I am now the captain of the Pierre. I must prioritize protecting my crew members. The safety of others is secondary...
“Give it, give it, give it!”
She heard a familiar chirping sound, and a dark shadow leaped on the shoulders of the crew members and flew towards her.
Hitzfeld didn't need to do anything himself, Xia Yibing grabbed him out of thin air.
It was that monkey... the Gorillas that Darent brought back.
After confirming that this thing was not carrying any infectious diseases, it was taken back to the ship and raised. After all, it was suspected to have been transformed by the Shadow Lion agent, and no one had the heart to let it fend for itself.
It is indeed very smart and human-like. After coming on board, it got along well with many crew members. The day before yesterday, Hitzfeld saw a group of people surrounding it while having dinner, wanting to teach it how to play cards.
"Chirp! Quack!"
The monkey kept struggling in Xia Yibing's hands, baring its teeth at the girl, looking extremely manic and ferocious.
"This is really weird...why did Jack suddenly become like this?"
A crew member ran over with a gun in hand and apologized, but was also curious about what was going on.
"Don't do that." Hitzfeld stopped Xia Yibing from throwing it down, lowered his head and moved closer to it, and found that as the distance got closer, the little monkey's frenzy was subsiding.
"It doesn't want to hurt me," she finally said. "It wants to stop us! It wants to stop us from going to the palace!"
The crew members looked confused.
What do you mean?
Can a monkey give an early warning?
"Will you help us?" Hitzfeld continued to move closer to the monkey and stroked its head. "You know something, right?"
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" The monkey was stunned, then looked up at the sky frantically.
"What does it mean?"
Torres squeezed through the crowd to see this scene, looked up at the sky, and saw nothing.
Iverria is a port city, and the sky here is exceptionally vast. Especially now that they are standing high up, they can see continuous, large patches of thick white clouds spreading to the horizon, making the sky look incredibly blue.
There really is nothing, what is the little beast talking about?
"Then just keep your eyes on the sky..." Xia Yibing threw the monkey back to the crew member, "Don't be in a daze, keep going!"
She had a bad feeling about wasting a few minutes.
Therefore, she was actually the one who paid the most attention to the movements in the sky among all the people. Even when the team reached the entrance of the main hall, Xia Yibing was still watching the sky.
But there was really no movement.
What threats could there be in the sky?
"summer!"
She heard the girl scream on the steps.
"Down there! Watch your step!"
Warning signs arose, but there was no time to jump, and the collapse had already taken the woman underground.
"Cough cough cough...!"
Xia Yibing adjusted her posture while falling, so this time the fall was not severe. She stood up quickly and suddenly saw a hand reaching out to her.
That was Hitzfeld—the gray-haired girl standing right below the collapsed gap, with a beam of skylight pouring down from above her head, enveloping her.
"Aisun?" Xia Yibing raised her eyes. "You fell down too..."
“Yes.” The girl nodded. “Hurry up… With such a big commotion, I don’t know what happened to Aman and Baliwu!”
This was indeed the most important thing. Xia Yibing had no doubts and reached out to grab her arm, complaining as she moved: "It's all that damn monkey's fault... Is there something wrong with its brain that it mistook the bottom for the top?"
But the next moment, she saw the girl's feet.
Hitzfeld was standing in the beam of light, so every detail of her body was clearly visible. Xia Yibing saw that part of her long skirt was hanging in the middle, revealing a pair of open-toed sandals and her black silk toes bound in the straps.
Reflexively, she looked up at the girl's face.
It was filled with tension, fear, and anxiety, and no matter how hard she looked she couldn't find any flaws.
But look at her toes?
He curled up quietly in his shoes, not moving at all.
Xia Yibing licked her lips with her tongue and did not move her hand forward again.
"summer?"
Hitzfeld's eyes widened, "What are you doing?"
"My hand seems to be dislocated..." Xia Yibing bared her teeth and showed a simple smile, "My foot seems to be sprained too... You have a wooden pole over there, can you pull it out and hand it to me?"
Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes at her for a moment, then nodded.
"of course can."
She turned around and half-knelt down with her back to Xia Yibing.
It was at this moment that the woman jumped up, aimed the gun at her body, and "Bang, bang, bang!" She pulled the trigger desperately, completely smashing her to pieces!
But Hitzfeld was not dead... She turned around while supporting her rotten flesh, and said with a smile: "You are more alert than I thought..."
"monster……!"
Xia Yibing's eyelids twitched wildly.
This damn camouflage ability...
Even the clothes are the same... How is it made?
Fortunately, we have developed Aisuen’s new... um... developed her new "characteristics" in the past few days... otherwise, we would have been in big trouble!
But the monster obviously didn't want to talk to her any more.
The flesh and blood squirmed together, turning into a torrent of flesh and blood that quickly swept towards the woman.

Chapter 71: The Thing That Shook Heaven and Earth
Faced with the strange attacks of monsters, it may be difficult for ordinary people to resist.
If it was a sword, or even a bullet, it could be defended against to some extent, but this strange thing looked like a pile of blood, flesh and mud, which reminded Xia Yibing of the monster she encountered when she went to Talignan.
But I am not the same person I was then...
The woman muttered in her heart, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She reached into the void with her right hand and clenched it tightly. The next moment, she drew out a beam of white light from it.
"Ah!" The bloody mud monster didn't care at first and moved forward recklessly, but after being hit by the chopping sword, it suddenly let out a scream and its body was directly split in two diagonally, with condensed white frost spreading continuously from the broken parts on both sides.
"What is this thing...!" He immediately stared at the knife, only to find that it was not an ordinary ghost.
The Changxia Sword is still so dreamy, whether it is its appearance across the dream world into reality or the results achieved with its first sword, it has never lived up to the legend it embodies.
It became bigger and thicker. The blade no longer had an arc, but formed a rougher trapezoidal right angle at the front. The whole knife exuded a cold air, and at first glance it even made people feel that it was a weapon made of ice crystals.
“This is not a spirit!” The flesh monster screamed and retreated, “How can there be a spirit possessed in Ivanria… No! Who are you?!”
The situation was reversed, and now it was Xia Yibing's turn not to waste time talking to it. The woman would not let this thing go peacefully, she quickly stepped forward, leaning on the top with her left shoulder, and pulled back with her left hand to grasp the handle of the knife. For a short while, the heavy ice knife simply dragged on the ground, as if it was about to crash into the monster's arms.
"Looking for death!" Both halves of the monster's body showed a hideous grin, and the outermost part that had not been frozen by the ice crystals suddenly extended to both sides, forming a barrel of flesh and blood, trying to trap Xia Yibing inside.
"After I eat you, I will read your memory carefully..."
"Crack!"
It was like a bolt of ice thunder exploding in the darkness. The dragging blade left the ground and flew up in the next moment. The woman gritted her teeth and slashed the blade horizontally for a circle. While tearing the surrounding flesh, she exerted force to tighten the handle of the blade again, and resolutely... fiercely... smashed down from directly above!
It is hard to describe the elegance of this knife. In the eyes of the bloody monster, the cold air wrapped around the long knife actually merged into the flying knife light when the blade chopped down, completely covering and sweeping its entire body.
It was completely unable to move... The biting cold froze it; its body, mind, and even soul were all paused at this moment. She even caught a glimpse of a blue spark in the cold air - that was the legendary fire of death!
"boom!"
But in reality, the effect of the battle was... Xia Yibing chopped it to pieces with one knife.
It was really chopped to pieces. The cold air attached to the dead bone ice needles merged into the blade, and the monster was completely frozen after being hit by the blade. The continuous vibration of the subsequent force caused the monster to explode into a handful of ice crystal fragments, which reflected the sunlight and flew in all directions. It looked quite a beautiful sight.
Xia Yibing was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect the knife to be so fierce. She looked up, licked her lips, and unconsciously thought of the curled up black silk feet.
A rope dropped down, and before she could react, the shadow quickly enlarged in the light.
It was well known that there was a blind spot when exiting the tunnel, and nothing could be seen clearly. Xia Yibing had a similar experience standing in the darkness below, looking at the wellhead above, so she didn't realize it at all, and by the time she wanted to hide, it was too late.
"puff!"
She was stepped on the face by the black silk feet in sandals that she had been dreaming about, and then kicked to the ground.
"summer!"
Hitzfeld was shocked when she came down. She didn't expect the landing to be so precise... This... She just slid down the rope...
"I'm fine..." Xia Yibing quickly got up and rubbed her sore nose with her hand, "Well... Changxia is quite useful now, I have to thank you for this..."
She suddenly thought of one thing, that is, after Hitzfeld became the mysterious master and mastered the "Dead Bone Ice Needle", the two of them had only practiced their "fusion combat skills" a few times in actual combat.
Although she could use the excuse that "No. 221 Iris Street doesn't have a yard for practice like No. 12 Flo Street", she is the director of security. If she wants to practice, there is no way she can't find a suitable place.
So I didn’t take it too seriously…
I felt that the experience gained from the combined attack against the wandering spirits last time was enough, so I didn’t think about practicing again. During that time, I was busy tasting Aisuen…
"What is this?" Hitzfeld didn't notice the change in her tone, his eyes fixed on the ground, where a large amount of blood, flesh and ice crystals were scattered.
"It can turn into something like blood mud..." Xia Yibing briefly summarized the battle, and then his expression became serious, "But the most dangerous thing is that it can actually turn into your appearance!"
"It's not surprising that a monster like flowing water can change its shape." Hitzfeld pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling a little scared.
Just by looking at the miserable situation on the ground, she could imagine the dangerous situation the woman would be in after coming down... She could only say that it was fortunate that the Dead Bone Ice Needle could impart mystery to the Changxia Sword and achieve an effect similar to that of a spirit, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with such an enemy with just cutting attacks.
The others also slid down the rope quickly. Half of them came down, intending to rescue the two people and explore underground if there was space below. The other half explored the upper part of the palace as originally planned.
"Torres and the nun are a team." Madeline reported to the woman, holding the rifle tightly. "Boss, give the orders!"
Although she was basically convinced of Hitzfeld's position in her heart and recognized her as the leader of the expedition team, Madeline's habits developed over the years were hard to change, and she still instinctively relied on her immediate superior when things were tense.
Director Imaar has only been in office for a short time, but he is still the director!
The directors of Shadow Lion have to go through layers of review and testing before they can take up their positions. They are definitely more trustworthy than the little detectives.
Madeline didn't say it, but she had a vague idea of this.
"Listen to Aisuen." Xia Yibing shook her head, clenched the handle of the ice blade with her right hand, and took a "Beren rifle" with her left hand.
Twenty rounds of bullets, fired rapidly, and with a short gun body, it is perfect for suppressing fire in a narrow space.
Madeline and the others were watching the battle situation in amazement, and some were staring at the ice skates. Hitzfeld took the opportunity to pull out a slender bottle from his chest, twisted the bottle mouth, and sprinkled some "powder" on the ice crystals and broken meat on the ground.
The reaction of the minced meat was extremely violent - the flesh and blood stained with the powder began to tremble and wriggle even in its frozen state, twisting irregularly as if heated by microwaves, and finally exploded with a "pop" - this time it was completely blown into powder.
"What is this?" Xia Yibing frowned.
"Something that is poison to the mysterious main system." Hitzfeld said briefly.
"You are familiar with this thing... Remember Sheena?"
"Sunflower?"
Xia Yibing thought of a possibility.
It is true that this flower is a legend, but since someone has encountered it, it means that it is not impossible to find.
"Sunflower pollen mixed with my blood." Hitzfeld lowered his voice to ensure that only the two of them could hear. "I took a part of the clone and did an experiment in the laboratory. The effect was the same... It is confirmed to be the water monster."
This was nothing surprising, but while confirming this, they were also certain of another thing - the enemy must have been alarmed.
Whatever it was, "Alesia" or not, it knew they were coming.
It was not a good idea to act separately again. Considering that the frontal combat power of the team above was a bit weak, they sent one person to climb up the rope and let Cybertrooper lead the team back to the square below, which meant changing its mission from "exploring the palace" to "preparing for support."
As for the exploration mission, it is enough to leave it to this team.
There is another mystery in the world under the landslide. There is a secret passage hidden here, but it doesn't look like it is for people to walk through.
