Chapter 73 Threat

When Sauron's troops intervened, Zero quietly retreated.

Not every plan is unexpected, and Zero is very clear about this. It's just that Sauron's troops can join the war at this critical time, and it seems that there is a pretty good deputy in his army. At least this man is not afraid of being blamed for interfering in Sauron's battle, and he also understands that the army's initiative to intervene did give Sauron a chance to save face and go down the steps.

It was Kabu, a tracking expert in the Sauron team who mobilized his troops to intervene. Although he did not belong to the Parkland family, his parents served this family, and his loyalty was beyond doubt. Kabu is no exception. With the qualification of a third-order hunter, he quickly smelled the danger.

After Sauron left the camp alone, Kabu also circled around and found that the monsters hidden in the ruins seemed to be attracted by something. In the meantime, Kab found a faint trace of blood. Fresh blood is enough to move the bloodthirsty monsters, but from the smell in the air, Kabu senses that these monsters are not only moved, but also crazy.

That smell is precisely due to the smell of mutatic creatures unconsciously excreted into the air through their bodies under excitement, which is difficult for experienced hunters to find. These body smells are like the smell of old-era beasts when they are courting, but for the mutants of this era, it means that they have a strong appetite for something.

Appetite is not rare in this era. What's surprising is that there are so many different kinds of creatures that are stimulated with a strong appetite, which is very problematic. At least in Kab's knowledge system, although there are drugs that have been developed against certain mutant organisms to stimulate their appetite for research and observation. But it can act on different kinds of creatures at the same time, which Kabu has never heard of.

Compared with this, Sauron's danger worries Cabb more. In the traces of monsters he found, there were already murderers such as butchers and shadow killers, and deeper in the ruins, some more powerful beings also showed signs of improving. It's just that they are higher-level and relatively intelligent, so their ability to restrain themselves still allows them to stay in the dark and act as silent observers.

It is not surprising that high-level creatures have human-like wisdom. At least Kabu has heard from his father that there are still strange species that can transform between humans and beasts in the dark northwest of Central Continent, which has not yet been conquered by humans. And there are many mutants with no less than human intelligence. In turbulent times, all creatures have been reshuffled by nature, and human beings are no longer the only intelligent creatures.

Returning to the camp, Kabu immediately ordered the army to start from Sauron's battlefield with his authority. And just in case, he even took Leah with him, which failed Zero's original plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

Find a secluded place, this is a machine tool processing factory. There are a lot of metal equipment piled up in the factory, which makes Lala next to Zero very excited. Looking at the cub that swallowed the gold worm, Zero showed a thoughtful expression. The reason why he can attract all kinds of monsters, even high-level goods such as butchers and shadow killers, can be done not only by his own blood.

More, it's still Lala's credit. Zero originally just wanted to attract some ordinary low-level monsters, but he didn't expect that monsters like Shadow Killer were also attracted. In this process, after repeated tests, it was known that these monsters were attracted by Lala's smell. And judging from the actions of monsters, what they want to do most is to eat Lala in one bite.

In this monster note, Zero has seen the record that mutagenic creatures will prey on the same species, which is usually a helpless choice made to repair his genes or when he is hungry and has no food. However, mutagenic organisms usually do not prey on other types of organisms, because completely different genetic fragments will collapse the predator's body.

Of course, human food like Tang monk meat is in the recipes of all known monsters.

Therefore, the appetizing of different kinds of monsters makes Zero have to re-examine the cub, which means that Lala has something that these monsters don't want to take. Monsters eat monsters. In most cases, there is only one possibility, which is to complete and evolve!

Watching Lala swallow sections of steel scrap iron into her bottomless belly with her toothless mouth, she shook her head. This greedy guy is simply a monster version of the evolutionary potion. If it is sold to other organizations or research institutes, it should be able to sell it at a good price.

Zero thought with a little malice, but Lala, who was eating happily, suddenly shivered.

As long as he is not blind, it can be seen that Sauron is now full of anger.

The army led by Kabu appeared in a timely manner. The metal torrent of machine guns and quick-fire guns deterred all the monsters present, and the strong smell of gunpowder on the battlefield called the nearby monsters to retreat. Sauron was successfully rescued, but he was furious with an embarrassed face. Naturally, the source of anger was the zero that had never been exposed, and Kabu was also surprised. In his eyes, zero can only be regarded as excellent, but far less powerful.

But such a guy with only second-order ability almost made Sauron suffer a big loss. No wonder Sauron is so angry. But in Kabu's view, there is no need for Sauron to confront Zero at all. As long as Leah is brought back to the Dark Council, Sauron's task will be completed. As for Zero, there are other blood horses in the parliament to deal with him, if he insists on saving the girl.

However, when Kab gave a suggestion to leave tomorrow morning, he roared back at Sauron.

Sauron's reason is very simple. If zero is let go, he and the Parkland family will lose face. As for maintaining the glory of the ancient family, successors like Sauron can almost put it into action without thinking about it, and when it comes to the height of family glory, Cab can't let Sauron give up.

It's just that he also disapproves of wasting too much time on Zero, so a suggestion that Sauron could reluctantly accept came out of Kabu's mouth.

"Take that girl as a hostage and force yourself to come out and submit?" Sauron frowned, and there was no doubt that this method was direct and useful. Judging from the importance of the girl, Sauron is almost certain that he will appear 100%, but there is no doubt that he is worried.

Kabu is also very clear that the dignity of the blood horse and the face of the ancient family, which are not important to the hunter, are the elements that restrict the Sauron operation. But Kab pointed out that if Soren could not win zero in a short time, it would be a blow to the family's face. The two trade-offs were light, and Sauron finally adopted Kab's suggestion.

So a threat that makes zero have to comply.
