The Sword of Galaxy

Chapter 78

Views:

The warship landed slowly on the dark gray plain of Youkong Star, and splashed dust and sand on the endless desert.

A moment later, the hatch slowly opened, and Celia and Heinrich both wrapped their cloaks, equipped with anti-gravity devices around their waists, and walked off the bridge side by side.

The atmosphere of Youkong Star is extremely thick, there is no obvious sunlight all year round, and the ground is humid and cold. Celia was blown by the bone-piercing cold wind, and the passion that was about to move deep in her body receded a little, and she shivered involuntarily.

Although the cloak of sand bat skin was heavy, Heinrich still noticed it keenly, and immediately asked in a low voice, "How are you?"

"… nothing."

"An extra dress?"

Celia hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand, and walked down the wet sand from the bridge first.

Heinrich had only been to Nether Sky once before, and that was when he fought with Celia many years ago. But over the years, he took out the secretly stored image in the projector and replayed it hundreds of times. In just ten minutes, all the details went deep into his bones, so he immediately found that the surrounding situation matched his memory. No, something seems wrong.

— No electromagnetic wind.

The space stars exist in the form of electromagnetic waves, and water vapor and electromagnetic wind are the signs of their activities, filling every inch of the entire planet. However, there are only cold winds and sand dust whizzing by, and none of the hordes of space stars in the memory are seen.

Celia was walking in front of him. For some reason, she suddenly felt something, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...you know what I'm thinking?" Heinrich was taken aback.

Celia was inexplicable: "What are you thinking?"

Heinrich: "…"

Now is not the time to argue, so Heinrich temporarily suppressed his doubts, and briefly talked about the visions around him and his own doubts. Instead, he omitted the part where the video was secretly taken hundreds of years ago, and only said that he passed the Nether Sky Star during his previous inspections, and felt that it was a bit inconsistent with the current situation.

Celia didn't have any theory, just nodded: "It's not quite right, after all..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, and looked straight at a certain direction behind Heinrich.

"... What's going on?" Heinrich turned his head, but there was nothing in the thick fog behind him. When he turned around again, he saw Celia's face was extremely solemn, and he suddenly reached out and gently pulled his hand: "Come to my side."

Heinrich fought the world from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. What he is most familiar with in his life is not the palace but the battlefield. Seeing Celia's expression, he knew that there was something strange behind him, but he didn't make any changes. He just followed him for half a meal. Along the way, he saw Celia checking the soles of his feet from time to time, as if he was picking up the dryness on purpose. ground walk.

After a while, they really walked out of the wet sand, and their feet gradually turned into a hard dirt road. Celia let go of his hand, and Heinrich immediately clenched it back: "What happened just now?"

"..." Celia shook her head and said without breaking free, "It's nothing, it seems that a sand dune moved, maybe I misread it."

——The words were very gentle, but his slightly tensed cheek muscles showed something unusual.

He is a person who has lived in the desert, and he is very familiar with all kinds of unpredictable crises in this desert. There are only two possibilities for the sand dunes to move. One is that there is quicksand behind him. Although dangerous, it does not pose any threat to a strong man like Heinrich; the other is that something is moving under the dunes, which is really fatal.

You never know what is lurking under your feet, it may be fire slurry, it may be mud, or it may be a huge underground creature. There is no pure desert planet in the empire's territory, and Heinrich didn't know much about it. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Could it be a sand bat?"

Unexpectedly, Celia shook her head resolutely, "Impossible, sand bats can only float to the surface under hot sand over 40 degrees Celsius. Besides, although sand bats are large, their underground mobility is limited, and they cannot move such a large sand dune. "

As soon as these words came out, Heinrich changed his color slightly.

Sand bats can move in the center of the desert, with a wingspan of more than 50 meters and a weight of tens of tons. They are recognized as the number one killer of deserts. However, if even sand bats can't move the "so big" sand dunes, then what kind of weird thing should it be underground just now

It was also because of the profound encounter on Shurong Planet that Heinrich instantly remembered the huge snake in the sky, and his expression was not very good: "Will it be—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and instantly pushed Celia away!

— Whoosh!

Heinrich only felt a chill in his arm, as if a sharp blade had been cut through his muscles, and then both of them fell to the ground; he protected Celia behind him, and just stood up to fight back, when suddenly his eyes went black !

In an instant, he didn't have time to react, and he fell down as soon as his legs gave way, his knees thumped directly on the hard ground!

"Heinrich!" Celia supported him, grabbed his arm, and looked at the wound—the thick cloak was cut with a large gap, and there was a three-to-four-inch slant in the upper arm muscles. The incision was not smooth, and the turned flesh and blood suddenly turned purple and black!

poisonous!

Celia's pupils constricted, and she roared angrily, "Griffin!"

The griffin's earbuds blazed brightly, and amidst the roar, it instantly turned into a saber, was caught by Celia in the air, and then slashed with a backhand!

Immediately afterwards, there was only a pop, and the blade cut a living creature that was flying behind Celia's ear into two halves!

With a hissing sound, the eardrums were broken, and two pieces fell out in the burst of black blood. Celia took a closer look, and her complexion changed immediately: I saw the thin black strips twisting like fingers in the pool of blood. If it wasn't two snakes, what was it? !

"Hurry... let's go..." Heinrich's voice changed because of the pain: "This is wrong, go back to the battle, go to the battleship..."

Without him having to say it a second time, a smoky smell suddenly filled the air. There seemed to be an opening in the sand in the distance, and a large pile of moving black stripes gushed out like a fountain, rushing towards the two of them!

They were all black snakes!

The griffin panicked: "Go! They can fly!"

The griffin bounced up and turned into an airship in an instant, but at this moment, the surrounding sand suddenly rolled up automatically, and surrounded it in a circular shape like a huge wave on the sea surface, and the hissing sound was overwhelming. There are tens of thousands of black snakes!

"Damn—" Heinrich cursed, and was pushed into the cockpit of the airship by Celia, and then he himself sat in. At this time, the black snake closest to them had already swooped in, and at the moment it hit them like lightning, the door of the griffin's cabin slammed shut, squeezing the whole black snake in an instant. It became a bloody mess!

Celia yelled: "Back to the battleship!"

"Wait! We're surrounded!"

The airship soared into the sky, but the tide of snakes in all directions also rose accordingly, hitting the head like layers of waves. In desperation, the Griffin suddenly pushed the electromagnetic gun out from the front of the airship, and the cannon blasted a gap in the snake tide. Countless little snakes turned into flames amidst the ear-piercing screams, and the Griffin rushed out in the black blood!

Looking down from mid-air, the land as far as the eye can see has turned into a sea of black snakes. They surged and galloped on the ground, continuously gathering into an overwhelming mass, almost throwing the airship down from mid-air a few times.

"What the hell is going on..." Heinrich gasped and leaned against Celia's arms, feeling his body hot and cold. Like falling into an ice cave. Celia hugged him tightly, bent down and quickly found the medical kit from under the operating table, pulled out the leather rope and tied it tightly to Heinrich's upper arm, and quickly prepared a universal antidote and injected it into it.

"Isn't the serpent of the sky harmless..." Heinrich asked feebly.

Celia's face sank like water: "No, it's highly poisonous."

He wanted to use a surgical straw to extract the venom from the wound site, but it took about thirty seconds to inflate the straw. At this time, every second seemed extraordinarily long, Celia stared closely at the constantly flashing red light on the wall of the straw, gritted her teeth suddenly, leaned over and sucked hard on Heinrich's hideous wound!

Heinrich almost jumped up in a daze: "What are you doing!"

Celia ignored him, raised her head and spat out the purple-black poisonous blood, then leaned over and sucked it twice. Heinrich was frightened and wanted to struggle, but at this moment his hands and feet were so weak that he could only watch Celia vomit several mouthfuls in succession, and finally stretched out his hand to pick it up when his lips were faintly gray. Straws that are just fully inflated.

"How could you do this, you..."

Celia raised a finger, made a silencing motion, took out the universal antidote tablet from the medical kit with her backhand and swallowed it dryly, and then used a surgical straw to suck out the remaining venom in the wound. At this time, the antidote had already begun to work, and the color of the wound quickly changed from black to red, and blood continued to ooze out, and the originally numb arm also regained some consciousness.

Heinrich stared closely at Celia's pale and indifferent face, and asked hoarsely for a while, "How do you feel?"

"It's a bit numb. Where are you flying, Griffin?"

Outside the cabin, the black snakes were gathering into a huge mountain, and then they shot towards the sky towards the airship. Griffin dodged left and right while bombing the particle gun, and shouted angrily: "Can you stop showing affection! Look down!"

Celia: "..."

Celia's eyelids jumped wildly, and she stretched her head to look out the porthole. I saw that the battleship on the ground had turned into a black mountain, and countless small snakes gathered into thick waves, surging and neighing on the surface of the battleship.

"Who the hell is doing this?" Heinrich also poked his head over to take a look, and his voice changed immediately with disgust: "Griffin, use the electromagnetic gun to blast the snake tide on the surface of the hatch!"

"But if the hatch is blown through—"

"It's okay, it can hold on!"

"I can't hold it!" Griffin cried and howled: "My spinal fluid is not enough! Didn't you realize that I can only change into an airship but not a mech? Do you remember the last time you replenished my spinal fluid? You stupid people Humans only know how to use mechas all day long, have you ever thought about the feeling of mechas?!"

emperor:"… "

Marshal: "..."

The airship suddenly rose above the battleship, narrowly avoiding another wave of snakes. The corner of Heinrich's mouth twitched and turned to Celia, and asked for a long while, "Honey, when was the last time you replenished it with spinal fluid?"

Celia was expressionless: "Forgot."

The Griffin never screams like other mechas when it loses energy. It always sticks to Celia's body silently, stealthily absorbing body fluids to convert them into marrow fluid. At first, Celia also wanted to monitor its energy status, but later found that the remaining amount was always 100%, and a large part was hidden by it. It is said that it was going to be a dowry gift for the Phoenix.

… Celia had nothing to say about it, but let it go.

Originally, this stupid lion followed Celia secretly all day long, and the marrow fluid was inexhaustible, and there was never any problem; but it has been locked for more than 20 days on the battleship. Heinrich later indirectly became the accomplice of the marshal being eaten by the emperor, which made the marshal furious and was almost thrown into the toilet.

The 3S stupid lion, who knows he is wrong, has been hiding in the corner these days, pretending to be transparent, and has never dared to lean on Celia to steal the marrow fluid. Originally, it lost a lot of energy in the fierce battle of the Alliance Council. In addition, after more than 20 days on the battleship, it fired a powerful electromagnetic cannon just now, and now its energy has dropped to orange alarm. area.

"Pull up in the air first, and put the firepower system on standby!" A blowout erupted from the sand below the countless Black Snake warships. Xiaodao: "Where is your energy interface?"

The Griffin hurriedly protruded a small metal groove from the bridge, Celia raised his hand and scratched his arm, stretching the wound to the groove to drip blood. However, Heinrich raised his eyes and was immediately startled: "——what are you doing?"

"Replenish marrow fluid."

"Isn't spinal fluid secreted from the brain? Why use this method?!"

"I don't have to tell—"

The griffin suddenly yelled, "Wait!"

Heinrich: "Are you trying to say that you don't have to tell me?!"

"This is my private matter..."

"Wait! You wait!"

"Anything about your body is not personal!"

"Shut up and don't get nervous!"

"Shut up, all of you!" the Griffin roared suddenly, feeling extremely wronged: "I can't absorb this marrow fluid!"

The cabin was suddenly quiet, and the emperor and the marshal glanced at the dignified eyes at the same time: "What's wrong?"

"..." The griffin shuddered, and said weakly: "The pheromone content is too high, and the spinal fluid is not enough... This is the body fluid in the early stage of estrus, and I can't absorb it."

There was silence in the cabin.

Heinrich's half-dead look disappeared instantly, and he looked at Celia excitedly.

"..." The corners of Celia's brows twitched, and she suddenly remembered that Phoenix had refused to absorb his blood when the Royal Military Academy started, but at that time, she didn't have time to ask the reason for this embarrassment—although his blood is rich in substances that can be converted into spinal fluid , but the pheromone concentration increases a hundredfold during the estrus period, and it is difficult for even 3S mechs to extract effective substances from it. Rather than saying that what is flowing in his veins is blood, it is more appropriate to say that it is a liquid aphrodisiac.

"Need spinal fluid? It's okay to switch to me!" Heinrich immediately sat up covering the wound: "Where's the brain extraction device, bring it here, I'm fine!"

Celia felt a little bit of a toothache seeing his positive appearance, but the situation was beyond doubt, and the Griffin immediately pulled out the extractor from the warehouse: a helmet connected to the converter, and there were several slender metal probes inside.

This is the standard configuration for mechs to extract spinal fluid. Under normal circumstances, spinal fluid can only be secreted from the driver's brain, and the output is extremely small. After a series of complicated transformation processes, it can be fused with energy fluid to become an S-class machine. A higher level of energy used. The Griffin originally used this method to obtain energy when they followed Aaron, but after following Celia, this device was no longer used, and it was not rediscovered from the corner of the warehouse until today.

The emperor gave Celia a malicious look like a hunter fattening up his prey, and put on the helmet happily.

"..." Countless ellipses appeared above Celia's head, and she turned to look at the porthole. I saw that the plain was almost covered by the tide of snakes, and the battleship was already covered by tens of thousands of surging and squeezing black snakes. The protruding wings on both sides could only be vaguely distinguished from the shape, and the hatch was on the right side of the plane. directly below the wing.

what is going on actually

Who is in charge of this change on the Youkong star

·

"The content of spinal fluid has risen to 26%, and it has left the orange alarm zone. Note, the content of spinal fluid has risen to 26%, and the firepower system is ready to output..."

The mechanical sound of the system sounded, and Heinrich lifted his helmet. His eyes were red and sweaty, and his face was extremely ugly. Extracting the spinal fluid is a heavy burden for the driver, not to mention that he has not yet cleared the snake venom, and he has already run out of ammunition after barely increasing the spinal fluid content to 26%. If he continues, it may cause damage to his brain. irreversible damage.

The Griffin quickly mixed the marrow fluid and the energy fluid, then activated the firepower system, and asked nervously, "Use an electromagnetic cannon to attack the hatch? How much firepower should you output?"

"One hundred percent!" Heinrich gasped and shouted: "The imperial battleship can withstand this!"

There was only a buzzing sound, and the forts stretched out on both sides of the airship's front wings, and the black electromagnetic guns aimed at the battleship covered by the snake tide. At this moment, the situation is very critical, another wave on the ground is rushing towards the airship with hissing sound, at the moment of the head-on collision, a dazzling white light flashed from the muzzle, and then—

boom!

Two rows of electromagnetic cannons rushed out from left and right, like giant lightnings falling from the sky, splitting the tide of snakes in an instant; then the cannon light hit the battleship hatch fiercely, blasting countless black snakes covering it to the ground!

"It's now!"

The hatch opened with a bang, and the airship rushed down in the air, and rushed into the deck from the gap through the bursting black blood! Because the castration was too fierce, the griffin slammed heavily against the wall before it stopped, and then the hatch opened in front of it slowly closed, and it was slowly closed a second before the wave of snakes rolled back again. .

Inside the airship, the emperor and the marshal glanced at each other, and they both saw expressions of lingering fear on each other's faces.

"Are you okay?" Celia asked.

"Can hold it, how about you?"

"fine."

The two climbed out of the cockpit separately, and the griffin immediately turned back to Celia. The light inside the battleship was dim and quiet. Heinrich took two steps back and leaned against the wall, gasped and asked, "Isn't this a natural phenomenon of the Nether Sky Star? Who do you think caused it?"

"When I was in the Alliance, I heard from the Nether Sky Stars—" Celia's voice stopped suddenly, and she froze when she heard the familiar laughter behind her.

"—Dear Senior Brother, I didn't expect that it was you." The voice paused, and asked with a sneer, "Have you thought about the day we will meet again?"

Celia's pupils dilated slightly, with unconcealable surprise in her eyes. After a while he turned his head slowly, and asked word by word: "Osrod...?"
