I swung a high-temperature flame at the mobile unit.

"Get in the car!"

The merfolk quickly jumped into the carriage and roared angrily at those who were blocked by the flames.

Shi Ma quickly got into the passenger seat, skillfully grabbed the handle above his head, and let out a high-pitched cry, and the screams of the mermaids in the rear compartment stopped.

I looked behind me in the rearview mirror, and the walls and ladders were melted by my flames, falling down in chunks, and the flames were still burning brightly, and it seemed that they could hold the troops back for a while.

I increased the throttle, slammed the barrier of the barrier, and drove the large armored vehicle out of the institute amid the sound of system alarms.

But this is only our first step towards the light, and we have more to go.

The next winding mountain road will test not only the driving skills, but also the ability to react in the face of danger. If you want to get to the beach in the shortest distance, you should abandon the winding roads and take the straight mountain roads, but this is too risky for large armored vehicles, and with the heavy loads on the carriages, it is possible to destroy the car and kill people if you are not careful.

So I had no choice but to take the road that was paved artificially and prepared for the dangers and difficulties.

"Release," I hurriedly told him as I got my bearings, "there are miniature cameras and needle shooters on both sides of the road, please find a way to solve them." ”

"Wata." Shi nodded, and jumped out of the window, and I saw through the rearview mirror that he was leading the merfolk to shoot water guns at both sides of the road, shattering miniature cameras and needle shooters.

They did a great job of solving the trouble, even the ferocious beasts that rushed at them from time to time, and Shi no longer stayed in the car, but sat on the roof of the car so that he could see his surroundings at any time.

If nothing else, we will be able to maintain this speed and cooperation to reach the beach smoothly.

However, the personnel of the institute obviously would not let us go so lightly.

The sound of propellers sounded not far away, and I was taken aback and immediately shouted, "Go back to the carriage!" ”

As soon as the sound fell, I heard the sound of cannonballs coming down from the sky, and in a hurry, I immediately turned around and rushed into the forest. I know that the speed of an armored vehicle cannot be compared with a high-altitude bomb, but if it is attacked by a shell on the main road, it will take more damage.

"Whoa!"

God, Shi is still outside.

"Shi, come back quickly!"

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded suddenly, a strong wave of air struck with a hot wind, and the armored car rolled up uncontrollably, but fortunately I had been prepared, and the moment the armored car took off, I threw itself out, accompanied by the sound of bombardment that had not stopped, and rolled on the ground several times.

I heard the roar getting farther and farther away, and I didn't know how long I rolled, and it was a long time before I was dizzy and stopped. The loud roar caused piercing tinnitus in my ears, and the dregs of the soil scraped through my skin, and blood poured out.

I didn't care about my injuries, and I braced myself up in a panic, looking for the figure of Shi. Fortunately, he did not have any major problems, and was under the cover of armored vehicles, launching a water wave attack on the helicopter above.

The helicopter nimbly evaded. I opened my eyes wide and saw five more helicopters flying not far away, each with its own hatch open, each with an armed man carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder, the muzzle of which was being aimed at the release.

Damn it!

I gritted my teeth and ran towards Shi as I shouted, "Shi, run, don't stop ......there," I was speechless.

When I got closer, I realized why Shi had stayed under the armored car and didn't leave, no, to be precise, he stayed there and didn't leave. The gasoline of the armored car kept leaking, and as long as there was a little spark, there would be a big explosion there, and Shi should have understood this, but he didn't leave because there were several dying mermaids under the car, and they were still breathing, and they were still gritting their teeth and struggling to hold the soil with their hands, trying to push off the bulky armored car on their bodies.

"Brake Tooth Wa, Brake Tooth Watt!" Shi is encouraging them, protecting them, and buying them a little time.

- "A good leader will choose to stand in front of his peers with a gun instead of running away." ”

What the instructor said to me suddenly came to my mind when I refused to fight with a firearm because of Eddard and was persuaded to quit the "Falcon" organization, although I didn't agree with his incomprehension, I must admit that his words were very reasonable, and now, Shi has put his words into practice.

Shakti is a well-deserved leader, a great leader, and he is protecting his companions with his own flesh and blood.

I couldn't help but burst into tears, and a surging blood that seemed to have been hidden for a long time suddenly rose from my chest and burned my heart like a fire.

It's been a long time, this kind of bloody impulse, since the numb tribesmen gave up resistance, since Ed's death extinguished my enthusiasm, there has been no such impulse to protect or save anything for a long time, even if it is to save the clansmen, it is just an obsession for a long time.

yes, Sals, didn't you say you'd like to protect your little mermaid? He was protecting us until now, and now it's your turn to protect him.

There was no time, I pushed my hands to the ground, and gave birth to six flame whirlwinds, whistling towards the helicopter, the flame whirlwind seems to be amazingly powerful, but the effect against high-speed moving objects is very poor, not to mention that the flame whirlwind has a limited burning height, as long as the helicopter flies high in the air, it can avoid the flame whirlwind.

But I'm just going to move the helicopter high in the air and let the crosshair shift in the direction of release.

"Man, where are you looking, your opponent, it's me!" I shouted in the direction of the air, gathered two fierce flames with both hands and hit the ground, and at the same time jumped upward, under the recoil of the flames, I jumped several times higher than usual, and then quickly cooperated with the fire bar that shook to the tall tree, and in just ten seconds, I rushed into the air several meters high. And at this time, I swear, the people on the helicopter didn't have time to turn their guns on me.

You only get one chance.

I quickly raised the temperature of the flames to the extreme, spread my hands out, and six huge black fireballs swam around my body like bright red suns, and the center of the fireballs cracked like a victory cheer......

Burn, angry flames!

Like a blazing meteorite, the fireball bombarded each of the six helicopters with a powerful impact, hitting the fuselage with unmistakable accuracy.

Rumble! The explosion resounded in the sky, the helicopter exploded like fireworks with thick smoke, and the aftermath of the powerful fire wind swept violently around the body, making the air extremely hot, and before the body and personnel fell to the ground, they were melted into ashes by the high-temperature flames, leaving only a little black residue scattered to the ground.

I did it.

But without the support of the flames, I began to fall.

I had just breathed a sigh of relief when I suddenly lifted it up again.

Oops, the ashes of the helicopter still carry sparks, and if they fall right on the gasoline......

"Release!"

"Whoa!"

Before I could say a word to warn me, the water particles in the air seemed to be sucked away, gathering in Shi's hands, spinning and spraying ashes at the helicopter.

The spark went out.

While feeling glad, I was worried to see that the armored car was not lifted, it was too bulky, and the mermaid was too moist. Due to the slippery slime and the lack of feet to get ground reaction forces, it may not be easy to lift the armored vehicle by brute force.

At this time, my gaze swept and landed in a place.

Hetty's Lair.

To be honest, I had thought about escaping here with the help of Hetty's powers, but when the plan came to fruition, I gave up on the idea because I had more allies than I expected, but now it was time to seek Hetty's help.

"Shi, you stay here with them and wait for me." I dropped a word, flicked the fire bar to the trunk of the tree, and swung out. I made it to Hetty's lair in this effortless and convenient way.

This place is the same as when I came before, nothing has changed, except that this time I have come in person.

The air was filled with a sweltering heat, and even the ground was unbelievably hot as if it had been placed on a shelf.

I formed a ring of fire around my body, walked outside the mouth of the nest, took a deep breath, and sent a flame into the □□.

It wasn't long before the ground shook violently, the rubble on the ground bounced wildly, and a behemoth was approaching the exit......

"Whoosh-"

With a howling wind, Hetty's massive figure burst into my sight, and the moment I saw it rushing towards it, I used the flames on the ground and bounced off its brute force with the force of the recoil.

It's hard to imagine that a creature of Hetty's size has a very fast reaction ability, and almost at the same time as losing my target, it stopped its foot, and then flicked its thick tail and swept around, and as soon as I jumped up to avoid it, it immediately quickly turned around and opened its bloody mouth to bite me.

I broke out in a cold sweat, and my reflexes were noticeably reduced when I was injured, and when I fought it face-to-face, I realized that it was much more difficult to deal with than I had imagined. I shot a flame into its mouth, and it spewed flames at me at the same time, the two flames clashing and canceling each other out, but the aftermath sent me into the air, and Hetty didn't move a single step.

It seemed to notice that I was the one who had blinded one of its eyes, and immediately raised its head and let out an angry roar, flicking its tail and sweeping it over, spewing powerful flames.

Its sheer size doesn't affect agility, it makes it intimidating. I stood in front of it, as small as an ant, and the shadow of its head alone could envelop me.

Thankfully, the flames didn't hurt me, but after a few head-to-head encounters, nothing progressed except for a few scales I had injured Hetty, but I could clearly feel that my body was wearing down rapidly, the wound on my right shoulder was cracking, and the pain was spreading like a spider's web to all parts of my body.

Damn, I'm going to have to do everything I can to subdue this big creature that doesn't really do it.

As if after several unsuccessful attacks, the clever creature stopped its reckless movements, and Hetty was watching me, flicking its tail around me, sometimes sniffing at the air with its nose, sometimes opening its crimson pupils into a vertical line, and assuming a posture ready to attack.

The red pupils were so terrifying that I could clearly see my reflection in the pupils.

Sals, calm down, you don't have the extra body to fight it for a long time, think about how you hurt its eyes in the first place, find the right time, and use all your strength to deal a fatal blow to it.

I took a deep breath, bent my knees, spread my hands, arched my body in an attack stance,

"Huh." Hetty spewed two breaths of fire out of his nose, and although I couldn't read its facial expressions, I guessed it must be scorning me.

Well, it seems that there needs to be a deeper level of communication, like about something that Hertie hates.

I pointed to its head: "I know you have a neural sensor chip implanted in your scalp, and it is very painful for you. I swear, if you help me, I can help you remove the neural sensor chip, and if you want, I can even take you out of here away from the humans who have bound you. ”

Hetty's umbrella film is showing signs of loosening, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be shaking.

I struck while it was hot: "Hetty, you belong to the forest, and you should have the right to pursue freedom, but look at the fact that you are trapped in this little lair, enslaved by humans who are smaller than you, acting at their orders, and being insulted by them. "I slowly straightened my legs, flattened my breath, and put away my aggressive stance—if I wanted to convince the other person with words, I had to put away my hostility first.

When Hetty heard the words "enslavement" and "insults", it spewed a fiery breath from its nose, and it seemed that it was also quite unhappy with the Nord's behavior. Its erect pupils gradually reverted to their original shape, tilting its head to look at me, as if to confirm the credibility of my words.

I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Hetty wavered a little, it was enough, and then please let me prove my integrity with practical actions.

I took a few steps back, took a few deep breaths, and lunged at Hetty, who had not yet reacted, and as I was about to approach her, I threw a powerful burst of fire at the ground as a bouncing power, leaped onto Hetty's tall head, turned into a flaming dagger, and stabbed hard at the obviously different colored scales on her scalp.

"Huh-" Hetty let out a scream of pain and ran directionlessly, his limbs scraping the gravel of the ground and his thick tail flicking wildly.

"Be quiet," I patted Hettie's head, trying to comfort it in a gentle tone, "I'm helping you get rid of the neural sensor chip, and if you don't want to continue to be bothered by this thing, bear with it." ”

Hetty's running slowed down, and his tail regained its original shape, no longer moving, and apparently it understood me, and with a disgruntled roar, it stopped moving.

I breathed a sigh of relief and made the next move on the scale. The neural sensor chip has wires connected to the nerves, and if you follow the normal method, you need to use a special tool to slowly disassemble it, but obviously I don't have that kind of tool, so I have to use a violent way to dismantle it.

"Bear with it, buddy, it might hurt." I carefully cut the scales to reveal the neural sensor chip, and of course, in the process, Hetty shook a few times due to the pain, but it obediently did not hit it sharply, which brought me a lot of convenience. Now comes the most important part, I have to cut those wires in the fastest way possible, because once one of the wires is broken, the remaining wires will activate the automatic defense system, which will cause damage to Hetty at some point.

"Are you ready?" I saw Hetty shake her head and turn into another flaming dagger while aiming it at the four wires, taking a deep breath and quickly cutting the wires.

"Whew!" Hetty's body suddenly trembled violently as if it had been shocked, and then slammed to the ground, and there was no movement.

God, what's going on.

I patted Hetty's head in surprise, but there was no response, and I pushed its eyelids open, its pupils dilated and out of focus. Thankfully, it was still breathing, but it was so faint that it barely felt it.

"Boom-"

At this moment, a loud roar was heard not far away, and at the same time, a mushroom cloud of white smoke rose somewhere in the forest, and it looked like a fierce battle was going on there.

Release is dangerous! I can't wait, I have to rush back as much as I can.

I was about to jump off with my head propped up and down, when my body suddenly rose and fell, and I saw Hetty shake her head and stand up, let out an angry roar to the sky, and then looked sideways at me.

There was no longer bloodthirsty murder in the red eyes, but full of ...... Well, how to say, the excitement after being reborn? Yes, like being reborn from the ashes, Hetty is full of fighting spirit.

I tentatively touched Hetty's head, and it moved obediently in the direction of my hand, and it seemed that it was no longer wary of me.

Relieved, I rode on it and pointed in the direction of the smoke, "Let's go, my friend." ”
