Chapter 18 Since ancient times, the villain died of pretending
When the Xiao Tingcheng sisters stepped into the 'Supreme Heaven', the scene they saw was naturally empty, but the two of them did receive Lu Fan's summons, so they naturally didn't dare to turn around and leave, nor did they dare to say anything, so they could only stand quietly on the edge of the door.
Thankfully, the wait didn't last long.
"Your Excellency the Marquis is out and has something to do, just tell me if you have anything." With the sound of a neutral voice, a figure appeared in front of Xiao Tingguo's sisters - a neutral face that met all the aesthetic advantages of human men and women, with short neutral black hair and a slightly neutral white tuxedo.
This is the image that Tietou designed for himself with reference to the aesthetic views of humans in this world, this image has not been shown in front of Lu Fan, and only when Lu Fan is not present will Tietou be projected in front of other humans.
If you want to say the reason, it is because Tietou has not yet figured out Lu Fan's preferences, and has not yet decided what image to use to face Lu Fan.
Although the artificial intelligence of Tietou does not have the idea of sycophancy, it does not prevent it from wanting to improve its status in Lu Fan's heart.
For the Xiao family sisters who often report things to Tietou, this image is naturally extremely familiar, so the next second Tietou appeared, the Xiao family sisters half-knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Lord Tie." ”
In an instant, the iron-headed good-looking eyebrows frowned faintly, to be honest, it was very reluctant to hear this honorific title, but this honorific title was derived from the name Lu Fan gave it, so it couldn't refute it.
As an artificial intelligence, Tietou didn't dwell too much on honorific titles, but continued to ask, "What the hell is the matter with you?" ”
Although it knew that Lu Fan had sent a communication to the two of them, it didn't know what it was, and it didn't know what it was to spy on Lu Fan, not to say that it didn't dare, and its core rules didn't allow it to do so.
"Lord Huitie, the Lord asked us to come, and the two of us don't know what is going on." Xiao Qingcheng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, replied respectfully.
"Well, then you guys wait here." Tietou nodded, and prepared to leave, since Lu Fan called the two of them here, it didn't plan to ask again.
Just as the projection of the iron head was about to disappear, Xiao Qingcheng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly asked, "Lord Tie, I don't know what you considered about your subordinates' proposal last time?" ”
The figure of the iron head who was gradually fading paused for a moment, and then slowly became clearer, and after looking at the Xiao family sisters who were half-kneeling on the ground, he glanced around the entire huge but empty room.
Since the last time the two of them came here, they told it that this place was too monotonous, a little inconsistent with the title of 'Supreme Heaven' and Lu Fan's identity, hoping to decorate this place, and then the two of them also brainstormed a design drawing to show it, to be honest, if it really came out according to that design drawing, only from the visual effect, it thought it was still good, just because it didn't figure out Lu Fan's preferences before, it didn't take the liberty to agree.
But now, although Hao Tietou still hasn't figured out Lu Fan's preferences, it realizes that Lu Fan doesn't care much about these external things, and it is the type that can be had, and it doesn't matter if there is not.
So after the two of them mentioned it again, Tietou thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I agree, but I want to make some changes to the design." ”
The sisters of the Xiao family, who were half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly showed a little joy on their faces, for Lu Fan, who could be said to have given them everything, this matter was one of the few ways they could come up with to please them.
"Thank you, Lord Tetsu!"
"Hmm."
Hearing the two of them's thanks, the iron head nodded noncommittally, and then disappeared into the room, the City of Angels is still under construction at a high speed, and it has a lot of things to deal with.
……
"Xiaowen! Hold on! Rescue is coming soon! ”
"Team, captain, no, leave us alone, you, you go quickly......"
"Xiaowen! Xiaowen! Damn it! Why is there a high-level Aragami so close to the survival base?! ”
The small valley was mostly covered in snow, and a pile of steel wreckage still burning could vaguely discern the original aircraft, and a broken angel wings symbol on it indicated that the aircraft belonged to the City of Angels.
Not far from the wreckage of the flying machine, Mu Chengxue, who was dressed in a white combat uniform, was wielding a half-human-wide alloy sword in her hand to resist attacks from all directions, and it was a ...... who attacked her Uh, how do you say that? Dryad?
Well, it's a dryad, a blood-red dryad, or a dryad-type Aragami, one hundred or forty or fifty meters tall, and it looks very eye-catching in this deep white valley.
The ghost knows how this dryad who can't even disguise survived, probably thanks to its own strong strength - a vine as thick as an adult's thigh, this dryad has at least a thousand roots, and the end is a sharp cone, flashing with a metal-like luster, which makes people not doubt the horror of its attack power, as for the hardness, looking at the many gaps on the big sword in Mu Chengxue's hand and the vines around it that are not broken, it can be inferred that its hardness is also extremely amazing.
In addition to Muchengxue, there are five people in the valley.
One of them held a half-cut control stick in his hand, presumably the pilot of the aircraft, and the other held a weapon like a cannon and a sword, which was broken, and the most shocking thing was that both of them had more or less bowl-sized blood holes on their bodies, and the other was lying motionless on the snow, and his whole body was lying on his stomach as if he had been run over by a road roller.
The blood shed by the three of them stained their white combat uniforms and the snow around them, and if it weren't for the snorting and faint moisture appearing from time to time, they would have been sentenced to death directly.
In addition, there is a woman about twenty-five or six years old who is being swept by a vine of the dryad, and her life and death are unknown.
The last one is the youngest, and it is estimated that she can only be called a girl, who is lying in Mu Chengxue's arms dying at this time, and a huge wound on her waist and abdomen that almost breaks her waist seems to indicate that if she does not receive treatment again, even a girl with strong vitality who has used genetic optimization fluid will have to pass away.
"Xiaowen! Xiaowen! Don't die! Don't die! How can I explain to your brother when you die! The faint tears that were about to fall could not hold back the life that was about to pass, and feeling the girl's weaker and weaker breathing, Mu Chengxue's heart was full of sadness and despair.
It had only been ten minutes since the request for support was sent, but Mu Chengxue felt that it was as long as a century, and she could feel that her other four companions were not dead, but because of this, she was even more sad and desperate. According to the research of the Academy of Sciences in the City of Angels, the high-level Aragami already has a certain amount of wisdom, and the high-level Aragami in front of her seems to be the same, and does not directly kill her companions because this Aragami understands how to hold her back.
Mu Chengxue knew that as long as he gave up his companions, he would be able to escape with the strength of his own use of the intermediate genetic optimization liquid, and he had already seen from the previous battles that although this Aragami was powerful, it was not fast, as long as he broke out of the encirclement of the vines, he would soon be able to get rid of it.
But she couldn't, because it was her misjudgment that put her companion in danger, and as long as there was a little hope, she would not give up on her companion's life.
There are thousands of vines on the body of the dryad Aragami, but less than a hundred of them are involved in the siege, and it does not seem to be in a hurry to kill its prey, and its face hidden in the vines on the trunk even faintly shows a bit of banter.
Although the dryad Aragami did not do his best, nearly a hundred powerful and hard vines still formed an almost impermeable firepower network, constantly attacking Mu Chengxue, even if the gene was rated as excellent by the Angel City Biological Gene Research Institute, and used the intermediate gene optimization liquid, the physical fitness exceeded that of ordinary people by twenty times, Mu Chengxue was a little tired for a while, almost out of breath.
Time passed minute by minute, Mu Chengxue gradually despaired, the alloy sword in her hand had already heard an overwhelmed wail, the arms wielding the big sword also began to be heavy, breathing faster and shorter, she knew that she couldn't go now, the movement of the battle had attracted other Aragami, and the huge figure with a shadow had gradually surrounded the entire valley, but she didn't dare to approach for a while because of the might of the dryad Aragami.
Even if the support arrives now, Lin Chengxue feels that he can't go, this high-level Aragami is too strong, the attack distance of the vines is very far, and the flying machine can't get close at all, unless there are five characters at the level of squad leader or above coming or dispatching a large number of armed robots, this high-level Aragami can't be expelled at all.
And as time goes by, there will be more and more Aragami who have gathered, and in a few minutes, even if the two ministers Xiao come, it will be useless, unless Lu Fan comes in person.
In Mu Chengxue's heart, Lu Fan is an invincible representative, even if this terrifying strength of the tree demon Aragami, Mu Chengxue feels that he will not be an enemy in front of Lu Fan, she still remembers the sword that opened the sky when Lu Fan saved her.
"But Lord Lu Fan must have more important things to do, how can he ...... We, there is no help......" Despair welled up in her heart, Mu Chengxue buried her glimmer of hope deep in her heart, she didn't want to resist anymore, and she couldn't resist anymore.
The next second she gave up resistance, the big sword in her hand was instantly knocked away, and the overwhelming sharp vines shot towards Mu Chengxue, looking like she was about to crush her into minced meat, and all she could do was close her eyes and hug the petite body that was dying in her arms, waiting for death to come.
……
Since ancient times, the villain died of pretending, and this sentence seems to be very applicable in the Aragami world.
Thanks to today's inhuman eyesight, even in a blizzard, Lu Fan could clearly see the bright dryad in the distance and the figure that was struggling to support under the attack of the dryad.
Seeing that the figure was about to be submerged by hundreds of vines, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and raised his sword.
In an instant, a blood-colored sword like a substance shot out, rising in the wind, and in the middle of his breath, it turned into a hundred-zhang sword shadow that appeared above the head of the bewitching tree demon across the space, and slashed down in the air without pause!
Sensing that the crisis was coming, hundreds of vines that wanted to grind Mu Chengxue into minced meat were instantly withdrawn by the Dryad Asoteria, and the rest of the thousands of vines were combined to defend the lower layers on the top of the head, and at the same time, the ability that belonged to the Dryad Asoteria was also triggered to the extreme, and the original flickering metallic luster on the layers of thick vines was simply rich to the point of dazzling at this time.
Then, the two meet.
There was no earth-shattering symphony, no stalemate between you and me, and silently, the vines that were originally a hundred times harder than steel, glowing with a dazzling metallic luster, became as if they were more fragile than tofu, and instantly broke as the translucent illusory blood-colored sword shadow slashed down, and the part that came into contact with the sword shadow was even annihilated into nothingness.
The shadow of the sword swept across the country, and then vanished without causing the slightest impact on its surroundings.
The thousands of vines that the dryad Aragami had originally wielded suddenly froze, and his face, which had turned from banter to panic, instantly froze.
In the next second, the thick vines slowly slashed down from the connected parts, and a clear line of blood appeared on the trunk of the dryad Aragami that was nearly a hundred meters in diameter, splitting it in two.
Then the trunk of the dryad Aragami slowly cracked, and scarlet blood gushed out, and the blood rain poured down from the sky and stained the entire valley red.
After waiting for a while, but not waiting for the expected pain and death, Mu Chengxue opened his eyes in surprise at the same time, and what caught his eyes was a fairy-like figure, with a gentle smile engraved in the depths of his mind, and the blood rain in the sky diverted above his own head, and not a drop fell on his body.
The strange scene and the unfolding that seemed to exist only in fairy tales made Mu Chengxue stunned for a while, and was a little unable to react, until a gentle voice came from her ears.
"Hold on for a while, and I'll take you home."
In the next second, Mu Chengxue, who decided not to cry anymore after experiencing those dark years, burst into tears.
