The low bushes made the sound of being squeezed, and at this moment in the afternoon, a strange beast came out. It has a liger-like head, and its furless body looks smooth, but there are dark red lines on its body. It looks like a scar, but it is actually a natural marking. Four elephant-like thick legs are stepping on the bushes, and the thick soles of the feet are like pile drivers. Once stepped on, deep footprints will be left.
The tail is flat and triangular, with some red bony spurs on the edge. If you take an X-ray of this tail, you will find that it is composed of countless pieces of tiny six-sided cartilage. When needed, it can tighten its prey like a snake, and the bony spurs hidden on the underside of the tail will emerge from the densely covered eyes around the edge, opening its fangs like a wild beast and piercing deeply into the prey's flesh. The body gives the second destruction.
This strange beast let out an irritable growl. It even raised its front hoof and then lowered it heavily, making a trampling movement, generating a circle of shock waves. It has a very apt name, Berserk. It's just that this berserk beast in front of us is slightly different from what people are familiar with. On its liger-like head, from the forehead to the tailbone at the tail, there is a row of red, like spars, of different lengths. prick. It looks like the bone spurs on the edge of the tail, but the texture is as clear as crystals, and more importantly, the breath of energy can be felt in these crystal spines.
Obviously, this berserk beast has obviously evolved.
While it was roaring, a big thing emerged from the bushes on the other side. It looks like a scorpion, but it has spider-like arthropods. The bristly jointed limbs propped up the monster's body, and it held up its tail pincers, sizing up the berserk beast with six small red compound eyes on its head.
This is a spider scorpion, as the name suggests, it is like a combination of a spider and a scorpion. But compared with ordinary spider scorpions, this one is obviously different from the same kind. Normally, the spider scorpion's shell is like a black steel sheet with a metallic luster, but this one's shell is like a wafer, translucent, and you can even vaguely see the internal organs under the protection of the shell are wriggling.
There are natural dark lines distributed on the surface of the crystal shell, which makes the spider scorpion look even more mysterious and strange.
Seeing this spider scorpion, the Berserk roared provocatively. Then he lowered his head, galloped towards the spider scorpion and launched a charge. The spider scorpion didn't avoid the fight either, its spider-like limbs touched the ground as if they were paddling water, and the monster with its limbs spread out as big as a tabletop faced the berserk beast.
In this way, the two mutant beasts fought desperately in the wilderness, and the berserk beast had the strength advantage. Every time its thick four hooves stomp the ground, it will generate a circle of shock waves. Smaller beasts are usually dizzy when they are affected by the shock wave. From time to time, the berserk raised the tail of the triangular monster behind it and slapped violently, and sometimes even a row of crystal thorns on its back would light up one by one, and then spit out thick blood flames with a bloody smell from its mouth.
Blood flame breathing, this is the ability of Berserk Beast that has not been recorded in any data.
As for the spider scorpion, it was also a formidable opponent. Its spider-like jointed limbs always easily support the body and move flexibly. The spider scorpion swims around the berserk beast, and when avoiding its attack, it deeply plunges its violent tail pincers into the berserk beast's body. Gradually, the Berserk lost to the spider scorpion's flexible fighting style, showing its defeat. When avoiding the opponent's blood flame again, the crystal shell on the spider scorpion lit up, and the dark pattern jumps were lit up from the beginning to the end, and finally the tail pincer lit up like a beam weapon, it struck out with lightning, One blow pierced the head of the violent beast, and released a laser-like light beam from the tip of the claws to split the violent beast's head in two.
The Berserker finally fell down, and the spider scorpion was obviously quite tired after the blow. It lowered its body and crawled onto its prey. When he was about to lie down on the corpse to enjoy the big meal, the compound eyes on his head looked vigilantly at a group of bushes ahead. Then the whole head exploded, a huge sniper bomb blasted its head, and plowed into the body a little, blasting the insect shell near the big head.
Immediately, the spider scorpion closed its legs, rolled over and died.
The bushes moved at this moment, pretending to be a person from inside. Wearing a tactical suit and a tactical kit on his body. Half of his face was blocked by the tactical shield, but he could still tell that it was a man. He lifted the tactical shield, revealing a pair of golden pupils. Then he raised his hand, clenched his fist and then released it, indicating that the road ahead was safe.
Not long after, the sound of a car engine sounded behind the man. Under the scorching sun, a convoy appeared behind the man and quickly passed him. He jumped into one of the off-road vehicles and sat down with his gun in his arms.
"You seem to enjoy it?" Sitting next to the man was a teenager. He has healthy brown skin, and what is even more peculiar is his eyes. Flat vertical pupils, like some kind of beast.
The man smiled: "It feels good to miss the days in the wilderness once in a while."
"You humans don't all say that Huaijiu is a sign of old age."
"Is that so?" The man chuckled, "That's right. To be honest, sometimes I think about my retirement in the future. Pick a house that doesn't need to be too spacious, but needs plenty of light to live in. Plant flowers every day, and then look at them." Watching the children play in the garden is also a kind of happiness.”
"Do you think this kind of life is possible?"
The man thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but everything I do now is to achieve such happiness."
"Including this time?"
"Yes."
The boy was silent for a moment, and then said: "Zero, I doubt your actions. To be honest, I can't believe you."
"I know, Girutan. But even if it's only once, please trust me like you trust Moni." Zero watched the car pass by the corpses of the two mutant beasts. They had left Dawn City for several days.
And the closer you get to the black land, you can see that the evolution of the mutant beast is greater than other places in the wilderness. In particular, the evolution of something similar to energy crystals shows that the life in this area is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
"What's the matter, Mo Ni... Mo Ni is special." The boy next to him said vigorously, waving his hands.
Zero smiled, and in the car in front, Mo Ni's long hair was tied up. His hair was flying against the scorching wind, which seemed to disturb the boy's heart.
"Let's go back to the question just now, Zero, I think we need to have a good talk. What is it about the Shadow Clan that deserves your attention?" Girutan shook his head and said, "With your current strength, I don't think you will care about it." their elixir or seed."
"No, it's not because of the pursuit of power, Girutan." Ling knocked on the car door with his fingers and said, "I have to make sure, I have to make sure that the thing in Shadow Clan's hands is not the damn dark core. Girutan, This is about the survival of all life on the surface of this planet, including you and me. Understand?"
"Dark Core? What's that?" Girutan asked.
"It's hard to say clearly. You can think of it as an engine, an engine that drives some kind of big guy. And judging from Moni's performance after using the holy medicine, I am very worried that what Shadow Clan has is the dark core. If That's it, I have to destroy it."
"That's the problem." Girutan stood up directly and said, "For the Shadow Clan, it is their sacred object. If you want to destroy it, it will lead to a war. The important thing is, including us Amandas Everyone inside, will fight to protect ShadowClan. This will lead to a complete war."
"If it turns out to be like this, then if I take you to the Black Land, it will be no different from being a guide for the Scarlet Knight!"
Zero nodded: "I know how you feel, Girutan. To be honest, I have no right to ask you anything. If possible, I also hope to communicate in a peaceful way. But damn it, we don't have much time. If that will trigger a war, as long as it is confirmed that it is the core of darkness, I will not hesitate to do so. Because it is better to break out of war with you than to return this thing to its original owner, which is terrible."
"So there is no difference between you and the blood knight?"
"Yes, they are here to conquer you and plunder resources. And I just want to prevent something terrible from happening, that's all."
This discussion ended with no results. Zero and Girutan are, after all, completely different races of life. What's more, the situation of the black land and the western tundra is different. The alien races there seem to have appeared earlier than in the western tundra. They did not differentiate into different countries like the western tundra, but were closely connected in the form of tribes.
Their entanglement is the biggest contradiction in Girutan's heart at the moment. And this kind of contradiction cannot be resolved with just a few words.
The journey continued, and finally arrived at Elk Town, which borders the black earth, after several days.
From a distance, I saw a barricade piled up with sandbags at the entrance of the town. This is a firepower point, as can be seen from the two anti-aircraft machine guns on the sandbags. There are two off-road vehicles next to them, and soldiers jumped off them and walked towards the direction of the convoy.
"Stop!" a white soldier yelled.
The convoy stopped about 100 meters away from the soldiers, and Ling jumped out of the car, signaling the others to stay in the car. Then call a few ordinary guards to protect Gu Jia with him. Gu Jia smiled all over his face, and said in the tone of a businessman: "Who is this officer?"
"I'm Sergeant Vader. This is the council's control area. You've heard of the Dark Council, right? If you know, then tell me why you're here," the soldier said.
Gu Jia nodded and said: "As you can see, Sergeant. I am an adventurous businessman, and I have brought some supplies that Elk Town needs at the moment from other places. Maybe I will stay in the town for a while. If I need to do anything If there are formalities, I am happy to follow the rules."
"In this case, I need to check some goods."
"no problem."
Sergeant Vader led a dozen soldiers and opened the compartment of the truck. The carriage was indeed full of supplies such as food and medicines as Gu Jia said. As for the secret compartment where the biological weapon is located, because of its concealed design, the soldiers of these councils did not check it out. After a while, Vader jumped out of the car and nodded, "Okay, then you still need to register."
Gu Jia nodded, watching when everything went well. When passing the escort vehicle in front of the convoy, Vader saw the accompanying women, his eyes lit up immediately. He pointed to Mo Ni and the girls in the car and asked, "Old man, are they also your guards?"
"Yes, sir."
"I don't think so. How can there be such a young female guard? Old man, shouldn't they be your toys?" Vader and several other soldiers laughed, put Gu Jia on the shoulder and said: "If it is In that case, I think you'd be happy to lend it to us. You know how hard it is to find a woman in this damned place."
