In the early morning of the third day, Ling and Yeliu stood on the assembly square in the center of the town. All kinds of goods to be traded with Bedes City are gathering in the square, and old Rob is counting the goods. In the past ten years, old Rob has served as a tour guide and the main person in charge of the transaction with Bidis City. There are a lot of goods, even with old Rob's ability, it will take a certain amount of time to count them.
Ling and Yeliu stood aside, looking at the busy figures. He glanced at Yeliu and said, "We're not going to fight this time, so we don't need to squeeze ourselves too tightly."
Ye Liu replied blankly: "For me, it makes no difference."
Zero shook his head, not knowing what to say. This naturally dull girl has her own obsession. But having said that, which person does not have his own attachments, and is willing to do his best for his attachments.
Zero knew that Yeliu must have used some special method to restrain all the murderous aura accumulated in the two days of killing. And once this murderous aura erupts, it will probably be devastating. Destroy the enemy and destroy yourself, right
Zero felt faintly uneasy about a certain secret method Yeliu used. Thinking of the coat of arms on the back of Yeliu's hand, Ling was even more curious about the family behind Yeliu. What kind of family has cultivated such an outstanding killer as Yeliu.
While the two were talking, Old Rob's counting work over there had been completed, and he called them to set off. Today, both Ling and Yeliu changed out of their tactical uniforms and put on the costumes of ordinary residents of Pavalich. Only wearing hunter-specific protective leather armor on the chest and elbows, and carrying an old-fashioned shotgun, he transformed into an ordinary caravan guard.
The two, one behind the other, hid separately among the real guards. Yeliu has used a special method to contain all his aura, while Zero maintains his bioenergy level at the level of ordinary people by virtue of his sensitivity and control over energy. If you don't take the initiative to take action, I'm afraid only those who are strong in the perception domain will be able to detect that there are two capable people hidden in this caravan, Ling and Yeliu.
In addition to furs to keep out the cold, the goods of the caravan also include various foods, such as dried animal meat and canned fruits, which are all calculated by car. There are also some commonly used laxatives, such as aspirin, pain relievers, and hemostatic sprays. From these things, it is not difficult to see that the alien race in Bidis City is similar to human beings in certain physical structures, so they can use human medicines.
According to old Rob, the transactions with Bedis City are basically concentrated in winter and summer every year, and the content of the goods will be adjusted in different seasons. For example, in winter, fur and dry food are mostly used. In summer, there will be more antibiotics. It seems that the subterraneans have insufficient resistance to heat and are prone to get sick. This probably has something to do with their long-term living underground.
Because there are a lot of goods to buy, after all, each purchase needs to make the entire underground tribe use it for two quarters, so the caravan uses as many as a hundred two-wheeled simple carts. After the goods were arranged neatly, they were tied up with strong cables. However, because the special geographical location of Bides City was impassable for motor vehicles, Pavalich trained all kinds of strange and large alien beasts. To act as a coachman.
Like a strange horse with six feet and one eye, it is as big as a cow. After eating once, he can run for two days and two nights without sleep. Then there are overlord snails as big as a house. These guys are extremely powerful, and there is almost no terrain that can defeat them. The only disadvantage is that they are not fast. There are also some double-headed war dogs the size of lions, just like a reduced version of the legendary hellhound. These mutant dogs have long stamina, and the three-headed war dogs pull a cart together, and their speed is not much slower than that of a six-legged horse. .
There are even more unseen mutant beasts acting as coachmen. If the goods are excluded, this caravan is like a circus.
Ling sat on the thick shell of a king snail. The thick shell of the big snail was covered with raised carapaces, and the space between the carapaces was just enough for a person to sit on. Sitting in the space between the carapaces, Ling is like sitting on a chariot. The big snail hardly shakes when it walks, it is like flattening the ground, and people sitting on it can't be more stable. Zero hadn't used the Mutant Beast as a means of transportation yet, so it was a bit of a novelty to sit on the Overlord Snail now.
Looking back, he saw a long line of caravans leaving Pavarich. Yeliu is trying to make herself sit more securely on a six-legged horse, but her natural riding skills are not very good, and the six-legged horse has a bad temper, so Yeliu's small body is always thrown off. After repeated failures, Yeliu didn't know what method she used. The six-legged horse suddenly neighed like it was frightened, but it was crushed by Ye Liu and couldn't move. After a while. The six-legged horse seemed to have lost all its courage, and no longer dared to move around. It was like carrying a natural enemy on its back, and pulled the wagon on the way dejectedly.
Ling shook his head and laughed, Yeliu sometimes became stubborn, like a big child.
In this way, the caravan drove out of the town in a mighty way, heading towards the vast snowfield to the southwest. When the small town is getting farther and farther, even the last outline is gradually disappearing, looking around, the whole world is white, almost as infinite.
The vastness of the world naturally generates a sense of awe, and Zero is no exception. Although he is now standing at the upper level of the entire pyramid of human power, in the wilderness, there is still a feeling that manpower is sometimes limited. No matter how powerful a capable person is, with the power to destroy the world, as long as he hasn't evolved enough to live off the planet, he will maintain a certain respect for the natural universe.
This is the nature of creatures, or a brand of the will of the planet imprinted in the genes of the creatures living in it, thus invisibly controlling the life on the planet to achieve a measure of self-protection.
As for whether this is the case, Zero has no way of knowing. After all, in terms of his current life form, it is still too low-level compared to the planetary will of Agladis. Unless one day Zero can evolve to the same height, perhaps, he will know this secret.
After walking for half a day, at noon, the caravan stopped to rest, and both humans and mutant beasts got half an hour to rest. Zero was still sitting on the thick shell of the overlord snail, tearing off the dried meat with Pavalic flavor, he pulled out a shredded meat, and then sent it to his mouth. After a brief chew, Zero only gets the taste of a generous amount of seasoning. He frowned, but still swallowed the dried meat.
Dried meat doesn't taste very good, but Zero is not a picky eater. However, it is not difficult to see the gap between the small town and Asgard, and the food alone is incomparable. At this time, the wind suddenly moved, and Yeliu appeared next to Zero and sat down. The girl also put a piece of dried meat into her mouth, and tore it vigorously with her two small canine teeth, saying indistinctly, "Someone is following us."
Zero nodded and said, "Since leaving Pavalic, he has been hanging behind us."
"Who could it be?" the girl wondered.
"Who knows. Maybe it was sent by Charlotte to monitor us. Or maybe it was someone from other areas." Zero said lightly.
Yeliu asked seriously: "Do you want to clear it?"
"It's inappropriate now, and the reason is unknown. If we do something, I'm afraid it will affect the whole plan. Set up a cordon, as long as they don't enter, we will pretend not to see it." Zero smiled.
The warning line that Zero refers to does not refer to physical objects, but the aura left by the capable person. Ye Liudang jumped off the Overlord Snail, and quickly ran around the caravan, leaving behind her faint breath. This circle of breath is the warning line, which is used to warn the ability users outside the warning line, and once it enters the range, it will be regarded as a provocation.
Nearly a kilometer away from the caravan, Jin put down his binoculars, squatted behind a huge snow-covered boulder and said, "They found us."
"It's not surprising. Wanderers are killers in the dark, and that girl probably has a similar occupation." Alice was sitting on the snow, biting a piece of chocolate: "The girl's breath is very subtle, and it's impossible to pass the specific information." It can be judged by its breath. However, my intuition should not be wrong."
"It's intuition again." Jin scratched his head with both hands vigorously, and said again: "Then shall we follow?"
"Why not? They found us, but they didn't call us directly. This shows two possibilities. One is that they don't have enough abilities and they don't want to fight lightly. The other is that they can't judge whether we are friends or foes. , it can be inferred that Zero's camp is not so united and harmonious. And no matter what the possibility is, it is beneficial to us." Alice had wiped out a piece of chocolate in a blink of an eye, and swept her lips with her pointed tongue for a week. There is no doubt that this action is very [sexy], but except for Jin, no one else appreciates it in the wilderness.
After listening to Alice's analysis, Jin looked at his beautiful companion in surprise. Alice stretched out her hand and flicked the forehead, and said, "You still have a lot to learn, brat."
Then there was a soft protesting voice from Jin on the snowfield: "I'm not a brat!"
"It's not a kid, why don't you dare to go to sister's bed?"
Jin was at a loss for words.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and under the order of old Rob, the caravan continued to move forward. But this time, the caravan no longer approached the snowfield, but slanted towards the edge of the Silver Frost Forest, and plunged into the boundless forest an hour later. Entering the dense forest is another world. Looking around, there are towering ancient trees and rolling mountains. The geographical environment here is relatively complicated, and it is indeed not suitable for vehicles to pass through.
From entering the dense forest, Zero silently recorded the geographical environment of the advancing route. Such a complex and changeable environment is exactly where it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, outsiders are not familiar with the mountain and forest environment, so it is easy to fall into an ambush. Looking at this intricate woodland, Zero frowned. In this environment, even if the three giants are overwhelming, it may be difficult to take advantage of it.
If you want to take the city of Bedes, I am afraid you have to find another way.
The Silver Frost Jungle was obviously much more "lively" than the snowy field outside. The caravan passed by, and saw a snow bump suddenly bulge on the snow, followed by a rabbit the size of a dog sticking its head out of the snow. These are the "pretenders", a specialty of the Silver Frost Forest. The appearance of the pretender is like a harmless rabbit. Of course, its size is much larger than the rabbits of the old era. But in fact, this is a vicious beast dressed in a rabbit's coat. After deceiving the prey with its harmless appearance, the pretender's body will deform to a certain extent. They will grow tusks under the rabbit's coat, spread bat wings that can fly for short distances, and have a big head shaped like a cat tiger.
In addition to the pretender, there is also a tanuki that looks like a tanuki, but with a fluffy and broad tail. When attacking, a constantly rotating corner knife grows from the edge of the tail, which can easily tear through metal. This kind of mutant beast, which looks like a civet cat and has a long tail, is called the reaper by the residents of Pavalich.
In this huge forest, Pretenders and Reapers are considered to be smaller mutant beasts. Old Rob told Zero and Yeliu that there were some humanoid mutant beasts living in the depths of the Silver Frost Forest. They look like human bears, can walk upright, but have two ugly heads, this monster eats humans, so it is also called the double-headed ogre.
Of course, in the recipes of Mutant Beasts, humans are considered a relatively wide range of ingredients. But most mutant beasts eat humans, but they also eat other beasts. But the two-headed ogres are different. They only eat humans, and sometimes they will attack Pavalic. Among their race, there are some mutated ogres. These mutated ogres start off like their own kind, and sometimes the famished ogres will gnaw each other's heads off. And if it swallows its other head, the ogre's intelligence seems to be improved, and it knows how to contact the energy of the elements.
This kind of ogre can drive the lowest elemental energy, but it is already an important figure in the clan. They are called sacrifices, and sacrifices are far more destructive than ordinary ogres, but there may not be a single priest among a hundred ogres.
Twenty years ago, Pavalic was not on the scale it is now. At that time, ogres would attack the town once or twice a year, and the town would pay a heavy price to fight off these demons who lived in the Silverfrost Forest. Until the establishment of trade relations with the city of Bedes, these alien races became a buffer zone between the ogres and Pavalic.
During these years, the city of Bides has stopped the ogre tribe from attacking again and again for Pavalic, and forced the ogre tribe to move to other places five years ago, so that Pavalic's safety Get real protection.
But when Ling asked about the aliens living in Bides City, the old Rob deliberately kept it secret and only said "you will know when you get there." Amid all kinds of speculation, Zero spent an afternoon doing nothing. This may be the most leisurely afternoon Zero spent after waking up from the wilderness, but following the signal of old Rob, Zero knew that Bides City was about to arrive.
This is a relatively flat terrain in the Silver Frost Forest. Sitting on the Overlord Snail and looking up, the hillside is slightly inclined, but overall it can be called flat. The old trees stand tall, and their thick trunks point straight to the sky like chimneys. The leaves of the old trees have receded, so they look bare, but as soon as spring comes, they will grow buds and send out new leaves, showing their incomparable vitality to this cruel world.
It is true that hundreds of huge ancient tree trunks lined up in an array is a spectacular scene, but no matter how Zero looks at it, he can't tell where the entrance of Bydes City is. Old Rob seemed to know what Zero was thinking at the moment, the old man gave a strange dry laugh, and took out a strange bone from his arms.
The bone is hook-shaped, with a hollow in the middle, like a whistle. But old Rob took it in his mouth and blew it, but no sound came out. After thinking about it for a while, Ling realized that it wasn't that there was no sound, but that the structure of the bone whistle might be strange, and it was blowing out a frequency that humans could not receive. In other words, the underground people can receive sounds of this frequency.
The bone whistle should be given to Pavalich by the foreign race in Bides City as a secret signal for each transaction. This is indeed a convenient and feasible method.
After a while, Zero could feel a slight vibration on the ground, and the six-legged horse and the two-headed dog became irritable, and even the slow-moving overlord snail tried to shrink its fat body into the thick shell. After the shaking lasted for a few minutes, Zero saw a particularly thick old tree a hundred meters away, and the trunk at the bottom slowly moved away from a space similar to an exit.
In terms of cross section, this ancient tree is about ten meters long, and it is the thickest among these ancient trees near and far. Now opening a space that is about five meters high is like opening a city gate.
The gate to the underground city.
He was speechless for a long time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that the gate to the outside world of Bidis City was actually opened under an ancient tree. This kind of concealment skill is already called brilliant.
At the entrance of the dungeon, Zero saw a humanoid silhouette appearing in the dark passage. The thing made a beckoning gesture, and old Rob immediately ordered the caravan to move forward. So the hunters drove the mutant beasts and let them pull the goods and walk towards the exit. It's just that the mutant beasts are very afraid of the dark entrance, and they all seem very disturbed. Fortunately, the hunters have already trained them, and it is not the first time these strange beasts have come to Bides City. Therefore, even though it was restless, it still moved towards the entrance under the chase of the hunter.
Zero jumped off the Overlord Snail, imitating the hunter's posture to drive away the big guy who was carrying him along the way, and adjusted the low-light vision mode of his right eye to look into the tree hole. The next moment, a strange and beautiful life was reflected in Zero's eyes.
This is a tall "woman", indeed, it has a body similar to that of a human female. Its upper body is completely like a beautiful woman, with slender long hair and beautiful facial features, but its eyes are gray and dull, which should be due to the degeneration of the eyeballs caused by living underground for many years.
Under that beautiful face, there is a pair of hot breasts. The high peaks stand proudly in the cold winter, showing their pride to the world. And under the towering mountains, there is a flat stomach and a waist with extremely curvaceous beauty. It's a pity that there is no mysterious forest below the abdomen, but is covered by khaki snake-like scales, and a long tail extends backward.
This underground tribe is very tall. Although they have obvious female features, they are three meters tall in terms of height. Perhaps the appearance is attractive, but in this chaotic era, there are also people with strange [sexual] orientations. Those people and women who have strange hobbies also have sex with strange creatures with female characteristics. But no one should be able to enjoy the gentleness of this three-meter-tall snake girl.
