Titus stood on the south side, standing in the direction where Shangluo entered. This is the "right road", and if nothing else happens, they will come out from here.
But now he is not worried about whether the mission can be completed, but about the sacred forest itself. For the first time, he felt that inviting Qi practitioners from Cathay to carry out tasks seemed to be a questionable matter.
Because just now, he saw with his own eyes an oak tree that was at least a hundred years old and flew up, leaving only half of its trunk. The birds, wild boars, and deer in the forest were all running out desperately, as if they had suffered some natural disaster.
Mayor Kelso was also a little flustered, which was different from what he expected. He also saw a group of students in class during the day, and he thought they would run to one task point after another like before, interact with the spirits one by one, and then complete all the side tasks.
With a roar, another tree flew into the sky, this time it was an oak tree.
"Mr. Titus, isn't that a little bit..."
Before he finished speaking, an air-explosion grenade exploded into an umbrella shape in the distant sky.
"That's... wait, that's that thing." He took out his binoculars and began to count secretly.
3, 2, 1. Another air-explosion grenade exploded on the spot, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth, and ninth rounds. Nine consecutive grenades exploded at almost the same coordinates, but The heights are stacked one after the other. Nine layers of gunpowder clouds exploded into a nine-layer pagoda, and the kill zone below had been turned into white ground.
"It's indeed that one, it's cinnabar."
"What cinnabar?" Mayor Kelso has never heard of this name.
"A red aura explosive called 'cinnabar' can adjust the speed of gas expansion while keeping the total energy unchanged. It can be achieved with slow fire, strong fire or any other working conditions. To them, it is like adjusting a gas stove. Just as simple. He just fired 9 different ballistics, and then adjusted the speed to make the 9 shells hit the same impact point at the same time."
"Can you use it?"
"The principle is unknown to us. We can't understand it at all. Only Qi Practitioners can use it. And before we even understood the study of cinnabar, they just demonstrated a technology called Jusu at the technology synchronization meeting in Alexandria some time ago. liquid cinnabar. That is even more powerful. You don’t even need to install the ammunition in the cartridge case in advance. You only need to add a medicine chamber. In this way, you only need to carry the warhead in the magazine, and the weight of the cartridge case remains. The amount of ammunition that can be carried is several times more. But when they demonstrated it, the biggest problem was that the deflagration guns were too big, as big as old-fashioned lever rifles."
"I think I've seen it before? In the box?"
"Yes, the student named Wen Yuan brought a stick. He seemed to have brought a small car. This time, besides the armor, his luggage was the largest. If I remember correctly, he seemed to have brought a small car with him. Many rockets and two different rocket launchers"
While they were talking, they saw a rocket flying into the sky from the forest and exploding in the sky. It seemed that it had missed the target during the fight.
"So...even though they are about the same age as Karin, in fact they have been training for more than 10 years."
"Sure enough, these are professionals."
"Tsk, it seems like I'm not that professional myself."
"Mr. Titus, I have a request that I didn't want to say until I was really sure that this mission would be successful. But now"
"I know what you want to say. I want to say that if you have to sacrifice one to go in, you want both Karins to come back and put yourself in, right?"
"Is this possible? I still want both of my daughters back."
"From the first day, I knew you had this idea. Karin and you are really similar. It seems that genes do not determine everything, acquired memes are also important. You know, I have seen many imitations. , they also have many tragedies and comedies. But Karin's will is the strongest among all the 'substitutes' I have ever seen. She is far stronger than you think, so don't worry too much, leave everything to the professionals. As long as he is crowned as the forest king, there is nothing that the king cannot do."
However, he left the last part unsaid: the imitation was a complete copy of Karin herself. In other words, the strength of their wills is similar. If Karin was born in Delphi, then she would have been selected early for training at the Oracle, and she would not have been kidnapped by the elves. To a certain extent, the strength of an elf is entirely related to its "willpower". The stronger the substitute, the more powerful the elf Karin transforms into. He only hopes...
There was another bang, and a thicker tree in the western half of the forest was blasted into the sky. The upper part of the tree was covered with cut marks as smooth as a mirror, while the lower part was opened like a train running over it.
Shangluo also saw it, Apollonia and Karin both looked there.
"ah"
Shangluo was a little panicked. With that level of impact, this armor obviously couldn't stop it.
"Afraid. Afraid." Apollonia muttered.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that you will be beaten to death. Oh, oh, oh, if you are beaten to death, how will I live? Promise me not to die, okay?"
This is the truth. If Shangluo is beaten to death now, Apollonia will have to go back to the stage of calling the sky and the earth to be unresponsive. She didn't even know where to go to get gas.
"Oh, by the way, I'm out of gas. Give me another bottle."
"Oh, trouble." He got off the bicycle, took out the gas bottle, and asked Apollonia to squat down and expose the back of her neck.
The cylinder still has plenty of storage and can be used for a long time.
"By the way, Karin, how long does it take to arrive? Although I only have one mission, they have started work over there, so I have to hurry up."
"It's not far, it's right in front of the lake."
"Then I'll get off the car and leave. Let's move quickly." Just as he was halfway through, Apollonia suddenly stood up:
"Be careful, there is something in the woods ahead! It's not a living thing, it has no heat!" She reached to the back of her neck to close the lid of the air chamber, holding her spear horizontally in a gesture of parry.
Shangluo was not idle either. He threw out the lightsaber and poured the other half of the bottle of Qihai onto the blade.
A white deer appeared in front of him. It is so holy that there is no trace of color. The two horns that extend to the left and right seem to hold up the night sky, and the flowing stars are shining in the eyes.
"That's it! There's no temperature, but it's moving!"
"This is..." Karin suddenly parked the car next to her, "Don't do anything, this is Mr. Deer!"
"Mr. Lu?" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "This Mr. Lu is..."
"It's Mr. Fox's landlord. Mr. Fox collects drachmas to pay his rent."
"ha?"
"In short, that's what Mr. Fox said. Mr. Deer never speaks. But he will listen to me quietly."
"This is not Mr. Deer." Apollonia observed, "This is a doe. If you want to call her, you should call her Ms. Deer. I know the identity of this person. This is Diana's doe. No wonder it is the landlord. She is indeed the manager of this forest. It seems to be signaling that there is danger ahead and does not want us to go any further. How about Karin, go and meet her? By the way, who is the elf in front of us? "
