Infernal Artist

The wind and snow howled.

There is no other embellishment between heaven and earth except white.

The end of the thick snowfield.

Liu Ping and Zhao Chanyi stood in front of a cliff, looking down together.

All I could see below was a layer of transparent, dark ice.

With their eyesight, they could naturally see through the ice and see large tracts of buildings below.

All these buildings are frozen in ice.

Liu Ping even saw a brand new steel machine flying like a bird above the building complex——

Except it was frozen.

"A combat type... airplane..." he whispered.

"——It's an iron bird on the technology side!" Zhao Chanyi said enthusiastically.

"In the historical records I know, the Kingdom of Ceylon emerged a hundred years ago, and it only existed for a short period of a hundred years. It just perished not long ago - there is no record in the books that they developed an aircraft. Things...they must have brought something from purgatory, otherwise they would never have reached this level of civilization."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he gently picked up the snow and sprinkled it towards the deep blue ice below.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared:

"You have witnessed a frozen world beyond comprehension."

"Your role has increased."

"The current scene is 5/10."

——Sequence has admitted that the scenes he saw are a secret.

But people from all walks of life in the entire empire didn't know about it, and there were no records in various books.

--etc.

When did the Kingdom of Ceylon fall?

Two years ago.

Or a year ago?

Damn it, why is there no detailed record of such recent history?

perhaps……

The Fifth Expedition Team was the first official expedition team?

Does this make sense?

In fact, after these years of development, the borders of the entire empire have gradually expanded outward.

The reason why the border cannot continue to move forward now is because beyond every border, there are unknown things, harsh night environment, and dangerous ruins.

The Kingdom of Ceylon was just a corner on the frontier.

Compared with those sleeping people on other borders, this place does not have the qualifications for priority exploration and priority treatment.

——I’m afraid no one thought that this civilization is so amazing.

So the Fifth Expedition was silenced?

Liu Ping took out the scholar's emblem, but found that the emblem did not move at all.

Outside the Empire, it cannot be connected to the war sequence.

Zhao Chanyi suddenly frowned and said:

"That scary guy is still chasing me."

"It's so persistent. We have obviously used various escape techniques and distanced ourselves several times. Why does it keep chasing us?" Liu Ping murmured.

His eyes cast into space.

Lines of burning small characters have already appeared there:

"Your life fluctuations have been locked."

"This lock cannot be released. As long as you are alive, the other party will always be able to sense the breath of life emanating from you and find your location."

- Quite tricky.

Liu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and thought carefully about countermeasures.

"Is it pursuing you so persistently just because you are a healer?" Zhao Chanyi asked, tilting her head.

"No, if every healing profession had to endure this level of pursuit, it would have alarmed the entire empire." Liu Ping said.

"What should we do now? It's better to fight it." Zhao Chanyi said.

"No need...as long as it loses my trace, it will immediately give up this pursuit." Liu Ping said.

"Why?" Zhao Chanyi asked confused.

"Time cost - after all, I am just a level 3 knight who has just advanced, and it is a god. It must have many important things to deal with. For example, the religion in its hands is about to occupy a place in the empire. If I were it, I wouldn't have that much time to specifically look for an ant." Liu Ping said.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Unless I have value worthy of it, then there is only one thing -"

"I took over the mission of the fifth expedition team and started investigating the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon again."

"...Yes, that's the answer."

Zhao Chanyi took out a pill and ate it, then said vaguely: "Then continue to consume it?"

"This is already the end of the ruins. If we go forward, we will cross the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon and enter an unknown area that has no records at all. In fact, it is more dangerous. We'd better find a way to get rid of that monster first." Liu Pingdao .

Zhao Chanyi said: "Before the decisive battle in Wanren Plain, I made all preparations. I knew that if I chose to enter the unknown world with you, I would face various dangers."

She was suddenly startled, took out the storage bag at her waist and said, "Speaking of which, I thought you might be busy with the decisive battle and might overlook some small things, so I made some preparations for you."

"Have you prepared for me?" Liu Ping asked subconsciously.

"yes."

Zhao Chanyi took out a bunch of copper coins, an alchemy furnace, a pot, a formation disk, and several bundles of blank talismans and talisman pens from the storage bag.

"There are too many things needed to refine the weapon. In fact, I have brought it with me. If you want it, I will take it out." She said.

Liu Ping glanced at each item and said, "There is no way to get rid of these things."

Zhao Chanyi patted her storage bag, pulled out a silver suitcase and placed it in front of Liu Ping.

"What's this?"

Liu Ping opened the suitcase.

I saw two rows of twenty metal boxes neatly arranged inside.

"It is said to be a kind of bomb. I found that you really like these explosive gadgets." Zhao Chanyi said.

"The sensor type is not bad, but these things are of no use to that monster and can't even hurt its fur." ​​Liu Ping shook his head with a smile.

"That's right...it seems we have to think of other ways." Zhao Chanyi said disappointedly.

Liu Ping suddenly paused and murmured:

"We are almost caught up anyway, so let's give it a try."

"try what?"

"That monster must know something. We have to find a way to see what it will do."

…

A black light flew freely in the boundless wind and snow.

As if it sensed something, it was like a black bat, flying a few times before landing in the ruins.

boom--

Fire shot into the sky, and a violent roar resounded throughout the world.

After a few breaths, all sounds were once again drowned out by the howling wind and snow.

A deep snow pit appeared on the ground.

The monster covered with a layer of black light was covered in snow and looked somewhat embarrassed.

Such an attack can't hurt it at all, but it seems like someone is humiliating it, as if to say -

look.

You got Fooled.

The monster stretched out its pale bone claws and gently pinched a few metal fragments.

"Technology side, bomb..."

It spoke.

The next moment.

It seemed to have noticed something and flew away in a certain direction.

A few minutes later--

boom! ! !

There was another violent explosion somewhere in the wind and snow.

The monster stood in the empty snow, shaking off the dirt, ice and snow from its body.

It remained silent and continued running to the next sensed location.

Then there was a roar.

In the wind and snow, explosions sounded intermittently again and again.

finally--

The last explosion sounded.

One breath.

Two breaths.

The wind and snow replaced the roar caused by the explosion and once again dominated the world.

The monster stands on the edge of the cliff.

It shook off the flying snow and looked down.

"The induction is broken...Did they enter the ruins?"

It looked around again.

A silver box was opened randomly, containing an unused bomb.

Then there are some trivial human utensils, such as sleds, food bags, water bottles, tents and a set of warm clothes.

These are very common things.

Obviously, this is where the human last stayed, and then he disappeared from here——

Then there is only one answer.

That person really entered the ruins.

The monster murmured: "How is it possible..."

"If you want to enter the time and space here, you must be recognized by the sequence. Last time it was a group of scholars, but this time only a young man can do it?"

No one answered its words.

The wind and snow roared non-stop.

The monster was silent for a few breaths, stretched out its bone claws from the robe shrouded in black light, and pointed towards the sky.

The void opens.

"We don't have time to waste time with an ant... If he is lucky enough to survive, we can catch him when he returns to the empire..."

The monster flew up gently, rushed into the void, and quickly disappeared.

On the snowfield.

The snow kept falling all the time.

The things on the cliffs were gradually buried by snowflakes, and could no longer be seen.

ten minutes later.

The void suddenly opened.

The monster landed quietly, looked around, and swept away the thick snow with his hand.

I saw that the objects that were originally scattered everywhere stayed intact, and there were no new traces outside the cliff or on the snowfield.

The monster sensed a few breaths and murmured: "It has never come back, and there are no traces. Sure enough, it was transported in."

It flew high into the sky and disappeared again.

After leaving, it never appeared again.
