Chapter 379 [Augustine? ! 】
As the group went deeper.
The [fire] that had been dormant for a long time once again exuded the heat of ironing.
This suddenly made Xia En's face light up.
This means that the node they are looking for is indeed deep in the restricted area.
Moreover, the distance between them continues to shorten.
But Xia En was a little curious about the shape of this node.
Obviously, the historical King Xin was not inside the institute when the invasion occurred.
So, what will be the key node of the entire memory scene?
Shane is currently unknown.
But one thing is certain——
That node is likely to be located near the [Eternal Coffin], and may even be the [Eternal Coffin] itself.
"Help, help!"
Suddenly, a cry for help came from not far away, interrupting Xia En's thoughts.
He and Jane looked at each other.
He quickly rushed towards the direction where the cry for help came from.
However, when a group of people arrived at the scene.
But I only saw...
A pale humanoid monster with snake-like fine scales was crawling on a bloody body, seeming to be munching on food.
The creepy chewing sound echoed in the passage.
And heard the footsteps coming from Xia En and others.
The pale humanoid monster raised its head and looked at the group of people.
Although it was a little distorted due to scales and scars, Xia En could still see it at a glance——
That's a human face!
His mouth and nose were dripping with blood, and there were a few strands of scarlet flesh at the corners of his mouth.
It looks extremely ferocious.
But the moment he saw that face, An Bing couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Elder Schumann?"
Upon hearing this name, the humanoid monster's vertical pupils shrank slightly.
His expression seemed to regain a moment of clarity.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss An Bing?"
After confirming the identity of the other party, An Bing's eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.
This elder Schumann was one of her mother's good friends.
An Bing often came to take care of her when she was young.
An Bing has always regarded him as a respectable elder.
However, An Bing did not expect that he would see the other party in this situation.
But that's it.
Xiaowan on the side said.
"Sister An Bing, there is no need to sympathize with him."
"This elder Schumann once massacred an entire village in a remote area of [Great Yan Kingdom], not even sparing the women and children."
"That's when he was sent to the prison of the research institute."
"What?!"
An Bing couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
Such a thing was actually done by Elder Schuman, whom she was familiar with?
Hearing this, Elder Schuman just sneered.
"Yes, I did it!"
"What do you know, you idiot who betrayed your family?"
"In order to drive out the group of outsiders who have polluted the pure [Far North], such sacrifices are necessary."
"Rather, I think I killed too few!"
"...How could it be?"
These words confirmed Xiaowan's statement.
An Bing once again showed a shaken look, feeling that her past knowledge was being destroyed, which she found difficult to accept.
And this time.
Schumann seemed to have remembered something, and strong excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked.
"Since Miss An Bing is here, it means that the patriarch's plan has been successful, right?"
"King Xin is dead?"
"Hahahaha!"
Schumann laughed triumphantly.
"What a wonderful death! After he dies, this [Great Yan Kingdom] will be like a castle in the air, it will collapse soon."
Hearing this, An Bing's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"What did you say?"
"My mother's plan...what is it? What does it have to do with me?"
"...Huh?"
As if he sensed that An Bing's doubts didn't seem like he was acting out, Schumann's laughter stopped abruptly.
This time it was his turn to be surprised.
"How is it possible?"
"You don't know the team leader's plan?"
As if he was stimulated by learning about this incident, Schumann's expression became a little distorted, faintly revealing a hint of madness.
he muttered.
"Impossible...impossible...absolutely impossible!"
"Because you are clearly the most important culprit in this plan."
"What are you talking about?"
"I am... Anzi?"
An Bing was very smart, and she quickly sensed part of the truth from his words, and couldn't help but frown.
she questioned again.
"Elder Schumann, tell me clearly!"
Just now.
The crazy look on Schumann's face became more and more obvious, and he gradually revealed his beast-like ferocity.
"Roar——"
Schumann let out a low roar in his throat, then got down on all fours and rushed straight towards Xia En and the others.
Compared with the previous dragon wolf, he is faster!
It even exudes a unique blood pressure.
——That is the power of the dragon from the ancient dragon.
However, for Xia En, such pressure is not enough!
He also let out a low roar, and the ancient dragon's blood surged through his body.
The tyrannical power and pressure poured out immediately.
On the contrary, Schumann, who lost his mind, was shocked for just a second.
If it were those ordinary [Western Frost Wolves], they would probably have fled with their tails between their legs.
However, the Schumann in front of him obviously no longer even has that kind of rationality.
All that was left in his brain was the desire to kill.
So, he just paused for a moment before rushing forward again.
Boom!
The next moment, Shane's fist collided with Schumann's claws.
There was a muffled sound immediately, causing the entire passage to faintly shake.
There was a hint of surprise in Xia En's expression.
If we say, the previous half-dragon, half-wolf experimental body only had quasi-sixth level strength.
So the Schumann in front of him may have reached the peak of the sixth level in terms of physical fitness alone!
and.
After the fight, there was an extremely cold secret power that continued to seep into Xia En's skin, trying to freeze him.
only.
Xia En's [Secret Power of the Void] is not a vegetarian either.
With just a little movement, this icy secret power was completely removed.
As for Schumann's physique, which is far beyond ordinary people, he is more like a witch in front of Xia En.
It was just that he was suppressed in an instant.
After several fights.
Schumann's body was like a battered rag doll, becoming tattered.
But it has to be said.
The transformation of taboos in the institute indeed gave Schumann extraordinary vitality and self-healing abilities.
Even though his body was broken in many places and his whole body was a little out of shape, Schumann still did not die.
An Bing still wanted to ask Schumann something.
Just looking at his appearance at this time, he seemed to have completely lost the ability to communicate normally.
then.
Xia En simply stopped holding back and prepared to use all his strength to kill him directly.
But just as Shane punched Schumann in the head.
A bronze light suddenly lit up in the eyes of this crazy-looking elder of the "Ice and Snow People". immediately.
Everything around seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Schumann's body moved a certain distance to the side, thus avoiding Shane's fatal blow.
"This is?"
Xia En raised his eyebrows.
He had a feeling that at that moment, the time around him seemed to be frozen.
This allowed Schumann to barely dodge the attack.
This discovery undoubtedly surprised Xia En.
Did Schumann really master a certain amount of time and space?
Even if the power he can exert is extremely small, the time of stasis is less than a second.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
But just mastering the power of time and space itself is an incredible thing!
It's like...
In previous lives, certain countries have mastered the technology of H reactors. No matter how small the reactor is, it still has extraordinary significance.
Also aware of this.
And Jane not far away.
She looked shocked and murmured: "King Xin's research has actually reached this point..."
Even a failed experiment can control some power of time and space.
It can be seen that Xin Wang’s research has indeed advanced to a very deep level.
Maybe...
This is also the reason why the [Truth Society] in history tried to seize the research results.
However, although the power of time and space is powerful, it also depends on who is using it.
After all, Schumann had lost his human sanity and was seriously injured.
The stimulation just now was just an outbreak at a critical moment.
Therefore, after Xia En came to his senses, it only took two or three moves to kill him on the spot.
Looking at Schumann's body, An Bing's eyes were complicated.
The words he just said are still echoing in my mind.
Xia En glanced at An Bing silently.
From the words of this [People of Ice and Snow] elder, it is not difficult to guess——
[People of Ice and Snow] seems to have an assassination plan targeting King Xin.
In the original plan, Dark Ice was a key part of it.
Although I am a little curious about those past events, now is not the time to think deeply.
Obviously.
More and more prisoners have escaped from their cages and are wreaking havoc in this restricted area.
After observing, Xia En learned that the person who asked for help before was an unfortunate researcher who happened to encounter such an accident.
Coupled with the infiltration of the [Truth Society]...
Xia En couldn't help but worry. Can the two legendary strong men stationed in the penalty area really control the situation?
……
……
at the same time.
The restricted area of the institute, the deepest part.
There is an empty and lonely hall.
The temperature here has dropped to an extremely terrifying level.
Ice-blue frost formed on the floor, walls, and dome of the hall.
Ordinary people would probably die of hypothermia within ten minutes just by being here.
However.
It was in this cold hall that two torch-like figures stood.
These are twin brothers who look almost identical.
Similar handsome features like marble sculptures, and the same dark and slender black flame robe.
Only the little black moles located under the left and right eye sockets can distinguish their different identities.
That powerful and fiery aura made it impossible for the surrounding icy secret power to get close to them.
Even at this time, the entire institute was in a state of emergency being invaded.
The faces of the brothers remained calm, without the slightest emotion.
Like a sculpture, it stands in this cold hall.
Because...
The task given to them by King Xin is to guard the [Eternal Coffin] inside this hall!
No matter what happens outside, they must ensure that the [Eternal Coffin] is not captured by outsiders.
And just then.
The younger brother, who had a mole on his left eye, opened his eyes.
"Brother, it seems... there are guests coming."
The elder brother of the two also opened his eyes and looked towards the only entrance to the hall.
There.
An old man with white beard and hair, hunched body and looking extremely weak, was limping over.
His ribs and back were interspersed with dozens of thick iron ropes, and the blood on them had long since dried.
There are even chains on his hands and feet that have almost grown with flesh and blood.
As if he had just walked out of prison.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone could move forward with such a chain.
In comparison, his rickety posture seemed perfectly normal.
Just, seeing this old man.
The elder brother of the two just sneered.
"Guest?"
"No! It's just an old dog that should have died a long time ago!"
After hearing this comment, the old man just laughed hoarsely.
"Yeah, old dog..."
"I am just a shameless old dog who wants to live!"
"But it's better than those officials and generals of the [Great Yan Kingdom] that I killed, right?"
There was strong sarcasm in his tone.
"Oh, by the way, I remember that many people in [Black Flame Walker] also died in my hands."
"Among them...are you two brothers' comrades in arms?"
"I remember, I should have killed their whole family..."
The two brothers did not speak.
But strong murderous intent flashed through their eyes.
"It seems that such a long prison life has not taught you to behave better."
The younger brother said calmly.
"Now that you have broken into this place, you should know what will happen to you, right?"
"No matter what I do, King Xin will not punish me."
"I will let you taste the fear before death!"
At this, the old man sneered.
"If you can do it, then do it."
The old man's words had not yet finished.
The two legendary brothers came to him as if they had traveled through space.
A hand big enough to crush the alloy directly grabbed the old man's head.
"Well done!"
Seeing this scene, the white-haired old man was not surprised but happy, with a sneer on his face that showed a successful conspiracy.
Since he was imprisoned, the cold secret power that had been suppressed somewhere in his body poured out in an instant.
‘This old guy actually hid this trick! ’
The younger brother's pupils shrank, but there was no fear in his eyes.
This level of coldness could only freeze him for half a second at most.
But at this moment.
The expression of the brother not far away suddenly changed.
Because he saw that another figure that he could not see had quietly appeared beside his brother, and slapped it down with a palm.
There was a muffled sound.
The younger brother retreated violently, as if he had been hit hard.
When he raised his head again, a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, obviously he had been seriously injured.
He looked at the sudden appearance of the figure with great fear.
And when I saw that face clearly.
The two brothers couldn't help but shrink their pupils and whispered in disbelief.
"The Pirate King——"
"Augustine?"
