How Did It Become a River Crab?

The believers in white robes respectfully bowed to the structure formed of brass scales and mechanical structures, with a humble and pious tone.

"Okay, this should be the last batch."

An unremarkable, somewhat hoarse female voice came out of the tall and oppressive structure, "Let's get started, remember to bring all the people who meet my standards and come here after dealing with them."

"As you wish."

The believers responded loudly and waved to the Sarkaz mercenaries next to them. Several mercenaries walked into the square in silence, followed the scattered believers in batches, and stood in front of the refugees.

"...What are you going to do?"

Even though they knew that they might not be able to escape the fate of death, when the white-clothed believers and the Sarkaz mercenaries really walked in front of them, many people still struggled desperately, some cursed loudly, some wanted to turn around and run away, more The people kneeling on the ground begged bitterly, but nothing could hinder their actions. Eyjafala sat in the middle and rear, silently looking in the direction of the believer closest to her. Soon, for the first time, she Witnessed the [sacrifice] process with my own eyes.

A few strong Sarkaz mercenaries lifted a middle-aged man of the Volpo tribe, and clasped his head and chin tightly with their big hands, preventing him from moving his head or making a sound with his mouth, and then , The white-clothed believer took out a slender, crystal clear slender object from his waist.

It took a few seconds for Eyjafjallah to confirm that it was a long and slender ice pick, about half the thickness of the little finger. Just when Eyjafala was wondering about the function of this ice pick, the disciples showed her the [usage of the ice pick] 】……

The believer raised his hand, pinched the tail of the ice pick, pointed the tip at the bottom of the Volper's eye socket, and inserted it straight in between the eyeball and the eye socket. Ignoring the Volper's screams, he directly pointed the ice pick towards the As soon as it was sent inside, it was inserted into his brain, and it moved horizontally from side to side as if stirring.

During this process, the screams of the Volpo people weakened extremely quickly. After the believer stirred for about three seconds, his body was completely paralyzed. Then, the believer pulled out the ice pick, and Eyjafala It can be clearly seen that a ray of light purple has appeared at the end of the ice pick. Afterwards, the believers and mercenaries put down the paralyzed Volper who looked no different from a vegetable, set up the next victim, and continued to repeat. During this process, amidst countless screams and terrified shouts, the purple color on the ice cone gradually increased and deepened.

Looking at this scene, Eyjafala felt an extremely strong nausea rushing up from her throat, but she suppressed the fear welling up in her body, endured the severe pain in her head and thought, she did not She is not a medical major, nor has she ever dabbled in the corresponding field, but she has had contact with many medical operators in Rhodes Island. She knows that the part where the ice pick pierces is roughly the [lobotomy], which is the largest partition of the brain. .

In Colombia a long time ago, there were doctors who treated mental patients by cutting off the gray matter and white matter of the frontal lobe of the brain. It was called "frontal lobotomy". The purpose is basically to simply [quiet down] the mentally ill. Patients who are [treated] by this barbaric therapy often completely lose their ability to take care of themselves, and are no different from walking dead.

In frontal lobotomy surgery, there used to be a surgical method called ice pick therapy, which used to remove part of the patient's brain tissue with an ice pick. Some people are not even considered walking dead, and the ice pick seems to accumulate some kind of energy along with this process.

People who were pierced by ice picks and absorbed energy were piled up in the center of the square by mercenaries. Eyjafala knew what fate they would face. She had seen similar ones piled up in a settlement that had been captured. The pile of incinerated corpses can be completed only by a warlock who uses the skill of the flame source stone. It is an efficient and convenient way to deal with a large number of refugees who are no different from corpses.

Eyjafala really wanted to stand up and question them loudly, asking them why they committed such atrocious acts, but her past experience made her very clear that questioning and anger cannot make the evildoers feel ashamed. To stop them, the most important thing is to What works... is to blow them to pieces.

She stared at Maningshao not far away. This strange giant with the name of Yan Kingdom was standing on the edge of the refugee pile. The mercenaries of Sarkaz found out the relatively strong refugees from the pile and sent them Respectfully piled in front of Man Ningshao, Man Ningshao took out several dead black pills from nowhere, and shot them into the mouths of these refugees one by one.

After a while, these people uttered heart-piercing screams. They struggled crazily on the ground, their bodies rapidly deformed and expanded, and hemispherical structures that resembled pill shells bulged from their backs, chests and abdomens. After the sound of bones breaking, these people were turned into ladybugs, with three pairs of extra muscular arms on their bodies, holding various melee cold weapons, and their desperate faces were replaced by bulging hemispheres. They were about two meters tall Inhuman behemoth.

Eyjafala had fought the exact same creatures in the previous two months. These monsters and several other similar things were mixed in the team of Sarkaz mercenaries, serving as human shields and long-range outputters. She never knew Now that the truth about the origin of these monsters is revealed, it can only make her feel more nauseated.

...Not yet, the distance is too far.

Eyjafala estimated the distance between herself and Maningshao, and came to the conclusion that she could not launch an attack at this moment, but she also knew that if she dared to take the initiative to close the distance at this moment, the Sarkaz mercenaries around would take the lead Live by yourself, there is one and only one chance, what you can do now is to continue to wait for more results.

The screams and cries one after another made the air almost condensed, and the tinnitus caused by the origin stone disease could not block these desperate sounds at all. Eyjafala once wanted to temporarily turn off the hearing aid, but she still wanted to continue Observing the situation on the field, he could only bite his lip, restraining his fear and nervousness, and continued to wait.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, half a minute later, Aiyafala waited for this opportunity.

At the right rear of him, a strong Sarkaz-infected refugee violently broke free from the originium skill suppression handcuffs on his hand when the believers and mercenaries approached him, and the originium crystals on his body shot out The glow of steel turned into a bottom-up metal light blade extending from the arm, and slashed out from the bottom to the top amidst the roar, directly cutting the cultist from the bottom to the top. It became two halves, and immediately after, he burst out with lightning-like speed, and rushed towards a gap in the defense line that had become weak because some people were separated to assist the believers. Stand out!

At this moment, Maningshao raised his head, and the mechanical eyes exuding cold green fluorescence locked the position of the Sarkaz. It moved two steps forward, raised its right arm made of countless scales, Two scales inlaid with light green pill beads converged from the middle of the arm and shot straight towards the back of the Sarkaz. The two pills dissipated in mid-air and turned into a burst The strong light green wind caused the scales to cover a distance of [-] meters in an instant at the same speed as a bullet, piercing straight into the back of the fugitive, piercing out from the other side, embedded in the ground, and plowing on the ground. There were two traces more than ten meters long.

The fleeing Sarkaz fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, but failed to stand up again.

"It doesn't matter, come and pick up the ice pick on the ground and continue."

After Ma Ningshao finished this sentence in a flat tone, he held the claws towards the two scales in the distance. The scales trembled for a moment, and then bounced back to its right arm at a high speed, returning to its original position, followed closely by Ma Ningshao. Ning Shao took out two pills that were the same as before from the inventory, and wanted to inlay them on the scales...

And this moment is what Aiyafhara has been waiting for!

In order to raise his hand to hit the two scales, Maningshao subconsciously took two steps in the direction of Eyjafala, and with these two steps, Ayjafala brought her into his best shooting range.

At the moment when Maningshao was negligent because he wanted to reload the elixir on the scales, Eyjafala suddenly raised his hands, aimed at Maningshao's head, and operated the origin stone skills in his body according to the route he had prepared , Gathering all the power in the palm of the hand, a blazing fire like lava was ignited there!

For Eyjafala, who has been immersed in the field of origin stone technology for many years and has researched various origin stone technology suppression methods, [Origin stone suppression handcuffs] can not restrict her in the slightest, on the contrary, she even You can use the origin stone technique etching in the handcuffs to strengthen your own strength in turn, so that she can gain the power of a staff medium in a short period of time when she is unarmed, and Eyjafala bets everything on this blow. She took a deep breath, and threw the blazing fireball towards Ma Ningshao's head!

[Origin Stone Art Concentrated Ignition Explosive Type]!

This is the strongest Originium skill that Eyjafala can use without the help of a staff. This spell condenses her commonly used Originium skill [ignite], and transforms the skill that originally only had the effect of ignition It has become an extremely unstable source stone skill bomb. This is inspired by Mr. Crab and sister W who once saved him. Now it is applied to foreign visitors like Mr. Crab. Perhaps it can be regarded as a kind of cause and effect.

Caught off guard, Maningshao's head was directly hit by the fiery fireball, and the flaming light like a flat meteor bloomed on its head, throwing a stream of light like a rain of fire to the opposite side, metal and The giant made of scales was knocked off balance by this blow, and retreated a few steps in succession, almost tilted to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the fire ball that was almost stagnant on its head burst at the same time, and the fire-cast Red flowers bloomed on top of its head, and under the loud roar, Maningshao's body fell to the ground, his head was still covered by the fire, and it seemed to have almost melted.

...and it worked!

Eyjafala had no time to rejoice, and immediately activated the Originium skill again, ignoring the load on the body, and fired the second shot in succession, and the third shot [ignited] the Originium flame, even though the blazing fire was not as fierce as the first blow , but still blooming everywhere in Maningshao's body, just when Eyjafala thought he had succeeded, in the flames surrounding Maningshao, a scale inlaid with ice-blue elixir suddenly flew away. When shot out, the elixir shattered into scale-covered ice in mid-air, hit Eyjafjalla's shoulder hard, knocked her back several meters, and nailed her to the stone wall of the ruins behind.

The severe impact and severe pain from the pierced shoulder made Eyjafala close to fainting, but soon, she forcibly regained her sanity by force of will, continued to reach out, and shot two more shots in the direction of Ma Ningshao. But at this time, Maningshao had already stood up from the ground, and the two transparent pills on his shoulders shattered, instantly transforming into two layers of spherical shields covering his body, blocking two attacks respectively.

Seeing this scene, and the surrounding Sarkaz mercenaries who had reacted and gathered towards him, Eyjafala slowly lowered his hand and closed his eyes.

...It seems that there is no success.

Eyjafala is not surprised by this result. In the past two months, she has witnessed many tragedies in the dome. She knows very well that the opponents who did these things are not comparable to her, but...

Amidst the severe pain, Aiyafala finally recalled the appearance of Mr. Crab and W.

Anyway, I still want to try for a miracle that won't come...

Man Ningshao looked at Eyjafala who had been restrained and couldn't move, clicked his tongue twice, and glanced at his blood volume in shock.

74%... An operator with a lack of equipment can knock out so much HP as a fourth-order beginner... At this moment, Ma Ningshao felt that his employer put down the dome to create an isolation The decision of the space is indeed correct. According to the energy level of this world, even if you ignore the supervising officer, black coir raincoat, inner guard, deep sea hunter, and Wendigo, which are powerful units in the setting of Tomorrow's Ark, and only put Rhode Island in, At present, these people will also be a little tricky to deal with.

But... Ma Ningshao looked at Aiyafala who was nailed to the wall by himself.

It was also a pleasant surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Ningshao took out a communication device from the inventory, selected the communication number at the top, and dialed it.

After a while, the communicator was connected, and a clear male voice came from the other side: "Hello? Miss Ma? Is there any situation or need?"

"Mr. Li, there is one thing I would like to ask for your opinion." Man Ningshao looked at Ayjafala: "I am in the settlement of the salt lake on the southwest side... Ah, you have a positioning system, and I am here to collect the last batch of goods for preparation. Transported to the main sacrificial site, and accidentally met the operator of the original work [Aiyafala] here..."

"[Aiyafala]? What's the situation, do you need support?"

"No problem, I've subdued her. I'm calling to ask if you will use this operator. If you don't need it, I have a soul streamer item, which can sacrifice important characters in the world to obtain soul summons. It's just right There is one more limit to be collected, so I would like to consult your opinion, if possible, I will take it."

"Ah, no problem." Mr. Li's voice was very kind: "Our cooperation content does not have so many terms and conditions. If you encounter an original character that you need to use, you can use it directly, and you don't have to report it to me in the future. It is your freedom. Especially [Aiyafala] who has researched volcanoes, the sooner they are wiped out, the better."

"But..." Mr. Li paused, "Miss Ma, I am very glad that you are willing to communicate with me before doing this. This is a great respect for me and my faction. It's a good start, at that time, I will mention this matter to my superiors, and try my best to get some extra cooperation opportunities for you."

"Okay, then I'll hang up first, and see you in regular contact."

"See you in regular contact, I wish you a happy day, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Maningshao hung up the communicator, raised his head, and looked at Aiyafala.

Eyjafala also looked at this tall metal creation, she did not deliberately stare at it with fierce eyes, because she knew it was useless to do so, perhaps because she thought she was bound to die, Ma Ningshao was talking to the man on the other end. [Mr. Li] When communicating, she didn't deliberately avoid herself. Therefore, in just a few seconds, she got more information than the previous dozens of days, but...it was useless.

She didn't know what [hunfan] was, but soon, Ma Ningshao took out a flagpole with a scarlet flag from her backpack. On the flag, five black ones were arranged in a 2X3 format from top to bottom. , distorted face, the lower left corner is empty, Eyjafala has a premonition, after a while, it will be filled with his own face.

"It feels like I have collected all six Pokémon." Ma Ningshao sighed a little, "Aiyafala...I liked you quite a lot when I played mobile games before, please take care of me in the future, and continue to be for me Let's fight."

The next moment, Ma Ningshao pointed her soul flag at Eyjafala's body, and a scarlet sword light gushed out from it, covering her head, and Eyjafala felt a wave coming from her head. An unprecedented pain, as if someone had ripped his soul upwards. It wasn't until this moment, in a blur of consciousness, that the fear in Eyjafala's heart finally gained the upper hand.

I don't want to die... I don't want to die no matter what...

In the blurred vision, Eyjafala felt that she saw the figures of [Mr. Crab], [Sister W] and [Mr. SCOUT]. She knew it was an illusion, but she still felt an illusory sense of security, like It's a miracle that really happened.In a daze, she remembered the last words she had said to Mr. Crab a long time ago.

"You'll be back, won't you, Mr. Crab?"

"Definitely." Mr. Crab smiled, "This is my promise."

In the gradually blurred vision, Eyjafala saw a blue glow falling from the sky, as if a miracle had really happened, she even felt that she heard the sound of the falling light, and even felt that, just like that Leaving in the hallucination may also be a good ending.

...until she saw Ma Ningshao turning her head in horror.

In an instant, the pain lingering on Eyjafala's body disappeared, and the scales on her shoulders lost their effectiveness. She fell to the ground suddenly, and her vision was clear in the pain and consternation.

After that, her sight was occupied by that blue glow.

At the moment when the radiance fell to the ground, a series of sounds that only existed in memory came from beside Eyjafala, and the purple light swelled in front of her, turning into four-legged and shelled ferocious beasts one after another. Beasts, these fierce beasts appeared in every corner of this square out of thin air, and the number was at least three digits. Accompanied by the shouts of the mercenaries, it completely overwhelmed the cries of the refugees before, and the sense of dignity in the surrounding air disappeared at this moment. Eyjafala leaned against the wall, stood up slowly, and looked at the two Led by the giant ferocious beast, these monsters firmly guarded themselves in the middle.

She remembered them, even though thousands of days and nights had passed, even if there were unfamiliar ice edges on them, she still remembered their names.

... [Void Beast] ...

Eyjafala raised his head and looked at the beam of light.

In the beam of light, a chariot marked with the sign of [Rhine Life] and waving four robotic arms rushed out of the light, like an unstoppable army of thousands, stepped into the area where the mercenaries were most densely populated.Swinging the sharp blade, the plain white outer armor was stained with a large splash of blood, which almost turned crimson in an instant.

In the hands of the white-haired girl in black, countless thin white silk threads condensed, and the surrounding mercenaries who had not yet fought suddenly began to kill each other at this moment. He turned his head one hundred and eighty degrees and fell to the ground.

A plant-like creature drilled out of the ground at the front end of Eyjafjallah, and fired at the nearest mercenaries. The ice-blue peas wrapped in lightning split into multiple parts in the air, scattering in all directions, one by one The mercenary was frozen into an ice sculpture, fell to the ground, and shattered into rolling debris.

I don't know when, a rolling cantaloupe has come to her side, and the clear cantaloupe juice poured on Eyjafala's body, dispelling every trace of pain in her body, even the pain from the source stone lesion. Quickly suppressed, as if it never existed.

Maningshao next to the beam of light wanted to raise his arms and launch scales to sweep away the surrounding void beasts, but a blazing red dragon claw had already stretched out from the beam of light and grabbed it in front of him, as if made of flames. The fire dragon threw out both fists, and knocked Ma Ningshao back several meters away. Unsuspecting, it was punched against the wall, and hit the ground together with the wall, raising a large cloud of dust.

In the end, Eyjafala choked up, wiped away the unbelievable tears in her eyes with her hands, and looked towards the direction where the beam of light dissipated. There, there was a huge, color-changing giant swift that she would never mistake anyway. The crab stood on the ground, looked at Ma Ningshao silently, raised his right claw, and the thunder light burst out on it, almost dispelling the haze under the dead cloud.

"Let me say something first."

Mo Lan looked at Ma Ningshao who got up quickly, still looking dazed and puzzled, "I'm in a very bad mood right now and I need to vent, so if what I do next makes you feel more extreme pain, So……"

Mo Lan started to sprint, and under the acceleration of Lei Qie, like a ghostly ghost, with thunder light, he rushed straight to Ma Ningshao's face.

"...Remember to cry louder for me."

"Star Chaser [Mo Lan], since the area you are in has been disconnected from the system, the temporary backup system set up by the Star Chaser has been activated. The following is the specific content of this mission:"

"The only task [hunting]: kill as much as possible the 493 escapees in [Tomorrow's Ark-13 World], as well as those from [Zhufa Aoyuan], [Eternal Burning Combat Realm], [Evolution Battlefield] Foreign aid, every time you complete a kill, you will immediately receive emergency rewards from the backup system to increase the success rate of subsequent battles."

"Emergency advice for ordinary users: this task is extremely difficult, please hide yourself as much as possible, collect information, wait for a turnaround, try to leave this world, and report the local situation to the star chaser."

"Emergency advice to [Star Chaser]: Happy hunting."

Chapter 12 The Guardian and the Alchemy Furnace ([-]K)

To be honest, Mo Lan didn't expect that he would confront a fugitive face-to-face the moment he landed, but it didn't matter, he just needed a target to test the new ability he had acquired since the roll of stars.

Before the voice fell, Mo Lan's tongs with the flashing thunder light had already slammed on Maningshao's metal face, and the violent thunder light cracked on his face, and amidst the roar, it turned into this dark cloud The brightest light source in the sky, after being strengthened by the power of the cancer titled [Cancer], the damage output of Mo Lan's iron pincer Chidori is enough to match the full blow of a melee user. Shao's health bar tremblingly dropped to 42%, already falling into the dangerous line of half health.

At the same time, the purple crab phantom released by Mo Lan during the sprint has also bombarded Maningshao's body. Under the mark of [Crab Deep Enemy Stock], the little brother and the surrounding seven or eight void beasts have leaped tens of meters away from each other, and rushed to Maningshao in an instant!

The little brother and the void beasts shot at the same time and attacked Maningshao from multiple directions, but before the little brother's flame fist touched the opponent, a blue-green pill on Maningshao's body exploded quickly, It seemed that some kind of release effect had been activated, freeing her from the confinement.

At the same time, the fugitive had already raised his arms, and spun around on the spot like a whirlwind. The scales that made up his arms converged into two blades that shone with a cold light, embedded in the The steel-colored pills on several of the scales exploded quickly, wrapping the blades into translucent energy steel blades, and bombarded every attacker at the same time.

"bass!"

The sound of gold and iron colliding sounded like popping beans one after another. Mo Lan, the little brother and the void beast were knocked away by him at the same time. The void beast exploded in mid-air, and the blood volume of the little brother and Mo Lan dropped by one level at the same time. At the end, he retreated more than ten meters away, and just now stabilized his figure with the help of body skills and river crab sprints.

At this moment, Mo Lan had time to observe Maningshao's appearance. As a fan of roguelike games, he immediately recognized that Maningshao's mechanism should be from the card game "Killing the Spire". The first floor BOSS [Guardian], nicknamed [Squat Monster], is a close-up BOSS that is good at switching between offensive and defensive forms. It is a type of offensive and defensive balance.

Although in the original work, the guardian is only one of the bosses in the first level after all, it is not difficult.But this is an endless space. No one knows how far the escapee opposite has strengthened this mechanism. At least she can be seen everywhere, embedded in every corner of her body, and the pills that provide various buffs by exploding are in the original work. something completely absent.
