Summoner: Recognize Kain as the big brother at the beginning

After picking up the box, Marco Polo quickly fled towards the Suzaku Gate.

Yuxi shouted: "Stop!"

He questioned, "Is it yours? Just take it?"

Yuxi silently said in her heart: "Dizzy!"

Several arcs of electricity suddenly appeared in the sky.

Marco Polo alertly saw the lightning falling and jumped up in time to avoid being dizzy.

Marco Polo smiled and said, "Sir, we are from the same hometown..."

Yuxi was puzzled: "From the same hometown?"

Marco Polo explained: "You are using Western lightning magic, which is a magic that only nobles can learn."

He said regretfully: "But it's a pity..."

"You are no match for my bullets."

As he said this, he jumped up and shot a bullet at Yuxi.

The bullet was so fast that Yuxi didn't even have time to dodge and her shoulder blade was pierced.

Yuxi quickly recited a few words of [treatment].

"The bullet is moving so fast... I can't even see its trajectory..."

At this time, Li Bai heard the gunshot and jumped off the roof to chase Marco Polo.

"OH~" Marco Polo exclaimed in surprise. After dodging Li Bai's pursuit, he confidently said: "All beings are equal before bullets."

Marco Polo kept shooting at Li Bai, but Li Bai waved his hand to summon countless sword shadows, forming a sword formation to block all the bullets.

Yuxi cheered in her heart: "This is the real sword immortal!...This martial arts is so cool!"

Seeing that it was difficult for bullets to break through Li Bai's sword formation, Marco Polo decisively chose to retreat, turned around and galloped away.

Li Bai followed closely behind him, shouting, "Give me back the box!"

Marco Polo responded while running: "Give it back to you..."

He took out the box from his arms and threw it to Li Bai without hesitation. The latter caught it steadily and stared at it.

At this moment, the box suddenly made a beeping sound, followed by a deafening noise. The box exploded instantly and thick smoke filled the air.

Marco Polo snapped his fingers and disappeared into the smoke with a smile on his face.

Yuxi frowned: "What exactly does he want to do?"

So he used his displacement skills, passed through the smoke, and continued to track Marco Polo.

But it was still a step too late. Marco Polo gently placed the box in his hand in the center of the Suzaku Gate, as if activating a mysterious magic circle.

The Suzaku Gate slowly opened, and Marco Polo stood at the door, stunned.

Behind the door was a deep void. A mysterious block was floating quietly, as if it had gathered all the energy in the universe, yet was imprisoned by some force, like a silent treasure in the deep sea.

The symbol above flickered with a faint light, like the mark of a seal.

Ding——Taskbar

Congratulations on exploring Chang'an: 100%

Reward: A lot of experience

Current experience: 20%

Looking at the 100% progress on the system interface, Yuxi said in surprise: "Mission completed!"

Marco Polo expressed his disappointment and regret and said: "Oh, it's a waste of time."

“The ark core was sealed …”

Yuxi came back to her senses from the surprise of completing the mission, looked at the huge sealing array, and thought to herself: "Could this be the core of the Ark?"

After observing it for a while, he felt strange: "Why are these runes so similar to the stones I treasured..."

At this moment, Li Bai finally hurried over and stood there in shock.

Li Bai asked, his voice full of confusion and curiosity: "Are you here for the secret behind this door too?"

Marco Polo admitted calmly: "No doubt about it."

He spoke eloquently, and every word sounded like dust floating out of an ancient book: "Whether it is the mysterious Eastern heavenly book or the ancient Western classic, they all depict the same fascinating legend."

"In ancient times, the gods created a masterpiece with their own hands."

Marco Polo's gaze became distant and profound, as if he had traveled through time and space: "People called it the 'Ark' in awe."

“It can manipulate the course of time. Time is like an ocean before it, and it can sail freely in it…”

After a pause, he said in a sacred voice: "This is the power of God."

Li Bai whispered: "The power of God?"

Marco Polo's eyes were firm: "Yes, the gods are about to awaken! The whole continent will be changed because of this."

He continued: "God is powerful and he will cleanse those who are weak."

"The sea began to change, and his followers appeared in the desert."

"The emergence of the demon species is to respond to God's will and eliminate those inferior beings."

Li Bai was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking, while Yuxi angrily retorted: "Is this a god? I think it's more like a demon!"

Marco Polo looked at Li Bai, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "You are so powerful, join us."

He said with conviction: "When the gods fully awaken, we will all become his loyal followers, and may even become new gods."

Li Bai sneered: "The so-called gods are nothing more than a group of humans who escaped to this continent on the 'Ark'."

"What qualifications do they have to call themselves gods and rule over all life on this land?"

The sword in his hand flashed, and he pointed it at Marco Polo angrily: "Since the demons came because of you, then don't even think about leaving alive!"

The sword was about to touch Marco Polo's throat when suddenly, a loud noise shook the air.

An explosive exploded between the two men, filling the air with smoke, and Marco Polo narrowly escaped.

His voice echoed in the distance: "Alas...it seems that we are destined to become rivals."

Li Bai laughed sarcastically and said, "You are my enemy, but you are not worthy of being my opponent."

Marco Polo's figure has disappeared at the corner of Chang'an City, leaving only silent streets and drifting smoke.

Li Bai glanced at Yuxi lightly, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"you again."

Yuxi was slightly stunned, then revealed a helpless smile: "...I just came out to play, and I didn't expect to accidentally stumble here."

Li Bai raised his eyebrows, as if questioning Yuxi's words: "Oh? Is that really the case? From the look of you, it seems that you don't seem to be afraid at all."

Yuxi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, actually I was scared silly, but... I just didn't react."

As he spoke, he lifted up the corner of his clothes, revealing the clothes underneath that were already soaked with sweat, as if to prove his statement.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing this, Li Bai couldn't help but laugh softly.

He looked at Yuxi again, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He saw that Yuxi was emitting an indescribable light, as bright as a star.

“You…” He spoke softly, his tone full of doubt: “You are standing there.”

Yuxi pointed at herself blankly: "Me?"

Then, he followed Li Bai's gaze and looked at the core of the Ark floating in the air.

He walked over and saw a symbol on the core of the Ark flashing brightly.

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Bai's eyes: "You... are really different."

Yuxi scratched his head, looking confused: "What's going on? I don't know anything."

Li Bai suddenly grabbed his throat, and the cold sword blade pressed against his skin.

Li Bai said in a low voice: "Maybe, I should kill you."

Yuxi struggled, a hint of fear and confusion in her voice: "Why do you want to kill me? I didn't do anything bad!"

Li Bai stared at him, a hint of deepness flashing in his eyes: "This thing has a strange reaction to you, there are only two possibilities."

"First, you possess the mysterious key to open the seal; second, you... are the true master of this power."

Yuxi struggled, with a flash of anger in her eyes: "If I really had this kind of strength, how could I be strangled by you so easily?"

Li Bai's eyes were sharp: "So, you have the key?"

He shouted sternly: "Hand it over!"

Yuxi said aggrievedly: "I...I didn't..."

After struggling in vain, he said resolutely: "If you don't believe me, you can search me!"

Li Bai thought for a moment, then said, "Take off all your clothes and let me see."

Yuxi had no choice but to say, "Okay, but you have to let me go first."

Li Bai let go of his hand, and Yuxi began to take off his clothes until he was left with only a pair of boxer briefs.

He turned around and said with a bit of pride: "See, I didn't lie to you!"

Li Bai looked at his clothes and frowned, feeling a little strange: "What kind of strange outfit is this?"

Yuxi explained: "I'm from the West, and the clothes there are different from here."

In order to prove his persuasiveness, he even said in English: "I am your father."

Li Bai didn't understand and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Yuxi explained awkwardly: "Well... in our place, this sentence means hello."

Li Bai imitated him and said again: "I am your father."

Yuxi was even more embarrassed.

"Hahahahaha."

Li Bai couldn't help laughing and said, "I would say the same thing."

Yuxi sighed softly and glanced helplessly at the core of the Ark, only to see that it had lost its brilliance.

"Look, it's not lighting up." Yuxi said softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Li Bai shook his head slightly, as if he had expected this scene: "Perhaps, it is just a flickering lamp."

Yuxi sighed again, her hands drooping weakly: "I really don't have the key, I don't understand anything you are saying."

Li Bai didn't say anything else, just put away the sword in his hand, turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Yuxi hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and followed closely.

Just as they were about to leave, Li Yuanfang's voice rang out at the door.

Yuxi's heart tightened, and just as she was about to take action, a strong force of nothingness suddenly surged out from the door, as if to swallow up the entire world.

Everyone's movements became stiff in the face of this force, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

Zhong Kui's figure suddenly appeared on the long street, and he slowly floated towards the gate.

As the Suzaku Gate slowly closed, the force of nothingness gradually dissipated and time returned to normal.

Everything seemed like a dream.
