A gun appeared in Zero's hand, and he nailed it into the gap between the carapace of the Ice Lurker's jaw with his backhand. The lurker was stabbed, but died immediately. It swung its legs desperately, trying to scratch the body of the man in front of it. But Zero grabbed one of the lurker's legs with his other hand and swung it to the ground. The violent collision made the lurker a little dizzy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Yi kicked the knife handle on the lurker's body, and immediately pushed the knife along the carapace gap. As a large amount of worm blood bubbled out of the wound, the lurker's feet and limbs continued to move until they slowly stopped, thus declaring death.
Looking at the insect corpses on the ground, Merlin said calmly, "I don't see it, your fighting skills are not much worse."
"Thanks for the compliment... Be careful!"
They were passing through a swamp when suddenly a column of mud erupted from the swamp behind Merlin. In the mud column, a three-meter tall humanoid monster rushed towards Merlin. Merlin didn't turn his head back, just sliced off with his backhand. But I saw a red light as thin as thin silk passing by the monster. The monster's movements froze immediately, and then split obliquely from the shoulder to the lower abdomen, turning into two huge corpses and falling back into the swamp.
He casually beheaded a mud guard, but Merlin continued to drag his ax forward as if nothing had happened.
Zero picked up the hair on the lurker, looked up at the oasis wrapped in mist, and sighed in his heart. Since they entered the Oasis of Silence, they have killed many monsters like lurkers and mud guards. This oasis is probably the most dangerous natural area Zero has ever seen. Crisis comes from all directions, it can be under the coconut palm, it can come from the mud, and it is more likely to emerge from the ground under your feet.
These dangerous mutant beasts are almost everywhere, and the two of them have left as many as a hundred such corpses along the way. Like the gun in Zero's hand, which was materialized from energy, it has been chopped down several times, and it was repaired every time through energy replenishment.
The Continent of Silence is worthy of the name of silence, this oasis is as quiet as a dead zone. Whether it's Lurkers or Mudguards, the monsters here seem to be good at hiding. Until they attack, there will be a reaction similar to energy and breath. In this way, Zero's pistol is basically useless. When danger broke out around him, cold weapons such as pistols and daggers played a greater role.
The Silent Continent is a figure 8 terrain, which is composed of swamps, wetlands and coconut groves. The air is very humid and stuffy, and it also contains a small amount of toxins. Once the amount of exercise is too large and a large amount of toxic air is inhaled, the whole body will be paralyzed and unable to move. After entering the Continent of Silence, Merlin would occasionally tear off a few leaves from some ferns and put them in his mouth.
When these leaves meet with saliva, some strange substances can be secreted. These substances can increase the oxygen intake of the lungs, and can also neutralize the toxins in the air, so that he and Zero will not be poisoned during strenuous exercise. The Grand Duke told Zero that the Tutu tribe relied on these leaves to be able to fly around in the Silent Continent without worrying about being poisoned and becoming rations for some monsters.
These seemingly inconspicuous leaves are one of the few secrets of Silent Continent.
Zero was very curious about why Merlin knew these secrets, but the Red Grand Duke didn't say anything, and he didn't bother to ask. He only knew that the two of them came here like this, it seemed too arrogant, as if they were telling this oasis that they were coming.
Regarding this question, Merlin answered this way: "If you don't do this, you won't be able to find that person."
Since the Red Grand Duke thinks so, Zero will no longer ask. Now that you decide to cooperate, sometimes, you have to trust your partner. Just like zero at this moment, after provoking the *, a beam of energy is input into the *. Through the conversion of matter, the hole in the body was repaired. Zero couldn't help sighing, he had already selected the most vulnerable part of the lurker's body, but still caused several holes in the body.
You must know that when he first entered the Continent of Silence, when Zero killed the first lurker, he broke a gun directly. The carapace of these monsters is very hard, only the gap between the jaws is softer. After hunting down a few lurkers, Zero almost became an expert in the study of this monster. In fact, under the structural detection of the golden right eye, basically no creature can hide from the detection of zero.
The two walked around the swamp and walked into a coconut grove. Stepping on the wet ground, you can feel the heat rising from the ground. This is because there is a large-scale hot spring area under the continent of Silence. Originally, the hot spring area would only exist in the area near the volcano, but there is no such thing as a volcano in the Silent Continent.
However, the collision and joint between the plates in the new era has brought about great changes in the landform. Or it is not surprising that there is a volcanic area under the Continent of Silence. Geologists may be interested in the strange environment of the oasis, but Zero is not an expert in this field, and even less interested in research. He only knows that this place is not suitable for human habitation, and the Silent Continent is just a paradise for mutant beasts and the Tutu tribe.
A slight vibration suddenly sounded in the air, and Zero quickly locked the direction. When I looked, I saw a black shadow flying across the coconut trees, and it came to the bottom of Zero's head in a blink of an eye. The sound of breaking through the air was loud above the head, and a ray of cold light pressed straight down, hitting the center of Ling's eyebrows.
Ling Leng snorted, raised his head, and collided with Han Guang. The huge force from the chest is transmitted to Zero's body through the arms, and then guided to the ground by his feet. The originally weak wet ground sank immediately, and the entire sole of his foot sank into the ground. Only at this moment did he see clearly the strange life that was struck from a high altitude.
Although it is a humanoid creature, it cannot be seen what kind of life it evolved from. A strange life that can only be attributed to aliens, with an oval-shaped head, covered with a layer of biological carapace from the forehead to the back. It has a thin body, long hands and long feet, and the chest and shoulders are covered with a layer of biological armor-like biological tissue, which seems to play a protective role.
There are short and sharp thorns on its long arms, and the excessively large palm has a membrane between the fingers that looks like the toes of a frog. This alien holds a short blade in both hands, which should be self-made from the appearance. But it is sharp enough, which is not difficult to see from the cold luster flowing on the blade surface. If it hadn't been for the zero-use * to block the short blade, I'm afraid it would have been cut in two by the alien from head to toe.
Missing a hit, the alien body, whose body was still in the air, suddenly ejected scorching air from both sides of its abdomen. This makes it slide back in the air, and when it falls to the ground, it moves quickly again, and from time to time uses the jet stream to change the trajectory of motion, making it difficult to lock its position.
A strange symbol rose from Zero's right eye, and the alien was decomposed into countless pictures in his eyes. These pictures mark the trajectory of the alien body's movement. After the activated ability "Prophet" performs a series of calculations, it deduces the most likely cut-in position of the alien body.
With the continuous use of the ability of "prophet", Zero already knew that it was still in its infancy. With the advancement of zero ability, the prophet also has two stages of advancement: limit calculation and future perspective. The extreme calculation will maximize the derivation ability of the prophet, and make the calculation probability reach 100% accuracy; while the future perspective can use the existing data and under a series of unexplainable analysis and calculations, to obtain the next step of the opponent. action data. That includes various specific data such as the ability the opponent will use, the angle of attack, and the power output. And only at this time, the ability of the prophet can truly live up to its name.
The same is true for structure detection. In addition to the detection of the body structure of organisms at this stage, there will be two stages of gene deconstruction and energy analysis. The former can collect the genetic information of organisms, while the latter knows the composition of energy like the back of the palm of their hand, both of which belong to the advanced ability of structure detection.
Now, under the use of the prophet, the possible cutting direction of the alien body is obtained. Although he only had an 80% generalization, Zero still followed the guidance of the prophet, stepped back, and pointed towards the empty space. And the next moment, the figure of the alien body filled the blank space, which made Zero kick solid.
An unbelievable gaze shot out from the flat pupils on the alien's head, but the body was involuntarily kicked away by Zero One. Zero used the vibration technique on this leg, and after the power penetrated through the body, it continuously vibrated the bones, internal organs and even nerves of the alien. Let it go limp after hitting a coconut tree, making it impossible to climb for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zero's structure detection fell on it, so the body structure of this alien is no longer a secret in Zero Eye.
This alien life form is nearly three meters tall. Its brain is very developed, especially the cerebellum, which is almost twice as large as that of humans, which shows that it has quite advanced intelligence. The musculature of the alien body is very peculiar, its muscles are not very developed, and it can even be described as loose straddle. Originally, this kind of tissue was unable to burst out huge strength, but unlike the primary muscle bundles of ordinary creatures composed of hundreds of muscle fibers, the muscle bundles of the alien body were actually composed of hundreds of muscle fibers. And between the primary muscle bundles, there are connection points that are very rare in ordinary creatures. The connection points are also force-generating nodes, which allow the alien to use huge explosive power when necessary.
The blood temperature of the alien body is extremely high, reaching a range of about one hundred degrees Celsius. The high-temperature blood causes the xenomorph to continuously produce scorching gas in the body, and these gases are stored in the sac-shaped organs on both sides of the abdominal cavity. On the surface skin of the sac-shaped organ, there are fumaroles. When the alien body needs it, the contraction of the sac-shaped organ can instantly eject airflow to change its own trajectory.
In addition, the skeleton of the alien is also very strange. They are hollow, tubular structures that are very strong despite being slender. The surface of the bones is covered with fine lines, and these tiny bone gaps are connected by a thin meat membrane. Such a bone structure greatly reduces the weight of the alien body, allowing it to maximize its speed. The gaps in the bones greatly enhance the shock resistance of the alien body, making its bones less likely to be broken and shattered.
Overall, the body of this xenomorph has evolved to a very advanced form. And after completing the entire structure detection, Zero also came to another conclusion. That is, every time such a variant body is killed, it can bring him ten to fifteen evolution points, which is already equivalent to the value that a human being with seventh-level abilities should have.
"Is this the Tutu people?" Zero asked.
Merlin nodded, before he could speak. There was a sound of breaking through the coconut grove, and there were figures surrounded from all sides of the coconut grove. Hundreds of Tutu tribesmen appeared on the tree and behind the tree, staring at the two outsiders, Zero and the Red Grand Duke, with their flat pupils emitting dim light. The Tutu people all held homemade weapons, but whether it was a short-bladed long knife or a tomahawk or spear, their common feature was that they were extremely sharp.
Some weapons have one or two energy brilliance flowing from time to time, obviously there are some strange effects.
"The Tutu people have always acted in packs, just like a pack of wolves. Whether the opponent is one or a group, they have always been like this." Merlin held the battle ax horizontally, and leaned back against Zero to confirm that there was no possibility of being attacked.
Zero frowned and looked at the pistol in his hand. The hand-to-hand combat just now made the pistol collapse. With such a weapon, he really doesn't know how many rounds he can block the attacks of the Tu Tu people
When hundreds of aliens continuously shrink the encirclement, enormous pressure arises spontaneously. Apparently, every member of the Tutu tribe possesses strength beyond that of ordinary seventh-order ability users. Even purely in terms of energy levels, they are already very close to the eighth level, the only difference is an opportunity to break through. Facing hundreds of aliens who were extremely close to the eighth level, even Zero felt very difficult.
But at this time, Merlin whispered to Ling: "Don't do it."
Zero was a little stunned, he didn't have the habit of being caught without a fight. But at this time, Merlin made a very strange voice, which seemed to be the language of a certain foreign race, anyway, Ling couldn't understand it.
What Merlin used was the language of the Tutu tribe, which translates to: "I want to see your patriarch Tuxian, and I want to ask him, is this the way the Tutu tribe entertains their friends?"
The pace of the siege slowed down significantly, and the Tutu tribe looked at each other, obviously stunned by Merlin's words. At this time, a hoarse voice came from behind the alien: "Merlin, you old bastard, I never considered you my friend. But I owe him a favor, so everyone back away."
The former sentence was for Merlin, but the latter sentence was for other clansmen. When the aliens dispersed, Zero saw a particularly tall Tutu tribe walking slowly. It is nearly four meters tall, and its appearance is only slightly different from other aliens. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to distinguish it from others. Also not wearing any clothes, only a gray cloak was draped over his body. There is a row of gorgeous feathers around the neck guard of the cloak, and I don't know what kind of bird it was taken from. From the perspective of human judgment, this kind of decoration seems weird and otherworldly, but in the Tutu tribe, it is the symbol of the patriarch.
Merlin stuck the tomahawk into the wet ground, then strode forward, and punched the opponent's chest hard, saying loudly: "How long has it been since you disappeared, you old bastard!"
