War Lord

Chapter 754: In hot pursuit

To the east of New Rome is a steep mountainous area. The hills here are ups and downs. The low ones are only 200 meters high, the tall ones can reach thousands, and a mountain on the east is more than 1,700 meters high. The peaks are sharp, piercing into the sky like a sharp blade, and looking from a distance, they are almost at the top of the dense radiation cloud that day, with a sense of endless bleakness.

That mountain is called the peak of doomsday.

Behind the peak of the doomsday is a barren forest with towering old trees. However, unlike the virgin forests of the old days, the ancient tree patterns here are intertwined, looking like twisted faces growing on the trees. They are randomly distributed, turning this forest into a natural labyrinth. It is winter now, the whole forest is covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and even the low shrubs give the radiant snow a stern attitude.

But if someone underestimates these bushes, then he is obviously wrong. In this age of evolution, both ancient trees and shrubs are no longer as harmless as before. Even the plants and trees in this forest cannot be taken lightly. Some scholars believe that today's forests already possess something similar to the will of the cluster. If you dig the soil of the forest, people will find that in the depths of the ground, the roots of plants are almost all connected to each other.

This state is like the online mode of the mental brain array, which allows the plants in the forest to share their feelings with each other and also promotes the emergence of the collective will.

Therefore, the entire forest is like a huge monster. They hibernate quietly, and at the same time, quietly prey.

This forest is also called the black forest because of the dark brown color of old trees and shrubs.

After the Black Forest, there are ruins of an old city. It is now dilapidated, but the outline of the city can still be seen roughly. Most of the densely populated buildings have been demolished. Either it was destroyed on the day of the cataclysm, or it collapsed after years of erosion by wind and snow. Many buildings broke down, exposing the complex space like honeycombs in the buildings.

Occasionally, we can see some weird figures moving in the building. The tall buildings are no longer owned by humans. They have been occupied by life in some new era.

The road is broken and broken. They are barely connected to the city, but this transportation network has long since collapsed.

A piece of ground in the east has already collapsed, exposing the subway tracks below. Under the cover of a large piece of rubble, a section of the subway car was exposed. ??Come. The carriage is closed, and a dead body can be seen through the window. It was the corpse of a boy. The water in the corpse had completely disappeared, but time had frozen the horrified expression on the boy's face forever.

On the other side of the city, connected to the outside world is a reinforced bridge. The bridge has been broken off, with traces of high-temperature burning on the fractured surface. I don't know that it has suffered complete damage. The broken bridge turned the city into an isolated city.

It can be said that the entire vast east land is basically no man's land, and only certain abnormal beasts will appear here.

For example, now this horned eagle is soaring over the dark forest.

Horned eagles are close relatives of vultures, and they look basically the same as their relatives. It's just that there is a unicorn on the head of the horned eagle, like the sharp horn of the legendary unicorn, but now it grows on an eagle. This is also the origin of the name of the horned eagle. Horned eagle is a metamorphic creature. In order to adapt to the environment of the new age, its body is much larger than that of a condor, with its wings spread up to five meters.

Its claws are strong and powerful, and it can easily catch several tons of prey, and it can also tear open the bark of that tough old tree. But its biggest weapon is actually the single horn on its head. This sharp horn is actually not long, less than ten centimeters. But its root is as thick as a child's fist, and although the top is tapered, if you look closer, you will find that it is not sharp.

The tip is actually a round convex structure composed of three pieces of bone. This makes the single horn not easy to break, and the thick root is more conducive to exerting force. It's just that the horn's attack method is a bit similar to the tail needle of a wasp. It launches the horn through a spray organ on the forehead of the horned eagle. Its instant kinetic energy is comparable to a sniper bomb, which can easily penetrate armor and leave fatal injuries on its prey.

The horned eagle hovered in the sky. There was a heavy snowfall not long ago, and the whole land and forest were white. However, the eyesight of the horned eagle has been strengthened digitally. They can capture the smallest changes on the ground, and no prey can escape its eyes. If there is prey.

Winter is the poorest season of food. Larger mutant beasts will spend this season in the form of hibernation. They will eat desperately in autumn to increase weight and fat, and then burn their own fat at the cost of hibernation. Fight against the cold winter. I have to say that some of the instincts left over from the creatures of the old age are quite useful.

It's a pity that the horned eagle does not have this skill, so it can only hunt before the next snowfall. It's just that such actions are not always rewarding. More often they return empty-handed, so many horned eagles cannot survive the winter. In order to reproduce offspring, these species usually enter into mating in summer and give birth in autumn. Then in the winter, if they can't find food, their corpses can also become food for future generations after death.

After all, horned eagles, like vultures, are scavengers. Through this, they ensure that their ethnic group can thrive.

After this horned eagle flew over half of the forest, he finally found a corpse in the southwest corner of the forest. It was a man's body, lying on the ground with his back to the sky. It looked like it had been dead for a long time, but the horned eagle did not rush to fly down. It was spinning around in the sky to observe the corpse. In this year of great evolution of life, even animals have evolved a lot of wisdom.

From the sky, this is a tall man. The body hasn't grown plaques yet, it should have just been dead. A series of footprints were left on the snow behind him, indicating that he tried to cross the forest, but unfortunately died halfway. A backpack was thrown beside the man, and some food cans fell out of it.

After circling for ten minutes, the horned eagle was basically certain that the man was dead. Under its sharp eyes, there was no trace of the man's body moving in ten minutes. No one can lie still in the radiant snow for ten minutes, except the corpse. The horned eagle's rich experience made it make this judgment. It shouted for joy, retracted its wings and rushed towards the corpse.

However, when it was one or two meters away from the corpse, it instinctively felt dangerous. Then he saw the corpse suddenly stretched out his hand to catch it, and the horned eagle was shocked, flapping its wings to fly. However, an invisible energy field emerged from the palm of the corpse, firmly tightening it and dragging it down.

The horned eagle screamed, continuously flapping his wings, but couldn't stop himself from sinking toward the ground. In the end it screamed desperately, bowed its head and ejected a horn on its forehead, hoping to get a chance to escape. However, the single horn that can be compared to the kinetic energy of a sniper projectile easily held the other hand of the corpse in his palm, and then dropped it casually into the snow. At this moment the body completely turned over, revealing a serious face.

Finally, the horned eagle fell. The man held its claws in one hand, and pulled out a dagger with the other hand. It instantly plunged into its abdomen and tore it up. The horned eagle wailed, blood and intestines flowed out of the wound, and it finally lost all its strength.

After half an hour, it chopped its wings and plucked its hair, and turned it into a big turkey. It was skewered on a branch for men and grilled on the fire.

Seeing the horned eagle that was gradually roasted into golden yellow on the fire, Sine's expression was very calm. However, in the past few days, his experience has nothing to do with calmness. Since escaping from Rome, Signe has been on the run for the past few days. The man hiding in Sauron's palace followed suit. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Signie, but he always forced Signie to flee to the east.

The man was terrible, and Signe had used all the methods he knew. But whether it was a frontal attack or a sneak attack from behind, the man couldn't stop this man even for a moment. In such an escape, Sine had already eaten up all the food he had brought, and he could only slaughter some abnormal beasts on the road for food. When the situation is most stressful, he can only eat raw.

But even so, because of winter, food is getting less and less. Sometimes, Signe even needs to dig deep underground to occasionally find a nest of snow rabbits hibernating. A horned eagle as big as it is now is a very precious food. Signe decided to roast it, and then ate half of it in one go. The stored energy should be enough for him for three days.

Then cut the remaining eagle meat into strips and take it away with ice and snow. As for the radiation in the snow, it is completely outside of Sine's consideration. Even if he eats a bite of radiant snow, it doesn't matter to him such a high-end.

Soon, the horned eagle was cooked. The golden barbecue exudes a tempting smell of meat. Sine tore off a piece of eagle meat that was still fraught with oil and put it in his mouth, then smashed the eagle meat with his two rows of teeth. The eagle's meat smells fragrant, but the horned eagle's muscle fibers are very rough, so it tastes bad. But it can bring in heat and nutrients, and Signe has nothing to ask for.

After all, he is now on the run, rather than enjoying the treatment of a captain in Rome.

Just after eating an eagle leg, Signe moved in his heart. He sighed, and even before he could pack his things, he saw a purple-black line appear from a distance. Then the light flashed, seemingly slow. Sine leaped directly to the ground, and the light glided across his back, traversing the ancient trees one after another, and finally flew into the top of a hill in the distance before announcing his disappearance.

Then, countless old trees fell all around in the forest, and there was a rumbling sound. As for the hill where the light entered, the mountain was dislocated and slid down, turning into tons of rubble and rolling all the way to the ground, raising a smoke of a mixture of stone dust and snow powder.

Signe stood up, frowned, and looked at Gaia approaching in the distance. The silver-haired man came slowly, in fact, he has maintained such a speed. Not fast, not slow, but unstoppable!

When he came to Sine, he finally stood still. This was the first time Gaia stopped since he chased Sine. Then his gaze fell on the barbecue in Signe's hand, and the latter said in amazement, "Do you want something?"

"If you don't mind." Gaia smiled.

Sine tore off an eagle leg and threw it to him. Gaia took it, put down the long sword, sat down like a tree stump, and ate slowly. Signe was also welcome, sitting on the rock on the other side and continuing to wipe out the barbecue that hadn't been eaten just now. This scene is very weird, but no one speaks, everyone eats their own food. After eating all an eagle's leg, Gaia clapped his hands. Even if he was holding a greasy eagle's leg, his fingers were still clean, as if the oil could not leave any marks on it.

Signe was the opposite. He ate so much oil on his hands and mouth that Gaia frowned slightly. Then Sine tore off the leftover half of the barbecue, and put it on the snow, and the snow rolled. The low temperature of the snow and the temperature of the barbecue itself clash, producing bursts of white smoke. When Signe patted the snow powder again, the roast had already been quick-frozen, so that it could maintain its freshness for several days.

Seeing Signe put the meat in the bag, Gaia smiled: "It looks like, do you think you can escape from my hand?"

"Why not?" Signe asked rhetorically.

"Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance." Gaia stretched out a finger and said: "For the reason you just invited me to eat barbecue, I will ask you again."

"Think about it. It's a good choice to be my companion."

Signe didn't even think about it, and said lightly: "I refuse."

"What a stubborn guy." Gaia didn't seem to be surprised. He held the overgrown sword and said: "Well, let's give you another discount. It is also the last discount. I will give you enough. Time preparation, as long as you can block me for one minute, then I will stay here for three days. During these three days, you can go wherever you want."

"You are so generous." Signe said.

Gaia nodded and said, "This is a thank you for your barbecue. I am not used to accepting the love of others, especially a guy who is about to die."

"Then you won't attack Luo until I'm ready to finish?"

"certainly."

Signe suddenly smiled and said, "That's so grateful."

He stretched out his hand, with antiseptic gauze wrapped around his right index finger. Signe removed the gauze, and there was a slight wound on his finger. He squeezed the wound with his thumb and opened it with his nails, and then began to bleed from the wound.

Gaia looked at him with interest, but saw the blood dripping from between his fingers rolled into the ground and scattered. Instead, he desperately absorbed the nearby snow powder and followed to form a wriggling snowball. After the snowball grows to the size of a fist, it starts to be fixed from a soft shape, and the surface is actually coated with a layer of metallic luster. Then a row of sharp limbs popped from both sides, and the limbs propped up the body like a spider.

An eyeball was rolled up in the shape of a carapace, and the eyeball was covered with bloodshot eyes, like the eyeball of an extremely creature. Then a seam was opened at the front end, and two rows of staggered sharp teeth emerged as soon as the seam opened. These little monsters opened and closed their mouths, their teeth hit each other, and they made waves of metal croaking.

"What is this?" Gaia asked.

"I call them bitters. Their oral structure is similar to piranhas and they can give out a huge bite force. And what they like most is to bite things. They bite everything... including you." Signe said lightly.

"Oh, it's funny, then let's start." Gaia was about to reach out to hold his sword hilt.

"No, it's not ready yet." Signe stretched out his hand and said, "I'm not ready yet."

"Tsk, don't tell, you are still a greedy guy."

"Greedy?" Signe said with a smile: "I don't think so, but since you gave me such a good discount, it would be a shame not to use it. Of course, you can go back if you want to."

"I don't have these two words in my dictionary. It doesn't matter, but you are ready. I also want to see, as the creator, how can you create a biological corps?" Gaia even stepped back. Took two steps to show my sincerity.

"Then I'm not welcome."

Next, some strange creatures were created in Signe's hands. His abilities are a bit similar to Dr. Cod's Z-substance, except that Dr. Cod's Z-substance directly uses blood to form biological weapons, while Signe combines blood with substances in the nearby environment to form biological weapons.

His blood seemed to be able to combine with any substance. In addition to the initial bite, Signe created several biological weapons. When combined with nearby rocks, a humanoid weapon similar to a stone puppet appeared; when combined with an ancient tree, the tree would tremble continuously, then the branches and leaves would fall off, and the bark would split. From the inside came out an old tree guard who only raised a wooden shield.

There are even some thousands of nano-sized weapons as fine as dust.

Gaia finally lost his smile looking at the weird army of creatures in front of him. After producing the last biological weapon, Signe was so tired that he panted, and his face paled a lot. But he smiled reluctantly, and said: "Now you can start."

"That's really great, I just don't have the patience anymore." Gaia said coldly, squeezed the hilt of the sword, and then looked at the army of creatures rushing towards him with cold eyes.

The long sword was unsheathed, cutting out a purple-black light that traversed the world and submerged into the biological army, immediately harvesting a large swath of biological weapons. But there are too many biological weapons, and when they charge together, the entire Black Forest is trembling. And Gaia's figure, just like this, submerged in countless creatures.

The battle ended soon~lightnovelpub.net~ After 1 minute and 15 seconds, Gaia put away the sword. There was a large body of biological weapons lying at his feet, but Signe had long since disappeared. Only a piece of rags torn from his clothes was nailed to the ground, with the words "remember your promise" written on it. Gaia smiled, and the scabbard tapped the cloth, which exploded to pieces immediately.

He closed his eyes and stood with his sword on the ground, just like a statue.

It wasn't until three days later that Gaia opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, he changed from a statue to a person again, and the change in breath was full of drama. It is a pity that no one has seen it, otherwise it will be regarded as a miracle.

Gaia looked around, and the body of the biological weapon had been submerged in a piece of radiant snow. Even his head and shoulders are covered with snow powder. It seems that there has been a snowfall in the past two days. The snow covered up Signe's footprints, and the wind blew his smell away. But all this doesn't matter, Gaia can feel his presence, no matter how long he leaves or how far he goes, he will always die under his own sword.

With feet protruding from the snowdrift, Gaia began to walk forward. Each step was precise, and at a constant speed, Gaia walked towards the east of the Black Forest.
