"What? I was scared by the shot just now?" Nicole looked down at Tianlie: "I was wondering what would happen if I was hit?"

"There is nothing to be scared." Tian Lie shook his head: "In actual combat, there are not so many targets standing still for you to hit. I admit that its power is indeed terrible. Even my body may not be able to eat and live. But if this thing is so easy to use, you should have used it on me when you were in Tokyo."

"Idiot, if I had this thing during the Battle of Tokyo, you would have died long ago." Nicole spat softly, but she was not sure about what she said in her heart.

"Stop talking nonsense, a new enemy is coming again." Tian Lie stretched out his hand and pointed to Nicole's bottom: "Don't you want to die here, do you?"

"So what if I come?" Nicole glanced at her feet. The deep pit left by the explosion had been restored at some point and was filled in an instant, as if it had never changed.

Among the remaining wooden men, eight slowly walked into the red circle.

Nicole aimed at the new wooden man, carefully calculated the explosion range, and tried to kill eight opponents at the same time with one shot. The light in the gun's mouth began to flash.

After resurrection, Nicole once hid her identity and entered Zero City. This rx87 antimatter annihilation cannon was the treasure I found in the flea market in the West District at that time.

The awakened man who set up the stall destroyed a "Yinglong" ground-to-ground support fighter in a dungeon. Because the associated fire control equipment had been damaged, the cannon was almost half a garbage. Nicole bought it without spending much money.

The power of the antimatter annihilation cannon is indeed extremely powerful. The corresponding problem is that it cannot be used as a single weapon, and the charging time required for firing is too long.

But the former is not a problem in the eyes of Nicole, who is equipped with a floaty Nicole. The only thing that restricts its use is the firing time.

But now facing these wooden men who can only be targeted...

"Does go!"

Tian Lie's roar suddenly sounded, and the antimatter annihilation cannon in Nicole's hand had not yet been charged, but suddenly saw a dazzling sword light coming towards him.

Nicole launched the thruster in horror and dodged back quickly, but although the man dodged, the sword light slashed firmly on the antimatter annihilation cannon.

The huge gun barrel was covered with floating armor, but under the sword light, it was easily divided into two pieces like cutting tofu.

And immediately following behind, there was a second and third sword light.

Tian Lie frowned and looked in the red circle. Nicole was already struggling.

After the eight wooden men walked into the red circle and bowed, they immediately jumped up and drew their swords towards Nicole.

Because the wooden man did not jump before, Nicole's floating height was not high, only about twenty meters. Unpredictable, he was almost slashed by the wooden sword.

Losing the antimatter annihilation cannon, Nicole quickly recalled Floating and returned to her body to become armor. The ion shock sword on her right arm also lit up again, blocking the sword light of the other two wooden men.

The wooden man didn't seem to have the ability to fly, so he could only push the ground with his legs and jump into the air to attack Nicole. But the eight wooden man jumped in turn, always keeping at least one of them in the air.

Nicole's swordsmanship was just mediocre. With the ion shock sword, he barely protected himself, but the cooperation of the eight wooden men was exquisite. Each sword was pierced without asking for a hit, but the trajectory forced Nicole to be unable to move towards the direction above whether it was parrying or dodging.

Every time he jumped up and stabbed a sword, he forced Nicole closer to the ground. However, after more than a dozen swords, Nicole changed from more than twenty meters above the ground to more than ten meters.

Tianlie's brows became tighter and tighter.

The closer Nicole was to the ground, the easier it would be for the eight wooden men to jump up and attack her. Originally, Nicole was able to barely support her, but gradually she was at a disadvantage.

Every time Nicole waved the Ion Shock Sword and opened the wooden sword, and wanted to escape back to the sky, the eight wooden men would take action together to block all upward routes.

This is not a battle, but a hunting!

"Don't move."

Zero seemed to see Tianlie's thoughts and said lightly beside him: "The challenger enters the red circle, defeats the wooden man or is defeated by the wooden man, is the preset procedure of this level. You cannot be disturbed during the challenge."

"Who told you that I'm going to go over and save her?" Tian Lie rolled his eyes: "But after hearing what you said, I'm curious. What would happen if I go in? The challenge will be zero and start over?"

"I don't know either." Zero shook his head: "Although they are guardian levels leading to the core of Zero City, they are not me. I can touch some superficial messages, such as the way of passing the maze, and the running rules of this sword trial. But I don't have the permission to understand what will happen after breaking the rules."

"So, you didn't know that these puppets would evolve?" Tian Lie looked at the field: "From the initial time when they only stood there and were beaten, to the active attack, to group hunting... Only eight wooden men have already been like this. Isn't it more troublesome when they reach sixteen?"

"It should be so. Do you have no confidence in yourself?"

"It's just that I don't have confidence in her." Tian Lie sneered: "Although it's not that I don't have the ability to fight melee, it's still a loss to fight with this kind of battle scene. Even if I can pass this level, when the last batch of sixteen puppets come in, I'm afraid I'll still lose. By the way..."

It was not until this time that he turned his face, looked at Zero, and said lightly: "Looking at your calmness, even if you lose this trial, there is no danger of life, right?"

"As long as you leave the range of the red circle, the trial will end. But if you are killed in the red circle... of course you will die." Zero's answer was very calm.

"Oh?" Tian Lie raised his eyebrows: "If she dies, I will be the only one left. Doesn't it matter if I get the authority of Zero City? Don't forget, I am a former member of the Thorn Flower Group."

"It's okay." Zero shook his head: "Even if you are a current member, it's okay. The instructions I got were just not allowed to seize permission. As long as this condition is met, it doesn't matter who else get permission. Although Floating Angel is a former member of the Zero City Angel Legion, it would be a better choice for her to obtain permissions, but if it fails, you can also serve as a substitute."

"You are really not picky." Tian Lie smiled, looked at Nicole in the red circle again, and shouted: "Come out! Stop hitting! If you die inside, you will be dead."

She was finally forced to fall to the ground by the wooden man. In addition to the ion shock sword on her right arm, her left arm also formed a huge shield from floating.

It was precisely with this shield that Nicole was able to hold on for so long without being killed. But even so, three blood marks had appeared on her body.

And the shield was covered with sword marks.

As long as energy weapons like the Ion Shock Sword have sufficient energy supply, they can always maintain their form, but the metal shield cannot withstand the slash of the wooden sword wrapped in silver light.

Fortunately, Nicole's current position is not far from the edge of the red circle. If you have to protect yourself with all your strength, drive the thruster to the maximum horsepower, and suffer a few more injuries, it will not be difficult to rush out.

But Nicole still bit her lip tightly, holding the siege of eight wooden men, turning a deaf ear to Tianlie's words.

Not only the ion shock sword in her right hand and the shield in her left hand, but the energy muzzle on her body also turned on the armor plate again, and bombarded the surrounding wooden men from time to time. Although the wooden men blocked these beams, the corresponding action was also restrained.

"What are you doing? Tell you to come out quickly!" Tian Lie's brows frowned tighter and tighter. Just this moment, he had seen at least three gaps that gave Nicole a chance to rush out of the red circle, but Nicole never moved once.

On the contrary, there were several more sword wounds on her body.

"Damn it! If you leave the red circle, the trial will be over! Do you really want to die?" Tian Lie's face finally changed a little.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll come after telling you this battle, and I'll come!" Although Nicole had no time to look back at Tianlie in the fierce battle, she still shouted loudly.

"You idiot!" Tian Lie gritted his teeth: "Why are you gambled with me here?"

"I'm happy, no..." Nicole heard a thud behind her as soon as she was halfway through her words.

With a strong wind, a fist brushed across her face and slammed heavily on the chest of a wooden man.

"Annoying sissy." Tian Lie's punch made the wooden man fly out, glanced at Nicole at the side, but then kicked her in the chest.

Fortunately, with the protection of floating armor, Tian Lie's kick did not directly touch a soft and towering part of Nicole's body.

The kick was not heavy. Nicole was just kicked away from behind, but she was not hurt and fell next to Zero.

Nicole jumped over and wanted to rush into the red circle again. When she raised her eyes, she saw that the original red circle had disappeared.

Yet Zero was still carrying his hands on his back, standing quietly, with no expression on his face.

"How did the red circle... disappear?" Nicole asked quickly.

Zero just glanced at her and shook his head slightly: "You broke the rules."

"Breaking the rules?" Nicole hesitated, "What will happen?"

"I don't know either." Zero said lightly: "You can see what will happen next."

From beginning to end, Zero always looked like he was neither happy nor sad, and his voice was plain and monotonous. But this time, Nicole felt a hint of his helplessness.

Tian Lie's punch just now just knocked away the wooden man, leaving a crack on its chest, but the attack was not fatal.

The wooden man just rolled on the ground for a few rounds, then immediately jumped up and rushed up with his sword again.

The other seven wooden men surrounded Tianlie in the center from the moment Nicole was kicked out of the red circle by Tianlie.

Just now, one of Tianlie's arm was cut off by Nicole's Ion Shock Sword. Facing the wooden sword wrapped in silver light, knowing that it can withstand the Ion Shock Sword without falling behind, Tianlie would naturally not be stupid enough to choose to take it.

"It's really annoying to have no metal in this space." Tian Lie's face was dark, and his long sword stabbed by the wooden man was constantly flashing under his feet at a speed that was so agility that it was inconsistent with his body shape. A black long sword quickly condensed in his right hand.

While the black sword was condensed and formed, Tian Lie's right hand also stabbed a wooden man's left chest at an extremely tricky angle. Before the wooden man could even resist, he was already pierced by Tian Lie's sword.

The black sword sounded, and a low sound wave spread from the sword to the surroundings, shaking the wooden man into pieces.

There are still... seven left!

Tian Lie took back the black sword, twisted his upper body into a twist, avoiding the stabbing and chopping of several other wooden men. When he was about to fight back, he suddenly saw the shaking of a figure in the distance from the corner of his eyes.

After the red circle disappeared, the remaining sixteen wooden men who were originally standing outside the red circle also started the activity.

And around, bits of pieces are gathering and regaining their true wooden man.
