Chapter 463

Su Xiao looked at the plain in front of him; the vegetation here clearly had traces of being gnawed on by animals.

"This is the explosion zone?"

"Right, this is it."

Old Man Shi looked into the distance at a dirt pit: "See that dirt pit?"

"What about it?"

"My most respected elder brother was blown to death there. He was a warrior who had stolen a Bahamut egg."

Su Xiao's pupils constricted slightly. Someone actually dared to steal a Bahamut egg, but he didn't stop to think that he himself had beaten Bahamut's hatchlings several times before.

"Kaluo, how many times are left today?"

Old Man Shi looked at Kaluo on the side.

"Five times."

"Good, then you take the lead."

As soon as Old Man Shi finished speaking, Kaluo walked toward the explosion zone.

Kaluo's expression was dull, not caring at all about stepping on Explosion Ants, and just walked straight forward like that.

Old Man Shi followed, Su Xiao followed behind Old Man Shi, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked at the very back.

"Crack."

A crisp sound came from ahead, and Kaluo, who was walking in the front, stopped.

Poof!

A blast of air expanded. The blast made Su Xiao's clothes rustle, and a severed leg whistled past him; it was Kaluo's leg.

Undoubtedly, Kaluo had stepped on an Explosion Ant. Although an explosion occurred, it didn't make a very loud sound, just like stepping on an air bag.

Patting the dirt off his head, Su Xiao looked forward.

A large pit with a diameter of three meters appeared, and inside the pit was Kaluo, who had been blown to the point where only his upper body remained.

"Luck isn't very good."

Old Man Shi sighed, stepped forward, and dragged Kaluo out of the dirt pit. He untied an animal's stomach from his lower back; it was a water bag.

Opening the water bag, Old Man Shi poured a pale red liquid from it, pouring it directly onto Kaluo's withered cheek.

The plant roots inside Kaluo's cheek began to tremble, and his eyes suddenly opened.

Crack, crack, crack.

Like a plant regenerating, Kaluo's lower body gradually regenerated.

A dozen seconds later, Kaluo stood up as if nothing had happened and continued to walk forward.

Su Xiao noticed one point: Kaluo's height had become shorter. The previous Kaluo was at least three meters tall, but now he was at most about two meters seven.

Although Kaluo and Old Man Shi were both suspicious, Su Xiao didn't ask.

The small team continued to move forward, no one speaking. Kaluo was scouting the path in front, stepping on Explosion Ants from time to time.

Su Xiao, following behind, held a small bag in his hand, which contained gunpowder; this was obtained after dismantling the bullets of the Spider Queen.

He sprinkled a trace amount of gunpowder along the route. Although one couldn't see this gunpowder with the naked eye, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could smell it, so there would be a safe route when returning.

After going two-thirds of the way into the explosion zone, Kaluo stepped on an Explosion Ant again. After recovering, Kaluo stopped moving forward.

"The number of times is used up."

Kaluo had already been blown to pieces five times, so he stood in place like a piece of wood, not taking another step forward.

Old Man Shi asked tentatively: "How about overdrawing a few times?"

"No, it will kill, it will hurt."

Kaluo refused flatly, and Old Man Shi was somewhat helpless.

"My dear ally, look..."

Old Man Shi looked at Su Xiao.

"No way, I can't perceive the location of the Explosion Ants."

Su Xiao wasn't lying; he truly couldn't perceive the location of the Explosion Ants.

Old Man Shi hesitated for a while. He walked to the front of the group. The reason Old Man Shi was cooperating with Su Xiao was to make use of Su Xiao's exquisite sword art.

At this time, the Zerg had already noticed the intrusion of the few. If they advanced a bit further, the Zerg Queen would send her subordinates to attack them.

By then, the Mother Nest would be completely sealed. To enter the Mother Nest, one could only force their way in. Old Man Shi had tried many methods and failed, until he saw Su Xiao's sharp slashes on the battlefield, and Old Man Shi decided to cooperate with Su Xiao.

This time, Old Man Shi, this old fox, scouted the path. This old guy wasn't as straightforward as Kaluo; he bent his waist, checking for a long time with every step he took.

Su Xiao, following behind, was somewhat puzzled. The Asenman tribe had so many people; why didn't Old Man Shi bring more people to scout the path?

It wasn't that Old Man Shi didn't want to find people to scout the path. Although he was the leader of the Asenman tribe, the interior of the Asenman tribe wasn't an iron bucket, and many people were coveting his position.

If the people of the tribe knew that he had the intention of obtaining the Regeneration Egg, then he wouldn't be able to continue as leader.

For a Blood Vine Warrior, although the Regeneration Egg was a way to survive, it would be despised by others.

The final destination of a Blood Vine Warrior is to return to the sun, commonly known as self-detonation~.

Old Man Shi clearly didn't want to die by self-detonation, so he risked coming to the Zerg to obtain the Regeneration Egg.

Old Man Shi in front didn't walk a few steps before stopping, seemingly hesitating about something.

"The number of Explosion Ants is not normal."

Old Man Shi squatted on the ground, observing a patch of dirt in front of him.

"No other way, can only use that move, hope the body can still withstand it."

While speaking, Old Man Shi stretched out his withered palm.

Crack, crack, crack.

Old Man Shi's five fingers fell off naturally, dropping to the ground.

After the five fingers hit the ground, they immediately submerged into the dirt. In less than a minute, five vines broke through the soil. After the five vines grew to several dozen centimeters high, they gradually formed human shapes.

Pop.

The roots of the vines broke, and the five vines actually formed human shapes, turning into five little people woven from vines, swaying as they walked forward.

At this time, Old Man Shi was panting heavily, pouring red liquid into his mouth in large gulps, and a heat wave spread around him.

With the vine little people scouting the path, moving forward was clearly much safer.

Ten minutes later, only two vine little people remained, and the three of them walked to the end of the explosion zone.

The explosion zone was only considered the outermost area of the Zerg nest; the road ahead would be even more dangerous.

Old Man Shi's fingers had already regenerated, but Su Xiao discovered that the temperature around Old Man Shi was getting higher and higher.

Su Xiao subconsciously moved away from Old Man Shi; he suspected that this old guy might self-detonate at any time.

At this moment, Old Man Shi's gaze could only be described as ferocious, like a wild beast pushed to the brink.

"Continue forward, charge straight through."

Old Man Shi stared at the massive Mother Nest in the distance; the entrance to the Mother Nest had been sealed.

The sound of chitinous limbs colliding came, and a large number of Thorn Scorpions swarmed over.

The number of Thorn Scorpions was in the hundreds; this number of Thorn Scorpions couldn't stop the few of them.

There was a reason Old Man Shi chose to invade the Mother Nest at this time; the Zerg needed to spawn troops to deal with the frontal battlefield, so the rear must be empty.

"Roar!"

The Thorn Scorpions, covered in black chitin, roared, their entire bodies emitting a sour, foul smell.

"I need to cool down, so please."

Old Man Shi took out a compass and, after hesitating, threw the compass to Su Xiao.

Catching the compass, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. He had a way out; afterward, he could fight if he wanted to fight and retreat if he wanted to retreat. However, the benefits inside the Zerg nest should be quite a few, so he wouldn't withdraw now.

"This is the attitude of cooperation."

Su Xiao drew the Zhan Long Shan from his waist, and the Thorn Scorpions charged from all directions.

The sour, foul smell on the Thorn Scorpions became even more pungent. Su Xiao killed the Thorn Scorpions within three meters with a few slashes, severed limbs and green blood splashing everywhere, but this meant nothing to the hundreds of Thorn Scorpions.

Su Xiao also discovered this point, so he stopped slashing.

"Get down."

Under Old Man Shi's surprised gaze, Su Xiao sheathed the Zhan Long Shan and took a deep breath.

"Ring Break."

Zing.

The Zhan Long Shan left its sheath, and a wisp of white blade light spread out. The blade light was very thin, spreading rapidly in a circle toward the surroundings.

The circular blade light dissipated after spreading out for a dozen meters, and the surrounding Thorn Scorpions were all in a static state.
