Chapter 160: The Legendary Ghost
As the sky began to darken, Esther began to arrange a vigil, and he told Michaela to rest first and watch the first shift himself. *
Sitting in the fortifications, East's gaze fell on the virtual screen, which was divided into different areas. The images from the mechanical birds and the mechanical spiders are fed back to these different areas.
"Ghost, what the hell is it?" Michaela beside Easter began to breathe steadily, and gradually fell asleep. Even so, her brow furrowed, as if she had a worry that could not be dissolved.
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying, East really wants to get a piece of information about the ghost, the eternal battlefield is of great significance to East, so he has to gain a firm foothold here, and hone his strength, the most important thing is that he wants to figure out the secret of the steel core, he believes that all kinds of changes in his body are inseparable from the steel core in his chest, once the golden runes are combined into information that he can understand, it will prompt his body to enter a higher level of evolution.
Darkness had completely fallen, and after an hour of peace, Michaela was the first to wake up, and she took Raist's arm and whispered, "Rest and leave it to me." β
Ista nodded, and connected the mechanical bird and the mechanical spider to Michaela's processor: "You just have to keep an eye on it, and if anything happens, tell me as soon as possible." But remember to hide and don't make too much noise. β
"It's up to you to say that. Michaela gave Esther a blank look, then shifted her gaze to the virtual screen.
Esther leaned against the wall. Start closing your eyes and recuperating. Originally, he didn't feel much sleep, maybe because he used weakness deprivation for the first time when fighting the worm, which made him consume a third of his Pure Force in an instant. So Esther gradually felt a little blurred consciousness, and since there was Michaela's vigil, he was relieved to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took for Esther to feel a cold, soft little hand gently lapping his face. Esther opened his eyes violently, and it was darkness, and the next moment Esther adapted to the environment, and Michaela's pale face appeared in Esther's sight.
"It'...... It's coming!"
Michaela's trembling body lay on top of Easter. Then he lowered his head and whispered in the other party's ear.
Even when he fell asleep, Easter's breathing ability was still on, so he didn't panic too much. On the contrary, the more calm they became. Esther raised his left arm and called up the virtual screen, only to see a vague figure wandering through the hall in the pattern of the mechanical birds stationed in the stronghold.
Esther only felt a chill down his spine. at the top of the screen. Only a blurry shadow can be seen, and this is due to the night vision function installed after the mechanical bird has been upgraded.
Arnold and the three also woke up, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere at the moment, but they just sat in place and didn't dare to move.
Esther motioned for everyone not to panic, and he shifted his body and hugged Michaela to his side.
On the virtual screen, the vague shadow seemed to have no weight, floating aimlessly in the hall. Eventually, it seems that I am tired of this stronghold. Began to move towards the doorway.
Suddenly, there was a roar at the door of the stronghold. Immediately, two searchlights lit up, instantly illuminating the surroundings. The sudden glare made Esther's eyes narrow, and he hurriedly turned off the night vision of the mechanical spiders lying outside the colony. After his sight was normal, Esther finally saw the ghost's true face.
It is a creature that closely resembles a human woman, with a cold face without any expression, and a head that is not made of silk, but is made of bones. The bony head spreads all the way to the buttocks. Its body is a deep purple color, covered in a peculiar layer of beetles, crisscrossed with fibrous stripes that dot the entire body, and sharp spikes that stick out at the joints. Sharp as a human-like five-fingered blade!
Behind the ghost was a cube-like mechanical body that floated in mid-air, and at this moment the two top corners collapsed, and two large searchlights stretched out, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day. On the floating mechanical cube, intricate electronic patterns emerged, which at first glance seemed chaotic, but if you looked closely, it would seem that there was some kind of wonderful connection between each electronic pattern.
"What now?" asked Arnold from the awareness of the GuΓ² clan emblem.
"Look, I've stored the ghost's image. "All we have to do now is wait for it to leave, and then hand the image over to the King's Sword." β
"Let's hope this guy won't show us. Payne said with some concern.
Easter has opened the Panorama Map, which also has an almost stealth effect under the Breath Gathering ability. So Easter can be used without any scruples. However, looking at the panoramic map in his mind, Esther was a little confused, because there was no sign on it, as if the ghost did not exist at all, but the mechanical cube surged with terrifying energy, like a moving arsenal.
Just as the five of them were praying that the ghost would leave, Easter's face suddenly changed, because in the panoramic map, he appeared dozens of vigorous life breaths moving towards the stronghold.
"What's going on?" Jack asked, noticing the change in Esther's face.
"Looks like something is rushing towards the stronghold. "Be prepared, if the fight gets too close to us, we'll have to run away with all our might." β
As he spoke, Esther took out all the high-explosive grenades in the space backpack: "One box for one person, don't save it if there is danger, throw it all out." β
The atmosphere in the fortifications instantly became tense, and Michaela held Easter's big hand tightly, and Easter could even feel the fear in her heart.
"You're my lieutenant, keep your spirits up, we'll be able to escape. Esther shook the other party's small hand vigorously, "You two, don't always have a bitter melon face. β
Arnold and Payne all had wry smiles on their faces, they weren't as optimistic as Easter.
Easter, who had been staring at the virtual screen, suddenly reminded, "It's Private Tyranny!"
Those dozens of powerful life breaths finally rushed into the sight of the mechanical spider. When Private Taryn saw the ghost, he began to charge!
"Ghosts don't belong to the Tyranids?" asked Easter, somewhat surprised.
Not only him, but the other four were also a little dumbfounded, could it be that the ghost was a native of the Eternal Battlefield? Because the strange insect beetles on the ghost's body are obviously unique to the Tyrannians.
Private Tyron's charge was extremely violent, but the ghost didn't make any extra moves, just stood calmly on the steps outside the stronghold, and the searchlight on the mechanical cube illuminated the path of the Tyron privates.
In a breath, Private Taryn's charge reached a hundred meters in front of the ghost, and such a short distance was already very dangerous. And the ghost remained motionless, as if the dozens of Tyranid soldiers in front of him did not exist at all.
Staring closely at the ghost on the virtual screen, the steel nucleus in East's body actually began to react, and East's face changed greatly, because his ghost's motionless body actually trembled slightly. Esther secretly screamed badly, and tried his best to suppress the steel protocore, which did not make the ghost sense. Esther wiped a cold sweat, sure enough, this Eternal Battlefield is the right one, but now is definitely not the time to delve into it, and a careless will lead to the destruction of the team.
Finally, Private Tyron rushed in front of the ghost, and the hearts of the five Easters were in their throats, and they all wanted to see how the ghost fought.
Suddenly, the Tyron privates who rushed to the front forcibly stopped the momentum of the forward rush, and then the companions who followed closely behind also stood still. For a while, dozens of Tyranid soldiers stood in front of the ghost like clay statues, and what was even more strange was that they maintained a posture of charging and attacking, as if they had been immobilized.
Esther only felt his hairs stand on end, because in his panorama map, the Tyranid soldiers had completely lost their breath of life, and Esther had no idea how the ghost did it.
In the next moment, the body of the Tyron soldier cracked violently, turning into a cloud of flesh and blood.
Seeing this strange scene, the steel teams in the fortifications all gasped, and their faces turned pale!
"It'...... How did it do it?" Arnold almost screamed, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and used his consciousness to communicate.
"I just hope it didn't notice us. Payne kept silently thinking about it, trying to dispel his fears. But looking at the minced flesh in that place, he couldn't concentrate no matter what.
Easter's sweat also flowed, and he even regretted his recklessness a little, and he really saw the strength of the ghost, Easter realized that he was still too naΓ―ve, if he had a business trip, his decision would bury the entire steel team.
The ghost began to move into the distance with the corpses all over the ground, and Esther noticed that there was no blood on its feet, and that it seemed to float away as its slender legs swayed.
Finally, the terrifying figure and the mechanical cube gradually disappeared into the night, and the five Easters let out a long breath. Arnold took out a cigar with trembling hands, and at this moment he didn't care about anything else, lit one and inhaled it violently, only to cough violently because of the excessive movement.
Payne was lying on his back as if he had collapsed, and he could see that his samurai robe was completely soaked with sweat and almost wrung out of the water.
Jack was a little better, and his pale face finally regained a little blood. Michaela had been clutching Easter's right hand tightly, and her pale knuckles had finally begun to relax.
"That's good luck!" Esther wiped a handful of sweat, and then said decisively, "Retreat, return to the Sword of Kings to hand over the mission." (To be continued!)
