Chapter 117: Steampunk The Sound of the Blade
At one end, Lu Yuanwei and Zhu Teng had already walked straight towards the depths of the subspace, while Zhou Li at the other end was moving forward irregularly under the girl's seemingly random guidance.
Sometimes he walks straight, sometimes he turns around, and in this foggy world where there is no reference at all, Zhou Li turns left and right from time to time, zigzags forward.
Sometimes the girl would even make him wait for more than ten minutes or just turn back...... This made Zhou Li feel confused and incomprehensible.
It wasn't until halfway through the journey, when Zhou Li passed by a ten-meter-tall terrifying robot in the fog, that he turned his head to look at the girl who still looked indifferent.
Just now, in the thick fog, the heavy and terrifying humanoid robot trampled on the earth, roaring like thunder, and moving forward.
At a distance of tens of meters, the hideous shadow was projected in the mist, revealing a terrifying coercion that made people almost want to escape.
Fortunately, it didn't care about the two people who were like dust to him, and there was no trace of them in the dense fog from a distance of tens of meters, but it just walked towards the distance with the sound of countless gears spinning and moving.
Just when Zhou Li, who had palpitations, unfolded his ability and carefully observed the giant's hideous figure.
When Zhou Li's ability advanced to the 'magician' stage, the fog that originally seemed to be able to block his vision was also much weaker under the candlelight of his ability, but it still existed, enveloping the world like layers of light veils.
I don't know if Zhou Li was lucky, but within Zhou Li's field of vision, the Iron Giant showed his furious strength very wildly, trampling a group of migrating giant spiders to pieces.
The giant purple-red spider colonies, which were more than a meter in size, gathered into a mottled and terrifying river, and were advancing through the mist, all the creatures in their path were covered in spider silk and venom, and they were digested until there was no debris left.
And at the feet of the giant robot, which was covered in steel armor and rising with hot steam, it could only continue to shatter into a disgusting pulp and quickly evaporate.
Advancing in that terrifying form, the giant cut off the river of spiders that had converged, and in the end, it seemed to be completely enraged by the entangled spider swarm, countless whistles burst out with eardrum-shattering screams, and terrifying hot steam and flames erupted from his body.
In an instant, the spiders covering him and even within a radius of tens of meters were scorched by the flames, or completely turned into Cantonese snacks by steam.
After doing all this, the giant left without looking back, leaving the pale Zhou Li in place, and sighed in a low voice: This Nima large AOE is not allowed to live!
Perhaps judging purely from the perspective of the capable person, his strength is only about the peak of the third stage and the beginning of the fourth stage, but the division of the strength of the capable person is originally judged by the number of combat power that is not the value of combat power.
Among those with abilities, the division of strength after the third order will become more and more blurred, and the gap in combat power will become larger and larger; If you really fight, even a hundred auxiliary ability people can only kneel and cry in front of a combat ability, helplessly singing "Conquest".
From ancient times to the present, there has been no clear statement on what constitutes 'strong' - a peerless swordsman thrown into the wilderness to survive may not live as comfortably as a soldier trained in the wilderness, and it is more likely that he will die because he accidentally eats some flowery mushrooms that look very good.
But for the current Zhou Li, the giant steam robot that is rampant and domineering in front of him at the moment, and calmly leaves after stepping on how many giant spiders is 'strong'.
If you really want to fight it, it seems that Zhou Li, who is just an auxiliary ability, has no burning rack, and he can't even break the defense.
What he didn't know was that as one of the strongest beings born in this subspace, that terrifying robot had never faced any opponent who could compete with it on a frontal battlefield.
If it weren't for its lack of interest in killing and fighting, and just patrolling along fixed routes day in and day out, I'm afraid the creature that occupies the core of the subspace wouldn't be the one it is now.
I don't know which steampunk-controlled otaku came up with this thing from a dream...... This is not scientific!
It wasn't until the steaming robot disappeared for a long time that Zhou Li came to his senses and let out a sigh of relief.
Because of the chaotic spider swarm not far away, Zhou Li waited for a long time before they got back on the road, and they were almost discovered by the group of spiders because of a scurrying spider in the middle; Fortunately, Zhou Li's eyes were quick and he got rid of the spider that was running around after being trampled on a broken leg in time, otherwise I am afraid that this time I would have to continue to escape.
Leaning on Zhou Li's shoulder, the girl looked at his extremely complicated helpless expression seriously, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and she raised her finger again and pointed forward: "Over there." ”
"Okay, that's over there."
Zhou Li nodded, slightly lifted the girl who was a little slipping behind him, and inadvertently pressed his palm on the two soft buttocks, and then quickly let go of his hand as if he had touched a soldering iron, almost throwing the girl down.
After a long time, Zhou Li looked at his shoulder in embarrassment, but the girl didn't seem to feel anything, just looked at Zhou Li suspiciously.
Looked at by this pure and suspicious gaze, Zhou Wei's guilt and the urge to 'uncle take you to play a game' became stronger and stronger...... But forget it, doing something too much to such a little girl who doesn't know anything will thunder and thunder.
Looking at her puzzled eyes, Zhou Li just smiled, turned his head and continued to walk forward, moving forward on the tortuous road.
And on the other end, Lu Yuanwei, who was swaying resonance and sound waves, went straight all the way, completely tearing everything he saw into pieces.
And right in front of them, they vaguely saw the Iron Giant roaring with the sound of a whistle.
Standing in place in shock, Zhu Teng looked at the hideous robot that was becoming clearer and clearer in the fog, and couldn't help but moan in his throat: "Nima......"
…… And in the depths of the mist, Zhou Li finally ran into a little trouble after bypassing the three xenotribes and rubbing shoulders with spiders and snakes.
In the rippling fog ahead, dozens of plastic models with various bloody murder weapons were limping and swaying, walking with no pattern at all, but staggering towards them.
When Zhou Li was about to retreat, he was pulled by the collar and shook his head slightly.
This time it was Zhou Li's bad luck, because he had to avoid the trajectory of the giant's advance, but his speed was a little slower, and he happened to be blocked in the middle by the route of the two groups of monsters. In front is a group of deformed killers, plastic models, and in the back is a group of zombies with blurred flesh and blood...... What the is this tertiary film unfolding, it!
Zhou Li was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the girl beside him: "Rush over?" ”
After thinking for a moment, the girl nodded slightly, and then struggled to climb off Zhou Li's back, tugging at his sleeve, signaling that this would be fine.
Zhou Li looked at the pale girl with some concern, and asked in a low voice, "Is there no problem?" ”
The girl nodded lightly and looked at him silently.
After Zhou Li thought for a while, he stretched out his hand to hold the cold little hand that was pulling his sleeve: "It's okay to hold it like this, but be careful not to fall." ”
Held by Zhou Li's hand, the girl's slender and small palm felt the warmth close at hand, and after trembling for a while, she clenched his palm hard, revealing a smile.
Gently rubbing the long black hair floating in the thick fog behind her head, Zhou Li nodded: "Then let's go." ”
In the mist, there was a cold sound of steel trembling, clear and cold, like the ice breaking above a spring, and thousands of bees flapping their wings and buzzing.
The wisps of mist were pulled by the power diffused in Zhou Li's outstretched right hand, vaguely forming a vague blade shape, swirling around it, permeating with a chill that made people feel cold.
If Yao Huche was still here, he would definitely recognize what appeared in Zhou Li's hand for the first time - it was the invisible sword that had taken countless lives in the hands of Ghost Cut. Blade of Wailing!
Ever since the ghost cut died, it had been robbed of all its energy by the silver tree-shaped diagram of Zhou Li's mouth, and then pulled into Zhou Li's body.
Zhou Li, who originally had certain expectations for it, could only give up the idea of controlling this 'Apocalypse-level Weapon' after several calls to no avail.
However, just after Zhou Li was promoted to the 'second stage. After the magician', this 'uncle', who has been living in Zhou Li's body, eating for nothing and not paying rent, is finally willing to respond to Zhou Li's call.
Unlike the World Tree, the conditions for using an Apocalypse-level weapon like the 'Wailing Blade' are extremely harsh - some Apocalypse-level weapons can only be used once a year, and some must meet certain harsh conditions before they can be activated.
Compared to them, the conditions of the Crying Blade here are too easy to speak, and it only needs to reach the second stage of spiritual power to reluctantly activate it and manifest it.
As for the ability to unseal 100% of the 'Liberation Form', even the unique ability of the Apocalypse Armament, and the ability to release more than 150% of the 'Apocalypse Form'...... That was still too far away for Zhou Li.
However, even if it is only to the extent of 'usual drive', it is a rare combat power for the current Zhou Li.
To be honest, this handful of melee weapons in the Apocalypse armament is a few sharp weapons, and in the hands of Zhou Li, who has never been good at hand-to-hand combat, it does have a feeling of a pearl secretly casting, but this does not prevent Zhou Li from exerting part of its original lethality in a short period of time.
When I peeled off the life pattern of the ghost cut, the ghost cut was still alive.
At that time, Zhou Li urged the World Tree with all his strength, and as a result, not only the other party's life pattern, but also the memory in the soul was completely plundered.
Although Zhou Li was troublesome, he had always sealed it in the World Tree and never used it, but once Zhou Li began to rummage through it, he really understood. In the memory, life pattern, and armament, this is the most precious thing left behind by the ghost cut!
