Volume 2 Relic of the Throne Chapter 14 Duel I
Just as they were about to fight their way out of the encirclement, a raindrop suddenly fell on their heads, Xia Ming raised his head, but his eyes were blown by the cold wind. The space above their heads seemed to be cut off, and one by one the black shadows with shiny eyes jumped straight down from above, the snow drifted in, the rain fell, and they slammed into the ground with the air current, and the hunting knives in both hands were propped on the ground to balance their bodies, and their backs were slightly bent towards them when they landed, and finally they were half-kneeling on the ground to offset the cushion.
However, it may be because of the mass, a skeleton with limbs and arms, when jumping down, the impact force is larger, the arm is broken, the body is also scattered, directly pounced, and the parts are splashed.
A wet bird landed on Xia Ming's shoulder, he turned his head slightly, and the bionic puppet bird was grooming its feathers. It's the reinforcements that have arrived, this kind of puppet with a soul link, no matter the ends of the earth, there is an invisible chain that connects the two sides of the main object.
Xia Ming bent down and pulled out the puppeteer's hunting knife from the ground, the weight of the hunting knife was lighter, it seemed that the way they fought was dexterity.
"I've seen these things!" said Edie, "the last time I saw them was thirty years ago, and time flies." ”
He seems to be sighing, but he doesn't seem to be lamenting the passage of time, but a kind of ignorance of the world after understanding many things.
"Thirty years ago?"
"Yes, you will have a class on advanced mechanical principles, and the teacher is Diana No, who explains the construction of puppeteers. They are loyal soldiers, but they are rarely used. ”
"Why?"
"Because it's expensive to build, and it's hard to maintain, Teacher Dai Yana basically plays the piano to cows in class, and I've heard that there are some poisoners in the territory, and they can make cheap Deadpools by putting a few bugs on people, have you ever seen that kind of Deadpool, it's the kind of corpse that can move. ”
"Is it biting?" Xia Ming asked.
"That's the lowly Deadpool, the high-ranking Deadpool is just like these cyborgs, a ruthless killing machine. ”
"Now that the situation has changed, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, with these things, it won't be difficult to kill all these monsters, we are here and waiting for people to come to the rescue, don't run around. The old man whispered, "But this matter will not end so soon, you have to be prepared." ”
"Are these things so powerful?" Xia Ming asked very skeptically.
The puppeteer under his feet was wriggling like an insect with its legs plucked out, and he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to help it up.
The old man laughed, "You haven't seen the power of these guys.."
At this time, the puppeteers with their backs to them suddenly turned around at the same time, which frightened Xia Ming and them, only to see them leaning over slightly, and said in a very moving, sharp and thin voice that made the scalp tingle: "It's an honor to serve you.. Your balance is zero... Please top up.."
Their eyes cast a lettering in the air, indicating the price of one cole per use, which lasts for one hour. Xia Ming thought of this style, a bit like the department of the student union of professional pit people, the Snow Falcon Intelligence Department.
"This... What's the situation?"
Eddie turned her head to the side and asked in a low voice, "Is this a protection fee?"
"Well, I think so. Xia Ming nodded.
"Do you have any money?"
"Me neither!" Xia Ming replied calmly.
... It is a pleasure to serve you.. Your balance is zero... Please top up...
They began to repeat the phrase and repeat it, and it seemed that if they didn't pay for it, they wouldn't let you go.
"Times have changed."
This is the first evaluation of the outside world by an old scholar who has been in the deep mountains and old forests for 30 years, a classic evaluation.
"What now? Rush out?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to beat them." Edie stared at the puppeteers who surrounded them, all of them had four arms and four knives, and even if he were given four more arms, he wouldn't be able to beat them.
"If you don't look for it anymore, turn your shoes upside down, and check your clothes pockets and panties again, and you might find one. ”
Xia Ming: "... ”
"You're from the student union, aren't you?"
"Student Council?... I remembered that I didn't even have that name when I was a student, but I was born of the student union. ”
"Sure enough.." Xia Ming said, "That 'survival cheats' book was also written by you."
"Haha, yes, it's down there.." The old man grinned triumphantly.
.. Your balance is zero... Please top up.. , maybe it's an illusion, but they're really getting a little closer.
"These guys won't stop if they don't give money, haven't the academy paid you?"
"At that time, in order to effectively target everyone, the college used quantitative management, and the college had never seen such a thing as coins. ”
"Damn, times have changed. Xia Ming said.
"I... That one.. I have.." It was Su Lingxuan who spoke up.
"Do you have?!" Xia Ming and Edie turned their heads in surprise.
Su Lingxuan untied the slipknot from the back of her neck and took off the pendant. The old man snatched it, and sure enough, it was a coin of one cole, but this coin had a crooked square hole in the middle of it in order to be strung with a rope.
"This... Let's make do with it. Xia Ming said that he remembered that these guys were very picky.
"The little sister looks like she comes from a poor family. The old man rubbed the still warm coin and stuffed it into the hole in the head of a puppeteer, "And it must be stupid, or it wouldn't have come to us." ”
Airplanes~
The light in the puppeteer's eyes suddenly flourished, and it seemed that the power was surging all over the body, the skill was unlocked, and the eyes of the money were opened.
"Kill them for me. The old man tugged at the eyes behind it.
"Yes.. The host.." The puppeteer's voice also changed, became respectful, it was really a group of things that saw the money, it turned around, leaned over, bent its calves slightly, and finally rushed out, four knives, bringing endless killing, those eyes in the forest kept fleeing and extinguishing, but Xia Ming seemed to see it dropping parts along the way, no, not like, it finally collapsed, like a plate of loose sand.
The old man said that it must be going to put some big killing move, Xia Ming said, big your sister's killing move, run, this is the secret book on the survival cheats.
Prometheus Pavilion..
"Can you locate them?"
"I have a backup of their Horcruxes, and no matter how much the space extends, I can't block the connection between them, so they're all still alive. However, it is difficult for the mechanical guards to find them, and if they are constantly moving, there may be big problems on the side of the test area. ”
"Hunter, did he show up?"
"No, but those alien creatures, it seems, have become regular, all gathered by 114, like a lord appeared. And its five-headed body, but nowhere to be found. ”
Dai Yana dragged a purple ball of light in her hand, which was the eye of the mechanical guard, and everything the mechanical guard saw was transmitted back to this ball, and the picture was a few running points of light.
"It was the student council who intervened, and someone gave him the news, otherwise, with their IQ.."
"Yes, the ministers of the two departments have cooperated privately, I have called up their information, they graduated from the same secondary campus, they have a good relationship, and there is no problem with their status.
However, their actions do not seem to have had much effect. ”
In the cold night, Hoygray walked to the stone pillar where the hall door stood, and his pupils reflected the light of the fire on the tower, which seemed to be less hot.
"It's running out, old friend. "Out of the shadows came two men, one tall and one short, the short one holding a sword, and the tall one wearing a tattered cloak, which the cold wind rolled up to make the sound of hunting.
"What are you doing here?" Hoigre's pupils constricted slightly.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to kill, I'm here to help. The man pulled out a dark blue crystal bar, the color of which was not the crystal's own attribute, but the Devouring Key after adding the Devouring Code.
The light in Diana's eyes flashed, but another voice appeared in the darkness: "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Demon Spirit, it's really my honor to meet you again." ”
The dark figure sat on the railing of the castle, took off his hat, and had a pair of eyes that glowed blue.
"My apprentice wants to become famous, of course, stepping on the corpses of his predecessors. He threw the key to the man behind him, "Son, you can keep your promise, go to him, the forest is not within their rules, you can do whatever you want." ”
The man grabbed the key, did not speak, and jumped off the rooftop.
"You're crazy, do you understand the situation?"
"Of course I know, but aren't your mechanical guards specifically designed to deal with this situation?" the man sneered, "That's a matter for juniors, and that's what you taught me." ”
"You did this accident?"
"No, don't get me wrong, although we didn't plan to actually hand him over to you, but as for something like this, it really has nothing to do with me. The Devouring Key is actually just borrowing the 'Devouring Eclipse' order activated by the holy artifact in the palace, it is not like the power of the 'Devouring Key' to completely devour the order, but it is enough to help you survive this cold night. ”
Almost all of them didn't fall asleep tonight because it was so cold tonight. The temperature dropped to -30 as scheduled, but it may continue to fall, and everyone knows that probability is the most unreliable thing in the world.
Zhang Monkey and Shi Yu Minghong were wrapped in thick quilts, squatting in front of the fireplace like a pit, it's really strange tonight, those fires seem to have lost their temperature, you have to put your hands in it to feel warm, and even pee quickly, otherwise something big will happen.
"I found it. Shi Yu Minghong opened a page of ancient books, "This is order - the embodiment of the void, which can generate space in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional directions, and absorb a large amount of energy from the outside world when acting, until the temperature of the surrounding space drops to absolute zero, forming an independent and closed universe." ”
He closed the book and said, "It turns out that instead of lowering the temperature, it is necessary to extract heat from the surrounding objects, which can extract heat from the room through the surface and air and other mediums, unless it can create a vacuum layer around the house to block the contact heat transfer." ”
Zhang Monkey snatched the book, titled "I Really Am a Science Fiction Novel", and the year of publication is unknown. Zhang Monkey said: "This is a story book, I don't know which fool wrote it, I can't believe it, we just keep reading these strange books to fail the exam." ”
Shi Yu Minghong said: "What you said makes sense, it's better to take a high number and take a look." ”
Zhang Monkey said: "It should have been taken out a long time ago to treat insomnia, anxiety, dreams, and hunger."
Boom~ The sky suddenly brightened as day, and a pillar of thunder slammed down, spreading like branches over the forest, and the space shattered. Zhang Monkey and Shi Yu Hongming in the room jumped up and hugged each other in fright, thinking that they would be punished by the gods for saying the wrong thing, but this amazing momentum scared even those who didn't do anything wrong.
