Steel steam and flame

The numbness spread from the blood vessels to the muscles of Cassia's body, with tingling pain inside. This feeling gave Cassia an unreal sense of familiarity. He clearly remembered that the giant whale method had been activated, and the signals related to pain should be completely blocked. And this feeling seemed to bring back Cassia's memories. It was experienced briefly somewhere, but the memory left behind was not very deep. At the same time, Zero's kick was about to touch his chest, and Cassia immediately crossed his hands to block the front.

At this moment, the tingling numbness suddenly increased, and everything in the eyes and voice ripples became slower. Cassia could clearly see that Number Zero's feet were kicking on her hands. The flexible muscles were squeezed by the force, and then the arms began to hit back towards his chest. He could also see another person flying towards him behind him, his body seemed to be suspended in mid-air by a steel rope, and he was also moving towards him little by little.

Further away, the bullets captured by the sound ripples also become extremely slow, and only the ballistic lines left by them can be captured at ordinary times. At this time, you can clearly see the warm warhead spinning in mid-air, pulling out a translucent channel, and flying straight into the distance.

"My thoughts have become faster." Cassia thought when she realized that she was also in a slowed down state. The touch of his skin allowed him to simulate complex airflow directions, and the downward penetrating sound also mapped into his brain the huge ocean currents beneath dozens of meters of ice.

Is it all caused by this feeling? Cassia realized what was different now. The memory continued to go back to the past, and Cassia finally remembered something. This feeling had indeed been experienced, but the state during the experience was not pleasant. It was during a military training mission when he fought against Ovelia who was controlling the armor.

At that time, I destroyed the radiator in the pneumatic sword, causing all the electricity inside to be released in a short time. He was still in a scaly state at that time. After being concentrated by the raging arc, his whole body felt the same as now. While her thoughts were running rapidly, Cassia seemed to remember that besides being hit by an arc, she had another similar feeling within a short period of time. But no matter how I recall it now, I can't clearly recall the specific scene at that time.

At this time, there was also a weak tingling sensation in the chest, and his hands were hit by the force of Zero's kick. Cassia seemed to watch herself slowly leaving the ice from another person's perspective and flying into the air behind. Another person also rushed over at this time, tied his limbs, opened his mouth and bit his neck.

"Whoosh whoosh..." In an instant, everything within the range of perception was accelerating. When the scenery in his eyes became fluid, Cassia found that the feeling just now had disappeared. After taking a deep breath, the sound wave detection image returned to its normal state. The sting suddenly disappeared, and the squeezing sensation from her neck made Cassia instinctively reach out her hand and firmly grasp the head covered with scales and spines in her hand.

At the same time, two more people from the eight people surrounding Novia and others rushed towards the place where Cassia was about to land.

"Get ready!" Ernes reminded in code language that there were still six people surrounding him, and his intuition told him that a signal would come out next, and that would be their opportunity.

In the sight of Novia and others, Cassia was falling in a standard parabola. As if her neck was bitten off by the experimental subject tightly wrapped around her body, except for the fact that her hand seemed to be placed on the head, Cassia remained motionless in mid-air, just waiting for it to fall heavily. The two people who separated were already close, each with their hands open and ready to stab. The cuticles made their nails more like sharp short blades embedded in their fingers.

Novia, who wanted to shoot immediately, instantly felt the gazes of the other six people, which were not affected by the external situation, focusing on him, and tremendous pressure fell on him. In her temperature perception, she could feel the warning and heat in several lines of sight. In addition, she also noticed that Cassia's body temperature was unstable, changing rapidly and irregularly. Is it out of control? Novia thought that the temperature difference was close to a hundred degrees. It seemed that there was no process of heat dissipation in the body, but that the hot and cold were directly canceling each other out.

"Boom!" Cassia hit the ice, causing the snow to disperse. The two separated people immediately swooped forward, hoping to give their prey a fatal blow.

But two loud noises shook out from there one after another. The two people who had just rushed towards him flew back one after another, grazing the surface of the snow. Zero rushed over from one side and swept the area covered by snow with one kick. A black shadow was kicked into the air. Zero was about to pursue him when the air next to his head suddenly exploded. When a translucent air section was formed, his upper body had already bent to the side, followed by the ice layer firmly grasped by his feet. It was also destroyed into pieces by the power transmitted instantly. Zero lost its grip and was unable to stabilize its body, flying to the side the next moment.

Ernes and the others watched Cassia, who was kicked away by Zero, adjust her body posture in the air and land smoothly like a steel pillar inserted upside down. They were not surprised by the layer of black scales that appeared on his body without any light. In their hearts, this was something they thought was natural.

Only the tail swinging freely behind them made them care. Without carefully distinguishing them, at a glance, the faces covered with scales showed that there was no difference in appearance between Zero and Cassia. They both had ferocious faces. The status and appearance of the two were so similar that they had to think of more things. Several people also heard what Zero said to Cassia not long ago.

It's not a long-lost feeling, but the current state is indeed very comfortable. Cassia clenched her hands, grabbed the head that was still biting her neck, and pulled it toward her like a small animal. Immediately releasing his limbs, the experimental subject grabbed Cassia's hand with his hand and tried to break it off, while kicking Cassia with both feet.

As motionless as a mountain, the experimental subject's attack only made him swing up in Cassia's hands due to the reaction force, and could only cause a few cracks in the ice under Cassia's feet.

The experimental subject opened his mouth, and the hot wind roared against Cassia's face. The closed mouth was now open, and Cassia's throat began to vibrate, with a high-frequency roar that countered the roar of the experimental subject, and also caused a piece of snow in this direction to beat.

The roar like a candle was extinguished by Cassia's roar, and the experimental subject was briefly sluggish. When he woke up from the condensation, he had been thrown on the ice. The next moment, Cassia kicked him over, and the body of the experimental subject instantly folded in half, directly hitting a gully dozens of meters long in the snow before rolling to a stop.

The gunshots that broke the air rang out at the same time, and without the need for Ernes to remind them, the roar made the bodies of Novia, Gladstone and others move. As if receiving the order from Zero, the six people still surrounding them turned around and rushed towards Cassia.

No longer waiting, the half-depressed trigger of the modified sniper rifle hit the gun body with a "click". Several air ripples brought up snow mist on the snow around Novia, and thick clusters of dark special bullets were more than ten centimeters long. The tip of the bullet was exposed from the barrel of the gun, and with a sharp rotating wind, it instantly came to the chest of the experimental subject who was kicked away by Cassia.

The sparks tore the black scales into small pieces, and the bullets that entered his body destroyed most of his organs into pieces, leaving only two rows of snow-white ribs covered with scratches.

At this moment, a stream of flames spread out two to three meters from the muzzle, and a dense orange-red death spiral could be seen in the barrel. Ejecting the cartridge case, Novia loaded the sniper rifle again while moving. The six people who rushed over immediately turned around and rushed over. Ernes, Christopher and others spread out to block the front at the same time, delaying them while deliberately approaching the battlefield, creating opportunities for Novia and Gladstone to attack.

Knowing who his enemy was, Cassia ran directly to Zero. The other three experimental subjects stood up and rushed over together. But after all, he is not No. 0. Cassia can fight against them with her body in normal state, and after the scaled state, they cannot be delayed by a single number.

They were just poor experimental subjects used to extract various data, and Torvillest did not invest too much energy in them. In Cassia's view, experience and skills are no different from those of freshmen who have just entered the military school and have great expectations for their first mission after undergoing surgery.

Simply relying on his traveling route and flexible body to dodge the attack, Cassia caught Number Zero, who was also close to him, and trampled the ice with one foot until several pieces protruded. The force caused his figure to disperse from the place, and then solidified again. It has collided with No. 0.

The air was squeezed by the bodies of the two and exploded. After the collision, they each retreated several meters away. Cassia did not take the initiative to attack. After staying in place for a very short time, his body moved half a meter laterally, splashing ice cubes at the original position. At that moment, his body suddenly twisted, and his elbow hit Number Zero's head from top to bottom as he was about to punch him.

The snow mist was generated by the vibration of the ice layer sinking in. Number Zero's body was bent into an arch, and his head buried in the ice layer was brought back to the previous position by his waist. As he moved back, his sharp tail slashed forward.

Amidst the explosion, Cassia blocked it with her tail, and her prepared fist instantly caught up with Zero and hit him in the chest. Immediately following Zero's retreating body, Cassia lifted it up with a claw. The sharp cuticle found the gaps between the closely fitting scales, causing dozens of scales to fall off. The next moment, the fingers came together and stabbed towards the scaleless skin.

When Zero stopped in an instant, a large block of ice that was crushed by force protruded from behind. Cassia's hand was caught by Zero when it was less than a centimeter or two deep. He twisted his body and got out of the way, trying to throw Cassia out.

Cassia believes that she must have spent a lot more time learning fighting skills than Zero. In the past two years, Cassia felt that he had learned a lot of combat-related things in the military school, but very few of them could be actually used in actual combat. Bullets that penetrated the enemy's head from the dark were never practical.

Using the power of Zero to swing himself, Cassia moved his feet and turned more than half an arc. When Zero let go, Cassia grabbed him in turn, pulled him towards him the moment his footsteps landed, and kicked him a few times at the same time.

No. 0 was like paper stuck to the window blown up by the wind. Cassia didn't think that such an attack could cause actual harm to him. The biggest use was to rely on the impact transmitted through the scales, gradually accumulating damage to him. It's just damage to the organs.

Supporting Cassia to jump up, Number Zero swung his tail, forcing Cassia to grab his hand. At the same time, his body was also making crackling sounds, and some of its structures were changing. No longer standing in a standing position after landing, No. 0 lay down on the ice. The bulging bones on his shoulders were the result of the changes just now, which allowed him to get closer to the action mode of the beast. The hands and feet also seemed to have turned into real claws and no longer looked like humans. This was what he learned the most after coming out of the cultivation jar. It was the result of his body's instinctive learning while fighting each other with the second-type creatures.

The next moment, he was suddenly ejected, and the strength of his limbs caused Zero to gain huge acceleration power in an instant. Hitting Cassia directly, the two of them flew out at the same time. Then Zero gathered his limbs, used Cassia as a pedal, and blasted Cassia onto the ice while jumping up.

Zero curled up into a ball in mid-air, spun around in a circle the moment it fell, and slashed at Cassia with its accelerated sharp tail.

Cassia, who moved sideways, looked at the sharp scratches appearing on the ice layer of the narrator, and her pupils contracted slightly. Zero then slapped Cassia on the head with a claw, but Cassia dodged it and only smashed a large piece of hard ice. Just as he was about to retract his hand, Cassia punched her paw directly. Zero turned around and opened his mouth to bite Cassia's shoulder. His fangs penetrated the black scales and sank in, but he couldn't move much forward. Then he shook his head and threw Cassia out.

Cassia held up the ground on the way to let herself land smoothly. In front of her, No. 0 ran over again, even faster than before.

"You'd better learn to control your spirit in this state first." Cassia said suddenly. He closed his eyes and slipped his feet to avoid Zero's flying attack. Afterwards, Cassia turned around, clasped his hands with his fingers, raised them above his head, and the moment he opened his eyes, he slammed it down in front of him, making the air roar. .

"Boom!" Number Zero's mind fell just below where his hands were hammering heavily, and his body traveling at high speed was stopped here in shock. The entire upper body of No. 0 was embedded in the ice, leaving only its legs tilted up and its tail that was twitching feebly.

"Losing your mind is not a good thing." Cassia said her feelings. Instinct can indeed help herself many times, but it is also based on a body that has undergone rigorous training.
