Rather than being in the middle of a storm, Wu Chan felt more like he was at the bottom of the ocean.
Strong resistance and pressure were pervasive. Even though he was wrapped in a storm-proof suit, Wu Chan still felt vigilant about facing death at any time.
The wind was howling, and the ashes were dancing like swarms of bees. About twenty minutes after officially entering the ashes storm, the six operators were completely separated.
The reason why I say about twenty minutes.
It's because in the Ash Storm, all the timing equipment failed, and the passage of time can only be sensed through the body. In addition, there is another way of timing that is not accurate but can be done, and that is the color change of the ghost horn.
Zhan Hai said that when a pair of ghost horns filter the miasma to the limit, they will emit red light. And this limit time is about one and a half hours. Wu Chan can use this process to determine how long an hour and a half is in the Ash Storm. In the next half hour after replacing the ghost horn, Wu Chan must seize the time to complete the task and evacuate from the Ash Storm.
Wu Chan braved the strong wind and moved forward slowly but steadily.
At this time, his left hand was holding a shield that was almost the same height as him. The fang sword and the black gold sword were carried side by side behind his back, and the handles of the two swords poked out from behind his right shoulder. Seven flying knives polished by the fangs of the whale-level monster were inserted into his waist one by one. The above are all the weapons and equipment Wu Chan used to enter this extremely dangerous place.
A dazzling red lightning suddenly flashed above his head. Wu Chan paid careful attention, but he didn't hear thunder for a long time.
After the red lightning flashed across the sky, the red light did not completely dissipate, but turned into a cross.
This is not lightning!
But the eyes of the one-eyed giant!
Wu Chan's left thumb reflexively pressed the switch on the shield handle. The shield instantly vibrated slightly, and at the same time, there were circles of oil-like halos.
The one-eyed giant seven or eight stories high walked slowly towards him, its red cross eye scanning left and right like a high-altitude searchlight.
boom!
One of the one-eyed monster's feet fell from the sky and landed on Wu Chan's left side. The ground shook like an earthquake. Wu Chan stabilized his body and used his shield to block the splashing sand and dust.
boom-
The one-eyed giant stepped forward with his right foot.
boom-
The one-eyed giant raised his left foot and followed.
Wu Chan quietly waited for the earth to finally stop shaking as the one-eyed evil spirit walked away.
Wu Chan turned off the shield switch.
Although Wu Chan didn't know how long the energy stored in the shield could maintain its defensive effect, in this difficult environment, he could save as much as he could.
Wu Chan continued to explore and finally could vaguely see a building in the strong wind.
He braved the pressure of the wind and moved over. He was disappointed to find that although the building occupied a large area and should have been a magnificent tall building before, it was now only four or five floors in dilapidated condition. After being washed away by strong winds all day long, a large amount of steel bars had been exposed on the wall. Wu Chan touched the remaining bricks on the wall with his hand, and they immediately shattered into powder and were blown up by the wind, making a rustling sound on the ghost surface.
Wu Chan suddenly thought of something. Are there really high-rise buildings still left in this ashes storm
If not, then the task will inevitably fail and their actions will lose all meaning.
If they survive, then how do those buildings survive the strong winds day after day
Wu Chan had no answer in his heart, and the only way to get the answer was to keep moving forward.
The wind ahead is still as wild as ever.
But the direction of the wind from the side has changed.
Wu Chan instantly pulled out his fang sword and turned around to slash.
Ping!
Wu Chan seemed to have struck a blow with someone.
But Wu Chan didn't see the target's appearance clearly at all. After one blow, the assassin disappeared into the ashes that covered his eyes.
Being able to do this shows that the assassin can not only resist the toxicity of the miasma, but can also move at high speed against resistance from all directions.
Is it a human
This possibility is extremely low.
Evil
From the point of view of being able to use weapons, this possibility is very high.
However, even the Sha people cannot survive for a long time in the Ash Storm. In other words, Wu Chan did not break into the Sha people's territory, but the Sha people were following him and used the Ash Storm as an execution to kill Wu Chan. tower.
Wu Chan did not continue to move forward. He had a hunch that the assassins would launch a second attack at any time.
as expected.
A swift slash came from behind the sand-like ashes.
Wu Chan raised his sword and saw the appearance of the assassin's sword - it was not a long sword, but a thick, alien-shaped sickle!
Not one handle, but two handles!
The second sickle broke through the ashes flying in the sky and struck vertically from Wu Chan's head!
Wu Zen raised his sword and slashed forward, colliding with the sickle again.
At the same time, his vigilance, honed through hundreds of battles, made him retreat instinctively.
The messy air flow scraped against his waist, almost injuring him.
The third sickle
The assassin actually had three arms.
wrong.
There are two assassins!
Now they were once again hiding behind ashes.
Wu Zen threw the shield on the ground.
The special function of this shield can block the senses of the Cyclops, but its defensive power is really average.
The assassin's scythe can clash with the fanged sword continuously, and the slashes cannot be resisted by this shield.
Wu Chan changed the fang sword to his left hand, and slowly pulled out the black gold sword named Steel Shadow with his right hand.
The air filtered through the ghost horns on his forehead flowed slowly in the storm-proof suit. Wu Chan could hear his own heartbeat, as well as the enemy's rapid approach behind the wind and sand!
on the right!
Wu Chan slid forward and made a horizontal slash with a calm breath. Only when he hit the target did he let out the breath completely. Such exertion of force gives the slashing effect a stick-like effect.
As expected, the opponent's sword was raised high, Wu Chan jumped forward, and slashed down with the long sword in his left hand!
However!
Others were in mid-air, but they saw the assassin's head in advance.
Because the assassin is too tall!
And its face is almost made up of two giant eyes - of course this can't be a human, but a giant mantis!
Wu Chan's mind was in a state of confusion, and the force of the downward slash was weakened by three points. The giant mantis swung the sickle upwards, and collided with the long fang sword. Wu Chan used the force to jump back, and the moment he landed, he slid far behind.
Bang.
A curved sickle pierced the ground. If Wu Chan had retreated for just a second, the sickle would most likely have penetrated his head.
The giant mantis advanced from the ashes, revealing its entire body.
Obviously, this is a kind of evil spirit, but it is something Wu Chan has never seen before.
It is three meters tall, and its size is dozens of times larger than that of an ordinary mantis. Its back and joints are covered with barbs. In addition to its two sickle-shaped front legs, there is also a bulging belly that should grow on the buttocks of a scorpion. Hook on top.
"What did you eat to grow so big?"
Wu Zen complained in a way that only he could hear.
