Eula was stunned when she saw the scene, as if she had seen the special skill of an "old friend". It was like fireworks falling from the sky, and even the flying sparks were somewhat similar.
That's not right? It seems that the light cone that Sora gave her wasn't related to Naganohara?
"Oh! This arrow is so powerful! It's worthy of being Sora's modified ammunition!"
"You're practicing your moves here? Watch your step!"
However, March's complacency did not last long, as a group of ice-crystal-like fireflies flew up from the snow cliff and launched a surprise attack from under her feet.
Fortunately, she had Befa protecting her.
Befa's way of handling the situation was as simple, effective and shocking as ever. She raised her foot and landed her boat boots on the snow cliff neither lightly nor heavily, crushing the ice and snow that had accumulated for more than a hundred years. The fracture of large sections of the ice structure triggered a limited avalanche, which hit the monsters flying close to the snow cliff. Four or five ice-blue shadows fluttered in the raised white dust for a while before they completely lost their lives.
"Thank you, thank you?"
March, who was knocked to the ground by Befa's kick, felt a little scared.
She could actually handle these little things, she would just be a little flustered at most, but Befa's effortless attitude was really a bit scary, making it difficult for her to complain about the monster snatching behavior like she did to Eula.
"You're welcome, Miss March. We are both doing our duty. You suppress the enemy and I protect your flank. We can have the best of both worlds."
Although there were many areas that needed improvement and criticism, Befa did not intend to instruct the little girl without going through the commander's instructions.
"March, continue to secure the commanding heights and sniper advantage! Danheng, follow me, let's destroy the opening of the rift!"
A bright green flash pierced through the white mist. After Dan Heng linked up a string of three "fluttering moths", he turned around in mid-air, and in an anti-intuitive and anti-physical way, as if his left foot was stepping on his right foot, he refracted towards the sky to meet him.
Such outrageous spearmanship made Kong's mouth twitch.
He originally thought that Xiao's gun skills would be somewhat out of place, but he underestimated Dan Heng's martial arts attainments - this seamless change of direction in the air was simply the Great Sage Xiao's incarnation from another world.
176. I'm awesome! Holy Relic!
Dan Heng sometimes gives Kong a strange feeling——
His maturity is not real maturity, but his martial arts attainments are not entirely attainments, but a kind of accumulation of experience and talent, just like the back of a piece of white paper is full of cheat sheets, it is indeed invisible when it is posted on the table, but some scratches and handwriting can still be seen through the light and shadow.
Combined with what he said about often having strange dreams, Sora narrowed down the possibilities about him to just two.
Although this had no impact on the current battle, it gave Kong the idea of helping him further resolve his karma.
"Solve one."
"Kong, the rift one kilometer ahead seems to have stopped spawning monsters!"
After Kong stuffed a plasma grenade into the Rift and blew it up, Sanyue, who was watching from a sniper position, also sent back good news:
"The rift here is not very active. Is it because it is still far away from the star core? I see that except for this one, the rifts in other directions are still dead silent."
"Even with all that noise, the monsters haven't moved again. Tsk, I hate leaving hidden dangers to deal with later."
As he said this, Kong half-knelt down and picked up a strange object with a purple glow from the ground - it was the object that had just been blown out from the inside of the Rift by a grenade.
At first glance, it looked like some kind of souvenir, but after a closer look, Kong discovered that it was a bubble-shaped miniature armor, plated entirely with gold, which contained some intriguing obsession.
Psychic energy can guide out some of the information, although it is complicated, but Kong quickly analyzed its effectiveness... This thing can actually stimulate mental power and form a relatively weak shield.
A strange object constructed by spiritual obsession?
[Ace! Killed the most enemies on March 7! Exclusive MVP music "Come! Take a photo!" is playing now]
At the same time as the battle was settled, March also heard the MVP music played for her by the system on the public frequency, and she jumped for joy.
Different from other people's MVP music, the music selected by the system for March sounds quite cheerful and full of carefreeness...
Although the intriguing pauses and low points in the middle seemed to hint at something, everyone was busy cleaning up the battlefield, so no one paid attention.
"Yeah, I'm the MVP!! Teacher Dan Heng!! I've grown a lot now!!"
"Although you only achieved this with the help of Sora's light cone, congratulations anyway."
"Can't you just give me a compliment or two frankly?"
"You haven't earned Sora's recognition yet. In his eyes, you probably have a lot of problems that can be corrected."
"Wow... this is such a cold shower... Sora? Can you give me your opinion? Hmm? What are you looking at?"
Pink-haired slid down the snow cliff and came to Kong, only to see that he was still thinking about the strange object he had obtained:
"...Defense +4%. Holy crap! A holy relic!!"
After more than ten seconds, he suddenly woke up and let out a strange cry that contained subtle pain and unbearable memories.
"? What's wrong with you Sora??"
The complex emotions contained in that voice were so heavy that Sanyue and Danheng had a vision of the golden-haired fool going in and out of a certain ruins day and night, under the stars and moon, and carrying out tons of various scrap metals to give to his companions.
This vision was so "real" that it made Sanyue and Danheng feel a sense of hardship and difficulty that went beyond the synchronization of the light cone and empathized with each other.
"…Here you go. It should make your shield thicker." Squinting his eyes, Kong suppressed the discomfort and threw the strange object condensed from obsession to Sanyue.
"Oh, this is? A relic?"
After getting it, Sanyue's eyes lit up immediately and said, "I've seen similar small items in the space station. Wow, thank you Kong. This is my first time to touch a relic in person. I just don't know if it's really as powerful as Uncle Yang said--"
"So this crappy thing is the relic that Silver Wolf mentioned? Damn! What is the connection between this world and Teyvat?"
There was another inexplicable "howling" sound in Kong's spiritual realm. He seemed to have seen a future like being in prison, or in other words, he understood everything the moment Party A opened the relic equipment column for everyone - what was waiting for him ahead must be endless defenses of all sizes and life hells of all sizes!
What's even more outrageous is that the equipment slot provided by Party A has one more empty slot than the one provided by Tianli! It seems to indicate that the workload will increase by 20%!
However, this is also a necessary part of integrating into the local power system...
Kong could only follow the system's arrangements. Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, he focused his mind and checked with Dan Heng about the information of the enemy he had just fought.
"The types of the Rift Creations generated are very simple, and their numbers are very small. They are all frost crystal creatures with strong cold resistance... But this cold wave is obviously caused by the star core. How can the star core limit the activities and types of the Rift Creations?"
Putting the spear under his armpit, Dan Heng took out his mobile phone and analyzed: "I am afraid we need to go a few kilometers deeper to see more abundant Rift Realm species..."
But after putting down the phone, his eyes immediately followed Kong's to the northeast side where a snowy field was covered with frozen trees.
“…Although the types of creatures in the Rift are single, it seems that there are still some individual creatures on this planet… that have not been completely alienated by the star core…”
"You saw it too? Just now, the snow pile over there was moving! It wasn't those ice sculptures! It looked like a person! I saw the color of the skin! It must be a person!"
After noticing the shivering snow pile, March immediately switched to the public channel for discussion, fearing to alert the enemy.
"...I've already seen the edge of his clothes...This idiot who is trying to cover up his mistake...Do you want me to go over and stab him with my sword?"
Youla raised her eyebrows and picked up Songlai in an unfriendly manner.
"...That guy shouldn't be an enemy."
Sora stared speechlessly at the guy who had no idea that he had been exposed.
In other words, he had long sensed the sight of the airdrop towards him, and was also keenly aware of the approach of the train set, but he still made such a meaningless move that deliberately exposed his whereabouts... He was either really stupid, or he hoped that I and others would go over and talk to him.
In fact, just after this area was included in the system map, the stitching system marked it as a blue interactive highlight on the map.
The good news is that there are still living people on this planet... The bad news is that anyone who can survive in such an environment must be protected by the power of destiny.
But no matter what the other party's purpose was in deliberately exposing himself, Kong didn't really want to go over and talk to him according to the routine, even though the guy was so cold that he almost shook off the snow on his body.
"Let's go. Don't pay attention to him. If he wants to communicate with us, he will definitely catch up with us. Oh - the system shows that there are dozens of blue dots approaching ahead. We may soon encounter a 'large force' organized by local residents."
177. Telling the truth is rewarded, lying is punished
"Have you scanned any other life signals? But I can't see anything on my helmet."
Dan Heng held up his mask, trying to find the data provided by Kong from the limited "UI".
"This is the mark displayed on the system map. Wait a moment, I will share the map with you."
They said to ignore the guy who was trying to steal the bell by covering his ears in the snow, and no one really cared about him at all. Only March Seven cared about him a lot, but she still obeyed Kong's command.
In the past, the train crew's exploration was characterized by being free-flowing and going wherever they wanted, but the Sky Team had clear goals and acted quickly, which made her a little uncomfortable, but she had to admit that this helped improve their exploration efficiency.
It’s just… I feel a bit like I’m on the march to a war… Uncle Yang said he used to be a captain, so it does have a military feel.
While March was stealing glances at Kong and the snow pile, he seemed to realize that although the train crew had discovered him, they were getting farther and farther away. The hiding guy finally couldn't help it, and broke through the "bunker" and used his hands and feet to rush over as if flying close to the ground, and grabbed Dan Heng's calf at the back.
Although the opponent was non-hostile, both Kong and Dan Heng only had a subconscious reaction to this sudden "attack".
"Ouch!!!"
The counterweight of the spear and the butt of the beam gun hit the blue-haired man's back at the same time, knocking him directly into the snow pile.
"Heroes!! Ha, A-choo!! Don't be so rude!"
He spoke the standard galactic language, had blue hair soaked by the melting snow, and wore a thin jacket that looked unsuitable for local activities and a bit suicidal. Kong could tell at a glance that this guy was definitely not a "native".
"I, I just want to seek help! This damn place is too cold! There's no need to use force, right?" The man who was rubbing his back tried to get up, but his shoulders were pressed down by the butt of Dan Heng's gun. In the end, he could only remain sitting and complain to the train crew helplessly.
"...You can't blame us. Who told you to crawl over here like a weirdo to scare people?"
Squatting down, Golden Hair carefully looked at this guy who had some kind of disgusting aura about him.
"You're not from here, brother? I see you're very active in the snow, so you don't need our help anyway."
There was a hint of joking in Sora's tone.
Although I'm not sure about the purpose of this blue-haired man, the fact that he can cause me to feel uncomfortable is enough to prove part of his identity.
"That's right! It's minus eighty degrees outside! If you didn't have some life protection on you, you would have turned into a sculpture long ago. Why are you pretending with us?"
Sanyueqi stood with her hands on her hips - standing next to Kong, she seemed to have become smarter and pointed out the unusual thing in one sentence.
"First, I did want to hide and see what happened at first - after all, you guys made such a big noise outside, it's very likely to attract the Silver Mane Guards, but I've been hiding for too long and I'm a little hypothermic - please, can you lend me some warm equipment or give me some hot water, hero!"
"...Befa, get him some energy bars and hot water."
After taking a deep look at this guy, the warning in Kong's eyes became stronger and stronger, and the amusement gradually faded away:
"your name?"
"This hero, my name is Sambo, and I am happy to serve you - thank you."
After getting the hot water and energy bar, the man named Sambo immediately started to devour them. His skillful movements made Kong certain that this was a troublesome guy who had taken advantage of others for free.
"Seeing that we had no intention of paying attention to you, you would rather risk being hurt by mistake and come to contact us. If you had known this, wouldn't you have revealed your presence openly?"
"Oh, whoever sees that huge fireball streaking across the sky will be frightened, right? I just cherish my life - but seeing that you have killed so many creatures from the Rift Valley, you should be someone we can communicate with..."
"Nonsense, you were clearly waiting for us here in advance, and you had already observed the train's whereabouts before we landed, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence?"
