Chapter 462: Breaking the Ring
Su Xiao looked at the plain in front of him. The vegetation in this place had obvious signs of the presence of animals.
— This is the blast zone?
— Yes, that's her, " Barr said, and looked at the muddy pit in the distance. "See that muddy pit over there?
— Yes, why?
— My most respected brother died in that place. He was a fearless warrior who was able to steal an egg from Baham.
Su Xiao's pupils narrowed slightly. "Someone actually dared to steal an egg from Baham?»
But when he remembered that he had been to their nest and left it alive, he realized that this was not so surprising.
— Carlo, how many times can you do it today?.. Barr asked and looked at Carlo, who was standing next to him.
— Five times.
— As soon as Barr finished, Carlo went ahead.
Carlo's expression was bored and he clearly didn't care that he might have stepped on an explosive ant.
Barr followed, Su Xiao followed, and Bubtney brought up the rear.
*Crackle*
There was a sharp sound from the front, and Carlo, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly.
*Boom*
A powerful wave of air spread out in all directions and caused Su Xiao's clothes to stick to his body.
A foot whizzed past him, and it was naturally Carlo's.
In fact, even though one of the ants exploded, the explosion surprisingly didn't make much noise. The explosion sounded more like someone popping an inflated balloon.
After dusting off his clothes, Su Xiao looked ahead.
There was a large pit three meters in diameter ahead of them, and in the pit was Carlo. Only the upper part of his body remained.
— Bad luck, " Barr said and sighed, then stepped forward and pulled Carlo out of the hole. Pulling it out, he untied a pouch from the stomach of an animal from his belt.
Opening it, Barr poured some of the light red liquid onto Carlo's withered cheek.
The roots of the plants on Carlo's cheeks trembled, and soon his eyes opened.
*Crackle-crackle...*
Carlo's lower body began to gradually recover.
Ten seconds later, Carlo stood up as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.
Su Xiao noticed one important thing — after his full recovery, Carlo had become shorter. Carlo used to be at least three meters tall, but now he was at most about 2.7 meters tall.
Although Carlo and Barr's actions looked very suspicious, Su Xiao didn't ask any questions.
The group continued to move forward and no one said a word. Carlo calmly walked forward and stepped on ants from time to time.
Su Xiao, who was following behind them, was holding a small bag of gunpowder that he had obtained after parsing one of the Spider Queen's bullets.
He scattered a bit of gunpowder along the way. Although he couldn't create a path of gunpowder, Bubtney could smell it, so if anything happened, they would be able to return.
After walking two-thirds of the way, Carlo stepped on the explosive ant again, and after recovering, Carlo stopped moving forward.
— Carlo, having been blown up five times, stood in place as if he were a tree.
Barr asked cautiously, " Can you go on?
— No, I'm going to die or suffer, " Carlo said without any hesitation, which made Barr feel helpless.
— Our dear friend, listen... Barr said and looked at Su Xiao.
— No, I can't detect these explosive ants.
And Su Xiao wasn't lying — he really couldn't sense the position of these creatures.
Barr hesitated, then stepped forward. The reason why Barr decided to bring Su Xiao along was because he wanted to use Su Xiao's sword skills.
By now, the Zerg had already noticed the intruders entering their territory, so it wouldn't be long before her subordinates would come to them.
When this happens, the mother socket will already be completely blocked. If someone wanted to enter it, they would have to forcefully destroy its protective layer. Previously, Barr had tried many methods but couldn't succeed, but after seeing Su Xiao's attacks on that battlefield, Barr decided to take advantage of Su Xiao's strength.
Barr, the sly old fox, was not as fearless as Carlo. Every now and then he bent down and checked every meter of the way for a long time.
Su Xiao, who was following behind him, was a little puzzled. There were so many people in the Yasenman tribe, so why didn't Barr lead more people?
But it was not that Barr wanted to take all the laurels for himself, but that although he was the leader of the Yasenman tribe, this tribe as such was not a single whole and quite often there were people in the tribe who wanted to take power for themselves.
If such people found out that he wanted the Zerg queen's eggs, then his life would immediately come to an end.
For the blood vine warriors, these eggs were the most shameful choice possible.
The goal of the blood vine warriors is to return to the "embrace of the sun", or simply " explode».
Barr obviously didn't want to die, so he wanted to live longer with the help of the Zerg egg.
After a while, he suddenly stopped and thought. "Too many of them," Barr muttered, and squatted down.
— Since there's no other way out, I hope my body can handle it, " Barr extended his withered palm forward...
Five of Barr's fingers fell away from his palm and fell to the ground.
Immediately after, his five fingers sank into the soil.
A minute later, five vines broke through the ground and formed the figure of a man.
*Crackle-crackle*
The roots of the vines came out of the soil and created one person, breaking up into five little people who immediately moved forward.
By this point, Barr was breathing heavily and continuously swallowing liquid from the pouch as waves of heat began to radiate from his body.
Ten minutes later, only two of the five little men remained, but the group was able to completely cross the blast zone.
However, the blast zone was only a buffer zone of the Zerg nest. Even more dangerous territory lay ahead.
Barr's fingers recovered, but Su Xiao could feel that the temperature next to him was getting higher and higher.
Su Xiao started to stay away from Barr, as he felt that this old man might explode at any moment.
And his gaze could only be described as 'fierce'. He looked more like a cornered animal now.
— Let's speed up, " Barr said, staring intently at the huge nest in the distance, the entrance to which had just been sealed.
Various sounds began to resound around them and soon they were surrounded by a large number of scorpions.
There were hundreds of them, but so many ordinary scorpions couldn't stop this group.
Barr's plan was set in motion at the perfect time. Right now, with a fierce battle being waged between the two factions, all the Zerg main forces were on the battlefield, and their rear was empty.
*Ar-r-r!*
The scorpion wrapped in a black shell roared, and a sour smell began to spread from its body.
— I need to cool down a bit, so please, " Barr said, took out a compass, hesitated for a moment, and tossed it to Su Xiao.
A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face as he caught the compass. Now, he could retreat at any time, but given the current circumstances, it wasn't a good choice.
— This is the end of our contract, partner, " Su Xiao said as he drew the Dragon Flash from its scabbard, while the scorpions were already rushing towards the group from all directions.
The sour smell became even more pungent, but Su Xiao took out his sword and killed all the scorpions within a three-meter radius of the group in one move, however, this did not change the overall situation, as the scorpions in the surrounding area were only getting bigger.
Su Xiao noticed this and stopped killing them.
— Get down on the ground.
Under Barr's surprised gaze, Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon Flash back into its scabbard and took a deep breath.
— Break the ring.
*A CLANG*
Dragon Flash shot out of its scabbard and a cold glare shot out from its blade. This glare seemed very thin, but it spread out in all directions in the blink of an eye.
The scorpions that were up to more than ten meters away from the group abruptly froze.
