The long winter is coming to an end, and the western tundra will usher in one of the few warm seasons of the year. All kinds of hibernating mutant beasts will awaken from their slumber, giving the entire tundra a vigorous vitality. At the same time, it also means that the hunting season of the year has passed. In the new era, hunting is no longer an exclusive human activity. It is true that humans are still hunting to this day, hunting mutant beasts, aliens, and even compatriots. But other creatures are also hunting them, and at the top of the biological chain is no longer humans, but all kinds of powerful lifeforms.

For example, the Abyssal Mutant.

They are usually large in size, capable of wielding a huge amount of biological energy beyond that of regular mutants. Usually these abyss-level behemoths are stabbed with intelligence, and they may be mutants of a certain type of beast, but they definitely don't have their own race. Each Abyssal Beast is unique, even if there are many of them that can reproduce offspring.

However, the low reproductive ability of the Abyssal Beasts makes the chance of stillbirth unusually high, which makes them more often a single shadow. Perhaps it was the intervention of the will of the planet that brought everything into balance. Otherwise, if the Abyssal Beasts were given the ability to reproduce in large numbers, this planet would have been occupied by them long ago.

Most of the time, the Abyssal Beast is almost asleep. Their bodies are so large that they will consume a lot of their energy and stamina if they are constantly active, which requires the same amount of food to recover. However, food is so scarce for the planet that they have to reduce the frequency of their activities to maintain energy consumption.

So once or twice a year, Abyssal Beasts will eat at once-or-two times. This is also the time when they are infested, and each time the Abyssal Beasts appear, a large number of creatures will be reduced to food.

Abyssal beasts are not picky eaters when it comes to food, and they can eat them regardless of whether they are mutants, aliens, or humans. From that point of view, they are fair.

Now, the climate in the western tundra is gradually warming. The ice that had been condensed for years was slowly melting, the snow line was receding day by day, and a large number of mutant beasts were waking up from hibernation, hungry. But they are not the only ones who feel hungry, Marrog is even more hungry, and his weight is even 10 percent lower than before hibernation.

Because of the war that the Mighty had waged on its territory not long ago, Icewing woke up earlier than expected, and the abyssal beast was still agitated despite a good night's sleep. Abyssal beasts are accustomed to demarcating their territory around their nests, as their territory is usually measured in thousands of miles due to their large size.

When spring warms in the tundra belatedly, Icewing wakes up and begins its busiest hunting campaign of the year. When Marrog began to hunt, it was a disaster for the beasts near the Tulash Mountains.

On a snowy field at the foot of the southern side of the mountain range, a group of snow beasts are running for their lives. From time to time, huge shadows would pass through the sky, and the aura that terrified them would fall from the sky, prompting these fat and juicy creatures to run faster. Soon after, a pack of mountain wolves came from the forest to the east, and they crashed into the snow beasts in groups, but instead of attacking the fattest food in the tundra, as usual, they ran blindly on the snow with the snow beasts.

The huge shadow on the ground swirled around the snowfield like a great white shark, releasing an aura that terrified the mutants, driving the herd out of their nests and concentrating on the snowfield.

Of course, the only one who could do this was Marrog, whose serpent-like body flapped at three pairs of bats, allowing it to hover freely in the air. The two rows of snake pupils on its large head looked at the ground, but in its brain there were images equal to the number of snake pupils. These images are individual entities, unconnected to each other, but combined to form a wide perspective, which is the ability of the ice wings to observe the situation on the ground.

Seeing that the food had been gathered, the Marrog bats gathered their wings and attached them to their sides. It swooped down from the sky like a silver streamer. Coming to the ground in an instant, the bat's wings spread out, and the updraft of the air lifted its massive body, turning the ice wings into level flight. It opened its mouth wide and plowed over the snowfield like a giant shovel!

When the ice wings flew into the sky again, a deep groove appeared in the snowfield, and hundreds of mutants were eaten by Marrog.

Hunts like this continue into the evening, and by the time the Ice Wings fill their bellies and flutter their wings and fly leisurely back to the lair of the Storm Fortress, the Mutants in the vicinity have mostly eaten up. Marrog had been awake for three days, and the food here was almost gone. It decided to change its hunting grounds tomorrow and eat for three more days, so that Marrog could rest for a while and think about what other interesting things he could do.

After a short flight, the ice wings could already see the fortress in the twilight skylight. It was very pleased with the fortress that occupied the Gegnas, and the fortress looked so imposing that it would be a good castle for itself, and it would be better if there were some guards. Icewing was in a daze, and suddenly, it smelled something that seemed to be there.

It's the taste of strangers!

The two rows of snake pupils on the head of the ice wing lit up at the same time, and Marrog spewed a small cloud of ice breath from his mouth before speeding towards the fortress.

When he came to the sky above the fortress, Marrog saw several people sitting or standing in the square of the fortress, looking like travelers passing by. Unfortunately, Icewing wasn't very hospitable, so it didn't mind turning these few who dared to come to its lair into dessert after dinner. Just as it was about to swoop down and kill the men with all sorts of force, one of them suddenly looked up at it.

The golden flame in the man's right eye seemed to burn it, and Icewing suddenly became angry, remembering that it was one of the guys who had disturbed its sleep not long ago. Marrog let out a roar in the air, and the others realized the presence of the ice wings and looked at it.

Ice wings swooped, snake pupils flashed. At the edge of the square, a clump of ice spikes suddenly appeared, and the ice spikes spread towards the man like a spirit. Just as he was about to hit, a burly figure appeared in front of the ice spike, and a red tide surged in his hand and collided with the ice spike. Immediately, there was a overlapping explosion, and the ice spikes more than a meter high turned into a sky full of ice chips.

Marrog saw that the fish-man's appearance had made it know that it was a Gegnah, and that the Storm Fortress had been snatched from these aliens. Ice Wing was not afraid of a Gegeniya, its snake pupils flickered, and the ice mist immediately surged in the sky above everyone, and the ice vertebrae that needed to be hugged by the two of them continued to fall. In its imagination, these people must be scrambling to dodge the ice vertebrae, and then they will ignore the ice spears that suddenly emerge from the ground. These ice guns will pierce their corpses, and the ice breath in the guns will turn these daring creatures into statues.

Unfortunately, the reaction of these people was beyond the surprise of Ice Wings. Not only did the Nagganya wield a red battle axe with ease to sweep away the ice vertebrae, but even the others were more than capable of coping. Especially the human with the golden right eye, I didn't see any movement from him, but the ice vertebrae exploded on his head for no reason. In a fit of rage, Marrog's pupils flashed again, causing the ice elementals gathered at the feet of these people to quickly line up according to their will, and form ice spears that suddenly pierced out of the ground!

Zero stepped back, letting an ice gun stabbed from under his feet miss, and then casually reached out on the ice gun and knocked it, and the ice gun erected above the steel sounded a dense cracking sound, and then exploded into ice shatters. Compared to the others, Zero's movements seem much more relaxed. He always seemed to be able to know where the Ice Gun was coming from and dodge it in advance, and then, to put it mildly, knocked or kicked, turning Icewing's masterpiece into a block of ice.

And from beginning to end, he still maintained an energy level of around the seventh order, and under the perception of Ice Wing, he seemed to be the weakest among these people. As a result, most of Marrog's attacks fell on the others, and Zero was much easier.

After shattering the Icewings' attack, Zero activated the Heartnet before Malrog could launch a third wave. Suddenly, a strange wave swept through the air, and then his voice sounded directly in Ice Wing's brain: "Stop! We're not here to fight you." ”

The sudden sound startled Marrog, and the sea serpent's body writhed restlessly in mid-air, and then Icewing realized that the human with golden eyes was using a wonderful ability to communicate with him. As far as Marrog knew, this ability was only available to the kings of the Gegna, who lived deep in the tundra on the west side of the Tulash Mountains.

"You're just a human being!" Marrog roared in Zero's heart.

Its sound was so loud that it was like a torrent. But Zero is a standing reef, still alive in the tsunami-like sound of Marrog.

"Because a lot happens while you're sleeping. As he answered, Zero opened his mind and visualized what had happened between him and Hamemis.

In the eyes of the others, all movement of the ice wings stopped. It floated quietly in mid-air, and after a moment, even descended into the square. When this big guy hundreds of meters long was entrenched in the square, the square seemed crowded. With the exception of Zero, the others had to step back.

The transmission of telepathic information was very fast, and in less than a minute, Marrog already knew what was going on. Only then did Zero say, "Dear Ice Wing, the pattern of this tundra will change dramatically. Here, I would like to subscribe to an agreement with you. ”

"What agreement?" asked Ice Wing in the heart.

"We're going to rebuild Stormkeep, but you can stay here. And every year when you wake up, we will provide you with plenty of food to save you from the trouble of traveling. But in return, when a foreign enemy attacks, you need to give the necessary support!" Zero said calmly.

After a long silence, Marrog's sonorous voice rang out again: "Human, why do you negotiate terms with me? Do not think that Hammelis has given you his kingdom to you, and you are qualified to make an agreement with me. I only admit the strong, the strong who are equal to me!And you, the weak reptile, can eat you right now if I want to!"

"Weak?" Zero smiled, "Ice Wing, has too long of a deep sleep dulled your senses?" ”

As he spoke, the energy level on Zero's body began to rise, reaching the level of the eighth order in the blink of an eye.

Bing Wing was a little surprised and said, "It turns out that you hid your liliang, but this is not enough"

Before it could speak, it found that the energy of Zero had no intention of stopping, but continued to climb. As Liliang climbed, the surface of Zero's body began to emit a hazy aura of energy. Liliang's ascension began to have an impact on the fortress. First the ground shook slightly, then there was a buzzing sound in the air, and some of the rubble on the ground began to levitate, floating between Zero and Marrog.

If the liliang of the seventh order is a meandering river, then the eighth order has formed a wide lake. And now, Zero has raised his energy to the level of the ninth order, and the lake has turned into an ocean with few borders. This is a qualitative improvement, and after the eighth order, each level of improvement brings about an order of magnitude change. Therefore, before the eighth order, the gap between the ranks can be bridged through skill and strategy. But after the eighth order, the distance between each order is almost like a chasm, and it is difficult for the real Liliang to erase the gap between them through other factors.

It wasn't until now, when Zero released the ninth-order liliang, that the Feng people were really shocked. Zero is now like a nuclear reactor running at full strength, full of explosive energy every minute and every second! The Ninth Order is already in such a situation, they can't imagine what kind of realm it will be after the Tenth and Eleventh Orders.

"This is my liliang, about 80% of all liliang. Zero said lightly.

Marrog snorted and roared, "Even if you take out one hundred percent liliang, even so, you can't reach the level of equal to me!"

"Perhaps, but what if you add the realm?"

"Field!" Marrog had to reestimate the level of zero when he heard the word. With the wisdom of the Abyssal Beast, Ice Wing knew very well that possessing the life of the realm would bring a qualitative leap to his liliang.

"If that's not enough, I'll tell you. From the eighth to the ninth order, it took me less than two years. I have so much potential that even I don't know where the limits are. But what I know for sure is that I can at least reach the level of the twelfth order. Dear Ice Wing, your liliang is around the tenth order according to our calculation standard. But you should also understand that if you are poor, you will not be able to reach the level of the twelfth order in your lifetime. Your abyssal beasts have possessed a huge liliang since the moment they appeared, but your liliang will not weaken or increase. But I'm different" In Zero's right eye, a golden flame surged: "Time, it's on my side!"

"Izuihou ask you, do you want to have an ally with unlimited potential now, or do you want to erect an enemy in the future that you can't defeat?"

"Now, take the choice!"
