Chapter 256: The Price

The warning of the old voice was apparently not heeded by the mechanical beings trapped in the thorn cage.

There are even some mechanical beings who think of this as a conspiracy by humans to trap them here.

Subconsciously struggled even more.

Some of the mechanical beings even picked up their weapons and fired at the thorny cages around them.

"Da ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"Boom !!"

The heavy machine-gun fire was interspersed with the sound of several missile explosions from time to time.

Under such heavy artillery fire.

Patches of thorn cages suffered great damage in an instant.

All of a sudden, the remnants of the leaves flew and the thorns broke, and the thorn cage covering a radius of 150 meters shook "suddenly".

It seems to be trembling slightly, and it seems to be ยทยทยทยทยทยท I can't stop the excitement.

It didn't take long.

Those seemingly indestructible thorn cages that bound mechanical life have suffered varying degrees of destruction.

There were even two thorny cages with a large hole blasted out by missiles.

And just when the mechanical beings thought that their counterattack had worked, they couldn't help but increase the intensity of their destruction.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was still pressing one hand on the miniature version of the thorn cage suddenly felt a terrifying suction from the miniature thorn cage in his hand.

In the next second, his own blood, essence, and even the little vitality left because of the sacrifice of thirty years of life flowed along this terrifying suction to the miniature thorn cage.

Under that terrifying suction, the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s skin, flesh, dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The cage that had absorbed the agent's flesh and blood emitted a glowing green light.

"No ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent's throat trembled slightly, but before the sound could pop out of his throat, a ray of green light engulfed the body of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had become as shriveled as a mummy.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

At the moment when the brilliant green light engulfed the agent, a chilling green light shone on the large thorn cage that enveloped most of the battlefield.

With this faint green light lit up, the thorny cage that had been destroyed by those mechanical beings grew back in an instant.

And this time, the thorny cage that has regrown is tougher and more ยทยทยทยทยทยท Dangerous.

The humans who stayed honestly in the thorn cage before, or because of the restraint of flesh and blood, and did not struggle fiercely, were fine.

The thorn cage, which has been repaired as before, has only grown denser and tighter.

And the mechanical life that struggled so violently that even destroyed part of the thorn cage was miserable.

Tough vines burst out in an instant, tying them tightly like rice dumplings.

The thick thorn spikes that seemed to have mutated at each glance were like water guns, "sizzling" at the mechanical beings bound by them, squirting a large amount of dark green liquid with a strong corrosiveness.

"Zizi Zi ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

A large amount of white smoke with a pungent smell rose.

Those invulnerable mechanical beings were quickly corroded into large dents.

Even some dark green liquid seeped directly into their bodies from the cracks of those mechanical lifeforms.

And how could the internal components of those mechanical life bodies be able to block the dark green liquid that even alloy armor can quickly corrode.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

There was a lot of white smoke coming out of the bodies of many mechanical beings.

Some of them were unlucky, and their bodies were corroded into big holes, and even the core modules related to the lives of these mechanical life forms were corroded to the core.

In the unbelievable gaze of many mechanical beings, among the sparks that "crackled", many mechanical beings were directly ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท by the dark green liquid shot out of the thorn cage silently Killed.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

"Shh~~~ Hell, what the hell is this?"

Tony Stark gasped at the sight of the struggling mechanical lives not far away.

At this point, he was extremely glad that he had stopped struggling after hearing Kilis's warning.

Otherwise, at this time, I am estimated to end up with those mechanical life.

Tony is not like those robots made of steel, but under his Mark VI armor, he is a real flesh and blood.

If his flesh and blood were accidentally contaminated with the dark green viscous liquid secreted by those thorn spikes.

Tony shuddered when he thought about the consequences.

Steve, who had never seen such a strange scene on the side, heard this, and involuntarily turned his head to look at Natasha, the "Black Widow" beside him, who was also trapped in a thorn cage.

If he was not mistaken, the guy who used this so-called thorn cage was wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. clothes.

"Natasha ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Without waiting for Steve to ask, Natasha on the side took the initiative to say, "Don't look at me, I don't know what this thorn cage is, butยทยทยทยทยทยท If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a 'taboo' for S.H.I.E.L.D. containment. โ€

"Contraindications?"

When Steve and Tony heard this, two rows of question marks popped up in their heads.

Seeing this, Natasha had to explain: "The legend of 'forbidden items' is a special forbidden item left by demons in the world, and in the past two months, strange events have occurred frequently around the world, and some long-sealed 'forbidden items' have also reappeared in people's eyes with some extraordinary events. โ€

"S.H.I.E.L.D. and the countries of the world, when they paid a huge price to solve these extraordinary events, they also obtained a lot of extraordinary items, and among them, the 'forbidden items' are the most powerful and the most bizarre extraordinary items."

"In the past, all the incidents related to 'forbidden things' in S.H.I.E.L.D. were personally taken over by Director Fury, so I don't know much."

"Of course, all this is just my speculation, and I'm not sure if this so-called 'thorn cage' is the so-called 'taboo'."

After Natasha finished speaking.

Kilis's eyes flickered a few times.

[I didn't expect S.H.I.E.L.D. to still control the taboo of the 'Thorn Cage', it seems that Alexander Pierce is a little underestimated by Nick Fury.] ใ€‘

S.H.I.E.L.D. has collected some of the news of the 'forbidden items', and of course Kiris knows about it.

But there was no such thing as a 'thorn cage' on the list of 'taboos' she knew.

Now it seems that although Nick Fury is a little incompetent, he is not useless, at least there are some things that he really hides and does not let Pierce interfere at all.

Of course.

This may also have something to do with the fact that the boss had already reminded him that there are a large number of Hydra spies lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. now.

But.

In this way, he and the boss can plan well and completely take S.H.I.E.L.D. into their own hands.

After all, those good things in Nick Fury's hands will only be wasted.

Thinking of this, Killis couldn't help but squint slightly when she looked at the figure not far away that exuded a glowing green light, and her eyes with a hint of charm were slightly narrowed.

And except for Kiris.

Tony and Steve, who heard the word "taboo" for the first time, couldn't help but slowly ponder the information that Natasha had revealed.

After a few seconds of silence, Tony said with some dissatisfaction:

"Heh, since S.H.I.E.L.D. has such a good thing as a 'forbidden item', why didn't you use it earlier just now, and you have to wait until so many people die before using it?"

If S.H.I.E.L.D. had used the 'Thorn Cage' earlier, the casualties of those police officers and ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. agents would not have been so tragic.

As soon as Tony's words came out, Steve glanced at Natasha quietly.

Although that look didn't say anything, it also made Natasha feel a trace of dissatisfaction from the American team.

"I said, the 'taboo' thing is not in my hands, in fact, I didn't know that Director Hill also asked someone to bring a taboo over this time, and, as far as I know, 'taboos' are such things, there are all kinds of serious use restrictions and side effects, not to mention the use, once you don't get it right, something happens, and the contraindications break out of control, but it will not be a small ยทยทยทยทยทยท than the current disaster."

Just as Natasha explained.

The mechanical life, shocked by the horrors of its companions, ceased to struggle.

The most central place in the thorn cage.

The figure that was covered in a glowing green light, and the light on its body began to gradually crumble.

And after seeing the current appearance of the figure in the green light, Tony, who had used the taboo of "Thorn Cage" on S.H.I.E.L.D. so late, made so many casualties on the battlefield instantly shut his mouth.

After the glowing green light disappeared, all that was left where the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent was standing was a white skeleton entwined in thorns.

And Steve's eyes, who also saw this scene, were even more condensed.

"That's what it isยทยทยทยทยทยท Is there a price to pay for using those contraindications? โ€

After a second of silence, Tony, who usually has a bit of a poisonous tongue, took the lead in saying to Natasha: "Okay, I apologize, no matter what, the guy who used the thorn cage is a hero." If he has relatives, the living security of his relatives for the rest of their lives, we Stark Industries have it. โ€

Natasha, who was also shocked by the scene in front of her, heard this, and said in a somewhat heavy voice:

"I thank you for that guy, and if he has any relatives, I'll tell you."

Just as Tony and Natasha began to discuss the aftermath of the hero who used the 'Thorn Cage', Kiris, who was on the side, suddenly spoke: "Two, interrupt, now is not the time to discuss this. โ€

"As far as I know, once the 'forbidden object' is out of control, it can easily get out of control, which can lead to all kinds of disasters, and now, uh-huh, it's clear that it seems to have lost its owner again."

"For our safety, and to keep the forbidden object from really getting out of control, Miss Natasha, I thought you'd better ask S.H.I.E.L.D. if there is any good way to control this forbidden object."

As she spoke, Killis glanced at the mechanical beings not far away, and said in a low voice:

"Moreover, the person who controls the thorn cage is dead, and those robots are afraid ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

After listening to Kilis's words, Natasha's heart instantly sank.

Oh, yes!

Don't look at those robots as if they're scared right now, but when they react and realize that the human agent who controlled the thorn cage is dead, will they still be as honest as they are now?

Come to think of it.

Natasha quickly pressed her hand to the wireless headset she was wearing on her ear and tried to contact Maria Hill, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in charge of the operation.

As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York, Natasha doesn't believe that Maria Hill is unaware of the taboo of the 'Thorn Cage'.

Or rather.

This forbidden item was simply carried by Maria Hill.

Case.

So no matter what, Maria Hill will more or less know the information about this taboo 'Thorn Cage'!

"Ziziziยทยทยทยทยทยท Zizi Zi ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Just as Natasha tries to reach Ciel, there is a blind sound in her wireless headphones.

Even no matter how Natasha adjusted her wireless headphones, she couldn't receive the slightest bit of information from the outside world.

Not to mention connecting Maria Hill.

Even the channel of Fighting with Steve, who was close at hand, couldn't be connected.

Looking at Natasha, who was constantly adjusting the headphones, Tony Stark on the side said gloomily: "Don't waste your efforts, this weird thorny cage seems to have a means to interfere with the signal, just now I asked Jarvis to exhaust all methods, and he can't connect to the outside world." โ€

After hearing the conversation between Tony and Natasha, a trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of Kiris on the side.

Looking at Steve, who was bound to death in the thorn cage not far away, Killis took out a small mirror from her arms and threw it to Steve through the gap in the thorn cage.

After raising his hand with some difficulty, and taking the mirror that Kiliss threw over, Steve looked at Kiris with some confusion.

The look in his eyes seemed to ask why Killis had thrown it to him

"Put it away, if this 'thorn cage' really gets out of control, at a critical time, this mirror may save you once."
