Soul of Burning Steel

"Want a real body."

He repeated No. 3's wish in a low voice, and the corners of Qiao Xiu's mouth were slightly raised. He didn't seem to be embarrassed by it: "It's really a reasonable wish."

Think about it carefully, when No. 3 used to be in the lord's mansion, she did always pay attention to Ying and Rin's figure. Although she didn't know why because of the look in her eyes, she could indeed see that she had this wish.

Moreover, for the same artificial life, one has a body but the other does not, which is indeed enviable.

After thinking about it for a while, the soldier replied: "Whether it is a spiritual body or an artificial body, the research in this area has already had a certain degree of eyebrows."

He looked relaxed, as if it weren't a big deal: "When I have a chance in the future, I can contact the Mage Association or the academies in the Eastern Plains, then this is not a problem."

"This is my promise."

"..."

No. 3 didn't reply, just looked at Joshua's face seriously, as if confirming that his words were true or false.

Soon, she showed a faint smile: "Yeah."

Miss Artificial Intelligence actively hung up the communication. Before leaving, Joshua could vaguely hear a sentence: "I will work hard!"

“It seems that it’s okay to say it’s okay. In fact, I still need to be rewarded. I work harder when I work.

The soldier chuckled, then put away the communication circle.

Now, it is time to go to the imperial capital.

In another world, at the other end of the space-time passage of the Great Aes Volcano.

In the dark sky, black clouds surged in the sky, and the top of the mountain gushed out like a pillar of dust that supported the sky and the earth. While countless ashes fell like rain, it brought a scorching breath and a dry and scorching wind.

Five kilometers away from Sigma Volcano, on a fast-moving magic armored vehicle.

"As you can see, this is the most dangerous place."

A voice came from the armored vehicle. In the wide transport warehouse, twelve warriors wrapped in steel and magic patterns were sitting on both sides, and in the center, a tall warrior in the same costume was speaking.

A dull voice came from the back of the armor, shaking the atmosphere, turning into a sonorous statement: "The sigma volcano is about to erupt, lava rain, fire meteorites, dust enough to submerge people, and hundreds of thousands of degrees of high heat will Destroy everything around, even if you are all wearing the most advanced and strong armor of the Federation today, you may die on the spot at any time."

The soldiers sat silently on the bumpy armored car, but from their eyes, no one was afraid.

The speaker seemed to be very satisfied with this. He was silent for a while, and then continued: "Our special operations team Terrera has experienced many dangers, such as extremely cold glaciers, underground caves, endless deserts...all the dangerous things in this world. In the region, we have all arrived, explored, and successfully completed the mission, and this time, it will be no exception."

When he said this sentence, there was no strong ups and downs in the tone, just a plain narrative, but it contained strong confidence: "Now, we are about to reach our destination."

The armored car was driving at high speed, and now it was about to approach the foot of the volcano. The violent vibration shook the solid armored car like an earthquake, and the dust flow like a landslide also slipped past the surroundings from time to time.

"Everyone, repeat, our mission this time!"

Suddenly, the standing soldier who led the team snapped.

The soldiers who had been silent at the same time shouted loudly, as if roaring: "Look for the missing volcano investigation team and investigate the cause of their disappearance!"

"Very good, get ready, go!"

As soon as the voice fell, the armored car stopped at a stable place halfway through the volcano, and the twelve warriors rushed out of the car like a bolt of lightning, each rushing in a different direction.

The leader stood in the carriage, looking at the direction the players were leaving, his face was expressionless, but after a while, the soldier looked up at the sigma that was continuously erupting with smoke and sparks, and seemed to be about to explode. At the top of the volcano, I couldn't help sighing.

In fact, even if he was as confident as him, he had no confidence in this mission.

Since October last year, various natural disasters, earthquakes, sandstorms, melting glaciers, heavy rains, droughts, blizzards, extreme cold, icy rain have appeared all over the world... Numerous disasters have raged on the territory of the Federation. All the rescuers were exhausted, and now, as if it was the turn of a volcano to erupt, Sigma Volcano, which had been confirmed to be dormant, had actually begun to reactivate, and in just a dozen days, it was about to erupt.

To this end, the Federal urgently dispatched an investigation team and authorized them to use the most advanced detectors (this thing is so expensive that no one wants to think about that number) to assist in researching the reasons for the activation of the volcano, but it didn't take long. , The detector lost its signal, and while the high-level federal officials were furious, they also discovered with horror that the investigation team of dozens of people could not be contacted now, as if the whole team was missing.

There must be an unknown reason behind this. As the most elite special exploration force in the Federation, Tyria's exploration team received this task and found the answer behind all of this.

The volcano was still brewing power. The soldier walked out of the armored car, and the steel soles touched the gray-white soil. He could even feel the pulse of the earth under him, and the hot blood of the world surged in the blood vessels of the rock, expecting an explosion. The opportunity presented, as a life, he felt in awe of it, and there was a hint of excitement.

——This is a view that ordinary people cannot see for many years. It is a tribute to the bravest.

At the same time, magic communication arrays light up from the armored vehicles.

"Report No. 1, Nothing found in area 7, end."

"Report No. 2, Nothing found in area 13, end."

"Report No. 3, a metal artifact was found in area 32, presumed to be a vibration sensor placed by the investigation team, it ends."

"Start the investigation with this as the center. Maybe you can find other traces." The captain on the armored vehicle quickly issued an order: "Keep in touch at any time, end."

Next, there were scattered small discoveries. In the process of rapid investigation and exploration, the soldiers of the squad found many traces left by the investigation team. It seems that they did have a good job at the beginning, and they did not like the high-level imagination. That kind of malfeasance.

"Report No. 9, the investigation team camp was found in area 41. As documented, the location has not changed. It is over."

Hearing this news, the team leader immediately issued a follow-up instruction: "Investigate the inside of the camp and report the situation at any time. Other team members from the three areas should go to area 41 to gather. The other soldiers continue to explore and end."

The report of Soldier 9 did not stop.

"There are no people in the hall, and there are many documents disorderly placed on the table. It can be judged that the investigation team was very panicked when it left."

"There are a few scattered shoes and documents in the corridor."

"The food in the warehouse area and various weapons research tools have not been used in large quantities. It can be judged that the investigation mission is very urgent at the beginning of the day, and there is no time left except for evacuation."

"The research center has many muddy shoe prints. It can be judged that many people gathered before this."

Number 9 on the other side of the communication array quickly turned over the entire camp, and his tone was a little confused: "Other than that, nothing was discovered. The volcanic ash and mud rain buried all external footprints. I can't judge the investigation. Where to go before the regiment leaves."

"——————Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a huge noise came out, as if the sky collapsed. It was a sound that was a hundred times more shocking than thunder. The captain who stayed halfway up the mountain looked up at the top of the mountain. He opened his mouth slightly to resolve the huge shock of his eardrums. .

In his eyes, the world was shaking.

The immense power is pulsating in the depths of the soles of the feet, and that is the fiery heat that the world itself has nurtured.

The torrent of lava converges and is about to explode. This is not the result of any technology or magic, but a message that the warrior as a life instinctively obtains.

The volcano is about to erupt.

"Damn it! It was two hours ahead of the earliest predicted time!"

Gritting his teeth, the team leader said decisively to each communication circle: "The mission is terminated, repeat, the mission is terminated, everyone returns to area 0, repeat, everyone returns to area 0, end!"

"Report 9! What about the investigation team's information? End!"

"...Then bring all the information, hurry!"

The Terrera team is indeed the most elite force in the Federation. Within minutes of the order, all the team members rushed back to the armored vehicle assembly area at full speed. A few soldiers held a few cartons or instruments in their hands. They quickly Entering the armored vehicle, and the armored vehicle did not wait for everyone to sit firmly, it quickly started, turned, and then ran toward the mountain.

----Ohh Ohh ohh----

As if it was a mourning and a cry of mourning, the hot hurricane enough to melt the steel gushes out from the center of the crater. The huge plume of smoke suddenly became thicker, and even squeezed the thick black cloud in the sky. , So that the clouds within a radius of tens of miles were surging, and a little sunlight was revealed, shining on the mountain, the golden luster rolled, and it was extremely sacred.

Although the gap was immediately blocked, everyone was shocked by this scene.

——This is the mighty power of nature!

But then, they didn't have the energy to shock.

-Bang-boom boom boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! —————

First there was silence, and then there was an eruption. Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred on the top of Sigma Volcano. The original ring-shaped peak was completely shattered and turned into infinite bolide deep into the clouds, while the golden red lava seemed to erupt from the arteries. The blood that came out was like that, violently spilling onto the surrounding ground.

What kind of scene is this? The warrior on the armored vehicle couldn't describe the shock of himself, so he could only watch this scene intently.

After a while, the red-colored bolide left the earth and then descended from the sky again. The meteorite that was raised to the high altitude by the volcanic eruption turned into a bright line of fire and fell, and then touched the earth one after another, not just around Sigma Volcano, within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. All are in danger of being hit.

The whizzing volcanic meteorites smashed into the peaks, forests and hills, so the mountains shook, the forests burned into ashes, and the hills turned into basins, and a bolide was flying towards the area where the armored vehicle was, accompanied by the captain. The roar of the armored car, in the shock that was so violent that people could not think about it, the engine of the armored car uttered a roar. It took the soldiers above this dangerous distance at an overloaded speed, and the violent explosion was behind them. produce.

The supersonic shock wave swiftly approached the armored vehicle, followed by the hot smoked wind, but their speed decayed so much that they did not catch up, while the soldiers watched the ground behind them turned into lava scorched earth due to the falling of the meteorite, and the trees. It is smoked into coke, and then burned. The high heat that burned everything sweeps through the sand and dust. As a result, the quartz crystallizes to form glass-like crystals, which are then covered by lava and dust mist.

They couldn't help but pray to the gods. Human power could not stop this matter. They could only pray.

The eruption of the volcano once again threw countless lava and smoke into the sky, and a line of golden and red fire lines across the sky, and then fell to the ground, bringing up a line of fiery flames, and the forest was burning, turning hundreds of miles into a sea of ​​fire. Lakes evaporate, rivers change paths, countless water mists soar, mixed with black volcanic ash, forming muddy fog and heavy rain

"The map is going to be rewritten..."

Inside the armored vehicle, I don't know who said this, and no one else expressed objections, because he was telling the truth, and it was indeed the case.

Even if the eruption of Sigma volcano ceases, the damage caused by the devastating impact will not be restored. Bolides have caused countless mountain peaks to collapse, ground subsidence, violent earthquakes fluctuated areas within thousands of miles, and underground waterways were completely destroyed. The forest has also turned into scorched earth. If the Federation had not evacuated most of the surrounding people, this outbreak would have caused at least one million casualties, and the disaster would last for hundreds of thousands of years.

Everyone is in deep thought because of this foreseeable future. They are also members of the Federation. Even if their hometown is not here, their sad mood will not change.

This is really a disaster and troubled year.

Just as the captain thought so, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from his side.

"Look, what is that?!"

A soldier stood up. He pointed to the observation gap behind the armored vehicle and exclaimed loudly: "Use the telescope to observe area No. 83! Look!"

Area 83? Isn't that near the crater?

The captain and the other soldiers flashed a trace of doubt in their hearts~www.novelmtl.com~, but they still curiously picked up the binoculars hung around their waists and looked towards the 83rd area.

In the lens, in the golden red lava torrent, there is a huge black shadow lurking, and this black shadow is slowly floating up, and then completely out of the magma, step by step onto a towering cliff.

The hot lava slid across its side, outlining the huge body and strong physique. This is a half-dragon, half-horse, dark, terrifying creature with a string of bright golden crystal nuclei flashing on its chest. With the light like the sun, there are two small bone spurs on both sides of this creature's forelegs, which seem to be the prototype of a pair of wings.

During the continuous eruption of the volcano, a set of red elemental bands began to appear around the creature's body, covering the side of the giant beast like armor, repelling smoke, meteorites and lava.

"...That is...what creature?!"

And a dragon chant that seemed to have covered the eruption of a volcano, passing through time and distance, appeared in everyone's ears.
