Chapter 40: The Hunt for Calamity

Putting away the supplies of the four people one by one, the torture blade's eyes swept over the four of them one by one, and then said calmly, "I will repay you." ”

Although supplies were obtained, the Torture Blade was not in a hurry to use it, and continued to walk through the wilderness in the flesh.

Time passed slowly, and the afternoon was peaceful. The five of them walked unhurriedly, observing the movements around them while finding the missing circle.

Night.

The clouds fluttered in the sky like wolf smoke, and from time to time the moon and stars were obscured. The cold winds of the night are in stark contrast to the scorching heat of the day.

The minus 20 degree cold wind blows on people's faces with sand and gravel, which is no different from someone poking you in the face with a knife.

"It's minus 30 degrees during the day and minus 20 degrees at night. Without the Spiritual Sense, there is no way for man to survive. Zhang Zisheng sighed in the cold wind.

At nine o'clock in the evening, it took twelve and a half hours for the five men to advance one hundred and fifty kilometers.

At this time, the five of them had already walked out of the hilly area outside the Apocalypse City, standing on the dividing line between the hilly area and the anvil forest.

Lawrence looked down at the small computer screen in his hand and said, "Anvil Jungle." Although it is a dense forest, it is a mountain range. This mountain range runs from east to west, stretching for 200 kilometers, with 34 large and small peaks. The place we are now is the twelfth peak of the mountain range, with a maximum altitude of 1,200 meters. The width here is twenty kilometers. ”

Torture Blade stood at the foot of the mountain, reaching out and touching the ground against the cold wind. The surface of the earth has fine dents and some patterns that look like patterns. These things are held in place by the icy cold wind when night falls.

"The footprints of men, from which those who came before entered." Torture Blade said.

Lawrence crouched down and said, "Of course, there are two hundred kilometers around here, and the width here is the narrowest. ”

Reaching out and carefully touching the thin patterns on the human footprints, Tortureblade continued, "Be careful, there are scourge beasts and wurms here. ”

"Calamity Beast!? Wurm species!? The four of them were stunned.

At this time, the torture blade explained like a master, "This pattern is created by the friction of the scales against the ground. The iron tree is very hard, and after mutation, it is comparable to steel. There are not many calamity beasts that can live here, and iron-devouring is one kind. ”

As he spoke, the torture blade slowly retreated along the subtle pattern and said, "Iron Devouring Mang, a high-level calamity beast, this kind of thing can generally evolve into a calamity dragon, this is common sense. ”

After retreating ten meters in a row, the torture blade stopped, touched the ground and said, "The body is between ten and fifteen meters long." Hindlimbs have evolved. ”

When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly ran over and did find two deformed claw marks on the ground. The claw marks were originally very plain, and then they were stepped on by many footprints, and if it were not for their extreme care and familiarity, they would not have been noticed.

"This iron-devouring ability is at least at the level of a dragonman."

"Dragonman!" The four of them gasped when they heard this.

All five of them are earth-level. Even if it is a calamity beast of the same level, it is very deadly, let alone this dragon man level.

The torture blade did not stop, and the dark eyes kept sweeping, and then walked to the edge of the anvil forest, and carefully observed on a dying iron tree.

Finally, a hideous tooth mark was found at the root of the iron tree.

"Bone worms, the most disgusting wurms." Tortureblade looked at the tooth marks and muttered.

Hearing the word bone worm, Yuexia's face turned pale for a while, and the faces of the three Yuelan also flashed with a trace of fear.

Bone worm, a species of wurm. But the deterrent power of this wurm species to people is more terrifying than that of the plague dragon.

The bone worm is about three meters long, two adults thick, twelve legs, and four chelica. The exterior was covered with a miserable white bony armor, like a giant bug.

It lives on the ground all year round and has similar habits to earthworms. But unlike earthworms, which eat dirt, this bone worm eats people.

Ordinary plague beasts do not have a high level of intelligence, but as a bone worm of the wurm species, their intelligence is similar to that of a human seven-year-old child. This kind of thing is good at attacking humans from underground and dragging them directly into the ground.

But dragging it underground is not the end. Humans who are dragged in will be tied to their bodies by the anal hair on the belly of the bone worm, and then they will open their hideous seven-petal mouths and slowly devour the human body from the human feet.

Since the amount of food eaten by bone worms is not large, it is generally necessary for an adult to divide into three parts before eating. That is, this horrific experience lasts at least three days.

So there are many people who would rather die directly than be caught by a bone worm.

"The bone worm ate this iron-devouring mang?" Yuelan asked cautiously.

Tortureblade shook his head and said, "Eating is the best situation." ”

"What's the worst?" Tsukishita asked.

"The bone worm is protecting this iron-eating mang, helping it evolve." Tortureblade has a bombshell news.

Yuexia listened to the question, lowered her head and grabbed the neck of the torture blade, her expression was extremely serious, and she asked in a low voice, "There are some things that need to be thought about when you say them." Don't just say alarmist words. ”

Torture Blade casually brushed away the hand under the moon, got up and said, "It's not alarmist, I've seen this happen a few years ago. Disasters are constantly evolving, and this kind of thing is normal. Some time ago, when I was hunting, I was crushed by a madman whose body was cut into three pieces. This kind of thing, which was completely unthinkable before, now abounds. ”

Hearing the words of the torture blade, the hearts of the four of them sank. Although they don't know much about Torture Blade, one thing they know for sure is that such pure people don't lie.

"Why hasn't the Coalition found out about these things?" Moonlight clenched her weapon and muttered to herself.

Yuelan put her hands behind her head, yawned and said, "Don't think about it so much, let's find a place to sleep first." ”

Tortureblade nodded, closed his eyes and felt the direction of the wind, ready to find a place to rest.

"Wait!" Lawrence suddenly shouted.

Hearing Lawrence's voice, Yuexia's expression tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Crazy people, a lot of crazy people are gathering here." Lawrence said, pointing in both directions to the northeast and north.

"Massive? How much? Zhang Zisheng asked in a deep voice.

Lawrence was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Between three hundred and five hundred." ”

Rumble!

At this moment, the east side of the anvil forest suddenly remembered a continuous explosion sound.

Lawrence's ears twitched slightly, and then he said, "It's the explosion of the sluristor." ”

The torture blade slowly clenched his fists, and a calm voice sounded in the cold wind.

"The hunt for disaster has begun."

In the air, an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flew by. Get a clear view of the situation below.

About 10,000 madmen have surrounded the mountain range. At the same time, behind the madman, there were twelve wurms covered in cyan scales.

Twelve wurms lead about 8,000 plague beasts.

In the encirclement, there were more than 300 contestants on the mountain at this time, including not only some noble children of big families, but also geniuses and strong people.

Similar situations are not limited to this mountain. Behind this mountain. On the grassland that leads directly to Black Cloud City, the remaining more than 800 contestants were also divided into four gathering places by the massive disaster.

The situation is very critical!

Apocalypse City, the first hall of the sanctuary under the Apocalypse Sanctuary - Douyang Hall.

In the majestic Douyang Hall, there are reliefs of the sun and angels carved from pure gold everywhere. On either side of the ceremony, nine magnificent huge stone statues are erected.

In the middle of the stone statue is a wide round table.

At the round table, there were ten people at this time.

These ten men were men and women, old and young. Among the more familiar faces are the moon god light, Sharu Baruka, Deng Heng, Thros and other big names in the House of Lords. After the big guys, there are the relevant staff officers and combat commanders of these people.

The meeting was presided over by a middle-aged man with a thin body. The short silver-white hair was like countless steel needles nailed to the head, and the disgusting triangular eyes flashed with an unknown divine light.

"The disaster has already begun to act, and you have all set up your arrangements in place, right?" The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if it had no throat, and it was a sound that came from the trachea.

The three commanders-in-chief of the Third Division nodded slowly.

When the man saw this, he continued, "We may give a lot this time, but you have to remember. It's all for the revival of humanity as a whole, and catastrophe has evolved for far too long. It's been too long since we've confronted catastrophe. And now, it's an opportunity. We must not only annihilate this horde of calamities, but also bring back their corpses. The Astral Research Institute and the Divine Blood Temple are ready. We need to unravel the source of the continuous evolution of the disaster. ”

Everyone listened and nodded their heads.

"The sacrifice is temporary. This sacrifice will be exchanged for the future of the entire human race. ”

At the end of the meeting, Deng Heng and Moon Shenguang walked out side by side. Under the moonlight, Moon Shenguang looked at Deng Heng in a low voice and asked, "That cheap seed, are you sure you can protect my children?" ”

Deng Heng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I can't help it." The Temple of the Apocalypse Templar can keep an eye on everyone, if anyone dares to send someone who is oversized to help the contestants, it will affect the plan. Even you can't bear the wrath of the Apocalypse Sanctuary. ”

After hearing this, Luna Light slowly clenched his fists.

In the anvil forest, Yue Lan looked at the madman in the distance and muttered, "Damn, this is much more serious than what Uncle Niu said." ”

With a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Lawrence's mouth, he smiled, "It seems that I have become the abandoned son of the family again." ”

Zhang Zisheng picked up the shield and giant sword, and said with a resolute face, "It's not a desperate situation yet, don't say such frustrating words!" ”

Tsukishita turned the blade in his hand into a long sword and said, "This is a chaotic breakout battle, and the disruptors can go to hell." ”

Yue Lan clenched the lightsaber with both hands, and said with a smile on her face, "I can finally do it with a real sword." ”

Torture Blade looked at the four of them as if they were at home, and suddenly said, "It's just a group of crazy people, what are you afraid of?" ”

"This is a premeditated encirclement, not just about madmen. ”

"But now there are only crazy people." Torture Blade said calmly.

Lawrence looked back at Blade and asked, "What if it's only the madman?" Five hundred madmen will overwhelm us in an instant. ”

"If you kill them all, you won't be able to drown." Tortureblade said, pulling out his serrated machete.
