Steel steam and flame

Cassie Hei growled from the side, more like an unconscious cry. He was lying on the ground, but his head kept looking here, staring closely at the dead captive dragon. The bright red cross pupils were completely occupied by the shadow of the corpse. It felt like it could still eat a lot more, and the pile of food not long ago was completely digested not long after it was eaten.

I am very hungry. I don’t know how long I have felt like this. Cassie Hei thought with his simple and uncomplicated thinking and came to a conclusion - if you are hungry, you should eat to make yourself not hungry.

It wanted to roar out this conclusion, but when it saw Cassia standing on the head of the dragon corpse, it didn't think much and could only growl from time to time.

"We still have to wait for a while." Cassia has always been next to him, and his changes have been captured by Cassia.

"It's good news, but there is a conflict in time. Cassie Hei has also reached the transitional stage to the fourth stage. Currently, he needs a lot of food to prepare for growth and transformation. He can only slow down its time, and he will be ahead of it. After one step of accumulation, you can come into contact with the fungal substances on the fragments of the World Tree. When the polluted dragon species from the Theocracy and the Nature Association fall, you may also have the opportunity to gain benefits from it. Moreover, all that is needed is pollution, as a substance There will still be a lot of dragon-like bodies left."

Cassia looked at Cassie Hei, and then moved his eyes to the back of the captive dragon corpse. A gray-white statue that was more than half the height of an adult stood there. It was very blurry and only a rough outline could be distinguished. There is a hole the size of a fist that was penetrated by the Cassia revolver cannon in the place where its head looks like.

This captive dragon knight appears to be completely wrapped in gray-white horny body, like a solid layer of protection. In fact, it is a cage that prevents him from escaping.

"The dragon knight himself boldly came into contact with the pollution on the polluted dragons. After discovering the danger of pollution through his very strong 'affinity', he immediately connected with the dragons in an attempt to transfer the pollution to the dragons for digestion..." The two pollution dragon knights should also be in the same situation. There may be a difference, but it is only a difference in the primary and secondary relationship. Either the pollution is transferred from the knight itself to the dragon, or the pollution is transferred from the dragon to the knight."

"Compared with wild dragon species, captive species lag far behind in terms of the growth of the spiritual world and spiritual body."

With the help of spiritual perception and high-frequency sound wave pulses, Cassia saw that the dragon knight's feet had been completely integrated with the dragon's body tissue, and Cassia roughly guessed the reason why the situation became what he saw with his eyes. The fragments of contaminated consciousness are gathered together, even if the number is extremely large, they will not be able to think logically. However, the most basic instincts of swallowing, growing, and reproducing in consciousness can still cause life-threatening damage to the spiritual world and individuals with weak spiritual bodies.

Cassia speculated that the fragments of contaminated consciousness that invaded the spiritual world had the effect of awakening the residual consciousness of dragon tissue in the surgeon's body. There is no actual basis to support that while he can actively eliminate the pollution consciousness, he also eliminated the dragon consciousness in Xixia's body a few months ago. So no sample is available to continue analysis.

Using horny body to fix the second-generation Holy Sword to his back, he went to the dragon knight who had become a silhouette statue. While bowing his head slightly to express silence, the silver scales alone covered the entire right arm, and the fingers that were pressed together also transformed into sharp points. The tip of the sword was shaped like a sword, covered with a force field, and penetrated straight into the corpse from the spine.

"Let's rest for about three hours..." The information entered the mental body, and Cassia got the approximate time, tilted her head and said to Cassie Hei in dragon language. Kasihei roared several times, and then two thick breaths spurted out, raising large amounts of snow around him.

In the evening, while Cassia was filling his stomach, Cassia, who had absorbed the pollution, went to sit on the branch of an ancient tree and exhaled heavily. Because the pressure was too high, a faint blasting sound spread while a cyclone was generated. He closed his eyes and looked at the spiritual world where a gray-white polluted snow was falling one after another at this moment. He saw that the "snowflakes" melted without leaving a trace before they fell on the scorched earth.

But there is a strange phenomenon. The "snowflakes" melt away even in mid-air, but the ground, which is mainly composed of large areas of scorched earth and yellow sand, is gradually becoming moist and slowly losing the appearance of scorched earth. I can’t remember how long ago it started, but the black smoke that used to rise around the wreckage of the battleship was no longer visible. The smell of gunpowder smoke also completely disappeared without realizing it. The air could not be said to be fragrant, but Cassia was sure that there was no smell in it. Only when approaching the wreckage of the battleship, the sour smell of rust could still be smelled.

It's a good sign. The mental body picked up a handful of moist soil and looked around, thinking that in the future, some plants might grow out of this scorched soil and it might become a lush forest.

The attention returned to the body. After a short period of perception, Cassia opened her eyes. Through spiritual perception, she could "see" the surging sea of ​​snow and clouds at the moment, and smell the salty and fishy smell of the endless sea carried by the cold wind. taste.

"The body temperature has dropped, and it fluctuates around 80 degrees without conscious control." Heat rose around him, and was taken away by the cold wind in the blink of an eye. Cassia took a big breath, and her mood became more peaceful. "It is related to the changes in the spiritual world. , the body data began to return to normal. In my impression, Coach Bie, Miss Hilary, and others looked like ordinary people in non-combat states. In the past, I thought they were the same as myself, always in control. Looking back now, it is the level of life that has begun to evolve. The first step to change... A few hours ago, I was like a bud trying to push open the soil... But now, it should not be pushed open yet, but there are gaps that allow air to leak in."

"However, the weight has not changed... It's a pity." Cassia sighed, "I have become quieter than a few hours ago..." After that, he turned his head and looked to the left, looking through the ancient Shu looked over and said, "I will finish the second one in the early morning. We will end this journey before tomorrow evening. After a simple rest, let's return to the underground cave network."

,,,,,,

In the huge underground cavity, tents have been set up, fires have been raised, and simple fortifications have been built on the spot using polished rock blocks...

The aroma of the food spread, and Ross, who had eaten a little, went to Losark, who was still studying the new strange characters and symbols on the cave wall, "Are you really not interested?"

“Curiosity killed the cat.”

"Things that generate high temperatures are definitely not simple, and will be very precious. We are just going to see what it is, and we will not take it away directly."

"Just to correct the terminology, it's you, not us." Losak looked over and said, "I can wait for you outside the entrance of the cave. You can go in and take a look before you come out. You can also tell me."

"Well..." Losark stretched out his index finger, and a little fiery light appeared, "I can help you light up the cave. Aren't you curious about its range of activities? Now I'll tell you the answer, within perception, control within two kilometers. It’s pretty smooth, enough to get you to the end.”

"..." Ross was speechless and turned to leave, "Then let's wait together. Maybe when one person and one dragon come back, we can talk properly and let them take us in to see. I really want to know what it is."
