Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Jing Zhe finally noticed Magellan who was making soy sauce at the side, frowned and asked, "This is..."

"This is the guide I hired, and I will act as a Sami translator by the way, so don't worry about her." Li Ang brushed aside the incident lightly, "But what she said just now is what I want to ask, why don't people go to the mountains to see What about the situation? If you don’t go too deep, you should not be in danger of life.”

"You're right."

"But the problem is that the Sami's 'mountain festival' is about to begin, and they have sealed off all the entrances, and my people can't find any other way in."

"Isn't it okay to go around from another place?"

Magellan blurted out.

Cancer of Immortality: Chapter 59 Can't Be With You

The moment Magellan finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on her.

"o_O Did I say something wrong?" Magellan shrank his neck and argued weakly, "It's impossible for them to seal up the whole mountain, as long as they want to go in, there is always a way to get in."

If Magellan is allowed to go up, she may find any hill at random and climb into it.

"You are right." Jing Zhe nodded, "They blocked the only way up the mountain safely, but none of my subordinates have experience in crossing snow-capped mountains, so there may be problems if they act rashly."

"I have asked my men to find other ways to enter the mountain, and there should be results in a few days."

Indeed, if there is no relevant experience, even if you just climb over a small mountain, problems are very likely to occur in such a harsh environment.

Moreover, the work of Dali Temple has been obstructed by the Sami officials. I am afraid that even a qualified guide cannot be found, so Jing Zhe is eager to cooperate with Li Ang to find a breakthrough point from them.

She did find the right person, and Li Ang held a road map to the depths of the dark mountains.

But before telling Jing Zhe about this, Li Ang still has one question that he wants to ask clearly.

"What does the mountain sacrifice you mentioned just now refer to?"

According to Jing Zhe, Sami used this as an excuse to prevent them from entering the Dark Mountains.

"Mountain sacrifice is a very ancient custom. It is said that it has been spread in this area before the Sami country was established. After the Sami queen unified the whole territory, this tradition has been preserved."

"The mountain festival is held in Hammerfest?"

"good."

"Then let me guess, the last mountain festival was held a year ago?" Li Ang licked his lips, feeling a little excited.

Jing Zhe looked at Li Ang with some surprise, but when she thought about the relationship between Li Ang and others and Professor Nauman, there was nothing strange about it.

"You guessed it right, Professor Nauman was indeed with the mountain festival, and according to the information we have investigated, Professor Nauman did not know how to persuade the snow priest a year ago to let him participate in the mountain festival as an outsider. among."

bingo!

Jing Zhe's answer convinced Li Ang of his speculation, he knew this place was not that simple, otherwise Professor Nauman would not have traveled all the way to this city.

So, what is hidden in the mountains?

An immortal who claims to be a god, or an invader from a foreign land?Is the death of the Nauman couple... related to the existence hidden in the mountains?

"The mountain festival is only held every ten years. There must be something wrong with last year's mountain festival, so they will hold it again this year."

"I wanted to find some clues from those research materials, but unfortunately I haven't found anything so far."

"We must enter that mountain range before the mountain festival begins, otherwise, when the snow festival arrives, we may find it difficult to find another chance to enter."

Although Jing Zhe is not afraid of Sami's snow priests, it is very irrational to have a conflict with them on Sami's territory. Jing Zhe's strength has not reached the level of her master, and she can ignore the threat of a country.

Li Ang pondered for a moment, then asked, "How much time is left?"

"The Snow Priest has already left, and we still have half a month at most."

"Our purpose is the same, so can you give me an accurate answer, besides the information left by Dr. Nauman, do you have any other clues?" Jing Zhe stared at Li Ang and asked very seriously.

"Which way into the mountain are they blocking?"

"It's this one." Jing Zhe picked up a map from the table and drew a short distance on it, "This is the first section of the route for the mountain festival. As for the later route, I'm afraid only Xueji himself and others Only those selected to participate in the ceremony will know."

Comparing it with the route map deciphered from Sarkaz's sacrificial text, Li Ang found that it was indeed the same route. Although the intersection was blocked by people, it was a bit troublesome, but as Magellan said, if you just need to go in, there is always a possibility. way in.

So Li Ang exhaled lightly, and said, "You guessed right, we do have a complete road map in our hands, which should have been secretly drawn up by my uncle back then."

"Great!"

Hearing this news, Jing Zhe felt relieved, "It's not too late, we're leaving today!"

She didn't even want to wait for a second. If they set off immediately, they should be able to come back before Xue Si arrived here.

"Wait? Are you going to go directly like this?" Li Ang frowned, "Don't prepare any more? That mountain range is not a safe place."

"No, I'm enough by myself."

Jing Zhe was obviously full of confidence in her own strength, so she answered without thinking.

Now that she has an exact map and doesn't have to worry about Sami's official obstruction, Jing Zhe feels that there is nothing that can stop her.

"In order to avoid the eyeliner of the Sami people, there should not be too many people going this time. Which one of you will go with me?"

Although it was a questioning tone, Jing Zhe's gaze had already fallen on Li Ang, and the meaning she wanted to express was already obvious, obviously she hoped that Li Ang would go with her this time.

In the previous conflict, Jing Zhe also roughly saw the strength of Li Ang and the others.

The strength of those two girls is not bad, but there is still a big gap compared with Jing Zhe, they can only do not hold back at best.

As for the other person who was with them... Jing Zhe has not seen through his details so far.

Although Xuan Cheng's brain is not very good, but his strength is still very good, otherwise Jing Zhe would not entrust him with important work.

With Xuancheng's character, once he makes a move, he will never show mercy, but even with his full strength, he is still subdued by this man within a few strokes. If Jing Zhe hadn't arrived on the scene in time, Xuancheng I'm afraid there will be more lessons to be learned.

Jing Zhe couldn't help asking herself, could she subdue Xuancheng so neatly?

If it's a sneak attack, she should be able to do it, but if it's a direct confrontation, Xuancheng's talisman technique has already achieved great success, even Jing Zhe can't win so easily.

If it was Master Jingzhe, he would definitely be able to do this kind of thing.

But how is that possible?Her master is one of the strongest people in Yan Kingdom, how could she just go to a small place and meet someone who is as strong as his old man?

In short, this man is very powerful and can definitely help.

"hiss--"

Li Ang took a breath with a headache, Jingzhe's mobility was not a good thing for him.

"Let's put it this way, Miss Jing Zhe, I think you misunderstood something."

"Entering the Dark Mountains to investigate is just one of the means we can take, not our purpose."

"Besides, you are a little too eager now. If you go into the mountain without making any preparations, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

Cancer of Immortality: Chapter 60 The Price

After nightfall, Hammerfest is extremely quiet, and no one can be seen on the streets or alleys.

Because the mountain festival was about to come, the whole city fell into an extremely dignified atmosphere.

The situation when the mountain sacrifice failed a year ago is still vivid. They even lost a noble snow priest. The last time Sami suffered such a loss was decades ago when he fought Ursus up.

As for the consequences of the failure of the mountain sacrifice, it is not something that ordinary people like them can touch.

They only knew that since that day, Sami's queen hadn't appeared in the public eye for a long time, so anyone who had a little understanding of what happened last year kept silent.

On the premise of not resorting to forced confessions, Dali Temple's attempt to obtain information from these populations is nothing short of nonsense.

If someone disclosed certain information to Dali Temple, then most of these people had other purposes.

In an inconspicuous local house, Jonah was lying on the bed, twisting his body extremely restlessly.

His brows were furrowed, sweat dripped from his body, and the entire bed sheet was soaked with sweat. It looked like he had a terrible dream. It seemed a little worrying, would he be sweating Too much can cause dehydration.

But soon, Jonah's reaction told everyone that their worries were unnecessary.

"Do not----!!"

A desperate yell pierced through the roof and into the sky, and Jonah bounced off the bed amid the yells from his neighbors.

He tightly wrapped the sweat-stained quilt around his body, his expression was painful and distorted, and he was completely different from his usual sickly look.

After shivering in bed for a long time, Jonah finally regained his strength. He picked up the alarm clock on the bedside and glanced at the time, his face immediately became even uglier.

"Two hours..."

It's three o'clock in the morning, and it's only been two hours since Jonah was lying in bed, and he woke up frightened by the lingering nightmare.

Jonah knew that he might not be able to sleep again tonight.

Jonah has been woken up more than once from a dream, and Jonah has never fallen asleep again.

It was okay at the beginning, but the quality of sleep was slightly affected, but then the situation became more and more serious, and now he can only sleep less than two hours a day.

But even if Jonah sleeps for such a short time every day, there is no major problem with his body.

The dark circles on his face and the yawning that can hardly stop every day seem to be Jonah's illusion. He still feels very energetic every day without feeling tired at all.

Putting the alarm clock back on the bed, Jonah picked up a small medicine bottle next to it, and poured all the white pills inside into his palm.

After staring at the pills in his hand for a while, Jonah glanced like a deflated ball, his shoulders drooped immediately, and he put the pills back in dejection, and put the medicine bottle back in place.

This is a small vial of poison, and as long as a small tablet is taken, a person's life can be ended in just a few minutes. Jonah was worried that the dose of one tablet would not be enough, so he bought a whole bottle on purpose.

Jonah couldn't bear this kind of torture. He once thought about dying, but he still didn't have the courage to swallow this small bottle of poison.

He is not afraid of death, Jonah is just afraid that when he swallows this bottle of poison, something more terrible than death will happen.

With a wry smile, Jonah stood up from the bed.

The quilt slipped off Jonah, revealing a scrawny body underneath.

Jonah's height is close to 1.8 meters, which is considered to be relatively outstanding among the Elafians, but his body does not seem to fit the 1.8 meters at all.

He was too thin, and he was so naked that he could barely see any hair, which was an extremely abnormal thing for an Elafian.

The changes started a year ago.

At the beginning, Jonah didn't realize that there was something wrong with his body. He just felt that his appetite was getting worse and worse. No matter how much he liked the food before, after a few bites, the feeling of nausea disappeared. surged up.

What changed later was his skin.

From a certain day, Jonah suddenly found that all the fine hair on his body disappeared, and his skin became even smoother and more delicate than the teenage girl next door.

This is not a good thing for him.

A few months later, when Jonah peeled off a complete 'human skin' from his body, he was frightened half to death by himself.

Among all the races in the Terra continent, which one needs to 'molt'?Even the scales of the Safra family will not fall off completely like him.

His body seemed to be transforming into something inhuman. Whether the poison that could kill humans would work on him was a big question mark.

Because of this, Jonah has not made up his mind to die.

Upon realizing this, Jonah began to frantically search for the cause of his physical changes, and finally locked on something that happened a year ago.

A year ago, a pair of scholars from foreign countries participated in the mountain festival. The couple lived in the dormitory provided by the school for teachers.

At that time, Jonah's health was not in trouble, and he happened to live on the same floor as the couple. Coupled with his status as a geography teacher, the two sides somewhat overlapped.

Later, the couple died suddenly for some reason, and Jonah received an order from the mayor to sort out the couple's belongings.

In the process of sorting out those items, Jonah's hands and feet were not particularly clean. He secretly took some valuable-looking things from them and sold them to second-hand traffickers for some wine money.

But is it so easy to get other people's things?If there is any reason why Jonah's body changed, he can only think of this reason.

Thinking of this incident, Jonah regretted it. In order to prevent others from discovering his abnormality, he even moved out of the school dormitory. Can't stop.

According to this rate of change, in a few months, whether his appearance can still be called a 'human' is another matter.

"Damn it damn it!!"

Jonah rubbed his head vigorously, and a large lock of hair was easily wiped off his scalp like dry firewood.

He has paid the price for his greed.

After venting, Jonah walked to the window and looked in a certain direction with faint eyes.

He has one last chance left.
