Lu Xiao thought about it for a while: "Don't use it for the time being, we will also hack into Aloy's Focus and see what the other party plans to do." ”

Without Aloy's knowledge, Lu Xiao completes a direct connection with her Focus.

A male voice with a strange accent appears on Aloy's Focus contact channel.

"Hello, Aloy, it's been a long time, but I've finally got in touch with you."

Aloy glanced at Lu Xiao, who was looking at her with meaningful eyes, motioning for her to continue communicating with the mysterious person.

Suppressing his doubts for a moment, Aloy asked in a deep voice across the contact channel, "Who are you?" Why can I be contacted for Focus? ”

"It doesn't matter."

The mysterious man diverted Aloy's question: "Importantly, I intend to work with you to help you defeat the Eclipse Cult of Siris and Shadow Calgar, and deal with the people behind the Eclipse Cult. ”

Aloy retorted disbelievingly, "Why should I believe you? ”

"I have the information you need about the true identity of the Shadow and how it intends to destroy the world."

Lu Xiao's expression moved, and Aloy's face also showed surprise.

"How do you know?"

The mysterious man sneered and replied, "Stupid question, of course, it was found out." ”

"Don't beat around the bush, listen to me first."

The mystery man introduced himself: "You can call me Cyrens, a scholar dedicated to solving the mysteries of history. ”

"I can help you, but I hope you can do me a favor too."

Cyrens said in a flat tone, "Send me the information you have gained from exploring the ruins in various places, and I will observe your exploration of the ruins of Gaia throughout the process." ”

Aloy didn't want to believe the other party's nonsense, but Lu Xiao nodded to Aloy at this time, signaling her to agree to Cyrens' request.

Aloy gritted his teeth: "Okay, I promise your conditions, but I want to see your sincerity first. ”

"You will."

Cyrens said in a relaxed tone: "When you arrive at the entrance of the Gaia Ruins, you will see my sincerity, so let's get in touch here first." ”

"Wait! I still have questions...... Damn it! ”

Aloy stomped her foot in exasperation, and before she could ask a question, the other side cut off the signal.

"Lu Xiao, what the hell are you doing?"

Aloy, who was in a rage, began to attack like a cannonball: "Why agree to his ridiculous proposal? ”

Lu Xiao smiled and pressed her hands down: "Don't get excited, you have to learn to control your temper." ”

Yong Zhenxing walked in from outside the cave at this time, and when she saw Aloy's angry eyes, she deliberately asked jokingly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Lu Xiao took advantage of your sleep to move her hands and feet? ”

Lu Xiao rolled her eyes angrily: "Do you think I look like this kind of person?" Besides, I'm not interested in this kind of yellow-haired girl at all. ”

Patting the snowflakes covering his body, Yongzhen chuckled and kissed Lu Xiao on the face: "Just kidding, what happened?" ”

After Aloy angrily told the truth of the matter, Yongzhen had a thoughtful expression on Lu Xiao's face.

"This Cyrens can't be the sage who helped Siris found the Eclipse Cult, right?"

When Aloy opened her mouth in surprise, Lu Xiao nodded approvingly, "That's what I guessed, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Cyrens knew the secret information of the Eclipse Sect's high-level and 'Shadow'. ”

After listening to Yongzhen's detailed explanation, Aloy barely managed to calm herself down, and her brain began to work at high speed.

"If that's true, why would Cyrens offer to help me?"

Also, why didn't he notice Lu Xiao's traces? He's sitting right in front of me. ”

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "The purpose of Cyrens is unknown for the time being, but I think there should be some thoughts of revenge." ”

"As for your second question......"

Lu Xiao asked Althea to block her and Yongzhen's electronic signals: "You try again, can you use Focus to capture us?" ”

This is a new feature that Alethea has only recently developed, and it allows the holder of Focus to dodge enemy Focus capture for a short period of time, with a duration of only a few minutes.

After some attempts, Aloy asked speechlessly, "What is the principle of this?" How do you come up with so many bells and whistles? ”

Lu Xiao changed the topic with a smile: "I would like to know more about how Cyrence hacked into Focus, this technology should not be in the hands of people in this era." ”

Standing up from the ground, Lu Xiao patted the weeds on his buttocks: "It's time for us to continue our journey, if Cyrens didn't deliberately play tricks on you, we can contact him again when we get to the Gaia Ruins." ”

Lu Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, "I want to see how well his hacking skills have been practiced." ”

……

The ruins of Gaia are the core of the entire Gaia system, and her computing core and terraforming system were originally locked underground.

The explosion more than a decade ago blew the top of the Gaia ruins open, leaving the entire ruins exposed.

The road to the ruins of Gaia is not smooth, and there are an extremely large number of automatons guarding the way.

Because the terrain did not allow it, Lu Xiao and the others had not encountered Thunder Tooth along the way, but it was difficult to avoid the corresponding air overlord Storm Bird.

"Boom!"

The thunder that fell from the sky blew a large crater in the ground, and the storm bird high above chased Yongzhen unrelentingly to attack.

Considering where Cyrence might be hiding and peeking, Lu Xiao did not intend to expose forces that did not belong to this world.

Aloy had hunted lightning hawks before, and while storm birds were several times larger than lightning hawks, both were essentially mechanical birds and responded in much the same way.

Taking advantage of Yongzhen's nimble maneuver to attract the Storm Bird's attack, Aloy aimed the rope gun in his hand into the air.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

With three muffled sounds, three ropes hit Lightning Hawk's body and wings, and Aloy quickly pinned the other end of the rope to the hook and inserted it into the ground.

This special hook will first maintain a cone state and rotate deep into the ground, and then expand the hook to grasp the ground after reaching a certain depth, which is a special tool used by hunters in this world to hunt lightning eagles.

The Storm Bird has at least five times as much force as the Lightning Eagle, and the rope that pulls the Lightning Eagle out of the air rattles with a rattle.

"Bang~Bang~"

Seeing that the three ropes could not trap the Stormbird, Aloy hurriedly made up two shots, finally limiting the Stormbird's struggle.

"Crunch!"

With the unpleasant sound of metal grinding, the storm bird fell crookedly from the sky and crashed into the snow.

Aloy shot the lightning generator from the Storm Bird first, raised her spear and shouted at the immobile Big Bird.

"Drink!"

"Boom!"

A spearhead made of the same material stabbed into the Stormbird's head, destroying its core, and the metal bird finally stopped.

"Well done."

Lu Xiao clapped his hands and encouraged Aloy: "Although Yongzhen helps attract firepower, I have to say that this rope gun is very useful against air units, and the timing of your weapon switching is also very good." ”

At this time, Alethea suddenly reminded Lu Xiao: "Cyrens hacked into Aloy's Focus again, I'm sure he was nearby, and he heard the movement of the battle before he started to act." ”
