Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

"The rift...disappeared?" Xier murmured in a low voice.

Sanyue, who was standing next to her, said proudly, "How was it made by A-Lin? Isn't it amazing?"

The one who is awesome is your team leader, why are you so proud...

The members of Dihuo thought to themselves.

Before Xier could ask carefully, bursts of terrified shouts from the members of the Earth Fire Group were heard in the distance.

"Big ice cube, there's a big ice cube coming!!"

"Hiss! Roar!"

Hearing this, Xier immediately suppressed the doubts in her heart and looked in the direction where the voice came from with a serious expression.

Sure enough, a monster several meters tall and wearing blue armor appeared out of nowhere, bringing with it a not-so-big rift.

They have all heard of this kind of monster. Its powerful strength can easily freeze anything. The appearance of this kind of monster often requires the Earth Fire to send out a large number of core warriors to encircle and kill it. Even so, casualties are still likely to be reported.

Xier gritted her teeth and said, "Why is there this kind of thing again... Retreat, retreat quickly! I will cover you!"

Just as she was ready to cover the retreat of other members of the Earth Fire and was waiting for the main combat forces to arrive before finding a way to surround and kill them, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from behind her.

The next second, countless finger-sized shells drew a graceful arc in the air, and after spinning twice, they all hit the ice in the outer universe accurately.

Boom! !

Red flames were accompanied by violent explosions. In an instant, smoke and dust rose up and vibrations occurred one after another.

When the smoke cleared, the 'big block' of ice from outer space that seemed so invincible in the lower area was shattered and lay on the ground dying, as if it was not the one who was so arrogant before.

On the other hand, in the distance, Chen Lin had climbed up to a high platform on the rock wall at some point. He was carrying a strange metal cylinder on his shoulder, with wisps of green smoke coming out of the mouth of the cylinder.

Everything happened so fast that everyone in the Earth Fire Group stood there in amazement, staring at each other, not knowing for a moment whether they should retreat or not...

Chapter 72: I'm Really Confused

The answer is naturally not to retreat.

One of the most difficult enemies in the lower area is the Earth and Fire Division. The monster, the ice from the outer universe that comes from the rift, commonly known as the big ice block, died on the spot before Chen Lin could even hold on for half a round. Since the biggest trouble in front of him has been solved, there is naturally no need to make long-term plans.

Cooperating with the attack of March and others, Xier soon realized that none of these scientists' "guards" were weaker than herself. They even seemed to be not putting in much effort. They fought for a long time without even taking a breath, as if they were playing.

Xi'er had not been to school much, and could only barely read. Facing such a talented person, her thousands of words finally converged into one word:

-6

The newly formed rift was soon cut off by Chen Lin, and the energy veil at the rear end gradually disappeared. The terrible rift disappeared, and the area returned to peace again. There was no sign of the rift reappearing around, and it was obvious that the plan to expand the rift had stopped here!

"Thank you."

Xier sincerely thanked everyone. Even if she could take care of most of the world-ripping monsters alone, the team would inevitably suffer casualties, which was an outcome she absolutely did not want to see.

The medical and health conditions in the lower areas are poor, and it is difficult for those injured in battle to receive timely treatment. Minor wounds often lead to casualties or even deaths due to infection. Looking into the future, the help of these newcomers is likely to have saved the lives of some members of the Earth Fire, and also avoided the worries of their families.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Although Xier still maintained her previous cool expression, the last bit of vigilance in her eyes had disappeared, and her gaze towards Chen Lin and others became much more friendly.

Just as Chen Lin had expected before the battle, even though everyone had not yet met the leader of Dihuo, they had already gained the favor of Xier, a backbone of the organization.

From this moment on, Xier completely regarded those who participated in the battle as true friends!

"I didn't expect you to have such an extraordinary weapon." Xi'er walked up to Chen Lin, patted his back appreciatively, and exclaimed: "That explosion scared me. It's much more powerful than that cold broken machine over there in the furnace! And the calmness of your appearance is quite interesting."

Chen Lin chuckled and said, "I am not good at close combat. The only thing I can do is to support you from a distance. Anyway, it's good that you are alright."

"Not good at close combat..."

Sanyue glanced at Chen Lin, who was lying without blushing or breathing heavily, and suddenly the enemy of the legion who was kicked directly into the ceiling by him in the Black Tower Space Station emerged in his mind. He thought that if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he might have believed it directly from his knowledgeable look.

The airflow from the explosion had just dissipated, and the dust in the air was gradually settling.

As far as the eye could see, the ground was full of potholes, and the rocks embedded in the nearby slopes were blown to pieces, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"I felt like someone pulled me earlier. Did you see it?" Xier was carrying a sickle, looking surprised. "When I turned around, I didn't see anyone behind me."

The members of the Earth Fire were a little confused by this question and shook their heads: "No one is approaching. We dare not get involved in Xi'er's battle, otherwise it will be bad if we are delayed and retreat."

Having stayed in Dihuo for a long time, they would naturally have more experience and judgment on the battle situation. No one would retreat from a battle that they could participate in, and they would just stay away from a battle that they could not participate in to avoid causing trouble for their own people.

After years of chaos and plenty of order in the lower zone, everyone who has experienced this period understands one thing: you have to have some idea of ​​your own abilities, and secondly, you have to believe in your teammates!

"is it?"

Xier has always had unconditional trust in her own judgment since she was a child. She can guarantee that someone has definitely pulled her back, and there is no doubt about it!

Since the members of Dihuo did not see anyone participating in the battle when they first entered, and Xier knew exactly what abilities the members of Dihuo had, the final direction all pointed to Chen Lin and others.

It just so happened that at this moment, several people in the pioneering team were staring at Chen Lin intently. Xier naturally looked over and met that gentle face. She stepped forward and asked without hesitation:

"Did you do it again?"

"It's just a little trick she was born with. It's just juggling at best." Chen Lin did not deny it. "It's just that Miss Xi'er was already dodging, so it felt like she was deliberately magnifying my reminder. It's a very normal instinctive reaction of a living organism."

"hiss……"

Listening to the young man's serious explanation, Xier felt quite insecure. In her subconscious, this young man was a great scientist. Although she didn't understand what he was talking about at all, she thought it must be right.

After figuring this out, Xier nodded solemnly, patted Chen Lin on the shoulder as if in approval, and said crisply:

"I owe you this time. I've done you a great favor. If you need help in the future, just call me. I won't even blink an eye."

Then, Xier asked about the direction of the large group, and several people hurried in that direction.

Not long after, the five people heard anxious shouts and the remnants of a fight coming from the other side of the steep slope. They hurriedly climbed to the top of the steep slope. In front of them was a turbulent underground stream with clear water. They could see a lot of glowing earth gravel mixed with sand and gravel lying quietly in the stream.

The source of the stream is a nearby mine. The spring water gushing out from the ground becomes more and more frequent as it goes down, eventually forming a stream that is nearly ten meters long.

There is a simple bridge over the stream made of several black wooden boards that have seen the passage of time. More than a dozen adults in simple clothes are urging their children to run to the other side of the stream in panic.

Behind the fleeing civilians were some people holding weapons and fighting against the cracking monsters.

In the middle of the chaotic battlefield, Xier saw Oleg who was in a tough fight.

Without any hesitation, as a dim purple light flashed above the steep slope, Xier, who was originally standing side by side with Chen Lin and others, had disappeared.

In an instant, Xier appeared on the other side of the stream not far away, and swung her sword, instantly cutting a fission monster that was about to attack Oleg from the side into several pieces.

"Xier? You're here just in time. Let's help cover the residents' retreat back to the town!" With Xier's joining, Oleg immediately felt a lot less stressed. He reminded them, "There are strange things in the depths. Be careful!"

"clear."

A natural born warrior will not stop his actions just because of talking, and Xier is one of them. She moves through the battlefield like a ghost, and every strike she makes can cause great damage to the monsters that split the world.

On the other side, Sanyue grabbed a child who almost fell into the river and told him:

"Hey, hey! Be careful, go to the back, it's not safe here."

The pioneer team was on the other side of the stream to meet the retreating residents. March only raised his head and looked into the distance at this time. He shuddered and thought:

"Why do I always feel like there's something in there staring at me..."

……

Miners are the largest group in the lower level area of ​​Beloberg. Because the work is simple, only physical strength is required, and the cost of technical learning is extremely low, it has become the first choice for many people who make a living in the lower level area.

In contrast, the miners' income is not very high. Most of the time, it can only meet the daily needs of their family, and it is difficult to have any money left after that.

The miners in this gathering area are the lowest-income group among them. This place is very far away from other existing marrow veins. They have to get up early every day and travel to distant mines to work. Often they have to work for several weeks in a row near the veins before they can go home.

Because of this, most of the people in the gathering area are the elderly, the weak, women and children. When faced with the sudden attack of the world-ripping monsters, it is difficult for them to form an effective front to resist in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the Earth Fire had already taken into account the special circumstances of this gathering area and dispatched corresponding personnel to patrol and maintain public order every day. This allowed the Earth Fire to receive the news of the rift erosion at the first time and to temporarily organize personnel to come to the rescue as quickly as possible.

But even so, many miners' families were killed in the sudden attack.

Including a very young little girl.

As in the past, she was taken out by the old miners in the gathering area to learn mineral knowledge and mining skills. This is a learning process that every child who grows up in a mining area must go through. Many people generally call these people who impart mining knowledge "old masters".

Her father and mother went to work in the mines and usually would not be back for a long time, leaving her grandparents with disabilities at home to cook and take care of her. Everything seemed normal.

After completing today's exploration knowledge and practice, which many traditional mining families consider to be the most difficult, she slowly walked home while playing.

The old people in the village liked her very much and said she was very cute. They would give her some snacks every time they met her. Even the uncles and aunts who often walked around in the village would give her small gifts. However, many boys of the same age always isolated her. Not only did they often tease her, but they also used very unpleasant words to scold her, saying that she was like a fox spirit, a goblin in those ancient stories that deceived people with its lies...

The reason was her nickname. Everyone in the settlement liked to call her "Little Fox" because many ancient books had written that this little animal was very cute, and her last name sounded quite similar to the name of this little animal.

Girls also disliked her, and boys always bullied her and snatched the snacks and toys given to her by adults...

In the past, someone wanted to be her friend, and she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night. But the next day, the other party not only changed his attitude from yesterday, but also spoke harshly to her and even broke the skin on her forearm with a wooden stick...

It was not until later that the little fox realized that if someone spoke to her in a friendly way, she would be ridiculed and attacked by others. Over time, she chose to avoid other people of her age and find ways to entertain herself.

Today was just like usual. She was at the end of the group and waited quietly until everyone else left before she slowly headed back to the settlement while playing on her own.

But there was something different. Today, the direction of the settlement was particularly noisy. She could hear cries for help and screams coming from the settlement from a long distance away. Before she could react to what was happening, the crowd fleeing from the settlement pushed her towards her.

She fell many times during the journey and was even stepped on by those panicked adults, which hurt her a lot. Fortunately, a few elderly people who hurried over from the back of the team helped her up, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous!

Soon, the uncles and older brothers she often saw in the settlement came over, and one or two of them stayed behind to guide them to escape, while the others ran back into the settlement without looking back.

"Run, run quickly!!"

She was caught up in it and had no choice but to go with the flow.

So what happened? And where are grandpa and grandma?

she does not know.

But it soon became clear.

Those uncles and older brothers, whom she only knew were good people, fled back in a panic, many of them bleeding. Then many tall and twisted monsters pounced on the crowd, and people with weapons began to fight with them.

People who used to come to the settlement and tell them stories were now motionless under the strange golden light, floating in the air and turned into bones in the blink of an eye. Some of them had strange black lines appearing on their bodies, and were torn into several pieces out of thin air!

The uncle who was in the lead kept telling others to retreat quickly until the scary lights stopped appearing.

She didn't understand what everyone in the settlement had done wrong to attract these monsters' attacks.

Injured by the trampling, she struggled to catch up with the group, but at this moment she was horrified to find that the old man who had been following her had disappeared without a trace...

Moving back and forth in the chaotic battlefield, it was clear that her luck had run out after going so long without being attacked, and she could still only run aimlessly, hoping to get closer to the only wooden bridge that could lead to escape.

There were gaps in the defense line formed by the earth and fire, and some monsters from the split world inevitably leaked out. Several very unfamiliar sisters and brothers were fighting with these monsters that leaked out.

In a trance, she seemed to see her grandparents with bad legs and feet waving at her in the distance...

Xier joined the battle of the Earth Fire, Danheng spontaneously rushed across the bridge to the other side of the battle to help comfort and protect the fleeing civilians, and Xing helped to guard the exit.

At this moment, Chen Lin also made a decisive choice.

Come on March, he wants to paddle.

Chen Lin immediately urged, "Sanyue, it's time to be a hero. Go and help them fight the monsters. I believe that Dihuo will be very grateful to you. Who knows, he might even allow you to eat and drink for free for a while!"

After saying that, Chen Lin gently pushed March and gave him a thumbs up.

Long before coming to the lower area, Chen Lin had fooled her many times. Now when she heard that he could go to help, Sanyue jumped out more than ten meters and landed steadily on the other side of the stream.

While the people from the Dihuo were not paying attention to him, Chen Lin stepped on the edge of the bridge and tried not to affect the retreating people. He quickly went to the shore and took over the evacuation work that was most suitable for him from Dan Heng.

As he was paddling to evacuate the civilians, Chen Lin suddenly noticed that not far away at the edge of the chaotic battlefield, there was an 8 or 9-year-old girl walking in the completely opposite direction as if she was possessed by a demon. It seemed that the fierce battle had no effect on her mind...

Is this okay?

At the same time, Xier seemed to have noticed the little girl. She swung her sword to kill several world-ripping monsters that blocked her way and rushed over.

Chen Lin arrived first. He leaned over and picked up the little girl. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt an angry gaze falling on him. The anger seemed to have accumulated to a certain extent.

"?" Chen Lin raised his eyebrows, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Xi'er came hurriedly and said, "I'm here to cover it..."

As soon as he said this, a dark golden beam of light pierced through the darkness and directly covered Chen Lin's face...

Chapter 73: Kick Your Butt

It broke, it broke directly!

The entire deflection shield generator that Chen Lin was carrying suffered the most thorough blow!

This was the first time he had been attacked so fiercely since he came into this world. The intensity was obviously beyond his imagination.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Chen Lin would try his best to avoid participating in frontal combat with his physical body most of the time.
