Sword and Magic and Taxi

Zhao Mai stepped out of the edge of the soil and stepped on the solid and deserted ground again. A feeling of suffocation immediately tightened his throat. Since transforming into a Z-worm, he has always been able to get enough supplements from the surrounding material and energy to support everything needed for physical activity. No matter how bad the situation is, even if he is trapped in a "non-existent space", he will not feel suffocated.

He quickly took a step back and stood on the soil again. Through the fiber-like pipes in the soil, he was supplied again, and the suffocation disappeared. Zhao Mai panted hard, like a whale fighting a giant squid in the deep sea, and finally resurfaced.

The boundary line under the feet is composed of purple soil, which is very clear on the gray-white ground. One side of the dividing line is birth, and the other is death. Even if it is a Z bug, there is no way to go further. On the side of the line, not only can it not get any supplement from the surrounding environment, but its own energy will also be lost quickly. Just taking one step will exhaust the energy of flying a light-year under normal conditions.

Zhao Mai concentrated and found that it was difficult for him to open the space of psychic powers, at most he could only tear open an egg-sized hole and take out the blue crystal from it. While chewing the food, he got information from the surrounding soil. The surrounding environment consumes too much energy. The soil can barely maintain its own shape, and has no spare capacity to form neural signals and return information. Therefore, Zhao Mai is also the first time to understand this "border of life and death."

"It's really amazing that you can get here," Shade Dragon took advantage of Zhao Mai's weakness to break free of the blue flame, slowly drifted to the other side of the non-breathing soil, and then began to expand rapidly. It is completely unaffected by this extreme environment, and the speed of recovery is no different from other places. "You are the second creature in the multiverse that came here after me. From the perspective of adapting to the environment, I am inferior to you, but unfortunately there is only one place that can adapt to this environment, so only I can succeed. , You have no chance. Zhao Mai, welcome to the wilderness of the multiverse. I call this the boundary of nothingness."

Zhao Mai raised his head with difficulty, his skin continued to squirm, and the Z insect source continued to deform. He received the information retained in the soil and tried to adapt to the environment by changing the form. Shadow Dragon looked at him with interest, one to encourage, one to mock, and the other to remain silent. Its size has returned to half of its normal state, from being suspended in the air to landing on the ground, and its four claws are constantly raking on the gray-white wilderness.

"There is nothing here that can be used for you. Matter in the general sense does not exist. You quietly this barren land is full of neutron dust, not even the smallest hydrogen, let alone other materials." Shadow The dragon pointed to the distant horizon: "Over there, the situation is worse, all matter will disappear, and the most basic state of'existence' will be completely lost. Do you know what is true nothingness and destruction?"

Zhao Mai did not answer. In addition to maintaining a vigilance, he focused his other energy on adjusting the state of Z Worm cells. Those black shadows at the end of the horizon are undoubtedly Nexus, or Nexus material, the basic material that forms the body of the shadow dragon. The space where the headquarters of the Alliance of the Rings is located is surrounded by Naquus, but no one has ever noticed it or no one has ever mentioned it.

"Don't try in vain. You are a creature. No matter how strong your ability is, you will only be a creature. You always need the surrounding environment to support yourself." The shadow dragon has almost recovered, and the six wings have already Unfold, fan slowly in the air. "The Alliance of the Rings must die, but you don't necessarily. Whether it's the natural world or the multiverse, isn't the rule that the strong will join forces and eat the weak? You can't destroy me, so why waste energy on me?"

"Because I want to surpass you." Zhao Mai raised his head, blue light flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, took a step back, exhaled slowly, and then extinguished the blue flame on his body.

His hair was hanging down, there was no longer any psychic lightning, and the peristalsis of his skin stopped. He was like an ordinary human. "Biology? Nothingness? These are not contradictory! Even Nexus is part of the natural world, why can't I do it?" Zhao Mai snorted, first transforming himself into a ghost state.

The pale skin that represents frost is full of wrinkles, and the sky-blue pupils and milk-white eyeballs rotate in the dehydrated eye sockets. Starting from his fingertips, black began to spread, and the energy cluster formed by shadows replaced the blue flames that could grab the black spectrum. Zhao Mai's body gradually transformed into black shadows and spread along the palm of his hand.

"Sure enough, there is another layer in this world, which can only be seen with the eyes of Nexus." Zhao Mai grabbed it in the void, and the black spectrum was directly pulled out by him like a ribbon. "You use this kind of thing to keep reorganizing, right? Are there many more at the end of the horizon?"

The shadow dragon widened his eyes, and the three heads roared together: "How is this possible! How did you take this step?! You are a creature, how can the force of nature become Nexus?"

"Hey, it's so amazing!" Zhao Mai said with a hippie smile, and suddenly leaped back, pulling the distance between himself and the shadow dragon to more than 50 meters, and then beckoned: "I said You are much stronger, and I can do what I say. Your Nexus state is not difficult to learn, but it is the opposite of creation and an application of black spectrum. I will fully grasp it. Of course, that is not right now."

Zhao Mai took a deep breath, his arm broke from his elbow, and the two shadowed forearms fell to the ground, turning into a black sludge-like substance. He quickly lifted the dead spirit state of the strange ghost, regenerating new arms, and at this time the sludge material on the ground had eroded the surrounding soil.

"This thing is still too dangerous. I can bear it, but my family is choking." Zhao Mai looked at the shadow dragon, then nodded vigorously, "Yes, I think you are a ready-made example. If I become like you Although I can’t die, I guess I can’t change it back."

The shadow dragon appeared hesitant, standing on the edge of the soil, shaking his head. It looked at Zhao Mai for a while, and the sludge material on the ground for a while, its wings drooping and its tail hanging on the ground. After a while, it tentatively stepped onto the soil.

Xi Yang didn't have the powerful immunity of Zhao Mai, and quickly withered and died under the contact of the shadow dragon. Zhao Mai waved his hand, Xi Yang kept squirming, separating to the sides, giving way to a passage. "They won't hinder you, and they have no power to hinder you. They will get out of the way you go. Of course, if you are really bored and want to destroy them, it's up to you, I don't care. You just slow down Slowly go from here, I will go back and continue to study the secrets of this darkened state. See you next time."

After speaking, Zhao Mai stretched out the bone wings from behind, the crystal-like spike poked in the air, but there was no space crack. He sighed and shook his head: "This broken place can't even use the rules of space. It can only rely on two legs. Fortunately, my speed is far above you, so bye bye!"

He backed away as he spoke, and the Shadow Dragon stepped on four legs and continued to walk forward, at the same speed as before. It can be seen that the Shadow Dragon is still immersed in shocked emotions, and has not yet made up his mind on what to do next. It walked and stopped, and then stopped for a long time in front of the sludge material that Zhao Mai's broken arm had turned into.

Zhao Mai got farther and farther away, and gradually flew up, then tore up the space when the space rules basically recovered, jumped in and left. After he left, some slender eye stalks gradually emerged on the soil, about the same thickness and length as the little finger, with a fingernail-sized eyeball at the top. They secretly stare at the shadow dragon in the distance, and transmit information through the soil at any time.

The people in the alliance headquarters kept watching the broadcast of the battle. When Zhao Mai flew into the distance with the spherical shadowed dragon wreckage, huge cheers broke out on the scene. "His Majesty the Dragon King is as strong as ever, this alliance is true iron! The shadow dragon moves very slowly, no matter what it wants to do, just hit it far away!"

Angel Soka followed everyone's cheers and applauds, with a slight smile on her eyebrows, but there was no sense of "victory" or "joy" deep in her heart. As the elder of the Alliance, Device Zero will not reset her memory when looking back, so she is the only person on the battle command site who has watched the entire battle.

Zhao Mai was knocked into the air time and time again, and every time he suffered a huge physical trauma, he would not feel well mentally. If calculated according to the score, Zhao Mai’s 20,000 defeat for the dragon’s defeat is not a victory; the shockwave of the battle destroyed the Alliance headquarters thousands of times, and it is not a victory; the alliance has not yet been Being able to find out the information of the shadow dragon is not a victory; and the shadow dragon seems to be able to recover indefinitely, and will eventually come back, absolutely not a victory.

"Check the situation at the headquarters and treat possible wounded outside." Soka said to the people around: "Let the scout ship go in the direction where Zhao Mai left, try to find him, look at the situation there, and report back at any time. Then... Evacuate the people at the alliance headquarters as much as possible. It is best to leave only combat personnel and the most basic service personnel here."

One sentence quickly cooled the warm atmosphere in the situation room, and everyone seemed to smell an unusual breath. There has never been such a thing as the evacuation of the headquarters in the history of the Alliance of the Rings. Even if the Nexus army besieged the headquarters a million years ago, the situation was hundreds of times more critical than during the Z Worm's Five Hundred Years War, and it never happened. "Why?" someone asked.

"We did not win, the enemy will definitely come back, and our only hope is Zhao Mai? This is obviously not safe enough. Once hit by the black breath of the shadow dragon, the power of Nexus will completely annihilate a person's existence, even Backtracking can’t be saved.” Soka frowned and said in a stern tone: “Don’t you understand what the state of war means? In accordance with the highest combat readiness, evacuation of non-combatants is the most basic thing. Unless confirmed The Kuosi Shadow Dragon is completely wiped out, otherwise the highest combat readiness will be maintained!

After speaking, she turned her head and walked to the first department, preparing to personally supervise the search for the intelligence of the Nexus Shadow Dragon. How did that monster reach the Alliance Headquarters space? Only by understanding this can we better guard against it. Zhao Mai actually wanted to understand this truth in an instant, and he had to be reminded by him in hindsight.

Nexus, Black Spectrum, Shadow Dragon, and Sanctuary, when these phenomena are concentrated, it is much easier to find clues from them than before. Theories such as the dark web indeed seem to be smoke bombs released by the church, which are theoretical time bombs hidden in the research department of the alliance. These wrong "technological tree branches", like road signs pointing to the wrong place, are pre-arranged to mislead the alliance and waste their energy. And all this is probably to buy time for that shadow dragon.

"If it weren't for Zhao Mai, the Alliance Headquarters would not be able to stand it this time." Soka muttered to himself. She knew very well in her heart that although the zero device and the power of backtracking might allow the headquarters to always exist, it would certainly not be possible to organize the shadow dragon to control and isolate the external space channel of the alliance headquarters. No matter whether it is elements traversing the network or the internal network, they cannot be used in front of the power of Nexus, and it will definitely become a dead silence here.

Device zero is not a panacea, and it is impossible to remain effective forever. Poor Norton has been staying at the core of Device Zero for maintenance, and can also act as a hub and command when necessary. It has secretly warned Soka many times that it may cause irreversible damage if it continues to use Device Zero frequently. Gradually accumulated, the zero device may also be damaged. "This is the last and most critical moment of insurance. It is not a conventional weapon that can be used at any time, it is not designed for this purpose!"

In short, the situation is not optimistic, and Soka can only hold this situation in his heart for the time being. She came to the first department and watched the staff busy without saying a word, looking for clues the size of a needle in the ocean-like data. The silent pressure of the angel elders obviously improved work efficiency and inspired the "enthusiasm" of the staff. Soon, people from the research department also joined in, using the latest filtering algorithm to summarize the information.

A report was delivered to Soka, which listed eight possibilities of the origin of the Shadow Dragon. "This is the extreme of the algorithm, and then you have to investigate on the spot." A researcher said: "I suggest starting the investigation from the nearest time, at least it is more likely to draw a conclusion, whether it is right or wrong. There are two calculations The possibility of "is too far away from today, and no one in the multiverse can travel that far in time."

"Then do what can be done first, and mobilize all resources to this project first~www.NovelMTL.com~ Soka clenched his fists and said: "The shadow dragon is our biggest threat, and it can be regarded as the only one at present. , The real threat. We have reached the key to life and death, and behind us is the entire multiverse. We have no way to retreat, and we will not retreat! "

Just as she was speaking, a crack in the space behind her tore open. Queen Blade stuck her head out of it, poked the angel's shoulder with her bone wings, and hooked her finger: "There is something very important that needs to be opened. Yes, come with me. Don't worry, if there is anything in the league, I can send you back in a second."

Soka nodded. She wanted to know about Zhao Mai's situation, so she arranged it in three seconds and followed the Queen of Blades.

"Zhao Mai's condition is not good. The old man and Iluvita are looking after him. The transcendant can't go far or away, so you can only move and move the position." Queen Blade dragged Soka out of the space crack, carrying She played an old stone steps covered with moss and walked up the hillside. The bottom of the stone steps is in the clouds and mist, and not far from the upper part, there is a wooden door with black background and white nails, with the words "eight sceneries" written on it.

"What happened to him, can he fight? How is the Shadow Dragon?"

"Let's talk after seeing him if he hasn't been roasted yet."
