With a rate of fire close to a metal storm, Saya spewed out large swaths of crystal clear "bullets" like tiny crystals. The "Robot Head Fly Snake" shattered in the rain of crystal bullets, and at the same time, a faint white smoke was emitted.

However, there were too many "flies and snakes", and Saya's strafing was just a wave in the snake tide, and a large group of "flies and snakes" leaped up again, shooting dense needle rain towards the meat ball in mid-air.

"I blow ...... Blow, blow, blow!"

Saya, who has turned into a ball, speaks as shrill as a child. The holes in the belly eject a strong air current, which acts as a defense.

At the same time, Athom also acted.

Although he and Saya do not share the same sky, when it comes to fighting, this young man with a tin still knows a lot. He leaped high, his arms popping out of umbrella-like metal bars, stretching into two "umbrella shields", splashing large sparks to cover himself and Saya.

Then he landed with a thud, his two mechanical arms stretched long, and his umbrella shield stretched out like wings, continuing to cover Saya. Clouds of smoke and dust came out of his feet, driving his steel body into the swarm. A pair of natural arms hold metal rods to break up the "flies and snakes". Another pair of robotic arms ejected rusty blades from the ends, stirring up a sticky rain of black water.

"Do you want to die? don't think your rusty iron can hold me from my bodily fluid shot!"

"I've never seen this kind of enemy before, I've at least dealt with meat bugs!"

The two fought and scolded, but one was close and the other was long-range, and they cooperated very tacitly.

Working so hard and desperately, and trying to suppress each other's hatred, naturally I want the witches to see what they are capable of. Along the way, whatever threats she encountered, it was Tina who had the early warning, Karin attacked, Retana defended, and Oresa grabbed the head with a sword...... Oh, weird head, the two of them barely did much, just doing some work as guides.

Relying on his steel armor, Athom rushed unstoppably into the swarm, and the "blender" in his hand harvested a large area of strange insects. With him attracting the swarm and umbrella shield cover, Saya shot neatly in the air, and it seemed that she had the upper hand, and the witches of the Red Union had no chance to make a move.

However, the witches struck out, and Retana waved her hand to rain down countless pale gold shields, covering Atom and Saya at the same time. Oresha and even Karin were overflowing with dark gold and emerald green light, and they looked like they were about to make a big move.

The tin man and the meat ball man want to shout together, it's really bullying!

At this moment, the strange insect suddenly burst into a deep purple light, and it was blazing brightly, and it was originally an aggregation of small snakes, which quickly condensed together and turned into a large cloud of dazzling purple light.

"It's much more pleasing to the eye......"

Karin shouted in the air, "It's so much burner!"

Before the purple light, which was fifty or sixty meters high and wide, dimmed, Karin's rolling body clicked and twisted, turning into a slender dragon, and the dragon's head poked down, spewing out a turbulent white flame, engulfing the purple light in an instant.

The crackling sound exploded in the flames, and then scattered out from the light cluster like a salute flower, causing the ground to boil like a boiling oil pot.

Atom's mechanical arm drooped, and Saya snorted, both frightened.

The swarm gathered a new form, and it wasn't for the witches who struck first and destroyed this move, they really couldn't dodge.

The combined insect swarm melted layer by layer in the white flame, but as if it could heal instantly, it was still trying to fill the gap and maintain its form.

The dark golden arrow light penetrated the monster, and it was fleeting, and a few small clouds of purple light burst out, and the insect swarm stagnated, and could no longer heal and be reborn, turning into green smoke in the white flames until it disappeared.

Saya in the air was like a child who had been robbed of a lollipop, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that you don't show your ability?"

Atom's focus was not here, he looked at the black and white dragon in the air, a pair of dragon eyes wrapped in black circles, and the eyes were almost together, and he was amazed: "What kind of dragon is this?"

"This is the ...... of Fat Dalong"

Karin's dragon turned into a perfunctory conversation about her strange dragon form replied to Saya, "Tina has made a discovery earlier, so we don't have to hide our identities anymore." ”

Letana sighed: "It is said that it is a tongue grabbing, and it always feels that Her Highness Tina has become a tongue herself." ”

She smiled again: "Fortunately, nothing happened, let's hurry over." ”

The three witches unfolded their witch armaments, stretched eight steel mechanical legs around their waists, and used the Overseer Mecha to move quickly through the complex terrain of jungle and ruins.

Atom and Saya were hitched behind the mechs by Retana and Oressa, respectively, and it was the first time they had seen witches in this form.

Saya asked Oressa, "You seem to be able to change in a thousand ways, and you are even stranger than we are." ”

"How can it be strange?" Oretha said: "These things are all machines, they are attached to our bodies, they are weapons for battle and tools of labor, they are not changed in their own form. ”

Saya sighed: "Yes, I'm also starting to think that our meat balls are actually very abnormal. ”

Oretha comforted, "Don't think so, you can still recover to ...... The solid human form indicates that it has not completely changed into another creature. ”

Saya sighed even louder: "Many of the young Flesh Ball people feel that it is no longer necessary to revert to their human form, and they have even developed a new language under the sphere form. In a few tens or hundreds of years, I'm afraid that no meat ball person will remember that he still has the form of a solid person. ”

Oresha was stunned, looked at Athom, who was also talking to Retana in front of her, and smiled bitterly: "That's really troublesome, you are actually exactly like us, the way you are now is not a natural evolution, but a ghost made by an arcanist." ”

Saya continued to exhale, her original plump figure shrunk into a rib beauty, and her tone was extremely bitter: "But many people think that a hollow person is a perfect form for themselves, and a solid person form is too cumbersome, and they would rather become a new creature." ”

Oresha was silent for a moment, and then said leisurely: "We will solve this problem, not that we will force you to make a choice, but we will find a way to make you not make that choice." Whether you want to be a new creature or not, it won't make a hollow person like you suffer as much as you do now. ”

She smiled faintly: "For example, it will be easier for you to change the two forms, and not only will there be no trouble in returning to the state of a solid person, but you can also enjoy the same treatment as other solid people." ”

"The Magical Weapons Research Institute is going to be very interested in you, and they're short of new projects. They'll quickly come up with a ...... that works for you The hollow man armament, just like the witch armament on my body, when the hollow form is only a special form that you use to fight and labor, under normal circumstances, you are still human, and the body structure is a little special. ”

Saya nodded yearningly, but shook her head again: "There will always be hollow people who don't think that the state of a solid person is necessary, they already think that what is round is beautiful, and all solid people are barbaric and ugly." ”

Oresha realized: "Do you already feel like a new being?"

Antom also asked Retana in an incomprehensible tone, "Why don't you fix it to your body, connect with flesh and blood, and become a part of your body?" ”

Letana subconsciously said, "No one likes to look like a praying mantis...... Uh, sorry I didn't mean you. ”

Athom spread out his six palms at the same time: "It doesn't matter, we are very different after all. Before, I saw that you always only had two hands and two legs, and I always felt that you were pitifully weak, but now that you have so many extra legs, I feel that it is much more pleasing to the eye. ”

Retana almost choked, she was a little more serious: "Whether it looks good or not is just a result, the real difference is the evolution of creatures under environmental selection." ”

"For us human beings, more parts are not always better, because each part has to be controlled by the head. ”

"Why do the vast majority of humanoids, and the higher ones, have only five fingers and toes? ”

She asked curiously, "Atom, will your four mechanical arms be natural to use, and each one will be like the original arm on your body?"

Antom's tone became proud: "Of course, I have worked hard to train me, without such ability, how can I be selected by the village to follow you on an adventure?"

Letana sighed: "In other words, this is not the natural ability of you Tin Skins, only a few very special people can do it. ”

Athom paused for a moment and muttered, "That's true, but if we don't resist the erosion of ironskin, and eventually become a mechanical monster, it should be a natural ability." ”

Letana said mercilessly, "After all, it's a monster who doesn't even have a mind." ”

Atom said gloomily, "You mean, our current state is abnormal, are we monsters?"

Letana nodded: "You see, we don't need to attach the mechanical arm to the flesh, just install it on the body like wearing clothes or holding a weapon, and we can do what you can do." ”

Athom shook his head and said, "But we have to fight the enemy at all times, and we can react faster if we keep it this way, and we don't feel the need to make ourselves into this state of weakness that can only be enjoyed." ”

Karin's voice rang out, "So, Athom, you have to ask you what the meaning of the Tin Man's life is. ”

"In order to stop the ironskin, to resist the flesh monster, you have become like this. ”

"If you really become a new life, is that what you're here for?

Athom was dazed: "Is there anything wrong with this......? Isn't it just to live, to live?"

Karin said, "No, just as a man eats to live, man does not live to eat. Of course, life has to survive to make sense, but it does not mean that the meaning of life is to survive. ”

As soon as she said this, Karin suddenly muttered to herself: "The change between the Tin Man and the Meat Man is like a large-scale mutation in the genes for a specific environment, and it has become very targeted. If the environment changes again, these targets will not only be ineffective, but will become a huge burden, and they will have a harder time adapting to the new environment than normal humans. ”

"If a god is also compared to a certain mutation, why emphasize maintaining the heart of a mortal? The reason is that after becoming a god, the path of evolution is solidified, and there is no other possibility than to continue along the path of the power of faith, and it is impossible to adapt to the wider environment. ”

"Why insist on the mortal heart, and the mortal form? Because this is a minimalist state, a starting point that can go in any direction, adapt to any environment. If you lose this starting point, you will never come back, and you will no longer have universal ability. ”

"I seem to understand a little more, if the meaning of life lies in evolution, then evolution is not simply becoming stronger, but having more possibilities and adapting to more environments, which also corresponds to the expansion of life movement. The more advanced the life, the more it will break through the original environment and enter a new world. ”

"So, freedom to live means ......"

Atom asked in a low voice, "Karin...... What is Your Majesty talking about?"

"I don't understand it either, but when she understands it completely, maybe your problem will be solved." ”

"I'm going to get it soon!"

Karin heard this, and said eagerly, "I have to find a place to go to Zen! Damn it, why is it that Finny can break through just sleeping and with Li Qi, and then I will have an epiphany!

As soon as he finished speaking, the toppled tower in the center of the royal capital in the distance shook, and he vaguely saw thick smoke and dust spewing out from somewhere in the tower.

In the witch channel, Tina shouted: "It's over, it's over! My SAN value is gone! Come on, people! Hurry up and recharge me!"

"Tina, what are you yelling at here?"

Aurora, who was sitting in the New World, reprimanded: "This is the Witch Channel, not the Tinneway Operation Channel!"

Tina pleaded: "No, it's not just about Tinneway, forget it, I can't tell it clearly, you can see for yourself!"

She posted a video that looked like it wasn't that long ago.

The video is a first-person view of Tina, who has just made her way through a cluttered underground passage that looks like a spider's nest and into the inside of the tower.

This tower is the place where the energy intensity of the Tinneway plane is the highest and most active in the Advance Team Source Mana Field Scanner, and if there is an Arcanist, it must be here.

Tina walks through passages that resemble the style of Everbier's base, and uses her mind to subtitle the video.

"My soul senses have been severely disturbed, the same as the scattered spirit that covers the royal capital, but with a higher intensity. I really don't know how these spirits kept in a state of dissipation, but they didn't dissipate like smoke and dust. ”

"I hope our Lingzi experts can figure it out, otherwise the Goddess of Order or other enemies will come to this end, and our 3-in-1 scanner will be stripped of two-thirds of its functionality. ”

"The space set-up, the wall panels, the flooring and this ...... The modern doors are very similar to those in the base of Everbier, and I don't have to say, it was the arcanists who were the ones who led the way. ”

"There are lights ahead, and so I sensed very vague soul fluctuations, but unfortunately the sensing is incomplete, and I can't tell if it's one or several, or...... Not even one?"

"Look at me sneaking in, I've figured out the structure of the wall panels, and I have ruled out the existence of space traps and barriers, I can go directly through the wall......"

"It's a place that looks a lot like an operating room, there is a guy sitting with his back to me, wearing a strange robe, not moving, but I feel a clear breath of life, but the state of the soul is a little strange......"

"Three-meter, two-meter, one-meter......"

"I can turn him over with just a gentle breath. ”

"This isn't a new magic spell, and I'm not going to charm and paralyze it. Here's how it went, I let out a breath of pure death power to make his soul trance, and then I pulled out the needle and injected the paralyzing potion into his body. ”

A thick needle tube held in her hand came into view, and Tina continued to approach.

The vision blurred for a moment, the light and darkness changed, and Tina lifted her invisibility and really sighed at the man.

As soon as the needle was raised, the man not only did not froze, but turned around.

A very impactful scene made the witches who were nervously watching the video, including Li Qi, subconsciously scream.

It was a human face that seemed to be made up of countless small insects, flesh dissociating into countless balls, twisting and wriggling, barely converging into a contour similar to facial features.

This is not the point, the point is the gaping mouth with a long tongue with numerous scales sticking out...... No, it's the long snake. The scales should be metallic, and there is a sharp grinding sound between the twitches.

If you look closely, there are devices similar to suckers at intervals, which is a long snake, it is clearly a tentacle!

The tentacle is like a power or network cable, connected to a connector on the wall of the desk that can be determined not to be natural, but to be manually installed.

Looking at this "insect face", Tina covered her mouth with her hand, whined and whispered, and the queen retreated.

The "insect face" scattered like a block of melted ice, turning into thin snakes that shot towards Tina, and at the same time the robe curled, and several tentacles thinner than the one in the mouth also clinged to the thin snake and meandered.

Tina's crystal light erupted, blasting a large cloud of smoke and dust in the passage, quickly distancing herself from the "worm-faced man".

At the moment when Tina crashed out of the tower, the thin snakes and tentacles in the smoke and dust intertwined into a new face, as if to say something.

Tina, of course, didn't bother to listen, she had to charge her mind well.

In the witch channel, Catherine hummed: "This, scumbag, scared, joke ......"

Aurora seemed to be gagging and "uh...... It's disgusting!"

The Banner Witch's tone was also implicitly joyful: "Oh, maybe it's not because of this, I have to go to the doctor." ”

Karin's trio didn't react much, but Fini, who was basking in the sun on the Heart of the Silvermoon, sighed.

"Richie, do you see that?"

She took a screenshot of the image of the moment Tina withdrew, and drew a red circle: "This face seems a little familiar?"

Li Qi tried to make out the face in the red circle, but he didn't get anything in his head: "I don't know ......"

He said firmly: "This must be an arcanist, I haven't been in contact with many arcanists, and they're all finished." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he gasped......

There was indeed an Arcanist whom he knew and even fought but ran away!

It's just that that guy has something to do with the strange things he once used to use the corrupt qi to stir up, so he still doesn't want to think about it.

Li Qi was silent for a while, and said leisurely on the channel: "It's really an old meeting." ”

Tina shouted, "It's me who bumped into you in person, it's not you, you have to pay me for the loss of the SAN value!"
