Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Li Ang didn't feel any malice from it, so he stood aside and watched its movements.

After a while, it picked out a painting from the pile of scrolls and held it in front of Li Ang with its short hands that looked a bit like fins.

"You mean, let me hold this?" Li Ang asked tentatively.

The black creature nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that there was no conspiracy in it, so Li Ang took the scroll.

As soon as Li Ang unfolded the painting, a large living person jumped out of the scroll and threw himself into Li Ang's arms.

"Xi?? You are indeed here."

The person Li Ang is looking for is Xi.

A few minutes ago, he discovered that the color of the ink marks on the painting was somewhat similar to the ends of Xi's hair.

"Brother?? Why are you here??"

Hugging Li Ang, Xi looked a little confused.

"I took a nap, and when I woke up, I found myself here." Li Ang explained.

"But... where is this place?"

"No! There's no time to explain! Let's go!" Xi shouted anxiously, "It's going to catch up!"

The moment Xi's words fell.

A huge black crack appeared silently in the sky.

A huge eye poked out from the crack, staring at the two people below with mocking eyes.

Chapter 27 Age

"It... came..."

Xi's face suddenly turned pale, and her body couldn't stop trembling.

I saw that the huge thing hidden behind the crack slowly stretched out a huge claw, put it on the edge of the crack, and gently tore it to the outside. The crack instantly expanded to several times its original size, revealing the true nature of the thing. face.

It was a giant dragon that seemed to be made of blue-gray ink, swaying leisurely in the dark void behind the rift, completely ignoring the two people below.

What kind of monster is this? ?Li Ang was startled by its huge size.

At first glance, the monster is even taller than the mountain they are on now. In many cases, size equals destructive power. Even if such a big monster only moves twice, the destructive power will be very terrifying, and the huge size also guarantees Its vitality is not so easy to be hacked to death by two swords.

But soon Li Ang discovered that this monster just looked scary. The aura it exuded was not strong and even a little illusory. He didn't know why it scared Xi like this.

If Li Ang's guess was correct, Xi's strength should not be weak and she could deal with the shadow of this giant beast alone. Otherwise, there would be no need for Zhang Daoling to trick her into joining the Han Dynasty's tomb.

"Are you old..."

During the day, Zhang Daoling had just told them the news that the Sui Beast might be resurrected. That night, the virtual image of the Sui Beast appeared in front of them. It was hard for people to believe that this was just a simple coincidence.

After putting down the trembling Xi, Li Ang comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Because the process of entering this space was very sudden, Li Ang didn't even have a weapon in his hand. Who would sleep with a stick all day long?

But this is harmless. Even if the Sui Beast is really resurrected, Li Ang may not be afraid of it. What's more, it is just a virtual image. Li Ang can solve it with his bare hands. This is also the biggest difference between Li Ang and that '粇'.

At this time, the huge body of the Sui Beast virtual image had completely emerged from the crack, stretching its body to its heart's content in this small world.

A wave mark with white shimmering light came out of his hand and flew towards the phantom of the old beast in the sky.

At the moment when the engraving is close to the virtual image of the old beast, the extremely compressed source stone can be transformed into the purest light and heat, and most of the fog shrouding the mountains and forests is dispelled by this light.

A big hole suddenly opened in the huge body, but the next second, its body healed as before, but the huge body seemed to have shrunk a bit.

"Sure enough, there is no entity."

That thing didn't look like it had an entity at first glance, so Li Ang chose to release the wave engraving instead of the other spells he mastered.

The virtual image of the Sui Beast seemed to be angered. Its winding body stirred the sea of ​​clouds in the sky. Raindrop-like ink stains fell from its body and turned into black creatures on the ground.

Is this... the same kind of creature that just helped Li Ang find the Xi Zang scroll?

No, although the appearance and style look very similar, the two give Li Ang completely different feelings.

If the former can be regarded as intelligent beings, these creatures created by the virtual image of the Sui Beast are just a group of emotionless killing machines.

These creatures made of ink swarmed towards the top of the mountain, but their weakness was also very obvious - they were extremely afraid of fire, and they didn't even need a spell as powerful as the Explosive Wave Sword. They only needed a little open flame to stop them. near.

A large number of monsters were evaporated by the flames, but the virtual image of the old beast just hovered in the sea of ​​clouds, constantly shaking off the ink on its body, replenishing the number of those monsters, without making any further movements.

Is it just using up its energy, or...is it simply incapable of doing anything further?

"Xi! I need your help!"

While harvesting the creatures created by the virtual image of the old beast, Li Ang shouted loudly, "Where is the exit of this world? Or do you know how to get rid of this big guy?"

During this period, Li Ang also tried to ignore the dark creatures crawling all over the ground and directly kill the virtual image of the old beast in the air, but his attack had little effect, even if Li Ang released all the wave markings at the same time in one breath, killing the virtual image of the old beast. The body is completely evaporated, and it can reappear in its place moments later.

Li Ang now seems to be relying on his level to crush and bully a boss who relies on the dungeon mechanism to lock his blood. This obviously cannot solve the root cause of the problem.

The key to solving all this lies in Xi. If Li Ang guessed correctly, Xi is the author of those scrolls, and she is the person who knows the world best.

"...It's useless, it is my shadow. If I don't die, no one can kill it completely."

Xi's voice came from behind Li Ang. It sounded so calm that it was impossible to tell what kind of mood she was feeling.

"Brother, there is actually no need for you to take a trip into this muddy water... I can completely solve it by myself."

The virtual image of Sui Beast in front of him is just Xi's shadow. Before Sui Beast's consciousness recovers, the shadow will never be able to defeat Xi, its master.

It's just that... I heard Zhang Daoling say that the Sui Beast might be reviving during the day, which gave Xi a bad association. She was a little distracted when facing the virtual image of the Sui Beast this time, and Li Ang who suddenly broke in at this time was even more distracted. It made her lose her sense of proportion.

Although the virtual image of the Sui Beast does not pose much of a threat to the owner Xi, it does not pose such a threat to others.

In this world, it has exactly the same abilities as Xi, and can even do many things that even Xi cannot do. However, it is limited by the lack of wisdom and cannot use this ability as flexibly as Xi.

Should Xi be glad that his abilities are not so suitable for fighting?

If it were her eldest brother, eldest sister, or even her annoying sister, what happened in front of her would not be such a petty fight.

"But I'm already here, so I can't do anything, right?" Li Ang replied.

"...It's really what Brother would say."

With a sigh, Xi said quietly, "It's time to wake up from this dream."

Xi pulled out an ancient red sword from somewhere. The sword was engraved with dense scale patterns, and ink-like clouds lingered on the sword, making it extremely extraordinary.

Aiming at the giant beast in the air, Xi swung the ancient sword in his hand heavily.

Like a huge brush falling from the sky, a blue-black ink mark split the body of the Sui Beast virtual image into two halves.

But this time, its body showed no signs of recovery.

The body of the old beast's virtual image was fading little by little. It gradually stopped struggling and stared at the two people on the mountain with cold eyes.

Until its body completely disappeared in this world.

The whole world once again returned to peace.

Chapter 28 When I Wake Up

Opening his eyes, Li Ang felt that his whole body was wet.

There was light rain falling in the sky, and the light mist blocked the light of the sun in the sky, as if Li Ang hadn't come out of that world yet.

However, the answer given by perception is that he has indeed returned to the real world, and the green tiles in his hand also feel cold.

Just now... was that just a dream?

No, the answer is not that simple. He has indeed consumed several wave markings prepared in advance. They couldn't have been used by Li Ang while he was sleepwalking, right?

But whether it was a dream or something else, just ask Wen Xi and you will know what is going on.

Unexpectedly, Xi was the author of the scroll. Before Li Ang could even conduct an investigation, the answer came to his door.

It just so happened that Liu Yi's trouble could be solved at this opportunity. It would be great if she could wake up, otherwise they would have to figure out how to deal with an unconscious person before they prepared to take action.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew by, hitting Li Ang's face with rainwater, interrupting his thinking just now.

"Hiss...it's so cold." Li Ang couldn't help but take a breath.

I don't know when it started to rain. Li Ang slept on the roof for the entire second half of the night, and his clothes were completely soaked.

"Ah-choo-!"

Feeling the chill coming from his body, Li Ang sneezed firmly.

This sneeze immediately caused a series of chain reactions.

Because of the rain, the tiles on the roof have become extremely slippery.

While sneezing, Li Ang's muscles all over his body tightened, and he lost control of his body at that moment. He lost his footing and fell directly from the roof with a loud thud.

Those who were still sleeping soundly in the house were also awakened by the movement and ran outside to see what was going on.

After they came out, this was what they saw.

Li Ang fell in the middle of the yard, his body covered in mud. It didn't hurt much, but he looked a little embarrassed.

Among those who heard the sound, Jingzhe was the first to rush out. She looked at Li Ang in the yard, hesitated for a moment, and asked,

"……What are you doing?"

No matter from which angle she thought about it, she couldn't understand why Li Ang was standing in the yard wet and covered with mud.

Perhaps because of the professional habits left behind in Dali Temple, the scene in front of him was too suspicious, and it made Jingzhe think about it for a long time.

However, after brainstorming for a while, she couldn't figure out the reason.

"I just accidentally fell off the roof."

Seeing what Jingzhe was thinking, Li Ang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

As for being unable to sleep last night and running out to lie on the roof to watch the moon, there was no need to explain this to her.

Jingzhe felt a little speechless when she heard this. She thought of something so simple that she thought it was so complicated.

After a pause, Jingzhe said, "Do you have any spare clothes? Go and change quickly. If not, I will find someone to bring you a set."

"As soon as everyone arrives, we will set off for Tianyue City. Don't get sick at this critical moment."

"No, don't worry." Li Ang replied casually.

After coming to this world, Li Ang has never been sick. In terms of his physical fitness, he is not immune to all diseases, but he is not immune to a mere cold.

At this time, Adele finally walked out of the room, but Xi was still missing.

After scanning with his senses, Xi was still lying on the bed without waking up. However, thinking of last night's experience, Li Ang was not surprised why she hadn't woken up yet.

Judging from her performance when Zhang Daoling persuaded Xi, it was not difficult to see how afraid she was of the entity "Sui", so Li Ang planned to change his clothes first, and then go find her later.

It's a good time to take that scroll with you and see if Xi has any way to repair it.

Li Ang didn't have any spare clothes, but he only needed to wash the mud off his clothes and then ask Adele to help dry them with magic.

"You mean, Miss Xi is the author of that painting?"

Adele said in surprise while controlling the moisture in the clothes to dry using the Origin Stone technique.

"Yeah, I didn't expect such a coincidence."

Li Ang wiped the water on his head with a towel and said, "There was an accident last night. I may have accidentally entered Xi's 'dream', where I saw the virtual image of the Sui Beast."

"But that's not important. What's important is that I saw many scrolls that were the same as that painting in Xi's dream. Even if Xi is not the author, she must know the author's facts."

This is basically a sure thing, but Li Ang didn't say it too fully.

"So, Li Ang, you are really..."

Halfway through her words, Adele suddenly stopped.

Regarding Li Ang's identity, Adele actually had no real idea, and she didn't know if it was appropriate to say it at this time.

"Probably," Li Ang said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't matter, does it? You should have heard before that in that natural disaster, the original 'I' should have died. The current me is actually nothing like before. Big connection.”

That's not a bad excuse.

Well, Li Ang has decided. Regardless of whether he has retrieved the memory of his predecessor or not, Li Ang has decided to say this to the outside world.
