What makes zero feel strange is that in the face of such a snake girl, all the men in the caravan bow their heads, but no one is willing to look at the enchanting body. The snake girl seems to be aware of zero's eyes. Suddenly, a dark cross mark appears on her beautiful face, and then a face opens in different directions. After the face opened, it was a terrible mouthpiece, from which a "wheezing" hiss was emitted, as if roaring at the air.
Zero finally knows the reason. Anyone who looks at one moment or [Hao] breast beauty, the next moment suddenly becomes an alien, I'm afraid will be scared. No wonder those men in the caravan turn a blind eye to the Snake Girl. The determination of these guys is far from excellent.
"They don't like being watched. That's tantamount to provocation. Don't look at them any more," he said
With that, the old man came forward again. The snake girl took back her mouth and turned back to those sweet and quiet faces. This is a strange life of beauty and ugliness. Let's open the way, let caravans pass by it, and keep moving underground.
Zero has learned well. He doesn't look at the Snake Girl any more. He lowered his head and covered his face with a hood. Together with other hunters, Ling drove the overlord snail to the depth of the tree hole. After entering the tree hole, there is a straight down passage. When I first came in, I felt that it was dark all around. You can walk up a small section, and you can see that there are luminous crystal mother or light algae on both sides of the stone wall. It not only provides lighting, but also makes the underground world gorgeous as a sea of stars.
The passage keeps tilting downward. After about 500 meters, you can see an arch. There are many plant vines around the arch, but the center of the arch is cleared, and there are strange symbols made of luminous mica. These symbols are similar to human hieroglyphs, but each symbol seems to contain more information.
These symbols should be the words of the city of bides. And the alien race that has created characters can imagine that it has a higher civilization, but it is far from being comparable to the El race that even the language is just formed.
Through the arch, a spectacular underground world will appear in the eyes of zero. For a moment, zero doubted that what he saw was an illusion. I have seen one or two underground cities, such as Titan city in the wilderness near the coastline. When zero first entered Titan City, he felt that the dungeon was very spectacular, but compared with the present city of bides, it was a small and big one.
This strange life race, the underground race, has almost hollowed out about 5 kilometers of underground space. There are thick stone columns with a diameter of about 10 meters, which act as load-bearing columns to ensure that the strata above will not collapse. Each stone pillar has a variety of luminous mica, light moss and so on. These things flicker, emitting a hazy light, wrapped in the pillars, emitting a strange beauty.
And below it is the grand city. The structure of the city of bides presents a complex three-dimensional structure. It is not built on a plane, but according to the ups and downs of the terrain and the trend of the rock strata. It makes the structure of the whole underground city complicated, and the ornament of mica light moss makes the underground city gorgeous and suffocating.
The buildings of the underground people are also completely different from human beings. Their houses are more like huge eggs, which are distributed in every corner of the city. And there are more complex but all-round channels between houses as a link, and the channels crisscross up and down, weaving a dazzling traffic network. In the eyes of zero, he was almost sure that the city of bides would be the most unfavorable environment for street fighting.
If the enemy rushes into the city of bides rashly, the number of troops will be several times more than that of other tribes, and will also be completely cut off by such a complex traffic network, and then the harvest will be exhausted for the underground people who are familiar with the environment.
But I don't know whether such a transportation network is unintentional or intentional. If it is the latter, then the wisdom of this alien race can't be ignored.
In the middle of the city all night, another huge statue stands. The statue is very similar to the snake girl who leads the way. However, the statue has six arms and three faces facing the center and left and right sides. The statue is about 300 feet high and almost runs through the three-dimensional city. Only the upper part of the statue can be seen, while the lower part of the statue is located under the darkness of the city.
This statue has obvious female characteristics, so the underground people should be the Mu clan. As the caravan went deeper into the city of bides, he saw more and more underground people. Among these strange creatures, the most common one is the snake girl who is nearly three meters tall. These snake girls are in groups of four or five, swimming in the complex channel, like soldiers on patrol.
The Snake Girl on patrol holds a spear. The body of the spear is made of metal, but the tip of the spear is a piece of energy. From the point of view that there is no shaking of the energy spear tip, the energy jet of the spear maintains a relatively stable state. Snake girl holding energy spear, when passing by, the spear tip will shed a faint streamer in the air.In addition to the snake girl holding the spear, a moment later, zero saw the men of the underground race. Men's height is shorter than women's, only less than two meters, but as strong as a hill. They are also naked upper body, but the lower body is not a snake body, but a scorpion like body. These scorpion men carry a strange weapon in their hands. The front end is sharp and the back end is round. The round part is embedded with luminous spar, which occasionally overflows several streamers. The streamer flows rapidly over the object and finally disappears on the sharp edge of the front end.
It seems that this kind of thing should be a long-range attack gun, but I don't know the principle.
But from the energy spear and this kind of strange guns, the underground people have far more technological civilization than the El people. For example, energy weapons, even in asgatri, are relatively high-end weapons of the new era. But in the city of bides, it seems to be the conventional equipment of ordinary soldiers, but the power of these weapons is still unknown.
In addition to snake women and scorpion men, there are other underground people, both men and women, who are short and ugly, but have no snake or scorpion body. They are no different from human beings, but they all carry a meat bag on their back, just like people on their backs. These underground people should be ordinary residents. Instead of wearing weapons, they carry all kinds of tools. They are about climbing, on the big egg like houses, in the steep cliff with the tools in their hands, as if workers are perfecting the construction of the city of bides.
In zero's eyes, no matter the sexy Snake Girl or the majestic scorpion man, they are far less than those who are only one meter tall. They are more suitable to be slaves. After all, zero needs workers who are good at work, not soldiers who fight. What's more, no matter how brave the foreign soldiers are, their command is not as flexible as the human soldiers.
With different races and civilizations, there are many obstacles to communication. In the rapidly changing battlefield, the unimportant communication barrier may lead to the defeat of the whole war.
It can be predicted that when the city of bides is captured, the soldiers will be executed even if they are not in the war zone. After all, the victors don't want this race to have any remaining combat power. It's just that those sexy snake girls should keep some to sell to people with special collection habits.
As for zero, he can work as long as he is obedient.
When I was walking, I heard a series of screams. From the sound, it is the sound of human beings. Zero's face changed, but he found that it was not his caravan. He immediately traced the source of the sound and finally landed on a square building in the distance. This square building is the difference of the city of bides, which is a cube in appearance.
There is a huge symbol carved on the side facing zero. At this time, the symbol cracks from it, but it opens a door. There are several snake female pull a number of human bodies out, and the body to the lower part of the city to throw down. And the low calls came from the inside of the building.
"Don't look." Old rob went to zero and whispered.
"What's that?" Zero questions.
"It could be a laboratory or a slaughterhouse. Who knows? I only know that the soldiers of the city of bides go to the wilderness every year to catch some refugees. As for whether they are used for research or for food, I don't know and I don't want to know. Anyway, they just don't want to think of us pavalic. " Old rob replied.
No silence.
In turbulent times, human beings are no longer the only intelligent life. With the emergence of more and more intelligent races, it's no wonder that human beings, as the largest intelligent race, such as the underground race, have developed a higher civilization. All this is for survival. From the standpoint of human beings, what the city of bides has done is undoubtedly evil, but from the standpoint of a different race, which is no different from the study of them by human beings.
In this age of chaos, morality and justice have become very vague. Perhaps in this evolutionary competition, the final winner can cast the crown of justice for himself.
Who is right and who is wrong is no longer important. What matters is who lives to the end.
Zero wants to live, so it's more necessary for the city of bides. What's more, after seeing this strange race, from the standpoint of human beings, it is more necessary to erase the life that has already had its own civilization, such as the underground race. Only if there is less life like this, there will be more space for human survival.
In the age of cruelty, natural selection.
Finally, the caravan stopped at a loading ground, one of several squares in the city of bides, where warehouses were set up to store supplies. Zero and others unload the goods, and the small underground people carry them into the warehouse. At the entrance of the warehouse, there are several dwarves making the entry records, which shows that the underground people have their own perfect system.
After putting all the goods into the warehouse, the dwarf supervisor gives old rob a similar list of goods. After old rob signed it, the dwarf uttered a quick and urgent syllable, and finally uttered a word in human language: "welcome."Taking back the list, the dwarf called the snake girl who had been guiding the caravan before. After sending out a series of strange syllables, the snake girl nodded and made a follow-up gesture to the caravan. So old rob asked people to leave all kinds of strange animals, and the underground people would take care of them temporarily. As for the caravan people, they followed the snake girl to the temporary rest place in the city of bides.
It is also an elliptical building, built on the side of the mountain wall, extending in the direction of the crowd. From a distance, it looks like a huge stone, as if it will roll down at any time.
After leading them to the rest room, the snake girl said to old rob in stiff human language, "at night, deep well."
Two simple words, old rob knows what they mean. He bowed to the Snake Girl, who nodded, then turned and swam away. Zero came to old rob and said, "what did she say?"
"It's nothing. According to the usual trading practice, we'll give the goods to them. They will take us to the oil well under the city of bides in the evening. They will give us the corresponding amount of black gold according to the value of the goods. After we receive the goods, we will have a rest here for one night, and we will be able to return to pavarici tomorrow morning. " Old rob said in a low voice, "my Lord, though I don't know what you're doing in the city of bides. But I have to remind you that in the evening you'd better stay in their rest area. These things are not friendly. They just ask for us. But if you leave the rest area, you may bump into their guards in other places. I'm afraid... "
Old rob looked at the caravan again and said bitterly, "even if you don't think about yourself, you have pity on us. We still want to go back to parvallice."
Zero promised: "don't worry, we won't give you any trouble. Just now, is the well of the abyss that the snake girl said the mine of black gold? "
As soon as old rob led the caravan into the pebble house, he said, "the well of the abyss is what they call it. You'll know when you go there. Because the mine is at the bottom of the city of bides, which is already deep into the earth. It is not too deep to call it the well of the abyss. "
"I see."
Speaking, zero also stepped into the pebble house. The stone house has hundreds of square meters, but the space is spacious, and it doesn't seem narrow even if the caravan is packed with dozens of people. The stone house is tens of meters high, and the roof is inlaid with luminous mica. These scattered mica crystals give off soft light, making the roof look like a sea of stars. The light of mica is reflected, which makes the stone house bright.
Without any additional lighting, you can see clearly. What's rare is that the mica is bright but not strong. Even if you sleep under it, you won't feel dazzling. The stone house has been covered with soft animal fur. It seems that the underground people still take good care of the pavalic people, at least so that the caravan people will not sleep directly on the cold stone slabs. Looking around the stone house, there are some simple paintings.
As like as two peas on the wall, there was a tall throne, sitting on the throne and living like the statue of the center of the city. Under the throne, there are lots of eggs. Oval shaped eggs are all over the other walls. Judging from the height ratio between the eggshell and the creatures on the throne, these strange eggs are several meters high, if this painting adopts a ratio of one to one.
Obviously, the creature on the throne, the statue in the center of the city, should be some kind of idol worshipped by the underground people. I don't know if it's their king or the imaginary God?
"Naga." Looking at the mural, old rob said.
"What?"
"I mean, the creature on the throne is called Naga, the spiritual king of the city of bedes." Old rob said, "there is no king in the city of bides. They have only one role like sacrifice. After dealing with them for so many years, I know something about them. It seems that for these monsters, they believe that they are from the abyss, and Naga is the king of the abyss. They were all born of Naga's eggs, the descendants of Naga. But as far as I know, their descendants are all hatched by laying their own eggs. They are really a group of strange monsters. "
Zero also thinks it's incredible that this higher life body should adopt the relatively low-level reproductive form of egg laying. He had thought that in terms of the anthropoid form of the underground, these creatures should adopt the same viviparous method as human beings.
At this time, the underground people's short and deep cry sounded outside. But a dwarf ordered two scorpion men to carry a stone pot. Stone pot filled with green liquid, scorpion man put the stone pot at the entrance, but when he came near, he smelled a sour smell.
Old Rob's face became very ugly, and he muttered, "here we are again. Every time he comes, he entertains us with such a terrible thing. I have told them many times that we are stubborn not to eat this kind of food. "
With that, old rob went to negotiate with the dwarf. Zero evacuation toward the pot of liquid to see the eye, that green thing also from time to time out of some fat insect body. Although zero has eaten worms, it is also out of frustration. But in the city of bides, such things are not only the food of the underground people, but also the delicacy for entertaining guests.But the two races not only have different values, but also have great differences in the definition of delicious food.
Finally, he asked the underground people to carry away the big pot filled with terrible liquid. Old rob came back and said, "take out your own dry food and give me enough to eat, so that I won't have the strength to carry black gold for me later."
While saying this, old rob took out the dry meat and wine from his backpack and said to zero, "my Lord, please come and have some."
After seeing that pot of terrible liquid, the things in old Rob's hands can be called delicious. Zero is not polite, so I sat in a corner with the old man, eating and chatting. While the caravan was resting and eating, there was a small shock at the entrance of the tree hole where they came in.
The vibration comes from the mountain wall on the left side of the passage. The mountain wall is as strong as fine steel, and there are circles of earthy yellow halos. On the mountain wall affected by the halo, the hard rocks changed from hard to soft, then turned into sand one after another, and finally flowed to the ground. So a round hole appeared in the wall of the mountain. It was dark in the hole. A moment later, two figures came out of it, but Alice and Kim.
After falling to the ground, Alice flicked the mud off her body and said, "I don't see that you still have the potential to be a pangolin."
"Don't talk nonsense. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't want to sneak in so quietly." As he spoke, Jin manipulated the power of the earth element and filled the round hole that they had come through.
So when they left, no gravel could be found on the ground, and the mountain wall turned back to its original shape, but two foreigners sneaked into the city of Beatrice.
