Chapter 4: The Glass Mirror

The city of steam, the most technologically and industrially developed place in the Kingdom of Liuli. All the houses here are built impregnably, and almost all the high-tech equipment used in the army is built by the city. The most famous of the City of Steam is probably the technology that fuses and transforms metal and the human body, called biochemical technology. Not only has this technology allowed many people with disabilities to regain their full bodies, but it also provided a powerful army of cyborgs in the human army, and it is said that the lord of Steam City is also a half-cyborg.

Cyborgs are superior to humans in all aspects, with strength, defense, and agility, and they have extremely strong vitality, but their minds will slowly degrade after being transformed. They will become closer to machines and lose their humanity. Therefore, unless they are dying people or volunteers, ordinary people will not risk becoming cyborgs.

Krum is known as the "Heavy Tank" because of his ability to not only destroy but also to resist hits. I saw that after he tore off the two tentacles, he fused the light energy gun in his hand with his right hand, and because most of the skin and flesh were missing on his face, he smiled very hideously, "Now, it's time to see the true face of the protagonist." As he spoke, he raised his right hand, which had been transformed into a firearm, and fired a high-temperature bullet into the middle of the tentacle that was more powerful than the previous Light Gun.

With a shrill laugh, the octopus that had been struck by Krum finally peeked out of the sand with its ugly head, like a frog that had been flattened and then dried, with a large hole in the middle of its two button-sized white eyes, and tawny juice constantly flowing out, and its large mouth full of sharp teeth was half-open, and it screamed incessantly.

The cave was like a long and narrow silkworm chrysalis, and the airship crashed into it from the right side, and Krum and the others retreated all the way to the spacious left, who knew that they had just walked into the octopus's nest. The sound on the other end came, and Xia Yan and Qianlan looked at the people who were in a bitter battle.

Blackbeard took advantage of the octopus poking its head out, grabbed the dagger with his backhand, and jumped up from the side. A flash of white light flashed, and the rest of the octopus's head was sliced off. Blackbeard landed and severed its remaining two flapping tentacles, and the monster writhed a few times before sinking into the sand.

Before the crowd could rejoice, more octopuses came from the other side of the cave, and the cave resounded with strange laughter one after another. Zhuge Ming's face was pale and said: "There are so many, I'm afraid this time it's really going to be a small life!" ”

"Retreat to the hole." Blackbeard muttered, and the other two guards gathered around him, the one who had been thrown out of the cockpit at the beginning was still lying next to the airship, lifeless. Blackbeard commanded everyone to retreat to Xia Yan's side, and at this moment, everyone was united in hatred of the enemy, and they no longer cared about the identities of the remnants and guards.

They retreated as fast as they could, those octopuses came even faster, and countless circles spread like ghosts underground. Krum and Zhuge Ming kept shooting at the front few circles, and the group stumbled back into the crack.

The crack mouth was scorching, and the huge roar shook people's scalps. Everyone didn't dare to stay longer, and they retreated all the way, and those octopuses seemed to have some scruples, and stopped at the other end of the crack and did not chase after them. Xia Yan and Qianlan stood next to the crowd, Xia Yan looked at the circles that were rising and falling not far away, and suddenly heard Qianlan on the side say softly: "It's coming." ”

I saw that the light from the crack suddenly became more and more intense, and after the strong light, the roar of the foehn outside the cave slowly weakened, and the heat at the entrance of the cave dissipated like a deflated ball.

"It's bad, it's really a disaster," Krum suddenly shouted when he heard that the foehn outside the cave had stopped, "As soon as this foehn stops, I'm afraid the incinerator will be coming." ”

"They've arrived." Blackbeard, who was a little closer to the crack, glanced out of the cave and said, some tall black shadows slowly emerging from behind Sensen's white bones.

"How's that okay?" Zhuge Ming swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "It's better for us to rush out and scatter and escape, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" ”

"Scattered is a dead end." Holding his right hand, Krum transformed the single-barreled weapon into a double-barrel, pointed to the dark shadows outside and said, "And without an airship, do you want to walk out of this desert?" ”

Before Zhuge Ming could answer, the entire cave suddenly trembled and made a buzzing sound. It was as if a huge hammer was pounding on the walls of the cave.

"Oh no, this cave is going to collapse!" I don't know who shouted, Zhuge Ming was about to run out of the crack, Krum's eyes were quick, and he quickly pulled him back. At the same time, a black whip flung in, tearing the crack even wider. There was a scorching smell in the air.

"This thing captures the breath of a human, and we have nowhere to hide outside." Krum stepped aside as he spoke. A huge head with a raging flame poked into the crack, like a lizard with sharp horns, the place where it should have eyes and nose was hollow, only a few rows of black holes the size of fists, revealing a flash of fire, the black holes whined in the air, and those octopuses seemed to sense the danger, and retreated in panic.

The Burners heard their thuds, and their tails swung out like whips again, smashing into the circles, and an octopus was pierced on the spot, its huge tentacles twisting and wrapping around the ghost's tail, emitting puffs of green smoke and a scorching smell. Another hole was knocked open at the other end of the cavern, and another burner appeared in front of everyone.

A few remnants had never seen such a battle, and they were so frightened by the many monsters in front of them that they fell to their knees. Blackbeard and two of his guards pulled them up and hurried back to the other side. He said to Krum: "Let them fight for a while, and we will reap the fisherman's advantage." ”

Krum also had this intention, pushed Zhuge Ming, and followed behind them.

"Within a kilometer, I sensed 23 junior Burners, 5 E-class, the rest were all G-class, and there was one E-level elite Burner. As soon as the foehn stopped, it appeared," Asa-lan said to Xia Yan, and they did not retreat with the crowd, but stood in the shadows. Asaarashi's tone was rather calm, as if she was reporting the weather to him, "I still can't detect how they appeared." ”

"Isn't there a commander?" Xia Yan asked, looking at the entangled Burners and Octopuses.

"No, it's just a small fraction of the burners who have been scattered from the front line." Asashi shook her head and said.

"The battlefield is not here, it seems that we have to go further away." Xia Yan looked at the Burning Clan that appeared at the beginning and turned his head to them, and said to Qianlan. "Let's go outside and have a look."

"Ignore them?" Qianlan asked, looking at the remnants who had retreated into the distance.

"Don't worry, the two people in the lead are both above the strength of the captain of the guard, and they can handle these octopuses." Xia Yan told her, "We just need to keep that elite Burner out of the way." ”

Krum looked back and was shocked to see that the boy and girl had not followed, but had stood by and watched the monsters fight, as if he were betting on who would win or lose. He always thought that the young man was a hidden person, but he didn't expect that he was a stupid boy who didn't know whether to live or die, and taught him to cry and laugh.

"Little brother, come here. If you're targeted by the Burners, you'll die! He shouted at Xia Yan.

Hearing this, Xia Yan turned his head to look at him, and at the moment when he turned his head, a sharp giant claw suddenly pierced through the cave wall on the side, attacking him and Qianlan. Krum was shocked, and raised his hand to shoot a shot, but unfortunately he still did not stop the attack of the giant claw, only to hear a loud "boom", and the young man's figure and giant claw were wrapped in a cloud of dust.

The dust slowly fell, and the shadow of the young man slowly appeared in everyone's eyes. I saw that the giant claw did not hurt him, but was blocked by a transparent golden hexagonal mirror that was more than a meter long. There is more than one side of this hexagonal mirror, in addition to the side behind the boy's head, there is also a floating side around the girl.

Xia Yan smiled at Krum and said, "Thanks for reminding me, but I'm used to being targeted by the Burning Clan." ”

The gray robe he wore on the outside had been burned beyond recognition by the flames, but the black suit he wore was intact. Xia Yan had a pitch-black hilt in his hand, and a long knife as thin as a cicada's wings and glowing with a pale cyan cold light grew rapidly from the hilt. Xia Yan didn't hesitate, turned around and raised his knife and cut off the giant claws of the Burning Clan that had attacked him. Then he flew into the air, dodging the attack of another giant claw of the Burning Clan, the long knife in his hand waved, cutting off the bloody mouth of the Burning Clan and its lizard-like head laterally, the corpse of the Burning Clan had not yet fallen, Xia Yan had already stepped on its torso and flew to the outside of the cave, and Qianlan also followed closely behind him, and a blue point of light the size of an eyeball flew out of the corpse of the Burning Clan, floating in the cave for a while, and disappeared.

From Xia Yan wielding the knife to him and Qianlan flying out of the cave, it was just a matter of an instant, but it made Krum and the others stunned. Unexpectedly, the daunting Burning Clan was as vulnerable as paper paste in the hands of this teenage boy. This is really incredible, and after a while, Zhuge Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Who are they?" ”

Blackbeard on the side looked at the golden mirror flying beside the young man, and said to himself: "That's one of the stunts of the glass hero: the glass mirror." Could it be that he has something to do with Xia Weiyang? ”
