Ark Journey

They looked in the direction they came from, and even though they were quite far away, they could still see that the sky over there had become chaotic, with flashes of fire and huge lightning flashing through the dirty clouds from time to time.

Xue Zhi frowned and thought about the possible reasons, but his shallow knowledge could not explain what he was about to see.

"Meteorite disaster. I really don't know how this thing can be formed in the atmosphere."

Provence asked in confusion:

"Hmm? What is the atmosphere?"

"Astronomy may be the secret of this world. Do you want to learn it?"

When Provence learned that Xue Zhi had killed the legendary creature, he felt that the man he met in the wilderness had become mysterious, and now he was a little more in awe of him.

As a messenger of natural disasters, Provence knew some of the horrors hidden in this world, but he didn't dare to delve into what he had said.

"Forget it."

After waiting here for about ten minutes, the great power brewing in the sky descended.

In the dark red clouds, huge meteorites gathered from the sky and fell to the ground under the pull of gravity. The light produced by the friction with the air was clearly visible from their position, and the entire sky was even lit up by this terrifying force.

Huge rocks with flames fell to the ground slowly, and a mushroom cloud rose from the sky, even blowing away a lot of the turbid clouds. Violent vibrations instantly spread along the earth, and behind it, shock waves rolled in with thick smoke and dust.

An air barrier appeared not far from them to block the smoke and dust that might be approaching.

Provence was shaken to the point of staggering, and in the end Xue Zhi pulled up a pillar of earth from thin air for her to hold on to, so that she didn't fall down.

The earth element seeped into the ground, and Xue Zhi directly stabilized their settlement.

"You are still a magician?"

"I can use both hands."

Just as Provence was speaking, a belated loud noise covered up the sound.

Xue Zhi created a vacuum around Alpha to prevent it from being hurt by the huge noise. Fortunately, it was quite well behaved and had huddled in his arms since the earthquake just now, otherwise it would have been difficult to protect it.

Meteorites continued to fall from the sky and the earth was shaking continuously, but in a corner where no one was paying attention, the falling speed of a meteorite inexplicably slowed down.

[It's not that difficult. At this distance, I can also slow down its falling speed.]

Bits of magic power dissipated from Xue Zhi's body. Using magic at a long distance would consume a lot more magic power, but fortunately he had never felt that he did not have enough magic power.

The natural disaster was still going on. A huge fire had already started on the ground. From a long distance away, one could see the flames trying to lick the sky. The Originium crystal clusters also began to grow rapidly where the meteorite had hit, and soon grew to an extremely high height.

The sharp-eyed Xue Zhi even discovered that the gravity field at that location had changed, and a lot of gravel and soil were floating in the air.

"Natural disasters are really complicated. When I was dealing with Pompeii before, I encountered Originium snowflakes that formed instantly. It only took a moment for extreme heat to turn into extreme cold."

The older Scourge Messenger agreed.

"Yeah, I've been studying natural disasters for a long time, but I haven't figured out anything essential."

The disaster did not last long, and after making sure the entire process was recorded, the two disaster messengers prepared to leave.

Provence scratched his hair and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Xue Zhi, I have to go back to write a report, so I can't continue to take you north."

"It's okay. This place is very close to my destination."

The older courier took down a badge on the car.

"I heard from Provence that you are very interested in the knowledge of the Scourge Messenger, but we may not have much chance to meet again in the future. This is for you as a proof and reward for your help in this disaster. It can be used in the Scourge Messenger Agency of any country. Whether it is knowledge or hiring messengers, it can bring great benefits."

Xue Zhi's eyes lit up when she heard her explanation of this little thing.

"This is a good thing, thank you, senior."

"you deserved."

After putting away the badge, Xue Zhi thought for a moment and said to the two people:

"I wonder if you two can accept my commission now?"

The older courier who was about to leave turned around and nodded, while setting up the camera again.

"Okay, this is our job. What is the commission?"

"Go to the south of Kazdel. There is a rising settlement there. Their leader is my friend. He is currently suffering from a lack of means to predict natural disasters. I would like to entrust you to help them establish a system for predicting natural disasters and teach them relevant knowledge."

"Kazdel... the danger over there is not low. Although the Messenger of the Scourge is respected and feared by most people, there are still many lunatics in this land who don't care about their relatives. However, if the reward is enough, there are still people willing to go there."

Hearing that the problem could be solved with money, Xue Zhi directly took out a suitcase of gold from her personal storage.

"I'll give you the commission based on the level of the crisis contract. Is that enough?"

After estimating the value of the red gold in the box, the older messenger said:

"Then I guess it will be fine."

Le, money makes the world go round~

Provence, who was standing by, planned to take on the commission and try his best to help Xue Zhi's friends as a reward for him.

"Xue Zhi, I will also accept this commission. Do you have anything to bring to your friend?"

"Yes, wait a moment."

A weapon glowing with a faint blue light and an envelope were handed to Provence.

"This sword is a token of your love. When you find a man named Hedley, tell him my name and show it to him. He will understand what you mean. The letter is for a girl named W."

The letter described what Xue Zhi had seen and heard over the past few days.

"I will definitely take care of it."

After adding some final details of the commission, the Scourge messengers left.

Chapter 13: Reaching the northernmost country of Terra, Ursus!

After bidding farewell to the two Scourge Messengers, Xue Zhi continued to move north with Alpha. He first went to the area where the Scourge was to strike to dig up a lot of Originium and replenished his points to 500 million.

He will go find the Integration Movement next and get more points to facilitate supporting them. This organization could grow so big in the original plot, probably because of the reduction of their encirclement after Black Snake took over their bodies. Now Xue Zhi is ready to go and kill Black Snake, and their development will probably become much more difficult.

Walking out of the dead silence and the only sound of the disaster was the rolling heat waves. Xue Zhi, who had washed herself with water several times, reached out her hand and took help from Alpha who had fallen from the sky.

"Cuckoo."

"I know you're hungry. Have I spoiled you? You used to be able to catch snakes and eat them yourself."

After it stood upright on her shoulder, Xue Zhi fed it a few mice, and then the man and the bird set off.

The further north Xue Zhi went, the lower the temperature became and the sparser the vegetation in the wilderness became. During this time, he also saw from afar a fleet of several land ships heading towards the area where the natural disaster occurred. The hulls of the land ships were engraved with the Ursus double-headed eagle logo.

This made Xue Zhi certain that the direction she was heading was correct.

One morning, beside the fire, Xue Zhi asked Alpha who was warming himself by the fire:

"Although your fur is quite thick, can you survive in a low-temperature environment?"

It responded by tilting its head and barking.

"Goo?"

"Forget it, you can't speak, come here, I'll give you something good."

Xue Zhi thought about it and changed into a set of rune equipment. She put the two rings on its foot as foot rings, hid the amulet under the feathers, and replaced the belt that was used to tie the camera with the belt.

"That should be fine."

Seeing Alpha flapping his wings completely unaffected, the team was prepared for the low temperatures.

"Done, keep going."

After walking for a few more days, the snow began to fall from the sky and we estimated that we had entered the border of Ursus.

Standing on a hill, looking at the wilderness of white and brown mixed together on all sides, Xue Zhi muttered in a low voice:

"Which way should I go? Continue north, or veer off a little?"

At this moment, the Pad vibrated, and Alpha suddenly made a discovery.

Looking at the image and position displayed on the Pad, Xue Zhi muttered to herself as she flashed:

"Someone? Then go ask them first. If that doesn't work, go to the mobile city first, and then go north one city at a time. There will always be intelligence on the Reunion that we can get."

Soon, Xue Zhi found the group of people, but they didn't seem to be good people.

When they flashed over here, they were also driving towards this side. They met halfway, and then Xue Zhi saw their car speeding towards her.

Judging their plans, Xue Zhi raised her hand to catch Alpha and cursed in a low voice:

"'Dongda Foul Mouth', has your previous luck run out? Can't I meet some normal people?"

Because she wanted to obtain information, Xue Zhi did not kill the speeding jeeps directly. Instead, she used her telekinesis to lift up several cars when they approached.

"Sokka!"

A Russian curse came from inside the car, and then several burly men with bear ears jumped out of the car. One of them had an Originium crystal in his hand.

"Infected? There are still infected people in Ursus who have not been sent to the mines."

Xue Zhi sighed as the people on the other side started shooting at him with crossbows.

Without any unnecessary movements, Xue Zhi flashed in front of those people, lifted them up, disarmed them and put their weapons into the warehouse.

"No, so tough? I can lift up your cars running at full speed. Who gives you the courage to attack someone as powerful as me?"

This sentence was in Ursus. When he was communicating with Provence before, he found that he could use other languages of this land fluently.

The curses continued to be heard, and one of the men's muscles continued to expand, trying to break free from the invisible force, but unfortunately it was useless.

Xue Zhi let them struggle and said calmly: "Answer me a few questions and I will let you go."

"You greyhound of the government! Don't even think about making us surrender!"

His color-changing leather armor is indeed darker now.

Xue Zhi has good patience, but that doesn't mean she can always endure it, especially when facing someone who wants to hit her with his car.

"How can I be a member of the government if I'm not even an Ursus? That's ridiculous!"

As soon as the words fell, several people suddenly let out wails like pigs being slaughtered, and Xue Zhi directly crushed some of their bones.

"Ah!!! Boss!!! Help!!!"

Now the insults in my ears turned into screams.

Xue Zhi observed everyone's reactions and quickly pulled the boss in front of her.

"Answer my question. I'll only give you 30 seconds."

The man did not react immediately, so Xue Zhi crushed some more of his bones. Within a few seconds, the screams of his men finally made him give up struggling.

"I say! Let them go!"

Hearing his surrender, Xue Zhi smiled.

"Is that right? Tell me the location of the nearest mobile city."

"To the north, there is a city about 200 kilometers due north that we have just arrived at. It will not move for a long time."

"True north?"

During the interrogation, Xue Zhi crushed another person's bones, and the screams that had briefly stopped rang out again.

He might as well go all out. Anyway, he has no psychological burden.

"Sokka! I didn't lie to you!"

Xue Zhi's smile became even brighter. It felt really good to be free of morals. When she put them down, a small dark green thing suddenly fell from the person in front of her.

"I hope so. Oh, do you have any Pure Originium on you? Give it to me as well. It will be used as your medical expenses."

"you can not..."

"Shut up!"

The sound mixed with mental power instantly turned these strong men into quails with their necks shrunken.

Before leaving, Xue Zhi activated the healing core to heal those people's injuries, and there were inevitably a lot of ghost cries and wolves howling in the process.

"Boss, he's quite nice."

"Suka BuLei!"
