Chapter 1572: Ice and Snow Empress?
Leaving the castle, the two returned to a dim, terrifying and eerie environment.
Looking at the gray and white trees around her, Zhuang Xue tightened her clothes and started to move forward with Xiling Chen, there was no goal, no map, she could only move in one direction, maybe she could walk the forest of the undead.
Not long after walking, the two of them left the castle area, the surrounding undead fog became thick again, the field of vision was only more than a hundred meters, there were inexplicable screams around from time to time, and the low roar of wild beasts, all kinds of white bones could be seen everywhere on the forest floor, and sometimes there were even skeletons with blue soul fire wandering.
Xiling Chen and Zhuang Xue have both turned on the tactical eyepiece, and the new equipment has an energy scanning function, which can scan the nearby situation, which is much more advanced than the tactical helmet used before.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded, and both of their detectors scanned the target.
"Left!" Zhuang Xue reminded.
Xiling Chen raised his psionic pistol and aimed it at the direction scanned by the detector, while Zhuang Xue summoned the mecha and directly entered it.
The mecha of the two of them can be loaded into a special storage space, the storage space of Xilingchen's mecha is a black ring, and Zhuang Xue's is a necklace, dripping blood to recognize the master, and it can be summoned directly when needed, which is very convenient.
The undead fog was stirred up, it was a big guy, and Xiling Chen fired directly before the target appeared, because he had already determined that the target was a monster unit through tactical objectives.
The energy weapon was silent, and the continuous firing sent the big guy in the fog tumbling to the ground.
This is a terrifying skeleton creature, without a head, the body is composed of white bones and rotting flesh and blood, the body is inlaid with the heads of various animals and humans, and hundreds of pairs of lifeless eyes looked at it at the same time, making Zhuang Xue can't help but take a step back, Xilingchen saw this kind of monster, and raised his hand to shoot over.
The psionic pistol was so powerful that it directly exploded one of the monster's heads, but it also completely angered the monster.
Zhuang Xue entered the mecha, she directly slashed out an ice-attribute sword qi, and then asked with a trembling voice, "What kind of monster is this?" ”
She had never seen such a strange monster before, and after hearing this, Xilingchen put away her weapon and shouted, "Run, you can't beat it." ”
"Good!"
Zhuang Xue turned her head and ran away after hearing this, without asking why.
The two of them discussed when they left the Doomsday Shelter, if they encountered a strange and dangerous monster, Xiling Chen first attacked from a distance to see the damage caused, if it could be solved, then fight, if the damage was very low, then run away directly, and not entangle with the monster.
Xilingchen used a psionic pistol to blow up the monster's head, but there were no obvious wounds in other parts, and the area around the blasted head was healing rapidly, which showed that the monster had the ability to recover quickly.
This kind of monster is difficult to deal with, and running away is the right choice.
With a mecha, Zhuang Xue escaped quickly, and Xiling Chen could also keep up, he had dark element wings, and he could keep up with it by directly spreading his wings, without the need to arm the mecha.
There was an ugly roar behind them, the two of them didn't mean to turn back at all, in the process of running, Zhuang Xue threw some control magic behind him from time to time, which can slow down the speed of the monster's chase, and I don't know how long it took to run, the monster behind them stopped pursuing, and the two of them found a tree and rested on the tree.
"Whew...... It's terrifying......" Zhuang Xue said as he disarmed the mecha.
Xilingchen nodded after hearing this, he pretended to be a little tired, took out a sip of water from the space ring and said, "It's really weird here." ”
Since it's a disguise, you have to do a full set, don't use mental power scanning, don't let Xiaoling prompt, don't perceive any monster when you encounter it, and decide what to do next with your feelings.
At this moment, a solemn horn sound came from a distance, which made the two people who were resting stand up at the same time.
"Do you hear that?" Zhuang Xue asked.
Xi Lingchen nodded.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
This sound is definitely not made by a monster, it must be an intelligent life, it must be checked over, maybe it is a hint from the survivors, the two of them quickly approached the target, the horn will appear every few minutes, judging by the sound, the target of blowing the horn is in a state of movement, the speed is not fast, and it is not just a blowing, but a dozen people together.
When they were about to reach the target, both of them turned on the stealth function of the nanosuit, so that they could sneak over.
As a result, when they came to the place where the sound came, both of them were taken aback, it was not a survivor at all, but an army of undead, rows of neat skeleton warriors marching on the phalanx, skeleton warriors, skeleton knights, undead knights, creepers, necromancers, and so on.
This is a powerful army, even ordinary skeleton warriors have a complete set of magic armor, this kind of magic armor is only owned by the magician team on the mainland, but here ordinary skeleton warriors have it.
The two of them were more than a thousand meters away from the army, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
As the army of the undead advanced, several huge skeletal beasts appeared, these giant beasts exuded the breath of the dragon clan, obviously with dragon blood, the giant beast carried a throne made of rare ice magic stones, above the throne was a beautiful woman wearing a blue cheongsam, wearing a crown, and an elegant temperament, this woman had a face that captivated the country and the city, and her whole body exuded an indescribable charm, and anyone who saw this woman would have a feeling of wanting to surrender.
"She is!"
Zhuang Xue couldn't help but exclaim, and this sound immediately made the woman sitting on the throne look over.
Xilingchen felt bad, pulled out the ghostly sniper rifle and prepared to attack, but the woman didn't mean to come over, just smiled and looked over, Xilingchen was sure that she saw the two people in the stealth.
The undead legion continued to move forward without any intention of stopping, but one of the death knights left the team and threw out something ten meters away from the two of them, which was a scroll, and after throwing the scroll, a nice voice appeared in Xi Lingchen and Zhuang Xue's minds: "Get out of here quickly." ”
Zhuang Xue was still in shock and did not recover, but Xiling Chen used his spiritual power to transmit: "Thank you!" ”
"Mom!"
Now it was the turn of the woman sitting on the throne to be shocked, and although she didn't say it, the psychic connection let out a cry of surprise.
The woman looked at Xi Lingchen, who nodded at her and smiled.
In the end, the conversation between the two was like this, the army left quickly, Zhuang Xue also recovered at this time, she walked over and picked up the scroll thrown by the death knight, opened it and said, "It's the map, the map here." ”
"Who is she? Do you know? Xi Lingchen asked.
"The Ice and Snow Empress, Chu Qinxuan, is the sister of the current Ice and Snow Empress Chu Xuanning, who suddenly disappeared more than three hundred years ago, but I didn't expect her to appear here......"
"That's right."
Xiling Chen didn't have any concept of the Ice and Snow Empress, just nodded thoughtfully, pretending to know very well.
Zhuang Xue opened the map, there is a very detailed topographic map on it, and there are various marks and explanations, this map in addition to the forest of the dead, there are other areas, according to the map display, there are three areas near the forest of the dead, one is called the poisonous swamp, one is called the Taiyin desert, and there is a fantasy forest.
After studying the map, Zhuang Xue pointed to the poisonous swamp and the Taiyin Desert and said: "There is a passage here, marked as a safe road, we need to go to this area, and then follow the perimeter of the forest of the dead to leave." ”
"Let's go, then!" Xilingchen said.
Originally, Xilingchen planned to take Zhuang Xue out of the forest, but now that he has a map, he doesn't need to lead the way, just look at the map and walk.
The map is very detailed, and the text on it can also be understood by Zhuang Xue, where it is safe and where it is dangerous.
The two of them sorted out their equipment, and then started to move forward according to the map, although they also encountered some undead units on the way, but they were quickly solved, and those who couldn't beat them ran away, and there was no danger.
As a result, when it was almost at the edge of the Undead Forest, the probe received a distress signal, which was the signal of Zhuang Xue's Flame Soul team.
According to the direction of the signal, Zhuang Xue took Xilingchen to support quickly, and in just a few minutes, the two of them found a survivor next to a withered tree, a female warrior wearing silver-white armor, Xilingchen had seen her, with dragon blood, but did not know what her name was, Zhuang Xue lifted her stealth after seeing the other party, and stepped forward and said happily: "Aiya!" Is that you? ”
"Who?"
Aiya pulled out the giant sword inserted in the ground next to her and stood on guard, and was stunned for a moment after seeing Zhuang Xue, and quickly said, "Zhuang Xue? ”
Zhuang Xue nodded: "It's me!" ”
Xilingchen also lifted his stealth at this time, and Aiya said in surprise when she saw this: "You are that little handsome guy!" ”
"Uh......" Xilingchen was a little speechless.
"Are you the only one?" Zhuang Xue was very happy, she finally found her teammates, Aiya was also very happy after hearing it, she nodded and said: "Well, it's just me, and I don't know how the others are, but it should be fine, everyone is very good, don't worry." ”
The two girls hugged each other, and Aiya looked the two up and down and asked, "What's the situation with your equipment?" Found in that ruin? ”
Zhuang Xue opened his mouth to explain: "I and Chen found a doomsday shelter built by an ancient civilization, these equipment were brought out of the shelter, and there are many of them, but they are very dangerous, although there is a map, I don't recommend going back." ”
"Good luck...... "Aiya looked at the equipment of the two of them with envy: "I'm unlucky, I've been around this area until now, not to mention what kind of shelter, even the ruins have not been found, there are monsters everywhere, and I haven't rested." ”
After hearing this, Zhuang Xue took out the map and looked at it and said: "It's not safe here, there may be monsters nearby, let's get out of here first and find a safe place to rest." ”
"Listen to you." Aiya Road.
The magician team has rules, the map and equipment were discovered by Zhuang Xue, so Zhuang Xue has the right to decide, so although Aiya is envious, she is not jealous, the original team of two people has become three people, and they have walked a distance according to the map, and after coming to the safe area, Zhuang Xue said: "Aiya, you rest, we will help you guard." ”
"Good!"
Aiya didn't hesitate after hearing this, found a tree, and then sat down directly against the tree and closed her eyes.
Adventuring in the wilderness, you can't miss any opportunity to rest.
Time passed little by little, and after five hours, Aiya opened her eyes, and the magician did not really sleep, but used a meditation-like method to restore mental energy, which was much more efficient than sleeping.
Aiya, who opened her eyes, looked at Zhuang Xuexi Lingchen who was snuggling up to each other and said in surprise: "You guys? ”
"We're in this together." Zhuang Xue said with a red face.
"Wow, teacher-student love!"
After hearing this, Zhuang Xue smiled and said, "What? Isn't it possible? ”
"No, no, let's go." Aiya said quickly.
Because there is a map, the next journey is very calm, there are almost no monsters, and with the addition of Aiya, the combat effectiveness has increased a lot, Aya belongs to the melee magician, and has dragon blood, very powerful, Zhuang Xue has a mechan, Xilingchen is long-range, just formed a standard adventure team.
"So handsome!"
After seeing the dark wings behind Xilingchen, Aiya gave a thumbs up, Xilingchen's equipment was all black, and with the dark wings behind him, it was the same as the Great Demon King.
When she was on the way, Zhuang Xue said that she saw the Ice and Snow Empress Chu Qinxuan, but Aiya was not very surprised after hearing it, she thought about it and said: "There were rumors before that Chu Qinxuan was not really missing, but was involved in a conspiracy, and now listening to you, I think this rumor should be true." ”
"I'm going to go back and tell Chu Xuanning."
Aiya shrugged: "I guess she should know, after all, it's her sister's business." ”
Three hundred years ago, the Ice and Snow Empress suddenly disappeared, which caused a great sensation, because the Ice and Snow Empress is one of the powerhouses of the Ice Swallow Free Federation, representing the most powerful force in the Polar Ice Region, after the disappearance of the Ice and Snow Empress Chu Qinxuan, her sister was forced to become the new Ice and Snow Empress, and has been investigating her sister's affairs.
Zhuang Xue had been a guard by Chu Xuanning's side, and had a good relationship with the Ice and Snow Empress, knowing that Chu Xuanning had been secretly investigating, and now that she had discovered this information, she naturally wanted to go back and tell her.
Forest of the Dead, and a powerful legion......
According to the situation at the time, Chu Qinxuan should be free, and it seems that she is fighting against something, otherwise why would she control such a powerful army of undead?
Chatting and chatting, the three of them unconsciously came to the junction of the Poisonous Swamp and the Taiyin Desert, the Undead Forest, which, as shown on the map, belonged to the junction of the three regions, and there were almost no powerful creatures.
Xiao Ling was very quiet all the way, and only after arriving here did he speak: "The three forces are fighting, so this environment has been formed, but unfortunately I didn't scan anything of value at that time, there are no divine power facilities here, there is no remnant of divine power fluctuations, and there is not even annihilation power." ”
