Zero had to admit how beautiful that graceful figure was when it shuttled among various mutated plants in front of his eyes. Atesa's movements are brisk, with a touch of dancing. Her jumping and jumping seem to be the heartbeat of the whole world, drawing the viewer's attention.
From the soft and boneless hands, to the astonishingly curvy waist, to the slender and strong legs. In Atesa's movements, her limbs naturally presented a rhythmic beauty, and she could hardly take her eyes off that graceful figure.
Just this morning, Gunat asked the Semitic patriarch for instructions to ask Atesa to leave the Death Canyon with zero and two people, so as to save more time to cross the Death Ridge. Originally Atesa was unwilling, because she and many Semites had a natural hostility towards outsiders like Zero. But like other tribesmen, Atesa has only the highest respect for Gunat who almost changed the fate of the Semites.
Since the request was made by Gunat, neither the patriarch nor Atesa can save Gunat's face. That's why the black girl reluctantly took Zero on the way. As if to get angry, Atesa took Zero and the two of them to plunge into the dangerous mutant flora. Fortunately, Gunath gave them some powder before setting off.
These inconspicuous powders can cover up the smell of Zero and Moni, making most of the mutated plants on Death Ridge treat them as ordinary trees. But such powder would not work against Mutant Beasts, which is why two Semites were able to find Zero through the forest last night, but were attacked by the shield snake.
After driving for half a day without stopping, Atesa and Ling were fine, but Moni couldn't take it anymore. The silver-haired girl's face was covered with beads of sweat, and her body temperature rose due to the constant rush, so that Mo Ni's entire face flushed unnaturally. For this girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, Atesa's hostility towards her was slightly reduced.
What's more, although Mo Ni is underage, she has already revealed the amazing potential of a stunning woman. For beautiful things, Atesa, who has lived in the jungle for many years, knows how to appreciate them. Although she didn't say it, she liked Moni quite a lot. Seeing that the little girl was so tired, Atesa couldn't bear to move on. What's more, the object of her hostility doesn't take a breath at all.
Looking at Zero's appearance, Atesa knew that even if she ran like this for a day, Zero might not be exhausted before her.
So the three of them found a place to rest. Atesa grew up on Death Ridge. She was not like an outsider like Zero. The black girl could easily distinguish the difference between ordinary plants and mutants. Under the leadership of Atesa, the three found a relatively safe forest area and rested under a fir tree that towered to the sky.
Zero took out a cowhide bag from his rucksack, which contained clean water drawn from the source of life of the Semites. There are as many as five or six leather bags like this. Of course, Zero does not have these things, but they are the equipment used by Gunnart in his previous expeditions, and they are all given to Zero today.
She gave the cowhide bag to Mo Ni, and the latter was not polite. Mo Ni, who was so thirsty, took the water bag, but still drank three sips sparingly, and then returned it to Zero. The girl knew that those few bags of clean water were not much, and they were saving enough for seven or eight days, so Mo Ni drank very little, even though she was still dying of thirst.
Zero drank less than her, he just took a small sip. But his physique is different from that of Mo Ni. Although it is only a sip of water, in Zero's body, it can guarantee the amount needed by the body organs for most of the day.
Atesa did not rest. She stood on the top of a tree nearly 20 meters away from the ground, pointed to the front and said, "Death Valley is coming soon. Take a rest for 10 minutes, and then continue on your way."
Zero smiled wryly, he couldn't tell that Atesa didn't want to stay with them at all, the black girl just wanted to finish her task quickly and go home. Zero climbed onto the fir tree like Atesa, and the black girl stepped back immediately, and Zero stepped on the treetop on the other side to keep a distance from her. Looking directly in front of the two of them, they were already at the highest point of a certain mountain. Further on, there is a steep downhill road. This piece of jungle vegetation covering the entire Death God Ridge disappeared neatly at the foot of the mountain as if it had been cut by scissors as far as Zero could see.
Outside the green edge like a boundary line, there are red and brown rocks.
This reddish-brown "carpet" stretches down to what the Semites call the Valley of Death. Although that place was called a canyon, when Zero saw it, he knew what kind of a canyon it was. It was clearly a continuous mountain range that was plowed out by something in the middle. It's just that the gully is too huge, so it looks like a small canyon.
In this canyon, Zero saw countless blue lights floating around. They spread throughout the canyon, filling every gap, making Zero frown into a ball. These blue gloomy lights are the Death Flowers. The name of the Canyon is death because of the special landforms in the Canyon. Every day, there is a strong wind in the valley, blowing the Death Flowers flying all over the sky, becoming a natural barrier of the Death Canyon.
Looking at the canyon, Zero guessed that most of it was knocked out by a huge meteorite during the cataclysm. It is precisely because of the passing and even falling of meteorites that the canyon is filled with a large amount of radiation. And it is precisely because of them that the deadly flower of the Grim Reaper has been created. In fact, the intense radiation and changes in animals and plants in the entire Death God Ridge are probably all due to the nearby canyon.
When Ling Wei was often shocked by this natural magnificence, he suddenly heard Atesa screaming beside her. The black girl turned around at some point, looked in the direction they came from, covered her mouth and exclaimed.
He followed suit, his heart beating violently. Right in the mountains and forests of Death God Ridge, a very dazzling smoke rose from the ground. Looking from the direction of zero, Wolf Smoke is no bigger than an arm, but if you calculate the distance, it is a terrifying huge smoke dragon with a thickness of ten meters. In other words, a huge fire is burning in that direction.
Is it a wildfire? Zero thought, but saw the girl shaking violently. Atesa grew up in the mountains, so naturally she has seen wildfires. What's more, although the wolf smoke was huge, the fire was not so fierce, Ling Zi wondered what Atesa was afraid of.
He was about to ask, but the girl suddenly jumped off the tree. Zero quickly followed and shouted, "What's wrong!"
"It's our village... our village is on fire!" Atesa yelled, and the girl's eyes were filled with moisture. She couldn't care less about Ling, turned around and ran towards the Semitic village.
Zero immediately carried Moni on his back, and hurriedly followed behind Atesa. The Semitic village caught fire very abruptly. Even ordinary plants in this jungle have extremely high water content in their bodies, so it is difficult for them to start a fire naturally.
In addition, as soon as they left, the village burned on the back foot. No matter how you look at it, the traces of man-made are more obvious.
On this return journey, they were so anxious that both of them pushed their speed to the limit. Zero has the speed of a fifth-level agility enhancement, even if he runs with Moni on his back, he is not slow. What's rare is that Atesa's speed is not much slower than him, and the two of them passed quickly in the jungle, leaving only two faint afterimages. Not to mention that mutated plants cannot be caught, even those mutated beasts hidden in the mountains were not discovered until they passed by.
In this way, the two spent half the time they had when they came here, and returned to the Semitic village after more than an hour. However, when he came to the entrance of the village, Ling was stunned.
The whole village was engulfed by fire waves, big trees, wooden houses... everything that could burn was put in the sea of flames. And about thirteen wooden stakes were erected at the entrance of the village. On the wooden stakes, Semitic men were passed through and nailed to death on the wooden stakes like skewers. The stakes are lined up in two rows, and one person in the middle is not a Semitic, but the Prophet Gunath.
Gunnart's clothes were stripped, and his palms, chest, throat and legs were pierced with wooden nails and fixed on wooden stakes that were purposely placed in the shape of a cross. Under the stake, blood flowed all over the ground. Someone wrote a line next to it with blood.
"Zero, I'm waiting for you!"
Zero immediately knew who did it.
