Chapter 42 The Mysterious Old Man
The arrival of Ling Ran and the other person certainly attracted a lot of attention.
After declining several invitations, the two found a place with few people.
"I want to see how hard this ice is!"
As she spoke, Wu Linglong smashed the huge piece of black ice hard with her hoe.
“Bang!”
“Ouch!”
The violent recoil force caused the girl to fall to the ground with her buttocks, and the hoe in her hand flew out.
"What the hell is this!"
The double pain in her palms and buttocks made the girl unhappy.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes."
Wu Linglong's embarrassment attracted many people's attention. The girl sat on the ground and glared at them and scolded them.
After picking up Wu Linglong's hoe, Ling Ran pulled her up with a suppressed smile, "Why are you using so much strength?"
"And got a hoe."
As he spoke, Ling Ran took out the small dagger he had just selected from his storage watch and gently polished it on the black ice to demonstrate to Wu Linglong.
"I don't know how long this will last."
Seeing layers of ice chips falling, Wu Linglong was stunned.
There is an effect, but at this rate, it will take only hundreds of years to destroy the black ice that covers half of the city!
"Just find a spot you like and shave it inwards."
Ling Ran chuckled. After all, she couldn't think of any other solution for the time being.
Wu Linglong shook her head and paced back and forth, and she found her target.
It’s just a supermarket frozen in the ice. She also wants to see if the food in the ancient Chinese supermarket is different from the food now. Anyway, at this temperature, it should not deteriorate even if it is stored for thousands of years.
But the thought that I might die of exhaustion before I even get to eat makes me give up.
"Xiao Ran, this thing is really similar to the thing that froze Mo Wen."
Wu Linglong knocked left and right, and finally came to a conclusion.
“It is very similar.”
Ling Ran responded, even doubting whether the glaciers in this world were created by Mo Wen, but he had to kill this ridiculous idea.
It is true that Mo Wen is very powerful, but he shouldn’t be strong enough to influence the entire world, right?
However, Ling Ran also had an idea. While Wu Linglong attracted most people's attention, he quietly condensed the Hanbing Jue true qi in the palm of his hand and touched the black ice.
Fortunately, Ling Ran had a strong mental state to deal with what happened next, otherwise he would have fainted.
"It really has something to do with Mo Wen!"
The thousand-year-old black ice seemed to have some ripples on the water surface, and Ling Ran's hand actually reached into it.
“Xiao Ran!”
“Oh my god!”
Wu Linglong was about to give up, but when she saw this scene, she immediately burst into swearing, then quickly covered her mouth, and looked around vigilantly with her big eyes.
"Xiao Ran, what's going on?"
Wu Linglong squatted beside Ling Ran, deliberately using her body to block Ling Ran's hand, and then asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I just try it, and that's it."
"It should be related to Mo Wen."
Ling Ran shook her head. She was also completely confused.
Could it really be that Mo Wen caused the glacier landing?
Surprise, panic, and a little excitement intertwined in Ling Ran's heart.
God knows how many secrets Mo Wen has. I’m afraid he himself doesn’t even know.
"Let's go somewhere else."
"I'll find an opportunity to complete the training mission some other day."
"Then you can play however you want."
After knowing that Ling Ran was a BUG, Wu Linglong felt a lot more relaxed.
She did not continue to ask Ling Ran. This kind of thing did not arouse Wu Linglong's curiosity at all. Anyway, Ling Ran would tell her sooner or later when he wanted to.
"good!"
It was rare for Ling Ran to accompany Wu Linglong in making trouble, so this time he just let her do what she wanted and just had fun.
Walking in the known area that had been hollowed out, Ling Ran was silent in it. Whenever he passed by a tall building, he would go in to take a look.
Eventually, the two of them walked into a village in the city.
Whether it is thousands of years ago or thousands of years later, where there is wealth, there will be poverty.
This urban village is similar to the small mountain village back then, except that it is even smaller because it is wrapped in a forest of steel.
"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely find a house like this outside the circle to live in."
“This is a comfortable life!”
Sitting on the steps under the eaves of this small courtyard, Wu Linglong opened her arms and embraced the void and couldn't help but sigh.
"Um."
Ling Ran nodded in response.
It is very peaceful and suitable for cultivation. You can feel the improvement in your strength in just one day.
The two sat here for a long time until a sudden threat broke the peace.
"who?"
With the help of the Ice Art, Ling Ran's perception became much stronger. As soon as a slight sound came from the room behind him, Ling Ran immediately turned around and stared at that direction with burning eyes.
"Xiao Ran, don't scare me!"
Wu Linglong was frightened by Ling Ran's sudden surprise again, and looked in the direction of Ling Ran's gaze with lingering fear.
Ling Ran was like this last night because of the attack by strange beasts. What about now?
"There's movement."
Ling Ran shook his head slightly, frowned and gestured for silence, then stood up and slowly walked towards the door.
"Are you someone who comes here to slack off like us?"
Wu Linglong tiptoed behind Ling Ran and whispered.
"have no idea."
Ling Ran shook his head again in response.
Gradually getting closer, Ling Ran could even hear the slight breathing sound coming from inside.
After turning his head to look at Wu Linglong who was following closely behind and listening, Ling Ran pushed open the door.
The room was still empty, and dust from the beams was even falling because of the cold wind blowing in from outside.
Covering their noses, the two men crouched and walked towards the inner room.
"Little girl, it's not easy."
The old man curled up in the corner raised his head and looked at Ling Ran and the others with a smile, then spoke first.
"A person with healing abilities?"
Then the old man's eyes lit up and he tried to struggle, but this only increased the burden on his body.
“Cough cough cough!”
After a few violent coughs, blood mixed with minced meat spurted out of the old man's mouth.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."
Seeing Wu Linglong taking a few steps back in fear, the old man spoke hurriedly.
He couldn't let the chance of survival slip away from him.
"Who are you?"
After adjusting his mindset and making sure that the old man in front of him had no fighting ability, Ling Ran asked coldly.
If he was a wounded soldier in the base, he couldn't be hiding here. At his age, he was not qualified to be a mentor from various universities.
Judging from the deep scratches on his body, he should have participated in last night's battle. It is more likely that it was because of him that those eagle-like beasts came to this base.
"I can't see through you."
"You are indeed not simple."
The old man looked at Ling Ran deeply again, with admiration on his face.
