Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 809: Choose the Battlefield

When Allen climbed halfway up a mountainside, it was already dawn. The soft morning light spreads down, leaving a strong contrast of light and shadow under the mountains.

The further north the Twilight Continent went, the more mountains there were, and the temperature dropped step by step. The creatures living here are mostly cold-blooded and cold-resistant species. These creatures are very stoic. They can lie dormant in the soil for many days without moving, and will not rise up and eat until prey appears. At this moment, Allen just squatted down, and his heart moved. Turning around suddenly, the Zhiyan pistol was raised, and a bullet of Yuanli blasted out behind him.

The Yuanli bullet, which had no activation ability, collided with a black shadow that flashed out of the cave, and the bullet exploded into flames. The high-temperature flame was slightly sticky, sticking to the black shadow and making it sizzle. As a result, the weird creature like a thick tree trunk fell to the ground. The high temperature and flames are still fatal to ordinary creatures, especially the source force bullets inspired by the flames, which can reach a high temperature of more than a thousand degrees.

Even without the spread range of the blazing bomb and the high temperature of 2,000 degrees, it is deadly enough for this kind of creature. It twisted a few times, then completely lost its breath, and the flame gradually extinguished, revealing its straight face. It looks a bit like a gigantic leech, but its skin is covered with many rough textures, and its color is almost brown, which is somewhat deceptive. Eyeballs are irregularly distributed around the body, and a mouth full of nests of teeth is exposed at the front end.

Its body is full of elasticity, and its strange muscle distribution makes it have multiple force nodes, which can quickly launch a surprise attack in a hiding place. Regardless of the bite force of its mouthparts, the impact of the ejection alone is enough to smash a boulder. Ordinary creatures are hit by it with all their strength, even if they don't die, they will be fractured and seriously injured, and the end will naturally be reduced to delicious food.

In federal sources, this creature is called a giant woodworm because it looks like a dead tree when it's not moving. Giant woodworms usually hide in rock caves, and in this vast mountainous area, rock caves are the most indispensable. Those caves with all kinds of strange shapes, large and small, are simply the natural nests of creatures in the Northland. Some mountains even have intricate passages that connect many caves, forming unique mountain mazes.

At this moment, Hubble is hiding in a natural cave not far away.

This is the third day since the attack on the Golet family. Allen took two followers all the way north and entered this mountainous area yesterday evening to get a chance to rest temporarily. Hubble was seriously injured, but the speed of recovery was equally astonishing. This is not only due to his deep foundation, but also due to his racial genes. With the physical resilience that is not inferior to Allen's evolution twice, Hubble's injury is at least 70% healed today, he can already participate in the battle, and has the opportunity to fight with all his strength.

Looking at the direction of the road from a distance, a feeling of being as heavy as a mountain looms in Alan's heart. There was no need to go through the hint of blood, and Allen also knew that was the feeling Karin gave him. After chasing after them for the past three days, Karin seemed to have made up her mind to kill Allen no matter what. She is like a lover who will never leave, always chasing after the three of them. The female giant is not good at speed, and her huge body consumes more physical energy under the gravity of the planet than Allen and the others.

So until now, Karin can only maintain a tight grip, but has not been able to catch up with the three of them.

But Allen decided not to run away.

After three days of running in a straight line, he was sure of one thing.

Maine didn't follow.

For Allen, Maine is the real enemy. Even Karin is very dangerous as a voter of the blood road, but compared with Maine, the degree of danger is not at the same level at all. Main represents the power that Allen cannot overcome at this moment, that is the power at the upper level of the pyramid of the source power system. Even though Maine is probably only a marginal role at that level, for the current Allen, Maine is already too strong to be defeated.

If it was Maine, Allen would have caught up with him as early as the day of the attack. But three days passed, and only Karin was hanging behind. Then things became clear, and Maine didn't keep up. After discovering the traces of the Golet family that day, Allen notified the family camp, and Rody transferred Fording to support them. So Allen waited fearlessly for Toure to come to the door, everything was under control. But he never expected that Maine would put aside all scruples and come forward to kill him.

If Karin hadn't intervened, maybe there would be nothing for Allen in this world now. After that, Allen put Maine and Karin together at the same time, luring them to fight. He took Belmode and the two out of the battlefield, intending to lure the most dangerous two away. Judging from the current situation, when Fording arrived in time and forced Maine away, Karin was the only one to catch up.

Although Karin is also very strong, she is not strong enough to make people despair. Allen has played against her several times, and already has a general understanding of her strength. The combat strength of this giantess should be similar to that of Segres. On Paradise Star that day, Alan met Segres at full strength, and almost killed him. However, he has grown a lot now, not to mention there are two followers. Especially Hubble, when he activated the killing stance, he was fully capable of challenging Karin.

The only thing to worry about is Karin's ability.

The scene of the annihilation of the red fighters that day is still vivid, especially the head of the group, Kupang, who was mercilessly killed by Karin. At that time, Gu Bang's bones seemed to grow uncontrollably, twisted and deformed, and finally turned into a sharp weapon to kill him. Needless to say, it must have been Karin's masterpiece. After that, Allen tried to analyze Karin's ability, and came to the conclusion that when facing the giantess, one must avoid being hurt by her.

Her ability seems to be through wounding the target, and then transporting some kind of medium into the target's body, thereby controlling the target's bones, making it alienated and deformed, and finally killing the target from the inside.

Therefore, the longer it takes to deal with Karin's strange ability, the more disadvantageous it will be. To kill her, you have to strike from a distance like Fording. But there is no sniper among the three, and they don't have Fording's strength, so they can't give Karin a fatal blow. Then it is necessary to use thunderous means to pour out combat power in the shortest possible time to achieve the effect of a quick battle.

Allen could only choose the latter in the end.

So he is here, while observing the terrain, countless combination plans are constantly flowing through his mind, and they are screened one by one.

Time passed bit by bit like this, and the pressure in my heart continued to increase, which meant that Karin was approaching. Allen showed an unprecedented calmness, only focusing on what he thought he should do. When the time came to nine o'clock, Allen chose a battlefield. At the same time, a course of action was decided. Even if it doesn't look perfect, it's the most suitable solution right now.

So Allen left the mountainside, leaving only the charred giant woodworm behind.

A moment later, there was a long and penetrating howl in the continuous mountainous area. Karin, who was striding forward, stopped when she heard the long roar. After three consecutive days of long-distance raids with almost no rest, Karin's face and body were covered with a layer of ash. The strange purple hair that was as high as a snake also hung down, their texture became heavy, and they were no longer as flamboyant as before.

Karin let out a long breath and wiped the sweat off her face. The towering chest was rising and falling, and the heart was constantly beating like a bellows at full speed. Karin is well aware of her state, and to be honest, she is not in a good state right now. The hidden wound that Fording caused to her before never healed, and then fought with Maine three days ago. Even though Karin was not injured in that battle, the power collision with Maine deepened those unhealed wounds.

In the past three days of raids, Karin did not forget to rest. He could rest at most to recover some of his stamina, but he didn't have the strength to recover from those hidden injuries. So they're getting worse, and it's not like Karin hasn't thought about giving up. But Allen is right in front of him, and if he misses this opportunity, Karin doesn't know how long he will have to wait for another opportunity, and he doesn't know if he can get it.

So she didn't give up.

Hearing Allen's whistling sound at this time, it was clearly intended to lure her to a duel. Karin snorted coldly, Allen's move was undoubtedly a provocation, and even more contemptuous of her.

She cannot ignore and is ready to fight.

Even if the state is not perfect, so what. Just three bugs, Karin thought.

It's a pity that Karin came late that day. If she had seen the scene of Hubble attacking with the berserk gun for a minute or two in the morning, Karin would not think so now. But there will never be an if in the world, so Karin plundered boldly, went deep into the mountains, and arrived at the battlefield designated by Allen.

Karin couldn't help but frowned when she saw Allen. This is a narrow and long valley belt between two mountain ranges. The width of this canyon is only about 20 meters. On both sides, there are tall and long cliffs, towering dangerous rocks, and irregularly distributed caves of different sizes. The ground in the valley belt is not even, there are huge boulders scattered on the high and low ground, and occasionally there will be one or two deep ravines across the ground, like ugly scars on the earth.

For Karin, the battlefield obstacles designated by Allen are not ordinary. Especially for a huge creature like her, there are many restrictions. Karin stared at it for a moment, and after memorizing the topography here, she spit out two words: "Superficial."

In her opinion, Allen intends to use the terrain environment here to weaken his combat power. It is wise from a strategic point of view, but it also depends on who the target is. If it is Karin, then these obstacles, Karin can completely level them with tyrannical strength, and step on a smooth path in the valley belt. So such a terrain environment seems meaningless.

If you have to say it, it will be more troublesome than in the plains.

Karin opened her lips and raised her voice: "So, this is the cemetery you chose?"

On the other side of the valley belt, Allen said indifferently: "Maybe it's yours."
