly, "What's the matter? Is it over?"

Li Ang exhaled lightly, and Adele, who was thrown dizzily, let go.

Walking up to Magellan and pulling out the dagger from the ground, Li Ang shook his head at her and said, "It's too late."

"I only had time to destroy a part of it, and the rest has already penetrated into your body." Li Ang pointed to Magellan's heart, and said, "Now those breaths have entered your heart, don't you feel it? "

Hearing this, Magellan touched his chest with some fear, and then said, "But I don't feel anything..."

Magellan didn't feel anything special except that his butt still hurt a little.

However, before she finished speaking, she felt that the temperature around her seemed to drop a few degrees. Magellan couldn't help shivering, and tightened his protective clothing.

Magellan immediately thought of the breath that got into her body, and asked with some unease, "I said... do you feel that it seems to be getting colder here?"

"..."

Before Li Ang and Adele answered her question, Magellan's complexion became worse and worse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The protective clothing seemed to be useless at this moment, her brows were even covered with a thin layer of frost, and her face was blue.

It was as if... the cold air came from inside the protective suit.
