Steel steam and flame

"It's you!" Before Kleist could turn around, his head suddenly stretched forward. The power of Cassia's kick followed his neck and drove his body to fly forward more than ten meters before rolling a few times and stopping. The drowsiness became more intense, and Kleist rolled and crawled, trying to get closer to the heat source in front of him that was approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

There was a series of gunshots behind him, and in the temperature sensing, one of the two heat sources was extinguished before he could take a breath. He quickly turned around, and a piece of snow just shot out and rushed towards his eyes. Subconsciously, he tilted his head and narrowed his eyes to avoid it. Then a huge force came from the side of his head, and his body flew to the side again. When his body stopped rolling, he struggled to sit up, took out the only tactical knife on his body, and tried to expand his perception as much as possible in his groggy mind.

When the temperature perception returned to normal again, the remaining heat source had disappeared, and there was only a blue tone representing coldness around it. Where? Kleist opened his bloodshot eyes, his cross pupils dilated to their maximum size, and scanned the surroundings. The sitting height did not allow him to have a wide field of vision. He was about to stand up when the sound in the snow behind him made him instinctively turn his body sideways and stab the tactical knife diagonally from his arms.

The crisp sound of "ding!" made Kleist tremble all over. He could clearly see that what was being kicked was a frozen leg that had been torn off. His extremely fast reaction ability made him immediately retract his hand, and a shadow fell hard the next moment. "Dong" The snow in a small area around the phantom was lifted by the force, and a white crack also appeared on the ice. Kleist twisted his waist and slashed away with his sword again.

Amidst the clanking sound of steel intersecting, a slender sword blocked the attack path, and then a broken tactical knife blade flew away. Kleist then pushed the ground with both hands and slid to the side. But within a few meters of moving away, the snow on both sides of his head shot out, and his waist suddenly fell forward, as if weighed down by several tons of boulders. The next moment he turned on the light, the house was completely destroyed. illuminate.

"Boom!" But an unimaginable force came from his back, as if it wanted to help him press down on his waist. Kleist's head hit the ice so hard that half of his face sank in.

"It seems that you do need help, Mr. Kleist." Cassia stood on Kleist's back, pressed his swinging left arm into the ice with another kick, and then looked ahead and looked at the big battle ahead. Lizard entangled everyone said. He turned on the switch of the pneumatic sword at this time. Within two or three seconds, the sword body turned dark red.

"Wait! Wait!" Kleist's hoarse voice came from below, but Cassia still swung the pneumatic sword and cut off his right arm entirely.

"I agree to any conditions. It was Varenna who brought the people there. As long as you let me go, I will kill everyone related to that matter when I get there!" Kleist endured the pain. No matter how hard I try, there is a heavy object on my back. There is no way to break free from this position. The squeezing of the body made the damage to the organs more serious, and now even speaking was painful. The impact of that tongue was mostly absorbed by the exoskeleton, but the force that rippled into the body was still huge.

Cassia didn't answer, and shaved off Kleist's left arm with another sword. Then the pneumatic sword fell towards Kleist's kneecap, but this time it was not pulled out immediately. After the sword blade completely burned the bones and muscles and tendons there, Cassia flipped the switch, grabbed Kleist's neck, and pulled it out. He raised it. His knees were still smelling of burnt gray smoke.

"Now you can stand up. It's so easy. You don't need to thank me." Cassia looked at the face full of pain and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. Among the five, I am the only one." I found you to be the most valuable. After all, that big lizard seems to be interested in you because you chopped it."

With that said, Cassia inserted the pneumatic sword into the snow to let the residual heat on it dissipate faster.

"The Leonard family will not let you go." Kleist spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, all of which froze in his jaw. "You can't run away alone. Without that big lizard, I can do it with one hand." Kill you! I'm so sorry, I should have shot you through the head."

"You should feel lucky that you didn't do anything at that time, allowing you to live longer." Cassia took a deep breath to calm down her increasingly excited emotions. He approached the big lizard, observing while responding to Kleist's words, "As for the Leonard family, you don't have to worry about this. I will be dead soon, and they have no chance of finding me. Even if they do, , the result is also disappointing for you. Not only you, but also many, many people know nothing about me. The gap in information is often more fatal than strength. You are lucky, if we meet before the snowstorm, I don’t think I can endure it for so long with my self-control.”

"It seems that my body and mind have adapted a lot." Afterwards, it was more like talking to myself.

While talking, Cassia had already arrived behind the highland. Before Kleist could roar, Cassia pulled out a tactical knife and stabbed him in the throat a dozen times. Protected by the fully covered bones that had not been released, there were only a dozen white marks on his throat, but the huge force still made Kleist's voice hoarse, and the gunshots in front completely covered up his roar of struggle. Go down.

Afterwards, Cassia no longer paid attention to Kleist, who was always present in his own perception. His limbs lost mobility, and the fact that he did not fall unconscious due to the big lizard's tongue attack just now is enough to show his own powerful strength. There is also a strong desire to survive inside. If you are in a coma in this state, in the cold tundra, your body will freeze bit by bit starting from the wound in a few hours.

On the other side of the highlands, Villani and others ultimately failed to seize the opportunity. Without Kleist's control, the explosive scales became the biggest obstacle. Only a small part of the skin on the body was completely destroyed, and the big lizard tried to minimize the damage by moving. And its mouth is almost always closed tightly, knowing that it is its most powerful attack method, but it is also its most fatal weakness. There is no complete success rate. It has always relied on its tail and claws to attack.

The battle quickly reached a stalemate, and the regeneration of the big lizard's scales was terrifying, always resuming after an interval. After cleaning up the second type of creatures, everyone else also joined in the encirclement and suppression of the big lizard. But now the total number only adds up to about twenty people, and in just a few minutes, more than half of them have been lost.

The remaining people seemed more cautious, and there was no gap between cooperation and attack. But it still can't cause obvious damage to the big lizard. A war of attrition was not what Villani and Russell wanted. At the foot of the mountain, with more than a hundred people and well-established defensive positions, they could not save it with piles of bullets.

And the most fatal problem now is that after the big lizard took the initiative to detonate its own scales, Villani and Russell no longer close the distance between themselves and the big lizard too much. The attacks are mainly from long range. There is no chance, and no one is willing to tangle with it anymore.

The explosion coupled with the attack that could not be avoided by being distracted meant that for those of them who had not developed full-coverage bone surgery, there was no chance of being spit out a second time.

At this time, Cassia dragged Kleist to the high ground. After picking up a heavy sniper rifle, he was startled for a moment, then quickly got into the snow and aimed at a person who was walking around and shooting at the edge of the big lizard. .
