Chapter 1730: Standing on the top from the beginning (below)
"The airdrop location is thirty or forty kilometers away." After a brief pause, Mishuer listened to the information in the communication and added, "The number is twenty, plus the ground teams rushing over from various places, it should be
It’s enough for us to delay Cassia.”
"Whether it is successful or not depends on the final result of Nicholls before we can make a decision. This will be the only effective basis for us to face our target Cassia later."
"In addition, I would like to trouble Miss Komishur to inform the other three dragon knights on the fleet to prepare for battle. The enemy team's information should be synchronized with Cassia, so the enemy should be one step faster than us." Sass.
Er never moved away from the vision connected with the dragon. "In a frontal battle on the ground, judging now, without Mr. Zero and the experimental subject, there is really a certain danger. The speed, strength and flexibility are all top-notch, with the
Taking into account the existing intelligence and Cassia's own rich experience, this is definitely not a battle that can be easily dealt with."
But Mishuer replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "The target is someone who has passed the assessment of knight attendants, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with. In terms of the intensity of competition, you dragon knights will definitely not be able to appreciate it because of your status as someone who came from a military school.
All kinds of things that Cassia has experienced. Not only us, but also Cassia, they are all excellent candidates stacked up from a group of people through "death". In terms of judgments and attitudes towards various things, Captain Sasir
, you can indeed learn a lot of useful things from us."
On the other side, Jeremy, who had already evacuated several thousand meters, received a call from Mishuer. He shook his head and sighed: "You shouldn't have come down." Jeremy regretted it. He would never let himself fight Cassia head-on.
.
"Don't worry, it's just delaying. No matter what, I'll just follow him." Mishuer comforted her, saying that after seeing the breath that spanned thousands of meters, she felt exactly the same as Jeremy.
"Of course I'm not afraid of procrastination and stalking. What I'm afraid of is that when we are following behind the target, we suddenly find that the target has stopped moving or disappeared. He either stands there waiting for us to get closer, or suddenly appears in front of us.
This is a scary situation. You know how scary the surgeon is in the scaly state. He rushes into the encirclement regardless of the consequences. At that time, you can only hope that you are not too close to the target." Take a deep breath.
Jeremy calmed down and said, "I will ask someone to take care of the experimental subject team. You and Sasir will observe carefully. If there are special circumstances, remember to inform me at any time. Of course, if you receive an order to retreat, please do so as soon as possible."
transmit signal."
"Troublesome." Jeremy cursed as he put away the communicator, then identified the direction and led the team to the area where the experimental subject was about to land.

"I heard that this state called 'scaling' is the most top-notch surgical ability in your Saint Dorag Empire. To use it, you not only need talent, but also a huge amount of resources and time.
The entire learning process is accompanied by high risks, and the slightest carelessness will cause alienation of the body?" Nichols took a deep breath, twisted his neck, and looked at Cassia, who had already withdrawn the revolver.
"Indeed, it is one of the top surgical development projects. The difficulty and resources mean that those who want to use it must be people with strong talents." Cassia admitted generously.
"Then do you think I have talent?" Nichols' laughter made Cassia smack her lips, but he continued, "You know, this so-called 'scaling' ability, as a dragon knight
, with a little practice, you can master it proficiently. To a certain extent, there is no time limit for us dragon knights to use this state."
"Well,,, then I have to thank you, respected Dragon Knight. You let me get another good piece of information."
"You're welcome. Anyway, you will disappear forever with this information soon." This time, it was Nichols' turn to wave his hand, looking magnanimous, "As a polite response, I need to give you
Time to rest, or give you time to enter the 'scaled' state?"
Cassia shook her head and explained patiently: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me, just be yourself. I am in an indifferent mood, and if I am in the scaly state, I can enter it at any time. The process is very fast. In the blink of an eye, the scales
Just cover my whole body. If you look at me like this now, well, let's put it this way, I have to find a way to give you more time, because if I am in the scaly state, you really can't last very long.
Time. We are both in the scaly state, and there is a visible gap in our performance between you and me."
"Whether you have the ability to scale up is not the only criterion for judging strength." Cassia's last words were very slow, "In summary, you will not become stronger because of the scale status, so you only need to deal with
Without the dragon yourself, this state is completely enough."
Cassia's choked laughter was full of anger, and Cassia responded to Nichols's angry smile with a sincere smile. What he said was all the truth, without any lies.
"Yes,,," Cassia wanted to say a few more words, trying to get as much information as possible. But the other party had already jumped up from the dragon's back, a vertical jump of thirty-four meters, and suddenly landed on the
on the ground.
"The soil has only sunk a few centimeters, and it seems that the weight does not exceed 300. By analogy, the muscle strength and bone density are only at the upper-middle level, not as good as the surgeon who pushed the bone hardening to the final stage." Cassia still said.
Without moving, "The worry just now is unnecessary. You dragon knights only have a layer of skin in the scaly state. I have no idea why the 'scaling' ability has become one of the top surgical development projects in the empire."
For Nichols, the distance of about 500 meters is just a breath or two. The high-temperature heat flowing through his body makes him feel very comfortable. These are manifestations of overflowing and dissipating power. The target is getting closer and closer to him.
When the opponent was still standing on the edge of the bulge, Nichols stopped thinking about it and completely allowed himself to enter a state of high concentration during the battle.
"I think it's best for you to wait until your dragon has the ability to move before launching an attack." Cassia did not forget to remind him, but when he saw the enemy rushing towards him at high speed, he finally sighed.
The black shadow leaped, just as Cassia expected. Nichols didn't explode at his ultimate speed until he got close. In the blink of an eye, he was beside him, and punched his head hard with a punch that broke the air.
The body just took a step back. Cassia simply dodged the punch, but the price he paid was that the torn trousers were completely shattered into pieces under the instantly bulging muscles. The wind whizzed past the side of Cassia's head, and Nikhil
When Si saw that his punch failed, he immediately turned his fist into a claw, bucked it towards the weak-looking neck, and kicked the opponent with one foot at the same time.
Cassia's figure suddenly distorted, and before a moment of delay, he continued to move, successfully dodging subsequent attacks. The air in front of him was surging, and Nichols had indeed greatly improved in strength and speed after transforming into scales. After all, the dragon in his body
The humanoid tissue truly comes from the dragon itself. It can be seen that at this moment, one-third of his body is directly carved out of the dragon.
The short bursts in the air continued, and Nichols' subsequent attacks became faster, but after one or two breaths, none of the attacks could really touch Cassia's body. They all failed, and they only hit
The afterimage left by Cassia's movement almost out of thin air.
"Ah,,," Nichols retreated a few meters away and shouted loudly. The black scales all over his body were raised at the same angle, and countless high-temperature heat streams spurted out, distorting the surrounding air. Then the raised black scales shrank together in unparalleled tacit understanding.
, at this moment, Nichols' body that was nearly half inflated suddenly shrank. This was like the moment when a balloon was popped. When Nichols' body shrank to a normal size, there was no transition process, just like the inflated body was here.
Burned out of thin air at once.
More than a dozen wisps of white smoke appeared all over his body, and Nichols' body temperature increased further. It was estimated to be 70 or 80 degrees at this moment, but there was still a big gap between Cassia's normal body temperature of 100 degrees.
"Buzz,,," the black scales vibrated at high frequency in a very small range and made multiple buzzing sounds, and a high-temperature heat stream that distorted the air spurted out from Nichols's mouth. It was a gesture that looked like exhaustion of physical strength, Nichols
Si arched his body like a beast, his hands almost touching the ground, and turned into a miniature baby dragon without a thorny tail and wings.
"Boom!" The soil under Nichols' feet splashed back more than ten meters, and the ground formed a pit of one or two meters under the huge power of his legs. He turned into a black flowing shadow, which was visually ignored at this moment.
Closing the distance in space, he suddenly appeared in front of Cassia, turned his body and swept past with one kick.
The air exploded during the squeeze, and Cassia crossed his hands to block the kick in front of him. The power was quickly transmitted, and the clothes on Cassia's back immediately became fragments, and the resulting impact used him as the radiating point, toward the rear, and appeared
The trumpet spread out, bringing with it a gust of wind.
Cassia's feet had sunk into the ground, and the soil was submerged up to her calves. One kick failed, and after another kick, Nichols' body seemed to have become thinner and he moved one after another. The continuous horizontal kicks were connected smoothly without any gaps. There was a popping sound.
Stacked together to produce violent air explosions, Nichols' attack frequency became faster and faster. The huge force penetrated Cassia's body and dissipated to the surrounding visible wave impact that completely enveloped it. A three-fourth path was plowed out on the ground.
When entering a meter-long ravine, Cassia completely sank into the mud below her knees.
"Buzz,,," the buzzing sound resounded again, with the frequency almost doubling. Nichols stood up straight, and when he punched out, all the black scales on his arms and body were completely raised, and high-temperature jets
Spurting. The ground under the feet of the two exploded immediately, soil mixed with broken tree roots and sawdust flying. Cassia flew ten meters away under the punch. He turned around in the air, his body immediately returned to balance, and landed on a
When it landed on a fallen ancient tree, it immediately moved nearly two meters sideways.
Nichols followed closely behind, and the next moment, Cassia's impact point directly exploded a deep pit about two meters in diameter, and all the tree trunks there turned into fresh sawdust that shot out in all directions.
Cassia did not stop at all, using the fallen ancient trees around as landing points, and moved flexibly. However, at this moment, she could no longer distance herself from Nichols, who looked like a beast after turning into a beast. Whether it was attacking, pursuing or moving at high speed,
Nichols is no longer standing, and is almost a beast on all fours. With a violent aura all over his body, his flexibility has increased far more than his speed and strength.
The black flowing shadow danced on the ancient tree, like a stream of light that was constantly refracted. Dozens of turns, the black stream of light caught up with Cassia's afterimage, spread out its sharp claws and slashed away, but Cassia suddenly turned sideways,
The clenched fist unfolded, and a blazing white light immediately bloomed, covering everything around it. The flash bomb failed to affect the black shadow's movement at all, and could not even cause a slight delay to it.
Cassia was thrown away from the bright light that had not yet disappeared, twisting her body in the air, using the attack power of the black shadow following her, adjusting her posture and landing smoothly.
"Okay, the test is over." Cassia opened her mouth and said calmly in the language of the Flame Alliance. When she turned around on the spot, the black shadow's punch missed. Just as she was about to turn around and swing the punch, a thunderous sound rang in her ears.
.Immediately he looked away, and Nichols realized that the distance between him and Cassia suddenly widened. When he reacted, his body flew upside down and landed on the ground. He took several steps back to stabilize his balance. There was a feeling of inhibition in his throat.
It was only at this moment that he felt the unstoppable warmth and blood foam spilling out from between his sharp teeth that Nichols noticed the pain in his chest.
After coughing a few times, Nichols looked at Cassia. When he saw several wounds torn open on his hands and feet, exposing bright red muscles, he took a few deep breaths. The next moment, Nichols
His perception was completely condensed, and Cassia suddenly disappeared in front of him. The ground shook slightly, and Cassia fell beside him. Nichols quickly defended, but an elbow was already pressed against his neck. Nichols' upper body
First it bent to one side, and then flew straight out under the blow.
After breaking several tree roots one after another, Nichols tried to adjust his body. Cassia, who was chasing after him, punched his flying body to stop him forcefully. The bombardment made a dent in the ground.
Nichols exhaled uncontrollably, with a large mouthful of blood foam overflowing from his sharp teeth. Then he was shoveled out of the pit by Cassia's kick, and flew towards his dragon. After landing on the ground and rolling several times, Nichols
After Si stood up, he didn't care what was behind him, rushed straight towards the dragon, climbed on its back and stood firm, and then looked at Cassia, who was not chasing after him a hundred meters away.
"As I said roughly just now, you dragon knights only have a layer of skin in the scaly state. I have no idea why the 'scaling' ability has become one of the top surgical development projects in the empire." Cassia continued.
After retreating a few dozen meters, he clenched his fist and his bones crackled, "It seems you didn't put it in your head."
"However, I was really surprised at first to see how easily you could rely on dragons to enter the scaly state. Although in the past, most of the time, my process of entering the 'scaled' state was similar to yours in principle."
Cassia exhaled and looked at her hands with torn skin, "Here, first of all, thank you for letting me get some new information again."
"I don't know if it's correct, please confirm. First, after the huge body shrinks, high-temperature jets begin to overflow. This is a manifestation of the overflow of energy and then the release of heat. I understand this very well. Because we
The energy storage method at the current stage does not support the full use of these things, and some will always be wasted. The source of your energy is the dragon tissue that enters your body. Those dragon tissues are actively decomposing, and this process
Somewhat like the 'withering' phenomenon of Imperial surgeons. But what happens in your body is an active process and can be controlled by your will. Of course, if there is consumption, there will be replenishment. Combined with your sentence of 'no time limit' not long ago
If your body becomes thinner, it's better to call it 'animal transformation'. There should be a time limit for the animal transformation state. Once the energy is exhausted, it cannot be maintained."
"However, I think as long as the dragon is by your side, you can continue the 'beast transformation' and scaly state indefinitely by contacting the dragon again after a period of time and allowing the dragon tissue to enter the body again.
?This is the action you are making at the moment. Although you hide it very well, it has no effect on me."
Seeing that Nichols did not answer, Cassia continued: "The second point, this is what I found strange at the beginning, and it is also the explanation of my own words. Your body's strength and foundation are very weak, so I think your dynamic vision
Probably can't keep up with the enhanced speed. I also observed it during the battle, because during the perception, whether your sight or perception, the time to lock on me is intermittent, not continuous. After testing it, it was the flash bomb just now, which confirmed
My guess is that it also fits the title of your dragon knight. In the scaly state, within a certain range, you can probably share the sight of the dragon without direct contact with the dragon, right? I don’t know other than that, you
There is something else that dragons have always shared."
"In addition, the most important point is that in addition to the super defensive power, the function of scale formation is to increase the body's basic strength and speed. But your foundation is too weak, resulting in the enhancement even after entering the scale state.
, but the base value is too small, so even if the enhancement is multiplicative, the final increase result you get is still not good. In the empire, one of the important reasons why scaling is a top-level development project is that there are people who can develop it, even if it only relies on
All basic abilities can be at the top position. In addition to this time, the development of scaling ability has many pre-development projects. This is a systematic and huge ability, not something you can simply get.
Comparable."
"So what if you know this information? Sometimes knowing too much will cause a psychological burden on yourself and bring more despair." Nichols jumped off the dragon again, took a deep breath, exhaled, and soothed his body, "You didn't respond.
That is to say, if you want to kill me, you have no other way except the breath you just breathed not long ago. As long as you are around the dragon, the injuries you just caused to me can be recovered immediately." Black Scale Micro
As he moved, heat surged from Nichols' body again. The energy he consumed was not a burden at all compared to dragons.
"There are many ways, it just needs to be tested. Next, I will let you know what method it is." Cassia smiled, and then the afterimage disappeared, and then a translucent human figure that was knocked away appeared in the air.
