No one can fight against the Ember Storm with their own flesh and blood.
Shinra is the best proof of this.
Therefore, those entering the Ash Storm must wear protective equipment.
Compared with the fourth-generation storm-proof suit provided by Ye Mei, the Mystic's protective suit is lighter and simpler. The chest, forearms and calves are covered with silver armor, and the face-covering mask has a long beak.
The attack he launched against the Cyclops was not a superpower, but a grenade thrown.
One grenade after another exploded on the Cyclops, with brilliant sparks. The explosion cannot break the hard flesh of the Cyclops, but it can interfere with its movements. The Cyclops stopped in place and intercepted the grenade with its huge palm.
The mysterious man was about to run out of grenades, but he turned around and found that Wu Chan had not left.
"Go quickly!"
His voice was processed by the beak mask and became hoarse and muddy.
Although Wu Chan could not defeat the one-eyed monster, he could not leave the person who saved him and escape alone.
He stuck his shield into the ground and pulled out his two swords from behind, ready to strike at any time to rescue the mysterious man.
The mysterious man finally threw away all the grenades he carried.
The one-eyed giant stretched out his huge palm and fell from the sky to take a picture.
Because of its huge size and seemingly slow movements, it is actually so fast that people cannot easily dodge it.
If the mysterious man dared to help Wu Chan escape, he must have other skills besides grenades. Before the giant palm smashed all the bones in his body, he quickly flew backwards to the side, and at the same time, he stretched his arms outward as if pulling an invisible rope.
A terrifying and strange scene occurred. The giant palm of the Cyclops suddenly broke off at the wrist level in mid-air, and the exposed arm bone was as thick as a barrel that could fit Wu Chan's whole body into it.
The palm of his hand was cut off by something unknown, and the one-eyed monster looked up at the sky and roared.
This was the first time Wu Chan heard the cry of the one-eyed giant, and it was completely different from the cry of any creature he had ever heard - it was simply a bombardment!
Along with the roar, the red light beam emitted from the eye of the Cyclops rushed to the sky.
Rather than screaming in pain, this behavior is more like summoning a companion.
A one-eyed giant evil is already impossible to deal with. If the one-eyed giant evil gathers together, then everyone present will only die.
"Let's go!"
The mysterious man urged Wu Zen again as he ran past him at extremely fast pace.
Wu Zen pulled up his shield and followed him.
The mysterious man was obviously more familiar with the terrain here than Wu Chan, and he found a cover in less than two minutes.
Compared with the previous steel frame, which was sifted by the strong wind, not even a single stone was left. Although this place is in ruins, many broken walls have been preserved.
The two stood in the lee of the wind.
"You shouldn't have come in."
said the mysterious man.
Wu Chan said: "We know each other? Who are you?"
A strange voice came from the bird's beak mask: "You don't have to worry about who I am, as long as you remember, you haven't seen me today, and I haven't saved you."
Wu Chan said: "Why?"
The mysterious man said: "This is not the time to be curious. Use the shield that Ye Mei gave you. If you are seen by the Cyclops next time, you will not be so lucky."
When Wu Chan saw the mysterious man was about to leave, he reached out to grab his wrist.
Wu Chan didn't want to owe a favor, let alone a favor that he didn't even know who was helping him.
But the mysterious man easily dodged Wu Chan's hand.
"I am leaving."
The mysterious man jumped back three times in a row, keeping a long distance from Wu Chan.
"Don't chase me."
The beak mask looked at Wu Chan, and then slowly backed away until the whole person disappeared into the dim ashes.
In Wu Chan's knowledge, there are only a handful of people who can cut off one hand of the Cyclops.
His father, Wu Mi, can certainly do it.
But his domineering and stern body cannot be hidden by protective clothing. The figure of this mysterious man is obviously much smaller.
Secondly, the three elders of Jinyue of Xueshan Lingzong can also do it.
But if they were to take action, it wouldn't be as simple as cutting off one of the cyclops' hands. Moreover, after the processing of the beak mask, although its own voice can no longer be heard, it does not feel old at all. The more critical point is that the three elders of Jin Yue have no reason to come all the way to save themselves, so this possibility is also ruled out.
There is one more person.
That was his senior brother Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan's intelligence was something Wu Chan could only be ashamed of. Even though they grew up together, Wu Chan still hasn't figured out how many weird tricks his senior brother Tang Zhan knows. If it was senior brother Tang Zhan who came to the rescue, there would be no reason not to recognize him.
After all the above options were eliminated by Wu Chan, he really couldn't think of any other alternatives.
But from the tone of the mysterious man's words, it was clear that he knew himself.
The person was completely gone, so Wu Chan no longer thought deeply about it.
He looked around the surroundings to confirm his position, and the disc on his waist vibrated slightly again.
The No. 4 light next to the No. 3 light also lights up.
This means that two of the six bombs have been placed.
Wu Chan put away the disk and took action as soon as possible.
After walking for a few minutes, he reached the taller steel frame he had seen at the top of the previous one.
This tall building has a strong "vitality". There is one wall that has not been deserted, and there are even many stairs left, which greatly speeds up Wu Chan's climb upstairs.
When he was halfway up the stairs, a sickle cut off the exposed steel bars on the side and struck him. Wu Chan quickly drew his sword to block it, and the sickle bounced high.
There is a giant mantis hidden in this building!
Wu Chan used the two giant mantises he killed before and confirmed that there were eight central balls in their bodies, so he had an idea of the upper limit of the combat power of this evil monster.
There was only a giant praying mantis in front of him. There was no need for Wu Chan to waste time and he dragged his knife forward.
Two swords against two swords.
In just three rounds, the giant mantis' forearms with scythes were cut off at shoulder level, and then its head with big eyes like lightbulbs was chopped off.
Wu Chan slashed at Mantis's tall body with his sword, disembowelling him in a blink of an eye, and all eight central balls were shattered.
Wu Chan stepped over Mantis's body and continued upstairs, reaching the top of the building smoothly.
Standing on the roof of the building with only the steel frame left, Wu Chan looked into the distance and saw another taller building in the depths of the ash storm ahead. This couldn't help but remind him of the saying that one mountain is higher than the other.
The tall building in the distance is the focus of Wu Chan's mission.
Because in addition to being wrapped in the ash storm, there is another thing growing on its roof -
It was a huge tumor, with countless tree-root-like tentacles extending out and clinging to the roof of the building, expanding and contracting like the rhythm of a heartbeat.
Suddenly, Wu Chan saw that the giant tumor had expanded even more than before, and then opened a hole.
A monster with many legs squeezed out, covered in mucus.
Although he was far away, Wu Chan could still clearly see the appearance of the monster.
It was the giant mantis he killed downstairs.
"So, that's your home base."
