Chapter 173 Chase and Dodge

The wind and snow howled.

Apart from white, there is no other embellishment between heaven and earth.

End of the thick snow field.

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

I saw a transparent gloomy ice layer below.

With the eyesight of the two of them, they can naturally see through the ice layer and see a large area of ​​buildings below.

These buildings are all frozen in the ice.

Liu Ping even saw a brand-new steel machine making bird-like soaring movements above the building complex——

Except it's frozen.

"A combat-type...aircraft..." he whispered.

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

"According to the historical records that I know, the Kingdom of Ceylon appeared 100 years ago, and it only existed for a short period of 100 years. It just perished not long ago-there is no record in the book that they developed flying machines... ...they must have brought something from Purgatory, otherwise this level of civilization would never have been possible."

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

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"You saw an incomprehensible frozen world with your own eyes."

"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 did not know about it, and it was not recorded in various books.

--and many more.

When did the Kingdom of Ceylon fall?

two years ago.

Or was it a year ago?

Hell, why is there no detailed record of such a recent history?
perhaps……

The Fifth Expedition was the first official expedition?

Does this make sense?

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

The reason why the border cannot continue to move forward at the moment is because beyond each border, there are all unknown things, harsh eternal night environment, and dangerous relics.

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

Compared with those sleepers who are on other borders, this place does not have the qualifications for priority investigation 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 emblem of the polymath, but found that the emblem did not move at all.

Outside of the Empire, it cannot be linked to the Order of War.

Zhao Chanyi suddenly frowned and said:

"That horrible guy is still chasing him."

"It's really persistent. We've already used all kinds of escapism and distanced ourselves several times. Why is it chasing us so hard?" Liu Ping murmured.

His eyes turned to the void.

Lines of burning small characters have already surfaced there:

"Your life fluctuations have been locked."

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

— quite tricky.

Liu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking seriously about the countermeasures.

"It chases you so persistently, is it because you are a healer?" Zhao Chanyi asked, tilting her head.

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

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

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

"Why?" Zhao Chanyi asked puzzled.

"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, such as the religion in its hands is about to occupy a place in the empire, If I were it, I wouldn't have so much time to look for an ant." Liu Ping said.

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

"I took over the task of the Fifth Expedition and started to investigate the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon again."

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

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

"This is already the end of the ruins. Going 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 Ping said. .

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

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

"Prepare for me?" Liu Ping asked subconsciously.

"correct."

Zhao Chanyi took out a string of copper coins, a pill stove, a pot, a formation plate, several bundles of blank talismans and talisman pens from the storage bag.

"There are too many things needed for the refining tool. In fact, I have brought them too. If you want them, I will take them out again." She said.

Liu Ping glanced over each object, and said, "These things can't get rid of it."

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

"what is this?"

Liu Ping opened the suitcase.

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

"It is said that it is a kind of bomb. I found that you like these gadgets that can explode." Zhao Chanyi said.

"Inductive ones are not bad, but these things are useless to that monster, not even its fur." ​​Liu Ping smiled and shook his head.

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

Liu Ping suddenly paused, and murmured:
"Anyway, we are almost being caught up, so let's try."

"try what?"

"The monster must know something, we have to find a way to see what it will do."

……

A black light flew recklessly in the boundless snowstorm.

As if aware of something, it was like a black bat, flashed a few times, and landed in the ruins.

boom--

The flames soared into the sky, and the violent tremors resounded through the sky and the earth.

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 awn was covered with snow, looking somewhat embarrassed,

This kind of attack can't hurt it at all, but it seems that someone is humiliating it, as if to say——

Look.

You got Fooled.

The monster stretched out its pale bone claws, gently pinching a few metal fragments.

"Technology side, bomb..."

It spoke.

next moment.

It seems to have noticed something, and it flies away in a certain direction.

After a few minutes--

boom! ! !
Somewhere in the wind and snow came another violent explosion.

The monster stood in the empty snow field, shaking off the mud and snow from its body.

It kept silent and continued to run to the next sensed position.

Then there was a roar.

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

finally--

The last explosion sounded.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

The wind and snow replaced the tremors produced by the explosion, and once again ruled the world.

The monster stands on the edge of the cliff.

It shook off the flying snow on its body and looked down.

"The induction is broken... Could it be that they entered the ruins?"

It looked around again.

A silver box was opened randomly, and there was an unused bomb inside.

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

These are very common things.

Apparently, 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 polymaths. This time, only a young man can do it?"

No one answered its words.

Fengxue 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.

"I don't have time to waste time with an ant... If he survives by chance, we can catch him when we return to the empire..."

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

On the snow field.

The heavy snow didn't stop falling for a moment.

The things on those cliffs were gradually buried by snowflakes, and they could no longer be seen at all.

10 minute later.

The void suddenly opened up.

The monster landed quietly, looked around, and waved away the thick snow.

I saw that the things that were scattered everywhere stayed in place intact, and there were no new traces outside the cliff or on the snow field.

The monster sensed a few breaths, and murmured: "It hasn't come back, and there is no trace, it really was teleported in."

It flew high into the sky and disappeared again.

After this walk, in the following time, it never appeared again.
