Chapter 129 Athesa

Zero followed the indigenous people to a natural valley in Death Ridge.

Here, the vegetation is also full of vitality, but it is less demonic than those mutated plants outside. Zero walks along the path and is sure that they are just ordinary plants. Except for being able to bring rich oxygen to the valley during the day, they will not be very aggressive.

There is a small pool in the middle of the valley, which is only about ten meters long and wide. The pool is covered with water scales, and there are fully armed indigenous people guarding by the pool. Obviously, this pool is very important to them.

The pond is surrounded by wooden houses built with it as the center. However, these wooden layers are built on a large tree with staggered roots. The wooden house is simple in structure and rough in style, but it has its own primitive and natural taste.

The whole indigenous tribe has more than 30 such wooden houses. It is estimated that the population of this tribe is at least 100. It's not a big tribe, but the number of people is not small. When raw faces like Zero and Moni entered the valley, they attracted the attention of other indigenous people.

The misunderstanding between Zero and the female indigenous woman was not relieved until the arrival of the prophet named Gutner. Obviously, regardless of race or knowledge, Gutner does not belong to this tribe called the Semites by the prophet. The obvious white race distinguishes Gutner from these dark-skinned indigenous people. Under Gutner's explanation, Zero only knew that the clean water in his mouth was the source of life as the Semites said.

And the source of life regarded as a treasure by the Semites is actually the pool water in the valley.

Gutner was originally a geographer and explorer. In an expedition ten years ago, he and the expedition were in distress. The whole team died in this forbidden place except him, and Gutner was lucky to be saved by the Semites. It is not appropriate to say that it is a rescue. For the Semites, Gutner, who was dizzy at that time, was delicious food.

But when Gutner woke up, he used his advanced knowledge to shock the Semites, so he was regarded as a prophet by the Semitic patriarch. Gutner also liked this simple and simple native, so he stayed and brought a little more chips to the survival of the Semitic people with his knowledge.

In the foundation, Gutner's greatest contribution is to find this groundwater, which is called the source of life by the Semites. This is also due to Gutner's own rich geographical knowledge. In an area full of radiation sources, such as Death Ridge, finding a water source within an acceptable range of pollution can only be described as a miracle. You should know that the water needed by the Semitic people to survive in the past is either to drink the blood of the mutant beast directly, or to dig out the plant roots with sufficient water and squeeze out sap from it to serve as a water source. But either method is extremely dangerous, so the average life expectancy of each Semitic is about 20 years old.

Until Gutner found this water source, few Semites have died from lack of water in the past decade.

But the water source is not very sufficient. Except for the small amount of groundwater, the water quality can only be maintained for about a day because of the ubiquitous radiation on Death Ridge. It can be said that the existence of the source of life only takes the Semitic people away from wandering on the line of life and death every day. And in this jungle, there is a shortage of water for deadly elements.

Every wooden house in the valley is lit with torches as lighting, and there is a bonfire near the source of life illuminating the surrounding space. This is the most primitive lighting. After getting used to the world full of light sources in the new era, walking into such a tribe, there is a sense of trance. It's as if time goes back to the old era, and it's a relatively old era.

But the faint blue electric fire in Goonat's own wooden house reminded Zero that he was still in a turbulent era of crisis everywhere.

After sending some zero people to the prophet's wooden house, the female Semitic talent and other guards dispersed. As for the injured indigenous people, they were taken to the witch doctors in the clan for help, and the bodies of the shield snake were also transported back. The shield snake's layer of scales that can't even penetrate M500 can be pierced. Goonat let people get it out. Combined with some oak fiber, it can make a soft stomach with amazing defense.

This is another contribution of Gunat to the Semites. Although he is not a master of weapons, his years of exploration experience have exposed Gonet to various levels of knowledge. Even the wheel saw used by the woman was designed by Goonat and went to Phoenix in person, which was made by the goldsmith in the city according to his design drawings.

In the prophet's room, Zero saw an oval vessel. Four or five strange flowers floated in the vessel. These small flowers with five petals reveal faint blue light marks from the veins. The whole flower emits a blue and white halo, which illuminates the whole wooden house. But Zero knows that their role is not just lighting, because zero feels strong radiation on them.

It's just that the material of the vessel containing the blue flower must be encrypted ★ to minimize the overflow of radioactive substances contained in the blue flower.

"Go anywhere, but don't touch that thing." Gunat pointed to the oval container and said, "That's the Death Flower. Have you heard of it? Yes, it is the strongest radiation source in the whole Death Ridge. Believe me, ordinary people can say goodbye to the world in 5 minutes as long as they come into contact with it directly. Although the world is not worth remembering at all..."

Gunat said, pouring two bowls of water for Zero and Moni, as well as some air-dried, unknown beast meat.

While watching Zero eating, Goonat kept asking Zero some questions about the outside world. It can be seen that the old man has been isolated from the outside world for too long, and he can't think of any reason why he is willing to stay in this backward and dangerous place.

In Goonat's near-ending problem, Moni didn't know when she fell asleep. The prophet asked Zero to take Moni to sleep in a corner of the wooden house, but he held a magnifying glass and studied Colt as if he were looking at rare treasures.

Zero did not disturb him, so he went to the door and looked at the quiet world outside.

It was already a late-night moment. Except for the guard of the source of life, the rest of the Semites fell asleep. But in an open space near the source of life, there is a graceful figure jumping up and down.

is the black girl who almost attacked zero. She keeps making various attacks on the open ground with a wheel saw. From afar, she is like an elf dancing in the night, full of dreamy feelings.

"That child's name is Atessa." Gunat's voice came from behind him. He didn't look back, but he seemed to know who Zero saw.

It seems that this girl named Ataisha practices these killing skills every night. Zero thought, just observing from afar, but from Athessa's light movements and the occasional attack posture that can be done far beyond the limits of human energy, Zero is sure that the girl must have achieved something in the fighting field. Judging from the wave-like silver light flowing on the surface of the murderer when she danced the wheel saw, Artessa was also involved in the elemental domain.

Usually, it has the ability of two different fields at the same time, which is called wide-area mastery. And people with wide-area proficiency are either mediocrity or genius. After all, no one can develop the ability in the whole field, and the potential of human beings is limited. Those who want to develop global capabilities are purely greedy and devouring elephants. In the end, they will only be in vain.

The higher the ability, the more focused you are on developing the field you are good at. Wide-area proficientists are nothing more than the ability to major in a certain field, while the ability in other fields is only used as an auxiliary.

Zero is also a wide-area proficient, and his current ability has involved fighting domain, perception domain and element domain. However, Zero is not intended to invest in the time of automatically generated bullets and the fire elements absorbed from Sauron. The reason is very simple. The agile strengthening of the fighting field can give full play to Zero's best shooting art. Instead of developing the element field that he is not good at, he prefers to invest his evolution point in agile reinforcement.

Of course, with an in-depth understanding of the world of powers, Zero also understands that agile reinforcement is not a very powerful ability. On the contrary, it is a very common auxiliary ability. Therefore, zero investment in it is also limited to the early stage. Now, Zero is not ready to invest blindly in any existing ability until he finds a more powerful ability that suits him.

And he is also a wide-area capable person. Unsurprisingly, Atessa has at least the ability to master cold weapons, low-level power and agility enhancement, as well as mastery of unknown light elements. This is the judgment made after observing her and being able to have these abilities. For a backward tribe, Athesha's potential is already very good.

The most important thing is that she is still young.

And young, representing an infinite future!

"She is my favorite child and the pride of the Semites." Gunat still didn't intend to put down Colt, but while observing the sniper gun, he said, "Do you know what the name Atesa means? In the language of the Semites, it means the daughter of the moon, and the Semites worship the moon god, so you see, Athesa is so respected in this tribe that even I, an old man in the name of a prophet, is no less.

"Daughter of the Moon?"

Zero said this word full of ancient flavor when he said the last word. Atessa in the distance just stopped the deadly dance. She seemed to be sensitive and looked towards zero.

The night can't hide the light in Athesha's eyes. It's like the moon, frost all over the sky!
