When the steam bell of the blacksmith shop rang for the third time, Chu Ye was polishing the newly cast finger tiger with an alloy file.
Mars splashed on the exposed robotic arm, and the neural synchronization module was beating and showing [Pain Blocking Module is in operation].
He stared at the fleeting orange-red light spots, and suddenly felt that even the explosion of fireworks was like a layer of tempered glass.
"The hound said you were looking for live samples of the Cthulhu species?"
The man leaning on the door frame lifted up the gas mask, and the mechanical prosthesis on his left eye was shining with a faint blue scanning light.
The six-barrel shotgun hanging around his waist was engraved with Sanskrit, and the butt stock was tied with iron chains to half of the deformed tentacles - the thing was still twitching nervously.
Chu Ye immersed the quenched finger tiger into coolant, and the white mist evaporated by liquid nitrogen appeared in the system prompt: [Eagle Eye (Hunter System LV.31) bioelectric fluctuation analysis is completed, and the probability of hostility is 7%].
He shook the ice slag in his hand: "Can your tracker locate the night dire individual?"
"It is two different things to be able to locate and hunt." Hawkeye threw a dark red crystal core over. The moment Chu Ye reached out to catch it, a scarlet warning exploded on the retina: [The residue of old family members was detected, with a pollution degree of 82%] .
The fine flesh whiskers suddenly drilled out of the surface of the crystal nucleus, but when they touched his mechanical fingers, they let out a baby crying scream.
"Three Hundred Spirit Crystals Deposit." The hunter turned around and raised his cloak. "Arriving at the rotten border before dawn, it will never be time to go."
As the suspension locomotive ran over the mutant vines, Chu Ye stared at the pollution index that was jumping on the dashboard.
The car's AI suddenly switched to a sharp female voice: "Warning, three kilometers ahead enter the cognitive filter failure area, it is recommended to turn on..." Before he finished speaking, Hawkeye had pulled off the voice module and threw it out of the window.
"Remember three iron laws." The hunter filled the shotgun with a silver bullet engraved with Tai Chi diagrams. "Don't look directly at the shadow of the tree canopy for more than three seconds, don't believe in the coordinates of the safety zone that suddenly appeared, and..." He glanced at him. The black iron short sword that shook slightly around Chu Ye's waist, "Don't let the weapon touch the blood of more than 200CC of grammatical organisms."
The boundary marker at the entrance of the forest suddenly twisted into a flesh-and-blooded monument, with thousands of human faces bulging on the surface.
Chu Ye felt his temples beating, and the system interface automatically popped up: [Memetic pollution was detected, and the memory furnace filtration protocol was activated].
Those wailing faces suddenly turned into data fragments, reorganized on his retina into tactical analysis diagrams.
"Follow." Hawkeye's mechanical eye turned and made a gear choke. "If you step on the wrong step, I will only take your skull as a positioning beacon."
The humus exploded under the military boots and felt like it crushed countless eyeballs.
Chu Ye stared at the flashing purple light spots on the hologram and suddenly found that his breathing frequency was forcibly locked at 11 times per minute - this is the new [Combat Steady State Protocol] added by the system.
He touched his left chest and the heartbeat sensor showed 42 times per minute.
"Stop!" Hawkeye suddenly raised his left hand wrapped around the talisman.
The biochip behind the hunter's neck burst out with an electric arc, intertwining it in the air to form a Bagua array diagram.
Chu Ye's system interface synchronously pops up an alarm: [Phase offset was detected, spatial curvature outliers break through the threshold].
The moment the ground cracked, Chu Ye saw the truth at the data level - it was not a crack, but countless overlapping oral cavity.
Hawkeye threw out the hook and lock gun while falling, but the alloy anchor head was chewed into metal residue the next moment.
"Junior rookie dares..." The hunter's curse was cut off by the deafening buzzing.
Chu Ye activates cell regeneration protocol in free fall, and captures key frequency segments when eardrum heals.
When he increased the nerve synchronization rate to 120%, the surging flesh walls suddenly became transparent, revealing the beating purple core in the center.
[Memory furnace matching successfully: No. CTH - 092 "Void Gastric Sac", Countdown to 3 seconds for weakness exposure]
Chu Ye stepped back and forth with the mucus-covered flesh wall, and the black iron short knife accurately penetrated into the core with the assistance of the system.
The bursting pus was broken down by the regeneration protocol before it touched his skin, but the retina suddenly became blood-colored - a warning direct projection onto the visual nerve: [The human nature index dropped to 61%, the emotional suppression program was in standby].
"Interesting." Hawkeye wrapped the molecular thread around the dying flesh wall and climbed up. The mechanical eye launched a full scan of him for the first time. "Is that trick just now reading Black Wind's hunting memory?"
Chu Ye shook off the protoplasmic mucus on the blade and watched the gradually solidified debris turn into luminescent ore.
He suddenly noticed an abnormal phenomenon: those crystal clusters that should have grown in disorder were arranged on the ground as arrows pointing deep into the forest.
Chu Ye's five fingers inserted into the luminous crystal cluster of the wreckage, and the inter-finger nerve interface instantly connected to the spinal database.
Retinal projection pops up a series of data: [Soul Forging Protocol Activation].
The crystal clusters soaked in protoplasmic mucus suddenly climbed along his robotic arm into precision gear sets as if they were alive.
"Five seconds!" He roared at the system in the sea of consciousness, and the hydraulic pump on his left arm bulged with blue veins.
The soul fire talisman parasitized on the mechanical bones began to spiral up. From the perspective of Hawkeye, the entire left arm of the rookie turned into a furnace hammer.
The ground suddenly raised a 360-degree flesh membrane barrier, and the secondary organ of the Void Gastric Sac began to reborn.
Chu Ye jumped into the air while stepping on the jet module, and the nerve synchronization rate soared, turning the world into a grid-like perspective model - he saw seven energy nodes pulsating regularly under the flesh membrane.
"Lock!" As the forging hammer hit the ground, the soul fire burned through the humus layer along the track laid by the crystal cluster.
Those luminescent ores melt into liquid chains in the flames, piercing into seven energy nodes accurately.
System prompts flashing wildly: [Forging Successfully: Cthulhu Bonding Device (Temporary) LV.2].
Hawkeye suddenly threw out three thunder talismans, but was grabbed by Chu Ye with his mechanical arm in the air.
"The direction of Kun position, the vibration level is seventh level!" The rookie's roar was filled with metal resonance, and the thunder talisman was shot into the flesh membrane in the southeast corner.
The entire trap array diagram suddenly lit up the sealing spell intertwined by Sanskrit and binary, freezing the regenerated flesh membrane into amber-shaped crystals.
"Fuck you..." The hunter was overturned by the explosion as soon as he spoke.
Chu Ye pulled out a spine-shaped luminous chain in the smoke of gunpowder, and the end was pierced with a beating heart-shaped crystal nucleus.
A golden border pops up on the system interface on the retina prompts: [First kill: Dare level individual capture is completed, soul forging experience value +1500].
The moment the crystal nucleus contacts the air, the vegetation of a range of ten meters has withered at the same time.
Chu Ye felt the chips on the back of his neck were hot, and the influx of memory fragments were filled with scenes of interstellar warships crashing on flesh and blood planets.
When he forcibly cut off the data flow, black blood was already oozing out of his nasal cavity.
"The transaction was completed." He shook his hand and threw the crystal core to Hawkeye. The moment the hunter caught it, his pupils suddenly contracted - the muzzle of the six-tube shotgun had already pressed against Chu Ye's eyebrows.
"You just used the Black Wind's formation method in the Battle of Styx last year." The mechanical prosthetic eye popped up a twelve-level certification aperture, "The old thing said before his death that there are only three types of people in the world who can read his memory furnace ."
Chu Ye let the muzzle press the dent on his forehead, and quietly pressed the trembling black iron knife on his waist with his left hand.
The system was simulating seven counter-killing schemes on his retina, but when he saw the weird arrows of crystal clusters arranged on the ground, he suddenly changed his mind.
"I have fragments of memory of twenty-seven enemies of the sect in my body." He pulled open his collar and exposed the furnace mark on his collarbone. "Do you want to listen to their dying wail, or..."
The pulsating roar of the earth suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
The supposedly dead clusters of Croat crystals turned collectively, pointing in the direction of the sound source.
Chu Ye's system interface suddenly blackened for half a second, and when it lights up again, all data is covered with a blood-colored filter: [Warning!
Detected approaching source of mental pollution in ██████████████████████████████████████�
The Hawkeye's shotgun turned direction instantly, and the biochip on the back of the hunter's neck burst out with an electric spark: "Run!" This tracker who is always easy to follow showed his fangs for the first time, "Use the Black Wind Body Technique you just stolen, can How fast it is…"
Before he finished speaking, the entire humus layer suddenly turned into a gelatinous object.
Chu Ye activated the air cushion module at the moment of falling, but saw that the green grid representing safety on the holographic map was violently rewritten by some kind of existence.
The crystal cluster arrows that originally pointed deep into the forest are now pieced together twisted interstellar coordinates on the ground.
"Rookie!" The molecular threads thrown by Hawkeye entangled Chu Ye's wrist, "Don't look at those..." The warning was cut off by the sudden wrinkles of space.
When Chu Ye jumped out of the pit with pulling force, he glimpsed that the giant tree 800 meters away was collapsing into a Klein bottle structure.
He threw out three poison-tempering gears with his backhand, but the hidden weapon was alienated into a small Gross creature during the flight.
The system alarm explodes in the skull: [Cognitive filter overload, memory furnace is forcibly closed].
When blood dripped from the cochlea, Chu Ye finally made a decision - he pulled off the molecular lines of Hawkeye and stuffed the captured crystal nucleus into the robotic arm fuel compartment.
"The transaction ended." Soul fire burned from the spine to the pupils, and he activated the emergency jump agreement in the hunter's shocked gaze.
When the curvature of space tear opens the escape passage, the last glimpse of the scene is that countless crystal clusters are arranged in the void into the weaver totem, and the interstellar coordinates that should have been unfamiliar are exactly in line with the encrypted memory in the deepest part of his soul furnace.
