  Zero nodded, "He has been hanging behind us ever since we left the Pavaric."

  "Who could it be?" The young girl asked doubtfully.

  "Who knows. Maybe Chalod sent them to monitor us. Or perhaps, they are the troops from other areas. " Zero said.

  Yoru asked seriously: Do we need to clear it?

  "It is not appropriate now, and the purpose is not clear. If we make a move, I'm afraid it will affect the whole plan. Demarcate the cordon and pretend we can't see them as long as they don't come in. " Zero laughed.

  Of course, the 'zero point' security line did not refer to a physical object, but to the aura left behind by a capable person. Yoru jumped off the Overlord Snail, and quickly ran around the caravan, leaving behind his own faint aura. This aura was the cordon, it was used to warn the powerhouses outside the cordon, once they entered the area they would be treated as a provocation.

  A kilometer away from the caravan, Jin put down his binoculars, squatted behind a huge boulder covered in snow and said, "They've found us."

  "That's not surprising. Wanderers are assassins in the dark. And that girl, she must be a similar profession." Alice sat on the snowy ground and was chewing on a piece of chocolate. "That girl's scent is very faint, it's impossible to determine her occupation from her specific aura. However, my intuition should not be wrong. "

  "Instinct again." Jin scratched his head and asked, "So, should we follow them?"

  "Why not? They spotted us but didn't call us directly. This meant that there were two possibilities. One of them didn't have enough ability and wasn't willing to act rashly. Secondly, they are unable to determine whether we are an enemy or a friend. In this way, it can be inferred that Zero's camp is not so harmonious. "No matter which possibility it is, it will still be beneficial to us." In the blink of an eye, Alice had already destroyed a piece of chocolate, and used her sharp tongue to scan her lips. Without a doubt, this action was very sexy, but other than Jin, no one else came to appreciate it.

  After listening to Alice's analysis, Jin looked at her beautiful companion in surprise. Alice tapped the amount on his forehead and said: "You still have a lot of things to learn, brat."

  Thus, Jin's soft voice of protest came from the snowy plains, "I am not a little kid!"

  "If he's not a little kid, why wouldn't he dare to go to elder sister's bed?"

  Jin Li was immediately at a loss for words.

  Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Under the orders of the old man, the caravan continued on its way. But this time, the caravan didn't approach the snowy plains. Instead, they leaned towards the silverfrost dense forest and entered the boundless forest an hour later. After entering the forest, he found himself in another world. At a glance, all he could see were towering ancient trees and rolling mountains. The geographical environment here is quite complicated, so it is really not suitable for traffic.

  From the moment they entered the forest, Zero was silently recording the geography and environment of the route they had taken. This kind of complex and ever-changing environment was hard to defend against. Coupled with the fact that outsiders were not familiar with the environment of the forest, it was very easy for them to be ambushed. As he gazed at the complicated forest, he frowned. In this kind of environment, even if the Three Wealthy Classes army were to oppress the land, it would still be difficult for them to take advantage of it.

  If he wanted to take down the Bidis City, he would have to find another way.

  silverfrost dense forest was clearly more "lively" than the snowy plains outside. When the caravan passed by, they saw a bump on the snow, followed by a rabbit the size of a dog sticking its head out of the snow. These were the silverfrost dense forest's specialty, the "Counterfeiters". They had the appearance of a harmless rabbit, but of course, their bodies were much bigger than the rabbits of the old era. But in reality, this was an evil beast wearing a rabbit's coat. After deceiving its prey with its harmless appearance, the body of the camouflage expert would undergo a certain degree of metamorphosis. They grow fangs under their coats, spread their short flying wings, and large heads shaped like cats and tigers.

  In addition to the camouflage, there was one that looked like a leopard, but had a fluffy, broad tail. When he attacked, the edge of the tail would grow a spinning corner knife that could easily tear through metal. This kind of metamorph shaped like a leopard cat with a long tail and a deadly weapon was called reaper by the residents of Pavaric.

  In this huge forest, the camouflage expert and the reaper were considered to be smaller sized metamorph s. Old Rob told Ling and Yoru that there were a few more of the similar kind of metamorph living in the depths of silverfrost dense forest. They looked like human bears. They could walk upright, but they had two ugly heads. These monsters ate humans, so they were called two-headed ogres.

  Of course, in the metamorph's recipe, humans were considered to be the more widespread food. But most metamorph eat humans, but also eat other wild beasts. But the Two-headed Ogre was different. It specialized in eating humans, and would occasionally attack Pavaric. In their race, there were also some mutated ogres. At first, these mutated ogres were no different from their own kind, and sometimes, the hungry and mad ogres would bite each other's heads. However, if the Ogre devoured its own head, its intelligence would increase and it would also understand the power of the Essence Su.

  This kind of Ogre was able to control the lowest level of elemental energy from Su, but it was already an important figure in the clan. They were called Priests. Priests were far more destructive than normal Ogres, but out of a hundred of them, there was not even a single one.

  Twenty years ago, the Pavaric back then was not at his current scale. At that time, the Ogres would attack Border Town once or twice a year, and only then would the town have to pay a heavy price to repel the demons that lived in the silverfrost dense forest. Until they established a trade relationship with the Bidis City, these pagans became a buffer zone between the Ogre and Pavaric.

  During these years, the Bidis City helped the Pavaric stop the Ogre Tribes from attacking again and again, and forced the Ogre Tribes to migrate to other places five years ago. This ensured the safety of the Pavaric.

  However, when Zero asked about the foreign races that lived in the Bidis City, Old Rob intentionally kept them in suspense, saying only, "We'll know when we get there." In all sorts of guesses, Zero had spent the afternoon doing nothing. This might be the most leisurely afternoon after he woke up from the wilderness, but following the instructions from the old Rob, Zero knew that the Bidis City was about to arrive.

  This was a relatively flat piece of land in the silverfrost dense forest. As Su Yun sat on the Overlord Snail and looked at it, she could see that the slope was slightly sloping, but it could still be considered flat overall. Ancient trees stood tall, their thick trunks like chimneys pointing towards the sky. The leaves of the ancient trees fell back, making them appear bald, but in the spring, they would sprout and sprout new leaves, showing their incomparable vitality to the cruel world.

  Indeed, with hundreds of huge ancient tree trunks lined up in a formation, it was a spectacular sight, but no matter how one looked at it, they could not tell where the entrance to Bidis City was. Old Rob seemed to know what Zero was thinking at the moment. The old man gave a wry laugh and fished out a strange bone from his bosom.

  The bone was hooked and hollow in the middle, like a whistle. However, the old man held it in his mouth and blew, but no sound came out. After pondering for a bit, he knew that it wasn't because there was no sound, but because the bone whistle had a unique structure and could blow at a frequency that humans couldn't detect. In other words, the Subterranean Clan could receive this frequency.

  The Bone Sentinel should be a gift from a foreign race to the Pavaric as a secret signal for every transaction. This was indeed a convenient method.

  After a moment, Zero could feel the ground slightly trembling, and the six-footed horses and two-headed dog
s became irritable. Even the leisurely Overlord Snail tried to shrink his fat body into a thick shell. After the tremors lasted for a few minutes, Zero saw an extremely thick ancient tree a hundred meters away. The trunk of the tree had moved away from the exit.

  This ancient tree had a cross section, which was around ten meters long. It was the thickest among these ancient trees. Now that he had opened up a space that was about five meters tall, it was like he had opened up a city gate.

  The city gate leading to the underground city.

  Su Yun was speechless. If she did not see it with her own eyes, who would have thought that the big door of the Bidis City to the outside world would be opened under an ancient tree? This kind of concealing skill could already be considered brilliant.

  At the entrance to the city, in the darkness of the passage, he saw the outline of a man, beckoning, and the old man ordered the caravan forward. Thus, the hunters chased the metamorph away, allowing them to drag the goods towards the exit. However, the metamorph were extremely afraid of that dark entrance and seemed very uneasy. Fortunately the hunters had taught them well, and it was not the first time these beasts had come to Bidis City. Therefore, although it appeared to be uneasy, it was still being driven towards the entrance by the hunters.

  Zero jumped down from the Overlord Snail and followed the Huntress's lead, driving the big guy who was carrying him all the way here. He adjusted his right eye and peeked into the tree hole. The next moment, a strange and beautiful life appeared in his eyes.

  This was a tall "woman." Indeed, it had a body similar to a human female's. Its upper body was that of a beautiful woman with long, slender hair and beautiful facial features. However, its eyes were grey and dull. It seemed that its eyeball had been degenerated by living underground for many years.

  Beneath that beautiful face was a pair of fiery breasts. The two towering peaks proudly stood in the cold winter, displaying their arrogance to the world. Beneath the towering mountain was a flat stomach, with an extremely beautiful waist. Unfortunately, there was no mysterious forest below his abdomen. Instead, it was covered with yellow serpent-like scales that extended backwards to form a long tail.

  This Subterranean Clan was very tall, although she had a distinct female characteristic, in terms of height, she was at least three meters tall. Perhaps due to their outer appearances, there were also people with strange sexual orientation in this chaotic era. Those people and women with special hobbies also copulate with those strange creatures with female characteristics. However, no one should be able to enjoy the gentleness of this three-meter tall snake girl.

  Chapter 393 - Well of the Abyss (III)

  What made Zero feel strange was that when faced with the Lamia that had such a 'sexual' feeling, all the men in the caravan lowered their heads, but no one was willing to take another look at her enchanting body. The Lamia seemed to have noticed Su Ming's gaze. Suddenly, a cross appeared on her beautiful face and a face opened up in different directions. When his face turned over, it was a terrifying mouth that emitted hissing sounds as if it was roaring at the air.

  At last, Zero understood the reason. Anyone who saw that one moment she was still a beautiful breast and the next moment she suddenly changed into an Alien would probably be scared stiff. It was no wonder why those men in the caravan did not notice the Lamia.

  Old Robert hurriedly said, "They don't like to be watched by others. That is equivalent to provocation. You better stop looking at it quickly."

  With that, the old man went forward again. Only then did the Lamia retract her mouth, returning back to those sweet and quiet faces. This strange life of beauty and ugliness made way for the caravan to pass by it and continue its journey underground.

  Zero already learned, he did not look at the Lamia anymore. Lowering his head, he used a hood to cover half his face. Zero and the other hunters drove the Overlord Snail deeper into the tree hole. After entering the tree hole, there was a straight path downwards. When he walked in, he only felt that it was pitch black. Walking up to the small section, one would see glowing crystal mother or light algae and other things on the two sides of the stone wall. Not only did it provide lighting, it also embellished the subterranean world with its splendor like a sea of stars.

  The passage sloped downward, and after a distance of about 500 meters, he saw an arch. There were many vines coiled around the arch, but the center of the arch had been cleared away, and strange symbols made of glowing mica had been placed on it. These symbols were similar to human hieroglyphs, but each symbol seemed to contain more information.

  These symbols should be the words of the Bidis City. On the other hand, the foreign races that had created the written language could already imagine that they already possessed a high level of civilization, but they were far from the Els's kind of foreign tribes that had just formed their own language.

  Walking through the arch, a magnificent underground world appeared in Zero's eyes. For a moment, Zero suspected that he was seeing an illusion. He had also seen one or two underground cities, such as the Titan City in the wilderness near the coastline. Back then, when he had just entered the Titan City, he had already felt that the city was extremely spectacular.

  The subterranean race, this strange race of living beings had almost hollowed out the subterranean space which was about 5 kilometers long. There were thick pillars with a diameter of around 10 meters standing up, they acted as load-bearing pillars to ensure that the ground above did not collapse. On each stone pillar, there are all kinds of luminescent mica, light moss and so on. These things flickered continuously, emitting a hazy radiance that wrapped around the stone pillar, emitting a peculiar beauty.

  Below it was the majestic city. The structure of the Bidis City was a complex three-dimensional structure. It was not built on a flat surface, but on the basis of the rise and fall of the ground, or the direction of the rock stratum. This caused the structure of the entire city to be complicated. Coupled with the splendor of the mica, it made the city even more breathtaking.

  The buildings of the subterranean race were also completely different from that of humans. Their houses were more like giant eggs that were distributed to every corner of the city. And between the house and the house, there was a complicated but also connected channel. The channel and channel intersected each other, weaving into a dazzling traffic net. In the eyes of Su Yun, she was certain that the Bidis City was the most unfavorable environment for street fighting.

  If the enemy rashly rushed into the Bidis City, even if the army was several times larger than the foreign tribes, they would still be completely cut down by the complicated transportation network, and then harvested for the subterranean race who was familiar with the environment.

  However, he did not know if this traffic network was unintentional or not. If it was the latter, then this alien's wisdom could not be ignored.

  In the center of the city stood another huge statue. The statue looked very similar to the Lamia that was guiding the way. The only difference was that the statue had six arms and three faces that faced the middle and left sides. The statue must have been three hundred feet high, almost all the way through the three-dimensional city, the upper half of which Zero could see, and the lower half of which was just below the city's shadow, almost a part of the darkness.

  This statue had obvious female characteristics, so the subterranean race should be a mother race. As he speculated, and as the caravan went deeper into the Bidis City, he also saw more and more Subterranean Clan. The most common of these creatures was the nearly three meter tall Lamia. The snake-women formed groups of four or five, making their way through the complicated tunnels like patrolling soldiers.

  The patrolling Lamia held a lance. The lance was made of metal, but the tip of the lance was made out of energy. Judging from how the tip of the energy spear didn't move at all, the energy released by the spear maintained a relatively stable state. The Lamia held an energy spear in her hand. As she passed by, the tip of
the spear would flow with a faint stream of light.

  Other than the Lamia holding the spear, Zero also saw the male from subterranean race a moment later. The man was shorter than the woman, less than two meters, but as sturdy as a hill. They too were bare-chested, but their lower bodies were not snake-like, but scorpion-like limbs and torsos. These scorpion man carried a strange weapon in their hands. The front was sharp, while the back was perfectly round. The round part of the crystal was embedded with glowing crystals. Occasionally, a few streams of light would spill out from the crystals, quickly flowing through the objects and finally disappearing into the sharp end of the object.

  From the looks of it, this thing should be a long-range weapon. The only thing he did not know was how it worked.

  But looking at the energy spears and this kind of strange guns, the science and technology of the subterranean race far exceeded that of the Els. For example, energy-type weapons were considered high-end weapons of the new era even in the Asgard. However, in the Bidis City, it seemed to be the regular equipment for ordinary soldiers. It was just that they did not know how powerful these weapons were yet.

  Other than the Lamia scorpion man, there were also a few other Subterranean Clan s. Whether it was male or female, they were all short and ugly, but did not have a snake or a scorpion body. They were no different from humans, but each carried a lump of meat on its back like a pack. These Subterranean Clan should be ordinary residents, they did not have weapons on them, but carried all kinds of tools. With regards to climbing, they would use the tools on the giant egg-like houses and the steep cliffs to beat around the walls, as if they were workers perfecting the construction of the Bidis City.
