Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

According to the information provided by Li Ang before, Zhang Daoling also got some information from the badge brought back by Jingzhe.

Although the specific purpose is unknown, there is no doubt that their actions are related to the tomb of the King of Han and the Sui Beast.

Si Suitai's recent series of actions gave Zhang Daoling a bad premonition. They had no idea what they wanted to do when they hooked up with the Ministry of War, and it was not ruled out that there were spies from the mysterious organization among them.

There are a total of 12 incarnations of the Sui Beast. Excluding those who are dead, missing, and those who are not in the Yan Kingdom, Zhang Daoling can only find a few of them. All of them hold important positions in the court. Not only Zhang Daoling can find them, but also Si People in Suitai can also find them.

But Xi was an exception. She could even stay in the mountains for decades without going out once, and she almost never made any noise. Si Suitai didn't even know that a person like him existed, and Zhang Daoling also found it by chance. Only then did I find out where she lived recently, and no one was more suitable than her to participate in the next action.

Zhang Daoling, the incarnation of the Year Beast who is not in the Yan Kingdom, has also tried to contact them. If they can return here without being discovered, they will be a surprise force.

If you want to prevent the resurrection of the Sui Beast without paying a heavy price, the power of these Sui Beast incarnations is indispensable.

Otherwise, even if the Sui Beast resurrected a shadow, it would be enough to cause a city in Dayan to suffer disaster.

Under Li Ang's comfort, Xi, who had just become a little violent, finally calmed down.

Only then did Li Ang have the opportunity to ask, "By the way, what did you mean before that the Taoist people haven't arrived yet? Did you find other people?"

"Of course, to be on the safe side, I also tried to contact all the incarnations of the Year Beast that are not in Great Yan. Some of them have decided to come back as soon as possible."

Hearing Zhang Daoling's answer, Xi suddenly became excited, and her eyes gradually became dangerous.

"Wait, you didn't call that guy back, did you?"

PS. Woohoo, I'm stuck again...

PS2. Why is 'be destroyed' also a banned word?

Chapter 25 night

The sun slowly sank below the horizon, and this busy and noisy day finally came to an end.

Lying on the bed, listening to the crisp chirping of cicadas outside the house, Li Ang didn't feel sleepy at all.

He had just experienced so many things during the day, and he would be damned if he could sleep without any psychological burden now.

The incarnation of the Year Beast... the tomb of the King of Han... the organizations hidden in the shadows... and even the confrontation between different organizations in the Yan Kingdom court. Everything he heard from Zhang Daoling made it difficult for Li Ang not to think too much.

"...Can't sleep at all."

Taking a deep breath, Li Ang simply jumped out of the bed. After getting up and getting dressed, he pushed open the wooden door of the room.

The evening breeze blew through the treetops, making the leaves rustle.

It was already three o'clock in the night. The whole courtyard was quiet at night. Everyone except Li Ang had fallen asleep. Maybe there were only a few people awake in the entire Gouwu City.

Those who are still asleep at this point are either suffering from insomnia or planning some shady deeds.

After looking at the yard and realizing that there was no one around, Li Ang jumped onto the roof lightly.

After assuming a more comfortable position, Li Ang lay down on it.

The twin moons hung high in the night sky, casting a faint silver light on the earth. Other than that, not even a single star could be seen in the sky.

Unlike the Terran people who knew almost nothing about it, Liang at least had the most basic understanding of the planet and the universe under his feet.

This situation is obviously not normal.

If within the city, the starlight in the sky would be affected by artificial light sources on the ground, but in the wilderness where there were not many artificial light sources, Li Ang still could not see any stars.

This would be possible unless...there are no other celestial bodies except the twin moons and the sun within thousands of light years around the planet Terra.

Or, there is some man-made object in the sky above the continent, blocking the starlight reflected from distant celestial bodies.

No matter what the truth is, this is not something that can be ignored casually. This is also a special situation that Li Ang discovered after regaining his eyesight.

After all, no one would tell Li Ang specifically about such well-known things.

After casually guessing about the conspiracy of aliens and the wonders of the universe left by pre-civilizations, Li Ang gradually calmed down.

Even if there is a Death Star fortress floating above their heads and the twin moons are gravitational tidal weapons controlled by aliens, they will not be able to fall on them in a short time. Li Ang now has more practical issues to consider.

"The Tomb of the King of Han... So that old guy called me here just to rob the tomb?"

While muttering in a low voice, Li Ang looked a little bit dumbfounded.

Although their ultimate goal is to prevent the resurrection of the old beast, the specific implementation process is to rob the tomb, which is still a novel thing for Li Ang.

After explaining the general situation, Zhang Daoling left in a hurry.

He is the master of the Tianshi Mansion, and just like the eldest brother and eldest sister in the Sui Beast incarnation, no matter where he goes, there will be people watching his every move.

During this period, Zhang Daoling stayed in Gouwucheng for a period of time on the grounds of visiting his apprentice who was dismissed from his official position. However, he had stayed here for too long. If he did not leave, it would actually affect Their next move.

Next, Zhang Daoling will do a big thing as the head of the Tianshi Mansion, attracting all eyes to him, whether overt or covert, and provide them with a good cover.

The situation on the border between Yanguo and Ursus was already in danger, and there was an urgent need for a powerful and prestigious general to take charge, who could not only deter the ambitions of the Ursus people, but also be able to manage the troops gathered at the border at this time.

Although Zhang Tianshi is not a member of the military, it is more than enough to go there with his status.

Some people had been speculating on his purpose of going out this time. Now that Zhang Daoling has gone to the front line, he can finally put those people at ease.

As for Li Ang and the others... they only need to wait for the last person to arrive in Gouwu City, and then they can follow Zhang Daoling's arrangements and secretly go to the place where the Han Dynasty's tomb may exist. Zhang Daoling had arranged everything before Li Ang arrived in Yanguo.

"The last person...sister?"

When Zhang Daoling said that there was another incarnation of the Year Beast who had not come, Xi's expression changed obviously, and she obviously guessed who that person was.

Under Li Ang's questioning, Xi Cai reluctantly told Li Ang that if there was no incarnation of the Sui Beast that Zhang Daoling could contact in the Great Yan territory, then Xi Cai could only think of her annoying sister.

That is, the incarnation of the Sui Beast who was born at a similar time to Xi and is the closest to her.

It's just that the relationship between the two is not very good, just like what happens in countless ordinary families. The enthusiastic and cheerful sister always likes to tease the introverted and shy sister. Although she knows that this is an expression of closeness, Xi I just hate the way she does it.

Her elder sister is also one of the Sekai Sect. Because of her abilities, she once held an extremely important position in Dayan's Ministry of Industry. She built many mobile cities in Dayan with her own hands.

It's just... Later, because the tasks assigned to her by Dayan were too heavy, she really couldn't bear it, so she found a way to quietly run away and leave Yan Country.

After knowing this, Xi Ke laughed hard.

However, even if she has left Dayan's territory, she still maintains contact with Dayan. She left in the name of going on vacation. If the time is right, she can return to her job.

After all, if you want to fight against 'Sui', Dayan's power is indispensable.

The twelve incarnations of the Year Beast were divided into two groups. Some people actively integrated into the Yan Kingdom, such as their eldest brothers and sisters, while the other group were escapists like Xi who did not want to participate in the troubles of the world at all. .

But with the possibility of Sui Beast being resurrected, Xi couldn't participate even if he didn't want to.

If the Sui beast really revives, it will be a disaster for these incarnations. If they can still resist the Sui beast before the resurrection, but as long as the Sui beast's consciousness wakes up, even if only an incomplete part is resurrected, it will be a disaster. It's not something these fragments of power can contend with.

……

Li Ang fell into sleep unconsciously under the blow of the night wind.

He didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up again, his surroundings seemed to be a little different.

"Huh? What is this?"

I don’t know when it started, but an extremely thick layer of fog filled the sky and the earth.

"Is this... foggy?"

Chapter 26 Fog

Looking around, Li Ang could only see things within less than one meter of his surroundings.

Everywhere he could see was a vast expanse of white mist. The mist seemed to have consciousness, wrapping around Li Ang's body and changing its shape with his every move.

There was deathly silence all around, even the cicadas that never stopped chirping in the summer were silent. It was so quiet here that it was a bit scary.

Such a thick fog brought back bad memories in Li Ang's heart, as if the larvae of the fish would emerge from the corners of the fog at any time.

It's not very lethal, but it's really disgusting. For that kind of slimy and slippery creature, Li Ang doesn't even have the slightest affection for it.

It's just... this is not an ordinary mist around Li Ang.

Generally, fog is composed of tiny water droplets in the air. Although it cannot be detected by the naked eye, it can only be captured within the perceptual range.

But in Li Ang's perception, these fogs did not exist, as if it was just a visual special effect.

"Wait, what is this place?"

Li Ang just wanted to see what the mist was and see how the others were doing.

But what he didn't expect was that the other people who were supposed to be in their respective rooms disappeared, and even the roof below changed its appearance.

Although the architectural style of Gouwucheng is quite ancient, it is generally still dominated by brick and tile structures. But now what Li Ang touches is a handful of thatch that is a bit prickly. The originally beautiful blue brick house has now become a There are some dilapidated thatched houses among them.

Jumping off the roof, the gray stone bricks beneath your feet were no longer there, but a lush grassland.

The ground has a certain slope, and he can feel the impact of gravity on himself. Did he sleep and then run up the mountain inexplicably?

"Wait...this strange feeling..."

Soon, Li Ang noticed something was wrong.

Everything around here, whether it was the diffuse mist or the thatched house next to him, gave him an unreal feeling, like the moon in the water that could break at the touch of a touch.

The last time this happened was...

"The world in the painting?? Why am I back?" Li Ang was stunned.

Isn't that painting still in his luggage?There was a lot of information received today, and Li Ang didn't even have time to ask Jingzhe if he could find the author of the painting, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen at night.

Is it the Haihe sealed in the painting that caused all this?Or the badge that Li Ang lost?

Intuition told Li Ang that it might be very dangerous to keep in touch with that mysterious organization, so after throwing away the badge and confirming Shui Yue's reaction, Li Ang did not pick up the thing. Now it should also be sealed in the world of the painting.

These two things are the most likely culprits that caused this incident.

So what about others besides Li Ang?Or is he the only one involved in the world of the painting?

With a slightly anxious mood, Li Ang tried to push open the door of the thatched cottage in front of him.

Following his movements, countless dust spurted out from the crack in the opened door, choking Li Ang and coughing repeatedly.

"Cough cough cough..."

When the door of the thatched house was fully opened, what Li Ang saw was countless scrolls piled randomly in the corner of the room, which were exactly the same as the scrolls originally hung on the wall of the shrine.

"This is……"

Li Ang picked up a scroll from the ground and stood to take a look.

Although the power carried in the scroll is not as powerful as the painting that has been soaked by the Great Ming God for hundreds of years, the faint trace of light cyan ink on the painting is exactly the same as that painting.

This also means that... all the pictures displayed here are the kind of paintings that can be a world of their own.

"What the hell is this place?"

At this time, Li Ang also realized belatedly that this was definitely not the picture scroll named "Sagazaki City". With so many picture scrolls piled randomly on the ground, the only person Li Ang could think of was the author of these picture scrolls. .

"No way... Is it really such a coincidence?" Li Ang murmured.

At the same time, Li Ang no longer restricted his perception. As his eyes gradually fell into darkness, his perception quickly extended to the surroundings.

This is a mountain peak, and his current location is halfway up the mountain.

When Li Ang's perception extended to the foot of the mountain, he hit an invisible barrier. He had already touched the boundary of this space.

This mountain peak is the entire painting, but Li Ang did not find anyone else on the mountain, not even other life.

There are no people, no animals, and no mosquitoes. Li Ang and these flowers, plants and trees are the only living things in this world.

This discovery made Li Ang relax a little. It seemed that not everyone was involved in this world.

But...if Li Ang's guess is correct, besides Li Ang, there must be someone else in this world, but where is she now?

Li Ang looked at the scrolls piled everywhere in the room.

The only possibility lies in these scrolls.

But if you have to search through so many scrolls one by one, you don't know how long it will take to find the person Li Ang is looking for.

Just as Li Ang was standing there at a loss what to do, the scrolls on the ground suddenly trembled slightly, and a stream of black ink flowed out from the gaps in the scrolls, forming a strange black creature in front of Li Ang's eyes.

"What is this?"

The appearance of this creature looks a bit like a penguin, but if you take a closer look, you will find that there is nothing about it that is the same as a penguin.

The creature stood up from the ground unsteadily, and then rummaged through the scrolls on the ground.
