Ark Journey

"Too much nonsense."

Xue Zhi took out the envelope again and placed it next to the man.

Then he left without looking back.

The people downstairs seemed to have heard the sound, or were curious about why Xue Zhi came down from the roof in such a short time.

But they didn't dare to ask, because these two might be people they couldn't afford to offend.

Wang's real body was in confusion, with a black dot hanging in the air between his fingertips.

Just now, everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark, and then the clone lost contact.

"Brother, are you trying to warn me?"

Because Xue Zhi was commissioned by Zhongyue, Wang couldn't help but attribute his behavior to his eldest brother.

But Xue Zhi was a little annoyed because this guy could speak human words but didn't, so she taught him a small lesson.

Without caring what Wang would think, Xue Zhi returned to the hotel she had booked and went to sleep.

The next day, Xue Zhi wandered around the capital again and prepared to leave after collecting new maps and routes to Dahuang City.

There is nothing good to stay for, and you may even be annoyed.

Early in the morning of the third day, Xue Zhi left the capital of Yan State and headed towards Dahuang City further north.

It took some time for Wang to wake up, and as soon as his clone regained consciousness, he followed the breath and began to look for traces of Xue Zhi.

But when he found her, he discovered that Xue Zhi had already checked out and left.

"Damn it!"

Wang pounded the table and began to think about what to do next.

There are already other clones heading in the direction Xue Zhi left, but it will probably be difficult to find him.

And now he was wondering whether he should go to Yumen to find his elder brother and ask his opinion.

After all, I can’t think of anything here by myself, and my elder brother will never harm me.

Chapter 19: Bandits

After Xue Zhi left the capital, he flew all the way to Dahuang City in the northeast.

He set foot on the northern land again, and the temperature, which had just warmed up, dropped to an extremely low temperature again.

The wind was howling, the snow was falling, and we were traveling day and night.

The map in Xue Zhi's hand was enough to guide him.

On the way, some people suddenly jumped out beyond Xue Zhi's expectations.

This was a group of people who were shouting "All the mountains, seas and wilderness belong to their master". They were of different races, but their clothes were obviously of the same type, and they communicated with each other in secret languages instead of ordinary language.

"Shanhaizhong? Ya hasn't given up yet?"

Xue Zhi recognized the identity of this group of people when she heard their slogan.

But he didn't understand why Ya sent his men to die when he couldn't get any benefits from him, and how they found him.

Not paying attention to the gradually forming encirclement, Xue Zhi focused her attention on the distance.

After spreading the mental power over a distance of several kilometers, no trace of Ya was found.

"Forget it. If we can't find her, then we can just kill her. It's not bad at all. I'm just worried about not having a way to earn points."

These people were all bandits, so there was no problem in killing them. Xue Zhi might even be able to get some reward money if she took the head of a leader of the Shanhai Clan to the government of Yan State.

Terra is like this, a combination of backwardness and advancement.

The encirclement was formed and the spell in Xue Zhi's hand was instantly cast.

The familiar Impaler appeared again on the land of Terra, and instantly cleared out all the enemies around him, leaving only a few alive for interrogation.

His companion's blood splattered on his face, and the man who was alive and kicking just now has now turned into a headless corpse.

However, Xue Zhi underestimated the mental toughness of these mountain and sea people.

Even faced with such a hellish scene, they still had the courage to fight back.

I have to say, their spells are quite interesting.

Most of the spells Xue Zhi often uses belong to the Shaping system according to DND, and she occasionally uses some Transmutation or psychic attacks.

As far as Xue Zhi was concerned, the spells used by these mountain and sea magicians were closer to the curse system, because Xue Zhi felt the breath of the subspace in their spells.

"Using the power of a giant beast to fight against one's own kind? Damn it."

Xue Zhi's face gradually became gloomy as she allowed these spells to hit her body.

Originally, he only knew the Shanhai people by their name, but now it seems that these people should be a cult-like existence, because only this kind of people can brainwash people to the current level of fearlessness and extreme fanaticism.

The magic spells that had always been effective in the past seemed to have no effect when they hit Xue Zhi, which made the few remaining people of the Shanhai Clan start to get nervous.

They shouted words that Xue Zhi couldn't understand, and then increased the power they exerted.

Then there is no use.

After the spell analysis was completed, Xue Zhi did not allow them to continue casting the spell.

Fu Sang drew his sword, but this time he didn't use any magic because Xue Zhi felt that using the sword mixed with her own strength to kill the enemy might have unexpected effects.

A few knife strikes were made and the survivors fell to the ground one after another.

When those people who had the slightest connection with the giant beast died, Xue Zhi vaguely felt that her own power was transmitted along some invisible connection.

"I hope you like my gift to you."

Xue Zhi put away the knife and whispered with a smile, then her figure disappeared in the wind and snow.

In the subspace, the soul of the giant beast that was licking the wounds caused by the hunt thousands of years ago suddenly let out an angry roar.

Several wounds appeared on its soul and physical body at the same time, and an extreme burning sensation was constantly coming from the wounds.

This feeling burned its body and soul together. Even in the subspace, it was impossible to stop this extremely aggressive energy.

Psychic power, isn’t it magical?

After killing groups of Shanhai people, Xue Zhi continued on his way to Dahuang City. However, the further north he went, the more sunny days he found there were.

The sun was hanging high in the sky, but there was only a bright light without any warmth.

A cultivated field appeared before our eyes.

The tiny wheat seedlings are taking root in the fields.

The north is bitterly cold and food is hard to come by, so we must cherish every acre of arable land.

When Xue Zhi arrived here, he found thick black smoke coming out from the other end of the settlement.

"Fire or what?"

Fires are not uncommon in winter when the weather is dry.

Xue Zhi went over to help, but after taking a few steps he heard shouts and screams.

"Are they bandits?!"

Xue Zhi's figure disappeared right away.

Then he emerged from thin air and noticed a group of men riding on beasts of burden and wielding scimitars.

They were indiscriminately hacking at the villagers who were defending themselves with spears and pitchforks.

"Kill all the people in this village! Take away all their food!"

Xue Zhi's appearance attracted some people's attention, but the spell that followed instantly sent all the bandits to hell.

The next moment, these trash who were riding on the pack animals were impaled on the ice cones that suddenly rose from the ground.

A large-scale healing spell was then cast, and the injuries of the injured villagers who fell to the ground were healed before they realized what had happened.

"Ahhhhh!!! Hey, am I okay?"

This was the reaction of the injured villagers.

The surrounding flames seemed to have welcomed their master. They all left the burning house and flew into the air, then went out directly.

After doing all this, Xue Zhi ignored the confused villagers and came to the bandit who had just shouted at him and whom he had left behind.

This made his mental toughness completely incomparable to those of the Shanhai people. As soon as Xue Zhi walked over, he was trembling with fear.

Without the arrogance he had just shown, the bandit shouted in panic.

"Don't kill me, man, don't kill me!!!"

Xue Zhi directly used her powerful mental force to suppress it.

The bandit, who was under excessive mental pressure, fell down with his head raised.

He was almost a fool now.

"Tell me, do you have any such thing as a camp?"

The bandit, with eyes wide open and foam at the corners of his mouth, answered Xue Zhi's questions as if mechanically.

"Have."

Then Xue Zhi continued to ask.

"Location."

"It's on a mountain 10 kilometers west of the village."

That's enough, no matter how many people and weapons they have.

Xue Zhi looked back at the villagers gathered behind her, thought for a moment and then said.

"I'm a retired soldier. I was passing by and saw someone invading your village, so I offered my help. I'll deal with their camp later to prevent them from attacking you again in the future."

Some villagers even wanted to volunteer to help Xue Zhi.

But the scene of killing those bandits instantly is still vivid in my mind.

Chapter 20: Cutting out the roots

After the figure disappeared from the original place and came several kilometers to the west, Xue Zhi left the ground and began to fly towards the place that the bandit had just mentioned.

Instead of killing the man, he left it to the villagers to deal with.

I believe those villagers will not let him down.

The view from high altitude is very good, and Xue Zhi can see the mountains ahead clearly at a glance.

The distance of several kilometers passed in a flash, and Xue Zhi reached the top of the mountain and looked down.

It is winter now, and the entire mountain range is covered with a layer of gray. The few plants that are left are bare, without any trace of crisp green.

Overwhelming spiritual energy poured down, just like a satellite surveying the terrain below and the life signals contained therein.

"I found you..."

Before her mental power could spread far, Xue Zhi found her target.

It was the top of a flat-topped mountain, on top of which there was a fortress of considerable size.

From the information Xue Zhi had found out, there were quite a few people inside, and some of them didn't seem to be bandits but were captured.

Xue Zhi was still confused when she set out.

"Why don't you send people to wipe out the bandit problem in such an obvious place?"

After arriving right above this place in an instant, Xue Zhi, looking down at the city below, released more spiritual power.

This helped him analyze which were bandits and which were not, in order to avoid accidental injuries and omissions.

Almost no one cared about the threat from the sky. The fact that Xue Zhi had been floating in the air for a long time without anyone noticing was proof of this.

"almost."

Xue Zhi, who had almost figured out the person below, raised her hand.

Then the earth began to tremble, and countless ice cones quickly extended from under the feet of each bandit.
