Chapter 522: Time II

A clean, steady palm plunged into the frozen ice. With the movement of the palm, the ice soil was gradually peeled away, revealing some black cinders inside. Zero grabbed a handful of such carbon slag with his hand and put it between his nose and sniffed it, and even stretched out his tongue to gently touch the carbon slag. As the slightly bitter taste melted on the tip of the tongue, Zero already knew how many hours it had been a product before.

Next to Zero, Merlin stood with an axe. The solemn eyes of the Red Grand Duke swept over this leeward mountain, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have they rested here?"

"You can't be wrong, this coke is five hours old. And I found something interesting over there. Zero stood up, and near him were several snowdrifts that had been ripped open. One of the snowdrifts was littered with the fur and bones of mutants, while others were stained with the blood of certain creatures.

"What do Midra's bugs feed on?" asked Zero, picking up a piece of bloodstained fur.

Merlin replied, "They can eat almost anything." However, Midra is very picky, it only sucks the blood of its food, it is a blood-sucking bed bug. ”

Zero's gaze landed on another snowdrift, where the dried corpses of some mutant beasts were. The corpses had atrophied muscles, and their hair was gray in color. Apparently Midra is not as simple as sucking blood, it is correct to say that it will suck the life essence of food.

"Obviously, these Cazeroths don't like cooked food, so these foods are for the rest of their companions. Zero kicked the coke under his feet, as well as the head of a nearby violent bear: "Eat the whole violent bear at once, if it is not a little bit of its companions, it is a high-ranking ability." Judging from the fact that this resting place does not appear to be very messy, it should be the latter. Dear Grand Duke, I don't know what you think of it?"

Merlin thought for a moment, then sneered, "It must be those humans who beat our Shield of Netherres, I was really surprised when I saw that Midra was secretly in contact with them. ”

"So do you know who is behind these humans?"

"I don't know about that, but I only cooperated with them to kill you by their hands. Otherwise, I wouldn't have walked with those filthy fellows. ”

Zero smiled and said, "Let's go, maybe we can surprise them in time for their next rest." ”

"Can you predict their route?"

"It's not that hard. "We've been chasing them for four or five days, and it's not hard to tell the distance and the time it takes from where they take each break," Zero said. With this information, I can probably predict where they will rest next. The question is, who's faster. ”

"If it's speed, the bugs have an advantage over us. Merlin said in a deep voice.

Zero Moran, with their foot strength, if they travel on the ground, they can probably advance more than 400 kilometers a day. But in the mountains, because of the influence of the environment and climate, it is already very good to be able to advance 100 kilometers a day. And Midra's side is faster than them because of the flying insects, which is absolute.

"So we don't have much time, but the traces they left tell me that the physical strength of the red beetle flying insects is also limited. After four or five hours of each flight, we have to rest, and if we want to get ahead of them, we will have to advance 24 hours a day without interruption to hope to get ahead of them. ”

"Just like that, I'm no problem as for you"

Zero said lightly: "Don't worry about me, my endurance won't be inferior to anyone." ”

"That's good, I hope you don't be a burden to me!" Merlin snorted.

The two stopped talking, and a silent journey ensued. When they were on the road, they didn't have any communication and communication. It is usually Zero who opens the way in front, followed by Merlin. This time was no exception, Zero was like a ghost, quietly running on the snow in the mountains, leaving only a faint shadow. And the Red Grand Duke is like a flame, no matter how strong the wind and snow on the mountain peaks are, it cannot be blown out.

Time passed little by little, Zero and Merlin were on their way, and so did Midra and Betsy. If Mount Tulash is a racing field, then the end point is the exit of the mountain range to the north. Whoever gets there first will have the upper hand in this race. And the key point is in time. Whoever takes the shortest time has a chance to win.

It's sunset again, and the red beetle flying insects are starting to descend. Betsy, who was sitting on one of the flying insects, opened her eyes from her false sleep. Betsy had to admit that in an environment like Mount Tulash, the Red Beetle Flying Worm was indeed the best means of transportation. Their heavy carapace protects them from the strong winds at high altitudes, while their powerful wings ensure high altitude.

But when God opens one window, he always closes another.

Although the Red Beetle Flying Worm has the rare ability to fly in this era, their physical strength is only enough to support the flight needs of four to five hours. And when carrying passengers on the back, this time is reduced by about 20 percent. Flying in high winds, their speed is only a pitiful ten kilometers per hour, and they are unable to fly at night due to the shili problem of the bugs, so this team of bugs can only advance about 150 kilometers every day.

At this rate, it would take at least five days or so for them to reach the range of the Tulash Mountains.

After three days of rest, Betsy and Pederfani have recovered quite a bit. The most beautiful of them all was Pederphanie, whose huge wound on the ventral side of her chest had largely healed, leaving only a reddish scar. As for energy, it has returned to 80% of its heyday, which is enough to cope with any big war.

Betsy was not so lucky, his left arm was crippled, which was equivalent to the loss of about 20% of his combat power. Fortunately, this did not cause his ability level to regress, otherwise Betsy would have been worse off than dead. But the ash spreaders no longer have the same calmness as before, and Betsy, who has only recovered six or seven percent of his energy, can only use one more natural disaster fire rain, plus one or two catastrophic flames, and the power will be slightly reduced, which makes Betsy feel very depressed.

In addition to Betsy and Pederfani, there was a third passenger on the bug team. Betsy, the alien woman wrapped in the gray robes, had seen him and Pedfanie fight against the woman's team before waiting for Bane and the others to join up in the Zambis Mountains. Later, it was discovered that they were mixed up with the Gegna and Zero.

It's just that what Betsy didn't expect was that the so-called important person in Midla's mouth was actually this woman.

This made Betsy regret it very much, knowing that this was the case, and that he should have done his best to take it down when they first met that day, and maybe he could even take the green capital without bloodshed.

Regret is naturally useless now, the initiative has been taken by Midra, and Betsy and Pedfani can only play the role of thugs now.

After all the flying insects had descended, Betsy looked at her surroundings. This is a corner of the Tulash Mountains, where stalagmites abound, and the environment can be called complex. It's just that these stalagmites are not natural, but the fragile parts of the rock have been eroded by the cold wind, and the rest are the hardest parts of the rock. Betsy flicked his fingers on the root stalagmite, and there was a faint meaning of gold and stone, which showed that the stalagmite was as strong as steel, otherwise it would not have been preserved.

This stalagmite forest is more than 100 meters high, and it points obliquely to the sky. The short ones are also ten meters long, sharp at the top and thick at the bottom, like a row of fangs. The flying insects are careful when descending to avoid hitting these natural stone teeth. After getting off the flying insects, the woman wrapped in gray robes was guarded by at least a dozen red beetle flying insects, and Midra herself was resting not far away.

It was a forbidden place, and even Betsy and Pedfanie were not allowed to approach it. With the exception of the Bugs who guarded them, the rest of the Bugs headed down the mountain, where they would find hibernating mutants in the crevices of the mountains or in dead trees. Some of it will be food for the Betsy and the others, and the rest will be a meal for the bugs.

After dinner, they will spend the night in this stalagmite forest. When it dawns tomorrow, it's time to set off. Betsy is used to this kind of marching rhythm. He and Pedfanie sat down somewhere far away from the bugs and where they could see what was going on.

Pedfanie leaned against a thick stalagmite, squinted at Midra and said, "I don't trust these bugs. ”

"I'm the same, but as things stand, we have no choice but to work with them. Betsy said lightly.

"Have you ever thought that if it is true that bed bug, it has jishu that can control the minds of living beings? Then if we send it to the door like this, it is very likely that we will be controlled by it and become its soldiers. Pedfanie whispered.

"In fact, I doubt that Midra will ever be able to make it to this mountain. Betsy sighed, his meaning obvious. If Midra couldn't even get out of the mountains, and talk about returning to Kazeroth, Pedfani's worries would be very distant.

The Blood Empress frowned and said, "You mean the Red Grand Duke?"

"That's right, you saw it at Stormkeep. Merlin also cared deeply about the woman, otherwise he wouldn't have taken her. Betsy was attacked by the Ice Wings, but he calmly observed the changes in the square, so he learned about Merlin's Shemidra and Ademili.

Pedfanie wasn't as attentive as he was, and she didn't even notice the fact that there were so many things going on in the Storm Fortress that she hadn't noticed.

"The Red Grand Duke will definitely catch up, then" At this point, Betsy's face suddenly changed.

A bleak red moonlight appeared on the horizon, at first it was just an inconspicuous red band of light, but in the blink of an eye, it had already roared, turning into an arc moonlight ten meters long. The red moonlight easily sliced through the stalagmites in its path, and these rocks as hard as steel were easily cut like butter before the moonlight, which showed how sharp the energy that made up the crescent moon was, so sharp that even with Pederfani's ability it was unwilling to touch easily.

Almost as soon as Betsy's face changed, Pederfanie immediately transformed into a Hellmaster. Transformed into a bewitching witch from purgatory, Pedfanie snorted. As soon as the anti-joint foot stepped on the ground, the rock was torn apart, and the Blood Empress had already cut across the air towards the crescent moon, and Betsy shook her head again and again.

After Yuemang cut off dozens of stalagmites all the way, four red beetle flying insects fell from the sky. The flying insects blasted out high-temperature fireballs and landed on the moon, but they couldn't stop it from flying at all. If the moonlight doesn't change its trajectory, then its destination is Midra, the Worm King. So these Midra's guards were red-eyed, and pounced on Moonlight, intending to use their bodies to stop Moonlight from continuing to advance.

But they forgot that their carapace was only a fraction harder than a stalagmite. So the guards were like moths to a fire, and as soon as they hit the moonlight, they couldn't hold on for two seconds and were cut in two. Worm blood flies, and Pedfanie falls from the sky. The Bloody Empress stepped on the top of the moonlight with one foot, pressed it hard, and there was a muffled sound in the air, but it finally pressed the moonlight towards the ground, and finally disappeared into the ground, leaving only a crack that was ten meters long and unknown geometry!
