Chapter 45: The Seven Deadly Sins
"What did you find?" Mai Shutoku was alert.
"I clearly remember that there was the remains of an alchemy puppet lying there just now, but now it has disappeared." Zero pointed to the distance, very close to the entrance to the cabin.
Mai Shutoku and Xi Ziyue looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.
It is very possible that the next-generation dragon king had appeared a long time ago, but he did not launch the most frontal attack. Instead, he also wore dark red armor and blended in with these alchemy puppets.
Logically speaking, these alchemy puppets are programmed to self-destruct after being destroyed, leaving no chance for human beings. This approach is very dragon-like.
But after all, the fight was in full swing just now, with flames and water mist intertwining. If there was any alchemy puppet that didn't explode, it wouldn't be noticed for a while.
That dragon actually disguised itself as the body of an alchemy puppet and sneaked into the cabin quietly when no one was paying attention, right?
"Didn't I say that the dragon clan advocates frontal attack? Why do I feel that our opponent is more like a thief?" Mai Shutoku frowned.
"I don't know. In recent times, the behavior of dragons has indeed changed, becoming more like humans." Zero said.
Xi Ziyue also has a deep understanding of this. During the Malta incident, Xi Jie and Unovich also lurked in the human camp for a long time.
Dragons hidden in human society are far more difficult to deal with than dragons on the frontal battlefield. If such dragons that are good at hiding themselves really appear on a large scale, it will definitely be a doomsday-level disaster.
Doomsday... Thinking of this word, Xi Ziyue suddenly remembered that the prophecy of doomsday has never been far away. Whether it is Lu Mingze, Ange, or others, they all seem to think that this day is certain.
return.
"Are we going to chase him in now?" Xi Ziyue glanced back at the entrance of the cabin.
Under the influence of the profile, she seemed to have seen what happened in that minute.
A collapsed alchemy puppet was lying there, using the cover of the surrounding environment to quietly move his body and enter the interior of the ship... He really looked like a thief.
"I think I can chase him. Since he is so secretive, he must be weak." Mai Shutoku said.
"Already bearing the name of Dragon King, will he still be weak in strength?" Ling asked.
"I don't know, but according to Kassel's long-term research, the Dragon King has always been separated from power, just like Norton masters alchemy and Constantine masters fire. Maybe it is just better at alchemy than at knife-wielding activities.
I'm not good at it." Mai Shutoku said.
Xi Ziyue thought for a while and nodded. The three of them walked into the cabin and chased the next-generation species that had sneaked into the ship.
...
...
Fires were burning everywhere in the port, and several helicopters were cruising in the sky, pouring down red dust, which was special medicine used to extinguish fires.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the refrigerated ship.
Considering that the opponent is a second-generation dragon king of the bronze and fire series, he must be able to melt a hole in it and invade, or escape.
Several sniper rifles were hidden in the dark, with their cold muzzles pointed at the ship. No matter where the Dragon King approached the ship, they would be hit hard by them.
Each sniper rifle is filled with 3 blue breath bullets, which are also very powerful alchemical bullets against next-generation species.
There are also three precious Philosopher's Stone bullets, which are delivered to the three sharpshooters of the Chen family. If they can hit the vital points, they may be able to kill them in one fell swoop.
This network is almost foolproof.
"Can I contact Xi Ziyue and the others?" Chen Guoxun asked.
"There has just been a large-scale battle of words and spirits there. The elemental turbulence is very serious and they cannot be contacted. In addition, they have just entered the hull, and there is even more interference inside." The servant replied.
The information previously shared with them included the direct path to the storage of the Seven Deadly Sins, as well as the authority to open each door.
The three of them can basically be regarded as foreign battlefield mercenaries. They have extremely high freedom at the tactical level, and everyone has to cooperate with them.
"Master, there is a situation inside the refrigerated ship!" the operator reported urgently.
"What happened?" Chen Guoxun's face darkened.
"The mechanisms we have set up in the ship are being cracked one by one. In some places, a sudden surge in temperature has been detected. Maybe the next-generation Dragon King has entered!"
"Let the people who are doing the moving work evacuate!" Chen Guoxun shouted.
...
...
Inside the refrigerated ship, water was dripping from the ceiling, as if there was a light rain inside.
An alchemy puppet also wearing dark red armor was walking in the frozen corridor, heavy footsteps echoing everywhere.
The armor on its body was covered with broken knife marks, and the damage was very serious.
Every alchemy puppet is equipped with a self-destruct system, but this one does not, as if it was a momentary oversight on the part of the designer.
At this moment, what supported the puppet was not gears and furnaces, but a thin boy, who wore it like armor.
Soon, he came to a corridor covered with ice.
Walking in this place is very difficult, especially for pure-blooded dragons.
There are ice cubes everywhere here, with "matrix"-like circuits frozen inside the ice cubes, and "spirits" are everywhere.
No matter how he walks, he can't get out of this maze. Even if he uses the power of burning to penetrate the wall, it will be of no avail. He may even stray into a field of ice and snow.
The power of alchemy stopped him like a tidal wave.
"It's amazing. I didn't expect that humans would one day be able to push alchemy to such a level." He admired sincerely.
If he still carries a few alchemy puppets with him at this time, then things will be much easier to handle, and these mechanisms can be solved with separate cooperation.
But now, it seems that he can only rely on brute force to get through.
He drew his long sword from his armored waist.
A black-gold English broadsword.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth!
He lay back and closed his eyes, as if in meditation, while melted water droplets flowed from the gaps in the cross helmet onto his face.
He began to activate his speech spirit.
Serial number 103, Word Spirit·Bloodline Traction.
Invisible red curtains surrounded him and flew into the void, traveling through the walls and ice into the interior of the ship.
Bloodline Traction is a rather mysterious word spirit, and its effect is also very vague.
It seems to be the ultimate version of the blood-based knot, capable of detecting hybrids in the field, but for pure-blood dragons, it seems to have another purpose.
For example, it is used to wake up the same kind.
The red curtain passed through the labyrinth of ice and reached the deepest part of the icehouse.
A weapon that resembled a Japanese Heian-era Kodachi was frozen in crystal blue black ice. Someone was using a special heating device to defrost it, and a small part of it was already exposed.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Greed.
"Wake up, Greedy, and recall the days when we fought together." He said softly, ethereal and ethereal.
More and more red curtains gathered on the Seven Deadly Sins: Greedy Blade, as if the pouring red rain was being siphoned.
"See my face clearly, they can't seal you!" The boy growled, blood rushed from his chest to his mouth, it was as if he was losing blood all over his body, suffering the side effects of this word spirit.
"With this blood, I can see mountains, rivers, stars and seas, as well as our oath!"
Greedy opened his blood-like eyes.
Under the influence of the blood, it seemed to come to life. The golden pulse was beating on the black-gold blade. People next to it could even hear its breathing... and the huge heartbeat!
The high temperature of thousands of degrees spread around it, as if a large TNT explosive had been detonated in the ice, and all the surrounding staff who had not had time to evacuate were submerged in its flames.
Yan Ling·Jun Yan, the boy is using this knife as a medium to release this Yan Ling remotely!
Violent vibrations came from Xi Ziyue's feet, and she almost lost her balance.
The temperature in the air suddenly increased a lot, and a thick, hot mist surged from the bottom of the spiral staircase, as if the hot spring door had been opened.
"It seems like he got what he wanted to get?" Zero said.
"Not necessarily, but at least he is very close to the goal!" Mai Shutoku quickened her pace.
Deep inside the refrigerated ship, the boy waved his knife, clearing the thick fog in front of him, and the ice collapsed and thawed like a tide.
This ice corridor was finally blown open, but from the outside.
Greed is already close at hand, it is inserted into the knife box not far away, with evaporated water vapor floating on it, like the white smoke after the trigger of a sniper rifle is pulled.
It turned out that he had been spinning in front of his final goal.
"Greed, we meet again. It's been so long, and you're still so weak and like a girl." His words conveyed the tone of meeting an old friend again.
He walked towards the knife and stretched out his hand far away, as if the knife was lying under a blooming tree waiting for him.
A cold steel-blue light flashed over him.
A dazzling sword light fell from the sky! It fell on his wrist! The sparks illuminated Xi Ziyue's beautiful profile, and the golden flames in her eyes were as peaceful as ever.
Under the cover of Ming Zhao, Mai Shutoku also approached from behind. A large cross-shaped wound opened on his back. The dark red armor flew into small fragments and almost cut her.
Forehead.
Xi Ziyue landed smoothly, somersaulted on the ground, and opened a long safe distance.
It was quite thrilling. I didn't expect that such a sudden attack would actually succeed. A faint red mark remained on her blade, like a light kiss of a girl's lipstick, but in fact it was dragon's blood.
His wrists are covered with scales, which are the strongest thing about dragons. For them, armor and shields are just tricks.
"As in the rumors, the scales of dragons of the bronze and fire series are not very hard." Mai Shutoku leaned out from the dark ink, like a beauty stepping out of an ukiyo-e.
She noticed that the blood marks on the two knives were thicker. She must have scored high marks on the two knives just now.
Indeed, as she said, the defense of the bronze and fire series has always been very low. If it were the scales of the earth and mountain king series, Xi Ziyue's sword might have broken on the spot.
Zero emerged from the side quietly, holding the Greedy that she had just pulled out of the knife case in her hand. After all, she was shrewd and grabbed the most important thing right away.
"Please give me that weapon. In return, I can let you live longer." He stretched out his five fingers, and the sharp claws were eye-catching.
"Is this a request? It turns out that dragons can also make requests to people, or do you mean that you can't kill the three of us if you can't get greedy?" Mai Shutoku pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows.
"When I say live longer, I mean about a few months, or half a year, or a year... By then, there will be a greater existence than me to destroy you, along with other human beings." He
He looked straight at the three people in front of him without any fear.
"Then I have to ask, who will take on the role of destroying the world? The Black King? Or another Dragon King?" Mai Shutoku asked.
"You will know when the time comes. No one can escape fate, not even me." There was a hint of melancholy in his voice, as if he was standing in front of an oil painting depicting a destroyed world, full of powerlessness and emptiness.
This is the second time Xi Ziyue has faced the Dragon King, a creature that is born noble.
His character seems to be very different from Xi Jie, indifferent and sad, but his majesty is still strong, as if a king is paying homage in front of the imperial mausoleum.
Damn it, it seems that every powerful and stylish person likes to predict the future. It is clear that that thing is still uncertain, but in their eyes it seems to have become an iron-clad fact.
Since you are so certain that the end will come, why do you still resist?
Do you want to change your destiny?
Or are you just holding on to a bit of luck and thinking it won't come?
Xi Ziyue couldn't help but think wildly. Recently, she had encountered this kind of weird thing many times. She always felt that there was a huge astrolabe spinning at the highest point in the sky. Everyone was looking up to it, everyone was waiting for it, everyone
Everybody is... afraid of it.
Under the silent pressure, the three of them all stepped back in unison, causing slight ripples to appear on the water.
The temperature here is getting higher and higher. Xi Ziyue's ankles are submerged in hot spring-like boiling water. It is hard to imagine that not long ago, this place was covered by solid ice.
"It seems that the negotiation has broken down." The Dragon King regretted.
"From the very beginning, we lacked a basis for negotiation." Mai Shutoku frowned, "There is no trust between humans and dragons."
When the Dragon King heard these words, he seemed to feel something: "Yes, humans are not worthy of trust."
When the last syllable fell to the ground, the water surface began to boil. The Dragon King raised his head, and a dazzling golden color burst out of the cross helmet.
"Kill him!" Mai Shutoku yelled.
Mingzhao's black shadow enveloped everyone, and the three of them disappeared at the same time, attacking in the shadows! The offensive of the five knives was like an airtight net surrounding the Dragon King!
Five consecutive sounds of piercing the armor were heard, and each slash hit it accurately, piercing through his scales and body, and boiling dragon blood spurted out.
The three of them were stunned. They didn't expect such a simple and crude success. This person really didn't even try to hide?
He reached out decisively and grabbed Zero's wrist!
"Thank you, please hand me the knife." His cold-blooded and angry voice came from the cross helmet.
The sound of Yan Ling chanting sounded like a huge golden light that separated the heaven and the earth. Everyone couldn't believe what appeared above his head.
Chapter completed!
