The hundreds of miles of forest on the Zambis Mountains is dead from the outside. Whether it is the towering trees that have withered branches and leaves due to the perpetual wind and snow, or the few traces of biological activity in the forest, it seems to indicate that this is a dead forest or is dying. But in fact, it is young and vibrant.

The vitality hides under the snow and in the depths of the forest.

In just a few decades, various fir trees and ferns have evolved to adapt to the environment to make their roots deeper and longer to absorb water under the surface. Compared with the harsh surface environment, the underground world is relatively warm, and the thin but never dry ground water provides space for these mutatic plants to live.

As for creatures, they have their own unique way of living.

The times are changing and the world is changing. Only by changing themselves, evolving themselves and optimizing genes can organisms continue to survive in this cruel environment. And the surviving creatures have their own way of survival. In this vast forest, there are thousands of species living in the same way of living.

Among them, the laziest way to survive is the ice meteorite scorpion. This scorpion, which lives in the depths of the forest, is usually nearly three meters long, and its surface is covered with thick ice armor like exoskeleton. These armors make the giant scorpion rough and thick, and ordinary rifles can only leave bullet marks on them. Ice scale scorpions also have two scorpion dragonflies, but these two scorpion dragonflies are very disportionate.

The scorpion on the left is as big as a cart, but the scorpion on the right is very small, so when the ice scale scorpion attacks its prey, it usually uses their powerful left citing. Of course, as scorpions, they also have a deadly thorn. It's just different from the attack method of ordinary scorpions piercing poison objects and injecting them with venom. The sting of the ice scale scorpion is actually a high [pressure] water gun, which is pressurized by a special organ in the tail. The ice scale scorpion can shoot ice cold body fluids from the small hole of the cibite that can freeze conventional organisms instantly.

The body fluids sprayed by the adult ice scale scorpion scorpion sting are as far away as ten meters, and the water pressure is very high when spraying, so that the sprayed body fluids are shaped like water arrows and can easily penetrate rocks. Of course, they can also cut through the bodies of prey bodies that are not strong.

It's just this kind of ice scale scorpion that frightens other creatures, and many times they hibernate in their own nests. In a year, less than a month is the period when they feed and breed. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the ice scale scorpion has already become the hegemon of the forest. That's why they are well-deserved lazy insects in the forest.

The nests of ice-scorpions are mostly located in natural caves dozens of meters below the surface, which isolates the cold air on the ground and becomes a natural hotbed for ice-scorpions to hibernate. When they hibernate, they will shrink their scorpion and tail thorns to disguise themselves as ice rocks. In fact, their blue-gray armor makes the scorpions look no different from rocks.

If an eyeless creature carelessly passes by the scorpion, the ice scale scorpion does not mind capturing the food that it hits the door. After a full meal, these lazy guys will continue to sleep until the mating period comes.

There are only four or five hundred ice scale scorpions hidden in underground caves, but this is already a large group for this huge mutaphre. As the king of this group, the ice and snow tyrants are usually in a shallow sleep state. It is not only the king of scorpions, but also the most powerful guard, so as to protect its own ethnic group from hibernation or breeding.

The Ice and Snow Tyrant is the strongest of all scorpions. The strength is not only reflected in its huge body shape ten meters long and wide, but also in its much heavier ice armor than ordinary scorpions. The thickness of armor on the ice and snow tyrant can be said to be the crown of the whole family. And unlike other scorpion scales, the ice and snow tyrant has sharp ice thorns in many parts, which makes it look very difficult to mess with.

In fact, in addition to the common attack method of ice scales and scorpions, the ice tyrant also has the ability of ice elements, which is also its capital to defend the ethnic group.

The underground cave is warm and humid, which is the favorite environment of the ice and snow tyrant. It is disguised as a huge rock, and its breathing and heartbeat drop to three to five times per hour during hibernation. This greatly reduces the speed of blood circulation in the body and also saves physical energy and energy consumption. But in such a state, some senses of the ice and snow tyrant are still keen.

For example, its flat abdomen close to the ground, which has several special muscles on its body wrapped in thick ice armor. They are very ** to shocks. Once a creature approaches the nest of the scorpion colony, the ice and snow tyrant will know and react as soon as possible.

At this moment, it suddenly felt an unusual vibration while sleeping. The shock is small, but it is enough to alert it. So the ice and snow tyrant woke up from his deep sleep and first lit up two faint blue rays in the black gap between his stomachs. Followed by the camouflage boulder, cracks appeared, and then the appearance of the boulder began to deform.

Open a giant chet from the front, which is much larger than other ice scales and scorpions. The left chet is like a bucket of a forklift. When it hit the ground, it shakes the cave slightly. Follow the right chrysan and tail thorn to stretch out, followed by three pairs of hard-haired worm limbs stretched out from under the flat abdominal armor. His feet are flat and stretched, holding up the ice and snow tyrant's ten-meter-long body.

After changing from a huge rock to a big bug, the ice and snow tyrant flew towards the source of the vibration. It seems clumsy, but there is no sound between movements and it is extremely flexible. Even if there are as many ice scale scorpions hibernating in the cave, the ice and snow tyrant can always pass by them without alarming them. After passing through the natural cave used as a nest, the ice and snow tyrant entered the complex underground branch.

This is the periphery of the nest and also a maze. Natural caves crisscross, making the terrain here complex enough to confuse the creatures who come here for the first time, and it is also a natural defense line for the ice-scorpion nest. Naturally, the ice and snow tyrant is very familiar with the terrain here. As soon as it enters the maze, it does not stop at the source of vibration.

The smell of danger in the air and another smell of panthenic quietly floated over. This made the ice tyrant very angry, because the smell was the smell of ice scale scorpion blood. In other words, there is something hunting its people near the nest. The speed of the ice and snow tyrant under anger suddenly increased, and the complex terrain was like a flat ground in its eyes.

The smell of scorpion blood began to become stronger, and the closer it was, the more irritable the ice and snow tyrant became. In the end, the body of an ice scale scorpion appeared in its eyes. The adult scorpion's body was turned upside down, and the part from the head to the tail thorn was cut open by something, causing internal organs and blood to flow all over the ground. The ice tyrant let out an angry hiss and continued to walk, and he saw the bodies of several clans one after another.

These bodies were fatally hit, and the wounds were so huge that they were eye-catching. But obviously, the ice tyrant is not interested in studying the ability and strength of the murderer from the corpse. Now he just wants to tear up the guy who dares to kill his people, no matter what kind of creature it is. Soon, the ice and snow tyrant saw a giant figure from afar.

That's a back, and human-like creatures hold something high. Then the dark red light lit up in the cave, and finally another ice scale scorpion struggled painfully on the ground and gradually lost its sound.

The ice and snow tyrant made a shrill cry, shaking the whole cave gently. Its three pairs of feet seemed to slide on the ice, and pressed against the murderer with a huge body. Seeing that he was about to approach the murderer, the left chet like a forklift swept away and smashed several stalagmites in the air. At the same time, it fell on the murderer with the power of the mountains.

The giant turned around and used a wide dark red sword as a shield to block the earth-shaking blow of the ice and snow tyrant. With the giant's nearly five-meter-high body, it also brought instability to the tyrant's left sweep and flew out to the other side. After breaking more than a dozen stalagmites, the giant hit a rock wall and stopped himself.

It shook its head and stood up, and its one eye on its head was full of fighting spirit. The giant waved his four hands, and something like a meat tube behind his shoulder spewed out a hot smoke, and followed it to run up, ten meters in one step!

The ice and snow tyrant is not weak. It is like a heavy chariot. The chariot turned around and followed the carriage towards the giant.

The two giants met halfway and bumped into each other fiercely. At the moment of the collision, a fierce storm was released, which led to a few steps back in the opposite direction.

The giant stepped on large rocks one after another before stopping and then turned back and rushed up. He beat the ice and snow tyrant like a war hammer with the dark red sword in his hand. In the face of the crazy attack of the giant, the ice and snow tyrant blocked it from time to time and wiped the gorgeous sparks with the sword. During the fight, the giant suddenly had a pain under his feet. Looking down, a sharp ice knife somehow plunged into the soles of its feet.

The giant pulled up his big foot, bypassed the ice knife and continued to attack the ice and snow tyrant. Unexpectedly, the ice knife seemed to be a living thing and swallowed between the ground, and followed the giant with a faint smoke. Then the second and third ice skates were generated on the ground. They staggered across the ground like the dorsal fins of bloodthirsty sharks in the deep sea towards the giant.

In fact, this is one of the abilities of the ice tyrant. Generate a sharp ice knife that automatically tracks the target, which can interfere with the guerrilla. Once the opponent ignores these icy fangs on the ground, the result is often cut into pieces by the ice knife.

Under the interference of the ice knife, the giant could not let go and attack as before. It should be careful not to be cut off by the ice knife on the ground, but also pay attention to the attack of the ice and snow tyrant. Suddenly, it was in a hurry. Finally, the giant screamed and smashed the sword into the ice and snow tyrant like an axe, but the man turned back and ran away.

The ice and snow tyrant blocked the sword with his left chry, and the sword wiped out a spark and inserted it diagonally into the ground. As for its owner, he has already run without a trace. Although the ice knife can be automatically tracked, it also has a certain range. Once the target is out of the attack range, the ice knife turns around blindly. The ice and snow tyrant dispersed to maintain the energy of the ice knife. At this time, a chain flew from the depths of the cave and accurately wrapped the sword.

As soon as the chain was wrapped, he pulled the sword into the darkness of the cave. This is undoubtedly a shame for the ice and snow tyrant. The people of the murderer who killed him, but also went away. So the ice tyrant hissed angrily, which had a special meaning, which awakened other ice scale scorpions that were hibernating. So in the nest of the ice scale scorpion, pieces of seemingly rocky things were deformed one by one, and the disguised limbs unfolded and became a three-meter-long scorpion.

The ice scale scorpions received the signal from the cry of the ice and snow tyrant, and they rushed towards the position of the ice and snow tyrant. At this moment, they are soldiers who go to war, gathering into a blue-gray torrent pouring towards the exit under the surface of the mountains.

When the scorpion passed by him, the ice and snow tyrant also joined the torrent. The scorpions ran wildly, causing the cave to vibrate. When this vibration is transmitted to the ground, it brings dangerous signals to creatures living on the surface. A two-headed eagle perched on a dead tree first felt the vibration. They smelled dangerous signals, and the smell of the ice tyrant made them chill. So only the two-headed eagle soared to the sky and scattered feathers on the ground.

Then, more and more creatures feel the vibrations transmitted from the ground, which makes the mutant beasts flee first. But for a moment, a snow bag suddenly rose from the thick snowdrift, followed by an ice scale scorpion rushing out of the snow bag, bringing countless snow mud. After this ice scale scorpion, there is a torrent of gray-blue scorpions, which swarmed out from the exit of the nest and traced a smell in the air.

When the ice tyrant also came to the surface, the tyrant let out a hisss that shook the whole forest, like a demonstration or a warning.

The sound echoed in the forest, and when they heard the cry of the ice and snow tyrants, the weak mutable beasts could not even have the idea of escape, but only knew how to hide and tremble in their nests.

The earth is shaking, and the torrent of the scorpions pierce through the forest. Nothing dares to block the path of the scorpions. So in Betsy's telescope, the torrent rushed down the mountains almost unhindered. The telescope moved, and in the other direction of the scorpion, the lights of Mobstone Market were still bright. But soon, the scorpion will dim the lights there or become a fire that burns everything.

The cowboy put down his binoculars and looked at the figure shrouded in scarlet armor beside him: "I don't know how to thank you, respected red prince. It's just that I'm curious about why Grand Duke Magnia helped us. You know, we are far from friends?"

"I have my own plans, but I don't have to tell you anything. I know who your goal is, but other than this goal, I don't allow you to hit Adi Milly. Otherwise, my battle axe doesn't mind cutting off your heads!" With a cloak, the red prince turned around with an axe and strode to the depths of the forest.

Looking back, Bezi's face bloomed with a smile: "This trick is not very good at killing people with a knife, Lord Merlin."
