The long winter is coming to an end, and the western tundra will usher in one of the few warm seasons of the year. All kinds of hibernating mutant beasts will wake up from their slumber, making the entire tundra full of vitality. At the same time, it also means the hunting season of the year is over. In the new era, hunting is no longer a behavior exclusive to humans. It is true that humans are still hunting so far, hunting mutant beasts, alien races and even compatriots. But other creatures are also hunting them, and the top of the biological chain is no longer human beings, but all kinds of tyrannical life forms.
For example, the abyss mutant beast.
They are usually huge in size, capable of commanding enormous bio-energy beyond that of regular mutants. Usually this kind of abyss-level monsters are intelligent. They may be mutants of a certain kind of beast, but they will definitely not have their own race. Every abyssal beast is unique, even if there are some types among them that can reproduce.
However, the low reproductive capacity of Abyss beasts makes the chance of stillbirth extremely high, which makes them more often alone. Perhaps it is the interference of the planet's will that makes everything balance. Otherwise, if the abyssal beasts were given the ability to reproduce in large numbers, the planet would have been occupied by them long ago.
In many cases, the abyssal beasts are almost in a dormant state. Their bodies are too large, and if they continue to move, they will consume a lot of energy and physical strength, which requires the same amount of food to recover. However, for the current planet, food is too poor, so they have to reduce the frequency of activities to maintain energy consumption.
So in a year, the abyssal beasts will probably eat once or twice. This is also the time when they appear, and every time the abyss beast appears, it means that a large number of creatures will be reduced to food.
Abyssal beasts are not picky eaters in terms of food, no matter whether they are mutant beasts, alien races or humans, they can eat them all. From this point of view, they are fair.
Now, the climate in the western tundra is gradually warming up. The long-standing solid ice is slowly melting, and the snow line is also receding day by day. A large number of mutant beasts wake up from hibernation, and they are hungry. But they were not the only ones who were also hungry. Malrog was so hungry that his weight was even 10% lower than before hibernation.
Due to the fact that a capable person fought on its territory not long ago, Bingyi woke up earlier than expected, and even though he slept back in the cage, the abyssal beast still felt irritable. Abyssal beasts are used to delineating their territories around their lairs. Because of their huge size, their territories are usually measured in tens of thousands of miles.
When the warm spring in the tundra came late, Bingyi woke up completely and started the busiest hunting behavior of the year. When Malrog began to hunt, it was a disaster for the beasts around the mountains of Tulash.
On a snowfield at the southern foot of the mountain range, a group of snow beasts are running desperately. There are huge shadows passing by in the sky from time to time, and the breath that makes them fear will descend from the sky, prompting these fat guys to run faster. Not long after, a group of mountain wolves came from the forest in the east. They slammed into the snow herd in groups, but they didn't attack the fattest food in the tundra as usual, but fought with the snow Together with the beasts, they ran blindly on the snowy field.
The huge shadow on the ground is like a wandering great white shark, constantly circling around the snow field, releasing the aura that makes the mutant beasts fearful, driving groups of beasts out of their lairs, and then gathering in the On the snow field.
Of course the only one who can do this is Malrog. Ice Wing's body like a sea snake flapped three pairs of bat wings, allowing it to hover freely in the sky. The two rows of snake pupils on its big head look towards the ground, but the same number of images are formed in the brain as the number of snake pupils. These pictures are all individual, unconnected with each other, but combined to form a broad perspective, this is the ability of Ice Wing to observe the ground situation.
Seeing that the food had gathered, Malrog drew his bat wings and stuck them to his sides. It swooped down from a high altitude, like a silver streamer. It came to the ground in an instant, the bat wings spread out, and the updraft of the air lifted its huge body, making the ice wings dive into level flight. It opened its mouth wide, like a huge shovel plowing across the snow field!
When the ice wings flew into the sky again, there would be a deep groove on the snow field, and at the same time, hundreds of mutant beasts were eaten by Malrog.
Hunting like this would last until evening. When Ice Wing filled his stomach and flapped his wings leisurely back to the lair of Storm Fortress, the mutant beasts in the vicinity had basically been eaten up. Malrog has been awake for three days, and the food here is almost gone. It decided to change its hunting ground tomorrow, and eat for a few more days, so that Malrog could rest temporarily and think about what other interesting things he could do.
After a short flight, Ice Wing could already see the fortress under the light of dusk. It is very satisfied with this fortress occupied by the Gignians. The appearance of the fortress looks so majestic, and it is very suitable to be used as its own castle. It would be even better if there are some guards. Bingyi was thinking wildly, suddenly, it smelled a faint smell.
It's the smell of strangers!
The two rows of snake pupils on Ice Wing's head lit up at the same time, and after Malrog spit out a small ball of ice breath from his mouth, he accelerated towards the fortress.
When he came to the sky above the fortress, Malrog saw a few people sitting or standing on the square of the fortress, who looked like travelers passing by. It's a pity that Ice Wing is not hospitable, so it doesn't mind turning these guys who dared to come to its lair into desserts after dinner. Just as it was about to swoop down and kill these people with an even force, one of them suddenly looked up at it.
The golden flame in the man's right eye seemed to have burned it, and Bing Yi suddenly became very angry, because it remembered that this man was among those guys who disturbed his sleep not long ago. So Malrog let out a roar in the sky, and the others noticed the existence of the ice wing and looked at it.
The ice wings swooped down, and the snake pupils flashed. A clump of icicles suddenly appeared at the edge of the square, and the icicles spread towards that person as if they were spiritual. Just when it was about to hit, a burly figure appeared in front of the ice thorn, and a red tide surged in his hand and hit the ice thorn. Immediately there were overlapping explosions, and the one-meter-high ice spikes turned into ice shards all over the sky.
Malrog looked carefully, the appearance of the murloc let him know that he was a Gignian, and the Storm Fortress was snatched from these aliens. Ice Wing would not be afraid of a Gignian, its snake pupils flickered, and the ice mist surged over the crowd immediately, following the ice cones that required two people to hug each other, they kept falling down. In its imagination, these people must be dodging the ice cones in a hurry, so they will ignore the ice guns that suddenly emerge from the ground. These ice spears will pierce their corpses, and the ice breath from the spears will turn these bold fellows into statues.
Unfortunately, the reactions of these people were beyond Bing Yi's expectations. Not only did the Gignian easily swing a red battle ax to sweep away the ice cones, but even the others were more than enough to deal with it. Especially the human with the golden right eye, I didn't see him make any movements, but the ice cones exploded for no reason when they hit his head. In Malrog's rage, the snake's eyes flashed again, causing the ice elements gathered at the feet of these people to quickly arrange according to its will, and formed ice spears that suddenly pierced from the ground one by one!
Zero retreated, let an ice spear pierced from under his feet fall into the air, and then casually reached out and knocked on the ice spear, the ice spear that stood above the fine steel made a dense cracking sound, and then exploded into a piece of ice on the ground. . Compared with other people, Zero's movements are much calmer. He always seems to be able to know where the ice spear is coming from and avoid it in advance, and then knock or kick lightly, turning the masterpiece of Ice Wing into a ground of ice.
And from the beginning to the end, he still maintains an energy level of about seven levels, and according to Bing Yi's perception, he seems to be the weakest among these people. Therefore, most of Malrog's attacks fell on other people, and Zero was much more relaxed.
After smashing the wave of Ice Wing's attack, and before Malrog was about to launch the third wave of offensive, Zero activated the heart net. Suddenly there were strange fluctuations passing through the air, and then his voice sounded directly in Bingyi's brain: "Stop! We didn't come to fight with you."
The sudden sound shocked Malrog, and the body of the sea snake twisted uncomfortably in mid-air, and then Bing Yi realized that the human with golden eyes was communicating with him with a wonderful ability. As far as Malrog knew, this ability was only possessed by the kings of the Gognians who lived deep in the tundra to the west of Mount Tulash.
"Heart net? Why do you also use the mind net? You are just a mere human!" Malrog roared in Zero's mind net.
Its sound was huge, almost like a torrent. But Zero is an unbreakable reef, and it remains the same amid Malrog's tsunami-like sound waves.
"Because a lot of things happened while you were sleeping." While answering, Zero opened his mind, presenting what happened between him and Hamemis in Malrog's mind in the form of video.
In the eyes of others, all movements of Bingyi stopped. It quietly suspended in the air, and after a while, it even descended to the square. When this big guy with a length of hundreds of meters was entrenched in the square, the square became crowded. All but Zero had to back off.
The transmission of information in the mind is very fast. In less than a minute, Malrog already knew the whole story. Only then did Zero say: "Dear Bingyi, the pattern of this tundra will undergo tremendous changes. Here, I would like to subscribe to an agreement with you."
"What agreement?" Bingyi asked in the heart network.
"We want to rebuild Storm Keep, but you can still stay here. And every year when you wake up, we will provide you with a lot of food to save you from running around. But in return, when foreign enemies attack, you Need to give the necessary support!" Zero calmly said.
After a long period of silence, Malrog's resonant voice sounded again: "Human, why do you negotiate terms with me? Don't think that you have the right to have peace and harmony if Hamemis gave you his kingdom as a gift. I am qualified to conclude an agreement. I only recognize the strong, the strong who are equal to me! And you, the weak reptile, if I want, I can eat you now!"
"Weak?" Ling smiled: "Bingyi, has your perception become dull due to too long a sleep? Forget it, since you said so, then I will show you enough qualifications to be equal to you alright."
While speaking, the energy level on Zero's body began to rise, reaching the eighth level in a blink of an eye.
Bing Yi was a little surprised, and said: "So you hid your strength, but it's not enough..."
Before it could speak, it discovered that Zero's energy had no intention of stopping, but continued to climb. As the strength climbed, the surface of Zero's body began to emit a layer of hazy energy brilliance. The increase in strength began to affect the fortress. First, the ground shook slightly, then there was a buzzing sound in the air, and finally some gravel on the ground began to float up, floating between Zero and Malrog.
If the power of the seventh level is a meandering river, then the eighth level has already formed a wide lake. But now, Zero has raised his energy to the ninth level, and the lake has turned into a boundless ocean. This is a qualitative improvement. After the eighth level, each level of improvement will bring about an order of magnitude change. So before the eighth level, the gap between the levels can be made up through skills and tricks. But after the eighth level, the distance between each level is almost like a gap. It is difficult to use other factors to erase the gap between the real power.
Until now, when Zero released the power of the ninth level, Feng and the others were really shocked. Zero is now like a fully operating nuclear reactor, filled with explosive energy every minute and every second! The ninth level is already like this, and they can't imagine what kind of realm it will be after the tenth and eleventh level.
"This is my power, about 80% of the total power." Zero said lightly.
Malrog snorted, and roared, "So what if you use 100% of your strength, even so, you still can't reach the level of being equal to me!"
"Maybe, so what if you add the domain?"
"Field!" Malrog had to re-evaluate the zero level when he heard this word. With the wisdom of the Abyss Beast, Bingyi knows very well that having a life in the domain will bring a qualitative leap to its own power.
"If this is not enough, then I might as well tell you. From the eighth level to the ninth level, it took me less than two years. I have huge potential, and I don't even know where the limit is. But I can What is certain is that I can at least reach the level of the twelfth level. Dear Bingyi, according to our calculation standard, your strength is about tenth level. But you should also understand that even in your lifetime, you will not be able to reach the level of the twelfth level .You Abyss Beasts have great power from the moment you appeared, but your power will not weaken or increase. But I am different... "In Zero's right eye, a golden flame surged He said: "Time is on my side!"
"Let me ask you one last question, do you want to have an ally with unlimited potential now, or do you want to erect an enemy that you cannot defeat in the future?"
"Now, choose!"
