Chapter 394: The Uninvited Guest (1)

Another damn handover.

At the same location, Zero watched with some disappointment as the strong scorpion men moved barrels of oil from somewhere in the city of Beatis to the small square in front of the warehouse, and the old Rob himself ordered and signed them. The oil will be temporarily parked in the warehouse and will be taken away by the caravan tomorrow. Zero thought he could see the Well of the Abyss, but now it seems that he was delusional.

But this is also normal, the Well of the Abyss must be a secret place for the city of Bides, how can it be allowed to be visited by outsiders casually.

After the old Rob finished signing, he seemed to see someone, but he bowed with one hand on his chest in the direction of the south above. Zero followed his gaze and landed on a strange being.

It also has feminine features, but this subterranean is more slender than the snake woman. Its upper body was not fully exposed to the eyes of other beings, and although it was not dressed in anything resembling clothing, a brown carapace obscured its moving body. The carapace seems to be innate, so when it spreads to the lower body, it naturally transforms into the limbs of some kind of insect.

It has a spider-like belly and three pairs of feet that support its body. This makes the creature in front of it look like a hybrid of a woman and a spider, with a certain almost eerie beauty.

Next to this beautiful spider, there are five snakes, women, and scorpion men. These ten Underworld warriors were different from ordinary soldiers, they all had strange tattoos on their bodies, but they didn't know what they meant.

As Old Rob bowed, the beauty spider nodded to the old man. When it looked at Zero, its eyes became sharp, with a certain reproachful tone. Zero remembered their strange likes and dislikes, and quickly lowered his head. At this time, old Rob came over and muttered: "I didn't expect the priest to come, it's really a monster, and it hasn't changed at all in the past twenty years." ”

Zero turned to walk with him and asked in a low voice, "That's their leader?"

"So to speak. Old Rob scratched his head and replied, "These monsters worship the abyss, believing that their king Naga is asleep in the abyss, and one day will awaken and lead them back to the abyss." Every spring, they hold a festival. The thing that looked like a woman and a spider, was their chief priest, presiding over the entire city of Pydes, and was regarded by these monsters as the agent of the Naga on the earth. ”

By this time, Zero had a rough understanding of the strange form of this subterranean alien race. In terms of weapons and city buildings, they have advanced technology and craftsmanship. However, their culture stayed in the stage of primitive feudal god worship. From a human point of view, this is a very contradictory phenomenon. The reason for this deformed civilization may be related to the environment in which they live.

Even Zero didn't know that while he was observing the people of the earth, the chief priest was also observing them.

In the eyes of this beautiful spider, Zero, old Rob and the other caravan members. They present a spectrum of colors in the eyes of this strange creature, and when these spectra overlap, they produce three-dimensional images. Gazing at these images, the chief priest said in their own language, "How is the ritual of the abyss prepared?" ”

Standing on the right hand side of the beauty spider, a strong scorpion male warrior wrapped one hand around his chest, bowed his head and said, "Respected Sacrifice Chief, my King Naga's genetic completion has reached 94% of the level. If there are no accidents, it will soon be 100 percent. ”

"Very well, thanks to these humans. A grim smile appeared at the corner of the priest's mouth: "This occupies the life of the earth, and the genetic fragments in the body are so diverse and complex. Otherwise, even if I get a revelation from my mother, I will not be able to complete the genes of my king Naga. As long as our king awakens, it will be the time when the king of the abyss will come to the earth. At that time, the humans of Pavarich will be the first meal of my king when he wakes up. ”

"A greedy creature like this peeking into the blood of our abyss should have disappeared from the earth a long time ago!" Leaving these words, the chief priest turned around and slowly left with the support of his clansmen.

It was late at night.

In the rest area of the caravan, Zero opened his eyes. He sat up, his movements soft and silent. Everyone had already gone to sleep, and even the two Underworld warriors who were on night guard outside were leaning against the wall and napping. When Yeliu came to Zero's side, she had already taken off her hooded cloak and put a colored black leather armor on her bandaged body.

The leather armor was smooth and shiny, with few seams, and it was like a second skin on Yeru's body. This is the latest stealth combat leather armor developed by Asgard, the thickness of the leather armor is less than 1CM, and the weight is almost negligible. The surface is designed with a slight arc to minimize wind resistance when the wearer is moving. It's just that this set of leather armor called "Latent Shadow" is different from the full-coverage design of the Night God, which only focuses on protecting important parts and joints such as the chest, arms, and knees, and it is not satisfactory in terms of defense.

This is the combat armor that Zero specially bought for Yeliu before leaving, and although the latent shadow is not well defended, it is very suitable for a killer-type ability like Yeliu. Compared to the leather armor that Yeru used to sew by hand, the latent shadow is much better in every aspect. When she got this set of combat armor that day, although Yeliu didn't say anything, it was not difficult to know from the sparks in her eyes that the girl loved this gift very much.

At this moment, Yeru, who was dressed in a latent shadow, tied up her long hair tightly to avoid unnecessary interference. Two blacked-out composite daggers are pinned to the outside of a pair of thighs to make it easy to draw at any time. Other than that, Yeru has no other equipment.

For the Nightbringer, her body itself is a lethal weapon.

Zero took off his disguised clothes, revealing his close-fitting Eigod Tactical Suit, and then took out a carrying device from the backpack where the dry food was kept. From the carrying gear, Zero took out a watch for Yeliu to wear. This humble watch hides pocket-sized tools such as laser scanning, which can be used by users to scan terrain. Zero took one out and put it on, the two watches had been modulated, and the built-in scanning system was connected to the terminal in Pavarich. When the scanning was complete, Beonliz and the others were able to get a detailed three-dimensional topographical map of the city of Bides.

"Listen, we're not here to fight this time, so try to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Zero said simply, gesturing with his fingers, "We divide into two directions, you go up and I go down, and we meet in the middle." Do you know how to use the scanner?"

Yeliu shook her head honestly, and Zero explained to her how to use it again. This thing is not complicated to use, and Yeliu will learn it. After the explanation, Zero made a gesture to signal the start of the action. Yeliu nodded, her figure flickered, and she had disappeared from Zero's sight. Even Zero couldn't detect how Yeliu moved, she couldn't make a sound, her energy didn't overflow, and she should have used some special techniques.

Zero smiled, filtered his thoughts, activated the ability to jump shadows, and used the shadow in the corner of the house as a medium for the ability to activate, and Zero's figure disappeared into the room silently. In the room, everyone was sleeping soundly, but no one noticed that Zero and Yeliu were gone.

Ryu's movements are light and fast, and she borrows certain footwork to always make herself appear in the hidden places of various buildings, or in the blind spots of patrolling soldiers. She is like a nocturnal cat, walking with gentle steps through this huge dungeon. She is like the wind, unpredictable in her movements, one moment at the bottom of the bridge, and the next moment clinging to the vertical cliff wall.

Compared with Yeliu's changeable and complicated various special actions, Zero's actions are much simpler, but the efficiency is no worse than Yeryu's. The environment of Beatis City is almost advantageous to Zero. The three-dimensional construction of the city makes it inevitable that there are shadow areas in many places, and with the support of the wanderer's ability to jump shadows, Zero constantly flashes between various shadow areas.

The distance of each flash was about 100 meters, and after dozens of flashes, Zero had already come to the bottom of the city of Bides. This city, built underground, has a very clear class character.

Zero is moving while not forgetting to observe the surrounding environment. He found himself and his caravan in the upper central part of the city of Pydes. This area is mostly inhabited by ugly dwarves, and if you divide it into human cities, the area above the middle should be a slum or something, and it is also the area where the lower classes of Pydess live.

And the further down, the higher the class. Warriors like the snake woman and the scorpion man mostly live in the lower central area, and they occupy a third of the city. As for the area below the city of Pydes, the architecture is becoming more complex and elaborate, and decorative techniques such as reliefs can already be seen here, indicating that the nobility of the underground tribes inhabited this part of the area.

From Old Rob's words, it is not difficult to understand that the underground tribe is a foreign race that worships the abyss, so according to the class status, the closer to the abyss, the more noble the area is. As for the forbidden well of the abyss in the city of Pydes, it is located at the very bottom of the city.

Another shadow jumped, and Zero appeared on the periphery of a square building. He had seen several buildings like this when he came, and knew that the Underground people had a function to distinguish their functions from the shape of the building. A square building like this should be a function similar to that of a human laboratory. It's just that the building located below the city not only has the symbols and characters of their race on the outer wall, but also has a circle of reliefs at the top of the building. The relief content is a variety of pictures of people of all colors bowing to the Naga king, and such content appears in many places throughout the city, and it is not difficult to see the status of the Naga king in the hearts of the underground people.

Zero wanted to continue through the shadows, but heard a low scream from the other side of the wall. The sound didn't sound like a human, but it sounded like it was made by an underworldr. Despite not knowing the foreign language, it was not difficult for Zero to hear the slightest taste of pain in his voice. His heart moved, his figure flickered, and by the time he appeared, he had already entered the interior of the building.

Zero appeared behind a load-bearing column, and when he looked out behind the column, he saw that it was a hall several hundred meters square. There are stone beds in the hall, and the stone beds are arranged 10 by 10, and there are as many as 100 of them. On each stone bed lay an underworldr, with snake women, scorpion men, and even a few dwarven laborers. From time to time, these subterraneans let out moans, and their voices were tinged with pain.

The underground people lying on the stone bed looked stunned, and their bodies were ulcerated in different areas, as if they were a precursor to the genetic collapse of human beings. In the corner of the hall, there are rows of medicine shelves. Zero flickered, and appeared behind one of the medicine shelves, only to see that most of the medicine shelves were filled with antibiotics, as well as some commonly used human poop medicines, such as aspirin.

Zero remembers that the caravan carried a considerable number of medicines, of which aspirin and antibiotics were the most. In Asgard's materials on aliens, there is almost no mention of the use of human drugs by aliens, because different races have great differences in their physical and genetic structures. This makes medicines that are useful for humans can be poisons for aliens.

But it's strange that the Underworld use a lot of human medicine. As he was thinking, he heard a loud scream in his ears. But on a stone bed in the distance, a scorpion male warrior suddenly grabbed his body so hard that when his hands rose and fell, he picked up a large piece of his flesh and skin. As soon as the screams began, footsteps sounded outside the house, and Zero knew that he couldn't stay, and his figure had disappeared into the hall in a flash.

The hall was supposed to be a hospital room, and the people lying on the stone beds were undoubtedly patients. I just don't know what disease they are suffering from, it seems to be serious, but they use human poop medicine, which is really strange.

Zero did not go far, but hid outside the hospital room. A moment later, several dwarven slaves pulled out a corpse from the hall, which was none other than the scorpion man who had been screaming frantically. They didn't see what to do with it, but threw the corpse into the abyss. Zero leaned forward slightly, and then disappeared into the shadows. When it reappeared, it was under an overhead overpass.

There was a tremor in the air as a heavy object falls, and Zero leans out from under the overpass, and with a single reach, he catches the body that the dwarf has left behind. Zero immediately flashed again, appearing in the shadows of a nearby building. He quietly put the body down and took out a vessel from the carry-on. This is a container for storing genetic specimens, and with a flick of the hand, a scalpel is revealed with an energy device. He quickly cut off a piece of flesh from the corpse, placed it in a container, and carefully stored it in his carrying gear. He's going to bring this specimen back, and maybe someone under Beonliz can find out what disease the Underworld people have.

This may be a major breakthrough in the study of the underground people.

After doing all this, Zero threw the body into the abyss. He continued to lean underneath the city of Beates, and when Zero flickered a second time, he heard a "plop" sound, presumably the corpse had fallen to the bottom. From the sound of the sound, it seems that there is an environment similar to a lake at the bottom of the city of Pydes, otherwise the corpse would not have heard the sound of falling water.

Zero's heart jumped suddenly, it might not be a lake of earth, but a mine of oil.

Well of the Abyss!
