Arknights is too real, right?

Dusk.

Brother ACE stood at the door of the barbecue restaurant and shouted to Xia Feng inside.

"Xia Feng, it's time to go."

"kindness."

After putting on his coat and scarf, Xia Feng carried a box of finished Origin Stones with one hand and walked to the jeep parked at the door with Brother ACE.

After sitting in the passenger seat, Xia Feng glanced at the data on the bracelet.

[The fusion rate of somatic cells and Origin Stone is 14%]

[Crystal density of blood source stone 0.50u/L]

[Critical period: 5]

[Countdown to the next cycle: 4 days]

There are still 4 days until the black and white twins enter the next cycle, but before starting the next reincarnation, they will reach their strongest state in 30 days.

That's right, he wanted to reach Syracuse on the 30th day, climb the snow-capped mountain where the magic sword was buried, and fulfill his promise to Mount Huangxuan.

Even if he achieves a staged victory, he cannot stop moving forward. Strength is the simplest bargaining chip. In order to protect everything he has and obtain more, he must obtain stronger strength.

Among them, this trip to the snowy mountains was the highest priority on his schedule. After meeting Tallulah, he experienced the power of the magic sword firsthand. Especially for a person like him, the improvement of the magic sword was simply huge. It was an exaggeration to say that It’s the relationship between Sun Wukong and the Golden Cudgel.

Although the city of Notting has just been captured and there is already a mountain of things that need to be dealt with, Xia Feng becomes restless whenever he thinks of the magic sword on the snow mountain. To describe it in one sentence.

He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't get the magic sword for a day.

The jeep quickly drove out of the city and embarked on the journey to Syracuse again with the setting sun.

This time Xia Feng only asked Brother ACE to accompany him. Hong Dao's injury was not healed yet, and A Guang was too noisy. Xia Feng felt that Brother ACE alone was enough.

The route was already familiar to Xia Feng, including the location of the snow-capped mountains. Xia Feng remembered it very clearly. Brother ACE was an experienced driver, so this journey was several times smoother than the last time.

Along the way, Xia Feng and Brother ACE also talked about the magic sword stuck on the top of the snow mountain. What surprised him was that Brother ACE had also heard of it, but he only heard about it and had never actually been there. .

ACE said while driving.

"Is it really that magical? It can also absorb blood?"

"It's true, and even the snow on the ground changed color. Not only that, I also saw it while holding the sword."

"What do you see?"

Xia Feng stopped talking.

"It's nothing. What I saw was probably just an illusion."

Yes, he saw Shenyue and Red Demon, the hands held together on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and the happiness in their pupils. Then, he also saw the farewell after a long life.

Just like the origin of the black and white twins, this kind of picture is only seen by him. At the same time, only he can understand the emotions contained in it. That kind of picture cannot be described in words. If outsiders know it, it will only lead to wrong interpretation. Just like the story Yuanshan once told him.

3 days later.

The cold wind passed over the face of the summer wind, and the familiar scenery appeared in his field of vision again. He returned to the snow-capped mountains at the junction of Syracuse and Minos.

The secret realm of the snow-covered fairy mountain is long, and no one has stepped on it to embrace the mist.

The cold air was sucked into the lungs, making the senses clearer. Brother ACE looked at this majestic and magnificent scenery and admired it.

"I didn't expect there to be a place like this in Syracuse. It's like a fairyland."

The scenery here is indeed like a fairyland, but it is also a dangerous place. The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the thinner the air becomes. The steep mountains hide countless dangers. When you inadvertently step on a piece of white snow, you may fall into the abyss. .

"Let's go, this mountain is very high, and it's still far from the top."

"kindness."

Just like last time, the clouds and fog became thicker as we got closer to the top of the mountain. Fortunately, we could judge the approximate position of the sun from the light source transmitted through the clouds and fog, so Xia Feng was not completely lost.

After several hours, Xia Feng finally returned to the cliff at the top of the snow mountain.

Through the clouds and mist, the decayed sword was still firmly embedded in the rock, and the stone tablets on both sides of [Shen Yue] and [Red Demon] stood quietly.

Seeing the scene in front of him, even the well-informed ACE brother was surprised. The sword tomb and stone tablets, this picture revealed a sad and sacred feeling of vicissitudes of life.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped. For some reason, the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain were much thinner than last time. Xia Feng turned his head sideways while holding the box.

"Brother ACE, stay away, I'm about to start."

ACE nodded and retreated dozens of meters away.

After several days of traveling, the data on Xia Feng's bracelet changed again.

[Critical period: 5]

[Countdown to the next cycle: 0 days]

Today is the last day of the running cycle of the black and white twins, and it is also the 30th day of the strongest. As long as there is enough source stone as support, on this day, he will be the incarnation of the devil.

The manic power was difficult to suppress in his body. Along the way, the white snow on the treetops was trembling. Whether it was a seal or an earth vein, he would break it with his own hands.

"Click!"

Xia Feng opened the box and spilled all the Origin Stones inside on the ground.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Dozens of Origin Stones rolled around the Sword Tomb. Under the black and white twins on the 30th day, he no longer needed the Origin Stone to touch his body. As long as he was near him, he could absorb the energy in the Origin Stone.

Taking out the wallpaper knife, Xia Feng cut his palm with an expressionless expression.

A drop of blood fell from his fingers, staining the white snow on the ground red. The next second, under the stimulation of pain, the long-suppressed black power tilted out like a volcanic eruption.

For a moment, the white snow was trembling, the air was distorting, and the black mist centered on the summer wind eclipsed the sun in the sky.

Taking a deep breath, he took the first step towards the sword tomb in front of him.

With this step, the mountain beneath his feet was trembling slightly. If the seal of the magic sword was connected to the huge earth vein, then Xia Feng's power at this moment was the wrath of the earth.

The origin of all things, the twins of black and white, after the death of the demons born from the earth, inhuman things that called themselves gods and demons were born one after another in later generations.

Even though ACE had seen Xia Feng's unparalleled power before when he single-handedly destroyed the Blood Harbor Gang, now compared to then, his power has become significantly stronger. Facing the wrath of the earth rising from the sky, everything in the world can do anything. An instinctive fear arose in my heart.

The world in Xia Feng's eyes had lost its color. He stretched out his hand, and the devil's hand was on the hilt of the sword.

The black mist emitting around him became thicker and thicker, and the black airflow began to slowly rotate around him, wrapping him and the sword in it. The dozens of Origin Stones scattered on the ground began to slowly lose their luster.

At the same time, the red demon sword inserted in the sword mound made a sword cry.

As if in response to something, the mottled blood stains on the sword began to gradually fall off, and lines like flowing blood emerged on the sword.

The blood on Xia Feng's palm was stained on the sword, and a deep emotion was transmitted back to his heart from the intersection of hand and sword.

It is unforgettable companionship and protection across time and space.
