Chapter 522 Time II
A clean and steady palm was inserted into the frozen ice. With the movement of the palm, the ice was gradually opened, revealing some black charcoal residue inside. He grabbed such a handful of carbon slag and put it between his nose and smelled it, and even stretched out his tongue to gently touch the carbon slag. As the slightly bitter taste melts on the tip of the tongue, Zero already knows how many hours ago it was.
Next to Zero, Merlin stood with an axe. The red Grand Duke's solemn eyes passed by the backy mountain and asked in a low voice, "Have they ever rested here?"
"It can't be wrong. These coke are from 5 hours ago. And I also found something interesting over there. Zero stood up, and there were several open snowdrifts near him. One of the snowdrifts is scattered with the fur and bones of muters, and the other snowdrifts are stained with the blood of some creatures.
"I take the liberty to ask, what do Midra's bugs eat?" Ling picked up a piece of blood-stained fur and asked.
Merlin replied, "They can eat almost anything. But Midera is very picky. It only sucks the blood of food, which is a blood-sucking bug.
Zero's sight fell on another snowdrift, where there were some mummified corpses of mummies. The muscles of these corpses are all atrophied and their skin is gray. Obviously, Midera is not as simple as sucking blood. Correctly speaking, it will drain the life essence of food.
"Obviously, these Kaisers bugs don't like cooked food, so these foods are prepared for other companions." Zero kicked the coke carbon under his feet, and the head of a nearby bear: "Eat the whole bear at a time. If it's not a little too many of its companions, it's a high-level capable person. Judging from the messy traces of this resting place, it should be the latter. Dear Grand Duke, I don't know what you think?"
Merlin thought for a moment and sneered, "It should be those human beings who hit our Netheres Shield. At that time, I was really surprised when I saw that Midra had a secret contact with them."
"So do you know who the stipation behind these human beings is?"
"I don't know about this. At that time, I cooperated with them in order to kill you with their hands. Otherwise, I won't go with those dirty guys."
Ling smiled and said, "Let's go. Maybe we can surprise them at their next break."
"Can you predict their route?"
"It's not difficult." Zero said, "We have been chasing them for four or five days, and it is not difficult to determine the moving distance and time required from the place where they rest each time. As long as I have this information, I can probably predict where they will take their next rest. The question is who is faster.
"If it's speed, bed bugs have an advantage over us." Merlin said in a low voice.
Zero silently, with their foot strength, if they travel on the ground, they can advance about 400 kilometers a day. But in the mountains, due to the influence of the environment and climate, it is good to advance 100 kilometers a day. And Midera's side is absolutely faster than them because of flying insects.
"So we don't have much time, but the traces they left tell me that the physical strength of the red beetles is also limited. Every time we fly for four or five hours, we have to rest. If we want to be in front of them, I'm afraid we have to advance 24 hours a day to get ahead of them.
"Just like that, I have no problem with you..."
He said lightly, "Don't worry about me. My endurance won't be bad for anyone."
"That's good. I hope you won't be my burden!" Merlin snorted coldly.
The two stopped communicating, followed by a silent journey. When they were on their way, they didn't have any communication. Usually, Zero opens the way in front, followed by Merlin. This time was no exception. Zero ran silently on the snow in the mountains like a ghost, leaving only a faint shadow. The Red Grand Duke is like a flame. No matter how big the wind and snow on the mountain is, it can't be blown out.
Time passed by little by little, and Zero and Merlin were on their way, and Midra, Betsy and others were not. If Mount Turash is a competition field, then the end point is the mountain exit in the north. Whoever gets there first can gain the upper hand in this competition. And the key point is in time. Whoever takes the shortest time has a chance to win.
At sunset again, the red beetles began to fall. Betsy, who was sitting on one of the flying insects, opened her eyes from her falsely. Bezi has to admit that in the environment of Mount Turash, the red beetle is indeed the best means of transportation. Their thick shells can ensure that they will not be affected by strong winds at high altitude, while their powerful wings are guaranteed to fly at high altitudes.
But God opens one window and always closes the other.
Although the red beetles have the relatively rare flying ability of this era, their physical strength is only enough to support four to five hours of flight. And when carrying passengers on the back, this time will be reduced by about 20%. Flying in the strong wind at high altitude, their speed is only a poor dozen kilometers per hour, and they can't fly at night because of the eyesight of insects, so the team of insects can only advance about 150 kilometers every day.
At this speed, it will take them at least five days to fly out of the Turrash Mountains.
After three days of rest, Betsy and Pederfani have recovered a lot. Among them, the best condition is Pederfini, whose huge wound on the ventral side of her chest has basically healed, leaving only a light red scar. As for energy, it has returned to 80% of its peak, which is enough to cope with any war.
Bezi is not so lucky. His left arm is disabled, which is equivalent to losing about 20% of his combat strength. Fortunately, this did not cause his ability to regress, otherwise Bezi would die. However, the ashes spreader no longer has the previous calmness. Betsy, who has only recovered 60% or 70% of his energy, can only use another natural disaster, fire and rain, plus one or two disasters, and its power will decline slightly, which makes Betsy very depressed.
In addition to the two passengers, Betsy and Pederfini, there is also a third occupant in the Bugs. Betsy, the alien woman wrapped in a gray robe, has seen it. Before waiting for Bane and others to meet in the Zampes, he and Pedphne took action against the woman's team and had a big fight. Later, it was found that these Genians were mixed with Zero.
What Bezi didn't expect was that the so-called important person in Midera's mouth was this woman.
This made Bezi very regret. If he had known this, he should have taken it with all his strength when he met for the first time that day. Maybe he could take all the green into his pocket without blood.
It is naturally useless to regret now. The initiative has been taken by Midera, and Betsy and Pederfani can only play the role of thres now.
After all the flying insects fell, Betsy looked at the surrounding environment. This is a corner of the Turash Mountains. Stalagmites are rampant and the environment is complex. However, these stalagmites are not natural, but the fragile part of the rock has been eroded by the cold wind, and the rest is the hardest part of the rock. Betsy flicked his finger on a fundamental stalagmite, which vaguely showed the meaning of a golden stone, which showed that the strength of the stalagmite was comparable to steel, otherwise it could not be preserved.
This stalagmite forest is 100 meters high and diagonally points straight to the sky. The short one is also ten meters, with a thick upper tip and a thick lower part, such as a row of fangs. Flying insects are careful when descending to avoid hitting these natural stone teeth. After coming down from the flying worm, at least a dozen red beetles were taken care of by the woman wrapped in the gray robe, and Midra herself rested not far away.
That place is simply a forbidden place, and even Betsy and Pedphany can't get close to it easily. In addition to the worms responsible for guarding, the rest of the worms walk downstream towards the mountain, and they will find some hibernating mutatic beasts in the cracks of the mountain or in the dead wood. Some of them will be the food of Betsy, while others will be delicious meals of insects.
After dinner, they will spend the time in this stalagmite forest tonight. By dawn tomorrow, it will be the time to set off. Betsy is used to this rhythm of travel. He and Pedphne found a place far away from the bugs and could see what was going on their side.
Pederfini leaned against a thick stalagmite and looked sideways at Midra and said, "I don't trust these bugs."
"I'm the same, but in the current situation, we have no choice but to cooperate with them." Bezi said lightly.
"Have you ever thought that if it is true as the bedbug said, it has technology that can control biological thoughts? Then if we send it to the door like this, it is likely to be controlled by it and become its soldiers. Pederfini whispered.
"In fact, I doubt Midra can walk this mountain." Bezi sighed, and his meaning was obvious. If Midera can't even go out of this mountain and talks about returning to Kaisers, Pederphne's worries will become very far away.
The bloody queen frowned and said, "Do you mean the Red Grand Duke?"
"Yes, you saw it when you were in the storm fortress. Merlin also cares about that woman very much, otherwise she would not have been arrested. At that time, Bezi was attacked by ice wings, but he still calmly observed the changes in the square, so he knew that Melinda Midra took Ademili.
Pederfini was not as careful as he was. At that time, there were many changes in the storm fortress, and she did not notice this detail at all.
"The Red Grand Duke will definitely catch up with him, at that time..." Speaking of this, Bezi's face suddenly changed.
A sad red moonlight appeared on the horizon. At first, it was just an inconspicuous red light belt, but in a blink of an eye, it has roared and turned into a ten-meter-long curved moonlight. The red moonlight easily cut the roots of the stalagmites on the forward trajectory. These rocks, which are as hard as steel, are easily cut like butter before the moonlight, which shows how sharp the energy that makes up the crescent is so sharp that even with Pederphne's ability, she does not want to touch it easily.
Almost after Bezi's face changed, Pederfani immediately turned into a purgatory demon. Becoming an enchanting witch from purgatory, Pederfani snorted coldly. The anti-joint feet stepped on the ground, and the rocks were torn apart. The bloody queen had cut off halfway towards the moon, which made Bezi shake her head repeatedly.
After Yue Mang cut off dozens of stalagmites all the way, four red beetles fell from the sky. The flying insects bombarded a high-temperature fireball and landed on the moonlight, but there was no way to stop it from flying at all. If the moonlight does not change its flight orbit, its end point is Midra, the Bug King. So these Midra's guardian bugs turned red and rushed to the moonlight, intending to use their bodies to prevent the moonlight from advancing.
But they forgot that their shell was only a little harder than stalagmites. So the worm was like a moth rushing into the fire, but as soon as it hit the moonlight, it could not hold on for two seconds and cut it into two pieces. With insect blood flying, Pedphany fell from the sky. The bloody queen stepped on the moonlight and pressed hard. There was a muffled sound in the air, but finally pressed the moonlight on the ground. Finally, it disappeared into the ground, leaving only a crack ten meters long and unknown!
[I've been in a bad mood recently, and I'm not in a good state. Today's chapter is a little short, and everyone will watch it. In the past few days, I feel very irritable. There are all the reasons at work at home. I will adjust my mood as soon as possible and hope to get back to the previous **~~]
