Ark Journey

But don't expect to kill many people, as the Sarkaz are much stronger than humans on Earth.

After setting the trap, Xue Zhi directly dug three and filled one. After determining the south, she put away the iridium drill and took out the mining laser gun.

Mode adjustment, parallel mode.

The mining laser gun was very efficient, and its parallel mode trajectory was very stable, so it could easily break up any dirt or rock in front of it. His eyes could also see clearly in complete darkness, just like he had drunk a night vision potion.

While digging, fill the obtained blocks back to prevent the tunnel from being discovered.

Xue Zhi, who was underground, waved the mining laser gun in his hand, constantly breaking the soil and rocks in front of him. After advancing 500 meters, he carefully dug out the soil above his head, stuck his head out to observe the surroundings, and when he saw that there was no one around, he jumped out of the tunnel.

Looking down at the hole she had just filled, Xue Zhi found that it was no different from the soil next to it, so she felt relieved and continued walking south.

On the other side, the fleeing soldiers returned to the place where they attacked Xue Zhi, bringing with them a very tall and strong Sarkaz with horns on his head.

Several of the defeated soldiers recalled the battle with Xue Zhi just now and couldn't help shaking.

"Captain Sit, it was here that we ambushed the enemy who killed Captain Melissa, but..."

The sturdy man called Tracy interrupted the soldier beside him. He pointed at the corpses on the ground angrily and said loudly:

"Nothing to worry about. You should have seen how she died. You are not someone you can handle. Just follow her and determine her location. Why do you still need to attack her?!"

The man who had spoken just now lowered his head and remained silent. He had just been observing Xue Zhi's behavior in secret and found that he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. Some of his movements and habits as well as his white, reflective skin showed that he was a man who had never been on a battlefield. He underestimated the enemy, which led to the current tragic defeat.

"Hehe, you guys collect the bodies of your companions, and the rest of you follow me."

Seeing how frightened those people were, Xit sneered and didn't let them follow. Instead, he led his troops to follow Xue Zhi's footsteps.

On the way, Tracy's deputy leaned over to him and asked:

"Captain, is that man a spy who infiltrated from the Tower of Babel?"

"I'm not sure, but I know for sure that he is an enemy of our Military Committee, so we have to get rid of him regardless of whether he is a spy or not. Unfortunately, most of my men are facing the Tower of Babel head-on, so I can't spare many people."

"According to known information, he did not use any Originium skills, only an Eastern sword and a revolver. His physical strength was extremely amazing. The crossbowmen of Melissa's team could not penetrate his skin using Originium skills. The various Originium skills used by the warlock also had little effect on him."

"Gun? Sakta?"

Speaking of Sakta, Tracy's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Not sure. No one has reported that he has those disgusting halos and wings. He simply uses firearms. This should be guaranteed. After all, he is very recognizable."

"Well, tell the troops to be careful. The enemy could kill Melissa by smashing her head, which proves that she is not simple. Although Melissa is no match for me in hand-to-hand combat, as a blood demon, her speed and various Originium skills are difficult to deal with."

"clear."

Soon after they finished their conversation, the traces of Xue Zhi that had been spreading wildly in the woods disappeared out of thin air, and the cut bushes in the distance did not continue to extend.

The vanguard passed smoothly, but when the follow-up personnel arrived, a slight hissing sound suddenly sounded on both sides.

Chapter 5: Mineral Veins

Following a burst of fire, several glowing balls suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides.

"Hmm! What is that!?"

The nearest soldier subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

boom!

The bright light from the explosion instantly filled his vision.

The storm, mixed with flames, licked everyone on the trail equally.

At the critical moment, the experienced veteran magician used his Originium skills to pull up a piece of soil and protect the few people around him.

After eight loud bangs, the foul smell of gunpowder and the wailing of the wounded filled the forest path.

The charred body of Sit dissipated his Originium skills. He looked at the broken limbs and arms and his subordinates whose lives and deaths were unknown, and shouted loudly:

"Damn it! Mallory! Report the casualties!"

However, the familiar adjutant did not come to report as usual.

A medic not far away shouted:

"Captain, Mallory is seriously injured and is being treated!"

Looking past the wailing troops, Tracy saw that the entire left half of Mallory's body was burned, and his entire left arm and left calf were missing.

Seeing this scene, Sit was furious. He punched the tree trunk next to him hard, and the thick tree broke.

"Damn it! I will kill you!"

【+4512】

The sun was hanging high above her head. Xue Zhi suddenly heard the sound of points increasing and turned around with a funny smile in the direction she came from.

Then he continued to move forward and finally stopped in front of a clear stream less than one meter wide.

I found a shady spot under a tree and sat cross-legged. Judging from the time on the system panel, it was already 1130:. Although I was not very hungry, there were no pursuers at the moment, so I should satisfy my stomach as soon as possible.

Xue Zhi used currency points to exchange for a set of tableware, and then used food points to exchange for a piece of steak from Minecraft. She leaned against a tree trunk and ate it in big mouthfuls. The taste was nothing special, but it was a great steak with a slightly burnt flavor.

There were still four relatively large Originium Worms killed on the road in his portable warehouse. These little things were everywhere in the forest, and there were quite a few large ones. As for his purpose, he planned to taste this thing after settling down.

After all, the meaning of life is to keep trying new things (old face).

After quickly finishing her lunch, Xue Zhi simply washed the dishes in the stream and then crossed the river.

He knew that the people of this land would drive dogs, so the river made sense to eliminate his scent, but to be cautious, he took out the drill again and headed underground.

The boring underground journey went quickly. The mining laser gun could advance 15 to 20 meters at a time, and the Ramboton charger in the portable warehouse could charge the tools even without holding them in hand.

After digging more than 200 meters, the stones underground changed. Dots of dark green Originium were embedded in the stones, and some Originium fragments were suspended next to the fallen stones.

"A mineral vein? At such a shallow location?"

After collecting the Originium fragments, Xue Zhi thought for a moment and decided to dig them up. After all, they were all precious points. So he switched to Iridium Diamond and adjusted it to Fortune Three to start mining these rocks containing Originium. Perhaps Fortune Three could dig up more.

However, after digging dozens of blocks, he found that this was useless, and the amount of Originium dropped was still the same as that destroyed by the mining laser gun.

"pity."

Xue-Kuanggong-Zhi expressed regret that he could not get more Originium fragments, but it would be a considerable fortune if he dug them all away.

Continuing to dig, the source stone mine showed a linear distribution, which was very convenient for mining.

A piece of high-content source stone ore was dug up, and bright light suddenly shone into the dark mine.

"Have you dug into a mine that's exposed on the surface?"

Shielding the sunlight with her hands, Xue Zhi stepped out of the mine, and then met the eyes of a Sarkaz who was sitting on the ground resting not far away.

[Gah, why is there someone here?]

The Sarkaz was only wearing a simple, dirty black and gray vest, and his exposed arm muscles were covered with Originium crystals sticking out of his body. The first time he saw Xue Zhi, his hand reached for the pickaxe beside him.

"Who are you? I haven't seen you in the mining team."

"I was just passing by. I saw there was a source stone mine here, so I wanted to dig some and sell it."

Xue Zhi made up an excuse and slowly moved towards the exit of the mine, leaning against the rock wall. At the same time, he was ready to draw his sword and attack. He didn't want to kill anyone just because others saw him, but exposing his whereabouts was not a good thing.

There are basically no other races on the Military Commission's side, which has a taste of extreme racism, and he doesn't have any characteristics of Sarkaz. People like him will most likely be considered as someone from the Tower of Babel.

Sarkaz sneered after hearing his words. He gripped the handle of the pickaxe tightly and looked at Xue Zhi warily.

"Oh, don't lie. Who would be willing to come into contact with Originium in a mine? The radiation in it is enough to kill anyone. And your clothes don't look like you need to supplement your family income."

Xue Zhi, who was almost at the entrance of the cave, shrugged.

"It's up to you to believe it or not, but if you call for help, I guarantee you'll die."

Invisible mental pressure spread along with his words, and a small part of the power that could not be used directly was called up with his words. The Sarkaz miner, who was the first to be affected, immediately felt a strange pain in his chest like a fish out of water, and the difficulty in breathing that followed made him kneel on the ground.

"what?"

Xue Zhi, who had not expected that his words could have such power, raised his eyebrows. He thought he had met a coward, so he did not investigate further and quickly slipped out of the mine.

After walking out of the cave, Xue Zhi hid himself against the stone wall. He found that the rope ladder was far away, and not far from him there were two Sarkaz holding weapons and wearing simple leather armor who were chatting. They looked like supervisors, and they had not discovered him yet.

"Basically there is no way to avoid being discovered. It seems we have to go underground."

He retreated back into the mine carefully and silently, and when the Sarkaz saw him coming back, he trembled and hid himself in a corner.

Without paying attention to his actions, Xue Zhi quickly took out the drill and dived underground, then blocked the entrance above her head.

The whole process took no more than 10 seconds, and he disappeared from the sight of the Sarkaz miners.

After a long while, the Sarkaz miner, who finally felt better, dared to take a look at the situation here.

After making sure that he could not hear any sound, he crawled out of the mine and told the supervisor outside what had happened.

"My lord, my lord! There are invaders. Invaders from the Tower of Babel have reached the mine!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is our hinterland. How could an invader reach here?"

At first, the supervisor did not believe him, thinking that he was insane due to being exposed to too much Originium radiation, a common problem for people working here. But when he saw the neat, two-meter-high, one-meter-wide, endless mine tunnel, the supervisor realized that what he said was true.

After taking photos of the mine tunnel and passing them to his superiors through a messenger, the mine manager immediately summoned all his men to be on alert overnight.

Meanwhile, Xue Zhi quickly dug to a hill a few hundred meters away.

"Huh, it really feels good to see the light."

After making sure that she had dug several hundred meters, Xue Zhi used the method of digging one step at a time to return to the surface.

He looked in the direction of the mine, and sure enough, he saw many people in armor and carrying weapons walking in and out in a hurry.

Perhaps killing the miner at that time could have bought some time, but Xue Zhi asked herself if she could do that to an innocent person.

Chapter 6: Spirit

People do not share the same joys and sorrows. Xue Zhi just thought they were noisy. After looking around and making sure that he had not left any traces, he continued his journey.

The front-line commanders of the Military Commission were in distress at this time. According to the judgment of the command staff, an extremely dangerous and highly hostile unknown unit had entered their defense zone and was passing through their various defense lines at an unknown speed.

But they cannot allocate too many high-end combat forces to deal with the unidentified unit because of the pressure on the front battlefield. The evil spirit of the Tower of Babel is not a joke. If the evil spirit finds a weak position in the gap between the large troops fighting each other, the entire line of defense may face the risk of collapse.

The latest news is that he appeared at an important mine, but fortunately did not cause any damage.

A small number of frontline troops were secretly transferred to form a loose force, carrying Xue Zhi's portrait deep into the defense zone to search for the unidentified person.

To make matters worse, according to reports from spies lurking in the Tower of Babel, another spy who had obtained important intelligence was discovered while transmitting information and was now retreating here with the valuable intelligence. A small group of elite troops from the Tower of Babel were chasing him, forcing the command center to once again allocate precious troops to pick up the spy.

The moon was at its zenith. Xue Zhi, unaware that the situation on the battlefield had begun to shift slightly, dug a small hole in the mountain wall as her home for the night.

On the first night in the other world, under the flickering but bright candlelight, Xue Zhi missed her past life a little.

Although he has no relatives, he still has a few close friends, and he doesn't know what they will do when they learn that he is missing.

"Well, let's make the best of it now."

With a sigh, Xue Zhi temporarily put aside her nostalgia for the past and began to think about her future.

Kazdel was not a good place, but he could not leave here in a short time, so his short-term goal was to hide in the territory of the Tower of Babel and wait until the civil war was over before leaving.

As for where to go in the future, he thought that Dayan, a familiar place, would be the best. A city like Longmen is good, with a high degree of openness to the outside world, and it would be convenient to travel around this land in the future.

As for his identity, in a capital city like Longmen, if you have money, you can easily get your identity.

There are three one-cubic-meter gold bars in his warehouse now. 40 points can be exchanged for one. In the real world, the cost of buying such a large gold bar would be an astronomical figure for him.

By then, cutting off some of the gold and exchanging it for Longmen coins would be enough to gain a foothold in Longmen, and his strength would also ensure that he could keep these riches.

After tentatively deciding on the future path, Xue Zhi put aside all thoughts and concentrated on the dinner she exchanged for, an Italian tomato lasagna with meat sauce. Hey, let's try something foreign. It cost 15 food points, which was expensive, but worth it.

After a delicious meal, Xue Zhi wanted to lie on the red single bed and read a book. This was his only remaining form of entertainment. But as soon as his head touched the pillow, an irresistible sleepiness instantly came over him.

"no..."

Before he could finish his words, he fell asleep, and the book in his hand fell to the ground due to gravity.

After the bang, the cave fell silent, with only the candlelight flickering slightly.

The next morning, at dawn, Xue Zhi, who was lying on the red bed, opened her eyes and stood up.

"Is this still mandatory sleeping?"

Calling up the panel, he saw that the time was exactly 06:00 (am).
