Behind them was a blaze of flames.

Most of the awakened people showed a relieved expression, and they all went to the direction where Zhaolin was.

But Si Qingxuan and the others, carried by the giant Weeping Thrush, crossed the fence built by ghost vines without hesitation, and plunged into the deep green forest.

Si Qingxuan didn't want to go back to the preparation area, he was asking for trouble; Gu Kai and the others didn't make a sound, everyone just remained silent.

The Crying Thrush flew for a long time.During this period, they looked down, and all they could see were wriggling, thick or short vines, like snakes crawling all over the ground.

After 3 minutes, passing through the creepy dark green vines, they finally glimpsed some traces of human society——

A large area of ​​commercial buildings stands quietly, and lush trees grow wantonly in the cracked concrete pavement.Shrubs filled the riddled human cities.Bright green moss covers these buildings quietly, and from a distance, it seems that the city has rusted in a long sleep.

In fact, only 48 hours have passed since the illusion spread to Dongning District, and then Dongning District fell.

The Ghost Crying Thrush made a soft cry, indicating that this is a relatively safe place.Then, it flapped its wings, swooped down, and landed on the ground.

"Cough, cough cough." Markle, who was held by the claw of the ghost crying thrush, was the first to land.Because of his posture, he was guzzled by the cold wind during the flight, and coughed twice as soon as he landed.

Si Qingxuan and the others jumped off the bird's back and landed lightly.

The moment they landed, Ghost Crying Thrush blinked, then lowered its head to Si Qingxuan, and turned into a thick black mist with a bang, dissipating in the air.

When it reappeared, it turned into a palm-sized crow with thin bright red tail feathers, and stood obediently on Si Qingxuan's shoulder.

"It's so cute." Qiao Luosang praised, and stretched his finger to the mouth of Ghost Crying Thrush, wanting to stroke its head.

But Ghost Crying Thrush doesn't like this.It gently pecked Qiao Luosang's finger with its beak, and in exchange for a low cry of pain from the other party, it proudly turned its head aside.

"You'd better not provoke it." Si Qingxuan said, "It is not a tame animal."

Qiao Luosang didn't believe it: "What is it? Is it a strange creature?"

Gu Kai only glanced at it, and explained: "This is a ghost crying thrush. A-level disaster. It is classified as a strange creature that prefers to eat human flesh and blood."

Qiao Luosang: "..." She suddenly felt that she was lucky that her finger was still there.

"You dare to raise such a dangerous and weird creature." Markle was speechless, he hadn't fully recovered from the cough, and the muscles on his cheeks twisted a little when he spoke, "As expected of the young master... Cough cough, good courage! "

Si Qingxuan: "...you'd better catch your breath before talking."

He knew that Markle was praising himself, but that ferocious expression was really strange no matter how you looked at it.

After about 1 minute, Markle had completely returned to normal.He took out the thing that Gu Kai threw to him from his pocket before, and shook it in his hands. The black metal continued to extend, fold, and tightly embedded together, forming a handle about the length of an arm, with two handles. Tang Dao with a slightly thinner side blade - obviously, it is made of the same material as the giant scythe in Gu Kai's hand.

"Okay, I'm recovering." He said brightly, "I will never hold you back!"

Qiao Luosang straightened his cloak, muttered "Gorilla" lightly, then casually broke a branch from the bushes around him, and drew on the soil.

"I memorized the map before I came here." Qiao Luosang said, "Now we have climbed over the fence made of ghost vines, in the commercial center of Dongning District. To go to Nanning District for rescue, we must first Go southwest and cross a bridge—these two districts are separated by a river, and we cannot fly over this bridge. After crossing the bridge, go south for a few kilometers and you will arrive at Nanning District.”

"Can't we just fly over there?" Markle asked.

"Do you think the people from the Prevention and Control Bureau haven't tried it?" Qiao Luosang dropped the branch and looked up, with a faint crimson color in his black pupils, "They have also sent helicopters, and there are awakened people who can fly Either it was beaten to pieces by the ghost vines, or it was detected in advance by the strange creatures in Nanning District and crushed alive - those strange creatures also grew wings and flew very high."

"Our mission is to give priority to rescue." Gu Kai said, "Ghost vines and others will probably be taken care of in a while. We just need to be careful and concealed, and try to avoid making too much noise when crossing the bridge."

After listening to their discussion, Si Qingxuan said, "I wanted to ask before—since you are carrying out the rescue mission in the name of Si Linge, why didn't you wait for the team from the Prevention and Control Bureau and go with them?"

In the strange illusion, of course, it is safer to go together.

"Because to be honest-we are here to save people." Qiao Luosang said straight to the point, "Young Master, you have also seen that the talents of the few of us are bluffing, but none of them are talents with high lethality. .We are only suitable for stealth on the battlefield. Besides, following the Control Bureau, not only will we have to go through a lot of battles, but it will also be inconvenient...the Control Bureau has too many rules. At that time, if they order us, will we listen or not? ? Why don't you just avoid it."

"Who are you here to save?" Si Qingxuan became interested.

"The stinky brat who became famous on the forums recently - the 'Yan Ling' of the fifth formation of the Lingyang branch." Qiao Luosang said, "Well, it is actually Gu Kai who must save him. We are looking at For Gu Kai's sake, come up and form a team with him...Si Linge's rule is that four people must be gathered to form a rescue team."

"Originally, we just wanted to recruit a make-up." Markle said with a sunny smile, "I didn't expect to catch a golden dragon fish!"

Arowana Si Qingxuan: "..." Thank you, I'm not very moved.

"Okay, let's go first and chat while walking." Gu Kai interrupted their chat, and looked up at the sky, "Let's go to the bridge first, and then try to see if we can cross the bridge in the dark."

There are still two or three hours before evening, even if you walk with your feet, there is still enough time.

So the four of them started walking.

Si Qingxuan approached Qiao Luosang and asked her, "Have you memorized all the maps around here?"

"Hmm." Qiao Luosang nodded, "But Gu Kai still has a paper version, and we also have an electronic version in our mobile phones. Which one do you want to see, Young Master?"

"I just want to know what to do with the storage in Si Linge." Si Qingxuan said, and at the same time noticed Qiao Luosang's eyes lit up, "I know its approximate location. But it seems that you are better at finding road."

"It's not far from here, two blocks away! I remember it very well." Qiao Luosang said softly, "Young master, do you want to go to the storage room?—I'll accompany you!" Qiao Luosang almost It started to hop around like a rabbit, "There are so many things in the storage, you must not be able to move them all. A few more people can help you share more!"

Si Qingxuan was noncommittal to Qiao Luosang's statement, but because of Qiao Luosang's cuteness, Si Qingxuan didn't refute her either.

"Let's try to cross the bridge first." He said, "Saving people is the most important thing. If we can't, let's go to the storage to see if there are any props that can work wonders."

"Shh." Si Qingxuan put his fingertips to his lips, his eyes were like lakes under a clear sky, transparent and soft, "Don't tell the two of them yet. Give them a surprise later."

The repository of Si Ling Ge - the wealth inside must not be underestimated.

Ever since Gu Kai and others entered Chongning City, they were destined not to leave without gain.

Qiao Luosang's eyes seemed to be filled with the brilliance of stars.She nodded fiercely, elongated her voice, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Young Master——"

However, before Qiao Luosang finished speaking, her ears suddenly moved.She tilted her head slightly, and her eyes fell on a certain place.

"I seem to hear something." She frowned and said, "like the sound of rain..." After a few seconds, her eyes suddenly widened, and she ran forward while shouting: "It's bugs! There is a large group of bugs coming!"

Gu Kai and Markle, who were walking in front, turned their heads subconsciously, and Gu Kai took out a monocular from his toolbox.Before he could use the binoculars, a thick black had already spread on the street not far away——

It was a group of black beetles, each half the size of a palm, with gray spiral lines on their wings, and some barbed teeth could be faintly seen in the constantly moving mouthparts.

They will be punished for just a few of them, let alone a group of them!

"Run!" Si Qingxuan gave an order, and the remaining three immediately turned around and started running for their lives.

Qiao Luosang had short legs, and Markle carried her on his shoulders familiarly, and ran away with her.Qiao Luosang let out a soft cry of pain because of his rough movement, but grabbed his cloak tightly without complaining - it seemed that this was not the first time they had done this.

Gu Kai looked around, looking for a suitable cover.

Generally speaking, they should enter a building, find a sealed space, and wait for this bug swarm to pass.

But there is also an obvious disadvantage in doing so: if they fail to cut off the pursuit of the bug swarm in time, that closed space with nowhere to escape will become their burial place.

"Where are we going?" Markle asked.

"—Turn left at the second intersection ahead!" Qiao Luosang shouted while covering her hood.

They followed Qiao Luosang's instructions subconsciously, passed through several buildings, and ran into a dark underground tunnel.

The swarm of insects chased after them relentlessly, and for a moment, the terrifying buzzing sound was almost within walking distance of them.

Gu Kai took out two black round bombs from his toolbox, waved them and threw them above his head.The bomb was stuck to the top of the passage, and the moment a few people walked into the passage, a red light suddenly lit up——

boom.

There was a strong wave behind them.The surrounding walls were blown to pieces, completely blocking the narrow passage.

A few beetles rushed over desperately, and rushed towards the shirtless Markle.

Si Qingxuan raised his hand and waved the long sword in his hand.The sword edge was waving in the air, and its posture was extremely dexterous.Markle's eyes widened slightly, and he stepped back subconsciously, only feeling that the gentle breeze and the chilling sharpness were concentrated in a ray of silver light - after he saw everything clearly, the few bugs had been sliced ​​into pieces cut two pieces.

Markle stared in disbelief at the long sword that was oozing with cold light on his chest, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, thank you."

"Have you carried enough?" Qiao Luosang began to complain softly, "Put me down!"

Markle put Qiao Luosang on the ground as if unloading, then leaned over to Si Qingxuan, and asked curiously: "What kind of Chinese swordsmanship did you use just now? You are so powerful!"

Si Qingxuan: "...No, this is completely Western swordsmanship."

The swordsmanship that the tyrant Galigula has learned in years of battles is absolutely miscellaneous, without any distinguished masters, and the only characteristic is that it works.

Markle took a light breath, glanced at the Tang Dao in his hand, and imitated Si Qingxuan's posture just now, fiddled with it twice, and it still looked good.

"He has learned sword skills?" Si Qingxuan asked Gu Kai who was beside him.

Gu Kai nodded, calmed down his beating heart, looked around, and asked Qiao Luosang: "Where are we now?"

"Undoubtedly." Qiao Luosang straightened his messy hair and said with a smug smile, "Of course it's the storage warehouse arranged by Si Linge in Chongning City!"

Gu Kai/Markle: "..."

One of them had "Sure enough" written on their faces, while the other was completely puzzled.

"Storage?" Markle said. "What are we doing here—there's a lot of good stuff here?"

Afterwards, both he and Qiao Luosang turned their gazes to Si Qingxuan and looked at him eagerly.

Si Qingxuan: "..."

Si Qingxuan couldn't help laughing.

"Okay." Si Qingxuan said, "Let's go and have a look together."

Gu Kai, who was silent, didn't understand what they were talking about at first, but suddenly realized at this second.He looked at Si Qingxuan with some surprise, a blush suddenly appeared on his thin as snow cheeks:

"What do you mean, this repository in Sling Court can be opened to us once for free?"

"That's almost what it means." Si Qingxuan nodded, "However, it sounds like Si Ling Ge has such a precedent?"

"Yes, but very few, almost only open to high-level awakened people who have made great contributions." Gu Kai whispered, "In Si Linge, this is almost an extremely high reward."

"There are no rewards, I just hope everyone can get out alive." Si Qingxuan said, "There are not many of us anyway."

Most of the relics stored in this repository in Chongning City are all kinds of relics (referring to the remains and relics of various high-level awakened people and various high-level disasters), which are valuable, priceless, and not practical.Even Qiao Luosang would not take this kind of thing away.

Although there will be precious resources, props and the like in it... But, there are not many options to choose from.

But even so, Si Qingxuan spoke, they can use most of the props in the storage at will, which is already very rare.

"But, Young Master, do you know how to open this storage room?" Qiao Luosang asked.

"I don't know much." Si Qingxuan smiled, "But unfortunately, it happens to include how to open the exclusive vault of Si Linge."

They walked down the tunnel, climbed two flights of stairs, and came to an ordinary door.

It's an electronic lock.

Si Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and entered a few numbers, the electronic lock beeped and opened safely.

When he turned his head, he found that Gu Kai and others had turned their heads away, as if they were afraid of seeing him enter the password.

"Turn your head back." Si Qingxuan said, "This is actually a fingerprint lock. The password is just a decoration, and it's useless to enter anything."

Gu Kai and the others: "..."

So crafty!

Opening the door, they walked into a seemingly endless corridor.

Bang, Bang, Bang.

White lights lit up one by one.

They went into the corridor.The ground is paved with black gold sprinkled marble. When people walk on the ground, they can clearly see their own shadow.

Qiao Luosang was the first to notice that the lights behind them would turn off every few meters they walked.And not all the lights in the distance turned on, only when they got close to a certain light, it would light up with a "clang".

For some reason, when they walked a long way, they still didn't reach the end.

Looking forward, there was a black hole in front of them; looking back, the door was closed at some point, and the darkness rushed behind them like a tide.

They are like the only lighted ship on the sea, floating in the endless night.

"When will we get there?" Markle was the first to lose his temper. He shuddered and said, "It's a bit cold here."

"The temperature here is obviously the same as the outside world." Gu Kai said.

Qiao Luosang sneered: "He is so scared!"

"We'll be there soon." Si Qingxuan said, "We'll be there when the lights above our heads go out."

Markle: "..." How can you walk when the lights are out? !

Before Markle could complain, they didn't know what mechanism they stepped on, and there were two "clicks" above their heads, and the front and rear lights actually went out—he suddenly felt the ground start to move, and then something like It was hanging into the sky—after more than ten seconds, they actually came to a completely strange hall.

Fortunately, there are lights in the hall.

Dim lights, surrounded by a wall in the middle of the room.On the wall is a huge gold sculpture of auspicious beasts.A unicorn is entrenched on the wall, every line of its body is lifelike, its eyes the size of copper bells are staring at the visitors in front of it, its expression is mighty and elegant... as if it will run down the wall at any time.

"Wow." Qiao Luosang said with admiration and admiration, "Is this made of pure gold?"

Si Qingxuan walked over and touched the unicorn's feet.

Qilin's eyeballs suddenly moved—slightly drooping, staring at Si Qingxuan.

"Hiss, it moved—"

"you shut up!"

Just as Markle was about to scream, Qiao Luosang punished him violently.

Si Qingxuan looked extremely calm.

He felt a small gap under the unicorn's feet, so he smiled and stuffed a gold unicorn in the palm of his hand.

Jin Qilin was silent for a moment, and then moved directly on the engraving.It stepped on its own feet, and the long beard on its body fluttered gently with its movements.

Qilin turned his head towards Si Qingxuan, then knelt down on his knees, bowed his head docilely——

"Crack, click", there was a sound of the mechanism, the unicorn was frozen on the wall, and there was no more movement, but the whole wall was like a page that was turned, and a wide gap was opened from the side. the gap.

Si Qingxuan pulled out the Lin Zhi Jin, nodded to Gu Kai and the others behind him, motioning for them to follow.

A few people didn't dare to procrastinate - especially Markle, who didn't even dare to touch the wall with the unicorn, and walked in behind Si Qingxuan and the others.

The back of the wall is empty, filled with various shelves, boxes, and many things covered with similar glass covers.

"The storage is inside." Si Qingxuan walked to the shelf beside him, picked up the record book hanging on the wall and took a look, "You can come here to see the list of stored items in the warehouse, but please remember, there is no Don’t touch things you’ve heard of, try to find something that’s easy to use and suitable for you... Do you have any plans for yourself?”

"...I'm going to find the spinal cord of the evil snake, and the fangs of the poisonous spider." Gu Kai said first, "These materials can increase the hardness of my weapon, and at the same time have a short-term flame poison effect--very suitable for dealing with this fantasy world. weird creatures."

Gu Kai's answer is completely top student's answer.

Qiao Luosang and Markle seem to have a lot of conflicts.Qiao Luosang was thinking about what to choose from in this storage, while Markle was sitting on pins and needles for this empty and cold room, wishing to leave as soon as he finished selecting things.

Si Qingxuan glanced over the record book, and basically determined the location of several remains - most of the collections here are "relics" rather than "remains", probably because the latter is more difficult than the former collect.

But in order to wake up the system, Si Qingxuan decided to start looking at the collection area of ​​"Bones".In case one or two root fragments can be found, it will be more effective than devour talent.

"Let's go separately." Si Qingxuan nodded at Gu Kai, "Come here to gather later."

Holding his sword, he walked to the second floor.

The second floor is much smaller than the first floor—at least the collection can be seen at a glance.

Dim, stale lamps struggled to shine.Si Qingxuan slowed down and looked over one by one.Most of the skeletons are emaciated and have lost all their flesh and blood, but they are still recovering the last moments of their lives in various postures... as if they will wake up from a deep sleep at any time.

Si Qingxuan closed his eyes to sense.

Sure enough, among the skeletons present, the spiritual energy on their bodies had almost dissipated, dotted in every direction in the room like fluorescent lights.

But there are still two groups of aura that are barely glued together.In that bleak glow, shining like a diamond—

Si Qingxuan opened his eyes, walked in the direction he sensed just now, and stopped in front of a huge glass cabinet.

What stayed in front of him was a creature that seemed human but not human.

It was dressed in a luxurious white robe, its eye sockets were empty, its shriveled skin was as hard as armor, and all the flesh of its upper body disappeared, revealing a sternum that expanded outwards, with a gradient color from gray to white.

There is a nameplate in front of the exhibition cabinet, on which is written the origin and name of the collection.

—Its name is "Pale Doom".

The talent held is S-level talent, "Snow Plague".
