#424 - Entering the Canyon

Chapter 423: Entering the Canyon

The howling death wind whipped up sand and dust, striking the bar's walls with a crackling sound. [-]

Inside the room, Singer had already left, but Blood瞳 was still deep in thought...

In the brief hour or so of conversation, Singer revealed a great deal of information, giving Blood瞳 a deeper understanding of him. However, Blood瞳 wasn't concerned with his background, but with other things. For example... that bizarre mutated beast.

Blood瞳 hadn't missed the two terms Singer used when describing the mutated beast.

"Giant steel" and "bullets."

Should these two things appear in the description of a mutated beast? As far as Blood瞳 knew, all mutated beasts were flesh and blood compounds, and absolutely had nothing to do with steel. Moreover, the more powerful the mutated beast, the more its power structure resembled that of a cosmic warrior, developing towards physical or mental strength. He had never heard of a mutated beast whose primary attack method was bullets. After all, mutated beasts were a type of wild animal, and even if many possessed intelligence, they were far from creating and using weapons.

Could you imagine a wild animal picking up a gun and shooting? It was almost impossible.

But... it was only almost.

\u003cg above.

Whatever curiosity he had would be answered tomorrow. Why rush?

The night was long, and gradually rays of light shot out from the clouds. A new day had begun. Outside in the wilderness, the death wind gradually weakened, leaving everyone with a rare morning. The people of the gathering point began to get busy. They came out of the residential area in the mountains, some to work in the terraced fields, and others to head to the wilderness and mountains to hunt and scavenge.

In the apocalypse, everyone had to do their best to survive.

When Blood瞳 walked out of the bar, Singer and Harrow had been waiting for a long time. Singer was still wearing his old military uniform, carrying two large canvas bags in his hands, and a large iron box on his back. Harrow stood aside empty-handed. Seeing Blood瞳 arrive, Singer said in a hoarse voice.

"I've agreed with him that he doesn't need to come along on this mission. He can stay here and watch the car."

Blood瞳 glanced at Singer silently, without expressing any objection. In fact, both Singer and he could easily see that Harrow's strength was not enough to participate in this matter. Although his strength was considered strong among ordinary people, this mission involved a mysterious mutated beast, and he would only be courting death if he went.

"Then you stay here. Wait for me to come back," Blood瞳 said to Harrow. Then he walked out of the gathering point with Singer.

Watching the backs of the two, Harrow shrugged helplessly. He vaguely felt that he was superfluous this time.

On the other side, Blood瞳 and Singer had entered the mountain jungle.

This was an unnamed mountain range, and like any mountain range in X35, it was full of danger and unknowns. The jungle plants here were all mutated. In order to survive, even plants in the apocalypse were full of aggression. So along the way, they had suffered at least hundreds of attacks. Sometimes it was a large tree suddenly extending man-eating branches, sometimes the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing the large mouth of a man-eating plant below. Still others seemed harmless, but suddenly released deadly poisonous mist when people passed by.

Of course, these couldn't affect the two. The two just silently advanced, easily sweeping away the plants that threatened them. According to Singer, the destination this time was far away, a large canyon deep in the mountains. This large canyon was called 'Lans Hercanya', which in the ancient local language meant 'man-eating demon'.

Along the way, they traveled during the day and camped at night. Their speed was not slow, and they finally entered a large canyon on the morning of the fifth day. This place was rarely visited, with sheer cliffs on both sides, as if they had been split open by a large axe. Weathered rocks occasionally rolled down from the cliffs, raising layers of dust. When the death wind blew through the canyon, the wind speed would increase more than twice, as sharp as a knife. Ordinary people simply couldn't stay here.

"We're here," Singer said expressionlessly, leaning against a large rock. Although he had borne almost all of the burden for the two of them, he seemed to feel nothing, not even a drop of sweat. It was just that his body was covered in sand and dust because of the journey, making him look gray.

On the other hand, Blood瞳 was still clean and tidy, as if he had just left the gathering point.

Looking over Singer's shoulder, Blood瞳 sized up the canyon for a while, then said in a low voice. "This is that guy's lair?"

"I can't be sure," Singer replied, opening the canvas bag at hand and taking out some equipment to put on. This equipment included wind goggles with scanners, semi-covered individual combat armor, etc. He put them on as he said.

"You know, the first time I encountered that monster was at a gathering point on the other side of the mountain range. It's far from here. I guess that's not its lair. So I later collected a lot of information. The latest information shows that someone found a huge movable object near here, and it caused terrain-altering damage."

"Terrain-altering?"

"Yes." Singer nodded, putting on a shoulder pad. It closed with a click. "Five months ago, this canyon didn't exist. It was just an ordinary cliff. But one day, a group of hunters camped near here, and at night they heard a earth-shattering roar. They rushed out and saw a huge moving object. For safety reasons, they didn't get close, and when it dawned, they discovered this canyon."

Speaking of this, Singer took out two machine guns, checked them, and pulled down the bolts. "I didn't find the exact location of that guy, but according to this information, I guess it's near here. In this mountain range, only a terrifying mutated beast like it can cause such terrifying damage. Just like that night."

"This is just a guess," Blood瞳 said calmly, watching the busy Singer.

"But it's enough." Singer raised his head and met Blood瞳's eyes. "I don't have much time. I have to find it before the blood moon rises. So I can only gamble."

After saying that, he opened another canvas bag and took out a set of equipment, saying to Blood瞳. "Do you want these? I've prepared a copy for you too."

Blood瞳 glanced at the things inside and shook his head slightly. "No need. Thank you."

"You're really a strange person." Singer shook his head. "My equipment is the best from the Land of Paradise. It took me a lot of effort. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been excited to death, but you don't even want to take a second look. I don't know if you look down on this equipment or if you really don't need it. But I think you should have a little more protection."

"It's just my habit, you're thinking too much," Blood瞳 replied.

"Then I'll give you this. It's also a top-quality product that I just got from Karlster. The latest model of ion rifle, the energy magazines are all specially made. Enhanced power type." Singer said, taking out a rifle from the canvas bag.

"This mission is your support. This thing can guarantee that you can take care of a pack of wasteland wolves in thirty seconds..."

"No need, I don't know how to use a gun." Blood瞳 refused again. Finally, he added. "I can't use any of this equipment. You don't have to worry about me. But... thank you for your kindness."

"............" Singer finally fell silent, frowned and looked at Blood瞳 for a while, and finally sighed. "Forget it. I can't convince you. But I hope you know the danger of this mission. Although you are responsible for support, it won't be easy. I don't want you to be of no help when the time comes."

"Don't worry." Blood瞳 smiled dumbly. "I will definitely be able to help. After all, we have an agreement, don't we. You pay, I contribute."

"I hope so." Singer stopped persuading. At this time, he had also basically put on his protective gear. He stood up with his guns.

He chose two large ion machine guns, the barrels alone were more than two meters long, looking majestic. The large iron box was still on his back, making his appearance like a huge black bear. The reason why he chose ion machine guns instead of live ammunition machine guns was mainly because of the ammunition supply problem. Live ammunition guns needed too many bullets, and carrying them all would greatly affect his actions.

But even so, Singer's load was amazing. But he moved nimbly, like a nimble monkey shuttling through the rocks.

The two quickly walked into the canyon.

As soon as they entered the canyon, the death wind suddenly became stronger. The powerful wind pressure wrapped countless sand and stones and attacked the two. It instantly struck Singer's body countless times, bursting out countless sparks.

"Be careful!" He shouted, gritting his teeth. He turned around to take care of Blood瞳.

But he was stunned as soon as he turned around. Because he was surprised to find that Blood瞳 was standing behind him so leisurely. There wasn't even a trace of dust on his body. The oncoming sand and stones and wind weasels slid past his sides, like soft gauze. It didn't affect him at all.

"You guy..." Singer was immediately choked with anger.

Of course he knew why... Blood瞳 used him as a shield. Hiding in the windless dead spot behind him. In this way, unless he was knocked down by the wind, Blood瞳 could walk around as if he was strolling in a garden, without spending a single bit of effort.

But despite his anger, Singer's heart also sank at the same time. He vaguely realized that Blood瞳 was extraordinary.

You have to know that hiding in a windless dead spot sounds simple, but it's too difficult to do. This meant that Blood瞳 could grasp all of his actions, and every step was predictable. Moreover, his reaction and speed had to be at least twice as fast as his in order to stay consistent with him like a shadow.

This is too perverted...

Although he had known for a long time that Blood瞳 was unusual, Singer still didn't expect Blood瞳 to be so powerful. His reaction and speed were more than twice as fast as his. Why would such a guy stay in X35?

Singer thought strangely, but his feet were not slow, and he rushed into the storm so bravely.

The wind howled... faintly there was a trace of fishy smell.
