Steel steam and flame

When the sky got slightly brighter, Cassia opened her eyes, got out of the car and checked the status of the vehicle before starting on the road.

The distance was not far, and the reason for choosing daytime was more because he needed to find a hidden place to camouflage the truck. You can't drive into the forest, especially trucks loaded with cargo.

Hidden among several big trees, Cassia picked up the forged steel sword and went back and forth several times, cutting many branches to cover the entire truck. After doing this, he dragged a box out of the truck box, grabbed the basic weapons, put the forged steel sword on his back, and rushed towards the area where Cassie Hei was staying based on his body's sense of direction.

"I don't know if they will be waiting in that area." Cassia thought, after a few months, even in terms of the most basic predation, after a period of time, the second-type creatures in the southern forest, You should also feel that the area where Cassie Hei is is very dangerous.

After advancing for about a few hours, near noon, the sound of propellers spinning at high speed could be heard in the distance in the sky covered by green and yellow leaves. Flying very low, the ripples formed by the sound showed that these things were not far from their location.

Cassia was wary of her surroundings, feeling bad in her heart. He found a strong old tree and climbed to the middle. In his slightly brighter view, five gentle airships were connected in a straight line. The huge propellers set up at the tail stirred up the diffuse mist, carrying the huge The body flew forward diagonally.

Additional cabins were added under the huge buoyancy bladder filled with hydrogen. Behind the shadowed glass, Cassia vaguely saw groups of armed soldiers sitting neatly.

"Close to the empire and observe the people in the base." Cassia was hurrying up and thinking about the purpose of these people. There is no problem in loading two to three hundred people and supporting weapons on the five airships. They are obviously going to perform a mission somewhere in the forest. "Looking in the direction is a bit dangerous."

If the direction of the airship does not change, the route will go straight through the activity area he originally designated for Cassie Hei from the middle. But we are just considering this possibility. If a dragon is found at the edge of the forest, according to the established procedures, the Imperial Observation Base should report the situation immediately.

Without thinking much, Cassia sped up and hurried on. Soon after, more and more traces appeared on the surrounding ground and ancient trees. There were bullet marks on the tree trunk. It had been a while, and new shoots had begun to sprout around the bullet marks. According to Cassia's climate influence, these traces were all caused at least one or two months ago.

As the steps progressed, more and more traces of the battle began to appear. A large crater from the heavy artillery bombardment has appeared ahead. The shrapnel embedded in the trees has rusted in the humid environment. The red and yellow rusty water has attracted a lot of mold to gather. The ancient trees were blown up into pieces, and Cassia took care to avoid these areas and always allowed herself to move forward under the cover of the trees. But on the other hand, he also carefully observed the traces of damage caused by the battle that could be seen along the road.

Two or three hours later, Cassia stopped running at a steady speed and stood in front of a large pit. The effect can only be revealed by detonating a large amount of platinum gunpowder together. The rocks were also turned up, and a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was piled with a layer of twisted wreckage of various weapons and airships, as well as some things that Cassia cared about very much.

They were polished stone fragments, and the delicate smoothness could still be seen in the undamaged parts. Not far from the big pit, Cassia saw several ancient trees that had been chopped off. Although the section is already crowded with vigorous buds, it can still be seen that the fracture was cut from the middle by a sharp weapon.

Whether it was from the break, the location where the tree was cut, or the weapon needed to create such a mark, Cassia could only think of Cassie Heilai. The huge strength, as well as the rough giant sword made for him using the remains of the airship armor plate when he left, are all used to restore the scene at that time through the traces.

And in this vast forest, or in this area alone, it seems that Cassie is the only one who is interested in collecting stones for polishing.

Cassia climbed up the tree to determine the direction of the airship that had turned into a small dot, and caught up with it.

"At least there is good news now. The airship is still transporting armed personnel, which means that Cassia has not been captured by them now." I know it is to comfort myself, but Cassia is worried about whether dragons will be discovered in the Imperial Observation Base Report the news. If not, Cassie Hei's situation would be much better than he expected, and the people he faced would at least not be a professional team designed to deal with this kind of thing.

The further you go in the direction of the airship, the more traces there are around you. Soon, the dim light became brighter ahead. The charred buoyant frames of seven or eight empty boats were stacked up after being burned. The ground was full of large and small explosion craters. There were numerous bullet casings mixed in the soil, including platinum bullets and blue silver bullets.

Trees fell in pieces, leaving only their main branches charred in the spreading fire. More than ten meters behind, you can clearly see the traces left by the unburned vines. There is a shallow concave pit, which looks like a carefully built resting nest, just like a bird. The edge of the pit was filled with various broken stones. It was relatively well preserved. Cassia walked over and could even see several complete tactical knife models under the fragments.

They are all products polished layer by layer using hard minerals. They are very delicate, as if they were carved bit by bit by excellent human craftsmen using knives. Further away, following the spreading traces of the battle, Cassia saw huge footprints deeply imprinted on the ground, as well as a sword tip covered with white marks left by bullets. It was made by a pneumatic weapon, and the incisions have melt marks that have cooled down.

In the afternoon, Cassia had been following the landing tracks for several hours. The traces of the battle are getting deeper and deeper into the forest, but there is a turning point in the middle. When the traces are connected, it can be seen that the route begins to appear as an arc trajectory here. Only then did Cassia realize that during this period, it was not that Cassie was stuck with the people at the observation base, but that he was following the rules he had set for him when he left. the rule of.

He did not leave the designated area and was always inside and circling around with the people at the observation base. The team observing the base seems to have discovered this, because judging from the traces of subsequent battles, they have become more prepared, and they often find Cassie Hei's location very well.

For a moment, she felt a lot of unspeakable feelings welling up in her heart. Cassia opened her cross pupils and charged towards the direction of the airship at full speed.
