"It's not far ahead, the last supply point. We can rest there for a while and then leave the mountains in one breath. "
A Dark Blade Warrior said in a low voice. He lowered his voice, but it wasn't hard to hear the excitement in his tone.
This journey of death was finally coming to an end.
The supply point was a marked cave, camouflaged by shrubs and stones. If he hadn't known in advance, Hubble might have missed it. In terms of disguise, the Dark Blade Warriors were very skilled. Obviously, Belmore had trained them a lot in this area.
He removed a portion of the camouflage, revealing a dark cave entrance. The Dark Blade Warrior was about to drill in when Hubble reached out to grab his collar and pulled the warrior behind him. Hubble maintained his vigilance as he entered the cave. After confirming that there was no danger in the cave, the Catus informed the two warriors to come in. They set up the camouflage again. At first, the cave was pitch black, and then gradually there was a glimmer of light. It was the light of the moon shining through the cracks in the mountain. It wasn't bright, but it was enough to see things.
Hubble was fine, but the two Dark Blade Warriors were already exhausted. One of them walked into the depths of the cave, removed a few stones, used a dagger to pry open the camouflage ground, and carried out a box. Opening it, there was water and food ready in the box. There were seven or eight people's portions of supplies, but because there were only three people left, it seemed exceptionally sufficient, but there was also an indescribable feeling.
The warrior divided the food into three portions. Hubble only took the water to drink. After the other two ate the dried meat and water in moderation, they closed their eyes and rested, buying time to recover their strength.
A moment later, Hubble heard the long breathing of the two of them. The two of them had already entered a state of light sleep. If one looked closely, they would discover that their faces were still very young. There was still a lingering sense of youth between their eyebrows. Their peers might be farmers, fishermen, or other occupations. However, they had chosen the most dangerous and darkest path.
Even Hubble knew that spies like Dark Blade could only live in the dark, and their identities would never be exposed. Even if they died tragically one day, their closest relatives would not know why they died. When they chose to join the Dark Blade, they were already dead people.
Hubble shook his head, wondering when he had become so "sentimental". He suspected that it was because he had spent too much time with humans. This race looked rather weak, but after spending a long time with them, Hubble had to admit that under the weak appearance of humans, there was a tenacity that did not lose to anyone. Perhaps this was the reason why this young race was able to shine so brightly among the many lifeforms in the universe. They were always patiently waiting for an opportunity to come and erupt with unimaginable energy at the right time.
"Actually, these guys are not bad. At least, their drinks are not bad." Hubble missed the barrels that were almost as tall as he was, so he decided to soak himself in wine and sleep when he got back.
Then, he heard a strange noise.
Hubble immediately slapped the two warriors awake. The moment they opened their eyes, a look of fear flashed across their faces, but they quickly calmed down. Hubble pointed outside without saying a word. However, the warrior knew what he meant. One of them lay on the ground and pressed his ear against the ground. After a while, he got up and nodded.
The Catus walked into the cave and used their fingers to poke a small hole between the bushes. Through this small hole, he could see that there was no one on the shadowy mountain path outside. Hubble moved his gaze left and right again, and finally stopped in the shadow of a mountain wall on the left. Although Hubble could not see anything, he could always feel that the shadow was twisting. Suddenly, a pale human face emerged from the shadows without warning. It was the face of a female human with a strange smile on her face.
Then, his face twisted. When his two scarlet eyes rolled up, his entire face scattered into mottled gray dots. The cobra-like flat head raised, and a Jana spat out a long forked tongue from his mouth, letting out a rhythmic hiss. Then he swam down the mountain wall, his body appearing inch by inch under the moonlight. The snake-like bodies of the Ghanaians were covered with light green biological armor to protect their smooth, scaleless bodies. They had no hands and feet, but they had a row of feet on each side of their bodies. These centipede-like limbs allowed the Ghanaians to walk freely on most terrain. The steep mountains and complex jungles could not stop their footsteps. Apart from the sea, there was almost no environment that could stop the advance of the Ghanaians.
Seeing the Ghanaian sentry, Gatu narrowed his eyes and gestured to the two warriors behind him to wait a moment before wiping his neck. The Dark Blade Warrior nodded knowingly, knowing that Hubble was going to kill the sentry alone. Just as Hubble was about to rush out, another Ghanaian suddenly appeared. Then, there were more and more rustling sounds. Hubble finally cursed, "Damn it, we've been tricked. These long worms already knew about this stronghold. They're waiting for their prey to come to them! "
Since he had already been discovered, Hubble naturally did not intend to stay in the cave and wait for death. He raised his thick leg and kicked, causing the bushes and rocks to fly out. Hubble roared and ran out. The two Ghanaian sentries were not willing to be outdone. They hissed and swam over quickly. When they were still a few meters away from Hubble, the Ghanaians shrank their bodies and jumped into the air. They opened their mouths, revealing their sharp teeth. The most common attack method of the Ghanaians was to wrap their bodies around their prey and tear open their targets' bodies with their teeth. However, these were not their main methods of attack. The Ghanaians were sinister and evil beings. They had sharp stingers on their tails. Apart from injecting poison, the important thing was that the stingers were usually retracted into their bodies. Only at critical moments would they pop out and stab into the prey's body. Many unfamiliar Ghanaians often died under their stingers.
Unfortunately, Hubble knew them too well.
The Catus grabbed a Ghanaian with their hands. With a forceful split of his arms, he instantly tore apart the Ghanaian's body. The other Ghanaian jumped onto Hubble's body and wrapped his body around Hubble like a snake. Then, hundreds of pairs of feet scratched randomly, but they could only make a large number of extremely shallow cuts on Hubble's rough skin. When he tried to bite Hubble, the Catus grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the Ghanaian with both hands and roared loudly, directly splitting his mouth open.
After casually throwing the Ghanaian to the ground, Hubble added another kick, causing the sentry's head to explode. However, Hubble was not happy at all, because more and more white faces appeared in the shadows of the mountain in front of them. They had already been surrounded by the main forces of the Ghanaians.
"Come on, boys, it's time for us to go. Or do you want to stay and have a party with these worms? Then forgive me for not accompanying you. "Hubble began to retreat.
A Dark Blade Warrior said, "There are no obstacles in the Absolute Shadow Highlands after leaving the mountains. It will be very difficult for us to get rid of these outsiders on the plains."
"Then do you mean to use the environment here to defend and wait for Belmond to come to support you?" Hubble shook his head. "This idea is even worse. These worms can move in almost any terrain, and the mountainous environment will block our line of sight. There are too many shadows and caves for them to raid. The danger of staying in the mountains may be even higher than on the plains. "
"But" The soldier still wanted to say something, but the ground suddenly trembled, and streams of mud and sand sprayed out from the ground. The mountain cracked and arched, winding all the way like an earth dragon. The earth dragon quickly arrived at the feet of Hubble and the others. The Catus cursed, pulled up the nearest warrior and threw him to the side. Just as he was about to grab another person, the earth dragon suddenly exploded, and a thick black shadow rushed out from beneath the ground.
The darkness brought the Dark Blade Warrior up about ten meters into the air. Something swept over from the black shadow, and Hubble subconsciously raised his arm to block it and bounced it away. Only after he had retreated more than ten meters did he see that it was a huge bug. It was more than ten meters tall, and its head was as big as a mountain. His mouth opened and closed, chewing on the Dark Blade Warrior. His screams continued to come from above, and blood gushed out from behind him like a fountain.
He desperately tried to crawl out of the bloody mouth, but his body continued to slide down. In a few breaths, he only had one arm left, and he was still trying to catch something in vain. As the giant bug opened its mouth, the arm was bitten off and fell to the ground.
Hubble narrowed his eyes, raised his head to look at the giant bug, and whispered a name, "Anfulisen …"
After the predator Anfulisen ate the Dark Blade Warrior, he slowly lowered his head and stared at Hubble with his ferocious eyes. Like a snake, most of his body was coiled on the ground, while the other half of his body was raised. Just now, he had eaten mud and swallowed sand all the way underground, digging a tunnel that led straight to the soles of Hubble and the others. Originally, he wanted to chew all three of them in one bite, but Hubble was alert, causing Anfulisen to only eat one person.
This made him very unhappy. Anfulisen opened and closed his mouth, spitting out common language, "Traitor, don't expect to leave Lagerma. Your flesh and blood are destined to become my food. If I were you, I would give up my pointless resistance. That way, I can give you a quick death. "
Hubble sneered, "I want to stew you into insect soup, but I don't know how it tastes."
Anfulisen was immediately enraged. He opened his mouth and split open two jaws from the left and right sides, emitting a strange hissing sound. The depths of Hubble's pupils lit up, and his Origin Energy surged. As his Qi climbed, the joints in his body actually began to crack. Hubble's skin flushed red, his blood vessels bulged, his muscles swelled, and his originally tall body grew even larger. As the back of his head grew explosively, dyed red, a large oval crystal floated up from his chest, and Hubble immediately emitted a dense killing intent. The killing intent was so strong that the temperature of the nearby space plummeted.
As bone spikes emerged from all over his body, a circle of dark lines spread out around the crystal, and Hubble's transformation stopped. Anfulisen's pupils shrank as he said in a deep voice, "What's going on? I've never heard of such a change in the Catus! "
