What makes Ling feel strange is that in the face of such a [sexy] snake girl, all the men in the caravan lower their heads, but no one is willing to take a second look at that enchanting body. The snake girl seemed to be aware of Zero's gaze, and suddenly, a dark cross appeared on the beautiful face, followed by a face that opened in different directions. After the face was opened, it turned out to be a terrifying mouthpiece, from which there was a hissing sound of "huchihuchi", as if it was roaring at Qi.
Zero finally knew the reason. Anyone who looked at the beautiful woman with breasts one moment and suddenly turned into a strange shape the next moment would be frightened. It is no wonder that the men in the caravan turned a blind eye to the snake girl. The concentration of these guys It's far from excellent.
Old Rob hurriedly said: "They don't like to be watched, that's tantamount to provocation, so don't look at it."
After speaking, the old man stepped forward to make gestures again. The snake girl withdrew her mouthpiece and changed back to those sweet and peaceful faces. This strange life that combines both beauty and ugliness made way for the caravans to pass beside it, and continued to move underground.
Zero has learned to behave well, he no longer looks at Snake Girl. With his head down and half of his face covered by the hood, Zero and other hunters drove the overlord snail to the depths of the tree hole. After entering the tree hole, there is a straight downward passage. When I first walked in, I felt that the surroundings were pitch black. You can walk up a short section, and you can see luminescent crystal mothers or light algae on the stone walls on both sides. Not only does it provide lighting, it also embellishes the underground world like a sea of stars.
The passage kept sloping downwards, and after walking about 500 meters, Zero saw an arch. The canes of many plants are coiled around the arch, but the center of the arch has been cleared, and there are strange symbols made of glowing mica on it. These symbols are similar to human hieroglyphs, but each symbol seems to hide more information.
With a shudder in his heart, these symbols should be the words of Bydes City. As for the alien race that has created characters, it is conceivable that they already have advanced civilizations, but they are far from comparable to the alien races like the El race that have just formed their language.
Walking through the arch, a spectacular underground world appeared in Zero's eyes. For a moment, Zero suspected that what he saw was an illusion. The underground city zero has also seen one or two, like a Titan city in the wilderness near the coastline. When Ling first entered Titan City, he felt that the dungeon was very magnificent, but compared with the current city of Bides, it was nothing.
The underground race, a strange life race, has almost hollowed out the underground space of about 5 kilometers. There are thick stone pillars with a diameter of about ten meters standing up one by one. They act as load-bearing pillars to ensure that the upper strata will not collapse. . There are all kinds of luminous mica and light moss on each stone pillar. These things are flickering, exuding a hazy brilliance that wraps around the stone pillars, exuding a strange beauty.
And below it is a majestic dungeon. The structure of Bydes City presents a complex three-dimensional composition. It is not built on a plane, but is built according to the undulations of the terrain and the direction of the rock formations. The complex structure of the entire dungeon, coupled with the embellishment of mica light moss, makes the dungeon gorgeous and suffocating.
The buildings of the subterranean race are also completely different from those of humans. Their houses are more like huge eggs, distributed in every corner of the city. The houses are connected by complex passages extending in all directions. The passages and passages intersect up and down, weaving a dazzling traffic network. Such an environment fell into Zero's eyes, and he was almost certain that the city of Bedis would be the most unfavorable environment for street fighting.
If the enemy rushes into the city of Bidis rashly, even if the army is several times larger than that of other races, it will be completely cut off by such a complicated transportation network, and then harvested by the underground races who are familiar with the environment.
But they don't know whether such a transportation network is unintentional or intentional. If the latter, then the wisdom of this alien race cannot be ignored.
In the middle of the night city, another huge statue stands. The statue is very similar to the snake girl who guides the way. The difference is that the statue has six arms and three faces facing the center and the left and right sides. The statue is probably three hundred feet high, and it almost runs through this three-dimensional city. Zero can only see the upper body, while the lower body is located in the dim city below, almost blending into the darkness.
This statue has obvious female features, so the underground clan should be the mother clan. Zero guessed so, and as the caravan went deeper into Bedes City, Zero also saw more and more underground tribesmen. Among these alien beings, the most common one is the snake girl who is nearly three meters tall. These snake girls are in groups of four or four, swimming through the complicated passages, like soldiers on patrol.
The patrolling Snake holds a spear. The body of the spear is made of metal, but the tip of the spear is full of energy. Judging from the fact that the tip of the energy spear did not shake, the energy spray of the spear maintained a relatively stable state. The snake girl is holding an energy spear, and when passing by, the tip of the spear will shed a faint stream of light in the air.
In addition to the snake woman holding the spear, after a while, Zero saw the man of the underground tribe again. Males are shorter than females, only less than two meters tall, but they are as strong as a hill. They also had their upper bodies bare, but their lower bodies were not snake bodies, but scorpion-like joint limbs. These scorpion men held a strange weapon in their hands, with a sharp front end and a round back end. The circular part is embedded with luminous crystals, and the crystals occasionally overflow with streams of light. The streams of light flow quickly across this object, and finally disappear on the sharp mouth of the front end.
It seems that this kind of thing should be a gun for long-range attack, but I don't know why.
But judging from the energy spears and this weird gun, the underground race has a technological civilization that far exceeds that of the El race. Weapons like energy are relatively high-end weapons of the new era even in Asgard. But in the city of Bedis, it seems to be the regular equipment of ordinary soldiers, but the power of these weapons is not yet known.
In addition to snake women and scorpion men, there are other underground tribesmen, both men and women are short in stature and ugly in appearance, but they don't have snake body or scorpion body. They are no different from human beings, but they all carry a meat bag on their backs, like people on their backs. These underground tribesmen should be ordinary residents. They did not wear weapons on their bodies, but instead carried various tools. They are about climbing, on the dome-like house, between the steep rock walls, beating with the tools in hand, as if the workers are perfecting the construction of the city of Bedes.
In Zero's eyes, no matter the sexy snake girl or the majestic scorpion man, they are far inferior to these dwarf-like little guys who are only one meter tall and are more suitable to be slaves. After all, Zero needs workers who are good at their jobs, not soldiers who fight. What's more, no matter how brave the soldiers of the foreign race are, they are still not as flexible as human soldiers in command.
With different races and different civilizations, communication is naturally full of obstacles. On the ever-changing battlefield, no matter how insignificant a communication barrier is, it may lead to the defeat of the entire battle.
Zero can already foresee that when the city of Bedis is captured, the soldiers will be executed if they are not in the battle. After all, the victors don't want this race to have any combat power left, but those sexy snake girls should keep some to sell to those who have special hobbies for collecting.
As for Ling, he only needs to be obedient and able to work as a worker.
While walking, there were bursts of screams. Judging from the sound, it was the sound of human beings. Zero's expression changed, but he realized that it wasn't from his own caravan. He immediately traced the source of the sound, and finally landed on a square building in the distance. This square building is a different kind of city from Bedes, it looks like a cube in appearance.
A huge symbol was engraved on the side facing zero. At this moment, the symbol split from it, but opened a door. A few snake girls walked out with several human corpses, and threw the corpses down the dungeon. And the bursts of low shouts still came from the inside of the building.
"Don't look at it." Old Rob walked to Zero and said in a low voice.
"What's that?" Zero asked.
"It may be a laboratory, or a slaughterhouse. Who knows, I only know that the soldiers in Bedes City go to the wilderness to catch some refugees every year. As for whether they are used for research or eaten as food, I don't know. I don’t want to know. Anyway, it’s good that they don’t have Pavalic’s idea.” Old Rob replied.
Zero silence.
In the turbulent age, human beings are no longer the only intelligent life. With the emergence of more and more intelligent races, human beings are the intelligent race with the largest base, and it would be strange if life forms such as the underground race that have developed a higher civilization do not capture human beings to study. All of this is for survival. From the standpoint of human beings, the actions of Bedes City are undoubtedly evil, but from the standpoint of alien races, this is no different from human beings studying them.
In this chaotic age, morality and justice have become very blurred. Perhaps in this evolutionary competition, the final winner can forge the crown of justice for himself.
Who is right and who is wrong is no longer important, what matters is who survives to the end.
Zero wants to survive, so it is even more imperative to win the city of Bidis. What's more, after seeing this strange race, from the standpoint of human beings, life like the underground race that already has its own civilization needs to be erased. Only when there are fewer such beings, will there be more room for human existence.
Cruel age, natural selection.
Eventually the caravan stopped in a loading yard, one of several squares in the city of Bedis, where warehouses were set up to store supplies. Zero and the others unloaded the goods, and those little underground people transported the goods into the warehouse. At the entrance of the warehouse, there are a few dwarves keeping records of entering the warehouse, which shows that the underground people have their own perfect system.
After putting all the goods into the warehouse, the dwarf supervisor handed something similar to a list of goods to old Rob. After old Rob signed it, the dwarf uttered a burst of quick and urgent syllables, and finally uttered a word in the human language: "Welcome."
After taking back the list, the dwarf called the snake girl who had led the caravan. After another series of strange syllables, the snake girl nodded and gestured to the caravan to follow. So old Rob asked people to leave all kinds of alien beasts behind, and the underground tribesmen would take care of them temporarily. As for the caravan people, they followed the snake girl to the temporary resting place prepared for them in Bides City.
It is also an elliptical building, built on the side of the mountain wall, extending towards the direction when everyone came. From a distance, it looks like a huge rock that will roll down at any time.
After leading everyone to the rest room, the Snake Girl said to old Rob in blunt human language: "Night, the Well of the Abyss."
Two simple words, but old Rob knew what they meant. He bowed to Snake, and Snake nodded, then turned and swam away. Zero came to Old Rob and said, "What did she say?"
"It's nothing, according to the practice of previous transactions, after we hand over the goods to them, we will rest and eat here, and at night they will take us to the oil well below the city of Bedes. They will give us a corresponding amount of black gold according to the value of the goods, After we receive the goods, we will rest here for one night, and we will be able to return to Pavalich tomorrow morning." Old Rob said in a low voice: "My lord, although I don't know what you are going to follow to Bides City. But I I have to remind you that you'd better stay in the rest area they arrange at night. These things are not friendly, they just ask us, but if you leave the rest area, you will run into their guards elsewhere, I'm afraid. .. "
Old Rob looked at the people in the caravan again, and said with a bitter face, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have pity on us. We still want to go back to Pavalich."
Zero promised: "Don't worry, we won't cause you trouble. Just now, the well of the abyss that the snake girl mentioned is the black gold mine?"
As soon as a dozen people in command of the caravan walked into the cobblestone house, old Rob said, "The Well of the Abyss is what they call it. You will know the place when you go there. Because the mine is at the bottom of the city of Bedes, where It has gone deep into the ground, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the Well of the Abyss.”
"I see."
While talking, Zero also stepped into the cobblestone house. The stone house has several hundred square meters, but the space is quite spacious, and the dozens of people in the caravan don't look cramped. The stone house is tens of meters high, and the roof is embedded with luminous mica. These scattered mica spars emit soft light, making the roof look like a sea of stars. The brilliance of the mica is reflected, making the stone house bright.
It can be seen clearly without any additional lighting. What's rare is that the light of mica is not strong, even if you sleep under it, you won't feel glaring. The stone house has been covered with soft animal furs. It seems that the underground tribesmen still take good care of Pavalich's people, at least so that the caravan people will not directly sleep on the cold stone slabs. Looking around the stone house, there are some simple paintings.
On the wall facing the gate, there is a tall throne painted on which sits a creature exactly like the statue in the center of the dungeon. And under the throne, there are densely packed eggs. Oval-shaped eggs are all over the other walls. Judging from the height ratio between the egg shells and the creatures on the throne, these strange eggs are several meters high. If the painting is in a one-to-one ratio if.
Obviously, the creature on the throne, that is, the statue in the center of the city, should be some kind of idol worshiped by the underground race. I don't know if it's their king or an imaginary god
"Naga." Looking at the murals, old Rob said.
"What?"
"I mean, the creature on the throne is called Naga, and it is the spiritual king of Bedes City." Old Rob said: "There is no king in Bedes City, they only have a role like a priest. And they After so many years of dealing with each other, I know something more or less. It seems that for these monsters, they believe that they come from the abyss, and Naga is the king of the abyss. They are all born from the eggs of Naga. Jia's descendants. But as far as I know, their descendants are completely hatched by laying eggs by themselves, and they are really a group of inexplicable monsters."
Zero also finds it inconceivable that such a high-level life form actually adopts the relatively low-level reproductive form of egg laying. He originally thought that, judging from the humanoid form of the underground race, these beings should adopt the same viviparous method as humans.
At this time, the short and deep cry of the underground clansmen sounded outside. But I saw a dwarf instructing two scorpion men to bring up a stone pot. The stone pot was full of green meat, and the scorpion man put the stone pot at the entrance, and before he got closer, he smelled a sour smell.
Old Rob's face became very ugly, and he muttered: "Here again, every time I come here, I treat us with this terrible thing. How many times have I told them that we don't eat this kind of thing, it's really stubborn .”
Saying so, old Rob still walked over to negotiate with the dwarf. Zero took the time to glance at the pot, and some fat bug corpses appeared on the green thing from time to time. Although Zero also ate worms, it was out of helplessness, but in Bides City, such things are not only food for the underground people, but also a delicacy for entertaining guests.
Helplessly, the two races not only have different values, but also have very different definitions of deliciousness.
After finally getting the underground clansmen to carry away the cauldron containing the terrible **, old Rob walked back and said, "Take out the dry food you brought, and give me enough to eat, so as not to be late." Give me the strength to carry the black gold."
While talking, old Rob took out dried meat and wine from the backpack he was carrying, and said to Ling: "My lord, come and eat some too."
After seeing that terrible pot of juice, the things in old Rob's hands can already be called delicious. Zero was not polite, so he sat in a corner with the old man and chatted while eating. When the caravan was resting and eating, there was a small vibration at the entrance of the tree hole where Ling and the others came in.
The vibration came from the mountain wall on the left side of the passage, and circles of khaki-yellow halos continuously appeared on the mountain wall as firm as fine steel. On the mountain wall affected by the halo, the hard stones turned from hard to soft, and then turned into sand one after another, and finally poured down to the ground. Then a round hole appeared in the mountain wall, the hole was dark, and after a while, two figures came out of it, it was Alice and Jin.
After falling to the ground, Alice flicked off the sand on her body and said, "I didn't realize that you still have the potential to be a pangolin."
"Stop talking nonsense, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have sneaked in like this." While speaking, Jin manipulated the power of the earth element to fill back the round hole the two walked through.
So when the two left, there was no gravel on the ground, and the mountain wall returned to its original appearance, but two outsiders sneaked into the city of Bidis.
