It was not ordinary pure black, but an existence close to nothingness.
Even in the wilderness without any artificial light sources or even animal activities, there will still be a dreamlike veil as thin as a veil under the bright moonlight. The remaining subtle light will make people feel that they are in a human being. The world of existence.
The dark cave formed by the earthquake in front of Luo Nie and Marco was more like a teleportation point that suddenly appeared. It appeared here suddenly without warning, as if it connected the connection described by astronomers in the Third Era. space beyond the observable universe.
That is the "nothingness" mentioned in Eastern culture, especially the Taoist religion of the Fire Empire. It is distant and unimaginable, and the emptiness is calm and calm.
This breathtaking scene caused Luonie and Marco to have an innate curiosity as human beings. The inexplicable extraordinary power was guiding their thinking, thereby leveraging their behavior, making them The two wanted to jump into the hole and plunge into the near-eternal embrace of darkness.
Until, the gasping sound belonging to the beast became thicker and gradually turned into a whimper. Then, after the darkness gradually lost its sense of mystery and emptiness, it turned into a thick, unwilling and painful cry.
"Is he a "different species of Heartless"? "Marco wondered. Even the "gold digger" who was in the wilderness of the extremely cold zone and experienced many battles had never heard such a strange sound.
"I can't see it." Luo Nie shook his head and denied, then cautiously moved towards the hole, leaned down, and looked inside at the edge, "Marco, do you know the history of this abandoned city? I seem to feel some strange atmosphere that does not belong to this era. There is machinery...and...a stronger smell of "dragon". "
"Are you talking about... a dragon? That's impossible, that's ridiculous! Wasn't that an orc who walked out of the prison of the old empire some time ago? Everyone in the Federation said that the reappearance of the dragon clan was a rumor." Marco said firmly. retorted.
Even though he didn't mean to believe it at all, when he turned back to pick up the old-fashioned "Ice Tiger" rifle that he had always used, and approached the cave, his legs were still shaking uncontrollably, and he didn't take more than two steps. He fell to the ground, no different from Luo Nie's posture of possessing and observing.
"That is the "taste" that is unique to the dragon clan, and I can sense it through the ability that the "Lord of Machinery" gave me through "reason" a long time ago. Marco, appearances can always be deceiving, taste can always confuse people, and the heart can sometimes hide people, but "sorrow" is honest. Luo Nie lowered his voice and explained.
"Boy." Marco supported the ground with his right hand. After standing up tremblingly, he fell to the ground due to a sudden and inexplicable lack of physical strength. Even so, he still used his poor knowledge to retort:
"I don't care if you are a lost person or a person with powers, what is your past, and what is your identity. Since you saved me, I have to remind you: It is dangerous to think that the Dragon Clan still exists. The Dragon Clan has been around for thousands of years. It was wiped out by the five warriors years ago.
"Any strange events related to dragons in the future will be caused by someone using their banner to trick the world. The dragons you feel are either huge alien creatures or even monsters. Or someone is disrupting our spirit and thinking."
"Sad doesn't lie, Marco. Luo said indifferently, and slowly stood up, took out the "Crazy Bear" pistol from his waist, loaded the bullet, and stared at the sapphire-like eyes that gradually emitted faint light, which echoed with the sound of an ethereal beast. Cave.
"I don't know what kind of cult you believe in. The bishop and the orthodox bishop certainly don't teach these things. The "Order Society" and the "Chaos Group" have their own predecessors as gods. My guess is that maybe you are influenced by the "Enlightenment Sect" or their ally "Corona Association". Marco said in a stern warning tone:
"Most of the organizations that can survive in the ice sheet do not have the moral and contractual concepts that the Federation believes in. They kill without blinking an eye, especially the Lost ones, who are more evil than Satan. If I catch them, I will definitely use cannons. It was a blast for several days. Listen, kid, the "Chaos Group", "Enlightenment Cult" and "Corona Association" are the mortal enemies of our "Wild Tourist Group", and they are also the guys most hated by the "Gold Diggers".
"If unfortunately I were caught by them in the ice wilderness,
When surrounded and about to be arrested, we usually activate the "termination core" directly. Instead of suffering humiliating torture and death, it is better to leave behind the last dignity of human beings. "
"Sad doesn't lie, Marco. "Luo Nie's eyes were still staring at the dark hole that had receded a little, repeating the point he just made.
"I don't understand what "Shang" is, but I have to tell you that it's best not to have contact with them, not even to cooperate. They are greedy, arrogant, cruel, violent, conscienceless, and crazy. Beast with a human face. "Marco saw that Luo Nie didn't seem to listen, so he spoke a little faster:
"After being captured, our brothers were almost all subjected to inhuman torture. They were usually dripped with the blood of the lost and mutated into "careless people." Then the body will be opened and the non-mechanical parts will be removed. Did you know that it will also be transformed with monsters to turn the person into an "unintentional bomb"? The Federal Council seems to call them... called..., yes, "unintentional people who explode their bodies."
"Even those who survive by chance and mutate into the Lost can only be the most humble among them, who are used and then abandoned. The leaders among them, such as those who used to be in the "Order Society", are now "Yan Xi" who acts as a thug in the "Comprehension Sect", or "Xizhi" and "Songwu" who just escaped from the "Corona Association" after being injured, are also the ones who talk about "Creator", "Hongdang", and " "Dragon", it is estimated that the brain has been damaged for a long time, and the body is supported by the "virus". "
"But just thirty years ago." Luo Nie turned his head almost mechanically, staring at Marco with brighter and hair-raising eyes and said:
"I have seen a dragon. Just like in the legends and paintings, even if it was only for a moment. And, Marco, I don't mind telling you my purpose. I'm here to find someone. My friend is here. The deepest, coldest and most mysterious place in the wasteland.
[In view of the general environment,
"He was called an "evil god" by the "Order Society" and a "dragon-related person" by the Federal Council. However, the false god once reminded me that he and I would have an "unforgettable fateful entanglement." When the ice and snow of Rused begin to melt, the wheel of fortune will turn." Therefore, I believe in dragons. In a sense, my journey is destined to be inseparable from dragons. "
Luo Nie said, reciting subtle incantations for spirit formation.
In a few seconds, a subtle light green magic power covered his body, forming a flickering layer of something similar to a protective shell of plant-like monsters.
Pulling Marco, who had just stood up, back a few steps, Luo Nie further lowered his voice and warned in an urgent tone:
"Back to the question just now, Marco, do you know the history of this abandoned city? I feel that the power of "machines" and "dragons" is getting stronger, and these flavors are intertwined with "sadness". It was as if the pressure caused by the flames in the enclosed space reached its limit and almost erupted. "
"This is considered the "Arctic Special Zone South-1" divided by the old empire, and was later changed to S Zone. Marco replied:
"It used to be an important industrial area in the old empire. High-energy-consuming, high-pollution factories were all opened here. This city used to be related to resources, maybe some kind of ore. You won't know the details until my team members arrive. I had already released the flare before I came in, and they will be here soon."
"Then I have to pay attention." Luo Nie said worriedly:
"If this had been an industrial town, there might have been people who believed in the "Lord of Machines." I can't go against the "reasons" established by her old man. If the war situation is urgent, I may not be able to use some of my powers. However, I suggest solving the immediate difficulties first! "
Luo Nie's last sentence was extremely urgent, almost half-shouted.
Indeed, he sensed "machines" and "dragons", and naturally he also sensed danger.
Before the echo of his words completely dissipated in the abandoned theater hall, a huge pure steel dragon tail emerged from the cave and hit Luonie precisely where he was standing.
For experienced wilderness survivors and skilled manipulators of magic power, they have very powerful basic survival reflexes.
Stress and agility.
Luo Nie dodged the attack with just a gentle somersault and landed accurately on a nearly square broken stone. Although Marco was a little embarrassed, he rolled on the ground and escaped among the dust. Danger.
"He's coming out." Luo Nie shouted:
"Perhaps we woke him up, or maybe he resonated with some kind of power. Marco, I feel that the "sorrow" in his body is not particularly strong. As long as we can use the power of "Mechanical Spirit", we can defeat him. he. "
"Is this... such a big beast? Can one tail be so huge? Boy, there is no shame in running away. Living in the ice field is more important than anything else." Marco said from a realistic point of view.
"It has awakened, and its power has begun to overflow. Do you think we can still escape?" Luo Nie said, pointing his pistol at the gap where the mural remained at the top of the hall.
Marco looked up, and at some point, the bright, warm, slightly sunny light of the afternoon turned into a terrifying red light.
He looked out from the broken door of the theater again. The entire abandoned city seemed to be completely covered by an invisible red curtain, almost isolated from the world.
But what was even more strange was that when he realized that he was bound by some kind of restriction and had no possibility of escape and had to fight, the red light seemed to be alive and quickly spread into the hall of the abandoned theater. Everything in front of him was gradually covered with a bloody mist!
