Chapter 474: Strange Combination

"Are you sure this is the right road?"

Old Lao Baer walked cautiously in the explosion zone. In front were Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

This old guy's condition stabilized after absorbing the regeneration egg, so he became more cautious and afraid of death.

Su Xiao had sprinkled gunpowder on the way here in advance, and he had asked Old Lao Baer whether the explosion ants would move after sneaking into the soil. The answer was no.

Walking in the explosion zone, Su Xiao turned his head to look at Old Lao Baer: "You didn't prepare a retreat before?"

Old Lao Baer shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Didn't prepare. The Native Seed severely eroded my reason. At that time, all I could think about was how to obtain the regeneration egg."

Speaking of this, Old Lao Baer sighed.

"Heh~, you might not believe it, but this is my sixth time coming to steal a regeneration egg."

Old Lao Baer looked at the brood nest, seemingly thinking of something funny.

"The Zerg never invaded us. For hundreds of years, it has been the Yasenman tribe actively attacking the Zerg."

Su Xiao didn't feel surprised by Old Lao Baer's words.

The regeneration egg was the only way out for the Blood Vine Warriors. It wasn't strange for successive Yasenman tribe leaders to want to seize such resources.

During the conversation, the two walked out of the explosion zone, and Old Lao Baer turned his head to look at the brood nest again.

"The war with the Zerg is about to end."

Old Lao Baer stood in place, looking at the brood nest from afar.

"I met the Zerg Queen before, and judging by her tone, she is preparing to leave. She should have sensed that the 'Cold Disaster' is coming. The Yasenman tribe might not be able to survive this 'Cold' disaster."

"Cold Disaster?"

"Yes, Cold Disaster. Without the Cold Disaster, there would be no birth of Blood Vine Warriors."

The two marched toward the Yasenman tribe, chatting as they walked.

"If it were just to fight the Zerg, we wouldn't need to perform the ritual and become those damn 'short-lived warriors'."

Old Lao Baer gritted his teeth.

"Oh? Blood Vine Warriors weren't born to fight the Zerg?"

"Of course not, what do they count as." Smiling and shaking his head, Old Lao Baer continued: "The Blood Vine Warrior inheritance has lasted for thousands of years, while the Zerg have only landed for a few hundred years. The Zerg Queen might also feel that the things inside the Black Forest are becoming more and more stable, with signs of waking up. Summer is about to pass, and the bone-chilling winter is coming, so leaving this island is a wise choice."

Old Lao Baer didn't say what was in the Black Forest, but he wasn't fear-mongering.

The Yasenman tribe's choice to settle in the red soil area was very abnormal in itself. You know, they would arrive in the ordinary area just by passing the cliff stone bridge.

The ordinary area had a good environment, with abundant fresh water and food. Although there were more wild beasts, for the Yasenman tribe, those wild beasts were food.

The Yasenman tribe didn't choose to enter the ordinary area, but had always lived in the harsh red soil area.

Outside the ordinary area was the Black Forest, and the two were close together. If the Black Forest had a situation, the first to suffer would be the ordinary area.

Living in the red soil area was different. There were cliffs all around, and only a natural stone bridge was the passage. This was a natural 'fortress'.

"The Zerg Queen hasn't seen it, nor does she care about our ancestors' warnings. In her view, this is just a remote planet's small island, incomparable to the Void. But she doesn't know that our Yasenman tribe was also a Void race."

Su Xiao's footsteps paused, and he looked at Old Lao Baer with strange light in his eyes.

"Very surprised? These things couldn't be passed on before. Now it's unclear whether the Yasenman tribe can survive this disaster, so saying it out doesn't matter."

Old Lao Baer looked at the sky, his turbid old eyes full of helplessness.

"We are watchers, watchers sent by a king in the Void. We have been watching here for thousands of years. On this barren island, we gradually lost our civilization, lost our technology, and our clansmen became more and more like primitive people. The inability to leave this island limited our development."

Old Lao Baer sighed.

"Forget it, saying these things is already meaningless. Better to take you to see the ritual. You adventurers always make requests that are hard to understand."

Su Xiao was thinking about Old Lao Baer's words.

Before, he still thought Devour Island was based on the war between Zerg and humans. Now it seemed it wasn't the case.

The Yasenman tribe were not natives of the island; they were outsiders sent to watch over something or some creature on the island.

"Since you have the strength to wipe out the Zerg, why don't you enslave them and let the Zerg mass-produce regeneration eggs?"

Old Lao Baer, walking in front, shook his head.

"The price is too high. Unless the Cold Disaster arrives, we won't use that, absolutely won't, never will!"

Old Lao Baer stopped speaking and walked in front like a silent gourd.

"Wait."

Su Xiao stopped in place. Old Lao Baer's brows were tightly locked, thinking Su Xiao was going to force him to ask something.

"Someone is approaching."

Su Xiao pressed his hand on the hilt of his blade. Although Old Lao Baer didn't quite trust Su Xiao, he knew Su Xiao wouldn't joke about such things.

The roar of an engine came, and a three-row armored vehicle drove into view. Anyone with a brain knew that the person driving the armored vehicle was a Some Qiyuezhe.

Inside the armored vehicle, a man with a beard was leaning in the back seat, with a female Some Qiyuezhe sitting beside him. His hand was wandering inside the female Some Qiyuezhe's clothes.

"Brother Old Black, there are people ahead."

The skinny driver spoke.

"Natives or Contractors?"

Old Black with the beard pulled his large hand out of the female Some Qiyuezhe's clothes and pinched his chin with the fluffy beard.

Old Black was not a black person; his skin was just slightly dark, plus that full beard, so everyone called him Old Black.

"A native and... a Some Qiyuezhe!"

"Hmm?"

Old Black straightened up and looked out through the side window.

There were six people in the armored vehicle, five men and one woman. This armored vehicle should have been carried using space compression technology.

"Black Brother, don't bother with them. We need to leave the red soil area as soon as possible. We haven't eaten for a day. If it weren't for that dead stupid guy, we wouldn't be short of food."

Old Black's female Some Qiyuezhe beside him spoke. This female Some Qiyuezhe's tone was flattering, and her status among the few shouldn't be high.

"They are carrying food and fresh water."

Old Black saw the meat jerky and mountain spring water carried on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back.

"Great."

"Rob them."

Several Contractors took out their weapons one after another.

"Old Black, don't cause extra trouble. Leaving as soon as possible is the most important."

An old man in the back row of the armored vehicle spoke. The old man sat alone in the back row, taking out a biscuit to eat while speaking.

The chewing sound came from inside the car. Including Old Black, several people swallowed their saliva. They hadn't eaten for a day.

"Master Iron, food is not much..."

Old Black just opened his mouth when he found Master Iron looking at him coldly.

A surge of anger rose in his heart. If it were a contest of strength, Old Black could hammer this old man into meat paste.

But Old Black didn't dare. If this old man lost even a single hair, his team leader would chop him up to drink with wine.

"I said don't bother with them, didn't you hear?"

Master Iron finished the biscuit in his hand and took out a bottle of water to drink slowly.

"Got it, Master, let's go."

Old Black let out a long breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 475 =====
