In an instant, a ball of dazzling white light exploded in the wilderness outside the camp, and dozens of white electric fires swept freely, and immediately burned into flames! The dull impact sound was long overdue, and when Alice, Hei Xiao and others raised their tents and came out, the energy frenziedly clashed and collided, and the resulting shock wave swept across the camp. With their ability, they couldn't help being rushed back again and again, while the sharp-blade hunters near the camp were knocked into the air.
Then there was a series of thunder-like sounds, and where Zero and Albert collided, thunder, light, and fire continued to be aroused. The violent jet of energy splashed out, blasting the nearby rocks and bushes to explode and burn!
When the light gradually faded, the figures of Zero and Albert were also seen by others. The ground where the two of them were was scorched black, as if it had endured the ravages of a thunderstorm. The ground even crystallized, and the destructive energy remaining on the surface would exist for hundreds of years.
Albert's broadsword was stuck in Zero's arm, and the blade penetrated three points into the arm, almost cutting off Zero's slender arm. Zero's right hand rested on Albert's left shoulder, and the other arm of the big man supported Zero's fist, otherwise Zero's fist should have landed on the man's heart. A wound the size of a bowl appeared on Albert's left shoulder. It was like an ordinary person being hit by a sniper rifle at close range.
In fact, this wound was created by Zero Phantom Piercing. If it wasn't for the deflection of the punch, what Albert lost now would be his heart!
The eyes of the two almost burst into flames, and they retreated at the same time, then raised their feet and kicked each other.
Zero flew away, spraying blood from his mouth and nose. Albert's condition was even worse, his entire lower abdomen sank, and then there was a shock in his abdomen, and Albert sprayed a mist of blood from his nostrils and mouth. He looked at Ling with a strange expression, then turned around and left, sprinting with all his strength, and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared into the vast night. Just going all the way, but a series of bright red blood drops.
Zero's kick carried the power of the reloaded warhead, and Albert seemed to be hit by a heavy artillery at close range. At the same time, the effect of the second implosion was triggered, and the repeated injuries were too much for Albert's physical strength, so he turned around and fled without any love for fighting.
Fell to the camp, Zero simply lay there without moving, only panting heavily. The void energy stones on his body closed one by one, and Zero looked a little tired. Jin was the closest to him, and quickly stepped forward to support him and asked, "How is it?"
"I can't die." Zero spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, and laughed: "It's just this injury, it won't recover in three or two days."
He shook his left arm, Albert's knife cut into his bone marrow before, if it wasn't for the semi-metallic bone that stuck the blade. That Zero's hand will be cut off, and then the blade will slash into his chest, and that is also the slashing route Albert planned. It's a pity that he didn't expect Zero to burst out with eleventh-order power suddenly, and his physical strength was far higher than he imagined, so he didn't succeed.
Now there is a deep and visible bone wound on Zero's arm. As he said, this arm will be useless in two or three days. Albert wouldn't feel better either. Such an injury made him unable to fight with all his strength for a short period of time. Naturally, he could no longer hang behind Ling Ling's ass like before. This is also Zero's purpose, to severely injure this man, so that he cannot follow him lingeringly.
The next morning, Hei Xiao asked them to rest temporarily in the camp. He brought the news of Albert's appearance to the nearest clan, and then they conveyed it to other people who were hunting Albert. Hei Xiao moved quickly, and turned back after more than an hour. Then the team broke out and set off. Zero became a half-wounded man, riding the gale with Leah, led by Hei Xiao, and continued to march into the depths of the black earth.
Since the level 4 area is already the territory of the top ten clans, after going deep into this land, the team can occasionally see a small team of a certain clan passing nearby. These teams will protect Zero and others for a short distance along the way, and then press in the direction of the thorn forest, obviously searching for Albert. Here, Zero and the others no longer have to worry about being attacked by Albert.
The soldiers of the various clans are their eyes and ears, and the falcons of the Asaks will constantly transmit information to the hands of the black owls. If Albert is close, Hei Xiao will know. After all, this is their base camp. If Albert enters and exits at will like a level 3 area, wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word.
They didn't move fast that day. Firstly, there were wounded in the team, and secondly, Albert's whereabouts had been locked, so there was no need to advance at full speed to distance himself from this strong man. During the period, Hei Xiao took them to rest in a clan's village, allowing the zero-class people who came from afar to appreciate the unique style of the alien race in this land.
At sunset, they rushed to the next village without having to camp in the wild as before. This Jiba village is a vassal of the Storm Clan. The Storm Clan is rich in archers. Their homemade special hunting bows can shoot arrows five hundred meters away without diminishing their power. In the village of the Jiba tribe, there is a squad of storm shooters stationed, and the captain is an eighth-rank warrior.
He demonstrated the superb archery skills of the Storm Clan to Zero and others. The captain shot a multi-eyed lizard that had just emerged from an underground cave to the head with an arrow from a distance of more than 700 meters.
After eating the Jiba's homemade grilled ribs, Hei Xiao invited Ling to his room. The houses of the Jiba people are all stone houses, which are built with black rocks and are full of primitive flavor. Inside, you can see that some materials are used to make white paint, and some weird totems are left on the black walls as decorations. There is a brazier in the middle of each stone house, and the fire inside will burn all night, and the burning smoke will be exhausted through the skylight above, so as to maintain a constant temperature in the room.
A piece of animal skin is draped on the ground, which is the bed of the Jiba people. There are three animal skins in Hei Xiao's room, which are the treatment only VIPs can enjoy. He and Ling sat on the same animal skin, and the elder of the Shadow Clan looked at Ling and said, "Is your injury serious?"
Zero didn't think that he was just here to care about his injuries, and he showed an unpredictable smile, and he said: "The life-threatening blow of a high-level powerhouse is so easy to bear."
He didn't directly state the severity of his injury, nor did he tell Hei Xiao how long it would take to heal the wound, but responded in a light-hearted manner. Hei Xiao frowned because of this, and said: "You may not trust me, but that's okay, just like I don't trust you completely. But at least for now, we should give each other some trust, after all, we are cooperating."
"Don't worry, this kind of injury won't affect my healing of your clansmen." Ling Yu replied.
Hei Xiao shook his head: "No, I am concerned about your injuries. What you did was not only because of my clansmen, but mainly because of the holy temple."
"How to say?"
"The thing you want to confirm is under the holy mountain. Before that, you need to pass through the gate of the palatine teeth. To open the gate, you need the vote of the elders of the holy temple. What is certain now is that me, Gao Ge, Ba Jin and The patriarchs of Stormwind and Blackhammer will vote for you. This way you have five votes, but it’s not enough. You have to get at least one vote to be eligible to open the gate.”
Ling Shenling said: "I thought the God of Darkness was the patent of your Shadow Clan, so why do you have to get the consent of the elders of the temple?"
"That is to prevent the abuse of the power of the God of Darkness, and it is also one of the conditions for these ten clans to agree to protect our Shadow Clan." Hei Xiao said solemnly.
"I thought you were standing at the top of all the clans in this land. It seems that you are not having a good time."
"This is impossible. Our clan's ability to reproduce is the lowest. So far, there is no fundamental way to improve our ability to reproduce. A group has few members. No matter how strong the individual is, there will always be This kind of inconvenience. We are like a kind of parasite, we need to rely on other clans to provide protection and help. At the same time, other clans also need to indirectly obtain the power of the God of Darkness through us, because only we know that place, and only We can go in."
Ling Sui understood that the Shadow Clan and other clans had a delicate state of mutual restraint and coexistence.
"Believe me, not all elders value courage like Gao Ge, and they are not as talkative as Ba Jin. Some guys are simply stubborn, and only strength can break the deadlock. If you can't show your strength, those chattering guys may even You can delay this matter for ten and a half months. I don't think you have the patience to wait that long, do you?" Hei Xiao finally told the real reason.
Zero nodded: "Don't worry, the injury will not be an obstacle for us."
"That's good. At this speed, we can reach the holy mountain in three days. I hope that by then, you will be able to recover your full strength."
Under the dark night, hundreds of kilometers away from the Jilu village, at the northern end of the border between the thorny forest and the black earth, there is a mountain range shaped like a sharp tooth. The mountains have natural dark red lines, and from a distance, it looks like the entire mountain is bleeding from top to bottom. This range of mountains is called the Bloody Collar, and between the Bloody Collars is a low-lying valley through which a stream winds its way.
On both sides of the stream are rocky beaches piled up with chaotic rocks. At this moment, a tall figure appeared on the rocky beach. Albert dragged the broad knife to the river, threw the knife aside, and buried his head in the stream. He drank the stream greedily and gulped, then picked up a mutated fish in the stream, and put it to his mouth to chew.
The fat mutant fish quickly turned into a fish bone and was thrown to the ground. Albert wanted to catch some more fish to eat, but the big fish in the stream swam away knowingly. The mutated creatures are very alert to danger, and the bloody smell of the same kind tells them that the killing intent is nearby, so why would they continue to wander around recklessly. Albert didn't care either, he picked up the stream water and washed his face. Even more, he jumped directly into the stream and let the stream wash over the wound on his shoulder. He didn't return to the rocky beach until the muscles around the wound turned pale.
There was a tingling sensation from the wound, which was a sign that the wound was beginning to heal. This is the result of Albert spending a whole day to clear away the energy remaining near the wound. But the distance is completely healed, and there is no time for three or four days. And even if healed, the combat power will be affected to a certain extent in a short period of time.
Albert didn't care about it, on the contrary he found it interesting. Just like now, some "rats" are wandering around. Albert has found them, but he is still sitting by the stream, soaking the broad knife in the water to wash off some blood on the knife.
