With a loud roar, Zero instinctively knocked Moni away and causing her to fall towards Taelice who was at the side. (TL: Su Yun means Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi But after knocking Moni away and moving him to zero, she placed herself on the shooting trajectory of the sniper rifle.
He instantly understood that he was the assassin's target. However, the enemy had cleverly used his human nature weakness to increase his chance of hit by a sniper's sniper attack to one hundred percent!
Zero could no longer avoid it.
He could only grit his teeth, crossing his arms in front of his chest and blocking the vital parts of his head. Time was of the essence, and he was not even able to use explosive force to dodge this fatal blow.
Thus, when Moni just crashed into Taelice, Zero flew out from the ground.
Time seemed to stop as Moni and Taelice's eyes opened wide. They could see the sniper swipe a translucent trajectory through Zero's arm, into the right side of his chest, leaving a trail of blood and bits of flesh behind him, and disappear across the bridge.
When Zero fell onto the bridge, the sound of the sniper rifle came from the direction of the Death Ridge.
"Zero!"
"Get down!"
Moni's and Zero's voice came out at the same time, the latter's voice was loud and clear, obviously not taking their lives. Only then did Moni heave a sigh of relief.
"Damn, what luck!"
In the dense forest of Death Ridge, Lan Qi, who had just finished a sniping exercise on a fir tree, scolded viciously. According to his calculations, the sniper bullet should have hit a zero point of the heart. Unexpectedly, the moment the bullet was shot, a strong wind blew up from the crack, causing the cable bridge to sway and interfering with the trajectory of the sniper bullet.
But he still had a chance. Lan Qi revealed a cold smile, changed his gun, and aimed it at the steel cable on the bridge.
Actually, this was his most powerful killing move.
Zero took a deep breath and used his muscles to contract the wound. However, he did not have the time to immediately deal with this gunshot wound. His right forearm had been grazed by a sniper bullet, leaving a deep gash. A penetrating wound had also appeared on his chest, but fortunately, his bones and nerves were not injured. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to move this time.
Staying on the bridge would only make them targets for snipers, so and Moni had to stick close to the bridge as much as possible before they quickly climbed over it. However, just as they moved, the suspension bridge suddenly shook, and the sound of sniper rifles rang out once again.
This time, the target was clearly not any of them. However, a terrifying tearing sound came from above their heads. As they looked up, they saw that a part of the rope had been torn apart. And at that gap, the steel wire hidden in the rope was constantly cracking open!
Chapter 147 - Fallen to HelL (II)
In the blink of an eye, the steel bar broke. The suspension bridge shook, and the three people on it went pale with fright.
Since the Hanging cable bridge did not have the support of the piers, its design was the most balanced. The design of the suspension bridge is more focused on the sense of balance because of the constant strong wind between the cracks. At this moment, a steel cable was broken, and the suspension bridge's balance was immediately broken. The entire suspension bridge began to sway vigorously. However, the strong swinging caused the second and even more suspension cables to break off one after another due to the domino effect.
If they lost their footing here, even without Parkland's assassination, the chances of them surviving wouldn't exceed 10%.
There was no time to hesitate, and he used all his strength to push himself off the bridge. His whole body bounced like a rubber ball, and he jumped towards the second rope that was already beginning to break. As it approached the cable, the iron wire cable, which was as fine as a child's arm, was finally broken.
Zero loudly shouted, the strengthening ability of the second rank strength was brought to its limit. He stretched out his hands and took hold of both ends of the broken rope, using this force to pull on the rope and prevent the suspension bridge from deteriorating any further.
However, this did not last long. After all, zero only had the strength of a rank 2 Magus. The moment he gripped both sides of the broken cables, his strength had already reached its limit.
"Hurry up and leave." Zero gritted his teeth and said to the two women on the bridge.
Moni's tears immediately gushed out. She naturally knew why Zero did this. Taelice was also stunned, from what she had heard of outsiders, they were almost all associated with greed and selfishness. But now, as an outsider, Zero had sacrificed himself to protect them.
Seeing that the two women were still on the bridge, Zero roared, "Run! What are you all still standing there blankly for! "
"No!" Moni screamed, but in the next moment she was carried by Taelice, and followed after him as she quickly flew away. It was Taelice who had pushed her speed to the limit.
When Lan Qi reloaded with his sniper rifle and finished adjusting the trajectory, Taelice and Yue Yang had already left the suspension bridge and pounced onto the safety of the ground on the other side of the big crevice. He didn't mind since his target was zero. So what if he let go of the two girls first?
Thus, when the sniper rifle was aimed, the crosshairs locked onto the head of zero. At the same time this movement was completed, Zero suddenly turned his head from the sight gear to look at Lan Qi.
Goodbye.
Lan Qi thought to himself as he forcefully pressed down on the board.
Using his own body to connect the broken steel wire, he had become a live target. He had nowhere to run, unless he jumped into the crevice, but that was no different from dying under a Lance.
However, when Lan Qi pressed the trigger, a playful smile appeared on his face. He suddenly let go of the rope and let himself fall under the bridge. Naturally, the sniper rifle bullet did not hit him, but instead broke the other rope beside where Zero had been.
Without the use of his body as a link and the breaking of another cable, the bridge could no longer hold. Amidst the earth-shattering cracking sounds, the suspension bridge that was shaking violently collapsed. The cables on both sides of the bridge constantly split, causing the bridge's surface to smash into the mountain walls that were cracking, causing a violent tremor.
The entire Death Ridge trembled lightly.
Along with the wreckage of the suspension bridge falling down the bottomless abyss in the crevice was the smiling face of Zero. His figure rapidly descended, and a moment later, he disappeared into the darkness of the crevice. It was as if he had fallen into hell.
"Zero!" Moni threw herself to the edge of the crevice and screamed her lungs out.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. The moment she saw Ling Yun fall into the abyss, Moni realized that the man who acted as her protector had an extremely important place in her young heart. Yet, the man who was like his father had fallen into the crevice with a smile on his face.
Lan Qi pounded on the tree trunk with his fist. For some reason, as Lan Qi watched Zero slip into the embrace of Death, he felt as if his revenge had ended. The only thing that occupied Lan Qi's mind was Zero's smiling face.
The smile on the man's face seemed to say: Look, you can't kill me in the end!
Lan Qi was very clear that Zero wasn't killed by him, but rather chose him. He was going to die, but there was no way Lan Qi could forget this troublesome opponent for a moment.
It made Lange feel as if he'd taken a bite of bread and eaten a cockroach.
"Are you proud of yourself? Alright, I admit that I couldn't kill you with my own hands, so let's just kill the other two women along the way. He pressed down a sniper rifle bullet, and then locked the sight gear's aim onto Moni who was on the other side of the crevice.
A
sharp whistle suddenly sounded from behind Lan Qi. A strong gust of wind came from far away, and the sudden change gave Lan Qi a sense of danger. The black man immediately jumped down from the treetop without a second thought.
Before he landed on the ground, he saw several bolts of blue lightning cut through the area where Lan Qi was just standing. Energy vibrated in the air as the cedar trees that the three of them were holding were silently cut off by the lightning. The broken branches brushed past the leaves on the leaves, and with a rumble, they crashed onto the ground, creating a thick layer of dust.
Lan Qi looked warily at the jungle behind them. A suppressed growl came from the jungle. It was a roar filled with threat. Lan Qi understood the meaning behind the words. Just as he pointed the vulture 'muzzle towards the direction behind him, a violent wind started to blow in the depths of the forest. A small figure the height of a small mountain filled Lan Qi's eyes.
Just like that, a metamorph with the head of a lion and wings of an eagle pounced out of the jungle. It broke countless fir trees, and some of the mutated man-eating tree did not manage to move away in time, and were sent flying by the huge beast's roots. The beast came at them with great ferocity. Lan Qi raised his spear to shoot, but was interrupted by the sudden crisscrossing motion of its forelimbs.
Immediately, six criss-crossing arcs of electricity shot towards Lan Qi.
The black man could no longer shoot. Even the tall cedar trees could not withstand the electric arcs. Lan Qi felt that his body was not as sturdy as the cedar trees. If he was struck by this electric net like arc light, he would probably be reduced to a pile of minced meat.
Lankey rolled sideways, bounced, and hid behind another fir tree. The series of battle tactics and actions left everyone dazzled, but Lan Qi knew that it was impossible to kill this metamorph. At least, before he fully recovered, Lan Qi did not have much stamina to contend with this ferocious metamorph that could use energy to attack.
Therefore, the sound of him breaking through the barrier sounded out in the forest. The violent wind blew away the fallen leaves and smoke in the forest, and when the dust settled, there was no longer any trace of Lan Qi in the metamorph's eyes.
The battle in the direction of the Death Ridge caught the attention of Moni and Yue Shan, especially when Moni saw a gigantic beast suddenly flying out of the tall and big cedar forest. The metamorph that was hovering in midair for two weeks then swiftly flew up into the sky, disappearing into the thick clouds of radiation. Moni seemed to have met it before.
Suddenly, a name appeared in her mind.
Behemoth!
Chapter 148 - Underground Waters
Although it was not clear why Behemoth had appeared here, and from the looks of it, he had chased away Parkland's killers. However, for the current Moni, the fact that she fell into the crevice was still a little more important.
Taelice's expression did not look too good either. The first time was on Death Canyon. If it wasn't zero, Taelice would have already been turned into a pile of scraps under the toxic flames. The second time was right now.
black girl never thought that she would ever be saved by outsiders, and it was even twice. Semitic was born with a simple and unsophisticated personality, and she advocated nature and nature. She was merciless to her enemies and respectful to those who had helped him. Gunter was one example, but there was now an additional zero. Although he had not done anything to the tribe, he had saved Taelice twice.
Taelice decided to protect Moni on behalf of Zero. Although she could not understand why someone of Zero's strength would bring Moni along as a burden. Although Moni could be considered a beauty in Semitic's standards, but even Taelice knew that a mercenary who had many abilities and one of them had reached the fifth step was considered strong enough in the wilderness. It was quite easy for such a person to have a woman.
It was only until Moni did not hesitate to use her own flesh and blood to treat Zero's injuries that Taelice seemed to understand a little about it.
Since Zero had to protect Moni, and right now, he could say that he had a slim chance of survival. Then, if he did not come back, or if he did not come back, Taelice was willing to accept his responsibility.
The black girl patted Moni and said: "Let's go, he …."
"No, I want to wait for him here!" Zero will definitely not die! " Moni was not an obstinate child, but instead chose to obey. But this time, she wasn't willing to give up. She wanted to give up on the light that had fallen into the bottomless abyss!
To Moni, zero was the light that illuminated her dark world. She did not want to lose zero. She did not want to return to the dark world of her past. Even though she knew that the chances of survival were slim, this time, she decided to act rashly.
"Well, we'll wait for him. "One day." However, Taelice had only said the last two words for himself. With the food and water on their bodies, one day was already the limit. Moreover, they would have to starve if they were to head to windmill town.
Moni did not know about any of this. She just wanted to know what happened to Zero.
The situation with Zero was not too good.
It had been almost a minute since he had released the rope and fallen into the crevice, but he still couldn't see the end of the crevice. Zero was already in the darkness. It was unknown how deep the crack was, the sunlight could not reach it. However, from time to time, a strong wind would blow out from the bottom of the crevice. Every time a wind blew up, Zero would stretch out its body as much as possible, allowing the strong wind to cushion its fall.
After another minute or so, Zero's ears started to hear the sound of water, and the moist steam assaulted his face. He knew that he was finally going to see the bottom of the crevice.
He took a deep breath and pressed his hands against his legs, bracing himself like a javelin, minimizing the impact. As soon as he did this, he dove straight into the water. Zero could only pray that the underground waters were deep enough. Otherwise, he would have to kiss the earth's crust intimately, and that would definitely not be a pleasant result.
Fortunately, the strong wind had cushioned the descent, and with water as a natural cushion, this area of underground water was very deep. By the time Zero's fingers touched the floating sand of the riverbed, his body had almost stopped.
Following that, Zero's body was pulled towards the direction of the mouth of the sea, rushing towards the polluted sea. If Zero were to be washed into that endless sea, then he really would not be able to return.
While he was in the water, he pulled out a saber from his thigh and stabbed himself into the riverbed with all his might. The riverbed was full of mud. Although they were thick enough, they weren't hard enough. As a result, Zero's body did not stop. After being carried by the torrent for almost a hundred meters, the military knife had left a deep mark on the riverbed. However, the high silt finally provided enough resistance, allowing Zero to stop.
Zero took the opportunity to lie down on the riverbed, reducing the friction with the water. With one hand, he kept his saber fixed in the riverbed, while with the other, he reached for his army rucksack. There were a few Tactical fluorescent rod s on the outside of the backpack. Right now, the water was pitch black, and Zero would need a light source to determine the direction to go.
With two fingers pointing in the opposite direction, the light source material of the fluorescent rod was immediately activated. Immediately, a blurry yellow light lit up in front of Zero, illuminating an area of nearly three meters in the water. Unexpectedly, just as the fluorescent rod lit up, he suddenly saw a huge figure not too far away from him.
The figure was about the size of a cow, but in the yellow light, Zero could see a lobster-like shell. This was because the outer shell was a deep black in color, and the surface of the shell was riddled with convex spots. But this creature did indeed have five pairs of long legs like a lobster. Its limbs were long and sharp, and it was able to dig deep into the riverbed to secure its body. From the back, i
t also had two pairs of pincers, left, right and small.
As if the light had stimulated the creature, it suddenly turned around. Therefore, Zero saw that this lobster-like creature had a fish head.
The fish's eyes had degenerated, and the fat made them narrow into slits. However, there were two tentacle-like organs on its head. A pair of tentacles pointed to zero at the same time. Then, the strange fish opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs.
sea dragonfish!
They are the rare sea metamorph recorded in this book "Monster Notes". They have the head of a fish and the body of a lobster. The eyes were degenerated by pollution, but the antennae on their heads were sensitive to heat, and all creatures emitting heat were the food of this monster. sea dragonfish lives in the coastal region, which is a lactation organism. They will go to the river region during their growth period to reproduce. During reproduction, due to the instinct to protect the later generations, the sea dragonfish's attack power was the strongest.
The information regarding the monster fish appeared in Zero's mind. From the looks of it, sea dragonfish would appear in the underground water under the big fissure, and the monster fish in front of him was reproducing. Since there was a sea dragonfish here, the other side would probably not stay too far away.
Thinking this, Zero suddenly felt the water flow behind him change slightly. He turned his head to look, only to see another even bigger sea dragonfish opening its giant mouth that was filled with sharp teeth, silently biting down towards Zero's head!
Chapter 149 - Temporarily Away from Risk
When the monster fish reached its target, it laid on the riverbed and used all its strength to move three meters to the side like a spider, causing the sea dragonfish to bite onto nothing but a pile of mud.
