The Final Limit of Evolution! Struggling in the Misty Mountains! Chapter 22 Hunting (for the Leader "The Eternity Promised by the Gods")
Chapter 22: Hunting (for the alliance leader "The Eternity Promised by the Gods" broke out)
It's so quiet here, like being in a tomb. A thick atmosphere of death dominates this place. There are no birdsong, no insects, no trace of wild beasts, not even the rustling footsteps of the two on the pine needles on the ground. The sound is also very clear!
What appears in front of us are the same pine trees and snow, and it seems that we can never see the end. In such a tense atmosphere, the physical exertion could be said to have increased exponentially, as if their chests were being pressed heavily by something invisible. It didn't take long for the two of them to sit down and rest.
Reef leaned against a pine tree and gasped:
"Jesus, what the hell is this place! In a forest without even a single wild animal, look at these pine cones, they were eaten clean! But where are the birds and squirrels that ate these pine cones? Where are they? ?”
Fang Senyan put down Wuge Girl, sat down silently, pinched a ball of snow next to him and stuffed it into his mouth, then stared at the top of the tree for a while and said:
"Probably no wild beasts, no birds or squirrels."
Jiao Shi sat up straight and said in surprise:
"How is that possible? What were these pine nuts eaten by?"
Sheyan's eyes showed a thoughtful look. He was not in a hurry to answer Liao Shi's question. Instead, he picked up a dead branch from the ground and began to write and draw on the ground. Soon Liao Shi also saw that Fang Senyan was Charting the route they took, he immediately joined in.
Reef was older than Sheyan, and had much more experience in the wild. The two quickly determined their current location, and pessimistically discovered that they were actually not too far away from the orc camp. If it was a straight line, In terms of distance, it's only about twenty kilometers at most.
The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and shook their heads. However, Sheyan's eyes quickly turned firm, and there was a ferocity that made Liao Shi feel very familiar. Whenever Sheyan faced huge danger, he would reveal his wild beast-like madness and strength.
"Let's go." Sheyan stood up, covered his chest and coughed twice. Although the chest injury previously hit by the tentacle monster has healed, the abnormal status curse attached to it is as vicious as a tarsal maggot. It has been almost two hours now, and there is no trace of it. signs of fading.
Fortunately, Wu Ge, who was leaning on his shoulder, barely opened her eyes, and pressed her palms on his chest with a pale face. Green light was scattered among the dots, and wisps of black gas could be seen flying out. , the gas formed the vivid shapes of centipedes, scorpions and other poisonous insects in the air, and then completely dissipated into the air.
Sheyan felt a sense of coolness pouring into his whole body, as if his whole body and internal organs had been washed by the clear and clean spring water. He suddenly felt refreshed, and a hazy green light appeared faintly on the surface of his body.
And the nightmare mark also sent a reminder:
"You have received the blessing of the Dawn Elf: all negative conditions on you are removed, all your resistances are increased by 15%, and all beneficial abilities related to probability are increased by 5% (including but not limited to hit rate, critical hit rate, synthesis probability of success, etc.).”
After displaying the blessing of the dawn elf, the elf girl fell into a semi-conscious state again. However, she did not seem to be seriously injured. Not only was the fresh body fragrance still there, but also her hair color and skin surface. The luster presents a strong feeling of vitality, just like the new green buds on the branches in spring.
There is no doubt that her situation at this time can only be explained by one explanation, that is, she is in an advanced stage of transformation that requires rest and accumulation. Only when she fully recovers can she be called a true Dawn Elf--- --The leader who can lead the elves in Middle-earth back to the Kingdom of God!
About half an hour later, the three surviving orcs slowly came from a distance. The leader of the strong orcs flapped his nose constantly, then looked at the pine tree next to him and said coldly:
"They stopped here."
The strong orc next to him had a rather ugly face and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's past noon now. If we pursue them further, even if we return in time, we probably won't be able to avoid that... thing!"
The leader of the strong orcs suddenly turned around. His eyes were red, full of ferocious warning. You could clearly see that there was a green sarcoma growing in his throat. There were dense blood vessels on the sarcoma and it was still beating. It felt like It seems to be in sync with the beating of the heart.
This sarcoma is an additional biotechnology developed by Saruman. It is still in the experimental stage and can only be used on some powerful orcs with greater utilization value. This sarcoma is called heterogeneous black body tumor. The process of creation is quite strange and evil. It was discovered when Saruman was studying tentacle monsters.
Because the tentacle monster's mouth is very underdeveloped, it can only chew food and it is difficult to digest it if swallowed. Therefore, there is always a symbiotic worm in its stomach. This worm is good at secreting powerful digestive juices and can Effectively decomposes food, so if there is no such parasite, the tentacle monster will often die due to indigestion.
However, everything in the world is too much or too little. Once the tentacle monster has a fixed and abundant food source, the worm will certainly not understand the importance of family planning/skin without hair, so it will also reproduce in large numbers. The final result is that the digestive system of the tentacle monster is full and ruptured and it dies. Therefore, when the tentacle monster understands this, dieting and regular and limited deworming become two major things in their lives.
Some of these worms that were killed and expelled were made into a strange parasite by Saruman using his unique method of mixing. If there is a strong orc with enough use value, the tentacle monster will cut a small hole in its throat and bury this thing under its skin. After a period of time, a heteromorphic black tumor will appear.
The strong orc who is planted with this "heterogeneous black tumor" is equivalent to having an extra heart, and both strength and survival ability will be greatly increased. But because the worms used for refining had lived in the tentacle monster for a period of time, most of the actions of this orc would be sensed by the tentacle monster with the tumor. Once there was a betrayal, Saruman's clone could use the corresponding tentacle monster to kill the orc remotely at any time.
Facing the fierce and pressing eyes of the orc leader, the questioning orc immediately took a step back and dared not say a word. Just as Saruman's clone had the absolute right to control the life and death of the orc leader, the orc leader could also form an absolute suppression on ordinary orcs!
"Chase, not necessarily die, don't chase, die!"
The hoarse voice of the orc leader has clearly analyzed the relationship of power. If you chase the enemy now and bring them back, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don't chase, the tentacle monster will see everything that happens here. Even if you successfully withdraw from this dangerous place, you will still die!
The three orcs were silent, and dared not say anything more. They followed the traces left by Fang Senyan and the other two and strode forward to chase. Their figures gradually disappeared in the pine forest, and the dead pine forest regained the mysterious and quiet atmosphere, as if everything would be swallowed and smoothed out.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon. After being filtered by the snow wind and clouds in the air, the sunlight shone down bleakly and reluctantly, and even had some pale meaning, but at least it dispelled the thick fog in the valley.
At this time, under the sunlight, you can vaguely see that there is a faint bleak mist steaming above the pine forest. If someone watches from a distance, even the line of sight will be vaguely distorted, as if there is a furnace below.
If this situation is naturally generated, it means that there are some precious things under the ground, mostly jade mines.
There are two lines of poetry called: "The moon in the sea is bright and the pearls have tears, the sun in the blue field is warm and the jade produces smoke." The first line of poetry describes the pearl, and the second line means that under the sunlight, the precious purple jade will rise with faint green smoke.
There is also an idiom called: pearls and treasures, which means that the best pearls will automatically emit brilliance, and treasures can release unique mist. However, looking at the strange mist covering the pine forest at this time, there is always an ominous sign in my heart for no reason.
Fang Senyan and Jiao Shi continued to move forward. The two knew that they should save their energy as much as possible, so they reduced the frequency of talking. As they continued to move forward, they found that the pine forest in front of them became sparse, the bark of the pine forest became dry and cracked, and the pine needles also appeared to be dead.
Seeing this situation, Fang Senyan's face became even uglier. He couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him. He had an uncontrollable urge to turn back immediately. It should be because of the perception of the warning, but this impulse was immediately strangled by his reason.
Fang Senyan looked up at the sky. Because he was "in this mountain", he didn't notice the light mist covering the pine forest. He just felt that the sun's light was a little too pale. In his and Reef's jungle concept, as long as the sun is still there, they will be relatively safe.
"Huh..." Reef let out a long breath: "Let's take a break now. This damn rule, why does it limit the storage space of the nightmare mark? I can't even find a sip of water to drink. I guess if I continue to move forward at full speed, my health will slowly decrease."
