Chapter 392: The Well of the Abyss (2)

In the early morning of the third day, Zero and Yeliu stood in the assembly square in the center of the town. All kinds of goods to be traded with the city of Beates were gathering in the square, and old Rob was counting the goods. During this decade, Rob Sr. served as a tour guide and was the main person in charge of dealings with the city of Bides. There are a lot of goods, and even with the ability of old Rob, it will take a certain amount of time to count them.

Zero and Yeliu stood aside, looking at the busy figures. He glanced at Yeliu and said, "This time we are not going to fight, so we don't need to collapse ourselves too tightly. ”

Yeru replied expressionlessly, "For me, it makes no difference. ”

Zero shook his head, not knowing what to say. This natural girl has her own persistence. But then again, who doesn't have their own attachment and is willing to do their best for their attachment.

Zero knew that Yeliu must have used some special methods to restrain all the murderous aura accumulated in the past two days of killing. And once this murderous aura erupts, I am afraid it will be devastating. Destroy the enemy and destroy yourself, right?

Zero felt faintly uneasy about a certain secret method used by Yeliu. Thinking of the coat of arms on the back of Yeliu's hand, Zero is even more curious about the family behind Yeliu. What kind of family is it that cultivates an excellent killer like Yeliu.

While the two were talking, Old Rob's counting work had been completed, and they beckoned the two to set off. Today, both Zero and Nightryu have changed out of their tactical suits and changed into the costumes of ordinary residents of Pavarich. Wearing only hunters' protective leather armor on his chest and elbows, and carrying an old shotgun, he was transformed into a regular guard of the caravan.

The two of them went one after the other, separated and hid in the real guards. Yeliu had already used a special method to restrain all of his breath, while Zero had maintained his bioenergy level at the level of ordinary people with his sensitivity and control over energy. If you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid that only the powerhouses of the Perception Domain can detect that there are two abilities hidden in this caravan, Zero and Yeliu.

In addition to the furs to protect the caravan, the caravan also had a variety of food, such as air-dried animal meat and canned fruits. There are also some commonly used toilet medicines, such as aspirin, analgesics, hemostatic sprays, etc. From these things, it is not difficult to see that the alien race in the city of Bidis is similar to humans in some physical structures, so they can use human medicine.

According to Rob Sr., the trade with the city of Beates is basically concentrated in winter and summer every year, and the content of the goods will be adjusted according to the different seasons. For example, in winter, woolly grass and dry food are the most common. In the summer, there will be a relatively large number of antibiotics, and it seems that the underground people are not resistant to the heat and are prone to illness, which is probably related to their long-term underground residence.

Because of the large number of goods purchased, after all, each purchase required two quarters for the entire underground clan, so the caravan used as many as 100 simple two-wheeled carts. Once the goods were neatly arranged, they were tied with sturdy cables, but because the city of Beatess was impassable by motorized vehicles, Pavarich trained all sorts of strange and large xenobiotic beasts to serve as coachmen.

Like a strange horse with six legs and one eye, the body is as big as an ox. After one meal, you can run sleepless for two days and two nights. Then there are overlord snails the size of houses, these guys are extremely powerful, and there is almost no terrain that can make them difficult, the only drawback is that they are not fast. There are also some two-headed war dogs the size of lions, which are like a reduced version of the legendary Cerberus, these mutant dogs have long physical strength, and the three war dogs pull a cart together, and the speed is not much slower than that of a six-legged horse.

There were many more mutant beasts that had never been seen to act as chauffeurs, and without the goods, the caravan would be like a circus.

Zero sits on the thick shell of an overlord snail, the thick shell of the big snail is covered with raised nail ridges, and the interval between the nail ridges is just right for a person to sit. Zero's sitting in the compartment of the armor ridge is like sitting on a chariot. And the big snail barely shakes when it walks, like covering the ground, and people can sit on it more securely. Zero hasn't used the mutant beast as a means of transportation, and now sitting on this overlord snail is also a bit fresh.

He looked back and saw that the caravan was lining up and leaving Pavarich. Yeliu is trying to make himself sit more steadily on a six-legged horse, but his natural riding skills are really not good, and the six-legged horse is short-tempered, so Yeliu's small body is always thrown off. After repeated failures, Yeliu didn't know what method was used. The six-legged horse suddenly neighed as if frightened, but it weighed down Yeru so much that it couldn't move, and a moment later. The six-legged horse seemed to have lost all its courage and no longer dared to move around, as if it were carrying a predator on its back, and dragged the wagon away in frustration.

Zero shook his head and smiled, Yeliu sometimes has a stubborn temper, like a big child.

In this way, the caravan drove out of the town and marched towards the vast snowfields to the southwest. When the town gradually passed away, even the outline of Zuihou gradually disappeared, and the whole world was snow-white, almost infinite.

The vastness of the world naturally generates a sense of awe, and Zero is no exception. Although he is now at the top of the pyramid of human power, he still feels that he is sometimes poor in the wilderness. No matter how powerful a person is, he has the power to destroy the world, but as long as he has not evolved to live without the planet, he will maintain a certain reverence for the natural universe.

This is the nature of living beings, or a kind of imprint engraved in the genes of the organisms living in it, so as to invisibly control the life on the planet in order to achieve a measure to protect themselves.

As for whether this is the case, Zero has no way of knowing. After all, in his current life form, it was too low-level for the planetary will of Agradis. Unless one day Zero can evolve to the same height, perhaps, he will know the secret.

After walking for half a day, at noon, the caravan stopped to rest, and both humans and mutant beasts were given half an hour to rest. Still sitting on the thick shell of the Overlord snail, Zero tore off the Pavariic-flavored dried meat, pulled out a shredded piece of meat, and sent it to his mouth. After a simple chew, Zero only tastes a lot of seasoning. He frowned, but swallowed the dry meat anyway.

Dried meat doesn't taste great, but Zero isn't a picky eater. However, it is not difficult to see the gap between the town and Asgard, and the food alone cannot be compared. At this time, the wind flickered, and Yeliu appeared next to Zero and sat down. The girl put a piece of dried meat into her mouth as well, and tore it vigorously with her two small tiger teeth, while saying indistinctly, "Someone is following us." ”

Zero nodded, "Pavarich has been hanging behind us since he left him." ”

"Who could it be?" wondered the girl.

"Who knows. Maybe Charlotte sent us to spy on us. Or maybe it's someone else. Zero said lightly.

Yeliu asked seriously, "Do you want to clear it?"

"It's not right now, and it's not clear. If we do it, I'm afraid it will affect the whole jihua. A cordon is drawn and we pretend not to see as long as they don't enter. Zero laughed.

The warning line referred to by zero naturally does not refer to physical objects, but to the breath left by those who are capable. Ye Liudang jumped off the Overlord Snail and quickly ran around the caravan, leaving behind his faint breath. This circle of breath is the cordon, which is used to warn those who have the ability outside the cordon, and once they enter the range, it will be regarded as a provocation.

Nearly a kilometer away from the caravan, Kim put down his binoculars, crouched down behind a snow-covered boulder and said, "They found us." ”

"It's not surprising, the Wanderer is a killer in the dark, and the girl is probably a similar profession. Alice was sitting on the snow, biting on a piece of chocolate: "The girl's breath is very vague, and it is impossible to judge her occupation by the specific breath." My instincts shouldn't be wrong, though. ”

"It's intuition again. Jin rubbed his hands on his head and said, "Then we should go with us?"

"Weishenme: No, they found out about us, but they didn't call us directly. This shows two possibilities, one is that the number of people they have ability is insufficient, and they are unwilling to fight lightly. The second is that they can't tell whether we are friends or foes, so it can be inferred that Zero's camp is not so united and harmonious. Whatever the possibility, it's good for us. Alice had already eliminated a piece of chocolate in the blink of an eye, and swept her lips around with her pointed tongue. There's no doubt that the action is [sexy], but no one else in the wilderness appreciates it except Kim.

After listening to Alice's analysis, Kim looked at his beautiful companion with some surprise. Alice reached out and flicked her head on the amount, and said, "There's still a lot to learn, little ghost." ”

So a soft protest voice came from the snow field: "I'm not a ghost!"

"Why don't you dare to go to my sister's bed if it's not a little ghost?"

Kim Lishi was speechless.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and under the order of old Robb, the caravan continued to move. This time, however, the caravan did not approach the snowfield, but instead leaned diagonally to the edge of the Silver Frost Forest, and after an hour it plunged into the Boundless Forest. Entering the dense forest, it is another world. As far as the eye can see, there are towering ancient trees and undulating mountains. The geographical environment here is more complicated, and it is indeed not suitable for vehicle traffic.

From the beginning of entering the dense forest, Zero silently recorded the geographical environment of the route ahead. Such a complex and changeable environment is where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and outsiders are not familiar with the environment of the mountains and forests, so it is easy to fall into an ambush. Looking at the intricate woodland, Zero frowned. In this environment, even if the three giants are overwhelmed, I am afraid it will be difficult to take advantage.

If you want to take the city of Beates, I'm afraid you will have to find another way.

The Silver Frost Forest was obviously much more "lively" than the snowfield outside, and when the caravan passed, it saw a snow bag suddenly bulging from the snow, followed by a rabbit the size of a dog poking its head out of the snow. These are the "Pretenders", the specialties of the Silver Frost Forest, and the Pretender resembles a harmless rabbit, though of course it is much larger than the rabbits of the old days. But in fact, it is a vicious beast in the cloak of a rabbit, and when it deceives its prey with a harmless appearance, the body of the pretender undergoes a certain degree of deformation. They grow fangs under the rabbit's coat, open their wings for short flights, and large heads shaped like cats and tigers.

In addition to the pretender, there is also a species that looks like a tanuki but has a fluffy and wide tail. When attacking, a rotating horn knife grows at the edge of the tail that can easily tear through the metal. This mutant beast, which resembles a tanuki and has a murder weapon on its tail, is called the Reaper by the inhabitants of Pavarich.

In this huge forest, the Pretender and Reaper are small mutants, and Robb Sr. tells Zero and Yeliu that there are still humanoid mutants living in the depths of the Frost Forest. They resemble human-bears, can walk upright, but have two ugly heads, and this monster feeds on humans, hence the name two-headed ogres.

Of course, in the recipes of mutant beasts, humans are considered to be a relatively wide range of ingredients. But most of the mutant beasts eat humans, but they also eat other beasts. However, the two-headed ogres are different in that they exclusively eat humans, and will occasionally attack Pavarich. In their race, there are some mutant ogres. These mutant ogres were indistinguishable from their own kind at first, and sometimes, hungry ogres would gnaw at each other's heads. And if they devour their other head, the ogre's intelligence seems to improve, and they know how to contact the energy of the elements.

This ogre is capable of driving the lowest elemental energy, and is already an important figure in the clan. They are called sacrifices, and the sacrifices are far more destructive than ordinary ogres, but out of a hundred ogres, there may not be a single sacrifice.

Twenty years ago, Pavarich was not on the scale it is today. At that time, ogres would attack the town once or twice a year, and the town would pay a heavy price to repel the demons who lived in the Frosty Forest. It wasn't until the establishment of trade relations with the city of Beates that these aliens became a buffer between the ogres and Pavary.

Over the years, the city of Beates has stopped the Ogre tribe's repeated attacks for Pavarich, and forced the Ogre tribe to move five years ago, so that Pavarich's safety is truly guaranteed.

But when Zero asked about the aliens living in the city of Pydes, Old Rob deliberately sold the pass, only saying "You will know when you arrive". Amid all sorts of speculation, Zero spent an afternoon of idleness. It may have been the most leisurely afternoon Zero had since waking up from the wilderness, but with Robb Sr.'s motion, Zero knew that the city of Beatis was about to arrive.

This is a relatively flat terrain in the silver frost forest, Zero sits on the overlord snail and looks up, the hillside is slightly sloping, but the overall can be called flat. Ancient trees stand tall, their thick trunks like chimneys pointing straight to the sky. The old trees look bare, so they look bare, but in the spring they sprout buds and new leaves, revealing their incomparable vitality to this cruel shijie.

Admittedly, the formation of hundreds of huge ancient tree trunks was a spectacular sight, but no matter how much Zero looked, he couldn't tell where the entrance to the city of Beatis was. Old Rob seemed to know what Zero was thinking at the moment, and the old man let out a strange dry laugh and felt a strange bone from his bosom.

The bones are hook-shaped, with a hollow middle, like a whistle. But old Rob took it to his mouth and blew it, but no sound came out. After a little thought, he knew that it was not that there was no sound, but that this bone whistle might have a strange structure, blowing out a frequency that humans could not receive. In other words, the Underlanders are able to pick up sounds of this frequency.

The Bone Whistle was supposed to be a gift from the alien race of Pydes, as a code for each transaction, which was indeed a convenient and feasible method.

After a few moments, Zero could feel a slight tremor on the ground, and the six-legged horse and two-headed dog became irritable, and even the slow overlord snail tried to shrink his fat body into a thick shell. After the tremors continued for a few minutes, Zero saw a particularly thick ancient tree a hundred meters away, and the trunk at the bottom of it slowly moved away from a space that resembled an exit.

This ancient tree is about ten meters in cross-section, and it is the thickest of these ancient trees near and far. Nowadays, opening a space about five meters high is like opening a city gate.

The gate to the dungeon.

Unable to speak, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that the gate to the outside world of the city of Beates would be opened under an ancient tree. This kind of cover-up is already clever.

At the entrance to the dungeon, Zero saw a humanoid silhouette in the dark passageway, and the thing made a wave gesture, and Old Rob immediately ordered the caravan to move forward. So the hunters drove the mutants and let them pull their goods towards the exit. It's just that the mutant beasts are very afraid of the dark entrance, and they all look very uneasy. Luckily, the hunters had already trained them, and it wasn't the first time these beasts had come to Bides. Therefore, although he was uneasy, he was still driven by the hunters towards the entrance.

Zero jumped off the Overlord Snail, followed the Hunter's Jiashi to drive the big guy that was carrying him along the way, and adjusted the shimmer vision pattern of his right eye to look into the tree hole. The next moment, a strange and beautiful life came into Zero's eyes.

It was a tall "woman" who, indeed, possessed a body similar to that of a human woman. Its upper body resembles that of a beautiful woman, with long slender hair and beautiful features, but its eyes are gray and dull, which must have been degraded by years of living underground.

Under that beautiful face, there is a pair of fiery hao [breasts], and the tall twin peaks stand proudly in the cold winter, showing its pride to the world. Under the towering mountains, there is a flat belly and a waist with extremely curved beauty. Unfortunately, there is no mysterious forest below the belly, but is wrapped in earthy yellow snake-like scales, with a long tail extending backwards.

The Underground people were very tall, and despite their distinctly feminine features, they were three meters tall in height. Maybe the appearance is annoying, but in this chaotic era, there are also people with strange [sexual] orientations. Those who have a peculiar hode for people and women, and also have sex with alien creatures with feminine characteristics. But no one should be able to afford the gentleness of this three-meter-tall snake girl.
