Steel steam and flame

The increase in strength, speed and reflexes was completely expected by Cassia. It can be regarded as the most direct foundation. On top of this, with combat experience and skills, as well as subtle control over them, high amplification effects can be achieved in the future. After all, the head is still the most critical in most battles, although Cassia knows that for a long time recently, the enemies she faces do not need to use any other strategies to deal with them.

By the time I finished testing various data in normal conditions, it was already evening. Many items are measured repeatedly in order to obtain a number that is closest to the true value. The values ​​of the extreme state are also recorded, and Cassia strives to have a detailed understanding of the new-born self. The future plans will be faster and faster, the mass production of artillery and shells is also close at hand, and the enemies that may appear in the competition have been arranged by Cassia on the simulation schedule. The focus in the future will be closely centered on this point.

After the surgery reaches the third stage, the growth in strength will become relatively slow. It has been less than three years since I became a surgeon, and the time for assimilation and fusion after surgery will only get longer and longer. The fourth stage is still very far away from him. Cassia understands this, so he will not worry about the staged improvement in strength in the future.

"At present, the ones that are enough to be used and can pose a threat to ourselves, in addition to the large number of regular troops with rational equipment, are some surgeons with the ability to develop special surgeries." But what is the special point, Cassia himself has not figured it out. Biological agents rarely pose a life-threatening risk to oneself, and other forms of surgical development do not pose a threat in the scaly state. Even if there is an attack in the form of high temperature or extremely low temperature, as long as it can be judged, it seems that it can be easily dealt with by relying on scale formation and giant whale methods.

Originally, at the end of the second stage, this physically abnormal body was able to resist most third-stage surgeries. To this day, Cassia understands what position she currently occupies among most surgeons.

"Whether it is the dragon blood that is being swallowed now or the batch that was intercepted from the volcano base in the past, long-term use is not simply the use of consumables. Many of their substances are left in the body, but previous perceptions cannot detect it. them."

At night, Cassia collected a lot of dry leaves and branches and simply spread out a place, lying on it to sort out all the harvest today.

"The increase in weight is both a benefit and a disadvantage. Using a cold weapon like the second-generation Holy Sword or a pneumatic weapon relies on strength and weight bonus. Under the premise that the other party has no knowledge of my own situation, I am often the first to win. A single attack can defeat most surgeons. Most of the increased weight is concentrated on the bones and corresponding muscle fibers. With the surgical development project of muscle kinking, relying on the hands and correct body posture can allow the force to be transferred to the body step by step. The weight of the heavy object I can bear under my feet may be dozens of tons. After the giant whale method completely blocks the pain, I have truly become a ruthless steel killing machine." He lamented that over time, he has truly become a soldier. The original intention of establishing the school. But many of the reasons are that I am moving in this direction step by step.

But the abnormal weight affected Cassia's flexibility, not specifically in combat. When fighting, weight will often increase the body's sense of stability, which is a positive gain. Except for combat, the negative effects are mostly concentrated on survival, exploration and assassination.

You can still take ordinary limousines, but you will often receive strange looks. She started very early, and when she went to restaurants and hotels, Kasiya sitting on the chair could be seen as exercising. The legs will keep exerting force to balance part of the weight to prevent the chair from suddenly collapsing at some point. During investigation and assassination, you must also take off your shoes and rely on the softness and toughness of the soles of your feet to reduce the sound of footsteps.

At the beginning, special shoes designed and manufactured for surgeons could also be used, the type with a hidden dagger. The further back you go, the less useful it becomes. The load-bearing performance is insufficient. Cassia's weight shows that in a simple jumping action, the force concentrated on the shoes at a certain moment will be several times that of other people. Often a single jump will completely destroy the shoes. This is Cassia's current situation.

There are people who want to develop corresponding surgical capabilities in the past. There are such records in the military school database-similar to the soft pads under the limbs of cats. Developed by very few people, a surgical project is better than nothing. Most assassins opt for fine control of dynamics and use all ambient sounds around them to mask the sound of footsteps.

With other problems, such as some buildings with fragile structures, thin walls, trees that are not growing well, etc., Cassia has lost the opportunity to climb them.

This question was quickly put down by Cassia, and he speeded up his time to sort out other information.

"Due to the increase in blood flow rate, the explosive force in a short period of time is more than twice as powerful as before, which is expected. I just don't understand how much the resistance to biological poisons has increased compared to before. Korkvar's nerve agent is not harmful to me. It was fatal, but it still paralyzed me for a while, and I was completely unable to move at that time. There should be a corresponding improvement, and I can test it again after I go back." Remembering the unused vial of nerve agent, Cassia added a need on the schedule What he does is, "The ability to feel airflow has been greatly improved due to perception. I can more accurately grasp the subtle airflow directions around me. After doing some training, maybe I can quickly become a better sniper?"

"So far, I have injected and swallowed a lot of dragon blood. Although I don't know the proportion of substances in the blood, it must also contain some ultimate metal components. Their destination should be their own bones. In the past, pneumatic weapons could not directly cut off my bones in the first place, but in this current state, their toughness should also be enhanced accordingly."

When thinking about how to test, the initial idea is to let Waters buy different grades of alloys, use pneumatic weapons and the second-generation holy sword as tools, and compare the experiments on his own hand bones. After adding it to the schedule, Cassia began to focus on recording the next information.

Sonic pulse and low-pitched wave attack methods are currently the two abilities Cassia uses most. It is important, and it is also an ability that Cassia has been thinking of various ways to improve.

During the three-stage surgery, Cassia's biggest feeling was that the sound wave pulses seemed to be integrated with her own perception to a certain extent. It is no longer as deliberate as before. It is as if it is your own cognition. When you see a cup, you know it is a cup. You don't need to think more to search for what it is in your head. It's just that the range of this sound wave pulse is less than a hundred meters, which coincides with the range of perception usually scattered around.

What is more surprising is that when actively using sonic pulses, the limit range does not increase significantly. The radius of about six thousand meters seems to be a bottleneck area, and Cassia is happy to be like this. During the daytime test, I couldn't control the six-kilometer limit mentally at the moment. There was too much information flowing. The only change is that due to the improvement of spirit, detection within a range of four thousand meters has become very easy, and detection within a smaller range is more accurate. Coupled with the perception of dispersion, some detailed information can be obtained.

Cassia spent a lot of time experimenting with sonic pulses, and like endurance, he found a balance point. The result is four thousand meters, the limit point that can be used for a long time without affecting itself.

As for the low-pitched wave attack, because all the surrounding creatures disappeared half a month ago, Cassia could only compare it with previous memories and conclude that the energy contained in it was indeed strengthened, but there was nothing else.

"For second-stage surgery, the two-minute time should be reduced to a little more than one minute. If it is in the scaly state, the time should be reduced to thirty to forty seconds." The theoretical time value gave Cassia a surprise , this ability to deal with a large number of enemies should have more and more opportunities to be effective in the future.

But this also leads to other problems. The chances of low-frequency attacks being detected will be very frequent in the future. The perception of the third-stage surgeon is enough to detect something wrong before there is a problem with his own organs. If he has the corresponding knowledge reserve, it is not impossible to find a solution immediately. . But it is still practical. The enemy is not from a big family, and he only has three stages of power, nothing more.

"The development of high-frequency sound waves needs to be accelerated. We have been talking about it for a long time, but almost no results have been achieved." On the one hand, Cassia was worried that he did not have time to calm down and exercise. On the other hand, he was also worried about the accumulated things that needed to be dealt with. Feel helpless. It was recorded on the schedule, but Cassia himself was not sure whether it would actually be carried out at the scheduled time.

Regarding high-frequency sound waves, Cassia's current preparations are all theoretical knowledge. Practical applications are limited to detection, and attack methods are very lacking.

She comforted herself by telling herself that there would always be opportunities and time, and Cassia could only immerse herself in this comfort. The remaining branch-like information was quickly sorted out, and after Cassia sorted it all out again, she entered a semi-sleep state.

There are still four days until Delya and others arrive, but there are still many things that have not been dealt with.

On the schedule, Cassia planned to spend a day testing various data in the scaled state, which was a key point. Being able to enter this state without using concentrated dragon blood is like one less restriction. In the future, a series of response levels will also be rearranged in battle.

The remaining few days were Cassia's expected dream. It's unclear whether other people were pulled into the dream like last time, but this is not important to Cassia currently. The scene he saw inside made Cassia think of many things for a while.

Early the next morning, it was already nine o'clock in the morning when Cassia woke up. The thin ice on the surrounding vegetation still has no obvious change. It is not an ordinary form of freezing. It is equivalent to the ice that has been deposited for decades in some cold areas. It will take some time for them to completely melt.

Taking off her clothes, Cassia went to a location far away from the camping tent, adjusted her body to a suitable state, and then recalled the feeling of using dragon blood. A tearing feeling suddenly came from all over the body. Looking at his hands, black scales seemed to start from several locations, and in less than a second or two, they had spread all over the body.

Cassia was surprised that the heartbeat and blood flow rate did not increase significantly. After thinking about it, maybe this was a normal manifestation of the scaly state. All the previous characteristics are probably inseparable from the concentrated dragon blood. For example, when a foreign object invades the inside of the body, on the one hand, the body generates its own defense mechanism, and on the other hand, dragon blood may aggravate the degree of rejection after the cross pupils are opened.

Because until now, every time Cassia enters the scaly state through dragon blood, there will be varying degrees of side effects at the end. From the length of the initial period of weakness to the negligible short period of weakness afterwards, it all showed that the scaly state at that time was not perfect.

Forcibly putting the body into an overloaded state like an airship will always cause damage to some parts of the body. It is not a bad idea to view periods of weakness as a process of self-healing ability to repair these parts.

The test items were no different from yesterday. With this experience, Cassia had completed all the tests by four o'clock in the afternoon. It brought me many surprises, and some of them were expected.

Overall, it is a comprehensive increase of 30%. However, as per the initial calculation, the changes brought about by the black scale defense ability are not only defensive. Its main effect is to completely change Cassie's ability in this state. A change in fighting style. The biggest difference from normal times is still this. Not having too many worries can make many things fundamentally different.

The black scales have returned to the exquisiteness of a work of art. After the roughness disappears, Cassia always feels a little strange. But by performing high-frequency sound wave penetration on its own, the black scales at this moment are indeed different from before.

A change at the material level? Cassia thinks so. Two-thirds of the amount of a whole truck, and the concentration is higher than that intercepted by the volcano base. Under these conditions, the black scales can indeed change.

Thanks to his mental improvement, Cassia can control the tail in the scaled state. Changing the basic form is one of them. The barbed tail can change itself into a zigzag shape with scales on both sides. Compared to pneumatic weapons, there is still a big difference between the two. But in the afternoon experiment, Cassia used the memory of Experimental Subject Zero during the Knight Attendant assessment as a basis to try to make red lines appear on the surface of the black scales, and the will drove them to gather towards the tail.

Although he failed and could barely suppress the strong feeling of exhaling, he was able to find a way to continue going down. Breath does not need other things to stimulate catalysis now. Cassia wants to find an uninhabited land to calculate the approximate consumption of breath. The rest, how to control the red lines on the black scales, has become the direction Cassia currently needs to learn.

"Now that I think about it, I was very lucky to be able to fight against Experimental Subject Zero in the assessment without suffering any fatal injuries. Things that I am gradually exploring and learning now, Zero had already mastered at that time. In the past year, , if he makes up for the lack of combat experience and instincts during this period, and puts enough knowledge into his head, he will definitely be greatly improved." Very sincerely, through himself, Cassia determined that at that time, the body of No. 0 He is stronger than himself and has mastered the method of controlling red lines. It's just experience, usage methods and timing, No. Zero is too far away from myself.

Happy New Year to everyone. . . . . . . . . Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
