Steel steam and flame

After the red light disappeared, the sky turned black again. A little bit of light has penetrated the snow cloud blockade and fallen on the snow. Cassia estimated that the visual field distance was about a hundred meters, and what he could see was very limited. Even if he concentrated hard, he could not find other assessors in the same environment. Almost all of them are wearing cold-proof clothes with natural mimic function, and temperature sensing ability will play a huge role in this weather.

The mountain peak that was used as a reference coordinate had exposed a large area of ​​pure black shadow. Cassia corrected her direction in time. After eating a bag of food, she sped up and went on her way.

There won't be a lot of food with me. If we consume it at the current rate, it will be used up in two days. The rest of the time can only be compared with each other's physical fitness, or actively looking for food. The soon-to-be-released Class II creatures will be a major source of food, and those dormant plant roots will provide a considerable source of food.

Cassia felt that the assessment would not be that simple. The rules stated that this was a rough idea, even though the location of the assessment area had been announced in advance. The assessment is to select those with the best overall strength. Strong personal strength will increase the chance of obtaining a quota, but you must also have brains.

"It is estimated that the second-category creatures will be injected with some long-standing biological agents in advance and can be eaten, but the side effects will definitely be proportional to the amount of food consumed." Cassia guessed that she just had no idea about her own constitution. any impact. Among the types of biological poisons used to deal with the three stages of surgery, there is probably nothing that can affect you.

The worry is that Ye Jielin will not have any advantage during the operation stage. Cassia can only place her hopes on the Webley family. Ye Jielin will definitely be more prepared than herself. After considering this problem, it is impossible for her not to use her family's advantages to solve the problem of food energy in the assessment.

Five hours later, Cassia crouched down and crawled forward slowly through the snow. He would do this every once in a while to artificially eliminate the traces of his progress to prevent anyone from following him. The closer we get to several mountain peaks, the denser the traces of other assessors around us. At that time, Cassia chose to move in the far direction. Cassia wanted to accumulate more physical strength in the early stage. Before going to the location where the iron box was hidden, prematurely participating in the competition among the assessors would only waste time and energy. .

The complexity of the environment, the vastness of the area, and the level of strength of the assessors require a high degree of concentration when hunting each assessor. At noon, the field of vision in the open area was only a few hundred meters. Without strong perception, exposing one's position prematurely will only increase injuries and the probability of death.

When the night came early the next day, the huge red signal flare appeared in the air again. Cassia had already found a short resting place at this time. He dug a trough in a piece of hard ice, barely buried himself in it, closed his eyes and rested.

A few minutes later, there was a crisp sound of ice breaking, followed by the sound of steel colliding.

"Class II creature!" Cassia made a low voice. On the snow more than 700 meters away, a steel frame more than three meters high had appeared. The huge figure depicted by the sound waves seemed to be a bear, at least one of it Several characteristics are basically consistent.

When he walked out of the iron box, he looked around. Seeing the giant bear leaving in another direction, Cassia went to rest again. The night is not suitable for traveling, and now is the time when the second type of creatures in the assessment are released. Cassia decides to wait until the irritability of these creatures being imprisoned is relieved a little before setting off.

Shortly afterwards, there were continuous gunshots and roars in the distance. In the second half of the night, the silent world of ice and snow suddenly became much more lively, and there was no longer only the "squeaking" sound of the snow for company.

For some reason, Cassia felt a lot more at ease after the second type of creature was released. Soon he entered a semi-sleep state. Maybe it's because there are second-type creatures that involve other examiners, Cassia thought before taking a rest.

At the same time, numerous steel frames broke through the ice from under the snow and rose up throughout the assessment area. Most of the species are creatures with thick fat and fur, but there are many creatures that are often seen in forest environments, such as some lizards that are several meters long. One of these species is the source of the natural mimicry function of combat uniforms. There are also some python species, which are thirty or forty meters long, and their body diameter is almost two meters, and the snow cannot hide their bodies. With almost no eyesight and relying on temperature sensing to hunt, the cold environment made them the first creatures to swallow food.

In the days leading up to the blizzard, the windless weather made the smell another deadly sign. While the desire for eating and attacking of creatures of the second type has been strengthened, other abilities have also become much stronger under the stimulation of boiling blood. If there is bright light, you can find that these creatures have changed to varying degrees, which is a reflection of the draconic transformation of their hair and scales. Ordinary soft fur is mixed with some horny spikes, or the scales become harder.

The movement continued until Cassia woke up from her rest. He kept his body still and simply opened his eyes. Through the ice that covered him, he could see that the light had just fallen and it was all gray and black.

The first thing is to make a sound, and the spreading ripples depict the surrounding scene. There was silence visible to the eye within a radius of a kilometer. Cassia took a few deep breaths and in a short time activated her body that was almost frozen in the extreme cold. Then he controlled his body temperature so that he would not become the target of the second-type creature and other assessors due to the heat source.

Just as he was about to push away the ice covering his body, Cassia Adam retracted his hand. A slight vibration came from the left, and a few seconds later, within the sensing range, several figures running at high speed broke in. The sound of gunshots swept away the surface of the snow, and something that seemed to be invisible appeared in the perception.

Cassia became alert, and while increasing the frequency of the sound, one of the running people suddenly fell down. The crowd dispersed immediately, and the gunshots became chaotic at this moment. A thin line-like thing less than two meters long was captured by Cassia. Compared to the huge range of perception, the extremely fast running creature indeed seemed small, somewhat similar to a snake whose body shape had not changed. The speed was very fast, reaching 100 meters in about two seconds. Even though the crowd dispersed and fled, they caught up in the next moment.

The omen of death inspired these people to increase their speed again, and the place Cassia chose while resting became their next target. Dozens of pieces of solid ice buried in snow might be able to serve as their own cover. The remaining four people had the same idea. Creatures with both speed and penetrating power needed something harder to resist. The four people changed directions at the same time and gathered here in a roundabout way.

"Next time I should just lie down in the snow and rest." Cassia said. These rock-like solid ice seemed to have been squeezed out by the ice beneath the feet at some point, and had been mostly covered by snow. But being out in the open far away from the summit does make it easier to target than rolling snow, even just a little bit.
