Catherine looked at her hand that Allen had bitten, frowned first, then put it under her nose and smelled it as if she found something, and finally said in surprise: "Have you ever drank the blood of a king snake?"
Allen was soaked in snake blood and drank some, but not much. The most important thing is that the devil's praise directly extracted the essence of snake blood and injected it into his body from the pores of his whole body. He didn't need to explain these things, he just nodded his head as an answer.
"So that's the case. Don't tell me you have a second source of power with different attributes. That should be the power of the King Snake that hasn't been fully digested." Catherine stood up and said.
The murderous intent on her body disappeared.
Allen thought to himself that you said it yourself, so that she would not suspect the devil praise. Allen secretly rejoiced that if Catherine hadn't blocked his movement to draw the knife just now, otherwise he would have to go all out to face an opponent of Catherine's level once the devil's salute was offered. At that time, I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to.
Now it is a different situation.
Catherine circled him three times and said, "No wonder your smell is different from others. I'm also surprised that a weak guy like you should make me unable to kill. It turned out that the blood of the king snake was at work. I really didn't expect that you did what I always wanted to do."
Allen was a little confused: "What do you want to do?"
"Kill the snake and drink the blood." Catherine said succinctly.
"You want to kill the king snake? You're not..."
Catherine sat back on the sofa, crossed her legs and said, "I used to live on the surface. One year, the Dark King Snake attacked our village. Many people died, including my parents. I was young at that time, and a few others The children who were older than me were taken away by the king snake. It's strange, it didn't kill us, but gave us to eat. Of course, you don't have to expect a dangerous species to give you roast meat or bread. But at least, we survived. "
Also working with dangerous species, Catherine's experience is different from Allen's.
After being caught in the snake's nest, there were older children who tried to escape, but they were all caught by the king snake afterwards. In the end, it was either slapped to death, or thrown directly into the stomach. So the rest of the children didn't dare to pay attention like this anymore. Besides Catherine, there would be one boy and two girls, and these three children were much older than Catherine. For the first two or three years there was no difference, until when the boy was 15 years old, he disappeared.
Then the next year, it was another girl. Catherine soon knew that it was not missing, but was eaten by the Dark Dusk King Snake.
Kingsnakes raise them like human poultry and eat them when they are adults. When the third girl was also eaten, Catherine was alone in the nest. She knew what she had to do, otherwise, when she was an adult, she would not escape the snake's mouth.
Catherine began to observe the habits of the king snake and practice catching prey by herself, and everything went according to her plan. Until Lu Sen's arrival completely disrupted her plan.
"Lu Sen killed the King Snake and spilled the snake's blood on the ground. What a waste. At that time, I only lay down on the ground and drank a couple of sips before I was taken away by him. But don't think he was kind, if it wasn't for later I ignited the fire, improved by leaps and bounds in source power and combat skills, and finally became a major general of the Federation. Then the best result is for Lu Sen to give me to a man with certain hobbies." Catherine looked at Allen and said: "Obviously, you have absorbed snake blood, and your body has shown some signs of evolution. But don't think that the blood of the king snake has this effect."
"I know, they can also prolong life." Alan nodded
Headway.
Catherine smiled: "It seems that you really don't know that the dark twilight king snake is a very special dangerous species. Even in all the years I have seen and heard in the outer domain, there is no dangerous species that can match it The special thing about the Dark Dusk King Snake does not lie in its supernatural powers that confuse the mind, nor does it lie in the fact that snake blood can prolong life and promote partial evolution of life forms. What is truly extraordinary about it is a characteristic, evolution."
"Constant evolution to adapt to the environment, this almost unlimited evolution should come from the most primitive genes. Just like ordinary snakes will shed their skin, king snakes will instinctively choose to evolve in order to adapt to the environment. This makes it, almost in the Survive in known hostile environments."
Catherine sighed softly: "Of course, I didn't know this before. I didn't know until I joined Death Spread and read some experimental reports. It's a pity that there are very few alien species like the Dark Dusk King Snake left. I'm afraid the whole earth, There are only three or so left."
She rolled her eyes and looked at Alan: "You who drink snake blood will gradually have the characteristics of a king snake. That's why I judge you to be dangerous, and once this news is known to Lu Sen, I think he He will desperately squeeze out your blood. Getting your blood is no different from getting the blood of the king snake. You don’t know, he still regrets recklessly killing the king snake that kept me in captivity.”
"What do you want to do to me?"
"I don't know yet. Anyway, it's rare to meet someone who drank the blood of the king snake. I also want to see how you will change in the future." Catherine shook her head and said.
Perhaps, Ellen thought, she was assessing the dangers and benefits of drinking snake blood. Once it is judged that it will bring her great benefits, Catherine will never allow herself to live. But evaluation takes time, and Allen also takes time.
"You can go now." Catherine stretched herself, jumped off the sofa and said, "Remember to use your hands and feet on the fire rifle, it's best to delay the time. It should be a few days before your teacher will return to the interstellar The line of defense, you will be able to escape by then. There is also the secret of snake blood, don’t tell anyone, if you don’t want to be thrown into the laboratory.”
"Thank you, Major General, for your advice." Allen said, "If there is nothing else, then I will leave."
"Yeah." Catherine nodded.
Allen walked out of the gate, and Catherine's voice floated out: "If Lu Sen asks about tonight, you tell him that you don't know anything."
After saying this, the automatic door closed completely.
When leaving the officer's dormitory, the guard looked at Alan in amazement, obviously wondering why he could come out alive. Allen only felt that the situation was complicated now, walking on the road, thinking about the next countermeasures in his head. Suddenly someone called his name, looked up and saw Lucy.
The girl has blond hair and high beams, and she is as energetic as usual. She has a noble status, even in the fortress where death spreads, Lu Sen will treat her as a distinguished guest and dare not neglect her. Lucy's situation is much better than Allen's. She trotted up a few steps to greet her, took Allen's hand and said, "I went to the workshop to find you just now, and your assistant said you left early. Where did you go?"
"It's hard to say." Allen smiled bitterly.
Lucy raised her eyebrows: "Why, did that old man make things difficult for you? How about I go and tell him to let us go back, even if he doesn't dare to say no."
"No, don't do that." Allen shook his head. Lucy has a special status, but this is not Ida Huaxing after all. In case Lu Sen was offended, it would not be difficult for the veteran general to get the black hand to kill Lucy. If this matter is planted afterwards
In Windsor Bello's body, it was a fatal blow to Marshal Tanlang.
Lucy didn't think as much as Alan, but she was not stupid, of course she knew that she could only talk. If Lu Sen really cared about her identity, he wouldn't have dared to ostentatiously go to the blood eagle base to be an important person. She came with Alan, on the one hand because she didn't want to be separated from Alan, and on the other hand, she hoped that Lu Sen would be more or less afraid of her identity and dare not mess with Alan.
"Our situation here is very complicated. Fortunately, we now have an ally. For the time being... it's still reliable." Allen whispered.
"Who is it?" Lucy asked curiously.
Allen whispered in her ear, "Catherine."
"That black and white head?" Lucy wondered, "How could she... Wait, she must have taken a fancy to you!"
Allen was a little dumbfounded, and said, "It looks fancy, but it's not what you think."
Then she simply told Catherine and her encounters and the secret that she was soaked in the blood of the king snake. After hearing this, Lucy's eyes twinkled: "That woman is worried and kind."
"I know. Here, the only ones I can trust are you, and Willick and the others." Allen said honestly.
Lucy said with a smile, "I'd be happier if the last sentence were removed."
"So what are your plans now?" she asked again.
"Procrastinate." Allen said: "As Catherine said, procrastinate until my teacher comes to Lu Sen to ask for someone. I don't know what support Lu Sen and the others have, but they didn't break their face with Sirius at all. But if the teacher comes to the door, unless Lu Sen wants to cause a war between the old and new parties, he will have to let us go. Before that, Catherine was our half amulet."
Lucy nodded, and said, "Where did your teacher go?"
"It seems that I went to Dark Star to take care of Queen Rose."
A flash of lightning flashed among the clouds, and the sky and the earth were suddenly white. In the flickering of electric light, Windsor Bellow's heroic face appears and disappears in the uncertain light. The wind howled, and the sky and the earth were chilled. This is a dark planet. Even during the daytime, the surface of the dark star is only very dim. What's more, it's night now, and I can't even see the king's finger.
Except for the thunderbolt lightning flashing across the sky from time to time, which occasionally brings some rare light to the ground, there is no natural sky light.
Every light and thick electric snake shuttles through the clouds with high-voltage current, and the ground is exposed to the alternation of black and white from time to time. In that brief light, Windsor Bello could be seen standing proudly on the top of a steep mountain. At the foot of the mountain, densely packed strange creatures are swarming and rushing towards the mountain. However, when they reached halfway up the mountain, they dared not move forward. It seems that there is an invisible boundary there, and if it is crossed carelessly, it will lead to disaster.
Another thunderbolt passed over Windsor Bello's head, and the Marshal's long coat fluttered in the strong wind. It can be seen that she is holding an ultra-long heavy weapon in her right hand, which is almost as tall as her. Light lines appear on the surface of the gun body, the lines are beautiful and mysterious, and the source power flowing in them is so strong that it is even more staggering. This weapon is more like a hand cannon than a heavy sniper, and it is naturally the endless fortress of Windsor Bellow's source device!
Holding the endless fortress in hand, Windsor Bello raised her voice and said: "Smaug, if you are brave enough, get out of here! You are in vain calling yourself the king of Ghana, so you will only send these cannon fodder to die?"
The voice of Marshal Tanlang may not be so sharp and high-pitched, but it echoes continuously among the peaks and spreads across thousands of miles.
