Ark Journey

After possessing the white rabbit to check on its condition, Xue Zhi, who had just been teleported from a very far distance twice, breathed a sigh of relief: "It is you, Shuangxing. Fortunately, I am not too late."

Ever since he turned into a ball and then changed back again, Xue Zhi felt that his control over various energies had become much stronger. Before, he could control them as easily as with his own arms, but now it has become as instinctive as breathing. Just now, he took over the ice crystal at the limit of visual range.

Chapter 2: Patriots

Xue Zhi lifted up Frost Star's trembling body, took out a tube of purifying water and was about to pour it into her mouth.

[It's really cool, and a little heavy, what kind of ice-type fat house beauty. 】

The Frost Star that was lifted up by him felt the warmth and subconsciously moved closer to his body.

The crowd noticed the sudden appearance of the person, and the inexplicable action of injecting medicine made everyone feel threatened.

"Who are you? Let me go!"

Some people even shot arrows at the strange man, but the arrows were fixed in the air when they got within a certain distance.

Xue Zhi said without even looking up: "Snow Monster Team? I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. Also, Alpha, stop it."

The sound of an object rubbing against the air at high speed appeared and then disappeared. A few people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge feathered beast in the sky changing from a diving state to a slow descent, and its diving target was the person who had just shot the arrow.

After a brief hovering, Alpha successfully landed next to Xue Zhi, but its sharp eyes were still fixed on the person who had just shot the arrow. The power of the low temperature was revealed at this moment, and its rune shield was instantly activated, with a light golden protective layer covering its entire body.

The purifying water had been drunk, and Xue Zhi touched Frost Star's pale lips. The temperature and some cold energy were enough to frostbite ordinary people in an instant.

It was visibly that Frost Star's condition had stabilized, his body was no longer shaking, his temperature had risen a little, and his frown had relaxed.

"The effect is good. If I drink a few more bottles, my body temperature will probably be the same as a normal person's."

Xue Zhi stood up and picked up the still unconscious Frost Star in his arms. There was still a faint light on his hands. Alpha flapped his wings and stood on his shoulders.

The ground is still a little cold, which is not good for patients.

The feeling of Frost Star's body was not very good. It was obviously very heavy, but there was not much flesh. It felt very bony. The white hair that was hanging down and rubbing against Xue Zhi's wrist was also a little dry. These were all caused by malnutrition.

Not far away, ice crystals that killed all the enemies fell from the sky and surrounded him. The blood-red ice crystals looked particularly intimidating.

"Hello, Snow Monster Team, my name is Xue Zhi."

Xue Zhi greeted them politely and cast a small-range but extremely powerful healing spell, which affected all the living creatures belonging to the Yeti team.

Not far away, several people in white cloaks that were almost stained with blood suddenly stood up, and at the same time, several white hunting dogs also stood up. This inexplicable phenomenon attracted the attention of many people.

"Anton!?"

"Sokka! Big Daddy and Big Sister bless me! I'm still alive?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Holding Frost Star, Xue Zhi finished casting magic and said to everyone around her with a smile:

"This is a greeting gift, hiss, fellow snow monsters."

While talking, Xue Zhi took a breath of cold air. Shuang Xing's hand subconsciously reached into the collar of his clothes and was still groping inside. The cold little claws made him shiver, and a pair of cold long ears pressed against his neck.

It was a bit strange to talk to the snow monsters like this. Fortunately, Xue Zhi still had a third hand to take Frost Star's hand out, but this action made Frost Star in his arms frown.

The feeling of wounds healing could not be faked, and even the companions who had just fallen down and were almost dead stood up again, but they could hardly believe it. After all, even Mephisto, the best medical magician in the Reunion Movement, could not do it.

"Big sister seems to be in good condition?"

"This is not okay anymore, the hand is almost reaching into that person's clothes!"

After noticing that Frost Star in his arms looked noticeably better, the snow monsters spoke in a much better tone this time, and several of the large crossbows that were set up were lowered.

After all, looking at the ice crystals surrounding Xue Zhi at this moment, everyone understood that it was he who saved all of them just now.

"Who are you?"

Xue Zhi dispersed the ice crystals and the telekinesis that controlled the arrows and said, "I came from Kazdel. I heard that there were also infected people fighting in Ursus, so I decided to join you."

Several snow monsters who were on good terms with the Sarkaz members of the Reunion Movement began to observe Xue Zhi, trying to identify his racial characteristics: "You're from Kazdel, are you a Sarkaz?"

Xue Zhi shook her head: "Not really, but this doesn't affect my coming to help you."

Just when they were about to ask something else, Xue Zhi suddenly looked not far away, and this action made many people look over there.

In the dim snowstorm, a heavy figure as big as a hill walked slowly towards them, with two red lights looming. Behind him was a shield guard troop that looked like black waves.

The armor had been in disrepair for many years and was damaged in many places. The blade of the once sharp halberd was corroded and rusted.

When he approached, the Snow Monster Team automatically made way for him and shouted respectfully and cordially:

"Big Daddy!"

Looking at the enemy corpses all over the ground, the Patriot became extremely hoarse, and a sound like metal friction rang out. The infection of Originium has caused this powerful warrior to lose too much.

"Well done."

Then he noticed Xue Zhi who was holding Frost Star in the crowd.

[It seems that there shouldn't be someone who can touch Yelena like this without getting frostbitten. Who is he? ]

"Who are you?"

When asked, Xue Zhi bowed slightly to show respect to this warrior who was fighting against fate.

“Greetings to you, patriot.”

Then he straightened up.

"Xue Zhi, from Kazdel, came here to help the infected."

The Patriot was silent for a moment, and the red light from under his antler helmet grew brighter.

"You are not a Sarkaz."

Xue Zhi was holding Frost Star and drinking Patriot while they were talking, which made him feel a little weird.

"Being from Kazdel doesn't mean it must be Sarkaz. The existence of the Tower of Babel is not a secret."

Frost Star, who was hugged by Xue Zhi, moved. Under the stimulation of her low body temperature, the temperature naturally emitted from Xue Zhi's body made her feel very comfortable.

The patriot gave orders to the others first, and then continued to ask Xue Zhi:

"The rest of you, clean up the battlefield. Are you a member of the Tower of Babel?"

Xue Zhi waved her hand: "Just a grassroots staff."

A badge obtained from W floated towards the Patriot. Anyway, the Hedley Mercenaries were also considered an organization on the side of Babel Tower, so it was completely fine for him to say so.

A snow monster interrupted at this moment: "Big Dad, he is not a grassroots staff, his Originium skills are stronger than Big Sister's! The healing spell can even make a seriously injured person stand up directly!"

Xue Zhi explained: "There is no necessary connection between the two. Being powerful does not mean having a high status."

The patriot understood that despite his great military achievements, his military rank was only captain.

The wisdom gained from living for more than two hundred years allowed him to at least see that Xue Zhi had no ill intentions, and that Frost Star in Xue Zhi's arms was very calm, and even her hand was a little too presumptuous.

Chapter 3: The First Night with Them

Although he felt uncomfortable with a strange man holding his daughter, it was not unacceptable as he would not live long.

"You, got treated, Froststar?"

"Correct."

"Ore sickness, countermeasures, any progress?"

"There are some."

It was somewhat difficult to communicate with the Patriot. His vocal organs were almost completely eroded by the Originium. His voice was not only intermittent but also very hoarse. It was difficult to hear him clearly in this howling wind.

Just when Xue Zhi was about to give him a tube of purifying water, he stopped asking.

The Yeti Squad had already cleaned up the battlefield and gathered around the two of them.

"First, retreat. Protect Froststar."

So Xue Zhi could only follow them with Frost Star in her arms. Along the way, the shield guard remained silent, but the younger snow monster team was very curious about him.

A snow monster who looked young, maybe even underage, walked beside Xue Zhi and asked, "Aren't you cold holding Big Sister? Only Big Daddy among us can touch Big Sister when she's sick."

Xue Zhi smiled, and at the same time, a crystal clear hexagonal snowflake condensed in front of her: "Not bad, my Originium skill is also ice, which is more resistant to low temperatures."

But he also sighed in his heart. After all, it was not a happy thing to see such young children going to the battlefield.

"The drink you gave my elder sister before was the medicine for treating mineral sickness?"

"Yes, would you like a tube?"

As she spoke, many test tubes filled with purified water appeared in front of Xue Zhi, and then slowly floated into the hands of everyone in the team, except the Patriot, because Xue Zhi had prepared a special style for him.

"The latest inhibitor of mineral sickness is quite effective, but the Originium on the body surface will fall off directly. You can try it later when you are calm."

The marching team was surprised by Xue Zhi's move. She took out the extremely precious mineral disease inhibitor as soon as she said it would, and the other Originium skill she mastered also showed strong control.

Many people stared at the light golden liquid on their hands, wondering what they were thinking.

"Is this...really an oripathy inhibitor?"

What happened today seemed a little unreal. A strong man came down from the sky and rescued them from a situation with heavy casualties. He also got drugs to suppress mineralogy. It seemed so good that it was unreal.

"Won't lie to you, kid."

Although he said this, few people seemed to believe it immediately. Fortunately, Xue Zhi was no longer surprised by this situation.

Soon, it got dark. The days are exceptionally short in autumn and winter, and this situation is more serious in areas with high latitudes.

The howling wind became even more fierce, and the blowing snowflakes and the gloomy sky reduced visibility to almost zero.

In front of a cliff that could withstand the wind and snow, the patriot gave the order.

"Set up camp."

Then the whole army started to move, and Xue Zhi came to the Patriot holding Frost Star.

The snow-white eyelashes blinked, and Frost Star, who had been sleeping all the way, finally opened her eyes. What came into her sight was Xue Zhi's sunny and handsome face and the endless warmth she felt.

Although her true form is a cold black-gold sun, Xue Zhi's human form is still quite good looking.

Noticing her movements, Xue Zhi lowered her head and said, "Hey, hello, White Rabbit."

Frost Star, who was still a little confused, asked:

"who are you?"

"Xue Zhi."

"where am I?"

"I don't know the details, but for now the patriots have found a place to camp."

After hearing the Patriot's name, Frost Star became much more sober and she realized that she was being held by a strange man.

Shuangxing, who had never had such close contact with a member of the opposite sex of the same age, blushed instantly.

But Xue Zhi is actually 26 years old, much older than Shuang Xing, she just looks younger.

"Put me down first."

"Ah."

After putting down the blushing Frost Star, Xue Zhi sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up into the Patriot's eyes.

"I think you might have something else to ask me."

Even sitting on the ground, the Patriot, more than three meters tall, is still very tall.

"Yes."

Just as the patriot was about to ask a question, Xue Zhi spoke first.

"But before you ask, I have to treat your mineralogy first, otherwise communication will be too difficult."

After saying that, Xue Zhi took out a bottle of purifying water of exceptionally bright color. Considering the Patriot's strong physique, this was a three-times concentrated version. At the same time, in his other hand appeared a level 4, eight-minute recovery potion from the magic brewing module.

As Xue Zhi's voice rang out again, two potions slowly floated towards the Patriot.

"I believe that Froststar's current condition has proven that the medicine I gave you is effective. This one is six times more effective than the one Froststar drank. It should be able to suppress your mineral sickness. Use it with the other one to avoid accidents caused by the medicine being too strong."

"..."

The patriot had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he also knew that it was really difficult to communicate with others in his current situation.
