Steel steam and flame

After receiving an affirmative answer, Kress stopped and looked at the withered shrubs and trees around him. Seeing the thin layer of gray mold contamination wrapped on it, I couldn't help but shake my head.

Without wanting to think about it, he knew that Cassia had caused this phenomenon. Cleese deployed the bioelectric induction force field and wrapped it in the entire pollution purification factory to prevent further accidents from happening so that he could respond immediately. He went to the lift and rode it to the lower level of the factory.

There's a certain depth to it, so it takes a little time. While waiting, Kress did not forget to increase the intensity of his mental perception and probe towards the bottom in a gentle way. He also did not forget to feel the inexplicable and strange feeling when he got closer——

A sense of surprise and an instinctive danger arising from the unknown. At this time, Kress had a judgment, almost an intuitive result, which told him that there were new things appearing below and leaving traces. And I felt that these traces were not included in my information database, so they were treated as unknown new things.

"Or is it related to the New World Tree?" The surrounding shrubs and trees gave him another direction of thinking. Although in the empire, the abilities and evolutionary paths of most surgeons are related to dragons, there are always exceptions that can cause similar phenomena within a certain range.

In the Flame Alliance, as well as among the few members of the Natural Association that Kress has come into contact with, similar surgeons account for a large proportion.

But I wasn't nervous. I knew that Cassia was below me, so I was relaxed and more curious at the same time.

The spiritual perception that just spread softly was quickly hindered when approaching the lowest level of the factory. It was just a simple disturbance at first, but the closer it got, the more intense the disturbance became. When it is almost close to the cavity area at the bottom, mental perception loses its function, a blank appears, and nothing can be detected.

I didn't think much about it. Rich pollution has the effect of interfering with mental perception. This intelligence information is very common in the circle of extreme field surgeons. Moreover, there is already a section of the roots of the World Tree exposed in the lowest space. Kress conducted an in-depth analysis and was thinking about waiting for a while to reach the bottom, but there was a sudden muffled sound, and the elevator shook violently and stopped descending.

"Huh?" When Kress was confused, there were a few "bangs", and the vine-like trees forced their way through the thin steel plates around the elevator and entered the interior.

The tree branches were as thick as a baby's arm, spreading and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. New twigs were constantly being pulled out from the branches, and one after another young leaves unfolded.

Within a few breaths, inside the elevator, which was stuck immobile by the branches of a large vine-like tree, a vibrant scene filled most of the space.

Kress raised the minimum level of vigilance, and a layer of bioelectric induction force field covered his whole body. The branches and leaves of trees that touched him evaporated and disappeared. These vines and trees were like living creatures, with a sense of touch, and then they regarded the standing Kress as a source of danger. Even though they continued to grow and spread, they no longer approached him.

"Mr. Cassia?" The shout of greeting had an effect. The sound echoed in the elevator shaft, and the disorderly growing vine branches suddenly stopped. But when he received no response, Kress waited for a while, then evaporated a small hole in the steel plate of the elevator under his feet, and he fell freely.

The four walls of the elevator shaft are already covered with vine branches. The branches and leaves extracted are lush and green, looking like they are rich in nutrients and have received enough sunlight for a long time.

When Cress landed smoothly at the bottom of the elevator shaft, his eyes were filled with a thinner white mist. Instead of choosing to breathe and make contact, he used the bioelectric induction force field to isolate it from himself. The criss-crossing vine branches in front of you are as thick as an adult's arm, and their physical toughness can be faintly seen in the dark brown bark. Without trying to touch, he looked at the ground floor space through the extruded and deformed protective door——

It no longer looks empty, and the vine branches are like lichen, covering the entire bottom cavity with a layer. They are intertwined and intertwined to form an irregular three-dimensional network structure, and they are working hard to fill the space little by little.

Through this mesh structure and the thin white mist, Kress saw Cassia's figure, and his vision was suddenly full of weirdness.

Because to describe it completely, it cannot be called "seeing Cassia", but rather seeing half of Cassia.

Cassia relied on the exposed roots of the World Tree, and the small half of her body next to her had completely sunk into the mud-like roots, as if it had been absorbed and assimilated, and the other half of her body had a bark-like texture. In the eyes of Kress, Cassia at this moment is more like a tree lump that has taken on a human form due to various accidents. The source of the vine branches is around Cassia.

As if feeling the sight, Kress saw Cassia suddenly open her eyes. After a brief pause, the thin white mist disappeared immediately, and the vine branches full of life immediately entered death. The rich pollution was generated out of thin air, covering all the vines, turning them into mold-like pollution, and then disappeared from everywhere, as if it was just an illusion.

At this time, Cassia "plucked" half of her body from the root again: "Mr. Kress!"

"I have some guesses, so I conducted a few small experiments." Cassia walked towards Kles with a smile. On the white skin of his chest, which was rich in the ultimate metal, various colors were flowing irregularly. "It shouldn't have caused any bad effects, right?" As he said that, he used his spiritual perception to explore it. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This can only be regarded as an accident, but it's all good news." "It's indeed good news, although I don't know why it's good." Kles spoke helplessly, and his attention was immediately attracted by the fluorescence on Cassia's chest. There, he clearly felt the threat, "I wasn't worried at first, because I knew it was caused by you. But now, I still need to worry a little. Because these are all caused by you unintentionally." ",,," Cassia could only smile and apologize, because it was indeed unintentional, so it was not under control. Kles also smiled and sighed: "But as a good news, you successfully reached the fifth stage of surgery, which is worth congratulating and reporting. It's a terrifying speed, Mr. Cassia. It's only been a few years since you graduated from the military school." "All of them were caused by accidents." Cassia said modestly, "Although I am also very happy and grateful for these accidents."
