Chapter 526 (1/2)
A saber appeared in zero's hand, and he nailed it with his backhand into the gap between the jaws of the ice lurker. The lurk was stabbed, but died immediately. It desperately paddled his feet, trying to scratch the man's body in front of him. But the other hand grabbed one of the legs of the lurker and swung it to the ground. The fierce collision made the lurker feel dizzy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I picked the handle of the saber on the lurker and immediately pushed the saber all the way along the gap between the crustaceans. With a large amount of insect blood bubbling out of the wound, the feet of the lurker kept rowing until it slowly stopped, thus declaring death.
Looking at the insect corpse on the ground, Merlin said faintly, ”I can't see that your fighting skills are not so bad.”
”Thank you... Be careful!”
They were passing a mud marsh when suddenly a column of mud shot up from the pool behind Merlin. In the mud column flow, a three meter tall monster pounced on Merlin. Merlin didn't turn his head back. His backhand was just a chop. But I saw a red light as thin as silk on the monster. The monster's movement immediately stopped, and then from the shoulder from the lower abdomen inclined crack, into two huge bodies fell back into the pool.
After killing a muddy guard, Merlin continued to drag his axe as if nothing had happened.
Zero raises the saber on the lurker, looks up at this oasis wrapped by water mist, and sighs in his heart. Since they entered the continent of silence, they have killed many monsters, such as lurkers and mud guards. This oasis is probably the most dangerous natural area I have ever seen. The crisis comes from all sides. It can be under the coconut trees, it can come from the mud, and it is more likely to emerge from the land under your feet.
These dangerous mutants are almost everywhere, and the zero and two people have left as many as 100 such corpses along the way. For example, the saber materialized from energy in zero's hand has been broken several times, and each time it is repaired through energy supplement.
The island of silence is worthy of the name of silence. This oasis is as quiet as death. Whether lurkers or muddy guards, the monsters here seem to be good at hiding. It's not until they attack that they react like energy and breath. In this way, a zero pistol is basically useless. When danger breaks out around us, cold weapons like sabers and daggers play a greater role.
Silent island is an 8-shaped terrain, which is composed of mire, wetland and coconut forest. The air is very damp and stuffy, and it also contains a small amount of toxin. Once excessive exercise and inhalation of a large amount of toxic air, it will lead to general paralysis and immobility. After entering the island of silence, Merlin would tear a few leaves from some ferns from time to time and put them in her mouth.
When these leaves meet with saliva, they can secrete some strange substances. These substances can improve the lung's intake of oxygen, but also neutralize the toxins in the air, so that he and zero will not be poisoned in strenuous exercise. Dagong told zero that the Tuku people rely on these leaves so that they can fly around in the silent continent without worrying that they will be poisoned and become food rations for some monsters.
These seemingly insignificant leaves are one of the few secrets of the island of silence.
Zero was curious why Merlin knew these secrets, but the red Duke didn't say, and he didn't go out of his way to ask. He only knew that it seemed too arrogant for him to kill them all the way. It was like telling the oasis that they were coming.
On this question, Merlin replied, ”if you don't, you won't find that person.”
Since red Dagong thinks so, zero will not ask any more. Since you decide to cooperate, sometimes you have to trust your partner. Just like zero at the moment, after picking up the saber, put an energy beam into the saber. Through the transformation of material, the gap on the saber was repaired. Zero can't help sighing that he has picked the most vulnerable part of the lurk's body, but still let the saber break a few holes.
You know, when you first entered the island of silence, when you killed the first lurker, you directly broke a saber. The crustaceans of these monsters are very hard, only soft in the jaw gap. After killing several lurks, zero almost became an expert on this monster. In fact, with the detection of the structure of the golden right eye, almost no creature can hide the detection of zero.
They walked around the marsh and into a coconut grove. If you step on the wetland, you can feel the hot air rising from the ground. This is because there is a large range of hot spring area under the silence island. Originally, the hot spring area only existed in the area near the volcano, but there was no volcano in the silent island.
However, in the new era, the plates collided and joined with each other, resulting in great changes in geomorphology. It's not surprising that there are burning mountains under the silent continent. Geologists may be interested in the unique environment of oases, but they are not experts in this field, and they lack interest in research. He only knew that it was not suitable for human beings to live here. The island of silence was just a paradise for mutuals and Tuku people.There was a sudden slight vibration in the air, and zero quickly locked the direction. When you look at it, you can see a shadow flying across the coconut trees. In a twinkling of an eye, it comes to the bottom of zero's head. The sound of breaking the air was loud on his head, and a cold light pressed down, straight to the center of his eyebrows.
Zero cold hum, the sabre on the grid, and then hit with the cold light. The huge force from the saber is transferred to zero's body through his arms, and then led to the ground by his feet. The surface of the wetland, which was not solid, immediately sank, and the sole of each foot sank into the ground. At this time, he saw the strange life from high altitude.
Although they are humanoid creatures, we can't see which kind of life evolved from. A strange life that can only be attributed to a heteromorphic body has an elliptical head covered with a biological shell from the forehead to the back. Its body is thin, its hands are long and its feet are long, and its chest and shoulders are covered with a layer of biological tissue like biological armor, which seems to play a protective role.
It has short sharp spines on its long arms, while its oversized palm has a meat membrane between its fingers, which is like that between the toes of a frog. This heteromorphic body holds a short blade in both hands. From the style, it should be self-made. But it's sharp enough, which can be seen from the cold luster of the blade surface. If it wasn't for the petty saber to block the short blade, I'm afraid it would have been cut in two by the alien body from head to foot.
One hit, the body is still in the suspended state of the heteromorphic body, suddenly from both sides of the abdomen spurt hot air. This makes it slide back in the air, and when it falls to the ground, it moves quickly again, and from time to time uses the jet air to change the track, making it difficult for people to lock its position.
