Chapter 12 Remuneration Below

Oberen smiled indifferently, and didn't see any movement, and three transparent ice shields had condensed in front of him. The fifth-order ice shield naturally couldn't be compared to the eighth-order ability, the ice shield was easily pierced by the ray, and in an instant, the ray had extended in front of Oberen's body. But these three ice shields were not activated by Oberen, but by Aaron!

The most important reason why Frost Ray can become an eighth-order ability is that it has a strong attribute that penetrates defense fields, and almost all defense fields below the seventh order have no effect on it. All Oberen watched as Aaron used three fifth-order ice shields to weaken the power of the ray, but he didn't activate the various defensive force fields of the higher ranks.

The massive alloy tower shield suddenly appeared in front of the frost ray, protecting Oberen's entirety. With a soft sound, the frost ray had already shot into the alloy tower shield, instantly covering it with a layer of dark blue eerie ice! At extreme temperatures close to minus 200 degrees, most alloys become brittle. However, a layer of earthy yellow light suddenly surged on the alloy heavy shield, and with a loud roar from behind the shield, the extremely warm ice layer on the heavy shield suddenly exploded, and the dark blue ice chips splashed in all directions, and every piece of debris landed on the ground, which would immediately freeze the ground in a radius of several meters around it!

Aaron poked his head out from behind the heavy shield, shook off the ice and frost chips on his head, and sneered at One.

No. 1's pupils narrowed instantly, and although they were weakened three times, the frost rays were lightly blocked?

Through the mental fluctuations of the guΓ² link, the images seen by Number 4 continue to enter the field of vision of Number One. This is not only a three-dimensional figure composed of two perspectives, but also the tactics of Oberion and Arun can be distinguished through images that belong to the past. One suddenly noticed that a bluish flame had ignited in the palm of Oberen's left hand.

He immediately shouted without thinking: "Four! Move! ”

Four, who possessed a seventh-order speed, moved lightly to the side, and as soon as he flashed a few meters, a pillar of blue fire suddenly erupted from the place where he was standing! Number Four is well aware of the power of the pillar of fire generated by this seventh-order ability leyline fire rush. If you are hit head-on by this flame of more than 1,500 degrees, I am afraid that most of your body will be turned into charcoal immediately!

If it weren't for the reminder One, Number Four would have now turned into a corpse.

Under the fright, Four's mental fluctuations became unstable, not to mention the auxiliary attacks, and even the images seen by Number One became intermittent.

Instead of reprimanding Four, One first unleashed an Eighth-Order Ice Hell Storm around Oberion and Aaron, locking them in a small area. Then he moved quickly, and one ray after another of frost blasted into the storm. As soon as a ray hits the body, both Oberen and Arun will be turned into ice sculptures and cut off from life.

In the midst of One's stormy attack, the Four-Spirited Link, which had escaped the catastrophe, finally stabilized, and the vision she provided could penetrate deep into the interior of the Ice Storm. One could see Aaron moving quickly, wielding an alloy shield to block one frost ray after another, and his body continued to emit a strong yellow light, forming a solid and condensed defensive force field, blocking all the Ice Prism Wind Blades that kept stabbing in the Ice Storm. And no matter how Oberen moved, he always stood in Aaron's defensive field, constantly attacking One.

His spell-like attacks are much more than No. 1 in terms of types alone, ranging from the Ice Chain Spear, the Earth Leyline Fire Rush, the Magnetic Cutting to the Flame Stream, all of which are seventh-order attack abilities. It seems that Oberen has at least four seventh-order spell-like attack abilities, which is enough to generate an eighth-order spell.

Although Oberen's spell-like ability is one order lower than that of the first order, and the power gap between the seventh and eighth orders is not as small as it seems on the number jΓΉ, the first number definitely does not dare to block Oberen's attack, not once. His manipulation ability was not as precise as Oberen's, to the point where he could directly counter the quasi-spells, and for the fragile flesh of humans, there was no difference between the lethality of seventh-order and eighth-order spells. Therefore, under the overwhelming spell bombardment of Oberen, the number one also fought very wolfly. There wasn't a pervert like Aaron by his side who could defend against the bombardment of eighth-order spells. And after the number four provided a spiritual link, she couldn't count on both offensive and defensive ends, and she could only rely on her speed to dodge.

Under the bombardment of frost rays, Aaron had already leaked blood from his lips, and it seemed that he would fall down at any time, but he always insisted, and the defensive force field was still so stable that there was not even a gap.

Just as Number One was in a hurry, he suddenly remembered that he had just seen Oberion make an inconspicuous little gesture. This should actually be the image that Number 4 saw two seconds ago!

"Four!!" One roared and rushed towards Four.

But it's too late!

Out of the ice storm burst out two dark purple plasma balls, flying around each other, and the two plasma balls were connected by several arcs of electricity. The speed of the plasma ball was actually extremely fast, and as soon as it burst out of the storm, it appeared in front of Number Four in an instant, and then passed through her unsuspecting neck.

Four's body shook, and his stunned head fell off his body. No blood was coming out, and the wound had been completely charred by the hot arc.

Suddenly losing the spiritual connection, No. One's eyes suddenly went black, and his head seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and he almost groaned in pain. However, his rich combat experience made him instinctively roll sideways and flash several meters away. A wisp of cold wind passed by him, and from the cold he could sense that it was an ice chain spear that had just passed by. If the reaction is any slower, the One will be nailed to the ground by the spear.

No. 1 put his hand on the ground, and the whole person rose into the air. He stopped fighting, but immediately turned and fled!

Without the vision support of Number Four, he did not have the confidence to defeat these two perverts. Being able to resist the bombardment of eighth-order spells head-on, that tall man had developed at least three or four seventh-order defensive abilities, which was actually equivalent to completely giving up his offensive ability! And Oberen's spell-like attacks are as violent, swift, and weird as they are no less than No. 1, and even more powerful than No. 1 if you don't take into account the difference in rank. With such two people who attack and defend, but cooperate with each other, even if they have a ninth-order ability, No. 1 is not sure of victory. So he wants to escape, anyway, he is still young, and there is room for improvement in the future, if he dies here, then there will be nothing.

Hearing the violent explosion of the ice storm behind him, Number One knew that the spell had been broken. Oberen and Aaron should be chasing after them soon, but Number One is confident in his fifth-order speed. Except for those who are capable in the fighting domain, very few people will develop to the fifth order speed.

However, Oberyen and Alun are quickly closing the distance between him!

Sixth-order speed! The horror in No. 1's heart was indescribable, how could Oberen have a sixth-order speed?

Three minutes later, Aaron kicked No. 1's corpse and said with a lazy smile, "It seems that this sissy won't believe we're going to be faster than him." ”

"It's normal. On both offensive and defensive ends, speed is important, but by no means essential. In most battles, fifth-order speed is enough. Oberen half-crouched, examining One's body.

"What do we do now?"

Oberyen stood up, looked at Aaron's scarred body, and said, "Rest for a week, and when your injuries heal, we'll head north." Elena, that woman isn't as easy to deal with as these two guys. ”

Aaron didn't care about the injuries on his body, he possessed a very rare seventh-order ability, which could recover quickly, and the speed of wound recovery was ten times faster than that of ordinary people. He fiddled with the medical kit and asked, "What are we going to do when we're done with this?" What if your sister refuses to go back to the family with you? ”

Oberen looked around at the vast uninhabited mountainous area, smiled and said, "Then fight guerrillas in the wilderness." Don't you think this vast area is a good place for us to be our home turf? Oh, thousands of square kilometers of home field, extraordinary magnificence. However, such a life will be difficult. ”

"Hard?" Aaron also laughed: "There is no place to be harder than in that hellish world!" ”

"I don't know how the new Neptune Trident team is training. At this time, the smarter of them should have found the secret of the center of the world, right? Hopefully that won't go too far for the last Hobiru. ”

Arun sneered and said, "If our casualty rate is too high, then warn once." The second time he committed it, he dug up the bodies of the Hobiru people from the heart of the tree and burned them. Let their souls be trapped in that spiritual world forever, and be their own gods. ”

Oberen smiled, this was probably the cruelest punishment ever. Immortal, but lonely all the time.

After Oberyen and Aaron left, Helen managed to restrain her thoughts and resist the urge to go north as well. She knew that going north at this time would probably not help, and besides, Oberen could use a 30 defeat rate as a reason, but Helen couldn't, she had to use a 70 win rate as a basis. If she is like Oberen, it will probably mean that Persephone, Sue, and others have lost their last retreat and opportunity. So, being calm and rational sometimes means more courage.

She picked up a large glass of water and drank it as she walked to the room. A healthy body requires adequate nutrition, adequate rest, and adequate hydration and trace elements, and Helen has never denied that she is a genius, and even embarrassed Dr. Connor, the chief biochemist of the council, as a teenager. But she knows that on the road to success, it depends on persistence, and persistence is the spelling, and no genius will be an exception. So she pays attention to her body.

Helen passed through the central area and then through two extremely tightly sealed security gates before entering the top-secret biochemical zone. When she walked into the biochemical area, the mechanical coldness on her face was instantly replaced by surprise, and with a bang, the water glass in her hand fell to the ground.

Rows of transparent Petri dishes, each about one cubic meter in size, are placed in the biochemical area, filled with a light green nutrient solution. Nearly 100 petri dishes are placed in the vast biochemical culture area, which cultivate samples of different growth periods. Several light screens hanging in the entrance area reflect the immediate status of each petri dish. At this moment, there are at least a dozen Petri dishes on the light screen, and the status is showing a blinding red.

The lid on the top of the petri dish integrates the input, monitoring, and integration of various instruments, and is the most vulnerable part of the whole. The top lids of those petri dishes in an abnormal state have holes of greater or less, the small ones are like fists, and the large ones are the size of the mouth of a bowl. Although the top cover is not as strong as the composite material that makes up the box, it is also made of lightweight alloy and is not so light that it can be broken, let alone unfinished product in culture.

Helen's gaze had just skimmed over the broken holes, when suddenly, at the sound of water, a strange creature emerged from the hole in the top of the petri dish and crouched on the top cover. It has a sleek body, slightly black skin stained with culture fluid, and four arthropods protruding from each side of its body, with the ends as sharp as knives and shining with a metallic sheen. A long tail protrudes from the end of the body, and seven or eight sharp metal thorns stick out of it. Although its body is not large, the trunk part is only about 20 centimeters, but its strength is obviously not proportional to its size, and with a slight poke of eight sharp claws, it pierces the light alloy of the top cover, and sits there steadily, while the end of the long tail is still submerged in the nutrient solution.

It had no eyes, but it had a large, chilling mouth that mumbled about a piece of flesh that it couldn't tell it was. This is supposed to be the sample that was originally grown in a petri dish, but now it is apparently only a small half of the body remains.

The alien creature's mouth suddenly became unusually large, and it swallowed the remaining pieces of meat directly in one bite, and then let out a short, sharp howl, and its body curled up in a ball, and then suddenly bounced away, shooting at Helen like lightning!

Helen didn't have time to react at all, it had already crossed a few meters of space, and the horn bounced to her abdomen, and then her body stretched, and eight sharp claws waved, like a black lightning climbing, instantly rising to Helen's throat, and then her mouth suddenly opened to an incredible extent, and bit down her throat!

It was moving so fast that Helen couldn't have reacted at all, and her gaze even stayed on the petri dish where it was lying down!

The alien creature's mouth was covered with sharp teeth that shone with a metallic sheen, and the power of those teeth could be imagined just by the sharpness of its eight claws. Just as the mouth was about to close, its mouth suddenly cracked a few slits at the end, sniffed like a nose a few times, and then suddenly lifted its mouth away from Helen's neck and closed it. However, the sharp edges of its teeth had punctured Helen's delicate skin slightly, leaving a trail of blood on it.

Then, a long, forked tongue protruded from its mouth and licked at the wound on Helen's neck. When its long tongue touched Helen's blood, it seemed to sense something, and let out a slight whine, and climbed up a few more steps, curled up on Helen's shoulder, and pressed its body against Helen's wound. In the process of climbing up to the shoulder, its claws are also very light, barely supporting the body to rise. However, the ends of the eight claws were so sharp that they still pierced Helen's clothes, leaving several blood spots on her body.

Helen only reacted at this time, but she was not afraid of this little thing that almost killed herself, and reached out to gently stroke it. And it whimpered, gladly accepting Helen's touch.

Just a few seconds later, the little thing suddenly let out a short scream, and its body spasmed, and it actually fell off Helen's shoulder, and fell to the ground with a bang!

It screamed and rolled, its eight claws slashing, its tail flailing wildly, and the metal cutting deep marks on the ground.

Helen crouched on her knees, a little at a loss at what was happening. She didn't dare approach this strange creature in pain, the claws and tail blades that were swinging wildly were untouchable, and the slightest close approach could be cut into flesh and blood.

Its life force was rapidly draining, and after a minute it was lying on the ground, gasping weakly. With a low whin, the muscles on its back cracked, and a dozen bladed spikes of length and length popped out. It seems that this is another important weapon that is evolving, but its body can no longer support the evolutionary process.

It raised its head, let out one last wail at Helen, and then fell silent.

Helen was silent for a long time before she took it in her hand. Traces from the scene indicate that it is the most evolutionarily successful individual in the culture area, and after breaking through the blockade of the top cover with its extremely sharp teeth and claws, it has successively broken open multiple petri dishes, turning the developing incomplete body inside into its own nutrients.

If you look at it from the evolutionary process, its degree of evolution is actually hundreds of times that of those companions in the petri dish, with a complete biological system, super locomotor ability, powerful attack organs, terrifying evolutionary growth ability, and even basic discernment and intelligence. This is a gap that can only be created by mutations.

It is only missing the most important point, that is, the balance between the various subsystems of the body is not enough, if it is proved that it can reproduce and inherit, it can become a real living form, a living form that can continue.

This is a life form cultivated from the invaders in Su's blood as the paternal parent, and it is a completely new life form, at least in human cognition so far, there is no record of this life form.

The intruder's monolith has shown certain intelligence traits and extremely aggressive behavior. Helen had a hypothesis in mind, that is, when many intelligent individuals are united and thus have a unified will as a whole, it is likely to become a new model of intelligent life. This would have been a hypothesis that could not be proved at all, but now Helen was presented with a half-completed path.

A moment later, the little lifeform, which had exhausted its vitality, was placed on the real platform, and Helen silently placed the whole set of knives beside her. Now, she also needs to have a deep understanding of its body structure. However, the hand holding the scalpel was trembling slightly.

This is an old problem, every time she needs to dissect an individual who has made a breakthrough in evolutionary growth, Helen's hands will tremble, and she can't control it at all.

After all, the fleshy creatures, whether ugly or treacherous, were all connected to her flesh and blood.
