Steel steam and flame

The other three people did not answer the call. Their attitude has changed, and it is the same as that of the principals of the military schools. But even now, some words cannot come out of their mouths.

In the silence, time is approaching the point where the King of Steel, Defoni, arrives. Several people looked at each other and wanted to say something, but no sound came out. The water outside was lapping at the hull of the boat, and the sound came in, making it not so quiet here.

"After the incident in the forest is over, the environment and situation will change again. I hope you will think more about this country in the future. It has existed for too long, and the inside has already become not so good. But only if it exists, will we have what we have today duties, and the things that exist to protect us." A general manager kindly reminded us.

"This should be said to the group of Holy Fathers in the Holy Emperor's Hall. Most of the things between us can be attributed to bad competition. And what the Holy Fathers have been doing is completely hollowing out the empire. My own foundation. If possible, I would like to go directly to the tundra, thaw all the frozen saints of the past generations, and hang up their bodies." The principal of the Military School retorted. He knew that the chief was simply a reminder and had no unnecessary meaning.

"The Holy Emperor's Hall is also an important part of the empire. It is impossible to completely eliminate its influence in the ordinary world without the replacement of several generations of personnel." The chief responded, "I am just reminding, hoping that when needed, , can you all stand up and help. No matter whether it is a red star or a historical node, nothing can be overcome by just one person. And soon, everyone should also know that in the endless sea, a fierce battle is very likely to occur. The battle. The Holy Fathers can be so unscrupulous and not afraid of crazy revenge when the crazy girl comes back, because the Knight King class personnel of the Theocracy or the Nature Association Alliance are waiting for her return around the Houxiang Continent. "

"After this incident, will the Holy Emperor Hall become more prosperous, or will it continue to decline... In short, I think in your hearts, what you want to see must be decline." A general manager expressed his attitude. He didn't give others a chance to answer the question. After looking at the time, he stood up and said, "Defoni is here. Everyone has been waiting for this moment. After the discussion begins, in their respective fields, please don't be stingy with what you have in your hands." Information."

"It's such a strange weather, but it just happened." In an open space on the edge of the camp, Hai stretched out his hand to catch a few silver-white snowflakes the size of two adults' thumbs. Seeing that they were melted by his own body temperature, he put down his hand and spoke to Cassia beside him, "The data says that this is a typical climate of endless sea freezing air, one of the frequent visitors when the Red Star comes."

"It seems that the expected heavy rain will have to wait for another day or two." He had to speak louder, and the strong wind swept into the open space, making a whistling sound. The surrounding tree canopy is like the sea surface on a rainy night, with layers of waves rolling, repeatedly rising and falling over the seemingly endless forest.

There are endless clouds in the sky, and their thickness brings a natural sense of oppression. The air not only becomes colder, but also gradually has greater pressure. The clouds are very close to the ground, giving the illusion that you can reach out and touch them. A sea of ​​gray-black clouds billowed in the sky, and it was only ten minutes ago that snow began to fall.

It should be an afternoon with plenty of light, but the surroundings were dark and devoid of warmth. Cassia just raised her head, her eyes were unfocused and she didn't know where to look.

He turned his head at this moment. He originally wanted to go back to the camp and make appropriate adjustments to the team's march based on the weather changes. But the moment he looked at it, he was sure that it was not an illusion, but a fact that really happened. At that moment, Hao didn't catch Cassia's figure in his sight. When time did pass a subtle point, he was sure that Cassia was always beside him, keeping his head raised.

The surroundings are not dark, there is still light, and it looks like the transition from dusk to night. For an operator like Hai, there is not much difference in low-light vision and the ability of the eyes to capture subtle light during the day and night.

But he was sure that at that moment, Cassia was not in his eyes. Naturally, it is completely integrated into the background of the environment.

There was a smile on Hao's face, and with his thoughts running rapidly, he knew why Cassia hoped that the heavy rain would fall earlier. Cassia is not a product of the sun. Walking under the midday sun, Cassia is a person who naturally looks for shadows and blends into them.

The frightening thing may not be Mr. Cassia's absolute strength. He was thinking in his heart, and what he wanted to say was swallowed by him. Afterwards, he quietly left alone, and when he returned to a place not far away, he could hear the friction of the sea of ​​trees above his head in the thickened and reinforced black cloth dome. The season has entered winter early during this period, and plans and thoughts have to change very quickly to adapt to the combat habits and rules of the cold winter season.

The best news right now is that all the members who came to the Southern Forest this time have passed the first stage of surgery. Although there are a few second-stage members, the ordinary cold winter environment and temperature no longer pose any threat to them. The relatively serious change is that the temperature sensing ability can achieve doubled effects under the background of a cold environment.

While Hao was busy with the arrangement and logistics of the ground team, the strange falling snow quickly intensified. Snowflakes in the strong wind are like sharp dead leaves, and they can make a "tacking" sound when hitting the leaves.

Cassia, who was still standing there, didn't make any movement and just closed her eyes. Snowflakes fell on him and were melted by his hot body temperature the next moment. There was a layer of misty white air surrounding me, and when I breathed in, the air I exhaled had the momentum of a steam column from a train.

Cassia originally wanted to go back to the camp with Hai and advance the plan according to the weather-adjusted team. After hearing Hai's explanation of the weather, he found a clue that was very important to him. He closed his eyes and his body was like a statue made of molten iron. This was all because he wanted to avoid unnecessary information, empty his head, and feel the surrounding environment more carefully.

The cross pupils have been expanded, and the enhanced perception is controlled by Cassia, heading towards the thick gray and black clouds in the sky like a ray. The mood was not peaceful enough. Cassia began to take a deep breath. As her chest rose and fell, the howling of the wind first disappeared from her perception, and the large flying snowflakes were then blocked by her perception.

Cassia didn't count the time. When a faint, glowing smoke ribbon appeared in his perception, he couldn't remember how long it had passed. It was already a heavy snowstorm, and the snow flakes were getting closer and closer to the thin ice flakes, making themselves sharper with the help of the strong wind.

Immersed in perception, Cassia continued to feel the surrounding environment in detail. When something like a luminous smoke ribbon appeared, he realized that his perception seemed to be integrated into the surrounding environment. To be precise, he could use these luminous smoke ribbons floating in the air to treat them like steam red copper pipes. The carrier allows the perception that can only be emitted within a kilometer around the body to reach farther away.

It is not limited to a carrier, but also a pipeline. Perception is amplified and sharpened by these smoky ribbons.

Cassia allowed herself to sense and follow the glowing smoke ribbons in the environment, continuing upwards. As the perception gradually faded away, thick gray-black clouds appeared in Cassia's head again. The clouds have lost their visual appearance, and they are now perceived as a huge collection of countless free and irregular luminous smoke ribbons. They are no longer gray and black, but have a silvery white fluorescent color, like a huge living body, and the glowing smoke ribbons are the blood vessels all over the body.

The world seems to be divided into the outside and the inside, and what is perceived is another layer of the inside world. There is only the earth and the sky here, the southern forest has completely disappeared, and the huge clouds dye the sky into a misty silvery white color. Perception follows the luminous smoke belt, getting closer and closer to the clouds. There was already a faint sense of oppression coming from the clouds. Cassia wanted to test the extension limit of perception at this moment, but when he was about to get close to the clouds, a strange feeling came from his whole body, with a familiar taste.

Cassia immediately remembered that he had inadvertently connected to the spirit of the World Tree a few days ago, and the extension of perception immediately stopped. She could only feel it nearby, but there was a huge attraction in the clouds, and Cassia had to tighten her perception to avoid what happened a few days ago again.

During the gathering process, Cassia did not forget to continue to observe the surrounding environment. Vaguely, in addition to the free luminous smoke ribbons, Cassia noticed that there were other obscure things deeper in this sensory world, all around.

This kind of obscure thing is essentially the same thing, hidden extremely deeply. It's just that no matter how Cassia analyzes it, she can't penetrate it again. Giving up quickly, Cassia could only gather her perceptions.

In Cassia's consciousness, the duration of perception extended by the luminous smoke ribbon was not long, maybe just a few breaths. But when he opened his eyes and body signals flooded into his brain again, his specific sense of time told him that the entire process had taken nearly four hours.

The body temperature had dropped to around zero at some point. Cassia opened her eyes and saw darkness. The sound wave pulses were transmitted immediately. Between the different lines, Cassia realized that after nearly four hours of huge blizzard, this open space had already accumulated more than knee-deep snow. As his body temperature dropped, he was almost buried under the snow, leaving only his side facing the wind exposed to the air.

After clearing the snow from his body and his body temperature rising, a large amount of white air rose around Cassia. He took a deep breath, but the cold air couldn't cool down his body.

"Typical climate of endless sea freezing air?" Looking around, Cassia looked at the sky again. The light was so weak that one could barely make out the basic patterns of the clouds that swept across the sky like waves.

"Perhaps, this is caused by humans. But whether it is a natural phenomenon or man-made, this may be a rare opportunity for me." While talking to himself, Cassia turned his body, turned his back to the strong wind carrying snow flakes, and looked directly in front of him. . After a movement of stretching the whole body, the cross pupil appeared again, but this time, there was also a dark ring surrounding the cross pupil.

Without any sound, pieces of black scales without any luster instantly covered Cassia's skin, completely wrapping it. The next moment, within a radius of several hundred meters, a large piece of white stuff appeared under the dim light. This is frost powder formed by the condensation of moisture in the air when the surrounding temperature drops suddenly. In just the blink of an eye, the thick frost powder covered the area, and then was blown away by the strong wind.

Cassia opened his arms, and where visible, the silver-white lines were like the projection of light on his body, like life, swimming aimlessly on the tight black scales.

"The power of the giant whale... could it be Nuoer?" Cassia sighed. At this moment, whether it was the gray-black clouds or the silver-white glowing smoke ribbons in the perception field of view, he had found the source, "The heavy rain will come in the future. Before that, I need to become more familiar with this feeling. This may be an opportunity for me to successfully master and use the power of the giant whale."
