[Starting to resume the normal update volume today, I beg you by the way, please support the genuine version, thank you! ]

From the outside, the forest that stretches for hundreds of miles on the Zambes Mountains is deadly silent.

Vitality lurks in the snow and deep in the forest.

In just a few decades, cedar trees and ferns that have evolved and mutated in order to adapt to the environment have allowed their roots to grow deeper and longer in order to absorb water from below the surface. Compared with the harsh surface environment, the underground world is relatively warmer, and the thin but never-dried groundwater provides space for these abnormal plants to survive.

As for living things, they have their own unique way of living. Starting Warlord 496

Times are changing, and the world is changing. Only by changing themselves, evolving themselves, and optimizing genes can organisms continue to survive in this cruel environment. The living creatures have their own way of survival. In this vast forest, there are thousands of species living in the same way.

Among them, the laziest way of survival is the Ice Scale Scorpion. This scorpion that lives deep in the forest is usually nearly three meters long, and their body is covered with thick ice armor like an exoskeleton. These armors make the giant scorpion skin rough and thick, and ordinary rifles can only leave rows of bullet marks on them. Ice scale scorpions also have two scorpion claws, but their two scorpion claws grow very disproportionately.

The scorpion claw on the left is as big as a cart, but the scorpion claw on the right is very small. Therefore, when ice scale scorpions attack their prey, they usually use their powerful left claws. Of course, as scorpions, they also possess a deadly stinger. It's just different from the attack method of an ordinary scorpion in which a poisonous stinger is inserted into the prey object and then injected with venom. The sting of the ice scale scorpion is actually a high [pressure] water gun. It is pressurized through a special organ in the tail. The ice scale scorpion can squirt from the small holes of the sting the cold body fluid that is enough to make conventional creatures freeze instantly.

The body fluid sprayed by the adult ice scale scorpion sting is as far as ten meters, and the water pressure is very high during spraying, making the body fluid sprayed like a water arrow, which can easily penetrate through rocks, and of course, it can cut away those prey that are not strong. Body out.

It's just that this ice scale scorpion, which makes other creatures feel terrified, will often hibernate in their own lair. In a year, less than a month is the period when they prey and reproduce. If not, I am afraid that the ice scale scorpion has already become the overlord of the forest. Because of this, they are well-deserved big slackers in the forest.

The nests of ice-scale scorpions are mostly located in natural caves tens of meters below the surface. They are isolated from the cold on the ground and become a natural hotbed for ice-scale scorpions to hibernate. When they hibernate, they shrink their scorpion claws and tail spines, disguising themselves as blocks of ice and rock. In fact, their blue-gray armor makes the scorpions look like rocks.

If a creature with a small eye passes by the scorpion carelessly, the ice-scale scorpion doesn't mind catching the food that it hits the door. After a full meal, these lazy guys will continue to sleep until the mating period comes.

There are only four to five hundred ice-scale scorpions hiding in underground caves, but for this huge abnormal creature, this is already a not small group. As the king of this race, the Snow Tyrant is usually in a state of light sleep. It is not only the king of the scorpion group, but also the most powerful guard, so as to protect its race from hibernation or breeding period.

The Ice Tyrant is the strongest of all scorpions. Its strength is not only reflected in its huge body that is ten meters long and wide, but also in its ice armor, which is much more complex and heavier than ordinary scorpions. The thickness of the armor on the ice tyrant is the crown of the whole family. And unlike the scale armor of other scorpions, the ice tyrant has sharp ice thorns in many parts, which makes it look very uncomfortable.

In fact, the same is true. In addition to the common attack methods of the Ice Scale Scorpion, the Ice Tyrant also possesses the ability of the Ice Element, which is also its capital to defend the race.

The underground cave is warm and humid, which is the favorite environment of the ice tyrants. It is disguising itself as a huge rock. In hibernation, its breathing and heartbeat drop to a frequency of three to five times per hour. This greatly reduces the speed of blood circulation in the body, while also saving physical energy and energy consumption. But in this state, certain senses of the Snow Tyrant are still keen.

For example, it has a flat abdomen close to the ground, and its body covered by heavy ice armor has several special muscle groups. They are very sensitive to shocks. Once a creature approaches the scorpion's lair, the ice tyrant will know about it and react to it for the first time.

At this moment, it suddenly felt an unusual shock when it was sleeping. The magnitude of the vibration was not large, but it was enough to arouse its vigilance. So the Ice Tyrant came back from his deep sleep, and first lit up two faint blue lights in the black gap between the stomach. Following the camouflaged huge rock, cracks appeared, and then the appearance of the huge rock began to deform.

A giant claw opened from the front. The left claw, much larger than other ice scale scorpions, resembled the bucket of a forklift. When it hit the ground, it shook the cave slightly. Following the right claw and tail thorns, three pairs of worm limbs covered with bristles were stretched out from under the flat plastron. The feet were stretched flat and flexed, supporting the ice tyrant's ten-meter-long body.

After turning from a huge rock to a big bug, the ice tyrant flew towards the source of the vibration. It seems clumsy, but it moves silently and is extremely flexible. Even if there are as many ice scale scorpions hibernating in the cave, the ice tyrant can always pass by them without alarming them. After passing through the natural cave used as a nest, the Snow Tyrant entered a complicated underground branch.

This is the periphery of the nest, but also a maze. The natural karst caves staggered past, making the terrain here complex enough to confuse the creatures who came here for the first time, and it is also a natural line of defense for the ice scale scorpion nest. Naturally, the ice tyrant is very familiar with the terrain here, as soon as it enters the maze, it does not stop towards the source of the vibration.

There was a dangerous smell in the air, and another pantothenic smell came quietly. This made the Ice Tyrant very angry, because the smell was exactly the smell of the blood of the Ice Scale Scorpion. In other words, something is hunting its people near the lair. The speed of the snow tyrant under the anger increased sharply, and the complicated terrain appeared flat in its eyes.

The smell of scorpion blood began to become rich, and the closer it was, the more irritable the Ice Tyrant's heart became. In the end, the corpse of an ice scale scorpion appeared in its eyes. This adult scorpion, its corpse turned over, and the spur from the head to the tail was almost cut open by something, causing internal organs and blood to flow all the way. The Ice and Snow Tyrant let out an angry neigh and continued to move forward. It saw the corpses of several tribe members one after another.

These corpses were fatal by one blow, and the wounds were so huge that they were eye-catching. Obviously, the Ice Tyrant was not interested in studying the killer's ability and power from the corpse. Now it only wants to tear up the guy who dared to kill its people, no matter what kind of creature it is. Soon, the Ice Tyrant saw a figure called a giant from a distance. Starting Warlord 496

It was a figure from the back, what the humanoid creature held up. A dark red light lit up in the cave, and finally another ice scale scorpion writhed on the ground, and gradually lost its sound.

The Ice Tyrant made a sharp cry, shaking the entire cave slightly. Its three pairs of legs seemed to be sliding on ice, and with one stroke of force, it held its huge body and pressed it towards the murderer. Seeing that he was about to approach the murderer, the left claw like a forklift truck swept away, breaking several stalagmites in the air, and falling onto the murderer with the might of the mountains.

The giant turned around and used a large dark red sword as a shield to block the earth-shattering blow of the Snow Tyrant. With the giant's nearly five-meter-high body, the tyrant's left claw was also swept to make his footing unstable, and he flew out to the other side. After breaking ten or so stalagmites, the giant smashed into a rock wall before stopping himself.

It shook its head and stood up, the one eye on that head was full of war spirits. The giant waved his four hands, and there was something like a meat tube behind his shoulders emitting hot smoke, and he flew up with it, taking a step of ten meters!

The Ice Tyrant does not show weakness, it is like a heavy tank. The chariot turned the front of it, and then drove its wagon towards the giant.

The two behemoths met halfway and slammed into each other. At the moment of the collision, a violent storm was released, which caused both to retreat a few steps in the opposite direction.

Boom! Boom! The giant stepped on large tracts of rocks before stopping, then turned back and rushed. He used the dark red big sword in his hand as a warhammer and struck him desperately on the ice tyrant. Facing the crazy attacks of the giants, the ice tyrant used his left claw to block from time to time, rubbing brilliant sparks with the big sword. During the fight, the giant had a sudden pain in his feet. Looking down, it was a sharp ice skate that plunged into its sole at some point.

The giant pulled up his big feet, bypassed the ice skates and continued to attack the ice tyrant. Unexpectedly, the ice skates were wobbly on the ground like a living thing, and followed the giant with a faint smoke. Then the second and third ice skates are spawned on the ground. They staggered across the ground, and swept toward the giant like the dorsal fin of a bloodthirsty shark in the deep sea.

In fact, this is one of the abilities of the Ice Tyrant. Generate sharp ice skates that automatically track targets, which can interfere with guerrilla warfare. Once the opponent ignores these icy fangs on the ground, the result is often cut into pieces by ice skates.

Under the interference of the ice skates, the giant couldn't let go and attack like before. It had to be careful not to be cut off by the ice skates on the ground, and it had to pay attention to the attacks of the Ice Tyrant, and it suddenly became a little frantic. In the end, the giant screamed and smashed the big sword at the Ice Tyrant like an axe, but the man turned back and sprinted.

The Ice Tyrant blocked the big sword with his left claw, and the big sword slanted into the ground after wiping out a spark. As for its owner, he has already run away without a trace. Although ice skates can track automatically, they also have a certain range. Once the target is out of the attack range, the ice skates turn around blindly. The ice tyrant dispersed to maintain the energy of the ice blades, and at this time an iron chain flew from the depths of the cavern to entangle the big sword accurately.

As soon as the chain was tangled, the sword was pulled into the darkness of the cave. This is undoubtedly a shame to the ice tyrant, and the people who killed it by the murderer did not say it, but went away. So the ice tyrant hissed angrily. This cry had a special meaning, and it awakened the other ice scale scorpions that were hibernating. So in the ice-scale scorpion's nest, the rock-like objects deformed one by one, and the disguised limbs stretched out to become a large scorpion only three meters long.

The ice scale scorpions received the signal from the cry of the ice tyrant, and they rushed towards the position of the ice tyrant. At this moment, they were the soldiers who were fighting, and they gathered into a blue-gray torrent and rushed towards the exit under the surface of the mountain.

When the scorpion group passed by his side, the ice tyrant also joined the torrent. The scorpions ran wildly, causing the cavern to vibrate constantly. When this vibration was transmitted to the ground, it sent a dangerous signal to the creatures living on the surface. The two-headed eagles perched on the dead tree first felt the shock. They smelled the danger signal, and the smell of the ice tyrant made them frightened. So only a two-headed eagle rose into the sky, scattered all over its feathers.

Immediately afterwards, more and more creatures felt the vibration constantly transmitted from the underground, which made the mutant beasts rush to escape. But for a moment, a snow pack suddenly formed from the thick snowdrift, followed by an ice scale scorpion rushing out of the snow pack, bringing up countless amounts of slush. Behind this ice scale scorpion was a torrent of gray-blue scorpions, which swarmed from the exit of the nest and followed a certain smell in the air.

When the snow tyrant also came to the surface, the tyrant uttered a neigh that shook the entire forest, like a demonstration ~lightnovelpub.net~ or a warning.

The sound reverberated in the forest. Hearing the cry of the Ice Tyrant, the weak mutant beasts could not even have the idea of ​​running away, they only knew how to hide and shiver in their lair.

The earth was shaking, and the torrent of scorpions pierced through the forest. Nothing dared to stand in the way of the scorpions. So in Betsy's telescope, the torrent rushed down the mountain almost without any hindrance. The telescope was moving, and in the other direction of the scorpion, the lights of Mobistone Market were still bright. But soon, the scorpion will dim the lights there, or become a fire that burns everything.

The cowboy put down his binoculars and looked at the figure shrouded in scarlet heavy armor beside him: "I don't know how to thank you, Dear Red Duke. It’s just that I’m very curious about why the Red Duke of Gregnia will help us. . You know, we are far from being friends?"

"I have my own plan, but I don't need to tell you anything. I know who your goal is, but apart from this goal, I don't allow you to hit Ademili's idea. Otherwise, my battle axe won't mind cutting you off. His head!" With a flick of his cloak, the red grand prince turned around and strode towards the depths of the forest.

Looking back, a smile appeared on Betsy's face: "This trick is not very clever to use a knife to kill, Master Merlin."
