Ark Journey

Seriously speaking, this was not a successful large-scale magic. A large amount of energy was not properly applied to the enemy's head, but was wasted on light energy and sound energy. If it weren't for Xue Zhi's manual operation at the end, the enemy's casualties would have been reduced by half.

Leaning in Xue Zhi's arms, W watched the entire performance and was very excited. He even felt a tremor in his bones: "Is this your pure power? Or did you borrow that cloud?"

Xue Zhi, who was still in high spirits, smiled and replied, "Both. This cloud provided the conditions for me to cast a large-scale spell, and I made it even more violent, so that it instantly consumed all the rain and lightning in this cloud."

W suppressed the urge to tremble in her body. The person with the power like a natural disaster was right behind her, which made her feel particularly excited. Even the hands touching her belly brought her a strange feeling.

The recovered mercenaries immediately released drones behind the hill that had just been covered by thunder. They had not forgotten the order just now, but the members of Team W did not take any action. They did not think that Xue Zhi would leave any survivors. The face of this literary deputy captain was as white as his heart and hands were black. However, the mercenaries liked it this way.

As those people expected, the drone captured images of human-shaped charcoal and rocks that were blackened and melted by lightning. The Sarkaz troops who wanted to be the jackal were destroyed before they could even see the target clearly.

The mercenaries who were still on guard were surprised when they heard the news that the enemy was wiped out by lightning. It was hard to believe this kind of thing at first, but then they relaxed after seeing the drone photos. After all, the enemy was gone.

Hedley, who was at the front, felt like he was on a roller coaster. He was just worried that with the mercenary group's current state, fighting against these sudden teams would be full of uncertainty. But not long after, those people all died, and their deaths were unclear.

He stroked his stubbled chin, pondering the possibilities. As for whether it was really God's will, a real Sarkaz wouldn't believe this. If there really was a "god" overlooking this land, then where did all these disasters and famines come from? Why did the Sarkaz fall into this situation?

[Xue Zhi did it? It's possible. He should be able to do it with his position and ability...]

In view of the appearance of some people with bad intentions, the entire convoy increased its speed to a terrifying level, striving to return to the base as quickly as possible.

On the uneven wasteland, the truck, with the accelerator fully stepped on, rose and fell violently. Fortunately, the mercenaries in the truck bed had recovered from their injuries and were just recovering their strength at this moment. Otherwise, Xue Zhi would have needed to go down and treat them long ago.

The team leader just now used his strong old arm to hold on to the guardrail, and waved his somewhat weird new arm to curse at the driver. Although it was not good-looking and very weak, it was better than being a one-armed hero.

W on the roof was not feeling well either. Apart from the bumps, she was also faced with the dilemma of the soft seat turning into a hard seat and even turning into a socket.

W was a little moved and blushed as he cursed: "'Sarkaz foul language', Xue Zhi, why are you like this?"

Xue Zhi looked normal, and even hugged her tighter: "It's a physiological reaction, it's normal."

......

The difficult journey finally ended before the sun set, and thanks to good luck, several cars did not break down on the road.

Looking at the mercenaries who were unloading the cargo, Hedley wondered whether he should leave a few vehicles behind. These were valuable vehicles. Although fuel was a big problem, it was not impossible as long as the cost-effectiveness was high enough.

All the drugs were unloaded from the truck for inventory. In addition to the quantity, Babel Tower also had requirements on the types of drugs.

As one of the few educated people in the mercenary group, Xue Zhizheng and several mercenaries were identifying the types of medicines and sorting them out. After all, in addition to the medicines that the mercenaries knew about daily use, there were also some that they didn't know about that they had to ask Xue Zhi to take a look.

The phonetic writing system of Kazdel makes some things extremely difficult to recognize, especially some newly coined words, but Xue Zhi can roughly distinguish the type of medicine without looking at the long words in front.

"Let me see, is this XXXmycin? Put it in the pile with antibiotics."

The mercenaries were very obedient. This time, Xue Zhi's behavior of killing and curing along the way greatly boosted the reputation of the mercenary group.

Nearing dawn, the medicines were finally counted. Ignoring Xue Zhi and looking at the exhausted faces of the mercenaries, Hedley decided to send the medicines to Babel Tower tomorrow, since there was no urging from the other side anyway.

After finishing the work, Xue Zhi, still full of energy, returned to the tent. W had been waiting for him for a long time.

The camisole restrains the beautiful young body, with fair skin, slender arms and full breasts. The lace and the hollow design of the abdomen below add a touch of mature feminine charm to this pure body.

An alluring fragrance was released from W's body. Xue Zhi held her in her arms and stroked the beautiful curve on her back from her shoulder blades to her waist and finally up from her buttocks.

Because W's chest was pressed against him, it seemed wider than her slender body and looked especially soft.

"Still not asleep?"

"I'm not that tired, and I'm angry and can't sleep."

He couldn't help but kiss her red lips, and W, who was already excited, responded enthusiastically.

Their lips parted, and W gave all his body weight to Xue Zhi. After fitting every inch of her curves together, W hung on him like a koala and closed his eyes in contentment.

Just as Xue Zhi's hand slowly slid down, W suddenly bit his ear.

"I have a question for you. Since you are a scholar studying Kazdel, do you know my race?"

This question made Xue Zhi stop what he was doing. He quickly thought about W's race. One theory was that he was a demon called "Baphomet"; another theory was the more popular "succubus", after all, the arrow-shaped or heart-shaped tail was so recognizable.

In order to add interest, Xue Zhi chose the latter statement.

"Is it a succubus?"

"If you really know, then you don't have to worry..."

The warm and moist breath blew on her ears, and the soft voice made Xue Zhi even more excited.

Before he finished speaking, W raised his body, pressed Xue Zhi's wrist slightly to press him down, his bright pupils flashing an alluring light.

"...Do I eat you up completely?"

Facing W's condescending attitude, Xue Zhi laughed.

"Then please be gentle with me, ma'am."

"of course."

......

Chapter 41: Unemployment

In the early morning, the fierce summer sun has not yet fully demonstrated its power. Only bright light fills the earth, keeping this oasis cool.

Xue Zhi, who had gotten up early, was cooking on an earthen stove in front of the tent.

The stove was made by him using earth elements, and the fire inside was a rootless fire formed by magic, which was really convenient.

In the frying pan is a two-centimeter-thick piece of tuna belly. The oily fish fillet releases its aroma completely when fried in olive oil, while the rosemary placed next to the fish continues to emit its unique aroma under the action of high temperature.

The thick steak collides with the fat, making a very healing sizzling sound.

After briefly frying both sides, Xue Zhi picked up the already shaped tuna steak with tongs and began to seal its edges.

Soon, the marinated fish fillets were ready.

Serve on a plate and top with a few cherry tomatoes fried in the pan and sea salt and crushed black pepper. A delicious breakfast is ready.

W, who had just finished washing up, looked at the new thing Xue Zhi had made in a short time and was a little curious: "What kind of meat is this?"

Putting the plate on the table, Xue Zhi summoned a water ball and washed her hands: "Scale beast, the meat from the belly of a very large scale beast."

W compared the steak in front of him with the scale beast in his memory, and then estimated that the scale beast might be about the same height as himself: "Ah? Yan Country has such a huge scale beast?"

Xue Zhi didn't elaborate, but just mentioned casually: "There will always be one, as long as the river is deep enough."

Earlier, Hedley and Inès came to ask them if they wanted to go with them to hand in the mission, but W played too late last night and it was too early now, so he was not in good spirits. Moreover, he could not see Theresa this time to hand in the medicine because she went to the front line to comfort the officers and soldiers, so Xue Zhi and W stayed behind to guard the house.

Based on Xue Zhi's understanding of W, this girl loves to eat and is not picky about food because she experienced hunger as a child.

This time, he specially found some things that he had never eaten before and wanted to try to cook.

The soft but firm fish meat exudes an oily aroma. Although it is a small piece, it is still extremely satisfying to eat with buttered garlic bread.

After finishing breakfast, W felt his slightly bloated stomach and basked in the sun. After regaining his spirits, he suddenly didn’t know what to do today.

Normally, she would go fight Inès after a short rest, but today she and Hedley went to complete a mission, and according to their schedule, they would not be back until the afternoon.

W looked at Xue Zhi who was controlling the water ball to wash the dishes and pots, and suddenly said: "How about you play with me?"

Xue Zhi was stunned when she was pointed out: "Me? Are you serious about beating me?"

W blushed. She attacked first last night, but was quickly defeated by Xue Zhi's defensive counterattack. Now, when she heard his teasing tone, she felt a tingling sensation all over her body. To cover up her shyness, she gently threw a grenade shell that she had been playing with for a long time at Xue Zhi: "Serious."

After collecting the cleaned frying pan and plate, Xue Zhi caught the grenade shell and smiled: "Okay, let me practice with you."

After putting on their equipment, W and Xue Zhi came to an open space. Because yesterday's commission was very difficult, there were few mercenaries practicing here today, and they were still sleeping.

The two stood at a certain distance from each other. Xue Zhi raised her hand, and a ball of water appeared out of thin air. It then stretched and deformed rapidly, and finally turned into an appearance that was identical to Xue Zhi herself except for her skin color. "I use my avatar to fight you. Do you mind?"

Surprised at how convenient Xue Zhi's source stone skills were, W took a stance: "Of course, I can't beat you in person, but fighting with an avatar is more interesting."

Xue Zhi controlled the avatar to perform a fist-clasping salute, while the main body said, "Also, you can also assume the combat profession of my avatar, whether it is a magician, a swordsman, or something else."

W thought for a moment and then decided on his target: "The big guy with the axe you fought before."

She herself felt that this kind of enemy with great strength and thick skin was the most difficult to deal with.

Xue Zhi was also ready. She quickly recalled Sit's strength, speed, and physical strength. At the same time, a large axe made of condensed water appeared in the hands of the incarnation. Several bottles of paint were poured into the axe blade by the main body to serve as a hit mark. "I'm ready. Come on."

Without hesitation, Xue Zhi finished speaking, and a grenade from W hit her. The avatar jumped backwards to avoid the exploding flames.

Light and agile, under the control of magic, the incarnation dodged first to give the main body a chance to familiarize itself with the operation. After dodging several grenades in succession, the incarnation turned from defense to offense.

The earth shattered, and the incarnation rushed forward with great momentum, the axe blade raised high, and a strong wind blew, but W was not in a hurry. He pointed the launcher down, and a grenade hit the ground in front of it. The dust it stirred up even blocked the body's vision.

"sharp."

Xue Zhi exclaimed in admiration and controlled her avatar to rush out of the smoke from the right side, but W had obviously taken advantage of the concealment of the smoke and occupied a favorable position faster than her.

The dagger stabbed out, and the incarnation blocked it with the axe handle. The giant axe, which was obviously made of water, appeared solid and the dagger could not advance an inch.

The attack failed, W put away the knife and threw a smoke bomb to hide his figure again. For the first time, Xue Zhi felt that this girl of his was a bit difficult to deal with.

Then the grenade passed through the smoke and hit the incarnation. The huge explosion made it stagger, but its strong physical fitness prevented it from being blown into pieces.

We can't just sit there and wait for death. Being at a disadvantage, the incarnation stood still and swung the giant axe at the same time. Now we need to disperse the smoke and dust!

Summer Eight Hacks!

The smoke and dust were dispersed by the giant axe, and the axe blade extended, simulating the high heat of energy weapons, and the entire ground was cut into pieces by sharp water.

"Tsk, it's difficult to deal with."

W, who had already jumped far away, smacked his lips. It was such a difficult task for him to fight against a character like Xue Zhi, who probably didn't even need a single hit. He had only hit her once so far.

Facing the incarnation approaching again, W retreated and fired grenades again to hinder its steps, while the arm guard on his wrist dropped small explosives from time to time.

The avatar that chose to take the attack head-on became blurred in the body, especially the legs, after rushing out of the flames of the explosion. It seemed that the continuous explosions weakened it, but it was only one step away from W.

No tactics needed, just charge forward!

The axe blade was raised, and a grenade followed. The avatar, intending to exchange injury for injury, raised his left hand to grab the grenade, and controlled the axe with his right hand to chop down towards W.

The moment the axe blade touched the water, it turned into splashes all over the sky. The paint hidden in the water stained W's sleeves, and the grenade blew off the incarnation's left hand and the entire forearm.

In an instant, both sides suffered losses.

Only a few minutes had passed, and this was a life-and-death fight, and Xue Zhi showed no mercy.

Taking a half step back, which meant losing one arm, W naturally dropped that hand. In an instant, he raised his intact palm and condensed a powerful explosive, throwing it at the incarnation whose leg was injured and whose speed dropped sharply.

Landing point, between the two of them!

W's tactics are so simple, it's either you die or I die!

The incarnation couldn't dodge, so it could only use its giant axe to smash W, who had pulled the robe behind him to block in front of himself and jumped backwards.

boom!

Smoke and dust rose, the incarnation had disappeared, and only a patch of wet ground showed that it had ever existed.

W is firmly protected by a layer of ice crystals.

Chapter 42: The Calm Before the Storm (1)

"It's really hard to deal with." The ice shield melted, and W put the cloak back in place and walked in front of Xue Zhi: "Are you sure you didn't secretly strengthen it?"

"Maybe. After all, I can't really simulate all his data completely. Some fluctuations are normal." Xue Zhi raised her hand to summon the earth element to repair the damaged ground. "But you can say you won this battle. I put the shield on you after my avatar was blown into water first."

"Didn't you lie to me?"

"There's no need to lie to you. In reality, he would have been killed in the explosion, and you would have been seriously injured."

Xue Zhi did not lie to W. After concentrating, his eyes could see clearly what happened in an instant.

"Is the best outcome a loss for both sides? That's fine, after all, the enemy is at the level of a centurion, and it's enough for me to replace him at the cost of being seriously injured."

"This is flat land. With your fighting style, you should be able to defeat him at a lower cost in places with complex terrain."

Combining W's combat characteristics, Xue Zhi summarized this battle.

W was thinking whether he should do more with Xue Zhi in order to continue to improve his own strength. Thinking of this, Xue Zhi, who was stared at by her burning eyes, was a little confused.

It's so early in the morning, this shouldn't happen.

Retracting his gaze, W suppressed his thoughts: "Go on, can you still imitate other people's fighting styles?"

"Yes, even if I can't completely simulate their tactics and methods, I can still give you practice by strengthening their various data."

Mechanics not enough? Then just stack the numbers up, there will always be such enemies.

W felt something was odd, but couldn't put his finger on it: "...Okay."
