Chapter 473: A strange combination
— Are you sure we're going that way?" Barr asked, walking carefully through the blast zone.
Su Xiao walked in front of him along with Bubtni.
After the old man absorbed the egg, his body condition stabilized and he began to fear death even more.
Since Su Xiao had scattered gunpowder on the road beforehand and asked Barr about whether these explosive ants were moving after being submerged in the soil, he and Bubtney could now move through the explosive zone without any worries.
And, of course, the explosive ants didn't move from their places after sinking into the soil.
Su Xiao squinted at Barr. "Do you want to go first?
Barr shook his head and smiled awkwardly.
— I wasn't prepared for this eventuality. The original seed seriously damaged my brain, and all I could think about was this egg, " Barr said and sighed.
— Heh~, you may not believe me, but this is the sixth time I've come here for this egg, " Barr looked at the nest and fell into a stupor for a second. — The Zerg didn't attack us at all in the beginning. It was the Yasenman tribe that initiated all the wars with the Zerg for the first hundred years.
Su Xiao wasn't surprised by Barr's words.
Zerg eggs were the only way for the blood Vine warriors to survive.
Considering that the tribal leaders were blood vine warriors and many of them wanted to live longer, all these wars were obviously not just for the sake of conquering new territories, most likely not for the sake of territories in the first place.
Soon they were out of the blast zone, and Barr turned his head to look at the huge nest.
— The war with the Zerg will soon come to an end, " Barr said, standing still and looking at the mother nest. — I met the Zerg queen. She said she was going to leave. She probably sensed that a cold catastrophe was coming. The Yasenman Tribe might not be able to survive this disaster.
— Cold disaster?
— That's right, when this calamity hits us, no new blood vine warriors will appear in our tribe, " Sighing, he turned around and walked towards the tribe.
— If it was just a simple war against the Zerg, then we wouldn't need to go through these ceremonies for the sake of becoming these shitty short-lived warriors, " Barr said and gritted his teeth.
— Oh? Weren't the blood Vine warriors created to win the war against the Zerg?
— Are you serious right now? Barr shook his head, smiled, and said — " The Zerg Queen always thought that we were no match for her, but we were well aware that if we took over her nest and herself, she would eventually stop producing the eggs we needed. We could have killed her a long time ago. The blood vine warriors have been around for a couple of millennia, while the Zerg only appeared on this island a few hundred years ago. The Zerg Queen must have sensed that the creatures in the Black Forest were getting more active and saw signs of the old monsters awakening. Summer is about to pass, and after summer, the island will be hit by a harsh cold winter, so she made a wise choice to leave this island.
Barr didn't say what it was like in the Black Forest, but he clearly wasn't trying to make fun of it.
After all, the fact that the Yasenman tribe lived in a territory with red soil was, to put it mildly, a very strange and illogical decision. There was a special bridge near them that would allow them to pass into the usual "safe" zone, if, of course, you compare it with the territory with red soil and even more so the Black Forest.
The "normal" part of this island had a nice, calm atmosphere. There was a huge amount of food and fresh water, but the Yasenman tribe decided to settle in an area with red soil, and not in such pleasant territory.
However, the Black Forest was on the periphery of the normal zone. If something happens in the Black Forest, this "normal" area will be the first to suffer.
The territory with red soil could only be reached through two stone bridges, one of which had already been destroyed. Because of the rocks and precipice, the huge area with red soil was basically a natural fortress.
— The Zerg Queen was blind and didn't care about the warnings of our ancestors. In her mind, all of this is just a small island on a remote planet, and this planet obviously didn't even want to be compared to her 'void', but she didn't know that our Yasenman tribe was also part of the void.
Su Xiao stared at the Barr.
— Are you surprised? This news shouldn't leak out to the outside world, but this time, I'm not sure if we can survive this disaster, so it's fine, " Barr looked up at the sky, his bleary old eyes filled with helplessness.
— We are guardians, sent by one of the void kings, and we must guard this place, and we have been guarding it for thousands of years. On this barren island, we gradually lost the traces of our civilization and the remnants of our technology, and our people became more and more like primitive people. But we couldn't leave this island, " Barr said, and sighed. "Forget it, there's no point in rehashing the past. It would be best if you could see our ceremony. You travelers always make unreasonable demands.
Su Xiao also thought about the words Barr.
Previously, he had thought that the secret of Devouring Island was based on the war between the Zerg and the natives, but that wasn't the case. The Yasenman tribe is not the native inhabitants of this island, but the guardians who came from outside.
— Since you have the power and can destroy the Zerg, why didn't you enslave them and force the Zerg to mass produce the eggs you need?
Barr, who was leading the way, shook his head.
— The price is too high. We would only resort to this method if we were in a desperate situation! Barr said, and fell silent.
— Stop, " Su Xiao said and stopped, and Barr frowned, thinking that Su Xiao had something to ask him.
— Su Xiao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Although Barr didn't really trust Su Xiao, he knew that Su Xiao wouldn't joke about such things. Soon, an engine roared, and an armored personnel carrier with three out-of-this-world jet engines came into view.
This, of course, was the transport of some contractors.
Inside the armored vehicle was a man with a thick beard, and he was leaning back in the seat next to the woman, and his hand kept moving under her clothes.
— Brother Hei, there's someone under us, " the skinny driver said.
— Natives or contractors? A bearded man with the call sign "Hey" asked and pulled his hand out from under the woman's clothes.
— Aboriginal and... Contractor!
— Hey quickly got up and looked out the window.
In total, there were six contractors in the armored personnel carrier — five men and one woman.
This armored vehicle was transported by them in this trial with the space compression spell.
— Brother Hei, don't mind them, we have to leave this red soil territory as soon as possible, we haven't eaten all day, and if it wasn't for that idiot who died, we wouldn't have gotten into this situation, " the woman said. Her tone was flattering, but it was obvious that her status in this group wasn't very high.
— They definitely have food and fresh water with them, " Hei said when he saw the dried meat and water in Bubtni's bag.
— Great!
— Rob them!
Almost all the contractors immediately drew their weapons.
— It's best not to make trouble, the most important thing right now is to get out of here as soon as possible, " said an old man in the back row of the armored personnel carrier.
He was sitting alone, quietly eating a packet of cookies, which made all the other people look at him and immediately swallow their saliva.
— Master, we have enough left... Hei just opened his mouth, but immediately felt the cold gaze of the "master" on him.».
Anger rose in his heart, but he didn't dare show even a drop of his anger. If even a hair falls from this old man's head, he will be chopped into pieces and turned into minced meat, which will be consumed by the leader of their faction in the end.
— Didn't you hear me? the master said, and after finishing the cookies, he took out a bottle of water and began to swallow the water with pleasure.
— Understood, let's go, " Hei said pleasantly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
