He asked again, "May I ask, what business do you have with Blue Radiance? "To tell you the truth, I have some connections. If you need help, feel free to ask."
This was another method used by Camber.
But the answer of 'Zero' made Camber unable to laugh anymore.
"I don't think it's necessary. I'm the one who killed people."
With these words, Ling Ming brought Moni to the side of the plane and set up her tent to rest.
Camber's smile froze on his face, and finally collapsed after a long while.
"A joke. Absolutely a joke. Those blue lights are all powerful figures. " The merchant comforted himself.
The next morning, the caravan continued their journey. Moni was sitting in Camber's SUV, this was a zero decision. In this way, the girl would not have to bounce on the locomotive with him. Although Moni didn't like the fat and fat merchant, as long as it was Zero, she wouldn't oppose it. To Moni, zero was her god.
Previously, Camber had even lecherously asked Zero what kind of person Moni was.
In this turbulent era, it was not unusual for a strong and young warrior like Zero to raise a young female slave. Camber was drooling down towards the delicate and beautiful Moni. If she was willing, Camber hoped to buy Moni from her hands.
However, his words made his heart sink to the bottom of the sea.
"She is my daughter, whoever dares to touch her will first ask about my gun." Zero had replied to Camber in such a cold manner.
Camber pointed to zeros, and then looked at Moni. Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't believe that a young Zero could have such a big daughter right now. But the hand that Zero had placed on the revolver at's waist made Camber obediently swallow this doubt into his stomach.
Until now, Moni was sitting right beside him. However, Camber was sitting right in front of him. The gaze of Zero, who was driving, turned his head back from time to time, was more effective than any kind of stern warning.
Moni was still a child after all, so after sitting in the carriage for a long time, she started to look around. What she was most interested in was the 'goods' behind the jeep. These goods were carried in a two-headed carriage. Walking on one of the carriages behind the jeep, the goods on board were bigger than the goods on the other carriages. It was a pity that the thick waterproof cloth blocked Moni's gaze.
However, it wasn't as if Moni didn't have the chance to see the whole picture, as a strong gust of wind blew from the end of the wilderness and lifted a corner of the waterproof cloth. Therefore, Moni saw a huge iron cage, with a huge figure lying inside. Seemingly feeling Moni's gaze, the thing opened its eyes. In the shadows, Moni saw a pair of grey eyes that were as straight as black lizards.
The waterproof cloth fell again, but Moni was still unable to retract her gaze.
From her glance just now, she had already seen clearly that the goods in the cage were a huge beast. His eyes were filled with wildness, savagery, and traces of undetectable sorrow.
"What's that?" Moni asked the first question after getting on the car.
"What?" Camber was suspicious at first, but after following Moni's line of sight to the huge cage behind him, the merchant laughed proudly: "That is my treasure, it is called Behemoth."
"Behemoth?" Moni recited the name that carried the color of the old era.
"That's the name I gave it. It's the strongest beast in the world in the Old Testament." Camber said beaming with joy, "Does Southwest Land know? That was a forbidden place for civilizations, and that was where Behemoth came from. It is a barbaric species of the Southwest Land, cruel and bloodthirsty, it especially likes to eat girls like you. "
Camber laughed, attempting to scare Moni.
Unexpectedly, Moni raised her small face and looked at the merchant stubbornly. On that face, Camber could not even see a trace of panic.
"Alright, I was just joking." The card raised its hand in surrender.
Moni looked back at the iron cage, and said with a voice so low that she could only hear: "Behemoth, you are the same as me, are you unable to find your way home?"
In the iron cage, the gigantic beast's ears twitched. That bell-like giant eyes rolled up, looking through the waterproof cloth at the silhouette of Moni. After a long while, he slowly closed his eyes again.
Chapter 86 - Titan City
When it was almost noon, the caravan finally arrived at their destination, the Titan City. Going down the winding road, past a few scattered ruins, they arrived at a radio station in another wilderness. If it were not for Camber, this seasoned businessman leading the way, Zero would never have thought that this empty place would actually be the entrance to an underground base.
If not for the fact that the current base was constructed underground using some of the equipment that could still be used in the City Ruins, it would have been like the Angry Reef City, and would have directly activated the surface cities of the old era. The Titan City was established directly in the wilderness, it was definitely a rare sight.
And this name, full of legend, piqued Zero's curiosity.
When the base confirmed Camber's identity, the base of the radio wave station slowly rose. Below it was a huge warehouse elevator, and it was extremely convenient to carry people and other goods. The caravan drove directly into the large elevator. Watching the elevator descend, the light and shadows intertwined, and Zero couldn't help but exclaim once again about the amazing talent humans had in creating things.
adventurer like Camber who traveled on the continent would usually have their own base of operations. For example, the Titan City was one of Camber's base of operations. For this reason, Camber would pay some fees to these bases every year in exchange for his safety in people and goods at the bases. In an era of turmoil, if one did not have such a base of operations, it would be difficult for the adventurer to conduct long-distance trading.
The merchants would also convert these fees into the value added of the goods, so they didn't mind paying a certain amount of protection fees to these bases.
When the elevator stopped with a slight vibration, the two steel doors slowly separated from the left and right. Thus, a surprising city appeared in front of him.
This base city that was established underground was not like the Remot that used alloy plates to seal up the primeval rock stratum, so as to create an underground city with a feeling of great future. Titan City had also excavated a huge underground space, but it showed that it could do any modern work or decoration. The underground city was presented to every visitor in its primitive form.
Extending from the warehouse elevator that was used to enter and leave the city, there was a winding road that led to the road below. The Titan City extended gradually in the form of terraced fields, and the spiked houses that carried the style of medieval Europe from old era were constructed on these terraced fields of rock platforms one after another. In the square at the bottom of the city, Zero even saw a Gothic church.
And the city's designer must be a romantic. On the four walls of the city, craftsmen used etching techniques to carve out four huge statues of Titan. These statues had their backs against the rocky layer above as they stretched out their arms with all they had. It looked as if they had used their own bodies and arms to prop up the city.
Such a magnificent picture of the city caused Zero's heart to be deeply shocked. "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." He was not the only one who was shocked, other than Moni, even Camber, a merchant who had experienced this in his middle years, was silently looking at this ancient and majestic city.
"You must be very touched." Camber said: "Only this city, and every single time I came here, I would be deeply moved by it. It was only here that I could temporarily forget about the cruelty and fear in the wilderness, as though I had returned to the old era. It is a pity that there is no sky and no sun here, otherwise this city would be everyone's Garden of Eden. "
For the first time, Zero felt that this potbellied
businessman was not that annoying. Perhaps in this great city they had found some common ground in their minds.
The caravan left the elevator and continued deeper into the city along the highway. As they passed through the residential areas of the city, many of the half-grown children happily followed the caravan. Some of them even had the guts to reach out their hands to pick up the waterproof cloth s on the wagon, while the "goods" in the cage ran away with a shriek.
As the road wound down, Zero could see the square at the bottom of the city.
The square was made of gray bricks and was divided into four areas by the cross path. In the center of the square, there was a circular fountain with a female statue standing in the middle. Camber said that it was the war goddess Athena. Although her tone was not very clear, it allowed Ling Ming to hear the valiant and aggressive people of the citizens of the Titan City.
"Fight!" All the men in this city are hotheads, and they enjoy fighting and fighting. All of these should be caused by the genes of their parents. According to what I know, there were many men who were capable of building the Titan City back then. And after three generations of reproduction, more than half of the children in the Titan City began to display their talent in the mutation domain at the age of ten. " When they were about to enter the hotel, Camber said to Su Tian: "So this city is almost filled with soldiers. At the age of ten, children begin to undergo brutal military training, and those who don't know their place are thrown out of the military camp to be ordinary civilians. You know, they call it Spartan education. "Hey, fuck Sparta."
The War God Hotel was one of the few hotels in the city. Camber's caravan stayed in this hotel. Camber commanded the labourers to carefully move the "goods" into the hotel's warehouse, and then ordered the labourers to gather the food for the cute goods. If they couldn't fill these metamorph's stomach in time, Camber might just throw them into the cage and feed them. This was not impossible under the guns of the Arctic Fox soldiers, so the labourers worked especially hard.
Zero was currently being hired by Camber for the time being, and was a senior employee like Captain Bart. Naturally, he did not have to do such menial work, and Camber even had to pay for the hotel. He and Moni shared a small room with an independent suite. Although there was only one bed in the room, to be able to have such an environment to rest during their journey was already considered luxurious.
Camber seemed to be planning to stay in the city for a few days. According to him, it seemed that he was going to hold a grand meeting in the Titan City. He didn't care about the details of the gathering, but he didn't mind staying in this magnificent city for two days. This place would become a part of his memories, memories that he would never be able to forget for the rest of his life.
Moni was also very curious about this city. After dinner, she decided to go shopping with Lara. Camber patted his chest as a guarantee. As long as Moni carries the crest of his caravan, the omnipresent Magistrate would ensure Moni's safety. Thus, after giving her dagger to Moni, the precocious girl slipped away from the inn.
But Zero did not know that Moni did not go shopping. Something in the warehouse seemed to attract her more than the city.
The ones guarding the goods were a few warriors from the Arctic Fox. They naturally recognized the girls who joined the caravan with Zero. These soldiers were not gentlemen, Moni's innocent appearance could easily awaken the beastly nature of these male animals. But they would also not forget that the man who called himself a girl's father could easily kill a wolf king from 1500 meters away.
The soldiers did not want their heads to suddenly blossom, so they could only look at Moni secretly, spitting saliva, but not daring to do anything to her. But at the same time, they wouldn't let Moni near the warehouse, what's more, the goods inside couldn't be called docile. However, Moni only used a sweet smile to fool these lecherous men.
After Moni assured them that she wouldn't stay in the warehouse for more than 10 minutes, they allowed the girl to enter the warehouse. Under the lights of the storage, the huge cage that held Behemoth was particularly eye-catching.
Chapter 87 - Beast trap
Separated by the waterproof cloth, the light inside the cage appeared dim and turbid. However, in this dim yellow light, there were grey beast eyes that lit up. Following that, a shock wave shot out from the prison.
The electric current buzzed for a moment before stabilizing and maintaining its claw-like shape. Behemoth then used the electric claw that jumped out from his fingertip and picked up a piece of meat that was placed on the metal plate in the cage. The Lightning Claw's high temperature immediately caused this piece of meat to quickly roast. Not long later, the burnt smell of meat wafted out from the cage.
Behemoth placed the meat in front of his nose and took a sniff, then the image of a Giant Steel Claw Rat appeared in his mind. The mutated giant rat lived underground for years, feeding on mud and rotting corpses. Their claws were harder than steel and sharper than sabers, so that the giant rats could move underground. However, the quality of their meat could not be considered fresh at all. After years of eating mudstones and corpses with radioactive substances, the giant rat's muscle fiber s had also brought along the corresponding violent poison, Su.
Of course, with the quality of Behemoth's body, this little bit of poison Su was not even in its eyes. It was just that the giant rat's meat still had a sour taste to it, making it lose its appetite.
Behemoth suddenly wanted to live a carefree life in his hometown.
Southwest Land, who was viewed as a forbidden ground in the eyes of humans, was a paradise for life in Behemoth's eyes. There, countless strong auras of life unknown to the human race permeated the mysterious land. Animals, plants, humanoids were everywhere. Before Elk Town was rebuilt, all life followed the principles of the jungle, living each day with difficulty but fulfillment.
However, after Elk Town was rebuilt, the frequent human activities caused many young lives, including Behemoth's, to be forbidden from entering the gray area. However, in the young life, their blood often had a rebellious factor flowing through it. Behemoth was no exception. As one of the valiant species in the Southwest Land, Behemoth, who was born with the power of lightning and thunder as his own weapon, did not place those seemingly weak humans in his eyes.
The beast that had committed the sin of arrogance had inadvertently entered the gray area during a hunt. But Behemoth did not immediately exit the buffer zone, planning to return to the depths of the earth. On the contrary, when he saw a group of humans appearing before his eyes, Behemoth suddenly wanted to change his taste.
So the conflict happened, the sudden appearance of Behemoth and his tyrannical power made this group of humans suffer. Their individual abilities weren't necessarily too great, but through coordination, they matched with a few tools that Behemoth had never seen before. In the end, at the price of 11 lives, it was captured alive.
After that, Behemoth was trapped in such a huge cage. Its hands and feet were shackled with steel needles, the needles piercing into Behemoth's body, straight into its joints. These few things caused Behemoth to only be able to carry out minor activities. If he moved it too violently, the steel needle that was pressing down on his bones and nerves would release high voltage current s, paralyzing its body's functions.
Behemoth could use lightning as a weapon, but his body might not have the ability to resist the high voltage current s. After a few futile attempts at resistance, Behemoth suddenly realised that he could no longer go back. As the little human girl had said during the day, even if he let him go, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.
Thinking about that, Behemoth's breathing suddenly became heavier. The dormant rage once again rose up in its heart. The huge beast let out a muffled roar, and it viciously smacked the giant rat's hand towards the cage. The sharp claws made of shock electricity clawed at the cage, creating a bright electric spark. However, other than hitting the cage until it trembled slightly, there was no sign of su
ccess.
This cage seemed simple, but the material it was made from was very special. Even if it was Behemoth's lightning claws, they would not leave a single scratch on the cage. However, the intense movement suppressed the steel needles inside his bones and blood. Following that, the high voltage current released 1500 V, causing Behemoth to scream miserably. At the same time, his huge body also fell heavily onto the bottom of the cage.
The high voltage current caused its reaction to become chaotic and slow. Therefore, an exclamation that came from outside the cage seemed to come from extremely far away to Behemoth's ears.
A corner of the waterproof cloth was suddenly lifted, and a young and tender face appeared in Behemoth's black vertical pupils.
Behemoth remembered this girl. It had met her during the day. If it were not for the sudden impulse to trigger the high voltage electricity that paralyzed his body, Behemoth swore that he would use his electric claws to tear this pretty face apart. It hated humans. No matter if it was that hateful big-bellied man or the fairy-like beautiful girl in front of him, as long as she was a human, Behemoth would definitely not like them.
Moni looked at Behemoth. This beast was extremely bizarre to her.
Behemoth had the head of a lion, but his body with its long mane belonged to the humanoid type. A pair of eagle wings extended from its back that covered its body. It was a pity that the enormous cage restricted its freedom, otherwise, Moni would be able to see its majestic posture soaring through the skies.
The beast should have been a king living freely in the jungle, not a being trapped in a cage.
Moni suddenly felt that her nose was a little sour. When she saw Behemoth in the day, she had felt that this beast had a lot in common with her. Now, the feeling was even stronger.
Seeing Behemoth twitch slightly, the beast eyes revealed a painful expression, but Moni did not realise it either, and stretched out her white arm, reaching into the cage.
