In an instant, the wilderness outside the camp exploded into a cloud of dazzling white light, and dozens of white electric flames swept away, immediately burning into flames! The dull sound of impact was long overdue, and when Alice and the Black Owl and the others lifted the tent, the energy violently collided, and the shockwave generated swept across the camp. With their ability, they couldn't help but rush backwards, and the bladed hunters near the camp crashed into the air.

Then there was a series of thunderous sounds, and where Zero and Albert collided, lightning and lightning fires were constantly inspired. A violent jet of energy splattered out, blasting nearby rocks and shrubs to explode and burn!

When the light gradually subsided, the figures of Zero and Albert were also taken into view by the others. The ground where the two of them were located was charred black, as if they had endured the ravages of a thunderstorm, and the ground had even crystallized, and the devastating energy remaining on the surface would exist for hundreds of years.

Albert's broadsword was stuck in Zero's arm, and the blade was three points into the arm, almost chopping off Zero's slender arm. Zero's right hand rests on Albert's left shoulder, and the big man's other arm supports Zero's fist, otherwise Zero's fist should fall on the man's heart. Albert had a wound on his left shoulder, the size of a bowl, as if a normal person had been hit by a sniper rifle at close range.

In fact, the wound was created with a phantom puncture. If it weren't for the shift of the fist, then Albert would have lost his heart now!

Almost flames erupted in their eyes, and they retreated at the same time, then raised their feet and kicked each other.

Zero flies on his feet, spurting blood from his mouth and nose. Albert's condition was even worse, his entire lower abdomen sank, and then there was a thud in his abdomen, and Albert spewed a mist of blood from his nostrils and mouth. He looked at Zero with a strange look, then turned back and left, sprinting with all his might, and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared into the night. It's just that all the way away, but a series of bright red blood beads have been sprinkled.

Zero's kick carried the force of the reloaded warhead, and Albert was like a shot at close range from the heavy artillery. At the same time, it stimulated the effect of a second implosion, and he was repeatedly injured, and Albert's physical strength was a little unbearable, so he didn't fight at all, and turned around and fled.

Falling to the camp, Zero simply lay there without moving, only gasping for air. The empty energy stones on his body closed one by one, and Zero looked a little tired. Jin was closest to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and asked, "How is it?"

"Can't die. Zero spit out a mouthful of dirty blood and laughed: "It's just that this injury can't be recovered in three or two days." ”

He shook his left arm, Albert's knife had slashed into his marrow, if it hadn't been for the semi-metalized bones that had caught the blade. Zero's hand would be cut off, and the blade would slash into his chest, and that was the route Albert had planned. It's a pity that he didn't expect Zero to suddenly burst out with eleventh-order strength, and his physical strength was far higher than he imagined, so he didn't succeed.

Now there was a deep wound on Zero's arm, which, as he said, would be useless in two or three days. Albert will not be better, such an injury makes him unable to fight with all his strength in a short time, and naturally he can no longer hang behind their butts like before. This is also the purpose of Zero, to hit this man hard, so that he can't follow the ghost without a ghost.

The next morning, the Black Owl told them to rest in the camp for a while, and he took the news of Albert's appearance to the nearest clan, who then passed it on to the others who were hunting Albert. The black owl's movements were fast, and he had turned back after more than an hour. Then the team set out to march, and Zero became half wounded, and rode the gale with Leah, led by the black owl to continue their march into the depths of the black earth.

Since the Level 4 area was already the territory of the ten major clans, after going deep into this land, the team could see the occasional clan team passing nearby from time to time. The teams would protect Zero and the others for a short distance along the way, and then press in the direction of the Thorn Forest, apparently searching for Albert. By this point, Zero and they didn't have to worry about being attacked by Albert.

The soldiers of the various clans are their eyes and ears, and the falcons of the Asaks constantly transmit information to the hands of the black owls. If Albert gets close, the black owl will know what to do. After all, this is their home base, and it wouldn't be a joke if Albert was allowed to enter and leave at will like the Level 3 area.

On this day, they did not go fast, firstly, because there were wounded in the team, and secondly, Albert's whereabouts had been locked, and there was no need to rush in at full speed as before to widen the distance between him and this strongman. During this period, the black owl took them to rest in the village of a clan, allowing the Zero and others who came from afar to appreciate the different customs of the alien races on this land.

At sunset, they rushed to the next village and didn't have to camp in the wilderness like before. This Jiba village is a vassal of the Storm Clan, which is rich in archers whose homemade special hunting bows can shoot arrows up to 500 meters away without diminishing their power. There is a squad of storm shooters stationed in the Jiba village, and the leader is an eighth-order warrior.

He demonstrated the Stormwind Clan's superb archery skills to Zero and the others, and the captain shot a multi-eyed lizard that had just emerged from an underground cave in the head from a distance of more than 700 meters.

After eating the Jiba family's homemade barbecued bone steak, the black owl invited Zero to his room. The houses of the Jiba people are all stone houses, made of black rocks to make houses full of original flavor, and inside you can see the use of certain materials to make white pigments, leaving some strange totems on the black walls as decoration. In the middle of each stone house is a brazier, the flames inside which burn all night, and the smoke is exhausted through the skylight above, so that the temperature in the room is constant.

A hide was draped over the ground, and it was the bed of the Jiba. There are three animal skins in the black owl's house, which is a treat that only VIPs can enjoy. He and Zero sat on a single animal skin, and the Shadow Clan elder looked at Zero and said, "Are your injuries serious?"

Zero didn't think that he was just here to care about his injury, and showed an unfathomable smile, he said, "The fight of a high-level powerhouse is so easy to withstand. ”

He didn't directly state the severity of his injury, nor did he tell the black owl how much time it would take to recover from the wound, but responded with avoidance. The black owl frowned at this, and said, "You may not trust me, but that's okay, just as I won't fully trust you. But at least for now, we should give each other a little bit of trust, after all, we are working together. ”

"Don't worry, such an injury won't stop me from healing your people. Zero replied.

The black owl shook his head, "No, I care about your injuries. It's not just because of my people, it's mainly because of the temple. ”

"How?"

"The thing you want to confirm is under the holy mountain. Before that, you need to go through the door of the palatal teeth. To open the door, a vote of the temple elders is required. What is certain now is that I, Gog, Bajin, and the patriarchs of the Stormwind and Black Hammer clans will vote for you. That way you have five votes, but that's not enough. You have to get at least one more vote to be eligible to open the door. ”

Zero Shen said, "I thought that the God of Darkness was the patent of your Shadow Clan, why do you still have to get the consent of the Elders of the Holy Temple?"

"That's to prevent the misuse of the dark god's power, and it's also one of the conditions for the ten clans to agree to protect our Shadow Clan. The black owl said in a deep voice.

"I thought you were standing at the top of all the clans in this land, and it seemed that you weren't having a good time. ”

"There's no way around it, our clan's ability to reproduce is the lowest. So far, there is no fundamental way to improve our ability to reproduce. An ethnic group with few members. No matter how strong the individual is, there will always be such and such inconveniences. We are like parasites that need the protection and help of other clans. At the same time, the other clans also need to indirectly obtain the power of the dark god through us, because that place, only we know the way, and only we can enter it. ”

Zero understands that the Shadow Clan and other clans have a delicate state of mutual restraint and coexistence.

"Believe me, not all elders value courage as much as Gog and don't speak as well as Bajin. Some guys are simply stubborn, and the only thing that can break the ice is strength. If you can't show that you're strong, the chattering guys can drag it out for ten days and a half. I don't think you have the patience to wait that long, do you?" the black owl finally gave his real reason.

Zero nodded: "Don't worry, the injury won't be an obstacle for us." ”

"That's good, at this rate, we can reach the Holy Mountain in three days. Hopefully, by then, you'll be able to regain your full strength. ”

In the darkness of night, hundreds of kilometers away from the Jilu village, at the northern end of the thorny mountains and the black earth, there is a mountain range shaped like a fanged sky. The mountains have natural dark red lines, and from a distance, it looks like the entire mountain range is bleeding from top to bottom. This mountain range is known as the Blood Collar, and there is a low-lying valley between the Blood Collar where a stream meanders through it.

On both sides of the stream were rocky beaches piled up with rocks, and at this moment, a tall figure appeared on the rocky beach. Albert dragged his broadsword to the river, tossed it aside, and buried his whole head in the stream. He drank greedily and gulped the stream's water, then scooped up a deviant fish from the stream, and put it to his mouth and chewed it raw.

The fat deviant fish was quickly turned into a fish bone and thrown to the ground, and Albert wanted to catch some more fish to eat, but the big fish in the stream had already swam away. Mutant creatures are highly alert to danger, and the bloody aura of their kind tells them that the killing machine is nearby, and they will continue to wander around without knowing whether they are alive or dead. Albert didn't care, and picked up the stream and washed his face. jumped directly into the stream, letting the stream wash over the wound on his shoulder. It wasn't until the muscles near the wound had surfaced a pale color that he returned to the rocky beach.

There was a tingling sensation from the wound, a sign that the wound was beginning to heal. This is the result of Albert's entire day, first clearing zero energy from the wound. But it is not possible to heal completely in three or four days. And even if it heals, the combat power will be affected to a certain extent in a short period of time.

Albert didn't care about it, on the contrary, he found it funny. Just like now, some "rats" were wandering around, and Albert had spotted them, but still sitting by the stream, soaking his broadsword in the water and washing away some of the blood from the knife.
