The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Cross the rock wall corridor.

Enter the ruins of the sealed beast tide.

The first thing Yu Ke saw was the bronze pillars arranged in specific trajectories surrounding several bronze statues.

A large amount of black copper ore is placed around the bronze pillars to supply energy, and the radiance of spiritual energy can be vaguely seen spreading over the surrounding rock walls.

"How is the effect of black copper? Can it enhance the seal of the beast tide?"

Looking at Fang Xuanhe, who was holding a compass and measuring something in the center of the ruins, Yu Ke asked.

"It works! Black Copper is naturally capable of suppressing disaster energy. Even if the sealing array has not been completed, these bronze pillars and Black Copper ore alone can strengthen the original seal of the ruins and stabilize the situation for the time being."

Hearing Yu Ke's voice, Fang Xuanhe, whose bun was loose, stood up, paused and added,

"Tonight's meteor shower is the key. By carrying it through, I will have time to copy the sealing array in the mine here. Even if I can't find the bronze tripod, I can still hold on for a while."

"What do you need me to do?"

Yu Ke didn't know anything about the formation of battles and could only provide help in other aspects.

"There has been turmoil in the Dimai Zai in the Gunshan area in the past two days. I suspect that there are external forces interfering."

It is not easy to rearrange the sealing formation. Fang Xuanhe noticed an abnormality when activating the earth veins.

"Earth, Zhongshan God has fallen. The body of the Soul-eating Insect that stole its power?"

Without too much nonsense, Yu Ke quickly guessed the reason for the abnormal movement of the earth's veins.

After all, the forest spirit is hidden in the mark at the moment. It is a similar type of god to Zhongshan God. Under the premise of the latter's death, only the Soul-Eating Insect itself can use the stolen divine power to disrupt the mountains and ground.

"The meteor shower is coming. You also said that the warning illusion created by Zhongshan God ended with the sound of insects and fog. The fog incident not long ago, coupled with the soul-eating insect itself, I don't think it is a coincidence. I am afraid something big will happen tonight. ”

There were only two of them here, and Fang Xuanhe didn't try to cover up, and said straightforwardly,

"I'm worried that it's coming to destroy the seal of the beast tide. I have to guard here later and leave it to you outside!"

There is naturally a reason why Yu Ke was specially asked to come to the ruins today.

The forces dispatched by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Forestry Defense Bureau and even the military are certainly powerful and can cope with many crises.

However, Fang Xuanhe knows better than anyone else that once a higher level of battle is involved, ordinary guns and extraordinary beings will be useless.

On the premise that it is difficult to leave the ruins, there must be other strong people stationed in the camp.

Yu Ke was the most suitable candidate he could think of.

"I understand, leave it to me."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Yu Ke nodded solemnly. He knew how important the relics that sealed the beast tide were.

After receiving Yu Ke's promise, Fang Xuanhe immediately contacted the commander-in-chief of the camp and informed him of the former's temporary replacement in command of the camp.

Of course, Yu Ke does not need to worry about the defense of the camp. His main job is to deal with emergencies.

After Xiang Fang Xuanhe had a general understanding of the camp and its surrounding environment, Yu Ke left the ruins.

Halfway through, he communicated with the forest spirit and asked it to arrange arrangements around the ruins in advance.

After all, the mountain area is not the Jinghu Forest, that is, only after the death of Zhongshan God can the forest spirit affect the mountains and forests in this area.

"We have to find a way to add a few more lines of defense outside the camp. If a battle breaks out later, it can be effective immediately."

Arriving outside the ruins, Yu Ke looked around the busy camp and said,

"By the way, please help me pay attention to the status of the earth veins in this area, especially before and after the meteor shower. If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."

Regardless of whether the abnormal movement of the earth's veins is related to the body of the Soul-eating Insect, its impact on the seal of the ruins is real and must be focused on.

The forest spirit turned into a dark green light group and left the mark, heading towards the forest outside the camp.

As long as it is in a natural environment, its magical power can be exerted. At most, it will take more effort than Jinghu Forest.

According to predictions from the National Meteorological Administration, this meteor shower will reach the earth around 10 p.m.

It is now half past ten in the morning, which means there are still nearly twelve hours of preparation time.

The sky still showed no sign of getting better and was extremely dark.

Yu Ke took the wind chime to patrol around the camp, checking the situation of each defense line, so that he had a good idea, and then walked around the outside to explore the mountain and forest terrain in the surrounding area.

During this process, Yu Ke checked the map and found a place similar to the mountain peak shown in Zhongshan God's illusion, not far from the camp, and planned to investigate again in the afternoon.

When it was lunch time, Yu Ke returned to the camp and was just about to have a meal when he unexpectedly bumped into Ye Yingtong on the way.

"The transport plane has returned. You can't leave now. Remember to stay in the tent tonight. If you have nothing to do, don't go out. I don't have time to look after you. If you encounter danger, run to the ruins over there."

After all, they were partners, so Yu Ke waved to Ye Yingtong and reminded her again how to avoid risks tonight.

"Do you still have the Qingming mask you got before? I recently found some information that may be helpful to you."

Ye Yingtong specifically applied to her instructor to stay in the camp, and her purpose was naturally not just to see the meteor shower.

"This is good news. I have recently strengthened the Qingming Mask, but there is still a crucial step left. If you can find a solution, that would be great."

Taking out the Qingming mask from the imprint space and handing it to Ye Yingtong, Yu Ke said with some anticipation.

The evil spirit of the dragon-headed zombie was attached to the mask and brought Yu Ke a dragon-headed warrior who was very powerful in both offense and defense. Originally, he was satisfied, but Fang Xuanhe's reminder made Yu Ke realize that he could go further.

The Qingming Mask itself is a prop that enhances the soul.

Since the original soul has long since disappeared, Yu Ke can completely replace it with his own soul as long as he finds the right way.

In this way, there is hope not only to activate the purple skill "Soul Release", but also to mobilize the fear energy given by the dream tapir, and then obtain a trump card that is more powerful than the blood dragon.

"How did it become like this?"

While Yu Ke was thinking about the future, Ye Yingtong looked at the completely changed Qingming mask in his hand and whispered to himself.

"I asked Fang Tianshi to help make some modifications, otherwise this thing would be useless in my hands."

Yu Ke briefly explained the current status of Qingming Mask, and then asked Ye Yingtong what information he had found.

"Follow me, it's not convenient to talk here."

Holding the mask in her hand, Ye Yingtong waved her hand to Yu Ke to follow him.

"I'm going to get two meals first. It's still early, so I still need to eat lunch."

Yu Ke quickly ran to the logistics area to get two portions of rice with soybeans and pig's feet, and then followed Ye Yingtong into the tent where she worked.

There were not many archaeologists left in the expedition team, and they all went to the canteen in the camp at this time. The tent was empty, with only piles of books, a computer, and two reminder boards with many pictures on them.

Pa da~

Turn on the lamp on the table, and the bright yellow light illuminates the notes on the table.

Ye Yingtong glanced at Yu Ke who moved a chair and sat next to him, took a deep breath, and pulled out the files on the computer.

Yu Ke, who had just opened the set meal, looked at the computer screen and started to do what he was doing.

On the screen were photos of the two masks of Qing Ming and Chi Gui. Yu Ke didn't think there was anything wrong with them before. Now that he put them together, he was shocked to realize that the two masks were almost similar in size and format. The lines on the single face are different.

If I must say it, the Qingming mask is more rough, while the Red Ghost mask is a bit softer.

"This mask won't be divided into male and female, right?"

"There are no male or female masks, but the souls in them are male and female."

Considering his own special situation, Ye Yingtong also wanted to take this opportunity to test Yu Ke's attitude towards Chi Mei.

After the red-faced demon was eliminated at the farm, the red ghost face suddenly appeared in Ye Yingtong's backpack, and the soul named Chi Mei entered her body.

Although the experience during this period proved that Chi Mei, who looked very similar to Ye Yingtong, was not malicious, Ye Yingtong still felt uneasy and wanted to talk to others and asked how to deal with this situation that came out of nowhere. of ghosts.

Originally, Chi Mei strongly objected to Ye Yingtong revealing her existence to the outside world. However, after learning that Yu Ke had obtained the Qingming Mask and what he had done recently, Chi Mei uncharacteristically agreed to Ye Yingtong telling Yu Ke some of the information.

"Before the red-faced ghost was killed, she kept shouting "Red Devil". I thought she was most likely the real owner of the red ghost mask. Therefore, after returning to Beijing-Hangzhou City, I checked many ancient books and found out The true origin of Qing Ming and Chi Gui masks."

"If I remember correctly, you said before that these two masks were immortal tools made by a certain dynasty in ancient times to pursue immortality."

"Yes, I have checked a lot of information during this period and found that this is only part of it. Their pursuit of immortality is not just for personal gain, but to protect extremely important secrets for generations. Therefore, the ghosts in the two masks The identity is completely different, which is the main reason why I was anxious to check the Qingming Mask just now."

Holding the Qingming mask in hand, Ye Yingtong's lowered eyes flashed with an imperceptible red light, and then said,

"The person inside the Qingming Mask is the most powerful general in the dynasty named 'Yu'. After completing the ceremony, he was supposed to be taken to a mausoleum somewhere and fell asleep with the secret he guarded. However, at the last moment, he Being obsessed with ghosts and breaking his oath eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty and the two masks were taken away by others. "

"What is the difference between an oath and a secret?"

After listening to Ye Yingtong's description, Yu Ke took two bites of rice and asked with interest.

He is still very interested in this kind of secret involving "immortal weapons".

"have no idea."

Ye Yingtong answered quite directly.

"Um, I don't know?"

"How can the secrets that need to be protected by the dynasty be recorded in ancient books? Didn't you just say that you want to be the master of the Qingming Mask? As long as you find the oathbreaker who escaped from the Qingming Mask, he will definitely know how to satisfy him. Your wishes and the secrets he protects will become yours."

Finger caressing the edge of the mask, Ye Yingtong turned her face sideways when she said this, as if checking information on the computer. If Yu Ke sat opposite her, she would have noticed that her expression was cold and her pupils were red. .

This is Ye Yingtong

No, it should be said to be Chi Mei’s true intention.

She wants to use Yu Ke's strength and status to find the bastard who betrayed his oath and make him pay the price!

"The question is how do I find him?"

Compared to trying his best to figure out the Qingming Mask, Yu Ke is obviously more inclined to find the "ghost in question" to help.

"I don't know yet. I will continue to help you search for information in this area. If I find anything new, I will tell you immediately."

Ye Yingtong, who turned around, had returned to normal. She looked at Yu Ke cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't notice anything strange.

"Well, if you need my help with anything, please feel free to ask. I will transfer 600,000 yuan to your card later, which will be used as research funds."

Although there was not much substantial progress, the clues provided by Ye Yingtong undoubtedly pointed the way to Yu Ke. As for the 600,000 research funds, it can be regarded as Yu Ke's reward for providing information to the former during this period.

After eating and drinking, Yu Ke got up and left the tent.

He was going to go to the peak he had just discovered that appeared in the illusion created by the God of Zhongshan.

Ye Yingtong, who stayed in the tent, didn't let out a sigh of relief until Yu Ke's back disappeared from sight, and then couldn't help but ask,

"Don't you know how to use the Qingming Mask? Yu Ke will definitely be willing to help you as long as he becomes the new owner of the Qingming Mask."

"The secrets involved in the Qingming Mask are of great importance. I want to see Yu Ke's actual actions. The evil star has come to the world, and this is the sealing place of the beast tide. A battle will inevitably break out. What kind of person is your savior? , whether we can bear this secret will be revealed tonight!”

Qing Ming and Red Ghost are of the same origin. The Chi Mei in Ye Yingtong's body, as the owner of the Red Ghost mask, naturally knows how to control the mask, but he just didn't say it on purpose.

There is never a free lunch in this world!
