Chapter 243: Time Scale (1)
"Eh, explain it clearly, don't have any accidents in a while......"
Zhang Heng-173 was about to ask something, but suddenly felt that his body seemed to be entangled by something, and when he looked down, he found that the python-like tail of the human-faced lizard Xiaocai had been wrapped around his waist at some point.
With his body as the center, it was wound round and round.
"Wow, what's this for......"
The tail of the human-faced lizard wound around quickly, and it didn't take long for 173's body to wrap tightly around it.
Since the arms were too late to be withdrawn, the overall posture of 173 can be seen as being tied into a large zongzi by a python-like tail.
"Relax your body, don't resist, Xiaocai won't hurt you."
After saying this, Xiao Gu ignored 173 and 659 and focused his attention on the insect tide in front of him.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm out of breath......"
173 Seeing that Xiao Gu no longer paid attention to him, he hurriedly turned the object of his speech to the human-faced lizard beside him-Xiaocai.
Although Xiaocai has a human face with full facial features, she doesn't know whether she doesn't want to pay attention to 173 or can't speak herself, and after hearing 173's cry, she just glanced at the other party simply, and continued to wrap her tail around her own way.
The python-thick tail quickly wrapped around 173's neck, and after plugging its chattering mouth, the bowl-shaped mouth at the end of the tail suddenly opened wide, taking 173's exposed head in one gulp.
"Hmm...... Not? Oh!!! ”
Like a pig lamb to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, 173's body writhed desperately, but within a few seconds, a sound of surprise came from the large mouth at the end of the tail.
"Is this what a human-faced lizard is capable of......"
After saying this, Zhang Heng-173's body did not move at all, and no matter how Xiaocai swayed, he was very cooperative.
Looking at the 173,659's face that had changed dramatically, a look of curiosity appeared on his face, and before Dacai could come over, he took the first step to the side of the human-faced lizard.
Seeing that 659 did not resist in the slightest, Hu Teng, who had been observing the two Elders, also said with a smile.
"Why are you so calm and trust us so much, aren't you afraid that we will have ill intentions towards you?"
Hearing Hu Teng suddenly ask, 659 didn't have any extra expression on his face, but just reached out and took off the monocle on his right eye and placed it in the storage space of his left arm.
"There's no need, 173 and I are dying because of the shadow insect swarm, if you don't show up, our end will be nothing more than being killed in the belly of the worm."
"If you really have malicious intentions, you don't have to risk your life to come to the rescue, you are equipped with high-hidden technology that can't even be detected by my detection equipment, if you really want to take our lives, you don't have to be so twisting and turning, just do it."
"So I judge that you are really fighting for the free will of humanity, and you are not having ill intentions towards me and 173."
After saying this, Dacai's tail has been wrapped around 659's lower body, compared to 173's uneasiness, 659 seems much calmer.
"Well said, well said...... If it were in another timeline, you and I would definitely become friends who talked about everything, but it's a pity ......"
Hu Teng also said this, his thick beard shook violently, stopped talking, turned to face all the soldiers on his side, stared at the gunfire beating in the night, and was silent for a long time.
When the tail of the human-faced lizard was wrapped around 659's neck, the master chief standing in front of all the soldiers made further movements.
I saw him put the firearm in his hand back on his back, and pulled out a dog-legged broadsword that was slung cross-legged on his waist.
This broadsword is all over the body
It is jet black, only the edge of the blade is faintly visible snowy metallic luster, not dazzling, but with killing intent.
"The 22nd Corps of the Avenger Army has all of them! Put away the guns! Get on the sword! ”
"Brush Brush ......"
The neat and uniform action of retracting the gun and drawing the knife was displayed in front of 659's eyes, which was perfectly like a mirror image of a person's reproduction.
"For the free will of mankind! Charge! ”
"What?!"
After hearing Hu Teng's order, Zhang Heng-659's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was full of consternation.
Charge? Are these warriors planning to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Shadow Insect Tide, which has an Omega Life Energy Level? What's the difference between this and going to die?
The bowl-shaped mouth at the end of the tail gently covered it, obscuring 659's incredulous gaze.
The darkness was shrouded in front of him, but the resolute cries of the warriors were heard in his ears.
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”
The deafening shouts of killing echoed in this barren land like a thunderbolt tearing through the clouds.
"Human ...... A race that doesn't throw in the towel easily......"
659 silently recited in his heart the words that the other party had said when he first met Hu Tengye, as if he wanted to engrave it in the bottom of his heart.
"May the light of freedom bless you......"
……
In the silent night sky, the dark clouds that had been dense dispersed at some point, and the red moon, which was large enough to cover half of the sky, appeared again, hanging quietly in the sky, like a huge scarlet eyeball, overlooking the devastated earth.
Due to the lack of water, the flat ground cracked one after another, and even a fist could be stuffed into the widest gap.
In this lifeless wasteland, except for clumps of wild grass and clumps of grass, only the trunks of trees that have long since dried up, there is nothing to be seen of life.
But on the land where no creatures appeared, suddenly a wild grass fell to the ground, as if it had been trampled by something, but it didn't take long for it to recover as if nothing had happened.
This was followed by the next clump of weeds, and so on.
This vision continued until the grass was sparse, and it looked as if something transparent had ever passed through the dense grass.
"659, where are you......"
With the tail of the human-faced lizard entwined all over its body and its head covered by a bowl-shaped mouth at the end of the tail,173 it seems that there is no other activity worth entertaining than communicating with 659.
"Probably behind you, at six o'clock."
A spiritual force was channeled from Xiaocai's skull, quickly down the spine, and after circling the tail, it was released in the bowl-shaped mouth at the end of the tail.
Some resemble old-fashioned drawstring telephones, which use the vibration of a thin wire between two microphones to transmit sound.
At this moment, 173 and 659 are conducting information through two human-faced lizards, Big Color and Little Color.
It's just that it's not the sound that is transmitted, but the spiritual power of the two Elders.
"Okay, it's good that you're here, otherwise I'm alone in the dark around me, and I'm trembling just thinking about it......"
Hearing 659's answer, 173's restless heart also calmed down,
After "riding" the human-faced lizard Dacai and Xiaocai, Zhang Heng-173 and 659 understood the original meaning that Xiao Gu could escape.
Although the movement speed of the human-faced lizard is not slow, it is still not enough compared to the swarms of shadow insects, if it is just a simple speed contest, the two elders will not be able to escape the end of the dead worm belly after all.
The glimmer of life that can survive lies in the mimicry energy of the human-faced lizard
Force.
In addition to the huge tail that wrapped the two of them before, it also has a very key feature.
Covering the bodies of the two.
Because the skin on the body surface of the human-faced lizard is rich in pigment cells, it can continuously change the color of the body surface through structural changes and reflected light, simulating the surrounding environment, so as to achieve the effect of stealth.
Therefore, when the giant tail wrapped around the two of them changed color, it was equivalent to hiding the two big living people directly in the air, unless they were touched at close range, they were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
It was under the concealment of this method that 173 and 659 avoided the attack of the shadow insects, and successfully escaped into the darkness and escaped with their lives.
Compared with the happiness of the rest of his life after the 173 catastrophe, 659 obviously thought more, and at this time he still had a lingering question in his heart that could not be answered.
"173, why did Hu Teng and them charge the insect tide when we left?"
The spiritual power is like an invisible thin thread, connecting the two invisible human-faced lizards, and through the bowl-shaped mouth that is upside down on the head, the two Elders can communicate unhindered.
"In order to buy time for the two of us to retreat, alas, this old brother Hu is really a man, and that little Gu ......"
Although the head is covered by the bowl-shaped mouth on the lizard's tail, the view of the two is not actually obstructed.
On the contrary, there has been a great degree of improvement.
At the moment of the big mouth mask, the occupant's field of view will indeed be completely obscured, but it will soon return to normal, and even have two perspectives.
All of this is thanks to the special ability of the human-faced lizard, [Spirit Amplification].
As a hybrid creature with a gamma energy level, the human-faced lizard not only has the ability to change the skin color of the body surface, but also has the ability to change the mental strength of the passenger.
Regardless of whether the passenger's mental strength is high or not, the human-faced lizard can raise or lower it by a notch.
For example, 173, who originally had no mental power, could export his spiritual power with the bowl-shaped mouth at the end of his tail and increase it by a notch after riding the Venerable Lizard Xiaocai.
Similarly, if the passenger has strong mental power, it can reach an even more terrifying level under the increase in the ability of the human-faced lizard.
And the most direct effect brought by the increase in mental power is to close the eyes and see things.
By sharing the perspective of the human-faced lizard, coupled with their own mental power after being amplified, the passenger can observe the surrounding environment without relying on their own physical eyes.
It was with such an increase in spiritual power that 173 witnessed the scene of the warriors charging towards the Shadow Insect Tide.
"However, these warriors of the Avenger Army are equipped with high-hidden equipment, and they should be fully capable of slipping away from under the noses of the shadow insects, so why should they fight for their own lives?"
659's doubts were not solved by 173's answer, but became more and more dense.
"Eh, Gao Yin technique, do you mean the ability to change color like big and small color?"
"That's right, it's this ability, in the 659 timeline, we call this stealth technology high stealth technology, but in our timeline, this technology is not yet mature, it can only achieve the effect of deceiving the naked eye, and it will still be detected by anti-detection equipment."
"But Hu Teng also appeared with them, but they were not discovered by me at all, you must know that the detection device I am wearing on my right eye is the highest level of human development in the 659 timeline."
Hearing this, 173, who had been chattering, also closed his mouth, and 659 learned through spiritual perception that the other party seemed to be thinking.
"A mechanical creature with a level 2.0 technology level can't detect a piece of stealth equipment on the Honkai timeline, this red moon world is really getting more and more interesting......"
