Ark Journey

"The supplies in Dahuang City are not abundant, so I only made these few dishes. Please forgive me."

“These are good enough.”

After sitting down, Xue Zhi took the big bowl of rice from Shu Sheng.

At this moment, Xue Zhi felt that she was taking care of him like a younger brother.

But Xue Zhi quite likes this feeling. Who doesn’t like to have an older sister who can take care of them?

The food tasted very good, and Shu's cooking skills were almost superb.

If she is so amazing, how amazing can the youngest one who is in charge of cooking be?

After eating five dishes, Xue Zhi, who was already on her third bowl, slowed down a little.

He had some important matters to discuss with Shu.

"Xu, I actually came here for another reason."

"what?"

"The evil demon suppressed underground in the Great Wasteland City has entangled you for nearly a thousand years. This time I want to clean it up once and for all, so that you can have a good rest."

After hearing this, Shu did not move for a long time as if time was suspended.

Xue Zhi was also quietly waiting for her answer opposite her.

After a long time, Shu finally spoke.

"Is this also something that Big Brother asked you to do?"

Xue Zhi shook her head.

"No, the Grandmaster and your family didn't tell me about what happened here. I learned all this on my own."

He did not choose to attribute this to Zhongyue and others.

Because there is no need, and it's not something sneaky, just be open and aboveboard.

An unexpected answer. Logically, very few people should know about this.

"You are the disciple of the old master."

Xue Zhi shook her head again.

"Not at all."

After being rejected again, Shu fell into a slight confusion. She did not feel that Xue Zhi was special. This person might be very powerful, but she should be just an ordinary person.

It seems that it is not a good thing for Xue Zhi to hide herself too well.

"Can I read your palm?"

Xue Zhi stretched out her right hand.

"Okay, but I don't think you'll be able to see anything."

He didn't think millet could see his fate.

Xue Zhi's status is far above these giant beasts.

Sure enough, after taking a look, Shu asked Xue Zhi to take her hand back.

"Are you someone outside of destiny?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I think everyone should have destiny, it's just that the ones we can see are big or small."

Shu was silent for a moment, then asked:

"There are great risks in eliminating the evil spirits. Are you ready?"

She chose to believe that Xue Zhi possessed this power.

"It's done, and I know you will help me, but the price is your disappearance. Facing this situation, I must be well prepared, otherwise I will face your family's pursuit all over the world, especially your brother."

Shu, whose thoughts were almost seen through, looked at Xue Zhi in surprise, and then she laughed.

"You know my thoughts so well? I now suspect that you are my brother in disguise and are playing tricks on me."

Xue Zhi did not answer this question, but just shook her head.

He was still thinking about one thing, that is, even without using his mental power to deeply explore Xue Zhi's body, he could feel that Shu's body was aging to a certain extent. Perhaps he could find something to help her make up for the life she had lost over the years.

Good people like her should live longer.

"Can you show me your strength?"

"can."

Seeing Xue Zhi preparing to get up, Shu signaled her not to panic.

"Don't worry, finish your meal first."

So Xue Zhi sat down again and continued eating.

After finishing the fifth bowl, Xue Zhi had finished all the dishes and rice on the table.

After simply cleaning up the dishes and the table, Xue Zhi was taken by Shu to a small hill next to Dahuang City.

After the true form was revealed, Shu, who felt the extreme danger from above, confirmed that Xue Zhi had the ability to clean up the evil spirits.

She had never felt this kind of feeling even from the old Taoist priest.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Secret."

Xue Zhi was asked this question again and still did not answer.

Shu did not ask any further questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

After returning to Dahuang City, she found the city's manager and asked him to evacuate the people as soon as possible.

She didn't even want to let those people stay in Dahuang City.

Because if something really happened to Xue Zhi, it would be a huge disaster.

Shu secretly pointed out the problem of the evil spirits, and the administrators of Dahuang City could only evacuate the people according to her request.

After a day and night of emergency evacuation, Shu brought Xue Zhi to a building near the center of Dahuang City.

Here, there is something like an ancient well. Xue Zhi can feel the evil spirit from it which is several times stronger than other places.

No wonder there are no farmlands or houses nearby.

Shu said to Xue Zhi for the last time:

"Those things are sealed underground. Thousands of years have passed and even I don't know what has become of them. Are you sure you want to go down? It's not too late to regret it now."

"Believe me."

Chapter 24: Big Gamble

Xue Zhi's voice revealed confidence, and he was already prepared to break in.

There is no intention to use any magic. Those secondary energy utilization methods may not be able to directly eliminate the evil spirits entrenched in this place.

Instead, large patches of skin turned into black and gold. Xue Zhi planned to use her original body or this state to fight those evil demons.

"In that case, let's go."

Shu opened the ancient well-like device. The moment it was opened, darkness appeared below, and a strong evil aura permeated the entire building.

Xue Zhi didn't delay and jumped straight down.

Shu saw Xue Zhi jump down and quickly turned off the device.

The slightly flat chest rose and fell slightly, and a yellow-green mace appeared in Shu's hand.

She’s prepared here.

However, as Xue Zhi stepped into the area where the evil spirits were sealed, Shu suddenly felt something was wrong.

That is, Xue Zhi seemed to have an extremely convincing aura, and she made her own plan in just a few words.

It was not until now that she realized something was wrong, as if she had been deceived just now.

"I hope you didn't lie to me, Xue Zhi."

To be honest, Shu didn't have any regrets. Besides, she didn't feel that Xue Zhi really influenced her.

Although he was a little weak, he was still a part of the beast after all.

This could be considered a big gamble. If she won, everything would be fine, and she would be freed from the thousand-year-long suppression mission. If she lost, she would just die, and she had already prepared for that.

Xue Zhi didn't know what Shu was thinking. If he knew what she was thinking, he would definitely guarantee that he did not use his power to influence her.

After entering this area, one can feel an extremely strong evil aura lingering here, and the surroundings are pure darkness that is constantly falling.

Without trying to fly, Xue Zhi concentrated some of her strength on her eyes and saw the surrounding situation clearly. It was a wide vertical tunnel.

There are obvious signs of artificial excavation on the four sides of the tunnel. They should have been straight, but now a layer of black substance is parasitic on them.

This black substance is not a mineral or a dead object. It is more like a living thing. Under Xue Zhi's observation, he even found that these things were swaying at an imperceptible amplitude.

A piece of black substance was torn off the wall by Xue Zhi.

Once in your hands, these things have a disgusting greasy feel and the texture of meat.

And the moment it came into contact with Xue Zhi's body, the black substance suddenly began to dissipate out of thin air.

They shook violently, and then disappeared without a trace.

Xue Zhi had no idea what this area was like in the past, but now it had been eroded by evil spirits and had become like this.

That is to say, Xue Zhi is quite special. Anyone who is slightly weaker might be corrupted instantly after coming in.

The descent continued and there was no way of knowing how deep this tunnel was.

Not wanting to wait any longer, Xue Zhi flipped over in the air, then focused her attention and looked down.

"There is."

The body disappeared and was then teleported to the bottom.

After landing successfully, a disgusting soft and sticky touch came from under my feet, just like stepping on a slime.

Xue Zhi looked around, but saw nothing but emptiness.

This is a very huge space, or an underground cave.

A large amount of thick black substance occupied every edge, and normal soil or rock was not visible at all.

"Nothing? That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Xue Zhi stepped forward. With one step, without using any abilities, he felt himself arrive a hundred meters away.

Looking back, the passage I had just fallen into had disappeared.

"Space distortion?"

My feelings won't lie, so this place was affected too deeply to cause some weird scenes.

Xue Zhi didn't care and continued walking forward.

The space here is much larger than it appears, and it is entirely occupied by that black substance.

Xue Zhi, wandering aimlessly, or perhaps having already prayed for the direction in her heart, cleared away anything that stood in her way.

Attacks infused with psionic energy are very useful here. Once they touch a certain point, these unknown things will melt away as quickly as snowflakes touching the sun.

No points were added, only a roar so soft that it seemed to be non-existent rang in Xue Zhi's ears.

A faint blue halo suddenly appeared around Xue Zhi's body.

Within the range of the halo, all the black matter evaporated in an instant, revealing the normal rocks underneath.

A slight sense of spatial dislocation came over Xue Zhi, and at this moment she felt that one foot had stepped into the subspace, while the other half was still in the real world.

"Has it almost corroded this place into the subspace? The evil demons are really dangerous creatures."

Not caring about this wonderful experience, Xue Zhi continued walking forward.

An invisible and intangible attack suddenly appeared from the side, but it lost its effect as soon as it got close.

Sensing this, Xue Zhi smiled.
