Chapter 190 (Extra)
Pure white feathers, clean and pure color.
But it's a bit strange. There are no monsters in the salt land, so this feather...
Xia Mo raised his head and looked at the sun that was emitting circles of light-colored halos and the blue sky.
No, no birds flew by.
So this feather didn't fall from the sky, but from... the ground?
This seems to make sense.
Salt is white in color, and the feathers are also spotlessly white. The two are mixed together, and it is difficult to tell the difference unless you squat down and look carefully.
Perhaps she was lucky, as she happened to pass by the place where the feather was lying, and the wind blew up as she walked, so the feather was gently blown up by the wind and finally fell on her forehead.
So why are there feathers on this piece?
Xia Mo, whose sixth sense is rarely wrong, immediately determined that there was a problem here, so he started from his feet and explored in the east, south, west and north directions.
This brings us back to the extremely realistic scene design and five-sense feedback of "Protoss". Every time Xia Mo steps on the ground, she can feel the granularity of salt under her feet, which is fluffy and soft, slightly harder than snow, but as soft as ordinary soil.
This feeling lasted until 1 second ago.
Xia Mo was suddenly stunned, because his foot seemed to be stepping on some hard stone, which was very different from the texture of stepping on salt.
She retracted her right foot, took out her weapon, and used the Star Staff as a club to sweep the salt on the surface to both sides.
Just push it slightly to the sides and a flat blue-black stone slab is revealed.
What's this?
Xia Mo squatted down and covered it with one hand. The cold touch made her palm sting instantly.
She subconsciously pulled her hand back.
The temperature is so low, is there a cellar down there?
Whatever it was, this was most likely where the red dot indicated her.
Worried about affecting the things hidden underneath, Xia Mo didn't dare to use his skills to blow up the stone slab easily, so he had to take out the crowbar from his backpack, stuff one end into the gap next to the stone slab, and start prying!
While prying hard, Xia Mo silently thanked Jeff. After all, without him, there would be no crowbar.
When it comes to getting free tools from NPCs, she always prefers to do it quietly.
Back to the present, she was not a strength-based profession like a warrior, so her hands were a little weak. In the end, she had to use a lot of effort to finally pry the stone slab open.
A dark hole came into view.
This reminded Xia Mo of the deep pit she encountered on the barren planet X198. In that pit lay the cold bones of her parents. So what lay in this hole?
After completely lifting the stone slab, a cold air suddenly emanated from the bottomless hole, making her cheeks numb from the cold.
Just in case, she first drank a bottle of ice resistance potion. After the potion went into her stomach, the numbness on her face disappeared instantly.
She originally planned to fly down on a hang glider, but the cave entrance was too small to accommodate the props that were several meters wide, so she had to climb down instead.
She has kept her climbing tools and used her blacksmithing skills to upgrade them. Ordinary ropes were replaced with steel cables, pulleys and kits were reinforced, and the safety belt was improved from one layer to two layers.
Unless lightning strikes, nothing can shake her high-strength rock climbing equipment.
After fixing the device, Xia Mo held a small flashlight in his mouth, pulled the safety rope in his hand, and slowly lowered his body.
As we go deeper, the space in the cave becomes larger and the colder it becomes. It seems that this is a jar-shaped cave with a small mouth and a big belly.
Xia Mo slid down another three or four meters, and suddenly a feather floated into the beam of the flashlight. It spun in the light, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Then the second, the third... more and more white feathers appeared in the beam of light.
And in this scene that was as numerous as goose feathers, whoosh! A pale face suddenly turned to Xia Mo!
Xia Mo's pupils shrank, and she took off the weapon on her back and was about to defend herself. However, when she looked again, she found that the eyes on this face... were covered with a thick layer of shadow.
The shadows were gray and lifeless, and the white faces were very wooden and expressionless.
Is it dead? Or has it been frozen by the cold air and temporarily lost its life characteristics?
Xia Mo tends to the latter.
The creature was suspended.
Yes, she called it a creature, not a person.
To be more precise, should they be considered angels?
The flashlight illuminated the other party clearly. It had almost the same body shape as a human, the only difference being a pair of huge white wings on its back.
However, the wing had been broken in the middle, and the broken part hung limply below like the hand of a puppet. A lot of blood was flowing from the broken part, flowing down through the gaps between the feathers.
But when it flowed to the tip of the wing, the cold air suddenly hit it, and the blood drop froze at the end, like a blood-colored agate, which was eye-catching and shocking.
It had more than one wound on its body; its entire body was covered with scars, but because of the freezing cold, its body was covered with a thin layer of ice.
The ice surface refracted light, obscuring vision and thus weakening the striking wounds.
Xia Mo's arrival allowed a lot of heat from the ground to penetrate, and soon she found that the ice on its body began to crack and melt...
The water droplets fell under the pull of gravity, plop, plop, hitting the stone slabs at the bottom of the cave like a drizzle.
The echo told Xia Mo that her current position was almost in the lower middle position and there was no need to go any further.
So I stopped at this height and waited for my body to melt.
After waiting for about 5 minutes, the hanging body showed signs of shaking slightly, and its eyelashes, as white as its feathers, trembled slightly.
"Human, you woke me up?"
The gloom in the eyes faded away, revealing the original eye color of the angels, silver.
The sharp gaze that had been frozen for who knows how many years was cast at him, and Xia Mo's heart thumped uncontrollably.
It's not fear, but the natural awe of the human race towards the holy angels in the "Protoss" mechanism.
But Xia Mo controlled himself well and his expression remained calm as always.
"It's me," she said.
His sharp eyes were restrained, and his handsome face, which looked like it was carefully carved, was lost in thought.
"Human, tell me, what year is it now?"
Era? Xia Mo thought of the historical materials of "The Gods".
This is a very ancient term, which appeared before the human race was born.
In other words, this is not a common term used by the human race on the continent of Pergas.
Xia Mo didn't know how to convert the era, so he changed his statement: "The current king of the continent is the 28th. The average time each king serves is 25 years. You can refer to it."
She didn't know any more.
Sure enough, those pure silver eyes flickered, and the thin red lips pursed slightly: "... So many years have passed..."
After he finished muttering, Xia Mo suddenly found that his expression suddenly froze. Although his pair of silver eyes were looking at her, it seemed as if he was seeing through her and seeing farther.
“He’s still alive…!”
An extreme coldness that was inconsistent with his status appeared on his holy face.
Xia Mo met his gaze and asked directly: "Who?"
When Xia Mo crawled back to the salt land from the cave, his cheeks were red from the cold. If it weren't for the ice resistance potion to warm his body, he would have been frozen to death by now.
She blew on her hands, turned around and put the stone slab back in place, then brought over a pile of salt and sprinkled it unevenly on it to create the illusion that no one had been there.
After doing this, she turned around and left the scene quietly.
On the continent of Vazetilan, Ye Zi, who had already launched an offensive against the second clone of the Protoss, suddenly received a private message.
When I clicked on it and saw the ID of the person on the other side, my eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
[Ye Zi: Sister Mo Se~ Long time no see~]
It's indeed been a long time since we last met, Xia Mo thought. Ever since he saw him in the rubber forest when the server was first launched, they have never met in the game again.
The reason why they didn't meet was very simple. Taotao had told her that her parents were divorced, and her mother took her younger brother Ye Zi to the capital star, while she and her father stayed on the Alman star.
At that time, Capital Star had not yet signed a game cooperation agreement with Alman Star, so Ye Zi's account had not been logged in for a long time.
It was not until the Vazetilan and the Pergas continent were connected that Xia Mo heard from Taotao that her brother's account was finally online.
However, the place where he went online was no longer his birthplace, but moved to the continent of Vazetilan.
Xia Mo understood at that time that Ye Zi had become a member of the Vazetilan camp.
But so what?
Playing a large-scale RPG would be boring without faction conflicts.
The only thing Xia Mo didn't expect was that after moving to the capital star, Ye Zi actually became Qi Congyi's disciple.
Who is Qi Congyi?
He is the main person in charge of the Mecha Competition over the years, a former member of the military, and also what Li Zewei calls "the representative of cunning and treacherous."
The fact that such a person could accept him as a disciple shows how fast Ye Zi has grown on the Capital Star.
Of course, she didn't know this originally, and Suibai told her later.
Perhaps this is God's will. Ye Zi became Qi Congyi's person, and Qi Congyi planned a dog-eat-dog drama in the military. Ye Zi conveyed information through it, which not only won benefits for Qi Congyi, but also vindicated her parents.
No one in the entire chain can be missing.
After Han Rantai and others were executed, their son also lost power, both in reality and in the game.
Edie, Arthur, Kingsley and Caroline no longer exist in the continent of Vazetilan. Xia Mo had learned from the forum earlier that their guild had been renamed Night Star Sailing, and Ye Zi was the new president.
Therefore, contacting him is more reliable than contacting other people in Vazetilan.
[Mo Se: To cut a long story short, there are Bosses (Protoss clones) infesting these five coordinates. I hope you can send people over to clean them up [screenshot]]
When Ye Zi clicked on the screenshot and saw the coordinates above, her pupils widened.
He did not reply to Xia Mo's message first, but called a priest from the guild and asked him to replace him first. He ran to a slightly safer place and started replying.
[Ye Zi: We already dealt with the clone at coordinate A last night. Everyone is currently fighting hard at coordinate B, but the results aren't likely to be ideal...]
The clone at coordinate B was discovered too late. The magic circle under his feet transmitted energy very quickly. In addition, the terrain here was narrow, so many players could not get through and were blocked outside the map. This directly led to the players' output not being able to keep up, and the boss's blood loss rate was slow.
If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will wake up completely after absorbing the energy.
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed, and he continued: [I will arrange for someone to go to the CDE coordinates immediately, but Sister Mo Se, can I ask a question?]
Guessing what he was going to ask, Xia Mo said calmly: [Ask~]
[Ye Zi: Are these coordinates... related to the Protoss's main body?]
