Chapter 537 Crazy Mountains

The blizzard lasted for two days before it calmed down again. At the same time, the plane driven by the maid finally appeared on the other side of the horizon.

"Huh............"

Seeing the maid finally arrive, Duanmu Huai was relieved. Therefore, she came out in a hurry. This time, the maid only rented a light ten-seater transport plane. Although it is not big, it is enough for Duanmu Huai and others. After arriving at the research station and carrying out a round of supplies, Duanmu Huai found Dr. Parmar and stated that they would leave the research station next.

"This............"

It must be said that in the face of Duanmu Huai's request, although Professor Parmar was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised. After all, this is Antarctica, not to mention that Duanmu Huai wants to take Mary with him. To be honest, he really doesn't understand what is so good about taking such a girl to the depths of Antarctica.

This is not a scenic exploration of the primeval forest.

"Although we did have an agreement, dear sir, I still don't understand what you want to do in Antarctica this time..."

"Professor Parmar, do you think that some things should never be excavated and completely disappear from this world?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't encountered a similar situation yet. Besides, our job is to dig up those things that have disappeared from this world and show them to the world again, right?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Of course, if it's just weathered stone, there's definitely no problem."

Duanmu Huai shrugged.

"Well, so what you mean is that there are more than just stones underneath?"

"Hehe..."

Faced with Professor Parmar's inquiry, Duanmu Huai laughed.

"Don't worry, even if it's not now, I assure you that it will be soon."

"???"

After making a schedule, Duanmu Huai and his party soon set off again by plane and headed to the depths of Antarctica.

At the beginning, the climate was stable and the weather was clear. Mary was wearing a thick coat and sitting on a chair, looking at the white snow below anxiously. When she woke up before, she told Duanmu Huai about her dream, and the latter told her that this was the reason why Mary and Xia Li's spirits were resonating. If so, it means that they did not go to the wrong place this time.

In other words, is Xia Li really here?

Mary clenched her fists and stared at the snow field below. She could see a large group of penguins swaying. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely cheer for this, but now she was just full of sorrow, with tension, expectation and even anxiety.

However, not long after, the shadow covered the earth, and the blizzard roared again without warning. The strong wind made the plane shake up and down like a small boat in the waves.

"I, what should we do next, sir?"

Holding the handrail tightly beside her, Mary asked anxiously. It was the first time for her to experience such a strong storm in the air. It felt as if she was about to be swept into the whirlwind and fall to the ground.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter, why rush?"

Duanmu Huai seemed quite calm. If he were an ordinary investigator, he would probably have to make an emergency landing at this time, and then pass a survival assessment, and maybe even set up camp and repair... But he didn't need to go through so much trouble. Just kidding, he is a god of destruction, if he still has to use such an old-fashioned method, it would be too embarrassing.

At this time, it should be...

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai held his cane tightly, stared at the front, and shouted in a low voice.

"Hmph!!!"

"————————！！"

When Mary heard Duanmu Huai's roar, she felt as if she heard a series of rolling thunder roars, so that she subconsciously covered her ears. At the same time, the dark clouds in front of her seemed to be hit by some invisible roaring airflow, and suddenly became clear. In just a blink of an eye, the wind stopped blowing, the rain stopped falling, and the sky cleared up.

"Well... I think my trick is not much worse than Gu Leiya's dragon roar."

Duanmu Huai moved his head, looked at the sunny weather in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he glanced at the system prompt in front of him.

[Deterrence against 'Snowstorm'... Deterrence successful]

['Snowstorm' turned into 'Sunny']

[Climate change successful]

"………………………………"

Well, how to say it? It's OK as long as it works, nothing else matters.

Not long after the dark clouds dispersed, a huge mountain range appeared like a city wall blocking everyone's way. Without Duanmu Huai giving any orders, the maid had already raised the nose of the plane and flew towards the top of the hillside. It was like flying over a series of stone waves. The next moment, the scene on the other side of the waves was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

It was an almost endless maze of neat boulder buildings, made of square arcs and angled boulders. Their buildings are far taller and older than humans can imagine. If there are scientific researchers coming along, they will be shocked just by seeing this scene. However, for Duanmuhuai, this does not represent a new discovery that shocks the world, nor is it a part worth paying attention to. , on the contrary, it just represents a destination for them.

That's all.

"Can you feel it? Where is Charlie?"

Duanmuhuai just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, looked at Mary and asked, and upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the latter also recovered from the shock of looking at the huge and shocking black city in front of her. Then she closed her eyes, was silent for a moment, and stretched out her hand to point forward.

"It should be over there, I have a feeling..."

"Okay, let's go."

The plane passed over the mountains and entered the dark and huge city. The whole city was dead silent, without any sound. The sun shone on these weird and twisted stone buildings, creating phantoms that seemed to be twisting for a while, which was breathtaking. A disgusting creature.

Then, the plane gradually landed in the shadows at a huge, half-collapsed, like entrance to a huge temple. Duanmu Huai opened the cabin door and stepped off the plane in big strides. Mary and Lorena followed him down. Then Duanmuhuai gave the order to the maid.

"Keep hovering and wait for my orders."

"Okay, Master."

After listening to Duanmuhuai's words, the maid nodded, then started the plane again and flew into the sky again, while Mary stared blankly at the surrounding city, as if she was in a trance. It wasn't until Duanmu Huai patted her on the head that the girl woke up from that strange confusion.

"Okay, let's go."

"Ah, okay."

I have to say that walking in such a city is indeed a very strange experience. Mary held a flashlight, stepped on the snow under her feet, and looked around. Completely unfamiliar murals, completely unfamiliar buildings, and words that she had never learned before, all gave Mary the illusion that she was now on an icy alien planet, walking in a city built by an alien race. ………

"Ugh..."

A feeling of dizziness came, making Mary lower her head involuntarily, while Duanmuhuai reached out and patted her back.

"Don't pay too much attention to these things, don't take them too seriously. No matter what these things are, they are just a pile of garbage now."

"yes……………"

"By the way, how about I tell you an interesting little story."

Perhaps walking here was too boring. There were only footsteps and the light of the flashlight in the dark ruins. Lorena and Mary didn't speak. This made Duanmu Huai feel a little bored, so he started chatting.

"I'll tell you how the owner of this place became extinct. You will definitely find it interesting."

"Huh? Mr. Knight, do you even know this?"

"real??"

As expected, when they heard Duanmu Huai's words, both of them were stunned for a moment and immediately cheered up. Duanmu Huai also nodded and continued to talk to them.

"A long, long time ago, when there were no humans on this planet, a group of alien races called the Ancient Ones came to this planet. This group of Ancient Ones...how to say, rough skin and thick flesh, let's put it that way , they can physically shuttle back and forth between the stars and the stars in the universe without using any tools, from one planet to another..."

"So powerful? It would be great if I had this ability..."

Hearing this, Lorena suddenly showed a longing expression, but Mary looked confused.

"Then...why did these ancient beings come to this planet?"

"I don't know. It's probably a vacation. You see, it's too hot at home and you want to find a place to escape the heat, or it's too cold at home and you want to find a place to spend the winter. Isn't it human nature? Then they come When I got here, I felt the climate was good, so I stayed here.”

“…………The weather is good???”

Mary looked around suspiciously.

"Back then, back then, it definitely won't work now."

Duanmuhuai laughed and waved his hand.

"Then, the climate here was so good at that time, so these ancient people felt that it was too comfortable to live here, oh, they didn't want to leave, and then after millions of years... you all know, the ice age and so on Here we are, the weather is starting to get colder, and now the Ancient Ones want to leave...but they can't leave."

"Hey? Why??"

Lorena asked curiously.

"Oh, it's very simple. They have been at ease for too long, their body functions have deteriorated, and they have lost their previous ability to travel back and forth between the universes. This means that they can only be trapped and die on this planet, without There was no way to find other planets, so they were miserable and had to stay here to starve and freeze. Finally, a little trouble happened, and they became extinct. "

Having said this, Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"How about being born in sorrow and dying in happiness? Isn't it interesting?"

"Indeed, you can't neglect exercise!"

Hearing this, Lorena clenched her fists tightly, nodded, and looked very convinced. Mary looked at this and that. To be honest, she had a lot of questions in her mind, but... This should just be a story made up by Mr. Duanmu, right?

After all, according to him, this happened before humans were born. How did he know?

Now all that's left is sweating, coughing, and a little bit of heat...
