Chapter 518 Confrontation
Half squatted on the snow, and his fingers gently brushed the edge of a footprint.
After Merlin captured Adimil, Ling followed him and left the storm fortress and chased the Red Grand Duke deep into the mountainside of Mount Turash all the way to here. He picked up the snow mud on the edge of his footprints and put it between his nose and smelled it. Suddenly, the faint smell in the mud penetrated into Zero's nose. Zero sniffed in the air, and there were at least dozens of different flavors in the air.
These flavors are indistinguishable by ordinary people. They are entangled and there is almost no difference. But this can't hide Zero's nose. As early as when he first entered the wilderness, he had learned to distinguish the taste of different prey in order to track his prey Zero. After having the ability, the senses are more sensitive. As long as he remembers a taste, it can be traced a hundred miles away.
When I took a breath so hard, the smell was immediately classified as zero. It is clear that the fishy smell of mud and wood, the smell of walking animals, and the freshness of running water. And among these many flavors, Zero finally found a flavor that matches Merlin. He followed the smell left in the air and continued to chase him. It was by this method that Merlin set a trap many times to attract zero, but he couldn't get rid of him.
After a moment, the sound of water came from the front. Zero drilled out a hard shrub like a steel spine, and there was a natural ice waterfall hanging between the mountain stream. Now the ice waterfall has begun to thaw, and many ice bamboo shoots have melted into water and flowed down, turning into a stream in low-lying areas and flowing down the mountain.
Merlin's smell disappeared near the ice waterfall, but his footprints appeared on the other side of the stream. Zero flashed through the stream and continued to chase the footprints, but after walking about 100 meters, even the footprints completely disappeared. In this way, Zero lost all the clues.
Zero frowned and carefully observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find a clue. But after searching around the neighborhood many times, he got nothing. It can be seen that when Merlin came here, he must have used some method to hide his own smell, and deliberately left footprints to lead Zero to continue moving forward, and then suddenly interrupted the array of suspicion, so that Zero could not guess his trace at this moment.
retreated to the stream, and Ling's eyes fell into the flowing stream. In the current environment, only the stream that keeps flowing down can get out of the smell. That is to say, Merlin used this stream to get rid of zero tracking.
Is the water flowing straight down?
Zero did not hesitate to drive along the stream and chased down the mountain.
After he left, a red figure appeared above the ice waterfall in the mountain stream. Grandpa Merlin, dressed in red armor, sneered and saw the distant figure. The mountain above the ice waterfall was invaded by a natural cave by the cold wind, and an ice curtain hung outside the cave became a natural shelter. Merlin crossed the ice curtain with an axe and entered the cave. In the cave, Ademili stood up straight and looked at Merlin.
Merlin leaned the flame ruling against the rock wall and said lightly, "It's beyond my expectation that you didn't inform him with any intention."
"Because I want to ask you personally, brave Lord Merlin, why did you do this?" Although Adimili has no fighting ability, her momentum is very high: "Tell me, did you take those who attacked us and Midera of the Bug Kingdom to take them to the storm fortress?"
"I only took those human beings there. As for Midra, I was quite surprised by its appearance." Merlin showed a thoughtful expression: "From this point of view, although Midera has formed an alliance with us and the Blackstone Temple, she has had a different heart, otherwise she would not have provoked those people."
"Never mind Midra, I just want to ask you why Grand Duke Merlin did this!" Adeemily asked.
Merlin suddenly raised her head and her eyes burst into electric eyes: "Everything is for my green capital, for the respected Lord Hammis. Adily, I can't let you bring that human back to Genia, the man named Zero, who must die here!"
Adeemily shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? Grand Duke Merlin, the son of the planet, was personally ordered by Lord Hammis to take him back. You are doing this against the meaning of the adults!"
"Even if you disobey the adult, I won't let you take him back. Otherwise, we will lose Lord Hammis. Merlin sighed gently, "Ademili, your talent in spiritual will is comparable to that of adults, so we all respect you. But you are still too young. There are some things you don't understand.
"I don't understand why you did this. But please believe me, Grand Duke, Zero will not be unfavorable to adults. Adeily said.
Merlin's chest fluctuated sharply, and her mood seemed to become too excited. About a second or two later, the Grand Duke calmed down and said in a calm voice, "Adimir, the key is not zero. But because of the great Hammes, after you left, I had a secret conversation with a large number of people. Although he didn't say it clearly, I could piece together a general idea from his words. The adult thought..."
At this time, Merlin suddenly turned his head and looked at the ice curtain outside the cave and grabbed it like lightning. The flame ruling leaning against the rock wall jumped back into the hands of the Grand Duke silently, and at the same time, the ice curtain burst.
Tens of thousands of broken ice bombarded Merlin under the traction of the shock wave. These usually fragile broken ices are now driven by the shock wave with full penetration, and even the ripe cowhide can be broken with one blow. Merlin did not dare to be careless. The flame ruling rotated like a wheel, blocking the broken ice while carefully pulling them to the other side of the cave, so as not to accidentally hurt Ademili.
After blocking this wave of attacks, the flame ruling was on the ground, and Merlin looked at the man in front of him with a solemn look.
The black hair fluttered slightly, like a burning black flame. Under the black hair is a pair of strange eyes, and the different-colored pupils of left black and right gold make him show his extraordinary charm. A man's facial features are as beautiful as a painting, but they do not give people a sense of weakness at all. Instead, under the exquisite appearance, there is a murderous opportunity that can make Merlin feel a needle-like pain.
His figure is slender, at least much slimmer than most human men known to Merlin. As we all know, strength is often proportional to the size of the body. For example, which of those abyss beasts is not a huge guy. The ice wings inhabiting the storm fortress are already slender, but their head and tail are nearly 500 meters long, not to mention other abyss metamorphic beasts.
As for human beings, people with huge physique are often representatives of violent aesthetics, even Merlin himself. With ninth-order strength, when he goes all out, he can even rise to nearly three meters in height.
And even in a normal state, he is much taller than the man in front of him. But in him, slenderness does not seem to mean weakness and weakness. On the body outlined by the close-fitting tactical suit, the muscles are uniform and moderate, almost perfect.
Under this seemingly slender body, there is a terrible explosive power. Uniform and moderate muscles not only provide them with full explosive power, but also reduce the load on the body and reduce the normal energy consumption. If you have to describe it, then this body is the most perfect human weapon Merlin has ever seen.
"Zero?" Merlin gently called out the man's name.
Zero "um" in response, his hand drooped, and he didn't even have a gun in his hand. But if necessary, Zero can shoot instantly like a magician. For him, this is no longer a technology, but just an instinct.
Terrible instinct!
When Grandpa Merlin looked at him, Zero was also not idle. The golden pupil of the right eye opened the ability of structural detection, and the imperceptible detection wave could fall on the Red Grand Duke. So Merlin fell into Zero's eyes and was structured into a three-dimensional model, and various data were generated accordingly.
Merlin's body structure is not much different from that of other Gegnaans. The fish-like head and the human-like body, but the lower limbs are more conducive to the running anti-joint feet. If you have to distinguish, it is the muscle strength of Grand Duke Merlin. Under the action of structural detection, zero obtains a set of data. Among them, the muscle strength of Grand Duke Merlin is exactly three times that of Baltimore.
That represents the basic defense, basic strength and explosive power of the Red Grand Duke. Most especially the heart of Merlin, which is not any biological tissue, but a crystalline container. There is no doubt that it is an energy crystal and also the energy center of the Grand Duke. It provides Merlin with continuous surging power, which is also the most important distinction from other Gegenians.
You should know that both Ademili and Baltimore are standard life forms. However, this energy crystal of Grand Duke Merlin made Zero smell a trace of biological weapons. This reminds Zero that Greendu Gnia should have been a biochemical kingdom created by the true king under Prosius. If followed by normal procedures, the real king Hamemis will produce biological weapons from the design drawings of the dark crown, rather than autonomous lives like Ademile or Baltimore.
The biggest difference between biological weapons and life is controllability and freedom of will. Both Ademili and Baltimore have autonomous consciousness, so they are life rather than biological weapons. As for Merlin in front of him, he also has an independent consciousness, but his body, at least part of his body, is obviously a model of biological weapons.
Zero can't help guessing that this so-called Red Grand Duke is actually a biological weapon created by Hammis, a biological weapon that retains his independent consciousness!
"Duke Merlin, I don't know why you took Miss Adimili. But as my important guide, I'm sorry that I want to take her away. Zero asked in a friendly tone, but the nerves that had been in a state of war did not relax for a moment.
There are no flaws.
Merlin thought so.
Zero broke into the ice and surprised him. Merlin didn't want the suspicious array he set up to be seen through so quickly. What's more, Zero may have known from the beginning that he was not in the downstream but upstream. His departure was just to show Merlin, and then turned back from the rear to find Merlin and Adimili's hiding place. This idea made the Grand Duke a little frustrated, but it just flashed away.
Merlin's ambition has long been sharpened to the extent that ordinary things are unshakable. Even if she seems to lose, she will not easily admit defeat.
He tightened the flame ruling in his hand and said lightly, "I don't look so generous. I want to take Ademili away. Please ask my old buddy first."
Zero's eyes fell on the flame ruling. Judging from this weapon, it is not difficult to judge that Grand Duke Merlin is a very brave melee. Moreover, the previous structural detection has told Zero that the power of the Grand Duke is only high or low. It is not difficult for him to come to a conclusion.
Merlin is probably three points smarter than the destroyer.
This is a difficult opponent.
But for zero, it's just an emotion. He will not retreat because of the strength of his opponent. If even Merlin doesn't dare to face it, how can he face Prohuus, a star beast that even Agradis can't completely destroy?
Merlin and Prosius are completely opponents of different magnitudes.
"I don't think you're going to fight here, do you?" Zero Ruo has something to say.
Merlin laughed and said, "I don't see that you are still a gentleman, so let's go out and fight. However, if you want an open environment that is more beneficial to you, I will correct your mistake.
"Then let me see the bravery of the Red Grand Duke." Zero does not say anything about Merlin's statement. He smiled faintly and then walked to the edge of the cave and jumped down.
I stepped on the surface of the smooth ice waterfall and slipped down like skating. When he was about to reach the ground, he jumped gently, and Zero had fallen to the side of the stream.
"Don't go away, Adimyli." Merlin ordered and jumped out of the cave at the same time.
The Red Grand Duke fell back to the opposite side of zero like a flame, and his feet wrapped in heavy armor even sank into the ground. When it was pulled up again, a piece of mud powder exploded on the ground one meter around him, forming a round shallow pit around Grand Duke Merlin.
is located on both sides of the stream, and neither Zero nor Merlin are in a hurry to take action. The power of the two was not released at the first time, but slowly condensed and kept climbing to the top. This is a hundred times more difficult than immediately opening the power, and the advantage of such a condensed power is that when it reaches the critical point, the power will be more powerful and knock down the opponent with a thunderous blow.
Obviously, both of them had the same idea. Unexpectedly, the other party's intention coincided with himself. In this way, the situation becomes more unpredictable.
At the moment when both of them were all focused on their opponents, suddenly, Zero seemed to have found something. He showed a slightly surprised expression without any movement, but his eyes turned to the left with a very small margin.
is such a subtle action, but it is the biggest flaw in Merlin's eyes. Grand Duke Merlin shouted loudly, and his power climbed to the peak in an instant. His whole body emitted a halo of energy, and the flame ruling went forward, as if a tomahawk was dragging the grand duke's body, and Merlin rushed straight towards zero like a flame.
He finally found a way to take action!
