Chapter 1172 Karin's Return to the Country, Reunion of Old Friends

With a fire rate close to that of a metal storm, Saya sprayed out large pieces of crystal clear "bullets" like tiny crystals.One by one "Mechanical Manhead Snake" shattered in the rain of crystal bullets, and at the same time, a faint white smoke was emitted.

However, there were too many "fly snakes", and Saya's strafing shots just created waves of waves in the snake tide, and a large group of "fly snakes" jumped up again, shooting dense needle rain towards the meat ball in the midair.

"I blow... blow blow!"

Saya, who has been transformed into a ball, speaks in a thin voice like a child.The hole in its belly ejects a strong air current as a defense.

At the same time, Atom also acted.

Although he and Saya were at odds with each other, but when it came time to fight, the young tin woodman was very sensible.He leaped high, two arms popped out umbrella-like metal strips, stretched out into two "umbrella shields", splashing out a large amount of sparks, covering himself and Saya.

Then he fell to the ground with a bang, the two mechanical arms stretched long, and the umbrella shield stretched out like wings, continuing to cover Saya.Clouds of smoke and dust came out from under the feet, driving the steel body into the insect swarm.A pair of natural arms held metal sticks and smashed the "fly snakes" into pieces.Another pair of mechanical arms popped rusty blades from the end, stirring up a rain of viscous black water.

"Do you want to die? Don't think that your rusty iron skin can stop my bodily fluid shot!"

"Looking at your ball, you know that you have never seen this kind of enemy before. At least I have dealt with meat worms!"

The two fought and scolded, but one melee and the other long-range, they cooperated very tacitly.

Working so hard and desperately, and trying to suppress each other's hatred, and working together, it is natural to let the witches see their abilities.Along the way, Tina was the first to warn of any threats, Karin was the main attacker, Leitana was the main defender, and Oresa grabbed the head with a sword... Oh, strange head, the two of them hardly did anything, Just doing some wizarding work.

Relying on the steel armor, Aytom rushed into the insect swarm unstoppably, and the "blender" in his hand harvested a large number of strange insects.With him attracting the swarms and the umbrella shield covering him, Saya strafed in the air, seemingly gaining the upper hand, and the witches of the Red Alliance had no chance to make a move.

However, the witches made a move, and Leitana waved down countless light golden shields, covering Atom and Saya at the same time.Oresa and even Karin were overflowing with dark gold and emerald green light, as if they were going to make a big move.

The Tin Woodman and the Meatball Man wanted to yell at the same time, what a bully!
At this moment, the strange insects suddenly emitted a deep purple light, which was blazing brightly. It was originally a collection of small snakes, but they quickly condensed together and turned into a large group of dazzling purple light.

"This look is much more pleasing to the eye..."

Karin shouted in the air: "It's much better!"

Before the five to sixty meter high and wide purple light dimmed, Karin's billowing body twisted and twisted, turning into a vigorous and slender dragon. The faucet poked down and spewed out a rush of white flames, instantly dispelling the purple light. devour.

The crackling and crisp sound exploded in the flames, and then scattered from the light cluster like fireworks, causing the smoke and dust on the ground to boil, like a boiling oil pan.

Aytoum's mechanical arm drooped down, and Saya let out a sigh of relief, all of them were frightened.

The swarm gathered a new form, and it wasn't the witches who took the lead and destroyed this move, they really couldn't dodge it.

The swarm of combined insects melted layer by layer in the white flames, but as if they could heal instantly, they were still working hard to fill the gap and maintain their shape.

The dark golden arrow light pierced through the monster, and it was fleeting. A few clusters of purple light burst out, and the swarm stagnated. They could no longer heal and regenerate, and turned into green smoke in the white flames until they disappeared.

The golden light stretched into Oresa, and she said happily: "Sure enough, there are uncoordinated hub nodes, and you can see it at a glance!"

Saya in the air, like a child who has been robbed of a lollipop, said aggrievedly, "Didn't you say you won't show your ability?"

Aitom's focus was not on this. He looked at the black and white dragon in the sky, with a pair of long eyes wrapped in black eye circles, and the eyes were almost facing each other. He was amazed: "What kind of dragon is this?"

"This is Fat Dragon..."

The dragon that Karin turned into was perfunctory about the topic of her strange dragon form, and answered Saya: "Tina has found out earlier, we don't need to hide our identity anymore."

Leitana sighed: "It's said to be tongue-grabbing, but Her Highness Tina has become a tongue herself."

She smiled again: "I hope she doesn't rush in and cause any trouble, let's go there quickly."

The three witches unfolded their witch armament, stretched eight steel mechanical legs around their waists, and used the supervisor mecha to move quickly in the complex terrain intertwined with jungle and ruins.

Atom and Saya were put on the back of the mecha by Leitana and Oresa respectively, and it was the first time they had seen witches in this form.

Saya asked Oresa: "You seem to be able to change in ever-changing ways, even weirder than us."

Oresa said: "Why is it so strange? These things are all mechanical, they are attached to our bodies, they are weapons for combat and tools for labor, and it is not that their own form has changed."

Saya sighed: "Yeah, I also began to feel that our meatball people are actually very abnormal."

Oresa said comfortingly: "Don't think so, you can still return to...the solid human form, which means that you haven't completely become another kind of creature."

Saya sighed louder: "Many young meatball people feel that it is unnecessary to return to human form, and they even developed a new language in the spherical form. In another tens of hundreds of years, I am afraid there will be no meatballs. People remember that they still have the form of a solid person.”

Oresa was stunned, looked at Atom who was talking to Leitana in front of her, and said with a wry smile: "That's really troublesome, you are actually exactly the same as us, the current state is not a natural evolution, but an arcane one. What the teacher did."

Saya continued to exhale, and her original plump body shrank into a rib-bone beauty. Her tone was extremely bitter: "But many people think that a hollow human being is the perfect form for them, and a solid human form is too cumbersome. They would rather become a new creature."

Oresa was silent for a moment, and said with certainty: "We will solve this problem, not that we will force you to make a choice, but we will find a way to make you not make that choice. Whether it is to become a new No living creature will make a hollow person like you suffer like this."

She smiled faintly: "For example, it will allow you to switch between the two forms more conveniently. Not only will there be no troubles in returning to the state of a solid person, but you can also enjoy the same treatment as other solid people."

"The Institute of Magic Arms will be very interested in you. They are short of new projects. They will soon come up with... Hollow Man Arms, just like the Witch Armor on me. At that time, the hollow form will only be you A special form used for fighting and labor, under normal circumstances, you are still human beings, it’s just that your body structure is special.”

Saya nodded longingly, but shook her head again: "There will always be hollow people who don't think that the state of a solid person is necessary. They already think that roundness is beautiful, and all solid people are barbaric and ugly."

Oresa realized something: "Do you already feel that you are a new creature?"

Atom in front also asked Leitana in an incomprehensible tone: "Why not fix it on the body, connect it with the flesh and blood, and become a part of the body? This is very convenient, and you have to go through some ghosts and the like." Object control, not as flexible and easy to use as controlling one's own limbs."

Retana said subconsciously: "No one likes to look like a mantis...Uh, sorry I didn't mean you."

Aitom spread out six palms at the same time: "It doesn't matter, we are very different after all. Before, you always only have two hands and two legs, and you always feel that you are pitifully weak. Now that you have so many extra legs, I feel much more pleasing to the eye. gone."

Retana was almost choked, she got serious: "Whether it looks good or not is just a result, the real difference is the evolution of creatures under environmental selection."

"For us humanoid souls, the more parts on the body, the better, because each part needs to be controlled by the head."

"Why do most humanoid creatures, as well as advanced creatures, only have five fingers and toes? Because that is the limit that the brain can coordinate and control while meeting the needs of action and labor."

She asked curiously: "Aitom, your four mechanical arms will be very natural to use. Are each of them the same as your original arms?"

Aitom's tone became proud: "Of course, I have worked hard to train myself. If I don't have such skills, how could I be selected by the village to take risks with you?"

Retana sighed: "In other words, this is not a natural ability of you tin woodmen, only a few very special people can do it."

Aytomu was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "It's true what you said, but if we don't resist the erosion of iron skin disease and eventually turn into a mechanical monster, it should be a natural ability."

Leitana said mercilessly: "After all, that is a monster that doesn't even have intelligence."

Aitom said gloomyly: "You mean, our current state is abnormal, is it a monster?"

Retana nodded: "Look, we don't need to connect the robotic arm to the flesh and blood, just install it on the body like wearing clothes or holding weapons, and we can do what you can do."

Aitom shook his head and said: "But we have to fight the enemy at any time, and it is faster to maintain this state, and I don't think it is necessary to make ourselves into this weak state that we can only enjoy."

At this time, Karin's voice sounded: "So, Aytom, you have to ask your tin woodmen what the meaning of life is."

"In order to prevent iron skin disease, in order to resist the meat monster, you have become like this."

"If you really become a brand new life, is this the meaning of your existence? Just to deal with a disaster?"

Aitom was at a loss: "Is there anything wrong with this? Life...isn't it just alive, isn't it?"

Karin said: "No, just like people eat to live, and people don't live to eat. Of course, life is meaningful only if you survive, but it doesn't mean that the meaning of life is survival."

Just talking about this, Karin suddenly muttered to herself: "The changes of the Tin Woodman and the Meatball Man are like a large-scale mutation of the gene for a specific environment, and it has become very targeted. .If the environment changes again, these targeting will not only be ineffective, but also become a huge burden, and it will be more difficult for them to adapt to the new environment than normal humans."

"If gods are also compared to a specific mutation, why do we emphasize maintaining the heart of a mortal? The reason is that after becoming a god, the path of evolution is frozen. There are other possibilities, and it cannot adapt to a wider environment.”

"Why insist on the mortal heart and the mortal form? Because this is a minimalist state, a starting point that can lead to any direction and adapt to any environment. If you lose this starting point, you will never come back and never have universal capabilities."

"I seem to understand a little more. If the meaning of life lies in evolution, then evolution is not simply becoming stronger, but having more possibilities and being able to adapt to more environments. This also corresponds to the expansion of life movement. The more advanced life, the more it will break through the original environment and enter a brand new world.”

"So, freedom of life means..."

Atom asked in a low voice, "Karin...what is His Majesty talking about?"

Retana said: "I don't understand well either, but when she fully understands, maybe your problem will be solved."

"I'm about to understand!"

Karin heard it, and said eagerly: "I have to find a place to practice Zen! Damn it, why is it that Fei Ni can break through with Li Qilai while sleeping, and it's a sudden enlightenment flow for me! Are you bullying me to be dull?"

Just after finishing speaking, the toppled high tower in the center of the royal capital shook in the distance, and thick smoke and dust could be vaguely seen emanating from somewhere in the high tower.

In the witch channel, Tina yelled: "It's over! My SAN value is gone! Come on! Give me some value!"

"Tina, what are you shouting about here?"

Aurora, who sits in the New World, reprimanded: "This is the Witch Channel, not the Tinniway Action Channel!"

Tina defended: "No, it's not just about Tinniway. Forget it, I can't speak clearly. You can see for yourself!"

She posted a video, which seemed to be not long ago.

The video is from Tina's No.1 perspective. She has just passed through the messy underground passage like a spider's nest, and touched the inside of the tower.

In the advance team's source magic field scanner, this tower is the place with the highest energy intensity and the most active energy on the Tinyway plane. If there is really an Arcanist, it must be here.

Tina walked through a passageway that was very similar to the style of the Alfred Base, and used her thoughts to add subtitles to the video.

"My soul perception has been severely disturbed, the same as the scattered spirit particles covering the capital, but the intensity is higher. I really don't know how these spirit particles remained scattered, but they didn't dissipate like smoke. "

"I hope our spiritual experts can figure it out, otherwise the Goddess of Order or other enemies will also come to this hand, and our three-in-one scanner will be abolished by two-thirds of its functions."

"The space settings, wall panels, floors, and this very...modern door are all similar to the ones in the Avebier base. Needless to say, it was done by those arcanists who became leaders. .”

"There's still a light in front of me. Wait, I sensed very vague soul fluctuations. Unfortunately, the sensing is incomplete. I can't tell if it's one or several, or... not even one?"

"Look at me sneaking over, I have figured out the structure of the wall panel, and ruled out the existence of space traps and barriers. I can go directly through the wall..."

"This is a place that looks like an operating room. There is a person sitting with his back to me, wearing a strange robe, and he is motionless, but I can sense a clear breath of life, but the state of his soul is a bit strange..."

"Three meters, two meters, one meter..."

"I just need to breathe a little, and I can turn him over."

"This is not a new magical technique, and I don't know how to charm and paralyze. The process is like this. I breathed out pure death power to make his soul trance, and then I pulled out the needle and injected the paralyzing medicine into his body inside."

A thick needle tube was held by hand and appeared in the field of vision, and Tina continued to approach.

The vision blurred for a moment, and the light and darkness changed. Tina lifted her invisibility and really breathed a sigh of relief at that person.

As soon as the needle was raised, the man not only didn't freeze, but turned around.

A very impactful scene made the witches who were nervously watching the video, including Li Qi, subconsciously yell.

It was a human face that seemed to be pieced together by countless worms. The flesh and blood disintegrated into countless groups, twisting and wriggling, barely gathering the outline similar to the facial features.

That's not the point, the point is that a long tongue with countless scales sticks out from the wide open mouth... no, it's a long snake.The scales should be made of metal, and there is a sharp friction sound when they twitch.

If you look carefully, there is a suction cup-like device every other section, which is a long snake, it is clearly a tentacle!
This tentacle is like a power line or a network cable, and it is connected to a certain interface on the wall on the table that can be determined not to be formed naturally, but to be artificially installed.

Looking at this "worm face", Tina covered her mouth with her hands, groaned, and backed away in a hurry.

The "worm face" dissipated like melting ice and turned into thin snakes, shooting towards Tina. At the same time, the robe rolled up, and some tentacles that were thinner than the one in the mouth also clung to the thin snakes , meandering to.

The crystal light on Tina's body burst out, and a large cloud of smoke and dust exploded in the passageway, and she quickly distanced herself from the "worm-faced man".

The moment Tina knocked out of the tower, the thin snakes and tentacles in the smoke intertwined together to form a new face, as if saying something.

Of course Tina didn't care to listen carefully, she had to recharge her soul.

In the witch channel, Catherine snorted: "This, scumbag, scared, joke..."

Aurora seemed to be vomiting: "Uh... so disgusting!"

The Banner Witch's tone implied joy again: "Oh, maybe it's not because of this, I have to see a doctor."

The trio on Karin's side didn't react much, but Fei Ni, who was basking in the sun on the heart of the silver moon, let out a surprise.

"Li Qi, did you see that?"

She took a screenshot of the image at the moment when Tina withdrew, and drew a red circle: "This face seems a little familiar?"

Li Qi tried his best to identify the face in the red circle, but couldn't find anything in his mind: "I don't know..."

He said firmly: "This must be an arcanist. There are not many arcanists I have contacted, and all of them are finished."

Just finished hissing and took a breath...

Indeed, there was an Arcanist whom he knew and even fought but ran away!
It's just that that guy has something to do with the weird things he used to mess with with corruption, so he still doesn't want to think about it.

Li Qi was silent for a while, and said leisurely on the channel: "It's really a reunion."

Tina yelled: "I ran into it myself, not you, you have to pay for the loss of my SAN value!"
