Qin Ze did not take the express military train to Snow City this time.
He was in a hurry.
Because now, his flight speed is much faster than that of a train.
With the added benefit of his ability to Void Traversal, he arrived in Snow City in less than three hours.
This is Big Black's second time visiting Snow City.
As it stepped out of its Shelter Space, snowflakes danced in its face.
Big Black opened its mouth and started biting at the snowflakes, like a crazy husky.
"We've been spotted."
Qin Ze frowned slightly.
The instant he left the Shelter Space, he sensed a powerful mental force secretly observing them.
Qin Ze patted the dog's head helplessly.
I should have known better than to bring you.
The main focus of his mental energy was observing Big Black.
After all, he was a strange beast.
Once outside its Shelter Space, it stands out like a firefly in the night sky.
Big Black whimpered a few times, looking aggrieved, even though it was fine the last time it came.
Qin Ze was a bit overwhelmed; he hated trouble the most.
Then, Qin Ze prepared to make a run for it with Big Black.
The Circus's hideout has shielding Martial Artifact, so Big Black won't be detected there.
However, before Qin Ze could even enter the Shelter Space, a voice rang out above him.
Please wait a moment.
The space around Qin Ze was locked.
At this moment, he couldn't even Void Traversal.
Qin Ze looked up and saw the Saber King, carrying two swords on his back, slowly descending.
"Is the Level Nine Martial Artist guarding the entrance to the Abyss at the edge of the Slacking on the Sidelines Lao Dao?"
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to run into someone I know."
However, the Saber King wouldn't recognize him now, as he had long ago used his Thousand Faces ability to change his appearance and physique.
The development of Human Race martial arts over the past three years has indeed been quite good.
There are so many Level Nine Martial Artist that they could garrison Snow City.
They used to be stationed in Penglai City.
The Saber King looked at the Big Black at Qin Ze's feet, his gaze sharpening.
" Void Beast?"
Sensing the killing intent emanating from the other party, Big Black quickly hid behind Qin Ze, trembling with fear.
Qin Ze said calmly, "This is my pet. It won't hurt anyone and only eats beef."
The Saber King was taken aback.
Good grief, exotic animals can be kept as pets?
Miss Sword Case said to Qin Ze, "This human is very strong, we can't beat him, let's run!"
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
The strong sense of déjà vu made him wonder if a Mist Lord lived inside.
The Saber King drew a sword and said in a deep voice, "I don't care if they're pets or not, exotic beasts are not allowed on the ground."
Now I'm giving you two choices.
"Either I let you kill your pet, or I'll send you and your pet on your way."
Swift and decisive, Lao Dao still has that same work style.
Upon hearing this, Big Black collapsed to the ground; the outside world was truly terrifying.
Qin Ze then inflated his ego, saying, "I was sent here by the Grand Consul to carry out a special mission: to activate a secret weapon."
"You can now contact the Grand Consul; he can verify my identity."
The Saber King scrutinized Qin Ze from head to toe, then took out a communication card.
A moment later, the Saber King sheathed his sword.
"Keep an eye on your pet."
Qin Ze smiled slightly as he felt the spatial confinement around him disappear.
Thank you very much.
The Saber King said in a deep voice, " Snow City has been quite turbulent lately. Leave immediately after completing your mission."
Qin Ze nodded. "I will."
Watching Qin Ze's figure gradually disappear with Big Black in his hand, Saber King muttered to himself.
"Familiar yet unfamiliar."
Am I just imagining things?
What the Saber King didn't know was that the person behind the mask was the brat who had helped him in Pearl City.
Now, the ability to change Thousand Faces can alter not only appearance and physique, but also aura.
A person's complete transformation, both inside and out, is difficult for even Level Nine Martial Artist like the Saber King to detect.
Qin Ze returned to the Circus's base in Snow City, Big Black immediately ran to the corner and lay down.
"From now on, you'll stay here. You're not allowed to leave without my permission."
The Big Black chick nodded repeatedly, like pecking at rice.
With such a powerful Level Nine Martial Artist outside, it hasn't had enough of living yet.
The clones all scattered out to explore the updated Snow City.
Scavenging through trash cans, interacting with new NPCs, doing bounty quests...
In Circus, everyone has their own tasks to perform.
Qin Ze specifically instructed everyone to pay close attention to any news or clues about that alien.
He felt that the matter was not so simple.
Lao Dao is personally stationed in Snow City.
Even from that great distance, he was able to lock onto Big Black instantly.
With such keen mental power, they shouldn't have failed to detect an alien race.
Thousand Faces said in the Local Area Network, "There must be something fishy about this!"
"But with the Son of the Version here, you guys just need to wait to be carried."
At this point, Thousand Faces had already entered the Snow City Inspection Team.
Although it had been three years since she last came, and some of her gray coats had been replaced, Thousand Faces felt right at home when she returned, as if she knew her way around effortlessly.
Qin Ze plans to stay in Snow City for a maximum of three days this time.
Three days later, regardless of whether the "alien" has been found or not, he will descend into the Abyss.
The rest is up to the Scholar.
Compared to "catching thieves," Qin Ze felt that improving his strength was more important at the moment.
The key vibrated, and Qin Ze opened the chat group. It showed that Slacking on the Sidelines had arrived in Snow City.
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: @All members, I've arrived, where are you?]
[ Scholar: I've arrived too]
[ Passerby A: Add one]
[ Ironhead Abiao: Me too]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I won't arrive until tonight]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I'm still in Penglai City, but I've already applied for leave to go to Snow City. It'll be evening by then.]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Let's meet at the usual place tonight.]
Upon seeing this, Qin Ze couldn't help but smile.
The "old place" was the bar where he used to go for orange juice.
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "Three years have passed. I wonder if the price of orange juice has gone up."
" Tongtong must have become even cuter by now."
"And the Dew Duo..."
Qin Ze was filled with anticipation for this reunion after three years.
Miss Sword Case said softly, "I didn't mean to bother you."
"I just want to ask, when are we allowed to find the path to the Land of Origin?"
Qin Ze said earnestly, "Going to the Land of Origin depends on a stroke of luck."
All we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate.
"So it can't be rushed."
"When the time is right, the Land of Origin will naturally summon you."
Miss Sword Case seemed to understand but not quite. "I'll listen to you, you won't lie to me, right?"
Qin Ze nodded. "Of course, we're best friends."
Miss Sword Case lay obediently on my back, remaining silent.
Suddenly, Qin Ze's expression hardened.
An old man sent it.
Less than half an hour has passed.
Moreover, the old man died extremely suddenly, as if he had died suddenly.
"Bring the body back intact."
Qin Ze gave orders to his nearby clones.
"This Snow City definitely has some serious problems."
