Steel steam and flame

Principal Stanlos was convinced that he felt Cassia's spiritual aura. When that line of sight with an extremely strange angle really fell on him, the discomfort all over his body once raised the danger signal. Being observed without hindrance, if the other party was not Cassia, he could not imagine what his situation would be like.

Because that line of sight didn't have any warning, it just broke a hole in the ever-expanding perception network, and then looked over without any concealment. This was also the main source of the sense of horror, reminding him of the time when he was a child, before surgery, when he was frightened by his friend hiding on the other side of the corner.

Although these friends were all dead, the sudden memories made Principal Stanlos say something silently in his heart.

Going to the communication machine, he skillfully adjusted the composite radio frequency, and the words to ask and explain the situation were combined and checked in his head.

The electronic noise was not interrupted by human voices for nearly half a minute. The patience under such circumstances was being tested. The slightly rushed male voice made Principal Stanlos relax a little.

On the other end was McGree: "Something has happened with Cassia, which is currently being handled by Mr. Perkins and Mr. Groat."

This sentence made Principal Stanlos feel reassured, "It seems that it is not a special situation." He said with a smile, "Just half a minute ago, his mental body was..."

A strong breath of life erupted from the Little World Tree, and Principal Stedanlos was forced to interrupt his words. A faint green light had already coated all the surrounding objects. He turned around and saw the glowing trunk of the Little World Tree. Irregular lines flickered like breathing. The crown of the tree that blocked the small area of ​​the sky appeared high in the sky. A glowing rough outline.

The mixed sound of thin ropes came and was also heard by Macquarie at the other end. That was the movement caused by the rapid growth of the Small World Tree again. The bark of the tree is cracked, but the main trunk is still growing; and the crown of the tree at high altitude is getting larger and larger visibly to the naked eye.

"Notice it!" After a few seconds of tacit silence, Macquarie learned what was happening in the Blanco Mountains. "Cassia seems to be coming to our side."

",,," Principal Stanlos was speechless. He thought he should say something, "How come it feels like visiting every familiar person one by one before death."

As a result, Macquarie didn't know how to answer the call. What he, Perkins and others considered were often the worst-case scenarios.

"Remember to give us a message!" Perkinz's voice came from the communicator. Principal Stanlos listened and simulated the scene in his head of Perkinz shouting into the air, and then added body language. .

"Leave." There was still a very short pause, and Cassia's mental aura and strange perspective of sight also disappeared from Macquarie's side.

McGree immediately exchanged views with Perkins and the others, and then immediately explained to Principal Stanlos: "Mr. Perkins said that if the Little World Tree is no longer within the controllable range, the destruction program will be started immediately. . Although the explosive material has not been completely filled, it can be done to collapse the Small World Tree."

"I will always be watching from the sidelines." Principal Stanlos was helpless. The faint light shining on his face became stronger, and his mood sank. He always thought that when he stayed in the Blanco Mountains, he was going to rest instead of looking at the Little World Tree.

Somewhere within the empire, close to the edge of an extreme area.

Zero, who was sitting on a pile of bones of various underground polluted creatures, stood up and looked straight to the side. His sight passed by, and far away, a thick gray and black pollution fog continued to rise from the entrance of an underground world. No contaminated underground creatures have crawled out of the hole. Zero has emptied them all, and the bottom of the hole has also been melted.

Zero is ready to leave from here. Relying on the characteristics of his own experimental body and the ability to swallow a large number of contaminated organisms, he needs a new round of supplementary knowledge in the fifth stage of surgery. The information stored in his head no longer meets his needs.

Thinking about the specific next move, he said "hmm", raised his head naturally, and nodded towards the front, but in a slightly downward direction, towards the ground: "Mr. Cassia?"

There was no response from the cold air, and the breath and vision disappeared quickly. After thinking for a while, No. 0 said to himself: "It seems that we should go back immediately."

Far away in a primeval forest near the southern forest in the Flame Alliance, Sisia was speeding up her training. The use of firearms, familiarity with cold weapons, swordsmanship and combat skills, etc., all fall within the scope of her training. There is a large amount of information in his head, covering all aspects of combat, from how to enter the battle field, to how one person faces a team of dozens of people; from the strength of the body's muscles, to the application scenarios of surgical development projects, etc. Different levels of detailed description.

All her training programs are based on these materials.

The more I practice, the more frustrated I get. Because she knows how much information is in her head and how far she has achieved it, she can always know how far she is from Cassia at the same strength.

He already has the title of Newborn Monster, and his strength is among the very few top strange beings among the members of the same generation. But the different goals make the so-called "monster" title more like a satire.

"I am a monster, so what is he?" Sisia often asked herself.

The training ended at this moment, and she went to sit down beside an ancient tree and prepared to rest. Out of her female intuition, she looked forward and tried to radiate her perception. She didn't feel anything, but she still tilted her head, with a look of surprise, "Mr. Cassia?"

In the southern forest, in the underground network that has greatly expanded, Cassiahei, who shuttled through the underground caves, was transporting the rocks he had carefully kneaded to various "ammunition storage warehouses". It seemed to be busy every moment, so that the sight and spiritual breath that appeared behind it were not noticed by it at all.

"Alas..." This time, it was Cassia's turn to sigh. Although the sighing sound was not captured by Cassiahei.

The scene seemed to be changing, Cassiahei even saw Oviria, and also saw a few enhanced experimental subjects, etc. He knew that this was not an illusion, and he also understood that he was still deep underground, in the root network of the ancient historical world tree, instead of going to various places in the post-phase continent in a short time.

The sight switched to different places, and finally returned to darkness. Cassia's spirit sighed. And thousands of meters away, the bone had a little light, and the stagnation signal that kept repeating in a cycle took a step forward at this moment...
