Ark Journey

They had no time to react and died on the spot.

Xue Zhi also left behind a bandit who was obviously the leader. His body was now locked in ice on a chair covered with animal fur and could not move.

In the hall of the fortress below, the bandit leader was terrified by the sudden death of his men, and he also lost his freedom in an instant, which was completely unexpected.

【What kind of expert is this!? 】

There was no point in resisting, the ice was very hard and he couldn't break it, so he could only let the coldness corrode his body.

Xue Zhi came to the prison where other people were held.

There are three women here. They look very bad but have good looks and figures. They must have been abducted.

The bandits who had just been guarding them were suddenly killed by ice spikes that shot out from under their feet. The red and white stuff splattered all over the ground, and they were so scared that they huddled together in a corner of the cell and screamed.

The high-frequency sound unique to women gave Xue Zhi a little tinnitus when she came in.

He knocked several times on the prison bars.

"Quiet, I'm here to save you."

It’s a pity that I didn’t ask the general for a badge or something to prove my identity, otherwise it would be much easier to do things now.

The crisp sound of steel in the winter made the three women notice someone coming in.

One of them, who looked the oldest, mustered up the courage to ask Xue Zhi:

"You, are you really here to save us?"

"I can't fool you."

Xue Zhi grabbed the iron gate, then exerted a little force to pull it down and threw it aside.

The dilapidated prison was covered in a lot of dust due to the huge noise.

After making sure that there was no one else here, Xue Zhi turned around and walked out.

"Follow me, don't get separated."

The three women looked at each other, and finally followed Xue Zhi's footsteps.

The cold wind was howling outside, and Xue Zhi threw out three green military coats.

"Put it on, be careful of the cold."

After they all put on their clothes, Xue Zhi walked towards the place where the few living people were.

At this moment, there were few people in the entire city who could still breathe.

A large amount of blood was spreading everywhere, and small pools of blood had formed in the low-lying areas.

The extremely strong smell of blood makes people want to vomit.

The three women followed Xue Zhi closely, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the miserable plight of the bandits on both sides.

After several turns, we arrived at another house, where there was also a woman.

Just now, when Xue Zhi was observing, a bandit tried to commit a crime, and then he dragged him down and killed him with an ice spike.

He still knew the seriousness of the matter and did not stab the bandit to death directly on the woman's body, because that would leave a huge trauma on people.

After entering the house, with the help of the three rescued women, Xue Zhi quickly gained the trust of the woman.

After taking her with her, Xue Zhi walked straight towards the big house where the bandit leader was.

Calculating the time, he had been trapped for several minutes.

Saving people is a very troublesome matter. If it were just a pure bandit, Xue Zhi could solve the problem in just a few seconds.

The heavy door was pushed open, and the bandit leader, thinking that reinforcements had arrived, was about to speak, but when he saw the women wrapped in military coats and the ordinary-looking man in leather armor in front of them, he realized that he was overthinking.

Xue Zhi used the same old trick again and crushed the man's will.

After a brief interrogation, he learned that this man was just a simple bandit and there was nothing bloody behind him.

"That's good. It saves me the trouble."

After Yidao got to know him, Xue Zhi took a few women to the warehouse of the bandits, where there was a lot of money and food they had robbed.

After accepting all the source stone products and food inside, Xue Zhi pointed to the pile of valuable gold and silver and said:

"Take them as you please, but be careful not to let these things harm you."

Along the way, Xue Zhi's decisiveness and calmness frightened the four of them. As soon as these words came out, the four of them only took a little and then stopped.

Xue Zhi, who was watching from the side, did not comment. He collected all the rest.

"Do you still know where your home is?"

Some nodded, some shook their heads, and one even burst into tears.

Seeing this, Xue Zhi knew that she had said too much.

"Well, it looks like something regrettable has happened."

Ignoring the crying woman, Xue Zhi walked ahead and left the warehouse.

The four people could only follow closely behind.

"Stand still, and don't be afraid of whatever happens next."

Xue Zhi said this to them, then raised her hand, and a piece of land was torn off, carrying the four people on it and flying high into the sky.

Although the women who had just been warned were a little panicked, they were mentally prepared and finally did not shout out.

After setting fire to the fortress below to prevent it from becoming a bandit den again, Xue Zhi turned around and said:

"I don't have time to take you home now. I will drop you off in a village later and you can ask them to help you."

After saying that, he flew directly to the village he came from.

A few minutes later, a group of people came back. The traces of the battle here had not completely disappeared, and large pools of blood were still on the ground.

Chapter 21: Departure and unexpected encounter

The villagers who were cleaning up here hurried over when they saw Xue Zhi falling from the sky.

"Master, you are back."

The name that had a sense of the times made Xue Zhi stagger as she just landed.

However, Xue Zhi, who would not be staying here for long, did not care about the meaning of this title.

"I have killed all the bandits near your village. You can rest assured for a while."

"Oh, thank you."

The villager did not suspect that Xue Zhi was able to travel between the two places and kill all the bandits in such a short time.

"I have some food here that I found from the bandits. It's useless to me, so I'll leave it with you. Also, these women were abducted by the bandits. Some of them still remember where their homes are. I need your help."

When the villagers learned that there was something, they realized that they could no longer make the decision on their own.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go call our village chief over."

"Ah."

Soon, a tall man ran over.

Xue Zhi recognized him. This man had just stood at the forefront of the resistance against the bandits. He seemed to be a good person.

As soon as he came up, the village chief bowed deeply.

"Thank you, General, for saving our village and saving so many of us."

"It's just a small matter. I have some food here. Where should I put it for you?"

When he heard about food, Village Chief Yi's eyes lit up.

"Follow me, our village's granary is over here."

It is winter now. Although there is often food relief from the government, it is not a big deal after all.

Xue Zhi followed the village chief to the village warehouse, put all the looted food in it, and then told him about the women behind him.

"They still need some help."

When the village chief learned of their plight, he patted his chest and expressed his responsibility.

"We are both wanderers in this world, so leave the matter to me, General."

Hearing the village chief say this, Xue Zhi felt relieved.

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave first."

The village chief tried to persuade him to stay.

"Sir, why don't you stay for dinner so that we can thank you properly?"

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have something else to do."

"Then take care. If you pass by our village again, we will definitely treat you well."

"Ah."

Before leaving, he glanced at the women who were rescued.

He hinted to them with his eyes that they should not show off their wealth, after all, money can make people's hearts flutter, and no one knows what will happen.

I just don’t know whether they understood it or not.

The little incidents during the trip came and went quickly, and the whole process took Xue Zhi less than an hour or two to complete.

This is the benefit of having absolute power.

On the way, as they felt they were getting closer to Dahuang City, Xue Zhi began to recall the story of Huai Shuli's activities.

As the last activity I watched before the time travel, I still remember the relevant details clearly.

"The current time should be several years before the plot takes place. The construction of the Twelve Buildings and Five Cities should not have started yet. In other words, nothing major has happened in the Great Wasteland City. There are only the evil demon fragments suppressed by millet underground that need to be dealt with."

As a Dongda student, Xue Zhi still admires Shu who sacrificed himself to suppress the evil for a thousand years.

Not to mention that he was also concerned about people all over the world having enough food to eat, which made Xue Zhi admire him even more.

Therefore, he planned to clean up the evil fragments underground when he arrived in Dahuang City. As for using it to activate the twelve floors and five cities, he would make another trip when the time came.

After a few years, I should have a deeper grasp of the power. If that doesn't work, I will go to the north to find another piece of evil demon fragment to activate the twelve floors and five cities.

Shu should get her freedom as Ji said.

The wind was howling, and Xue Zhi, who was flying in the sky, noticed the caravan winding its way below.

In the caravan, he sensed a strange aura.

The so-called aura, in Xue Zhi's view, is the flow of information entangled around the human body. These flows of information are not large but extremely obvious, and will not cause any active impact on people.

Now his body was surrounded by two very strong auras and one slightly weaker aura.

"Is it Ji? It's fate."

When they landed on the ground, they met the slowly approaching caravan.

The convoy stopped and thought Xue Zhi was the caravan guard of the bandits, so they immediately prepared for battle.

But Xue Zhi's gaze passed over the crowd of people and the carriage and fell on the person who was slowly approaching.

He bowed to the caravan guards from a distance.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm only here to look for your boss. His family has something to give him."

The guards who heard this still did not let down their guard.

They put down their weapons a little until a tall, elegant man in good clothes emerged from the convoy.

"Boss, do you know this man?"

Ji didn't say anything, he just frowned and looked at Xue Zhi.

Chongyue is a mortal, Ya is just an agent, and the one Wang sent to play chess is his clone.

The three of them could only sense Xue Zhi's weirdness but couldn't figure it out completely, but Ji was a complete piece.

In his eyes, Xue Zhi, who suddenly appeared with various auras all over her body, was out of tune with the surroundings. One moment she seemed to be rejected by the world, and the next moment she seemed to be completely integrated into the world.

What's even more bizarre is that he can't see through Xue Zhi's luck. It's obvious that even the luck of a big country can be used by him, but he just can't see through a single person.
