Chapter 1997

"Stand back." It was Asuna who spoke at this time, and Yuno and the others were naturally the ones who warned.

Although Linton had already said it, Yuno and Fanlei obviously still wanted to come forward. Especially on Yuno's side, probably because he had never seen Linton make a move, Yuno still seemed to want to fight. And Fanlei's more meaning here should be to help Linton sweep the formation.

Obviously they didn't quite understand what Linton wanted to do, but Asuna already fully understood. After speaking, Asuna here also took a step forward, the yellow gemstone on her forehead flashed, and a yellow translucent protective shield appeared around them, just wrapping them up.

"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Asuna to be able to open the protective shield. When did she learn this trick? This seems to have never been mentioned.

Of course, this protective shield is not new. In fact, when I saw Asuna using it, Linton also remembered that I had seen Vision use this trick before, and it was indeed a skill of Vision, but Asuna seemed to have used it before. It's just that she can shoot lasers, when did she learn the protective shield?

After thinking about it, I don't need to worry about it so much, so I can save myself a lot of things. Since Asuna used it here, she should be able to block it with confidence. Linton definitely didn't want to blow up his own people, and he was planning to block it. The fit between his side and the position of AT is quite high, and he used it very smoothly. It is definitely not a big problem to use the AT position to resist the nuclear explosion. The apostles have all performed it, but now that Asuna has offered to help, it should be fine to go directly.

Just as he was thinking, a sword wind struck in front of him, of course it was Marlenia's attack. Linton's subconscious first reaction was to pick up the thing in his hand and throw it back, but just as he was about to do it, he suddenly remembered what he said just now. This nuclear missile will not detonate if it is hacked, and the detonation system will be triggered only when the sensing device on the head is subjected to a certain degree of force. In other words, the missile can be hacked.

Thinking of this, Linton leaned back directly, dodging Marlenia's knife on the opposite side.

Obviously, it was impossible for Marenia to know what Linton was holding. If she knew, she probably wouldn't be so bold to come up. From her point of view, Linton was just holding a strangely shaped weapon.

Because of this, Marlenia didn't have any sense of danger, and the blade was a hit. The blade drew a perfect arc in the air, and then slashed towards Linton again from a different angle.

Linton also just wanted to detonate it with a bomb, but he didn't expect Marlenia's attack to be quite fast. After a flash, he followed up with the second attack, and the continuous attack was like flowing water. Linton wasn't worried about himself. It didn't matter if he was hacked, but if the missile was hacked and couldn't detonate, it would be a bit embarrassing.

But Linton dodged once and didn't want to dodge a second time. Looking at the sword Marenia swung over here, Linton took a step forward and rushed in front of Marenia, looking at it with his left hand. He slammed it in the direction the blade was coming from.

With a "clang", the knife hit Linton's left hand, but there was a sound like a metal collision, and Marenia felt a huge force coming from the blade, and the blade was almost blown away. Going out, in order to relieve the force, Marenia took a step back, and her right hand was hit backward.

"Look at my precise empty-handed rebound!" Linton said while holding the branch in his hand, turning his body like a sledgehammer, waving the nuclear bomb in his hand, and aiming the warhead directly at Malenia in front of him. He slammed it fiercely, "Look at this trick again!"

Marlenia's reaction was also quick. Seeing Linton waving his weapon and attacking her, she immediately adjusted her movements. However, she still didn't know what it was. After adjusting her movements, her first reaction was to slash directly at the thing that was being swung at. It looked like she was going to split the missile in two with one knife.

The blade twisted, and Marlenia hit the middle of the missile head with a precise knife. The next second, a white light suddenly flashed from the missile held in Linton's hand.

"Hurry up." Asuna suddenly said something to the three people behind, but the three obviously didn't understand the meaning. pay close attention? Hurry up for what?

However, the next moment, a violent white flash appeared from the front. They were obviously not the only ones who saw this white light. Almost everyone in the northern area of ​​Huasheng Xueyuan suddenly saw a violent flash of light suddenly appear on the horizon in the north, and even illuminated the sky for a moment, followed by a beam of light that soared into the sky. red light.

The loud bang of "Boom" came only a few seconds later, and a huge shock wave followed. The impact force directly scraped off a layer of snow on the ground, and many The unprepared creatures were directly thrown out.

Of course, those who flew out were considered lucky, because no matter how close they were, within the range of the explosion, it was impossible for them to survive. Near the center, the high temperature of the explosion was sublimated into gas almost instantly. Even some dead people living in the holy tree couldn't survive. No one was left behind, who knows how they resurrected and survived.

And when these lucky people who were thrown into the air realized what was going on, and looked up at the direction of the explosion again, what they saw was an ominous mushroom cloud rising.

What happened to the holy tree at this time, no one knew, but what replaced the holy tree was the slowly rising mushroom cloud. Apparently, people in the borderlands have never seen such a thing, but subconsciously, many people suddenly started bowing in the direction of the mushroom cloud. People here are used to paying attention to things they cannot understand, so... This should be a miracle or divine punishment.

Compared with the surrounding chaos, the center of the explosion at this time, the interior of the holy tree is extraordinarily quiet. At this time, all the sounds have disappeared, and the surrounding can be said to be dead silent, and it is quite clean.

When Linton stood up, he really saw nothing around him except for the burning red ground. A few people were still in the tree hole before, but now there is a flat land around them, all tree roots, buildings and other things have completely disappeared, and there is an open space within the range of vision.

Linton looked around, then walked towards a small raised spot not far away. From the front, it looked like a small bump of dirt, but when turned to the back, Linton could see the defensive cover inside, and inside the defensive cover were Asuna and the others.

The material on the ground was instantly melted into a liquid by the temperature and impact force of the explosion, then lifted up and covered the defensive cover, as if a layer of shell had been poured on the defensive cover. Now, after the temperature began to drop slowly, it hardened and formed. Currently looks prominent.

Linton looked at Asuna who was still maintaining the defensive cover inside, and there were three people lying down at her feet. Yuno and the others seemed to have lost consciousness, and they didn't know how they fainted, but the state seemed to be Not hurt.

"When did you learn the defensive shield?" Linton asked, "It's not bad, it can resist nuclear bombs."

"It was researched when collecting data before." Asuna said.

"Can this be researched?" Linton asked.

"No...it's hard to describe, as if I suddenly grasped it." Asuna said with a frown, her words were a little unclear, but this was not because she deliberately concealed it, but because she couldn't express this feeling clearly.

"Hmm... so you really have to come out and try it out to know what the upgrade is, right?" Linton said.

"Hmm..." Just as he was talking, Yuno, who fell at Asuna's feet, suddenly reacted. He was not injured in the first place, and he didn't know why he fainted, but he woke up quickly.

Raising his head, the other party fell to the ground and was stunned for a while, probably because he didn't understand the current situation, and then immediately looked to the side: "Dialos!"

Sure enough, the first reaction was to look for his younger brother, and he was indeed a younger brother. Of course, Dialos was beside him, and Yuno patted him a little. Dialos himself was not injured, and he was also called by Yuno. At the same time, his voice also woke up Fan Lei next to him.

"Hmm... what's the situation?" Diaros didn't even understand the situation, and his memory was only up to seeing the white light, and he had no memory of what happened afterwards.

But Yuno and Fanlei next to them obviously saw more. After the initial confusion, the two of them obviously remembered something, and immediately got up and looked around. Of course, what they saw was a hellish scene.

The blood-red ground that was melted by the high temperature, the unidentifiable black objects that were as black as coke that began to condense, and the gray snowflake-like ash that slowly fell from the sky, in short, this scene is not like that at all. It can be seen by humans.

More importantly... what about the sacred tree? They were still active on the sacred tree just now, but now they can't see that thing around.

"How about it, is the spell of our physics mage..." Linton saw the astonishment of the three of them, and just wanted to continue bragging, but before he could finish speaking, a Lian Lin suddenly flew by. Something that surprised everyone.

It was a butterfly with red wings, which just passed by Linton. Apparently Linton didn't expect to see this thing here, not to mention radiation or something, the air temperature around him is estimated to be hundreds of degrees, can this butterfly fly here?

However, looking in the direction in which the butterfly flew past, Linton saw something that surprised him even more. It was a red flower bud floating in mid-air. Linton didn't know when it appeared here. Flying around, the number is increasing, and no one knows where it came from.

"What is this?" Linton was indeed a little taken aback.
