Steel steam and flame

Cassia went to the edge of the camp and asked for a small camping tent alone. She sat cross-legged on the ground and used Cassia's black scales to make simple armor. Having something to do in hand can help Cassia's emotions slowly cool down and return to normal, without allowing those impulsive thoughts to further ferment and occupy his head, affecting his own rational judgment.

Cassia kept taking deep breaths and sighed several times during the process. Suppressing emotions is not an easy task. It is the collision of two sides of one's own will that makes Cassia's expression extremely complicated. The work of making armor was also forced to be interrupted several times, and he had to rely on continuous long breathing to inhale a large amount of cold air to physically reduce the temperature that the body could not remove.

In a few hours, a pure black armor completely connected with alloy wires was completed. Relying on the support of the cut branch, Cassia placed it in the corner of the tent, exhaled slowly, and then felt the oppressive and high-pressure heat in her chest disappear.

Putting the second-generation holy sword on the ground beside him, Cassia lay down directly, closed his eyes, and after exhaling as if the pressure valve was deflated, he finally relieved most of his pressure. With her back touching the ground, Cassia felt the vibrations coming from everywhere and thought this was real. The few hours of trance were really a kind of training of his will for him. I really want to go to Cassie Hei and try to go to the enemy's joint base with one person and one dragon. My own breath plus Cassie Hei's dragon breath will put tremendous pressure on the enemy after several rounds.

Psychological troubles made Cassia think that the plan was indeed feasible many times. It was no longer a matter of impulsiveness, but the eagerness to rescue Ye Jielin. Taking advantage of the influence of the photos and information on her, she broke through her inner defenses and escaped.

The fatigue accumulated over the past few days also broke out in the body at this time. Cassia closed her eyes and knew that she was tired, so she entered a state of rest according to the feeling of body and spirit. It is not a complete deep sleep. Surgeons like Cassia have long lost the ability to sleep. Unless they use drugs, it is the body's instinct to be alert to the surroundings. Just like breathing and heartbeat, there are already dedicated areas in the brain to control them at all times. .

But this rest is also a little deeper than the semi-sleep state. Soon after, although Cassia maintained her thoughts, she somehow forgot the passage of time. The squeezing fatigue and mental self-repression were naturally relieved and released at this moment, naturally, but also vaguely subconscious. In this state, Cassia's perception came into contact with the feeling hidden deep in the ground. something down.

As if there was a resonance, or an unintentional coincidence, when Cassia noticed it, she found that she had entered an environment similar to dreams and illusions. The camping tents disappeared, and the surrounding large campsites turned into other scenery. This is like a dead land, a world composed entirely of gray and black matter, full of the smell of decay. Among the gray-black matter, Cassia even noticed a life form that resembled the second type of creature. Most of them look like worms, but there are also different forms that resemble adult worms.

The gray-black substance is very much like a culture medium, cultivating a huge number of life forms deep under the ground.

But Cassia felt a trace of vitality that still existed in the gray matter, which was the feeling of a small green leaf in the corner of a dead tree. Immediately, the vitality of existence seemed to be felt by Cassia. The original weak feeling did not gradually increase at all, and instantly turned into a behemoth in front of him, bringing huge pressure.

Cassia found that she was instinctively afraid. This behemoth, who didn't know its specific appearance, had absolute power. After the fear was suppressed by Cassia, he then felt a sense of familiarity.

"I didn't expect that you could take the initiative to let your spirit touch here, but it is too early for you, and it is also a huge burden on your spirit. You simply do not have the power and authority to contact and use the World Tree Root Network, so you still You cannot actively create a spiritual connection world that ignores distance. Please don’t try this kind of thing again for a long time in the future, I will send you back immediately.”

"But..., I will look forward to meeting you next time. You have to work hard to find the key that exists in you. Only you can connect to it at the moment. You have to make good use of your own characteristics. Since you are it, it will also It's you..." The words became increasingly blurry in the end, and Cassia could no longer hear many of the words that were said afterward. It was also at this moment that Cassia suddenly understood that this sense of familiarity came from those sights not long ago. This huge vitality, or huge spiritual body, is the world tree that is the main body of the southern forest.

The moment he understood it, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. As if awakened from a nightmare, Cassia suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into her eyes was the unfamiliar-looking camping tent. The ready-made armor was like a display in the floor-to-ceiling window of a clothing store, standing not far from her. .

"Huh..." Cassia took a deep breath uncontrollably, and the pain also spread to her head. Sweat dripped from his forehead and flowed into the corners of his eyes, making them numb. Blinking hard, Cassia realized that she was almost soaked all over, and the excessive loss of water had made her mouth dry.

I had just replenished enough food not long ago, but my stomach was already full of hunger. Cassia touched her belly, and her originally strong waist shrank in size. Just by feeling it with his hands, Cassia also knew that during his rest period, nearly half of the high-energy fat he had stored had been completely consumed.

Cassia wanted to get up to find food and water, but the mental fatigue that was worse than before the break made him lie down again. As sleepiness came over, Cassia had no more time to sort out the unexpected situation, so she could only repeat the words in her mind several times, remember them firmly, and then enter a deeper rest.

No abnormal conditions occurred during this rest. Shortly after Cassia transitioned from a deeper rest to a semi-sleep state, the sound of footsteps approaching here woke her up.

Cassia opened her eyes, but found that the movement was unusually slow. He was obviously sure that the footsteps were still more than ten meters away from him, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Hai standing in front of him. The next moment, Cassia realized that there were people beside her. They were Hai's assistant and housekeeper Lyle, and two other faces that she had never seen before.

But judging from the needle inserted into his arm and the alloy box containing various medicine bottles placed aside, the strange face should be a doctor or pharmacist following the team.

"Mr. Cassia, do you know how long you have been asleep?" Hao asked, looking at Cassia carefully.
