Chapter 136 - line of life and death (1/2)

The earth quaked and the mountains shook!

The Nefarious Filth Devourer's hill-like body filled the entire horizontal space of the canyon. As it pushed forward, it rubbed against the walls on both sides, causing stone fragments to fly everywhere and the ground to tremble. The Devourer was like a high-speed bulldozer. It continuously dug up the mud, stones, and flowers of the death god, pouring them into its seemingly bottomless stomach.

The speed at which it was moving seemed slow, but when it came to that gigantic body, that speed was incredibly shocking. However, in the blink of an eye, it had reached the corner where the few of them were. From a distance, he could see the Devourer's body that was constantly flowing with mud under the glow of the flower of death, as well as the mouth that was almost half the height of the canyon.

”Run!” The girl quickened her pace and moved towards the exit.

Zero also silently followed behind her. The two of them no longer cared about conserving their energy, they only wanted to get as far away from the Devourer as possible. Otherwise, once the Devourer made it, it wouldn't care if the monkeys waving around on the vine were to its liking. For the Devourer, even if the few of them weren't its main dish, it was still okay as a dessert.

The chase continued within the canyon.

The swaying walls of the mountain caused the vines to constantly shake, which created quite a bit of trouble for the two of them to move. Natasha was okay, and Zero had almost dropped the vine several times. Behind them, the Devourer was in hot pursuit. It was a bit faster than the two of them. As they got closer and closer to the Devourer, the stench from the Devourer's body started to rush into the nostrils of the three of them.

Zero threw himself forward and grabbed a length of vine. He didn't want his palms to become slippery from the sweat, but he wasn't able to hold on tightly to it. His entire body swayed forward. Fortunately, his other hand had not loosened, or else he would have fallen. Looking further back, the Devourer was very close, the difference between the two wasn't more than 1 km. Looking from this direction, the countless sand and sand on the ground of the canyon were flowing back into the mouth of the Devourer. As expected of a giant beast with the name of Earth Wiping Master, the Devourer had no intention of stopping to rest after filling its stomach.

Zero's stamina had already reached the bottom. He silently estimated that at this speed, they could only move about 2 more kilometers. However, after that, their speed would decrease, and they might even lose all their strength and fall to the bottom of the valley. However, the Devourer's speed had not slowed down. At this rate, it would be safe to catch up before the zero limit was reached. In other words, no matter what, Zero could not escape.

She was better off than he was, but very limited. If they couldn't stop the Devourer, they wouldn't be able to get through the canyon.

However making the swallowing monster stop wasn't easy at all, this was a huge beast's appetite. As she said, it wouldn't give up until it had eaten all the flowers in the canyon. But the two of them did not possess enough weapons or power to stop the Devourer. Whether it was the 'Zero' Colt or the 'Atisa's Wheel Saw', before the Devourer's massive body, they would only be a joke.

To make a monster like the Devourer stop moving, one needed at least a strategic-level weapon of war. But at this moment, where could they find such a weapon?

Zero continued to move, constantly thinking of possible strategies in his mind. However, after coming up with one method after another, he quickly rejected it. Combining their current environment, the equipment they carry and their own capabilities. All of these were replaced with data, but there was not enough data to support the feasibility of the method.

They moved another kilometer, and the devourer was about 300 meters away from them. The thing they were worried about had finally happened. As their stamina and speed decreased, the Devourer's constant speed gradually closed the gap between them. At this rate, they would be chased by the Devourers in less than half an hour.

He looked back again, and as his gaze swept over the ghostly flower of death in the Devourer's mouth, he thought of a possible but dangerous solution.

”How far is it from the exit?” Zero asked.

Atasha didn't know what he was going to do, but she still replied, ”There are still three more kilometers to go, but I'm afraid …”

”I have an idea.” Zero called out to her, ”No matter what, you have to speed up. I need to pull out a distance and time that I can attack! ”

”Are you crazy? There's no way to stop that big guy! ” cried Atasha.

Zero roared, ”We have to give it a try no matter what. Unless you want to die here, or perhaps, don't you want revenge? ”

Atasha's face changed, and she stopped talking. The black girl gritted her teeth and stopped calculating her physical strength according to what Zero told her. Instead, she started using all of them in one go. Immediately, Atasha's movement speed increased.

Zero took a deep breath and pushed all the damage values from his body out of his mind. Not caring about whether his body would collapse because of this, he used the Agility of a LV 5. Immediately, not only did he catch up with Atasha, but he also overtook her. His speed did not decrease at all as he moved between the vines.

Just like that, the two of them used all their might to move. In the blink of an eye, they were halfway there. Zero also successfully created a 1,200-meter distance between them.

He suddenly stopped and flipped over, hooking his foot onto the vine and drooping.

Colt moved to his hand and Zero took out a sniper rifle. The red light that was visible to the naked eye flowed from his finger towards the sniper rifle. When the red glow came from the sniper rifle, he pressed the fireball into the barrel.
