Ark Simulator, is this your photo?

There is no absolution master who will suddenly appear.

But before crossing the border, Li Xia and Shining stopped at the same time.

The sky gradually darkened.

But now, clearly it should be daytime——

"..."

Li Xia raised his head and looked towards the sky.

What appeared in front of him and Shining was a vast cloud of natural disasters, and it was impossible to see the bottom.

"...a natural disaster."

At this moment, Li Xia finally understood why the place near the border is deserted, why there is not even a single figure of the garrison here——

Because of natural disasters.

Because of this natural disaster cloud that is about to fall.

"Walk through now, is it too late?" Li Xia asked Shining subconsciously.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Shining frowned, and she never expected that they would be stopped by natural disasters.

And... it was a large-scale natural disaster that far surpassed any in her memory.

"This natural disaster cloud looks like it's about to fall. It's not right to pass at this time."

Li Xia was silent for a moment.

"If you have to wait, wait until the natural disaster falls, wait until the end of the natural disaster, wait until we can pass through this area... How long will it take?"

"It's hard to say." Shining shook his head.

"It may be half a day, it may be a day, it may be two or three days, or even longer."

Li Xia made a fist with his right hand and clenched slightly.

"Then don't wait!"

"Are you crazy? You want to go directly under the disaster cloud?"

"Then do we have to wait for the natural disaster to fall, and wait for the pursuers to arrive?" Li Xia asked back.

"Don't forget that there is a group of Sarkaz mercenaries behind us, we must hurry up and get out of here."

Li Xia is very clear about one thing.

The Shining might be able to deal with one, two or even more mercenary teams, but this is still Kazdel, and it is still Tracys' territory, and she is no match for four with two fists.

Besides...

"In the face of natural disasters, we are not helpless."

Li Xia raised his hand, and under Shining Ling's surprised gaze, a distant source stone exposed outside the surface suddenly distorted and became larger, turning into a stone pillar in a very short period of time.

This is not the first time he has used Originium skills in front of Shining.

But this is the first time he has shown the principle of origin stone skills in front of the other party.

"This is my origin stone skill. I can 'stoneify' the origin stone and turn it into various 'stone products', whether it is a stone pillar, a stone wall, or a stone house...it can be done. "

Li Xia turned around and looked at Shining, a familiar smile appeared on his face again.

As a candle is being burned, as a torch is emitting light and heat—

"Natural disasters will bring origin stones."

"And I, can let the origin stone block the natural disaster for us."

"Trust me, Miss Shining."

[In the face of natural disasters, you choose to continue marching. 】

【You persuaded Shining to carry the Nightingale on your back. 】

[You start to cross the border, passing under the disaster cloud. 】

[You think, it would be the best if you can pass it smoothly like this. 】

[Unfortunately, your idea did not come true. 】

[Maybe you have exhausted your luck, this time you are not lucky. 】

[When you come to the bottom of the natural disaster cloud, the clouds accumulated in the sky finally begin to explode its power, and the storm begins to sweep. 】

Stone Shield emerged from Shining and the blond girl behind her.

Li Xia walked with heavy steps on the land ravaged by the storm.

"Li..." Shining seemed to want to help, but seeing the storm and torrential rain coming from all directions, she couldn't help but feel powerless in her heart.

How can she drive away the storm without form?

"Don't worry, my body is not so weak that I will collapse after casting a few spells."

Li Xia looked up, facing the dark clouds in the sky, his already fair face looked even paler under the cover of the black clouds.

What appeared before them was a doomsday-like scene.

Strong winds swept in from all directions, rainstorms fell from the clouds, and the dust of Originium particles in the air gradually condensed into a solid form, turning into a rain of Originium stones, and crashing to the ground.

This piece of land is as thin as a piece of paper, and he tried his best to stabilize his body under this terrible natural disaster.

The Shining saw the ground crack and fall apart, and she seemed to hear the wailing from the ground beneath her feet.

Can anyone really resist a natural disaster?

Can anyone really withstand the ravages of the storm?

Have!

The figure of the white-haired boy was walking forward in the storm, no matter the strong wind, the heavy rain, or the rain of origin stones falling from the sky, none of them made him take half a step back.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Every step is very heavy, every step is very slow, every inch of skin begins to have origin stone crystals spreading and growing.

Even so, Li Xia didn't back down.

Even so, the stone shield he built was not damaged at all.

His figure, at this moment, seemed to have grown taller and stalwart.

Dark clouds covered the sun, and natural disasters fell, as darkness enveloped them.

Li Xia in the storm, like a burning torch, exuded an incomparably blazing light.

His flesh and blood turned into the source stone, and the source stone turned into a giant shield, guarding Nightingale who was still asleep and knew nothing about it.

Shining Ling just followed behind Li Xia with Nightingale on his back, staring blankly at the boy's back.

"After that, if there is no torch, I will be the only light."

Chapter 72 After the long night comes the dawn

Lightning, thunder, squalls, heavy rain.

No matter which one it is, it is enough to be called a terrifying natural disaster, and now it is pouring on the land under their feet.

Towering trees taller than a building were uprooted, and several watchtowers also collapsed under the ravages of the storm.

But Shining couldn't feel the slightest vibration of the ground under her feet.

The blond girl on her back was even soundly asleep, with a happy smile on her little face, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Natural disasters, natural disasters.

Even if it is a natural disaster, how can it stop him?

It was clear that there were still black clouds in the sky, and there was darkness all around.

But the boy's body exuded an incomparably blazing light, that sharp and unstoppable radiance like a sharp blade seemed to tear the black clouds in the sky into pieces, as if it wanted to illuminate the night as brightly as the day. Ken give up.

Shining unconsciously began to pray for Li Xia.

One step, two steps.

Li Xia didn't know how long he had walked, or how far he had advanced.

The black origin stone crystals covered his originally fair face, covered his arms, chest, thighs... His bodily functions were almost completely exhausted.

The originally bright torch was also crumbling in the storm, as if it might be extinguished at any time.

Why is there no end to natural disasters.

Why is there no end to the long night.

Why is there no end to the earth.

The boy's pace became slower and slower and heavier.

"Li!"

Shining's pace suddenly quickened, and her tone was full of joy that could not be concealed. She saw the first beam of light falling from the clouds.

After the long night, there is finally dawn.

"There is no need to cast spells anymore, we have already come out!"

Shining stepped forward quickly, about to tell Li Xia the good news.

The boy stopped in his tracks and suddenly became motionless.

It seemed that something had slipped off his face.

Shining's footsteps suddenly stopped.

She saw the white-haired boy's arms begin to fall off little by little like stones.

"Li Xia..."

Shining eyes widened, and she stretched out her right hand, as if she wanted to touch the light.

But it was too late.

light, gone.

The boy's body completely turned into dust and returned to this land.

A letter also fell into the hands of Shining with the wind.

She opened the letter, and it was written by Li Xia.

She thought that it would be the last wish left by the other party.

But no, nothing.

It only records Liz's favorite food, every bit of her daily life, every habit that she may not even notice.

And, the last sentence——

"Don't tell Liz what happened, just say... I went to a far away place, and I will find you again in a while."

Perhaps it was Shining's slightly trembling body that woke up the girl on her back.

Liz rubbed her sleepy eyes, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, just like her mood at this time.

There was a small smile on the corner of her mouth, she thought of an interesting prank just now and was about to carry it out on Li Xia.

But soon, Liz found herself on Shining's back.

"Miss Shining?" Liz didn't see Li Xia's figure, so she couldn't help asking the woman in front of her with some doubts: "Where did he go?"

"He said... he was going to a place far, far away."

"Miss Shining, you must be joking with me, Li Xia won't leave me alone." Liz shook her head vigorously, not believing anything she said.

"..."

Shining just lowered her head, she held the letter in her hand, without saying a word.

Liz seemed to have noticed something from Shining's reaction. She grabbed the corner of Shining's clothes and asked eagerly, "Shining...you talk, Shining! Where did he go?"
