Ark Journey

But Shu knew that the battle below was about to end.

At this moment, a feeling of relaxation came from deep within the soul that had been exhausted for a thousand years.

The power used to restrain and suppress the evil spirits gradually returned, and she became more and more adept at purifying the leaked aura.

On the wastelands outside Dahuang City, several chief officers of the city were looking at Dahuang City surrounded by a faint black aura with worry.

They don't know what's going on inside and can only judge by the appearance.

Now it's clear that something is not quite right.

At the same time they have to appease the rest of the people, because once there is fear, it will make those things stronger.

The previous candle holder, now the highest official of Dahuang City, was standing on a high ground looking at Dahuang City.

She still remembered how Jianshu looked when he came to her and asked her to evacuate the residents.

"What happened to make you so anxious? Or are you unable to hold on any longer and planning to try to completely remove those filthy things?"

She had no idea Xue Zhi was coming, otherwise she would have definitely gone to ask him why he had bewitched Shu.

At this moment, a violent vibration suddenly occurred.

At one time, many people who could not stand firmly fell down.

Fortunately, the vibration came and went quickly, and disappeared after just a few times.

Dahuang City is not a normal city. It is more like a production base with a population of no more than a hundred thousand people at most.

But these hundreds of thousands of people are a lot, and now they are in chaos because of the earthquake just now.

As the chief officer, she could only appease the people and could not continue to observe the situation over there.

"Xu, I hope you are safe."

Underground, the battle is coming to an end.

The several-meter-tall giant beast had now been dismembered by Xue Zhi to a size that was even smaller than a normal person.

Rich psionic radiation spread throughout the entire cave, burning every inch of the demon's body at every moment.

After chatting for a while, W and Alina noticed that their bodies were fading and they realized that it was time for them to leave.

"It's over. To be honest, we didn't talk much."

"There will be opportunities in the future, Sister W."

Alina has grasped W's pain point. As long as she calls her sister, this Sarkaz will be very easy to talk to.

Besides, she is indeed older than me and arrived earlier, so it doesn't hurt to call her sister.

"Yes, there will always be a chance. Come to Kazdel and I'll treat you to baked potatoes."

"must."

After saying that, the two figures disappeared, and the golden figures behind them also turned into golden light.

Xue Zhi had no idea what was going on behind the scenes while she was doing evil things, and she had no idea that her two girls had already met.

The evil demon was dying at this moment, and all the eyes on its body were closed.

Smelly and sticky liquid flowed out from everywhere, staining the land black.

"ended."

A beam of blue light flashed across, and the remaining part of the evil demon completely evaporated.

At this moment, Xue Zhi perceived that the battle had only lasted for a few minutes.

Maintaining this form unchanged, Xue Zhi stretched out her strength to grab all the crystals on the surrounding cave walls that were formed by her use of psionic energy and put them away.

These are dangerous objects that are comparable to demons. Although it is still quite deep here, it will be troublesome if they escape to the surface due to geological activity one day and injure people.

After scanning the entire cave with spiritual power to confirm that there were no evil spirits or psionic crystals left, Xue Zhi began to cast a spell.

A large number of earth elements were summoned.

Mud and rock quickly formed.

They quickly piled up on the ground, filling the huge hole.

Xue Zhi planned to fill this place up, because who knows what kind of things would breed in an empty cave where evil spirits had lived.

Who knows, after a while some cultists might smell the scent and come here.

With a little more effort, he might be able to summon another group of evil fragments.

Spellcasting in this form was very fast, and it wasn't long before the entire cave was basically filled up.

Xue Zhi changed back into human form and found the passage she had come down from.

The black material here has also disappeared, revealing the severely corroded rock layer underneath.

"Done, let's go back."

Chapter 27: Mend the Soul

As dawn broke, Shu, who had been working hard all night, felt more relaxed than ever before.

Those things were really destroyed as Xue Zhi said, and his soul, which had been entangled for thousands of years, was completely liberated.

The evil aura of Dahuang City was completely purified by her. Without her main body, it didn't take much effort to deal with the escaped aura.

The morning light was very bright. Looking at the slowly rising sun, Shu suddenly felt his body light, as if he was about to float up to the sun.

Her body fell backwards, and the sun's light quickly magnified before her eyes, then became blurry.

"This world still needs you, are you willing to leave like this?"

An invisible force supported her body, and warm hands rested on her shoulders. Everything seemed to disappear, as if some kind of power was cut off.

Shu's soul has long been riddled with holes; this is the price he paid for suppressing evil for thousands of years.

But now, someone else will pay the price.

"Xue Zhi?"

"it's me."

The hand on the shoulder was removed, but the body returned to normal without any change.

Everything before my eyes became clear again.

Xue Zhi looked at the sunlight outside, thinking slightly.

Time was disrupted after all, and a few minutes in perception seemed like several hours in the outside world.

"Why can you..."

"It's not good enough to try to take people from me."

This evil fragment was originally intended for mortals to use against Sui Xiang, but fate played a trick on them, and Shu suppressed it here for thousands of years for a group of mortals.

With her soul almost exhausted, she should have been reclaimed by Sui Xiang, but Xue Zhi prevented it.

When he just came out, he noticed that Shu's body was entangled in a energy. The energy was illusory and had only a short tail in the material world. Most of it was rooted in the subspace.

So Xue Zhi, who thought this was the method of age, cut off the energy without hesitation.

Although these giant beasts are powerful, they are rooted in the subspace and can still be harmed by evil demons. As for Xue Zhi, who can even deal with evil demons, they are naturally unable to compete with her.

Without looking at the dazzling sun again, Xue Zhi lowered her head and said to Shu, who was full of curiosity:

"But you should still take a good rest now. Although I have got you back, the damage to your soul is still there."

"Rest? I haven't done this for a long time. Besides, the Great Wasteland City is not stable right now. There are still some evil demon pollutions that have not been cleared."

At this moment, Shu sensed that there were still things that had not been cleaned up in some hidden corners, especially in the bodies of livestock.

She was holding on to her last breath and her strength was fading quickly. She thought she had cleaned it up, but in fact she hadn't.

"Leave it to me. I'm better at dealing with these things."

Controlling the degree of energy output, an almost invisible light spread out in all directions with Xue Zhi's body as the center.

Then Shu discovered that the pollution disappeared the moment it was touched by the light, even those that invaded the bodies of livestock.

After the pollution was cleaned up, residents of Dahuang City began to return to the city one after another.

Each of them saw how Dahuang City was shrouded in black fog last night, and could feel a faint fear from the black fog.

So even some people who were complaining before have become much more well-behaved now.

Then they found that many of the crops planted in their fields had withered, and some had even disappeared.

This made them very anxious.

For a moment, the threshold of the government office in Dahuang City was almost broken by being trampled.

The officials didn't know how to explain it. The highest officers knew something but couldn't tell anyone, so they could only think of ways to deal with it and raise food and compensation.

At this time, Xue Zhi was resting at Shu's home. It was noisy outside, so it was better not to get involved.

Xue Zhi placed a bottle of sparkling liquid on the table. After careful consideration, he thought that this was something that could alleviate Shu's condition.

The Bottle of Enchanted, also known as the Experience Bottle, was almost impossible to obtain in the early versions of the original version. In fact, it was not very useful and could only gain a little experience.

However, Xue Zhi guessed that experience should be some kind of soul energy, so it might be useful.

"Drink this, it should help your condition a little."

Shu didn't have any doubts, but took it and drank it directly. She now trusted Xue Zhi very much.

"A little spicy."

After drinking it in one breath, Shu stuck out his tongue. The golden liquid inside was very viscous and had a spicy taste like burning fire. It was different from ordinary peppers and this one was more stimulating.

Xue Zhi put away the empty bottle and then asked:

"The taste isn't important, feel the situation you're in."

Shu nodded, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.

It didn't take long for her to open her eyes, her emerald eyes full of surprise.

The broken soul was actually repaired by the golden light.

"It worked! I can feel my body recovering a little, but it's relatively mild."

"It's good that it can be restored. I have a lot of this stuff here."

Xue Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. He was now wealthy and didn't have to worry about the quantity. The evil demon just now had provided him with nearly a million points.

After saying that, he put a backpack on the table.

"Three bottles a day. First see if there's any drug resistance or something. If not, drink more."

"Ah."

Putting the backpack aside, Shu sat across the table and looked at Xue Zhi, his eyes as if there was a flower on his face.

Xue Zhi, who felt uncomfortable being looked at, couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you looking at me all the time?"

"I'm just curious about your identity. The old Taoist priest came here before, but she couldn't solve the evil here, but you can."

"Really want to know?"

Shu nodded.

Xue Zhi thought about it, then pointed her finger toward the sky.

"Do you know anything about the universe and the stars? I come from the deepest place there, probably deeper than you know."

Shu was stunned for a moment, then began to shake his head.

She had no memory of the starry sky at all, and it was not until Xue Zhi mentioned this matter that she felt as if a thin membrane had been punctured and felt confused.

Why have I never been curious about what the starry sky above my head is?

"That's it."

Shu's expression and answer made Xue Zhi even more confused about this world.

It is possible that the previous civilization has imprinted the thoughts of all intelligent creatures and prevented them from exploring the universe. They definitely have the ability to do so.
