Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

To create such a forest, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent... It can't be built one by one by Sami's snow priests over the past few hundred years, right?Then they have too much energy.

There was nothing to gain here, so Li Ang focused on Xuancheng and Magellan.

They are more daring than Jing Zhe and Adele. When Jing Zhe and the others only dared to probe from a distance, the two of them had already managed to get a branch from an ice crystal tree and observed it closely.

Of course, they were all operated by magic and machinery, and they never touched these branches during the whole process.

"Did you find anything?" Li Ang asked.

At this time, Magellan was using the camera on the drone to zoom in and carefully observe the removed branch. After hearing Li Ang's question, Magellan replied without turning his head, "It's so strange, this looks like an ordinary branch. ice cubes, nothing weird at all."

"Of course, the functions of drones are not so rich, and it may be necessary to go to the laboratory to analyze the problem."

How can I go to the laboratory now...

Li Ang thought helplessly in his heart, and then he asked Xuancheng beside him, "What about you, Xuancheng?"

"My lord, I didn't find traces of spells on these trees."

None of the people present found the problem with these ice crystal trees, which can already explain a lot of problems. Could it be that this is just a cover on the surface, and the real problem is something else?

Tapping the helmet lightly, after contemplating for a while, Li Ang ordered, "All of you get ready, and follow me into this forest."

Even if they don't see any problems, Li Ang and the others can't stop here. As long as they are careful when they go in, there will be no accidents. None of them is weak.

After a little preparation, they stepped into the forest made of ice crystals.

Their speed is slowed down so that they can deal with crises that may occur at any time.

Xuesi was still sneering on Simona's back, and Simona also looked blank, but in the deepest part of their eyes, there was an inexplicable expectation hidden, as if they were expecting Li Ang and the others to crack the level in front of them.

At first they were more cautious, but after walking through the forest for nearly a kilometer in one breath, they gradually relaxed.

There was no monster jumping out of the woods to attack them suddenly, but the surrounding environment tormented them enough.

Although the rainbow light refracted by the ice crystal tree looked beautiful, when they went deep into it, they knew how difficult this thing was.

It didn't take long before they were dizzy by the colorful glare, and they couldn't even recognize the direction in front of them. This was not pure snow blindness. As a senior adventurer, Magellan couldn't make such a low-level mistake. She had prepared sunglasses for everyone a long time ago, but the sunglasses didn't seem to have any effect on the reflected glare.

The only ones present who were not affected were the blind Li Ang, and the two Snow Priests who had been prepared for a long time.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Xue Si's mouth on Simona's back.

So...how would you solve the dilemma at hand?

Cancer of Eternal Life: Chapter 78 Polar Night (2/6)

By the time they noticed the strange light, it was already too late.

"What the hell is this..." Magellan complained loudly while wiping away his tears.

Who would have thought that such light could penetrate the protection of sunglasses?

Except for Magellan, their condition is not much better. Even if they close their eyes tightly, they can still feel that light seems to penetrate the eyelids, constantly stimulating their fragile eyeballs.

"This is what you rely on? The light that can blind you?" Li Ang tore off the talisman from Xue Si's body again, and asked by his collar.

Now they only lost their eyesight briefly, but what if they stayed here longer?Will their eyes go blind?

Xue Si smiled sinisterly at Li Ang, and said mysteriously, "What do you think?"

Seeing how successful he was, Li Ang couldn't help punching him in the stomach. Only after Xue Si knelt down on the ground clutching his stomach did Li Ang turn his attention back to the others.

Because of the pain in the eyes, now other people, let alone returning to the same way and leaving this forest, it is a question of whether they can stand still.

In the forest, Li Ang's speed was limited to a certain extent, and he didn't want to touch these ice crystal trees, so it would take a long time to send everyone out one by one, and the last person might not be able to stop the erosion of the glare.

This is not going to work, Li Ang is thinking about countermeasures in his mind. ,

There are ice crystal trees of different heights all around. The glare reflected from the trees covers every inch of space here, and there is no place to hide.

If there is no space, then clean it out by hand.

In just a few seconds, Li Ang figured out what he should do now - set fire to the mountain!

"Explosive Flame—Wave Sword!"

With Li Ang's thought, the short sword has automatically unsheathed and fell into his hand, about seven percent of the explosive flame wave sword poured out, the dazzling fire covered most of the glare refracted by those ice crystal trees, and all the rest The expression on the man's face couldn't help but relax.

boom--

The liquid sea of ​​fire fell into the ice crystal forest, and then burned violently.

Although the light refracted by those ice crystal trees is weird, they are just made of ordinary 'ice', which can be melted by the flames that Adele throws casually, and the Explosive Flame Wave Sword that Li Ang is using now is of course not a problem.

When the source stone energy supporting the burning of the flames was exhausted, the small forest of ice crystals in front had disappeared, replaced by a piece of frozen ice on the ground.

Then Li Ang repeated the old trick, and the monstrous sea of ​​flames swept everything around them, clearing a large open space around them.

The environment here suddenly became much darker. Although the ice crystal trees in the distance can still reflect some glare, but compared with the pervasive situation just now, it is much better now.

Everyone has not been able to open their eyes yet, but the tears have stopped, and it seems that they can recover after a period of rest.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally destroyed some of your territory, I don't think you will mind such a trivial matter, right?" Li Angxuesi said with a smile while retracting the dagger.

In Li Ang's prediction, he destroyed so many ice crystal trees, Xue Si should show some emotions.

But Xuesi just looked at Li Ang with a look full of deep meaning, and didn't say much because of it.

On the contrary, this made Li Ang a little confused, not knowing what he was up to... But now Li Ang has no time to talk to this guy, after confirming that the seal on his body is still intact, he took out the tent from his luggage, and put it on the spot. A temporary camp was set up.

No matter what they plan to do next, they must wait for everyone to recover before making plans.

After a while, Li Ang led everyone into the camp.

"...It's really embarrassing, I didn't expect to fall into such a trick." Jing Zhe took a few deep breaths, and his mood seemed not particularly calm.

To be able to achieve this kind of strength, Jing Zhe is no longer a rookie who came out of the thatched cottage, but he never expected to stumble in such a small place.

Even if Jingzhe was paralyzed by Magellan and Xuancheng's investigation results, she couldn't deny the fact that she was too relaxed.

Xuancheng was even more ashamed and lowered his head deeply, "Master Tingwei, this is all my responsibility, I failed to notice the abnormality of these trees in time."

"It's not your responsibility," Jing Zhe shook his head, "Even I didn't notice the problems with these trees, it's normal for you not to notice."

"It seems... this road is really not easy to walk."

Not long after they set off, the road to the mountain festival gave them such a big surprise. One can imagine how difficult the road ahead will be.

These glares seem harmless, but if you think about it carefully, they are actually a terrifying defensive measure. Even sunglasses can't resist the effect of this light. The only thing that can fight against it is probably some unorthodox Originium skills.

The most insidious thing is that, just like snow blindness, people will not notice any abnormalities at first, and even look a few more times because of the beautiful rainbow light. When there is a problem with their eyes, they may have already gone deep The ice crystal forest is very far away.

Losing his eyesight, who can walk out of this ice crystal forest that stretches for several kilometers?

"Okay, there's no need to divide the responsibilities so clearly now." Li Ang interrupted the conversation between the two, "Is there any problem with your eyes now?"

"...It's nothing serious, except that things in the distance are a bit blurry, but my eyes are very dry." Xuancheng struggled for a while, and replied slowly.

The situation of the others was similar, but Li Ang acted decisively and did not affect them too seriously.

"Then take a rest here, and then evacuate this forest first and then think of a way."

Li Ang finally made such a decision.

"It's going to be dark soon, right? Can't we wait until after dark to move on? If there is no sun, these trees shouldn't pose any threat, right?" Rubbing his eyes, Magellan proposed a very normal proposition without much thought. view.

"No!" X2

Li Ang and Jing Zhe retorted in unison.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then Jing Zhe made a gesture of invitation, and Li Ang explained to Magellan, "This is the first checkpoint on the road to the mountain festival, don't forget that this is Sami, the night here may It will go on for days and I don't think it will be that easy to get through."

Jing Zhe also took over the conversation, and said, "I think this forest may become more dangerous at night. If you want to advance, it's better to put it in the daytime. Although these lights are troublesome, it's not impossible to deal with them."

"But one day is not enough for us to pass through this ice crystal forest. At least one night must be spent in this forest, or if we are lucky, we may encounter polar day phenomena."

This is what Li Ang is worried about. They haven't grasped the law of day and night alternation here. If they can't find out the time of polar day, they will definitely experience a night... a night full of unknowns.

Just as they were arguing whether to move forward or retreat first to regroup, a voice faintly came out from behind them.

"You guys don't need to discuss any more, because... Polar Night is coming soon."

"No, I'm afraid it's more dangerous at night."

"But the problem is, we don't have enough time in one day to walk through this ice forest."

Cancer of Immortality: Chapter 79 The Living Tree (3/6)

The person who spoke was that Xue Si.

When Li Ang was busy building the tent, he actually forgot to gag his mouth again, so he just pretended to be deaf and dumb, until now, at this critical moment, he directly poured cold water on everyone.

Polar night is coming, and that's not good news.

Before Li Ang could ask a question, Adele opened her sour eyes and looked outside the tent, "It's too late, the sun will set soon."

The sun was hanging low in the northern sky, and most of the huge fireball had sunk into the mountains, leaving only a small part of it emitting light, refracted by the ice crystal forest into an ominous colorful light.

Even if Li Ang used the wave sword to open the way no matter the cost, they couldn't get out of the forest before the sun went down.

"Let's go, wait until the sun goes down, and then see what changes will happen in this forest."

This time, no one has any objections. Rather than brave the polar night to cross the ice crystal forest, it is better to take a step back temporarily and see what changes will happen to the forest at night.

There is still some time before the sun sets, and they are going to rest here temporarily, and leave when everyone's eyes are almost recovered.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Ang approached Xue Si.

Although what Xue Si said just now poured cold water on Li Ang and the others, there is no doubt that he provided a crucial clue.

According to Li Ang and Jing Zhe's guess, the forest will definitely change after nightfall. Just imagine if they enter the forest only to find that the day has not arrived for a long time, and it will be too late to adjust the plan by then.

Now knowing that polar night is coming, they can plan ahead for it.

"What else do you want to say?"

Hearing this, Xue Si did not open his mouth to mock Li Ang, but said with flickering eyes, "I will not provide you with any help in this trial."

"Huh? This trial?"

Li Ang sensed the hidden meaning in Xue Si's words. If they passed through this ice crystal forest, Xue Si would cooperate with them?

After asking such a question, Xue Si just smiled irrefutably, and didn't mean to answer Li Ang.

"Then let me change the question. How long will this polar night last?"

This time, Xue Si didn't show off, but said with a serious face, "It's very long, much longer than you think. Maybe... maybe this night will last forever."

"What do you mean?" Li Ang's heart trembled, and he asked quickly after hearing that there was something in Xue Si's words.

But Xuesi had already closed his eyes, as if he didn't intend to answer Li Ang's question.

"Tsk..." Li Ang smacked his lips in displeasure.

If this old thing doesn't cooperate, he really has nothing to do.

It just made Li Ang a little puzzled, didn't he look like he would rather die than obey?What happened in the middle that made him suddenly change his attitude?

After they came to a place not far from the Ice Crystal Forest, they lifted the seals on some of the snow priests.

During this period of time, the only thing worthy of attention was that Li Ang burned down a large area of ​​ice crystal trees with the Explosive Flame Wave Sword.

In other words... Has Li Ang changed his mind because of the strength he showed just now?

As for why they value Li Ang's strength, I'm afraid they can only ask Xue Si in person after they have broken through the Ice Crystal Forest.

After everyone's eyesight had almost recovered and they withdrew from the ice crystal forest, the last glimmer of the sun just happened to disappear at the end of the horizon.

"The sun is setting..."

The boundless night covered the land, and the whole world was swallowed by darkness. The fear of darkness is engraved in everyone's instincts. When they think that they will not see the same for a long time, they feel a kind of unreasonable feeling in their hearts. flustered.

Fortunately, they are relatively small in number, and all of them are quite strong. If they were replaced by a team with different levels of strength, it would take a lot of time to stabilize people's hearts.

Although the sun had already set, the surrounding environment did not darken because of this, and they could still see each other's face clearly.

"Look at those trees!"

Soon, they discovered where the light source was coming from.

After losing the sunlight, those ice crystal trees did not completely darken, but still emitted a faint halo, providing enough light for the surrounding area.

After seeing this scene, the expressions on everyone's faces were a bit unsightly, which meant that even at night, they had to consider how to resist this halo that would take away their eyesight.
