Chapter 136: The Line Between Life and Death
Updated: 2012-09-17
The earth shakes and the mountains shake!
The mountain-like body of the Devourer of Filth filled the horizontal space of the canyon, grinding against the walls on either side as it advanced, causing stone chips to fly and the ground to tremble. The Devourer was like a high-speed bulldozer, scooping up the mud and stones and the Death Flower from the ground, all pouring into its bottomless pit.
The speed at which it advanced may not seem fast, but when you convert it to its massive body, it is astonishingly fast. But in the blink of an eye, from the entrance of the canyon, it had come to the turn in the area where the few people were. From zero distance, the Devourer's body was visible in the glow of the Death Flower, the mud flowing, and the gaping mouth that almost took up half the height of the canyon.
"Run!" Atessa shouted, and the girl sped up to the exit.
Zero followed her silently, and the two of them didn't care about saving their energy, just trying to get as far away from the Devourer as possible. Otherwise, once the Devourer is killed, it will not care if the few monkeys dangling on the vines are to its liking. For the Devourer, even if a few people are not its main course, it is still okay as a dessert.
A chase unfolds in the canyon.
The shaking walls of the mountain caused the vines to shake endlessly, which caused a lot of trouble for the two of them to move. Atessa was fine, and Zero had almost lost her grip on the vine several times and fell. Behind them, the Devourer was in hot pursuit, its speed a little faster than the two. As they got closer and closer in pursuit, the stench of the Devourer had begun to desperately burrow into the nostrils of the Zero Three.
Zero lunged forward, reaching out and grasping a piece of vine. I don't want my palms to sweat and become slippery, but this grip can't be grasped firmly, and the whole person swings forward. Fortunately, the other hand did not let go, otherwise he would have fallen. Looking further back, the Devourers were very close, and the distance between the two was no more than a kilometer. From this direction, countless pieces of sediment on the canyon floor were flowing backwards into the mouth of the Devourer, a giant beast worthy of the name of the scavenger of the earth, and the Devourer had no intention of filling his stomach and stopping to rest.
Zero's physical strength had fallen to the bottom, and he silently estimated that he could only move about two kilometers more at this speed. But after that, the speed will drop, and even the force will fall to the bottom. The Devourer's speed has not slowed down, and at this rate, it is safe to catch up before Zero reaches its limit. In other words, no matter what, zero can't run away.
Atesha's situation is better than his, but it is extremely limited. If they couldn't get the Devourer to stop, they wouldn't want to make it through the canyon.
But it was not easy to make the Devourer stop, this beast had a great appetite. As Atessa said, it won't stop until it eats the Grim Reaper flowers in the canyon. The Zero and the two don't have the weapons or abilities to stop the Devourer, neither Zero's Colt nor Atesha's Wheel Saw will be a joke until the Devourer's massive body is over.
To stop the movement of a behemoth like the Devourer, at least a strategic-level weapon of war is required. But at this time, where did they go to find such weapons of war?
Zero continues to move, constantly thinking of a possible strategy in his head. But after he came up with one method after another, he quickly rejected it. Combine the environment they are in, the equipment they carry, and their abilities. After all of this is converted into data, there is no feasible method to support it with sufficient data.
It moved another kilometer or so, and the Devourer was close to them for another three hundred meters or so. Zero Fears finally happened, and as their stamina and speed decreased, the constant speed maintained by the Devourers had gradually narrowed the gap between them. If this continues, they will be overtaken by the Devourer in less than half an hour.
Zero glanced behind him again, and as his gaze swept over the glowing Death Flower in the Devourer's mouth, he suddenly thought of a feasible but dangerous solution.
"How far is it from the exit?" asked Zero.
Atesha didn't know what he was going to do, but she replied, "There are still more than three kilometers to go, but I'm afraid it's ......"
"I have a way. Zero shouted at her, "No matter what, even if you try your best, you have to speed up." I'm going to pull out a distance and time that I can attack!"
"Are you crazy, there's no way to stop that big guy!" Atesha exclaimed.
Zero yelled, "I'm going to try it anyway." Unless you want to die here, or rather, don't you want revenge?"
Atesha's face changed, and she stopped talking. The black girl gritted her teeth, and no longer counted her physical strength, but used them all at once. Suddenly, Atesha's speed of movement immediately increased.
Zero took a deep breath and put all kinds of damage values out of his body. Regardless of whether his body would collapse because of this, Zero used the speed of fifth-order agility. Instantly, he not only caught up with Atesha, but also overtook her and moved between the vines at no reduced speed.
In this way, the two of them moved almost desperately, and in the blink of an eye, half of the distance was passed, and Zero also managed to pull away about 1,200 meters from the Devourer.
He stopped suddenly, and Zero flipped upwards and hooked the vine with his foot, and the whole person fell upside down.
Colt came to his hand, and Zero reached for a sniper bullet at the same time. A visible red light flowed from his fingers to the sniper bullet. When the sniper bullet glowed red all over his body, he pressed the fire elemental flame bomb into the chamber of the gun.
Atesha was almost out of strength, and she didn't have the strength to ask Zero what she was going to do. Zero was in worse condition than her, the wounds on her back had all collapsed, and blood and sweat had mixed together to wet the bandages and tactical suit. But even so, Zero's hand with the gun was still as steady as ever, even though his body was already trembling slightly.
"Leave me alone, don't look back, just keep going until you leave the exit!" Zero shouted, his voice revealing an indescribable majesty that could not be questioned by Atesha.
Atesha listened obediently, and instantly staggered past Zero, heading towards the far exit of the canyon.
Hanging upside down in mid-air, Zero swayed, and let go of his feet as he swung his body towards the mountain wall as much as he could. Immediately, Zero crashed into the direction of the mountain wall. In mid-air, he spun around, adjusting his body toward the Devourer. Just as he was about to hit the mountain wall, Colt's muzzle was in line with the Devourer's mouth.
Zero heavy pressure on the trigger.
The next moment, under the dark red night sky, a fire cloud suddenly rose in the faint blue light of the canyon, it was quiet and beautiful, like a bewitching flower blooming in the canyon. It wasn't until the flowers and leaves were exhausted that it showed its ferocity and rage.
The sound of the explosion drowned out the sound of Zero's gunshots, and the cloud of fire first shrank slightly inward, and then suddenly rolled out in all directions. The raging waves of fire immediately spread along the two ends of the canyon, and the remaining Reaper flowers on the ground were swept by the flames, and the radiation source on them immediately became the most powerful accelerant, constantly increasing the speed and power of the fire waves.
As for the Devourer, it stopped with a wail in the explosion. Zero's flame bomb directly entered its body, instantly igniting and exploding countless Reaper Flowers in its body. The small half of the Devourer's body was blown to ashes, though the beast's sturdy life force didn't die instantly. But it could no longer move, and in the sea of fire that enveloped the entire canyon, it had no choice but to dive underground.
Although the crisis of the Devourer has been resolved, the lives of a few people have not yet been guaranteed. The waves of fire swept in their direction at a great speed, and almost at the moment of the flash of fire, they were already close at hand.
At this time, Zero had already hit the mountain wall.
He inhaled deeply and snorted again. As hot gas erupted from Zero's mouth and nostrils, Zero's blindfold cracked silently. The silver streaks in Jin's right eye suddenly converged towards the middle, and then suddenly unfolded, forming a dragon-like vertical pupil.
Zero kicked on the mountain wall, and his body slammed forward. It was like a viscous feeling in the water, and he drank a lot, driven by huge kinetic energy, and let him break through the water. The air exploded, and Zero's figure suddenly appeared three hundred meters away, and then a series of muffled noises came from the air.
At the moment of life and death, zero has been released. He used the "Rampage" skill, which immediately pushed the ability of fifth-order agility to seventh-order, in exchange for the speed of breaking through the sound barrier.
The waves of fire are rolling wildly, but they are always a beat slower. Zero gritted his teeth and ran, leaving an intermittent afterimage on the mountain wall, he was actually running on the sloping mountain wall! But Zero, who was already seriously injured, now used the rampage, and the injury deteriorated faster. It could have been in a rampage state for 12 seconds, but when Zero used it for 6 seconds, it felt like it was at its limit.
1 second left!
The exit of the canyon is in sight, but Atesha's physical strength has reached its limit. Behind her, a wave of fire swept in, and Atesha felt the devastating heat, her hair curling slightly. She swung forward, but she didn't have the strength to grab the vine on her head, and at Mony's scream, the two of them fell together.
The fire has arrived.
Suddenly, Atesha's whole body shook.
Looking back, it was Zero, who was covered in blood, suddenly pounced from the side. He hugged Atessa and Moni tightly, and bounced towards the canyon exit with all his strength.
The waves of fire almost chased them out of the exit, but at the moment of hitting Zero's back, they were unwilling, and finally rolled back into the valley due to the exhaustion of the explosion.
In mid-air, Zero's back is lit by flames, but they finally make it out of Death Canyon!
Falling to the ground, the three of them fell to the wet mud and rolled into a ball. Zuihou finally stopped, and Atesa lay on the mud floor, staring blankly at the night sky with dark red radiation clouds, unable to believe that she was alive.
If it weren't for Zero Zuihou's puff, they might have fallen short. The flame was ignited by the radioactive substance on the Reaper's body, and it was above ordinary flames in terms of heat and harm, and it was even highly poisonous. Atesha was still able to breathe the air outside the canyon, thanks to Zero.
However, the liliang and speed shown in Zero's pounce, Atesha felt an ominous smell. It was as if he had bought his life for nothing, and it was not his own ability.
As soon as she had the idea, Mony's scream rang out next to her, "Zero, what's wrong with you!"
