High priest

Qi Xinli traveled swiftly all the way to the polar South Continent.

The sky was full of wind and snow, and people formed a long team on the ice field to wave flashlights. The sporadic lights lit up the polar night and showed Qi Xin Liming the landing location.

He parked his private plane firmly in the ice and snow, put on a coat and walked outside, it seemed that the temperature of tens of degrees below zero had no effect on him.

But the fact is true, whether it is low temperature or extreme night, it does not affect his body temperature and vision.Even without a full suit against the cold and cold, Qi Xinli still walks like a fly and has a clear mind.

He was the first person to realize the concept of "community of shared future", and also the first person to associate the polar region with the gate of the realm.After all, extremely hot volcanoes will spew out monsters, and there is no reason why extremely cold ice caps will not cause problems.

And if the boundary gate also appeared in the polar region, then this place would be the weakest place for human defense.If careful planning is not possible, the embankment of a thousand miles may collapse in an ant's nest.

Therefore, Qi Xinli has only one purpose in coming to the polar region. He wants to prove his conjecture, and then use real evidence to issue a warning to the world and ask for support.

If you're lucky, maybe the first combined army will be born in the polar regions.

However, he expected something to happen in Nanzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.It was so serious that the light that guided his plane to land was not emitted from the lighthouse, but the light network built by the survivors with flashlights.

Yes, survivors.

While the world scrambles to fight the rising monsters in its respective lands, far-flung South Africa is also experiencing its horrors.The polar night in Antarctica in April, especially in the last half of the month, is hard to endure every minute.

Qi Xinli met his compatriots from Zhongzhou, as well as people from other countries.He found that they had abandoned their respective strongholds, only opened up a new ice field to set up camp, and gathered all their weapons and food.

This is rare.

As we all know, Nanzhou is uninhabited, and it has been called "pure land" since ancient times.Most of the creatures here are penguins and seals, and the rest are soldiers and researchers from various countries who "joined" later.

They jointly researched and developed Nanzhou, and at the same time had the reserve between countries. Their usual relationship was not rigid, but it was not close either.In other words, silos are the norm, and win-win cooperation is rare.

But now, they not only live in one place, but also have a night watch shift schedule.Even, they integrated combat teams, intelligence personnel and logistics teams, and have been guarding Nanzhou without moving their nests.

In them, Qi Xinli saw the possibility of forming a "community".

So, he skipped the useless greetings and went straight to the point: "I am Qi Xinli, the awakened number 8 of Central Continent, please tell me, what happened to the polar region?"

Today, the word "awakened" can be described as thunderous.

Many people were still dissatisfied with why it was not the army that supported them, but only one person, but when they saw that Qi Xinli went into battle lightly and was exposed to the extremely cold environment, but there was nothing wrong with it, they understood—the awakened ones are very strong, The rumors are true!

Soon, the compatriots from Central Continent stepped forward and seriously stated the anomaly in Nan Continent: "The matter started a month ago..."

Before January, it was the middle and late March stage.At that time, the resonant frequency of various gates was extending, and the Lunduogang volcano was the most affected place.

Similarly, Polar South Africa is also one of the victims.

Under the vibration of low-frequency negative energy, the central part of the ice sheet in Nanzhou collapsed, forming a fantastic blue lake.

At first, everyone thought it was because of "global warming" that the ice layer melted, and then spit out strange algae or poisons that had been dusty for thousands of years... This is not a trivial matter, in case the poisonous substances enter the ecological circle along the seawater , may cause great damage to all things.

For this reason, they immediately formed a team to investigate, but found that things were not so "simple".

That lake is like a channel, linking another space...

Under the shroud of the polar night in Nanzhou, everything is pitch black, except for the big lake that exudes a faint blue light, like a large piece of sapphire lost in the world.

It is extremely beautiful, like the starry night sky, like the vast Milky Way.Everyone who sees it can't help but be moved by it and admire the magic of nature's creation.How ingenious would it have to be to create a glowing, ice-free lake?

Human beings cannot refuse beautiful things. They approached the lake following their instincts, only to find a huge and colorful jellyfish swimming under the ripples of the floodlight.

"We thought it was the most beautiful creature in the polar regions..." our compatriots in Zhongzhou smiled wryly, "but we didn't expect it to be our urging talisman. The more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is. For the first contact, we paid the price of 17 lives."

Moreover, it has not been eliminated.

"The lake is like a mirror. When the 'killer jellyfish' climbed ashore, it seemed to open a film similar to the texture of a mirror. After it landed, it began to hunt and kill humans."

"We know it's a monster, so we can't let it walk out of South Africa alive. Afterwards, Mr. Sisley poured oil on it, induced the monster to swallow itself, and then detonated it in its belly..."

"That night, a total of 36 heroes were killed in this pure land."

Regrettably, at that time, the continents could not protect themselves. Except for a batch of support and supplies sent in the middle period, they could barely maintain contact afterwards.It is said that the planes sent could not cross the place named "ghost land".

And they were guarding Nanzhou, during which time they forcibly killed the second monster with their brains, and finally waited for an awakened person today.

"Before you came, the third monster had already appeared." The compatriot said, "Can you imagine? It turned out to be a 'woman' no different from a human being, except that its skin was dark blue. Just looking at it from a distance At a glance, it feels very oppressive and suffocating. We once thought that we would not be able to survive, but in the end—"

"Two beams of light flashed across the sky." He gestured, "It seemed to be black, red and white, and then there was a bang, the ice sheet split thousands of miles apart, and the 'woman' disappeared immediately."

Qi Xinli: ...

Think with your toes and know which two did it.However, it is obvious that the polar region has not received this news, and it seems that their communication equipment has also gone wrong.

Hearing this, Qi Xinli said: "You can use the equipment on the private plane as you like."

"But now, first tell me where is that lake?"

……

In the depths of the polar night is the secret blue lake.It is located in the depression of the entire ice sheet, covering an area of ​​about half a hectare, and glowing with sparkling blue light in the dark, it is as beautiful as a dream.

As they said, this is the most amazing scenery in Nanzhou, and it is also the deadliest nightmare.

Qi Xinli stood on the high part of the ice field overlooking the lake, and he could almost see it all.The strong wind was blowing, and the people around him were already unconscious from the cold, but Qi Xinli was still calm, and only ordered: "Go to a safer place and stay."

"What about you?"

"Say hello to the newcomer."

Qi Xinli saw that there was indeed a tall blue "woman" swimming by in the lake.It has long dark blue hair, skin and scales, golden pupils, slender hands and feet, except for the fangs that are bared, everything else looks very human.

But no matter how similar it is, it is not human.

He saw it, and it saw him.The other party locked him, and stretched out his hand to stick to the lake surface, but unexpectedly, the lake surface was like a broken mirror, with a long black gap.

The blue humanoid monster withdrew its hand, and the black gap was quickly smoothed out, as if it had never appeared before.Probably because he knew that he couldn't get out, he could only sink into the bottom of the lake and disappear.

"Mr. Qi..." They still didn't leave.

"Go back, it is not a threat for the time being." Qi Xinli said, "However, this is the first time I have seen a monster that looks so similar to a human being."

Looks like it should be a person.

……

At noon, Ji Si and Sino City in Ningyuan received a message from Qi Xinli.

The other party stated the general situation of Nanzhou in detail, and told them about the blue lake and the monsters in the lake, and said by the way: "I suspect that a similar gate has appeared in the polar North Continent. Let's do the math." Go, Ula is the closest to Beizhou... It seems that there is no need to worry, the monster may not be able to pass Ula's level."

It has to be said that after seeing the fighting power of Lackey and Aurora, Qi Xinli had a kind of confidence in Ula.Thinking about Ula's fierce folk customs, he felt that monsters seemed a little more pitiful?

Since Beizhou doesn't need to worry about it for the time being, let's worry about the problem of Nanzhou.

"Human-like monsters..." Ji Si said lightly, "Then you have to be more careful. The more beautiful the creature is, the more dangerous it is, and the more human-like the monster is, the stronger it will be."

"The more human-like you are, the stronger you are?"

"Naturally, I've said that—human beings are extreme tools." Ji Sidao, "It is the extreme tools that make it possible to achieve the ultimate. Otherwise, why would there be a saying in the myth that 'a spirit and a monster cultivated for a thousand years to obtain a human body'?"

"Being able to become a 'human' is a matter of God's good fortune, and the closer the appearance of a ghost is to a human being, the more it will be like a human being."

The same applies to monsters in different dimensions.

"The more human-like and beautiful a monster in human form is, the more dangerous it is." Just like the male vixen in the reincarnation team, he looks so beautiful that people die, but when he strikes, he scares people to death.

Of course, not every powerful monster is willing to move closer to the pole.For example, the giant starry beast that devours the stars always likes to maintain its largest appearance...

But in this world, the appearance of humanoid monsters does mean that the war has escalated.

They are strong enough, they will never be frightened by the aftermath of the battle between him and Sino City, but will chase after this force, bringing more fans and disasters.

Southland's humanoid was the first, but it won't be the last.

"As for the question of the surface of the lake being like a mirror... I might as well tell you that a mirror is a way to build a channel between worlds." Ji Sidao, "Its function is similar to the dream of an awakened person. Bring something from another world."

……

The mirror is originally a medium for constructing the passage between the world and the world?

Thinking of this, Qi Xinli looked at the blue lake and the sparkling light in the lake, couldn't help thinking for a moment, and suddenly thought of a "wonderful" idea.

Why can a lake become a mirror?

Because it has water!

A mirror cannot be formed without water, and naturally there is nothing.What if he drained all the water from this lake?To be honest, as long as the water is drained, he would like to see how the lake can turn into a mirror, and how can monsters be thrown from another world?

Tsk, pumping water, you must not be used to it!
