Ark Journey

Under the influence of gravity, the chest wrapped in thin clothes swayed gently, appearing unusually soft.

However, when the arm touched Xue Zhi's body, it passed right through.

She touched it, and when she found that there was no solid sensation or warmth, her body and hands dropped down.

"Well, it's fake again."

After a dissatisfied grumble, Alina fell asleep again on the blanket.

Xue Zhi was speechless after being touched several times. He shouldn't have put Alina so close.

"..."

He used telekinesis to move her body and stuffed her back into the quilt.

You can't see anything with the clothes on, it's boring. Besides, the girl was malnourished when she was a child, so there's nothing to look at now.

"The Integration Movement was also in motion, so it was normal for it to be discovered at that time."

On the other side, Xue Zhi, who had already defeated the enemy, was cleaning up the battlefield to see if she could find any leftovers.

Two Ursus scimitars floated behind him, one intact and the other with only half of the blade left.

Back to where we came from, the soft light of the Tianyu Flower illuminated the dark forest. Around it, the pollution caused by the Inner Guards had been pushed back far away, and an unknown little bird was resting on it.

"It's actually useful for this kind of space pollution. It's worthy of being the Sky Flower that causes frame drops when used."

After driving the bird away, Xue Zhi collected the Tianyu Flower, but the pollution did not return, perhaps because the source had been lost.

Moreover, the pollution is slowly recovering. It should be that the product from the subspace is being rejected by the material world.

"Let's clean it up first, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone comes here and encounters it again."

All night long, Xue Zhi, who had not rested at all, only encountered one wave of enemies, namely the two inner guards. Until dawn, he did not see the second wave of enemies.

"You're slow to react."

After returning to the tent, Xue Zhi started eating the unfinished snacks.

Alina was still sleeping beside me, and looking at her relaxed brows I knew that last night's drunkenness had not had any impact on me.

"Well, I slept very comfortably."

At about ten o'clock, Alina, who had had enough sleep, woke up. She stretched and opened her eyes, but the military green ceiling made her confused.

"Where am I? This is not my tent."

Just when she was puzzled, Xue Zhi's voice came from the side.

"This is my tent. How much do you remember about last night?"

Alina turned her head and saw Xue Zhi reading a large book with a smile on his face.

"last night?"

She sat up, moved back unnoticeably, and held the quilt in front of her chest with her little hands.

A lot of memories began to emerge, including the fact that she specially cleaned herself before coming to find Xue Zhi with wine.

Thinking of this, Alina blushed, not knowing what she was thinking last night.

"I am drunk?"

"Yeah, and you were so aggressive that my clone was almost torn apart by you."

After Xue Zhi said this, Alina's face turned even redder. Of course, his clone would not disappear so easily. He just said that to see her blush.

Alina soon realized that Xue Zhi was lying to her. His clone usually ran around everywhere and nothing happened.

"You just know how to bully me..."

After complaining quietly, Alina, whose blush had not yet faded, saw the neatly folded clothes beside the mattress.

"Did you take off my clothes?"

"Yes, but I didn't use my hands."

Afraid that others might hear her, Alina whispered:

"What's the difference!"

"It's still a little bit. The touch from telekinesis is a bit distorted."

Faced with Xue Zhi's serious explanation, Alina was speechless.

"..."

Chapter 20: The Effect of Blood

Xue Zhi closed the magic manual in her hand and turned to Alina, who was deeply studying the secrets of magic.

"It's getting late now, Alina. Talking to me here is not the main thing. If you leave early, you can catch up with Tallulah who is waiting for you to practice swordplay at the training ground."

Alina also realized that she couldn't do this, and she waved at Xue Zhi with a red face.

"Then turn around and don't look at me."

Xue Zhi shrugged indifferently.

"alright."

After Xue Zhi turned her back to Alina, she sat on the mattress and put down the quilt. Her thighs and calves pressed against each other, outlining a slightly plump curve.

There was a rustling sound, and Alina stood up on the soft mattress as she put on the clothes that Xue Zhi had taken off one by one. Her pair of slightly bony white feet sank into the snow-white mattress.

She searched for a long time before she found her socks.

Thinking of Xue Zhi's gaze last night, Alina said to his back:

"You even took off my socks...Xue Zhi, I don't quite understand your preferences."

What's wrong with liking feet? The porridge guy was furious.

"No, don't falsely accuse me. I didn't take this off. Have you forgotten that you rubbed your socks off and kicked me last night? And even if I took them off, it doesn't prove that my preferences are weird. Take off more clothes and you can sleep better. Besides, liking feet is not an incomprehensible fetish."

Alina blushed and shook her head slightly.

"You are really direct, Xue Zhi."

“I never bothered to hide myself.”

After Alina got dressed, Xue Zhi took out her wine flask and two compressed biscuits. The wine flask was filled with strong Erguotou. They didn't like various types of liquor, they just liked the pure liquor after multiple distillations.

"Here's your wine flask. And some biscuits for breakfast."

After taking the wine jug, she noticed the weight was wrong.

"Is it full?"

"Well, welcome back next time."

Alina was silent for a moment, then responded softly.

"Ah."

"There's no one around now, you can go out."

Spending the night in a man's tent was exciting enough for Alina, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

However, Xue Zhi still missed something. There was indeed no one nearby, but Frost Star, who glanced over here from a distance, still saw Alina coming out of Xue Zhi's tent.

"Alina? Why did she come out of Xue Zhi's tent? Didn't I see her go in?"

At the training ground, Tallulah is already waiting here.

Alina, who had run back to pick up the sword, arrived late.

"Sorry, Tallulah, something made me late."

"Small things."

There is nothing unusual about the body, it is even in an exceptional condition.

After training the moves, Tallulah helped Alina with some strength-enhancing exercises.

Pressing Alina's ankles while she was doing sit-ups, Tallulah suddenly said:

"Alina, have you gained weight recently?"

"Have it?"

Tallulah poked Alina's belly gently with her finger.

"Xue Zhi has been secretly giving you extra food. I often see his feathered beast going out early and coming back late to catch all kinds of wild animals. Are they all in your stomach? Is he pursuing you?"

Alina retorted to her friend with a blushing face.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could a man like him like a country girl like me?"

Now that I think about it, Xue Zhi's original intention in treating her like this was to let her practice sword skills well so that she could kill him.

"Really? I don't think Xue Zhi has shown such thoughts. After all, Alina is so pretty and kind, isn't it normal for her to be tempted? Why don't you try to agree to him?"

"Well, stop talking."

Shortly after Alina left, Xue Zhi also walked out, his target was the shield guard camp.

When I walked over there, I saw the Patriots practicing shield guard.

The strong men as heavy as mountains doing uniform movements are very oppressive.

The patriot in coarse cloth saw Xue Zhi coming over and asked:

"Xue Zhi, how do you feel?"

Xue Zhi didn't know how to comment on this kind of military formation that he had never seen before, so he could only say it casually.

"good."

This time he didn't come to watch the shield guard training, so he put out two weapons.

"Know this, Patriot, there were two internal guards here yesterday."

The red light emanating from the Patriot's helmet instantly reached a level that Xue Zhi had never seen before.

The weapons of the inner guards are very recognizable, and even if one is damaged, it can be easily recognized.

Moreover, this kind of weapon is almost impossible to fake. The Ursus craftsmen tried for a long time before they found a material that could smoothly transmit demonic energy and had sufficient strength.

"You, defeated them? And took away their weapons?"

"To be precise, I killed them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get these two weapons so easily."

The patriots didn't understand that although their integration movement often opposed Ursus, the size of a few thousand people was only a small matter for the huge empire and was not worth mobilizing the internal guards, and two at a time, even if he was here.

"Why did the inner guard come here?"

"I have cleared away the remaining curse of the black snake. It is normal for him to react. As the evil god of Ursus, it is normal for him to mobilize a few inner guards."

This surprised the patriot even more than Xue Zhi killing the internal guards. After all, he could handle a few of them.

"...Your strength is beyond my comprehension. It reminds me of my teacher."

"Your teacher? The Scavenger King?"

Xue Zhi immediately thought of a race called Sarkaz that was related to the man-eating Wendigo, whose leader had lived for a very long time.

"you know?"

"I guessed. After all, you all, well, you know, and he's also an old guy who has lived for a thousand years. It's normal for him to have taught you."

"You can just make it clear that I don't care about this."

Xue Zhi smiled awkwardly, then he took out a red bead.

"I came to you this time to talk about something else. I speculate that the reason why the Integration Movement can exist until now is partly due to the tacit approval of Black Snake. After I remove his legacy, the situation will be very troublesome in the future, so I need your strength, Patriot.

Your Originium skills are rather evil, but your moral standards make up for it, so I plan to give this to you. With the addition of the Ore Disease that has no major effect on you, you should be able to exert all your strength, even stronger than when you were young."

The Patriot's mineralogy has improved a lot, and after practicing for several days, he can speak fluently.

This bead is called the Weak Qi and Blood Bead. Xue Zhi also carries an excellent one on her body. In the blood magic module, the bead stores the source of life, that is, blood. The best bead determines the storage limit. Currently, there are more than 700 million LPs in it.

These two items cost Xue Zhi 20 points.
