Chapter 522

A clean, steady palm was inserted into the frozen soil. With the movement of the palm of the hand, the ice soil was gradually stripped away, revealing some black carbon residue inside. I grabbed a handful of such carbon residue with my pocket hand and smelled it between my nose. I even stretched out my tongue to gently touch the carbon residue. As the slightly bitter taste melts on the tip of the tongue, zero already knows how many hours ago it was.

Next to zero, Merlin stood with an axe. The red Archduke's dignified eyes swept over the leeward mountain and asked in a deep voice, "have they ever rested here?"

"I can't be wrong. The coke was five hours ago. And I found something interesting over there." zero stood up, and near him were several snow drifts. One of the snowdrifts was littered with the fur and bones of some mutant animals, while others were stained with the blood of some creatures.

"If you'll excuse me, what do midra's insects feed on?" zero asked, picking up a piece of fur still stained with blood.

Merlin replied, "they can eat almost anything. But midra is very picky. He only sucks the blood of food. He is a blood sucking bug."

Zero's eyes fell on another snowdrift, where were the mummies of some mutant animals. The muscles of these corpses were all atrophied, and the skin and hair were gray. Obviously, Midla is not so simple as sucking blood. It will suck the essence of food life.

"Obviously, these kaizelas insects don't like cooked food, so these food are prepared for other companions." zero kicked the coke under the kick and the head of a violent bear nearby: "If you eat up the whole bear at one time, you are a high-ranking capable person if you don't have a lot of companions. Judging from the fact that this rest place doesn't appear to be messy, it should be the latter. Dear Archduke, I don't know what you associate with?"

Merlin thought a little, then sneered: "it should be those humans who hit our neitherace shield. At that time, I was really surprised to see that midra had a secret relationship with them."

"Then do you know who is behind these humans?"

"I don't know that. I only cooperated with them in order to kill you by their hand. Otherwise, I wouldn't go with those dirty guys."

Zero smiled and said, "let's go. Maybe we can surprise them at their next rest."

"Can you predict their route?"

"It's not difficult," zero said. "We've been chasing them for four or five days. It's not difficult to judge the moving distance and time required from the place where they rest every time. As long as I have these data, I can probably predict the place where they rest next. The problem is, who's faster."

"If it's speed, the bugs have an advantage over us," Merlin murmured.

Zero silent, with their feet, if they travel on the ground, they can push about 400 kilometers a day. But when they get to the mountains, it's good to push 100 kilometers a day because of the impact of the environment and climate. On the other hand, midra is faster than them because of flying insects.

"So we don't have much time, but the traces left by them tell me that the strength of red beetles is also limited. We have to rest after flying for four or five hours every time. If we want to catch up with them, I'm afraid we can advance 24 hours without interruption, so we can hope to get ahead of them."

"Just in that case, I have no problem, as for you!"

Zero said lightly, "don't worry about me. My endurance won't be poor to anyone."

"That's good. I hope you don't become my burden!" Merlin snorted coldly.

The two stopped communicating, and then went on a silent journey. When they were on their way, they didn't have any communication and communication. Usually zero opened the way in front, followed by Merlin. This time, it was no exception. Zero ran silently on the snow in the mountains like a ghost, leaving only a very faint shadow. The red Archduke was like a flame, even if the wind and snow on the mountain were heavy And can't blow it out.

As time goes by, zero sum Merlin is on his way, and midra and Betsy are on their way. If tulash mountain is a competition field, then the end point is the mountain exit in the north. Whoever gets there first will have the upper hand in the competition. The key is time. Whoever takes the shortest time will have a chance to win.

At sunset, the red beetles began to descend. Betsy, sitting on one of them, opened her eyes from her false sleep. Betsy had to admit that in the environment of tulash mountain, red beetles are really the best means of transportation. Their thick shells can ensure that they are not affected by high-altitude strong winds, and their strong wings are the guarantee of high-altitude flight.

But God opens one window and always closes the other.

Although red beetles have relatively rare flying ability in this era, they are only strong enough to support four to five hours of flight. When carrying passengers on their backs, this time will be reduced by about 20%. When flying in high-altitude strong winds, their speed is only a poor dozen kilometers per hour, and they can't fly at night because of their vision problems Therefore, this insect team can only advance about 150 kilometers every day.

At this rate, it will take them at least five days or so to reach the range of the tulash mountains.

After three days' rest, Betsy and Petunia have recovered a lot. Among them, the best condition is Petunia. The huge wound on the ventral side of her chest has basically healed, leaving only a light red scar. As for energy, it has returned to the 80% level in its heyday, which is enough to cope with any major war.

Betsy is not so lucky. His left arm is disabled, which is equivalent to losing about 20% of his combat power. Fortunately, this did not cause his ability level to regress, otherwise Betsy would be worse off than dead. However, the ash spreader has lost his previous composure. Bessie, who has only recovered 60% or 70% of his energy, can only use another natural disaster fire rain, plus one or two disasters, and his power will decline slightly, which makes Bessie feel very depressed.

In addition to Betsy and Petunia, there was a third passenger in the insect team. Betsy, the alien woman wrapped in the gray robe, had seen him. Before the zanbis mountains waited for Bain and others to meet, he and pedfeni fought against the woman's team and fought a big war. They were later found to be mixed with zero.

But what Betsy didn't expect was that the so-called important person in midra's mouth was this woman.

This made Betsy regret it. If she had known this, she should try her best to win it at the first meeting that day. Maybe she can put all the green into her bag without blood.

It's no use regretting now. Midra has taken the initiative, and Betsy and Petunia can only play the role of thugs now.

When all the flies had dropped, Betsy looked around. This is a corner of the tulash mountains, with stalagmites and a complex environment. However, these stalagmites are not natural, but the fragile part of the mountain rock is eroded by the cold wind, and the rest is the hardest part of the mountain rock. Becky flicked his fingers on a stalagmite, but the meaning of gold and stone came out faintly, which shows that the stalagmite is as strong as steel, otherwise it can't be preserved.

This stalagmite forest is 100 meters high, pointing obliquely to the sky. The short ones are also ten meters long, sharp at the top and thick at the bottom, like a row of tusks. The flying insects are careful when descending to avoid hitting these natural stone teeth. After coming down from the flying insects, the woman wrapped in the gray robe was watched by at least a dozen red beetles, and midra herself rested not far away.

The place was a forbidden area, and even Betsy and Petunia couldn't get close easily. In addition to the insects in charge of guarding, the other insects go down the mountain. They will find some hibernating mutants between the mountain cracks or dead trees. Some of them will be food for Betsy and her, while others will be a good meal for insects.

After dinner, they will spend the night in this stalagmite forest. When it is dawn tomorrow, it will be the time to start. Betsy is used to this rhythm. He and Petunia found a place to sit away from the insects and see their situation.

Petunia leaned against a thick stalagmite, squinted at midra and said, "I don't trust these insects."

"I am the same, but as far as the current situation is concerned, we have no choice but to cooperate with them," Betsy said faintly.

"Have you ever thought that if, as the bug said, it has the technology that can control biological thoughts, then if we send it to the door like this, we may be controlled by it and become its soldiers," whispered pedfeni.

"In fact, I doubt whether midra can reach the mountain," sighed Betsy, whose meaning was obvious. If midra can't even go out of the mountains and talk about returning to kaizelas, Petunia's worry will become very far away.

The bloody queen frowned and said, "you mean the red Archduke?"

"Yes, you saw it at storm fortress. Merlin also cares about the woman, otherwise he won't take her." at that time, Betsy was attacked by ice wings, but he still calmly observed the changes in the square, so he knew that Merlin shermidra took adimili.

Petunia was not as careful as him. At that time, there were many changes in the storm fortress. She didn't notice this detail at all.

"The red Archduke will definitely catch up, at that time!" when she said this, Betsy suddenly changed her face.

A sad red moon awn appeared on the horizon. At first, it was just an insignificant red light band. In the twinkling of an eye, it had roared and turned into an arc moon awn ten meters long. The red moon awn easily cut the stalagmites on the forward track. These rocks with hardness comparable to steel were easily cut like butter before the moon awn, which shows how sharp the energy edge constituting the crescent is. It is so sharp that even with the energy of pedfeni, I don't want to touch them easily.

Almost as soon as Betsy's face changed, Petunia immediately turned into a purgatory general. As an enchanting witch from purgatory, Petunia snorted coldly. As soon as the anti joint foot stepped on the ground, the rock fell apart, and the bloody queen had cut across the crescent moon in the middle of the sky, making Betsy shake her head again and again.

After yuemang cut off dozens of stalagmites all the way, four red beetles fell from the sky. The flying insects blew out a high-temperature fireball and fell on the moon Mang, but they couldn't stop its flying speed at all. If the moon does not change its orbit, its destination is midra, the worm king. So these midra's close guards killed their red eyes and rushed towards the moon awn, intending to use their bodies to prevent the moon awn from moving forward.

But they forget that the hardness of their shells is only a few points harder than stalagmites. So the pro guard insect, like a moth to the fire, hit the last month's awn, but it didn't last two seconds, so it was cut in two. Between the flying insects and blood, Petunia fell from the sky. The bloody queen stepped on the top of the moon awn and pressed it hard. There was a dull noise in the air, but it finally pressed the moon awn towards the ground. Finally, it disappeared into the stratum and disappeared, leaving only a crack ten meters long and not knowing the geometry!
