Fants is afraid of heights.
As a tall man with a height of 2.19 meters, Fanters' height can be said to be arrogant among the others. But such a mighty man has a funny weakness.
Fear of heights.
However, this fear of heights must be put in quotation marks. Because Fantes was afraid of heights not because of illness, but because he accidentally bumped into his head when he and his friends were playing "Barrel Rolling: a family-friendly parent-child game of getting into a barrel and rolling down from a thousand-meter cliff." After falling into the butt of a swift ice dragon, he developed an inexplicable fear of heights.
In fact, this is not insurmountable. After the psychological shadow occurred, Fantes suppressed his fear and played the game several times, but because he subconsciously wanted to slow down the game every time, he was ridiculed by his friends and chose to give up. Therefore, Fantes believed that as long as he worked hard and relied on his strong willpower, he could definitely...
That's okay.
Standing at the dividing line of the 100th floor, Fantes kept tapping his teeth. A sense of emptiness kept attacking him, and his whole body felt a little weak. His fear of heights was deeply rooted in his bones. Even when he was jumping between buildings just now, he would always choose the rooftop of a short building. And now, he was about five hundred meters high in the sky. Even if he couldn't see outside, he could still feel this fear.
Don't worry, you shouldn't be reckless.
The reckless man from the North felt regret for his recklessness for the first time.

Tarik West.
Two hours ago.
"Will there be more Crystal Creatures coming to support?"
During the interval between the first round of shelling the ranch, Arthur looked at Zhou Li sitting on the stone with a surprised look on his face, and asked in confusion: "How did you know?"
"It doesn't look like Jinggui is guarding this place."
Zhou Li pointed at the motionless Jinggui at the foot of the mountain, and said thoughtfully: "Their reaction is not like protection, but more like care. If they are really protecting something precious, according to Jinggui's thinking, they We will use human sea tactics to fill this place instead of this point-like dispersed defense."
"Guarding means that there are things in the pasture that they are afraid of or jealous of, so they don't dare to let too many crystal monsters enter here. And when I was observing here just now, I found that two crystal monsters suddenly left in the south direction. , and then the other two Crystal Creatures filled his vacancy."
"Can't they stay here longer?"
Arthur quickly followed Zhou Li's train of thought, "Is it easy for things in the ranch to affect these monsters?"
"And it's definitely not going to be a good influence."
Zhou Li gently pressed his knuckles, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "It is very possible that the things hidden in the ranch are targeted at Jinggui. This thing is something that Jinggui himself cannot touch, so they did not choose to move to a newer place. A place that is good for defense.”
"Once we break through here, I estimate that the Crystal Creatures from other places will rush to support us as soon as possible. Moreover, the number will definitely not be small."
"If that's the case, we'll be in big trouble."
Arthur frowned and said treacherously: "It's okay to say that the Crystal Creatures are dispersed, but once they gather they are difficult to eliminate. And if the number is as huge as you said, it will be difficult to compete with our manpower." ….
"Yes I know."
Zhou Li stood up, stretched out his hand, and pressed down, signaling for the second round of artillery to roar. At the same time, he looked at the gunfire-filled pasture, narrowed his eyes, and said softly: "So, I have to come up with a good idea."
"idea?"
Dutch, who was sharpening a lever rifle beside him, raised his head reflexively and said excitedly: "Do you need my ideas?"
John on the other side tugged at the corner of his mouth, threw away the stone in his hand, covered Dutch's mouth with a pedal and dragged him aside.
Five minutes later, when the huge titanium alloy door appeared in front of everyone, Zhou Li heard Alyosha's excited words.
found it.
Yes, titanium alloy is the raw material used to make a helper that can be compared to a God-given blow.
Since there is no metal in this world that can accommodate a God-given blow, then let's trap the power in a metal that cannot even penetrate a God-given blow.
Of course, being able to release a divine blow cannot be solved simply by using titanium alloy. Although he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind and used many models for simulation, Alyosha still encountered a problem when it came to actual practice.
How to mobilize energy.
The energy required for a god-given blow can be realized through the magic energy wheel mechanism inside the little helper. This kind of magic energy wheel machine, the only one in the world, can theoretically convert any energy, so it can be relied on quantity. win. But the question is, when this energy is trapped in the titanium alloy gun body, how to push it?
Generally, the user injects professional energy into a pistol, and then triggers the bullets to burst out. Just like a slingshot and a stone, the stone is the energy of the pistol itself, and the energy of the professional is the rubber band.
But the biggest problem now is that we have found the tens of millions of tons of boulders and the slingshot that can withstand the weight. Where are the rubber bands?
Where can I find a rubber band that can shoot out tens of millions of tons of boulders?
This is a difficult point, and one that is easily overlooked. Although Zhou Li and the others are brilliant or demigods, their power can only be used to condense boulders, but cannot become rubber bands that can push boulders in a short time. The radiant crystal might work, but another somewhat embarrassing problem arises.
The little helper is too small to fit the crystal in.
Just when Alyosha was confused, Zhou Li also got the truth about the dusty pioneers. After leaving the tomb and learning about Alyosha's troubles, Zhou Li thought of something.
Black powder.
Yes, black powder. Like titanium, black powder is not of this world, it is an earthly substance. This is like a BUG. The insolubility of civilization will cause any power in this world to escape from the material on the earth, whether it is human body or metal, black powder, the same reason.
At this time, someone needs to appear.
"I?"
The branch Arthur was digging into his teeth was stuck in it. He pointed at himself blankly and asked blankly: "Should I go find black powder?"
"Do you want to know your family's story?"
Zhou Li looked at Arthur and Alyosha and asked in a deep voice: "About Dead Eye, about...the Morgan family."
"think!"
After hearing this question, Alyosha answered the question without hesitation. In other words, she traveled thousands of miles and risked her life to come here just to explore the secret behind her last name. ….
Arthur on the side was a little hesitant. For him, Morgan was really just a last name. Without the warmth of home or the help of relatives, Arthur didn't care about his last name. Even when he looked at Alyosha, he only had a slight throbbing in his blood, and there was no unnecessary emotion.
"Arthur, no matter what, your last name is your own."
At this time, Dutch, who was sitting on a stone with his legs crossed, stood up straight, walked to Arthur, patted his shoulder, and said to him: "Listen, we will all be with you."
John also stopped wiping the gun in his hand. The taciturn man didn't say anything. He just put the gun on his back and stood upright behind Arthur.
call.
Arthur breathed a long sigh of relief, and all the gloominess in his heart was gone. For him, his real family is the Vanderlyn Gang and the wild but free West. He looked at Zhou Li again, with no fear of the truth in his eyes.
"I also want to know."
"good."
Zhou Li glanced at Arthur, nodded, and slowly began to tell a story about Morgan's past.
Azka Morgan.
During the time of the Tsarist Empire, although the western desert was free of plague and crystal treachery, it had never been touched by the empire due to its special geographical location and climate problems. Therefore, during the Tsarist Empire, the west had always been a lawless land. There were ores, resources and mountains here, but there was no existence called a country.
like twilight
Like a forest.
The Tsarist Empire also thought about governing this land at the beginning and taking this vast land as its own. But after doing some calculations, they found that if they built and developed this land, they would pay huge costs. At this time, there were already many towns in the western region that were apparently free towns, but secretly paid taxes to the tsarist empire.
And the most important thing is that most of the nobles of the Tsarist Empire at that time needed a lawless place to store their extra money and gray income, or to keep things that could not be kept in the city. Therefore, strange flowers bloomed in the West at that time between civilization and barbarism.
Azka Morgan is the weirdest one.
Alyosha once said that her great-great-grandfather was once a wanted criminal with a high reward from the Tsarist Empire. He was the kind of person who would bring happiness to thousands of families if he was caught. But what makes Azka different from other outlaws is that he can reach a consensus with Zhou Li, who is a hundred years in the future.
You can't steal money from poor people.
In the Wild West, where people took pleasure in bullying the weak and robbing wealth, Azka was fully aware of the market rules, accurately analyzed the current industry chain, avoided branch projects that had become sunset industries, opened up new blue oceans, and carried out product iterations and upgrades.
In short, every time he robbed, he only robbed the caravans of wealthy people and the carriages and trains of banks. He disdained the poor.
This is not because Azkado is noble, he simply looks down on the poor and some crooked mediocrity. But later during a train robbery, he met Tariq, the man who changed his life.
In fact, the first meeting between the two did not have revolutionary connotations. However, Tariq, who had already come into contact with the ranch and gained some knowledge from the pioneers, taught Azka some magical things. ….
For example, mobilize the power of the masses and drown the enemy in the ocean of masses.
After discussing some knowledge with Tariq, Azka deeply realized how terrifying the power of the people is to guerrillas like himself. Therefore, after letting Tarik go, Azka began to learn how to make friends more and make enemies less.
After all, the poor are the most numerous in the West.
Later, after the uprising, Tarik was once surrounded and suppressed in a dangerous zone. Even with the blessing of the radiant crystal, Tarik retreated steadily for a period of time and retreated to the wild land of the west. The imperial authorities at that time unanimously believed that the people in the west of Tariq were alive thanks to their noble grandfathers, and it was easy to capture Tariq.
Then, Tariq successfully took over a group of people's troops from Azka. Within a few days, several of the richest "free towns" in the west were captured by Tariq, but the noble bureaucrats did not have time to withdraw. All the smuggled goods and wealth were left behind.
It can be said that Tarik was originally unable to fight in a city like Mosk. After being expelled into the wilderness, he suddenly took over the western part of Azka that had been run into a monolith for several years, and directly counterattacked the city and wiped out the tsarist emperor.
According to common sense, Azka's contribution to the founding of Tariq's country can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Without Azka, it may be difficult for Tariq to overthrow the regime of the Tsarist Empire. However, after Tariq established the country, the name Azka Morgan quietly disappeared, as if this person did not exist in this world at all.
Only Zhou Li knew what happened.
The radiant crystal and the knowledge about guerrilla warfare were all obtained by Taric from around the graves of the pioneers. At that time, this place was just a wasteland. Tarik, who followed the energy traces to find this place, had no idea what was buried underground. But I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or whether it was expected. In that magnificent collective demise, there were some things left on this land that the pioneers did not notice.
Such as knowledge, such as a bag of black powder, such as their remains fused with the radiant crystal, such as...
Bloodline.
Yes, bloodline. There is an artificial heart, forgotten in a land not called Tarik a thousand years ago. This forgotten heart was placed in a petri dish and relied on absorbing external energy to survive. Finally, by chance, this heart
Falling into a baby's body.
Finally, the baby got a name - Azka Morgan.
This is why the Morgan family can use the "Eye of Death" that slows down time and sees through the enemy's weaknesses. Because for the pioneers who have become advanced civilizations, their eyes have long had the function of slowing down the flow and detecting. This is the product of genetic modification. But in fact, the essential ability of these eyes is not just that.
Dead Eye's most important ability is searching.
Search for what remains of the pioneers.
"Back then, Tariq came here with your great-grandfather and obtained knowledge and materials that did not belong to this world. However, the gods discovered it."
Taking out the pistol fired with black powder, Zhou Li looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Your great-grandfather relied on the eye of death to detect the sight of the gods. When the gods were completely aware of the truth, Azka Choose to attack Tariq and put Tariq into a state of suspended animation to avoid the detection of the gods."
"And he himself chose death. He used the black gunpowder he found to crush his soul and body in order to prevent the gods from getting the truth."
