Steel steam and flame

The place where Xicia stopped was an alley, a place that would not be discovered immediately without looking carefully on the map. The darkness here is close to pure, which perfectly fits the current desertedness of this area and the chaotic atmosphere that is about to be suppressed.

She was perched in the darkness, with one hand pressed against the wall beside her to feel the vibrations, and the other hand holding the revolver tightly, pointing the muzzle vertically at the ground, ready to turn around and shoot at the enemy at any time. This was the only thing that could bring her comfort at the moment, and the coldness made her feel a different kind of comfort.

At this moment, her body began to slowly enter a state of stillness, and her heartbeat and breathing approached the limits of what she could get close to. Thinking is also disappearing, but it is more like an artificially created standby state that can be activated in an instant, fully awakening the body that is as still as a stone sculpture. The little remaining attention was divided into her enhanced perception.

Information is the most important. Knowing where the enemy is, how far away from you, etc. is all useful information that can delay you as long as possible. She had thought about taking the initiative to attack because it would be the best defense. But after careful consideration, she concluded that she was overthinking.

First of all, not to mention the actual combat experience, from the test content set by Cassia, she can get an almost unmistakable judgment - now she can only escape, facing the alliance monsters, there is still a long way to go. You have to walk through it to get to the next step.

Sisia was still nervous, but staying in the darkness and the coldness around her physically eased her emotions. It can't be said to be calm, but there is not much left in the panic. After continuous thinking, she believed that she had no chance of completing the exam, and there seemed to be many ways.

In her thoughts, she kept recalling what Cassia had said in the past. She recited everything by heart, even the tone of voice, which made her recall it very easy.

To start matching, you can use the description and explanation of the current scene, where the tone is emphasized, where explanations are added, what details should be paid attention to, etc. At this time, using them in actual combat, Xixia found that her understanding of these instructions and explanations seemed to have deepened.

In the past, I simply wrote down those words and thought about why, but could not get the answer. Now, compared to thinking about it, actually experiencing it for herself, Xixia found that the speed of understanding is much faster.

"Is this the so-called experience?" That's probably it. Sisia gave herself the answer. As her understanding of those explanations and explanations deepened, she suddenly felt relaxed. The tension hasn't gone away, but it's definitely lessened at the moment.

After that, her thoughts continued to slow down, and she also challenged her own limits of suppressing her breathing and heartbeat. The physical activity was further reduced, and I had the experience of staying in the spiritual world for a long time with darkness. I also did a very good job in suppressing the breath.

The scattered perception was based on the method Cassia told her, and only a very shallow layer fell, like an almost invisible mist. Sisia understood that now she only needed to know whether the enemy was approaching, and other things were not her focus for the time being. Because what follows is a long-distance run rather than an attack on the enemy.

In the distance, a fire suddenly rose, deepening the darkness here. The night that was supposed to be quiet suddenly became lively due to an explosion. Gunshots and explosions resounded throughout the area almost instantly. Sisia remained unmoved. Her attention was only distracted during the first explosion, and then she completely ignored the surrounding situation.

However, this small distraction has already cost Cassia, who is leaning next to the analysis machine, two points.

"The concentration is not yet highly concentrated. This needs to be strengthened later." Cassia used her fingers to draw the points deducted on the ground, while not forgetting to write down in her mind the reasons why the two points would be deducted, and how to correct them. wait. In his opinion, this exam is just a formality, and the purpose is to allow Xicia to truly experience an actual one-sided battle and gain growth.

In addition, he also regarded it as a farewell party where he would leave the three stages and move to another gaming venue. Perhaps we will face these enemies again, but certainly not many times. If you stay in it all the time, you will always let the environment drag down your sense of smell. After the new body is cultivated, it is necessary and necessary to be exposed to the new environment and think about things that have never been thought about before.

The arrival of the red star is not far away, and before it actually appears, it has already begun to affect the climate of this world. The Theocracy and the Nature Association have sent additional personnel to the Later Prime Continent, which is also Cassia's current focus. During the incident in the southern forest, he knew that there were monsters like himself and Zero in the super country. These people are all candidates for the power of the future knight king class.

If there is no corresponding power to restrain... Cassia takes his place here, knowing that this will be a disaster. This time, the two super countries will not just send some reinforcements as before to keep the war between the three giant countries on the Houxiang Continent in a balanced state.

In order to prepare in advance before the arrival of the Red Star, it is inevitable that most of the forces will come to the Houxiang Continent. The appearance of Perkinz and Grote made him understand to some extent how great the pressure on the empire, or Noir, would be.

The power of the knight king class of the two super countries in the past will be restored this time.

Feeling that she was thinking elsewhere all of a sudden, Cassia put aside these troublesome things and focused on the current exam. Since it was considered a farewell party, he also hoped that it would start and end smoothly and to his liking.

On the other side, Zero, who was asked for help, was doing this kind of thing for the first time, so he was somewhat confused about how to do it. He didn't know what he should do to be the best help, so he could only act according to what he thought was the best way.

After the first explosion sounded, he left where he was and went to where the two adjutants were not far ahead. It took almost no effort - the two were attracted by the explosion. While hiding, they contacted others in Zhou Dynasty, quickly formed a counterattack network, and dispatched personnel to various locations, preparing to launch a counterattack. There was no discovery at all, and it was impossible to discover Zero. .

Zero simply hid aside and waited for the two of them to walk out of the house where they lived. He did not use the pneumatic sword. One hand with one hand, the necks of the two lieutenants were crushed without any struggle.

During this period, he also turned his head and looked in the direction of Sicia. Because in the perception, one of the main targets was already approaching, while the other one was heading in the direction of Korkwa and others.
