Ark Journey

Chapter 21: The First Counterattack

Although I don't know the principle behind Wendigo's Originium technique, it should be related to absorbing vitality.

"What is this?"

"You can simply think of it as a blood bag used in hospitals. Some blood demons with mysophobia or higher moral standards will use this."

"It leaked from Kazdel? There's a hospital there? And the blood demons have mysophobia and morality? Don't they suck everything?"

Xue Zhi almost lost her composure after hearing two consecutive Kazdel jokes.

"It's not from Kazdel, it's my personal property. And can you have some confidence in your hometown and your people, patriot?"

The patriots, on the other hand, laughed out loud, which was rare.

"It's not that I don't have faith in my hometown and my people, it's just that things have never been good for thousands of years."

"It will be fine."

Looking at the orb that Xue Zhi took out, the patriot as a soldier couldn't resist the temptation to return to his peak. After his oripathy was almost cured, he felt younger again at only over 200 years old.

"How do I use this?"

"I don't know either. Should I try to use the Originium technique on it?"

"...You don't know how to use it either?"

"Indeed, I just wanted to give it a try."

The Patriot thought of Xue Zhi repairing his equipment, so he nodded and decided to trust him.

"Row."

He took the small red bead and released the Originium technique on it.

Spots of red air immediately spread out from the orb. Xue Zhi, who had witnessed the man-eating skills of the Wendigo, found that this airflow was much thicker than before.

[As expected of a pure-blooded Wendigo, and it looks quite useful. How much does it cost? ]

Xue Zhi took out a divination mark to check the amount of life essence in the soul network. Fortunately, the changing numbers were all in single-digit levels.

These seven million life essences should be enough for a long time.

After absorbing the red air currents into his body, the Patriot heaved a sigh of relief. Just using a little bit of it was enough to equal the effect that his fellow tribesmen who died in the battle against the evil spirits could provide.

And the most important point is that there are no fragmented thoughts coming along with these energies.

"What on earth is this? It's not ordinary blood. The energy contained in it is very high and pure."

“I don’t know the details.”

Maybe Steve's blood is special. After all, he is a man who can break everything with just his hands.

"But just use it. I can guarantee that the blood here is clean and donated voluntarily."

There is nothing here except the player's blood. After all, Xue Zhi is too lazy to use other animals to bleed. Relying on the powerful productivity after the development of industrial modules, he can make a lot of blood-restoring potions to support the process of self-blood donation.

"Are you a traitor or spy of Yan Country? I really can't imagine how such a thing can be taken out from a single person."

Xue Zhi said righteously:

"I only serve my own heart. None of the Terran nations deserve this. Although you may think of me as a Yan countryman, my connection with that country is not as deep as you think, patriot."

The Patriot discovered that when Xue Zhi said this, he revealed a kind of arrogance that he had never seen in anyone else, even the Ursus nobles he had met before.

"I now suspect that you are a member of the Yan Kingdom's royal family, or the kind of royal family that failed in their fight for the throne and had to go into exile elsewhere in order to raise an army."

"Did Froststar ever tell you that you have a strong ability to associate?"

"How could my good daughter think of her father like this."

Now Xue Zhi suddenly missed the patriot who spoke incoherently.

This old guy seems a little eccentric.

After much hesitation, the patriot finally accepted the gem.

"I'll take this with me."

He didn't want the tragedy that happened to his family to happen again. Strength was necessary, and there was no moral constraint on its use.

"Ah."

Xue Zhi nodded and then left the shield guard camp.

All members of the Yeti team are magicians. Xue Zhi currently has some interesting ideas for them, but she needs to learn something and understand the principles before she can try them.

However, not long after he exchanged the book in the tent and came out to read, Tallulah's order came down.

Xue Zhi closed the book and began to dismantle the tent, muttering to herself:

"Prepare to evacuate? Are there enemies approaching?"

Several scouts saw several Ursus troops rushing towards the Integration Movement's base from several directions, with each group of enemies having about 500 people.

Froststar appeared outside the tent.

"Xue Zhi, get ready to go. We need to go out and stop them to buy time for the main force to evacuate."

"no problem."

As if they were already familiar with this kind of displaced life, none of the infected people from the Integration Movement complained. They were all quietly packing their luggage and various things in preparation for leaving.

Just as Xue Zhi was waiting to leave the base, Alina, with a sword on her back, suddenly walked up to him.

"Xue Zhi, you don't have this yet."

In her hand she held a piece of red cloth embroidered with the logo of the Integration Movement.

Xue Zhi has a certain resistance to wearing such things.

"Do you have to wear this?"

"You're already a member of the Reunion. Everyone is."

"alright."

Xue Zhi was about to take it, but Alina shook her head and helped him tie the red cloth to his left arm.

"Yes, my skills have not deteriorated."

Just when Alina wanted to say a few more words to Xue Zhi, the ready Snow Monster Team was about to set out.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"be careful."

"Don't worry about my safety. Nothing can hurt me. It's you, Alina. You must protect yourself when you encounter danger."

"Well, I'll drink with you when I get back."

Several combat teams are heading in the direction of the enemy's attack. It will be a fierce battle.

On the road, Xue Zhi was still talking strangely while running wildly.

"The enemy has about a battalion, and we only have one company, 500 to 100. Is the advantage on my side?"

Frost Star, who had witnessed his powerful strength, said:

"Having you is definitely an advantage for us."

Since this siege was most likely caused by him, Xue Zhi didn't say anything, but just mentioned something else.

"I have prepared something for you that can enhance your combat effectiveness, but it is still in the experimental stage. Do you dare to try it?"

"Why should we be afraid? Our lives are not that precious. We used to fight for food."

"Okay, I like this."

The extreme environment and the suffering of mineralogy have cultivated a group of people as cold and hard as ice.

On a plain at the edge of a forest, you can see the enemy snow monsters have stopped.

Chapter 22: Practical Applications of Phased Array Technology

Looking at the Ursus troops appearing at the end of the horizon, Xue Zhi walked out of the team and came to the front.

The wind blew across the snowy field, and the Integrated Movement symbol on his left arm danced in the wind like a dancing flame.

According to the number of people in the Yeti team, he exchanged for an iron staff with a wooden staff of equal value. This is the cheapest staff in the Mystic Age module. It only requires a wooden stick and ten iron nuggets to synthesize, and the selling price is only 5 points.

"Everyone, take these and relax and do as I say."

The staff floated in front of everyone, and the snow monsters reached out to catch it.

Ice flowers bloom on the snow on the plain, and their distribution seems to follow a certain pattern.

Xue Zhi, who was flipping through a book, said:

"Everyone find a flower and stand there, making sure the flowers are under your feet. Froststar, stand behind me."

The snow monsters did as they were told, and their eldest sister had no objection, so they would not get hot on their own.

Shuang Xing, who was standing behind Xue Zhi, glanced forward and found that the book was written in the Yan language, which she could not understand.

[Yan Nation's spell book? ]

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and they noticed the strange movements of the Yeti and had already started charging, but they still had some distance to prepare.

"Release the Originium Technique and keep the output low."

A few snow monsters who didn't understand asked in a low voice:

"What do you mean by low output?"

"Just use the Originium Technique gently."

"Oh."

The snow monsters released their Originium skills, and for a moment, cold energy and ice crystals surrounded the formation.

Xue Zhi let go of the book with the words "Phase-controlled Array Radar Technology" on the cover and let it float in front of her and said,

"Froststar, and everyone else, remember the feeling that follows. I will guide you in unleashing large-scale Originium techniques."

The principle of phased array equipment is that waves can interfere with each other. As long as the waves are released in a certain arrangement, the intensity of the waves, that is, the signal strength, can be enhanced at one position. This arrangement is called a phased array.

According to Xue Zhi's knowledge, all real matter has the dual nature of wave and particle, and the energy field that produces Originium skills is no exception, so he plans to try to see if he can use phased array to strengthen the energy field that changes when the magician casts spells.

The purpose of giving them staffs is to keep the released Originium skills as similar as possible to facilitate the interference of energy fields.

Just as Shuangxing was wondering what Xue Zhi would do, a vast and profound spirit suddenly broke into her perception, and everyone in the Snow Monster Team also sensed this spirit.

For a time, the Originium skills they maintained were no longer under their control, and began to change under the intervention of that spirit.

The strength of the Originium skills released by the snow monsters varies. The first thing Xue Zhi needs to do is to raise the strength to the same level.

"Don't panic, stay calm."

As the intensity became unified, the cold air surrounding the army formation first became biting, and the soft snow underfoot turned into solid ice. Then all the cold energy was gathered together, and the surroundings became warmer instead.

Xue Zhi thought to herself as she sensed the energy field which was infinitely stronger than before.

【It seems to have succeeded. 】

And right above the entire military formation, Xue Zhi directed the energy to gather there, and ice crystals almost as big as normal people began to appear.

"Is this an Originium technique we can use?"

"Yes, by gathering all the strength together, we can achieve this level. Froststar, remember the process of guiding the energy. This will be your future mission."

"clear."

With a sound of breaking through the air, the huge ice crystal was given kinetic energy and flew towards the enemy in the distance.

A distance of a thousand meters passed in the blink of an eye. Ice crystals of this size smashed into the crowd like missiles, and then immediately shattered and scattered. All defenses were penetrated as if made of paper. The splashing white snow covered an area of several meters in radius. Several ice crystals fell to the ground in succession and actually blocked the entire charging line for a while.

After the snowflakes fell, red blood began to flow on the pure white snowfield.

The ice crystals above his head changed shape, from a single huge ice crystal to countless tiny ice particles.

Afterwards, the fierce and torrential attack made the Ursus troops almost unable to resist. The tiny ice particles had a corrosive force that was inconsistent with their size. Every step forward cost dozens of casualties.

"Where are the mortars! Attack!"

The mortar gunners in the rear immediately began to organize the firing parameters.
