Something Odd
The muzzle of the energy pistol expanded by three times and the remainder of the barrel doubled in length. The changes stopped after a couple of seconds and by then it looked more like a shotgun with a large heavy barrel.
Meanwhile, the changes to the blade were the exact opposite. Its length halved to approximately 0.8 meters and serrated pins came out from the edges before they began to move in an anti-clockwise fashion.
A light green liquid was excreted from minute openings along the pins covering the entirety of the blade.
At this moment Hao Xuan pulled the flap down and exited the tent.
There was an old broken wall behind him that gave some cover from the billowing wind but everything else was covered in layers of sand that kept piling up because of the sandstorm.
Hao Xuan took a couple of steps before stopping. He looked around and from the corner of his eyes saw similar figures standing to his left and right as well.
