Steel steam and flame

Their identities have been known, and the death of Mousse and Lidion will put a strong psychological restriction on Mavis and others, making them absolutely vigilant. Good opportunities will become extremely difficult to find later, and Cassia knows this. The intensity will increase. Before, the other party didn't know who they were. Now, the intelligence analysis and discussion over the past few days will have some effect on Mavis and the others.

But it was only one point, and Cassia wasn't too worried about it. People who know their information almost always close their eyes, and the rest will not reveal their information. In fact, in the past few days, Cassia himself had thought that there seemed to be no one who knew him except himself. Whether it was the mission of the military school or the period when he left the empire, fighting alone was the norm. There is no one who knows his actual situation at all times.

The pursuit of the five people was not urgent, but it put pressure on them rationally. When the time silently counted in her heart was up, Cassia naturally let the scales on her body disappear, hiding a trace of weakness, and deliberately slowed down a little. Still maintaining speed and agility, Cassia knows his position in the hearts of these people. If there are flaws in the performance, the five people behind him can only take away two more people. If the remaining three want to escape, he will not have enough time. Go in pursuit.

The last pneumatic sword glowed with dark red light, and the map drawn last night was displayed in front of him, and the route increased in length. This dense, gently sloping forest is coming to an end, and the area that joins it is relatively open. After briefly calculating the ammunition left on Mavis and the others, Cassia pulled out the magazine-type pistol. Some opportunities began to appear along the irregular route, but it would not be easy for Mavis and the others to seize them.

The dimmer light became brighter in front, and Cassia increased the frequency of turning back, using bursts to slightly block the footsteps of Mavis and others. More like a tentative attack on each other, Mavis and others completely changed their appearance at this moment, with a sense of unusual stability. They all communicated in code words, and the frequency was very small, so it was difficult for Cassia to obtain the corresponding information.

I can't figure out the opponent's plan, but I'm definitely not waiting for support.

"Looking for opportunities?" Cassia tried to look at herself from the perspective of Mavis and others. If one day she encounters an enemy who is almost the same as herself, how will she deal with it. Thinking about falling into an endless loop in the next moment, Cassia really couldn't think of a feasible way. Only a huge number of people and powerful weapons could put herself at a disadvantage under certain circumstances.

"The numbers are impossible. Even if support comes unexpectedly, low-pitched waves can solve most of them in a few minutes." The thinking has achieved a certain effect, and Cassia has the most basic understanding of Mavis and the others' caution and waiting. Guess, "A weapon with huge power... has no weight, so it is difficult to say it is powerful. Could it be some kind of biological poison that volatilizes rapidly? It disperses within a certain range instantly and damages the target through skin adhesion and infection?"

The sound wave pulse continued to observe the movements of the five people, and could not find a suitable entry point. The inaction of Mavis and others caused the current slightly abnormal balance state.

The sound of running water came from the side. Cassia recalibrated the map in his mind and rushed out of this dense forest area. The surrounding trees became sparse, and vines and shrubs in wet areas proliferated. At this moment, Mavis and Agnes' speed suddenly increased, and they gradually distanced themselves from each other. The five people almost formed a semicircle, firmly locking Cassia's figure in a small area at the center of the circle.

When the five of them walked out of the dense forest, their vision suddenly became wider. The gunfire exploded immediately, and the dark muzzles were all aimed at Cassia's vitals. The light returned to the singularity and converged towards Cassia.

Cassia had already been mentally prepared for this. The bullet passed through the remaining shadow of his place and exploded large vines and low shrubs. The ballistic lines shuttled through the bright light, and the wind created by each shot was like a round air channel, with power like a sharp blade, tearing apart all the fragile plants in its path. The accuracy of Mavis and others gradually improved. They found some patterns in Cassia's movements. They never hit Cassia directly, but the wind tore Cassia's already tattered clothes, and blood stains also appeared on the fairer skin. on the skin. But they didn't think that this might be a flaw deliberately exposed by Cassia.

Cassia increased some speed. It was always a gentle slope downward, and there were unfavorable factors in the terrain. After the route was changed, Cassia needed to lead Mavis and the others into another dense forest to reduce the threat from firearms. Dealing with these powerful blue and silver bullets requires extremely high concentration. Cassia knew that no one could really withstand the power of blue and silver bullets. Every shooting sound was the explosion of a steel-cased bomb, and the recoil was too much for Mavis and the others.

The distance between them and Mavis and others gradually widened, and at the foot of the mountain, a relatively spacious flat land was right in front of them.

I kept thinking about what the plan that Mavis and the others had discussed in the past few days would be. It couldn't be nothing. The opponent has not made any move yet. They should also understand that firearms pose a threat to top surgeons - most of them come from outside their perception and attention, just like Mousse's situation. In frontal combat, only when the number of personnel is large enough to form a network of intertwined firepower that cannot be avoided, can it be possible to hit the top surgeon.

The next round of attacks came immediately, and translucent air channels intertwined around Cassia. But in an instant, like a silent body, a danger signal suddenly came.

The sound wave pulse immediately vibrated at an extremely fast frequency. When his body avoided these bullets, Cassia squinted his eyes slightly, and the cross pupils in his eyes expanded unconsciously, becoming a true blood-red circle. The danger signs were still increasing. When Cassia was thinking about where she had missed something, her body suddenly experienced a state of coagulation.

There was no warning, just like petrification, the stiffness felt extremely real. At the same time, in the sound wave pulse, the five of Mavis launched an attack together at this moment. Almost predicting all the trajectories that were about to be avoided, the wind caused by the bullet changed the direction of the surrounding airflow. Cassia emerged from a gap, and the petrified condensation appeared again.

"Biological poison..., neurological interference direction... It seems that I guessed it right..." The information about the five people was quickly recalled by Cassia. There was no information that one of the five people had this ability. . Let's regard this as a hidden ability. Cassia's spirit left the body the moment after dodging the attack and observed his body, like a thorough scan.

At the moment of stagnation, Cassia felt a sense of emptiness. At that time, he only had independent thoughts, and all signal feedback from his body disappeared, and then returned instantly.

The body gave very little feedback at the moment. After two stagnations, Cassia felt that something in the body was starting to work, deciphering and copying this biological poison that Cassia had not noticed. It takes some time to think about the results.

"It came from those bullets, and the wind that was torn out went to my body. It should have accumulated for a while, but I don't know when it started." While thinking, the third stasis state appeared, and the time became slightly longer. But the danger signal began to weaken at this time, because the body had begun to work, and Cassia could clearly feel the consumption of her own energy at this time.

Slowing down some speed again, Cassia recalled the feeling of stagnation three times before, mixing the real stagnation with his disguised performance. No longer focusing on avoiding the attacks of the five people behind him, Cassia's purpose suddenly became to distance himself from them. Mavis and the others' pursuit seemed to have just begun at this time, and their speed had already increased.

Saint Gerd and Agnes took the lead in breaking out of the arc encirclement and approaching Cassia from the left and right. The communication between the five people changed from almost silence just now to frequent. Although there were two less people in the plan, it was already being implemented at this moment.

There is no pattern to the stagnation state. Cassia feels that the toxicity is easing, but the impact still exists. Reconnecting after the signal disappears takes time to allow the body to regain flexibility and agility. Becoming a little more cautious, Mavis and the others must have considered the actual battle method. The proximity of Agnes and Saint Gerd indeed increased the pressure a lot.

Holding the pneumatic sword tightly, Cassia still interspersed her performance with real stasis. There will always be an end to the opponent's temptation, and then there will be an opportunity, just like Lidion.

There was a stalemate for a while, and the psychological game became the focus of the moment. Mavis and the others relied too much on Zero and past information. The deaths of Lidion and Mousse forced them to be careful. Cassia also fell into the conservative defense of unknown information. Both sides look forward to the other party taking the initiative to attack, and then collect more information in order to seek possible opportunities. But patience is not lacking on either side.

"It will take ten more minutes." The body gave Cassia the result. The influence of the stagnant state is indeed weakening, but the enemies she faces make Cassia have to take the influence of that moment seriously.

Mavis and the others communicated more frequently, and Cassia guessed that there was information on the theoretical reach of biological poisons to the top. After a stasis, Saint Gerd and Agnes finally took action.

The burst of power was like two heavy trucks colliding directly, and the impact was accompanied by a "dong-dong" sound. The afterimage led the two of them to Cassia. The two long swords spread out directly into the air, with translucent arc rings, which were bound to cut off Cassia's body with one blow. On the other side, Mavis, Isabel and Augustus changed their positions at high speed, avoiding the sight and shooting blind angle created by Agnes and others, looking for opportunities to attack.

Cassia held the sword with both hands, deflected the slashes of Saint Gerd and Agnes, and began to accumulate strength in her throat. The sound of the collision was like a dull explosion. After the short impact dispersed, the three of them had to stabilize their arms that were shaking involuntarily due to the huge force of the shock.

Cassia pulled away backwards and raised the pneumatic sword, forcing Saint Gerd to slow down. Agnes approached on the other side and swung his sword out, grazing Cassia's neck and slashing into the air. But at that moment, black scales covered Agnes's body, and the silver-white sword turned into silver flash. In the trembling of the wind, the silver-white sword light directly bent across the sharp angle. Time and the trajectory were retraced, as Agnes stepped forward and approached. Attacked Cassia's neck again. At the same time, the moment the new black scales on Agnes' body pierced the skin, they trembled one by one, causing an irregular rhythm. On the front of her body, from her chest to her ankles, nearly dozens of black scales suddenly stood up, sharp and sharp. The sharp corners flashed with cold light.
