Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

The team continued upwards, climbing was a physically demanding activity, but everyone understood that staying on a vertical volcanic wall for a long time was riskier, and they wanted to climb to the upper platform as quickly as possible.

Climbing vertically on a real mountain can be far more difficult than indoor simulation training, but everyone still relies on the command of Ayafara and the extreme realm to move up little by little.

Swoosh~

And Rankopel also threw it up again with a pickaxe with a hook lock, and then the iron wire pulled itself up with a traction, and after turning over lightly, he stood on a raised rock.

Using the combination of iron pickaxes with hooks and wires, this cliff face is almost no different in Rankopel's eyes, and he has had similar experiences before.

If there was an emergency, he could arrive as quickly as possible, and although Rankopel intended to let everyone gain practical experience, he never looked away from them, let alone thought about anything else.

It is estimated that all the operators, including Weis, understood that there were actually two safety cables, one hanging on themselves and one watching them from a height.

"Huh...?"

Everything had gone relatively smoothly before, but when he was less than fifty meters away from the platform on top, Rankopel suddenly felt a stream of heat rushing from the ends of his hair.

Whooping -

almost instantly, a horizontal stream of heat was blown by a strong wind. The sweeping heat made everyone who was climbing the rock have to close their eyes and cling to the cliff to hide.

When the hot wind swept through, the temperature in this area was also rising rapidly, and the heat flow of this horizontal wind wrapped in strong wind was very rare, and suddenly everyone's brains began to heat a little dizzy.

Fortunately, this heat flow came and went quickly, and after only about five or six seconds, the wind speed quickly stabilized, but the temperature in this area soared to just over forty degrees Celsius.

"Everyone left this area a little faster, the temperature has broken through the safety threshold!"

Ayafara is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and the first to urge the team to quickly accelerate up to the platform less than fifty meters away.

"Yay!"

But at this moment, Lena in the team heard an exclamation, and then shouted loudly:

"Mr. Extreme Realm! Your robe is on fire!

Everyone followed Lena's shout, and at this time, black flames of black smoke appeared in the extreme realm, and his robe was completely ignited.

In fact, if it was just hot air, it would not be enough to set the Extreme Realm's robe on fire - but in fact, just now, even the Extreme Realm himself did not notice it, and the back hem of his robe dragged through a small area of hidden magma cracks with extremely high temperatures.

So the very end of his robe was already burning.

It's just that it only burned up a little, but it was blown by the hot air, but instead of blowing out, the wind helped the fire, and the flames suddenly turned up and became a fireball.

It can be said that the extreme realm felt a violent burning sensation in his ass in an instant.

"Hot scald, hot scald-" The

severe pain caused by the continuous burning of the flame is extremely violent, not to mention that the entire body is now suspended vertically in mid-air by the safety rope at this time, and the distance that the limbs and body can move are very limited.

"Mr. Extreme Realm! There is fire extinguishing spray on the side of the backpack! Lena

, who was climbing at this time, was the closest to the extreme realm, less than ten meters away, and she immediately shouted loudly.

"I know... No way......! Not even close! The fire is already burning! Hearing

this, Extreme Realm immediately began to take action, and although his voice was calm, it was still painfully changed by the rushing heat, and more than half of his robe behind him was on fire.

The joints of his shoulders and hands originally had a limited range of motion, and he just found an angle to reach the side and back of his backpack with his hand, but he was directly burned back by the upward flames.

"Mr. Extreme Realm! Hold on! I'll come right away! Lena

, who was closest to him, grabbed the safety cord and immediately began to move sideways towards the extreme realm.

Snap.

Then she quickly twisted her waist and made a very professional turn, and smoothly pulled out the fire extinguishing spray inserted from the side of the backpack with her backhand.

She plans to move closer to help the extreme realm extinguish the fire, and if time is urgent, she will try to throw it to the extreme realm from a distance.

Poof—

at this time, Rankopel also approached quickly from the side.

Because if you compare Lena's movement speed with the flame speed spread on the extreme realm, even if the extreme realm becomes a roast chicken in the fireball, Lena has not yet reached half of the range.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Buzz -

maybe Lena can't see clearly, but Rankopel's vision keenly caught the sudden appearance of a whirlwind faster than the previous hot air on the robe that was burning in the polar realm.

And this whirlwind actually carried a strange magenta.

"What?"

Rankopel was immediately ready to focus on his mind to observe, but this whirlwind flashed away, and the burning robe on the body of the extreme realm was completely wrapped and flew away.

Fortunately, the robe that was draped outside the extreme realm was on fire, and the fire was going outward, and the coat and pants that did not spread inside.

So there was no fire inside, but the position of the extreme pants near the hips was burned a little black... It must have tasted very bad at the time.

"Huh? My robe is gone? "

Extreme Realm himself is also a hindsight to be aware that one second ago was still struggling, and then inexplicably touched his back a second, and only two buckles connected to the robe were now torn off.

Standing on the cliff wall, Rankopel looked surprised, and said to himself:

"... The flames and the robes of the extreme realm are... Disappeared? "

The strange magenta whirlwind that swept behind the extreme realm was extremely fast, very small and accurate, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was aiming for the extreme realm.

It's clear what the trajectory is moving.

But because the speed was too fast, and he didn't expect the flames to disappear in such an incredible way, Rankopel didn't know what that faint pink whirlwind was for a while.

"Will it be some rarer and special feathered beasts...?"

Rankopel thought that the Sharp Cliff Feather Beast he had encountered before had this super sprinting explosive power, passing sideways at this speed on this nearly vertical mountain wall... Apart from the feathered beast, there is almost no second possibility.

"But what kind of feather beast produces this magenta gas? Can you also accurately take away the burning robe of the extreme realm? It stands to reason that most feathered beasts are afraid of fire and shouldn't they dodge?

Rankopel's thoughts were still flowing, but he had seen that Lena had moved to the side of the extreme realm at this time.

Purple and poof-Lena

turned the fire extinguishing spray into a cooling spray and began to cool and empty the heat flow that had not yet dissipated next to the extreme realm, and

asked in a concerned tone:

"Are you okay?" Mr. Extreme Realm? Extreme

Realm had an expression of the aftermath, and his tone was calm with a hint of trembling:

"Haha... Ha ha...... Fortunately, the fire was put out in time, and a few minutes later, my butt would probably be a three-cooked steak. Hearing

this, Lena immediately said to

Extreme Realm very seriously: "Don't force yourself, Mr. Extreme Realm, I have scald cream in my medical bag, if you need it..."

Extreme Realm immediately waved her hand more seriously and said:

"No, no, this is not necessary, I know in my heart, it should be just a little red on the surface, Now that the tingling has been reduced to almost nothing, rest assured. "

Because there was an emergency on the extreme side, Ayafara and the other team members were slowly moving towards the extreme position at this time, and the quenching string even picked up the crossbow with one hand.

"Wow...,"

Ji Jing looked at the quenched string leaning over in surprise and said,

"What are you going to do?" Did an enemy just maliciously throw Molotov cocktails at me? Quenching

said:

"... You'd be mistaken, I just planned to shoot the two locks on your shoulders that connected your robe with a soft-headed arrow and separate the source of fire directly from you. Extreme

Realm suddenly said with a rare trembling tone:

"That... What happens if you hit you in the shoulder?

Quenxian looked at the extreme realm and said,

"If you don't sway like a fallen leaf in the wind, it is basically impossible to hit other parts of your body - even if you really hit the shoulder, it is probably just like being pecked by a feather beast."

The extreme realm suddenly didn't know what to say, there are also many types of feather beasts! Isn't it a large vulture feather? That thing is terrible to peck!

Rankopel gave Extreme Realm a reassuring look.

Knowing the power of the crossbow equipped with quenched strings, this distance is calculated as kinetic energy attenuation with a soft-headed arrow, which will probably only cause a bruise mark on the shoulder, which is much better than being half-cooked.

And if Weiss with his heavy crossbow ... Even if the soft-headed arrow hits the shoulder, even if the extreme realm can save that arm, even if it is lucky, even the powerful kinetic energy can directly tear off his safety rope and blast the extreme realm away.

"So you used your crossbow to help me shoot off the burning robe?" Then how can I say that I have to thank you as a lifesaver..." After

receiving the look handed over by Rankopel, Ji Jing eased his mood, and his tone recovered and said to Quench.

“...... I just said, just ready to.

As a result, the quenching words made Extreme Realm become suspicious:

"My crosshair has just been raised to your side, and your robe is gone—even I look at my hand, whether it pulls the trigger without feeling,

I don't know."

"As a result, I really didn't shoot, but your tunic was just gone."

Not only the extreme realm, but everyone looked at each other after hearing the words of quenching strings, obviously not knowing the specific situation.

"Mr. Rankopel...? What are you looking at...?

At this time, he just tilted his head and looked at the path where the pink trajectory finally disappeared, and was stopped by Ayafara who looked over, hesitated, and replied:

"It's okay... It is possible that the flying feather beast just helped the extreme realm, and helped the extreme realm take away the outer robe. Ji

Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said happily:

"Haha... In the early days, I was in Rem Pitto, but I fed many feathered beasts... Maybe which one or more came to repay the favor..." At

this time, although Rankopel always felt that the feather beast was the only answer that seemed reasonable but always felt a little wrong everywhere, there were no more clues for a while, so he could only leave it at first.

"Okay, if there's nothing to do, let's go up, the platform is probably less than fifty meters away from us."

Rankopel was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
