Chapter 580 The thaumaturges are the challengers! ! !
Xia Xiu was sitting on a lightweight pony with all portable fishing equipment. He was concentrating on fishing in a small ice hole he had just opened.
The silver fishing rod in his hand is engraved with fine reliefs, and the silk thread is fishing along the ice hole on the cold lake.
The originally caught fish have been carefully placed aside in special containers. These containers are designed with oxygen supply to ensure that the fish will not suffocate during temporary storage.
“Ha~”
Next to it, a large dog with white hair and red eyes lay lazily on the ice, exhaling. It was carefully accompanied by the young Silver Gray, who curiously observed the surrounding environment.
However, in this quiet night, not far under the lake, danger is approaching quietly.
The Horned Snake and its two cadres, scar-faced Alex Reynolds and blond-haired Lisa Morgan, hide under the turbid water and approach upward through dense aquatic plants and undercurrents.
The huge body of [Horned Snake] swims in the icy water, dragging a shadowy figure behind it, spitting out cold snake messages.
The two San Diego Rockets officers move through a transparent bubble formed by magic and filled with the air they need to breathe.
The tension underwater contrasts sharply with the tranquility on the lake.
Lisa, a female cadre with wavy blonde hair looked at the blurry figure on the ice, with an undisguised murderous intent flashing in her eyes. She made a decisive move to the scar-faced Alex. The gesture is intended to directly eliminate the target.
She whispered through their special communication device:
"Let the Horned Serpent take direct action and end the enemy beastmaster."
In Team Rocket In their code of conduct, there are often not too many head-to-head confrontations, and there are no upright beast-controlling duels. Their mission is only for the ultimate goal of the consortium - to control all beast-controlling.
In the new world development and new world land reclamation movement caused by the beast control system, the beast control masters and the cowboys of the past are always put together to give them a beautiful imagination - the cowboys are the duels of revolvers, and the beast control masters are the upright and upright warriors. Beast showdown.
These duels are real, but the way they duel is not as beautiful as imagined.
In the beast-control competition within the federation, because the beast-control duel has been financialized and commercialized, it is difficult to follow the rules and regulations. However, outside the competition, if you still follow the rules and regulations of the academy, In a beast-control duel, what's the difference between being a fool and a fool?
Beast Controlling Duel≠Fighting the Beast Controlling!
It is more reliable and faster to kill the beast master than the beast master!
Scarface looked at the fishing figure above, and he still had a subtle feeling deep in his heart. However, he couldn't explain this feeling clearly, because it was indeed a bit inconsistent for someone with a wonderful intuition to attack an enemy of unknown origin. The Rockets' style is even endorsed by a think tank.
However, a subtle influence in his heart made him ignore the logical [error]. The only thing he could think of at this time was that the other party might be more than just a beast master. He said to Lisa:
"The other party may still be a thaumaturge. If the assassination fails, we must be ready to fight."
After hearing this, Lisa smiled confidently. The voice is full of the passion of fighting:
“The two of us, as masters of beast control who have completed the consortium [Gene Compilation and Synchronization], have the power of the Federation’s native mythical creature Horned Snake, how can we be so easily defeated? Defeated! Don’t worry, any threat will come to nothing in the face of our strength.”
"The consortium represents the strongest beast control system in modern times, and is destined to reach the top with extraordinary methods. The beast control system has never been a challenger in the new era..."
"The thaumaturges are the challenge. ! ”
During their conversation, [Horned Snake] swam quietly underwater, its huge body causing tiny ripples in the surrounding water.
The scales on its body reflect a faint light in the faint light, and the cold breath exhaled by Snake Xin blends with the lake water, all of which indicate the coming conflict.
The monster's ferocious eyes peered through the bubbles at Xia Xiu and his beast masters on the ice.
Those malicious eyes seemed to be able to penetrate thick ice, and their killing intent was strong, as if they had foreseen the coming hunt.
This huge mysterious creature looks directly at the ice above through the clear water bubbles, its cold eyes full of murderous intent.
Lisa's blond hair floated slightly under the water, and she whistled gently, which was a signal for battle.
"Whoosh!!!"
[Horned Snake] felt the command, its huge body accumulated strength in the water, and then quickly rushed towards the target on the ice.
Long——
*******
Xia Xiu and his beast on the ice felt an unusual vibration.
The large dog with white hair and red eyes became alert instantly. His ears stood upright, his fangs were exposed, and his body was tense like a bow about to attack.
A cold light flashed in Xia Xiu's eyes. He seemed to have anticipated some potential threat, but his expression was unusually calm, even with a hint of amusement. An infinity symbol "∞" suddenly appeared under his feet. ".
BOOM! ! !
With a deafening loud noise, what suddenly rushed out from under the ice was a huge [Horned Snake]. Its huge mouth was like an abyss, shooting straight into the sky from bottom to top.
Boom~
At this moment, the center of the ice seemed to be struck by an invisible force, cracking rapidly and spreading to all sides like a spider web.
Pattering——
As the horned snake soared out of the sky, the huge water column suddenly broke through the ice, rushing straight into the sky like a river flowing backwards, and then turned into a majestic heavy rain, pouring down on the broken ice like a waterfall. The scene was spectacular and shocking.
In this devastating scene, almost at the moment the ice collapsed, the "∞" symbol at the feet of the blond young man suddenly collapsed, and the space twisted and compressed around him.
咻——
His figure disappeared from the spot at the critical moment and teleported to 200 meters away.
His right hand still held the silver fishing rod firmly and put it on his shoulder. He held the fish box full of harvest in his left hand and stood suspended above the broken ice.
The "∞" floating under his feet steadily supported his calm posture in this chaos. When the rain in the air was about to bathe his body, it quietly bent to avoid it.
At the same time, Jiam showed amazing reflexes and physical fitness in the crisis.
At the moment when [Horned Snake] suddenly struck out with its maw, Jiamu's body expanded rapidly, and using its amazing explosive power, he made a powerful jump, safely evading the direct attack with his silver ash.
At this moment, his figure also expanded to several times its normal size, floating on the surface of the lake that was shattered by the impact, and his ferocious eyes locked on the monster emerging from the lake.
Under his feet, broken ice blocks floated like islands.
Standing on the water covered with broken ice, Xia Xiu faced the huge monster lurking, his golden eyes filled with undisguised displeasure.
Electric fish, poisonous fish, fried fish.
Ground cage, dense mesh, and absolute household mesh.
These are the six taboos of fishing. What a fisherman hates most is meeting people who commit these six taboos. The beast in front of him now exploded the fish in the ice lake as soon as it came out. And judging from its appearance and the crackling sound of electricity coming from it from time to time, it is basically certain that this beast is also contaminated with electricity and poison. On.
Xia Xiu's golden eyes stared brightly at the [Horned Snake] in front of him. This beast had a huge body, dozens of meters in length, and was covered in hard and shining scales.
Under the dim moonlight, every ray of light captured by these scales turns into subtle fluorescence, adding a mysterious and dangerous beauty.
Its eyes are like two extremely bright gems, scarlet and deep. The most eye-catching thing is the two long horns on its head. They curve elegantly backward and are shaped like the horns of an antelope. It is not only smooth but also dotted with gem-like depressions, which shine faintly under the moonlight.
When Xia Xiu stared at the horned snake in the ice lake, [Adam] seemed to detect something.

**【God's Sin·Horned Snake】**
Location: Northern Federation
The Horned Snake is a myth of the aboriginal people of the Northern Continent of the Federation A mysterious creature found in the legends of many tribes, especially in the Southeast and the Great Lakes region.
Not only do these creatures have a deep connection with bodies of water such as lakes and rivers, they also often appear in stories related to tribes' rituals and traditions.
In some cultures, the horned serpent is considered a sacred being.
For example, among the federal indigenous Cherokee tribe, it is considered the imparter of medicinal knowledge, playing a key role in teaching shamans how to use herbs for healing and revealing the secrets of the future.
[Central Containment Room·Containment Value Rating: ★☆☆☆☆]
[PS: It has high containment value and research value, if you still remember what you were in the Central Containment Room If you are a temporary researcher, please contain it and bring it back to the central containment room. ]
——◇◇◇——
Xia Xiu faced the horned snake in front of him, and the thoughts in his heart were like rolling waves:
"There are too many temporary posts and the tasks are too heavy. I almost forgot about the identity of the researcher in the central containment room and the route has not been advanced. Moreover, I have been busy with the affairs of the Management Bureau recently, and I haven’t contacted the Heavenly Kingdom’s local containment room in the federal area.”
“I remember that several representatives of the congressmen who decided to meet and even the main body are still here, and the containment room. It is estimated that the issue of Honkai Impact will also be involved in the identity of the sword holder..."
His eyes were once again locked on the giant beast in the rough water in front of him, and he couldn't help but smile softly:
"I really caught an interesting big fish. Divine evil, this is the Sea of Chaos, a specialty around the Red Earth Continent. I didn't expect that you can also encounter it inland, and it is also a tamed divine evil. The containment value here is indeed high. , the central containment room was given a star, even though it was only one star.”
While the fourth sword-bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven was speaking, the shadows under his feet began to squirm, and the legions dormant in the shadow of the Time Lord began to roar with hunger.
The other side.
On the cold ice under the night sky, the huge body of [Horned Snake] reflects a terrifying image. Its fluorescent scales are slightly blue under the moonlight, making the surrounding atmosphere More solemn.
Standing atop this beast, the two San Diego Rockets executives have no idea they face unprecedented challenges.
The rough man whose face was divided by scars, his brows were furrowed, and no one could tell what was going on in his heart.
He stared closely at the blond young man opposite him who was standing easily on the water. For some reason, he felt an unprecedented pressure from the other person's shadow.
There was obviously nothing anywhere...
He couldn't help lowering his voice and said to his companion:
"It is indeed a thaumaturge, Lisa, I think we..."
But before he finished speaking, Lisa was already deeply attracted by the scene opposite.
Lisa, a female cadre with blond hair and wavy hair, the original alertness and calculation on her face gradually turned into an almost instinctive hostility, and her eyes became sharper and more decisive.
This change was not a rational choice, but was driven by intuition, an instinctive reaction deep in her blood that made her unable to control herself.
It's like "ridiculous", like a triggered "error".
She interrupted Alex decisively, with unquestionable determination in her voice:
"Alex, release your genetically identical beast! ”
She ordered, her tone laced with the tension of an impending battle.
Above the lake, in the biting cold wind, scenes of phantoms of old battlefields seemed to pass before Alex's eyes, and his expression became complicated.
This sudden and profound loss set off alarm bells in his heart.
He looked at Lisa. This companion was now driven by strong emotions, her eyes were red, and she almost lost her self-control calmness, which made Alex have to re-evaluate the current situation.
Buzz--
A flash of clarity flashed through his heart.
Isn't this sign of dementia exactly what he showed during the Battle of Oaxaca among the soldiers who were affected by enemy thaumaturgy?
In memory, this is called "element pollution", a kind of mental erosion that can distort people's perception and judgment, causing the affected person to fall into chaos and even become vulnerable to external manipulation.
In the military, once soldiers are found to have such symptoms, they are usually quickly injected with rational drugs to avoid more serious psychological damage or disorderly behavior on the battlefield.
He felt nervous. The consortium had prepared measures for a long time, but...he forgot to use them for a while.
Scarface took a deep breath of cold air, trying to bring his thoughts back to reality.
He turned to Lisa, with urgency in his tone:
"Lisa, calm down! We may all be affected in some way. Remember that potion? It was distributed by the consortium, used to fight against The kind with a controlled mind."
He tried to keep his voice firm, hoping to awaken the sanity of his companions.
Lisa's eyes gradually focused, and she seemed to be aware of her abnormal behavior from Alex's words.
She shook her head, trying to get rid of the nameless drive.
"Yes, potion...how could we forget such an important thing?"
Click——
There was some strange noise that broke their conversation.
