Steel steam and flame

The environment under the dense forest is dark and full of water vapor. Behind him were the huge tornado storm and the rain clouds in the sky. The patterns on them provided the only source of light for the sky beneath the clouds.

The distance between them was no more than three hundred meters, and the three people's eyes instantly merged into one, firmly locking on the two figures in front of them. A pair of round, blood-colored pupils always show the specialness of the owner. It is a manifestation of the cross pupils dilating for some reason. The color is extremely rich, and there is something inexplicable locked in it.

"I observed the tunnel transmitting him, so I took action at the weak point where the strength of the tunnel wall was about to disappear." When he retracted the tactical knife, Cross did not forget to take a look. It was stained with green substance and had a layer of fine traces of corrosion. . At this moment, he raised his left hand, which had just scratched the bone, and made a slashing motion with a sharp object. At this moment, it can be seen that a layer of pink fresh tissue has covered the bones, filled the wound, and is forming a new layer of skin.

"I wanted to cut off the head with one blow, but the result was what I saw before me. I didn't succeed, it just opened a wound on the scales." Cross continued his words, "It was obvious that the moment I didn't succeed, I was sure that this was A trap specially prepared for me. From the beginning, or in other words, from the moment the black wolf was attacked by spiritual guidance and fell into coma, the question of "whether the target has subconsciously thought about my existence" existed in his mind. "

Cross sighed. He had always been serious. At this moment, there was an indescribable dry laughter in his tone, as if he had been serious for a long time and forgot what "laughter" should look like: "On the way here, the corrosion You should have seen the trap. I arranged three people to be around the target, and after being triggered as a trap, they hunted me. It’s just that I was lucky, and I found the opportunity when the other party didn’t have enough information.”

There was a painful sound coming from the front, but it was suppressed by the huge force and stopped abruptly. Then came a sigh of regret. Cross briefly stopped speaking and stared ahead with Hilary and the others with solemn eyes.

They saw Cassia, who was covered in white steam, insert the silver-white sword into the head of the person leaning on him, and then pull it out without any blood. There are many lines on the surface of the sword body, which is not smooth, but nothing can stick to it.

Cassia breathed out heavily, but the heat rushed out from under the open scales all over her body, releasing the pressure accumulated in the body. He had been supporting another person, but the fatal bacteria invaded his body. Without a strong medical team and methods, there was no chance of survival.

Until death, even if the body of the fourth-stage operator is not developed and strengthened through corresponding projects, the flesh, flesh and organs will be completely destroyed by the proliferation of bacteria, and the whole body will almost dissolve. When Cassia put the body down, bones that were being eroded could be seen in many parts, and the ground had long been eroded into irregular pits. The thick material was like molten iron, with bubbles bulging in pieces, and a layer of dense A powdery substance floats above.

Looking at the corpse that was rapidly losing flesh and blood, Cassia cut a wound on his arm. Under artificial squeezing, the light green blood spurted out like arrows. There was a dim fluorescence in the dark environment, and it hit the feet and corroded them. In the pit. After being combined with the blood, the viscous substance boils immediately, but then calms down immediately. The dense powder quickly disappeared and turned into a few wisps of light smoke.

"Perfect restraint." Cross praised with cold eyes, "His blood is like liquid metal. It can be released from any part of the body consciously, and its power is roughly the same as that of ordinary firearm bullets. You must have noticed it, and maybe you have felt it. That abnormal light green color.”

Nonoska heard the meaning of Cross's words and asked: "The defense of the induction force field is not very effective? Or does it need to increase the strength of the force field to avoid it?"

"Increase the intensity." Cross replied. He shook his left hand to feel the degree of recovery. "It can be said that I underestimated the target. All the attention was on the sword and his breath attack, and some small details were ignored by me. . Blood is not only highly toxic, but also extremely corrosive. The intensity of the toxicity takes effect in about one second, making me feel slightly dizzy for a moment. It is a type of nerve agent, but it is negligible. As for the corrosiveness... "

Cross paused briefly and continued: "My tactical knife is made of high-grade alloy, and there are also traces of corrosion."

"But this is not important. It can be avoided by increasing the strength of the force field. The other thing you need to pay attention to is the three latest information about the target."

"First, that sword is an imitation of the Holy Sword of the Saint Dolag Empire. It is made entirely of ultra metal and is extremely strong. You need to be careful. My ultra alloy dagger already has a small chip. .”

"Second, the target can use two different branches of power, dragons and giant whales, both breathing and freezing air. It has not been observed that they can be used at the same time, but the target can switch instantly. However, there is an advance amount, the main observation The lines that will appear on his body are very easy to identify, probably because he has never really entered the fourth stage and has insufficient control."

"The third point..." Cross laughed dryly, but his tone was more solemn, "The look in your eyes when you came here told me that you know it."

Hilary breathed out softly, because the situation was the same as Cross said, and they did observe it. Characteristics that are too obvious, with a little experience, will be included in the thinking list for analysis.

"It's radiation, and it's completely restrained. It won't be revealed unless it leaves the body. This means that the 'radiation' of uranium bombs in Cassia's body does not happen in a short time, because her body and skin have completely adapted and evolved to hide The function of radiation is completely hidden."

"I also observed that during perception, Cassia cut her arm just now, and she could feel strong radiation from the wound, and the energy dissipated abnormally. But after the blood left the body, the radiation content dropped instantly. It can be seen as that body Is the body gathering this kind of thing subconsciously? The moment the blood leaves the body, most of the radiation is taken back by the body autonomously." Hilary's eyes met the pair of blood-colored cross pupils, and what she saw was the coldness and the indifference in them. Known rapid thinking.

Hilary knew that Cassia did not turn around and leave because he knew that after losing the protection personnel, the speed, which was the biggest shortcoming, could not exceed his own speed, so he could only wait for the arrival of other protection members, maybe there would be a chance.

"But why is this happening?" The sights and perceptions of the three people locked onto Cassia without leaving any gaps. At the same time, the enemy who stopped behind him was also in the perception of the three people and was being watched at all times. When Hilary asked, she also confirmed another thing - she and Nonoska could not sense Cross and Cassia. The reason was entirely that Cross took the initiative to shield this area with his own spirit and regarded it as powerful. Interference is not a bad idea.

"Experiment?" Nonoska guessed, "Over at the Holy Emperor's Hall, the situation of No. 0 is roughly the same as Cassia's, except that there is no radiation in the blood, and it is a normal blood color."

"Probably it can only be explained this way. After all, all reasons can be summarized as 'this is the goal'. If it is not a special individual, there will be no mission." Hillary didn't want to look for reasons because it was too complicated.

Cross raised his head at this time, glanced up at the sky, and then returned to Cassia: "The reason is really not important. We only need to pay attention to two points. First, the effect of radiation on the induction force field. It will interfere, It causes the force field to be unstable, requiring more refined control and increasing the minimum strength of our force field. Therefore, the target must be completely regarded as an enemy of the same stage. Moreover, it is also an enemy with mithril metal."

"Second, can the target guide the radiation in the body? We can all think of it as being able! Active release, low intensity is a help to us. Within the Theocracy, people want to enter the uranium-gold bomb test zone to strengthen or alienate the body and Is it difficult to obtain permission for abilities? This is the case within the Nature Association. But if the intensity is sufficient, we must be careful. It will increase our burden, both mentally and physically."

After speaking, the time counted in his mind was up, and Cross suddenly raised his right hand. Immediately, a dense ball of electric light flashed and fell from the sky behind the three people, directly turning the ancient branch into powder. When the lightning dissipated, a trident was firmly held in Cross's right hand.

"Miss Hilary, the enemy in the rear is four thousand meters away." Cross returned to seriousness, even with a commanding tone, "Mr. Nonoska, first is a test. You should be able to feel an inexplicable sense of danger from the target. Here, this danger is even stronger, so be careful. The terror of the target is that there are too many unknowns. These unknowns, combined with the target's rational thinking, can kill any of us, at least I think so!"
