Ark Journey

Add a clean wooden board for feet, a towel, a set of clean clothes and various cleaning supplies to make W enjoy an excellent bathing experience in the wild.

Oh, and there’s also a bathrobe, because W said the clothes Xue Zhi took out didn’t have a hole for the tail, and she needed a piece of clothing to wear first.

At this moment, she was taking a bath in the inner room and humming an unknown Sarkaz tune.

Although W looked at him a little strangely when Xue Zhi took out women's clothes according to her measurements, it didn't matter.

Xue Zhi was very impressed with her own genius idea of making hot water, and was now trying to mix more elements, or use multiple cores at the same time to release magic.

Chapter 13: Discussion on the Tail Problem

After studying it for a while, he found several very useful mixing methods.

Ice mixed with soil can form permafrost which is harder than the other two, fire mixed with soil can form lava with a temperature of thousands of degrees, wind mixed with soil can form sandstorms that block vision, and the rest are of little use.

In addition, he also discovered that the elements of order and chaos, which he had no idea of their use before, could now be inserted into it.

The element of order can allow the elements to mix automatically and evenly to create a nearly perfect structure. For example, the mixture of ice, soil, and order is harder than the frozen soil he directly fused.

As a graduated materials research student, Xue Zhi said that if she had this ability before, the article would have been published in a flash.

The element of chaos can increase the power of magic. When trying to mix the element of chaos with the element of fire, the fire element that was originally very obedient in his hand showed an extremely unstable state, shaking continuously as if it was hit by the wind. Although it was still under control, Xue Zhi could be sure that once the fireball in his hand was thrown out, the explosion would definitely be more powerful than the same amount of pure fire.

The most dangerous thing is to use water and electricity at the same time. When Xue Zhi carefully put them together, the water was electrolyzed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time the air in the cave became a lot fresher.

Realizing what was happening, Xue Zhi immediately stopped the experiment. She dug out a piece of the stone blocking the door and summoned a gust of wind to expel the dangerous hydrogen outside.

W, who was bathing inside, heard the noise outside and asked, "What happened?"

Xue Zhi replied casually: "There was a problem when testing the Originium technique. It's a small matter, don't worry about it."

W's seductive voice sounded: "Oh, so you really don't want to come in and take a look? I am very confident in my body, and no one has ever touched me. Those who wanted to attack me before have been killed by me."

Xue Zhi, who was cleaning up the residue from the experiment, stopped and suddenly some round, white and large things appeared in his mind. It was impossible for him to say that he didn't want to see them. He was not a eunuch, but he was from Lu Province.

So the invisible hand of Confucius, something called etiquette, restrained him from behind, so that he could only say helplessly: "Be serious, W, what good girl would say such things to a man she had known for less than two days. But are there still people with horny minds in this land?"

Then a confident voice came from inside: "First, I am not a serious person. Mercenaries are like this. They don't live long. If you meet someone you like, you have to act quickly. You don't know that Hedley and Ines, the cheesy couple in our group, are luckily not my parents, otherwise it would be bad. Second, how can you think there are no horny people in this land? Are all the people in the place where you live saints like Her Highness Theresa?"

"..."

It was a little difficult to deal with Xue Zhi who spoke so bluntly for the first time, but he was also stupid. How could he compare what was shown in the game with reality? Sure enough, the greater the mass, the greater the gravity, so great that it could suck away his IQ.

So he could only sigh and increase the power of the hot water output: "W, do you remember what I told you yesterday?"

In the inner room, W was washing the foam on his head while thinking about Xue Zhi's words: "Thank you, I was just washing my hair. What did you say yesterday? Oh, I remembered..."

【Extending the Originium Technique...】

Xue Zhi's voice appeared in his mind along with the sound of rain, and then W's face suddenly turned red, and his hands subconsciously protected his chest.

Hearing the sound coming from inside suddenly stop, Xue Zhi also closed her eyes.

A drop of water emerged from mid-air. Under the influence of gravity, it hit the almost pure white skin, then crossed the mountains, climbed through the deep valley with fragrant grass, and finally shattered on the pair of small feet that were a little rough due to constant walking but still well-proportioned and beautiful.

"It's good that you remember it. After all, it's much clearer and more detailed than what you see with your eyes. Yes, it's more detailed than you can imagine. I can even use water elements to build a one-to-one model of you, exactly the same as before."

At this moment, Xue Zhi launched a counterattack!

But after a moment of shyness, W recovered, put down her arms, and showed herself openly.

"So how do you feel? Does it look good?"

After taking the first step, Xue Zhi also relaxed a lot. He carefully observed every inch of W's body through his spiritual tentacles. It was fine at first, but later when he found more and more Originium crystals, his relaxed mood instantly became heavy: "Very beautiful, in my opinion, it is a gift from God. But the Originium on your body really destroys the beauty. I have to find a way to cure you, at least to suppress or peel off those Originium crystals that are spreading."

"Now you dislike me for being infected?"

A teasing voice rang out, and even through the wall, Xue Zhi could feel the happiness in W's tone that was contrary to his words.

"I don't dislike it. I just feel bad that such a beautiful thing has been polluted."

"Then I hope you can cure me soon."

"must."

The sound of water stopped, and W, who had finished bathing, dried himself and put on a bathrobe.

With her breasts half exposed and her skin moist, she began to cut a few holes in the clothes that Xue Zhi had taken out to accommodate her tail.

These clothes were good in every way, except that there was no place for her to put her tail. For this reason, she said to Xue Zhi who was experimenting with magic outside: "Since you brought these clothes, have you ever thought about those people with tails?"

Xue Zhi dissipated all the elements in her hand and said directly: "No, I don't think the tail is a very good thing. Apart from adding a little balance and interest between men and women, it has no use."

Hearing this, W walked to the door, stretched out his tail through the window on the wooden door, and pointed the tip of his heart-shaped tail at Xue Zhi: "How can you talk like that, a thing without a tail... Ugh!"

Seeing her stretching out her tail, Xue Zhi responded by flicking a small electric spark at W. The moment it hit W, her entire tail instantly straightened up. A pleasant cry came from the next room: "Look, exposing such a sensitive and fragile part is like adding a weakness out of thin air. And when someone chases you, they can grab your tail, which means you are half a body behind the person without a tail. What should you do?"

Unable to argue with Xue Zhi, W quieted down and concentrated on the task at hand.

After a while, W, wearing a brand new forest camouflage, came out. She looked at herself with the help of the mirror made of ice by Xue Zhi and said, "It fits me well."

Xue Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged behind the mirror, nodded: "Indeed."

Sliding open the mirror, W half-knelt in front of Xue Zhi, leaning forward, with a smile on her pretty face that looked like she wanted to cause trouble: "Does it smell good now?"

The moment she approached, the scent of shower gel mixed with the smell of hormones filled Xue Zhi's body, forming a very wonderful and alluring smell.

Although she was happy in her heart, Xue Zhi remained calm on the surface and nodded, giving a thumbs up: "Great, I knew the shower gel I picked would smell good."

W's smile froze again. Although she was not a good person, she could not say anything unpleasant in this situation where someone else saved her and she still relied on others. So she could only grit her teeth and say, "Okay, you are good."

Chapter 14: The battlefield of technological advancement

After a night's rest, W, who had changed into the same 21-style starry sky camouflage and carrying gear as Xue Zhi, no longer floated behind him like a lady in a sedan chair, but followed him and continued to measure the land with her feet. In her words, although sitting in a chair was convenient, it made her feel useless, and in a cruel place like Kazdel, useless people would only be abandoned.

The annoying rain was still falling. Under the cover of the sound of rain, Xue Zhi made W get used to the power, explosion time, and weight of industrial explosives and industrial TNT.

Several huge explosions resounded through the forest, and the dense rain curtain was broken by the strong wind generated by the explosion in an instant.

The sound was heard from far away, but as for the pursuers, Xue Zhi only did so out of boredom and unwillingness to kill so many people, not because he was really afraid of them. His ever-increasing physical fitness and unfathomable magic pool gave him enough confidence to defeat the masters who might chase him.

"Let's go, W, this is not a firecracker that Da Yan's children play with, but a real weapon that can kill people. Just set off a few and look at the various data."

Xue Zhi grabbed W, who was looking at the huge hole created by the explosion with excitement on his face, and wanted to place another one before leaving.

With his hand held by him, W could only look back reluctantly at the huge pit with a diameter of 6m and 16m that was still emitting thick smoke, and then follow his footsteps obediently.

Although these two things cannot reach the level of a 155mm howitzer that can knock down everyone within half a football field with one shot, they are enough as handheld individual weapons. The Terrans are strong, but most of them are only slightly strong. Carbon-based creatures have a natural disadvantage when facing fire and explosions.

After the loud noise was heard, the pursuers throughout the forest immediately began to gather here, but when they reached the location where the sound came from, they only found two deep pits filled with water.

"'Sarkaz foul language', so many of us were fooled by these two!? We searched for so long but still couldn't find them!?"

A Sarkaz officer angrily pounded the tree trunk beside him. He was very annoyed by the bad trips in the past few days, but his subordinates beside him were secretly glad that they did not encounter the target. After all, if such a difficult task was not completed, the most they would receive was a small penalty, but if they encountered the target, they would most likely die.

"Keep chasing! A member of the Military Committee has already set off, and a captain transferred from the front has also entered the jungle. They can definitely help us solve the problem! We must at least find the target before they arrive!"

"Yes!"

No matter how reluctant they were, the military order was as strong as a mountain. The members of the team responded loudly and continued to step into a muddy forest.

The two people who had made them so embarrassed had now walked nearly 10 kilometers and were chatting as they walked.

"W, it has been raining for so many days, could it be a natural disaster?"

Facing Xue Zhi's question, W shook her head decisively, and then she spoke of an old story with a rare awe in her eyes.

"Impossible, if it was a natural disaster, we would have been turned into human-shaped Originium after being soaked in so much rain. You have never seen an Originium disaster, but once you see it, you will understand how gentle the rain is now. When I... um, I forgot when, anyway, before I met Hedley and the others, I encountered a natural disaster. The funny thing is that it was only a small disaster, but I felt like the end of the world had come.

At that time, I had just come out of a settlement, and then that settlement was hit by a natural disaster. I can't describe the sudden natural disaster in detail, I can only tell you that a strong wind suddenly blew in the originally peaceful wilderness, and black clouds appeared at the edge of the settlement in just a few seconds, covering half of the settlement. Then a large number of huge irregular source stones fell from the sky like rain, directly flooding most of the settlement. And where I was, a large number of source stone crystal clusters suddenly appeared, and an unreasonable headache and a feeling like static electricity filled my body. At that time, I was directly scared away.

This action saved me, but the mineral sickness that was triggered afterwards also made me feel uncomfortable for a long time. After I recovered, I learned that there were not many people who escaped from the entire settlement. Most of the people in the settlement, including some people who had just escaped nearby, died. The lucky ones turned into human-shaped Originium, while the unlucky ones could not even find their bodies. "

When talking about this incident now, W still feels a lingering fear. This was the closest she had ever been to death.

Seeing that her body was shaking slightly, Xue Zhi directly took up her shaking hand and comforted her: "It's okay, it's over."

The slightly calloused hands held Xue Zhi tightly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She was a qualified warrior, but facing natural disasters often requires greater courage.

Xue Zhi had read about the Originium disaster before. The horror and powerlessness expressed through the text were overwhelming. It was no wonder that the Terrans were so terrified. If it were him in the past, he probably wouldn't be much better.

After walking for a while while holding Xue Zhi's hand, W, who had recovered from his old fear, slowly exhaled a breath and said slowly: "Don't worry, it's been so long. It's just that bringing it up again reminds me of the scene when the sky was falling and the feeling of helplessness."

There was no conversation along the way, and as it was approaching midnight, the two men, who had been walking all day, were planning to find a place to rest when several sharp sounds suddenly pierced the dark night.

The solid ice immediately turned into a shield surrounding them. The next moment, a shell exploded above their heads, and more shells fell around them, stirring up tall clouds of dust.

"Indirect trajectory, is it a mortar or a grenade launcher? I thought they didn't have this kind of large toy for individual soldiers."

The strong wind blocked the flying dirt and rocks, and the fire from the explosion illuminated the entire forest in the heavy rain.

A crystal clear, thin but extremely tough ice crystal was placed above the two men's heads, detonating the shells that kept coming from the air, sparking bright flames.

A large number of flying shells brought the entire forest into a rain of deadly fragments, and the crackling sound continued.

Under the ice crystals, Xue Zhi, who was safe and sound, looked around, but did not find any scouts who could guide the artillery approaching them. There was no such thing as laser guidance on Terra.

W, who also found nothing, reminded: "Drone."

"That makes sense. After playing sword and magic with these people for so long, I almost forgot that Kazdel is also a fairly developed semi-information society. Drink one bottle, and within eight minutes you can see as clearly at night as during the day."

【-twenty four】

After exchanging 8 bottles of eight-minute night vision potions and giving them all to W, Xue Zhi exchanged for a command fairy.

A small quadcopter drone and two signal receivers suddenly appeared in his hands. A holographic image of a cartoon girl wearing a monocle appeared above the main body of the drone. Interestingly, various high-tech observation equipment under the fuselage were rotating with the line of sight of the holographic image.

High technology, artificial intelligence, fifty years ahead, boy!

Chapter 15: Quick Battle

"Mark all targets except the two of us, as well as the enemy's drones. Turn off the holographic image and save yourself. The enemy has anti-aircraft means."

W, who was drinking potion nearby, looked at the scene suspiciously. She didn't understand why Xue Zhi didn't use a remote control but language to operate the drone.

But contrary to her expectations, the cartoon girl actually nodded as if she really understood Xue Zhi's words. After her figure disappeared, she rose up at a speed she had never seen before, and there was not even any obvious noise throughout the whole process.

"Okay, take this, and we'll start counterattacking once their position is marked. This is no longer an ordinary Sarkaz army, we must deliver a heavy blow!"

Suppressing the curiosity that continued to grow in his heart, W took the signal receiver handed to him by Xue Zhi while savoring the night vision potion that tasted like carrot juice.

She could no longer see the drone Xue Zhi had just released, as it had obviously risen to a very high altitude. The screen of the signal receiver in her hand was centered on the two blue dots, with the terrain and a large number of red dots, as well as white dots that might represent enemy drones.

Xue Zhi, who was watching the screen, sneered. He turned to W and said, "Oh, there are quite a lot of people. I'll take care of the rest. Any questions?"

W shook the explosive Xue Zhi had given her before, and then rushed into the rain: "Leave it to me, I will make them have an unforgettable day."

Xue Zhi smiled and shook her head, then raised her hand and several bright and thick arcs of electricity shot into the sky.

After the flash of lightning appeared, a few fleeting bright spots appeared in the dark sky not far away, followed by several objects emitting black smoke falling rapidly.

After dealing with the drone in the sky, he did not move, but stood where he was, using his distance control ability and spatial sensing ability that far exceeded that of ordinary people to slide and lock onto all his targets.

The next moment, sharp and huge ice spikes rose from the ground under the feet of every targeted person, even though there was an average distance of more than four to five kilometers between them.

The sound of flesh being torn apart could be heard, and hot blood spilled all over the forest. The explosions that had been ringing out just now suddenly stopped, and the corpses whose brains were pierced from top to bottom swayed like rag bags in the forest breeze.

There were no wails or cries, only the sound of blood and flowing water.

Looking at the large number of light spots that suddenly disappeared on the signal receiver screen, Xue Zhi said to herself:

"Some people call it cruel, but I call it efficient..."

After instantly eliminating most of the enemies, he turned his sight in the direction of W. The heavy rocks and trees blocked his sight, but the signal receiver could still clearly see that the blue dot she represented was crossing the mountain woods at a very fast speed and approaching the Military Commission troops, which were still unaware of it at the moment.

After a while, continuous explosions sounded not far away, and red dots dimmed on the signal receiver screen.

Compared to Xue Zhi's efficient handling, W's movements were a bit slow.

However, when getting along with Sylvie, she has to let her do some work within her ability, otherwise she won't be able to take medicine when she gets sick later. Although Xue Zhi estimated that it wouldn't have much impact if she didn't let W do anything.

A new white dot appeared on the screen. It was a drone fired by the opponent. Xue Zhi raised her hand and shot it down. W can see the opponent, but they cannot see W. It's an asymmetric battlefield, and I have the advantage.

It didn't take long for the last red dot representing the enemy to disappear and the explosions to stop. The entire high-tech force carrying drones and indirect fire weapons was wiped out within ten minutes.

Soon, W emerged from the forest smelling of gunpowder.

"Is everything resolved?"

"Well, I'm a little hurt, help me fix it."

She raised her arm, which had a wound more than ten centimeters long that was bleeding continuously.
