Smooth and flawless luster flows, and the surface of the body is reflected.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was only a vague glimpse of a shadow, and a cold wind quickly rushed towards him, and Xijie almost reflexively bent his right leg and leaned his body to the right side, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack.

The enemy pounced, crossed the parabola and fell back to the ground, before disappearing from the Knot's sight again.

"What was that?" Xijie, who was a little frightened, quickly turned around and glanced vigilantly at the white salt field in front of him, "Sister, it's ...... It's gone? ”

"No, it's still there, it's just that most of this guy's body is buried in salt crystals, and the camouflage on the surface of his body is really good......" Xinglan's tone seemed to have a hint of surprise, and the signal accurately tracked the location of the unknown creature, "It's actually this kind of thing...... Tidal knot, its current position is thirty degrees behind you, half a meter away! ”

Without even having the time to answer Xinglan, Xiyu quickly began to act, jumping up on all fours, and quickly did a backflip in the air, and his little claws fell from the sky and slapped the sand made of white salt grains!

However, the opponent's dodging action was obviously very fast, and the accurately positioned blow of the tide junction did not hit the opponent's body, but only grazed, but even so, the scattered salt chips still completely exposed the opponent's position.

"Hiss ......"

The shrill hiss conveyed the intention of warning, as if it understood that its disguise could not fool the other party, and after being blasted out of the salt by the aftermath, this creature that was good at sneak attacks also completely gave up hiding its body, and instead stood upright on the salt ground, and let out a terrifying cry at the tide knot.

It is a completely elongated body, with no limbs, only a pointed head and a tail covered with strange folds...... A snake?

Xijie frowned and looked at this strange creature, she didn't have the concept of snakes, so this strange animal in front of her made her feel very novel, and at the same time, she was even more vigilant.

In fact, compared to Xijie, Xinglan's surprise was not weaker than her at all.

This kind of long body with no extra limbs and completely muscular body should be a snake, but the appearance of the snake in front of me is very unusual...... Well, it's very unusual.

There is no colourful outer skin, no uneven scales, and only when the snake stands upright and hisses and screams, you can distinguish it from its surroundings with a noticeable twist, but you still can't describe its color...... Because it has no color at all.

The smooth and flawless skin is so light that it shines like mercury all over its body, as if it flows from the head to the whole body, and this strange snake is like a metamorphosis of the liquid robot in Terminator, taking on a perfectly streamlined silver body.

Yes, the absence of color does not mean that it can be invisible, but that the snake's appearance is like a mirror of mercury reflecting the outside world, and its color can change anytime and anywhere according to the changes in the outside world. When it is hidden in the salt field, its body is reflected in pure white salt crystals, which makes it difficult to distinguish it from its surroundings...... Not to mention, most of its body is hidden beneath the salt fields.

"It looks like a mercury-like color, but it's not actually a metallic texture at all, but a biological component? If you want to choose a name...... Mirror Snake. Xinglan excitedly looked at the strange snake standing upright on the salt floor, and at the same time did not forget to remind the tide knot, "Keep an eye on the target, if it hides underground and launches a surprise attack, you may not be able to react every time, besides...... This guy might be poisonous. ”

Sou!

As soon as Xing Lan's words fell, the mirror snake quickly twisted its muscles, and quickly retreated a distance of about half a meter at a speed that was equivalent to teleportation in terms of human reaction speed...... This movement speed is almost like floating past!

"If the body surface is so smooth, although theoretically it is true that you can move quickly regardless of most of the friction, but it is not easy to be affected by such a smooth body, and it is easy to slip, right?" Xijie still keenly captured the scene of the mirror snake moving rapidly on the sand, and continued to confront it with some puzzlement, "How can its movements still be so flexible......"

Indeed, when the mirror snake moved, it seemed to float directly over the salt-covered ground with its smooth appearance, completely ignoring most of the resistance, but its acceleration was so agile that it seemed that there would be no trouble slipping at all.

"Pay attention to its back, that tail ......" Xinglan, who has been observing the entire battle situation from all angles with the signal, can see it very clearly, and keeps providing tactical information for Xijie, "That slender tail has been inserted in the sand, like an anchor as a stable fulcrum, and can quickly contract muscles and pull out the sand after the force is completed, this guy's power is not small......"

"Tail?" After Xinglan's reminder, Xiyu found that on the mirror snake's body swaying in the wind, only the tail had been firmly inserted into the sand, fixed in place without moving, "Could this be a weakness?" ”

As he spoke, Xiyu carefully opened his paw and took a step forward, which seemed to stimulate the tense mirror snake again, and the other party made an amazing move in an instant......

From the slow-motion perspective of the signal, Xinglan clearly saw all the movements of the mirror snake, it first slammed its originally upright body to the height close to the ground, and the tail was really firmly fixed to the ground like an anchor...... After that, the strong muscles on the mirror snake's body quickly stretched and contracted, and it quickly began to rotate its entire body with its tail as the center of a circle like throwing a rope!

The entire acceleration process only lasted about a second, and the mechanism that seemed to hold the tail was unlocked instantly, and the high-speed rotating body of the mirror snake suddenly lost its centripetal force, and it was thrown out as accurately as an arrow from the string, and it shot quickly towards the tide knot that was a little stunned......

Big things are not good!

Even Mystery Xin's reaction speed is indeed very fast, but as Xing Lan said, even Xi Jie cannot perfectly react to every attack of this same speed type enemy, at the critical moment, Xing Lan directly controlled the muscle movement of Xi Jie's left front paw through the signal sub, and then grabbed a large salt crystal on the ground super fast...... Smashed head-on!

Yes, after all, the Mirror Snake is not a dead thing like an arrow from the string, even if it can't make much changes when it is in the air and has nowhere to be forced, but it is still possible to slightly twist the muscles of the body to expand the attack range and ensure accurate hits. At this moment, the time urgency was no longer enough to ensure that the tide junction could completely escape the attack range of the mirror snake, so Xinglan also quickly made the best solution in the current situation: picked up a large salt crystal from the salt floor and smashed it at the mirror snake......

Bang!

Speaking from the heart, this is definitely painful.

When Xijie came back to her senses, she watched in a daze as the mirror snake, which was attacked by anti-aircraft fire in the air, was hit by the oncoming kinetic weapon, and then quickly flew back at a faster speed, directly crashing into the salt field, forming a long pit.

Once the position of the other party can be clearly locked, the camouflage color of the reflected scene will not play much role, for the simple reason that if it is difficult to see from the side from a distance, then after determining the position of the other party at close range, it is obvious that there is a small reflection of the blue sky and white clouds on the white salt floor from the top down...... Well, that's why the Mirror Serpent still habitually hides most of its body under the salt crystals.

The mirror snake was obviously a little dizzy from the collision, probably in its life has never met an opponent who can throw debris so quickly and so sharply, so that it will not be able to come back to its senses for a while, this is a very dangerous situation, it is fortunate that Xijie is even more dizzy than it at the moment, and it doesn't care about taking the opportunity to sneak attack it.

"Sister-sama...... Was that you? Xijie is actually not unfamiliar with the feeling of being temporarily taken over by Xinglan, after all, she was often completely controlled by Xinglan when she was a child, but she hadn't encountered this situation for a long time, so she didn't react for the time being, "It seems that this guy is really dangerous......"

"Well, it was an emergency just now, so are you okay?" Xing Lan was more worried than Xi Jie, the series of actions just now could be said to be slightly beyond the limit of Mi Xin's activities, a bit of an explosive action, so this kind of unconventional action also caused a slight strain to Xi Jie's muscles, "Aren't the muscles very sore?" Do you feel a lot of pain? ”

"It's okay...... The problem is not very serious. Xijie shook his head, shook his left front paw, and continued to look at the screaming mirror snake, "This guy seems to have been hit hard, and he is still dizzy." ”

However, the mirror snake seems to recover quickly and rises upright on the ground again, but it seems that due to a lack of self-confidence, its posture is no longer so aggressive. It's in slow motion...... That's right, it's no longer the kind of lightning action like teleportation, but slowly moving his body backwards, showing obvious timidity.

"Seriously, I don't think this guy seems to see you as a target anymore." Xinglan's voice teased with a smile, "Maybe it's already thinking about how to escape." ”

"Fight if you want, run away if you want, how can it be so simple......" Xiyu bared his sharp little fangs, stared at the smooth mirror snake, and took a few steps forward, "It can't hide itself so perfectly now." ”

"Hiss ......"

The mirror snake's perfectly streamlined head in the shape of a teardrop spat out its forked tongue and slowly twisted its body backwards, and suddenly, its muscles contracted rapidly, and its wrinkled tail was withdrawn from the fixed salt ground, and its entire body was catapulted above the ground......

Xijie understood the other party's intention in an instant: this guy is really ready to escape!

"Don't want to go!" Xijie kicked the ground hard with his hind legs, and quickly rushed forward with the terrifying explosive power of Mi Xin, and at the same time waved his claws, "Leave it for me!" ”

All of this happened in a brief moment, when the folds on the mirror snake's tail suddenly unfolded in mid-air, and the mirror-like mirror, like the body, formed a smooth concave mirror, accurately focusing the dazzling reflection of the sun in the sky above and shooting in the direction of the tide knot...... Of course, this level of aggregation could not have caused a laser-like burning effect, but it was enough to make Shioyu close his eyes like a flashbang, and the pace of rushing forward involuntarily paused.

Such a moment of hesitation was enough, and the mirror snake fell back into the salt field in a headfirst position, quickly dived into the bottom area of the salt crystal layer, and swam away into the distance, refusing to show its head.

Half an hour later, the voice of Xijie came from the white salt ground: "Damn! You coward dare to run away, and if you have the ability, you will come back and fight! ”

"Forget it, so be it." Xinglan looked at the tangled tide knot with amusement, "This is just a small episode on the road, aren't you going to leave this white salt land quickly?" ”

"Well, I'm dying of thirst and I'm dying of thirst......"
