Steel steam and flame

The shock wave swept away the pit, and the exposed tree roots almost became fragments in the sound wave, and were carried around by the final explosive shock wave. At this moment, only the rough ground remains inside the pit, which has been compacted a little more.

In the dragon's huge eyes, the blood-red cross pupils became different, and the brilliance had the solemnity of Nichols. The moment the explosion blast dissipated, the dragon rushed forward wildly. Even though its body shape seemed bulky, it was still capable of extremely terrifying speeds due to the dragon's own strength and coordination. The figure is like a moving hill, with the strong wind and oppression surrounding it.

The almost blind angle of sight has always been locked on Cassia. The dragon spanned the distance of several hundred meters between the two. When it approached, it twisted its body, turned around and swept its red-hot tail, pulling out a bright red shadow. At the same time, the wind howled and swept across. As it passed by, the air exploded directly at the tip of its tail.

A patch of ground was leveled, the red-hot blades scratching and leaving ravines. The tree roots in the soil could not act as a hindrance at all, and were broken into pieces under the charred cutting marks.

When the giant dragon turned around, dense bright red lines appeared on the visible black scales. It slightly raised its head and neck, and made a brief retraction movement. Its face was ferocious, and when its huge mouth opened, the bright red lines became alive and gathered toward the chest. Then the dragon's neck was completely straightened, and the air around its mouth was suddenly distorted.

The sound suddenly disappeared in this space at this moment, and a dazzling bright pillar of fire shot out from the dragon's mouth. The moment it touched the air, it directly expanded into a huge blazing white light pillar with a diameter of more than twenty or thirty meters. The white light of the light beam has weight. When it disperses, it forms like a white film that cannot be penetrated by anything. The color of everything within a few thousand meters is completely covered up.

The heated air quickly escaped from this space, and the blazing white light beam moved forward against the ground. Nothing could resist the extremely high temperature. As the dragon's body moved, the light beam swept across a huge fan-shaped area. Wherever it passed, patches of ancient trees were cut off horizontally, and their roots and trunks were directly evaporated. The scattered ashes were pulled in by the adsorption force of the light beam and shot farther away. The light beam extended for nearly ten kilometers, and finally turned into orange-red flames that filled the sky. The high-temperature hot wind expands and becomes a howling wind, carrying ash and smoke to the surrounding area.

After the dragon's breath ended, the giant dragon took a deep breath, and then spewed out high-temperature heat heated by its body temperature. The ground not far away has turned into glass, and ahead, the ground melts, and a small pool of molten material boils, emitting gray-black smoke. In the huge fan-shaped area in front of him, the high temperature caused the ground to crack, turning it into a piece of scorched earth. The ancient trees, whose roots and trunks had been evaporated out of thin air, were still falling in pieces, making loud noises. The fire really started to burn at this time, and the thick smoke rose up, and soon gathered into a huge thick black cloud, floating in the air, slowly drifting to one side with the wind.

"Boom..." without any pause. After breathing out, the giant dragon crossed the small lake of molten material, rushed into the smoke-filled fan-shaped area, and directly covered the ground in front of it with a claw. The air beneath the claws squeezed and exploded, blowing away the surrounding smoke. With one claw, the ground sank nearly two to three meters deep. The surrounding soil spread like building blocks and gravel sprayed out.

In the light of the flames, a black shadow escaped one step ahead. But the giant dragon directly relied on this pressing claw as a support point. Like a skilled athlete, it made a turning movement in an instant while supporting the huge body. The dark red tail swung in and immediately caught up with the black shadow, constantly adjusting its position and directly colliding with it.

The surrounding flames were extinguished by the impact of the collision between the two. The black shadow was like a cannonball, impacting a translucent passage in mid-air, bringing up a swirling hurricane, and all the flames around the passage were blown away by the strong wind. The air around the black shadow exploded continuously, and he flew more than a hundred meters away. He finally adjusted his balance, but still rolled down the ground for more than ten times before crashing into the trunk of an ancient tree and finally coming to a stop.

"Cang!" The giant dragon dropped its spinning body, but several bright red blades were chopped off, flung off its tail, and stuck in the surrounding ground. There were several sharp cuts on the armor of the tail. As several streams of milky white steam gushed out, thick blood spattered, forming a rain of blood in a small area, making a "chichi" sound.

The aerodynamic weapon device at the tip of the tail has completely failed. The giant dragon turned his head and took a look, with a look of surprise and fear in his cross-shaped pupils.

The dragon squeezed the wounds on its tail and shook it several times at the same time, and the part of the armor that had failed completely fell off. I don't know if it was him or Nichols in his body. The giant dragon roared at this moment, and an impact slowly spread out within dozens of meters around it.

In the dense sound of "ta-da", the scales on the dragon's body trembled, and its dark black color gradually turned towards dark red. Within a few seconds, the black completely faded from the dragon's body, and dark red enveloped its entire body. The surrounding air was twisting, and countless high-temperature jets no more than the thickness of a little finger were ejected from its skin as its dark red scales trembled.

The dark red dragon became a flowing shadow, the earth shook, and the ground beneath its claws exploded. When a large amount of soil spattered backward, the red flowing shadow directly impacted. All the ancient trees along the way were knocked away by Liuying. Amidst the deep sound of "dong dong", a swirling wind was pulled out from behind the red Liuying. In just half a breath, Liuying had arrived at the place where Cassia stopped.

The flowing shadow instantly solidified into a huge leaping figure of a giant dragon, with a sharp claw raised high, and a large group of dark red horny bodies had completely covered it, causing it to grow to nearly three times its original size, like a heavy weight. hammer. The sharp claws snapped down immediately, and the air was torn apart like a transparent film. Amid the violent vibrations, the ground instantly sank several meters, and countless cracks spread hundreds of meters around in the blink of an eye.

The impact stirred up dust and ashes, which then rolled around and were scattered with a loud bang. The giant dragon became a flowing shadow again and rushed forward. The surrounding flames and smoke were all sucked by Liuying, until they could no longer catch up with Liuying's speed, and then they suddenly dispersed.

The giant dragon ran all the way, chasing the small black shadow in front of it that was even more terrifying at speed and dodged the attack just now. "Bang..." The sharp claws scratched on the ground, and countless dirt and gravel were splashed away. They accelerated under the huge force, like several dense bullets, covering the front.

A low roar rang out, and at this moment the giant dragon suddenly jumped forward, and at the same time, its limbs and pierced wings were completely retracted, turning the whole into a streamlined object, leaving only its tail swinging slightly to adjust its balance. Shaped like a meteor about to fall, the giant dragon shuttled rapidly through the mid-air dozens of meters high, crashing into a tunnel in the smoke and cutting off the path of the black shadow.

The black shadow seemed to need just such a little time. When he saw the giant dragon falling suddenly, a faint light and shadow suddenly flashed around it. It was a looming light blue curtain that could burst at any time. At the same time, the hazy white light like flowing water completely covered the silver-white sword in the black shadow's hand.

The giant dragon landed on the ground, and with the help of the impact, it hit the stopped black shadow with its claw again.

"Buzz..." a dull vibrating sound sounded, and a bright light suddenly rose up. As the black shadow moved almost like a leap, a bright white stream of light was brought out, and the sharp claws captured by the giant dragon were completely penetrated laterally. .

"Dong..." He raised his claws and hit the ground, but the huge power just now was completely lost. The ground shook slightly, and amidst the hissing sound, a fine scorch mark appeared near the end of the dragon's claws, and high-pressure blood sprayed from the scorch mark in the form of mist. Immediately, the dragon's body suddenly tilted, and the sharp claw that was photographed was completely cut off by the sharp sword from the scorch mark. Blood spurted out, forming a pool of blood on the ground in the blink of an eye.

Without any hesitation, as if he had anticipated this outcome, the spurting of blood stopped completely the next moment. When the giant dragon jumped tens of meters away, tentacle-like dragon-like tissue grew on the smooth cut of the forelimb. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped the cut surface, and then the new tissue began to secrete a large amount of cuticles, covering it layer by layer. , complete the treatment of the wound.

The dark red tail rolled back as the dragon retreated, sweeping towards the black shadow and slamming into it. The soft white stream of light lit up again, cutting vertically to a height of several meters. The scales and the hard bones inside had no defensive effect at all. When the tail came into contact with the white sword light, it was directly disconnected from the middle and thrown dozens of meters away with the help of inertial force.

"Ang..." The air trembled in the sudden sound ripples, and the giant dragon retreated again, but its speed was somewhat affected by the loss of one of its forelimbs. The black shadow directly ignored the sound waves and swayed among them. When it caught up with the dragon, it could no longer maintain the looming light blue light curtain on its body. The white light wrapped on the sword also disappeared, revealing The silver-white sword body reflects the orange-red flames.

The giant dragon caught this scene and stopped the retreat of its huge body. Its scales seemed to be rapidly heated and glowed. The rich dark red transforms into bright red and finally into blazing white. With a clear roar, the blazing white scales burned violently, and large swaths of snow-white flames surged over them. With the giant dragon as the center, a high-temperature hemispherical shock wave comparable to breath instantly erupted, expanding and spreading in all directions.

The ground in the nearer range was directly coated with a layer of glazed substance under the high temperature impact, and the ancient trees became charred in the white flames. The impact did not completely dissipate until it reached several hundred meters, turning into an explosive hurricane that continued to spread with high-temperature heat flow.

Amidst the crackling sound, all the burnt-out armor remnants on the dragon's body fell down. At the same time, the scales all over the dragon's body began to crack and crack, and gradually returned to dark red, but the color continued to fade, eventually returning to its original black. The giant dragon groaned softly at this moment, twisted its neck, and forced its body to hit the side. But it was still a little late, and the blazing white light pillar with a thickness of two to three meters had already formed out of thin air, rubbing its body and impacting five or six kilometers away.

It's just that this breath disappeared extremely quickly. Before the surrounding white light completely disappeared, a figure with white lines all over its body came to the giant dragon. When the giant dragon noticed it, the white figure stood on its back with the frost falling all the way.

The sharp sword fell, inserted into a section of the dragon's spine, and sank into the hilt. The white frost spread several meters away from it.

At this moment, the white figure suddenly squatted down, and his horny right hand broke open the cracked scales and stabbed into the dragon's body. The giant dragon opened its bloody mouth and was about to twist its neck and bite Cassia who was standing on it, but the air suddenly solidified, and all movements were frozen at this moment. Only the flames spread here from a distance, thick The smoke continued to billow toward the sky.

At the same time, inside the dragon's body, Nichols' closed eyes moved, but did not open.

"Has your body been devoured by dragons?"

"It is precisely because of this possibility that I am in the second group, not one of the people who went to the sacrificial ceremony." There was no sound, but Nichols' words sounded in another form. It sounded in Cassia's head, "The last step was almost there, but it seems you discovered it."

"Whether it's perception or intuition, the sudden danger signal has forced me to do this. Originally, I wanted to delay it for a little longer, even if it hurt me, but getting more information is my current purpose. But it's dangerous. The signal took my breath away and put too much pressure on me, so I had to stop you.”

"Is this your way of countering?" Nichols sighed, "Compared to us, you are more like a dragon knight. I don't know if you have surpassed the first batch of people, but just this casualness The ability to connect with dragons is enough for you to gain a foothold in the first batch. However, this connection should be malicious, and it is very different from us dragon knights."

"There are some differences." Cassia replied, "Just think of it as a kind of suppression or devouring. In principle, there is nothing wrong with this. This time, in addition to obtaining information, the other remaining purpose is to determine this kind of Whether the method will work on the dragons of your dragon knights. I am 95-60% sure, but for the sake of safety, I still want to be sure and not let there be any mistakes. "

"That's it..."

Nichols' voice was gradually getting weaker, "I didn't know your ability in advance. If you found the opportunity and used this method as soon as we met, the Dragon Knight would be just an ordinary enemy with outstanding strength in front of you. That's it. All the advantages of our dragon knights will disappear in an instant. The other four are roughly the same as me, and there is probably no room for resistance to your method. For us dragon knights, you may It is like a natural enemy, naturally capable of restraining the system operated by the Dragon Knight."

"Thank you for the compliment." Cassia responded, "The same goes for you Dragon Knights. If the opponent is not me or No. 0, within the three-stage range, there is no surgeon in the empire who can kill the Dragon Knights alone. No. A fully equipped team has no chance of hunting you."

"I don't want to hear these words from your mouth." Nichols was not happy with Cassia's appreciation. "These are things we have known for a long time, and they are also facts that have been confirmed over a long period of time. You don't need to repeat them to me. I listen."

"Is there anything else you need me to convey on your behalf? These words may interfere with the judgment of the other four dragon knights later." Cassia asked, also ignoring Nichols' current mood. Of course, Nichols didn't need Cassia to feel sympathy for him at this time.

"No more... By the way, the last step I am going to take is to self-destruct in a small area. This is also a method that top dragon knights will master, but not every dragon knight will learn it. Of course, you don't have to Worry, I failed in the end..." Nichols laughed, as if mocking himself. Then the voice became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared from Cassia's head.

After a few seconds of silence, Cassia sighed. While continuing to suppress the spirit of the dragon, Cassia diverted part of his attention back to his body, controlled the power, and a weakened version of his breath spurted out, hitting the dragon's head, burning a hole through it. At this moment, Cassia had just finished corroding the dragon's body.

Raising her head, Cassia slowly exhaled, and the black scales on her body faded away, revealing a body with large areas of torn skin. The devouring method continued, and his feet were already wrapped in dragon tissue while talking to the enemy. The injuries are recovering extremely quickly, and the energy consumed is quickly replenished by the dragon's blood.

Soon after, Cassia pulled out the second-generation holy sword and completely destroyed the dragon's entire spine before jumping off the ground. After circling the dragon for several times, Cassia turned back to retrieve the mask and heavy sniper rifle, and then slowly ran towards the network of caves dug by Cassia.

"The devouring method, is its effect too terrifying?" Above the sky, the four circling dragons failed to arouse Cassia's interest. The success of the devouring method made him consider more issues.

"Even now, perhaps the devouring method has already been enhanced by the red crystal and the two dreams, but it is undeniable that as one grows, even if the effect of the devouring method is not as terrifying as it is now, there is still a gap. It won't be very big. Only in terms of the method of swallowing, I can indeed be regarded as the natural enemy of dragons. In the Blinuo area, I competed with the skeleton fossil dragon for control of the body. This can be explained by the fact that the dragon just woke up and had no master. The brain and physical energy are insufficient and in an extremely weak state, so I have a chance. Needless to say, Cassie Hei may be a father and mother to it, so naturally it will not resist my invasion. But This kind of dragon..."

"Captive breeds, because they are not yet adults, are not strong enough to compete with themselves in terms of intelligence and spirit?" Cassia did not believe this speculation.

"Sukarius, the more I grow up, the more I feel that what you said back then was indeed true. Because you have not mentioned all the important points, there is no such thing as a lie."

"But your identity is not as recorded in the history of the empire. You are a young dragon born from a dragon egg that was captured at will. You are a little older than the history of the empire. In other captive species, they will be killed on time. Even though it was cleared, you can survive to this day not just because you are one of the original two-headed dragons in the empire. There must be some specialness, and some of this specialness seems to have been passed on to you through you. On me."

There are still many things Cassia can't figure out. A lot of information has indeed begun to be connected through this experiment, but there are still many missing nodes to fully connect them together. However, Cassia had a vague guess.

The speculation involves the source, which is about the surgery that changed the trajectory of his entire life.
