Last Totem Novel - Chapter 312
Chapter 312 Unfamiliar
Not long after, the jeep turned into a garage. After parking the car, Bai Xiaoyun, led by two nobles, followed behind Tie Zha and walked into a gently lit, pristine restaurant. Looking around, he saw that the restaurant was built in a cave with a neat line of ventilation ducts on top, primitive frescoes and a thick row of log tables on both sides.
When they entered, Brian Reinhart received them personally. During the meal, Bryan and Tie Zha talked very closely, as if they had known each other for a long time. At this moment, they have selectively forgotten about their unhappiness at the Valentine’s Day party two months ago.
“This is the Abyss Cardinal that we just caught this morning. It tastes pretty good. Please try it more.” Bryan said enthusiastically as he made a “please” gesture to a turkey-sized roasted bird on the table.
After that, Tie Zha took a sip. The Abyss Cardinal’s meat was much tougher than ordinary chicken meat, but the taste of the meat was even more intense.
“It tastes good.” Tie Zha nodded in praise.
“It’s good that you like it. The conditions here are not comparable to those in the Western Continent. I’m afraid that I will neglect the knights of our Princess.” Bryan said with a smile. Then, he changed the topic and asked, “Friend, how long are you going to stay here?”
“We’ll set off later.” Tie Zha replied. He had to rush to the Thinker Stronghold as soon as possible. There had been no official commander there for months.
“Alright, I wish you all the best.” Bryan nodded and said, “You have just arrived and are not familiar with the situation. I will provide you with two guides.”
“Friend, you’re too polite. We’ve taken relevant courses, so we don’t need a guide for the time being.” Tie Zha postponed. He didn’t like people from other factions, especially the Reinhart family.
“This was arranged by the princess.” Bryan smiled and explained.
“Alright, then I’ll be respectful and obedient.” Tie Zha smiled and said.
After dinner, Tie Zha bid farewell to Bryan and returned to the temporary parking lot with two nobles as guides. According to the previous plan, they would follow Abyss Route 29 and then change to Route 163. If everything went smoothly, they would arrive at their destination within two days. However, the most important thing in the bottomless abyss was accidents.
After giving the order, all the Marines, logisticians, and medical personnel of the Wolf Legion put on protective suits, helmets, and oxygen cylinders, and activated their life support devices. As for the members of the Dynamo Armor Commandos, they also wore Mechanical Dynamo Armor one after another. Jerome and Marcus had less than 20% evolution, so they could only wear helmets and turn on the air filter.
Porcupine, Tuoba San, and Match activated their helmets. They could directly breathe the air in the abyss without using filters. As for Tie Zha, not only did his evolution exceed sixty percent, he was also an insecticide. The air in the abyss would only make him more energetic and not cause any harm.
To an advanced evolver like him, living in the abyss was like a fish in water. A high concentration of oxygen could increase his vitality, and the Psionic Energy Star Sand floating in the air could be directly absorbed and utilized by him, thereby greatly increasing his combat strength. In the environment of the Abyss, his combat strength assessment had risen by a level, reaching the peak of humanity-Diamond Three Stars.
However, diamond three stars did not mean that they were the strongest. On the contrary, they were only the basic criteria for becoming a Saint rank warrior. The reason for that was because once the diamond three stars went up, it would no longer be possible to simply use body data for analysis. Moreover, combat strength analysis had always been a reference type of data, unable to truly reflect combat skills, experience, intelligence, and other aspects of the situation.
Just as everyone was wearing their power armor, Hillman also put on his psionic power armor and drank a can of gatecrystal. He quickly rose to the level of a Tier 2 Psionic Adept, ignited the power core, and activated the Strength Amplification Device and the Air Filtering Device.
After everything was ready, Tie Zha jumped into the jeep and waved his hand. The convoy immediately lined up and left the parking lot. A few minutes later, amidst the roar of engines, the convoy drove onto Abyss Route 29 and headed towards their destination with billowing smoke.
Shortly after leaving the stronghold, an armored vehicle flew out of the crowd and drove forward at full speed. The armored vehicle, led by matches, will travel five kilometers ahead and be responsible for scouting along the way.
At this moment, Bai Xiaoyun was driving a jeep, Tie Zha was sitting in the passenger seat, and behind him were Eudith and Hillman. As the team’s guide, Billy and Match stayed in the armored vehicle at the front, while Eudith stayed by the team’s top commander’s side.
“Sister … Oh! No, Commander, I met a very, very hot hot girl today.” Hillman leaned forward. said to Tie Zha. “She has brown curly hair, a pair of clear and bright eyes, and her chest is so big …” Hillman gestured in front of his chest. ‘”Oh … she must be an angel. In order to pursue true love, she broke her wings and fell into the mortal world. She became a hot girl. I can see from her eyes that she came for me …”
“And then?” Tie Zha asked expressionlessly.
“I asked for her communication number, but she asked me to come find you.” Hillman said doubtfully.
“What’s her name?” Tie Zha asked casually. Although he had guessed who Hillman was talking about, he had to make sure that he wasn’t mistaken.
“I don’t know her name, but I remember her voice, her eyes smiling …” Hillman said intoxicated.
“And then?”
“There’s no more. I only know one thing about her” Hillman glanced left and right, then lowered his voice and said, “She’s from our legion.”
Looking at his mysterious uncle, Tie Zha rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “That’s my woman. Don’t even think about it.”
‘”Why is it your woman again?” Hillman said with a look of displeasure. “And …” He argued, “How can you be sure that she’s the hot girl I’m talking about? Perhaps they’re not the same person?”
“In this legion, there is only one woman.” Bai Xiaoyun couldn’t help but interrupt.
‘”Ah …” Hillman was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought for a moment before saying to Tie Zha, “Commander, you’re wrong.”
“Huh?” Tie Zha looked at the endless darkness outside the car and asked without turning his head. The road was carved out of stone walls, one side of which was made of stone and the other side of which was made of cliffs.
“Item 6 of Article 351 of the General’s Manual says that during the march, it is not recommended that the general bring the women with him.” Hillman said.
“Your memory is not bad. Then let me ask you, what does the third paragraph of Article 15 of the General’s Manual say?” Bai Xiaoyun interrupted again and asked. Hillman thought for a moment and gave the former a look of “ruthlessness”, but did not say anything else, because this rule was: “During the march, officers have the right to execute disobedient subordinates on the spot.”
While the three of them were chatting, seven or eight kilometers away, a young Abyss Lizard was quietly climbing onto the rock wall, hiding its huge body in the darkness. Right at this moment, a slight tremor came from far to near. The giant lizard immediately twisted its neck and nimbly swung its head the size of a motorcycle, looking at the source of the tremor. Immediately after, a white spot of light appeared on its retina. As time passed, the spots of light became brighter and brighter, and gradually came the roar of the engine.
The giant lizard quickly came to a conclusion that the high-speed moving iron sheet in front of it was filled with fresh flesh and blood. It was precisely the nutrition it was eager to replenish. After making its decision, it swiftly swung its body, ready to launch a sneak attack.
As time passed, the lights in front of them became more and more dazzling, and the roars grew louder and louder.
The moment the armored vehicle roared over, the Abyss Lizard suddenly jumped out of the stone wall, climbed onto the ceiling of the road, and pounced downwards. In an instant, this enormous Abyss Lizard with dark green scales shining all over its body and a height of nearly fifteen meters smashed into the high-speed armored vehicle like a mountain!
“Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp …”
Just as the car was about to crash and die, a series of intense braking sounds rang out. The armored vehicle suddenly crossed the body, sparks splashing all over the wheel hub. The tires of the armored vehicle dragged along billowing black smoke, and they glided forward laterally close to the ground.
“Pa!”
Amidst the loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the armored vehicle made a beautiful sharp turn, dragging black smoke as it drifted past the giant lizard. If a professional racing driver saw this, they would also cheer loudly for this spectacular scene.
However, just as the armored vehicle crossed the mountain-like body of the giant lizard and was about to flee, the giant lizard that had just landed twisted its waist and swung its thick tail inwards. “Bang!” With a loud explosion, the python-like lizard tail landed on the side of the armored vehicle, causing a large dent in the solid body.
Under the sudden impact, the armored vehicle slammed into the stone wall and continued to slide forward without diminishing its momentum. Amidst the extremely sharp friction sound that almost pierced through the eardrums, dazzling sparks shot out from the gap between the body and the stone wall, causing the surroundings to turn completely red.
“Hiss …”
The Abyss Lizard let out a low hissing sound. At the same time, it twisted its waist, swung its limbs, and crawled towards the armored vehicle at an extremely high frequency.
At this moment, the uncontrollable armored vehicle was in chaos. The scouts staggered, the driver’s head was covered in blood, and he shrugged his head. Within a few breaths, the match in the Mechanical Power Armor was the first to recover from his dizziness. After regaining his balance, he quickly bent his body and bent his arm. Then, he sank slightly. He suddenly kicked his leg and prepared his momentum. Then, he punched open the roof of the car and jumped out.
In the blink of an eye, the match in mid-air turned around and put away its right leg. The moment its center of gravity moved forward, it kicked the stone wall with all its might and ignited the propeller at the same time. He was like an erupting rocket, dragging a bright red tail flame and shooting straight at the head of the giant lizard that was crazily approaching.
“Go to hell!”
In the blink of an eye, only a loud shout from the match could be heard, and a fist smashed into the lizard’s eyes, causing blood to splatter everywhere. At the same time that the crimson eyeball exploded, the match did not stop for a moment and directly pulled the trigger of the emergency shotgun on his arm.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
With three muffled sounds, blazing lead bullets shot out and sprayed into the bloody sockets of his eyes.
“Hiss …”
The giant lizard let out a deafening scream. At the same time, it twisted its huge body and shook its head crazily.
“Clang!” With a dull crash, the match grabbing the lizard’s eye socket was thrown out and fell heavily on the stone wall. In an instant, Match’s internal organs seemed to have been misplaced. His stomach was in turmoil, and sparks appeared in his eyes. His chest was extremely depressed, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Hiss …”
At the same time, the insane giant lizard roared, lowered its head, and pounced towards the unconscious match!
In an instant, a huge head came forward. Fortunately, the match that was stuck to the stone wall slid down and unconsciously dodged the fatal blow. The giant lizard’s head was unstoppable, “Boom!” With a loud explosion, the stone wall cracked everywhere and pieces flew everywhere.
However, before the match, which could dodge a single blow, could wake up, the giant lizard shook its head and took a step back. After seeing its prey clearly, it crawled on the ground and pounced on it again.
In this state of life and death, a meteor suddenly flew over from behind. In a flash, it rumbled over.
“Bang!”
The next second, there was a muffled thunderous sound. Two multiple Abyss Lizards actually flew up into the air. After landing, they continued to roll forward without diminishing their momentum. They continued to roll forward until they broke through the barrier and tumbled down the cliff. Suddenly, the desperate scream became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the void …
Looking at the shocking scene, Match, who was gradually waking up, widened his eyes in disbelief. Looking at the golden-armored battle armor and the colorful figure, he seemed to have a hint of an illusion. It was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Familiarity is because of his aura, strangeness is because of his strength.
