What makes Zero feel strange is that in the face of such a [sexual] snake woman, the men in the caravan all bow their heads, but no one wants to take a look at the enchanting body. The snake girl seemed to notice Zero's eyes. Suddenly, a cross dark mark appeared on her beautiful face, followed by a face that opened in different directions. After opening his face, it was a terrible mouthpiece, which made a hiss of "wish" from the mouthpiece, as if roaring at the gas.
Zero finally knows the reason. Whoever looks at the previous moment and suddenly becomes an alien at the next moment, I'm afraid he will be scared. No wonder those men in the caravan turn a blind eye to the snake woman. The determination of these guys is far from excellent.
Old Rob quickly pulled Zero and said, "They don't like to be watched. That's equivalent to provocation. Don't look at them."
After saying that, the old man came forward again. The snake woman withdrew her mouth and turned back into those sweet and quiet faces. This collection of strange life, which is full of beauty and ugliness, opens the way, let the caravan pass by it, and continues to the ground.
Zero has learned to be good, and he no longer looks at the snake girl. He lowered his head and covered his face with a hood. Ling drove the overlord snail to the depths of the tree hole with other hunters. After entering the tree hole, there is a straight downward passage. When I first walked in, I felt that it was dark all around me. But when you walk up a small section, you can see glowing crystal mothers or photoalgae on both sides of the stone walls. It not only provides lighting, but also embellishes the underground world as gorgeous as a sea of stars.
The channel kept tilting downward, and after walking about 500 meters, Zero saw an arch. The arch is coiled around the vines of many plants, but the front of the arch has been cleared, with strange symbols pieced together with luminous mica. These symbols are similar to human hieroglyphics, but each symbol seems to contain more information.
In the heart of Zero, these symbols should be the words of the city of Bethes. The alien race that has created words can imagine that it already has a high civilization, but it is far from comparable to the Er people, where even the language has just formed.
Walking through the arch, a spectacular underground world appeared in the eyes of Zero. For a moment, Zero suspected that what he saw was hallucinations. I have also seen one or two underground cities, like a Titan City in the wilderness near the coastline. When Ling first entered Titan City, he felt that the underground city was very spectacular, but compared with the current City of Betis, it was small and big.
The strange life race of the underground family has almost hollowed out nearly 5 kilometers of underground space, with thick stone pillars with a diameter of about 10 meters. They play the role of load-bearing columns to ensure that the upper strata will not collapse. There are various glowing mica, light moss, etc. on each stone pillar. These things flash, emitting a hazy light wrapped around the stone pillars, emitting strange beauty.
And below it is a majestic underground city. The structure of Betis City 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 direction of rock formations. The structure of the whole underground city is complicated, and coupled with the embellishment of mica moss, the underground city is gorgeous and suffocating.
The buildings of the underground people are also completely different from human beings, and their houses are more like huge eggs, distributed in all corners of the city. The more complex but well-connected channels between the house and the house are intertwined, weaving a dazzling transportation network. Such an environment fell in the eyes of Zero, and he was almost sure that the city of Betis would be the most unfavorable environment for street fighting.
If the enemy rushes into the city of Betis, the number of troops will be several times larger than that of the aliens, and will be completely cut off by such a complex transportation network, and then be harvested 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 this alien wisdom cannot be ignored.
In the middle of the city all night, there stands a huge statue. The statue is very similar to the snake woman who leads the way. Unlike the statue, the statue has six arms and three faces facing the middle and left and right sides. The statue is 300 feet high and almost runs through the three-dimensional city. Zero can only see the upper body, while the lower body is located below the dark of the city, almost melting into the darkness.
This statue has obvious female characteristics. In this way, the underground clan should be the mother clan. Zero guessed, and as the caravan went deep into the city of Betis, Zero also saw more and more underground people. Among these strange lives, the most common is the snake woman who is nearly three meters tall. These snake women are in groups, swimming in complex passages, like patrolling soldiers.
The snake woman on patrol holds a spear. The spear is cast by metal, but the tip of the spear is a piece of energy. Judging from the fact that the tip of the energy spear does not shake, the energy ejection of the spear maintains a relatively stable state. The snake woman holds an energy spear. When she passes by, the tip of the spear will flow a faint streamer in the air.
In addition to the snake woman with a spear, after a while, Zero saw the man of the underground clan again. Men are shorter than women, less than two meters tall, but strong like a hill. They are also naked, but the lower body is not a snake body, but a scorpion-like arthropod trunk. These scorpion men hold a strange weapon in their hands, with a sharp front end and a round back end. The circular part is embedded with glowing crystals, and the crystals occasionally overflow several streamers, which quickly flow through the object and eventually disappear on the sharp mouth of the front end.
It seems that this kind of thing should be a long-range attack gun, but I don't know why.
But from the perspective of the energy spear and this strange gun, the underground people have a scientific and technological civilization far beyond the El people. Energy weapons are relatively high-end weapons in the new era even in Asgarterry. But in the city of Bethes, it seems to be the conventional equipment of ordinary soldiers, but the power of these weapons is not yet known.
In addition to snake women and scorpion men, there are also some other underground people. Both men and women are short and ugly, but they do not have snake bodies or scorpions. They are no different from human beings, but they all carry a meat bun on their backs, as if they were carrying people. These underground people should be ordinary residents. They are not wearing weapons, but carry various tools. They are about climbing, knocking on the huge house and between the steep rock walls with the tools in their hands, as if they were perfecting the construction of the city of Betis like workers.
In the eyes, whether it is a sexy snake woman or a strong scorpion man, it is far less than these little guys who are only a meter tall and 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 alien soldiers are, they are not as flexible as human soldiers.
With different races and different civilizations, communication is naturally a lot of obstacles. On the rapidly changing battlefield, no more inconspicuous communication obstacles may also lead to the defeat of the whole war.
Zero has foreseen that when the city of Betis is captured, the soldiers will be executed if they are not in the war. After all, the victors don't want this race to have leftover combat power, but those sexy snake girls should leave some to sell to people with special collection hobbies.
As for zero, as long as he is obedient, he can work as a worker.
While walking, there were suddenly bursts of screams. From the sound, it is the sound made by human beings. Zero's face changed, but he found that it was not issued by his own caravan. He immediately tracked the source of the sound and finally landed on a square building in the distance. This square building is an alien of the city of Betis, which is a cube from its appearance.
There is a huge symbol engraved on this side of zero. At this time, the symbol cracks from it, but opens a door. Several snake women pulled several human corpses out and threw them down the underground city. And the low cry still came from the interior of the building.
"Don't look." Old Rob walked to Zero's side and whispered.
"What is that?" Zero question.
It may be a laboratory or a slaughterhouse. Who knows? All I know is that the soldiers of Betis go to the wilderness to catch some exiles every year. As for whether they are used for research or food, I don't know or want to know. Anyway, it's good that they don't think about our Pavalić. Old Rob replied.
Zero silence.
In turbulent times, human beings are no longer the only intelligent life. With the emergence of more and more intelligent races, human beings, as the largest intelligent races, are strange that life beings such as underground races that have developed higher civilizations do not catch human beings back for research. All this is for survival. From the standpoint of human beings, what Bethes did is undoubtedly evil, but from the standpoint of aliens, which is no different from human study of them.
In this chaotic era, morality and justice have become very vague. Perhaps in this evolutionary competition, the final winner can forge the crown of justice for himself.
It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, but who lives to the end.
Zero wants to live, so it is even more inevitable for the city of Betis. What's more, after seeing this strange race, from the standpoint of human beings, it is more necessary to erase lives such as underground people who already have their own civilization. Only when there are fewer lives like this will there be more space for human beings to survive.
In the cruel era, natural selection.
Finally, the caravan stopped at a loading and unloading yard, which is one of several squares in the city of Betis, where there is a warehouse to reserve supplies. Zero and others unloaded the goods, and the short underground people carried the goods into the warehouse. At the entrance of the warehouse, there are also several dwarves making warehouse records, indicating that the underground people have their own perfect system.
After putting all the goods into the warehouse, the dwarf supervisor gave it to old Rob with something similar to the goods list. After the old Rob signed on it, the dwarf made a fast and urgent syllable, and finally said a word in human language: "Welcome."
After taking back the list, the dwarf called the snake girl who had led the way to the caravan and made another strange syllables, the snake girl nodded and made a gesture to the caravan. So the old Rob asked people to leave all kinds of alien beasts, and the underground people would temporarily take care of them. As for the people of the caravan, they followed the snake girl to the temporary rest house prepared for them in the city of Bites.
is also an elliptical building built on the edge of the mountain wall and extends in the direction when everyone comes. From a distance, it looks like a huge stone that seems to roll down at any time.
After leading the crowd to the lounge, the snake woman said to the old Rob in stiff human language, "At night, the well of the abyss."
Two simple words, but old Rob knows what they mean. He bowed to the snake girl, nodded, and then turned around and swam away. Ling came to the old Rob and said, "What did she say?"
"Nothing, according to the practice of previous transactions, we handed over the goods to them. Rest and eat here, and in the evening they will take us to the oil well under the city of Bethes. They will give us a corresponding amount of black gold according to the value of the goods. After receiving the goods, we will rest here for one night and return to Pavaridge tomorrow morning. Old Robert whispered, "Your Excellency, although I don't know what you are going to do with the city of Bedes. However, I have to remind you that you'd better stay in the rest area arranged by them at night. These things are not friendly, just for us, but if you leave the rest area, I'm afraid to hit their guards in other places..."
Old Rob looked at the people in the caravan again and said bitterly, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still feel sorry for us. We still want to go back to Pavalic."
Zero promised, "Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. Just now, is the abyss well mentioned by the snake woman a mine of black gold?
Old Rob commanded the people of the caravan into the round stone house and said, "The wells of the abyss are what they call. You will know when you go there. Because the mine is at the bottom of the city of Beidas, which has gone deep into the ground, and it is not too much to call it the well of the abyss.
"So it is."
While talking, Zero also stepped into the pebble house. This stone house has hundreds of square meters, but the space is spacious, and the dozens of people in the caravan are not narrow. The stone house is dozens of meters high, and the roof is covered with glowing mica. These scattered mica crystals emit soft light, making the roof look like a sea of stars. The brilliance of mica is reflected, making the stone house also bright.
There is no additional lighting, so you can see it clearly. Rarely, the mica is bright but not strong, and even if you sleep under here, 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 Pavalić, at least so that the people of the caravan will not sleep directly on the cold stone slabs. Looking around the stone house, there are some simple paintings.
On the wall facing the gate, there is a high throne, on which sits a creature exactly like the statue in the center of the underground city. Under the throne, there are dense eggs. Elliptical eggs are covered with other walls. Judging from the height ratio between the eggshell and the creatures on the throne, these strange eggs are also several meters high, if this painting takes a one-to-one ratio.
Obviously, the creature on the throne, that is, the statue in the center of the city, should be some kind of idol worshipped by the underground clan. I don't know if it is their king or an imaginary god?
"Naga." Looking at the mural, old Rob said.
"What?"
"I mean, the creature on the throne is called Naga, and he is the spiritual king of the city of Bedis." Old Rob said, "There is no king in the city of Betis. They only have a role like sacrifice. I have been dealing with them for so many years, and I know more or less. It seems that for these monsters, they believe that they come from the abyss, and Naga is the king of the abyss. They are all born of Naga's eggs and the sons of Naga. But as far as I know, their descendants are completely hatched by laying their own eggs. What a group of inexplicable monsters.
Zero also finds it incredible that this kind of higher life body actually adopts the relatively low-level form of fertility. He originally thought that in terms of the humanoid pattern of the underground race, these lives should adopt the same fetal method as human beings.
At this time, the short and low cry of the underground people sounded outside. But a dwarf instructed two scorpion men to bring a stone pot. The stone pot was full of green **. The scorpion man put the stone pot at the entrance and smelled a sour smell without waiting to approach.
Old Rob's face became very ugly and muttered, "Here we go again. Every time he comes, he treats us with such a terrible thing. How many times have I told them that we don't eat this kind of thing? It's really stubborn.
Saying this, old Rob still walked over to negotiate with the dwarf. Zero took time to look at the pot**, and some fat worm bodies appeared on the green thing from time to time. Although Zero has also eaten worms, it is also out of helplessness. However, in the city of Betis, such things are not only the food of the underground people, but also used to entertain guests.
The two races not only have different values, but also have a great difference in the definition of deliciousness.
After finally carrying away the cauldron full of terrible ** by the underground people, old Rob came back and said, "Take out the dry food you brought with you and give me enough to save me no strength to carry black gold."
As he spoke, old Rob took out dry meat and wine from his backpack and said to Zero, "Your Excellency, come and have some food."
After seeing the terrible liquid in the pot, the things in old Rob's hand can be called delicious. Zero was not polite, so he sat in the corner and chatted with the old man while eating. While the caravan was resting and eating, a small shock occurred at the entrance of the tree hole where they came in.
The vibration comes from the mountain wall on the left side of the channel, and the earthy yellow halo of the mountain wall as hard as steel continues to appear. On the mountain wall affected by the halo, the hard stones went from hard to soft, then turned into mud and sand one after another, and finally leaked to the ground. So a round hole appeared between the walls of the mountain. The hole was dark. After a moment, two figures came out of it, but Alice and Jin.
After falling to the ground, Alice bounced off the sand and said, "I don't see that you still have the potential to be a pangolin."
"Don't talk nonsense. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have sneaked in so quietly." As he spoke, Jin manipulated the power of the earth element and filled the round hole that the two walked through.
So when the two left, a gravel on the ground could not be found, and the mountain wall changed back to its original appearance, but the city of Bice sneaked into two outsiders.
