Chapter 461: The Nest
Although Carlo's speech was a bit vague and unclear, it was possible to understand him without any problems.
Su Xiao wasn't surprised that he was able to speak his language.
The first contact with Barr was surprisingly pleasant and understandable, and it was obvious from his speech that he must have been in contact with contractors more than once.
This island was called "Devouring Island" and there were no traces of human civilization on this island. There were only natives on it, but Barr understood the language.
Devouring Island was fundamentally different from the other derived worlds of Paradise. Paradise could only occasionally interfere in the affairs of this planet, and in a very limited way, and there was no question of resetting the timeline.
Given this, Barr probably saw a lot of contractors in his life. After all, the Yasenman tribe had already lived on this island for a huge amount of time, while the contractors were just random passers-by on this island.
In fact, if you think about this island, it was frightening just by its very existence. Contractors landed on it in huge batches time after time, but since its opening, nothing has changed on it.
The atmosphere in the stone house was a little awkward, and Barr's bleary eyes glanced at Carlo.
Carlo grinned for no reason and didn't say anything.
— Cough~, so what? Barr asked, and coughed dryly.
— Deep into the nest...
From the short conversation that had just taken place, Su Xiao realized that Carlo didn't seem to be Barr's subordinate. The relationship between them is not so much a "boss and subordinate" relationship, but rather an equality between two strong people.
— Yes, deep in the nest, " Barr said, and pulled out a rough map that was one of the treasures of the Yasenman tribe.
— The main battlefield is here, " Barr pointed to a point on the map that was a large plain. "This is our current location," Barr pointed to the location of the Yasenman Tribe on the map.
— Barr pointed to the location of three mountains with a forest far away from the Yasenman tribe.
— What are those black spots next to the Zergs? Su Xiao asked, looking at the area around the Zergs.
— This is an explosive zone.
— An explosive zone? Su Xiao was slightly surprised.
Barr lowered his eyes, as if remembering something bad, and said in a deep voice, " Yes, a blast zone where anyone will die if they step in the wrong place, and they are right around their nest. Black skull — nest, black dots around the skull — explosive zone.
— The Zerg have warriors that we call "explosive ants". They hide underground and stick out only their heads closer to the surface. As soon as someone steps on one of these heads, it will be possible to calculate that he is very lucky, if, of course, he did not step on a newborn ant, but on an old one. Newborns immediately explode, while older ones that are more than a week old explode only when they move their paws and they never explode from external influence. Such creatures live for about a month.
After listening to Barr's explanation, Su Xiao's first thought was that these explosive ants were, in fact, biological mines.
Newborn explosive ants had a keen sense of smell and would explode at the slightest impact, and old ants that were more than a week old would become less sensitive.
— How powerful are the explosions they create?
— After saying that, Barr shook his head and continued to describe the plan. "After the battle starts, we'll move out of here," Barr pointed to the mountain range behind the Zerg territory.
— After that, we will pass through the blast zone. Once we pass it, we will need to pay special attention to the sky. They have flying zergs that can spray strong acid, but there aren't many of them... Su Xiao raised his hand and told Barr to stop.
— After the blast zone, will you give me the compass.
Su Xiao's words made Barr hesitate.
— No, after we collect the egg.
— Su Xiao stood up and walked towards the exit without hesitation. If Barr gets the so-called egg, then it may already be too late to talk about the compass.
— Wait, " Barr said, and thought about it.
Carlo, who had been silent before, asked — " What's the problem?
Carlo's presence wasn't very strong. If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask a question, Su Xiao wouldn't have even noticed it. It felt more like a "potted plant" than a living thing.
Su Xiao stopped at the door of the stone house.
— I agree. As soon as we pass this area, I'll give you the compass.
Although the deal was done, Su Xiao didn't relax.
Barr's words surprised him a little. He only wanted to give him the compass after he picked up some " egg».
— When do we start?
While they were negotiating, the Aboriginal forces had already moved forward, and fourth son Barr was leading the army.
— Now.
The route and plan were well planned, but the plan couldn't keep up with the actual circumstances, but most of the Barr plan could be changed at any time without any problems.
— The egg I need is right next to the Zerg queen. Remember this — don't fall for her charm.
— Su Xiao looked at Barr in confusion.
— You will understand when you see her, this feeling... Barr said and fell silent, and soon they left the Yasenman tribe.
The distance between the tribe and the Zerg wasn't small, but the three of them had their own way of traveling.
Carlo and Barr were riding a horse-like creature called the Stampede. It was a carnivorous creature with great stamina, and this species lent itself well to training.
The three of them had to make a large circle around the flanks of the main battlefield and enter the insect nest through the back.
After circling for two hours, they arrived at a wetland that was in the rear of the Zergs.
A roar could be vaguely heard in the distance. The Yasenman Tribe and the Zerg have already started fighting.
There was a faint fishy sweet smell in the air, and several oval buildings could be seen in the distance.
These buildings were covered in greenery, and if one looked closely, one could see that they were trembling slightly, and blood vessels could vaguely be seen on their surface.
There were five nests in this place — one large and four small.
The smallest of them had a diameter of about ten meters, and the largest nest was like a castle more than ten meters high and an area the size of a football field.
— All I have to do is walk and get into their nest, and that's where the egg I need is, " Barr said, jumping off the back of his mount and scanning the area.
These five nests served different functions. The largest of them was the queen's residence, the so-called "mother nest", and it was home to a large number of scorpions and higher-level creatures.
The other four nests were responsible for incubating new warriors, scouting, protecting the air, and the last one was an evolutionary center for creating better warriors.
Barr's goal is the mother nest and the egg lying there.
However, first they had to go through the " blast zone».
