Steel steam and flame

Silence fell quickly after the sound of the rapids in the air disappeared. Large snow fog rolled under the cold wind, completely covering the downwind area. It would take some time to disappear. But after about ten breaths, mixed with the whirring sound of leaves rubbing against each other, the snowy mist that was filled with smoke and covered a large area suddenly began to become thinner. In less than a second, the snowy mist that was surging just a moment ago became thinner at this moment. Has completely disappeared.

A shadow quickly went to the place where the snow mist was disappearing. When the figure appeared, four figures rushed out from four directions, surrounding the huge hole formed by a heavy object falling.

"Stuck at a body length of 140 meters, the breath is fluctuating, and it will reach a high-level state, but time is not enough after all, and it is still only the third stage. Even if there is a probability of temporarily going to a high-level state, the accumulation, familiarity and Affected by factors such as practicing the use of new strength, the changes it can achieve in a short period of time are only physical."

"The aura is consistent with what I felt in the cave. The difference is that it is much stronger. A special wild species of dragon must have devoured its own kind or eaten precious food in the process of growing up. I agree with what I said just now, it is still A wild dragon in the third stage, even if it reaches a high level, isn't there still a small early stage of the fourth stage before the middle stage? And compared to the dragon, I care more about the dragon knight on the dragon's back... ,"

"Very quick response, correct judgment, and admirable mobility. When we noticed that he had fallen with the wild dragons, we had already aroused his alert. Although we were discovered a little later, we were soon discovered. He came down and continued to accelerate to the ground without hesitation, raising snow and fog as a cover to help the dragon return to the underground cave network to hide and other actions, but there was nothing superfluous."

"By the time we tacitly agreed to use the induction field to immediately eliminate the impact of the snow and fog on our vision, the surroundings were already like this. When the dragon went into the cave, he also disappeared..., well, he hid, maybe even if he was around must."

"Now there is a question. Has he also entered the underground cave network? And, have you captured any relevant information about this dragon knight?" The speaker squinted his eyes slightly, and the other three people all fell into thinking about this question. " If it’s just me who didn’t catch it, it can be explained by negligence. However, if the four of us didn’t catch it, or the information we got was completely useless, it should be enough to explain the current situation.”

"Just like now, in the expanded perceptions of the four of us, except for the moment when we first captured him, there is no movement of him anymore, right? We only know that he has a very young appearance, from the pockets, buttons and Look at the buckle, it's a field combat uniform. The weapons are,,,"

"A revolver with abnormal caliber, I noticed it." The four people began to gather information.

"Tactical knives, two, bullets not counted."

"No more..." someone concluded, "The revolver has a bore diameter of more than 20 millimeters and is a type of cannon. But it does not pose a threat to us."

"This little bit of information is not enough." The voice was slightly solemn. "I didn't feel a strong aura on him. The mental perception that interacted with us belongs to the type that integrates with the environment. It's the same as his performance. , is a surgeon who is very good at hiding himself. Let me confirm once again that when we jointly eliminated the influence of snow and fog, our respective induction fields did not touch anything, right?"

After receiving a definite answer, the speaker and the other three fell into the silence brought about by thinking. While they were talking, the four of them had already walked around the crater, now in a spread-out formation, each monitoring a direction, trying their best to allow their senses to more carefully detect everything hidden in the darkness of the forest.

"On the way here, we consciously formed an encirclement and approached until we merged. During the whole process, we didn't notice anyone was there. We used the dragon knight's method to blend into the dragon's body and enter the cave network together. ? This should be the biggest possibility at the moment. The perception of the four of us is not enough to detect anything." After silence, this voice made the four of them look at the row of obvious dragons stepping out on the ground. footprints, and finally the sight went into the darkness until nothing could be seen anymore.

"Then let's go back to a while ago. Let the third-stage team continue to advance steadily and explore the situation inside the underground cave network. However, the two targets are also in the underground cave. Maybe after waiting a little longer, he will meet the two targets. Not necessarily." There was little interest in his voice.

But then someone interrupted, with solemnity and solemnity, but more of a doubt. He asked, "Have you ever felt that the surrounding temperature is dropping abnormally? Or, based on what you feel, is the surrounding environment changing abnormally? I don't seem to be able to judge very well."

This sentence was like a signal triggered by their own choice. As soon as they finished speaking, a thin white mist had already shrouded a large area around them out of thin air. This is water that precipitates from the air due to cold and turns into snow mist.

In the blink of an eye, the concentration of the white mist reaches its peak, and then dissipates instantly, turning into ice crystals and frost powder, and sinking to the ground. The howling cold wind was silenced at the same time, losing its strength, and the friction of the tree canopy quickly changed from rustling to quiet.

The next moment, the four people reacted immediately. When they immediately looked around carefully, the silver frost powder was like moonlight. Without any time preparation, when they discovered it, everything in this place had already been plated with a thin layer of frost. layer.

At the same time, in the distance within sight, in various places less than a kilometer away, walls composed purely of gray-white snow clouds appeared, connecting the ground and the snow clouds together, forming a slowly rotating circle. Cylindrical circle!

"Storm tornado..." someone said in a deep voice, "We are in the eye of the storm, right in the center!"

It was only at this moment that the four people covered in silvery white frost powder felt a cold feeling appear in their scattered perceptions. Although the cold feeling came very late, it penetrated deeply into the hearts of the four people——

A colorless force field spread out around the four people in an instant. All that could be changed was to remove the silvery white frost powder within the force field's coverage. The cold that had penetrated deep into the heart continued to intensify!

"Our perception has been affected from the beginning! It's not that he is so good at hiding that we can't find any traces. It's because our perception is so dull that we can't detect it in time, even the cold. It is impossible to discover him who is trying so hard to hide!"

"The environment here seems to be very bad..."
