Steel steam and flame

It was hard to imagine what kind of smile the face under the mask would have. Ye Jielin didn't understand the meaning of Cassia's words for a while. But it seemed that it didn't matter whether she understood it or not. She told herself, as long as she knew that the planned itinerary had been canceled in the conversation just now. She had very much hoped that Cassia could make some fundamental changes, otherwise no matter how hard she struggled, if she stayed stuck in the low-lying and muddy waters, no matter how many thoughts she had, it would only make her sink deeper and deeper downwards.

If you are not used to something that is wrong, then you have to step on the heads of the vast majority of people to be able to completely change it. Otherwise, all the efforts may not be as simple as a few words from some people. Moreover, it seems that it doesn’t take more than a few words. As long as the meaning is revealed in the words, there will be a group of people to help you analyze it thoroughly.

The sky was getting dark, and the two of them had no intention of continuing their journey and stayed here. Many people made the same choice. After a short time, on this wide rock and at the foot of the mountain, fires were sparse and spread everywhere. The temperature of the flames made the atmosphere gradually retreat from the coldness, and the exchange of information also began in the light of the fire. The flow spreads.

At the foot of the mountain not far from the rock, a fire rose next to the rock. The light of the fire projected a lonely figure on the gray and black mottled ground. Not long after the sound of "sizzling" ice cubes were being cooked, other people broke into the fire and naturally sat on the side.

The visitor stretched his neck to look into the alloy helmet on the fire, and said regretfully: "I thought I was late."

"It's because I'm late. I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Novia said calmly, "During the whole day tomorrow, thirty-six ferocious creatures may be released at any time, giving us We don’t have much time, Gladstone. How is the investigation going? Also, according to the plan, Christopher should be meeting here.”

"I was just about to tell you about this. On the way to determine Andrew's location, I met Yi from the Hill family. Not long ago, you know, Christopher and Yi are old friends. Let me go first. He wants to talk to Ido. . I think there is no need to worry, Novia, Christopher knows the importance of the matter at hand, and he will not be entangled with Yi for too long. "

"As for Andrew, it was true that he led the formed team to stay at the foot of the mountain at the edge of the center, just as he had received. And, in a short period of time, he relied on his family's supplies to establish a good defensive position there. There is probably some way to attract the ferocious creatures, and maybe I can rely on the established position to help me."

Gladstone leaned towards the fire at this time: "It would be a pity not to use such a powerful fire position."

Seeing that Novia didn't reply, Gladstone looked around and looked around carefully before turning his head and asking, "Did I miss something exciting?"

"Those corpses?" Novia didn't turn her head to the side, looking at the "sizzling" ice cubes in the alloy helmet carefully like a housewife, "I didn't miss it, those were things hanging there before the snowstorm, Lun The Nader family did it. It’s in the past and has nothing to do with us.”

"Leonard family, you said that, I really want to have some impression. On the way, someone said that like Andrew, they chose a location to establish a firepower position. They probably had the same idea as Andrew. This time, no one in their family Without people as powerful as monsters, we can only rely on a few top-notch people to support the face of a family. Just like us."

"Not to mention this, Gladstone, have you noticed anything unusual from this?" He finally turned his head, but with a cold face that could not be melted by fire, "We braved the remaining power of the blizzard on the sixth day. Set off and spread out to explore the location of each target. On my own journey, I also encountered the same situation as you. It was the team of the Astus family. They also occupied a mountain to establish their own stronghold and position. And I wonder if you are aware of a situation?"

"Are the number of peaks in the assessment area?" Gladstone looked understanding. "Unfortunately, they don't correspond. There are thirty-five peaks in total. After getting the map before the assessment, I confirmed it carefully. I I understand what you mean. The Imperial Council's selection of the assessment area is not without basis. It must have gone through corresponding calculations and analysis. Let's assume here that even if thirty-five of the thirty-six ferocious creatures were released from somewhere in the mountain, I don’t think they will gain a huge advantage due to the establishment of their position and position. In my eyes, their advantage is at best that they see the appearance of those creatures earlier than we do.”

"I hope your idea is correct." Novia finally smiled and focused on the boiling ice cubes. It seemed like delicious food. Gladstone couldn't understand her behavior. What is the reason.

About four hours later, Christopher sat injured by the fire, and Novia took out the potion from her backpack and threw it to him.

"Thank you." Christopher nodded in thanks, "I broke a leg. It will take at least half a day to recover."

"What about you?" asked Gladstone, looking at Christopher.

He directly pulled up his clothes, and a wound from his chest to his waist was illuminated by the fire: "Toxic substances are common in the Hill family. We need to go back as soon as possible to let Lillian prepare the antidote. In addition, the information is correct, let's see next What’s the news about the others?”

"Also, I feel that we are not far away, so we need to speed up the time. If we are caught again this time, we will face all of them, as well as the wolf king you mentioned, Novia."

"There's enough time to believe we can get out of this."

At the same time, in an ice cave in the assessment area, Annabell carefully checked the dozen bottles of potions in her hand, nodded with satisfaction, then wrapped them in cloth and placed them at the bottom of her backpack. layer.

"Okay, everything is ready. It's time to rush to the meeting point." Annabell said to the man standing at the entrance of the ice cave. "I don't know how Ernes and the others are doing. I always feel that at some time tomorrow, this will happen." The cold world will become hot in an instant."

"I'm not very optimistic. The people in the Imperial Council have all climbed up from the fighting. I don't think they will have any idea of ​​relaxing the conditions for these nearly 400,000 assessors. Even if it is hot, it still relies on corpses as fuel. A lit fire.”

"Maybe we'll know tomorrow." Annabell said, and left here with the man.

Almost at the same time, several airships hovered above the calm black clouds. Lights of various colors flickered from time to time to show their location. Inside an airship, in the control room, someone was reporting the situation.

"According to the preset program, it is time for each ferocious creature to be inserted into solid red mercury. It is expected that the fastest time to wake up will be around 2 p.m. tomorrow, and we will follow up on the launch of the flare in time. "

"Where's Avalon? Is there any news?"

"The red-tube plane has been dispatched and is now returning. I think it should be able to bring the accurate release time of the thirty-sixth ferocious creature."
