Steel steam and flame

I naturally woke up at 9 a.m. in the morning. There was fog and slight wind. The temperature dropped by several degrees overnight. After brushing off some thin ice on her body, Cassia moved her body vigorously, then sat cross-legged on the soft cushion again, and thought about the solution she thought was feasible from beginning to end.

A more powerful impact is needed, this is the idea that Cassia has always insisted on. If there is enough time, Cassia believes that he will naturally enter the third stage at some point. But we can't wait for such a long unknown time, so we can only give the body a signal from other ways to wake up the things lurking inside in advance.

At the beginning of the experiment, Cassia made many guesses about the situation in the three phases. After more than ten days of experiments, he also vaguely understood that other people's experiences had no room for reference for him. At best, it can be used as information to read and understand other people's situations. As for myself, it seems to have no effect on myself.

After filtering many conjectures, Cassia finally chose a direction, and also chose the creature closest to herself as a reference. Of course, the reason why he is in this state has also become an important clue - in the first dream, Sucarius's devouring method, and his self-controllable rejection reaction. Later, the whale method obtained from Lina also became an important factor in changing himself.

It is necessary to start from these three aspects. Cassia took this clue and remembered the information about dragons that he had reviewed in the military school, plus what Sucarius said when he introduced the devouring method - dragons can complete their tasks in advance by devouring their own kind. own growth.

"My current state is similar to that of a young dragon. The difference may only be in form. There are more differences in normal times, but in the scaly state, except for the lack of wings, the appearance is indeed different. In essence, it has very close."

Cassia is ready to try to use the devouring method to complete preparations before a powerful impact. In the scaly state, eight cans of concentrated blood were absorbed, bringing the body's condition to an achievable peak. During this period, as much energy as can be mobilized in the three solid red mercury can be mobilized.

And from the second dream, Cassia roughly guessed that the relationship between giant whales and dragons did not seem to be friends through the scenes seen in that space. Cassia doesn't know whether the two are on opposite sides and there is a balance between them. But judging from the attack methods of the two and the effects of their respective methods, an extremely high-temperature breath can instantly melt the alloy. ; A freezing gas with an abnormally low temperature that can freeze everything in a large area around it in a very short time. If two completely opposite forces are triggered in the body at the same time, can they create the power to break some kind of bondage?

This was the case after I swallowed the red crystal when I went to the uninhabited area of ​​the volcano. The biggest reason for entering the second dream is probably this. Cassia was very sure that it would trigger the third dream, and it was also because she thought of this. He himself hopes so, whether it is a dream or an illusion, he can see some wonderful things. It contains important information. So far, Cassia, who has not come into contact with the strange words that Shake deciphered, does not know the importance of this information, but in a certain period of time, they will definitely have an effect.

After opening all the eight alloy jars and placing them in place, Cassia first entered the scaly state and used her sharp claws to break the scales on each of her hands. After making several wounds, she artificially controlled the wounds not to heal immediately. Still feeling the pain, Cassia took a deep breath. When he exhaled, it was as if he was emptying all the air in his body. The mist in front of his body was blown away, forming several gently rotating small tornadoes.

No longer thinking about other things, when his breathing returned to calm, Cassia inserted his hands into an alloy jar.

The devouring method is activated, and the tasteless blood suddenly emits a strong aroma at this moment. It was an alluring scent that had filled the surroundings unconsciously. There is no need to think about it, the body is like a highly automated machine at this time, and at the wound, there is already a wonderful feeling of concentrated dragon blood entering the body.

The blood in the alloy tank decreased at a visible speed. When the liquid level reached half, a warm feeling first appeared from several wounds on the arm. Just when Cassia thought this was the feeling produced when the wound healed under the blood, the warmth spread from the wound to the entire arm.

A chain reaction was started at this time. The three solid red mercury rods in the abdomen were stimulated in some way. The same warm current centered on them and spread throughout the body along with the blood circulation. When the whole body felt a warm feeling like when basking in the afternoon sun, the blood in the two alloy jars was swallowed up.

When he put his hand into another jar, the devouring speed obviously accelerated a lot with the feeling of warmth. Exhaling white mist from his mouth, Cassia obviously felt that his breathing became much faster, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably, and the speed began to accelerate as the body temperature increased.

The feeling of expansion in the body suddenly appeared when the temperature increased to a certain critical point, so that Cassia had the illusion that she had become huge at this time. The black scales seemed to dry out as the temperature rose. On the cold morning in the mountains, the tightly closed black scales unfolded on their own, emitting wisps of steam that spread to the surroundings.

By the time he finished devouring the blood in the six alloy jars, Cassia's chest could already see violent ups and downs, and the air spurted out was under pressure. The heat continued to rise, and after just a few breaths, the air around him was already slightly distorted. The heated air expanded toward the surroundings, dispersing all the fog around Cassia.

Taking his hands out of the jar, Cassia found that twisted red lines had appeared on the black scales around the wound. In the blink of an eye, the red lines quickly spread throughout the body and gradually began to converge towards the chest. The blood was boiling in the body, and Cassia heard the sound of them rushing in the blood vessels. The feeling of swelling increased to a higher level at this time, as if the body was about to explode, with tearing sensations appearing from everywhere.

Without stopping, Cassia put her hands into the last two jars. In less than a breath, the blood inside had been completely swallowed up. Just as he was marveling at this speed, the red lines formed an orange, palm-sized pattern on his chest. The temperature of the whole body suddenly increased at this moment. In the twisted air, the orange lines on the chest spread out to the surroundings, and then they seemed to be burning. The gathered lines quickly turned from orange to blazing white.

But the strange thing is that there was no dazzling light as imagined, and the blazing white color began to spread towards Cassia's throat. The feeling of wanting to spit something out has never been as strong as it is now. The black scales all over the body were also affected, and the red lines began to increase for a while, so that later all the black was covered up by bright red.

Trying her best to suppress this feeling, Cassia pursed her mouth tightly and stared at her hands silently, but she never noticed that the cross pupils in her eyes had expanded without knowing when, turning completely round and bright red. Colored pupils come.

The blazing white lines continued to saturate the surrounding scales until the entire chest was dyed with this dazzling color. Cassia roared low and activated the giant whale method.

The moment the idea of ​​​​the giant whale method appeared, layers of snow-like white began to replace those red lines, and the temperature began to drop rapidly at the same time. But the temperature difference does not seem to be effectively offset, and two different forces have conflicted. Amidst the crackling sound, cracks instantly spread all over the black scales on the body. Uncontrolled power immediately collided in the body, with light cyan blood splashing out around him.

"Cang!" At this moment, a huge collision sound was like a bell, clear and high, reverberating in Cassia's head.
